Whether is with a deck of playing cards or making coins disappear or making my stuff disappear, my little cousins are amatuer magicians. They're getting good at it and they enjoy it. Always with the "Tony, let me show you something" and proceed to pull out a deck of cards followed by a "Oh shit! Where'd it go??" followed by me saying "Tell me right now how you did that, Right now". I'm surprised magic tricks...or illusions are not more popular with society. I do see this increasing with acts like Criss Angel:Mind Freak, but he's just weird.
I wish I knew how to do magic, especially hilarious magic like GOB from Arrested Development or David Blaine...
On with the show, Enjoy.

Live from the ACC
My voice is hoarse and scratchy, barely audible. This is what happens when you go to game 1 and 2 of the NBA playoffs to see the hometown Toronto Raptors Vs. the New Jersey Nets. We have games 3 and 4 being played at the Swamp or America's Armpit, New Jersey, I've been to Jersey an it stinks for real. Early reports show that they'll barely sell out let alone have a raucous crowd like the ACC.
The ACC was rocking, you could feel the electricity as soon as you entered the building. From gate one all you could hear were chants of "VC Sucks!" and "LETS GO RAPTORS" clap-clap clap-clap-clap. The crowd was ready and they(we) wanted blood. The Raps fans were rabid and you could tell there was definitly a lot of negative energy being sent towards a certain player on the Nets, whats his face. Just the fact that there were so many cameramen walking around with ESPN just added to the excitement.
As Game 1 of the series started, the arena went dark and the Raptors showed an awe-inspiring intro for the post season, that would make every Raptors fan pledge allegiance.
The crowd showed its class by applauding the American national anthem. the crowd really gave it to Wince every time he touched the ball, even breaking the D-Fence chants just to get a quick boo in. The Sea of Red was out in full effect during the game.
Towards the end of the game the crowd was really into it and you could tell that the Raps were starting to get past the first game playoff jitters. If CB didn't pick up those quick two foul the outcome would have been different I'm sure. TJ was definitely ready to play and was abusing Kidd whenever he could. I read that Bosh and Co. actually was scared/overwhelmed by the crowd, since it was so crazy. Could the crowd of had a detrimental to the performance? Possibly...but probably not. We were upset that we didn't get the win, but some of the boys did get onto TV, Newspaper and other forms of media representing the Raps and the Raptors Nation.
Onto Game 2, The crowd again was bloodthirsty to say the least. An example of how crazy the fans were was from a video from the Score. Who's that guy in the back? :P
I told people to look out for me on TV, I'd be one wearing red.
We had better seats for this game. The crowd was loud as ever, I couldn't even hear my brother who was sitting beside me. I honestly thought the top of the building was gonna blow off. Sam Mitchell got the coach of the year award presented to him.
Then it was onto tip off, both clubs were shooting atrociously and combined for 26 points in the first q. This clearly was not gonna be a run an gun game. The crowd really got to Vince since he'd brick the first free throw, to the crowds delight. TJ and Jose played the PG position well. One of my favourite parts of the game was after Jose scored a layup he turned and looked at our side of the arena and let out a primitive yell as if to say 'LETS DO THIS!!'. We in turn got up an screamed back in reply. It was almost a primitive thing, it reminded me of the movie 300 where the soldiers were responding to King Leionidas's inspiring speech. This just showed how intense the game was and how the players like Jose respond and feed off the intensity of the crowd. Another time Jason Kidd had some words with Jose and we all stood like we had Jose's back. 20,000 fans backing up one of their players in a fight. There's only one word for that Awesome. Another highlight were when the Raptors shoot a 3, the crowd will stand in anticipation so when it goes down we're ready to yell as loud as possible. There were a couple of sequences where Nick and I were going Crazy, literally screaming and getting super intense. He almost ripped my shirt, while he was jumping around. Anthony Parker and Bosh both ripped it and we let them hear our cheers and how much we appreciated rim rattling slam dunks and the money ball 3's. I feel like AP can drop numbers like this every game, he is just that nasty. Both of these games were the best Raptors game experiences I've ever been to, and I'm still contemplating on whether to go to Game 5. After we got the win we were outside the ACC chanting LETS GO RAPTORS and VC SUCKS. I even yelled out a couple of times "Lets tear this city apart!!!", as to insinuate a riot but everyone laughed it off. Oh well, next time.
LETS GO RAPTORS
I'm out.
peace!

In Colangelo We Trust
For the last 5 years us die-hard Raptors fans have been though the ups an downs, subject to teams full of underachieving players and lackluster management. Heart breaking loss after heart breaking loss. Until now...The basketball gods have rewarded us with the best GM in the league, and a team full of talent and potential. The Raps not only have made it to the playoffs with home court advantage, but have won the Atlantic Division for the first time.
