Wednesday

Sorry nothing really to write about today.....distracted by earlier posts.

Also I will be doing Color Commentary tonight for the Pontiac's VS Fort Mac game. Puck drops 7:30 and Robb and I will be on at 7:15 with the pre game show. Then join us afterwards in the Weatherford Lounge for the post game wrap up and maybe a Coors Light or 2!!!!

Guys, stay healthy!

Tuesday

Unfortunately there are no boobs on the blog post for today but maybe another day there will be. Plus if you just scroll down you can see them again.

Is it just me or is much more difficult to play Call Of Duty-Modern Warfare 2 on-line, during the afternoon. I find it much easier at night and I have a theory behind this. In the afternoon you get the guys/girls that don't really have much else going on and play vids non-stop. In fact there are probably people on-line during the afternoon that haven't yet gone to bed from the night before so they are really really good at the game. So if this theory is correct, the average gamer would be online in the evening after they finished supper and discovered that TV these days blows unless you like Reality shows. Either way, evening or afternoon, I am still not that good at COD-MW2 on-line but find it very addictive.

Speaking of Reality TV. Biggest Loser season finale is on tonight. I have been getting into this show as of late and, even though my fiancee is out of town, I will probably tune in and see who won. The only thing that drives me crazy about the show is that it is 2 hours long. Oh well if it gets too boring I guess I could just video game it up some more.

Ok I lied here is another boob shot...

Stay healthy guys!!!!!!

Stay Healthy

A new study reveals that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy by five years. They studied 500 men and found the one's who looked at breasts exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease. Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out. The study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half.


So here is to men's health!!!!!


Ok your 10 minutes are up time, to get back to work!!!!!!

Friday

Finally got the Christmas tree up. I won't be around B'Ville from the December 24-January 4th so we just set up a little 2 footer in the corner. I was pleased that Leigh-Anne allowed us to decorate bachelor style. We have a string of lights going all the way around our living room....its sweet!!!!

Today it is snowing like hell and I noticed people on the old Facebook complaining about it, saying why does it have to snow. Well people....its December and for the last 1000 years it gets cold and snowy in December. Its life now suck it up and embrace it...trust me, it feels way better to get excited about it than it does to bitch and moan about it.

Everyone everywhere is talking about Tiger Woods. I didn't like him before and I sure won't like him after all these 'transgressions' have been outed.

By the way at what point do you decide you had better get in a car and drive away with your wife chasing you with a golf club. I think that if I was fighting with my wife and she grabbed a golf club I would try and reason with her. How scary is Tigers wife that he thought 'well, I'm getting the f*ck outta here this woman is crazy'?

I believe that if push came to golf club swinging, I could win that fight with my girl....I'm pretty strong!!!!

Maybe not......

Wednesday

Wow 8 weeks have flown by. I was using this blog as a tool for our listeners to play 'The Great Lakeland Scavenge Hunter' so this is my first blog post in about 2 and a half months.

I think the grieving process is done for me when it comes to the horror of Sunday night. I was at Robbs place watching and I think that is the only reason I didn't wreck something. I did say a few curse words tho, but it's time to move on and focus on hockey.

Speaking of hockey there is something in the works for fundraising and point totals with the Bonnyville Pontiacs. A local company will be donating 25 bucks per point that a certain Pontiac player gets throughout the course of this season and 50 bucks per playoff point. We are 2 months into the AJHL season so this point total will be retro-active. I don't want to say any names just yet as it still needs to be confirmed but it should be interesting as the player they will follow has put some big numbers up and should continue his pace for the remainder of the season. When I get things confirmed you, the reader, will be the second to know. (the listener usually hears first then I post stuff here as I am a radio dude).

I am starting to get extremely excited for Christmas!!! Like little kid oh-my-god-what-did-Santa-bring-me-excited!!!! The reason? I have 11 days off from work AND I will be attending Slovakia vs Switzerland and Canada vs USA on New Years Eve at the World Juniors in Saskatoon!!!! I was able to go to a World Junior Game in 1990 or 91 when they were last in Saskatoon but can't remember much other than being behind Canada's bench and not being able to see anything because the players stood the whole time. We migrated up (yah normally people move down) and were able to watch the game. We even made it on TSN!!!!

