So, as all of you might know, I am going to New York Comic Con tomorrow as Super Mario. My overweight side kick Yoshi will also be joining me. I cannot wait to see comic book artists do live commissions (drawings requested by fans) and craploads of people in costumes.
Another update is that apparently the whole cast of the “Jersey Shore” will be making a guest appearance at Club Circle again. Perhaps I will join the fist-pumping contest this time…
As many of you may already know, the second season of “Jersey Shore” had arrived in homes last Thursday. The premier was ehhh, but the trailer for the rest of the season? F-ing awesome! However, I don’t really want to talk about the premier. I want to talk about last night’s episode.
I call this segment: “Like, seriously?” [Courtesy of Angelina, the "b*tch of Long Island" and the one on the show that no one likes.]
"Like, seriously?" - Jersey Shore's Angelina
Like, seriously? MTV, you really had to bring back Angelina? Like, seriously. She was in, what, 2 episodes last summer and frankly has no “real” drama to bring to Miami.
And, like, seriously? The so-called “drama” in the last two episodes seem so contrived. I almost feel like the authenticity (if there were any to begin with) of the characters on the “Jersey Shore” is lost due to the feeling of “faking-it” on set. I mean, perhaps, these people really act like this normally. Yet, since I’ve seen them in so many publicity events after Season 1, I just think that everything they’re doing now is even more for TV than before. Plus, Angelina kept saying in the premier that she wanted a “second chance.” Second chance for what, Angelina? To get celebrity status because the rest of the crew did and you didn’t?
Oh and like, seriously? $375 for a pair of crystal-covered sunglasses, Snooki. $375? Really???
JWOWW, a sex shop is your favorite place to pick out “clubbing” clothes? OMG!
And, do all the boys have to wear the same outfit when out? Black tank and jeans? What is this, a ghetto boy band? Like, seriously?
But, like, seriously. Although I don’t really believe the “reality” of this TV series, I am still excited to see what’s going to happen. The teaser for the rest of the season included Angelina and Snooki punching the crap out of each other and JWOWW and Sammi in a hair-pulling match. Can’t wait!
“Jersey Shore” – Thursdays, 10/9c.

Ronnie from "Jersey Shore"
A “Jersey Shore” update:
Two Saturdays ago, I decided to visit Circle (41st x 5th and 6th ave), a Korean night club in midtown. Aside from the fact that I thoroughly enjoy a club full of Asians—no, my bad, Koreans—I was truly there to see Ronnie from “Jersey Shore”. I had heard that he was at Circle the night before with Vinny and they had such a blast that he was back for one more night of ridiculousness. So, of course, I wanted to witness first-hand the “Jersey Shore” clubbing experience…
Oh, how I got an eyeful of my favorite new dance-move, the “fist pump”. (Don’t forget, you gotta “fight the beat”!) You’ll notice near the end of my filming, I got a little too excited and started doing some bobbing up and down myself…
So, the fist-pumping competition was expected. What I didn’t expect were two little Korean boys bouncing up and down the stage and then one of them ripping off his wife-beater… uhhhhh… uhhhhh… uh—I just won’t say anything further. Nonetheless, the sighting was quite exciting. Unfortunately, as soon as Ronnie finished his fist-pumping routine (and yes, he won the contest), he left.
He walked right past me… less than a foot away. He looked exactly like he did on the show… with one exception: he was SHORT. (No offense to any dudes who are on the shorter end of the spectrum.) In the show, Ronnie just looked so tall, possibly because everyone around him was the same height so I assumed he was tall, but when he passed me at Circle, I sized him up to be about 5’6″-5’7″? If I’m totally off, then I sincerely apologize… but you could barely see him between the two big Circle bouncers that “protected” him from angry Korean boys who were boo-ing him off the stage.
Pulling a "Ronnie" - One-shot
Later that night, I couldn’t keep myself from exposing the “Jersey Shore” side of me, so I fist-pumped and fought the crap out of that beat… so much that I elbowed a guy in the head. I apologized profusely; however, I think he was more interested in keeping conscious after that blow.
One-shot? Oooooooooops……………………………………
All in all, I had a fantastic time!
