Suicide Thoughts

It doesn’t take much to lose everything you have. Sometimes it’s controllable, and other times it’s not. Increased poverty, a lack of affordable housing, mental health care deinstitutionalization, and social factors (ex. abuse, violence, social network alienation) are defined as the four essential causes for homelessness in Canada. At least 150,000 Canadians a year use a homeless shelter at some point, with up to 30,000 with nowhere to go on any given night. 50,000+ Canadians hide their homelessness on any given night by couch surfing between friends and relatives on a temporary basis, as they too have nowhere else to go. At this moment, young people in Canada account for 1/5 of the people living in Canada’s homeless shelters. The United States has an even more alarming rate of homelessness. A study was done in 2016, and according to the report, over half a million people were living on the streets, as well as in cars, homeless shelters, or subsidized transitional housing during a one-night national survey. 

Whether the personal circumstances include a traumatic event (job loss or house fire); a personal crisis (family break-up or domestic abuse); mental health and addictions challenges (brain injury, FAS); and/or system failures (difficult discharge transitions from corrections and hospital facilities, child welfare transitions failures, and lack of support for immigrants and refugees, it doesn’t take much to lose everything you have.

The Odyssey: Homer’s Epic of Odysseus’ 10-year struggle to simply return home after the battle of Troy. Odysseus and his crew sailed the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, against the wrath of the Gods, fighting mystical creatures to one day return home and retake the throne of Ithaca.

In this piece, My sister Julia Lovett is featured as the Sirens, women who live on an island luring men to their doom by singing about the men’s pasts. Odysseus passes by their place, listening to their song as he is tied down. Odysseus encounters several obstacles in his journey. The Lotus Eaters, the people who eat a plant that makes them forget about home. Others include Scylla, Charybdis, Circe, Cyclops, Calypso, and Poseidon.

I Was The Painter by Kevin Lovett

Recently completed my final year at St. Francis Xavier University, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, with a Major in Marketing, minor In music. Prior to my study at university, I obtained my high school diploma from Rothesay Netherwood School in New Brunswick, and enrolled into MOSMA, Winnipeg, Manitoba, to study media arts.  I earned an Audio Technician’s diploma, followed by a Master’s Certification in Audio Recording Technology from RRFC, with a proficiency in Pro Tools audio software, and Adobe graphic design software.
 
Over the past four years at St. Francis Xavier University, I have been working towards my Marketing degree in the Gerald Schwartz School of Business, while at the same time, maintaining a close relationship with the music department. Since September 2014, I have been working as the sound engineer for all of the performances related to the music department during the school years. My task has been to setup and manage concerts for all of the students, professors, and guest artists that perform each year on campus and around the community. During my final years of study, the music department employed me to instruct several classes on music technology, which resulted in the students having their own songs recorded by myself. I have over 10 years experience in sound, and 15 years of being a multi-instrumentalist/performer.

I write, compose, record, edit, mix, and master all of the music by myself, Looking to find a great singer as well as a band to join me in making music!
