Hey Mom! Is currently undergoing renovations, we appreciate your patience while we work to serve you better

Hey Mom!

So you may or may not have noticed depending on the frequency with which you visit this blog that there are some changes unfolding on thE website.  I have decided to update and maintain this site with a little more frequency for a few reasons (they aren't any of your business but lucky for you I am willing to share):

1. I would like to make money writing someday and practice makes publishable.
2. My life is actually more complicated than Top Ten Lists once every couple months.
3. I really enjoy this and I think I could make this website even better if I give it a little more attention.
4.  I waste my time doing a lot of pointless things like trying to invent a contraptions out broken stuff I've kept, cleaning my room, or playing apps I actually hate.

So I will be trying to update Hey Mom! a minimum of once a week as well as I have started adding pictures under the heading Adventures of Wol.  Wol is a ceramic owl that was given to me by Danielle when I left for university, when I travel I bring him with me as a reminder of home and I send her all the fun pictures I take with him.  Please note Wol is not a Hey Mom! trademark, I got the name from a Farley Mowat book "Owls in the Family". Furthermore, I will continue to try to weed through the first two years I blogged and upload any of the top ten lists.  I do realize that I promised that I would upload the posts from back in the day but instead I thought I would sum up the vast majority of them right here for you:

Once upon a time I was a snivelling 18 year-old, fresh out of the womb of high school.  Very quickly I learned that life is not fair and that the person I was, was not even close to the person I wanted to be.  Like a human transforming into a werewolf I grew snarly and hungry and stopped shaving my legs.  I went on a soul searching journey far far away and realized I AM NOT THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Now don't get me wrong, there are still days when I am whole-heartedly shovelling coal into the crazy train but at least now I can do up my own straight jacket.

That's is all.

Richard Cross 1960-2014

Loss can seem unfair in so many ways.  It feels unfair when it seems too soon.  It feels unfair that some pass old and grey while others seem to live within the span of mere moments.  To me, the most unfair aspect of loss is that nothing stops.  Tomorrow will still come, the phone will still ring.  People will continue working and tweeting and texting as if all is well in the world.  The world should stop, everyone should stop. Why don't they stop? Richard Cross had an impact on the people that he met.  Richard Cross was a husband, a father, a brother, a friend.  Richard Cross was significant, and saw the significance of the people he interacted with. So why? Why during this time of loss is there still work and traffic and classes? How can the internet machine continue to churn out meaningless posts while we are faced with the daunting task of mixing joy and sorrow?  While we celebrate the life of Richard Cross and we accept the fact that our world is a little paler.  Why don&#

12 Kilometres of Consequences

Hey Mom! Once again, I have been humbled by reality and general principles of physics. I want to start by saying that at no point in time should you feel sorry for me during this story. I did this to myself. I was doing a fair bit of running at the beginning of COVID but then I got sad and busy and also sad so I stopped. Since June 2020 I have run exactly TWO times. ALSO (because you really should not have even an ounce of pity for me) it is important to note that I have never been a long distance runner... ever. Onward! I decided to participate in an ultra marathon relay (ie. I ran part of a race that some people can run all by themselves… good for them). In the beginning, I had every intention of taking this seriously. I was going to go for runs and workout and drink water. What I did do was exactly none of those things. Instead I rolled up on race day wearing my housecoat with a backpack full of snacks. I drank 200mL of water and went on my way. Just a fool in a housecoat tempting f

Irreversibly Redeemed

Hey Mom! Wanna hear something cool and mildly disgusting? Of course you do... that's why you're here.  I have two zits that are symmetrically located on either side of my nose... pretty awesome eh?  These gemini zits are brought to you by your local final exams.  That's right folks just 3 back to back exams and I am home free! You may have noticed that this weekend is Easter.  There are so many things I love about Easter: time with family, a long weekend and the knowledge that the last few new years resolution survivors are being crushed under the temptation of creme eggs and chocolate bunnies so all the Facebook statuses about them being better than the rest of us is going to finally come to an end. There is one thing about Easter that I do have a bit of a struggle with... the fact that someone else had to die for me. It's not because it doesn't paint the perfect picture of love... it does.   It's not because I don't believe it happened... I do
