Oh hi Leafs Nation...

Dear Leafs fans,

I do not appreciate some of your snobby attitudes regarding who gets to cheer for "your" team. First of all, they are not yours. Second of all, they need all the support they can get! If you haven't noticed they are kind of the object of derision in...every city but El Toro (had to throw that in; it's a joke, relax).

I have supported the Leafs through thick and thin (as have many of you) and I chose to take a break from their stressful antics - it was hard watching them consistently getting their arses handed to them by...everyone. I'm entitled to do so while still loving them.

That is not bandwagon jumping, friends. Band wagon jumping is when a person prior to the playoffs, did not support nor cheer for a team until that team showed promise to win the championship.

I cheered for the Leafs from beginning of season until Jan 1, 2011. That's way prior to the play-offs. Further, who are we kidding? Even IF the Leafs make it to the play-offs there is zero promise of them winning the championship. I am all about optimism and positive thought, but I doubt any of you would put money on a bet they'll win the Stanley Cup.

In conclusion, your snobbery is as unwarranted as The Maroon 5 Fan Club rejecting/kicking out members. Makes no sense. Think about it.

Regards,
Aunt Jemima

Gossip: more than a FINE dining experience.

Gossip restaurant is undoubtedly what one would call a hidden gem!
Found on the CNE grounds, across from Muzik, this restaurant boasts a mouth-watering array of options from their delicious signature Gossip Salad, to Tempura Shrimp (which comes with two very tasty dipping sauces) and Sirloin that is to die for.
Other items of note are the White Fish which melts in your mouth and the Carrot Soup.
I was very impressed with the courteous, friendly, and professional service at Gossip and this certainly swayed me to return multiple times.
The interior of the restaurant, the quality of the food, and the outstanding service may fool you into thinking you are a celebrity, and you might fear the pricing but surprisingly, the prices are quite reasonable!

I think I have definitely found a new go-to!
You can check out their website HERE...TRY not to drool too much!

If you missed Stone Sour on Jimmy Kimmel last night, what are you waiting for...watch the video BELOW now!
I love when you can feel the passion through an artist's performance. I am of course referring to Jimmy Kimmel... ;)

Vox

A singer's voice is like his/her trademark. I have a dozen favourite singers but only a few have voices that send chills down my spine. Corey Taylor is one of them.

The range in his voice is simply amazing - it can be grainy and angry or smooth and totally on key all the while conveying so many emotions I feel just by listening.

Through the Glass by Stone Sour is one track that showcases his voice beautifully.

As does this...if I ever get vocal training, I want it from him!
