I know it's not the original, but you get the point. I love that song still..
Anyway, I pretty much took the summer off from blogging. I'm sorry, but I was actually pretty busy and fact of the matter was I didn't have much too blog about. I didn't really do anything interesting this summer. I mean how many times can you write: So this week I worked out, worked at the gym all day and then went to whiskey priest on saturday night.(I knew I would be going to that place a lot). We had my sister's wedding which I last blogged about and that was really about it. Well it is hockey season again which means a lot of time spent in front of the computer, which hopefully will lead to a more consistent blogging effort.
To update my status to everyone I am sitting in a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas where I am at training camp for the San Antonio Rampage. After training camp here ends, I will be heading to a small city in Nevada you may of heard of, Las Vegas. I've heard it's a decent tourist attraction, supposedly there is one road with a few shops and restaurants on it, I don't really know, but I'm sure I'll find out when I get there.
The team is the Las Vegas Wranglers, which is the ECHL affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes. The San Antonio Rampage is the AHL affiliate and then Las Vegas. This will be a new experience for me as I have never really been on the west coast. Ryan "Wild Bill" Weston will be with me so I have a partner in crime out there. (all good crime obviously). I am looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead.So as I said I was pretty busy this summer which meant not a lot of TV time for me, but I did happen to catch this season of Entourage. Well I'll just say dissapointed is a bit of an understatement. In previous seasons all I could think about after watching an episode was, "wow, I want to go party right now, that was awesome!" This season after every episode I was saying "Sasha sucks and so does Vince" She ruined VInce and she ruined the season. Usually the season finale would tie up some loose ends and make everything ok again right. Well not so fast my friends. It was a terrible ending. I heard they are making an Entourage movie and what better way to hype up the movie then to end the last season with a huge dump. I just don't get it. I digress. I guess when I'm the creator of one of the best shows ever on tv I can end the season how I want. I'm just looking forward to the new season of East Bound and Down. If you haven't heard of Kenny Powers, please minimize my page (but don't forget to come back and read the rest), go to YouTube and watch clips from the show. You will not be dissapointed. Here is an example: (warning language NSFW)
To be honest, I actually did get to do something pretty cool recently. My sister Kelly scored two tickets to the World Premiere of Wall Street in NYC. It was a pretty cool event. We showed up and got our tickets and saw some celebs walked the red carpet. I thought we were going to get to walk the red carpet ourselves but unfortunately we didn't. We walked down some JV red carpet. What a letdown. I'm not sure what I would do though if I was actually walking down the red carpet you see on TV. I definitely would've done one of three things: 1. Walk/Sprint down the carpet hysterically laughing the whole time. 2. Stopped and posed for pictures that no one was taking and answered questions for an interview that no one was giving. 3. Threw up all over the place. That would've made E! News for sure. So we are in the theater and I'm looking around seeing who is in there/trying to get noticed. I saw Tyra Banks and she was tall. I think she is quite attractive as well, but not sure I like her whole snap your fingers in my face attitude. We were shuffled to our seats and continued to scope the audience for some celebs, which wasnt easy because they put all the peasants together and all the celebs far away from them. I got to see a few, but I was more excited to see the movie. This was the funniest part of the night. The movie comes on and everyone starts clapping. OK that's fine, we're all excited for the show to start. Then the maiin characters appear in the opening credits, and more applause. Ok, I understand. More characters, more credits, more applause.
Ok I get it. It starts to get annoying when they applause for the guy who got the coffee for the director Oliver Stone. Movie ends, it was great. We then head to a reception with an unral spread and open bar. Kelly and I sit and have a cocktail and indulge in some delicious finger foods. We some more celebs, like Spike Lee. That guys to me is the definition of swagger. Just ooozes confidence. It was awesome. Other than that we headed home after a nice evening. We didn't get to talk to any celebs or anything, but that's cool. It was nice of Kelly to invite me. She probably just needed me for some arm Candy. PS Good thing my main man and newly engaged Kevin Kielt, ordered the original Wall Street on demand for us so I knew what was going on. Thanks Killer!
For those of you who don't know this is my buddy Matt Lowell. SICK Musician. Listen to this little jamboni he's got. And check out the rest of his stuff as well. He's legit.
A quick anecdote: My Mother and I were eating a lovely dinner at Applebees cause we wanted to eat good in the neighborhood. And my mom loves that place. So we were enjoying a 2 for 20$ meal(Really a good deal actually), when I made a comment about the group of high school girls from my alma mater, St. Anthony's, sitting behind me:
Kevin: I wonder what crowd these girls are a part of in HS. Like the IN crowd or the nerdy crowd or just the average crowd, ya know the group that is friends with everyone but they arent the cool kids.
Mom: Well I bet they are in the IN crowd cause the girl I'm looking at is gorgeous! She might me a little young for you though Kevin. Too bad.
Well she wasn't really my type anyway. The search continues...
Well I think that's it for now...Feels good to be back. Keep the comments on facebook coming. (Only good ones please, not that there is anything bad to say about my blog) Tell me what you want me to hear or suggestions. HELP ME, HELP YOU! What movie?
Take Care comb your hair and drink your milk and take your vitamins, and knowing is half the battle!
