Previously I posted a picture of James wearing a tie from his photo shoot for It's a Tie.com. Well, I have a few more and you'll find them in Pictures. Remember, James refused to wear a tie so the tie you see around his neck was added digitally in
Sometimes my favourite part of a song is the silence. Well, not the silence exactly, but the silent pause followed by a return of the tune. You know what I'm talking about, right? The song is clicking along fine when suddenly it stops. There is a period of about three
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled today that Parliament has the constitutional right to criminalize marijuana possession. Of course, decriminalizing small amounts of pot is well within the rights of Parliament as well. Prime Minister Paul Martin says he will reintroduce a bill proposed by Jean Chretien that would wipe
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I would like to say that Mike is being ridiculous in his review of "Something's Gotta Give" and rather then singing music in his head if he had taken the time

I don't believe it's supposed to be 5 Degrees Celsius on December 23rd in Toronto. Is this winter or spring? It looks like it's going to be unseasonably warm for the next week. Who needs a white Christmas? Happy Festivus Everyone!

A very interesting site entitled American Brandstand 2003 presents some startling statistics. They tracked all the mentions of brands in the Billboard Top 20 singles chart in order "to demonstrate to our clients that pop culture relevance is a key dynamic in modern brand strategy". The results are staggering. There
It's about time. For years I've wondered why there was no John A. Macdonald action figure, and now there is. It's the dream of every child to have a John A. Macdonald action figure of their very own, isn't it? Canadian Legends is offering this figure to help us start
I've received six votes thus far from fellow Hooray For Everything slo-pitch teammates. Coincidentally, all six have voted for the same name. It seems Andrea can be rather influential when she wants to be. If you're a member of the team and haven't yet voted, please visit our voting page
When the Philadelphia Flyers lost yesterday 4-1 to the Atlanta Thrashers, it moved the Toronto Maple Leafs into first place overall. Prior to the Flyer's loss, the Leafs were technically in second place despite have the same number of points as the Flyers. At this exact moment, the Leafs and
Today is my little brother's birthday. I can't believe the little guy (who has been much bigger than I for a very long time) is 27 years old. Sure, he's my brother and I'm a tad bit biased, but I honestly believe there isn't a kinder, more generous spirit on
This season started so promising for the Bills. They won their first two games in convincing fashion, outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 69-17. I was just about ready for a serious run at the Super Bowl that has eluded Buffalo over the years. Then, everything fell apart.

One of the feel good stories of 2003 has got to be the capture of Saddam Hussein. We've all heard the story of heroic U.S. troops capturing Hussein thanks to some brilliant U.S. intelligence work. This is the story told by the American government so it has to
Last month I wrote about the Ferberization of James. At the time we had just begun teaching him how to fall asleep and stay in his own bed until morning. We were following the methods of Dr. Richard Ferber, and they were working wonderfully. Now, James is an amazing sleeper.
Is there anything better than the Leafs and Habs on Hockey Night in Canada? The answer is yes, a Leafs victory over the Habs on Hockey Night in Canada. With about a half a minute remaining in regulation, Mats Sundin carried the puck into the offensive zone along the right
The finale of the Something's Gotta Give miniseries... I'd like to discuss the actual movie I saw this afternoon. If you're just joining the discussion, you may want to scroll down and read the previous four entries. Something's Gotta Give has received quite a few positive reviews. The lead actor
Yet another installment in the Something's Gotta Give miniseries... I've officially become that guy. You know that guy...the one who's always talking about his kid, always thinking about his kid, constantly missing his kid and being reminded of his kid. You feel sorry for that guy because he no
And so continues the Something's Gotta Give miniseries... This afternoon's movie was scheduled to start at 12:10. As if. Advertisers must love movie goers. Is there a more captive audience? You've paid big bucks for the flick so you've got your over priced food and you're comfy in your
And so begins the Something's Gotta Give miniseries... I remember the days we would go out to see a movie and there was a small concession stand on your way to your seat. Popcorn and pop were the staples but you could also buy an assortment of candy treats. Nothing
Taryn had a free pass to a Famous Players theatre, so we shipped James off to Grandma's house and ventured northbound to the Colossus Theatre. I picked Kill Bill Volume 1 for our last freebie, so this time it was Taryn's choice. A couple of years ago I made a
