The Return--- the sequel..and marriage
So looking down at the previous posts I noticed that I already had a post dedicated to being “back.”  Well now I guess there are two.   After another hiatus from the blog and from writing in general, I noticed that my writing goes in spurts based on how my life is going.  NOT GOOD. This past year 2012 has been a bit of a mini roller coaster, however there were very few ups.  As I look...

Guess who's back..the ball buster..and his...
Well, it’s been a long time since I last blogged on here but I am trying to jump start the writing process again and have been feeling good lately.  Over the past 6 months or so it seems I lost sight of certain things that I wanted to do or accomplish.  I shouldn’t say lost sight, more like back-burnered the goals I had in life.  The good news is I think I have most of that out of my...

I like holding a grudge.... and you should too
Now before you go off and write me off as a sick an demented person again, i think all of you only wish you had clarity like me.   Unfortunately, I have been both blessed and cursed with the ability to remember almost all of a persons actions actions that has any bearing on my life.  That’s not to say I don’t forget the occasional drunken night out, however if something made an impact...

Welcome Back Pete.....
Well, its been a few months.  True, I have been gone from the world of writing, but I now plan on returning with a bang focused on world domination. In the past few months to sum up, I have experienced new highs and new lows in my life.  I suppose that took away the motivation from the keyboard.  I received my degree in the mail and was given it by my parents in a lovely frame, which left me...

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS? why?
There’s something that has always bothered me; what else is new right?  When people say “respect your elders.”  Why must we do that? To me it seems its because we feel sorry for them…  because they are old and frail? Cuz they lived a long life? ok, but for the most part, does that warrant respect…we should all strive to live a long healthy life…. I return to 7th...

I ran a marathon, I'm a big LOSER!!!! READ PEOPLE
Yep…once again i said it!!!  Now that I got the attention of everyone, including hopefully some friends that have previously taken part in a 26.2 mile epic journey of selfishness, I will gladly explain.  HA! Every year I am reminded of how I hate ColumbusT Day and everything that goes with it.  Christopher himself as well as the running of the Chicago marathon.  I lived right along the...

OPRAH is the DEVIL
Now I’m sure i will probably have one of Oprah’s minions come down and swing the mighty sword to delete this post, however I don’t think I am that famous and recognizable yet for her to care. I think Ill make this post short and straight to the point.  Do any of you think that one person should possess the power that she inevitably has?  Im not sure on all the details of the...

BEARS RULE, Fantasy Football is GAY and Oprah is...
And by GAY, I mean in the South Park way where Gay means bad.  Not in any negative homosexual way.  But if it gets the point across, well then take it anyway you want. Here’s a scenario:  You are at a bar enjoying the Bears game. Friends are around, beer is flowing, and #54’s a plenty.  Well the Bears are losing, and playing horrible. They are down 20 points, but somehow the defense...

College Kids, tipping, midgets and swamp people!!!
Some heading right? Well let’s just dive right in.  We are in a recession, this I know.  I moonlight as a bartender, and just because you are in college (like me, ha) DOES NOT mean you are exempt from tipping the bartender!!!! Even when i was a legit college student, i had a few bucks extra to give the bartender for THEIR SERVICE!!! Never in my 31 years have i seen a bigger epidemic than...

Men are WRITE 99% of the time
Ok, maybe not that much, but pretty close…. here’s a story for you that has sort of a funny ending. The other day, the Bear and I (my gf) are taking a stroll when she asks the question: BEAR-“you are wearing those shorts again. Don’t you think it’s time to wash them?” PETE-“ummmm no…I’ve worn them only like 5 times since the last load of...

Ode to homework and strippers!!!
To clear up any confusion, I am not purposely discussing rather R-rated topics to seem “daring” or on the “edge.” Most of the time this is the mindset I have, which leads to NUMEROUS friends telling me, “get your mind out of the gutter.”  Well, here’s something to think about that I’ve been saying for years. MEN: You will get straight A’s if...

....And in the beginning, Pete created success
Well, I started a blog people. But I prefer to look at it more as me thinking out loud and sharing it with all of you to read.  I’ve been told all the typical narcissistic compliments like, “you are so full of yourself” or “whoa! you got a big head” or my favorite, “WOW, you really love yourself!” To all those people, BLAH! I don’t care.  If you...
