POST NUMERO 27: Post Numero 1...again!!!


HELLO READERS, I decided to Repost my first post ever!...I am getting more subscribers everyday so I might as well give a refresher on who I am...So WOAH, mind trip...flash back...here is my first post from a while...

OH and expect another post soon...and if you have already read this post (which I bet you all have because when stumbling across a random ass blog on the internet I KNOW everyone automatically goes to the first post every made)...reread it and bask in my awesomeness...

POST 1

So why am I writing this “thing”. I really can’t even call it a blog…you will see when reading it that it is more of a huge thought on paper. One huge unending ramble that seems to make sense and yet doesn’t all at the same time. In fact, now that I truly think about it, I really am not that great of a writer.  Most my writing sounds like a mixture of conversation from a chatroom and a third grade book report. You will see classic chatroom and messaging lingo such as “…” and “haha” in this blog as well as typos, lack of grammar, and words I think are real but in fact are not. I got the idea to write a blog from basically everyone around me (mostly my best friends and those who laugh at my pain). It started out as a way to put into words my life and the happenings around me; this however is far from a journal. I will try and keep this as far from a tacky MTV scripted show as possible. I began writing this through my late-teens into my mid-twenties and have taken many pauses along the way for various reasons (most stemming from pure unadulterated laziness).  What I present however is what I feel is an accurate description of the world according to my eyes.

I bet you, the "reader", just rolled your eyes and went, “Well who the hell are you to give me a description of the world…your not famous or blabbity blah…blahblah blah…blah blah…!” Well true I am not famous. I am not a celebrity. I do not know any celebrities. In fact, I am so far removed from fame that I should basically call myself the “anti-famous” (sounds like a term that deserves jazz-hands...try it, say “anti-famous” with jazz-hands). Odds are many of you did not do the jazz-hands, your loss....
SO! onward we go...

Introductions are a curious literary tool. A blog like this seems to have a need for one, yet the whole grandeur of an introduction strikes me as essentially pointless. While I suppose some people will read these lines, I can not help but feel that most will do it out of sheer politeness....
∙Ok, So who am I?

The classroom/ dating site description:

Hi!, My name is Matteo Torre, I am ____ years old. I like music and musical theater. I enjoy playing sports especially soccer. I have one older brother whom I am very close with and whom people have always mistaken as my twin. My parents are amazing. I have no pets but I always wanted a dog. If I had a dog I would call him basil (like the herb). I went to University where I majored in Italian and Education as a Social Science. One day I hope to teach third grade. I am catholic and go to church regularly. I grew up in New Jersey. My favorite food is pasta with pesto sauce and simple chicken cutlets breaded lightly with breadcrumbs. I am not at all adventurous with food and like my meat cooked thoroughly through and well done (not bloody, red, or pink…I like to know it is good and done). I have a severe sweet tooth and love snacking in between meals. My favorite season is early fall because that’s when you can truly see the beauty of nature all around you. I enjoy fall because it is when the weather is warm during the day and brisk at night. My least favorite season is spring because I find it too wet and damp. I love television and I spend a lot of time on the internet. I enjoy literature and reading. My favorite television show would be Jeopardy and my favorite genre of music is jazzy-pop-funk. My favorite books are those of the scary mystery genre. I love running on the beach.

^so pleasant it should make your teeth hurt
The resume description:

Matteo Torre: My academic and professional goals are to follow in my parents’ footsteps by becoming a teacher and teaching in an urban setting.  Furthermore, I wish to become an active mentor in the lives of young people and parents alike.

^so professional it should make you want to hire me right away...then again the name of this blog is "tales from the bottom of a shot glass"...so VERY professional...

The real description:

Hi, my name is Matteo Torre. I pretty much dislike everyone. I really like show tunes and I sing along to almost any song I can. I can’t stand watching sports unless they are big events like the World Cup or the Olympics. When people talk to me about sports I repeat to them what they are saying only rephrased so they think I know what I am talking about. I love animals and always wanted a dog but I could never handle the responsibility. I am allergic to cats and they cause my eyes to go all funky and my throat to close. I curse A LOT!  I really dislike everyone. When people talk and I don’t know the topic or don’t care I either bullshit my way out of it, or dub it over into something more interesting. I am a master at getting my way and I enjoy calling myself a self proclaimed con-artist. I am awesome at life. I can’t stand people whom are self proclaimed “edgy”, “trying to make a statement”, or “different on purpose”. I enjoy being normal. I can NOT stand people who talk about politics, or people who spew propaganda crap. My favorite books are the Harry Potter series and I will reread them to the day I die.  I judge everyone, I am judgmental, I tend to jump to conclusions, and usually I have a knack for being right. I love brushing my teeth. I can’t stand when people pronounce my name wrong and then are able to pronounce names twice as hard as mine. I hate liberal bull crap. I strikeout completely with the ladies and have as much game as a rain cancelled baseball tournament. I call people out on the bullshit they say but I do not like talking to new people. I am conniving. Don’t challenge me on shit.

