The Dumbest Thing I Ever Said

May 5, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Vintage personal computers sitting on a desk at a museum

Perhaps the dumbest thing I ever said, and there have been many (even after discounting the plethora made with the intent of impressing females), slipped from my lips during the fall of 1990. It went something like this, “I don’t care what I do, just as long as I’m not stuck in front of a […]

My Life Is A Song #107

I didn’t truly understand that teachers are real people until I had school-aged children of my own.  During my entire youth, teachers weren’t so much people as they were a spectrum of Sapiens-like humanoids crafted specifically for employ in the educational field.  It rarely, if ever, dawned on me that they were regular people just […]

My Life Is A Song #103

Memory is perplexing, and unfair.  I can’t remember the funniest thing my kids did just last week but I can recall countless inane moments from thirty years ago in vivid detail.  I’d much rather have gloriously detailed memories of my children’s lives than the pointless goings-on of a grade five geography class back in 1983, […]

Canada has produced some fantastic rock bands over the years that remain truly, and soulfully, Canadian.  Bands that have made legendary careers almost exclusively in Canada while remaining utterly unknown to the world at large.  You’re probably thinking The Tragically Hip, but I’m talking a step deeper than that, a little more niche. This is […]

My Life Is A Song #8

  Every generation has its quintessential bands.  Those handful of bands whose time in the limelight so perfectly corresponds with a generation’s high school or college years that you feel like you owned that band. For those of us making our way through high school in the latter half of the 80s, The Cult was […]
