A great collection of the front pages of many newspapers depicting Obama's historic victory.

November 4, 2008

Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

October 28, 2008 - Why, as a Canadian, am I biting my nails down to the bone about the 2008 US election? Because what happens in the US will shape our future far more than anything that happens here at home. If America doesn't prosper, neither do we. If America isn't safe, neither are we. Canadians desperately want America to find it's way again.

I think (and really hope) Barack Obama is going to win, all the momentum and polling seems to be going his way. One week out and he's up by as much as 8 points in Virginia, a state that hasn't voted for a Democrat since 1964. He draws staggering crowds in both traditionally red and blue states like never before in the history of US politics.

John McCain and especially Sarah Palin are throwing mud and holding divisive rallies but the good news is - it doesn't appear to be working this time. The pitbull in lipstick has turned out to be an albatross in high heels hanging like a noose around McCain's neck. McCain and Palins' ugly campaign does not appear to be swinging independents in his favor but having quite the opposite effect.

If this becomes a rout (I hope), maybe we'll see the end of not only Bush-style economics and foreign policy, but the end of the poison that is the Rove-style politics of personal destruction.

In these times what matters in a leader is not knowledge, experience or partisan politics. What matters is character, temperament and judgement. Who's better to navigate through this mess? Even those who think Obama is a seriously flawed candidate now think it's him. He's a rookie but he's the best they've got.

Not all Republicans are clueless hockey moms or racists. A surprising number are intelligent professionals who are convinced Democrats are inherently evil. They really think that, if he's elected, it's the end of the world. They are the mirror image of the fanatics on the left except they wield influential power in the Republican party. Barack Obama will never get these people on his side. But if he wins he can do something else. Reset the tone.

Sometimes you don't know until near the end what an election is really all about. This election is no longer about the audacity of hope, or the first black president, or Sarah Palin, or the Iraq war or even the total ineptness of the current president. It's about America on the ropes, and it's ability to regain it's footing and find it's way again in a troubled world. The stakes are high for us because, until it does, we're all in trouble.




On a side note I started this website on Nov 12, 2000 right during the thick of the 2000 Florida result debacle and wrote my very first blog post on the day the Supreme Court said Bush was President. Needless to say I was whining in my first ever post.

Now it's done. The Bush era is over. Upwards and onwards friends.


After midnight on Saturday night I let Bandit out for a pee and he came face to face with a skunk.
Well he won the battle but got sprayed right in the face in the process.
I heard the commotion and called him in, as he got closer the fumes started to get stronger. He came in the house and proceeded to roll around on the floor and brush himself up against walls and cupboards.
I almost lost my lunch (actually I did after a couple of hours in the stink ) I have never smelled anything like it. It was nothing like the drive-by smell of a skunk, not only was it 10 times stronger - strong enough to burn your nostrils - but it had this almost "burnt" smell to it. Really, really gross.
I had already had a few drinks and had no idea what to do so I panicked and locked Bandit on Ryan's side for the night.
A friend came over in the morning and Bandit was given two tomato juice baths and one shampoo bath. He still smells faintly but it's bearable now.
I spent the entire day today washing down walls and floors. It's now a scintillatingly sickening aroma of cleaning products and skunk. Skunk is such a hard smell to get rid of.
While I was trying to fall asleep that night I was just trying to pretend that I was back in my growing days

August 12, 2008 - Talk about a cloudy and rainy summer. Blah. Everyone keeps thinking it's gonna get better but here we are in mid August and it's still raining . Couple the rain with the incredible amount of snow we had earlier this year and long time precip records have been falling almost daily. On the up side the trees, grass and gardens are enjoying it. It hasn't really been hot this year either.

Thanks to all you guys for continually supporting my site and efforts for all these years. Watch for some new and interesting things in the fall. I've had many requests for more duos in the Originals, as we've had a string of solo guys, so those will be up soon. As always feel free to email Ryan or me if you need anything at all.

I've been enjoying the Olympics so far. I love watching the swimming and the new suits (though less revealing ) are very kewl and make the swimmers almost look like dolphins when they're racing. Sexy Michael Phelps has won two golds at this point and is still on target for eight. The men's relay final was just wild, Lezak's last minute heroics were great fun to watch. Talk about winning by a fingernail, apparently if the French swimmer had touched with his fingertips instead of his palms the result would have been much different. Haven't watched much else yet, lots of women's beach volley ball has been on and man is that like softcore porn or what . What's up with those itty bitty suits? Question is do the men just wear loin clothes? No medals for Canada yet but our swimmers actually have done well breaking tons of personal and Canadian records. I missed the opening ceremony but I've heard it was pretty fantastic.

Should be interesting who Obama picks as his VP. I find it a little odd that Bill Clinton will be introducing him/her on Wednesday night of the Democratic National Convention in a couple of weeks . It certainly doesn't look like his wife will be chosen as she's slated to talk Tuesday unless it's all a smoke screen but I doubt it. I wonder if the die-hard Hillary people will make any noise at the convention. Should be interesting to watch.
Even though nobody seems to want to address it (and for good reason) race is definitely going to play a big factor in this election, not that I think it should, but it will. I think Obama will have to tackle it graciously head on and not try to avoid it. He has to take the lead and try and reassure people he "is one of them" without playing the "race card" himself. Rumor already has it McCain's campaign plans to artfully, viciously exacerbate race in the weeks ahead. Not to mention the preacher who won't go away, Jeremiah Wright, is releasing a book and doing a book tour in October. The Obamans must not be so pleased about that.
I don't think Obama will win this election. Think ahead twenty years and imagine looking back on this election. Would it really seem that strange looking back that the first black major-party nominee, a guy with little experience, no foreign policy credentials in an age of terrorism and unrest, a very different background and the name Barack Hussein Obama, lost? It would probably seem inevitable. That Obama has beautifully and eloquently convinced many that the opposite outcome is even possible is his gift.
If I could vote, I would solidly fall into the category of undecided at this point.

My Challenger is finally in . I've had this car on order for 16 months and it was well worth the wait - I just love it! Dodge did a fantastic job keeping the retro styling of it's 1970's brother. The detail is really well done right down to the vintage fuel cap . I lucked out and got a 2008.75 First Edition version of this car but I'm betting you will see them all over the road in 2009. They will be available in a few different models in 2009, not all with the big Hemis under the hood. Some pics here.

