It's time for an update.  I didn't get raptured. I came home from touring on May 13 and would have started writing again but a series of events have kept me from picking up where I left off. 1)  May 14 - May 20: Prepared for Rapture 2)  May 21: Waited for Rapture 3)  May 22 - May 26:  Enjoyed the Rapture   4)  May 27:  Discovered Rapture didn't actually happen 5)  May 28:  Watched UFC 130 5)

Hey everyone, My blog is going through a renovation and I'm presently on tour. So, new entries aren't going to happen for the next two weeks. Feel free to check out the archives for a good laugh or two. If you are interested in finding out what's happening while I'm on the road, you can check out my FB Page (The Real Timmy Boyle) or follow me on Twitter (@timmybits). Have a good one, Timmy.

We are two days away from the greatest wedding in the history of the entire world! That’s right. You heard me. GREATEST wedding in the HISTORY of the ENTIRE world! So, with it being such an epic occasion, I certainly understand why some people are quite upset about not being invited. Take singer, songwriter Lily Allen for one. I mean, she sang at the 2007 Memorial Concert for Diana (

Whew! That was close. Let me start by saying, I’m so thankful for people like Margaret Andrews - the wonderfully creative and supernaturally insightful author of Nanny Goats in Panties. Not only does her blog often make me laugh, but yesterday she single-handedly saved me from making the biggest mistake of my virtual life! You see, in a desperate attempt to more effectively establish my

There was a time when I thought Yoga was only for women…and men who couldn’t quite figure out how to throw properly. But then…I attempted this: That’s my cousin, Amy. My attempt looked more like this: Anyways, I’ve come along way and have actually become a pro-yogaer even though I’m not yet a pro-yogaer…if you know what I mean. Recently, while stuck in the Downward Dog pose... ...I began

A good friend of mine, Diane Loew recently reflected, in her blog “Random Ramblings Of…” on the following: “Things I Never Thought I’d Say” She had a very interesting list…and it inspired me. You see, there are plenty of things I could write in that regard. My list of things I never thought I’d say would probably start with... “Can I try on those pink, arm length plastic gloves used to

A few days ago I stumbled across the following link: “How to: Make a Captain America Shield From a Satellite Dish.” *link at bottom of post That is so… …AWESOME! I mean really…who doesn’t want a Captain America shield? My only assumption is dead people. But I bet if you asked them…even they’d want one.

Tomorrow is a big day in Timmy’s little world. I can’t call it my television debut. That was January 12, 2007, when I was highlighted in an Entertainment Tonight Canada segment. In fact, if you tune in to CTS TOMORROW (Sat. Mar. 26) at 10:30pm (Ont.) you’ll be able to hear a little bit about that experience. You see, four years ago, not long after I attempted to become the lone male in a

The latest “look” to hit the fashion world has been established by the incredibly stunning, and soon to be “Princess”, Kate Middleton. Her hair is to die for! Now, even with world-wide disasters of epic proportions surfacing almost monthly, there are only two things I truly fear: 1. Being a tall thin man with a large gut and, 2. Being “fashionably” late As a result, all my energy is

Sometimes we only have a moment. Sometimes even less. What a person does with that brief window of opportunity can speak volumes about the individual…and make a world of difference in the lives of others. What would your moment say about you? How would your moment help others? What if you only had one minute to share the wisdom you’ve accumulated over your years? What if you only had a mere

*Check out the experiment HERE Okay. To call it an “experiment” is a little extreme, because that implies I actually had a theory & hypothesis in place. So, why did I contact the 77 Twits I follow? To satisfy some deep need to understand the complex dynamics of an organic community living in a technological shell? Nope. Just thought it would be cool. And it was. The responses, the

Inspired by @missstrickie, my partner in crime, I embarked on a little adventure in Twitterland. My goal was to contact every Twit I follow. “Twit” is the official word, right? I have no idea. In fact, despite being in the blue bird’s nest for almost 21 months, with over 1900 tweets to my name, I know very little about the workings of this vast social network…and still can’t define it in