Well thats all I have for today....

GREAT LAKELAND SCAVENGE HUNTER

Not impressed

I know it has been a long time since I wrote a new B to the Log post but hey here is the latest of whats on my mind
....

There is something seriously wrong with the head coach of the Kindersley Kobras football team. My younger brother who has played football for the last 5 years (most experience on the team), was the starting quarterback in grade 9 and 10, and now entering grade 11, has had his role on the team reduced to special teams.
The head coach has a personal grudge against him for an incident that occurred almost a year ago during class in which my bro and a few of friends were not thinking and recorded them selves saying a few inappropriate things. Now my bro was punished by the school administration in an appropriate way. The head coach who I will now refer to as dick wad, kicked him off the football team saying he is a horrible person. Now that year is done. In the world of high school it's all about learning and my brother has learned a valuable lesson from this. Don't be a dumb ass-plain and simple. But with the new football season upon us he was not allowed to join the team because of this incident from last year.
Then once my parents brought up the fact that school punishments NEVER continue from year to year, the dick wad says his grades are not good enough to play football. Valid point, but my brother is sporting an average in the mid 70's. There are kids on this football team that are down right failing yet they have no grief. There are kids on this team that made bomb threats to the school from payphones yet they have no grief.
Whats the problem here. In a society we live in where forgiveness and second chances are part of what we stand for, why does a 16 year old who just wants to play a sport he loves and excels at have to constantly be punished for such a minor incident? Is dick wad a bully? I would say so. So dick wad, if you are reading this I would like you to maybe listen in on the bullying seminars your student-athletes are required to sit in on. You could learn a few things. This is Canada and if a guy who can go a kill someone gets out of jail and has a new life, gets all his rights back, let the best player in your football team use his talent and play. A 1 day in-school-suspensions does not warrant being bullied by a dick wad and not allowed to play football.
There was no problem when he joined the Volleyball team!

If anyone else thinks this is wrong PLEASE post a comment!!!!!!

Wow, that felt good!!!

Saturday

Heading to the harvest fair this after noon at the Bonnyville museum. There will be pie judging for everyone. Pay $2 and you get to eat all the pies and decide which is the best. Winning pie gets $200!

Then tonight is the Bonnyville Pontiacs home opener vs St. Albert Steel. Tail gate party starts at 5:30 in the C2 parking lot with free hotdogs and kids games. Puck drops at 7:30. I will once again be helping out Robb during broadcasts with intermission interviews from the dressing room. Check out Robb's new website www.ajhlfan.com. It has everything you need to know about the AJHL and more!

Pretty pumped about tomorrow afternoon. My fiance is going to a friends house to watch the Riders game so I will be home alone watching 4 NFL games, and 2 CFL games with my son! Might even get some video game time in there as well!

Nessie, is that you?

Last week a man discovered what he claims to be a picture of the Lock Ness Monster while searching Google Earth. Robb and I talked about it Friday on the show and said that officials are investigating the image to see what it really is.

After looking at the imagaes, Lock Ness Monster

Investigators (yes that is a real job) have decided it is nothing but a speed boat. I will let you be the judge and leave a comment on what you think it is and Robb and I will discuss your thoughts during the show tomorrow

Why TSN2? Why?

