Dad Life - Great Tongue in Cheek Youtube Video About Being a Dad

So knowing my wife wants to be a secret blogger herself, she's been sending me things to put up here. I just so decided I would have to appease her, as I did chuckle quite a bit and this little gem of a youtube video.


Obviously once you start watching you'll see that it is quite appropriate for a blog by an author calling himself, "This Dad."  I don't really know if it needs much more explanation. It is rather fitting, and hits the mark in a funny way about what it's like to lose your sports car, your ten girlfriends and your weekends drinking beer with your pals when babies arrive. We still want to pretend were cool!   


Enjoy!

Vancouver Canucks Training Camp : It's a Tease!

    So I'd been wondering what to post about the Vancouver Canucks all day today. Perhaps it was the rainy weather, or maybe it was irritation of the Pittsburgh Steelers second game in a week not being televised in our area, but I haven't felt too inspired. 
    I'm not a stats guy. I don't like looking up how many goals Brendan Morrison scored in his second full season with the Canucks or how many shots Roberto Luongo faced in Game 52 last season. If I did, I guess I could find some sort of stats to compile and b.s. my way through a blog post.  I, and my many fans of A Man's Blog would probably fall asleep about half way through. I decided I'd 'editorialize' and describe why I need a cold shower about this time of year.

Top Viewed YouTube Video's Ever - So Far

Since I posted the video of the stunning driving of Ken Block, it got me thinking about something. When I posted the video link to my site I noticed it had over four million views on Youtube at the time, that's right, four million.  I wondered, what video has the most views on the popular video site?  I did some searching and researching, and decided I'd post the findings here.  I personally don't want to watch all of them, but some of you might, since the top of the pile has been viewed over THREE HUNDRED MILLION times. I don't think I'll watch it once. <insert vomit noises here>.  I will however, force myself to watch two and four. A man does need to suck it up once and a while in the sake of good blogging. :)

Gymkhana Three : Best Youtube Video I've Ever Seen

I had to switch gears (almost literally) away from my Vancouver Canucks posts of late to show this video on my blog. This is a site called "A Man's Blog" after all, and if you're a man, you'll like this! If you don't like it, hmm, I'd be checking for a set..


I saw this posted to a forum I frequent and I laughed in amazement the whole way through. It sure doesn't look like video trickery... This man can DRIVE!!  Awesome, other than it's a Ford, but I'll forgive him.



This is just awesome! Don't be square, share! Easy one button icons right below!

Vancouver Canucks: Training Camp Eve

Hello Hockey Season!


The Canucks veterans report to main camp tomorrow, to begin which should be an interesting pre-season. Made more interesting in the announcement that Cody Hodgson WILL be at camp with the vets.  This blogger certainly hopes the young fellow isn't pushing it once again, and is completely healthy. We all understand his passion and desire to play in the NHL and make a name for himself in the pro's, but Cody, I know you're reading, DON'T MAKE IT WORSE.  


My "The Hockey News" season preview features a cover shot of one Henrik Sedin(next Swedish Captain?) announcing he now has the Hart Trophy, is Stanley Next?  Yes you read it, a eastern based magazine calling the Canucks their choice for winning the Stanley Cup?  Huh?  Did I read that right?
