for the record

in the last blogaroo, i may have insinuated the the Toronto Maple Leafs current GM is a "Brain damaged drama student", and that i did not mean. Any judgement on JFJ is irrelevant because he is not able to do what he wants because his decisions must pass a board of governors... who would be the "brain damaged drama students".

Can you imagine that day years ago when Brian Burke pulled a bunch of moves in an afternoon and ended up drafting both Sedin twins as a result. You could never do that if every decision you made had to be approved by a pack of money smart hockey dumb buffoons.

Sure, I was born in Toronto and i was a small boy watching the Leafs in my pajama's brought to tears every year with the annual collapse... apparently it was all Harold Ballard's fault, which was probably true.

Now tonight i watched an interview where Scotty Bowman said he was essentially rejected by the Maple Leafs shareholder brass as a senior advisor.

So an insane organization has the best hockey mind in the world interested in taking over hockey operations... which can only be good for business, which apparently is why the shareholder chiefs are there (to monitor the investment)... And they refuse him keeping with the status quo.

Fortunately there are enough consumers in Toronto that no matter how insane things get the seats will be full.

So if the Toronto Maple Leafs business was nuclear physics would they pass up Albert Einstein and hire a brain damaged drama student?

Sure we are all GM's when time are rough, but a no brainer is a no brainer EH!

Time to Shock...

i was sick today

it's very rare that i call in sick for work, or, anything for that matter... (i remember playing a ROADBED show with a herniated disk in my back). But today i thought i must try to end this month long sickness... which is odd because we sent Kaiya back to daycare today to get a new pool of germs (Daycare is open again from the Christmas break... BREAK!!!) I understand fully now why people go away for Christmas. if you have kids then Christmas break means they are there 24/7 needing you to keep things going... television would work but we loath television and can't in good conscience allow a fine young mind to be attacked by those remorseless marketing weasels and the idiot programs they support.

So it makes sense, don't get sucked into the fools way of a christmas buying frenzy rather drop some cash that will land you and your family in the tropics for a few weeks.

OK

If there is one thing i learned.. or should i say re-learned recently it would be that i must work harder at music this year. i'll give myself some slack for last year with the move and the birth of the twins and all but i need to cut that slack off and keep it in 2007. Of course that is why i am posting a blogaroo and NOT FUCKING WORKING!!

2 side points.. in the news today it was reported "Drug makers spend more on marketing than research" and "Kids' stomach remedies contaminated with microbes"
The kid's stomach one was actually gripe water (a questionable cure for colic)... well if the kid wasn't colicky then wait till you see them after Cryptosporidium attack. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and even death.

It don't matter as long as there is flashy plastic packaging.

Here is a video i made for the ROADBED song Everything
