Special post: Ed Mirvish sign torn down on February 7th

February 6, 2018

This once iconic corner at Bathurst and Bloor is now nothing but a flat piece of earth, slated to become a condominium community. Toronto has decided to save a part of the sign, but it makes you wonder how they could demolish the whole thing, and other developers have to save entire blocks facades.

Special Marvel post: Marvel Studios 10th Anniversary Announcement – Class Photo Video


   If you need proof that what Marvel Studios has accomplished in the last ten years is remarkable, look at how many others have tried and failed to emulate their success. Kevin Feige took a big risk, but it paid off and reshaped Hollywood. So I don’t really mind that Marvel Studios is taking a victory lap to celebrate its 10-year-anniversary, kicking things off with a “class photo” that includes more than 80 actors and filmmakers who have participated in the MCU. Naturally, Robert Downey Jr. and Feige are sitting front-and-center as well they should be. Although The Dark Knight is considered the “best” superhero movie, Iron Man, which came out the same year, is the one that had a larger impact, and this photo is proof. read more

Journey to being in Frank D'Angelos The Joke Thief


                 Friday February 2nd

               I see this Facebook post that says" looking for non union or aabp adults to work on   February 5th downtown"

               That night I decided to connect with the poster and send them an email that I was interested. Few hours later I get an email back confirming that I have been approved and will sent additional information soon.

                  Here the catch! I work fulltime and didnt' know I would able to attend.

          Saturday Feburary 3rd

           I still didn't know how I was going to pull this off!

          Sunday February 4th

             Superbowl Sunday I get sick!  seriously sneezing, headcold the entire works.The minutes and hours pass and at around 10:00pm I email and say I am available! Of course I still had no ideas if and how I could make it.

              I packed a few clothes that night and brought them with me to work.

        Monday February 5th

         I wake up and still feel sick and little groggy. Start my morning journey to work still with no idea on how I am going to make this happen.

          I get to work and my manager ask how I am doing and I say no very well. Next thing you know he says "feel free to go at 11:30am if you still not feeling well" I respond with "very much appreciated" inside I am saying to myself. "WOW!" did that just happen!

          At 11:30am I leave and run to the bus stop. by 12:15pm I reach Osgoode Station, I run to Metro Hall and use the bathroom to get changed on the 3rd floor. (been there alot for various events)

          I run downstairs and start my walk on King Stree West. I reach 325 and its Forget About It restaurant. I walk inside and the cast and crew are having lunch. Submit my paperwork and have lunch with everyone.

               It was great to see few friends that I have been on in previews show in recent years at the shoot.

        It was quick 2 hours and we were done!

Special Sports Review: Super Bowl 52 Phiadelphia Eagles vs New England Patrios


     Sunday February 3rd

   Superbowl 52 in Minnesota - Eagles vs Patriots

   It was amazing evening of football. Both teams came out with great drives. It appeared early on getting the extra point after the touchdown would be an issue for both teams.

    Philadelphia Eagles pulled of great two point extra playe with their quarterback Noles catching the ball in the end zone. Brady had tried it earlier in the game and fumbled the pass!

    Patrios to the lead going into the 4th quarter 33-32. The Eagles came back to score and stop the Patriots from coming back deflecting a Tom Brady pass with 2 minutes to secure their first Superbowl win.
