Since I was about fifteen years old, I knew something was different. Not in the way all fifteen year olds feel different, but in a way that made me feel inhuman. I would do anything I could to make people like me. I felt any possible slight so strongly, it crippled me. [...]

Fashion??
February 22nd, 2010 5 Comments
I don’t profess to know a lot about fashion, but when I stumbled upon the image above at Stil in Berlin of four models from London Fashion Week in supposedly fashionable garb, I laughed out loud.
Here is what I thought immediately: detective, pirate, porter, old gypsy woman (from left to right). The two most “wearable” [...]
Future of the Gordcast
January 13th, 2010 1 Comment
I’ve experimented with the podcast genre twice before: once in a context of musical exploration, the second a humorous look at pop culture with my friend Stephen Speer. A combination of boredom and other life commitments caused me to finish each “season” with about ten episodes.
I have been rethinking the show and I will be aiming [...]

The Seven Day Experiment
January 10th, 2010 7 Comments
I have blogged since before I knew what it was. Even before that I started keeping journals (something I do to this day). Somewhere between a great upheaval in my personal life in 2005 and advances in my career that sapped my time and energy, I lost the love of blogging, and even writing.
I have [...]

Movies, movies, and more movie
January 8th, 2010 No Comments
As you no doubt could guess, I love movies. Emphatically. So, in the interest of talking about movies without reviewing them (as I can’t seem to do that), here is a list of the 10 movies I anticipate the most in 2010:
Youth in Revolt (January 8)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief (February 12)

Looking for Change
December 15th, 2009 1 Comment
I think I need change. There is this building urge to see the world, to experience new sensations. I want a change of pace, a change of scenery, and a change of priorities. My life feels stagnant, like it’s slowly ebbing away all of my joie de vivre. I need new relationships with new people. I [...]

Changes

I “redesigned” gordonbonnar.com this morning. Oh, and by redesigned, I clicked on a different template and then spent an hour shifting things around. Coding is HARD, I think I’ll take a break.
While on said break, I’m going to really hunker down and decide what I want to do with this website and how to get [...]
YouTube Crazy
October 29th, 2009 No Comments
OK, so I’ve gone a little YouTube crazy and love making videos. So far it doesn’t even bother me that I really really suck at taking video and that I can’t seem to find any editing software that will run on my computer. It’s just fun and it’s a great outlet for [...]

The Sun Came Out
October 11th, 2009 No Comments
I had the honour and privelege of officiating my younger sister’s marriage this past Saturday, October 10, 2009. She married her highschool sweetheart Brad at our family homestead in the absolutely stunning Laurentian mountains on the Rouge River. The wedding took place on the farmland that has been in the Downing family for many generations [...]
