December Update

Yehhhewlowwwwwww! (Does that make any sense?)

Again...I know it's been some time sine I've blogged, but things have gotten kinda crazy since I moved back home. Although my job at Excelsior doesn't require a lot of energy, I am using that time to apply for jobs, edit my resume and cover letters, network online, e-mail everyone I know....and MORE!!!

When I get home, I either help make dinner or go work out. I have such an interesting life! Ha... I've also been to the doctor and dentist already, because I wanted to make sure I fit that in before my health insurance runs out. I got my two referrals and I'm on my way to exhausting the last months of being insured...

Oh yeah. Something is going to be leaving me soon. Can you guess what it is? Lets just say shaving is going to be much easier now...ha.

Anywayssssss...I actually just got my first interview offer for this week and it went really well! In fact, they liked me so much that the HR woman e-mailed me TWO HOURS after to invite me for another round with the VP of Affiliate Ad Sales & Marketing. Big stuff, huh?! :-) I'm getting pumped!

I think that's it for now. I just had a delicious sandwich, but now I want a cookie. Can any of you bring me one? K. Thanks!

Back to work.

Hey Guys. I'm sorry that it has been a while since I've updated...but I moved back home, making some mucho dinero. Although the job has nothing to do with my degree, it's a very easy way to earn some cash while I'm doing my full-time job search.

I'm now a full-time (temporary) secretary. Ha. The most educated secretary I know. But I am extremely happy that I have a job that I can continue to apply for some jobs.

Allllllll done!

Ok. Finally. I finished my MBA program @ RIT. Although my degree hasn't been conferred yet, I am unofficially done! Almost two years of stress and hard work finally pays off.

I'm all edumacated and stuffffffffff....Mmmmhmmm.

Now to find a job...fun fun.

...almost done.

I just finished my LAST case analysis EVER! After tonight's class...I will be done with my MBA!!!

Now I'll become a "real" person. Ha...like that will ever happen.

Triscuits.

Am I just really perverted...or does this make anyone else wonder if they're really talking about this kind of box....

hmmmm...tricky.

Edges in Albany!

Hey there kids! I really need to share these amazing videos with you. Remember my last video blog (when I was back in Albany)? Welllllllll...while I was there, I managed to go see Edges, which was written by two very talented guys from the University of Michigan, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. Yay, Edges!

ANYWAYS...there are three public videos posted that you NEED to watch.

"Perfect" performed by Whitney Bashor


"Monticello" performed by Steven Booth


"Coasting" performed by Steven Booth, Whitney Bashor & Farah Alvin

Ok. I was SO thrilled when I got to see this show...but now that I get to relive some of these moments over and over again is even better!

Enough of me gushing. Back to my last week of school. ever.

Rainy night.

Have you ever had one of those nights where you didn't care if you were getting rained on? I was definitely feeling that way on Monday night when I was leaving the gym.

It was around 9:30pm, dark, cold and pouring rain. I was still very warm from running so I was wearing a t-shirt. As the rain was hitting my face, it almost made me feel more alive.

I don't know--it's hard to explain.

I can get in these moods where I just want to experience the elements of life without worrying about things. I over-think almost everything and sometimes it's just nice to let go.

As I was walking through the downpour, into the parking lot, I was listening to this song.

It may not seem that interesting to you. But for at least one moment...I was calm.

My Random Life - Video Blog #5

This is one of the strangest video's I've made yet...but I hope it's still interesting! There really is no order...just stuff. Hope you enjoy it! :-)

Oldies...but goodies.

I was browsing through some of my old pictures and came across some interesting ones. I think you will enjoy!


I think I have an anger management problem...



This is my friend Liz...who I haven't really talked to in a while, but we had some funtimes @ Six Flags New England.



We're soooooooooo superheros!!! :-P



Ghetto, or just weird? You decide!



I think this was supposed to be "sexy," but its more...disturbing.



Little Mary Sunshine & Drunk Albert?



"Do you know where my Mommy is?"
"No, but here's this lollipop."
"Mmmm, thanks. I love candy from strange men."



This may be my favorite. Check out the little girl in the background. HOTT!

That's all for now folks. I'm working on an EXTRA SPECIAL SUPER AMAZING video blog. But....I should be doing my reading for tonight's class. We'll see which wins out. :-)

Escapa!

