The Oscars were hosted by Seth MacFarlane. I am surprised that the jokes that he used weren't a little bit classier. He is after all known for such high brow humour. To all the haters, you should be blaming the Academy for selecting him. He has done the same jokes for ten years, why would he change now?
Hey Mark Cuban, if you are going to call out Kobe Bryant when your team is fighting for a playoff spot. Do it after the game.
Atoms for Peace - 7.8/10 (Thom Yorke is fronting this band. Little more electronic then Radiohead)
When we stayed at a hostel owned by an English dude in Guatape he told us a funny/sad story about how he has had one person take off without paying for the night. The same guy drank about fourteen cups of free coffee, and then left the hostel a bad review on Trip Advisor. Best thing about the story is that the guy wanted to be friends on Facebook after.
Opening Day Jays tickets this year were bloody expensive. I might have to sell my Frank Thomas Jays jersey to afford it. Any takers?
Looking for goalie equipment for ice hockey is extremely difficult when you are cheap and a leftie.
Those poor people that have such a beautiful smile, but their gum line is too low.
The awards that the Oscars got right.
Best Picture - Argo (I love Silver Linings, but this movie was excellent)
Best Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz
Best Documentary - Searching for Sugarman
Awards they got wrong
Best Actress - Jennifer Lawrence should have been Jessica Chastain
Best Director - Ang Lee (Life of Pi) should have been Ben Affleck (Who wasn't nominated)
The best comment that I heard on Facebook was that somebody thought the Avengers should have won for best effects. Yes, the Hulk did look extremely realistic. At some points of Life of Pi I couldn't tell if it was the real tiger or the CGI one.
Do you think that there will ever be a best 3D award?
Watching Raptors basketball is enjoyable again. The team plays hard every single night. And are in practically every game.
Watched Food Inc. last night. This is the blue pill in the Matrix I have had my head in the sand for years. You always know in the back of your mind that there is no way they can be selling burgers this cheap without you paying some type of price on the back end. When you can buy a cheeseburger cheaper then carrots there is something wrong.
I bet you Jaime Foxx took Kelly Rowland home last night.
I can't believe I am about to say this, but I had an extremely enjoyable drive to Toronto on Saturday.
Watching sore losers on Television makes me laugh. You look like a complete idiot when you whine about the outcome of a game.
The refs were brutal the last time the Flyers played the Leafs. The Flyers would have won the game if it wasn't for that one call in the first.
Feel like a beginner on the roads again when it snows. White knuckled, turning down the music, sweat coming off my brow. This two centimeters of snow is getting right in my grill.
Find that a lot of dudes aren't hanging on to that last grasp of hair on their head. They are shaving it off like real men. Over compensate with a beard that's what I would do.
If Bryzgalov is going to play awful. At least be amusing in your interviews.
If you are going to ask me for a deal at work. Please tell me that you are buying more then a $399.99 laptop.
I know there are a lot of really stupid lyrics in the Rock music that I endorse, but doesn't it just sound dumber coming out of a country artists mouth?
Tofu, you don't taste like food. You taste like something that got slipped into a kid's meal hoping that the kid wouldn't notice to make it healthier.

Highlights of the Colombia trip.
- Spending a wonderful day with an owner of a coffee plantation's family, and being shown everything that needs to be done when you own a coffee plantation. You have no idea how much work is involved with every cup of coffee you have.
- Being taken up a mountain on a milk truck road, and having a 22 km hike down the old mountain road while being surrounded by beautiful scenery of the mountains on each side.
- Staying at a bed and breakfast with an amazing couple that cooked us delicious dinners and breakfasts everyday.
- Exploring a rarely used path, and finding our own hike to do through field pastures and walking down a gulley very similar to the one James Franco found himself stuck in 127 hours.
People are extremely friendly, and always helpful when asking questions in our broken Spanish. Every day we had a new adventure, and never had a dull moment staying at wonderful hostels and meeting new people.
The only thing that I could complain about was an incident at the border.
Story: Our flight arrives in Niagara Falls, NY at 1:00am. 80% of people on the plane are from Canada. So Sara and I go and grab a coffee from Tim Horton's (roll up the rim, nice surprise,) and some gas. We head to the border and see the lineup of cars is about 7 or so. We inch along, and then all of a sudden a car goes past us thinking that there was another line for some unknown reason. Once he realizes his mistake he throws on his left turn signal thinking for some reason that someone would let him into the border lineup. Obviously everyone is annoyed, and he attempts to bully his way into the line TO styles. Still everybody is close together and no one is budging. So then he goes to the front of the line and tries to beat an Escalade to the position, almost running into him. At this point he is right beside our car. Sara puts down the window and promptly asks the idiot what he is doing? He responds that it's not that big of a deal and to let him in. She responds to get to the back of the line buddy. He tells her that she needs medication and throws his car in reverse. As he is going in reverse, people are honking, and you can hear yelling. The border agent calls for a police car, and at that point we had been put through.
If you want to get Sara fired up, bring up this story and it will work every time.
Who is ready for Blue Jays baseball? If you guessed at the start of last year, what this years 5 starters would be for the Jays I will pay you with a big take off eh!
Have you ever sat beside someone that was fidgety on an airplane? It can drive you slowly insane.
Have you ever sat across the aisle from an old man that has drank too much vodka? It's very entertaining.
Homer Simpsons voice in Spanish is not nearly as good as it is in English. Bart's voice is actually better in Spanish though.
I come back to a clean car in Niagara Falls, followed by a snow storm in Hamilton. You can blame me for the snow fall last night.
I have been gone for a week, and the only news that I received of any substance was that a rapper by the name Wall-E got upset and confronted the Raptor announcers that were saying that he wasn't as good as Drake.
Receiving an email that says that a king has put 3.5 million dollars in my bank account was a nice surprise as well. Thanks Dr. Zouco, how did this get to my spam account? This seems to be very important.
It's funny to see texts from people that don't know that you are gone. First they ask a question. Then they ask if everything is alright. Then they send question marks. Then they get pissed that you aren't answering. Then they send WTF.
If you want to stop crime in the US just make them go through their customs and security in Fort Lauderdale 3 times a day for two years. I guarantee they will be rehabilitated.
Jays opening day sold out under my nose. Also Tame Impala sold out.
Curtis Mayfield you are a soul god by the way.
Javier Bardem would always be my bad guy if I was directing any type of movie. Good guy is still to be determined.
Leaf fans I promise I won't talk smack about your team until my Flyers start to play better. Just one last shot, Tuukka Rask is pretty good eh? I thought I saw Justin Pogge working at Sobey's here in Kitchener.

