It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

The holiday season has arrived. Decorations are out, people are shopping hardcore and multiple Santa's are posted up around the city taking my gotdamn loose change. This is the best time of year because everyone seems to be in a much lighter mood. It’s also great to see people out buying things again so it’s visible the economy is picking up. This year will be different than previous ones because I usually would go away for a few days (PSU bowl game) but I’m kickin it local this year.

I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was superb. Mine was pretty relaxing, I cooked for myself and then ate ALL the leftovers a friend and my mother brought for me. After gaining 10-15 pounds I woke up on Friday morning with a gotdamn ear infection. My right ear closed up and Im pretty much deaf on that side. I ran over to a local clinic and got checked out and got some prescribed medications. It’s now feeling a little bit better but I’ve repeated the word “Huh” over 1,300 times the last 4 days.

Anyway, this week (Tuesday 11/30) will be my foist time going to the Christmas Tree lighting in Rockefeller so that should be exciting. I’ve always wanted to see it in person since Home Alone 2. Apparently it gets pretty intense with the crowd and NBC production taking place so we’ll have to get there early. I will most likely have my camera on hand so pictures will be posted from the evening festivities.

My next blog will talk about how November is always my most hideous month of the year every year for me. It may get a little graphic so brace yo’ selfs.

Weekend Update

How’s everyone doing this Friday? I was having a very good and productive day until BOOM! I hit a mental wall. It could probably be because I was on the phone with a college roommate last night/this morning while watching Batman & Robin and commenting on every corny line of dialogue but who knows. SO you’re probably wondering what’s on tap for the Big Guy’s weekend, ooo you don’t care? I am gonna tell you anyways (i’m in a great mood as most of you can tell already) this evening I’ll be attending the Coaches vs. Cancer basketball tournament at MSG with a fellow bro and we’ll be watching Pitt vs Texas, should be interesting. My only concern is will they be serving alcohol during a college event? only time will tell...Afterwards probably a typical night out on the town for a little bit then home to watch my Avatar Uncut DVD.

Saturday will be a Solo Brolo one as I have set up my normal massage appointment along with a FAT breakfast at 7A before the PSU 12pm kick-off. I was actually on the brink of going to the game but there were too many things that needed to be done before departure and I wasn’t up for that rush since i’m all old now. I'll watch the game with Frenzy Benz & a nice mini keg of Heineken.

Sunday Funday is typical of course...Jets vs. Texans game followed by a possible movie (Due Date) then a whole new lineup of Animation Domination. The weather is looking good for all three days so that’s always a positive.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend and if you see me around say HIIIIII

Now Back To Me

It has been WAY too long. Seriously, two months and no blog updates is completely unacceptable on my part. I am truly sorry for that. Lets just cut to the chase and get you updated on these past 60 something days...i’ve worked on two films and got the opportunity to learn a lot on both sets. It was an awesome experience and a great way to progress in my filmmaking technique. The first film “The Other Soldier” and the second “In The Family”. I was at Penn State for the Michigan game and had my first encounter with Four Loko which will never happen again. I saw a friend of mine perform at the Joyce Theater in an off Broadway play. I also got myself back to the gym and attended a night club to dance with $9 beers in hand. A lot has been going on BUT now it’s back to me. Back in the office now & off the radar (for the most part) but feeling more confident in my work so that will help me move forward. I will try to have updates on liiiiife at least once a week. I will get in another update on Friday and find a random topic to chat about. All is well over here and I hope all of you readers are doing great also.

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.

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.
