My hot new coworker resembles my former girlfriend, however there’s something diabolical in her piercing eyes that will unravel the fabric of reality. Season 1, Episode 22 I used to listen to Coast To Coast Am with Art Bell, do you remember that radio show?It was about Alien abductions, mythical creatures, time travellers and shadowy governments. In a nutshell it was a conspiracy show.People called in and spoke freely about strange lights in the skies. Art listened without passing judgment.Some guy claimed he was a time traveller from the future, someone else claimed to see the inside of an alien ship. I was glued to the radio, not wanting to miss a word. For the record I don’t believe in conspiracy theories but I find them fascinating, but I do believe the governments of the world is held to a code of secrecy.To Support The Show If you enjoy this podcast please tell a friend, word of mouth is very effective.Most podcast are discovered this way.

Calvin Cappelo is an average white collar office worker. He’s tired of being average. He started listening to a self help book to regain his confidence until things got ugly. Season 1, Episode 20 I have read a few self help books and tried to implement the principles the best I could.Some things worked. I repeated positive mantras and saw situations from a different perspective. Some things didn’t work for they conflicted with my spiritual views by promising me godlike powers. It’s tempting to listen to someone that will guide you in the ways of the force and say, ‘do or do not, there is no try.’I notice that some help books conflict with each-other leaving the reader scratching their heads. All they’re looking for is a straight path to enlightenment not many arrows pointing in different directions.

The council of man is deciding to revoke my male membership because I missed the Super Bowl for the umpteenth time. Season 1, Episode 18 Male culture consists of eating nachos, drinking beer and crushing the can on their forehead. They exchange war stories, show off their scars and tattoos, talk about babes and booze and their 8 litre engine.I don’t have a good reason to miss the game and whatever excuse I make would sound lame. All I know it was some team called the 49ers and the Chiefs and there star player, Oh what’s his face? Never been the macho type, my fist are not known to get into fights, even a paper-cut has me shivering, and I’m not into pissing competitions.It’s too bad the male species is reduced to a stereotype, less Shakespeare and more Al Bundy,less Davinci, more Homer Simpson. We’re expected to live in a tightly confined border where the Male flag is firmly planted, where emotional expression is a single note and tears is a symbol of weakness. Women don’t have to put up with this crap, there not expected to swallow their fears and wrestle a gorilla, or care for a sports team because everyone is watching. Men can learn a thing or two, but unfortunately are heads are stuck in the bowl.

The tenant kept on kicking and punching the walls keeping the Landlord up through the night. He didn’t pay rent, he ate free food and packed on the weight. Something had to be done but this decision will change their lives forever. Season 1, Episode 17 I enjoy writing strange, beautiful, awkward characters and placing them in a mirror universe.A mirror universe looks, feels and functions like ours. The laws of Physics seems identical, but when you look closer you will notice the differences. Some differences are drastic, while most appear trivial and innocuous.It’s within the latter where the magic takes place.Eviction Notice deals with a life and death issue.It’s designed to be listened to by yourself with your headphones. If I divulge the details of the story before you press play it would shatter the mirror universe leaving it null and void.

Do you feel sometimes you’re on a hamster wheel, you keep on running but not going anywhere, and history like sitcoms tends to repeat? Season 1, Episode 16 Crazy man Dion is your stereotypical late night DJ. His task is to pump you up over the radio, give out prizes and play the music. In every major city around the world exist a DJ of this calibre, even in my low key nondescript Canadian city. They tend to say the same things and play the same music. I wonder if some of them are pressured by their station manager to adopt a facade. Dion Carlson changed his name to Crazy man Dion. He changed his personality and his worldview. Dion’s life was controlled by millions of invisible strings. The idea of free will was only an illusion. Control and self-determination was a myth.

