Bdoff's Happy Fun Gay Times Returns

So I'm sitting here watching the World Series game 4 right now and I thought I'd drop by and drop you all a line. I'm getting a little concerned however because its the end of the third inning, Boston is up 3-0, they have a 3-0 series lead, and there is still no sign of Babe Ruth. Now I know Babe Ruth is dead....I'm referring to his curse of course. Those of you whom are baseball fans know what I'm talking about. But for those of you whom aren't, allow me to elaborate. Back in 1918, the Boston Red Sox were the most dominant team in Baseball, thanks to their pitcher and power hitter, Babe Ruth. However, a sudden and shocking trade sent Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees organization. Ever since that trade, the Yankees have had tremendous success and Boston....well Boston has choked.....A LOT! Some say it's just been a string of bad luck, and a very long string at that. Others however say that the spirit of Babe Ruth has been plaguing the Red Sox for all these years, and that is why they have failed to win a World Series. What makes it even more interesting is that they've had their chances. It seems like every year they are in the playoffs and three times since 1918 they have made the World Series itself. However, they never fail to amaze their fan base with a new way to screw it all up. But like I said, maybe it is out of their control. Maybe the spirit of Babe Ruth is just too powerful. Or maybe the curse has passed. As of right now that appears to be the case. Allow me to explain my theory. Lets think about this for a moment. What would happen if a counter curse hit Boston? What am I talking about you ask? Well allow me to explain. What would happen if Boston made an aquisition and actually benefited from it. Well that alone would not be a big deal, because their is always someone who benefits from a trade. But what if this person that they acquired possessed a curse of their own. This in turn would take over the curse in Boston and turn Babe Ruth's curse into positive energy, therefore resulting in a World Championship within a couple years. The new, more powerful curse would of course take it's negative effects on the team that traded or got rid of the particular player. So where the hell am I going with this you ask? Well don't get your panties in a bunch. Let me finish. Manny Ramirez. He is the key to this whole mess. You see once upon a time good ole Manny played for the Cleveland Indians, and they had some success. They had a string of 6 consecutive years where they made the playoffs and did pretty well, making the World Series two of those years. Unfortunately, John Hart left the organization for Texas and this other asshole came in and started running the show like he was.....ok so maybe he was the one who was supposed to be running the show. My point is, before I knew what hit the franchise, Manny was gone and in Boston. He didn't completely leave however. He left his curse behind, which as far as I'm concerned is much worse than Babe Ruth's curse. What am I getting at? Well folks you heard it here first.....the Cleveland Indians are the majors new cursed team. Forget about the Boston Red Sox. They are on the verge of winning their first world championship in 86 years. It's the Cleveland Indians...and it could be a long time before they are singing "Cleveland Rocks" on the shores of Lake Erie. My guess is 200 years....well past my lifetime. However, if somehow the Red Sox find a way to lose this World Series, everything I've ranted about has been worthless and I just wasted 20 minutes of my life. Until next time.......

Is the curse of Babe Ruth fo real? Is the curse of Manny Ramirez fo real? Fo shizzle? My nizzle? What the crap am I talking about? Find out next time...same gay time...same gay place.

HEY FOLKS! Long time no post. Well Ive been really really busy lately, but things are starting to calm down here a bit. That is why Im finally back with you all, posting like I always wish I could. Unfortunately that force, known as THE MAN, has kept me from you for a month or two. Seriously, THE MAN is really pissing me off lately. College really sucks for a start. Then there is work, which always sucks, but getting paid is a necessity. Maybe if I have time I can still fit in some golf, but I dont bet my life on it. Seriously, I cant wait for these "glory days" aka college to be done with. They are so stressful and even though I only go two days a week, lets remember Im taking 18 credit hours which just blows. Just to give you a clue as to how stressed I am, I have provided some pictures for you to look at. These pictures provide you with visuals of my post school activities, and how I go about dealing with the stress of college. Unfortunately, Im a dumbass and I posted all the pictures backwards. So look at the last picture first, the second to last picture second, and so on. Be sure to read on after them for I have more to rant about....

