My Link of the Day

Celebrities' Favourite Swear Words - I first watched this on the weekend and I now think it's worthy to share.  It's a few celebrities sharing their favourite swear words with us.  I think it's appropriate considering the U.S. House of Representatives just approved a bill that would give the

Maple Leafs 6, Sabres 5

What an entertaining hockey game.  After two periods, the Maple Leafs trailed Buffalo 5-2, a team we never play well against.  The third period, however, proved to be one of the most exciting of the season.  We managed to score three unanswered goals including a Gary Roberts tip of an

The Ides of March

We're all familiar with the story of Julius Caesar's death.  On this date in 44 B.C., he was stabbed to death in the senate house.  A soothsayer had warned Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March". Today is the Ides of March, but what the heck does the Ides

March Madness

Many consider it to be the greatest sporting tournament in North America.  I have to admit, it's pure madness and as exciting as hell.  The selections for the NCAA 2004 Division I Men's Basketball Championship tournament have been announced.  Claiming the No. 1 seeds for each of the four regions

What's With The Green?

You may have noticed a different appearance for torontomike.com.  It's been soaked in green.  Don't worry, this isn't permanent.  The green will only be here through St. Patrick's Day. The best part is, because all the presentation in this site is driven by a cascading style sheet, it took

Julia Roberts On Crack

I've made no secret of the fact I hate Julia Roberts.  In my humble opinion, she's the most over rated actress in motion picture history.  Still, I was shocked to read this news story earlier today. Julia Roberts was charged with possession of crack with intent to sell and deliver,

Maple Leafs 3, Canadiens 4

With the playoffs right around the corner, this is the time for the Maple Leafs to get hot.  Instead, they're playing rather uninspired hockey. Sure, tonight's game was entertaining. A storied rivalry, thousands of Leaf fans in Montreal for the game and a see-saw battle with a few good fights

Trippy

I've been feeling under the weather the past couple of days.  Along with a sore throat I've been rather feverish. Last night I was crashed out in bed when I was joined by James who wanted to watch Treehouse with Daddy.  Daddy was in no mood for Treehouse, so I

Todd Bertuzzi

A number of years ago, my brothers and I gathered around the television to watch an OHL playoff game.  It was an elimination game between the Belleville Bulls and the Guelph Storm. Normally we don't make it a point to watch OHL playoff games, but our cousin Mark Gowan was
