VERSACE MANSION

March 11th, 2010
I remember when I first saw the Versace Mansion in South Beach a year after the murder of Gianni Versace. It was a spectacular piece of history and architecture. It was however hauntingly sad to see the house in somewhat disrepair and neglect. 12 years later, this Icon has been restored and turned into one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in the US. Here is the link for the new VILLA b ...

VANCOUVER 2010

March 6th, 2010

I was lucky to spend that last week of the Olympics in Vancouver. It was an unbelieveable experience to be at an Olympics in Canada once again. Our athletes did a superb, job. They aimed for the stars and captured them, along with the historic Gold Medal count. I still remember Calgary 88, and being in the heart of Vancouver brought back all those great memories. This olympics was truly about ...

This is a great and hysterical article which summed up the strange and unsual grammy awards last night.

Photos: 2010 Grammy Highlights

It wasn't for lack of star power, but didn't this year's Grammys manage to be not only over the top but a little...awkward? Stephen Colbert seemed to think he was hosting his own show; moments that should have been ins ...

Words

May 30th, 2008

A friend sent this to me. I thought it was worth sharing. Have a great week!

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Calgary Flames

May 4th, 2006

Well.....it's over. For this season anyway.

I almost had tickets to the game last night, but ended up with a group of friends, going to Russell Peters, the racist comedian. I'm glad I did. My nephew was sending me text messages from the game, and each message got worse, and worse until finally......"we need a miracle" show up. I knew then, that I was glad I chose the comedian over the ...

Fallen Soldiers

April 23rd, 2006

After a somewhat calm, and snowy day yesterday, I was watching the news in my Kitchen which is really the only place I can make the time to do so.

While I was having my dinner, with Jalal by my side, I heard about the latest fatalities in Afghanistan.

I was saddened yet again. My heart goes out to all the familes for such a huge loss.

I have always been proud of Canada, and it's role on ...

Brazil 2006 Part 1 via Chicago

April 21st, 2006

So lets talk about the exciting part now.

In February, I went back to Brazil, with a group of my best friends.

Myself and Rob first flew united airlines to Chicago where we spent a day taking in the city. We hired a driver, with a nice car, and took a impromptu tour of Chicago. What a beautiful city. However, surprisingly, very empty at this time of year. The streets were totally deserte ...
