Here is the correct order in which the weekend’s events should have occurred: Make me a banana choc smoothie, tell me about your ‘technical’ breakup, I’ll throw said smoothie in your face, and we can skip the rest. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, —I would advise not messing with a Scorpio, particularly not a brunette […]

Marihuana: The evil drug
I’ve never been stoned. I don’t smoke. I used to drink, but the cost to feel good, was taken away by paying 25 bucks for a bottle of booze that has $15 in taxes attached to it! So, back to the marihuana. It’s illegal right now. The debate is endless about the stuff. Is it […]

Where’s Courtney?
So, when I saw The Coast had a new column called ASK HOLE, I immediately got all excited. Finally, I could have all my personal dilemmas addressed by one of the 90’s edgiest alt-rock bands. Instead, people’s questions are being answered by some rando who is definitely not Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson and/or Melissa Auf […]

To Halifax, with love
I miss you everyday. I mistreated you when I was in your warm embrace. With some time apart, I realize just how much you mean to me. I hope when I return home, you’ll welcome me again. I miss your freedom and your small-town smile. I miss your art and connection. Please forgive me, I […]

Nova Scotia Harmony
Let’s hear it for politicians who try to create harmony rather than discord and who believe in trying to build a better Nova Scotia by bringing people together and treating them in a polite and respectful way. —I believe in harmony

Downtown Devastation
Come on, Halifax. The downtown core is a disastrous mess of construction sites and detours. Even beyond the Nova Centre debacle, trying to get down Barrington street now is terrible!! The old Misty Moon site cuts off the main drag, you’re constantly crossing sidewalks and taking side streets to get around. I just moved here […]

I wonder why there has to be so much space between us. —Warm and waiting

We Match Well
It’s been a while since I’ve been in a SERIOUS relationship. I’ve gone for coffee with you once, and I can’t stop thinking of you. The way you put yourself together and carry yourself is a beautiful art. I know, I’m socially awkward and sometimes I don’t know what to say. I also know that […]

Grabbing a Coffee Makes Me Weak in the Knees
I visited the popular coffee shop where you work last week and quite literally gasped when I first caught sight of you. I nearly fainted, and my poor heart skipped several beats. Since then, I’ve found it hard to think of almost anything else. Your beauty is addictive and all but impossible to ignore. “Think […]

Who else?
What other governments have undermined collective bargaining? Hmm, do the names Mussolini and Franco sound familiar? I wish they had courses on democracy at community college. —Those who remain ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it

Muffin man to the rescue!
Endured waiting room hell on Friday at the hospital…both my Mom and I were getting cranky and tired. Saw you leave and thought you had given up…but lo and behold you returned and offered everyone sitting there a nice big muffin and butter! Thanks…you staved off a case of “office rage.” Will “pass it forward” next opportunity […]

“Adulting”
Yes, we’re grown-ups now. Many of us are in our 30s. You can’t adult today? You’re proud because you adulted earlier? Are you capable of an original thought? Are you looking for a pat on the back because you went grocery shopping and bought vegetables? Do you think everyone within ear shot gives a fuck […]
