Here’s a fun little site. It shows you how popular people’s names are now, and how popular they were in the past. In other words, if you type in “Bertha” the graph peaks in like the 1920s and goes down to 0 today, while there were almost no “Madisons” 20 years ago but there are a ton today (Johnny peaked in the late 40s). So type in your name and see when it was “kool”. The best part about it, though, is that it’s called the “Baby Name Wizard NameVoyager”, which is totally sweet. Enjoy!

At least some of your photos. I accidentally erased the Altar Boys and the Kingdom’s photos before I realized I hadn’t posted them yet. Damn! Anyways, pics are up of the other teams that won the week before Christmas. There are also pics of my Christmas vacation, which include me rocking the mic, my potential future wife, and us busting my mom lip synching.

My New New Year’s Resolution is to not talk about Anthony Dimeo for the remainder of 2007. I have a number of goals set for 2007, and he has nothing to do with any of them, so I am done with this thing we’ve had going for a couple of years. Of course, if he does something completely outrageous, I might have to reconsider.

After getting involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in 2006, I realized that so many of the guys who play quizzo would make great role models for the young people of Philadelphia. Then, when I heard that there is a critical shortage of Big Brothers in the program (the waiting list for Little Brothers who want a positive male rodel is rather long), I felt the need to do something. (While we may look for more Big Sisters in the future, it was felt that right now the biggest demand is for men in the program.)

After meeting with several people from BBBS, we agreed on a reasonable goal: I want to get 100 males involved by the end of the year. Of course, it will be impossible without your help. I will have more details on the program and how you can get involved later in the week. This program has become an extremely positive part of my life in the past year, and I want it to be a positive part of yours as well.

Dunno if you read the comment left under the Year in Review November, but I will quote it here, then offer my reaction. It is in reference to this:
Be advised that your above reference to Mr. DiMeo in the City Paper awards was done purely out of humor on the part of A.D. Amorosi of the Philly City Paper and was NOT actually part of the CP Awards. Thus the reason it was not published and only posted online.

For you to state this as if it were a material fact, is not accurate. The City Paper has recently clarified that it was indeed posted online only for humor and meant no harm to anyone involved. It has since been complely removed by City Paper, yet you seem to mislead your audience into thinking it was actually part of the CP awards.

We request that you add clarification to your online statements and remove the innacurate statements completely.

If you wish to discuss this matter, feel free to contact me directly at (215) 399-1346, as I am currently representing, Mr. DiMeo as Plaintiff in other related litigation.

Thank you.

Mine are as follows:
1) Get better organized. That is my resolution every year, and it doesn’t usually work out so well.
2) Get back into comedy, and record at least one rap song.
3) At some point during the year, have a date #2 (with the same person date #1 was with, if possible.)

And of course there is the one that I will be filling you in on shortly, since you will be helping me with it. Anyway, post your New Year’s Resolutions below and I’ll be back in the early afternoon.

A quick reminder for all responsible males in the area who want to do their part to make Philly a world class city: I’ve got your New Year’s Resolution covered. I am undertaking the most ambitious project of my life and I will not succeed without your help. I don’t need your money, all I need is a little bit of your time to achieve the lofty goal I have set for myself. I will have more details at the start of the New Year.
