Went to see Wild at the Princess and the Hobbit at Landmark. It's amusing to see the type of crowd that was at each movie. At Wild there weren't many people under the age of 40. Mostly people that were in healthy shape and dressed well enjoying a small popcorn and pop if they had any food at all. At the Hobbit. It was 4:30 in the afternoon and there was multiple middle aged men and women. Most were on the heavier side, with the biggest popcorn of all time with the 2L fountain drink that they offer. While grabbing straws we noticed multiple people coming out to get more liquid butter for their popcorn. Sara and I had a giant popcorn at both. It's exactly what you expect at these two movies.
Wild - 8.8/10
The Hobbit - 7.1/10
The Equalizer - 6.5/10
The question is if Denzel from the Equalizer spent time with Liam Neeson's daughter from Taken and Liam got the wrong idea, and went after him what would happen?
Sara scoffed at points during Wild. If you don't know the story line a women that is trying to get over things that have happened in her life and decides to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. She has an outrageously sized back pack and doesn't get the right fluid to use her cook set while hiking. As most people know by watching Sara's YouTube videos that she was more prepared then a mustard in an Our Compliments bottle.
Christmas is almost upon us. Christmas has transformed for Sara and I into an appreciating what we have what we would like to accomplish in the new year. And of course spending time with our amazing families. Hopefully that gets an extra point on the wine scale that they were going to purchase.
Watching many Tiny House shows. Tiny Houses are 200-400 sq foot homes that contain everything that a larger home does, just in much smaller formats. We want this to be something that we can look into building or buying in the next five years. Zoning laws make it difficult in Ontario. Things seem to be changing though. Have a look on YouTube about it.
There is a place in Toronto that offers Ax throwing. You can bring your own beers and throw some axes around. What I picture in my head is these mountain men wearing flannel shirts, with suspenders, work boots, and giant beards with foaming over mugs of beer picking up an ax with one hand and throwing it through a tree that has somehow miraculously survived indoors.
Horrible Bosses 2 - Needlessly made for money - 3.1/10
I try not to get upset while waiting for a one thousand year old woman to cross the parking lot. One day I would love to just lay on the horn or yell obscenities just to see what would happen.
The Buffalo Bills in usual Buffalo Bills fashion fail to win on the road against the Raiders in a must win situation after looking fantastic against the Packers. That whole city should be given a wedgie.
Been watching many Ted Talks recently about travel, tiny houses, minimalism, and other topics. You could go for days watching these videos. There are so many interesting points of view out there. If you are sick of thinking the world is one awful place after watching the news. Watch a Ted Talk about practically any subject it will make you feel better about the world.
Talked a guy yesterday about gift cards. We were discussing whether it's better to just receive cash then a gift card. The old argument of putting something thought into it versus something you are actually going to use. I guess it boils down to how well you know the person. If you know the person is a foodie or a drinkie then you can be a little creative with your gift. If you know nothing or very little about the person, cash is king. Those stupid Visa gift cards cost money to either activate or purchase. Don't bother with them. Give them cash instead.
They should change the word mutton. You understand it's sheep. Just the word mutton makes me think of putting food into a napkin and being chased by dogs.
Jerry Seinfeld should have had Batman up in the apartment. Superman is a dweeb.

Record Shop owners and their impact on teachers in Iceland
There is a certain way that you need to act while in a record shop with mostly unknown music at your disposal. Always pick up a record every few minutes with a coolness, but don't show too much excitement. Filter through everything like you know every single band that you are looking at. Calmly wander over to the record store owner and ask if they can order in a record that is probably out of press. When purchasing, have a look that these records will do I guess, but it wasn't the exact edition that I was looking for. This is how you gain points with your local record store owner.
Johnny Manziel and somebody named Rusty Smith are the only QB's in NFL history that were shutout in their first career NFL start. Sharing a stat with somebody named Rusty Smith doesn't sound like a great start to your career. Just envisioning the fry boy from the Simpsons constantly.
The Simpsons turns 25 this year. Smithers was originally an African American man. Krusty was supposed to be Homer in disguise, and The Simpsons movie was supposed to be a musical are a few of the interesting tidbits that I found out. See the Chive isn't just for boobs and butts. Can't even write that with a straight face.
Still Alice - 8.8/10
The Skeleton Twins - 9.1/10
Gone Girl - 8.7/10
Three fantastic movies. Julianne Moore has to be the favourite for best actress for Still Alice. She's a brilliant professor that develops early Alzheimer disease. She does her best to keep things together, but it's only a matter of time. It's a tough watch. Many heart wrenching moments.
Heard a story yesterday of a co-worker that has a friend that works for another FS. Apparently she was asked if FS had a different website for each location. Sorry you receive a timeout for this.
Things are going full circle. Some of the most popular gifts this year are mini Polaroid cameras and record players. It's very strange giving people of all ages knowledge about record players. One thing about people buying record players. Not one of them listens to shitty music. You just don't hear. "Oh, and can you tell me where to pick up the new Nicki Minaj record? Just really want to hear Anaconda on vinyl."
One of the talents that I have obtained is picking out teachers when I am selling to them. They are the most annoying customers that ask every question known to man about a $40.00 mouse.
I have an Iphone 4. It has the worst digital camera ever developed in it. You might as well draw a picture with the paint from a cardboard box of Gato Negro wine.
Sara and I have booked a trip to Iceland in April. We have wanted to go there for years. Nearly every travel website that I check out always have beautiful pictures from Iceland. That and ways I can purchase it through them for an outrageous price.
It's getting closer and closer to the end of the Fantasy Football season. Or as gamers call it World of Warcraft for jocks.
Be good to people in this hectic time of year. Whether it's helping somebody in need or just being patient with people that are trying to help you out the best they can. It's simple just be good to fellow humans.

At Farm Camp Learning a Russian Accent
Sara was telling me a story about when she was younger. She wanted to go to something called Farm Camp. She took all of her brothers with her. They learned how to work on the farm and all things about farm life. These farmers were geniuses. They were paid for receiving child labor. We have an opening at FS. Come learn to work in retail. Carry bags, lift boxes, and learn the wisdom of handling people at Xmas time. Only $1,000 per week.
We had our annual Xmas party last night at McMullens in Waterloo. It was a rousing success. Many great gifts given out. For the auction of the gift cards I used mainly all local businesses. That's right, I am just like Robin Hood. Except for the stealing part and giving to the poor part. Wait?
There is something called the Christmas Pooper. It's a figurine of a celebrity doing the deed on the ground. Apparently it's good luck to put this up in your house. This seems like something made up by the weird kid in Grade 5 that thought the silent farts were the best. Why would anybody want this?
Housebound - 9.1/10
Cold in July - 8.2/10
Housebound is absolutely terrific. It's the best horror movie of the year. It's a movie based out of New Zealand and it combines comedy with horror. It's not just your typical haunted house movie. Give it a watch.
Watching the NFC south this year in the NFL is hideous. The NFL really needs to change their playoff format. There's a chance if New Orleans wins outright that they will make the playoffs. They generally are a much different team in the Superdome. Can you imagine if the 12-4 Detroit Lions have to go on the road to face the 7-9 New Orleans Saints?
The owner of Grumpy Cat makes over 100 million dollars a year in endorsements and other nonsense. More then Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian has just found about this and is planning on doing something shocking. She is going to take her clothes off for a magazine. Wow! I wish she would receive an Al Iafrate slap shot off of the inner thigh with one of those rock hard orange road hockey balls.
Faking an accent is extremely strange. It was not put into the managers handbook on how to deal with situations like that. Chapter 7 - How to deal with people faking accents to get things that they want.
Real simple, Bose and Beats docking stations are both excellent. Don't over think it.
The worst words that have come out somebody's mouth that was talking to me recently. That record is not in press anymore. Don't people realize how good The Beta Band Hot Shots II is?
If you have a cat. Make a circle with duct tape on the floor. The cat will sit in it. You're welcome.
What is the age that you start to worry if you are going to injure yourself if you just start running from a complete standstill?
There is something called Preemie dolls. These are dolls that represent premature babies. We do realize that premature babies are not supposed to be born yet and have major health issues to deal with? Yes, now we should start making tri-pod dog stuffed animals.
When you connect on a good high five there is no better feeling. I would say a solid high five only happens 28% of the time. You can't go for a second high five either. If you screw that one up as well you're done. Too many are chances are taken with the high five.
For Cliff Huxtable to gain all of his awesome Dad power Bill Cosby had to sell his soul to Satan according to rumour.