What is Time, what are its facets, and how is it calculated? Season 1, Episode 14 Time Capsule Crayon drawings of stick figures, arts and craft designs along with our signatures. Outline of our hand prints, a cassette tape thrown in with our favourite music.Autumn sun perched in the clouds.Teacher adjusted his Polaroid as we assembled. This moment will be captured and dated.I may never see their faces again since time has a tendency of moving forward. Minutes will turn into days, and days into decades. Everything will be fade. Our Childhood crushes and acne, talent shows and bullies, including our awkward teacher holding the camera. He snapped the photo gathered our stick figures, hand prints and signatures, placed the cassette tape on-top of a Time magazine.Enveloped the photo and wrote the year in the centre. Our teacher said something about the future generations as he cradled our Future relics, placed them in a box, cut out a portion of the school portable and covered it with wood. No one wants to be forgotten, we crave immortality. Everyday we build our time capsules to leave our evidence behind, rather books or work of art, or the children we bear.My stick figures, hand print and signature will live on, in a capsule long after I’m gone.

Cody’s homeland is ravished by a faceless silent intruder, who moves in slow motion. The death toll rises almost undetected, unreported until now. Season 1, Episode 13 Life Flashes is written by Don Newton please visit his Website and check out his novels in Amazon When I was about ten years old I almost died. I pedaled my bicycle to the top of a busy street and then I gunned it down. Most people would take their time, use caution and process the ramifications, but remember I was ten. Thinking ahead and utilizing risk analysis was a foreign concept. The traffic light turned red. My bicycle was moving at light speed. The cars started to move. I hit the brakes but it was too late. When they say, ‘Life Flashes before your eyes’ they are right. All of my past memories flooded to the surface. Each thought was sharp, distinct. I knew this was the end, no redo or second chances. I screamed but then I accepted it.I barrelled half way through the intersection narrowly missing the vehicles, jumped the curb and crashed into a street lamp. My bike wrapped around the pole, thankfully I survived without a scar.

Trevor, a nondescript YouTube geek, struggles at the bottom of the ratings. He received an Amazon package from the other side of the universe that changed his life forever. Season 1, Episode 12 This episode is dedicated to Elvis, not that Elvis, but to my big brother. He’s into Drones, and other radio controlled vehicles. His channel, Toronto RC, is the best RC channel on YouTube. I’m not saying that because he’s my brother or probably I am. The Ultimate Unboxing video is a modern day tale of how far a person can go to achieve fame.Many of us are not satisfied with our carrier or current life status, we long for a promotion, for the office window seat, to be recognized as an influencer in our field. Social media has made it possible to turn a nobody into a living icon with one viral video.If your lucky your blog post, tweet or rant could be picked up by a major network making you into an overnight sensation.But you have better chances of being struck by lightning or winning the lotto max, non the less people kill themselves for the price of fame. Why do we do this?I think the answer is immortality.We want to leave our mark and not a footnote. We want our star to continue to shine long after we’re gone.

Eric Raven, are intrepid astronaut who embarked on a one way mission to Mars comes face to face with his doppelganger 400 years into the future. Season 1, Episode 11 Dark Samaritan, the writer of the Quickening series has outdone himself by adding more complexities and intrigue into the current episode.I enjoy when a writer takes a familiar theme such as time travel, and morphs it into a different direction. Dark Samaritan is also good at placing ordinary characters into extraordinary situations.

