Canada's Top Athlete

There's some fierce competition for the Lou Marsh Award this year.  Usually there is one or maybe two potential winners, but this year there are four. Justin Morneau is the American League MVP, Joe Thornton in the NHL MVP and Steve Nash is the NBA MVP. In any other year,

Who the Hell is Pete Doherty?

Sometimes you know someone but you're not sure why.  For me, that's the case with Pete Doherty. I'm always reading about this Pete Doherty and his drug addiction, relationship with models and troubles with the law.  If it were Shannen Doherty, I'd understand all the press, but who the hell

The Monday Shuffle

Every once in a blue Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play.  Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them. Kick It In - Simple MindsI'm Hiding - KornOne Step Closer -

Maple Leafs 0, Thrashers 5

We had outscored the Thrashers 37-9 in our eight straight wins before last night's debacle.  In three straight losses we've scored a whopping two goals.  We've lost six of our past eight. I know you're itching to press this panic button, but don't do it.  It's premature overreaction.  We're in

Fourth Blogiversary

It was four years ago today.  In the midst of a grunge resurgence of sorts, I decided it was time to ditch the old torontomike.com format in favour of a blog.  Blogs were starting appear here and there during my daily surfing and I was hooked on the format.

Block Party

Block Party: 7.5 out of 10. I dug the whole vibe of this Dave Chappelle project.  He's his typical funny self, the flow is charming and the musical performances are outstanding. I'd probably laugh my ass off if Chappelle read the phone book for 90 minutes.  Still, if you're