Have any of you ever played Escapa?! It's probably one of the best ways to waste time...

Go to: http://members.iinet.net.au/~pontipak/redsquare.html and give it a whirl! It's super fun!

It says if you can get above 18 seconds then you're probably brilliant! What an easy ego booster, huh?

I was thrilled that I ALMOST made it....but then...

BAMMMMMMM...TAKE THAT ESCAPA! Ha.

I'm so easily entertained.

NYC...Again? - Video Blog #4

Yo yo yo!!! It's time for my latest video blog! Jessica and I venture on down to NYC (via car) and run into some craziness. Oh yeah...there's a special guest appearance too! :-)

Get watching!!!


Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think...thanks.

Lesson learned

I'm in an AWFUL mood right now (not much changed, huh?) I decided to go to the gym tonight around 7:30pm. I did my usual thing and when I came back to my locker to retrieve my items and be on my way...the locker door was wide open. All of my stuff was gone.

Shit.

Luckily I was smart enough not to bring in my wallet, but I was dumb enough to NEVER, I mean never lock my locker. So my sweatshirt, running pants and KEYS were gone. Thrilling. I frantically search through the other lockers hoping I misjudged which was mine. No luck.

I ran out to the cage (that's RIT talk ;-) and asked them if anyone had returned some keys or lost clothing. No luck again. They seemed less than worried and advised me to "look around in the locker room some more."

After I decided to throw in the towel and admit that it had all been stolen, I ventured over to the library. At this time, I had no access to my car, cell phone or wallet. I couldn't call anyone, drive anywhere or take the bus...because I had no money.

I go on every single communication system I know; Gmail, Meebo, Facebook, MySpace, etc. I search out ANYONE who could help me. Eventually, I got hold of my friend Mark (THANK YOU!!!) and he offers to help me out. He calls my roommate for me--I find a place to stay for a while in Rochester...blah blah. Eventually, Mark picks me up at the bus stop and we drive to my car. We call for the University Police to come break into my car.

Now this was weird. I needed NO identification or proof that this was my car...just a signature. Weird. After about 15 minutes we managed to break into my trusty red mercury sable (vomit). However...it's not like I have keys to drive it or anything! After I retrieve my cell phone and wallet, we venture to Rochester.

Upon arriving in Rochester we find out that my roommate wont be able to be home until 12:30am (it's around 10pm). That wasn't so bad...so I just chilled (did I just say chilled?) at a friends until then. At 12:30am Mike called (THANK YOU!!!) and I finally got in the apartment.

Luckily I have a spare key to my car and Jessica (THANK YOU!!!) is going to give me a ride tomorrow. Hopefully, a locksmith (aka: Wal-Mart or Home Depot) will make a copy of a key that plainly says "DO NOT DUPLICATE." Ha. :-)

Anyways...........things seemed to work out fine, but it was not an enjoyable evening. Especially being outside in shorts all night. Ugh.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeah, my Mobil Speedpass was on my keys--but hopefully my thief isn't out going on a spending spree at Mobil right now. Who knows....they did steal some pretty random and old stuff. Ugh.

Thanks for letting me vent and GOODNIGHT!

PS - Always lock your shit up. Even in Henrietta...theft happens. :-(

Sorry.

I don't really have much to say right now. I'm in a very weird mood, but I felt bad that I haven't blogged about anything in a long time.

Don't worry...I'm alive (not that you thought I was dead or anything).

If I ever get the motivation, I may edit the newest video blog...but we'll see.

Off to bed.

PS - My tub has been clogged since Friday and it's filled with black crap. So, I'm a little less than thrilled about that too.

Taylor the Latte Boy

I was just perusing YouTube and I came across an old favorite of mine....

Movie in My Mind performed by Halland Grossman & Kimiko Glenn (No, I don't know them...ha)

I'll admit that I became a little (stalkerish) fan of Halland's over the summer. But I have a good excuse!!! When I was cast in Seussical with Rochester Children's Theatre, I wanted to see some video clips of it (since I had never seen it) and she had just starred as Gertrude in her High School performance. One thing led to another and I stumbled upon her other videos posted by her dad, Hollysdad. From then on, I can't stop watching/listening to "Movie in My Mind!!!"

Today, I decided to watch some of Kimiko's videos by herself, particularly this one...