^haha wow I am a complete jackass

The check list version of me:
  • Name: Matteo Torre
  • Age:
  • I am Italian
  • I am epileptic
  • I hate everyone
  • I am terrible with names
  • I can’t stand politics
  • I am EXTREMELY cheap (spending money literally makes me feel like vomiting)
  • I am flexible (bendy)
  • Liberal crap pisses me off
  • I love to teach
  • I love kids
  • I can’t stand when people give me the time in none number format (fuck you “quarter to six”…just say the damn numbers)
  • I may have anger issues
  • I can’t do math for shit (2+2=39)
  • Some people get a 5o’clock shadow, I get a 5o’second shadow
  • ANYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN WILL HAPPEN TO ME!


So after reading the following you should have a better understanding of who I am, right?
Some of you are for sure going, “WOW what a S.O.B!”, or others might be thinking, “This would be a fun person to have at a party!” Some may even being going, “wow, I never realized that I have the same interest in dental hygiene and hatred for certain ways of saying the time”. If you don’t really have a clue yet of who I am go slowly reread "POST 1” portion of this blog and then stick in for the long run as the rest of this blog will go into detail. If it helps, I for one don’t really know whom I am ::cue the sappy music:: so I can’t really put it into an EXACT definition. Think of me as an inner conscious through out reading this blog. One who is trying to kick the crap out of your own conscious until you close of of the internet. Put yourself in my shoes and know that through out all the freaking happenings in my life I still turned out…fine…alright…ok…ehhhhh.

To you readers…from the moment you start reading…Enjoy!



ANYWAY, this was from months ago...
HAPPY OCTOBER EVERYONE!
CHEERS, SALUTE, CHIN CHIN!!!

more posts coming soon...I promise....

POST NUMERO 25: October Calendar, and a bunch of Useless Knowledge

GOOOOO PINK!!!
FIGHT THE FIGHT!!!
OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!!
TALES FROM THE BOTTOM OF A SHOT GLASS IS GOING PINK!!!!

Alright so October is a huge month filled with really important days, things, and such (and I am being only HALF sarcastic when I say that.)
Firstly, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month which is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart. Yes, ladies and gentlemen.... I do have a heart. So readers…I challenge you to do what you can and spend some time on showing you can help fight the fight! Do it for you, for someone who may have been affected by breast cancer, for their families, and for the future... DO SOMETHING!! It is so simple to give back to the cause... So NO excuses on this one...
It may not just be donating money or volunteering but just go give something back on a real human level.  Give back to someone by dropping off some food at a friend’s house. Or this one is nice…go rent some DVDs or let someone who could use some relaxation borrow your Netflix accountant. Help someone by driving them to an appointment and then just sitting around trying to help them find the crappiest mind numbing magazine in the office. Be a shoulder to cry on, be a pillar of strength, and just make a funny gift basket filled with crap that someone would like. Many women whom who have been affected and there families fall into a terrible rut so sometimes distractions are great (I have went through this first hand). Give the person something to do during treatment sessions. Think  comfortable!!
Think  awesome!!
And Give a little Bit!!
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH...GET INVOLVED WITH THE CAUSE!

What else…
When you think about the month of October do Halloween parties, costumes, and trick-or-treating come to mind? OF COURSE THEY DO, because at the end of October is Halloween…so lets start planning our costumes now…I am debating over two choices…
Hmmmmm…..So yes, October 31st is a big day for some… IT IS HALLOWEEN…I am going to make a “Sloppopotamus Post” Halloween version post…so look out for that coming up…
It is National Marigold Month (Marigold is also the Flower of October)
Columbus Day Was on October 12th. It is the Day where Italian Americans get a parade and the announcers butcher the language to crap…
PLUS OCTOBER IS ITALIAN HERITAGE MONTH! (whoop whoop)…

Then of course…some lesser known knowledge and observances of October..
October is Book Month (Go to your library…pick up a book…an actual book…find a shady spot…and read the hell out of it!)
October is Dental Hygiene Month (I freaking LOVE brushing my teeth)
October is Dessert Month (The irony of this…mixing Dental Hygiene and Dessert)
October is Fire Prevention Month (I am actually a Big fan of fire…so….not so big on the “prevention” of it...)
October is Pizza Month (WHAT WHAT!! Yum)
October is Popcorn Poppin' Month (love all popcorn…except Kettle Corn…Kettle Corn is terrible)

Anyway, Here is the calendar:

In case you are wondering...yes, that is the Devil's actual child...

ANYWAY,
more posts coming soon, Keep Reading!
CHEERS, SALUTE, CHIN CHIN!!