Also here's some pics from around the garden from July and early August.

Talk to you later!

July 27, 2008 - I hope everyone is having a great summer. I've been roaming a bit, gardening alot and Ryan has been holding down the fort. I'll be updating my blog soon with some info about what is coming for the site in the fall, some pics from the past month and my usual ranting haha.

June 22, 2008 - Coming up on the 8th year for this site. There are a lot of changes going on in the industry and I will endeavor to keep this site relevant and interesting in the coming years. There hasn't been alot of new feeds available for us lately but we currently have 755 videos in the Video Downloads, 132 exclusive videos and pic sets in the Originals and 180,000 pictures in the Selected Sets. There will be some exciting new additions in the next few months so stay tuned.

I really disliked Hillary Clinton little more than a year ago but I must say she won me over during the last three months of her historic campaign. I was sad to see her go and don't really think she will be on the ticket as VP. I read somewhere that Michelle Obama can't stand her and is seriously pressuring her hubby not to choose her. My bet is if Barack Obama continues to lead in the polls closer to the August convention he will chose someone else, if he's behind or neck-in-neck maybe he'll take Hillary but I still think it's a long shot. For the past few months Clinton showed herself to be articulate, well informed, smart as a tack and graceful. The biased US press made me sick, the night Obama got the number of delegates he needed to clinch the nomination, when they jumped all over her because she didn't concede and throw her support behind him that night. What a crock, can you imagine how hard that must have been for her after getting so close? She bowed out graciously a few days later in a very eloquent speech that she gave a pass to speech wirters on and wrote herself. If only she had found her own voice a year ago. "We didn't quite break the glass ceiling but there are now 18,000 cracks."
Senator Obama better start talking issues and stop spouting talking points and lofty esoteric speechs because he's starting to appear like an empty suit. I'm sure he can surround himself with strong people but for a year that heavily favors the Democrats he seems a risky choice. Mind you with the big increase in registered Democrats (more than 40% first time since the polling started in the 60s) and the dwindling GOP base this could be a romp. I am convinced Hillary Clinton would have been a stronger general election canadidate but things worked out they way they did. I can't stand John McCain and his pandering so I guess it's Bambam as the lesser of two evils. Don't get me wrong I used to think McCain was one of the few decent Republicans but the man has really changed and is talking a whole load of crap right now. Saying Obama would be a continuation of the Carter administration is just plain silly and a little desperate if you ask me. Should be a very interesting fall nonetheless.

It was a shellacking very unbefitting King Fed.
The French Open once again proved to be Nadal's territory for the fourth year in a row as he humiliated the world's number 1 player Roger Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 in the shortest finals match in the Open's history.
I don't think Wimbledon will come any easier for Roger. I had money on Djokovic for the Grand Slam this year until Nadal screwed it up. I think Nadal is going to be a thorn in alot of players' sides when it comes to the French Open not unlike Henin was. Speaking of Henin, I was very sad to see her retire, I lived to see her get beaten. I have noone to put anti-webpages up about anymore. I loved to hate her but she was a damn fine and entertaining player. The women's side has become a little boring right now and she will be missed.
You can't help but like Rafa tho, is he a nice young man or what? Not like Djokovic who seems to rub alot of people the wrong way.

Bring on the grass.



Here's some more garden pics taken this month. I've been asked by many of my readers if I could show a peek of the inside of my house after all the outdoor pics I've posted over the years. I can't take good indoor pics so I put a quick video tour together, the quality is only so-so but I did the best I could. I also mumble alot during it sorry for that, now I know why people are always asking me to speak up. My crib.

I've decided I've had enough of being single. I have started going out and meeting people and it's like someone unmuzzled me - once I get started you can't shut me up. I've been having fun though and I know not to try too hard but I would sure like to meet someone special. Suitors welcome.

May 19, 2008 - I've given up on these US elections. I never get my way. It never works out like I expect or hope. First in 1999 I thought it was impossible that a poorly spoken, seemingly dim-witted guy could be elected but he was... twice. In 2004 I thought Kerry was the absolute worst of the 8 or so Democratic contenders. When he rode onto the set of Letterman or whatever it was on his motor bike in leather pants I cringed. Same with the windusrfing episode. Now in 2008 I thought you had a bright, well informed and strong candidate and now she appears to be getting railroaded out of the picture. Meanwhile West Virginia is voting tonight and will likely give her a huge victory. Doesn't matter it's over says the media. Obama is like a huge question mark for me, I don't know exactly what it is he stands for. "Change" doesn't cut it with me as Bush ran on "Change" in 2000. I would however, if I could cast a vote, vote for either HRC or BHO over McCain. He confuses the hell out of me, when he ran against Bush in 2000 for the Republican nomination he seemed like a totally different person that he is now. He definitely takes the pandering game to whole new level. I think we have an election coming up here in Canada, hopefully I might at least get my way up here.

Spring is in full swing up here and I've started taking some pics around the garden again, you can see them here. Laterz

April 26, 2008 - The site is humming along in it's 8th year online and I thank you, as always, for your continuing support. I took some time off this year and left the day to day operations to Ryan. Seems like nobody noticed I was gone so big kudos to Ryan on a job well done. I'm back at work now and seeking out some hot new stuff for the site! Comments and suggestions are always more than welcome. You can email me anytime.

For all those who wrote asking why I wasn't updating here anymore, thanks for reading and I'll try to keep it up better. I could go off on a tangent about the US election but I don't wanna piss anyone off too much and I'm actually pretty mixed up by the whole thing anyway. One thing I can say is that it's been better than geography class anyday for learning about the States and thier populations not too mention how the whole process works. Quite a messy piece of work if you ask me but then you didn't ask and I'm not talking about politics.

Spring has finally arrived up here and not a minute too soon. In typical Eastern Ontario fashion we went from 35 F to 85 F in 4 days. It just stunning how fast things are growing this week, playing catch-up maybe. Lots of pics to come. I've always wanted a cottage by the water so this spring I decided to get the next best thing, a camper trailer. I got it from Ryan's grandparents who have kept it like brand new for the past few years. I plan on taking TR on the road this summer. Maybe I'll install some webcams and see what kind of trouble I can get up to. Some pics of the camper are here. Check back for updates of my travels in the TRmobile.

