Washed Out - All I know
Foxygen - No Destruction
Local Natives - You and I
Payola - Eyes of a Stranger (old song, but great song)

Received two of the three jerseys from China. Quality isn't too bad and the Flyers haven't lost a game since I received the jerseys. Even if the shade of orange resembles a tangerine it's worth it for a Flyers winning streak.
Today was the Adventure Guide sale. Clothing is 70% off and shoes are $39.99. There were many old man plaid shirts to choose from. For those that make fun of the blue plaid shirt that I always wear. I now have three of the exact same shirts in different colours. Take that!
Pitchfork gave the new Arcade Fire album a 9.2/10. I have just started to listen to it. So far so good. Pitchfork has always had a Ryan Gosling thing for Arcade Fire. We will see, we will see.
There are people that I know similar to George Castenza's mother. They have never laughed or chuckled in their entire life.
New reality show starting up. Daryl Smith in the army. Could you imagine?
"Smith get down and give me 20."
"How about 1. That's all I have the strength for, and I really don't want lose the lotion off of my hands that I just put on."
Greg Jennings goes out and talks smack about Aaron Rodgers. Then comes out with a huge game of 1 reception for 9 yards. You really showed him Jennings. Just continue to count your money. Is your money spray painted in purple and yellow?
We Are What We Are - 8.1/10
Great horror movie. Fantastic acting by a bunch of unknowns. The Father is outstanding. Do not watch if you get grossed out easily or don't like cannibals. Who doesn't like cannibals?
Give the dude from Sleepy Hollow some new clothing. He slept in these clothes for 200 years. Take him to Old Navy or something.
Fozzy is an amusing name. There is a rule if you are named Fozzy. You are never allowed to shave any part of your body ever.
Attention What! This what a co-worker thought that they said in the army.
Started watching the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D recently. 5.5/10 What was I talking about again?
Regardless of the situation I always walk the other way when there is an old man approaching me. If old people were just looking to share knowledge it would be one thing. They are never looking to just share knowledge. They always need help or their grumpy.
There is a huge disconnect between the current generation of young adults and the last generation of adults. This is due to Smartphones. Apple has ruined people's attention spans and their creative imagination. I am on level 90 in Candy Crush.
Halloween is this Thursday. Halloween is my absolute favorite of all days. Discount candy the day after. I can dress like a slut and nobody will judge me. It's just an amazing day.
Have you ever glared at the sun; because you were upset that it was too bright?
Top 3 bottles of white wine that I have drank recently.
There seems to be a theme here with my wine tasting.
Sometime I would like to race a man from Kenya just to see how badly I would lose.
This year I might take a picture of how my moustache looks on the last day of Movember. Then compare it over the years. My entire goal of this over the years is to be able to curl it at both ends of my moustache. I will take hair from my head if necessary.
What was I doing while I was sleeping last night? My sheet was tied around my leg, my arm, and my neck. I almost fell down trying to get out of bed.

Awesome, the Boston Red Sox versus the St Louis Cardinals in the World Series. The least interesting World Series in the history of baseball. Oh India is playing South Africa in Cricket. Turn it to that.
I try to eat healthy. Sometimes though I have to go through the lineup at Sobey's with two bags of chips and some diet pop and feel that I have explain myself with my unhealthy eating choices. "Off to a party." Even though I will be sitting in my boxers eating all dressed chips while drinking out of a 2L Diet Sprite bottle.
Matt Mays is tomorrow night at the Starlight. I will see nobody there, but I still must advertise. Even if I convert one person to good music. It has been worth while.
Sara is alive and well back from Everest Base Camp. For those that ask how I deal with knowing the dangerous situations that she has put herself through. Ask yourself. Have you ever tried to tell Sara what to do?
There aren't very many people that can say that they don't know who Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent is. I know of one This person is older than 5 and younger than 60. How do you live with yourself?
If you don't know the answer to something and are proven wrong. If you still use a certain truly arrogant tone of voice you can still get away without being called out. You will come across as a douche bag. But you will not be questioned.
I am purchasing Michael Jackson's red jacket from the Thriller video. You cannot stop me from doing this you can only embrace me. Attempt to keep up with the vapor trail that my white socks leave and you will be sent back to your seat with your headphones on that you didn't even know that you were wearing that has Smashmouth playing.
Reverse Polarity is next weekend. You have two seconds to guess what this is. This is a Doctor Who convention. If you were correct you will receive one sip of my warm Old English.
