Bro Time

Dear Bloggers,

In this horrible economy that grinds our gears day in and day out nowadays, how's a bro supposed to get ahead? Well if you know the answer comment on this post, because I've been searching for that my whole life. Please don't suggest selling drugs or prostitution, although they are time tested no work jobs, they really aren't my slices of pie, and I don't feel like spending anytime in jail.

Today was possibly a turning point for me. I came to a realization while I was serving a table of six typical southerners that I just don't care that their bun was touching a pickle and they specifically asked for no pickle. I don't care that they wanted mashed potatoes as a side order. I don't FUCKING care! Don't get me wrong, I know we all have bad days; I've had quite a few. Serving tables is not my passion by any means. Honestly, I know what I could be doing for the rest of my life if someone only gave me the chance. I want to be on a film set. If I could get paid to work on a film set, doing anything, I would be happy. I don't want to get coffee for someone, but if that's what I have to do to get ahead I will but only to get ahead, because that still falls into the "serving others" category that I loathe so much.

That's my gripe. Let me know if you have any comments, by commenting...

Good day America

Bro Time

Well it's been awhile, but Bro Time is back with another gripping tale of victory, greedy screen actors, and the crowning of a life lost.

Let me first begin with the gripping tale of victory, as the Steelers played host to their longtime rivals the Dallas Cowboys. These two teams have squared off in the Super Bowl 3 times, Pittsburgh having the upperhand 2-1. The game began slow, as far as offense goes. At the half the teams were tied at 3. Then Dallas finds a way to get ahead 13-3 in the third quarter, but the Steelers used momentum from the defense to eventually grind out a touchdown, and within 24 seconds of gameplay the defense intercepted and ran it in for a second touchdown that went on to seal the win for them, making their record 10-3.

The Screen Actors Guild is calling all members together to decide if they want to go on strike when their current contract expires with Hollywood moguls. One problem with the SAG's plan to strike is the major issue of the economy. How can the Screen Actors ask for better contracts when the economy is in shambles? If they do decide to go on strike, it would be before the Academy Awards on February 22nd, so that the strike would disrupt the event. Many SAG members have publicly criticized the Guild for asking so much, including Danny Devito, Rhea Perlman, and former SAG prexy Richard Masur.

Down under, the Australian Film Institute bestowed the late Heath Ledger with the international award for actor. His work in The Dark Knight, out this Tuesday on DVD, won him the award. Heath is expected to be up for Best Actor at the Academy Awards in February. I watched the film about a week ago and I'm still amazed at how talented of an actor he was. I wish I could have been on set to see him between takes staying in character. I'm not even a real fan of Batman movies, comic books and stuff kinda bore me, but The Dark Knight wasn't even a batman movie, the show was stolen by Heath Ledger who created one of the most terrifying creatures in recent film history with his role.

That's it for Bro Time, Balls yeah!

Hello Bloggers,

Greetings from the City of Steel. The City of Three Rivers. The city that puts the "Iron" in Iron City Beer. The City of Champions (that includes 5 Super Bowl rings Go Steelers, 5 World Series titles Go Buccos, and 2 Stanley Cups Go Pens). The City that never sleeps (during a Steelers game). You guessed it, I'm in Pittsburgh, PA right now baby and it's all good baby babbaaayyy! In my very first night back in the burgh I visited a close friend of mine with some other friends dahn in Oahklind. (I am writing this in true Pittsburghese so you get the full effect). We watched some Monday Night Football and drank some shit, yinz know what I'm talkin bout. I was drinking Old Crow that me and my buddy Karas brought back from Virginia. We were in Fredericksburg(h) for a few days and got back Monday night. Good shit. We then proceeded to order some pizza that I insisted had to have bacon on it. Worst decision I've made in a long time. It turns aht that my stomach doesn't handle Old Crow and bacon covered pizza very well. Lets just say that while dropping Eamonn off at home Karas had to wait while I fucking threw up aht of the car. In other news, Brady Quinn (quarterback of the Cleveland Browns) finally is declared out for the rest of the season for being such a bitch. If you want to talk about fabulous, just mention Brady Quinn's history of injuries in the NFL. Through two NFL starts, he's been injurder twice. I think he just didn't want to play the Steelers at the end of the season. He knew James Harrison wouldn't have left him breathing. Well, it's almost 4 am I should get to sleep sometime in the next hour. I'll let yinz know how the burgh is, probably with a video or something.