After all my post school activities, I fall asleep....finally the end of a long ass day. Unfortunately, I have to do it all again the next day. What is the point of life again?

After Im done yanking all my hair out, I usually calm down and watch tv. The tv is to the left of me there...its what Im looking at. It really helps to ease my pain.

This is the second thing I do after a long day at school. Usually after my headache subsides, I get really pissed and I start to yank my hair out. Luckily I have strong roots!

This is the first thing I do everyday when I get home from school. After a long stressful day, I lay down on my bed and ponder why the crap I put myself through so much pain and suffering. Then I usually realize that I have a really bad headache, but there isnt a damn thing I can do about it because I dont have any Advil.

Ok....all that put aside lets move on. I have one little rant for tonight. Lately in my Mass Communications class we have been talking about music, and how it influences society. Well our professor time and time again asks us why we think people get so emotional about music, and I never say anything, but I should. Now I don't know exactly why you personally get emotional about words with a flow, aka music, and to tell you the truth I dont know why I do either. But I do know one thing.......todays music is CRAP! Seriously, now adays all one has to do is put a couple of cuss words together, add a beat that a dog's wagging tail can create, and you have yourself a platinum album. Ok...so that applies to rap. What about all that other crap they play on 92.5 and 98.3. Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera.....they shouldnt try to impress people with their music, because it all is crap. Artists like them need to start being able to tell their right from their left.....that would impress me. Seriously now, whatever happened to the days when one would sit down in front of the tube and watch music videos. Do you remember what those were? I'm not talking about a bunch of manwhores dancing around Christina Aguilera in a dark ceiler.....although I didnt mind that one so much for obvious reasons. I'm talking about the good ole 80s videos, when all one had to do was film a man and a woman making out and put it in slow motion. Yeah it was kind of boring, but the music itself always delivered. Being a fan of the 80s, and Billy Joel, Foreigner, Elton John, and Don Henley more specifically, I have to agree that the days of good music are gone, and until agents in todays music industry can look past the mumbling, slutty, incoherant people also known as artists, I will continue to feel that way. Now you know another reason why I get so stressed these days.

Well, I think I've ranted on plenty for tonight. There is plenty more to come soon and I PROMISE you I will try and deliver more often. Hey....look at the bright side of things...at least I deliver more than today's music! Until next time........

Will Brian's stress cause him to get gray hair? Does the music in today's world really suck that bad, or is Brian just in a really bad mood? How many more years will it be before Brian updates again? Find out next time...same gay time...same gay place....

Hello there fellow readers. I want to get something off my chest right away. I know some of you have complained about the quality of the posts lately, and personally I could give a flying fudge. I'm trying my best here so DEAL WITH IT! Sorry about that...ok. There is so much I would like to go off about and I know you all would like to hear it, but I'm going to have to save that for another day for I have better plans for tonight's festivities. It came to my attention last week that I make reference to many people in my life, and some of you haven't the slightest idea whom I'm talking about. So tonight I'm goign to do what no other blog has done before. Ok...so that's probably not true. But it is true to say that I have never done it. I'm going to post nothing but pictures. That's right...using my lastest advancements in picture technology, I'm going to post pictures of my friends, myself, and anything else I feel relevent. Hopefully this will give you all a better idea of who I am and what my life is like behind the scenes here at Bdoff's Happy Fun Gay Times. So without further ado, lets get to the pics........

This here is me...in case you didn't know that. I'm not very photogenic as you can see.

Here is a picture of me on my way home from a waterpark earlier this summer. I got burnt pretty bad that day as you can see.

This is my housemate at the moment, Aaron Laird. He can be more of a bitch than my mom at times, but he is usually pretty nice to me.

This here is Hollywood Bryan Bockbrader. This is the kid that goes to school out in L.A. and is going to make it big someday. At least that's what he says........

This is my good friend, Scott Shiffert. A lot of people thinks he looks like Stiffler from the American Pie trilogy. Personally, I think he looks hung over though.

This is another good friend of mine, Bryn Metcalf. He thinks he is all buff, but I could take him.....