Blackberry Messenger is available in Android and Iphone. "What? This is the absolute best day of my life. It took them so long. I need to start messaging my friends immediately. Oh that's a hilarious cat video. I would never see this on Facebook. Ah my life is now complete again. How did I live without this for soooooo looooong!"
Going to see the Rangers tonight. Received tickets from my father that are just a few rows off of the ice. What's the best part of this evening? You can bring your drink to your seat now.
Halloween party's and costumes will be out in abundance this coming weekend. There are three types of women's costumes that are the most common.
3 - The Couples Costume. (We will look so cute together)
2 - The Smart/Sharp Costume. (I have never seen this done before. eg. Firefox, blue screen of death)
1 - The I Can Dress Like a Slut and No One Can Judge Me Costume (Pretty self explanatory)
I have received an overwhelming amount of support of me coming over to people's houses cooking them dinner and drinking their booze while sharing my infinite amount of wisdom. People are going to be so disappointed when my only wisdom is to not wear socks with sandles.
hitRECord is something that is extremely cool that Joseph Gordon Levitt has started. It's basically a collaboration of people that have certain talents. One person will come up with an idea. Post it on the website The next person will come up with the art work, post it. The next person will come up with the script. Then Joseph Gordon Levitt will use his connections to get voice actors to make it happen. Thinking outside of the box.
Yes, sometimes I do dress exactly how my animated blog picture dresses. Yes, I also look exactly that same as him. This was on purpose. I am the original hipster.

Recently went to Oktoberfest. First time I have been in quite a while. Retrotoberfest which is all 80's and 90's music is quite a bit better then polka. If I have to hear the bird dance song one more time I am going develop a fireball in my hands and throw it at you.
Recently someone at my work was asked if they knew who BB King was. Their response was the following. Isn't that a new BBQ restaurant?
Story:
Lady: Do you carry a really small USB thing?
Me: Yes, we carry USB flash drives.
Lady: Is 8GB the smallest?
Me: Yes, it's on sale for $7.99.
Lady: Why don't you guys carry anything smaller? You forget about the people that just need it for a file or two.
Me: You don't have to use all 8GB.
Lady: I am going to keep looking around.
Another solid conversation with the Cambridge Folk.
Well the Oakland A's and Pittsburgh Pirates were both put out in their game 5's. The Philadelphia Flyers look absolutely horrible, and Green Bay lost two of their best receivers this past week. Can we go back to a week ago when I had so much hope?
The Way Way Back - 9.6/10
What a fantastic movie. Gives you that same feeling that you have when you watch Little Miss Sunshine. Steve Carell is fantastic, but Sam Rockwell steals the movie. There are not enough adjectives to describe how amazing this movie is. Watch it tonight. The power of the Smith compels you.
I am pleased that I can pull off the Tony Stark look without flinching. Nothing better than portraying an egotistical, boozing, witty Robert Downey Jr character. It's good that I don't look like Aquaman.
I don't like when somebody approaches me and says. "I have seen things." Then their eyes look off into the distance past my left ear.
Sara's brother and his wife have just left for an around the world journey. They will be gone for five months. If you are wondering. Yes, being an awesome traveler is part of the Dhooma genetics.
Was stopped at a ride program near my place the other night. When you go through the ride program they give you a coupon book that has deals at local businesses. If you get a DUI do you still get the coupon book?
Of Montreal - Lousy with Syvianbriar - 8.1/10
Of Montreal it's nice to see you come back to earth with your music. You were lost in space for many of years. Were you drawn back in with the sounds of such lovely albums of this year? This has been a great year for music. My top 5 is going to be difficult to write this year.
Dogman is not a good super hero. If you are put on the spot to make up a super hero don't say Dogman.
Cougars like my dance moves. Cougars are also very hard on me. They told me to keep dancing way past my daily stamina limit.
Top 3 times where I miss smoking cigarettes that don't involve sex.
3 - Thanksgiving Dinner
2 - Morning Coffee
1 - Sex - Come on man, this is an obvious number 1.
Some people are embarrassed of their names. When I enter their names into our computer I always tell them to spell it out to me slowly even if I know how to spell it. Is that evil?
Monday, October 7, 2013
How can I cheer for teams that have such great management? A's (Billy Beane,) Pirates (Neil Huntington,) and Packers (Ted Thompson.) Then cheer for a team that has the absolute worst management. Flyers (Paul Holmgren) They should have fired both Holmgren and Laviolette. It's only a matter of time before Holmgren goes. And I say good riddance. Ilya Bryzgalov? Come on man.
