By the time we got to Forty-second Street, the Depression was practically over! It did take me a few extra days to realize that I was no longer in the 1930s. Our flourishing run of “The American Clock” curtained this past weekend and I crashed back into present-day collegiate responsibilities in which I still don’t [...]

I staggered home last night in a state of emptiness one would fashion themselves in after enduring a twelve-hour tech rehearsal secluded from the remainder of the student body. A game that I implored myself not to care about – a game that would break my heart regardless of voided victory or titillation turned into [...]

I had my entire weekend of procrastination planned out seamlessly. Big East football as it will never be again on Friday, the rest of the collegiate nation on Saturday headlined by USC’s pancake battering of Notre Dame and possibly some actual flapjacks with Menage a Trois and company, my quest for another new favorite NFL [...]

You’re aware of the torturous situation by now. Recall at your own risk the naïve excursion of an offspring or younger sibling constantly imitating your every whim to the point of nausea – The Shadow Game. It’s cute at first and so you tolerate it, most likely because you are the fool that taught them [...]

Last week, I made the public mistake of promising not to shave off my beard until the Boston Red Sox clinched a playoff berth. And if you know me, and if the first half of “Italian” Trojan is any indication, my facial hair is legendary when disregarded (as for the “Trojan” counterpart…that’s a topic for [...]

There isn’t too much that I dislike about residing in Los Angeles. I can wear my plaid scarf in ensemble with my cargo shorts because it is freezing and tepid at the same time. I can take the right turn out of campus and encounter every cuisine in the world within a two-block radius, or [...]

I spent the last two nights in a square, padded, red room, being forced to consume my meals through a tube, because I and every other Boston devotee choked throughout the entire month of September. I aimlessly shambled around campus Wednesday night belting hit breakup songs such as “Bust Your Windows” and “Before He Cheats” [...]

Unfortunately, while correctly predicting the Arizona State Wario-like Rapist Sun Devils to defeat my beloved-as-assigned-but-still-have-one-more-year-until-they’re-relevant USC Trojans, I am suffering the consequences of sanctioned school spirit, but with the aid of several mimosas and broadly accepted run-on sentences, I am devoted to roughly and bluntly completing this blog by 10 A.M., for the show must [...]

Second stint in the NFL with his second team. A record-setting second 100 million dollar contract. Second point in his career where he discovers himself Top Dog in the football universe. But does he truly second guess the developments of his life that pleaded for a second chance in the first place? Michael Vick resurrects [...]

There are three facets of my life that I feel have provided me with enough qualifications to be considered for the mafia. First of all, I am Italian. In a house of nine people and just as many pets and bottles of gel, I have the stealth to hide unnoticed in my bedroom for an [...]
