The Wonder Years

ugh...I can't believe they didn't end up together

Is it weird that even in my advanced age, I still have a crush on Winnie Cooper? I'm probably just projecting many of my Jr./High School memories into Kevin Arnold as I re-watch these episodes.

High School in particular was very awkward. Watching all of my friends become cool, ladies men (teenage fathers), jocks (failed athletes), bullies (murderers)...etc. I was never one to try to fit in, and even if I wanted to, none of those cliques appealed to me. Well, the ladies men crew did, but I was painfully shy and insecure then, so it probably wouldn't have worked out. Those were definitely strange times for this peace loving, hip hop junkie.

No regrets on my part though. Towards the end I found a couple of kindred spirits, made inroads with the nerd/arts crowd, and made my mum proud by graduating high school, which apparently was a big deal.

I would have to do it all over again in College.

Hedo Haters, Fall The Eff Back

I get the feeling that there are a lot of Raptors fans who would have been perfectly happy with Hedo missing his game winning free throws yesterday. Would have given them more reason to boo, bitch and complain, which they seem to be enjoying lately.

I acknowledge that his play has been below average, and during the last few weeks you could say his performance has been downright poor. He's just not making his shots. I'm not expecting him to match the 18 points he averaged during his playoff run last year (not on this team), but if he can score anywhere between 13-15 points, I'll be happy. His points are down, but he's still making plays.

The Raptors are having a good run right now, so let's try to keep the vibes positive. The timing of the pizza commercial is Shakespeare level tragic, and there's the issue of his large contract, but it's still relatively early. Let's give Turk a chance to work through his problems.

Getting My Life Together: Take 4

Rolling...

It’s been almost a year to the day since I've made the long walk to the Downsview 108 bus stop: the starting point of my long commute into downtown Toronto.

I’ll be returning to my previous post; an administrator of sorts for an organization that provides insurance for accountants. A lethal combination of two of the most exciting industries to work in, and a perfect environment for someone who loves all things art, culture and entertainment.

Sarcasm aside, I’m thankful for the opportunity, as it’s been quite difficult paying the bills while surfing the internet and stalking Twitter/Facebook pages (though I’m sure there are people out there who manage to do so).

Gonna be a difficult first week. This waking up early business is not cool.

Yo, this Beecher vs Schillinger thing is getting a little tired. I wish the writers would move on.
