I Tell Ya Tuesday - Nation of Champions

I Tell Ya Tuesday is a quick-hit thought of the day.

I Tell Ya...

Canadians should be the only ones allowed to commission championship trophies.

Canadian-based





American-based




'nuff said.

Monday Morning Music - Think For Yourself

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I have in my head when I wake up.

Nickelback "Burn It To The Ground"



I know, I know, "They suck."  Heard it.  Heard it.  Heard it.  This is the popular refrain from the public when Nickelback is mentioned.  These are the same people that call Metallica sellouts, and Christina Aguilera fat.  Look, we all love to belong to something bigger than ourselves, but just think for yourself.  Music is art, and art is subjective.  I know Nickelback only has 3 songs; the power ballad, the tounge-in-cheek party song, and the stadium rock anthem (as seen above), but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith still sell out arenas around the world but haven't done an unique album in decades (outside of Aerosmith's, "Honkin' on Bobo" which didn't sell nearly as well as their previous offerings).  What I'm saying is, I'd wager that if you clicked on the link above, you just might be tapping your heel and/or bobbing your head by the time it's over.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Music - "Have You Ever Noticed..."

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I had in my head when I woke up.

Bobby McFerrin - Seinfeld theme song



"Seinfeld" ran on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998, lasting nine seasons.  It developed a cult-like following thanks to classic episodes like, "The Bubble Boy", "The Puffy Shirt", and, "The Contest."  The theme will be instantly recognizable to anyone from my generation and, thanks to syndication, to others as well.

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Music - Missing the Argos

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I had in my head when I woke up.

Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away


As a Toronto Argonauts season ticket holder for the past 6 seasons, I've come to really enjoy the non-televised player introductions.  My favourite to date was the use of this song.  There was a corresponding video that I'm really, really hoping the Argos will post on their YouTube channel (which you should really subscribe to!).

Enjoy!

Monday Morning Music - Anyway

Monday Morning Music is whatever tune I've got in my head when I wake up.

"Anyway" (hidden version) by Dynamite Hack


Really entertaining album.  If you're patient (or not paying attention), this little gem is hiding at the end of the playlist.  Enjoy!

I Tell Ya Tuesday - Hey! Watch it!

I Tell Ya Tuesday is a quick-hit thought of the day.

I Tell Ya...

There should be a yellow line down the middle of every sidewalk that you should stay to the right of, just like on the road.