On Friday I had a live on location at Aparra Shoes in Cold Lake. The remote wasn't over until 6PM. Seeing as I am a die-hard Riders fan I like to watch the games in their entirety. So when TSN2 launched last year I was excited that if I miss anything on TSN I could just watch it on TSN2 a few hours later. I got home around 6:45ish and checked the guide and saw that the Riders vs Montreal game was scheduled for 8:30PM on TSN2. I turned my cell phone off, stayed away from the Internet and put in season 5 of entourage so I didn't accidentally find out the score of the game before it was over. At 8:30 I tuned to TSN2 to find live women's tennis from some lame stop in Toronto. The tennis match was going longer than expected so I sat and watched. Finally the match was over at 9Pm so I was ready for some football!!!!! Only to find out TSN2 was showing Live tennis all freaking night! The next match started at 11PM Toronto time. Who honestly wants to sit up all night watching tennis? I was so pissed off that I sat at home relying on "Canadas Sports Leader" to pull through for me and I was stuck watching to eastern European manly looking ladies piss and whine of the ball being out by a fraction of a millimeter when I could have been watching the Riders lose to Montreal and then had something else to piss me off and blog about today!
....

I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamed no one came to my wedding including my groomsmen. It was horrible. Also in the dream I was wearing a white tux (which will never happen) and went out partying with it the night before and got it all dirty. All in all it was a pretty strange dream so hopefully it goes it alot better when I get married for real next June

.....
I was at the Bonnyville Pontiacs training camp most of the weekend and things are looking good. The team should have the best group of Defence men in the league, and we all know defence wins championships. I will be coaching at the annual White VS Black game tonight and cannot see my team losing. See you there at 7:30!....

Been Busy

I have seriously been lacking in the Blogging department.

But to be honest it is summer and I have been busy with summer things. I promise to pick up the slack as the days start getting shorter and the temps start dropping.

Monday

I feel like I go in cycles when it comes to blogging. One week I will blog a whole bunch with a lot of things on my mind and then the next I have nothing. Much like last week. Nothing really got my brain going so I focused on other things but now I am back with this on my mind
....

Lost a bet due to the Riders vs Esks game. TNT as he likes to be called is making us play the Edmonton Eskimos fight song every morning at 9 AM. Had the Riders held on and won he would have been wearing a Riders Jersey out front of the KOOL studios giving away water melon. Next time I guess.
....

I was at Greig Lake n Saturday and loved every minute of it. Spent the afternoon with the Seymore family who I have not seen in well over 2 years. Do you ever go see someone who you have not seen in a long time and find it awkward trying to find something to talk about? Well with Don and Bev that never happens. The whole afternoon you would have thought we spent time together on daily basis thats how awesome and interesting they are. Before we got there they went fishing and caught 16 jackfish so supper that night was amazing!!!!
....

Also was able to try Bud Light Lime Saturday. One word-Delicious. If you like Corona with a lime then I suggest picking up BLL instead. Save having to cut up a lime!
....

Congrats to the Dirt Devils for winning the 'B' side of the Bonnyville Mixed Slo-Pitch league. That is the team I began the season with but stopped playing due to travelling a lot on weekends and personal reasons.
....

Wednesday I head to Golden to do some whit water rafting on the Kickinghorse River. If you ever plan on challenging that river go with Wet'N'Wild. This will be my second time with that company and they get an A+ for sure!
Check out the video!

FRIDAY!

Going back to the chucks tonight. I was standing nice and close to the fence (leaning on it to be exact) last night when the chucks came ripping past, and I was struck in the neck with some flying mud! Thats what I call getting on in there!!! I loved it. I was joking with a fellow Newcap employee that that's what us Saskatchewan boys love, dirt in the face!
Who would have thought that horses could be such pranksters? On one of the heats, an outrider was having trouble getting on his horse and going. It looked like the horse was playing games because everytime the guy would try to jump on the horse would move just enough that the rider would miss. Kind of reminded me of when I go to pick people up and just as they reach for the door handle I drive ahead 3 or 4 feet. It usually gets me sworn at but hey its funny for me and I am sure that horse loved it.\
....

Funny how all Edmonton Eskimos fans were jacked up before the CFL season about the fact they now have Maurice Lloyd (former Riders LB) and new head coach Richie Hall (former Riders Defensive Coordinator), and now they will have the best defense in the league. They have given up 90 points in the last 2 games! And not only is that hilarious, but the Eskimos fans are blaming Ricky Ray for it! Last time I checked he didn't have the responsibility of stopping teams from scoring a point every minute and 20 seconds!
....