I was saying from the beginning of the season after the 2-8 stint, that all this team needs is some time to gel an grow together, find out each others strengths and weaknesses. This process was rapidly sped up by the likes of Sam Mitchell, our head coach and our intelligent point guards who made sure to find out everyone's likes an dislikes of situations on where to get the ball. I was calling for his head earlier this season but have seen the improvement like calling timeouts and making substitutions at the appropriate times but also motivating the players to be the best they can be. This team has a lot of confidence and plays with alot of heart and the effort has been consistent. The home crowd finally has a team to be proud of, one that will scrap and claw til the buzzer goes.
We're even beginning to get recognition from the same NBA "experts" who said we would go 21-61. The good people at NBA Fanhouse, gave our team a couple of awards. Chris Bosh was awarded The Best Player We never get to see Award.
"And the winner of the prestigious CTNBAA: Chris Bosh. He's the best player on the best team that no one ever gets to see, which is doubly a crime since the Raps are so much fun to watch."
We also got the Best Uniform Colour Tweak. From NBA Fanhouse:
For the 2006-2007 season however, not that many teams opted to redefine their look when it's obvious some kind of change was needed (*ahem* Minnesota and Washington *ahem*). One team brave enough to venture into the new uniform business were the Toronto Raptors. All they really did was eviscerate the ugliest color in sports: the purple (and maybe added a raptor claw here and there).
From True Hoop on ESPN:
As much as I love the current Raps team (in part because it is a TEAM), I can't help but think what type of damage the Raps could have made with an all-star CB4 playing alongside the NJN version of VC. I wonder if CB4 feels the same. Either way, I cannot wait for this series, and I cannot believe that the Raps playoff run starts this weekend.
You can read all about it here
I can't wait for the playoffs, I got my tickets for the first 2 games in Toronto. In closing, I'd like to thank the Toronto Raptors organization for such an amazing season. Thank you for revitilizing this franchise and bringing exciting ball back to Toronto. Mr Colangelo, when we shook hands I felt your divine power, In Colangelo We Trust.
Bring on the Nets!

TV, Man's Real Best Friend.
Television has been a main feature in the North American household since the dawn of time, even possibly since dinosaurs were around. It provides informative and convenient media outlet on current events, sports and entertainment. I was never a big TV viewer from the get go to be honest. At Western, the TV was mostly dominated by my roommate, which was cool, because honestly I didn't know what good shows were out there and I did not have the time to watch anything then Simpsons and Seinfeld and the Raptors game. We watched the first season of Sopranos, Transformers and Arrested development but that was on DVD.
We eventually started watching 24, we made it a group thing for the boys. The inhabitants of 106 (Manjit, Nick and myself) with the boys of 602 (Gunness and Kav) with the occasional Raman, would get together every monday evening no matter what the schedule to participate in this ritualistic event. To tell the truth I miss those times, making Monday evenings a worthwhile night. The constant "Shut up Tony, they're talking!". Kav could not watch the show with me, I had the tendency to ruin it...just a tad. This is one show that is a suspense action drama, which I have reduced to a comedy in my mind.
The nonsensical plot twists, the predictability and (un) super human effect of Jack Bauer, the protagonist. Jack aka Wack or Quack Bauer as I liked to call him would make irrational decisions, constantly yelling, but of course would save the day at the end. I have seen all the previous seasons on DVD with season 4 being my favourite, this season has to be one of the worse seasons to date. I've kind have rekindled this old time tradition by watching 24 with my little brother who like me, like making fun of Jack and other characters of 24. Jack is like a modern day Caveman, toting a gun like "shoot first ask questions last, that's how most of these so-called gangsters pass" to quote the late great B.I.G. He epitomizes whats wrong with the American population, especially ones who are pro war. Earlier in the season, Jack killed one of CTU's top agents, because he was jeopardizing the case, what happens later, the terror suspect dies meaninglessly. Now we're out one of the main characters of the show. One of the things that makes me laugh about 24 is the extra emotional side, its like wait, I thought Jack Bauer was a badass, now he's got feelings? oh and there are also scenes where he's acting like a squirrel, grunting, cave-man like after crucial scenes, this also makes me an yell obscene things at the TV. With the latest episode of Jack risking World War 3 occurring with the Russians, Chinese and the US just to save the love of his life Audrey Raines, and using the excuse that "Audrey has done so much for this country". Gimme a f'in break.