On Sunday, the red carpet was rolled out and the Hollywood stars gathered together. It was such an awesome moment…there wasn’t a dry glass in the house. Well, my good friend Diane wrote a great POST on the unnecessary extravagance that is the Academy Awards. All that pomp and pageantry seems a little much in light of all the needs around this world…and the many celebrity-philanthropists who

I know it’s still a few months away, but I’m really excited about the impending Royal Wedding…despite not receiving my invitation yet. I’m sure it’s in the mail. On April 29, Prince William and Kate Middleton will become man and wife and while Prince William seems like a good dude and all…I’m not really interested in his role in all of this. I want to talk about Kate. I like Kate…and she’ll

I must say I’m very excited about all that lays in store for me over the next 12 months. That’s why my New Year Resolution is to keep a daily account of all my comings and goings.

Do cats have nine lives? Quite possibly. Mine has at least two. You see, last week I watched my cat die and…come back to life. On Sunday, we noticed Spanky wasn’t well which was both surprising…and not. His sudden “Unspankiness” caught us off guard because, except for the occasional war wound, he’s always been quite healthy. However, Spanky is also living in his “-er” years. If you

Already blessed with the best tropical climate this side of the sun, the inhabitants of Mercury get 4224 hours every day to live life to the fullest. Over 4,000 hours…a day!

Where’s the beef? Veggie Burgers. Nope. But it’s definitely where MY beef lies. For the record, I am a meat eater and have been for as long as I can remember. My favourite dishes include Meat Loaf, Meat Balls & Meat Pies - which although they include cow are very different than “Cow Pies”. Would you like fries with that? No thanks…but I’ll have another burger. I mean really, why would I fill

In High School, I took “Finite Math” because the “Basic Probability Theory” is applicable in everyday real-life settings…like trying to win the lottery and break Vegas. Recently, after making known my disdain for any math with no practical purpose (like multiplication and fractions), a young mathematician named Roy offered to share with me the relative merits of the Sierpinski Triangle.

Human beings, including myself (despite suspicions I am probably from another planet), seem to possess an innate tendency to assume each hurdle which stands before them, every curve ball life throws and all Gladiators they must fight are problems unique to them. However, there is a basic fundamental flaw in such thinking. Mainly that hurdles, baseball games and Gladiators haven’t been seen in

Reading the paper this morning, I discovered today is a very sad day.  In fact, January 17th is THE most depressing day of the year…and there is a mathematical formula to prove it. I don’t know what’s more depressing…knowing that information or knowing someone took the time (and probably got paid) to figure this information out.

MOvember UPDATE: Week 2 Well, I’ve been rockin’ the ‘stache for a full week and, I must say, it’s really beginning to grow on me. Apparently, I’m rockin’ the double entendre as well. Anyways, when my wife gave me the okay to dive lip-first into the MOvember pool, I’m sure she was hoping for a ripple…not a splash. So, when I handed the future of my face into the hands of the voting public she,

Dear Generation Keyboard, You were born during a time when learning how to crawl and learning how to type happened simultaneously. Upon first glance, your generation looks like every other but a closer examination of your hands reveals your place in history. It is hard to ignore the characters A,S,D,F,J,K,L and : imprinted on the eternal callus’ of each finger tip. Typing is not what you do.

When my wife suggested that I become a Mo Bro to help raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, I was shocked. Now, please understand, my reaction was not because my wife is of the uncharitable sort but rather it was that she hates moustaches. However, she (for reasons yet discovered) not only gave me permission to take part in MOvember, but allowed me to put my face, and potential ‘stache

It was an easy decision to rock the 'stache for MOvember to help raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research.  It wasn't so easy to decide which 'stache I should rock. So...I put my face in your hands.  Last week I posted 10 potential 'staches and, embracing the democratic process, I opened the polls.  Ladies and Gentlemen, the results are in. It was a tight race. Six 'staches were

