Friends | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/friends
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 18 January, 2015. So I’ve been thinking lately about friends and friendship. You see, I don’t make friends very well. I really don’t. I seem to have this inclination to be extremely contemptuous of a lot of things and people. I’m not really sure why or where it came from, but as I’ve grown older I feel I have less time for other people’s shit. So with that all in mind, I am deeply appreciative of the friends I have. I only g...

Regrets, v.3.0 | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/01/31/regrets-v-3-0
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 31 January, 2015. Regrets, v.3.0. Now, I last wrote on this topic back in March. But this one will be taking a different angle. See, in the last versions, I wrote about regrets I had over how various relationships had changed or ended or other dumb things I did in my (relative) youth. Or, more to the point, I lose nothing if I ask her on a date and she says ‘no.’. So why the hesitation? I don’t know. I think what I need to g...

Familial resemblances | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/01/03/familial-resemblances
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 3 January, 2015. Another post in my burgeoning tradition of nearly complete non sequiturs. Let’s get on with it! Now, this is by no means a shocking realization, but it always amazes me when I see it members of the same bloodline (i.e. family) tend to look somewhat similar. Or at least share similar traits. Before this last trip, I don’t know. Other parents’ siblings? Again, no idea. Grandparents? Of course, I have trouble s...

From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. Recent Updates Page 2. 1 January, 2016. My 2016 plans…. Also known as resolutions. I figure I should try to improve myself in different ways, and what better way to ensure *some* accountability than to post some resolutions here for the wild world to see. So here we go! Be more assertive when it comes to women. Get in better shape and lose weight. I have a prosumer-model camera, and now that I have a job that doesn’t r...

April | 2015 | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/04
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. Monthly Archives: April 2015. 1 April, 2015. Six months in Edmonton. To be completely truthful, I have not actually lived in Edmonton for a full six months yet, but when have I ever let facts get in the way of a good story? Actually, very rarely. That’s sort of what happens when you’re a journalist facts are kind of critical. So, with those thoughts in mind, it was getting to the point where I was looking for a change. Now, ...

Thoughts on a career so far | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/01/21/thoughts-on-a-career-so-far
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 21 January, 2015. Thoughts on a career so far. I tend to do a lot of thinking. And I also tend to go on occasional email inbox purges. This post the result of both of those. So more than three years ago, I got this email from a recent Carleton grad, who was getting in touch with me in hopes of soliciting some advice about getting her career jumpstarted. Back in the final months of fourth year in J-School, I was pretty much p...

Six months in Edmonton | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/six-months-in-edmonton
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 1 April, 2015. Six months in Edmonton. To be completely truthful, I have not actually lived in Edmonton for a full six months yet, but when have I ever let facts get in the way of a good story? Actually, very rarely. That’s sort of what happens when you’re a journalist facts are kind of critical. And I’d been there for nearly four years, so the job and the stories I was doing were getting stale. Now, it hasn’t been all...

Regrets, v.2.0 | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/regrets-v-2-0
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 10 March, 2010. Regrets, v.2.0. Because I forgot about a really big one. I knew there was another thing I did when I was younger that I regret. But I just couldn’t think of it when I rhymed off that list on Monday. Well, now I have remembered this one. And let me tell you, this one is a doozy. This is one that is a perfect example that what you say and do can have a greater impact on people than you think. You are commenting...

Graduation remembered | From YYZ to YEG
https://timkbryant.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/graduation-remembered
From YYZ to YEG. The tales of a displaced Muddy Yorker in the City of Champions. 10 June, 2011. As a way of commemorating the fact I graduated from Carleton University on this date in 2009, I have decided to re-post an essay I wrote on the plane back to Saskatchewan from Pearson International. I actually wrote this on June 12, 2009, but it came into existence after the rush of emotions I felt at graduating and potentially seeing some of the friends I made in J-School for the last time that day. We had a ...