I had a theory, that 24 was sponsored and funded by the US government. This show had 24 episodes (of course) that were 1 hour long an each of these episodes had high tech gear, army helicoptors, pro government propaganda and how the per episode budget must be substantially higher than other shows on FOX. Oh and did I mention the show was on FOX (this show be obvious on the government's involvement). It also promotes anti-Muslim theologies and the idea that any person of colour could be a terrorist, black or brown, since it depicts terrorists living secretly in society, to rachet up the fear in the US. It also helps to propagate an anti-Muslim agenda. To reiterate, Jack Bauer is wack, 24 is propaganda, but will I miss it on Monday night....hells no!
I, like Homer Simpson love TV. "Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover." and I agree with him...secret lover not so much...*looks around nervously*, haha. With my time off after school, I caught up on all the amazing TV shows such as realizing how hilarious Simpsons episodes are, the genius creation that is Arrested Development. This clip is proof of that. It has some of the funniest moments in the show involving my favourite character GOB (pronounced Jobe). Arrested Development is easily the funniest show ever...EVER! Bold claims you say. People who watch this show and you know who you are, will agree with me. Its funnier than the Office (which is also a funny show and has its moments).
Shows like Sopranos, Entourage, the Wire (all HBO shows...oh yeah!) are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. I never got into popcorn shows such as Friends and the new phenomenon known as Grey's anatomy, which I don't like, I mean if I wanted to watch a comedy based in a hospital, I'd watch Scrubs.
The quality of TV has increased significantly, especially with one of my favourite inventions High Definition (HD) TV. If you got HD you know what I'm talking about, its so clear its almost like you're there! Half the time you're just watching it like "damn this shit is so clear!". Its to the point where I refuse to watch TV on smaller TV's, its just not the same, and HD is just an entirely different experience. Lately there's been price drops on HD TVs, which makes me wonder that something even better is on the horizon.
The next thing must be Virtual Reality TV. Where watching TV would be reduced to putting on a set of glasses that projects a movie on a screen as the eye can see, where you feel like you're part of the action. Oh man I can't wait for that!! (It will probably be television that will provide more pixels per inch, maybe that new 1080p technology) The television industry is booming thanks to technology and quality of programming, and I'm not mad at all.
I'm out.

Hockey Night in Canada
So the long weekend is winding down. This weekend was a drama filled couple of days, mostly on the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs were on the verge of making the playoffs. I decided to watch this game even though I'm not the biggest hockey fan. It was a wild one with the home team coming up with the win. Unfortunately the home team will not make the post season due to some last second heroics by the NY Islanders.
I realized while I was watching the game was that, one of the reasons why I don't like hockey is Don Cherry. This guy must be the most ignorant and most uber-Canadian person ever. I know he's not a fan of basketball but I feel like he would be a racist in real life. You're thinking, "those are some bold allegations Tony" (Just remember if you know me, you know I like being controversial for no reason). I remember his whole bias against Europeans saying they were soft and that North American products were better choices. Now people would argue who's better Alexander Ovechkin or Sidney Crosby, and Ovechkin is not a soft player by any means. Back to the actual point, I was saying, he is what is wrong with the sport of hockey. The Don Cherry SportsPlex is in the heart of the ethnic neighbourhood of Brampton, which means he can't be THAT ignorant, can it?
With Canada being such a multi cultural country, why not have a colour commentator who would promote the game itself without bias on the player's ethnic background. Is this to appease the 40 year old baby boomers who desperately want the Leafs to win a cup since the late 60s? The NHL decided to speed up the game, smaller pads to increase the scoring, which did increase interest in the game, but I think the marketing aspect of the league has not reached similar level. I think they need to make the game "cooler", you say "Tony, how do we do this?" I say get rid of Cherry, bring in some young commentators, but obviously this would cause an uproar to the faithful of Hockey night in Canada. Some food for thought, what do you guys think? I think the entire culture of Toronto and Canada is changing to incorporate our multicultural roots. The emergence of the Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC and lets not forget the Jays, all show a natural progression of hockey's market dominance declining. As an indication of this change, Kyle Wellwood and some other Leafs were at the Raptors game, maybe this is a sign of things to come. There are also marketing issues with MLSE on how the handle the Leafs and the Raptors. Remember those old Nike commercials, with Doug Cristie and Alvin Williams playing hockey or some of the leafs playing basketball. I think these need to be reintroduced to bring back some of the coolness factor for both facets of the company. I think I'll blog about that idea later.
In conclusion, my message to the NHL, try to market the game to a different demographic. Get rid of the high collars and plaid suit wearing ancient hockey relic, known as Don Cherry and maybe Hockey can regain some glory and appeal to some of the younger generation. Since I keep my ear to the streets all I hear is "Hockey is wack" or "Hockey is sick gay" from the urban Canadian youth aka my little cousin. How can we change this? or can we?
I'm out.
