Happy Hump Day, So I’m back… again… after a… I dunno probably 3 month break since the last post. I’m back home for the summer and returning to somewhat of a farmiliar routine and am going to make it a personal challenge to myself to try and post on here regularly. Who knows whether it …

No News Is Top News
We’ve got Canadian tourists being murdered by professional hitmen in Mexico. We’ve got buildings falling down and killing people. We’ve got what could be the largest bank robbery in British history. We’ve got earthquakes, shootings and city-wide strikes that are shutting down important services in some places. We’ve got lots of things that I’m sure …
Football’s Back
So this morning at 10am tickets to the CFL Eastern Division Championship went on sale for the Rogers Centre (or the Ted) in Toronto. The game’s got the Argos’ and whoever wins the Eastern Semi-final. I got my tickets finished at 10:02am and the closest I could get was 2nd deck, 8th row. Don’t get …
Checking In, Saying Hi, Writing Things Down
I hope that everyone who celebrates it had a good Canadian Thanksgiving. Mine was great, thanks for asking. It was a good excuse for me to see my family, who I don’t see nearly as much as I’d like. It was also a good excuse for me to eat ridiculous amounts of food. The last …

Football, 1984, And Other Things That Have Nothing In Common
Happy Wednesday to all. Wow, what a beautiful day it is outside today. Actually, what a beautiful week this has been. Possibly the nicest week we’ve had all Summer when I stop and think about it. Not too hot, not too humid, sunny, clear, breezy, it’s just about as perfect as weather can get. If …

Mr. Retarded Wizard
I’ve always been a fan of amateur science experiments, but there are times when not knowing something is just as satisfying. For instance, when the process of finding out whatever it is you’re trying to find out involves falling from the upper deck of Yankee Stadium, it’s probably a good idea to leave the hard …
They Really Should Have Known Better
This is what happens when you tell soccer fans to riot. I’m not sure what they expected would happen, but they got what they deserved. And is it really a good idea to offer free beer to people insane enough to attend a soccer match? Just curious.
When You Absolutely, Positively Have To Fall Asleep Right Now
Greg just pointed me in the direction of what could easily be the most boring thing I’ve ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Golf. But not just any golf, we’re talking about golf that’s being broadcast on the radio. Seriously, if you click here, you can listen to Masters Radio, hosted by guys who make …

Name That Team
So I’m taking a Goalball team to the Windsor Classic Indoor Games in March and I’m not going with my usual provincial teams. It is, in fact, an under 23 tournament so there are only two players on my usual team eligible to play and we are on different teams for competition’s sake. There will …
That’s Not A Sport
So I didn’t have a very good weekend. I had some plans fall through on Friday night, weather was shit on Saturday and to top it all off, the Eagles couldn’t get it done in the big game last night. Anyway there’s something that’s been bothering me of late, and it’s small and petty, but …
