My Academic Masterplan

April 29th, 2009

“Life on the other hand won’t let you understand Why we’re all part of the masterplan…” I’ve had this itch in the back of my mind for the last few years, and it’s remarkable how it’s all come forward in the last 4 months. It’s weird how things have a way of always working out, [...]

Late last year during one one of the final fishing trips of the season, I felt heartbreak like I’ve never before experienced. The fishing was terrible that weekend for everyone on Nipissing but me.