Josh Donaldson battles Jake the Snake in a war of words about being Gluten Free.
Josh Donaldson is a Toronto Blue Jay. This trade came out of nowhere. Donaldson has long been one of my favourite A's players to watch. Here's what you can expect stats wise. .260-.270, .350OBP, 25-30HR, and 90-100RBI. That was in Oakland. This might rise in Toronto. Now for those that are unaware. Billy Beane is known for making shrewd moves. He received two decent bullpen arms. An injury prone player with a world of talent, and an unknown 18 year old short stop that could be a gem. Donaldson is controllable for four years. He will still make anywhere from 10-12 million a year after this year, but the Jays control his rights. This trade is great for Toronto. Bringing in more and more guys that have playoff experience is a smart move by AA.
Black Friday has come and gone in a whirl wind. I left the store yesterday at 5:01 feeling like a prize fighter from the '50s wearing nothing but a white towel and the pride that I had once again gotten through the pit of fire known as Black Friday weekend. If you call me today with an issue from work I will yell obscenities at you until you hang up.
Maze Runner - 6.8/10
Sara's work Xmas party was held at the Cambridge Mill this past Friday. It felt like a place that I would go to watch the Hunger Games. The actual Hunger Games, not the movie.
It seems like the people that cheer for the Leafs are the over dramatic girl friend that makes up stories and exaggerates everything just to create some excitement within the household. They didn't salute the fans. They don't respect us coming to their games. Oh they beat Tampa. Everything is great again. Yaaaaay for hockey.
Look for people leaning and sitting in every possible situation they can find. These people are the bread and butter for all things lazy. They will wait until somebody gets up to get them a beer. Even if their beer has been empty for 30 minutes
Trampolines are great for anywhere from 3 to 4 jumps. Then I want off. But I have to show the appearance that I still want to be there because I bought this thing for $450. It needs to be used even if it sucks.
Cats are dicks. I Remember owning a couple of cats in my life. One was insane, but the other would get onto the counter and just walk around knocking stuff off with it's paw. Mario could just walked around the cup of pencils, but no, she usually stopped and looked at the pencils, then at me, and then flicked her paw and knocked the pencils onto the floor. She would then keep walking like nothing had happened. Cats are dicks
Top 3 worst things to be allergic to.
3 - Sun
2 - Metal
1 - Gluten (People judge you. They wonder if you just think that you are too good for their bread or you are actually allergic to gluten.)
Being a younger man is sometimes difficult. You can't tell another man that you think another man looks handsome. Automatically they will think that you want to have sex with that man. Words like this can never be uttered. That one time when you said Rob Lowe looked good in that suit could haunt you until the age of 18. Or in the city of Cambridge. The rest of your life.
Most people that are creepy never know that they are creepy. When you realize that you are creepy and you still continue to be creepy is when it becomes a problem. When you tell a person that women find you creepy that's when I look at my phone and pretend to pick up a phone call.
TimePlay is an app that allows you to compete for Scene It points against other movie goers in the movie theater before the movie starts. This is a game changer. How did they not think of this before? It's so much better then listening to Kevin James talk about how many times he fell out of the golf cart in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
And on the next episode of Q. Jian will interview Bill Cosby. This interview will take place in a UFC ring with Lucy Lawless during her Xena days.
How did tighty whities become so popular? Also why do all electronics from the late 80's and early 90's have to be that creamy beige colour? Did we not have any other types of paint?
If wrestling was real Jake the Snake Roberts would have been arrested multiple times. Pretty sure it's illegal to lay a Boa Constrictor on an unconscious mans body.

Jim from Old Spice tackles unproductive neon signs
I won a contest. It's valued at $4500. What is it you ask? It's a giant neon sign of my own face. It's from Coors Lite and I won it picking answers to questions such as how many head coaches in the NFL will have facial hair this weekend. I have not received it yet, but I will put up pictures when I do. If you would like to know what am I going to do with it. I have no fu**ing idea.
Boyhood - 9.4/10
Predestination - 8.1/10
A Most Wanted Man - 8.6/10
Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1 - 7.3/10
Boyhood might be the most original movie of the year. Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused) shot this movie over a 12 year period. You get to see the actors grow up right before your eyes. It sees the growth not just with their physical bodies, but how their characters grow. Linklater does a fantastic job of having even the smallest of traits as a child becoming interests when they are older. This is one of the coolest movies I have ever taken in.
My Brother in Law just got married. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was also a study of how alcohol lubrication is a staple when white people need to dance.
I believe that we use words such as epic way too often. We just throw around these words that should only be used when describing Odell Bekhams catch or describing Guardians of the Galaxy. Rather then using it to describe our Wendy's cheeseburger that has been sitting under a heat lamp for 47 minutes.
We don't own enough coffee mugs. Drinking a coffee out of a red solo cup that is burning my hands brought this problem to light.
There might be a time when there a is a year long happy birthday to everyone on my Facebook. My friends are born on too many different days.
Now my snack eating has become one with contests. Currently I am only allowed to eat Pringles and Doritos. Could be worse. Junior mints and cheese balls hopefully will never have a contest.
Pineapple pancakes are a delicious idea that has been brought to my attention recently.
There are uses for smell lines. When somebody has just passed gas or hasn't showered for a week or so there should be a certain colour of smell line. Probably a green one. This would allow the person to be shamed publicly. Full support here.
I know the coolness of ugly Christmas sweaters is probably gone now. As soon as I see the NFL and Swiss Chalet using it in ads it's over. This will be the last year. If you haven't already figured it out. As soon as big companies begin to advertise something that has either been underground or only known by a few people it is no longer cool. Then they advertise it till death until even the general public hates it. Then they find the next thing and so on and so forth.
It's entertaining to see marketing companies try to figure things out though. So, Old Spice ads were cool. They have a dude that does a bunch of random things in very tough ways. Alright 60 year old ad man. We need an idea like this. "What the hell is that? Back in my day, we just had Jim on a horse with a smoke in his mouth holding a stick of Old Spice. That was good enough."
Buffalo has one thing to look forward to each and every week. It's Kyle Orton slinging around passes at Ralph Wilson Stadium. They didn't even get to see that this week.
One of the most dangerous thing that I have seen recently is when a 3 year old child had a giant permanent sharpie running around a room with no cap on the marker. Step away slowly from the situation Daryl.
There is a certain body type that you need to be a professional bowler or dart player. It's the body type of a once in shape rugby or football player, but has eaten too much pub food and it has all gone to the Buddha belly.
Top 3 Ways to Make Yourself Feel Stupid
3 - Watch Jeopardy on a nightly basis
2 - Witness a 5 year old child using an Ipad and try to mimic what they were doing
1 - Being asked to draw a human being with a pencil. Why did you put his arms out of his neck. Also no one stands like that. Their feet are never pointed sideways. Why does the hair look like they cut off their chest hair and taped it to their head.

Russell Martin signed with the Jays today to the tune of 5 years at 82 million. At first glance I thought it was way too much money for a guy that is going to hit .250, hit 10-15 HR, and drive in 60. Then I thought about it. One of the biggest complaints I had with the Jays was their lack of leadership on this team. Martin has plenty of that. They also have a bunch of young arms that look like they could be on the verge of something great in the starting rotation. Martin is fantastic with young pitchers. He throws out base runners at a very good rate and is Canadian. Also, Brian McCann went for a very similar deal to the Yanks. He's 31 which is quite a bit younger then I thought he was. Should have at least another 3 solid years behind the plate. Good signing overall.
Here's some Facebook status updates all put in a row so I don't have to write them throughout the winter.
- Wow, winter came fast this year. Where did this snow all come from?
- Why do people always forget how to drive in winter? It happens every year folks.
- Putting away the golf clubs. Bringing out the shovel.
- So sick of shoveling, wished I lived in an apartment right about now.
- Know of any good movies to watch. I am preparing for hibernation.
The only difference that I can see with myself over the past 10 years is that I can now tell when I am in a crappy mood. Where before I just thought everybody else were just being complete dicks.
They predict that this could be the year that Black Friday outsells Boxing Day in some retail stores. Please make this be true. I sometimes wish I could take a forget me now pill and just work Boxing Day and have it be over without knowing it ever happened.
St Vincent - 8.2/10
The Hundred Foot Journey - 7.7/10
The Babadook - 8.9/10
The Babadook is a horror movie that builds up the tension in your mind. The woman that plays the mother is brilliant. It's one of the better horror movies I have seen in quite a while.
Being in social settings quite often I find it very easy to see what type of crazy people are, and am able to adapt to their craziness. It's like having my brain go into the hard drive of my mind and be like. "Oh here we go, a file from 2006. He's this type of crazy. Here's what you need to do to succeed in this conversation."
As a young lad I was always tentative when going to school dances. I am not even sure why I went. I really had no interest in the music or dancing. I was just there to tell people how many beers I drank before the dance. There was always a thought of picking up girls. My only talent for picking up girls was being outrageous at this time. But not outrageous on the dance floor. Therefore I was very unsuccessful picking up girls at dances. Where was I going with this? Yes, I enjoy dancing now.
Starbucks drinks are tasty. They are a**holes for making their drinks the same price as a premium draft beer. When I have to use a 20 to pay for two coffees it will fire me up.
They landed a robot on a comet. Let me repeat this. A ROBOT ON A COMET. It's been in the works for 20 years. That's absolutely remarkable. Unfortunately, Kim Kardashian made top news by being nude in a magazine and saying that she was going to break the internet. Hopefully she is Dorian Grey and somebody will set fire to her painting.
Ariel Pink has a new album out. Most people have tuned this out. They haven't heard of Ariel Pink and wish I would stop talking about music that nobody has ever heard of.
Movember is being done again this year. It might be running out of steam though. They might have to start something different. Maybe Necember. This stands for neck beard December.
Top 3 facts about glasses
3 - They can make a man look like a rapist instantly.
2 - It's surprising how much beating your glasses can take and that you still wear them. My last glasses looked like that drinking and driving commercial of the glasses being put in front of each other.
1 - When you wear sunglasses indoors you look like the worst kind of dou***bag.
Here's some Facebook status updates all put in a row so I don't have to write them throughout the winter.
- Wow, winter came fast this year. Where did this snow all come from?
- Why do people always forget how to drive in winter? It happens every year folks.
- Putting away the golf clubs. Bringing out the shovel.
- So sick of shoveling, wished I lived in an apartment right about now.
- Know of any good movies to watch. I am preparing for hibernation.
The only difference that I can see with myself over the past 10 years is that I can now tell when I am in a crappy mood. Where before I just thought everybody else were just being complete dicks.
They predict that this could be the year that Black Friday outsells Boxing Day in some retail stores. Please make this be true. I sometimes wish I could take a forget me now pill and just work Boxing Day and have it be over without knowing it ever happened.

