Does this make me a bad person?

With my family gone to visit family for a couple days, I got to sit down tonight and watch almost an entire Red Sox game from start to finish . . . live and in real-time!  Of course, being the tech expert geek that I am, I watched the game through my PS3 while following [...]

Swinging for the Fences

I guess this will be a few football related posts all in a row now. Not that there’s anything wrong with that I guess, it’s just never been the be all and end all from what I’ve done in the past. I’d wager a guess that’s what’s being posted right now because the start of [...]

Roll On!

I had a feeling that it was bound to happen eventually and now the time is finally here.  I’m taking up skateboarding again!  Now I know talked about possibly doing this last year, but now the wheels have already been set rolling towards this end.  I wasn’t really planning on it, but when the opportunity [...]

Thrill of A Lifetime

I wonder what interesting people Ben would invite?” You may be thinking these thoughts, unless your name is Brad in which [...]

Benyamen's BoSox fans rejoice!

Well, it’s baseball season now so my alterego fantasy sports manager Benyamen Kramar has branched out into fantasy baseball too.  Benyamen’s BoSox were the champions of “Canadas Worst Fantasy League” last year and are hoping to defend their title.  However, in search of new competition, Benyamen’s BoSox have also created franchises in two other leagues [...]

I swear, I am actually Canadian

Is it possible for me to still maintain my Canadian citizenship despite the fact that I don’t like NHL hockey and I am increasingly becoming a MLB baseball fan?  If the answer to that first question is yes, does the answer stay yes if I don’t cheer for the Blue Jays but am instead a [...]