This is a picture from my freshman year at UT. That's me on the left of course, my good friend and sophomore roommate Aaron Sarver, and our other friend from ole Eastwood High, Shelly Fox.

This is a picture of our living room and my other housemate/friend since fourth grade, Scott Sibbersen. As you can see from his gesture, we get along real great.

This is my room in the new apartment. ISN'T THAT 24 POSTER AWESOME?! I got it framed you know.

This is the kitchen in our apartment...I like it a lot. That's all I can say.

This is a nice picture of our Basement. Oh...that's Laird's ass too, but I wasn't taking a picture of that I swear.........

This is another picture of me that I took in our bathroom. Looks like I found yet another way to check myself out in the mirror.

It's that time again! Time for what you ask? Ok so you didn't...but I always like to build things up a bit. So yeah I know some of you out there aren't happy with the quality of the posts lately, and frankly I could give a flying fudge. I'm trying my best here so just BACK OFF! Ok.....I'm sorry...that was a little over the top. However, I have been keeping a mental list of things to go off about and believe me, when the time is right, I will. But with this latest breakthrough in picture technology, I feel I just have to get this post out of the way. Tonight's post is going to be unlike any other I've ever done before. I realized this past week that I always make reference to my friends and how we have all these wild times together, yet some of you have no clue who I'm talking about. Well those days are over my friends. You know longer will be able to use the excuse, "I didn't read/enjoy your blog because I didn't know who you were talking about.", because tonight my friends, I'm going to unofficially introduce you to my best friends, and give you kind of a sneak peek behind the life of myself, the creator of Bdoff's Happy Fun Gay Times, Brian Brough. How am I going to achieve this awesome feat you ask? Well just scroll down and enjoy my friends......I was talking to you when I said my friends by the way....but I want you to enjoy my friends as well, because I've got some good pictures of them....so enjoy my friends....this means YOU!...

I got in a fight with my mom once, probably the only time I've ever gone off on her, and to this day I'm not very proud of it. She ended up calling me a son of a b*tch and I responded with "Well what does that make you then?" Yeah...I got grounded after that one. Anyways, ever since that day, she started posting signs around our house. These weren't your ordinary signs however. I think she took them from her first grade classroom or something. To this day I still dont know what inspires her to post them. Maybe she feels that by me reading them, I will think twice before saying something stupid. And it sucks because she puts them in places where I cant miss them. For example, behind the bathroom door which stands right in front of the toilet itself. So while I sit there taking my Cleveland Steamer, I have to put up with reading these signs...over...and over...and over again. Let me get to the point. She put up a sign this week that was made by a company called Character Counts. It was a poster of a girl golfing and there was a quote next to her. It read....."Play with heart.....win with class.....lose with dignity." - Michael Jacobsen (President of Character Counts) I sat there after reading that and thought to myself what a wonderful quote. Then I had to glance back and see who said it because I couldnt remember. Michael Jacobsen.......PRESIDENT OF CHARACTER COUNTS! What the crap is up with that? Some guy takes his own words, puts them on a poster, calls himself Character Counts Corporation, and makes money off that? Im glad Im a business major, because if business is that easy, I could make millions with some of my stupid quotes. See for yourself.....here are the top five quotes I have ever made....at least the ones I can remember anyways..........

Quote number 5- "Get off my ass you f*cking ass!" - Myself getting mad at a car that was riding my rear in the Best Buy parking lot

Quote number 4- "Do I have something hanging from my nose?" - Myself at lunch with Sarver (When I said it, I whispered it in his ear so that nobody at the table would hear. He couldnt keep from laughing though, and eventually my secert was exposed.)

Quote number 3- "YES! IT WILL BE LIKE MIGHTY DUCKS 3 WHEN THE JV BEAT THE VARSITY!" - Myself senior year of high school- my honors physics teacher came up with the idea of a competition between our class and the conceptual physics class. When I heard about the plan, I shouted that quote out in front of a completely silent class. Not my finest moment, but it gained some laughs.

Quote number 2- "When the going get tough, the Brough get going." - Myself- Ive always used that quote, especially when the tough gets going.

