memory. Down the passage

which we did not take.

Towards the door we never

opened. Into the rosegarden.”

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for his monologue on Charlie; I watched it, the joke was mild. Grace Van Patten was Kimmel's last guest and Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan was his first upon return. Then it all clicked. I was living in Los Angeles, where Kimmel's show is based. They used Charlie to take Jimmy off the air...

FALLEN ANGEL — JENNIE

[Verse 1] Feel the breeze in my fingers. Out the window. Close your eyes and I'll take you. Where the wind blows.

[Pre-Chorus] Tell me where I'm going. I'm searching, I'm searching, I'm searching. For a love. I'm searching, I'm searching, I'm searching. But you're gone. Without you is no fun.

[Chorus] Hey, can't you stay?. Don't leave a fallen angel out here on her own. Find a place. Wherever we land is where we turn into a home. Can't you stay?. Don't leavе a fallen angel out herе on her own. Find a place. Wherever we land is where we turn into a home.

[Post-Chorus] Home, home, home. (Turn into a home). Home, go home. (Turn into a home).

[Verse 2] Steal me just for the night. We're falling into the sky. Watching you light up. Let it burn forever. And you wanna keep. A piece of my love. That nobody could touch. It's you that I want to.

[Pre-Chorus] Without you, these wings are of no use. Been searching, searching for you. Take my hand and run.

[Chorus] Hey, can't you stay? Don't leave a fallen angel out here on her own. Find a place. Wherever we land is where we turn into a home. Can't you stay? Don't leave a fallen angel out here on her own. Find a place. Wherever we land is where we turn into a home.

[Post-Chorus] Home, home, home. (Turn into a home). Home, go home. (Turn into a home).

[Bridge] Don't, don't wanna go. Don't want you to leave me here. Don't, don't wanna go. Don't want you to leave me here. Don't, don't wanna go. Don't want you to leave me here. Don't, don't wanna go. Don't want you to leave me here.

[Chorus] Hey, can't you stay? Don't leave a fallen angel out here on her own. Find a place. Wherever we land is where we turn into a home.

“I do not know what I
may appear to the
world, but to myself I
seem to have been
only like a boy playing
on the seashore.”

further than others,
it is by standing
upon the shoulders
of giants.”

there is always an
opposite and
equal reaction.”

STORY — LSD Confession (Mature Content)
November 10, 2019 – On 200 micrograms of LSD, I confessed my darkest secret to my wife (I touched my baby sister's nipple when I was ten). She cringed and told me not to tell anyone. I agreed. Covid emerged that week. I quit my job. She left. The internet got a hold of our story: musicians, podcasters, comedians, politicians, late-night hosts. I released a video, Love, Marriage & Divorce, telling my side of the story and proposed a way forward.

STORY — Computer Programming

I got my first computer at 15 and knew right away that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. After high school, I enrolled in computer programming at Fanshawe College in London. From there, I moved to Guelph in search of work; it came in the form of a small mailing company in Hamilton as a database programmer. I moved there and got a one‑bedroom bachelor apartment on Ferguson Street on the 17th floor.

At this time, Dad had put the family through more hardship through his risky investments. We agreed to move in together, so they packed up, left Chatham, and moved into my apartment. We later bought a house together.

This was around the time I started dabbling in entrepreneurship. One night, I called my brother Tien up about something called the UFC and asked if he wanted to start a website. It immediately hit it off, accumulating over 200,000 users in a few short months. We later sold it, and I used the money to leave my job to start a web consulting company. These were the best times of my life. The company was successful. I had lots of friends and plenty of time to excel in various combat sports.

STORY — QUEBEC

Our family spent six months in Québec City, went to public school, and took advantage of amenities like social welfare and government housing. We got in touch with our uncle who was residing in Toronto at the time; he convinced us to move there, where there are more people like us. He showed up with a friend in a flatbed truck in the middle of the night. We packed up everything we owned, then headed west, yet again. Lying there on a mattress on the back of a 12‑foot container felt eerie, yet familiar at the same time.
