Dilemna Dilemna

Yesterday was the benefit for James and Anthony's Uncle Steven. I dont have the numbers but i thought on a whole, it was a huge success. Uncle Steven (if i may call him that being that he isnt my uncle) was very gracious and deserved everything he got. Speaking about deserving what they got- we made out like bandits. If that was the benefit we were the benefactors. The Mirenda, Lipani, and Simeone family swept the categories and I didnt do too shaby either. I won Reebok G-Unit sneakers, as well as a duran duran dvd, a miami heat warm up jacket and a phil eagles hat. But the crem de la crem was the 4 ny knick vs new jersey net tickets that i also won. These are 100 dollar tickets but the only snag if u can call it that is that its this thursday in jersey!! It doesnt matter though cuz in the words of those McDonalds commercials...baad bah bah bah..IM LOVIN IT!... hahah u know u just sang those lyrics!!! But the innitial love i had was kinda short lived when i realized i hada choose who to bring. Now it was killing me all night...luckily i dont have that many friends but still a tough decision. So here is my thought process. I definately had to pick mike cuz hes the biggest nba fan out of all our friends and he desperately wanted those tickets. So now its me and mike and i need 2 more peeps. Well I got Bert, Brad, Anthony, James, Scott, Gina, Boye, and even Wildes to consider. So now i try to widdle down the choices.  Wildes and boye are out due to work obligations. Brad has school and he and gina already went to a game this yr which coincidentally knocked gina out of the thought processas well. Scott isn't exactly a sports fan and if he was im guessing basketball would not be his first choice(BANB). Bert doesnt like basketball too much although he knows his stats and hes heavily into college hoops. But with that said i chose anthony and james not just do to process of elimination but b/c  i think they are good choices. Being that anthony likes basketball and james says he follows the knicks although he says a lot of things lol..plus if it wasnt for thier uncles benefit i wouldnt have gotten the tickets. I tried calling every1 to make sure they were ok with the choices but i dunno somehow i feel like people are gonna be a lil upset or feel left out and id hate to be that guy. I'd honestly give up my ticket rather than have some1upset about it- u know?

Another heavy decision that has weighed on my mind like a hundred pound sombrero is this...As many of you my love life consists of Hilary duff, sports and wrestling. It's pathetic but its pretty much all i have. So what happens when 2 beloved obsessions force you to make a choice? I'll tell you what happens..heart ache. This sunday im forced to choose between Wrestlemania aka "the grand daddy of them all", the pinacle of sports entertainment which is by no coincidence the one time of year that i feel complete and total nirvana, AND Opening night of baseball which consits of the single greatest team rivalry in sports..Boston Red Sox vs the YANKEES. How is a man to choose? How can i miss the nonstop excitement of wrestlers fighting on the grandest stage competing for 1 reasona nd 1 reason only but to give me (the fan) the best show possible. On the other hand how can i not watch a team that i have lived and died with though thick and thin, battle their arch nemisises. Its a choice of been contemplating for about a week and i still havent made up my mind. I am leaning towards wrestlemania but by no means am i thrilled about my decision. i'm hoping for more rain to push back the start date of the game but God likes to give me the finger sometimes so i doubt it.

These dilemnas makes Nelly look like a pansy!

Anyway at the benefit I showed up wearing a white buttoned down ambercormbie shirt with light blue stripes and a hint of pink..daring but not gay... and i must tell u i got a lot of compliments which certainly bumped the shirt up on the rotation. I wasnt afraid to roll up my sleeves though when james asked me to help bar tend i was all over it. The way i looked at it this was as close as id ever become to be compared to tom cruise. I was pullin down the levers on the keg like it was a slot machine and i loved every second of it...well most of it..once and a while a crazy lady would come back and talk to herself and im not gonna lie it made me nervous but whatever.  I didnt even get to eat really and i grabbed so much food too. I got a slice of pizza, a hero, a hotdog, and some stuffed shells but i only got to eat the slice of pizza cuz i was in demand. i really wanted a donught too but for health and wieght reasons i just couldnt do it.

I dont know if i mentioned it but the prank at work went of smooth as silk. She (the niave yetsomewhat retarded victim) was none the wiser and the finale was brad riding on berts front bumper and crashing into a fense. If i didnt know it was fake i mite have believed it myself. Good times.

The power went out twice tonite and once the other nite. I dont know what Lipa is doing but whatever it is they suck. CON ED for life lol.

Movie Picks: I havent been to the movies as much as i'd like but i did see Sin City and it was Sin-Sational lolol. That was gay but u know ur gonna read that in Newsday or something. I liked it so much i made it my new screen saver. For those of u that arent in the know, Sin city is based on an old time comic book. The movie is black and white with certain colors mixed in..it doesnt even feel like a black and white movie. I said this before but i'll say it again.. the storyline is so good it makes "Kill Bill" look like "About Schmidt". ..Another movie i wanted to see but havent is Guess Who. I heard it wasnt too funny and thats disappointing considering Bernie Mac (and all black comedians for that matter) like to make fun of white people and Ashton Kutcher is 1 dumb ass cracker so the movie had serious potential...I did manage to see Robots and i wasnt too happy with it. I have become an animation and kid movie expert since my friends started working at the movie theater and this movie ranks down at the bottom..sorry robin williams but u just didnt do it for me.
