A Pause…
for the unfortunate event in Chile.
A moment of Silence and Prayer for the people and their families
who perished from last Saturday’s Earthquake.
May they rest in peace.
…and then it happened.
Regulation was over, down to Sudden Death Overtime.
Iginla slid down the puck to Crosby, after battling the corner with Suter.
Sidney Crosby, releases the puck onto Miller…
..and then it happened.
A historic Sonic Boom exploded
from every Canadian heart.
CANADA gets GOLD!
I just witnessed the greatest game of hockey
in this new generation.
Crosby removed his mouthpiece,
threw his gloves and stick on the ice,
Team Captain Neidermayer hugs him,
then Iginla hugs him,
then the whole team hugs him.
then Canadians hugged each other.
I hugged my son.
After he repeatedly screams at me for freakin’ him out.
Thank you to all the athletes.
Thank you, Canada.
I am proud to be one of you.
Je m’appelle Tyrone!
and Je suis Canadien!!!!

I paused my DVR and took a snapshot of history.
They might issue a letter to me to take this picture down
due to copyright rules, (I don’t know).
But they might, since they have no hearts and they all work for the devil.
— and a little video to end the Olympic fever.
I Believe
This Olympic Slogan has a double meaning for me today.
First, I believe in the success of Canada and its Olympians.
Especially with today’s Men’s Hockey Gold Match.
I have waited for this day with the utmost thrill.
Second and most importantly,
On a personal note,
We have heard some ill news in our family.
“I Believe” will have to take precedence for the benefit of my kin.
As much as I love for Canada to get Gold,
Family comes first.

On Feb 25, 2010,
Around 19:30 EST, I have anticipated to watch the
Women’s Hockey Gold Medal match
between Canada and the United States.
I have been waiting for this game all that day.
With Glowing Hearts!
I have been busy these past few weeks,
with my Birthday trip to Ottawa,
and seeing all my wonderful family and friends, (not to mention how they contributed
to the massive weight gain I have accumulated)
I have not written anything about my favorite Sports event.
The 2010 Winter Olympics.
I know I am so late with this,
But I just got the chance to write this,
right after Canada conquered Russia in Men’s Hockey,
and I am allowing my vocal cords to recover.
I should have updated my site days ago,
But as I have said before, and it is no secret here,
that when the Olympics are on,
I am useless to be around! All I do is watch it.
I am pretty much as useless as a fart in a Jacuzzi!
What? Too gross?
Okay, how about as useless as a belt on a plumber?
No? Still too obscene?
As useless as Tiger Woods’ apology?
Too insensitive?
Well, too bad. I am sticking with that!
I am ending this and take a shower.
I haven’t bathed since we lost to the US in the quarterfinals.
The cat won’t lick me anymore.
GO CANADA GO!!
Thank you!
I would like to thank everyone who remembered.
You are all cherished.
*A little story about this cake.
We went to the Merlot Revolving Restaurant in Ottawa,
and my son whispered to the server,
“It’s my Dad’s Birthday today. Can you do something for him?”
The guy said, “I’ll take care of it.”
And a couple of minutes later,
here comes my birthday slice.
Sweet kid, huh?
So I gave him the cake after he helped me blow the candle.
Click HERE for pic.
It truly was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had.
Thank you so much.
And a Happy Valentines to all.
Almost there
Almost there!!!
Well this is really not our flight.
But it’s the only Canada thing I can see here in Newark.
It’s pretty warm around here and quiet considering there was a snow storm yesterday.
No delays so far.
Nice!!
Vacation time is about to commence!
And I will start it at the hockey game tonight!
Woohoo!!
UPDATE:
I just jinxed that.
The Ottawa flight is delayed for an hour.
Damnit.
UPDATE 2:
Now the gate has been changed.
Damn it!!!
New Song Added – Fallin’
Actually it’s not really new.
I made this one way back in 2006.
There were a couple of songs that I tried to record with mostly just the piano.
The piano has that soft, mellow feel that I cannot get quite right on the guitar.
So if you would allow me to be a little sentimental,
emotional, temperamental
and maybe just a little bit accidental,
I present you this cover I made.
And since it’s the month of February, “The Month of (Nutjobs) (Weirdos) Love,”
I think I am allowed to be.
(I have no idea what I just said.)
Here is
Fallin’
Music by – Teri De Sario
Voice and all instruments by – Ty Martell
I give up!
It is a known fact how much I adore and idolize
But on this G3 tour,
with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci,
while they were jamming on Always With Me, Always With You,
the clip between 1:09 and 1:37,
is probably one of the best riff phrasing I have ever heard from him.
It’s simple, but it Rocks!
I give up.
I am going to destroy my guitars!
I will never be able to do that!
This jam is so freakin’ awesome,
it makes you wanna slap your momma!
Twice!!
