New Year Resolutions!

As we all know, new years is right around the corner. This is the appropriate time for many of us to determine what we want to do in the new year to better our lives. New Year resolutions, if you will. There are a number of goals and resolutions that I would like to set for myself in the year 2006.Make sure I am present for the countdown to the new year! This would surely be a nice starting point. Last year, I missed the countdown and I still believe to this day that it brought me a considerable...

New Years Eve celebration to officially land at Headliner!

For the third year in row, I will be celebrating New Years Eve with Jaime and company at Headliner, appropriately touted as The Night Club for the Jersey Shore. As previously stated, we originally intended to celebrate New Years at Beachcomber Bar and Grill in Seaside Heights, but all of the suitable hotels in the local area were booked and the only hotel vacancies left were all ghetto fabulous.Therefore, the next best alternative was to purchase tickets for Headliner, where we celebrated New Years...

Anticipation of New Years Eve celebration (as well as the new year)!!

Christmas came and went - it did not stop for anyone or anything - but the day was rather nice. I sat around with the family and relaxed, as we watched Christmas movies. I got some nice things for Christmas - including clothes, a few DVDs, and some other useful goods. I finally got the first three episodes of the Star Wars Saga! In the next week or so, I definitely need to sit down and watch all six, starting with the first episode.Do not think that I am going to watch all six in one day. I do not...

Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man (2005) is a brilliant motion picture, directed by Ron Howard and based on a true story, that reflects the hardships and rise to prominence of heavyweight contender and North Bergen, New Jersey resident James J. Braddock, who is played by actor Russell Crowe (A Beautiful Mind, 2001).The plot takes place during The Great Depression, at a time when employment was extremely scarce, anxiety was at an all time high as a result of the recession, and suicide was both attempted and committed....

Post graduation reaction, three year anniversary, and more!

My graduation this past Sunday was an absolutely beautiful event.As I have stated on numerous occasions over the past few months, this graduation was long overdue. I was not going to be denied that ceremony come December 18. As a result, I completed my internship on time and received an A. When President Saatkamp issued my diploma frame to me, I raised both arms up in the air to symbolize the victory that I had earned over the course of five and a half years. Expect graduation photos within the...

OFFICIALLY A STOCKTON COLLEGE GRADUATE AND ALUMNI!!!!

Finally, on December 18, 2005 (two days ago), yours truly graduated from The Richard Stockton College of NJ with a Bachelors Degree (BS) in Business Studies - with a concentration in Hospitality Management! I was so proud of myself, as was my family and my girlfriend.The entire ceremony was truly a compelling event - one that was warm and heartfelt on my end and I am sure on the end of the other 350-400 graduates that day. Since then, I have been in somewhat of a cheery mood. This graduation has...

Growing coffee addiction?

My addiction to coffee is gradually increasing. It is just so damn good!What is to be said for that?Some have stated that caffeine addiction is as harmful as nicotine addiction, but I can not help my taste for coffee. My countless hours of work at The Olive Garden do not exactly help to provide a cure for this addiction. Starbucks coffee is really good, but some would argue that it is expensive. Others call it Charbucks, noting that their coffee has too much of a burnt taste to it. Their Caramel...

Internship result, graduation weekend at Stockton, and more!!!

Photo of Jaime and I:Extremely handsome + undeniably beautiful = sight for sore eyes This picture was taken of us at Friday Feast approximately four weeks ago. Rarely do I ever put pictures on this website, so I figured it was time for a picture. I really like the way this picture came out. Most of the pictures from the previous three months or so have been on Jaime's digital camera, which I bought her for her birthday I might add. The picture quality is excellent. The actual content is even better!...

Olive Garden culinary Incompetence!!!

The holidays are quickly approaching. I need to start my holiday shopping. Along with my graduation being three days away, my three year anniversary with Jaime is also on Sunday. Can you believe it? Three years! Where did all of that time go? Our time together has been a spontaneous rollercoaster ride, but I have enjoyed every bit of the time.This post is leading in the direction of a heated fuming session. Viewing of this post is not permitted for children.I need to leave the Olive Garden as soon...

Five more days!

Today is Tuesday!What happens on Tuesday nights??? Kareoke night at Murphy's with the O.G. crew! Who ever would have thought I would have something to look forward to on Tuesday nights, and in Dover, nonetheless??????On a more serious note...Graduation is vastly approaching, yet I still maintain a rigorous job search in attempt to land the right job. At this point, I have been searching for over a month.I actually came across a couple opportunities, such as the Bankers Life and Casualty Company...

