"Wandering around our America has changed me more than I thought. I am not me any more. At least I'm not the same me I was." - Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, Diarios de motocicleta

Diarios de motocicleta: 8 out of 10. Known as "The Motorcycle Diaries" in this part of the world, "Diarios de motocicleta" tells the story of Che Guevara as a young man. It's well acted, funny, charming, stunning to look at and a great story about how a student travels South
Whoa baby, Edmonton may have just saved their season. I can't spell Markkanen but I appreciate grace under pressure when I see it. In our pool a longer series gives Ryan a better chance to come back, but he now trails by four. Marc's still-the-man with Stillman. For the current
Big Spanish Castle - Stare at the dot for 30 seconds then, without moving your eyes, move the mouse over the image.
One of my favourite tunes on the new Strokes disc is "You Only Live Once". It's the next single from First Impressions of Earth and it has a B side that's intriguing the hell out of me. The Strokes have covered Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me" with Pearl Jam's Eddie
Ever since I started Custom's MySpace page we've stuck to sharing new, unreleased tunes. People seem to dig the new stuff, but requests for one older song have been flooding in ever since. Today, we decided to give the people what they want. Now streaming at http://www.myspace.com/
"Oh Maude, the human wang is a beautiful thing."
Mad Hot Ballroom: 6 out of 10. This wasn't a bad little doc about several New York City elementary schools learning ballroom dancing and competing in a city wide dance competition, it's just that I was expecting more from it. I think I've seen so many good documentaries in the
Because it plays at the beginning of the "Toy Story 2" DVD my kids love, I've seen the trailer for the new Pixar movie "Cars" about a hundred times over the past twelve months. I was always happy to hear the song that played over top the trailer, Tom Cochrane's
The TTC is ordering 234 new subway cars and they're having a contest to name them. To enter, send an email to namethetrain@ttc.ca with the train name, your name, a daytime telephone number, your address, city and postal code. I've suggested "veloCiTy" with the stylized TTC "T". Don't

Rock band Kiss is introducing a his-and-hers fragrance line. They've also recently launched a premium denim line and have announced plans to open the world's first KISS Coffeehouse on my birthday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. "Every army needs food and drink and the KISS Army is no exception!" said
I was just reading about the World Cup and which teams are favoured to win, when I realized something. I’ve never played a soccer match. That’s right, I’ve never participated in a single match, not in school, not in a league and not as an adult. Soccer
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Re: A Homophobic AgendaWhy does this continue to be an issue that just won't go away????? Let Prime Minister Harper use some of the precious little time he has left to
Edmonton got shut out, but both Ryan and Marc got two and remain seperated by a mere three points. All the nation is abuzz with wonderment as to who will be victorious. Will Marc repeat? Will Ryan ride the Pronger express to a comeback victory? Stay tuned... For the current
I sat out last night's slo-pitch game with an injury. I pride myself on playing through anything. With the exception of a torn ACL and broken leg I suffered in a game back in 2003, I haven't missed a beat. They sure didn't need me. We romped Zep 13-3. Kic
I know those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but I don't really care if my house shatters and I've got a lot of stones weighing me down. Our man Harper has a rather hateful opinion of same-sex marriage but Dubya seems absolutely obsessed with it and has been desperately
I still hear those ads on the radio. They feature a kid playing A.J. Burnett in chess. A.J. is ultra competitive, mentioning his no-hitter and fastball. The ad complements the numerous print ads I've seen featuring Burnett, the expensive free agent signed last December by the Toronto Blue
I blinked and we were a week into June. How the hell did that happen? As you know, we finalize each edition of SLS at the end of June and December. That means we're only a couple of weeks away from releasing the final track listing for SLS15. In the
In recognition of today's date, I thought it appropriate to review the ten best "devil" songs, ever! Remember, the Devil is in the details. Me and the Devil's Blues - Robert Johnson Could any other song be #1? This guy sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for guitar
Billy Preston was 59. He was a soul musician who collaborated with some of the greatest names in the music industry, including The Beatles, Sam Cooke, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eric Clapton, Sammy Davis Jr., Sly Stone, Aretha Franklin, George Harrison, The Jackson 5, Quincy Jones, Bob Dylan, and The
Woah. Check out today's date. 06/06/06, or 6.6.6, as I prefer. The Number of the Beast!
I'm still shocked Edmonton blew that game. With Conklin between the pipes, I no longer think the Oilers will win this series. The turn of events last night were dramatic. In our pool, both Ryan and Marc came away with two points so they're still separated by three. When a
Every 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. Crooked Nigga Too - 2PacCh-Check It Out - Beastie BoysThem Bones - Alice In ChainsCoruroy -
After a restless night of the most severe back pain I've ever experienced, I decided at 5:00 this morning to visit St. Joseph's Health Centre. At the very least I figured they could rule out anything serious and prescribe some heavy duty pain killers. Even in the very early
