Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today.
Hey torontomike.com, I actually work with your brother Ryan, and he's turned me on to your fantabolous website, for amongst other things, Homer's Quote of the Week. A few things here. One previous blog you had posted was about 'wrasslin, and how it was good as a lad. I concur, to relive those days, checkout www.wrestlecrap.com. It's a hoot!
But, on for my blog. As mentioned I work with your brother in 'The Saug, and living in Hamilton. It really makes me wonder how Mississauga/Toronto people sleep at night. Does nobody east of Oakville hold doors open for others, or for that matter, thank other people when a door is held open for them? Someone who lives in Toronto rationalized it to me something like this...."Toronto is so busy and populated that we don't have enough time in the day to thank all the people who hold doors open for us" Do GTA'ers go through more doors in a day than anyone else? Conceited perhaps? Just because you live in the BIG CITY, it doesn't mean that you have to have the BIG ATTITUDE either. A little common courtesy goes a long way Toronto!
Great Job Mike, keep it up!

On behalf of all Torontonians, I would like to thank you for broadly stroking us with that big ol' Hamiltonian brush of yours. I hold doors for people all the time and they almost always thank me. At the very least I get a smile and wave, and that's really all I'm looking for. Since we're generalizing here, might I suggest that you're suffering from a form of penis envy. This is a common trait among people who live in smaller cities in close proximity to a megacity such as Toronto. You feel a need to criticize us as a whole in order to make yourself and your little city feel bigger and better. It's textbook.
I don't blame you, Mark. You've said some nice things about my site and I appreciate it. Just remember what Blur says, "There must be more to life than stereotypes".