Quote number 1- "If I could hit a drive like that, I'd quit school!" - Myself responding to a drive Ross Lingenfelder hit on number 13 at Tanglewood in eighth grade. To this day I still dont know what the crap I meant by that, and thats exactly why its the number one quote Ive ever made.

Well thats all for today. I hope you enjoyed my top five quotes of all time. If I say anything stupid in the future, Ill be sure to post it. Until next time......

Did Brian's mom really call him an SOB? Does the Brough really get going when the going gets tough, or does the going get Brough when the tough get going? Are you confused by that last question? (I know it boggled my mind.) Find out next time. Same gay time...same gay place. Lata!

Picture of the day....read it closely!

This is the extra picture of the day that I promised I would throw in...this one is funny as well!

This is the picture of the day...I found this funny...I hope you do too!

HEY FOLKS....guess what time it is? No...not Howdy Dudey time....it's Bdoff's Happy Fun Gay Time! Now I know it's been quite awhile since I got into a post and poured my thoughts out like country style gravy over a heaping pile of mashed potatoes, but I feel I still got some creative juice left in my pencil (no perverted pun intended). So first let me go over how things are going to run around here from now on. Everyday I make a post, I will have a picture of the day that will come in the form of another post from that same day. Therefore, you will be getting two posts for the price of one. You get the normal thought pouring post that I've always provided you, and the picture of the day post for the price of the normal thought pouring post. THAT'S RIGHT!! You are getting twice the fun for the price of one! But if you read now, I will even throw in a second picture of the day!! That's the normal thought pouring post that I have always provided my readers with, the picture of the day that I will be providing my readers with from now on, AND a second picture of the day for today's post only! I know how to keep my readers happy. After all, they don't call me a business major for nothing. With that being stressed, lets get started.....

I have left you all hanging for quite sometime and a lot has happened in my life over that time. Heck, I'm practically a new person. I'm hipper, cooler, and more laid back than ever before. Ok...that's not exactly true. If it were, I wouldn't be taking a half hour out of my life on a friday night to type this post up for you. However, things have been changing around here in northwest ohio and I wanted to let you all know about them. Therefore, I present to you the top five events of my summer, all of which have drastically changed my life in one way or the other......or not....either way, you're are going to read them....so deal with it.....

Event number 5- Apartment living- I have lived in a dorm for the past two school years and that was nice. I thought it would be a lot different for me when I was going into my freshman year at UT. I met some people along the way and for the most part I have no complaints. The only thing I regret is not being social. In fact, it took me until the last month of my sophmore year to be somewhat social, and even at that point I would just be considered class C social, with class A being of the most social types and class F being of the stay in your room, pick your nose, masterbat...............too much info....but I use to be a class F. Anyway, I moved into my apartment with two good friends from high school...Scott Sibbersen and Aaron Laird. I have to say so far that it is a lot different from dorm life, and if I had a chance to do it all over again, I would probably pick dorm life. No not because I dont like Sib and Laird, but because when you get an apartment and its not campus housing or near a campus for that matter, you live near a lot of trashy people. Well at least in my case you do......

Event number 4- Party in California- I went on a trip to California with Laird and Aaron Sarver to pick up our good friend Bryan Bockbrader this past June. This trip was a total blast and I will touch more on it later. But event number 4 took place on this trip, and that was the party we went to on the campus of Cal State L.A. the first night we were there. Between a dirty mexican stealing Laird's cigar and smoking it right next to him, me downing three straight shots of captain morgan and everyone staring at me in awe like I was some big drunk, and a bunch of hawiian kids in the kitchen cooking up a storm, I'd say it was one of the highlights of the trip.