The above will back fire badly if the Riders don;t pull out a huge win tomorrow afternoon vs Montreal. I have the Riders winning 21-7. Bold? Yes, but as they say win or lose, we still drink booze!
....

Anthony Calvillo should get used to seeing this!

Chucks and stuff

Well it is time for the 2nd annual World Professional Chuckwagon Association Dodge Pro Tour stop in Bonnyville! Wagon races go tonight Friday and Saturday at 7 PM and then Sunday at 2! I will be live on location tonight from 4-8! I am excited, it has been at least 20 years since I was at chuckwagon races live. And I have never seen the pro's race so this should be a good week. We had Troy Flad and Luke Tournier on the show this morning and they helped answer a few questions we had such as what the word aggregate means! (It is what they call it when they add up all the times including penalties for the weekend and then crown a champion....I think). Tune in tomorrow as we will have a couple more drivers on to talk about how tonight went and what to expect for the rest of the weekend.
....

Had a friend tell me that the Heatley to Edmonton deal was still in the works but when I searched TSN.ca I couldn't find anything. If anyone knows anything let me know.
....

Buckcherry will be coming to the Lakeland this summer!!!! August 22 they will perform at the Energy Center in Cold Lake. Kinda disappointed that they chose the Energy Center in Cold Lake over the C2 here in Bonnyville but either way the show is going to rock! We started giving away tickets to the show on Wednesday so listen for more chances to win!
....

As you may or may not know, I am engaged and I would just like to say that with the organizational skills that my fiance has, the entire wedding should be all planned and figured out by Labour Day. That's a compliment seeing as we are not even getting married till next June!
....

What does a guy gotta do to get some A/C in the studio?!!!??!!
....

Kurtis Foster was on Off The Record yesterday arguing the need for the NHL to go to no touch icing. Hard to argue against him when you have a look at what happened when he was trying to beat out an icing call.
....

Is it just me or do video games cheat alot???!!!!?!!
....

OK that's all for today.... I am off to the track and I have $2 on Luke to be the weekend Champ!!!

J-Flow

From time to time I will get an e-mail from some independent artist looking to get some radio play. I understand that people need to do some self promoting from time to time in order to make it. Being the Music Director here at KOOL I listen to these people and 97% of the time there is a pretty good reason why they don't have a record deal. But the other day I opened my e-mail and discovered another e-mail with a song attached. I listened to the tune and a really liked it. I replyed telling J-Flow that I liked it and would feature it in our Brand Spanking New Music feature Monday morning (July 13/09) and then again in the Broiler Steakhouse and Bar Battle of the Beats, Tuesday morning (July 14). You as the listener voted it the 1 day Champ in a landslide. It beat out Christina Aguilera-Fighter. Here are the links for J-Flow and his tune Always Care. Expect to hear it in regular rotation on KOOL soon!

Let me know what you think in the comments!

Re: Ghost of MJ

CNN is reporting that the ghostly figure (video below) was a shadow from a worker in the house, yet they can not confirm this. Watch the video and decide for your self. I think the people filming the tour would have noticed something!
I just hope that it's not a haox done by CNN to capitalize on a a human beings death!
Here is a link to the video on Perez Hilton.com (Yes I do read that garbage from time to time)

Ghost Of MJ

Check out the bottom of the page for a creepy video from CNN. Michael Jackson's ghost may be haunting the Neverland Ranch. His close friend, Miko Brando, was conducting a tour with a Larry King Live camera crew when an image of Jacko's likeness appeared at the end of a hallway. Brando did not see the ghost until after filming was completed. See the video of the ghost at the bottom!

Monday

Well another weekend has come and past and I must say it was a very productive weekend for this guy!

I popped the 'Big Question' to my former girlfriend, now fiancee!!!! She obviously said yes other wise I wouldn't be writing about it, I would be waiting for the nearest bar to open to go deal with the rejection. Any ways the wedding plans have begun and we are thinking Late June or early July. Nothing for sure but I will keep you posted!
....