I had an argument with someone about the concept of time, things got heated this episode is inspired by that altercation. Season 1, Episode 10 Brief History Arrow of time, or times arrow is the idea that time is linear. British astronomer Arthur Eddington developed the concept in 1927.The arrow of time remains an unresolved General physics question. The analogy of an arrow is clear and unambiguous in our collective conscience, most of us know what a physical arrow looks like. We have seen it in Lord of the Rings or Hunger Games, how can anyone forget Jennifer Lawrence and her archery techniques. An arrow releases from the bow, slices through the air until it strikes the mark.In Eddington’s mind time is fixed, a beginning and end. Stephen Hawking’s book,  Brief History Of Time, he devotes a whole chapter to the arrow of time. I highly recommend this book to you even if your not a science nerd like myself.Hawkins describes the big bang, (no not the TV show, stay focused) and also the big crunch as an arrow from start to finish.However when the arrow, meaning time, meets the end it changes directions and goes backwards.If your an 80’s baby like myself your teacher played movies from a film projector, when the film was over everyone asked her to play it backwards. We got a kick out of seeing a broken plate reassemble and placed back on the kitchen table. People walking backwards, cars driving backwards and people talking backwards. The backwards movie was way more interesting. Hawking said that time may reverse, picture Benjamin Button. The movie starts with Benjamin as an old man, as it progresses he gets younger and younger. (Warning, spoiler ahead) At the end of the movie he’s reduced to a baby. I don’t think the arrow of time can be reversed, but I’m a poet not a scientist keep this in mind when you listen to this episode.Each story is very personal to me and also therapeutic. My prayer is that it will help you slow down and ponder the fleeting nature of life.Part 2 will arrive sometime in the near future.

If you enjoyed the last episode your going to hate this one. We get down and dirty and talk about politics. Make sure you have your over mittens ready and hit play. Season 1, Episode 9 Part 1 White Guilt Why should my white brothers and sisters pay for the sins of their ancestors. Slavery is an ugly stain on the American conscious, the idea of owning a human being sounds ridiculous in are modern times. Thankfully America has turned away from its once standard practice. Progression has been made, though not perfect, it’s come a long way from the cotton fields. Reparations will not heal the sins of the past, listen and find out why. Part 2 4th of July Politics could be divisive, separating people into blue and red states. I have never seen a time when tension is so high, each party wants to prove the other party wrong. What happens when political affiliations comes between a marriage, stay tuned to find out. Part 3 Donald Trump and the Purpose of the Universe This part may get me into hot water, even though I’m Canadian and not allowed to vote in the States. Trump has made some awful decisions, but to demonize him and blame him for all the mess in the world is faulty logic. Have an open mind and listen before you throw stones. Part 4 First World Problems I live in Canada, the most peaceful country on Earth. We got it good here except for the crappy weather. It’s our civic duty to vote to make sure the right person is in power. However I was not going to vote until I met a Somalian Uber driver, listen and find out.

You never know where temptation will strike Season 1, episode 7 I shuffled to my usual seat like a well trained army vet. I looked through the bus window, avoiding eye contact took off my backpack and cleared my mind from distractions. She took out a compact mirror and a small device to manipulate her eyelashes, and a rose coloured lipstick that smelt like cinnamon. But I wasn’t looking. My mind is a razor sharp instrument, free from low v neck dresses and well curved assets, free from long toned legs and high heeled shoes. Unlike the typical Male specimen, salivating as their eyes burst from their sockets to get a better look at this cosmic goddess. But I wasn’t looking. I was comforted by my wife’s beauty, her home cooked meals and her magnetic personality, her charm and grace and the home that we made. Besides this girl is half my age, with her silky smooth skin and her twin peaks of glory, with her legs slightly crossed displaying her ankle bracelet and each toe painted in burning Sapphire. But I kept my composure, even though she tossed her hair over her shoulder, requested the next stop and stood tall like Gal Gadot, But I wasn’t looking.

A man is chosen to take a one way trip to Mars, his ship spirals out of control and returns to Earth 400 years later. Season 1, Episode 4 Written by Dark Samaritan, please visit him on Twitter @SamaritanDark I’m a fan of time travelling adventures from Back to the future, Dr Who and the Umbrella Academy. The idea of moving backwards or forward on the timeline has intrigued many writers and scientist. Also, it has inspired conspiracy theorist who claim alien encounters are actually human time travellers. With are current rate of technology I could envision some form of time travel, but that would cost billions of dollars and take a lifetime to develop. Maybe if were fortunate we can detect a wormhole in space and use it as are universal time machine. This idea may sound crazy to you, but so was the airplane, telephone and personal computers.
