Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. Canada is still the number one nation in hockey. From what I read only 8 of the squad played in any league this season hence reaching the final is a great
I like Rush. Not the conservative radio personality, but the Canadian rock band. Nobody else in my family shares this opinion and every time I put on a Rush song My wife and brother make fun of me to no end. I recently added the double CD "Chronicles" to my

Last month I mentioned we were streaming four new Custom tracks from his upcoming album. Today, I took down those four and threw up four more. Now streaming on this Myspace page is "Field", "Television", "Beautiful" and "Truth". They're all awesome, so get over there and turn up your speakers.
With the ladies in Ottawa, James and I bach'd it this weekend. It didn't feel so much like a father and son spending the weekend together than a couple of buddies hanging out. We were two dudes doing our thing and it was damn fun. We watched hockey, played baseball
Ah crap. The Czech Republic played us perfectly, smothering our top forwards and allowing few decent scoring opportunities. Despite finishing second, Canada retained its number one status in IIHF world rankings. That's a lone brightspot on an otherwise dismal day.
James enjoys music and I thought it was time he has own stereo so he could play his tunes whenever he wants. He's only three, so I knew anything I gave him could be destroyed. Initially, my plan was to give him a low-end CD player, but I quickly realized
I've heard from Dave Chappelle regarding his mysterious absence from the set of "Chappelle's Show". Ok, he didn't contact me directly, but he speak with Time magazine from South Africa and I've got the quotes. I'm not crazy, I'm not smoking crack. I'm definitely stressed out. You hear so many

Recently, I listed the top ten rated television shows in the USA and commented on whether I watch or not. I mentioned I had never seen an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond or CSI, but I threatened to watch the final Raymond next week out of morbid curiosity. As it
Every six months, my friend Mark and I get together, usually at a Tim Hortons, and bless the SLS playlist. Prior to this ritual, via email and instant messenger, we negotiate. Each edition of SLS is to be no longer than 80 minutes long. Which songs will make up that
Lord have mercy. I'm not as young as I used to be and my heart can't take that kind of a nail-biting finish. Up 4-0, we should have been home free but instead we let Russia steal the momentum and almost steal the game. We were very luck to hang

While I enjoy the Canada-Russia game on TSN, with Canada jumping out to a satisfying 3-0 lead, I'm learning the best show you're not watching may very well return next season. I'm continuously raving about "Arrested Development" because it's a jewel of a comedy in a steaming, heaping pile of
"Well, let's just call them, uh, Mr. X and Mrs. Y. So anyway, Mr. X would say, 'Marge, if this doesn't get your motor running, my name isn't Homer J. Simpson.'"
I've added a whole bunch of new CDs to my MP3 collection. There's some stuff I actually wanted, but a whole lot more I added for the benefit of others. Stuff For Me: AC~DC - The Razors EdgeThe Beatles - 1The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste MetallicThe Flaming Lips
I still listen to a great deal of radio. I've always loved the medium, and although there are many attractive alternatives and a massive MP3 collection constantly awaiting me, I still make time for radio. The latest BBM numbers have been released for spring 2005 and I've just checked out
Weezer - Perfect Situation - You've heard "Beverly Hills" on the radio dozens of times, but you haven't heard the new album yet. Wanna hear another new tune? Sure you do. Here's one for ya.

The only DVDs I collect are seasons of "The Simpsons". I've got the first five and I adore each and every minute I spend with my second family. Fellow fans will enjoying hearing season six is due to hit stores on August 16. I can't wait.
Joe Thornton scored with 4:22 remaining to give Canada a 5-4 victory over Slovakia in their quarter-final game earlier today, slapping a shot from the circle to the right of goaltender Jan Lasak that sent the puck sailing into the far top corner of the net for his sixth
As previously discussed, the House of Commons in Ottawa held an interesting vote the other day. Monte Solberg, an M.P. from Medicine Hat, blogged the event from the House of Commons during the vote via his BlackBerry Wireless Handheld. Here's his entry: I hope this posts. Am blogging from
