Excuse Me?! You said WHAT?

Today I rode my bike to work and I have to say that man does my ass hurt. I really need a new seat, in fact I need one of those gel padded seats. I think that is the way to go. Anyways the meat of this post goes like this...

I was riding home, well actually to my parents place. Along the way, I was riding along 47 and came to an intersection. Well I was watching this mercedes and wanted to make sure that it saw me. And of course he didnt and then at the last minute he did and did this jerk stop. So I proceded to go through the intersection and looked at the guy. I didnt really think that I glarred at him but I rolled my eyes or shook my head.

As I rode by and he went through the intersection he yelled out

'What are you looking at CHINK?!'

I couldnt believe what I had just heard. I quickly did a sharp turn to go back towards the guy but I went too sharply and went over the handlebars. Luckily I landed on my feet and when I picked up my bike to get on and chase after the guy, I noticed that my chain was off. So I put it back on and then went to chase the guy but he was long gone. I did find a mercedes that looked like his going into an underground car park but choose not to follow. But man was I pissed. My head was in a haze for an hour.

I'm not even sure what I would of done had I made that turn properly...

Anyways here is some new Doves...

Also, I will be going to europe in the summer and Pearl Jam just anounced some dates over there but timing isnt right...too bad...that would of been awesome to see them in London or Berlin!

Doves-Kingdom of Rust

Adidas Has the Ads going

You have to see this blooper from Hockey Central on Rogers Sportsnet...

oh yah...go canucks go!

Things are starting to happen

Tonight is Game 1 of the playoffs. Extremely excited b/c we were not in it last year...but hopefully things go off to a great start...c'mon nucks!
Also, Doves have release a new album 'Kingdom of Rust'...I have only heard a few songs but it sounds like more of their best!

Here is a video from Jools Holland. Damn brits! they get they best music programming...enjoy the vid

No Can Do

My moms was a huge Hall and Oates fan and so it was on all the time in my house growing up. I was sent this video and I must say that seeing the unlikely pairing of Darryl Hall and Chromeo matched together redo No Can Do was very surprising. But dude, it rocks! check it out...



Also apparently the Chelsea Liverpool game was cracker. The game was tied 4-4 but Chelsea held on to win on aggregate 7-5. What a game to have been at. I will try to catch it on replay on TSN later tonight.

Cant Sleep, What Else to Do!

Its is in the wee hours of the morning and I cant sleep. Maybe its the turkey waiting, no, more like kicking to get out of my stomach.

I thought that I would check on the status of my blog and came to the realization that I no longer may any attention to it. I should but I dont, so now on I will do my best to be a good friend and nourish this blog back to health once again!


Nucks won their division for the 2nd time in three years...not bad...i bet there are a lot of broken ankles that are healing just in time for the playoffs. Burrows has been pretty clutch for the last little while. Lets hope he can keep it up and watch out for Sundin, its his time to shine.

Got my Pearl Jam ten re-issuse...very please about that. I forgot how awesome that album really is. It hasnt really left my cd player for the last couple of weeks...
Finally got really into the police over the weekend watch Spectacle with Elvis Costello. He was interviewing the Police this past episode and there was some cool insight into the band. Here is their combo performance of 'Watching the Detectives/Walking On the Moon'. Very cool...



This is a clip of how Roxanne came to be and how Sting originally wrote the song



Thats it for now...time to try to sleep so I dont lose it on the students in the mornin' b/c I'm grumpy!!!

Travis

Well...its always seems its a long time between post now...I suppose thats they way it goes...

Last night I went to see Travis at the Commodore...

what a great way to see a great band. they had tonnes of energy and it was a great time all around. i love the fact that i can call down to the commodore to find out what time the band will go on stage and finish watching the hockey game! nucks lost though...

anyways here is the set list...good set...


i took pics and some vids but too lazy to post it...haha
