Partying like college kids...

Shout out to all the kids of Colleges everywhere, specifically, shout out to all the students at Dickinson College... GO RED DEVILS. As you lucky bastards get ready to go back to school, the rest of us who were dumb enough to graduate on time are faced with that evil 7 letter word... REALITY! You know, waking up everyday before Jesus to go to a job you hate, going to sleep early cause you actually want to, gaining weight and then having to join an expensive gym (wait sorry, thats just me...). You know, reality.

So for all you college kids, God bless you all, cause I'm pretty envious.

For the rest of us, I ask you, what does life lack after college? While there are many answers to this question, the most obvious being the village bicycle (shout out to Brian Kelley)... the real answer is being able to party every night without equivocations.

But fear not post grads, your boy Joey T's got you covered. Here are some tips on how to effectively use your down time and party like a college kid.

1. Mix it up a bit

College was all about being in random awkward situations with people you barely know; however, by the end of the night, everyone was friendly. Add this into your party life. Go to a bar with one friend and start buying shots for that cute girl at the bar. Or buy a beer for that 111 (binary system) and enjoy the fast lane. Look how much fun this guy is having...




2. Utilize the House Party

Nothing screams college like an ipod, a bottle of Jack and a living room. These are the ingredients to a super sweet house party. Of course, no matter what you do, some drunk female, or an Andrew Williams type character, will constantly change the song about every 3.5 seconds...


Grabbing some beers for the next iPod run...

This is okay, but be sure to have these popular house party jams:

Journey- Don't Stop Believing
Rihanna- Please dont stop the music
The Outfield - I dont wanna lose your love
Bon Jovi- living on a prayer
and copious amounts of Cascada and other trashy techno jams

The technical term for this constant changing of the tune is 'iPod A.D.D', look it up on Web MD for further reference.

The house party: a cost effective, fun way to relieve the dream

3. Weekend Road Trips

The week is done, so what should you do? You could stay local, but if you really wanna jazz it up, hit the road. Call up some buddies and have some post grad good times in a neigboring state. Btw, make sure of a few things once u hit the road:

-Make sure you have at least 2-3 friends down for the trip, gas prices are insane
-Ensure that there is at least a couch for you to pass out on
-I cannot stress this enough.. the girl to guy ratio has to be at least decent, otherwise its a waste of a trip.


Lets open this open for discussion...

POST GRADS, how do you escape the work week? COLLEGE KIDS, how do we be more like you???

Fourth of July reflections




God bless America (n Ice)!!! Another fourth of July in the books, and for me and mines, it was a good one. Shout out to everyone who came to the house and feasted on some chicken and ribs with me and the fam. As usual, the food was phenomenal. But, my family cookout made me realize what the fourth of July is all about. Its not only about celebrating the anniversary of America, but its about see just how drunk and crazy your friends and family can get.

Think about it, you spend all year getting boozed up with your bros and your friends; but you forget, your parents and their friends been throwing down before you were even a twinkle in your father's eyes. The 4th of July allows older folks the opportunity to forget about their job, their nagging wife, and their ugly ass kids and just focus on whats important in life: booze, food, and shacking opportunities.

Take my cookout for instance, once the rain began to fall, all the 'adults' came inside and reverted back to their college days. I came downstairs after about an hour being upstairs with my friends and I notice my bottle of Hennessy was finish, along with most of our grey goose, rum and other fine liquors. I knew it was serious when my mother barged in my room to pleed with me to go to store for more Bombay... even though she knew I was drunk. When else will your parents ask you to drive drunk for them???

So if you didn't take the opportunity to get wasted with your family this fourth of July, fear not... Veterans Day is right around the corner.