Goodnight America.

Dear Bloggers,

Tonight the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Cincinnati Bengals for a Thursday night NFL Network game. Personally I hate NFL Network for doing this, b/c a majority of people do not have NFL Network. Besides the fact that the Steelers are going to win this one by about 70 points, I think its just a given that this method needs some amending. But that's not why I'm blogging, believe it or not. I will be driving home for Thanksgiving this weekend, as I'm sure a majority of Americans will be doing this weekend. I just want to say have safe travels and eat some turkey. I will be going home to a great group of friends that I haven't exactly stayed in touch with as well as I hoped I would have when I left for school three years ago. A psycho ex-girlfriend that I haven't talked to in months will also be there, but hopefully I won't be forced to be put in that horribly awful presence. Bro's you know what I'm talking about, only multiply the psycho factor by about 100x. When a girl starts making fake facebook profiles to find out what you're doing at school, that's when you need to stop talking to them (that's all I'm saying). Most importantly though, I'll be going home to see my family. My actual Bro will be getting home from his first semester at the University of Vermont. I'm excited to see him and how he's doing and also my big sister. Family is the most important thing you can have, especially around the holidays. This will be the first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my grandma. She passed away this past March, when I found out just how strong a family can be, and how important it is to be close to those with which you share blood. Every Thanksgiving she would make her homemade spaghetti, because she didn't like turkey. I would always have a side of spaghetti and also her lemon merangue pie, which she made especially for me. I'll miss her more than I can imagine right now when I'm at home that night with my family. She was a warm presense that lit up the room with her smile. Below is a picture from my high school graduation with my grandma and grandpa. Don't take for granted the time you spend with your family, because you never know when you're going to pray for just another minute with someone.

Good day America.

Hello bloggers,

It's almost 3:00 AM and I've been up all night doing homework. I'm exhausted. But I did just manage to fit in some time to watch the latest installment of HBO's Entourage. It gave me some perspective on Bros. Turtle is confronted with a choice of continuing his renewed relationship with Jamie Lynn Sigler, or to go spend time with his three bros after Vince's project got shut down. Turtle chose his bros. And it shows that in the long run bros always goes before hoes. I suppose most guys in his situation would have chose his bros. In other news, The Pittsburgh Steelers have regained control of the AFC North with a home win against the San Diego Chargers. The final score was 10-11 Pittsburgh, and this marked the first ever regular season game in Professional football history that the final score of a game was 10-11. Let me just say that the referees had it out for us from the start of the game. They called over 10 penalties for over 100 yards against us, and we still won. Willie Parker had a 100-yard game after a 5 weeks of sitting on the sidelines. Brett Keisel had a sack. James Harrison and Troy Polamalu both had interceptions. It was just a great game to watch. Before I go, I want to give a shout out to a bro of mine from not only another mother, but another species. Deisel (Deisel Corleone, officially) is a dog that belongs to a friend of mine. We recently got in an arguement and she might have felt upset by the whole thing, and maybe isolated because she was angering some other people. I just want to say that respect comes when it is recieved. The picture I put in this post is of me, Deisel, and my friend. I hope we can get past this, for the sake of brohood.

Good night America.

Here are some other pictures of Deisel.

Its Bro Time...Apparently

.:Bro Time:.

So we've collectively decided that we're going to need some Bro"ness" in this blog. I'm sure our straight males out there are thinking...

Huh?

Yup, how can straight males or anyone for that matter benefit from fabulosity?

Dan the man is going to tell us just that...

from sports updates (we're thinking we're going to be hearing a lot about the Steelers) to movies and to his point of view on many other things,

Don't worry he's promised to keep it fabulous...right Dan?