Sorry Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Somebody should have pulled the plug on your buddy comedy. I still think my perfect job would be for people to show me movies and I decide whether it will make money or not. I think this job might be called studio head. How do I get this job?
The Internship - 5.6/10
There is no worse feeling than buying a pumpkin cheesecake, and forgetting to take a slice of it for yourself. You forget glorious things when there is a fridge full of Heineken waiting there shining direct sunlight into the soul of your liver.
Great video and great song. Yes! I do bash this band quite a bit, but I must give credit where credit is due.
Tried to get my passport photos done recently. Didn't realize that it was national bring your children to get their photos done on Friday. "Smile, no don't go over there. If you stay here you will get McDonald's after. Don't put your finger there. Smile! Yes, stay still! No, just like you were there. No, Come back!" I wanted to buy a coffee for the parents and tell them that everything was going to be alright.
Only Tony Romo could get roasted for throwing for 500 plus yards, 5 TD's, but throw a costly pick in the 4th. Just a heads up Dallas fans. If you score 48 points you should win the game. I can guarantee that Aaron Rodgers wouldn't get any flack for the same game. Poor Tony!
Homeland takes off right where it left off. If you aren't watching this show. No witty response, you just should be.
Too many real estate people's faces on buses. What's the steps for awesome realtors? If you are alright you get park benches. If you are amazing you get the side of a city bus.
One week since Sara has been gone to Everest. The trek has been difficult I have heard. The elevation is the main difficulty. Just a small update of life and times of Sara Dhooma.
Ordered a few jerseys online from this website. www.aliexpress.com. They have every jersey you can possibly imagine. When I receive my jerseys I will give a review. I paid $98.00 for all three. We will see once I get them how good the quality is. It's probably knitted together with yarn..
Josh Donaldson - Green 20 (Oakland A's)
Pedro Alvarez - Black 24 (Pittsburgh Pirates)
Claude Giroux - Orange 28 (The once powerful, now awful Philadelphia Flyers)
How much baseball can you watch in one day? I watched 9 hours consecutively. It was pretty gross. I managed to make a meal for myself. I was itching for pizza though. When you are being lazy, you might as well go all out, and become a fat lazy ass.
I have cured myself of falling asleep while sitting up. I now lay down on the couch instead. All you have to do is position your body horizontally instead of vertically. What a concept!
Top 3 bands that would look shockingly awesome with a tall bass.
3 - Metallica
2 - Led Zeppelin
1 - Judas Priest
I was called a Diva recently. I think this was unnecessary and unwarranted. Now give me my mocha-choca half skim, half soy, without whipped, caramel latte.
How many times have you used the joke "people think I eat too many chocolate bars" to somebody that has unexpected acne?
Went to a Bryan Adams concert when I was quite a bit younger. Prototypical concert for Bryan Adams. Him and his guitarist were wearing white jeans. Bryan's jeans had "Bad" written across his ass. The guitarist has "Ass" written across his ass. This was the highlight of the concert.

True Story - Was at a medical office recently. While sitting there one of the nurses comes out with a confused look on her face.
"Is there a la-a here?" She pronounces it la "pause" a. She repeats it again. A bigger African American lady stands up and says with attitude. "It's pronounced Ladasha." Mind blown!
Doesn't it feel like Adrian Peterson is turning into the next Barry Sanders. Poor guy is in the prime of his career. Best running back on the planet, and you give him a combination of Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel to work with?
Finally Microsoft has combated Apple's original commercials. Saw this commercial recently and thought it was pretty good.
Where in the world is Sara Dhooma? She is currently in Nepal, about to hike Mt. Everest base camp. What are you doing today?
The Pittsburgh Pirates are going to the playoffs. I will be at Allstar Wings and Ribs on Highland in Kitchener to watch the game for anybody that wants to join me. Just look for the dude with wing sauce all over his face, and tears of happiness running down his face. It will also probably be the guy sitting by himself.
Sasquatch's are utilized in most commercials properly.
I have rarely seen a following to a show similar to the one I saw for Breaking Bad. It was very cool to see this. Especially for such a well written, beautifully directed piece of Television. Now if we could only get music on board with what's going with Television. Let's sing along. Everything popular in music is still shitty.
Veal Stew
3tbsp of olive oil, saute onions, garlic, and carrots. Add cubed veal, and cook till brown. Add 1/2 cup of white wine and one can of tomato sauce. Add salt and pepper for flavour. Simmer for an hour on low heat. Add two potatoes cubed to the stew. Simmer for another half hour or until carrots and potatoes are cooked through. Enjoy with naan bread.