Colleen's campus Christmas party!

Upon arriving at Stockton yesterday to submit my internship paper and journal, I was completely unaware that Colleen was having a Christmas party at her apartment on campus. It was not until Jack randomly located me, by the computers in the school library, and asked me if I was going to Colleen's later that evening. That proposition automatically made due for my plans for the night.When I got to Colleen's, she had plenty of food and drinks. Mike, Jack, Frank, Colleen's friend Erin, and couple of...

Snowball storm, Stockton, graduation, and more!

North Jersey was blasted really hard with a severe snowstorm early this morning. This was not the little snow shower that was originally predicted to be four to six inches of snow last week. Just the opposite. Right from the outset, the snowflakes were literally the size of baseballs! For that matter, we can call them snowballs rather than snowflakes.I actually had the balls to drive through such a snowstorm in order to get to Stockton College to submit my completed internship paper and journal....

Internship report just about complete!

More freezing weather... hip hip hurray!!!On a much brighter note, my internship report and journal entries will all be complete and submitted to Dr. Whithem tomorrow at Stockton.Yes, I am submitting everything, in person, because that is the best way to submit such an important assignment. This paper and journal is the entire course; the final course requirement that will determine whether or not I ultimately receive that much-needed, desired, and hard-earned paper on December 18 - just 10 short...

Another wild kareoke night at Murphy's!

Murphy's, Dover-Rico, Nueva Jersey's crowning glory and savour establishment, was once again the hot spot last night for the O.G. crew, as it usually is every Tuesday night for kareoke night. The O.G. regulars were there, including Beth, Rico, Eileen, Tom, and Rob. Matt and Michelle, who are rather new at the O.G. came to Murphy's last night, as did Ernie. Janine was also out for her birthday with her boyfriend and his friend. There may have been some others, whom I failed to mention.For the second...

First snow storm!

The weather forecasters predicted four to six inches of snow on the radio yesterday, but from what I could see outside, they were off with their forecast. Thank God.The sun is out today, so it is melting the ice on the grounds and the driveway I walk to get to my car. Perhaps the placement of salt on my driveway would be a good idea, instead of waiting for the sun to do the job. Should I always wait for the sun, I could be waiting weeks - maybe even months! This is New Jersey and it is the month...

Freezing cold!

Yes, after being treated to warmer weather than we were accustomed to in the month of November, December finally greeted us with the friendly winter weather that we all love. Freezing cold, snow showers, flu, illnesses, and all of that other fun stuff.Today, however, I am enjoying my 2nd day off in a row from work. Originally, I was scheduled to work at 4pm as a busser, but I am definitely not going to carry on with those plans. My availability, since October, does not include Saturday. After failed...

County College of Morris!

R.I.P. Mr. Miyagi ----->This week, I have been at two of the colleges (one of them a community college) that I have attended as a student in the last six years.Currently I am at the County of College of Morris (C.C.M.), or "Harvard on the Hill" as many like to refer to it as, to work on my internship journal and paper. I submitted the midterm evaluation form to the managers so they could fill it out and send it to Dr. Whithem at Stockton College A.S.A.P.17 more days until graduation! I must...

The Ultimate West Coast Experience... from Sacramento to San Francisco to Beverly Hills and everything in between!

Experience to last from January 26 to January 30, 2006.Let me be the first to admit that I am just a bit nervous about boarding the very first flight of my life in just under two months from now, but the actual vacation that comes with it seems quite appealing.According to Scott, all of us will most likely be staying the Hyatt Regency, a hotel for which the bar the grill is owned by pop star Justin Timberlake. This particular hotel is a major hangout to all the stars and high rollers in the Beverly...

Quick morning at Stockton!

Currently I am at Stockton College. I drove down here early this morning to take care of the exit-interview business that could've prevented me from graduating had I not taken action.Exit interview, exit-pay the school shitloads of money, exit-freedom that college life provides, exit-don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, whatever you want to call it. Any one of them will do.Whatever the hell you choose to call it, I did not want it infringing on my graduation, so I dealt with it in person....

Waiting game!

WORTHY OF MENTION: Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are splitting up. Isuppose "the newlyweds" were not exactly destined to live happily everafter... I must admit their two-season television series was entertaining.For the most part, work went rather smoothly today. The first table of mine that was sat by the hosts presented a happy couple eagerly anticipating the holidays upcoming.This couple had just recently purchased a new vehicle (some sort of pick up truck for which I failed to remember the...