Today is Remembrance Day. I plan to show respect downtown Kitchener to the people who serve or have served. People that have given their lives for our freedom and way of life have a special place in my heart.
I have mentioned this before, but how is this not a holiday? We have so many holidays based on religion. There are many different beliefs that people have This day is the one thing that most people can unite upon.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Impatience I believed was an issue with the new generation. It's not. Everybody is impatient. In a world of drive-thru's and instant responses online I notice that even the older generation can't wait for more then 3 minutes to receive help looking for something. They have no idea what they are looking for, but they need it very quickly.
When you play an excellently organized team in Dodgeball it's frightening. They target in on you. Then you have 5 people that have very good arms throw simultaneously in your direction. I felt like Neo from the Matrix. Then I got hit in the crotch.
With not much available on TV right now. I have heard the new Walking Dead is fantastic, but we haven't delved into it quite yet. I have gone back to watching Band of Brothers and The Wire. I have not seen these shows. They are quite good. It's easy to see how HBO has become such a leader in quality TV shows.
And now a of line from the latest episode of Two Broke Girls in case you missed it.
"Why do you have multiple C batteries in the nightstand in your bedroom?"
Oh, it's for her dildo. That's hilarious!
Too Many Cooks is a thing online. It might just be the perfect way to differentiate the humor of one person to another. Most people think it's the most ridiculous thing they have seen. Sara and I disagree and believe that it's the most brilliant thing on the internet currently. Have a cookie and settle in.
The Toronto Raptors are cooking right now. They haven't even played their best ball yet, and they are off to a 6-1 start. They might be the cream of the crop of the East. We all know LeBron will be there, but other then that? This team is deep. Could be a 50 win season.
The Man From Earth - Acting - 3.9/10 Script - 8.8/10 = 7.5/10
The script is intriguing with the story of a man that grew up in the neanderthal era and is thought to have regenerating cells so he never ages.
The Skrillex concert a couple of weeks ago had multiple people having to go to the hospital for OD'ing and mixing. Heard a terrible joke, but I still giggled. Anyone going to the after party at the hospital later?
Anyone actually get excited about driving into Toronto? I feel like Frodo having to drop a ring into the eye of Mordor everytime I have to go to that soul sucking city. Do they create construction just for confusion? It feels like I am in the Truman Show. "Alright he's going to Bloor St. Everybody get in line and get in his way."
Foo Fighters new album is out. I have heard it. It's ok, It's like adding margarine, but nothing else to microwaved green beans.
During Halloween, Sara and I were at a party. There was a guy that was dressed as the dude from Vikings. He was straight up in character. He was looking around the room looking tough as nails. I was like, "this guy is awesome. He looks terrifying and he never breaks character." Turned out that he was just extremely drunk. He then proceeded to barf in the sink that is meant for the servers. They made him clean it up, which was the perfect scene. Viking man cleaning his own vomit from a sink is unusual to witness.

Hosehead's Top 5 Albums of 2014
5: Spoon - They Want My Soul
Spoon is everything that you talk about when describing a terrific rock band. They evolve into a more complete rock band with each and every album. They keep things simple when so many bands get lost in the computer generated world. They make sounds with actual instruments and use Britt Daniel's raspy voice to perfection. This a lost sound. We don't hear to many straight up rock bands anymore. Spoon started to incorporate a piano and faster drum beats into this album. Confidence has risen in this band to go a little bit out of their comfort zone while still keeping the sound that we know and love from this band. Their live show is second to none as well. Top to bottom this album is terrific. Few of the gems are Rainy Taxi, New York Kiss, and Knock Knock Knock.
4 - The Antlers - Familiars
This album is so far out of what I usually love about an album. High pitched male lead with a somewhat R&B and ambient background. It has a feel of sitting in a dimly lit room with a glass of your finest wine wearing shades and thinking back of all the great things that you accomplished in that single day. Peter Silberman can hit notes that cannot be hit by any other males out there. The band has the perfect feel for when to have the guitar and drums enter the fray. Playing on feel is one of the major strengths of this album It can be a bit of a difficult sell when you first hear this album. Once it hits you though, it won't allow you back off of the ground. Soft and subtle with a hint of aggressiveness is the name of the game here. Beautiful album. Top songs to download. Hotel, Doppelganger, and Director
3: Caribou - Our Love
The mastermind Dan Snaith is back at it. This album is almost a masterpiece. It has a couple of hiccups mid album that prevented it from being one or two. This album is straight up electronic. The difference between Swim and Our Love though is the mix between psychedelia and electronic that this album creates that the last one did not. This album sounds like nothing else out there. The only thing that I can really compare this album to is that is sounds like the soundtrack of a new Tron movie if Tron was going to have another movie. Our Love hits you like a drug for the majority of the record. Put together beautifully by Snaith. Caribou is always a fantastic live show. They somehow incorporate instruments while playing live that you don't hear in the album. Stepping up their game with a new light show looks like another one of the things that Snaith has been working on. Killer album, and it's good to see my love for Caribou is back. Songs to download. Silver, Our Love, Back Home, and Can't Do Without You
2: Real Estate - Atlas
Pitchfork puts the feel of this album perfectly. It feels like you are cleaning up your house after a giant party was thrown the night before. Real Estate has perfected that Beach Boys harmony that kind of just flows with the music. It's happened many times that when I put this album on. I get the common. "Who is this?" This is always with a huge smile on their face. Atlas is a sunny album, chimey guitars and perfect background drums. This album is solid from top to bottom. One thing that I thought was cool is that Real Estate was able to use Wilco's studio to record this album. You can hear the amount of fun that they had being able to use unlimited toys. You kind of witness the band grow throughout the album. There is a depth to this album that wasn't on their previous. Atlas was released early this year and hasn't strayed from my iPod. There are multiple songs that have been considered as my favourite on the album. Songs to download. Primitive, Horizon, Talking Backwards, and The Bend
1: The War on Drugs - Lost in a Dream
This album is like witnessing Hulk Hogan walking to the ring. You know it's the best every single time that you hear it. There was never a doubt after I first heard this masterpiece. First thing you will notice is the very Bob Dylan type voice. He doesn't just mumble along though. He can throw some emphasis into his lyrics. You know exactly the time that you should start to move your head to the beat. The precision of the guitar is second to none on this album. Adam Granduciel is the brains and the brawn behind this band. One of the best guitarist right now in the rock scene. One thing that I noticed after listening to this album is that the majority of songs are over six minutes. You don't see that often anymore. This album has a complete feel. It's mixed perfectly and has been put together this way on purpose. It's the best album of the year, and could be up there for the best of the decade. Songs to download. An Ocean Between Two Waves, Red Eyes, Under the Pressure, Suffering

What do we have here? A brand spanking new Jose Gonzalez album coming out in 2015. Vegas odds have put this as Hosehead's album of the year at 3-1.
NBA season is about to begin. Entered a NBA fantasy draft. I thought I was knowledgeable in basketball until I entered this draft. I drafted a few players that could have been inmates at Alcatraz earlier in this century. Also Anthony Davis is an absolute monster in every way. That includes that he looks like a monster with his giant uni-brow.
Gotham is OK. Sometimes I don't enjoy things that are just ok. If I wanted just ok I would eat tapioca pudding for dessert and have a marathon of Friends going.
Went to Gilt last night for dinner. This is a new Tapas (but can't be describe as just tapas; because they don't specialize in just Spanish food.) They call it sharing food. It was terrific. All local food, that had a flair for being different with each and every plate. If you would like somewhere to go for a beer and a couple of plates of sharing food. Try it out. Sharing food sounds like it's something made up by your parents because you are a dick of a sibling and you don't share with your brothers and sisters.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - 8.5/10
Do you know who should be put in a headlock and nuggied? People that buy concert tickets to just make a profit. $125.00 a ticket to see Caribou?
Mr. Clean has a new product out. It has a squeeze cap so you never use too much cleaning liquid. Are we this dumb? "Oh damn, used half of the container of cleaning liquid again. If only I had a cleaning shot glass that could tell me how much cleaner to use." Bam bah da bum, the bald guy that looks like he just got out of the naval service from 1956 shows up at my door.
Skrillex had a concert recently. Is it called a concert? 14 people in their late teens and early 20's were taken to hospital with drug overdoses. Sorry, this realm of music has really shitty fans. Learn how to do drugs properly. See that guy over there with the pipe and the big beard sitting on the grass with sunglasses on? That's how you party.
The Flaming Lips released an album with many people that is a tribute to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Review will be soon. Need to prepare for an album like that.
Iggy Azelea was on SNL recently. I caught the whole performance. This really isn't worth the wear and tear of the keyboard of my laptop.
Top 3 situations where you require a monitor at home while just sitting on the couch at 10:32pm.
3) Falling asleep on the couch sitting up with your head back and having your own saliva going down the wrong way and starting to cough. Confused and startled is the result.
2) Remote falling off of the couch, but my hand is stuck in the chip bag. While trying not to allow the remote to hit the ground the chips go all over the floor.
1) The wine glass that is on the edge of the table. You put it down while not looking up from your computer. You don't realize the terror that could ensue.
The Jays lost the only coach that looked like he knew what he was doing. Kevin Seitzer has left for greener pastures of a team that struck out more then any other team in the MLB this year. Gibby what do you think about this? "If you can't cut the grass without just your hands. You have lost your way." Thanks for putting everything into perspective Gibby.
What's the age that trick or treating becomes morally wrong? I always thought it was about 13. Probably the rule of thumb is that if you have had a job before you can't trick or treat. There maybe a few mid twenty's people out there dressed up as Destiny characters I guess if we go by that rule.

