I remember riding in the back of Becca's car once on the way back from her apartment. She played some music so loud it hurt my ears. I think it was Prince or something like that. I don't know why I remember this random tid bit but I thought I would record it to see if I could get any recollections from anyone.

One winter night when Kevin lived above a business in a sweet apartment in downtown rochester. He and a bunch of C-Town gangstas had me, Kev and Robin (my cousin) come over for a "flowing session".

For those of you who dont know what flowing is, just see the 8 mile movie about eminem.

So we all were at a bar that night hanging out and playing pool. The snow was coming down lightly and then we all went upstairs to their apartment.

Kevin had this buddy who was a white boy, but absolutely amazing at rapping. He even had rap CDs and stuff. And this guy could spit out rhymes like you wouldnt believe.

We had beats in the background and we all . . . Read More..

When Dave turned 21 we decided to go to Canada. I think we went here because Kristen wasn't 21 yet and it seemed like a good time. So Dan, Kristen, Jessica(Kristen's friend), Dave and myself go to this bar called the Reactor in downtown Windsor. I always liked this bar because they made these special shots that lit on fire and tasted like cinnamon. About twice a week they would have these thong contests where girls would dance around on stage in thier thongs. I believe this was happening on this particular night. So it wasn't that late and we were all having a good time,so I thought. I look over and Dave has his head down on the tabe clearly passed out. Before I can say anything to him the bouncer comes over and tells me I gotta get my buddy out of here. So that ended the night.Westside!

Before there was fear factor on TV and before reality TV was even around.  You have our family.

In 1998, our family started a new gift giving tradition that some people call "White Elephant".  Its basically a pool of gifts and each person draws a number.  The first person chooses a gift and is stuck with it, but the next person may steal their gift or pick another.  The last person is in the best position.

Most of the gifts this year were pretty decent.  Barb, (Christmas Boss) just by chance got a couple of really crappy gifts and joke gifts.  One of which was some S.P.A.M and some pickled pigs feet.

Well after that I think my brother and my Uncle Dennis talked about how he would eat them for money.

This soon turned into all of the Brat Patrol (Me, Noel , Kevin , and Dan ) wanting a bunch of money to eat the pickled pigs feet.

I am sure some people really eat these things, but they stink like formaldahyde and vinegar or . . . Read More..

This one time I was hanging out with my family on vacation at my grandma Renne's house and my dad wanted to cook dinner.

He was rummaging around in the fridge trying to find ingredients and he came across a 15 or 20 year old lime juice in my grandma's fridge.

We cracked up so bad at this. Grandma still deny's just how old it really was.