Taylor the Latte Boy performed by Kimiko Glenn

Soooooooooooooooo cute, right?! Afterwards, I thought I would stack her up against Kristin Chenowith...

Taylor the Latte Boy performed by Kristin Chenowith

Although Kristin does a miraculous job...it's much different than Kimiko's. Not as cute and innocent (although Kimiko has her moments of sassy-ness). Anyways, I thought I would pay tribute to Kimiko--great job! :-)

That's all. You can go back to your day now.

Megan & Jeff's Wedding - Video Blog #3

This past weekend I went to my friends Megan & Jeff's wedding in Buffalo, NY. We had mucho fun and I finished editing the video blog to go along with last night...
I also have a lot of pictures from the weekend...but they are already on Facebook. However, if you want me to post some highlights along with commentary...let me know. I'd never turn down a request! :-)

Happy viewing!

Liza Minnelli - Video Blog #2

Hey Guys! So, I finally finished editing my second video blog! Phew...that was a long one. It's from earlier this summer when the cast of Seussical got free tickets to a Liza Minnelli concert @ CMAC. Although we really wanted to meet her afterwards and get some pictures...her conductor had just died the night before (sorry...major downer) and she wasn't in the mood to do a meet & greet.

Anyways...I hope you enjoy!


Let me know what you think about my video blogs and comment away!!! Tell me things that you want to see more of too! :-)

iRobot Romba

Ok, so I'm really lame and one weekend I sat around and watched this little vacuum go nutso on my carpeto. (Does that really rhyme?)

Anyways...here is a little video of the funtimes!

I'm working on getting my next video up and running soon...

Welcome to Geneseo!

So...I've been kind of busy lately (I know, weird...right?) and I haven't had much time to blog. However, I have been working on THREE videos. So, hold your horses and get ready to have your socks blown off!!!!

In the meantime, I was doing a Google search of my name (pathetic, i know...but i want to clean the web of my last name before i really start applying for jobs) and I found my own photo albums.

This lovely little flyer was...well, you can tell from the picture. But thought you might enjoy it!

Toodles!

Did I really just say toodles? Kill me.

Devin Guinn

Ok...So Devin was watching my video and this was his comment:

DEVINAGUINN: k do not disturb im watching the baton twirler

I almost died laughing! :-)

Computer Ethics

Hey Guys...so this is gonna be a quickie, but every time I have to read from my Computer Ethics textbook, all I can think about are the lyrics to the RENT song: Santa Fe!!! It makes reading so much more difficult, 'cause all I want to do is sing!

Santa Fe - RENT: The Movie

Specifically.....

COLLINS
I teach computer age philosophy, but my students would rather watch TV.

ANGEL
America

ALL
America!

Mmmhmmm...it's almost as if I'm taking one his classes! Yeah...or not. Ok. I'm going to stop now so I can attempt reading. Have a good one!

Trip to Syracuse

So, I just got done editing my first little video for the blog. I hope you enjoy it! :-)


My First Video Blog

But just in case you don't like videos...here is a breakdown of the weekends' events. On Friday night, Marissa read from her brothers new musical entitled "The Giving Tree."
We also thought it would be a great idea to watch Borat while drinking an entire bottle of wine. It went down like water, weird!
Had some fun with cheese...yes, sliced cheese.

and then called it a night.

We needed our "diva" sleep for the next day. (Ha...bad reference to the pillow. Ok, I'll stop now) We went to the SU game on Saturday...pretty much for no reason. They are probably the worst team I have ever seen! (Sorry...but it's true.) Still, we had fun amusing ourselves. Oh yeah! When we went to get our beers, the lady asked for ID. Of course, I'm confident that I have it in my wallet and I hand it to her, and she says,"this expired two years ago." My stomach dropped. I ALWAYS have my ID. I grab it back...it's my "UNDER 21" ID. UGH....so, I start to freak out b/c I have absolutely no idea where it could be. I start to think we left it at the liquor store the night before...but then I realize that we didn't get carded there. I scramble through my wallet...trying to convince the woman that this never happens to me and that I really am 21. She didn't seem thrilled. FINALLY I find it after showing her that I have about 3 other expired ID's (which is technically illegal to have). Anyways, we got our $5 Mich Lite and moved on with our day.
Theeeeeeeeen, as night time rolled around, we decided to meet up with some of Marissa's friends at a Japanese restaurant for some Sake bombing! :-)
After racking up a bill over $205, we jumped in a cab to head downtown. This is when the profanity begins. Our driver, Jack, decided to hit on Marissa and call all the other girls extremely bad words (I don't even feel comfortable saying it).
As the night continues...things get weirder.