If you can't get behind the KC Royals in the Major League Baseball world then you don't have a sports soul. They represent everything great about sports. Building within the organization, making major trades instead of signings to solidify things, and play a smart brand of baseball. This shows that you can build it from within and don't have to have millions and millions of dollars spent on free agents.
Sara and I went to a lobster meal at McMullen's yesterday. Eating lobster with a bunch of strangers at the same table is dangerous when you have no idea what you are doing. I am sure they were sprayed by butter multiple times, but pretended that they weren't blinded by a shot of butter to the eye.
Wish I Was Here - 5.9/10
22 Jump Street - 8.3/10
Wish I Was Here was the long awaited follow up to Garden State by Zach Braff. He has fallen out of touch with the what's needed to make a film hip. I know it's hard to stay cool Zach. You have to know that you are hip, but can't act like it. It's confusing.
Sara and I booked our trip to Portugal. Hearing about her trip through Spain made me think that I would probably really enjoy that trip. With the goodness of her heart she booked a trip for us very similar to what she already did so I can experience a small taste of it. I am sure I didn't have to twist her rubber arm all that much with it being half price and knowing what Portugal had to offer for food and wine though.
Sliding into second base in a championship game in slopitch still isn't worth it. The injury is in the exact spot where your knees bend. You feel that? It's hard to bend down without bending your knees. So if you see me laying down doing something. It's not because I am lazy. It's because I am stupid and slid in a slopitch game.
Cruises have come a long way. I haven't been on one, but have been described what it's all about. We went to Bingeman's to get some knowledge on exactly what cruises can offer us. Celebrity Cruises has a level on their ship that has real grass where you can play bocce ball and croquet. If you have a cabin that doesn't have a balcony there is a screen that shows a video of what's going on outside so it's not dark constantly in your room. We were always worried that we would run out of things to do. The technology and entertainment makes it look like this would probably never happen. It also looks very dangerous with having a bracelet that swipes to order drinks.
We are always looking for witty ideas for costumes. The more we look, the dirtier the costumes become. Only you know why you wear the costumes that you do. If you want to be a female Mario from the Mario video games that for some reason has massive cleavage and uses the plunger for other reasons then just for plumbing. You go right ahead this is the night that no one judges.
Oktoberfest just passed. We won tickets to two events. We took part in the free breakfast. We were in the same park searching for a key at 6:30am that the $3,000 prize was found. We drank Oktoberfest inspired beers. Our non-German heritage spilled out of us for one week. Your clothes and food are still shitty though.
Was pressed to get away from my usual cookbook this week by Sara. Made a Beef Korma Udon Noodle dish, Duck Egg Omelet, and wine and herb salmon with sauteed leeks. Sara has mastered selling me on making her foods while making me believe that I was the one that came up with the idea.
There should be something built into us that allows us to fly for 1 minute at any point of our existence. You can use it any point, but once it's gone it's gone. Most people would use it to get chips while high on a Saturday night.
When you don't know that there is a zombie walk going on in the city, and only see one person that appears to be a lady with smeared lipstick smoking a cigarette while crossing the road in downtown Kitchener is scary and confusing.
If you don't know how to stop why do you skate as fast as possible and slam into the boards? Seems like taking it slow would be the better decision.

Wish I Was Here was the long awaited follow up to Garden State by Zach Braff. He has fallen out of touch with the what's needed to make a film hip. I know it's hard to stay cool Zach. You have to know that you are hip, but can't act like it. It's confusing.
Sara and I booked our trip to Portugal. Hearing about her trip through Spain made me think that I would probably really enjoy that trip. With the goodness of her heart she booked a trip for us very similar to what she already did so I can experience a small taste of it. I am sure I didn't have to twist her rubber arm all that much with it being half price and knowing what Portugal had to offer for food and wine though.
Sliding into second base in a championship game in slopitch still isn't worth it. The injury is in the exact spot where your knees bend. You feel that? It's hard to bend down without bending your knees. So if you see me laying down doing something. It's not because I am lazy. It's because I am stupid and slid in a slopitch game.
Cruises have come a long way. I haven't been on one, but have been described what it's all about. We went to Bingeman's to get some knowledge on exactly what cruises can offer us. Celebrity Cruises has a level on their ship that has real grass where you can play bocce ball and croquet. If you have a cabin that doesn't have a balcony there is a screen that shows a video of what's going on outside so it's not dark constantly in your room. We were always worried that we would run out of things to do. The technology and entertainment makes it look like this would probably never happen. It also looks very dangerous with having a bracelet that swipes to order drinks.
We are always looking for witty ideas for costumes. The more we look, the dirtier the costumes become. Only you know why you wear the costumes that you do. If you want to be a female Mario from the Mario video games that for some reason has massive cleavage and uses the plunger for other reasons then just for plumbing. You go right ahead this is the night that no one judges.
Oktoberfest just passed. We won tickets to two events. We took part in the free breakfast. We were in the same park searching for a key at 6:30am that the $3,000 prize was found. We drank Oktoberfest inspired beers. Our non-German heritage spilled out of us for one week. Your clothes and food are still shitty though.
Was pressed to get away from my usual cookbook this week by Sara. Made a Beef Korma Udon Noodle dish, Duck Egg Omelet, and wine and herb salmon with sauteed leeks. Sara has mastered selling me on making her foods while making me believe that I was the one that came up with the idea.
There should be something built into us that allows us to fly for 1 minute at any point of our existence. You can use it any point, but once it's gone it's gone. Most people would use it to get chips while high on a Saturday night.
When you don't know that there is a zombie walk going on in the city, and only see one person that appears to be a lady with smeared lipstick smoking a cigarette while crossing the road in downtown Kitchener is scary and confusing.
If you don't know how to stop why do you skate as fast as possible and slam into the boards? Seems like taking it slow would be the better decision.

Let's talk hockey shall we. No off season strike. No drug suspensions. No problems with the law. Just good old fashioned sports talk. The start of the season where Leaf fans rejoice with how great their team looks in the preseason. Flyer fans just complain that they took away the ladies in the short skirts that clean the ice in Philly. Every team is on a level playing field. One thing that I did notice is that the talent is staying with their current teams. Kane, Toews, Giroux, Getzlaf, and Subban most notably in the past couple of years have stayed with the teams that they were drafted by. Hopefully this trend continues. We don't need any announcements of Sidney taking his talents to south beach. Sid is joining the Panthers?
Where do we begin? Let's start with most improved this year. I think the Islanders have a great shot at getting back to the playoffs. They have brought in an overpriced, but steady Jaroslav Halak, have solidified the back end, and have a healthy John Tavares. They were the runner up. The most improved team and cup contender will be the Dallas Stars. Top to bottom this team is going to be a force to be reckoned with. The acquisition of Jason Spezza, the emergence of Tyler Seguin, and the all around play of Jamie Benn will have this team in the running. I also think Kari Lehtenon can be one of the best if he is able to stay healthy. Their power play should be deadly. They also have one of the best coaches in Lindy Ruff. They should be right there with the Hawks, Kings, Ducks, and Blues. Western Conference just seems to get tougher and tougher.
This might garner some attention, but the team that slides this year is the Colorado Avalanche. Everything went perfect for them last year. Every single young talented player they had developed at the same time. Varlamov played over his head, and Roy was made to look like Punch Imlach. Sorry everything doesn't always go right one year and continue to go right year after year. The talent is there no question. This prediction has a lot to do with them being in the Western Conference and their defense is suspect. They will not fool anyone this year with their style of play and will fall back to earth. I predict them to just sneak into the playoffs or miss it entirely.
Cream of the crop is the Chicago Blackhawks. Their core of players are fantastic. Every player has their role. Toews is a great captain and his supporting cast is the best in the league. Every line can produce at any point and they have more kids that should get better and better. They are so good that they have to trade talent away to teams because they can't fit everybody into the lineup or under their cap. In the East. It's the Montreal Canadiens. It pains me to say this. They have the best goalie in the world. Their top lines keep getting better and better. Their ability to roll four lines is something in the East that only the Bruins can do. They have cut the fat of some of their salaries and they are able to play the talent shift after shift. Subban is going to have a monster year. They could be destined for the cup.
Where do the Leafs sit in all of this? They sit where the Philadelphia Flyers do. Right in the middle of mediocrity. Toronto's first line is excellent. After that though? All it will take is an injury to somebody on that line and they are in big trouble. They didn't shore up their defense. Unless Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner make huge leaps this year they will miss the playoffs once again. As for my Flyers. Kimmo Timonen went down which is a major blow. They dealt the contract and heart of Scott Hartnell away. They need huge years from Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier to stay in the playoffs this year. One positive with being in the East is that it isn't the death match like the West is. You can make the playoffs with a few lucky bounces. This is what the Flyers and Leafs both need to make it there.
Bullet points for the year. Carolina Hurricanes end up with the first pick in the draft. Everybody other then Sid in Pittsburgh struggles to score goals. Columbus Blue Jackets will be the toughest team in the East to play against. Steven Stamkos pots 50 . Vancouver Canucks bounce back and sneak into the 7th spot in the West. Ben Bishop is not as good as we thought. LA Kings will regret not buying out Mike Richards (that's an expensive checking centre.) Cam Ward will be dealt. Buffalo Sabres will start off hot. Matt Duchene will be 5th in scoring. Evgeni Malkin won't be in the top 10. If the Predators are not in the playoff hunt at the trade deadline Shea Weber will be dealt. The Toronto Raptors will be the 4 seed in the Eastern Conference. All the Arizona Coyotes wins will be 2-1. NY Rangers missed their shot at the cup. It will be a long road back. No one in the NHL will be suspended for domestic violence. We will be sick of the Sportnet announcers within the first month of the NHL season.
Stanley Cup Champs - Chicago Blackhawks
2nd to Sidney Crosby in Art Ross - John Tavares
Vezina - Carey Price
Hart - Sidney Crosby
Norris - PK Subban

