Daily Archives: July 27, 2015. July 27, 2015. Twenty years ago today, on Thursday, July 27, 1995, I did something (or at least my mother did) which by that point had become commonplace in our household: bought theatre tickets. The difference is that these tickets were for a musical called. And nothing was ever the same again. I wrote about my first time seeing. Not surprisingly, ten years ago today. When I noted how “nothing’s come close to rivaling the effect that seeing…. Mom: “Do you want to see.

Faith No More in Toronto | Stuff and Nonsense
https://snjohns.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/faith-no-more-in-toronto
August 8, 2015. Faith No More in Toronto. Here’s something I never thought I’d say: I saw Faith No More yesterday! More later. For now, here’s a setlist that’s entirely bolded because I’d never seen them before. Started From the Bottom [Drake]. Which isn’t my favourite. Track by any means–so learning it might’ve replaced “A Small Victory” in the set was a. Bad moment as Sam can attest). The Gentle Art of Making Enemies. I Started a Joke [The Bee Gees]. We Care a Lot. Smashing Pumpkins in Toronto. You are...

Author Archives: Stephen Johns. October 27, 2016. I didn’t technically wake up yesterday. My day. In São Paulo and finished (with me sound asleep) in Toronto. In the middle I was briefly in Colombia and, even more briefly, in Newark. On Broadway (with the original cast! On Monday, November 12, after saying goodbye to my parents and our dog Chieftain (RIP), I took the train to Newark airport and boarded a 9:20 flight to Toronto. So far absolutely nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. Occurring–a...

Smashing Pumpkins in Toronto | Stuff and Nonsense
https://snjohns.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/smashing-pumpkins-in-toronto-2
August 7, 2015. Smashing Pumpkins in Toronto. Next week, when I’m back in Calgary, I’ll sit down and write what hearing one particular song can mean to a person. Until then, here’s the setlist from Tuesday’s hour-and-a-half-long bliss-out at the Amphitheatre. I had no intention of seeing the End Times Tour (which also featured Marilyn Manson) until this article. At which point it ceased being a matter of “would I go? 8221; and became a matter of “how much will I spend? Bullet with Butterfly Wings. You ar...

Mental Health | Stuff and Nonsense
https://snjohns.wordpress.com/mental-health
My parents blessed me with good looks, intelligence, searing wit, modesty…and a slightly misfiring brain. I was officially diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in 2012, though I’d been having symptoms since as early as 1991, when I was ten years old. My battle with OCD’s made me into a mental health advocate, and in February 2013 I became Calgary’s Community Correspondent. For a national organization called Partners for Mental Health. One thought on “ Mental Health. Enter your comment here.