I’m watching one of my favorite shows “Leverage” and guess what I see as one of the commercials: the B1 Patch—the patch that cures hangovers. Don’t get me wrong, if the patch works, that’s fantastic! I know many people (including myself) that could benefit from it, but the commercial is so ghetto! I thought it was a joke… like someone would come out at the end of the commercial and say “WE GOT CHA!” But no… They were serious…
I mean, LOOK AT THE HORRIBLE ACTING! What is this, a “Jersey Shore” rendition? And these girls don’t look “comfortable” in front of the camera… and, by “comfortable”, I mean “classy”. Okay, I know bars and hangovers are usually set in a less modest setting, but either make it like the “My New Haircut” video (fantastic, by the way!) or one of those Miller or Bud beer commercials. This was neither. I cringed several times when watching it. I didn’t know whether to laugh at its ridiculousness or cry from wasting my time finishing it.
Nonetheless, I can’t just criticize the ad without doing some background check first… So, here are some info from their site:
Here is how it works:
The specially-formulated B1 patch effectively replenishes the vital Thiamine lost when you consume alcohol. By enhancing and restoring your body’s natural defense system, B1 reduces the physical side effects of drinking.
AKA, with more Thiamine in your system, it’ll help you breakdown alcohol more readily, which also means that if you just take Vitamin B1 pills on your own, you’d probably save money as well as get the same effect…
Simply apply this patch to your skin. The B1 patch will not stop you from feeling intoxicated, or buzzed. But it will dramatically reduce negative physical side effects from consuming alcohol. You will absolutely notice fewer symptoms after drinking when you use the patch.
Of course, I also went Googling. I couldn’t find anything medically related, like FDA approval or doctor recommended. Perhaps, this patch is so insignificant that FDA doesn’t care… I’m not sure how the FDA works, so I won’t comment on the legitimacy or healthiness of this patch. Anyways, I did find two funny sites relating to “miracle” hangover cure:
If anyone tried this B1 patch, or knows of anyone who tried it, please let me know! I’d love to hear whether it’s a true success or just another BS scheme.

3 Is The Perfect Number (To “Creep”)
25 FebAside from my obvious obsession with the number “3,” I realized recently that there is a reason 3 is perfect in a going-out (aka “creeping”) setting.
M-V-P: Mike, Vinny, Pauly
First, let me refresh your memory about “creeping.” ”Creeping” is a term that came to popular use through the reality TV show, Jersey Shore,” where M-V-P (Mike the “Situation,” Vinny and Pauly D) go out, meet girls and bring them home with them. The whole process is considered creeping because though the girls out there may know where they will be or what they will be doing, they have no idea that guys like M-V-P will be slowly creeping their way into a “good situation,” if you get what I’m saying.
Of course, “creeping” isn’t exclusive to only men. Girls can creep too. Remember, last Halloween? How I talked about the Creepers of Halloween?
Well, I’ve begun to see a trend in the pack number of “creepers” I find at bars, lounges and clubs. Previously, it had always been a two-person tag team. You wing for me and I wing for you. However, in recent days it seemed going in a 3-person pack garnered the best results.
Let me explain.
As with M-V-P in the “Jersey Shore,” you need your wing(wo)man when you go out. You need someone to hype you up while you pretend to be modest and not self-centered. You also need someone to help you break the ice a bit and “diffuse the grenade” as The Situation would like to call it.
However, if you go with just one wing, once you obtain your target, what’s going to happen with the wing(wo)man? And, even if you’re the one winging it for your friend, you still want to get some action at the end of the night. (Don’t lie. You do.)
Therefore, you need to go with 2 other friends, so when one of the three lands a man/woman, you still have another wing(wo)man to rely on… or just a friend to chat with till your prospect arrives. (More than three will become difficult as people tend to shy away from huge packs.)
Take these examples from a month ago:
Friday night. I went to a birthday party with just another friend. We arrived, settled in and almost immediately honed in on our respective targets. First I winged for my friend and then my friend winged for me. At the end of the night, I realized that my target had no brains, no creativity, no banter—just good looks. Hence, I got bored and turned my full attention to helping my friend “seal the deal.” Unfortunately for me, once I accomplished my job and got the two of them matched up, I had nothing to do. Yeah, I could have talked to a few more potentials, but the bar really didn’t give me much choice. I spent the rest of the time, watching the Knicks vs. Hawks game on TV. (Not my idea of a fun night out…)
Saturday night. I went to Hotel Gansevoort on Park Ave with two other friends. It worked out perfectly because while one of us flirted with the opposite sex, the other two kept each other company and scoured the area for potentials. Basically, we always had a wing with us and never had to succumb to boredom or creepy encounters. (Wait, I take that back. We did get the double-dose of creepiness when one creep tried winging for another creep.) Nevertheless, the night ended with everyone being a winner***!
So, like I said at the beginning of this post, 3 is the perfect number to creep. The weekend is here, so go out, bring your two friends, and have fun!