Playoff baseball is the celery salt to the caesar of my life.
Sex Tape - 2.8/10
I thought that maybe Jason Segal just did this movie for the money. I was going to let him off of the hook. Then the credits come up and there is his name as one of the writers and producers. This is the equivalent to requesting a Nickelback song to the DJ at a buck and doe. Then quietly ripping on the DJ when he plays it.
You know when you could care less about your job when you aren't even pretending to look like you are working anymore. Feet up, on your phone, laid back in a chair that isn't supposed to be in the area that it's in. That's the essence of not giving a fu**.
Hockey season is back this coming week. The mediocrity of the Flyers shall shine this winter.
Went to Bingeman's to the Haunted House yesterday. The actors have a really good time scaring people. It's hard to know how to react when there is a witch getting right in your face talking smack. These people must get punched at least once a Halloween season.
I now understand why my ball coaches became upset with me when they heard that I was out till 4 or 5 in the morning and having to pitch the next morning at around 9am. They believed that the lack of sleep and the alcohol in my system would prevent me from pitching well. Au contraire, this was when I was at my absolute Pink Floyd jean jacket best.
W.A.S.P was a band from the '80s. This is a band that I had to listen to while trying to sleep with my wrestlers as a child. I always felt like there was going to be a scene from Poltergeist coming out of my brothers room as a child.
I have decided to retire the golf clubs for the season. It was a successful year of golf. Would prefer not to ruin it with the vibration of a mishit vibrating 4 iron and then a sip from a $8.00 bud lite.
Sara doesn't fall for the sounds of an aching body sliding on to the couch. I try to sound the most tired and sore that I have ever been to garner attention that will hopefully parlay into a beer or back massage. It rarely works.
If you like the movie Sex Tape you might have to explain yourself in a court of law. Could have been written by small fish in an aquarium in a Chinese Food Restaurant that garnered attention for their lack of cleanliness and were shut down three times this past year.
Went to see Electric Six at the Starlight last week. They always put on a great show. They haven't really had a hit song in a decade. They play a high energy rock funk combination. Sara and I got to meet the lead singer after the show. This is one of the many reasons that I enjoy the small venue shows.
Slo-pitch keeps rolling along for this young man. October co-ed baseball seems like it shouldn't be a thing.
Top 3 things that are inappropriate, but happen unintentionally in dodgeball
3 - You hit a woman with a ball as hard as you can in either the boob or groin. You kind of giggle while making sure they are ok.
2 - The weird arguments about being hit too high. Then the awkwardness of which person is going to go off of the floor.
1 - Coming off of the bench like a bat out of hell after someone catches the ball and whipping it at the person on the other team that is going off that just had their ball caught, but you didn't notice. Then you hit them directly in the side of the head with your 58mph steamer.

Weather was ordered from the penthouse of awesome this past week. This makes the thoughts of angrily looking out the window shaking my fist at clouds a distant memory.
Subconsciously if you have an animal in the name of your band there is more of a chance that I will enjoy your band.
Gambling on people playing video games is a thing. I had no idea until recently. Soon we could start gambling on who people will gamble on while they are gambling on somebody playing a video game.
I find these commercials that come out for video games amusing. We have Sly Stallone talking about how to be a winner and to get back up after getting knocked down in a video game. I know most video games you just have to hit two buttons simultaneously to get back up. Doesn't seem too difficult to me.
Sin City 2 - 7.0/10
It was exactly what I wanted it to be. Basically, same as the first one with different story lines. For the critics that wanted more. Where did you want them to go with it? Eva Green is getting into the zone with her roles lately. She might be the coolest woman in the world right now.
Sara and I did a walk for RARE yesterday. They raised an incredible $33,000. It's a foundation about getting children outside to play again. Stopping all the development in areas where nature is abundant. I think we would be much better off if we didn't build so many McMansion's. "Where am I going to put my two boats and four cars for the two of us that live here though?"
Books are pretty good weapons. I dropped a hard cover on my foot recently. It hurt more then I thought it would.
Person this week told me that she thought that Government had hacked into her toilet and wouldn't allow it to flush anymore. This is the time that we need a bat phone to the looney bin.
How the movies treat Looney Bins is kind of funny to me. "You aren't saying things that make any sense. We are going to put pajamas on you and have you play kids board games."
We all have that person in the family that ruins the night after they lose a game of Monopoly. You know who you are. You are either laughing or getting mad at this. "There goes Uncle Randy. Broken wine glass on the floor, pieces of the game scattered throughout the room. Aunt Ruth, well let's round up the kids." Way to go Uncle Randy. The jello is still left in the fridge.
We managed to beat one of the better coed teams last night. I find that if you are just overbearingly upbeat about your teams performance that it starts to anger the other team. This will throw them off of their game. Try it next time. This body break was brought to you by Hal and Joanne McLeod
When people are running by I still get that need to stick out my foot. I know instantly it would be a mistake and anger pretty much everyone that is around, but it's still an instinct that I have.
Put your hands up if you are watching Once Upon a Time? Now put your hands down. Now put your heads down in shame. That show is a piece of sh**.
Halloween is approaching. For those adults that don't like dressing up. Well, you are boring.
Top 3 worst costumes that I have seen.
3 - The Shocker, for those that know anything about sexual moves. You will know exactly what this is.
2 - White MC Hammer in black face
1 - Will just throw every scandalous super hero woman's $20.00 Party City costume here.

The season has finished up for most teams and should have for others. The first half of this blog will be about the Jays. Second half about the A's.
The Toronto Blue Jays exceeded every one of my expectations. I expected them to be a .500 team. Every player that was in that every day lineup either had better years then were expected or played just as expected. The only exception in my mind is Brett Lawrie. So where did they go wrong? Being up by a bunch of games going into July. When the pitching came back to earth and the injuries began to pile up. This team has just as much talent as the KC Royals and Seattle Mariners. They don't have the excuse of having the play the Red Sox and Yankees so often. They failed to adapt when things started to go wrong.
Unfortunately Mark Beurhle isn't going to have a 2.20 ERA at seasons end. Bautista and Melky aren't going to hit .340 with a .470 OBP. You need to have unexpected people to step up. Well you did have that. Navarro had 70 RBI's and Stroman became their clear cut ace. So where else can we lay the blame? AA not making a move at trade deadline? Well the three that would have made a difference would have been Jeff Samardzija, Jon Lester, or David Price. Any one of those trades would have cost you Stroman, Sanchez or maybe both. So the other options are John Lackey, Ian Kennedy, Bartolo Colon, or Justin Masterson. Are any of those pitchers better then what you already have in your starting 5? Let's look at the hitters that were available. Josh Willingham, Adam Dunn, and Chase Headley. Would any of those hitter make a difference? You don't hear winning teams complaining about the team not making a move. That's what the Jays love to do. The Pirates stood pat. They had confidence in what they had to get it done. The team that made the most moves almost cost themselves a playoff birth. When you complain about the team not making moves. You are only saying that you don't have the confidence that you can do it with the group that you have.
The future is bright in Toronto. We witnessed a peak into the future starting rotation. If they get back a healthy Lawrie and can resign Melky they will be just fine. You can always retool the bullpen. I thought they had a two year window with the trades that they made, but after seeing all the pitching talent coming up I think they will be fine. Behind the bench is their obvious weakness. AA unfortunately is hedging his bets with Gibbons. If the Jays get off to a slow start he can fire him. If he fires him in the off-season, and they get off to a slow start he might be on the chopping block. Hopefully AA will give a call to Ron Washington to gauge his interest. That's the only real move he needs to make. So I sit here confused. I look at the stats of this team and realize that they should have been right there in the wild card hunt. They did play some meaningful games into September. I guess that's a start. I just look at what Clint Hurdle, Buck Showalter, and Mike Matheny are able to do with similar talent and think that if the Jays just had a manager.
My beloved A's. What the hell happened? You can blame the Cespedes for Lester trade all that you want. It's not just that. This team was cruising. Everything was firing on all cylinders. It looked like another one of those years. The Angels overpay for a bunch of free agents and are a bust. The Rangers who might have the worst management in the league make some awful deals and have a bunch of injuries and can't compete. The Mariners are the Mariners, and then you have the Astros. Then all of a sudden the Angels become who I thought they would be three years ago. All of the Mariners pitching prospects blossom at once. Watch out for this team for the next few years. The A's are the prototypical idea of you don't mess with chemistry. When you have the best record in baseball do you trade your best prospect and cleanup hitter away for two aces that might put you over the hump? He took a chance and it looks like it backfired. Now they still made the playoffs, but if you have been watching any games recently....
If they do manage to get past the Royals in the Wild Card game they will have the Angels sitting there waiting for them. One thing that I do know about baseball winners in the past. Pitching rarely goes cold. The A's have the best 5 in the majors. If they can get just enough hitting they can do some damage. Lester has won big games before. That experience might be necessary. The A's have tried the past two years with identical lineups and couldn't get by the Tigers. So do you go at them again with exactly the same thing? I understood Beane's philosophy. He knew that Cespedes would get huge money after next year. He cleaned out the prospect closet with the Cubs trade. It's a tough call. If they blow it in the wild card game it will go down as two terrible trades. If they end up getting past the Royals and start to get hot? This team has put too many expectations on themselves. They play quite a bit better when they have that underdog identity. If you look at that lineup they are still a bunch of hitters off of the scrap heap of other major league teams with Josh Donaldson being the exception.
The American League is wide open this year. The Angels lost Garret Richards for the year and are really relying heavily on a 87 MPH Jared Weaver fastball. The Tigers have a great lineup, but their pitching even after the trades looks suspect past Scherzer and Price. Their bullpen is probably the worst of all the playoff teams. The Orioles? Their lineup is murderers row, but who are these guys that are pitching? Buck Showalter should win manager of the year. There is no clear cut favourite. It should be a fantastic playoff this year. It will be a couple of stressful days for me with the Pirates and A's both playing in the Wild Card games. It's been an exceptional year of baseball. One of the best that I can remember. Just a little off topic, but what were they putting into our drinks that we didn't realize they were taking steroids when they were putting up 70 HR's in a year?

