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.

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.
