I Made It!



Well well well, I made it through the month of August without drinking a single sip of beer. The challenge was pretty much useless but I like to do things out of the ordinary and this was something I didn't think I could do BUT I did it. The hardest part of the challenge was being down in Miami and only drinking liquor. I figured i’d give up as early as two weeks through but I stuck it out and i’m proud.
Last month I felt like I had a lot more energy and more refreshed every morning. Sleeping came a little easier but who knows if it was more of a mental thing or a health factor. Well this quick little blip was to let everyone know I made it 31 days without having my beloved brewskies. Now it’s back to beer with meals for the most part but I won’t be going overboard anymore on this high calorie drinks.

K BYEEEEE

Bros Take MIAMI


Hello everyone, I am back and peeling like a gotdamn orange right now. I had to sit down and actually re-cap what I was going to say in this blog. This was the first time I did a thorough run through of the weekend before updating. OK, so most of you know I spent the past weekend in Miami, FL. Of course people will say “it must have been fun” or “you got a lot of color” etc etc. Honestly there are no words to describe how brotacular this weekend was. Instead of saying how I feel about it, i’ll just break down play by play & day by day so you can decide a word or a phrase that can describe the type of raging that went down.

Day #1 We get to the hotel a little early and told Fontainbleu we wanted an early check in. Clearly our rooms weren't ready just yet so we went in the pool for a few hours. On the second attempt they had one of our rooms ready so we went up and BOOM the room reservation was all wrong. It wasn’t connecting nor was it a double. You can’t have bro’s sharing beds cause thats a no-no. Immediately one of the Bro’s went down to the front desk to complain about the mix up and five minutes later we’re in Penthouse suites for the entire weekend.

Day #2 I had posted a picture on facebook (as I always do) from our hotel room and it was easily recognizable to past visitors what hotel we were staying at. Moments later I receive a notification from a comment on the pic and one of my former teammates had said he knew people in the South Beach area. It’s always great to know people. ANYWAY, when asking around about where to go for nightliiiife every single person we talked to was saying “you have to go to LIV, it’s the best club in Miami”. My former teammate who commented on the pic knew one of the staff members that worked at LIV and he made a few arrangements to get us in...great. Here’s the awesome part, we get to the lobby of our hotel and it’s swamped with the most attractive people in the gotdamn world in one place. With a little alcohol flowing in the system we cut our way to the front of the massive crowd and called out a name of a person I’ve never met and BOOM the gates go up and the Bros enter the club with no fee and head straight for the VIP section with such company as Will I Am & Travis McCoy and many others and on top of that we receive ten free drinks and raged on the dance floor all night.

Day #3 On an amazing beach day the Bros en-route to the waterfront while recapping the previous night. We were not aware that the Saturday pool party is amongst the top events that take place in the entire city. As soon as the music kicks off in the mini pool (Power, Kanye West) we make our way over and begin the Bro rage in the pool. Drinks and camera were at hand for the action and the music was off the chains. By 3pm I was in full out Bro mode and felt the confidence to head over to the dj booth and spin a little bit. DJ Jay Sample was at the tables and welcomed me in the booth while he played the Power remix which made me and the fellows pretty much the liiiiife of the party. On top of that the Miami Dolphins 1st round pick AND my former teammate showed face briefly so that put icing on the cake.

Day #4 Closing out the best vacation i’ve ever taken we had a lot of photos and footage of the four days so me being the cool director that I am I’m going to put together a short film called “Bros being Bros: Miami” and watch it with the original cast and other while pre-gaming for the PSU vs Bama game on Sep. 11th.

Ending my longest blog ever I want to say that the weekend was absolutely amazing but could turn out to be the worst thing ever ONLY because at age 24 I may have maxed out the fun meter of any vacation that will take place in my future. Wow my fingers are tired...next blog i’ll tell you all about how I made it through my month without beahz.

K BYEEEEEE
