Test 1

Hello everybody this is a test. This is a photo of me with the Stanley Cup.

Hi World!

Hi to the rest fo the world

Sorry I haven't written in like forever. I just got home from working a double at the T.V. station. This is day 4 or 8 in a row! I love my life. The good news is things are really starting to happen at Amore. We have some great guests lined up, and it was my co-host Shelly's 24th Birthday on Sunday. This past week was an interesting one socially. I'll explain more later. I hope you all had a great weekend. Remember there's no game like the game of love. Sometimes, it can play tricks on you. So be careful when you play...

Observations of a Girl’s Bedroom

I was told once (by a girl that I was dating) that a girl’s bedroom is a private place, and that you shouldn’t go in unless invited. From my observations over the years of having found myself ending up time and time again in many girls’ bedrooms (as was the case this past weekend) I’ve observed that most all of them were very similar.

You can e-mail me and tell me if I am wrong on this but here goes my observations of a girls’ bedroom.

When you first walk in most all will have the following, a bed with lots of pillows on it. More often then not it will be a light colored bedspread. There will be a bookshelf of sorts, on that bookshelf will be some of last semesters college text books, and if room in front of the books or on a shelf of it’s own will be some stand up frame photos of the lucky girl with some of her friends as well as a few family photos. But that’s not the only place you will find photos. There will be a frame or two on the wall (a montage of sorts) more of the same kind of photos. The same type you would often see on her MySpace profile. Now over to her small dresser you will find a doily with a tray oftentimes a mirror will sit at the base of the tray and on the tray you will find many types of perfumes (most girls who like to go out stock two to three brands, Victoria’s Secret being one of them), skin lotions, and a basket of makeup. Near that tray will be a small box where she keeps her jewelry. From the mirror on the dresser will hang lots of dangling things like a cheap plastic flower leis, and Mardi Gras beads she got on Cinco de Mayo at that local dive bar down the street. Of course any girls’ bedroom wouldn’t be complete without that pink sports team hat also hanging from the corner of the mirror. Now let’s work our way back to her bed. Because near the bed will be a nightstand. On her nightstand is where she will put her cell phone for the night as well as all jewelry she was wearing that except a necklace that she will decide to leave on while you two make love. You are allowed to take your watch off and put it there because your watch is big and bulky and after all if your hands are under her it may break. Included in the first drawer of the nightstand/phone table is all her “private things,” such as: condoms, lube, vibrators, birth control (if not found on top of the nightstand will sometimes be found in the bathroom), high school/ college photos of ex boyfriends and past love letters. That is the most sacred drawer in the room. Never let her know you looked in, even if you may have while she got up out of bed to use the bathroom or take a shower. Though most of her clothes will be in the dresser or hanging in the closet there will always be a few articles on clothing on the floor. These are semi-dirty clothes, meaning she can wear them again, but already has for less then a day so it’s too clean to put away and not dirty enough to wash. Speaking of the closet, here you will find the shoes, and lots of them, from high heels, and sneakers, to sandals and casual shoes (Puma, Sketchers, etc.) One pair will be outside the closet on the floor. Included in the closet you will find all her dress clothes as well as blouses hanging, mixed with closes from yesteryear that she is planning on, “fitting into again this summer when she goes on a diet.” On the top shelf in the closet you will find some folded blankets that she never uses, as well as a few stuffed animals or two, one being her childhood tag along and the other an ex gave her on Valentine’s Day from three years ago.
Even though girls’ rooms are so typical of each other. I am always amused every time I enter one, and there not as sacred as most will have you believe, rather there is no other place I would rather spend most of my time, because when you enter her room you enter a whole new world. Her world, the world she invites you into and lets you be apart of. A world only a few lucky guys in her life will be able to enter. Enjoy it while you are there. I know I do. Can you tell?

Maineiacs win President's Cup

Anyone who knows me and knows me well knows I am a big hockey fan. My hometown of Lewiston, Maine is home to the first Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team. This past week they won the championship called the President's Cup. I had the pleasure of waiting with hundreds from my hometown to see their bus in. Here I am pictured with the President's Cup. Later that night the staff took the cup to our local dive bar, and needless to say a bunch of townies including myself poured beer in and drank out of it!

Always an adventure...even at the classiest of restaurants

With Eric Agren owner of Fuel

Being the socialite that I am often I will be invited to events, openings, and get togethers. As was the case the past two nights. Tonight I had dinner with my cousin and several friends at a new upscale restaurant/wine bar in my hometown called Fuel. The drinks, food, and service was out of this world not to mention all the very pretty girls working their. Oh, and did I mention there was one blonde with the most amazing blue eyes wearing a little black dress. As I was chatting with a patron he said to me, "There's my future ex-wife." Oh if only you girls reading this know what the little black dress does to a guy. I love blonds, but he did have a point. They're dangerous. Remember I'm only 27 and I was the youngest person at our table but for some reason with two Gilbert's a game of "butt darts" broke out. We were the last table there but for some reason everybody sitting at the bar was envious of our little game. As we applaud each other after we somehow would drop a quarter from our butt cheeks into a glass on the floor filled with water.

Weekend Fun!

One of the perks (if you want to call it that) of being a socialite is having a key to the owers box at Liquid Blue, my favorite club in Portland. Of course as you can see here somehow my sister snuck in, and then attempted to kiss me. Which of course she knows I hate... Drinks anyone?

Amore Social Club podcast

Here we are Shelly and Laurent (no I don't always refer to myself in third person, but it seemed appropriate for this) the Amore Social Club, " The Podcast That Flirts with Love" If you listen you'll find out what a 23 year old bad girl and a 27 year old nice guy have in common... and what they don't have in common.

Brighten My Day!

The top photo is from a Playboy party a few years back. The other photo is of myself with the former Miss Maine USA Katee Stearns and the current Miss Maine USA Erin Good. We were all special guests at Amore photographer Thomas Hopkins barbq last summer.

So I was going through some old photos today to load onto my Flickr that some friends have been asking me about, and I came across a couple from the past few years I thought I would share with you to brighten your day... ok, nevermind brighten my day. It's April and yes I know I live in Maine, but as I lookout my bedroom window I see it is snowing. I hate snow. Please stop.

I'm Back!

I promise I will keep up with this blog. Let's see it's been over a year since I've written. I'm always late for everything, so I guess doing the blog thing is no different.
