Hey Everybody!!

So, right after our fabulous tour with our new best friends, The Medic Droid and A Cursive Memory, we got to have a little time off, about 3 1/2 weeks. This is the first time we've been off since about September. It's been so awesome so far. I decided to update the journal and tell you guys a little bit of the stuff I've been doing since we've been home. I come from a big Italian family, kinda like that movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" just its "My Big Fat Everyday Italian Lifestyle" haha. When I get home from tour my family is usually always at my house, and I don't mean my direct family, I mean my extended family. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, all there to welcome me home and shovel as much food down my throat as I'll allow. It's always the same too, "oh Justin, you look like a stick bug, did you eat on tour!?!". So, they all welcomed me home with a big dinner, it was very nice. OHHHH and this is funny, they all found out that The Morning Of has ringtones now, so everytime one of them would get a call I'd hear "Lord get me outta this city tonight..." hahaha. Even tho I'm making fun of them, I love my family and I feel completely blessed to have them in my life.

I decided that since I'd be home for a little I shouldn't be lazy and I should work. My brother Gregg, works a title insurance agency called Land Guard Title, so I started working there. My boss's there were named Lou and Kevin, and I worked with my brother Gregg, this dude named Matt, and these 3 beautiful women named Sam, Leslie, and Tina. This office is exactly like the show The Office, haha. Everyone has such a funny personality and it's just always such a fun place to work. I spent 2 weeks there and it was a blast.

My best friends and I invented a game called Sockey. haha, its a mixture of Hockey and Soccer. We take a soccer ball and we play soccer on a street hockey rink. It is extremely fun and crazy, its fast paced and it can get a little violent. We've been playing almost everynight. One thing is for sure, the Agresta brothers bring it. Oh and theres another thing thats for sure, Prescott is a ball hog. One night we were playing and these hockey players tried to tell us to leave. When we didn't, they called the Park's and Rec's lady on us, she came out on the rink while we were playing and she grabbed our ball and PUNTED it into the woods!!! After we disposed of her body..(just kidding!) we left and 18 cops stopped us! Yes, I didn't make a typo, 18 cops stopped us. They told us it's a hockey rink not a Sockey rink and that we must give it up to hockey dudes when they need it. Go figure, good clean fun being hated on by the local fuzz.

I've also been making up for lost time with my wonderful girlfriend. It's so nice to have more then a couple days here and there to just relax and cuddle and watch Seinfeld together. She cooks for me too. She is wondeeeeeeeeeerful.

I decided I should include a video or something to basically sum up my time home, so here it is.