Now to more important stuff....huge Riders victory Friday night!!!! Now a lot of people are probably thinking that a game with 15 turnovers would be an awful game but I loved every minute of it! Every time BC had the ball I was convinced that the Riders would be getting it back on the next play! And watching Saskatchewan with the ball I was on the edge of my seat (actually hotel room bed as I was in Edmonton Friday night) expecting either a huge play or a fumble.
Maybe next week we will see 16 turnovers!!!!
Post predictions on next weeks game
I have Riders winning 32-12
Game is Saturday 11 AM on TSN
....

Stayed at the Westin Hotel in downtown Edmonton Friday night. I was shocked at how cheap it was. They guarantee the lowest rate for a room so we went on hotels.com, found the rate, called them and the actually upgraded our room for the same price hotels.com was offering it for. It was a beautiful hotel, great room, and I recommend it to anyone wondering where to stay in Edmonton.
As we were checking out a dude in front of us was being a total prick. He was giving the lady behind the desk shit for under charging him. She kept telling him what he owed and was getting angry saying that she was wrong he charged way more to the room. I have never in my life heard a guy mad about not paying full price. He then went on about running a hotel in Maui and that he knows how things work. Well buddy, if you are reading this, go back to Maui, we don't want you here!!!

Its been a while

Holy moly I have been lacking in the blogging due to the business we call "Radio". Few things on my mind today!
....

Dany Heatly. What the fu*k?!!???!! You demand a trade and then when granted this trade you won't waive your no trade clause???!!!??! Now I know he put that clause in his contract so that he didn't get shipped out of Ottawa to a crappy team for prospects, but if you demand a trade there should be no way in hell you get to pick what team gets you. Brian Murray should kick him in the groin and tell him to suck it and play for Ottawa, or play for the team where we are trading you to. I am more angered by this because I am an Oilers fan, but even if reports come out that he turns down another team I will still think of him as a selfish, whining baby!
....
Hossa signed for 12 years!!!!! What was he or the Blackhawks thinking?!!!???!!! That 12 year contract will expire when Hossa is 42. Meaning for the rest of his career he won't be able to pick who he plays with ever again (unless he demands a trade and has a no trade clause and pulls a Heatley). The Blackhawks have only made the playoffs TWO (2) times in the last 12 seasons!!! Good luck winning that elusive Stanley Cup there Hossa!

Monday

What a difference a week makes. Last Monday we were experiencing highs in the 30's...this today it probably won't get any warmer than 20. It also figures that it is officially summer the sun hasn't been out in 2 days.

That didn't stop me from going golfing yesterday though. It was my first time on the Bonnyville course and I must say it is a tough course. The fairways are pretty narrow which is tough for me seeing as I can't drive the ball straight on a consistent basis. It was nice to get out and relax seeing as it was my first Fathers Day. If you ever want a good laugh, go golfing with The Robb Hunter and get him to do the Happy Gilmour. Good times!!!!
....

Seeing as there has been kind of a lull in the sports world TSN has been showing alot of Poker. Which got me to a thinking: What was on TV when the sports world was slow, before Texas Hold 'Em became popular. Seriously, TSN has about 3 hours of the stuff every night. Would it not be more entertaining if they had some obscure sports on like Cricket or maybe even rodeo coverage? Poker is fun and all but it is defiantly a channel changer for this guy.
....

Good to see Tiger isn't doing good at the U.S. Open. Robb's news this morning had a voicer of Tiger Woods complaining about the fact that he gets up early and has to wait around to see if t hey are golfing or not due to the rain and he is tired of not knowing. They guy golfs for a living and he thinks he needs to bitch about something? He gets paid millions upon millions of dollars to do something most of us do for relaxation and he feels the need to complain. AND, he doesn't even enter every tournament. Must be a tough life for the #1 golfer in the world!
Even more reason for me to cheer against him.