December 18, 2007 - Well this site has sure grown over the past couple of months. 25 new quality feeds have been added, fulfilling my promise that I would replace all the stale stuff I removed in the summer. Now the bottom of the page is just as important as the top! Among the noteworthy new feeds is Gay Mega Feed this could be an entire website on it's own and in all honesty has more content than alot of stand alone paysites that exist out there. The TV feeds are also outstanding quality with a diverse assortment of videos served up in fab high definition streaming video! Vic and Pavel on the Originals have proved to be our most popular offering in that section yet. Lots more hot stuff coming soon! Also with some new advertising and such over the past couple of months we have gained alot of new members, I welcome you all, hope you enjoy the site and as always you can email me anytime with problems, feedback or just to say hello.

What a year for snow where I live. We are just getting walloped, it's not even Christmas yet and we already have 2 feet on the ground and it just keeps coming. A complete flip from the unusual green Chistmas we had last year. I actually love the snow and find nothing more invigorating than bundling up and spending some time outdoors, I don't think anything beats the feeling of coming in the warm house for a hot drink after a few hours in the freezing cold. I thought this was a kewl picture, it's my dog Bandit's girlfriend from the farm next door waiting patiently like a statue in the perishing cold for Bandit to come out and play, Bandit does his best to stay and play with her but he does not have the coat she has and doesn't last long in these freezing temperatures. You can click on the pic to enlarge it as you can with most pics on my blog. Here's some more winter pics I have taken over the past month.

The garage is coming along well and is pretty much wrapped up until the new year I've updated the picture gallery here.

I am having company for the Christmas holidays so I've been busy decorating the house and a tree. I'm also hosting my family supper this year, my Mum is worrying her head off that I won't be able to pull it off and we'll end up at McDonalds for Christmas dinner. Mum should really have more faith in my ability to call friends for help. I'm really in the spirit this year, I wonder if all the snow adds to that feeling. Have a really good holiday season to all who celebrate and a safe and peaceful new year. It's been a pleasure serving up my website for yet another year.

Happy season to all from me and Bandit.

November 20, 2007 - If you like hot Asian guys then I just added a new site for you! Boykakke is one of the premiere Asian gay sites on the net. Hope you enjoy. We are very close to the debut of our "DVD a day" for the Video Downloads. You will be able to download a new full length DVD every day and the videos will be presented with categories and search functions for easier browsing! I will also welcome suggestions for titles you would like to see on the site.

My driver's test update.... I didn't fail, my stupid car failed.

Actually I let the damn plates expire. The guy didn't even start the test.

I totally forgot your plates have to be renewed on your birthday in Ontario. It's different out west. When I renewed it today the lady said I should have gotten mail about it but unless it got lost in the shuffle - I didn't.

Oh well, one good thing I managed to rebook the test for a week from Friday, I was very worried it would be months.

October 31, 2007 - When I moved out west I let my Ontario license expire for more than 7 years. When I moved back they told me I'd have to go through the whole process again. I have been driving but I've needed a licensed driver with me.

And YES I've always made sure the licensed driver is with me.

Well I have my driver's test (finally! ) in a week. I can't believe after driving for so many years that I'm actually nervous. I'll die if I fail.

I've been practising parallel parking, I would say that's my biggest weakness. A friend told me she told her instructor she couldn't do it and he asked "Do you ever plan on doing it?" she said no and that was it - she passed. I wonder if I should take that approach? My luck that'll fail me on the spot.

Anyway, I'll do lots of driving in the next week to get ready.



I'm building a garage and thought I'd share the progress in pics


How Could You?
A story told from a dog's point of view...

When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh.
You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and gloves and a
couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I
was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" - but
then you'd relent, and roll me over for a belly rub.

My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were
terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights
of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret
dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went
for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I
only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I
took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home when you were out.

Gradually, you began spending more time on your computer and on your career, and
more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently,
comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you
about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when
you fell in love.

He, now your partner, is not a "dog person" - still I welcomed him into
our home, tried to show him affection, and obeyed him. I was happy
because you were happy.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog,
that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories
about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the
subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you
resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new opportunity in another city, and you
will be moving to a place that does not allow pets. You've made the
right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your
only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter.
It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness.
You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home
for him." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the
realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers." You gave me a
goodbye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take
my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have
one, too.

After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your
upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good
home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules
allow.
They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first,
whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you
that you had changed your mind - that this was all a bad dream...or I
hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.
When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of
happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner
and waited.

I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I
padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet
room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to
worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there
was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As
is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears
weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every
mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her
cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many
years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I
felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down
sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I'm so sorry." She
hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to
a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or
have to fend for myself - a place of love and light so very different
from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to
convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not
directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I
will think of you and wait for you forever.

May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

October 16, 2007 - As some of you will know I've been a pot smoker for a very long time. I started in my late teens and never looked back. I even tried growing the stuff for awhile. Over the years I have defended it's use with the common arguments such as "it's not as harmful as alcohol and that's legal", "it doesn't lead to heavier drug use", "pot smokers are mostly pacifists", "it's natural" all of that stuff. Well I still believe that is doesn't lead to harder drug use, if it did I would surely have died from a heroin overdose by now. I also still find the comparison to alcohol legit and believe it's prohibition goes way back to the 40's and 50's and the chemical industries' desire to put the hemp industry out of business and pave the way for all the chemicals and plastics the world consumes today. I still believe it is a peaceful form of recreation and doesn't lead to barroom brawls. I don't think it's entirely natural. The way it is grown hydroponically nowadays is definitely not natural and the pot has gotten extremely potent with the grower's interference. Bottom line I don't condemn it.
I have, however, come to the conclusion that it has not been good for me. I have always been a shy guy but my pot usage has made that much worse almost to the point of shut in at times. It makes me put stuff off and be a major procrastinator. I don't think it ever affected my memory like I've heard it does to other people but how can I really judge what I don't know.
Three weeks ago I had a very sudden desire to make changes in my life. It came out of nowhere, nothing really induced it, it just happened. I decided I didn't want to smoke anymore. Ever since I became a webmaster and started working online the habit has gotten worse for me. At least when I worked outside of the house I never used to toke until after work allowing me to lead a half normal life at work.
So for the past three weeks I have not touched the stuff during daylight hours and now have it down to just one "bedtime toke". I'm really scared of my ability to sleep without it, sleeping was always a problem for me going back to when I was just a youngster and pot was a savior for that. I did make it through two nights in the past three weeks without touching the stuff at all but the sleeping was rough and I woke up pretty tired. I plan to cut it out completely but need to do it my own way at my own speed. The first few mornings during the first week I woke up inexplicably sad, almost to the point of tears, that has since passed thank goodness. The changes in me have been astronomical and everyone in my life has really noticed. I'm way more sociable and actually have a hard time staying home now and I find myself getting bored alot more often. So I go out even if it's just driving around the town or visiting my Mum. I find I'm still pretty intolerant of alot of things, but I always have been and that is something I intend to work on. Time has slowed down in a major way I find myself looking at the clock ten times a day, hopefully that too will pass, not that I want time to fly by but I need to get the time flow thing working again.
I am not one for taking vitamins and supplements - I do OK eating but I am taking salmon oil at the suggestion of a good friend who has been through the quitting pot saga. I drink half my weight in ounces of water every day now and I have noticed a huge change in my skin, digestion and other things. I never drank water before and now I find myself craving it. Don't let anyone tell you drinking water isn't a good thing. It definitely is. Anyway that's where I'm at right now. Cheers to a clear-headed future. I'll keep you posted how it goes.