The next morning, Marissa and I are babysitting her cousins, RJ and Dakota. She decided to take this as an opportunity to get a back rub from them.
Afterwards, we were all sitting around watching some T&J (Tom & Jerry for you guys that don't know the lingo), and we were bored. I had noticed in the kitchen that there was a bottle of windex on the counter, and I was thinking I should clean my windows 'cause of all the dead bugs. Apparently, the kids REALLY wanted to clean my windows. So...thats what we did! Ha....weird, I know.
But at least I gave them a little ride in the wagon as a thank you. :-)

After our trip around the block, swing on the play set and some goodbyes...I headed back to Rochester. Although we had some really random things happen, I had a great time! Thanks Marissa! :-)

TGIF

Hello All! I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while...Oops. I guess I'm not really good at this (hence my 3rd attempt at blogging). Anyways, not much has really happened since Tuesday. I had class on Tues. from 6-9:20pm and that was a bust. I'm taking this course called "Legal & Ethical Issues in a Technological Intensive Environment." Doesn't that sound thrilling?! Well...the only reason I'm taking it is to finish up my Technology Management concentration.

BUT, there is ONE class that I actually look forward to going to...Tourism Planning & Development! I mean, honestly...who wouldn't want to take a class about tourism?! :-) My thoughts exactly! Ok...then my last class EVER is Competitive Strategy which is our capstone course. FINALLY.

(Ok, can we talk about the massive use of CAPS?!?!?!)

Enough about school. So, no one ever told me that the Rosie O'Donnell fight w/ Elisabeth on The View was so heated! I knew they had some fight...but come on! I can't believe the producers just let this blow up--unreal.



Although I don't really agree with anything Elisabeth says, Rosie just needs to back off sometimes. She can get a little cRAzY sometimes! Who knew that The View is just a bunch of crazies! (Well...that might be a dumb question.)

Um....hmmm, what else is going on. I'm going to Syracuse this weekend. That should be some funtimes. Going to my first SU game! Woo hoo...SPORTS! You know how much I love me some good ole' fashion sports. Football, baseball...you name it--I'm there! Ha.

I don't know why I'm Asian in this picture...but for all it's worth, I'm PUMPED! Guess that's it for now. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Sponsor the "Run for Robert"

Hey Guys! So, my cousin Karen Piccirillo-Cusato is fundraising for her "Run for Robert" in support of the OAR (Organization for Autism Research). In short, she is a mother of six children, including four quadruplets. One of the quads (Robert) has been diagnosed with a form of autism. Therefore, she is going to be running in the Marine Corps Marathon 2007 - OAR Team on October 28th 2007.

Thanks so much for your support!

George Washington Craziness

So, does anyone else think it is a little nutso for any college tuition to be set above $50K?! Well guess what....George Washington University is raising their tuition 8% for their incoming freshman class to $50,630! (Pause for gasping...)

Yeah, that's what I said.

Apparently, GWU believes in the “spend big, to get big” mentality...but I sort of wonder — is it just money wasted? Although their extravagant Colonial Inauguration (their version of an orientation) seems to be a lot of fun, does it need to cost over $2,500 per minute?!?! Laser light show and all...come on. Is that really going to increase the value of your education?

If you want to continue reading about this bizarre phenomenon, continue reading the article from the Washington City Paper.

Past Weekend

So, as I "blogged" about before (Is that even a real verb?), my friend Jess just passed her NCLEX and had a BBQ. Therefore there was mucho food. When I say mucho food...I MEAN IT! There were burgers, hot dogs, chicken breast, stuffed shells, tortellini salad, garden salad, broccoli salad, chips and veggies....Mmmhmmm.

Days after the party I was going over to her house whenever I had the desire to eat anything because...well...there were enormous amounts of leftovers. And who can pass up free food?!?!

On Saturday we ended the evening watching "Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington.

Deja Vu Trailer

Lets just say that it wasn't anything special. Although it was mildly amusing to yell at the TV for the completely impossible plot of events, I would never recommend it to ANYONE. Ok, apparently I'm really pissed about it. Well, it was fun...just not good in any way.

