Love More: 3 of My Favorite ThingsSecond Place in Love More Challenge
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the internet. Throughout these online perusal sessions, you may mistakenly come across certain material on the screen that makes you want to shove whatever device you're using into a deep, dark pit of fire that accurately sums up your feelings on the matter at the time.

The Tulsa race massacre, Emmett Till's grotesque murder, the Selma to Montgomery marches and Dr. King assassination are a few examples of these pivotal events.

When asked whether he would sign off on seeing his time-traveling comedy classic receive the remake treatment, Back To The Future director Robert Zemeckis emphatically replied with an "oh, God no... That can’t happen until both [his writing partner] Bob [Gale] and I are dead. And then I’m sure they’ll do it, unless there’s a way our estates can stop it."

When My Mom and I Decided Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On' Would Be My Future Wedding Song
Growing up in Toronto, Ontario during the late '90s/early 2000s, there were a handful of recording artists that fellow Canadians worshiped at the altar of. There was Queen Céline Dion of course, Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden, The Tragically Hip and Bryan Adams (I swear this man can feed the next twenty generations of Adams' with the royalties he's collected from his head banger "Everything I Do") just to name a few.

Pizzaland: You May Think Pizza But I Think Kufta
I've lived in and around the Scarborough area of Toronto, Ontario for my entire life. I don't want to sound like a big deal but I'm pretty sure I walked on the same sidewalk as The Weeknd did when he was a wee youth... So we've got that connection together.

The Hike From Hell That Ended Up Being All Worth It
So let me give you some insight into my life: my idea of taxing physical exertion is having to get up from my couch to walk over to the kitchen, grabbing a bag of chips and walking back over to the couch where I snuggle back into the spot I will call home for the next 1 or 8 hours.

Netflix's 'Everything Sucks!' Is the Perfect Blend of 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Stranger Things' (Minus the Demogorgons)
A series set in the mid-1990s about a group of high schoolers living in a town called Boring; this is the very basic synopsis of the new Netflix original series titled Everything Sucks! At first glance, it may seem like a typical project created to satisfy the nostalgic cravings many feel about a "simpler time." Back when dial-up was all the rage and the beaming neon glow of a Blockbuster store soothed your Friday night woes. Initially when I began watching the series I figured this is what it would showcase and hey, I'm all for a light watch that contains references here and there to the 90s or whatever time period a series is set in.
