Baseball, kid! The Yankees in particular...and the Braves, grudgingly so, thanks to the fact I married a Braves fan. I also enjoy kicking ass on a daily basis--can't help it; it's in the blood. Ask my sisters, who I miss so much. They're so damn cool and I just wish lived closer to each other. Thank goodness Jen's family's all here at the Beach--family's #1, baby. Let there be no debate: the J-E-T-S JetsJetsJets rule! I'm also one of the last few remaining hockey fans & the New York Rangers are what hockey's all about! I love hanging with my wife, who's my best friend; I love hanging with my family, my dog, singing, playing guitar, football, hockey (dek/street/ice), tennis/racquetball and baseball/softball. There is also a small chance I loved your Mom for a night or so. Bass Ale & any Pinot Noir, especially Estancia, always bring me glee. Sex is always fun. I love to laugh, to be spontaneous, and love each day as it comes, celebrating this gift of life.
Music
Smashing Pumpkins rock the fucking planet. This is non-debatable. Also dig Rush, Alice In Chains, Eva Cassidy (the most angelic female voice I've ever heard), Boston (with Brad Delp, the most angelic male voice I've ever heard--ok, him & Jeff Buckley), Pearl Jam, Billy Joel, Silverchair, Creed, The Beatles, Blind Melon, Jeff Buckley, Audioslave, John Mayer, Disturbed, Elvis Presley, Chris Trapper/The Push Stars, Eli "Paperboy" Reed & The True Loves, Nirvana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Van Halen, Dave Matthews Band, Stone Tmeple Pilots, System of a Down, Mat Kearney, Dream Theater, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Megadeth, Led Zep, Daughtry, Twisted Sister, Alter Bridge, and lots of 50's-60's jukebox/Johnny Rockets stuff! This is pretty funny, but after seeing Nick Lachey's Behind The Music, I'm SO into his new cd. Fuck Jessica Simpson, she's an idiotic slut! Jen & I love Nick! I even listen to--gasp!--98 Degrees! "It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do......." Update: this pisses me off, but I also like about half of Timberlake's stuff.

Heroes

And my Dad, who lived longer than the percentages said he would when he was stricken with a horrible cancer; you're an inspiration, Dad, and I love you. And Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is anyone more calm in the face of adversity--nay, as kick-ass--as he is?
About me: ........Welcome to a lil' space which happens to be mine--hence, MySpace--wherein you'll find many testaments to how much I rule. Of course, most of these testaments will be provided by myself. Fear not, I am a truth-teller, a soothsayer, a mover, a shaker, a gingerbread maker, and what you see is what you get, unless I'm bullshitting you. I'm a native New Yorker from Strong Island who recently settled in Virginia Beach with a chick so hot that Eunichs get hard just looking at her. Fortunately, unlike the dudes in the classic "History of the World, Part 1," aside form Josiephus, I am not a eunich. Spent my 20's traveling the globe, breaking hearts & learning about life & love. Much love to those I may have wronged--your presence helped me become the man I am now. At the conclusion of that decade, at age 29, I attended nursing school at the mighty University of Virginia, where I learned the mad skills of a most noble profession and lost control of my heart to the most stunning and disarming woman I've ever met. From a few glances in patho class to flirtations in cardiology clinical, to becoming fast friends on the way to best friends, to a kiss that shattered images of every woman before her on January 25, 2002. Not only was she also pursuing nursing as well but was, like me, a baseball freak and, like me, was a family-oriented & kind person, and, like me, liked to make out and laugh a lot. So I married her. Man, isn't finding the perfect person for you only supposed to happen to "other people?" I consider myself blessed every day, and thank the Lord for my wonderful love & life.I'm a badass ER nurse, have a diabolically ass-kicking 9-pound dog named Jack, I have a wondeful Mom, sisters, in-laws & friends, I love Bass Ale and Estancia Pinot Noir, and I'm a chipper, rad dude. But you already knew that. All right--
Who I'd like to meet: Your Mom. Oh, no, too late; already have. Billy Corgan, Henry Rollins, John Mayer (to jam some acoustic), Jack Bauer, The Charmed Ones (The Power of 3 with me? Fugheddabodit!), Dr. Greg House and, most importantly, Jesus Christ.
Billy ~ I Love You & miss u just as much! I miss being a hooligan w/u in public, I was so lucky that u also enjoyed making a scene just 4 fun. Between u & cousin Dan, I've knocked over many a cereal display @ a grocery store & ran away laughing sooo hard & I luv that these supermarket shenanigans carried over to our 30s. Begak!! But man, I so wanted 2 call u cuz the funniest shit happened omg. I was @ the mall w/Jenne & Cassidy - we were exiting the lieu when these 2 little girls were like staring...they were twins & were wearing the same outfits...maybe it was the narrow hallway but I just got crazy visions of The Shining haha & I burst out laughing uncontrollably & Jenne was all "what's up?" but I couldn't say anything cuz that's just mean but I was crippled w/laughter & just started quoting the movie & I love that u were prolly so laughing w/me. Or like 2day when this old car pulled up next 2 me w/these 2 young asian men & all I could think is how we'd both think of Lane Meyers & laugh forever. I miss the laughter. And now that I'm starting 2 laugh again, well it just makes me think of you bro. The hardest part of saying goodbye is that u hafta keep saying it, every day. Me? I'm saying Hello. I miss u. I love u. ~Tri & Thor~
I'm never on here anymore, I guess there's more reminders on here than facebook. I know you're with me all the time, even when I'm not conscious of it. I hope you're having a great birthday. So many emotions today, I know you'd be with me laughing and making fun of everyone who came in our path today, but we had this insane perfect knowledge of who was cool and who wsn't. Who we should be loving and supportive to and who we just pounded with jokes. I'm really hoping I can make a trip back to Va. in November. I feel so much peace when I'm there, even with all those jets flying over. I love you man, my friend, my brother.
heyy <333 you havent gotten a comment in a while!! i'm talking to you alot in my head =P
but i wanted to tell you that I love you and i miss you.
