Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age - I'm 30 years old. I don't think I've accomplished an extraordinary amount in this time, but I'm sure there are those who have accomplished less. Here are some things other people had accomplished by my age. Mark Twain published his
If you're a member of Raging Storm who is wondering why the statistics on our homepage haven't been updated yet, I have an explanation. Andge was supposed to get the details to Steph who was to send me the figures on Tuesday morning. Steph got sick and although she's better
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. A couple of days late and more than a few dollars short, here are the ten I heard today. Marcy Playground - The Vampires of New YorkGuns N' Roses - Pretty Tied
Decent movies are so few and far between it's amazing that I've managed to watch three great movies in under a week. I've already written about Spider-Man 2 which I saw on Sunday but I've since seen two more movies I thought were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed "Thirteen Conversations About
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Janis Joplin - Cry Baby That's right, it's the
I've added four new CDs to my MP3 collection. The new additions are Velvet Revolver's Contraband, The Tragically Hip's In Between Evolution and the two new acoustic Pearl Jam CDs, Live At Benaroya Hall, October 22, 2003. All four are awesome. That's 503 complete albums and 7766 songs. Check it
A character on The Simpsons is coming out of the closet next season. Matt Groening himself dropped this bombshell but gave no clues as to which character it will be. The obvious guess is Waylon Smithers who is as queer as a three dollar bill, but that's too easy, right?

I know I'm a little late with this one, but we in Raging Storm lost another close ball game last night to Hollywood by a score of 13-11. I actually bought a new glove yesterday but it wasn't worked in enough by game time to use it. The less said
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I love Jim (and you too, Mike) SabrinaI appreciate that. The world needs more Sabrinas.
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission late last night. Hi again, Mike. Just thought I'd put in my vote for the return of the weekly MP3. I have used it to try out System of a Down and Hayden,
James arrived five weeks early by emergency c-section, so I missed some of the grosser aspects of childbirth. Last night, Taryn was having slight contractions. This morning, they're still there and she's feeling awfully crampy. This past weekend, she lost her mucous plug, and yes, I'm aware of how disgusting
CFNY Edge 102 didn't air Mike McCready's preview of tracks from "Live at Benaroya Hall" last night but if I heard correctly they'll be airing it tonight at 22:00 EDT. If you don't live in the GTA, you can listen online.
Another Blue Jay is in Cooperstown. When Paul Molitor was inducted into the baseball hall of fame yesterday, he became the third Blue Jay to enter the hall joining Phil Neikro and Dave Winfield. Molitor played 21 seasons: 15 with the Milwaukee Brewers and three each with the Jays and
In Bush League Bell I wrote about how my home phone service was abruptly cancelled on Friday afternoon and on Saturday I gave you an update which was basically that Bell can but won't do anything until I call their customer service this morning. I just got off the phone
I formatted my C: drive yesterday and reinstalled Windows XP. I felt it was time for a clean slate. I had the installation files for all the applications I use ready on my D: drive so getting things to the way I like it was fairly painless. The first application
Remember when I told you about Pearl Jam's first ever full-length, mostly acoustic live show being released on a double disc CD entitled "Live at Benaroya Hall". It's due July 27th and Mike McCready will preview tracks from the double album via a live, one-hour radio broadcast beginning 20:00
Fresh from seeing a childhood hero on the big screen I've learned another fictional cartoon world I loved is being made into a movie. DreamWorks film company, co-founded by Steven Spielberg, will oversee the live-action movie, scheduled for release in summer 2006. I was a big fan of The Transformers
Sam Raimi, I salute you. I've just returned from the theatre where I saw Spider-Man 2 and it was everything I hoped it would be and more. Of all the comic book super heroes, Spider-Man has always been my favourite. A couple of summers ago I thoroughly enjoyed Spider-Man but
"A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." - Alfred E. Wiggam
Pat Hentgen announced his retirement earlier today. He retires 131-112 with a 4.32 ERA in 344 career games, 306 career starts, with Toronto, St. Louis and Baltimore. He's fourth in wins (107) starts (238), inning pitched (1,636), strikeouts (1,028) and shutouts (nine) on the Blue Jays' all-time
Where's my head at? Yesterday's Friday Five was completely inaccurate. My favourite all-time song with a female on lead vocals is "Kool Thing" from Sonic Youth. From Sonic Youth's 1990 album Goo, "Kool Thing" was indeed a cool thing. You can't understate Sonic Youth's influence on the scene that would
TV Show Intros - Take a trip down memory lane and watch the intros to your old favourite TV shows. I just got back from my trip where I saw my old friends "The Dukes of Hazzard", "Transformers", "The Muppet Show", "Saved By The Bell", "He-Man", "Growing Pains", "Fraggle Rock"
For whom the Bell tolls, I dunno, but it's not tolling for me, that's for sure. If you read Bush League Bell from yesterday, you know my home phone service was abruptly cancelled yesterday. I was steaming mad because they wouldn't even look at the issue until this morning. Now,
There are four new shots now posted in Pictures. Two were taken yesterday and two were taken last weekend at Perkins. Some members of Taryn's family were in town for a reunion brunch.