You can always retool the bullpen. I thought they had a two year window with the trades that they made, but after seeing all the pitching talent coming up I think they will be fine. Behind the bench is their obvious weakness. AA unfortunately is hedging his bets with Gibbons. If the Jays get off to a slow start he can fire him. If he fires him in the off-season, and they get off to a slow start he might be on the chopping block. Hopefully AA will give a call to Ron Washington to gauge his interest. That's the only real move he needs to make. So I sit here confused. I look at the stats of this team and realize that they should have been right there in the wild card hunt. They did play some meaningful games into September. I guess that's a start. I just look at what Clint Hurdle, Buck Showalter, and Mike Matheny are able to do with similar talent and think that if the Jays just had a manager.
My beloved A's. What the hell happened? You can blame the Cespedes for Lester trade all that you want. It's not just that. This team was cruising. Everything was firing on all cylinders. It looked like another one of those years. The Angels overpay for a bunch of free agents and are a bust. The Rangers who might have the worst management in the league make some awful deals and have a bunch of injuries and can't compete. The Mariners are the Mariners, and then you have the Astros. Then all of a sudden the Angels become who I thought they would be three years ago. All of the Mariners pitching prospects blossom at once. Watch out for this team for the next few years. The A's are the prototypical idea of you don't mess with chemistry. When you have the best record in baseball do you trade your best prospect and cleanup hitter away for two aces that might put you over the hump? He took a chance and it looks like it backfired. Now they still made the playoffs, but if you have been watching any games recently....
If they do manage to get past the Royals in the Wild Card game they will have the Angels sitting there waiting for them. One thing that I do know about baseball winners in the past. Pitching rarely goes cold. The A's have the best 5 in the majors. If they can get just enough hitting they can do some damage. Lester has won big games before. That experience might be necessary. The A's have tried the past two years with identical lineups and couldn't get by the Tigers. So do you go at them again with exactly the same thing? I understood Beane's philosophy. He knew that Cespedes would get huge money after next year. He cleaned out the prospect closet with the Cubs trade. It's a tough call. If they blow it in the wild card game it will go down as two terrible trades. If they end up getting past the Royals and start to get hot? This team has put too many expectations on themselves. They play quite a bit better when they have that underdog identity. If you look at that lineup they are still a bunch of hitters off of the scrap heap of other major league teams with Josh Donaldson being the exception.
The American League is wide open this year. The Angels lost Garret Richards for the year and are really relying heavily on a 87 MPH Jared Weaver fastball. The Tigers have a great lineup, but their pitching even after the trades looks suspect past Scherzer and Price. Their bullpen is probably the worst of all the playoff teams. The Orioles? Their lineup is murderers row, but who are these guys that are pitching? Buck Showalter should win manager of the year. There is no clear cut favourite. It should be a fantastic playoff this year. It will be a couple of stressful days for me with the Pirates and A's both playing in the Wild Card games. It's been an exceptional year of baseball. One of the best that I can remember. Just a little off topic, but what were they putting into our drinks that we didn't realize they were taking steroids when they were putting up 70 HR's in a year?

Started to play Dodgeball on Monday nights. You have these wonderful memories. Diving, ducking, and throwing the ball with such grace. The new reality is. Out of breath, hurting your arm, and pouring sweat from every possible area of your body is the new reality. It's still a great time, but it comes with old man consequences.
Just returned from a wonderful weekend. Wedding of two wonderful people. They had an absolute gorgeous scene of a winery on the lake. The most memorable part was when a strong gust of wind took all of the papers and blew them all over the property. The marriage certificate flew into a branch of a tree and was retrieved by a guest that received the prize of plants stuck all over him when he came back.
Sara and I had a cottage rented for the weekend as well. Making the most of the weekend, we also purchased the food and wine tasting pass. Duck Poutine, cranberry and stuffing crammed into turkey meatballs, and bison stew were the highlights. Kacaba once again shined with the Duck Poutine and multiple tastings of their award winning wines. If you haven't been there yet and enjoy wine, then well, you are a bad person.
Lucky Them - 8.3/10
The Signal - 6.8/10
Interpol is back with a new album. They have finally gotten back to the mood music that made them so amazing early in their careers. The tones and guitars are loud and in abundance here. Check it out. 8.1/10
There isn't anything more frustrating then pouring cereal into a bowl and having no milk. Sometimes I leave the cereal in the bowl. I get so mad at the cereal when this happens. "Where did the milk go you stupid bee?"
Angry drunks are unpredictable. With each drink they should have to have an Earl Grey Tea. Nobody is mad after drinking Earl Grey Tea.
Seeing somebody wearing the complete horse riding gear and riding a giant horse makes me want to avoid conversation with them. For some reason I think they are going to be either boring or racist, or maybe both. A boring racist is a terrible combination.
German medicines and Mexican Soda were being sold at a variety store in Virgil that was owned by an Asian man. What does German medicine even mean? Maybe if you are sick they just give you Black Forest Cake.
The most difficult part of my day yesterday was having to drive by Silversmith brewery without stopping. It felt like a scene in a movie when a grown man is driving by the ice cream stand that he had such great memories of as a child. Tears soaked his alcohol stained suit jacket as Phil Collins belts out Against all Odds.
Where do squirrels find all of these nuts? I have never seen one nut just lying on the ground. This would be an awful documentary, but I feel as though that it needs to be made.
Top 3 Things that happen at the Tim Horton's drive thru that anger people.
3 - Person in front of you had a giant order that is taking at least 6 minutes to come out.
2 - Throwing their empty coffee cup into the recycle bin. It hits the edge then somehow ends up on the ground. You must then unhook your seat belt and reach out of the car. Or you can be the douchebag that leaves his garbage on the ground. The person right behind you is judging you regardless.
1 - Frozen window
One thing that I have finally developed. The respect of my peers when I wear Converse shoes to weddings. I was graciously accepted. I thank you all for that.

In Men's slo-pitch we finished the regular season undefeated. 15-0, if you would like to come support your local Go Balls Deep team we will be showing off our skills at the Ice Park in Cambridge tomorrow night. We will be signing empties and cigarette packs after the game as well. There are a few of the guys that don't mind signing cleavage as well. Male or female, doesn't matter.
Edge of Tomorrow - 8.2/10
X-Men - Days of Future Past - 9.2/10
Two terrific movies. Really enjoyed watching Tom Cruise get killed over and over again. Some brilliantly shot scenes in the new X-Men. Marvel has got the comic book movies mastered. I just envision a room in a basement of a bunch of males and females debating episode 38 of the X-Men comic book. Bowls of cheesies, empty cans of red bull, and two action figures battling. Old school gaming console would be in there with the limited edition of Ninja Gaiden 16 bit styles.
There are many fine breweries in Southern Ontario. Walk into your local LCBO and just start grabbing random tall boys. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Even just by the names of the cans. Hop City now has a beer called Robot IPA. Railway City has one called the "Witty" Traveller. Blah, blah, blah hipster. Try some different beers.
There was a time in my life that I only drank Budweiser. There was also a time that I only listened to Limp Bizkit and Korn. I have worn terrible clothing, had a mullet, and rocked rapist glasses. These are the burdens that I must carry.
Sara is home, her work bought her flowers and put up streamers in the office. You never realize how valuable Wayne Gretzky is to your team until you have traded him for Jimmy Carson.
Calgary has snow. I am not ready for this to happen. Winter is like that super old man down the cereal aisle that is taking up the whole aisle with his walker. You just want to grab the Honey Nut Cheerios, but he is directly in front of it. He has been looking at the ingredients of Shredded Wheat for at least three minutes. You have said excuse me, but he either didn't hear you or he is grumpy. Now you must wait it out.
What do you think teachers that teach marketing do? See what they did there? That sold really well. Copy that.
People that are massage therapists have it tough. I am sure that their significant other expects massages all the time. It's like somebody that is a chef. If you come home with McDonald's, your wife or husband will have that "What the Fu**" all over their face.
There should be a once in a lifetime opportunity to be put into a serious sporting situation. Like if you win a lottery of some sort. You could be put into the run a 4th and 1 with the game on the line. "Here comes Daryl Smith to run this short yardage play with Green Bays season on the line. The crowd is booing him. Why would they ever make a lottery like this? Oh, and he is stuffed. His leg looks broken."
The Oakland A's are falling apart. It's difficult to watch the team right now. Every situation they are in they look tentative. It's almost to the point of being uncomfortable. It's like every episode of the British Office.
Sometimes it's frustrating when people don't understand sports. Like they don't know how difficult it is to making a jump, spin, and throw to get somebody out. Yes, that's my specialty. I guess it's the same way when someone takes a really good photo and shows it to me. "Look at the colour definition and abstract look of this photo." "I like the last one with the cat in the box instead of it's bed."
Top 3 professions that I could not date that's not the obvious.
3 - Personal Trainer - Every time that I ate chips I would feel bad
2 - Psychiatrist - I don't want to lay down on the damn couch
1 - Sales person - Two sales people in one house. A lot of talk, without anything ever getting done.

