Let’s Call Bullshit! Mental Health Support for Canadian Youth
December 31st, 2012 by Joshua Murrayvia callbs.ca: Despite more than 1 in 5 youth needing mental health services, less than 25% actually receive them. Instead, many suffer in silence due to the shame, stigma and lack of care that exists. What’s more, suicide is the second leading cause of death for young Canadians, and most who die have a mental […]
I Don’t Care Who You Are: If You Can Play, You Can Play!
May 9th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayNote: Originally posted at photojunkie.ca This has been a hard post to write. Hell, it’s been a hard post to think about writing. And it’s because I’m scared. Scared that I’m not going to get it right or capture my thoughts with the right words or really convey what I’m thinking or how I’m feeling. […]
Still A Country Boy In The City
February 12th, 2012 by Joshua MurrayI grew up a country boy. Some times I say small town boy, and that’s partly true as I went to school in town from grade 5 through high school. And I lived in town for a couple years. But the truth of the story is that I lived in the country from 1982 to […]
Dear Mr. President (January 20, 2009)
September 27th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayA little while ago I was facebook stalking myself and I came across my ‘notes’. There wasn’t much substance there at all. But I did find one piece that I wrote in January 2009, on the day that President Obama was sworn in. I still like the piece, not because of the words I wrote […]

9/11 Remembered – Still Speechless
September 11th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayI write a lot. And I talk a lot. Generally I am not left without something to say. But today I find myself left without words that I feel can convey how I feel or show the proper respect due to the people directly effected by the attacks carried out in New York, Virginia and […]
Election 2011 – Rock The Vote – Create Change – Be Heard!
May 1st, 2011 by Joshua MurrayGood morning kids. I apologize that I didn’t write this piece a month ago. But I suppose that today is better than not writing it at all. There has been a prevalent attitude to what some would call apathy towards this election. Especially among young Canadian voters. However, I don’t see it as apathy at […]
Help Make A Difference This Summer, Please!
April 17th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayHello boys and girls – I know that we are just now starting to embrace Spring and celebrate the fact that we are out of the cold and into the green and warm and happy. But the thing is, we can’t be in Spring forever, Summer will follow shortly. And this Summer I want to […]
Non-Secrets About Me!
March 29th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayThere have been a lot of tweets popping up these days with people telling secrets about themselves. But let’s be honest – the chances that these little tidbits are actually secrets are pretty slim. With that in mind I won’t be sharing any secrets today – not because I don’t have any – I do […]
My Love on International Women’s Day
March 8th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayHappy International Women’s Day! I know as a dude I will probably miss the point to a lot of things that are being celebrated and pushed for today – but I wanted to take the opportunity to say my thank yous and give high fives. There are some pretty friggin’ awesome women in the world […]

My Professional Goals, Wishes and Dreams
February 28th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayLast night I tweeted that my biggest professional wish was to have Bill Simmons read one of my posts at fanshots.com. That would be amazing. I won’t lie. I look up to that guy big time. That thought got me thinking even more though. So much that I *almost* stayed up to write this post. […]
Dear Commenter…
February 25th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayToday is a landmark day for me as a blogger. I’ve received my very first derogatory/ inflammatory/ uncalled for/ slur comment on the blog. I have no idea what brought it on. I have no idea who the commenter is (other than having his Twitter handle, blog address and Facebook profile) and am still wondering […]
Thanks to You & New Things Coming Soon!
February 22nd, 2011 by Joshua MurrayHere it is, my first post as a 29 year old blogger. Another year older, more experienced and perhaps greyer. It’s also the first post where I come right out and tell you that I’m for hire and will be launching some pretty rad things in the next little while. First though, and most importantly […]
Observations While Crutching in Toronto
February 17th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayI’ve only been on crutches for about 24 hours and already I’m encouraged by the way that the people of Toronto have reacted. You guys have been awesome. When I first got the sticks from Norman I hopped on the streetcar to head to the office and it didn’t take long at all to see that […]
