So for Christmas I got the DVD of the Foo Fighters Back and Forth documentary. And this afternoon I sat down and watched it for the first time. It was awesome. I don’t watch a lot of docs, but this one was a pretty sure thing for me as I love the band and the […]
This whole quitting smoking thing is complicated. There are so many stop smoking aids these days that I don’t really know what to do. I’ve heard a ton of great things about Allen Carr’s book but I haven’t had my hands on it yet. I picked up a pack of Thrive nicotine gum yesterday at […]
I’ve been thinking a bunch over the last few days. You see, I worked hard at making 2011 a year of Silver Linings and Awesome. And now we have a new year and it’s time to start working at a new goal. I’m thinking… be a better me. It’s vague (which I like) and it’s […]
Hey y’all. Happy Saturday from my little corner of the world. In case you didn’t see it on the Twitter or Facebook I have some news to share. I’m quitting the whole smoking thing. Yup. I know that I’ve said it before. Heck I even blogged it before. But this time I think I have […]

I’ve been over the fact that I love Country Music a thousand times here and on Twitter. I really, really love the stories and emotion and passion that gets conveyed through the lyrics and melodies. I also really dig a great country duet. There have been a few really good ones in the last few […]
It seems kind of silly that I’m using the countdown to my 30th birthday as a reason to give you a bunch of lists. But when I started this blog the spirit of it was to review things. So here’s another list/review from me to you.Some of my fav books – take a look. William […]
I don’t know why – but I love the streetcars in Toronto. We all know that the TTC is far from a perfect service. Prices are climbing, equipment is old, service times can be inconsistent and inconvenient. However, I love the beauty of the streetcar. Maybe I’m the only one. Maybe I romanticize something that […]
One month from today I will turn 30. Yup, it’s going to happen. I’m not upset about it. I’ll wear as a badge of honor. However, it has made me think a bunch. And it makes me wonder if I can come up with a list of 30 things about me that I can share […]
Okay kids, here’s the deal – I’ve been awful with my NFL playoff picks. Absolutely terrible. 3-5… that’s not good. So, in an effort to turn things around I’ve asked my expert assistant to help me with the picks. Without knowing anything about the teams, records, history or where the games are played I asked […]
In my 2012 Un-Resolutions I mentioned that I wanted to show more love for Parkdale. I meant it. When I moved to Toronto from Ottawa in 2008 I stayed with my boy Mike near Yonge and Eglinton for a month – but then I grabbed my first apartment in the city and moved to Parkdale […]
On Januray 9th @blackbrownbeige and I went to the ACC to see the Toronto Raptors take on the Timberwolves of Minnesota. It was a good game, the boys won and we had great seats thanks to the HoHoTO Hangover Auction package that we split on. Big thanks to Sean for the idea, the HoHoTO people […]
We watched Moneyball last night at home. It was my first watch since a pre-release screening in the theatre… and it totally held up on the 2nd watch.For non-baseball fans I’m sure that it’s a great watch and display of Brad Pitt in a dramatic role with some great little comedic bits and fantastic fatherly […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about lost relationships. Not lost because anything bad happened. Just lost because of life and time and distance. I grew up with some pretty amazing people. I had some great friends that were with me when things were bad at home and with girls and in school. I had […]
Hey kids, it’s playoff weekend 2 and I’m back for more punishment. Last week I was 2-2 with my picks thanks to Tebow Time. Ugh. Worst. This week I’m taking an underdog, a road fav and 2 home teams. Check it out! Game 1: Saturday 4:30pm New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers Pick: Saints […]
