Lets rewind for a moment back to my entry of October 6th, 2003 in which I stated the following about Sydney Crosby. Sidney Crosby. Are you familiar with that name? You will be. Sidney Crosby of the Rimouski Oceanic is the CHL Player of the Week. Crosby scored five goals

Maxim Magazine did something interesting with the cover of their current issue. They printed two: one has Paris Hilton in a revealing outfit while the other has Marge Simpson in a sexy low-cut dress while scrubbing the floor. Have a look. She's every man's ideal wife: curvy, wild-haired, and willing
Starting on May 26th, 2003, Rhonda & Jane began counting down the 525 reasons to dump George Bush. Every day they post another reason. You'll want to book mark their site, 525 Reason to Dump Bush and check daily. It's a very interesting read. I can't wait for the top

With a 3-0 lead late in the third, I actually started to relax. The badly needed two points was ours. Then, it got a little hairy. Much like Tom Henke loading the bases before striking out the batter to end the ninth and preserve the 1 run victory, the Maple

I'm done caring. I suppose it's much like that bad accident at the side of the highway. You can't help but look, even though you know you shouldn't. Courtney Love was charged with third-degree assault and reckless endangerment after injuring a man by throwing a microphone stand into the crowd
Bloody Pingu Throw - This is the far bloodier sequel to the addictive "Hit the Penguin" flash game we've all played. This one is just as fun. My high score is 1026.

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I just wanted to congratulate you and Taryn on little Michelle. We definitely need more women in this family!!! The ultrasound pictures are amazing -- you can already tell she's going
Yesterday afternoon Taryn and I were driving along Bay Street on our way to the ultrasound listening to our favourite radio station. The Flys' "Got You (Where I Want You)" came on, and we instantly began singing along. "Got You (Where I Want You)" is over five years old now,
Every File Format in the World - "This is a list of file name extension or suffixes that indicate the format or usage of a file and a brief description of that format." I found this very thorough list to be quite useful. Maybe you will too. Or maybe not.
Mercedes McCambridge was 85. She won an Oscar for the 1949 film "All the King's Men" and later provided the raspy voice of the demon-possessed girl in "The Exorcist".
Taryn and I have returned from her ultrasound. This particular ultrasound machine was brand new and gave us an excellent glance at how our unborn child is doing. She's doing well. That's right, we're preparing to welcome Michelle into the world this summer. James is getting a little sister.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but one of the most popular tales about St. Patrick never happened. The popular story is that St. Patrick once stood on a hilltop and banished all the snakes from Ireland. In fact, the island nation was never home to any
Leave it to a player named Green to ruin St. Patrick's day for the Maple Leafs. Travis Green got his revenge on his former team scoring both goals in a game we really needed to win if we wanted to take a serious run at winning the tough Northeast division.
If you watch American Idol, you'll be interested to hear there is a strong Toronto connection with one of the finalists. They may list Leah LaBelle as being from Seattle, Washington, but she was born and raised right here in Toronto. She's the daughter of a Bulgarian pop-singer mother and
For a long time, there was just Taryn and I and the dog. Then, a little over two years ago, there was a baby. James has always been cute and a lot of fun to play with, but only recently could I say in all honesty there were three people
