Lining Up Is Hard To Do

In order to deposit the cash and cheques donated towards my run for the cure, I lined up at a CIBC branch during lunch.  It was excruciating.  After five minutes I started feeling agitated and I believe I stood in that line for a good half hour before reaching the

Pea Soup Fog

I don't think I've ever seen fog as thick as it was this morning around these parts.  It was a very cool effect and I snapped a few pictures. Check this one out. Spooky shite.

Leave Your Address

I've been sent a number of messages via the Contact Mike form lately.  Several Hip fans wanted the pre-sale password, others wants a Gmail invite and some had questions or comments to share.  Unfortunately, a hand full of you never typed your email address before submitting the form.  Without you

Guest Blog Entry

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following submission earlier today. Today I ate an ant...and it tasted like lemon.  We went to the Botanical Orchid Garden in Puyo and saw orchids as small as your pinky toe nail.  We ate

Epidemic

I don't mean to beat this horse to death, but on my drive home this afternoon I heard Eminem's "My Name Is" on CFNY Edge 102.  That's twice in a span of three days and I haven't had much time for radio listening.  This is officially an epidemic. "My Name

Alan Cross Sez

Just yesterday I wrote a blog entry hearing Eminem's "My Name Is" on CFNY Edge 102.  It seemed strange to me that this particular Eminem song was played and I wrote Edge 102's program director Alan Cross about it.  Alan and I have exchanged emails in the past, you may

My Name Is

This morning I heard Eminem's "My Name Is" on CFNY Edge 102.  When "My Name Is" was introducing the world to a white rapper from Detroit by hitting the top of every top 40 chart on the continent, Edge 102 wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.  You can

I will be participating in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, on Sunday, October 3, 2004.  Many of you have already supported me by making a donation and I appreciate it.  Including my offline donations, I've currently raised $265. Every penny counts so if you can

My Sports Wishlist

The following are my current sports wishes in no particular order. I wish Vince Carter would stop being such a suck.  He just signed a long-term, big-money contract to play in this city and now he wants to be traded.  I wish he'd rescind that request, play his ass off,

At noon today a pre-sale started for The Tragically Hip's upcoming Canadian tour.  This pre-sale continues until Thursday at 17:00 EST. I just picked up pretty good floors for the Toronto show on November 26.  I've got the required password for this pre-sale, so if you want it contact

The Globe and Bail

Welcome to When Good Newspapers Go Bad.  The Globe and Mail's website has launched Insider Edition, a desperate attempt to force a new revenue stream.  A great deal of their online content now requires a paid subscription.  I've checked it out, and it appears most of their content now demands

Pepperoni Pizza

As I sit here at my desk enjoying a cold slice of pepperoni pizza for lunch, my mind is flooded with glorious memories of slices past.  If it's possible to love a food, I've been having a passionate love affair with pepperoni pizza for over two decades.  So many positive

HBO Wins Big

Take a look at my 10 favourite tv shows.  Four of the top five originate from HBO.  Their programming has been heads and tails above the competition for years and years now.  I've been singing their praises for quite some time despite the fact it is illegal for me to

The Emmys

I would like to thank the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for getting it right last night.  For the first time in as long as I can remember, I agreed with their choices for both Best Drama and Best Comedy.  The Sopranos won for Best Drama and Arrested Development

Watching Sidney

I first wrote about Sidney Crosby last year after Wayne Gretzky stated that Crosby was the best hockey player he'd seen since Mario Lemieux.  He went on to lead the CHL in scoring. This season he's already got two games under his belt with the Rimouski Oceanic and he's recorded
