He's slick to the touch, pleasing to the eye He won't give up much, because its the smile that lets him slide by A charismatic soul, a joker and a fool He'll have you with his words, and leave you but that's cool Superficial and vain, these...
The introduction to rule changes by the league to cut down on fighting have created a new wave of behaviours from the players, which necessitated a new wave of changes to the rules. We saw in the NHL in the 80's hockey that was 'Rock'em Sock'em"...
The weeping willow's branches sway For a reason, one cannot say Impalpable, unnoticed, unknown The tension in the air has grown I like to think it's Zeus in his fury His tepid temper, his far reaching jealousy For this he cracks his...
The truth is a disease to the guilty, the provider of freedom to the innocent A brief jostling of the mind brings about the need for the Overseer of Truth He's come to me, a ha....come for me a number of times... already in my short stay ...
I was an oak, a tree in the wood Solid and singular, rooted I stood No wind, nor rain nor thunderous night could move me from my place of right. A lesser tree or bush, moves, bends, and bows to the strength of natures might, I was so...
Evolving from Within, where does that begin?

Etched into my soul Wretched and weary The details of that night, make me weak, make me teary We were but children, aged neigh twenty-one The night the dark knight had decided to come He snorted and scowled, and pointed his bony finger ...
We talked, for hours, forever She was my Aphrodite, my mini deity Sparkling eyes and silver tipped tongue It was when I met her my life of lust had begun The days passed, but time stood still This greek...

Of wind and rain, my soul is made Of hearty sand and salt The wind has often carried many pieces of my heart For softly, myself, I have confessed To the breezes across my inlet My ocean, she has my every secret kept I feared not...
The life of a single entity, as I see it, is fairly simple and non-challenging. I know that sounds a bit dismissive of all the complications one endures, plans, sets up, lives through. I can say this now as a coupled person. I could not have said it...
Quiet, still, dark, and real Hushed, silenced, pushed and pulled Emotions quiver with unanticipated motion Knowing less than ever before Where's it going? Where's it end? It's inevitable that we start again Always in motion,...
Athletic, bright, youthful and free This is how I used to be. As free as the river flowing down this cliff face I have aged and cannot keep up this pace Unlike this waterfall as beautiful and as thunderous as the day it...
What does one learn when putting self into a Hub? As I watch my stats .. daily... I am frought with the sense that I can be competitive in this realm as any other. I took on writing hubs for the shear enjoyment of sharing thoughts and ideas and...
Eyes not even opened yet She has grown from within No one sought to teach her, to show her how to begin My daughter, strong and silent, knew just where to go Her motions planned and focused, her instinct already kicked in She knew...
The news was miraculous, a new time in my life, one I awaited for so long. I dreamt a dream one dreary day, it brought me to my knees It was of my life with my family, a brood of two or three. I smiled at them all, kids and wife in...
The sky is dark... the night is quiet.... rain falls like uncertain thoughts. Lightening thrashing... thunder crashing.... emotions melt away like art. The air is breezing... lightly teasing... as rain falls like uncertain thoughts. The sun...
The thoughts in her mind slip and slide like his mechanic hands through grease She's done it again, managed to survive the day without too much pain He floats through his day, fixed a transmission and a caburator without too much delay She's...
Time dwindles in the flame The fire burns and hides the shame The needle enters into the vein The sting... it comes quick All your thoughts intermingle, becoming thick It's a fog that stays for a while It makes you forget things.... that...
Little did I know I would have lasted 10 yrs in a field where most burn out within 3 to 5. I look back now on this article and feel as though a lifetime has passed. I am now in a position whereby I am the one who has been the change. I have since...
He comes to me with a plea He wants to be no burden on anybody He tells me his plan It does not involve any other man It's his plan He's seen many people and fights off the demons ...
Sabotage, an easy concept to understand. Simply put sabotage means to demolish on purpose. Now the reasons and motivations behind it, they are complex. It's an easy way out, like swinging at a bad pitch at the end of the game to take the pressure...
So, we're 30 games in and have a total of 30 points. Not exactly the year of the Habs is it? But... don't lose heart. We've seen worse and better and we can live with both. But living with the results of our famed and framed Habs isn't what we want....
It's bloody early in the morning. Another dawn another day of rain -emotional drain. I've been here a little while now watching and writing when I get the chance, but, am I doing anything? I continually read and decipher other people's thoughts and...
As a fellow Hab-maniac, I understand the feeling of being let down by Bob. However, do you really think the ownership did not have a hand in this off-season? I fear we are hard on Bob, like the Quebec media is hard on all of the Habs leaders on...
We go to Chapters basically every couple of months. I stock up on my police crime dramas and she, my wife, ventures into the ether-world of Jane Eyre-esque (sour women / solemn but romantic men). We lived this for about 5 yrs when a friend of hers...
Intangible Illusive as my thoughts, Fleeting as a moment, She winds up in my dreams, Where she is safe and secure Away from my fears, unable to fall She's quiet and shy, I sometimes wonder why, She's always as bright as the stars in the sky ...
Controlled Alone and silenced, is that how they feel? Almost, as if their life is not real? Decisions about them already made, The plans for their life already laid Jumping from one place to another, Not really knowing a father or a mother,...
Why one writes is as individualistic as why one thinks.. or even how one thinks. Writing for me was an outlet. It cleared my head of all the little thoughts/ideas/dreams/wishes/memories/daydreams/nightmares. I journaled from 8 yrs old til I was...
I've been reading now for about a week. Reading all kinds of topics and issues and thoughts,dreams,opinions (informed and uninformed), worries, and concerns. They are all out there for me to pick through, read, comment upon, decide if its worth a...
The title choice may be a bit off-putting. I admit. But it isn't what people may think. I won't give details from my own personal story, I don't think it brings objectivity to the topic. But lets just say I am a believer in monogomy. ...
Is the question about who people are, or about the fact that their identity isn't one you know? The question suggests an unwilling acceptance of the fact that others choose to show one side of themselves. The word usage "hide behind a name without...
I work with young people. Its a privilege and an honour and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I wished there were more teachers that felt this way. I dont know that they don't and I want to apologize if I offend, that's not my intention....
In response to a fellow hubber regarding tv versus personal development : In some people's minds the realities are that we live busy lives that are demanding on so many levels. My philosophy is a little different. Growing personally takes...
So Jacques Martin is now the head honcho in La Belle Province! This guy has a great record in the regular season, and has coached some of the better players in the league over his tenure in Ottawa. I don't think...