When arriving in a limo to wineries and breweries you kind of feel like you need to be extremely nice so that people won't detest you for showing up in a limo.
Sara is back in less then a week. I have never lived alone for any amount of time. It's going to be very strange to have somebody in the house again. It should prevent me from talking to myself. One thing I noticed is that I am a genius when there is nobody to debate me on anything.
There are things that are in my house that I can't believe were purchased. None more stupid then buying fur from Fabricland without knowing how to sew. I just thought I would sit down at a sewing machine and it would come to me to know how to sew a Teen Wolf costume.
Put a cork screw through a screw top wine bottle last week. Not once, but twice.
The Double - 7.5/10 - Jesse Eisenberg has a doppleganger that is nothing like him. Looks like Terry Gillian should have directed this..
The Fault in our Stars - 7.8/10 - Not your typical cancer movie. Smartly written, drags on a bit at the end.
People that buy tickets to just make a profit on Stub Hub should be forced to answer a question about the artist or sporting event that they are attending. Or maybe it should be illegal to sell tickets for a certain percentage over retail? War on Drugs tickets retailed for $26.00. They are selling on Stub Hub for $152.32.
Met an old man last week that would win the award for the angriest looking old man of the year award.
Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, and many other celebrities has their phones hacked and had pictures put up online that were not meant to be online. I know that this is an injustice, and that this shouldn't happen. The old adage has to be spoken again though. If you are famous, and you don't want the masses to see particular photos of you, don't put them anywhere in the digital universe.
Back to school is today. Going through my Facebook feed I see a bunch of people that I know are going back to school. I couldn't even imagine.
There is only one profession that I can tell what somebody does for a living by just talking to them at work for five minutes. It's a teacher. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is that you ask the most questions out of anybody on the face of the earth about a flash drive.
I wouldn't work for Skeletor. I don't think I could handle his voice for any particular amount of time.
Jim Jefferies is a funny guy. Watched his Netflix special recently. It kept me entertained, and it was quoted multiple times over the weekend. You did well my friend.
If Toronto gets another NHL team. How much would you pay to see the second Toronto team win the cup before the Leafs?
Were at a Bachelor party this past weekend in Niagara. We stopped at a winery where the groom to be was receiving some advice from old married men. If you were to Google every old man joke about marriage the top 5 were stated.

Jehovah's Witnesses at my door. I tried to tell them that I don't want no more. They wouldn't stop knocking until their hands were sore. I asked them if they have ever seen Religulous before?
Shot 77 at River Edge golf course in Kitchener. Best round of my lengthy and mediocre golf career.
People give you weird looks when you are hiking alone with a set of headphones in. It's pretty shitty that you can't go for a hike unless you have another person or a dog without getting eyeballed like you are going to vandalize somebody's property.
"Your child will hate you if you buy them that computer for school." These words I told a client while they were attempting to purchase a $329.99 laptop for an Engineering course.
The Amazing Spiderman 2 - 3.5/10
Spiderman 2 seemed to be caught in the middle of writing for kids and writing for adults. You need to pick one way or another. Most Marvel flicks have the perfect recipe. Write for 20-40 year old adults, and keep it just PG enough for kids to be able to see it in theater.
Found my weakness at running. Tried to run up a toboggan hill 3 times and it almost killed me.
Toronto Blue Jays are the Internet Explorer of the Playoff race. Everybody else is turning it up a notch, and John Gibbons is just eating paste in the dugout.
Cut off blue jeans on men? Cut off blue jeans on women!!!!
November Rain as a wedding song is a tough one. If you have a DJ that doesn't know the song well you will be up there for a good eight minutes with a two minute guitar solo. That's a long time to dance in front of Aunt Phyllis while she is snapping pictures with her disposable flash camera that was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart in 2005 when she purchased three. One for each one of her nephews marriages.
If you asked me to make you mesquite chicken I wouldn't know how to do it. There have been times that I have told dates in the past that this was my absolute masterpiece dish that I could make.
Got mad at my car door for closing on my leg when I was looking for change.
The majority of my friends would go on a date with Katherine Heigl. The majority of my friends would leave in the middle of the date after finding out how much she sucks. There would be a small group that would see if they could get into her pants first. If this was no longer an option they would then leave.
If I just had dental work done and was bandaged up with a frozen mouth, I would still attempt to eat chips if you put them out.
It's tough to complain about people raising money for charity. This ice bucket challenge is everywhere. Maybe we can continue with it while raising money for another charity?
Faith No More - The Real Thing is a strictly guilty pleasure of mine. It's like a bag of cheesies after eating a salmon filet with rice, and spinach salad.

There is an evil side to Daryl Smith. This side comes out when he is asked to do work while hungry.
At one point there was a strip club in Cambridge. It was called the Mirage. They had one of the best billboards in history. It stated the following. "Snapper is free, shrimp is not." Classy!
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 9.1/10
Chef: 8.8/10
Two wonderful movies. Chef was an unexpected gem. Smart script and feel good story. Two things that I enjoy in films. If you don't have a mixture of hunger and happiness by the end of this movie you are not human.
Can't even watch the Jays right now. When you look at the stats of the guys that are supposed to be producing. They are all in line or above what they usually do, and they are still no closer to a playoff position.
Sometimes while dreaming about having my long hair back I think about how great it looks in the wind. The wavy locks of a formidable man. When I actually look in the mirror I look like I have just worn a helmet on my head for two hours.
License plate renewal = we need some money from you for no apparent reason.
Most times when I see sport commercials I get a little fired up. Under Armour, Reebok, and Nike generally do a great job. Steven Stamkos commercial. "Be better then a video game." I would like to look right into the eyes of the person that created this commercial and say. "You are dumb."
Fantasy Football draft time, the most important two weeks of the year for gambling junkies.
If you would like to see me get riled up tell me that Blind Melon is a one hit wonder.
Corey Conners is a golfer from my hometown. He lost in the finals of the US Amateur Final. We have a lot of talent coming out of this little town. Jared Keeso who stars in the Letterkenny YouTube videos is also from this golden nugget of Ontario. Now if they would just get a Swiss Chalet. Seriously, how long can you talk about a restaurant without it actually being there?
When you tell me that you enjoy country music. Everything that you tell me musically related for the rest of your life will sound like the Charlie Brown teachers voice.
This summer is kind of like that bully in public school. Looks like the coast is clear when you are sitting inside your house. You then make golf plans, go outside to your car and the clouds roll in. Or in the case of the bully. He kicks you in the balls.
I sing a song when going to cupboard to get chips. Chips, chips, chips. It's kind of in that hockey tone.
Coming off of the mound after a big strikeout my famous move was the fast fist pump.
Did you know that you can order the WWE channel for $11.00 a month? I am not sure if this is a joke or if people are actually ordering this?

What a beautiful park Comerica is. It has a definite Fenway feel when you are walking around. They are trying to get that classic park feel. All the while the Toronto Blue Jays play in a Costco warehouse.
You understand the issues of Detroit only by walking around. 50% of the houses are condemned. The houses that are condemned are giant once beautiful old school houses. It's sad to see the decay of the city.
Found out recently that when people thought the world was going to end in 2012 that the most popular meal being eaten was Chicken McNuggets. They would order 20 nuggets and eat them all to themselves. Wonder what a McNugget hangover feels like. Maybe it's a clown slapping your gut constantly until you throw up.
Snowpiercer -7.2/10
Draft Day - 6.5/10
Bad Words 6.8/10
Draft Day is a fairly good premise if you don't know anything about football. Kevin Costner makes the worst trade in football history and somehow snows the team on the 2nd worst trade in football history.
It's surprising that more people don't grow evil moustaches. You know that thin moustache above your lip.
Met and had a picture with Chris Chelios. He was selling his signed equipment and pictures at his restaurant. I was thinking that it's pretty cool that he showed up to his restaurant on Wednesday night. Then I saw that he was pimping himself out and didn't think it was quite as cool anymore.
The fact that you are able to smoke still indoors in some parts of the States is shocking to me. It's actually even more shocking that we didn't ban it in Canada until about 15 years ago.
One thing that us nerd types are very good at is finding a movie that we love and posting so much stuff about it that only we want to talk about 6 months from now. Guardians of the Galaxy you are up.
Top 3 times where you can order a salad as a man and still feel like a man.
3 - Hungover
2 - Overweight
1 - Actually there is only two
I am still not great at dealing with people asking for money. Sometimes I go with the pretending they don't exist. Sometimes I say I don't have any change, and sometimes I will reach into my pocket feel change, but pretend I don't. I do give money the odd time to people playing instruments. Respect!
What's the phobia called when you are afraid of brown khaki pants?
I don't usually react to celebrity deaths at all. I don't know the people and of course I enjoy their work, but in the end it doesn't affect me personally. The Robin Williams death was one of the few that hit me a little bit. His body of work and his sense of humor was like no other. Talented and versatile, he will be missed.
It takes a certain type of personality to be good at poker. You need to be straight faced, calm, cool, collected. If you have ever seen me play poker then you know I have none of these qualities and am an awful poker player. I make noises when I get good cards as well.
Is there an actual half finished Robocop statue in Detroit? Or is this just a rumour? It's a brilliant rumour to make up.
FanExpo is coming up or has already passed. I am surprised that they don't tag your ear and brand you when you come through the gates.
Running to Classical music is amazing. It gives you the rhythm to run without becoming out of breath. Running to Nirvana, well let's just say I need a lot more breaks.
I can still do the splits. After all these years it can still be done. One of these times though it's going to end horribly at first base when I attempt it.
I top out at 58mph and my arm hurts today.
You understand the issues of Detroit only by walking around. 50% of the houses are condemned. The houses that are condemned are giant once beautiful old school houses. It's sad to see the decay of the city.
Found out recently that when people thought the world was going to end in 2012 that the most popular meal being eaten was Chicken McNuggets. They would order 20 nuggets and eat them all to themselves. Wonder what a McNugget hangover feels like. Maybe it's a clown slapping your gut constantly until you throw up.
Snowpiercer -7.2/10
Draft Day - 6.5/10
Bad Words 6.8/10
Draft Day is a fairly good premise if you don't know anything about football. Kevin Costner makes the worst trade in football history and somehow snows the team on the 2nd worst trade in football history.
It's surprising that more people don't grow evil moustaches. You know that thin moustache above your lip.
Met and had a picture with Chris Chelios. He was selling his signed equipment and pictures at his restaurant. I was thinking that it's pretty cool that he showed up to his restaurant on Wednesday night. Then I saw that he was pimping himself out and didn't think it was quite as cool anymore.
The fact that you are able to smoke still indoors in some parts of the States is shocking to me. It's actually even more shocking that we didn't ban it in Canada until about 15 years ago.
One thing that us nerd types are very good at is finding a movie that we love and posting so much stuff about it that only we want to talk about 6 months from now. Guardians of the Galaxy you are up.
Top 3 times where you can order a salad as a man and still feel like a man.
3 - Hungover
2 - Overweight
1 - Actually there is only two
I am still not great at dealing with people asking for money. Sometimes I go with the pretending they don't exist. Sometimes I say I don't have any change, and sometimes I will reach into my pocket feel change, but pretend I don't. I do give money the odd time to people playing instruments. Respect!
What's the phobia called when you are afraid of brown khaki pants?
I don't usually react to celebrity deaths at all. I don't know the people and of course I enjoy their work, but in the end it doesn't affect me personally. The Robin Williams death was one of the few that hit me a little bit. His body of work and his sense of humor was like no other. Talented and versatile, he will be missed.

