I know I’ve written similar pieces to this in the past. But I can assure you that I am writing this now because it needs to get out. I’m a very lucky guy. I lead a very charmed life. Over the years and through my life there have been a lot of ups and downs. […]
On Canada Day I was lucky enough to hit Downsview Park with good friends to see Weezer and The Tragically Hip. As a bonus we saw Broken Social Scene, Hey Rosetta! and even Buck 65 when he popped on stage to do a Beastie Boys cover with BSS. The best part was being with 4 […]
What up kids? Just a quick stop in. I’m still in the office on Thursday afternoon, but I am having trouble concentrating on anything because I have my North by Northeast wristband sitting right beside me. Tonight starts my NXNE 2011 experience with shows and crowds and cheering and perhaps a beverage and a late […]
Good morning boys and girls. It is with great pleasure and a huge smile on my face that I am writing to you this morning. You see, after much hinting and working and waiting I can now tell you that I have TWO 5-day North by Northeast 2011 wristbands to give away. side note: NXNE […]
I’m a dreamer. I can’t help it. I don’t want to. I love dreaming about what things would be like if they were different. If I had taken different paths. Made different mistakes. It doesn’t mean that I’m not happy with where I am and with what I have right now. It’s just part of […]
Tonight I was a lucky boy! I tweeted something along those lines earlier. And I meant it. Let me break it down for you. Last night, my lovely lady friend told me that she was hoping against hope that there was a way for her to get into The Mod Club to see Michou presented […]
Hello boys and girls – I know that we are just now starting to embrace Spring and celebrate the fact that we are out of the cold and into the green and warm and happy. But the thing is, we can’t be in Spring forever, Summer will follow shortly. And this Summer I want to […]
This is the year 2011, we have 3D TV, HD everything and more than most of us will ever need. But what we still don’t have are cures to some of the most debilitating diseases in the world. This spring a group of amazing people have come together to help remedy that issue. This Thursday, […]

In Sonya Watson’s Providence this new world is created and explored. The first book in a series of three, Providence is a post-apocalyptic, mutli-dimensional journey that follows the mission of […]
There have been a lot of tweets popping up these days with people telling secrets about themselves. But let’s be honest – the chances that these little tidbits are actually secrets are pretty slim. With that in mind I won’t be sharing any secrets today – not because I don’t have any – I do […]
Last night I tweeted that my biggest professional wish was to have Bill Simmons read one of my posts at fanshots.com. That would be amazing. I won’t lie. I look up to that guy big time. That thought got me thinking even more though. So much that I *almost* stayed up to write this post. […]
Here it is, my first post as a 29 year old blogger. Another year older, more experienced and perhaps greyer. It’s also the first post where I come right out and tell you that I’m for hire and will be launching some pretty rad things in the next little while. First though, and most importantly […]
I’ve only been on crutches for about 24 hours and already I’m encouraged by the way that the people of Toronto have reacted. You guys have been awesome. When I first got the sticks from Norman I hopped on the streetcar to head to the office and it didn’t take long at all to see that […]
Some days are easier than others. We all know that. We’ve been there. It’s what we do on those days that make us who we are. Starting at the New Year I started preaching that 2011 was going to be the year of Awesome. It’s in my Twitter stream daily. My current BBM status is […]