A few of you have asked me how I keep in shape (at my age ) so I put together a little video of my daily routine, it's pretty bad but it does show my daily exercise routine. You can see it here.

Hope everyone is well and if anyone has any tips or wants to talk about pot usage please drop me an email. As always if you have any comments, complaints, suggestions or anything at all about the website I love hearing from you. Here's some more assorted pics from around the house from the past few weeks - some amazing colors in the garden.

September 19, 2007 - Lots of new stuff coming up this fall and I was particularily pleased to add Jake Cruise to the line up. Jake films and often participates in his videos and has become world renowned for his ability to find hot, often straight amateur guys. Some people like his personal interaction with the boys others don't. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. Stay tuned for more new additions in the next few weeks. The new full length Video Downloads seem to be a hit - you're sure gobbling them up and giving the servers a good workout on Sundays.

The US Open was truly entertaining this year. No rain like the washout that was Wimbledon this year and lots of close, memorable matches. Seeying Moya get so far was a highlight. Everyone is asking "Can anyone beat Roger Federer" and the short answer is no. Actually that's the long answer too. Nobody even came close except for young Novak Djokovic who had 7 set points against him in the first two sets and lost both in heart breaking tie breaks. Federer has an incredible knack of denying his opponent on the really important points, combine that with a little nervousness to close out sets by Novak and that was the story of the match. The fact he didn't collapse after those sets is another tribute to him. He will certainly be a force to reckon with in the future, my hunch is Federer might be passing the torch to him one day. Novak is such a likable guy too, did you see his imitations of other player's serves at the end of his semi finals match? They were just hilarious, he nailed Sharapova, Roddick and Nadal and had the crowd in stitches. You can search Djokovic on YouTube to see those performances. Justine Henin managed to beat both William sisters en route to winning the championship, a feat nobody has ever accomplished. I think Henin is in Serena's head now after the three straight quarterfinal losses but I really thought Venus would beat her. Henin is looking supreme on the courts right now and is breathtaking to watch. The power coming out of that little smurf is incredible. Since she divorced her husband earlier this year she seems so much more friendly, outgoing and happy - I'm actually starting to like her (just a bit ). That battle tank of a thing, Kusnetsova, who faced her in the finals really didn't put up much of a fight. Justine is starting to look like the female Federer. I must admit I'm a bit weary of tennis at this point. It was a great season but I'm glad it's over.

Well it certainly was a great summer. I'm still single and content with that for now. I find I get alot more lonely in the winter months than in the summer. I'm thinking of taking up some kind of winter sport this year for two reasons, to stay healthy and to stay sociable. I don't want to spend another winter hibernating which is what I tend to do. I might try and take a trip somewhere this year, I'm not a seasoned traveller, more of a home body, but I'm starting to get a bug to travel.

Here's some more assorted pics.

August 28, 2007 - Another summer coming to an end, man this one went by fast for me. I had a great summer fixing up and painting the outside of my house, working on changes to the website and meeting new friends. Campfires and canoeing were a couple of highlights for me, poison ivy a definite low point . The trees are starting to turn really early this year and the Canada geese are even starting to gather for their southward migration - might be an early winter this year. The site has had some facelifts over the summer as you've probably noticed. I tried to make the Video Downloads, Originals and the Selected Sets a little easier to browse with larger thumbs and more preview pics. The Video Downloads will feature one full length movie each week as opposed to mixed scenes from now on. There is also some new stuff on the horizon for September I always appreciate your feedback so please keep all the emails coming. All kinds of feedback are welcome - email me anytime.

This was a strange sight to me, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it... perhaps a UFO (to me anyway ). This jet came out of nowhere and the smoke trail just suddenly started mid air. It came up so fast in the weirdest arc I've ever seen, made no sound at all, even when right over head - telling me it was one big ass plane as it must of been way up there. Almost looks like a 767 with a package on it's belly. Payload?? I researched some Canadian military planes and couldn't find anything quite like it. Any aviation whiz's out there care to let me know what the heck it is??

The US Open just started this week, I haven't had a lot of time to tune in but my picks this go around are Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic - neither a heavy favorite but both definitely contenders. As I've said before I think in Serena's case if she wants to win it bad enough she can will herself to. I've been playing a little tennis this summer and man am I rusty. Quite the workout on the knees and ankles tennis is.

Speaking of work outs, I've approached mine with a new vigor lately. I've been steadliy increasing the weights I use, something I stopped doing years ago, and I am seeing some results already Getting older I sure realize the importance of stretching now. I make sure and stretch before and after working out. I can even touch my toes again - something I thought was long since a thing of my past. If you can't touch your toes here's three simple exercises which will make it easier to do.

