Final couple of weeks in fantasy football. In 1st in one pool, and tied for 1st in another.

Next couple of months are going to be long at work. Christmas season is hectic in everyway. It's extremely funny to see some salespeople start to meltdown because it's too busy. It reminds of the 2nd Matrix when all the Mr. Smith's are coming at Neo. You can't really tell each person apart and they all want something from you.

Dave Navarro is a very underrated guitarist, check out the song 3 days by jane's addiction if you don't know much by jane's.

TV on the Radio frontman has started a side project called "Rain Machine" the first single is good. It's called "Give Blood"

Flash Forward is the best show on TV right now. Dexter needs an ending I think it's starting to fall into the trap of exploring different story lines, but not really going anywhere.

Adam Lambert kissed a dude on some music award show. And there were 1,300 complaints. I guess this shows that our society hasn't come as far as we thought. It's ok when 2 girls kiss, aka Britney and Madonna, but as soon as it's a dude it automatically becomes taboo. Bullshi*

New Star Trek movie was one of the best I have seen in years. For those that won't watch it due to it being "Star Trek" sorry I pulled you away from watching "Dancing with the Stars."

"My Morning Jacket" was on American Dad with Stan falling in love with the band kind of like Almost Famous style. It wasn't too bad, it was nice to have some advertising for one of my favourite bands.

Doesn't it usually start snowing by now?

People that treat dogs as people freak me out.

I don't think we are very far away from people never leaving their house. I caught a couple people watching video game highlights the other day. This is watching highlights in the third person. That's like somebody watching Madden 10 football highlights first thing in the morning instead of real football.

I would really like the Packers to beat the Lions 52-28 tomorrow.

America doesn't do a lot right, but one thing they do right is Thanksgiving. Having it on Thursday with the rest of the weekend off is genius. Plus 3 football games in one day is fantastic as well.

Even on my Madden NFL 10 game the Oakland Raiders fans are gross. In the stands there is a huge dude with no shirt on chugging beer.

So I finally got my first cold this year. I forgot how much it sucks.

3 new songs for people that enjoy the same type of music as me (you know who you are)

Robert Francis - Nightfall
Cuff the Duke - Promises
The Sheepdogs - I don`t Know

Very disappointed that I can`t see Phoenix in TO. Go see them if you get a chance.

One of the best finishes to a football game on Sunday night. Belichek made a very rash decision going for it on 4th down, but it`s one of the situations if he makes it he`s a genius, if he doesn`t he cost them the game.

Star Trek came out on Bluray and at work I saw a lot of people with it in their hands buying it. Come out of the closet all of you Trek fans. No need to be ashamed anymore.

New channel "Aux TV" which plays all independent music videos. If you have Rogers it`s in the low 700`s.

Does anyone really get fooled by spam in their email?

Bought a netbook recently. Really digging it. small portable and perfect for just surfing the web while watching TV.

I wish there was a way to find out if the world was getting smarter or dumber. My money would be on dumber. Society now seems settled on having things just thrown on their lap. They are told what to listen to and told what to watch. There is a reason why independent music will always stay independent Can you really think of an era with worse music then we are hearing right now? Even the 80's had Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Metallica. What do we have now Boom Boom Pow?

If you dig a little deeper into the music you will find fantastic talent. And in every era there were artists that made it on talent alone. Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist of all time, McCartney and Lennon were the best lyricists of all time. John Bonham of Zeppelin is the best drummer of all time. And in my opinion Black Sabbath is the best band of all time. All these bands were extremely talented and in that era that was what sales were based upon. Now we have these over produced and under talented bands and solo artists that are coming out based on either their looks or their style. Bands are made instead of formed. Bands are making singles instead of albums. If you look at the top 20 today you might find one band that actually plays instruments and isn't produced.

It is so refreshing to find people who think the same way as me, but most people don't really care what they are listening too. They just want something catchy and easy. And it's becoming harder and harder to find people that actually care about music. The industry is dying and eventually it will just be computer noises that are pleasing to the ear. It will probably sound a bit like Las Vegas.

Xbox 360 red ring of death, I have never felt so helpless.

Modern Family - the big dude has the same mug as me, a mug with the greatest mustaches in the world. Fantastic birthday gift.