Friday Feast on Black Friday

"If the grass is the green, leave the lawnmower in the garage."Somehow I managed to survive Black Friday at the Olive Garden for yesterday's lunch shift. I volunteered my services as a busser due to the fact that I did not want to deal with the people that day. The manager also informed me that the restaurant had an influx of servers and there were no more sections available. Therefore, I worked as a busser. Friday Feast took place at Gena's house last night, as it usually does every year the day...

Scott, Liezel, and a night at White Castle!

Scott and his wife Liezel arrived at Scott's home in Mine Hill at 1am this morning. After going to Murphy's in D-town with some friends from work, I went to Scott's house to see him, Liezel, and Scott's mother. I sat down on the recliner and looked at the photo album containing pictures from Scott's wedding in Hawaii. After going upstairs, I noticed the newly renovated bathroom. Very nice.Afterwards, Scott, Liezel, and I went to White Castle for a little late-night bite to eat. Afterall, they had...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! There has been somewhat of a hiatus since the last time I updated with a legitimate post, so here I am to make your day a special one.As was noted this past Saturday, Bill and I will be flying out of JFK airport on Jetblue for California to see our friend Scott for a few days in January. Speaking of Scott, he will be arriving in New Jersey for the Thanksgiving holiday sometime around midnight tonight. I look forward to seeing him again - both this week and in California...

Graduation draws near!!!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY ANNA!After a major scare yesterday morning due to a dilemma at the Bursar's Office, I realize that my graduation will in fact be happening in five short weeks, with a major thanks to Jaime and my mother. Thank you both very much! Graduation IS going to happen. As a result, I have a growing agenda that is going to cross over into 2006, for which I must be ready to acknowledge.I must renew my auto insurance and pay the necessary fee to get that up and running again. I must also...

Busy week upcoming; bring on a corporate therapist!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen - family, friends, and fans.So what is the latest?Today I worked a lunch shift and was released a little while ago. I made over $40, which is not bad considering it was only a lunch shift. My much-desired move back to South Jersey has not progressed the way I initially wanted it to, but when the right opportunity presents itself, I will seize that opportunity E-MEDIATELY. I am trying to move out of my house A.S.A.P.!Having picked up some extra shifts for this week,...

SHANA IS A DUDE WITH A "WINKY"!!!!

Much to my surprise, I discovered last night that Shana, our supposedly "female" feline, is actually a male!!!It all started when my mother brought her (now him) to the veterinarian to have her tooth checked out. The front tooth was sticking up out of her mouth. According to the vet, she had a serious jaw infection, which lifted the tooth up out of her gums - she also had a winky, without a set, all these years. If you follow the vet's lead, she is a fixed male.I was startled when my mother told...

Downing candy, popping in movie(s), and working hard for the money!

Let me begin this post a loud and hardy Congratulations to Senator John Corzine for his victory over Doug Forrester in the race for Elected Governor. Yes, it happened nine days ago, but better late than never...As a person who has never truly taken the side of democrat or republican in the political races, I can honestly say that the right man won this particular election. Corzine has been a major help to me in terms of financial aid for college and problems I had with certain companies and their...

Couple days with Jaime: More to come later!

For the past couple days, I was down in Howell with Jaime. I even went to Monmouth University with her last night and spent some time at the student center while she went to class. Afterwards, she treated me to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays - probably for going to school with her. The campus is very nice; perhaps I will go there for graduate school someday. We shall see. That is all for now; I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the latest. There will be more to come in greater detail a little...

Phone call from Scottie-D, what is on my horizon, and more!

Blog of Bryan has so much more traffic... I am loving the fan base ladies and gentlemen! Kudos goes out to all of my family, friends, and fans.I called the dude who lives at the apartment, the one I am trying to move into in Somers Point, but there was no answer so I left him a message telling him I was interested in renting out a room. Clearly, everyone now understands that I will no longer be living at home in Dover-Rico, or "the bowl," as many of its residents commonly refer to it as.Earlier...

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Hope all is well with my world wide audience on this warmer than usual Monday afternoon in November. As you look at the title of this entry, you are probably asking yourselves just what exactly I am referring to? Back and forth and back again? Is it making you dizzy?? Where am I going with this particular entry???As of about two days ago, I have decided that I am going to make a more permanent move in terms of my place of residence. Back in May, I departed from...
