Since school has ended I have been drinking twice as much as I did before I turned 21. Summer started off with a bang when Kristi and I met up with my aunt and uncle in the fabulous Las Vegas. Days of nonsense drinking that consisted of a yardlong plastic container filled with some nonsense frozen drink, $1 casino heinekens and a bottle of captain mo in our hotel room. Finally top it off with a tiny $10 frozen pina colada pool side and that all adds up to one fun vegas trip and beer shits every single day. My Vegas trip with Kristi ended with us seeing Taylor Swift performing a mini concert pool side at the MGM lazy river. It twas a fun trip and since then my drinking habits have been absurd to my standards.
I don't make money at work, gas is expensive, and drinking punishes my wallet. People are turning 21 left and right. In the span of a week David, Adonis, and Mark all turned 21. That all equals a bad liver, an empty wallet and feeling the wrath of Ant "the tank" Barbaran. Davids party was crazy, Adonis' party was crazy and Mark arranged a long trip to irvine that was expensive but fun. In all of these occasions I have been blessed with the presence of Drant.
Drant is my hero.
But in all seriousness once the end of June hits we are all fucked. I believe there are 2 june birthdays and I am very excited for this half month break we all have before the nonsense drinking begins again.
Some random notes:
Its cool to see people who are back down from school.
Tony is buff.
David now wakes up earlier then me.
No one is going to buy a ps3 except Roger.
Rising Moon and Honey Moon are gross beers.
It is impossible to find a job.
My current Job sucks.
Kristi comes in 2 weeks.
I need to go to the beach.
I don't think Judd's hair is wierd.
Nazer talks about throwing up like its nothing.
I need to blog more.

Back To Football
Recently I have veered away from NFL topics, and its time for me to return. Ten days from now one of the biggest events of the NFL offseason is going to take place. The 2008 NFL Draft begins next saturday. Teams have been doing their research and our looking for players who will be the future playmakers of their respected teams. Having a good draft can be good for a team on multiple levels. Teams can address needs through the draft that they did not address during Free Agency. Teams may have multiple strategies on who they are drafting and it depends what the status of their team is. Some teams like the Eagles are win now teams and they are looking for talent that can immediately contribute to the team and hopefully help them reach their ultimate goal of winning the superbowl. Teams such as the Dolphins have no hope to win now and are drafting for their future. Finally we have the young, good teams that are talented such as the Chargers who are looking for quality depth, looking for playmakers who can contribute now, and looking for players to be eventual successors to their playmakers who are getting up into their years. Draft day is a very exciting experience and it is crazy that kids who left college early to enter the draft are the kids who have graduated high school in 2005. These players are the future of the NFL and it is exciting to guess who will be the next Peyton Manning or LaDanian Tomlinson.
The San Diego Chargers
The Chargers are a very talented team on both sides of the ball. Their offense is one of the bests and our defense has very little holes in it. The Chargers could use this draft for a couple of things. One of their more important needs is Cornerback, with Drayton Florence leaving for Jacksonville we are only left with two quality corners, Antonio Cromatie and Quentin Jammer. Drafting a corner that can immediately contribute in our nickel package would be ideal. A corner such as Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would be a great selection because of his tremendous size and his long speed is what the Chargers love. It also helps that the Tennessee State stud is also the cousin of fan favorite Antonio Cromartie. Some other positions of need that could be addressed during the firt round of the draft would be defensive tackle. We have a very young and talented defensive line but the key component of our 3-4 defense is getting up in age. Nose tackle is the anchor of this defense and the Chargers eventually need a player who will eventually succeed Williams and dominate opposing offensive lines. Finally Middle Linebacker is another position that could be address through the draft. With Stephen Cooper suspended for the 1st four games Matt Wilhelm will be playing alongside either Anthony Waters, Brandon Siler or newly acquired Derek Smith. We can never have too much depth at linebacker but losing Cooper and two unproven rookies would call for us drafting another linebacker who can also contribute on special teams. The Chargers have very few holes to fill but whoever they get will be a great addition to a very talented team.
Dominique Rodgers Cromartie
Tennessee State University
6'2" 184 lbs with a 4.33 40 td dash.
I will be adding some more analysis for some other teams in the upcoming days, please stay tuned.

