We in Raging Storm played another double-header last night, this time against Attack, splitting the games winning the opener 17-2 and losing the closer 12-9. We'll call this a tale of two games. In game one, we absolutely dominated. For a while, it looked like we would shut out the
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten I heard today. Method Man & Redman - RockwilderViolent Femmes - American MusicNirvana - Here I AmThe Statler Brothers - New York CityHayden - TragedyShabba Ranks - Housecall
I remember the day I learned Candlestick Park in San Francisco was changing its name to 3 Com Park. At the time, I thought it was sacreligious. How could they just change the name like that all because some company paid them for the rights? Little did I know it
I get questions all the time that take me approximately 2.2 seconds to answer with the help of Google. What are the lyrics for song X? What time zone is country X in? How do you get rid of the X virus? Where can I download application X? Who
Speaking of HBO, the fourth season of the awesome HBO show Six Feet Under premieres tonight. The timing is perfect because The Sopranos just wrapped up last Sunday and I'm still in "quality tv mode" every Sunday at 9. I often waffle between Six Feet Under and The Sopranos as
TBS has purchased syndication rights for HBO's Sex in the City and will begin airing episodes next week. As anyone who's watched a movie on TBS knows, they censor the hell out of whatever they're showing to ensure not a naughty word or image makes it to air. As anyone
Do you remember that report on terrorism released by the State Department in the USA back in April? It said attacks had declined last year to 190, down from 198 in 2002 and 346 in 2001. The 2003 figure would have been the lowest level in 34 years and a
There's a growing trend in the United States that sound an awful lot like payola. As you'll read in this Reuters article, many record labels are shelling out thousands of dollars per week to have songs played between midnight and 06:00. You see, they have these songs aired as
"Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal." - Ray Charles
A few weeks back I got a hold of the debut album from a local band by the name of Billy Talent. I've been spinning this disc like crazy since because it might just be the best new CD I've heard since Queens of the Stone Age and Audioslave. Billy
Back on April 1st, I wrote about Gmail, the new email service from Google. At the time, I thought it might be an April Fool's Day joke because Gmail promised to offer its users 1 GB of space and all the excellent search capabilities we've come to expect from Google.
"Oh, honey, you're not the world's worst mother. What about that freezer lady in Georgia?"
I fear the Conservative Party will win the election on June 28th and Stephen Harper will be my new Prime Minister. Harper's Conservative Party is starting to show its stripes. Comments are being made by Conservative Party candidates that suggest they are homophobic and anti-abortion. Anti-abortion is itself a misnomer
The Royal York hotel was opened on June 11, 1929 by Lord Willingdon, Canada's governor-general. That means she turned 75 years old today. At the time, The Royal York was the largest hotel and tallest building in the British Empire. That's hard to believe considering how dwarfed she is now

I saw something this morning I haven't seen in a long time. Someone was on the shoulder of a 400 series highway with his thumb extended trying to hitchhike. People don't hitchhike any more. In fact, people haven't really hitchhiked since the 70s. With all the sickos and weirdos about,
I'm always surprised by the number of people who use Hotmail addresses as their primary email account. I'm at the point now where I'm basically going to refuse to email someone if all I have for them is a Hotmail address. A guy on our slo-pitch team just sent an
Ray Charles was 73. He was the Grammy-winning crooner who blended gospel and blues in such crowd-pleasers as "What'd I Say" and ballads like "Georgia on My Mind". A friend of mine recently gave me his record player and a few records. I hooked this record player up in my
Tonight I received telephone calls from both the Conservative Party of Canada and the Liberal Party. I must be on some list because Taryn isn't getting these calls, just me. Earlier this month I wrote that I was seriously considering casting my vote for the NDP. My politics clash with
Ray Bourque, Paul Coffey and Larry Murphy have been elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame. All three were defensemen and all three are now 43 years old. Bourque and Coffey were no brainers but did Larry Murphy deserve to get in? I suppose he does if you look at

No time for a summer friend No time for the love you send Seasons change and so did I You need not wonder why You need not wonder why There's no time left for you No time left for you No time, no time, no time, no time No time,
Roger Clemens is an arrogant SOB but he's the best damn pitcher I've ever seen. In 1997 and 1998 Toronto Blue Jays fans like myself saw first hand how good he really is. All he did was go out and lead the American League in wins, strike outs and ERA
I was looking over the statistics for our Smells Like Sour website when I noticed a disturbing trend I had to write about on the Smells Like Sour Blog. Good Charlotte is very popular. Quick, name the song that has generated the most interest on this site. If you answered
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. Yesterday I was so busy, I didn't get a chance to do it. I got your angry emails, so one day late here are the ten I heard today. Smashing Pumpkins -
