Here are the 3 things about it I found most enjoyable and noteworthy.
Oh, and of course, magical.
Starting off at Number 3.
3. -The "Yogurt" -
It's no word of a lie. This yogurt is so flippin magical it blows the minds of many.
What started off as a spoonful of yogurt, it made myself, and fellow intern Kevin Chan enter a state in which couldn't be explained. This yogurt has the powerful potential to make any individual enter a state of laughter and a high even the freshest and most sustained chronic couldn't do.
Activia Peach Yogurt is it's name, and don't stare at it too long, or some lasting effects could wear off on you. I don't really know how much else to say it, it's magical.
Laughing from nothing, for what seemed to be hours, this "magical" yogurt will do you wonders if you suffer from harsh anger or need a lightening up.
- Also is effective for those in a dead end job who need a Vacation when they can't get one.
For the cheap price of $ 2. 49, what isn't to love?
Join the movement, buy Activia yogurt today.
- Moving on to number two, a man with the power of 1000 horses, and a homecoming that sill haunts me.
2. - Jose Bautista, Roy Halladay and the fans in the city of Toronto -
This past week, the Philadelphia Phillies rolled in to Toronto for a 3 game set against the Blue Jays. If your a fan like myself, or a die hard fan at that, you knew this was one series you would not want to miss. The long, long awaited return of the Doc, Roy Halladay.
Game 2 of the series featured Roy's pitching styling's and when he took the mound at the top of the first inning, the applause and standing ovation, was truly magical. More magical then that yogurt listed above.
The fans of Toronto stood for just over 2 minutes and applauded the pitcher who was arguably the most influential Blue Jay when he was with the team from 1998 - 2009. It was classy. Give yourselves a pad on the back Toronto.
The two time Cy Young pitcher was pitching an outstanding game when Jose Bautista came up to the plate. The score 1 - 0 for the Phils was quickly changed by easily the league's best player.
Bautista smashed one off of Window's Restaraunt way out in the middle of Center Field and Roy couldn't even think to watch it fly. The most anticipated match up that every fan in Baseball had been waiting for through out the whole season of Baseball, was finally complete. Bautista walked away the victor.
As soon as it was hit, the crowd, 45, 000+, a number Toronto fans have not seen in the longest of times, raised to their feet, and roared with cheer. It was a spectacle, and a moment I will not be forgetting in the near future.

Bautista who lead the Majors with 7.4 + million All Star Votes this year, the most any player has ever received, has been on absolute tear and is looking to break every major league record this year. He hit 6 home runs this past week, 2 which were game winners, and he gets a special prize this week..
This prize goes to somebody, or something, which has truly, truly blown my mind.
Congratulations Jose, you make this country, and my mind, very... Proud.
^YES that is in fact my mind, being blown into many kadunklings.
As for that grand finale to close out number 2 this week, we move onto numero uno.
1. - Dan Mangan -
Vancouver recently celebrated its 125th Birthday this past weekend by having a weekend long hurrah of events going down at Stanley Park. Many free games and contests, concerts, and sport training opportunities, it was sure to be a somewhat decent weekend. Now, when you think of free concerts, you usually think of bands that are up and coming, that nobody knows, that will put on a mediocre performance, and leave the audience feeling decently entertained by the outing.
This was not the case Sunday night.
Headlining on the main stage, as the final performer of the weekend, Dan Mangan took on a crowd of 5, 000+ ready to hear what he had to offer. Starting at 10:00pm, which is absolutely unheard of, Dan took the crowd and woo'd them with his soft indie style tunes and made them jump at others with his intense up beat songs. So many people at this concert had no idea who Dan was when it started, but when they left, they sure knew the name Dan would stick with them for quite a long time.
Free concerts are nice.
But this was incredible.
Putting on a performance like he did, Dan's concert is quite easily the best performance I have ever seen. The location was perfect, the whole event was well done, staff were amazing, and the music was absolutely incredible.
There were also massive light up balls being bounced around in the crowd, and there wasn't a massive haze of marijuana floating in the air like you find at most outdoor concerts. Although I am a little biased because I think Dan's music is ridiculously good, this was still, and will be for a while, the best concert I've ever seen. But hey, this is my Blog, what I say GOES.
In a night which included Mayor Gregor Robertson and Danny singing Happy Birthday to Vancouver, a man dressed as a Robot take the stage, and easily the best finale a concert could ever ask for, this night was also magical beyond its realm of belief. A magical week if you will, was concluded perfectly by this concert.
If you ever get the chance, I highly, highly advise you go see Dan if you can, or go check out his music.
"Robots need love too."
His talent needs to be shared with you.
And as these three occurrences, and completely different things happened this week, this is what made my last seven days, as amazing, mind blowing, and as magical as it was.
- Now go read something that actually matters.
