Ten things I’ve learned from playing an evil doctor in a feminist performance cabaret
Note: in university, I ended up playing a role as a doctor that turns young girls into metallic pop starlets in a show called “Mz. Kitty, Teenage Dominatrix” in Vancouver. The show also helped launch Stink Mitt and featured rapper Kia Kadiri. Nudity is only weird if the context is weird. Changing backstage with a bunch…

Ten things I’ve learned from the missteps of Susan G. Komen For The Cure
A health organization that partners with a fast food chain has its priorities out of whack. In the case of Susan G. Komen For The Cure, a choice like that can lead to very poor optics in the media. A non-profit executive’s salary should be at least somewhat commensurate to a similar position in the…
Ten things I’ve learned from DJing
Note: I am not a DJ, but I do produce a weekly comedy show in Toronto (pimping my show now: www.openingnighttheatre.com). Anyway, this past Saturday we decided to throw a dance party after the show, and to save money, I DJ’d for much of the night (with a proper DJ who happened to be in town…

Ten things I’ve learned from slaps to the face
When you slap an ass, your chance of getting slapped in the face goes up exponentially. Don’t slap the face of a friend who was in a recent bike accident. They won’t find it funny. Somehow, pimps slapping women in the face has become a joke. I blame Katt Williams and Rudy Ray Moore, mostly.…
Ten things I’ve learned from lying in bed with someone
You have to be careful…you can lose a limb to pins and needles before you know it. Tummies are excellent drums. Between wrestling, sex, massages, and stretching, you can burn a lot of calories on a lazy Saturday morning without leaving your bed. Why do I always end up asking what time it is when…

The holidays are here
Well, it’s the holiday times, and for those who read this irregularly, I haven’t been posting much. I’m honestly finding the 10 things format pretty confining, so I think I might go a bit more freeform for a while, just to see how it goes. Well, it’s my blog, so I can do what I…
Friday HuffPost Edition – Ten things I’ve learned from Christopher Hitchens
Noted writer and essayist Christopher Hitchens just died after battling with throat cancer. Here are ten things I’ve learned from him: 1. Anybody who is willing to be waterboarded to test his own beliefs, and then able to change his beliefs afterwards, is to be respected. 2. Atheism is a real hot-button issue, so if you are going to…
