Hello World!
Welcome to the life and chronicles of My Jersey Boys and me, B (the only girl who hangs out with them). Our original mission was to prove that not all of Jersey is obsessed with GTL. Now it's kind of become the place where we share our random thoughts, ridiculous stories, regular quote updates, and maybe a picture or video here and there. There's always something going on...
Love from,
The one and only,

Dog's are awesome...
Hello world!
I was just sitting around, hanging out with my dog's, and I remembered this Bill Burr special where he talks about how awesome dog's are. So I felt the need to share it with everyone, because he's right, and I feel the same way. I found the clip on YouTube, but the video quality kind of sucks. You'll get the gist though. Enjoy!
Love from,
You do appreciate your dog's when you're older...

Luke Skywalker's Poor Leadership Skills
It should come as no surprise to anybody who is familiar with Star Wars that Luke isn't known as one of the better Jedi's. He certainly doesn't live up to the standard set by Yoda, Windu, or Kenobi. Perhaps it's unfair to compare him to those Jedi Masters, but as the leader of the New Jedi Order, you'd hope that the Grand Master would be an elite Jedi.
In the past few months, I've really got into the Star Wars expanded universe. I used to think that the stories after Return of the Jedi would be weak. To my surprise, the stories actually get better. You have the Thrawn Trilogy, the Thrawn Duology (anything with Thrawn is great), I, Jedi, etc. They are all really, really good reads. They strongly capture all the original characters as well as add more to the characters. Unfortunately, this means we get to see how poor a Jedi Luke really is.
There is no question that Luke has strong lightsaber skills. In the expanded universe, Luke is renowned for his technique and athleticism. That's what makes his poor Jedi skills in other areas so unusual. His wisdom is lacking, his self-confidence is non-existent, and his sense of the force is inconsistent. Here are some of his mistakes:
1) He starts the New Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, where a 10,000 year old Sith Lord's ghost is lingering. Despite some of his student's objections, he ignores the danger. A few of his students die or turn to the dark side because of Luke's lack of forsight.
2) He fails to help the New Republic stabilize. Starting a new government is always hard, but you would think having a Jedi/War Hero close by would help things move along. Unfortunately, Luke's distaste for politics and desire to get the Jedi Academy starting puts the galaxy in a bad place. While Leia tries to prevent Civil War, Luke is out an about doing what he thinks Jedi should be doing.
3) Luke believes he is the only remaining Jedi Master, and therefore he believes that he needs to save the galaxy by himself. Unfortunately, he is consumed by self-doubt. He constantly puts himself in positions where he needs help to escape, either luck, outside help, or the general failures of his enemies.
4) He turns to the dark side. When the Emperor is reborn, Luke thinks that the only way to save Han and Leia (and their kids) is to destroy the Emperor from the inside. He agrees to becomes the Emperor's new apprentice. With Leia's help, he eventually escapes and destroys the Emperor. Unfortunately, everybody knows he turned to the dark side, and the galaxy's faith in his undermined.
As I said before, Luke has all the physical skills to be a quality Jedi Master. Unfortunately, his mental command of the force is weak. His weakness likely has to do with the fact that his training was extremely short and started at a very late age (Yoda knew what he was talking about). Additionally, he is a very, very poor teacher. Several of his early students turn to the dark side quickly. Other students just leave unannounced. In the Thrawn Duology, Mara Jade (his future wife) calls him out for being a shitty Jedi and whiny bitch. Luke agrees with her and then proposes to her. Would Obi-wan have done that?

NO HOT CHOCOLATE FOR YOU!!!!

Hello world...
So I am in Colorado visiting my Mom and her side of the family, as well as my best friend Hart... And mornings have been... difficult, to say the least. I blame myself for being hungover, the snow and sun for being way too bright, and my little sister for beating me up with my own bathrobe tie because I won't make hot chocolate. In my defense, I didn't know where it was, and I was hungover. So I didn't want to... Plus, she was really mean! She didn't even say please! Until half an hour into her beating me up... I have proof.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Love from,
I'm going to go back to hiding in my basement now, because she wants to use the computer, and she keeps stretching out her bubble gum precariously close to my long hair... and I can't take the crappy princess music anymore. I just can't...

The short life & death of Bob the Unicorn...
Hello world!
So, if you have seen the post below by D (and if you haven't, you should), you'll have seen our present to T. It all started months ago when T was first moving to the Caribbean for med school. He told me then that when he came home, he wanted a piñata. So I told the guys his proposal, and for a few days we talked about what ridiculous things could we put into a piñata. I'm pretty sure things like peanut butter and the fetus of Voldemort from the 7th Harry potter movie were discussed, but eventually we decided upon filling a piñata with red jello. Mainly because we figured it was as close to organs as we were going to get, and he's going to med school. He should be used to squishy red stuff, right?
It was just an idea, of course. We didn't really discuss it again until Thanksgiving, because T would be home soon, and it was a good idea. There was a lot of discussion of how we could put jello into a paper-mâché piñata, but I had already figured out that we could line the inside with parchment paper and Saran wrap. I bought a ridiculous amount of red jello, Tk and C picked out a piñata, and I was assigned the task of making the unicorn piñata they had picked out, jello ready.
Oh, and Tk and I decided to name him Bob the Unicorn.
We had everything planned out, except for when and where. All of our schedules are different, so finding a time and place to do it took some time. Finally, last night, we all joined together to give T his present. I had everything ready, Tk and D helped me fill the piñata... Which took five boxes of red jello to fill... Then we blind-folded T and made him walk through a field, and a lot of trees and bushes, before he could finally enjoy his piñata.
It was a great time.
Love from,
Life is funny when it gets messy.

Hello world!
There is nothing I love more than Star Wars... although owning a pony is a close second. I've been finding a lot of great and funny Star Wars pictures. I figured I would share them with you. Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then!