One thing that I have hard time getting over is that my face goes bright red when being put on the spot. I would be a terrible criminal. This is another one of my terrible X-Men powers. This goes well with having to go to bathroom when I sense danger.
Top 3 things that will make you look like a douchebag
3 - Wearing a bluetooth headset inside a retail establishment
2 - Driving your car ridiculously fast around a retail parking lot.
1 - Wearing a UFC hat without a bent peak, while having it barely sit on top of your head.
If the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Oakland A's meet in the World Series. Oh I would just die.
They should make all the intelligent, kind, generous, talented men give sperm for the next generation of the human race. I have seen the future, and the number one television show in the future is called "Ow, my balls!" All rights reserved to the wonderful movie called "Idiocracy."
Things would be a lot easier if people actually did have a light bulb turn on above their head when they have a great idea.
Now You See Me - 6.0/10
Recently started physiotherapy and massage therapy for my left shoulder. As most of you probably know at one time in my brilliant career I was a starting pitcher for the Listowel Legionnaires. I was a grizzled veteran that threw only junk at the age of 21. I wore a Pink Floyd jean jacket out to the mound, and came out to Hells Bells by AC/DC. I am pretty sure that I probably had a smoke in my mouth when I entered the game as well. This all sounds extremely tough I know. I also only threw about 65 MPH. This might have taken some of the toughness away. But it's all about deception in division "D" baseball.

I was told recently that kids in High School are having their upcoming assignments and tests sent to their parents to make sure that they are studying for them. "Here comes the airplane, make sure you eat all your vegetables, do you want me to go to your job interview for you today honey? Don't worry, you just play Grand Theft Auto, Mommy will take care of everything." Sounds like they should succeed just fine in the real world.
Oakland needs to relax. There is a good chance that if they pass the Red Sox that they won't be playing the Tigers in the first round. Now that's fine and dandy that they won't have to face Verlander and Scherzer in the first two games, but Daryl won't be able to see the games if they are in Tampa. Well???? It actually might be cheaper to fly to Tampa, and pay $4.00 per ticket there. Hmmmm, interesting!!!
Bryan Cranston loses best actor to Jeff Daniels? With one glare from Bryan Cranston, Jeff Daniels turns into his character from Dumb and Dumber and has to go to the bathroom.
Here's an update on what Sara has been up to recently. She won $7200 on a game show called Spin Off that was on TV last week. She leaves for Nepal this coming Saturday. She is also currently working on the cure for Scurvy. She has it narrowed down to Vitamin C and High C juice.
Monopoly started back up at McDonald's. Here's the time that I compensate by eating the healthiest dinners so I can eat the unhealthiest breakfast each and every day. It's all worth it for that one cheeseburger that I get free every two weeks.
Phil Kessel - if you would prefer not to fight a 6'8" giant. Don't run your mouth off. Sometimes I enjoy when this type of stuff happens. It triggers my pure hatred for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The pure definition of you do absolutely nothing job Social Media Director for a company.
Funny video about the new Iphone.
I never thought it was odd that I was getting my haircut at the place where I currently get my haircut until I actually looked around the room and realized that I was the only customer they had under the age of 60. This might be why my hair looks like Christoper Reeves from Superman.
Top 3 ways to break through a wooden fence that people will enjoy to watch.
3 - Kicking through a fence with steel toed boots on
2 - Freaking out on it with a baseball bat
1 - Putting your head through it, and then looking at the person on the other side like Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds.
Nicknames are starting to become a thing of the past. Nicknames need to stick around. There is nothing better than coming up with a nickname that perfectly suits a persons personality. Mine for example is the Master.
Let me save you some time for those that are looking for a new show to watch.
Sleepy Hollow - Would rather put down 6 chips in line on the floor and eat them in a straight line like a dog.
Under the Dome - Are the NY Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars on instead?
Top of the Lake - Like finding that Reece Pieces candy in the middle of the trail mix bag. Fantastic show if you don't understand the reference. Or if you really enjoy the bark in a trail mix bag.
Have you ever seen someone dragged away from a conversation by their ear? I don't think that even happened in the real world.
Is their anything more frustrating than attempting to put the thread through that little hole in a needle. Not that I have done this in 10 years, but having to look at Sara's sewing kit reminds me of grade 9 trying to make a fabric football with the Edmonton Eskimos team colours and being frustrated after it was all over. For some reason I sweat quite a bit more than usual when trying to thread a needle.
