Yesterday afternoon, Greece upset France in Euro 2004 quarter final play and Toronto's Greek community went nuts much like our Portuguese community did on Thursday. Toronto's largest Greek community is along The Danforth, where much of the highly overrated "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was filmed. When the soccer match
Almost eleven months ago, I messed up my knee playing ball. Although originally diagnosed with a torn meniscus, the MRI revealed I had actually fractured my leg and torn my ACL. The end result was six months of physiotherapy during which time I was not allowed to put strain on

Whoa nelly, it's gonna be close. The Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck with the federal election only a couple of days away. It's anyone's ballgame. As I see it, it's all up to us. By us, I mean Ontarians. Out west all I hear about are Conservative loving

I am really looking forward to watching Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" in theatres. I have become so particular with the movies I'll pay to see, very few make the cut. The last three movies to join this exclusive club where the two Kill Bills and now this. I just
I want to wish my girl a very happy birthday today. I used to joke with her that she was good as my wife so long as she stayed in her 20s. Now that she's running out of years before the big 3-0, I'm seriously considering renaging on my pledge
I added two new pictures to my Pictures page. Both are of a pond a friend has in his Toronto backyard. I'm telling you, there are dozens and dozens of fish in this stunning pond. It's the coolest thing. I could sit there and watch them for hours and hours.

A heavily armed man says he called off plans for an east-end shooting spree Wednesday afternoon following a chance encounter with a friendly dog. After parking his gun-packed car near Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue, he stepped into a nearby park to load his weapons. There, he said,
Dear Alan, How are things at CFNY Edge 102? You may recall I wrote you back in late March regarding the line up for Edgefest 2004. I wrote "Good Charlotte represents everything your station isn't. They have absolutely no edge. They wear black and make up and try to act

With a birthday quickly approaching, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has been benefitting. By my birthday I'm to renew my driver's license, renew my vehicle plates and get my car an emissions test. If I fail to do these three things, I'm not legally allowed to drive. Lets see... Renewing
Admittedly, I'm not a very big fan of soccer. In fact, I rarely pay attention to the sport unless it's during the World Cup or big ass tournaments like the one taking place right now in Portugal. Yesterday I actually paid close attention to the results from Euro 2004 because
T-Mac isn't happy and has been begging for a trade from the Orlando Magic. Executives from several NBA teams have said Orlando and the Houston Rockets are close to a deal sending McGrady to the Rockets for a package including Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley. It looks like T-Mac is
We in Raging Storm played the Booty Pirates last night and won a close one. It never should have been as close as it was. We were up 10-5 going into the final inning. If the defense tightens up, this could be a competitive team. The statistics will be updated
One year ago today I wrote an entry about Canada bashing I entitled "O Canada". Since it's election season and many have lost site of what this nation is all about, I'm pressing rewind and reprinting what I wrote on June 21, 2003 below. I still believe every word. Canada

I finished third in my U.S. Open pool this weekend. That's not too bad out of sixteen entries. Of course, it doesn't make me a dime either. My selection of Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els lost to a team of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els.
Barry Bonds is working his way towards the very exclusive 700 Club and now stands at 676. Bonds is also one of four active players currently in the 500 Club now that Ken Griffey Jr. has joined. Griffey hit a 2-2 fastball from Matt Morris into the right-field stands to
