This past Saturday night a record was shattered. Ladies and gentlemen -- the ultimate 'Look away' picture. It had never been done before. Thanks ladies! ------------------- March 19, 2007: Never forget the 'JB Mentality' -EMV

Wikipedia.org brought it to my attention that people in the United States "people celebrate St. Patrick's by wearing green and drinking at local bars." I would not have believed it, but Wikipedia is always there for me for to confirm this type of obvious information. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has the twelfth longest recorded St. Patrick's celebrations, slightly behind Carbondale, Pennsylvania [Note: Huh?] but ahead of Butte, Montana. Significance? None. I just wanted to throw out some holiday trivia that involved Butte, Montana. Anyways, this is the first St. Patrick's Day for Tommy TwoStep and hopefully not the last one. Celebrate the way we all know American's do. Roll Deep with Tommy TwoStep, wear green and have a drink at your local bar. But please, this St. Patrick's Day, for anyone who is preparing to take an Irish Car Bomb drink to the face, please take a moment of silence and remember all the innocent lives that are being lost everyday as a result of these racially motivated suicidal bombers over in the Middle East.

The time of year that, reported last year, corporate businesses will lose billions of dollars in productivity because their workers are busy checking game scores and bullshitting about hoops around the water cooler. The time of year that, while attending Slippery Rock University, saw me to skip numerous afternoon classes and watch opening round games with a group of buddies while drinking beer at 1:00pm on a Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately I have moved on from school and I am no longer able to pull that stunt, but I still engage in most March Madness rituals... Like any other adolescent male, I filled out a few tournament brackets [note: a 'Freshmen Rule!' bracket] after intensely researching games, match-ups, mascots, etc. for way, way too long. I will follow the college basketball action closely through the rest of the month of March. I will secretly check scores on the internet during the weekdays at work, order and eat inordinate amounts of pizza and wings on the weekends, and always, ALWAYS pull for the underdog. See the Tommy TwoStep Thoughts page for updates related to the NCAA tournament. (post script: It is still snowing in Pennsylvania!!!) -------------------- March 4, 2007:
The Philadelphia Flyers lost their 8th and final game versus the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2006-2007 regular season on Sunday prompting the "Philadelphia Failures" tagline. Zero for Eight -- that is not getting the job done Philadelphia. The game on Sunday was the first NHL shootout I have ever seen live. The crowd was going crazy, knowing a season sweep of the rival Flyers was on the line. Christensen had a career game, Roberts had a dominating performance, and Crosby's clinching goal in the shootout was breathtaking. What a game. Take advantage of the Penguins season sweep of the "Failures", sport the white tee that was pressed to celebrate the Penguins victorious accomplishment and embarrassment of cross state rival.

Sled riding in February rocks! Narrowly edging forty-degree temperatures in December. It seems our winter seasons have become more and more messed up from when I was younger. The fall season seems to last through the holidays and until the new year, then winter finally starts kicking butt in January and February and seemingly will continue into March. That's when T2S will take over. Sign the Tommy TwoStep guestbook and leave your vote, comments, or thoughts on whether you enjoy the warm Decembers or snowy Februarys. (post script: Happy 26th Birthday Ryan. Damn, you're getting old.) ----------------- February 5, 2007: One. No Miller Lite commercials? (I know they have a new campaign out and I have seen the one commercial a hand full of times already, but I don’t think the "GHT" gimmick is going to get too much play, I personally don’t like it.) Miller has gone from "men of the round table" [note: stupid] to this? Miller Lite is going the wrong direction in their advertisement campaign. I was waiting for a hilarious beer spot ala the secret revolving door commercial Bud Light put on display last year. That commercial is still hilarious. “A secret revolving wall.
Dude, you're a genius.”
Bud Light out slugged Miller Lite big time in the beer campaign. Two. No Pepsi commercials? Understandable since they sponsored the halftime entertainment, AKA a wildly overdressed Prince getting poured on with buckets of rain thanks to the lovely, southern Florida climate. (This is the point in the night when I went to the bar to buy more beer. I hope I wasn’t the only one) But c'mon Pepsi, you're not going to let Coke get away with the soft drink advertisement advantage are you? You can at least find some washed up celebrity to throw in a commercial. Coca-Cola’s sarcastic, play-on-grand theft auto commercial was rather amusing once you got the idea what was going on, which for me took nearly the entire commercial. Three, and most important. NO MONKEYS??? Where is Career Builder going with their advertising campaign? They are turning away from what made them a mega hit in previous Super Bowls. MONKEYS!!! It’s easy. Just throw some monkey in men’s clothing and let them do whatever the hell they want to do and it’s funny! The Career Builder office of monkeys spot is always hilarious and now in 2007 we have zero super bowl commercials with monkeys in them. What has the advertising industry come to besides showcasing a washed up and somehow still famous Kevin Federline? (What a playboy.) I guess Nationwide Insurance must have beat Pepsi to the celebrity punch.

February 1, 2007: It's February!
SUPER BOWL! Oh yeah, Valentine's Day too. Check out the limited edition Valentine Day's shirt for the ladies. --------------------
January 16, 2007: It begs the question, are the Panthers comfortable 7 1/2 point favorites at home against the Connecticut Huskies tonight?
UPDATE! *looking down and shaking head*
-------------------- January 3, 2007: RIP Thomas Vandling. Not one of the first things I wanted to hear to begin the new year. An innocent soldier and close friend of mine, killed in battle overseas. RIP Tom. I will miss you. Here is a picture of taken Tom, myself and a couple other coworkers at a conference almost three summers ago. Tom is the second from the right in the black suit shirt. I am on the far right, throwin' up the peace sign. [Note: Don't ask me why.] We had a blast at that conference and well that entire summer to be honest with you. And it seems that every time I catch up with the old crew the stories and memories seem to be endless.
----------------- December 30, 2006: Happy New Year!!! Drink Up! Bring in the new year the right way, the Tommy TwoStep way. ROLL DEEP to your favorite spot and hit up the bar for all its got! [Note: or until you spend all your money.] Personally, I might hit up Niagara Falls, Canada, and gamble my life away at Casino Niagara. Anyways, you can do whatever you feel like doing. Just make sure you post up at the spot, roll deep, say what's g'up, and find some strange because this new years has to be the end of something or the beginning of something even better... 2007!

Welcome to Las Vegas. Welcome to the most wild and ridiculous weekend of my life. The most spontaneous trip I have ever completed considering 4 days ago I wasn't even planning on being in Vegas. Booking the flights on a whim, meeting my buddy at 6:00am, getting the absolute worst seats on the airplane, getting smashed at an airport tavern before our departing flight. And that is just the beginning of things. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or gets posted on Tommy TwoStep. BALLIN' --------------------
December 2, 2006: Yeah, that's my front porch. Yeah, that's a Christmas tree with lights on it. Yeah, I spent about 2 hours working on the lights on my front porch. Yeah, it's definitely December. P.S. Check out this new page layout for my t-shirts. I have some T2S chest logo shirts available.
