People watching, it's a fascinating way to pass the time isn't it? Take my current location at the moment, I'm sat at the end of a substantial stainless steel bar top.

I came home from work on a Thursday evening to find, of all things, a small baby sparrow, barely able to keep its eyes open and clearly unable to fly, hopping along the wall beneath the window of my apartment as it chirped constantly, pleading for help.

We all lead different lives. And none of us is exactly what he or she appears to be. The same holds true for me, I guess. My name is Farah Al-Mokhtar, and I was born in the City of Khor Angar in the Republic of Djibouti. I've been living in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, for the past fifteen years.

I was born in the City of Cap-Haitien in the Republic of Haiti, but raised in the town of Miami, State of Florida. I'm a U.S. citizen who's never forgotten his Haitian roots. By the way, I'm also a Werewolf. I have the ability to transform myself into a wolf. The type t...

Free speech is granted by the first amendment, but that freedom is being censored all the time. Censorship, self or otherwise, is no laughing matter. Well, it would be if we weren't...
Walking in the basement door after work, I heard a repetitive banging noise upstairs, directly under my bedroom. It sounded like the headboard hitting the wall, and as I listened closer, I heard the squeal of mattress coils. Damn! Not a good sign for someone who had only been married four days... ------------------- Standing at the altar in St. John's Epi...
