When I was 16 I bought my first car. It was a 1991 Dodge Shadow. It was maroon. On the outside and the inside. So much maroon. When I was 17 I got my G2 in November and started driving to school and work and to hang out with friends and it… was… awesome. However, […]

It’s About Vulnerability

January 18th, 2014 by Joshua Murray

There have been some great articles written and posted on the internet about the reasons that men don’t express emotion the same way that women do. The main point they all boil down to is that young boys are taught that they shouldn’t show emotion because it isn’t manly/masculine/appropriate/desirable/etc. And while I do not dispute […]

All I Want For Christmas Is…

December 15th, 2013 by Joshua Murray

Every year my mom asks me what I want for Christmas. And it seems like every year I have more and more trouble trying to answer the question. Yes, it’s true, I do want socks and underwear for Christmas. Maybe that’s what happens when you hit your 30s and have a penchant for grabbing the […]

Rob Ford: A Portrait

November 2nd, 2013 by Joshua Murray

This isn’t a Rob Ford defense piece. It also isn’t a Rob Ford persecution piece. This is my wondering how all of this came to be for Ford and the city of Toronto. All of the thoughts from here on out are my opinion. I am not a Rob Ford supporter. I did not vote […]

If Home Is Where The Heart Is…

August 14th, 2013 by Joshua Murray

If home is where the heart is then I’m either a broken or lucky man. You see, I’ve left a piece of my heart in every village, town and city that I’ve lived in since I was a kid. I have connections and family and friends in all of these places. I have memories and […]

Life Was Good With A Long Weekend Of Blue Jays Baseball!

May 28th, 2013 by Joshua Murray