My favorite beer
The past couple of birthdays have been pretty lame just because turning 19, and 20 carries nothing special along with it. But being the big two one is one of the most exciting things that has happened to me. Being able to buy my own beer whenever I want is just plain convinient. No more having to ask co workers and I also do not have to bother my friends to pick up for me. I am able to try all the beers I've wanted to try and now I can take my dad's beer without getting in trouble. For all the people who are not 21, I will gladly pick up for you just because I have to keep the circle of life going. I have to return the favors that were once done for me. Drinking a beer at a restaurant is also one of the perks to being 21. I enjoy an ice cold beer with my meal and I dont really mind the extra $5. By the way Claim Jumper happy hour is the shit.
Now on to my list:
1. Pyramid Hefeweizen
So sweet and refreshing.
2. Heineken Light
Perfect to chill on and is oh so tasty
3. Bud Light
The best domestic water beer
4. Corona
Can't get tired of Corona
5. Coors Light
Perfect for Beer Pong
There are so many beers I want to try but that means I have to work more. Beer is expensive sometimes especially if you want to try all the expensive ones.

Hoagies and Cheesesteaks
Philadelphia is an area of my past many people don't know much about. It is similiar to Nazer's situation in Boston. We all know he lives there and goes to school there, but we have no idea what the fuck it looks like or the food that he eats each day. All I know is Nazer can get pizza very late at night. Philadelphia has some amazing food and there are some things I crave every now and then. I just would like to share with you all the delicious munchies I miss about Philadelphia.
Hail to thy Cheese Steak
This greasy sandwich option is one of the greatest items known to mankind. The options are endless on what you can put on this piece of artwork, and no matter what you do it is always delicious. For $5 you will end up feeling more than satisfied and your tummy will thank you for days for treating it with such good care. When I was back on the east coast a couple of summers ago, I was reminded you could also get cheesesteaks at a gas station market and it would still be better than the shit they try to serve in other place around the country. It is just not the same, if you really want to enjoy one of the amazing sandwhiches at home I will show you a secret steak that is perfect for making a cheesesteak at home. "Steak-um" They are thinly slices frozen steaks that will make a perfect Cheesesteak at home.
Hoagies
Hoagies are basically just subs, but 10x better. The only subs we have around here are your chain restaurant sandwich shops such as Subway, Submarina and Quizno's. Hoagie shops are located all around east coast and during anytime of the day you are able to get one of these Sandwiches will all the fixin's. Though they can never beat out the Cheesesteak they are still delicious and probably a little healthier for your body. Personally for all my Hoagie and Cheesesteak needs I would go to my local "Lee's Hoagie house" for all my sandwich needs. An no Lee is not asian. I grew up in the white sub urbs, yeayah.
Bertucci's Pizza
Brick oven pizza at its finest. Thin crust pizza that is crispy, flaky and oh so delicious. Cooked in a brick over to perfection and provides a great change from your ordinary pizza parlors such as Pizza hut and Domino's. I know all of us like Uno's and BJ's deep dish pizza but I would take any New york Style pizza and Bertucci's pizza over those any day. The thing about Bertucci's pizza that makes it so good is the toppings they put on it. Using seafoood such as clams and shrimp as toppings provides a different taste that all of us are used to.
Finally for Desert we have:
Rita's Water Ice
The greatest desert of all time, my personal favorite is the Gelati, which is half water ice and half soft serve ice cream. Various flavors and little chunks of fruit make up the greatest italian ices of all time. On a hot summer night this is one of the most perfect items to refresh yourself with. You can also get a soft pretzel for 35cents with your water ice, you cannot beat a deal like this. That shit at bucky's is nothing compared to Rita's. Its making me sad that I will probably never have this again.
I think Nazer might be the only one who has an idea of what I am talking about, I wish you guys could all experience these foods but I doubt it will ever happen. For all you readers out here, the east coast doesn't have mexican food; they have taco bell. They also don't have Jack in the Box either. Don't feel too bad just go to your local super market and get some Steak-um and you will be one satisfied person.

A Decent Meal for $5
Many of you who know me, know that I have been employed at a certain restaraunt for 3+ years. It's had its ups and downs but the best part of being employed there was the 50% off discount I received whenever I came in to eat. For those of you who accompanied to my place of employment enjoyed a decent meal for the price of only $5. We were all able to sit at a table and have hours of entertaining conversation. At the same time we were able to stuff ourselves with fatty foods, and loads of unnecessary carbohydrates. I am happy for all of you who were able to enjoy these various feasts. Unfortunately I have ended my reign over that place and I am going to move on to better things. That place trapped me inside this comfort bubble which was nearly impossible to get out of. Its a very shitty place to work at and I am glad I have another job that enables me to earn funds to buy random shit.
I only have two weeks left at this restaraunt and I could not be happier. I know most of you who are reading this are pissed off and aggravated with me but I am not going to suffer so you guys can eat. Mark and Ray are still there and you still have them. I personally would like to thank drew for leaving because he helped me realize it was possible to get out of that hell hole. When I informed people of my quitting, they were all very upset with me; and to you guys I say Fuck you bitches...
Enjoy the cheap food while it lasts cause I am ending this chapter of my life and I plan on ripping out those pages, burning them, and forgetting they ever existed. Thank you.
