While visiting New Mexico I realized how much tougher everybody in that state is then me. They ride their motorcycles without helmets. There is no such thing as eating fruits or vegetables. And if you order a glass of wine with your dinner you will be sent back to Canada with your Celine Dion albums.

Don't wear pajama pants out in public please.

The show "Happy Endings" is about a dude that's left at the altar and the way that it effects the group of friends in the future. There is no way you could be friends with a person that left you at the altar.

How long could you live on food just sold at the dollar store?

Water heater was busted when we got home from our trip. Having a cold shower makes me feel like I am going to be beaten for information.

Game of Thrones - 10/10

Having scalding hot gold poured over your head is a tough way to go out.

Just found out their is an app that is in production that will allow you to take a picture of somebody and it will bring up all the social networking that is available on them. Only females should be allowed to use this app.

The fad living room - a person, with a Charlie Sheen shirt on, playing rock band, with a wii controller in hand, on their 42" 3D television, and a red dog beer in their hand.

Top 3 New Mexico Memories.

3 - The Very Large Array (I still think it should be called the Great Array)

2 - Smokey the bear museum

1 - The town of Lincoln (Has all the Billy the Kid history there)

Jack Sparrow was looking in the wrong place for the fountain of youth. Eddie Murphy has it.

25% of the wrestlers are dead that were in Wrestlemania 6. That's a scary stat and the undeniable fact that steroids are awful for you. If you didn't already know.

Can Lebron ever be better then MJ, nope, Michael never had to win a championship with the likes of David Robinson, Barkley, or Ewing. Pippen was great, but he wouldn't have been near as good without MJ.

I always felt like I was going to run into the people from the "Hills have Eyes" in New Mexico.

Has anyone ever thought when they walked into a Future Shop that the Fast Forward symbol in the store was supposed to be leading them somewhere? Well one person in our store thought so.

Off to New Mexico this weekend. Going to check out the cheesy old west stuff, and the equally as cheesy Roswell alien type stuff.

You heard it here first. If there is a football season the Detroit Lions will make the playoffs.

Hockey playoffs have been a disappointment so far. 1st round was great. But after that, mediocre.

There is nothing more annoying then turning the channel to the Score and having horse racing on.

Sam Roberts, what happened?

Yes I know shows that start with the word "the" and have a premise of somebody with a super ability do fairly well in the ratings. Enough already though.

Begun to watch Fringe recently. Not too bad, once Joshua Jackson got over his ideas of everything just being too crazy to happen.

I believe each and every person needs to have their heart broken once to really find the right person.

Russell Peters, we know your family is Indian. New material please.

We can find faults in pretty much every type of food or drink. Diet pop has aspertame. Salads with certain types of dressing have more calories then big macs. Sucrose is in pretty much everything we eat. The reason Canada and the States have become so fat is because of the ridiculous portions that we eat and that we are too lazy and in too much of a hurry to cook our own food. It also doesn't help that most of our jobs don't require us to move whatsoever.

What happened to Tom Green?

Top 3 classic video games

3 - Super Mario Bros
2 - Contra
1 - Tyson's punch out

I wish I could press reset of all the great things that I have listened to or watched. Wouldn't it be great to hear Radiohead "The Bends" for the first time again.

The Rogers commercials are now the new worst commercials. Have you ever sat with a buddy in front of his computer watching a music video by Hollerado while commenting on how fast his internet service is?

Will Keith Richards live longer then me? I think it's 50/50.

Conservatives have a majority government. The only good thing about this election is the fact that the NDP became the opposition.

TV on the Radio's new album is pretty solid. More chilled then previous releases.

Will the sun ever come out again?

Gin and Tonic, never thought I would enjoy you as much as I do.

The Flyers are down 2-0 in the series against the Bruins. Couldn't fault them too much last night. Played their hearts out and had 54 shots against Tim Thomas. Hot goalie rules all.

Here's the lingo distinguished when selling a laptop.

"I don't do too much with the laptop, just surf the web." - I want the cheapest thing you've got.

"I can't have it crashing or lagging." - My character in World of Warcraft has been killed by disconnection of my internet connection.

