Petes Bologna

I'll be the first to tell you that sometimes I dress like a 15 year old kid at a skate park. But that doesn't take away from the fact that I LOVE ME SOME FASHION! I'm proud that I know how to pronounce Yves Saint Laurent and Ermenegildo Zegna. I can appreciate a bespoke suit or a good sweater and tie combo. I know what your thinking. No I am not. O.k. Keep reading, I"m about to learn you something. Weekend after weekend in the City of Chicago I see several fashion trends/statements that need to end NOW!! Some of my friends and family are in on these epic fails and I'm not trying to call you out. You've just been sucked into believing that it's OK to go out like this or maybe you just don't care in which case, GOOD FOR YOU, but here are some things that I'm OK with never seeing again. Board Shorts? C'MON MAN!!! Dammit you're wearing swim trunks in public. We're not at the beach, this isn't SoCal, and your not Kelly Slater. Put s...

So this is a quick collection of things in my brains at the moment. 1.) Whether you are in favor or against health reform I'm pretty sure we can all agree on one thing. Rice Krispie treats are delicious!!!! If you don't agree, go back to Russia. 2.) I may not be a teen heart-throb but I'm confident my hair is and will always be better than Justin Biebers. Maybe even Justin Timberlake. But Beiber for sure. Now that I think about it, teen boppers named Justin seem to be cursed with girl voices and terrible hair. 3.) Sandra and I had a ham, turkey, and roast beef sandwich from Peppos. We ate 3 different kinds of animal in one sitting. I'm pretty sure this is the proudest I'll ever be of Sandra. jk but not really. 4.) I am quite excited for baseball season. I am not excited for the yearly sox/cubs debates all over the city. It really is pointless and just plain stupid. It is the equivalent to the preschool kid trying to fit the square block into the round hole....

I finally watched The Godfather a couple weeks ago. I don't know why I waited so long, it was a good just like everyone said it was. This got me thinking of old movies that I have seen, some of which people my age have never even heard of. So I made a simple list of my favorite movies that are at least 39 years old. I wanted to make it 40 but I couldn't leave "A Clockwork" off the list. In this age of 8ft tall blue people flying off the screen and Michael Bay blowing up more cars than the Taliban, sometimes it's a nice change of pace to watch something a bit simpler. Anyway here's the list. I saw A Clockwork Orange when I was 16 and thought it was soooo bad ass. I'm 26 now and it's still bad ass. Great suspense from the master of it. Funny screwball comedy. Amazing dialogue between Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell The bicycle theif. I don't even know how to explain it. This movie punches me in the stomach and I love it for doing so. Honestly, this i...

So the gist of it is this is my venue for random thoughts, ideas, entertainment reviews, sports news, celebrity gossip, and any other random crap I decide to post. I hope to have fun with this and plan on doing this on a fairly consistent basis. I honestly don't think many people will read this dribble but for those who do, thank you, I hope you like it. If not I'm sure this is still better than work, school, or whatever else you're doing.  If your wondering, why Pete's Bologna the answer is simple. The Wife's nickname for me is Bologna (fun fact number 1) . Plus most of my post will be bologna. Boom! Song of the day: Lisztomania by Phoenix Fun fact of the day: Canada Sucks!
