Promised myself I wouldn't ever complain about it being too hot after the winter we had.

My Morning Jacket figured it out now hopefully other bands will follow suit. When you go on tour after releasing a new album you don't have to just play the new album.

My head takes up my whole drivers license photograph. My head has been this size since I was born. I was probably a little tough to carry around as a child.

Cottage this weekend with the family. Love having a cottage next door to where I live. Cheap weekend away.

The Tourist - 4.1/10
Hobo with a Shotgun - 9.2/10

Joined twitter recently, @hosehead12, it's basically a more up to the minute facebook.

Pretending to be a celebrity on twitter?????

If I was to open a local 9 hole golf course that was basically a farmers field. I would really make sure that I could have booze on the course. Hometown crowd you know which course I am talking about.

Story - Car breaks down in London while attempting to go see the Black Keys. Figure out it's the battery that needs to be replaced. Have to take a cab to the Canadian Tire to find a battery. No tools to install it, and also don't have any idea how to install it. Cab driver ends up having tools to install it and ends up doing it for free. Tip was very generous for cabby. There are still some good people in this world.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are tied for 1st. What??????

Do you think having the last name Rodriguez helps you make baseball teams?

Everytime I start the bbq I have to have a beer in my hand. Maslow's theory does work on humans as well.

Top 3 "B" Movies of all time

3 - Hobo With a Shotgun
2 - Night Patrol
1 - Revenge of the Nerds

Polaris was this past weekend. Dressed as a Vulcan on the Friday night, then as "Chuck" on Saturday, then as a Tequila connoisseur on the Saturday night. The last costume was unintentional.

Do people ever use the jacuzzi in there room if it's not a romantic weekend with their significant other? Sitting by yourself with the jets on seems weird to do on your own.

White Denim - it's a band that sounds like a grungier version of My Morning Jacket.

Making my own wine seems like something that would be fantastic. Making my own beer makes me feel like I'm on Trailer Park Boys.

What happened to making a great rock album. No gimmicks, no tricks, no experimentation, just a regular rock album. Pearl Jam - Ten, STP - Purple, Nirvana - Nevermind, Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

I am not sure that Albert Einstein could program my Harmon Kardon remote control.

People didn't really think the Jays would compete this year did they?

Big Brother is back. It's such a nice light summer show to watch. I love Jordan as well, she is such a sweet heart, but so dumb.

Mike Richards was traded last week by the Flyers. He was the heart and soul of the team. I am very sad to see him go.

Was at the cottage for the July long weekend. Beautiful weekend, always enjoy having a dog up there especially. My rent a dog idea would work for this as well.

The Zookeeper preview is the worst preview I have ever seen. Kevin James bringing a gorilla to the bar????

Tablets - Here's the deal, remember when they were phasing out MP3 players, the Ipod touch had just been released and there were a number of companies that released items to compete with the Ipod. Most of them bombed, and were never really able to compete. Well the exact same thing is happening with the tablet world. People want Ipad's not tablets. There are a lot of companies that are sinking a pile of money into something that will not be as big as they think it will be.

If I were RIM I would sell out to Google.

What percentage of people would live if as a human race we had to live off of the land?

Top 3 Ultimate Cougar Magnets

3 - Bret Michaels
2 - Jon Bon Jovi
1 - Gene Simmons

How many more years does EA Sports have to put Tiger Woods on the front of their PGA tour game?

True Blood is back, hmmmmm, after watching Game of Thrones. 6.7/10

Seinfeld is still the funniest TV show of all time. Followed closely by Arrested Development.

Is there a better mind manipulating band then Cypress Hill?

Cults - Summer vibe album of the year. Please listen if you enjoy Sleigh Bells or Best Coast.

Frankenstein, sorry man you get a bad rap, and it's not your fault. It not your fault. Keep going with the Robin Williams montage from Good Will Hunting.

When the having hair dream is over, please shave it off.

Stop trying to do cool stuff with facial hair. You either look stupid or crazy. Unless you have a moustache, then you look french or awesome.

Went canoeing with Sara yesterday. Fell out of the canoe within minutes of paddling. Then began to understand that you need to communicate to succeed. That sounds like a motivational framed poster that you get from Walmart.

Caribou or My Morning Jacket who is the better live band? We will see on July 11th.

I love Canada as a country and all, but I find that it costs us too much for basically everything though. Some people that have decent jobs still need to have second jobs just to get by.

Top 3 sports that I am watching more and more the older I get.

3 - Curling
2 - Tennis
1 - Golf

The new Foo Fighters album looks so good on paper. The end result is mediocre overall.

Saying things in German always makes you sound angry.

Even if the Flyers got Martin Brodeur in his prime. There would still be questions about their goaltending.

Reason number 43 why I hate the Leafs. Their fans overrate their players to no end. Latest trade rumour. Mike Komisarek and JS Giguere to Philly for Jeff Carter and Claude Giroux. I would wear a Tron helmet while attempting to speaking Spanish to a police officer in Tijuana if this happened.

Season of the Witch - 7.1/10
Black Death - 8.7/10

Sean Bean is the man. (He's the dude in Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, as well as Black Death.) He was at a bar recently where he went outside to confront a guy that insulted a model that he was with. Bean was then stabbed. When the ambulance came to take Bean to the hospital to make sure he was ok, he told them to piss off and went back in the bar to have some more drinks.

Caesar's are such a hassle to make, but the end result is wonderful.

I didn't think buying a nude suit would be this difficult.

Tim Horton's you have the worst commercials. The 2 dudes that are communicating through code to get more tim bits?

Is there going to be a day that I understand the opera?

Throwback Pepsi is stupendous, they use real sugar instead of that corn syrup garbage. Now if only they would bring back the glass bottle here as well.

I miss people liking the same music as me.

Would I reference myself as a musical snob? Yes.

Some of the words in the english language should be changed to the french version. What sounds better hat or chapeau?

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

Would you date a poet? I would not. I am not even sure if I could be friends with a poet.

UFC is still terrible.

DJ'd a wedding recently. I feel as though dj's only think people like "home for a rest" by Great Big Sea, but everybody including myself actually hate the song.

Vancouver Canucks are in the finals. I wouldn't mind them winning the cup so Canadians would stop whining about Canadian teams not winning the cup. Even though their best three players are Swedish and American.

I really enjoyed seeing Weird Al on an episode of Batman.

Is there anyone more pleasing to the eyes then Natalie Portman?

For those that enjoy the True Blood books. Charlaine Harris the author of the books will be at Polaris (Sci-fi convention) on the July 16th weekend.

Finally got out golfing over the past couple of weeks. It's still great as ever, and the courses are in great shape due to all the rain we've had.

No Strings Attached - 6.2/10

Want some good music for the summer. Have a listen to Best Coast.

Game of Thrones and Dr. Who are the only shows that I am currently watching. The last episode of Dr. Who was fantastic.

Concerts that I will be attending are a plenty in July. Soundgarden, the Black Keys, and My Morning Jacket.

Cottage season is upon us. Let us celebrate the arrival of testee toss and bocce ball this coming weekend with a ceasar and a sangria.

Having tickle fights at any age is awkward and should be avoided at all costs.

Top 3 things that should be black listed while doing a best man or maid of honor speech.

3 - Bachelor Party Exploits
2 - Exes
1 - Illegitimate Children

Public speaking is something that should always be practiced that isn't talked about all that much.

It's messed up that somebody can become like 450lbs and lose 200lbs of that weight in just one year.

Speedo's - Information not available.

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!!!!!