"I need the webcam to be top quality." - You are a performer in fine quality arts.

Need to buy a new driver this year for golf season. Any recommendations under $200.00?

Why does everything have so much sodium in it?

We need you to eat healthy, but to do so it's going to cost you twice as much.

Least favorite commercial. The dude that goes on the Gillette Pro Glide challenge that challenges the disposal razor against the Pro Glide. We no sh** the Pro Glide is better. You also can't buy it from the dollar store.

"Happy Endings" is a decent show that is now on City TV. It's done by the same dude as "Community."

I know having kids takes up a lot of peoples time, but why does music have to be the first thing cut from the list of things that you keep up on?

Top 3 types of red wine,

3 - Cabarnet Savignon
2 - Shiraz
1 - Malbec

Nothing quite beats the Niagara on the Lake wine pairing tour. Beautiful scenery, great wine, and a pairing to go with it. Usually it's in June and it's about $30.00

Recently saw Troll 2. If you don't already know there is a cult following on this movie about it being the worst movie ever made. I have seen it and it's laugh out loud funny on how bad the acting is. It's called Troll 2 with no Troll 1, and has a scene where there is a girl and guy sharing a cob of corn with the tension becoming so heated that the cob of corn turns into popcorn. Priceless!!!!!

The Beer Store should have samples like the liquor store.

Black Swan 9.5/10
Scream 4 - 6.6/10
Tron 2 - 7.1/10

Started running recently. I really enjoy the feeling after finishing running. Don't particularly like the next couple of days after.

"The League" is now my favorite new show. It's a show about 5 dudes that run a fantasy football league. Witty humor in sports relation.

Gaius Baltar from Battlestar is in Bridget Jones' Diary. Don't ask me how I know this.

Saw Junip last week. Fantastic show, also the lead singer Jose Gonzalez looks exactly like Blue Jays star Jose Bautista.

Is there anything better then playoff hockey?

Top 3 over done movies

3 - Fast and the Furious or whatever it's called now
2 - Harry Potter
1 - Pirates of the Caribbean

Do the portable massage machines actually work?

It's very painful to watch somebody that can't public speak try to public speak.

Cam Newton could be the number 1 pick this coming year in the NFL. He has a huge chance of being a bust. So if you are the Carolina Panthers do you pick a defensive tackle and hope that you get the number 1 pick next year as well and draft a sure thing in Andrew Luck?

Nothing beats a great salad. Wow, that sounds extremely lame .

Batting cages today. Driving range today. Getting ready for the summer.

Never answer the phone with a joke response, it never goes as you see it.

United States of Tara on the movie network is a show worth checking out if you haven't already.

Nintendo is phasing out the wii. Will they come out with a 3D gaming system in 2012?

As soon as my hair gets a little longer it begins to resemble a curly mullet. The 80's ruined my sense of style and hair.

Dudes in jogging pants. When will the madness end?

Is there anything that's easier to make then pancakes?

I wish I owned some fighting trousers.

The Switch 6.9/10
Narnia (the new one) 4.9/10

Going to the falls today. The vibe in the casino is that everyone is profiting. When you look at all the faces in the casino you realize it's the complete opposite.

Mechanical bulls should be readily available at establishments other then country bars.

There needs to be a way that you can pick any song at any time to karaoke. My beautiful lounge singing voice would like to attempt The National.

You can always tell when the song you hear is an American Idol contestant. One of my favorite things about music is the emotion that goes with the vocals. Axl Rose was one of the best at this. When you hear "welcome to the jungle," and those screeching vocals you get goosebumps. Axl would not be a finalist on American Idol though.

Hockey playoffs have started. Not feeling it so far this year. Sometimes it takes me a couple of games to get into it.

"The Killing" on AMC is a fantastic new crime drama. You should check it out if you are sick of all the CSI or NCIS garbage.

PVR busted on our Rogers box. I guess "Chuck" will have to wait for DVD.

If I was going to buy a new laptop today and I didn't want a MAC, I would buy a Samsung.

Cottage should be opening shortly. If Winter had a face I would punch it.

Soy milk has estrogen in it, maybe I can generate some pecs without working out.

