Movember is ending… but don’t be sad. It’s been another great campaign for the Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 and all of the Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world. This year The Union had 5 awesome members and I am proud to have been on the same side as my 4 teammates. Sean, […]
Well, it happened… for the 5th year in a row our friends came out in support of a great cause, had a bunch of fun, and wowed me. Last night’s Movember Challenge Karaoke event was always supposed to be smaller than last year, it had to be – the minute 2013’s event ended we all […]
It’s early days of the 2014-15 NBA season, the Toronto Raptors are sitting at the top of the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference, and we’re excited for basketball. So to help me kick off the new season, here’s Allegra to answer some of my hardest hitting, and most random questions pertaining to the new season […]
Today a family was told that they have to battle cancer. A father, husband, son, and brother was diagnosed with liposarcoma and will soon start treatment for his tumour. That person happens to be embattled Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford. Because it’s Rob Ford there are already many stories and posts about the diagnoses and the […]
When I was 16 I bought my first car. It was a 1991 Dodge Shadow. It was maroon. On the outside and the inside. So much maroon. When I was 17 I got my G2 in November and started driving to school and work and to hang out with friends and it… was… awesome. However, […]
There have been some great articles written and posted on the internet about the reasons that men don’t express emotion the same way that women do. The main point they all boil down to is that young boys are taught that they shouldn’t show emotion because it isn’t manly/masculine/appropriate/desirable/etc. And while I do not dispute […]
2013 was a year. Just like every other one. My 2013 came with ups and downs. Just like everyone else’s. The thing about ups and downs is, there’s another up coming… and sometimes you just need a little inspiration to help you go out and find it. I’m lucky (how many times have I said […]
Every year my mom asks me what I want for Christmas. And it seems like every year I have more and more trouble trying to answer the question. Yes, it’s true, I do want socks and underwear for Christmas. Maybe that’s what happens when you hit your 30s and have a penchant for grabbing the […]
As we near the end of another year it’s time to look back at some of the awesome things that I’ve been able to do in 2013. Before I list a whole bunch of things, I need to say that I am lucky and appreciative for all of the opportunities that have come my way […]
There’s a new place to wear your hat and boots downtown with the launch of the Rock ‘N’ Horse Saloon at 250 Adelaide St. West. Wednesday night I went to check out the private launch party (Thank you Liz & Strut Entertainment for the invite) and get a look at the newest country getaway in […]
This isn’t a Rob Ford defense piece. It also isn’t a Rob Ford persecution piece. This is my wondering how all of this came to be for Ford and the city of Toronto. All of the thoughts from here on out are my opinion. I am not a Rob Ford supporter. I did not vote […]
It’s coming! And I’m excited! Thursday, November 28, 2013. 9pm to 2am. The Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 presents, Movember Challenge Karaoke Toronto is coming back for a 4th year to raise money for our team and the Movember cause! That’s right, the 4th year! It’s all a little crazy in my mind really. In […]
For years Chris Tsang wondered what his contribution to the art community was going to be. He spent years working retail, then in a print ad agency. And then came the Mindzai.com blog – his appreciation for street art and graffiti and more traditional mediums had him taking pictures and visiting shows and galleries. He […]
If home is where the heart is then I’m either a broken or lucky man. You see, I’ve left a piece of my heart in every village, town and city that I’ve lived in since I was a kid. I have connections and family and friends in all of these places. I have memories and […]
On the weekend I had myself a little Blue Jays home stand with a 4 game streak at the Rogers Centre. Friday, game 1, Trish and I had a date night in section 209 vs. the Orioles with rookie Sean Nolin making his big league debut. It wasn’t a solid game for the home team […]