Conversation is good. On Monday, I posted Facebook to Facebook, sent a direct message on Twitter and even chatted on Yahoo!. However, when no one responded, I eventually went to the stairs and yelled up to my kids to get off Facebook, Twitter & Chat and come down for dinner. It was a great dinner.  We texted some very funny jokes to one another. Yesterday morning, I had a deeply intimate

I’m a pretty simple man (insert not so witty but appropriate shots at my intellect here). I don’t need a whole lot and could easily get by with my baseball glove, a video camera and a pair of wool socks. In fact, I’ve actually done it…and I’m praying that video doesn’t make it online. Despite my simplicity, I do understand things tend to accumulate over time. With the passing of days comes the

On November 1st, I set out to rock the 'stache in hopes of raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer.  But, first I need your help to decide what 'stache I should attempt to rock.  The poll is open Oct. 25 at 8:00am - Oct. 31 at 8:00pm.  The winning 'stache will be announced on Nov. 1.

I love my job. It’s a fun job. However, I recently came across a Yahoo article titled, "Where have all the fun jobs gone?" and discovered a list of eight occupations that are fun AND lucrative (which is probably why “Comedian” wasn’t on it). After reading it over, I quickly realized that I could easily do each of those jobs on a contract basis and thereby increase my fun level eight-fold and

On Tuesday, in honour of Thanksgiving (the Canadian one), I posted my "I am Thankful for..." list.  You can read it here. However, a friend of mine - coincidentally named Tim as well - wrote a list that inspired me to also consider those things that I'm NOT thankful for.  So, here are those things: I am NOT thankful for (in no particular order)… 1. Cheese Whiz. I don’t eat it…and never will.

The world seems to be separated into two very distinct categories. Me and everyone else. But that’s for another day. However, there is yet another way to divide this great planet of ours. There are those who love cats and those who… …watch Glee. Sorry. I’m not sure why, but I suddenly realized that I’m probably the only living person to have never referenced Glee in their blog (let alone

On the weekend, my wife and I spent our date night watching the movie Easy A with a bunch of thirteen year-olds posing as 14 year-olds (because it was rated 14-A). Please note they weren’t our kids. Anyways, the movie is based on the book The Scarlet Letter, which tells of a 17th Century woman who, as a result of an adulterous relationship, is forced to wear on her garment, as a badge of shame,

Writing is 30% grammar, 30% spelling, 80% thinking of a good idea and 0% math. As a writer, the number one question that gets asked of me is, “What do you think about when you’re writing such deep inspirational material?” Actually, I should choose my words differently because although that may be the best question asked, the most popular question is, “What makes you think you’re a writer?”

Life is full of twists and turns. I woke up this morning with a plan and it was unfolding perfectly until a horrifying reality spun my day in a completely different direction. 1. Wake up… Check 2. Fall out of bed… Check 3. Splash water on face… Check 4. Stumble down stairs… Check 5. Eat Froot Loops… “Hey, where are the Froot Loops?!” It is moments like these that cause me to seriously

This morning I thought the world had come to an end. In the middle of an amazing dream about Ryan Seacrest and some dolphins, I was startled by a sound I would not wish upon my dearest of enemies. Words can not describe it...but if they could I would say that it sounded like the primal scream of thousands upon thousands of tortured souls. It was absolutely deafening and so terrifying that it

Yesterday my family and I were visiting friends and hit the Trifecta: Great BBQ, delightful conversation and the best blueberry cheesecake in the entire known world. We ate and laughed and…ate, long into the evening. However, it was an “All Good Thing” so, like all good things, we knew this too would not last forever. Our desire to fight the inevitable was strong but, once again, we failed to

On Aug. 13, 2009 I wrote my first blog post. It was a highly emotional experience and one that is still very hard to discuss without my tear ducts overflowing with...tears. I remember that moment like it was a year ago. Writing the words, "Welcome to Timmy's Mind" and clicking "Publish Post" was eerily similar to the day I watched my baby boy being pushed out into the world...but without all