As long as I have lived I have hated soccer. I will always remember the Simpsons episode when the fans are all excited for the game then the team just passes the ball around the neutral zone for an hour.

People still don't understand how great the PS3 is. Download Windows media player 11 on your desktop. check for media server on your PS3. Play movie or music wirelessly over your network.

Top 3 people I wish would go away.

3. Lindsay Lohan
2. Charlie Sheen
1. Jersey Shore People

Best thing about dressing as Tony Stark for a scifi convention. You get to be a jerk like Tony Stark and not get in trouble for it

Reason number 14 why I hate basketball. You take one player away from a team and they end up being the worst team in the league. Cleveland Cavaliers are the example. You take the two best players away from the Penguins in hockey and they can still compete for the cup.

Top 3 weathered actresses or actors

3 - Michael Keaton
2 - Angelina Jolie
1 - Cameron Diaz

All the tablets are coming or already out. I think that the Motorola XOOM is probably the best value. I will wait and see on the RIM Playbook though.

I miss golfing!!!!

How fast is Charlie Sheen going to be old news? I believe faster then Chuck Norris jokes.

Something I thought I would never hear in my life. "Daryl can you stop playing country music."

I know that I probably whine every year about how long the winter is. But, it feels like I haven't been outside for about a year without freezing.

People have lost the art of spelling. People are always so impressed when I can spell their name properly at work. I have seen the following for my name. Darryl, Darel, Darrell, Darly, and Dyral.

Swiss Chalet delivery is the finest delivery in town. They have the easiest website to navigate, and the quickest delivery service.

Sucker Punch 3.2/10
Iron Man 2 5.2/10
The Other Guys 7.8/10

Tame Impala is still on the top of my charts. There hasn't been too much that's come out to take it's place.

People put way too much pressure on themselves to have the perfect wedding. Everything has to be just right or the day is ruined. The location, the cake, her dress, or the first dance. Sara and I just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We got married in Costa Rica, we just picked a random spot on the beach. We had our dinner at a decent restaurant in Manuel Antonio. Our first dance was played out of a ghetto blaster, and the DJ was a shuffle button on a stereo. In my opinion it was such a perfect day because of the people we had there and the fact that I was with the person that I wanted to be with. I am not saying that everyone should do it this way, but you shouldn't feel that you have to have the perfect wedding. Don't be a cookie cutter, make it a memorable one in your own way.

Best time in sports is coming up soon. Start of the baseball season and the hockey playoffs.

I was never a big basketball fan, but it's sad that there is not a good team in the NBA that I can even cheer for. Maybe the Oklahoma City Thunder, maybe!!!

Does it ever hurt your brain that there is so much social networking that you can't keep up.

Junip tickets are booked. Very excited!!!

El Salvador was beautiful, Sara and I climbed a volcano, we also checked out some of the Mayan Ruins as well. The food was ok, but that is kind of standard in most South and Central American countries.

We are going to New Mexico for Sara's 30th. Never seen the old west before, looking forward to it.

Eat, Pray, Love - 7.2/10

Sucker Punch comes out this weekend. It's done by Zack Snyder (300.) It looks like a bunch of cool thoughts he had just thrown into one movie. Can he pull it off? I say yes.

Going to a fund raiser for Epilepsy this Saturday. Partying for a good cause is always fantastic.

Owning a cape is something I strive towards, I am not sure I can pull it off.

Snow storm??????

Bear in Heaven were featured in an episode of Skins. It always feels good to have a band you've known about for some time be featured in a hit show.

I understand that since we are a bilingual country we were taught to speak French. Being older now I realize that it would have been much more useful learning Spanish.

Facebook is just internet barf.

Netflix needs to up their price a month a bit, and get more new releases. They have the right idea, but advertising "I love you Beth Cooper" as a new release is just wrong.

Prosciutto Pizza is the best pizza I have had recently. They are an Italian couple that owns the pizzeria. They went to Italy and shut down the pizzeria while they were there. They didn't trust anyone else to make the pizza. Dedication!!

I find it amazing how the Japanese are dealing with the Tsunami. No riots, no insanity, and no violence. They are an amazing society.

Sushi is something I like now.
