    Last Days at the Eco Lodge

    Owen

    Last night my housemates and I began to pack up our belongings as we prepare to move out of the Eco Lodge. Our lease expires on October 31st.

    In many ways it's kind of surreal to be leaving. After four months, I've grown used to this place, and I imagine Arthur and Mega...

    It's funny how the people we've loved can continue to influence us, long after they're gone from our lives.

    I've talked before about how when we went grocery shopping, my partner and I would each take a basket and meet up at the cash registers when we'd picked out what...

     Trigger warning: Talk about suicide. 

    A year ago I was sitting in the departure lounge at the airport in Halifax, about to board an eight-hour flight across the country to my home in Vancouver, when my partner of nearly four years sent me a text.

    It was brief, and vague...

    I grew up on rap music.


    I spent my formative years in something of a golden era in hip hop. We'd just missed Biggie and Pac, but "Hypnotize" and "California Love" still saw heavy play. Jay-Z put out Hard Knock Life, Puffy had No Way Out, and Detroit's own Marshall Math...

    In which I do not sleep with twenty women in 193 days.

    "The best way to get over one woman is to get under another," said the barber who was cutting my hair.

    (My partner had been a hair stylist; she'd cut my hair exclusively for more than five years. Finding a barber was...

    This is going to be a pretty frank appraisal of my ideas of masculinity and how they relate to my ideas of self. 

    I downloaded Tinder fairly quickly after my partner and I broke up.

    When I was in my twenties, I had this number of women I wanted to sleep with before I tur...

    #OwenCooks: Healthy "Butter" Chicken

    Owen

    Part of #ProjectNomad has been a commitment to healthy eating, so from time to time I'll share my experiences in the kitchen. I'm no culinary genius, but I try to make everything at least edible. 

    One of the things that I know I could have done better in my last relatio...

    Don't Look Back In Anger

    April 16, 2018

    Owen

    One of my big resolutions for 2018 has been to release myself from the anger and hurt I'd been storing inside since my relationship ended in August.

    I spent a lot of time feeling angry in the months following the breakup.

    I was angry that my relationship had ended so abr...