They (the fictional people who are behind every proverbial saying) say there are two topics a person should not discuss when trying to maintain a calm and civil conversation. Those two things – according to “them” – are religion and politics. Now, although I am in absolute agreement with that thought process, I would like to simplify it one step further. I have come to realize that there is a

What an exciting day this is! It’s National Eclipse Day.It is the day where young girls, their cougarish moms and a few strange boys will flood movie theatres decked out in their tear stained Twilight shirts, to watch the much anticipated sequel in their beloved Edfest series.Here in Toronto, the police will once again be in full riot gear as they anticipate tensions between Team Edward and Team

Well, I am in a state of shock. About an hour ago, as I was perusing my Twitter feed, I came across a video link that had been posted by Alyssa Milano.  I not only found the video quite funny, but I was quite intrigued by the theory it expounded.  For those of you who lack the ability to push the play button on the above link, the theory is this: Twitter allows the average joe (or joe-ette)

Well, once again a part of my body is wrapped in ice. Last Friday it was my right knee. Today...it's my left wrist & forearm. Now, unlike the happiness that surrounded my knee "injury", there is certainly no joy in this latest meeting between me and the ice pack. As it stands right now, I have either a very badly sprained wrist or a hairline fracture. While playing baseball on Tuesday night, I

While waiting to post my next Dare2Dream update, I decided to write a quick educational blog entry.It has become very clear to me that online chatting has taken a prominent place in the lives of many. As a result, I have felt the need to pull up my socks and throw my hat into the world of internet communication. Join them or be joined as they say... Over the last six months, I've have poured my

Today, I went to court. I was in the final grouping of potential jurors for what has the makings of being a long trial. So I rose early this morning, kissed my wife goodbye (long and passionately…as usual), finished filling out my questionnaire (with the whole truth and nothing but the truth), and headed off to the courthouse.Upon arrival - but after going through metal detectors, riding four

100 Oh my goodness. What a ride! There were 20 weeks, over the last five months, that I composed a substantial blog post every Monday to Friday. During that time I invested close to 300 hours (8 weeks of full-time work), wrote almost 70,000 words (a good size book) and, as of yesterday, had posted 100 entries. Although it was quite draining - physically and mentally - I really have enjoyed

OOPS!Everyone makes mistakes, but not every mistake is equal.Some errors can simply be laughed off while others may leave eternal scars. One solely affects the individual, yet another may topple an entire nation. There are mistakes caused by ignorance and mistakes brought about by sheer stupidity.Life is filled with twists and turns and, as a result, it is sometimes near impossible to determine

I’m not going to lie. I find people…well…irritating. There is simply too many of them that seem to say things that seem to be completely void of any logical thought process.You may have heard the rumour going around, that goes like this:“A wise man once said, ‘There’s no such thing as a dumb question.’”Really? No such thing as a dumb question? Let me tell you something. If that rumour is true…

Ladies and gentlemen, I am mentally exhausted. I am emotionally drained. I can not go on like this much longer. I am done fooling around. It is time to get some answers. My competitive spirit is itching for the announcement of an “undisputed” champion and it will not rest until an arm is raised in victory! I simply must know… Is Alyssa Milano wittier than I?

Way to go Conan! I’m sure it will not be a surprise to anyone, when I say I am a fan of late-night talk shows. With my night-owl disposition, passion for comedy, genuine interest in people and love of television, it is quite obvious I have been wired for such. From the moment I was allowed to stay up to watch Carson, I have embraced the late night world. Despite a few valiant, but failed,

Ow.When I read those letters my heart overflows with gratitude, because they immediately make me think of …phonics, and without phonics I would be a spelling disaster.For those who didn’t have the privilege of being taught Phonics, “ow” makes the sound “ow”, like you would find in words such as, cowch, sowr and bowt.I know it seems simple, but it took me a while to pick it up.

Sheer lunacy!That’s how my wife refers to the ideas and initiatives that flow freely from my head. I disagree with her assessment.If the overflow of my mind is lunacy then that makes me a lunatic. If I am a lunatic then I would be a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish and unpredictable.By that definition, I am only ¼ loony (you can decide the fourth that applies).