David cook's brother passed away, and it's like reliving when you left us. I can relate to him so much. I love you. I dont know what to do at this moment, with my boy problems right now but I know that you will help me with it =D like you always do<333
I don't remember leaning in. I know you swear I did and that I also paused. But, and I say this with a sly smile on my face, I think it was all you. Then again, 15 minutes later, we finally pulled away and stopped kissing. So I must have leaned in. I must have paused. All I know is God blessed us both that night. 7 years ago today, my life became infinitely better. You, my sweet sweet friend, became the most lovely gift. Thank you for leaning in and taking a chance on me, on us. I do promise that when I see you in heaven, I won't pause or lean in. Instead, I think I'll just run and jump! Bill, I love you more every day. Happy Anniversary, Love!
No matter what's going on in my head or in my life, I know you're with me. Missing you so much, Wrigley field brought back so many memories for me of us going there. Remember when we drove all the way there and I left the tickets in the hotel? Remember jumping on the beds and being insane and crazy screaming at the top of our lungs? We tore up Chicago!!!! Remember how mad you got at me when we got pulled over in Indiana at 3am? So many amazing memories, that's I give anything to recapture for the briefest of moments. I love you more every day, and I don't think that rate will ever change. Missing you bro. Love ya, RAH
Dear Unca Billy, THANK YOU for turning around on your way home three (THREEEEE) years ago today and coming back to Boston to welcome me into the world. I am so happy that you are my uncle and that i had such awesome adventures with you while you were here with us on earth. Mommy and i sent a balloon to heaven the other day with lots of hugs and kisses and while i miss you so much, i know you are doing great and sending me lots of love. i miss you my uncle and i love you so much. the day i was born is EXTRA special because you were one of the very first people i met!! love and kisses, Cassie
Remembering the kick-ass rockstar adventures we had; the hardcore music-making, booty-shaking, road-tripping, bar-hopping, concert-going, dog-walking, beach-loving dadadada :o) We were so lucky to have each other growing up as little kids and being best friends. How many groups of siblings can actually say that they all were best friends? I loved how we all hung out together & adopted each others musical likes, fashion, hobbies etc. It would always be an adventure when we all went somewhere together. I loved how we always would be silly & act crazy obnoxious in public :o) Every time we went to a party or beach bonfire, a concert, a pub in the city or back home on the island ~ no matter where we went~ we owned the friggin place and everyone who didn't know us wanted to sit with us and be our friend cuz we rock and we rule! It was funny how anytime one of us made a new friend, they were making friends with all of us ~ like it or not! (As if anyone would choose not! Mwahaha!) My world was always filled with loud laughter, loud music and loud love ~ all the good stuff heightened to extremes. But its been so damn quiet. I really did know the silence of the world. I was content being off the grid cuz it was too much of an effort. I know if u were here, u wouldn't have any of that nonsense and you'd bring me back to life. But you are here, I've been feeling u tug @ me & inject memories and dreams into my head and my heart. Inspiration for motivation? Reminding me to keep on dreaming, singing, playing, traveling, keep on loving, laughing, keep on living.... and so I am Billy. Thank you for never giving up on me and for always loving me exactly the way I am. You've never ever judged me or tried to keep my voice down. Instead you shared the no-rules free spirit adventurous lifestyle and I am so lucky for us and our badass group of sibs. I promise to make a scene, be silly & loud, rock my voice, shine my star, raise some hell... laughing and loving with all that I am. I love you and miss you with every little bit of myself & my soul. I know that I'm no longer lost without you cuz I know you're still with me. God bless you Billy, I hope there's a kick-ass fiesta going on up there! Ha, maybe that's why its thundering so loudly! I promise you Billy, I'm gonna get out & get back 2 me. I know you don't want me or anyone to stop growing or isolating, so the best thing I can do for you is to get back out there. In honor of you and these awesome gifts of life, love, family & friendship. I promise to keep trying, but I'm only human and this just rips my heart & guts out on a daily basis. So I will continue to remember the laughter and love every time I'm clouded by tears and pain. Na loves Billy :*) My love is your love, Tri and Mr. Azine
LOVE!that's you in one word baby. i want you to know i am OK. i don't have many words today but the main thing is, you are so sorely missed and the world is so *quiet* without you honey. :)I feel peace in knowing you are no longer in pain, and happy. i KNOW it. This makes me feel better and i love you so much Mister Bippy Huh.
so, this week is going to be the CRAZIEST week..ever. Well..i think last years week was teh craziest..since I had to give in all my final projects earlier and everything...But anyway...that was easier. This week...Is study for finals week. I've only got basically...one day to study everything. I tried to study all day today, I watched videos and listened to podcasts...Maybe I should listen to it while I sleep and see if I remember it in the morning...you know? I'm just askin for a lil help..the test is on wednesday which is not cool..I begged all my teachers to change their test days to next monday since 1. It gives us more time to study and 2. There would be no way I could function. Thank you for protecting me, and sending the right things my way, and steering the wrong ones away from my path. I miss and love you more and more each day, and I wish I could visit you, but I have these dumb exams, and I can't miss them, cause I'm GRADUATING!! =D Well, It's not as prestigeous as Nicole's ((she's going for her masters now it's gunna be hella awesome)) she's graduating dec 08 as well and we're both walking in MAY 09 LOL. Thank God it's different days, or it would be crazy. I love you. I miss you. I feel your presence all around me. <3Michelle
