The greatest day of your life
When you’re planning a wedding, you run into an awful lot of people who tell you that your wedding day is, or should be, the greatest day of your life. It’s a phrase you’re going to hear word for word, over and over again. “The greatest day of your life.” Well, anyone who says that […]

AIDS Walk Update: Target met, target surpassed, target doubled
It’s been less than a month since I registered to do this year’s AIDS Walk for Life, an event that raises a huge and much-nedeed amount of money and support every year for the AIDS Committee of Toronto. I set a fundraising target of five hundred dollars, because thanks to the support of a number […]

Link of the Day: Switch Advertising
Hey, here’s something interesting. “Everybody wants to be a rockstar – but at Switch Advertising, we picked up our coconuts and actually did it. We’ve collaborated with talented local artists to make our own outrageous indie rock posters, because between artists and indie rock bands, no one has to work harder to earn your attention.” […]

The measure of a man
According to Google Analytics, somebody out there recently found this site by running a search for the phrase “size of matt blair.” Since you asked, anonymous visitor, I’m six feet tall and I weigh a hundred and fifty pounds. Hope that helps!

Link of the Day: The Metropolitan Community Church
Quite possibly the best church in town. We attended their service as guests this morning, and as always it was a great time. But I’ll tell you a little more about that later. The senior pastor at the MCC is none other than the Reverend Brent Hawkes, who also happens to be one of Canada’s […]

Democratic malaise
Several months ago I wrote a letter to Tony Clement, the Conservative MP who had recently complained that only “elites” and “chattering classes” cared about the government’s second annual prorogation. Clement had told the press that he had received “maybe three dozen emails” from constituents voicing their concern, and although I wasn’t one of his […]

Link of the Day: He Is Just A Rat
Hot on the heels of my link to the Dry Shave website comes the site for another great independent Canadian comic from day gone by. It’s hosted as a subsite of secretlair.com, the official website of artist and game designer Tony Walsh. It hasn’t been updated in a while, and judging by the main website, […]

It’s Friday, so here’s the video for “All Uncovered” by the Watchmen
Here’s a great song by a fine band that still holds up sixteen years after the fact. It’s also a bit of a bummer, but what can I tell you? They can’t all be toe-tappers, and frankly, nor should they be. The Watchmen were another one of the bands I had the pleasure of booking […]

Link of the Day: Macho Business Donkey Wrestler
What a week, you guys. I’ve been working heavily, socializing heavily, drinking heavily… And as you can see, I’ve even been blogging heavily. The only thing I haven’t been doing heavily lately is sleeping, and I really ought to make the time to do so. Today’s link isn’t anything socially conscious or vital. As it […]

Look at this kid, you guys, I don’t even care
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve spent the past day or two trying to pretend that a baby who’s been plunked down inside a hollow watermelon that’s been gently placed in the seat of a comfortable chair – and who’s been left to gnaw on the walls of his own little watermelon cage like it’s […]