How is Sara doing? What your wife is doing is absolutely amazing. How did she get the time off to do this? Why didn't you go with her? Aren't you worried about her? She is an incredible woman. She looks great. In the end it's nice to feel proud about your wife. Her accomplishments, goals, and aspirations. There is no question that all these things are absolutely true.
It's a tough mental battle to have a wife that's like no other. It's almost like dating a celebrity. I understand that she's an inspiration to pretty much everyone that is looking to travel. Sara does an awful lot of research and puts endless hours of thought into each and every trip. People don't see that side of it. They see that she is in Spain with a small little back pack and don't really understand how she got there. This is where I come in. The man behind the scenes sending packages, driving hours and hours to get her where she needs to be. Picking her up from the bus station at 4:45am. While working a full time job and a part time DJ gig. Also training for a half marathon, writing a script, and trying to stay as positive as possible each and every minute of each and every day.
It's not an easy gig. You don't have anybody to talk to about what's going on with you. Nobody to come home to, and nobody to cook dinners for and enjoy wine with. People that you see ask about your wife and want to know all about her and what she is doing. You feel selfish for giving short answers the odd time. I know that what she is doing is incredible. In the end the isolation is probably good for my soul. I know what I am capable of handling. I push myself mentally further then ever before. It's odd how much you grow when things change within the household. It's something that I haven't been through for years. The last time this happened I was extremely sick and couldn't really focus on anything other then getting better. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I don't always need to have my head in the clouds and have these giant dreams. You stop doing some of the smaller things that might be important to yourself and to other people. Most people can't afford to go to Spain. They might rely on you for the conversation during your weekly coffee. It's nothing for you, and you don't even think about it again. To them though it could be the mental break that they need.
One thing that I have learned from this experience is that sometimes what you do daily might seem unimportant. It doesn't look glossy on Facebook. You might take your niece out to the park. Learn a new skill. Going to the gym. These all seem like small things that you are doing, but shouldn't go unnoticed. The pay per view events will always take precedence in what's going to be talked about. Just don't think that you aren't doing anything useful if you are just setting smaller goals for yourself. The little things in life are going to be the bulk of your life. Enjoy that glass of wine and take pride in running three miles at eight miles an hour (that was for me.) When you witness somebody doing something to better themselves or somebody else take notice and compliment them on it.

First things first. Guardians of the Galaxy - 9.8/10
This movie is the best of the year so far. It has a fantastic script and every single minute of the movie is jam packed with smart entertainment. A+++++++++
Sara has decided to use her last month to hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain. It will be 30 days of gorgeous scenery, tasty wine, and hopefully meeting amazing people. If you would like a glimpse into what she is doing you can do a couple of things. Follow her YouTube videos and watch the movie The Way.
Had my 36th birthday this past weekend. We decided to head downtown London for some karaoke nonsense. We were all dressed in what can be best described as Celebrity Rehab characters. It was overall a good time. The dude that hosted the karaoke event didn't like being showed up by a spirited crew. He locked down our chances to sing and allowed all of his buddies to sing. He cutoff songs early and was basically the fun police to keep the bar in a mediocre melancholy state.
Was invited to a wedding as well on the Friday. It was gorgeous. Beautiful weather, and an energetic dancing crew of family. Great time had by all.
Expendables 3 - 6.7/10
The Den - 5.7/10
There is always that feeling that anybody that took martial arts at a young age was always going to be like Van Damme when they got into school fights. They were going to knock out the school bully with a round house kick to his giant cranium. This never happened.
A's and Tigers are loading up for the playoffs. It was so weird to see an actual baseball trade. Lester and Gomes to the A's for Cespedes. These are players that are very important and not in the minor leagues. What is going on?
Spoon and Bear in Heaven both have albums out this week. I will be reviewing shortly.
I am not sure how anybody wears wife beaters. I wore one out to be Right Said Fred on the weekend. I was always concerned with openness of my arm pit and the amount of dancing that I was doing was going to cause air corruption.
The Jays stood pat at the trade deadline. It's a little frustrating, but if you couldn't get Lester or Price, why overpay for Bartolo Colon or Ian Kennedy?
There are two types of people at sporting events. Ones that know the game well, are relaxed, and know the right time to clap for the team to succeed. The others are Americans.
Why would you ever make a cup that isn't dishwasher ready and is too skinny to fit your hand into?
While growing up I can't believe that it never donned on me that old video game systems would be worth money.
Off to Detroit next week to see a couple of games at Comerica. It goes with my system of seeing aces whenever I can. Since the Tigers have Price, Verlander, Scherzer, and Sanchez there is a good chance that I might see a couple of aces.
Things are a lot easier in golf when you don't swing as hard as humanly possible at every single golf ball.
Afternoon naps are more and more brilliant each and every day that I live.
There are things that are inevitable while working retail. Having a Croatian man having extremely uncomfortable conversations with every single person that works there is one of them.

The Jays seem to play much better when I write a blog ripping on them. Doesn't John Gibbons seem like he should be going out to pull pitcher in an old timey night gown, sleeping cap, and a lantern. Similar to Scrooge from the Christmas Carol.
I always want to call Scrooge from the Christmas Carol Scrooge McDuck.
Boots and Hearts is a country music festival that lasts five days. Most people can't shower and you can't move your car once you are in there. Water is expensive and so is food. People pay $300 dollars or more for tickets to this event. Now that I have described nearly the worst thing on earth to you I can continue my day.
Played Rebel Creek today. Absolutely gorgeous. Might be the best course that I have played. It was a birthday gift from my Father and I beat him by one stroke. There's nothing like beating your old man at his favourite pastime.
Divergent - 6.7/10
Kitchener has opened a board game tavern recently. I believe it's on Ontario St. Why does anybody that doesn't play board games always assume that it's just 100 people there playing Monopoly and Risk. There were more then two board games invented.
Top 3 reasons to hold in gas.
3 - You are in an area that is quiet and you are not sure that it's going to be quiet enough not to be a disruption.
2 - You believe that it's going to smell awful and don't want to draw attention to yourself.
1 - You are not confident that it will just be gas.
From the age of 2 to your death. Your having to go pee dance will always be the same.
I have ridden a horse in Venezuela. I did not look nearly as graceful as the movies that I watch. I think that I look similar to monkey that is placed on a dog while the dog is running. I have no idea why I am up here and how to slow this creature down if need be.
Marcus Stroman starts any type of game 1 for Toronto if they make any type of playoff game. He's a difference maker. You know exactly what you are going to get from Dickey and Beurhle.
I have heard stories about guests getting into fights at people's weddings. You have to be pretty shitty to fight somebody at a wedding that you are invited to.
Sin City just seems like one of those movies that should only be made once. Kind of like 300.
Expendables 3 is available on the internet to those that are savvy with all things that are online. It's not even available in theaters yet. Rocky and Drago are rumoured to be going out in costume to people's houses and challenging them to boxing matches if downloaded. Apollo just dances.
I have never been called a beefcake before. I was called a beefcake by a 75 year old Elizabeth Taylor look a like last week. She also called her son a beautiful ball player which I also enjoyed. These are the types of conversations that I want to be having when I am 75.
86% of people on earth could do a better job running the Leafs over the past ten years then their prior management.
When you stop smoking you become really rusty with lighters. I look like a 6 year old child every time that I try to light candles.
