There comes a time in a few men’s lives when he’s surrounded by so much estrogen, he
needs to look at his lap to remind himself of his manhood. Surrounded by 8500 people packed into the Metro Convention Centre, 80% women, I attended Oprah’s Lifeclass.
It was a weird feeling to say the least, and not so much because of the overload of estrogen, but more so because just a couple of years ago I was Oprah’s biggest hater! I thought she was self-absorbed...
As many of you know, my entire life I’ve been addicted to the music and moves of Michael Jackson. Don’t believe me, check it out (PS – You’re not allowed to laugh… too much at least ):
Oh the memories… screaming girl fans and being showed up by some wicked poppers… oh the days… alright back to reality.
After a long year of waiting, yesterday the day arrived… the MJ Cirque du Soleil was in town and we had...
Think of your business. Now imagine you are the ONLY one that knows about it. How far is your business going to go? You guessed it, not very far.
Your business grows based on how many people know what you do. The more people know what you do… and I mean exactly what you do… the more people can refer people to you when they talk to someone that has a problem that you can provide a solution to.

I know you’ve all seen Houdini, or David Copperfield, but have you seen the magic that takes place at the Toronto Raptors Practice Court?

In my mind it became so clear, when you follow your passion, you discover happiness. Happiness is all we ever want in this life, yet all to often we equate it to money or actions.

Well it was one of the main reasons over 100 students...
“We Need to get there… NOW!”
That’s usually what you’ll hear around this time as people begin ‘rushing’ TIFF movies. You see, for a select few tickets have been purchased for many of the movies… for us others, we join the rush line and hope that those people with tickets don’t show up! Once they don’t, we purchase tickets and take their seats… talk about an efficient revenue stream eh!

It’s usually very difficult to find times when good and fun coincide. Think about it… Good Grades? Comes from studying = not fun. A Good Meal? Not so much fun paying the bill at the end. Good Morning? Only if you’re the only one that enjoys waking up on Monday mornings.
However, there are those rare occasions when Good and Fun cross paths. One of these such situations occurred on April 11th in the heart of downtown Toronto…
By 9pm the house was...
So after what’s seemed like eternity, I finally decided to check out a baseball game! I figured they’re the one team that’s hot right now, and well might just be the only Toronto team to have a playoff spot in 2010 (Unbelievable.. Believe it!)
The craziest part of the night was seeing a SOLD OUT SKYDOME!!! Man the last time that happened hadddd to be back in 1992, right? Common you can’t honestly tell me close to 50,000 people have checked out the Jays since then!

So it’s almost that time of year again… THE

Basically the City Chase is an awesome adventure race around the city! You are given a sheet of clues, each clue is a challenge somewhere in the city, and you have to navigate yourself through 10 of them before crossing the finish line! In previous years I’ve done challenges such as eating worms, shooting a fire hose, paddling at Ontario Place, pulling a rickshaw, oh… and even pole dancing! HA! It’s...
