http://ratedargh-jcw.blogspot.com/2013/01/morals.html

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Won't somebody please think of the children? Helen Lovejoy shouted this anytime a moral cause was taken up in early episodes of The Simpsons. It was meant as a satirical jab at those who may be perceived to take the world too seriously. It also worked as a message to those parents and others. Who complained about the content of the show damaging society's moral fabric. Second aside: Terminator 3.

In the mind of madness: March 2013

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Saturday, March 9, 2013. I came to the other side of the world with the intention of documenting my every move as I navigated the concrete jungle of Beijing and beyond. What followed was a blog post twice monthly until recently when it has almost entirely evaporated. My eyes are drooping. I think I'm trapped looking toward the future. A few weeks ago during a sleepless night (30 consecutive waking hours! If you are intere...

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Monday, January 14, 2013. Besides, nothing negative happened so it's immediately less riveting than a total train wreck would have been. Flying back into Beijing the flight attendant came over the loudspeaker in the plane. The ground temperature in Beijing is -11 degrees Celsius," she said. From Lincoln to Django to Zero Dark Thirty, the movies of 2012 have impressed. Netflix has given me access to Sons of Anarchy, wh...

In the mind of madness: October 2012

http://ratedargh-jcw.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Great Wall or Greatest Wall? The Great Wall of China is one of those places where you can’t help but have exorbitant expectations prior to experiencing it. What those expectations entail is likely a litany of vague, second-hand information or photographs. You can subdue those expectations by trying to convince yourself that it’s “just another place.”. It is a place to be seen, a place to behold&...

In the mind of madness: November 2012

http://ratedargh-jcw.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. As I teach a unit on media and the messages presented by media to a grade 8 class in Beijing, I can't help but be reminded of my first real gig as a journalist. About a year after the paper opened, it shut its doors. I have come a long way. My writing and editing has improved ten-fold and I am picking out errors in stories from 2008 that make me groan in 2012. I recognize some things that I cou...

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Saturday, December 8, 2012. I should have stayed for tea. Another lengthy bus ride brought us to the pet labyrinth. This place is corridor after corridor of various shops with fish, tarantulas, flying squirrels, and more. We browsed and found some depressing spots where the animals live in tiny cages wallowing in their own feces. It was still an interesting place, and not all animals were being abused (at least not openly...

In the mind of madness: August 2012

http://ratedargh-jcw.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

In the mind of madness. A disenchanted writer's observations on the world at large. Thursday, August 30, 2012. And away we go. The road is a part of me. For years I've yearned to escape; to wander. I've managed, briefly, to barrel down the odd highway; initially foreign only to become a new home for a fleeting moment. Tomorrow, I leave Canada for ten months. Tomorrow, I leave the continent for the first time. When I enrolled in journalism school I wanted to be a foreign correspondent for a newspaper or w...