1) Get down on all fours, hands in line with shoulders, knees in line with hips. I think this exercise is officially called a Camel Cat. Round your back by pushing it upward. Pause then push your lower back towards the floor like an arched position of a cat. Do that ten times. Try touching your toes. If it's still a no go....
2) Place your heels on a 2x4 or 25 lb weight. Maintaining the natural curve in your lower back, bend forward at your hips and reach toward your toes. Pause, stand up and repeat ten times. Try touching your toes now, if it's still a no go then do the same thing again but this time elevate your toes instead of your heel on the 2x4. Try touching your toes again, if it's still not possible...
3) While standing roll the bottom of your bare foot over a tennis ball. Work your entire sole over the ball for 60 seconds and repeat with your other foot.
I bet you can touch your toes now.

Well happy back to school or work for those lucky enough to have had some time off this summer. Here's some late summer pics of me, Bandit, the house and garden.

July 14, 2007 - The new Originals duo went over well. Vic and Erik are pretty sexy young guys and they made a really hot video together, we'll see more of those two in the weeks to come. If you missed them there's some preview pics and a 30 second preview clip below. Martin, the beefy young hunk to the right will be coming to the Originals soon as well. Here's a peek at Milan and Lukas who will be next week's coupling. There are some hot movies coming up for the Video Downloads including a personal fave of mine "Prague Sightseeing" so look for those over the next few weeks. The new help page will be up by Monday and feel free to contact us anytime if you have problems, feedback or suggestions.

Preview Clip

It's been quite the week around here trying to get the damn colors for the outside of the house right. The week started out very frustrating but by the end we had finally found some colors we're satisfied with. My consulting group and I were all finally on the same page. Sometimes there were way too many cooks in the kitchen I think. So one side is basically done, I posted some pics at the link below. Now come sides 2, 3 and 4 of the neverending painting project.

Here's some new pics of the house painting and stuff.

July 7, 2007 - We missed an Originals update this week, sorry for that, but I think the wait will be worth it for the new stuff next week. There are some new video feeds coming this week which will feature really high quality streams of movies from exclusive studios not seen on other networks! Tylersroom currently boasts on site 680 videos in the Video Downloads, 90 exclusive videos and pic sets in the Originals and 160,000 pictures in the Selected Sets.

What a match Federer and Nadal just played in the Wimbledon finals. Wow. Federer won but Rafa pushed him to the edge, Roger was truly lost in the fourth set and I have never seen him unravel like that, true champions can pull themselves together and that he is and that he did in the fifth set. Nadal is getting closer and closer to Federer with every tournament it seems. I am quite pleased with myself I finally picked a Grand Slam winner, I don't get it right very often because I rarely choose the favorites. Venus Williams played like the Venus of old and smoked her way to the Championship in awesome form not unlike Serena did at the Australian Open a few months back. The William sisters are back with a vengeance this year. Novak Djokovic on the men's side impressed me the most this tournament, he is young and going to be a force to be reckoned with. He's just snuck his way into the top ten and is now ranked third in the world. He's really cute too, has a great personality and I love the way he takes off his shirt post match and throws it to the crowd a la soccer match. Not sure what the proper folk at the All England Club think about that.

The house painting came to a grinding halt on Friday when I decided I didn't like the new color scheme. Man was I in the doghouse haha. After several gallons of new colors we reached a consensus and will keep the main color but add a dark ochre to the windows to try and tone the overall look down. I was finding it a little jarring. Here's some pics of me conquering my newly acquired fear of heights, the painting progress and more garden pics.

July 2, 2007 - I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. The weather up here has been a bit funky, either boiling hot or unnaturally cool. Not very much rain though and things are starting to need it. Moving along with the outside painting of my place though, I'm finding it alot of work but I have good help. I used to paint for a living years ago but I don't recall it being as physical as I do now. Maybe I'm just not in as good shape as I was then but it is nice to do some physical work for a change. I also used to (bravely or stupidly haha) hang off the top of a 40 foot ladder by one leg without a second thought - now put me at the top of a 20 foot and I'm basically paralyzed. I've posted some pics of the progress at the end of this post and I'll be posting a before and after look when I'm done for anyone who is interested in that type of thing. Someone got a tattoo.


The Original's action duos that I promised are ready and we should see the first episode this Friday, next Friday at the latest. This is pretty hot stuff so I'm sure you'll be as pleased with it as I am. The new video download formats have gone over well. I have closed the forum as I want to focus all my energy on the main site again. The tone there had eroded from the cheery place it once was and the file sharing was becoming a major issue for me as well. It was a good run and I thank everyone who participated. There will be a new support/help page up shortly and Ryan, Jason and I are always here to provide support. You can contact us through the links on this page. I will be updating this blog more often now with site updates, personal pics and my usual rantings.


Wimbledon seemed to come really fast on the heels of the French Open this year, not a bad thing for us tennis fans though. The rain, however, has made the tournament a real drag to watch and is obviously starting to wear on the players, Rafa Nadal has been downright cranky which is unusual for him. They are almost four days behind schedule now. My picks for this one are Venus Williams and Nadal. Tall order for Nadal to beat Federer at Wimbledon but ya never know, surely he has to break out of clay at some point. Just watched Serena Williams play through and win with a nasty leg injury, watching it happen at the end of the second set was brutal. What a performance in grit and determination that was. Now she has another showdown with Justine Henin in the quarters. If the injury sticks then I can only imagine it will be lights out for her - Henin is playing really well. I don't like betting against Serena ever mind you, she says she's the best in the world when she's healthy and at this point I'm tending to agree with her. Could still have an all Williams Ladies finals. Andy Roddick sure is a hottie and is playing well with Jimmy Connors coaching, he has a good chance as well, although he will inevitably find a way to bottle it.


Here's some pics of the painting and garden the past couple of weeks.

A joke...
There is this costume party with the theme being emotions, you have to come dressed as an emotion. One guy shows up with a big heart costume on, the guy on the door asks what emotion he is and the guy says he is love. "Go ahead in" says the door guy. The next guy to walk up is dressed as a tooth. "What emotion do you represent?" the door guy asks. "Well, I'm pain" he replies. "Cute, go right in" says the door guy. Another guy approachs buck naked wearing nothing but a pear on his dick. Surprised the door guy asks "And just what emotion do you represent?" he replies "I'm fuckin' despair."

June 4, 2007 -

A few things I wanted to bring up regarding the site.

Starting soon the Original's updates will be mostly action episodes instead of just the solo we've had for the past while. Most of it has been arranged I just need a few weeks to get it flowing.

