i have a mosquito bit on the top of my left foot that has caused it to become fully swollen and itch like a maaw fucka…

im currently being a big baby about it…

oh ma god…IT ITCHES

last night was my godparents (aka darios parents) 25th anniversary party…as you can imagine there was a large amount of italians and food…here are a few of the highlights…

dad and i are mostly the anit social ones of the bunch…we make up for my mothers over social-ness…she gets a little too excited…at least i look hot…these are our “Rossi Faces”…its a trademark…only people in our family make the face right…

…

OK WARNING – dead pig roasting pictures coming up…

ahhh my santolo (godfather) with a dead pig roasting over a pit…needless to
say all the men were drooling at the sight of meat and manliness…

dario cutting the pig – nice head shot – dario said he felt like such a man carving the pig…

aww famiglia sans my brother…but we got a bottle of wine in there so that pretty much makes it complete…who do i look more like? I hella say my dad but now more people say my mom…

HAHAHA omg best picture of dario ever…after stuffing his face full of pig…

aww arent we adorable! my mother bagged for a normal picture of us and not a ‘stupid face blogger picture’…i think this is actually the only picture in history where we are both looking at the camera and have a decent smile…

chad makes friends easily…this is jim…he wants everyone to be an accountant…he got wasted last night…omg…hilar…

the ‘children’ all sat down for some booze…and by the end of the night we were the party…champagne in one hand…wine in the other…thats how you do it foos…

since chad is not a very italian name we renamed him last night to caesar which doesnt sound italian but you have to hear me say it with the proper accent…then it works… caesar ciavarro…now when we got to italy i will be able to introduce him appropriately…

my father was playing ‘boss’ last night…pulling a tony soprano…most of the conversations were based around discussing certain episodes and characters…obsession much!? i think we all are…

this is his paulie walnuts impression…you need to watch the sopranos more so you understand all the inside sopranos jokes around here…and just like in the sopranos…never call my dad T…unless you are consigliere…

my santola (godmother) boozing it up….WAIT A MINUTE…i’ve seen this before….

…

OH RIGHT…a week before her son took the exact same picture…

run in the family much???

whoa…too many pictures in the last post…

chad, dario and i were talking the other day…sitting around the pool…relaxing after a day of work…about where we are in out lives compared to other people…

all these peeps from high school add me to facebook and whatnot…and i read their profiles and look at their pictures and they are all hanging out with the exact same people they did in high school and everyone is still best friends and they still think they are the coolest people ever…

it seems like no one has changed…everyone is still the same…in the same spot…just the same…

i know that i am nothing like i was in high school…thank god for that…

and sometimes i look at myself…and i look at what i have accomplished and i realize that ive done a lot so far…i never give myself credit for it cause i always think ‘well of course i should be able to do that’…i always think im so tough…

i went to school…i got a degree…and a month later i got the exact position i was looking for with an amazing company…

i think that is a great accomplishment…

and now what is the next big adventure…renovations…my god…

im 22 and i am project manager in renovating an entire condo from top to bottom…what am i thinking!!!

i am substituting fun, parties, relaxation, and a tan for stress, frustration, long nights, hard work, and im sure there will be some fights in there some where…

but i guess thats the difference right there…while the rest of my friends are traveling the world and going off and having fun…i am sacrificing a little now to be ahead later…

either im crazy…or im smart…

right now im just loosing my mind…

robyn was right

life has been strange

and it doesnt look like its going to change

just…strange