Today is Sara and I's 5th Anniversary. We got married in Costa Rica on a beach just outside a National Park. It was gorgeous and very memorable. Her father is an Elvis impersonator that goes as "Elmo," and sang a few songs at our wedding reception.
Watched the Grammy's last night. There were some great performances. Jack White and The Black Keys were especially good. Doesn't the country performances seem forced. It's like inviting that cousin to your wedding that you haven't seen for ten years. "Fine Zac Brown band you can come. No you can't do a toast, just sit in the corner of the room and be quiet."
Melissa McCarthy - Overrated
if Fun. and Mumford and Sons didn't exist that would have been the perfect Grammy's.
Girls is a great show, but have we seen enough of Lena Dunham for a while? These entertainment shows just love to overkill everything that has ever become popular.
If you had the ability to throw somebody back into the spotlight, who would it be?
Snoop Dogg should just be able to come onto the television anytime that I want him to.
Walk into a club wearing a long leather coat with fur around the neck, a cigar in your mouth, and a money clip with a pile of fives in it. Just to see what happens.
Did everybody enjoy their excursions zip lining this year?
Has anybody that you know ever called those Quest hotlines to talk to the girls? This must be the same group of people that get hosed into giving money to the people that call and say. "Are you having problems with your windows computer?"
I know I am repeating myself but, please learn how to spell again human race.
Mr. Lahey and Randy from Trailer Park Boys are coming to the Starlight lounge in Waterloo soon. I have heard that Mr. Lahey just buys shots for Randy the whole night and gets him wasted. I think it's worth me checking out.
Have you ever been so mad at your pillow because it won't go into the right position that you have punched it? Or is this just me?
Watched Zero Hour starring Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds. It's basically National Treasure with the bad guys kidnapping his wife and Penny and Brain are there to help him figure out the mystery. The pilot was Ok. At least Walking Dead is back.
The penny is no longer existent. I thought the girl at the bulk barn was going to have an aneurysm trying to figure out whether to round up or round down. I feel terrible for people at Tim Horton's and the Dollar Store if they have to do math each and every time they make a transaction.
I still feel good every time Tears for Fears comes on. I cannot say the same thing for Bon Jovi. Even in the most tired state I have ever been in it took me .2 seconds to turn the song.
Mike Tyson was on Law and Order SVU. There are many things wrong with this. The fact that he can't act was just a minor flaw.
If you look around any retail store that has younger people working there just check to see if more then 50% of the people that work there are looking at their phone. I am not in this generation, but I am becoming bad for this. If you are at something that requires you to be social you should be shocked every time that you look at your phone.
If you are tweeting how awesome that a show you are at is, and it causes you to miss a song at that show. Is the tweet worth it?

What is the movie that you have referenced the most?
Joe Flacco's agent says that he should be the highest paid Quarterback in the league right now. I think that Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger might have something to say about that.
Off to Columbia in a few days. It will probably be a little more relaxing then the Everglades. If I come back wearing a white suit, deck shoes, and have my hair slicked back you might want to give me a few days to adjust back.
Hockey has been frustrating so far this year. Every game I watch is so sloppy. The Flyers are a couple games under .500 and that is only due to Bryzgalov being fantastic so far.
Wreck it Ralph - 8.5/10
I tried to watch Hotel Transylvania, but I can't stand when there is singing in any movie. As soon as I hear that first note of a children's about to go into a song and dance, I feel like Derek Zoolander trying to get the files out of a computer.
I wonder how Steve's TV afforded a Super Bowl commercial? Also if you knew you were going to get some airtime over Superbowl wouldn't you try to make your commercial less like the kid with the water softner on his skateboard.
Purchased a Toshiba tablet recently from work. It went clearance down to $99.99. Great deal, now I have to find a reason to use it.
Don't you feel extremely awesome when you walk into certain restaurants? And completely uncomfortable when you walk into another. Frakkin' Starbucks! The cup is medium sized. We have been using the word medium for centuries. There is no cup size called Grande.
Don't you wish we could make people throw up when they hear a certain band by just placing a certain note in the song that would make them sick? If I am voted Prime Minister I will enforce this.
No Name needs a new name. As soon as I see that plain yellow packaging I feel dirty.
Listening to somebody that has absolutely no filter is entertaining and scary at the same time. Especially when I am pretty sure they have never had sex before and they are saying awkward sexual things to women.
My signature stinks. I have been trying to improve it, but I can't do it.
Smoked Oatmeal Stout does not sound like a good beer, but it's not bad. It seems like a beer that you would get stuck in your moustache for a day or two.
Meth addicts are the hardest people to have a conversation with. Meth addicts that have ADD are impossible.
Yes, I see that your jeans are torn up, I also see that they are skinny jeans. Give me your Ipod, I am going to destroy it and try to give you a chance to get a job.
Eric Clapton is a mighty fine blues artist if you didn't already know that.
There is no possible way for a dude to wear a boa and look tough.
