Introducing: The Bromantic Basterds

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Hello blog, it’s been a while. I have valid excuses for my lack of postings in the last month. Most of them deal with my having started my own company which I’ve mentioned previously in the podcast. The good news is for now at least, I’m back. And back with some basterdness.

If you’ve read this blog for a while or listened to the podcasts you may have heard the name of my hetero lifemate, Mr. Michael V. Cannetti. If you are unfamiliar with the term “hetero lifemate,” you’re clearly not a Kevin Smith fan for one. But I will paste an excellent definition that I lifted from the good old Urban Dictionary anyway:

A best friend who is so close, that were they not to match your sexual orientation, you would be married to them.

That certainly describes my friend and what a scary universe it would be if he were a woman, but I digress. Mike and I met in college; unfortunately late if you ask either of us, but we’ve done our best to make up for lost time. Whether descending on the unsuspecting masses in Atlantic City or doing some surfing photography where we plan to some day actually capture an image of Mike up on his surf board, we have loads of fun.

Best of the Commercial Bowl 2010!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I am not a big football fan. The only time I ever watch a game is usually the Superbowl, and even then I tend to pay much more attention to the commercials than the actual game. (Though I am happy for the Saints, go you!)

This year was no different. I spent most of the night watching Law & Order reruns and playing Mass Effect 2. Occasionally we’d tune in to see what was going on and had the impeccable timing of flipping back right before the halftime show featuring, The Who.

Funny thing about The Who… I hate that song, “Who Are You?”.  And for some reason it’s the only song I’ve ever associated with, The Who. Come to find out they have a ton of other epic music. Songs that I love, that I had no idea they sung. Turns out I like The Who. Go fig.

I digress, on to the commercials…

On having a nemesis…

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

It’s important in life to have a best friend. Someone who will be there to help you out no matter what, and always make you smile when you need it.

On the other hand, it is almost unavoidable to have an arch enemy. A nemesis. Some fiend that plagues your nightmares and causes you need to constantly watch over your shoulder, lest they stab you in the back.

Mine is the Gorton’s Fisherman. I know what you are thinking. But you are wrong. He is REAL. First off, Gorton’s Fisherman has been leading his evil campaign for years before I was born. He cleverly disguises himself as a friendly fisherman bringing frozen fish goods like fish-sticks and the like into families homes for decades. Every commercial includes a jingle. A famous jingle that you’d be hard pressed to find a person who doesn’t know it.

OMG! The Peanut Butter Solution!

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

OMG! I cannot believe that I found this. Many who know me, know that throughout time I’ve ranted about some very random things. One major movie rant I’ve always talked about is a movie called the Peanut Butter Solution. It is by far the craziest movie I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying a lot. Most people don’t believe it exists when I tell them about it. That’s also because no one in their right mind has ever seen it.

My understanding is that it was a Canadian made family horror/comedy movie. It released in 1985 and features music by Celine Dion. You see? Already frickin wierd.

Pete Presents: Wild Animals – Gizzle Edition.

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

This is a story I wrote in March 2008. It’s being reposted for the masses to see.

It was during my time in Tanzania Africa recently that I came across a marvelous discovery. To preface, before I left I had discussed with my good and dear friend Michael Cannetti, the existence of a very special and very rare animal.

Mike had asked me, “So are you going to watch the Gizzle as it grazes in the open plain (Australian accent needed for this statement.)”. I at first mistook his meaning for watching a Gazelle graze, but then I recalled having heard of a mysterious animal by that name. As we began to discuss, Mike at first suggested he thought it resembled something of a “dog-like” creature, a Dingo. But that wasn’t it. I thought hard about it and remembered that it was known to be a very fast animal with some interesting facial features. Finally and triumphantly, Mike recalled that it was part Gazelle, part Ostrich, and part something far more sinister.