So the neigbour is attempting to teach his kid how to ride an ATV in the dark. She's 8 or so. There was a little bit of anger when she didn't know which one was gas and which one was brake.

Them Crooked Vultures cd comes out next week. It's one of the supergroups that seems to work. For those that don't know it's Dave Grohl (Drums) Josh Homme (Vocals, Guitar) John Paul Jones (Bass)

I have a cell phone now, getting lost in my home town was the last straw. That and having to use a payphone at macs milk. I think I have swine flu just on my ear.

Madden 10 and NHL 10 are still better on the 360 then the PS3.

Do people realize that with each new format of media that the sound quality drops each time? Nothing sounds better then brand new vinyl.

Bumper Stickers is there a worse form of communication? Maybe the honk of the horn. If you really know the person that's walking, don't honk the horn unless you're going to pick them up. I am sure they aren't enjoying their walk and being honked at doesn't make it any better.

So COD (Call of Duty) came out, people were lined up at FS for the 12am opening to sell the game. It doesn't seem that long ago when I would line up for tickets to a concert overnight. Do you really need to stay up all night and play an army video game all night? Oh yeah we also sold monster 4 pack energy drinks with the game.

Afer all these years, pizza is still good.

I wish fake boobs were illegal. It's like a dude showing a six pack stomach, but then you go on a date and find a giant beer gut.

There's something classy about wearing a suit and having a cigar.

The Leafs looking a lot better now. Phil Kessel maybe is a better player then I gave him credit for.

Paranormal activity was solid. The last 30 minutes were extremely creepy.

Kick Boxing is a pretty good time. I never realize how much I enjoy punching things. I realized that I look ridiculous when I attempt to kick though.

Why should anyone care if 2 rappers that have never released an album and are about as smart as a branch I found outside on my walk to get my coffee ever fall in love. If you say "I do" to this then check out Real Chance of love. Sara is currently watching it and one of the challenges are that the girls have to sing a song. One of the lyrics are animals are awesome. My brain hurts.

Astounded by Bran Van 3000 is the newest retro 90's song that I have been getting into lately.

Bob Dylan most overrated musician. Saw him in concert a couple of years ago and I couldn't understand anything he was saying, and I was sober.

I hope before I die that I can grow a full face beard.

Recipe to try this evening. Slice some potatoes, spread some garlic margarine on tinfoil, lay the potatoes down, spread some montreal steak spice, and rosemary on the pototoes. Bbq till a bit crispy. Serve before the Cowboys Eagles game tonight.

Top 3 best comedy sitcoms no particular order.

- Seinfeld
- Arrested Development
- The Simpsons seasons 4-11

I wish I could just have Alan Cross tell stories to me about rock and roll all day. 2 advils, 1 gatorade, 1 bowl of chicken noodle soup, and Alan Cross to cure all hangovers.

Yanks in 6

Sara and I started kick boxing last night, it's fairly easy other then the end of the night when they have these stupidly hard exercises that you have to do which it was very tempting to just pass out.

Halloween overall was a success, except for the dude in Hamilton that stole my homemade wizard hat. Who steals a homemade wizard hat. Somebody in the dirty hammer that's who.

I've decided that I take awful pictures when I am drunk.

I think when somebody gets hurt from now on and I don't want to hear them whine, I am just going to throw a blanket over them so I don't have to see or hear what's going on.

7-1 in one fantasy football pool, and 5-3 in the other. Feeling solid.

Discount costume madness at Value Village, I am trying to find a Freddy Kreuger hand. I just kind of want to tap those fingers on a desk.

Big Bang Theory is starting to lose some steam lately, going back to the well too many times with Sheldon jokes.

Community picking up steam, had a wicked Halloween episode with Chevy Chase high and dressed as the Beastmaster.

Nothing new in the music front, at Christmas time there are a lot of greatest hits albums that come out.

So Futureshops VIP sale is on the same day as America's Thanksgiving. Does anyone know what happens on that day. 3 football games, a lot of heinekens are consumed, and wings are enjoyed out of the slow cooker. This better not be an annual thing.

Nascar worst sport ever. Would rather watch a Jr. "B" Listowel Cyclones game with all my teachers from Public School.