The Video Downloads will have an additional option of a HQ flash file to choose from. That should be ready for this Sunday's update.

Some might remember a few years back we were the guinea pigs for a new set of video feeds that were based on flash. It was really buggy back then and we soon abandoned them. Well I've heard from a couple of webmaster buddies that these are good feeds now. So I'm talking to them now - watch for that shortly. Maybe nothing in terms of super exclusive stuff but more variety is always a good thing.

I was also wondering if anyone would be interested in a story section? How about full novels you can download with covers and all? Not sure what the demand would be for something like this so I need feedback on that before I go ahead. Feel free to add your 2 cents to the thread I started in the forum.



Well that bites, that rotten Justine Henin (she divorced the Hardenne guy) beat Serena Williams at the French Open (I had Serena picked and Nadal on the men's side in my pool). Oh well, she played much better than Serena this time. Can't see anyone dethroning Henin now. Jankovic is playing well as is Sharapova (that girl is 6'4" now ) but I still think it's Justine's to lose.

I think the best match of the tournament thus far was Sharapova and the veteran Patty Schnyder in the round of 16. A three set cliff hanger with Sharapova fighting off numerous Schnyder match points before finally overcoming her 9-7 in the third. Talk about both women never giving up.

Tommy Robredo (handsome dude ) put up a good challenge in the quarters against Federer but it sure looks like he and Nadal are cruising towards a finals re-match.


I'm not very popular with the hockey fans around here (Ottawa Valley) as I've been cheering for the Anaheim Ducks since they knocked 'my' team (The Vancouver Canucks) out of the NHL playoffs. I always root for the team that beats my favorite team - I think it's better to be beaten by the eventual champs - sorta makes them like the runners up.

After surviving a first period blitz by Ottawa the Ducks completely took over last night in game 4 to take a 3-1 series stranglehold back to Anaheim for game 5. I have to admit I was almost hoping the Sens would win tonight so the series might go longer. Very entertaining series. At times it seemed Anaheim was so quick they made Ottawa look like the Old Timers league.

The Ducks are awesome - who knew so explosive and so much fun to watch. The score could have been 6-2 tonight but for the posts.

Ottawa has a great, talented team but they just seem stymied by the incredible Ducks defence, constant shoot-ins and tireless working of the boards. Not to mention the Ducks are winning way more face offs.

Did you see Don Cherry's debut on NBC? LOL not so good - he kept losing his voice.

Here's some pics I took around the garden the past couple of weeks.


Some personal stuff. My Dad and Mum divorced when I was 10. I was asked to choose who I wanted to live with. I really wanted to stay where my friends were in Deep River but my sister got to speak first and she chose Mum so I felt it was the right thing to do to choose Dad, his new wife, a new school and life in Pembroke (about 30 miles away). Anyway long story short, after bouncing back and forth a couple of times I was out on my own when I was 16.

I had an encounter with my Dad when I was 18 and was in my first year of college in another town. I had blown a big part of my student loan on my first ever car (was a wreck of a thing when I think back but I sure was pleased) and was back in Deep River visiting friends. Well I took my friends downtown to the confectionary most proud of my new wheels. On the way there we happened to pass my Dad and his wife out walking their dogs. Being young and I guess wanting to show Dad I was doing OK I honked as we passed them and we went around the block and went by honking again. They didn't acknowledge me and were walking very quickly at this point. Off we went to the store. As soon as we got what we wanted and went to drive home we were surrounded by the entire Deep River police force (3 cars - small town haha) the officer said he had a report of me reckless driving. He asked for my license which I gave him. He looked a little surprised and said do you know John, I said "Yes that's my Dad". He said "Oh geez OK we'll just go over there and straighten this out". I sat in the cop car for about 10 minutes while the cop was inside Dad's house talking. He came out looking a little off and said "I have to charge you with reckless driving, endangering life". I went to court and it was basically dismissed (Dad was a big player in town) but the judge told me I wasn't welcome in the town I grew up in.

Okay the short version isn't that short haha. Sorry for being a little personal, I am not looking for any kind of sympathy - I just need to talk about what happened yesterday.

So that's the last time I ever saw my Dad. The last time I ever spoke to him he was driving me back to Pembroke after trying to accomodate me when I was 14 and he said "Don't come back until you're a success and have a degree. I expect you'll be in jail. Maybe you should join the army".

So I fell out of touch with all family after I went out on my own at 16. As I've said before, when I got back in touch Dad had died a few years earlier, young at 56. I never felt any sorrow, never cried, nothing. I had a big blank spot there. Apprently my Dad was good at doing this too and unfortunately I take after him a little.

Yesterday, I got a surprise message from Helen, my Dad's wife, who really had tried hard to make the "new" family work way back then. I remember her kitchen table family meetings LOL "Tyler, you have such mean eyes" mean? no, more like blanking out not unlike the father. Helen went along with my Dad all those years later in blocking out my sister and I and I always wondered why. It wasn't her way, at least back then it wasn't. I was my Dad's way though at least I've always thought it was. Loyalty to Dad?

She wants to meet up with me. I just about dropped dead on the spot. She wants to meet with me 20 years later? Isn't she frightened I will be after my Dad's money? Tell me what a failure I am for being gay? Running an adult business? (Dad was a pioneer with computers at AECL). Cynical yes, for good reason, no. I never knew Helen to be anything but a nice woman.

Tonight it hit me like a tidal wave out of nowhere. I cried so much my head and chest ached. All these questions, possiblities that Helen might answer flooded my mind. OMG maybe I did love my Dad, is it possible to hold off grieving a death for 6 years?

I just freakin want to know why he wrote me off. I just kept asking that tonight "WHY?"

I think this might be one of the healthiest meetings of my whole life.

May 14, 2007 - Warm weather means guys in shorts with no shirts on. The weather has been beautiful here in Eastern Ontario for the past couple of weeks, all the bulbs are blooming, the grass is green and shirtless boys are starting to appear. . Ryan and Jason have really settled in now and are starting to come up with new ideas and ways to improve and add to the site. . We added a couple of new video feeds to the Elite series, what the Elite Series lacks in newer titles they make up for in high quality resolution. They just need to expand their library a little but with all the other options available around here they're a great extra for the site nonetheless. There is some new stuff coming up later this month. If you're not a member of my site check out all the daily updates offered on the What's New page. Never a dull day around here!