On Sunday, we decided why not a little wine and Monopoly?!?! Always a good combo, right?

+ =

Megan and I got our asses kicked by Jessica. Just look at this board. I mean...do you notice where all the deeds are?!

Ok, so maybe she didn't have all the deeds at this point, but about 6 of mine were mortgaged and ALL of Megan's were. She also had more money than both of us combined! Hmph. Oh well....you gotta give in to those dirty slumlords sometimes!

Oh yeah, and before all of this...her adorable cat, Princesss and I got aquainted very well. She is such a lap kitty and I LOVE IT! :-)

I don't normally like white cats, but she just loves to be pet and brushed. It's my dream pet. ::sigh::

So, before Heidi (Jess' roomate) left for one of her extravagant weekend parties, she decided to show us her Playgirl. I had no idea these things were so vulgar! Jesus! I mean there are just d*cks everywhere

Nevertheless, Jess gave me one of the quizes and apparently I'm "middle of the road" between dominatrix and submissive. Hmmmmm--Ok?

For a nice "Thank You" to Heidi, I decided to make a little scene on her bed (edited for the weak at heart).

Ok, well I think that's all for now. Damn this whole blogging thing takes forever! Oh...but before you go.

Britney Spears - MTV 2007 VMA: Gimme More

Yeah...I don't think I need to comment much on that. Except, is she serious?!?! Goodnight all! :-)

Guilderland High School?

Ok...so I'm not sure how many of you will actually care or think this is funny. But, my old teachers decided to make a 50's style doo-wop music video. Yes, yes they did. AND then they posted it on YouTube! How nice of Mr. Maycock!

For a little background--I'm from Guilderland, NY. It's a small suburb outside of Albany, NY.

Photobucket" border="0">

We have a lot of awesome stuff going on in Guilderland....

We've got the YMCA!

Crossgates Mall! I mean that alone is pretty awesome, right?!

Hannaford! Woot Woot! (I mean...I worked there for a good 6 years of my life...)

Tawasentha Park! Yeah...it's pretty awesome there. There's even that HUUUUUGE outdoor stage!

Ok....maybe not as huge as I thought...

So, you get the idea. Lets get back to the actual reason for this posting...ha.

"A Little Bit of Soap"

ANNNNNNNNNND when they found out that Mr. Pipa was leaving, they decided to do an encore performance.

"Please, Mr. Pipa."

Mitsy: The (female) Redwings Mascot!

So....apparently I'm a little obsessed with Mitsy, the female mascot for the red wings. But she's so damn cute! :-)

On the way to getting some more delicious (lite) beer, Jess and I ran into Mitsy and OF COURSE we had to get a quick photo! The best part is, she totally judged my picture taking ability afterwards and gave us a "so-so" hand gesture! What a DIVA! Ha...

Also, I thought it was necessary to post the video of her dancing with Jimmy at the game...Yes, indeed.


Mitsy & Jimmy: Dancy Dance

First New Posting

So, I've decided to start blogging once again to pass the time. Currently I have been watching the Nickelodeon channel all morning...but not really. It's more of a way to pretend that I have something going on. Ha! :-)

There are some really bad shows on TV...for example:What ever happened to those totally awesome shows such as Rugrats, Doug and the like. (Yes, I know that Rugrats is still on...but its not the same at all!)
____________________________________________________________________

Anyway, it's raining and that makes me not so thrilled because I was hoping to go running...but apparently that's out of the question (unless I go to the gym). Maybe I'll just wait? Meh.

Oh yeah! Congrats to my friend Jess Burley for passing her NCLEX exam! She's officially an RN now! :-) She also threw a fun little BBQ party this weekend...and that's an interesting story. At first, I was the only guy (although that doesn't really count...b/c, well...you know), and I was the "young" one...but around midnight the tables turned. Eventually Jess' back porch turned into the biggest after high-school prom party ever! Yeah...not really my thing...underage drinking and all that. But it was fun nonetheless.

Ok, guess that's it for now. I hope that I have the motivation to keep posting. Keep checking back for updates!

Here are a couple of videos to tide you over:

Trojan "Evolve" Commercial


Beyoncé - Diamond Nouveau Parfum (I love this song and sometimes I like Beyonce...Ok, I lie...she's a guilty pleasure, hehe.)
