P-chan's messy head
You can disappear now.
My name is John Hades. If you’re not familiar with Greek mythology, you might be mispronouncing my name, or not, but technically, yes. The name has always brought along some sort of post-apocalyptic vibe to my life. Every time I hear someone say my name, it’s like the end is near, and I’m responsible for Read More …
I can’t help but think of some friends out there that are lonely. Happy, exciting pictures don’t actually say anything, especially if it’s in a selfie-style. That used to be a thing in 2003. I remember that well. It started with MySpace and all, but then the ten- to fourteen-year-olds began taking it over. And Read More …
Why am I me with this conscience that doesn’t want to be? Read More …
When I woke up this morning, the sky was grey. First, it was eerie, as if waking up from a weird dream, which you don’t remember. The sky evoked a past sentiment that I was trying to associate with something. I was glad I woke up early (before 7 a.m.) because I’d set the alarm Read More …
This year’s first Mercury retrograde has been one of the most challenging ones. Exchanged words resulted in misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Delayed responses either fell on deaf ears or failed to show on the screen because the battery was almost dead. And cell phones didn’t like the cold. Then your dentist’s assistant cancels your appointment by Read More …
When you say, “It’s happening,” it means a lot of things–exciting things! It usually starts with a decision and then execution. Make sure to do all that before retrograde next week. Of course, making decisions isn’t easy if too many things are involved, such as financial or occupational sacrifices, etc. But by all means, you Read More …
It’s coming. I’ve been talking about this for years to a point where people began to roll their eyes. But it’s for real this time! This novel emerged from a short story that I wrote in 2006: An American female doctor ponders about breaking her patient’s nose just to add some colour to his face. That Read More …
Do you remember my blog post from January last year called ‘Three Years’? I was going back in time, and only now do I realise that it’s time to move forward and think ahead. I want to work towards something good, whatever it will be three years from now. Calgary has served me well for the Read More …
My former primary school used to be just one block down the road from where we lived. It took less than five minutes to walk there, but my mum would drive me those two minutes for some reason. Rarely would she walk me there. Classes were usually from 07:30 until 12:30 or 13:30, with lots Read More …
Before January 1, 2017, hit me, I was drunk on Vodka and had puked a couple of times before the New Year’s kiss. I was at a place I didn’t want to be. I think I’d spent three NYEs at Cowboys fucking Casino in Calgary. New Year’s Eve used to be a big deal for Read More …