Back to the nice weather for a minute, as you might know from some of the picture galleries I've posted I live in a very old but large wooden farm house. Well a buddy and I have taken on the daunting task of scraping it down and repainting it. It has a ton of trim so the job is pretty big. The house has been blue for 25 years now and around town is actually refered to as the 'Blue House on the Hill' as it used to be a B&B, even a Tearoom once, well I guess I might be confusing the locals because it's going a totally new color scheme . A light sandstone type color with white trim and red and olive accents. So far we are 80% through a really good prep job (well I must be honest here my buddy is 70% through it, I'm maybe 10% through LOL), he's rebuilding the veranda as well. I've painted for a living in the past so I intend to kick into full gear when we start that part. I'll post some pics throughout the various stages on the forum and here.

Here's some pics I took around the garden and of the house prepping this week.

Well it's nice to see Daimler and Chrysler split, Daimler has been bleeding Chrysler dry for the past ten years. Too bad they still own 19%.
I wonder how Jeep will factor into this and the future of the SRT. From what I've read Jeep and Dodge will all stay under the Chrysler umbrella and the restructuring that was in place will continue.

Speaking of Dodge, the Challenger is back in 2008.
It is starting production in the fall (in Canada ) and will be on the ground in spring 2008. Dodge has stayed very true to the original muscle car in this new beauty. I might just trade in my Charger for one of these. The pre-hype on the Challenger is huge amongst Dodge enthusiasts - they might have a big hit on their hands. I have heard conflicting stories about whether it will be available as an R/T or an SRT8 or both. But Dodge has confirmed it will come in Plum Crazy color. *drools*

As I have written before I ditched my family when I was in my late teens and went about my own life. After no contact at all with my Mum for 15 years we got back in touch. Much had changed, my Dad had died, my sister was married (and divorced) with two amazing children and all four of my grandparents were gone. It was a major wake up call about the importance of family and time no matter how hard it can be. My Mum reluctantly moved back to Canada a couple of years ago (she had been looking after her parents until their deaths in Coventry, England) desiring to be near to her son and daughter. We are all living close by each other now and despite some typical family quarreling get along quite well now.

For Mother's Day my sister and I took my Mum out for lunch and shopping to a little town that she had been wanting to visit. It was a great day, I have never seen my Mum so happy and it rubbed off on both of us. Later in the day I got this email from my Mum and just melted into a pile on the floor. I am so happy I am living my life with my Mum a big part of it and I will never leave again.

"Just to say thanks again for such a lovely mother's day.  I had a really nice time (the best ever) having the two of you there together.  Thanks also for driving so kindly - it probably is hard to do in such a vehicle and I appreciate it. I enjoyed my lunch, love my shirt and the bedspread is perfect on my bed.  I have been looking for such a one for ages.  Thanks also for the tulips and the English looking kitty.  I think (she) most looks like Gracie so that will have to be her name. I never tell you this enough but you are my boy, my son and I love you."

Her boy.

Happy Mother's day Mum.


Take care all and enjoy spring!

April 11, 2007 - Well the big kitchen renovation is finally done. Way over budget and way over due but nonetheless it's done. I'm happy with it, it's especially nice at night very warm and inviting. Now it's time to learn how to cook I was grocery shopping with a buddy last week and he suggested I try cooking a pork roast - well for PB and J Tyler that is a pretty big leap. He assured me his recipe was dummy proof and simple. He told me to put the roast and some baby potatoes and carrots in a roasting type pan, fill it up with 1/2 cup of water and seasoning of my choice. I did all that but misheard the 'fill the pan with a half cup of water' for 'fill the pan half full of water'. Well needless to say the damn thing took 2 hours to cook (boil I should say) and it was just AWFUL. Waterlogged and tasteless. Even Bandit gave it a pass. . I've put that behind me though and am going to try again sometime. The final kitchen pictures are here.


My new website helpers, Ryan and Jason are working out really well. Super nice young guys who are becoming quite active in the forums and webcam chat. They've caught on quickly and will continue running the site as you have come to expect while I seek out new content and partnerships for us.

I guess it's true white guys can't dance.

Mar 22, 2007 - The amount of content on the site is getting crazy, the forums are very entertaining and our webcam chat has really picked up lately thanks to several outgoing guys I've been doing this alone for 7 years now and to be totally honest I'm really tired. I decided I wanted to keep it going over the past year as long as you want it so I have hired two young guys to take over the daily operations of the site. This will free me up to take a much needed holiday and do more of the stuff I enjoy doing like updating this blog and posting and catching up on the forum. The day to day, seven days a week, for all these years now has put me on empty. The guys who I am in the process of 'training' are great young lads who will make sure the site runs exactly as it does now. I will have more time to find and seek out new content and partnerships for new things to enhance the website as well. I will be introducing the guys on the forum shortly and I expect you to give them a healthy forum initiation (I'm working on thickening up their skin )

Thanks to everyone who wrote about my health - I'm doing great. I haven't had another bout of the vertigo and I'm working on eating better food.

Spring is in the air, I can't wait! After a particularily nasty beginning to March up here it has suddenly turned mild and the melt is on. I am looking forward to getting out with my camera and taking some more pictures. The pictures everyone shares in the Gallery on our forum are just amazing. Nature pics, travel pics, spontaneous pics, fun pics, self pics, memorabilia - you name it, it's there!

My seven month long kitchen project is finally coming to a close. I am really pleased with it, I'll post some pictures in a week or so. Till then, enjoy yourselves!

Feb 6, 2007 - *repeats to himself*

I will never take the Super Bee out in the snow again

I will never take the Super Bee out in the snow again



Mother nature is sure spanking us for having such a mild holiday season and fall. Plunged right into a major deep freeze We haven't got alot of snow at all though, maybe 8 inches total, unlike some parts of North America which have just been getting dumped on. Weird weather.
More pics rescueing the Bee

Jan 29, 2007 - I haven't been around much the past few days as I've been trying to stay on my feet.

