Wouldn't it be beautiful to see the Red Sox miss the playoffs after all that money spent on free agents?

Thought "How I met your mother" was done, but this past episode was brilliant.

People seem to be getting grumpier each and every day. If I see somebody that is happy all the time I think there is something wrong with them. That's sad.

Eddie Murphy is hosting the Oscars this year. Wouldn't it be great if he just did stuff from his "RAW" days??

Detroit Lions 3-0 and the Buffalo Bills 3-0. Have to love the NFL.

I am sorry female runners, there is nothing a man can do about looking. It's not our fault it would kill us not to.

Purchased a new phone with the google android operating system on it. People that own Blackberry's and IPhone's you don't know what your missing.

Arcade Fire won the Polaris award which is generally given to Indie bands that haven't really been noticed yet. Shame on the Arcade Fire for not dropping out of this and allowing another band to win. $25,000 is huge to a start up band.

Went to the wine and food festival, a bunch of wineries did a great job, but once again Gretzky's winery did the best job with the service and the wine. The art that Gretzky has there is unreal.

Hit a Sunday night ride program. Am I the only person that thinks this is a weird day to have a ride program???

Boston Pizza does a great job at marketing. Great atmosphere, mediocre food, stupidly high prices for food, but they make a killing at every location.

Sorry movie theaters I have no time for you. If you served booze and better snack food, you might have a better chance at my business.

Top 3 funniest actors

3 - Bill Murray
2 - Paul Rudd
1 - Will Ferrell

Bridesmaids - 8.9/10

Bravo to Kristin Wiig and the rest of the cast of Bridesmaids for making this movie. It doesn't always have to be a chick flick to bring out the masses.

Today could be the first day that the slow cooker gets some use.

Going to Panama and Costa Rica this February. Sara's mom has a house rented in Panama, then we are going to a wedding of a couple of close friends in Costa Rica after that. Should be another winter where I am not in the country all that much.

Dr. Who has been mighty these past three episodes. Matt Smith is starting to turn the corner as the doctor.

I hated losing Mike Richards and Jeff Carter this past year, but I am telling you right now they will win both of those trades in the end. Braydon Schenn is a Mike Richards clone and Sean Couterier is a Jeff Carter clone. And both of these guys aren't signed for the next decade for big bucks. Cudos to Paul Holmgren for having the guts to make these deals. I still hate trading the captain and my favorite player for an unknown, but I have been swayed before. See Aaron Rodgers for details.

I thought that the ads of looking cool smoking would go out with the playboy magazine of the '70's and 80's, but they still pop up the odd time. A dude jauntily walking with his wife through a bed of tulips smoking a new port cigarette. Yup see that everyday.

To all the Buffalo Bill fans. You can look at your tv's again, the Bills aren't that bad.

To all that read my last post about Donovan McNabb being done. Here's his line. 7-15, 39yds, 1TD, and 1INT. Done!!!

Interesting fact. The band that used to be called Moist minus David Usher plays as a karaoke band in Oakville.

Top 3 worst movies that Adam Sandler has been involved in

3 - Little Nicky
2 - Grown Ups
1 - Bucky Larson (I haven't seen this movie, but it looks like it might be the worst movie of the year)

Top 3 best Adam Sandler movies that he has been involved in.

3 - Grandmas Boy
2 - Billy Madison
1 - Happy Gilmore

Black Sabbath reunion??? How is nobody dead in this band.

The best thing about today. Found a bottle of red wine that was a Christmas gift two years ago.

Why doesn't anybody go to the horse races that are friends with me. I have been twice in the last couple of years and have a great time when I am there.

Cleveland, Detroit, or Buffalo - Where would you go see a NFL game this year?

I think finally the madness has ended with the movement games for the console systems. 3D is next.

It's only a matter of time before Apple comes out with a monthly fee for unlimited movies from Itunes. Once it happens netflix is in trouble.

The National are playing the ACC this coming December. I had no idea they were this big of a band.

Entourage is done, in case anybody cares.

I find that I pay a lof of money for the movie network. I don't think I would keep my subscription without HBO.

DJ'd a wedding this past weekend. I forgot how much fun it was to DJ when people enjoyed dancing. I could have sang the Russian national anthem and they would have danced.

How do people go years without going on a vacation???

Big Brother is coming to an end soon. Good season, it's a very guilty pleasure, but at least they speak in complete sentences and there are some games that involve skill and brains that are won throughout the episodes. Jersey Shore what do you have to say for yourselves???

Tangled - 8.0/10

Child obesity, yikes!!!

I kind of feel guilty cheering for a guys injury to better my team in fantasy football.

Top 3 things that will be happen this year

3 - Glee ratings will fall
2 - Optimusreim (James Reimer) will fall to earth and realize that he is a mediocre goalie on a mediocre team.
1 - Tiger Woods will play in a foursome with me at a best ball tourney, and be the worst player on the team.

The difference between Madonna and Lady Gaga. You didn't hear Madonna's name in the news every day of the year. The internet makes you sick of people so quickly.

So people have realized that they enjoy 60's music again. See Sheepdogs for details.

Surprise Surprise, one manufacturer realized that the tablet industry won't be as big as once thought. HP you made a smart move by removing yourself from the nonsense.

X-Men First Class - 9.8/10 - movie of the year, even if you are not a nerd.

Trying to get back into True Blood this year, just can't do it. Sorry Sookie I have been cheating on you with the Doctor.

Haven't watched High Fidelity this year yet, maybe this weekend. This movie is the reason why everything has a ranking with me.

I really enjoy reading, but it always has so many other things to compete with. (TV, video games, internet, golf, baseball.)

McDonald's - a small coffee and a muffin for $1.39, how can you beat that?

I don't understand all the deaths surrounding former tough guys in the NHL.

So apparently a new putter does help your golf game. Who knew?

Why is it when a British person speaks it sounds so intelligent? Even in that terrible game show, you are putting a golf ball in a cup that is attached to a rubber band. Go!!

My Clockwork Orange moment, going to see Mamma Mia for a second time and not being able to close my eyes or ears.

Beautiful cars are to dudes what fake boobs are to women, just something to raise your self esteem and bring attention to yourself.

So Zookeeper bombed, was Woody Harrelson the studio head that green lighted this?

Have you listened to a Dinosaur Jr. guitar solo recently? No, well have a listen to this.

Summer is almost over, it's been a very successful one for myself. I have stayed healthy, golfed more then any other summer, been to the cottage multiple weekends, and spent time with each group of friends. Thanks for those that has made this summer a memorable one.
