I enjoy monitoring the search strings that bring people to this site via search engines. There are certain searches that have always brought me a number of new visitors and it was always interesting to keep an eye on this. For example, right now I'm getting a lot of hits
It's never felt less like April. For one, we'll be reaching a high of 27°c today, but more importantly, the Leafs should be beating the Sens right about now. An April without a Leafs playoff victory over the Senators doesn't feel like an April at all.
I was in grade seven the first time I learned about AIDS. My grade seven teacher gave the entire class a lecture about the disease, probably based on guidelines provided to him by the board. It wasn't long before he left these guidelines in the dust and began to share
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in the Quintessential Player and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers UnionCDLX - Bong BubblePearl Jam - IndifferenceRay Charles - Look What They Done To My Song, MaThe
In the city's worst kept secret, CFNY Edge 102 unveiled the lineup for this year's Edgefest at the Molson Amphitheater on July 1st. Billy Talent will headline, Alexisonfire will go second last and a few other bands will be there but I'm fairly unfamiliar with all of them. Let me
Jules Winnfield On Hockey - My brother was telling me about this clip a week ago but I only saw it for the first time today. It's Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction as a hockey coach.
What Age Will You Die? - I don't normally link to web-based quizzes, as most are crap, but this one seems fairly reasonable. According to this quiz, I will live to be 79. I think I lost points for not belonging to a volunteer group or church I attend regularly.
Another gorgeous, two BBQ weekend. To celebrate Mother Nature's splendor, I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. There's a couple from yesterday and a couple from earlier today.
This afternoon I heard the following announced over the paging system at a local Canadian Tire. "Manager to the gun rack for customer service". Something about that sentence didn't sit right with me. During the same visit to Canadian Tire, I asked a member of their helpful crew where I
Man On Fire: 6.5 out of 10. This movie is mostly about style. It's edited in a frenetic style you'd find more frequently in music videos and it's a very slick and enticing package. It looks good, it sounds good and Denzel Washington is quite good. Unfortunately, there is
The Maple Leafs won their 14th and final regular season home finale before a full house of 6,247 at Mile One Stadium last night. It was their 46th win of the season, a new club record. Up next for the Leafs are the Manitoba Moose in the opening round

I recently submitted a tune for SLS13 consideration. I submitted "Be Yourself" from Audioslave. Of all the great grunge rockers I've enjoyed through the years, nobody can touch the voice of Chris Cornell. He's great once again on "Be Yourself", a definite sing-alonger. SLS13 keeps getting better and better...
In the team's second-last regular season game at Mile One Stadium, the Leafs beat the Edmonton Roadrunners in a shootout. Their final regular season game in St. John's is tonight against these same Roadrunners and next season they'll be in my neighbourhood as the Toronto Marlies. Will Sidney Crosby be
Tomorrow night is the second season finale of "Arrested Development". It's also likely the series finale. "Arrested Development" ranks 118th this season to date in the United States and had its order shortened from 22 to 18 episodes. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, five Emmys and my support, ratings matter most

CFNY Edge 102's website tells you they're revealing their Edgefest 2005 lineup on Monday morning. This article, however, lets the cat out of the bag as to who will be headlining. Your Edgefest 2005 headliners will be Billy Talent. Last year, I really let CFNY Edge 102 have it when
Back in December, we posed for family portraits. It was a Christmas gift from Taryn's father so we cleaned ourselves up and posed for a few shots. They're already four months old, but here they are... Family PortraitJames and IMichelle and TarynJames and MichelleJames and Michelle IIMichelleJames
Tonight, our Toronto Raptors host the NBA Championship game. If the Raps win tonight, their season is a complete success and Raptor fans will enjoy a great summer. It all comes down to this. Vince Carter and I have had quite the tumultuous relationship that is well documented. To say

A reader of this site emailed me this link. The Tragically Hip are celebrating their twentieth anniversary and they're having a poll to decide what songs appear on their greatest hits. They're careful not to call it a "greatest hits" collection, instead preferring to refer to it as "an album

I refrained from posting this update immediately following the death of Pope John Paul II out of respect for the many Catholic visitors to this site. I think enough time has passed that I can finally update the Dead Pool. Back in September of 2000, my brothers and I selected
I recently uncovered some gems from my past and I've been sharing excerpts from the documents I found. Below are thoughts I jotted down on October 3, 1996. It's interesting to read what I thought about Roberto Alomar on that day considering the praise I heaped upon him only nine