Just after supper on Saturday I was struck with a nauseating case of vertigo like I've never felt before. My first reaction was "man, this is good pot" but soon enough I realized something not so good was happening. It went on quite severe for about an hour - at one point I held onto the bed like it was floating in the ocean - after that it subsided considerably but was still there if I moved. I decided bed and TV was the answer, I was a little worried (OK alot worried ) but I hate doctors and hospitals and I especially hate having my evening ruined.

I was awoken several times in the night by this distant motor starting up and turning off every 30 seconds or so. It was a new noise and at 4 AM I decided to go hunting for it not knowing if it was in the house or not. I noticed the vertigo but it was not as bad as earlier. I couldn't find the source of the damn noise anywhere and frustrated I stuffed some tissue into my ears to drown it out and went back to bed. Well I never made the connection between the dizziness and the motor sound but thinking back I guess I should of when it was still just as loud with the earplugs in

Sunday morning, I felt much better but still dizzy if turning quickly or raising my arms. I figured I'd give it 24 more hours and see if perhaps it was just some weird flu variation (it came on so suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere) and just put up with it. I went for Sunday dinner at Mum's and she suggested I give it until Monday (today) and then go in if it was still there. She then told me about a condition my father got when he was about the same age as me and all the symptoms seemed pretty similar although not being an alarmist she also thought I might just have a bug. She gave me her emergency bat phone to take home with me just in case.

Still dizzy this morning I very reluctantly went to see my Doctor, he almost immediately diagnosed it as Meniere's Disease (what my father had had). An ear fluid problem that affects one's balance and can cause weird sounds in the ears and eventually hearing loss (not total but some ranges) unless treated. He is doing some blood tests and I have a brain scan on Wednesday just to be sure it's not a cerebral hemmorage (don't like the sound of that one ) but he's 99% it isn't that as I don't have neck pain and headaches which are other symptoms of that.

Only the first bout of Meniere lasts longer than 24 hours and a lingering feeling of motion sickness can last for several days after the attack - that is definately where I'm at now. It's a real nuisance as I love to rock and well you get the picture. I'd rather have the most painful injury than this kind of thing, it's a really nasty feeling.

I wish they hadn't called it Meniere's Disease, I don't like that word, disease. Why not Meniere's Syndrome or Meniere's Revenge - something kewl sounding.

So sorry for the rambling but I do hope it is this Meniere's thing as that is quite manageable. I had basically prepared my funeral on Saturday night I decided I want to be buried in the back yard in my Super Bee. Mom was not too pleased to hear that.

Jan 20, 2007 - Wow, an absolute shellacking at the Australian Open. Serena Williams was jaw droppingly good in the Aussie Open final, she absolutely decimated the world's new #1 Maria Sharapova. I don't think she'll hold that title for long as a matter of fact after seeing Serena play like this I'd say she is back with a vengeance. She says she's not even fit right now and intends to work on that - must make the other gals on the tour shudder. Maybe she will have a chance at the true Grand Slam this year, when she plays like this she is one of the sport's rare real superstars. Granted, Sharapova's serve failed her but I don't think there is anyone on this planet who could have beaten Serena tonight. Steffi was still at her prime at Serena's age... way to go Serena.

Jan 14, 2007 - I hope everyone had a good holiday season! I did but happy it's over and now it's back to work. I've been spending the first few weeks of the new year cleaning my place and catching up on webwork. We officially had a green Christmas, this pic was taken out back on the 25th. Crazy stuff, first one I remember around these parts. No new years resolutiuons on my part although I'd love to meet a partner this year. Someone special ya know. I know trying too hard doesn't work but I'm still hopeful.

Things are going to get ever better at Tylers Room. I have some stuff in the works plus the upcoming new Original models are some of the hottest ever. You can check some of them out here

I just don't get it. What will sending more troops accomplish? Training an army which fights against itself? Taking over and securing areas for one side, the Iraqi government? whose side? Or is it a long term commitment, wrapped up in a puppet Iraqi government, to control that country. Global positioning like a Risk game? Gets me that the Bush admin boys seem impatient with a US backed government of a complex nation just recently destroyed to get on with it and take control. In my eyes either the US slowly pulls out (or should I say redeploys) and a new dictator type takes power to control the sectarianism or the US army fully moves in for good. I'd love to look at the toilet bowl as half full but with this particular region/conflict I can't.
Let's hope the newly elected US Congress and Senate can do something to stop this without harming any of the guys fighting over there.

OMG I just watched two pre-releases live from the upcoming new Sinéad O'Connor album 'Theology' WOW
I am sooo excited, this sounds like vintage Sinéad, she's shaved her head again, has an edge to her voice, has a few crowfeet now which suit her lovely face just fine and the two new songs I heard are awesome.
9 of the 12 tracks will be her own writing woot - been a long while and three covers including two I can't wait to hear - Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice’s ‘I Don’t Know How To Love Him’ and traditional (Boney M to me ) ‘Rivers Of Babylon’, with new lyrics added by Sinéad.
The buzz is she is gonna be back with a vengeance from what I heard this evening I concur.

My kitchen reno is WAY behind schedule. . But the center island just went in and I can finally see a light at the end of tunnel. I'll update that thread of pictures shortly and hopefully for the LAST time soon. Take care buds.

Dec 20, 2006 - Woohoo! I just finished my Christmas shopping. Didn't take me too long, I found a nice package of envelopes at Staples and the line up at the bank machine wasn't too long.

If you've read here before you'll know I have been having my kitchen renovated and it was supposed to be all done and smart for Christmas dinner at Tylers. Well it's nowhere near done the current state of events has been updated in the kitchen reno page. I had to cancel dinner and now I've had a falling out with my Mum over it, my sister is mad at me and well it's a holly happy joy of a time. I'm having some forum mates over instead.

We have some snow though and that's a good thing. I love snowballs, snowforts and I even don't mind shovelling for the first couple of months. Here's some snow pics.

I couldn't drive the Super Bee in the winter it handles about as well on the snow as a toboggan so I stored it for the winter and maxed out my credit completely getting a Jeep for the winter. Now I have two cars and no money for gasoline. The Jeep is another fast one though. Here's a video my buddy and I made.

There are now currenly 514 video downloads, 57 originals vids and sets and 133,000 pictures in the Selected Sets. Not to mention almost all feeds and offsite content available on the net. Is there room to grow? Damn right. I have some new reality type sites to add to Tylersroom over the next few weeks.

Happy season to all from me and Bandit.
