Don’t shoot, she’s my friend

Barry Jakel recently read my book and composed the following poem about it.

I’m not sure who I’m talking to …. but this I know is true, I know you’re armed and dangerous and before you do Anything outrageous I just wanted you to know My friend Elen has a story, … another book to show

She’s a big fan [...]

Searching for my missing Fluevog sole mate

ihath — Mon, 17 May 2010 18:20:07 +0000

It was a mystery to me for a long time. How could I be a shoe fanatic, live in Vancouver and not own a single pair of fluevog shoes? Fluevog is a local shoe designer that makes unique shoes for both men and women favoured by celebrities like Madonna. Fluevog shoes are creative and unique, they [...]

Story Telling: How I aquired my super powers

ihath — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:27:54 +0000

I have been involved in a story telling gig taking place at the New Bohemian.

Here is my first story telling attempt

At first it was a challenge for me to tell a story without reading it from a piece of paper. Once I got used to the idea of memorization I found it freeing.

Like you mean it

ihath — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:22:40 +0000

You say: I am sorry, I didn’t mean it. I was too busy at work. Distracted by daily concerns. Here are some flowers. A gift from the duty free shop.

Years go by: I am not as strong as a horse. I am not the rock of Gibraltar. Turns out, I am fragile like two bits of code cobbled together with a hockey API

So please in the future please please. Hurt [...]

The Purple Shoes

ihath — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:22:42 +0000

After that, I stopped looking for shoes or noticing them and stopped my frenzied visits to the mall. I satisfied myself with the idea that my orange dance shoes gave me a crazy thrill and my red street shoes gave me a small doze to help me get through the rest of the time when [...]

Blog Port

ihath — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 06:43:36 +0000

This blog is being ported from Blogger to WordPress. I have wanted to do this for a long time but kept procrastinating worried that it would be too much work. Then Blogger announced that they wouldn’t support ftp publishing anymore and so I had no choice but to take the plunge, since I want to maintain [...]

Iraqi Elections in Vancouver

I will gladly show my stretch marks to anybody. They don’t look pretty, but they symbolize an honoured passage into a magical kingdom that can only be entered the hard way.

As I write this I have a purple index finger. My finger looks like it has been tortured or perhaps suffocated by restricted blood circulation. [...]

Orange Shoes

ihath — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:18:00 +0000

It started innocently enough. I started dance classes and had to learn to dance in 2 inch heel shoes. As a long time flat shoe wearer, I asked myself a question: How can I dance in these shoes, when I feel wobbly walking in them? I compromised on a life time of sensibility and ardent [...]
