Statistics Canada

What would we do without Statistics Canada?  They just completed a study into what is stressing Canadians.  10,151 people participated in this study for six years and the results are mind blowing. The common stressors are: doing too many things at oncenot having enough moneymarital problemsconcerns about childrenSix years

Maple Leafs 2, Islanders 0

It's a completely different perspective watching a game live in person as opposed to checking it out on the television.  You can watch plays develop and anticipate maneuvers when you can see the entire ice surface at all times.  Hockey is truly a wonderful game. From where I was sitting,

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following submission earlier today. As a 25 year old product of the "MTV Generation", I find it very hard to be overly enthusiastic or excited about anything.  Yet, it is 3:30 p.m. on

State of Dubya

Today, Dubya is due to give his annual State of the Union Address.  The Independent has compiled some figures to give us an idea as to the real state of the union.  You'll want to take a look at this.  Here's a brief excerpt: 232: Number of American combat deaths

Deja Vu

Howard Stern recently turned the big 5-0.  This morning they replayed an appearance from his birthday show by Triumph the Comic Insult Dog.  It was pretty damn funny.  I've seen and heard bits and pieces of Triumph the Comic Insult Dog on Conan, the MTV Video Awards and his latest

James in the NICU Ward

In honour of James' 2nd birthday today, I'm delving into the vault for a couple of pictures from that great day of January 20th, 2002. Here's James meeting Mommy for the very first time and here's James in the NICU ward surrounded by a proud Papa and Uncle Ryan and

Happy Birthday James!

Two years ago today I was settling in to watch the St. Louis Rams take on the Green Bay Packers for the NFC Championship.  Then the phone rang.  Five weeks ahead of schedule, Taryn was in labour.  I remember putting on the scrubs and watching while they delivered James via

Nick Carter Update

No, I'm not a fan of The Backstreet Boys.  I do, however, pause and read articles concerning Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.  You see, Nick Carter is the only celebrity I've ever played ball with and I consider him a buddy.  You can read all about it here. My buddy Nick

Equal Treatment

As promised, I've started posting an entry here every time I submit a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. In my previous post, I also indicated what other songs from the artist had appeared on previous editions of SLS.  I also did this with my post

SLS Submission

I've just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "Reptilia" by The Strokes.  It's a great tune from a great band.  No further justification required.  I dig it. The Strokes have been well represented on SLS.  "Last Nite" appeared on SLS6, "Hard to

Guest Blog Entry

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com.  I received the following submission earlier today. It feels horrible to be a T.O sports fan right now, and although things change fast, let's look at the situation.  Leafs are looking a lot more like the team

New Videos

This afternoon was James' 2nd birthday party.  He was spoiled as usual and I've got the video evidence to prove it. Visit Videos to check out six clips from the festivities.

SLS Submission

I've just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" by The White Stripes.  I think every song on Elephant is SLS-worthy, so I'm essentially submitting this track as it's the third single off the

Mr. Mugs

I just found a very old Mr. Mugs book.  Mr. Mugs was a sheep dog who starred in a series of books designed to help young children learn to read.  I had several as a young child and even read them in kindergarten.  It's fair to say Mr. Mugs had

Maple Leafs 0, Flyers 4

6-1, 7-1, 4-1 and 4-0.  Those are the scores from the last four Maple Leafs - Flyers games.  All four games were Philadelphia victories.  The combined score of the four games is an embarrassing 21-3.  That's horrible. Tonights game was dreadful to watch.  The offense didn't show up and the

Not In-Vince-able

I'm bracing myself for the worst.  Vince Carter strained his right quadriceps in the first quarter of Thursday's 78-74 overtime win in New Orleans and is out of action listed as day-to-day.  Carter is far and away our best player and having a pretty darn good season thus far for