Event number 3- July 3rd party at Bock's- Bockbrader threw his annual 4th of July party this past July 3rd, and the turn out was better than ever. I saw a lot of people from high school that I hadn't seen in forever. So what better way to show them I'm a new person then to get.......COMPLETELY WASTED. I mean, I never knew I had it in me. 60% of me is ashamed, but the other 48% of me wants to do it again. I held convos with people that I completely hated in high school, and had I been sober I probably would have left the party since they were there. But at the time I felt like a million bucks and could have cared less. I even called everyone in my phonebook, and most of Sarver's phonebook as well. Heck, I even got a call back from my RA, James, stating that I called him and left him an interesting voicemail. And to top it all off, I threw up five times the next day and had to go to work at 10 in the morning.....moral of the story....getting completely wasted once may just be enough, but there is nothing wrong with getting tipsy....

Event number 2-Jay Leno show in Cali-The event title pretty much speaks for itself. The only show I would like to see in person more than the Jay Leno show is 24, and since they dont have live tapings of that show (thank god), this is the best I could hope for. The guests sucked on the show we saw, but the headlines made up for Marlon Waynes, Jesse James, and Hoobastank, or should I call them Hoobastink! Seriously, if I hear the Reason on 92.5 or 98.3 one more time, I'm going to uninstall my radio player in my car and drive in complete silence.

And finally...Event number 1-Dodgeball premeire-Imagine yourself getting tickets to the Dodgeball premeire...walking side by side with Vince Vaughn down the red carpet....free drinks...free popcorn...and to cap it all off, getting your picture taken with some of the biggest stars in show business. Well you may have to imagine that my friends, but for myself, it became a reality! That's right...every word of that happened to me and I swear to god himself I'm not making it up. Bock sure knows how to hook some good friends up when they come out to L.A. So if you want to be his friend and possibly have that same experience next year, come to his next party/bonfire on August 6th....this one just may make the top five...we shall see....

Well I think this should pretty much get you caught up on where I stand in life right now. As you can see it has been a pretty eventful summer, and with school right around the corner I'm going to go salvage what I have left of it. Until next time.....

Did Brian really walk side by side with Vince Vaughn at the Dodgeball premeire? Did he really throw up 5 times after Bock's fourth of July party? Does he realize that 60% and 48% doesn't equal 100 %? We will find out next time...same gay place...same gay time!

I know...Im obsessed..ONLY 5 MORE MONTHS!!

So I know I haven't posted in quite some time....ok it has been pretty much the whole summer but I can explain. You see for the first third of the summer I was at home and I was spending most of my time getting ready for California, which was a blast by the way. Then the second third of the summer I was really busy moving into my new apartment, which is on route 20 between Perrysburg and Stony Ridge if anyone cared. So now that school is right around the corner and the last third of the summer has begun, I figure it is time to get my fingers typing again and give you all something cool to read for once. I guess I have been gone to long though because blogger.com has added a lot of features and I have to be honest I may be in way over my head. But once I get this thing figured out I got a feeling it's going to be awesome. Not only can I change the color of my text, but I can send pictures as well. I have already sent an awesome picture just as an experiment. I think it came up as another post from today, so you can check it out. One last thing before I wrap up for today...I plan on cutting down the lengths of my posts....that way I will probably post more often. I know this post sucks but I didnt really plan on writing anything tonight, and this is more of an experiment than anything. But I promise that later this week I will post many great stories from this summer. Until next time....

What great stories does Brian have in store for us? Will Brian ever be able to figure this new blog out? This post sucked....has Brian lost all his creative juice? Find out next time...same gay place...same gay time.

Look at this badass...boy I can't wait till January!!

Phase 2 update......It's been a while and for that I appologize. Lets just say its been a long three weeks or however long its been since I last posted. Allow me to summarize.....pretty much between final exams, moving out of the I house, 24, a worm taking over my computer, and masterbating (wink, wink), I just havent been able to find time to update my gay times. But dont fret, because Im finally on summer vacation, and you know what that means. Well yes....the girls of northwest ohio do show a little more skin and therefore appear hotter than ever, but thats not what Im referring to. I was referring to the fact that I have more time on my hands and as of now the plan is to update as much as I can. So without further a do, I would like to get started on a long past due post............

Something happened a couple weeks ago that I wanted to write about so badly, but I either couldnt find the time or the motivation to do so. So even though this event happened three weeks ago, Im going to talk about it anyways. This particular event took place in my film class. Im sitting in the back of the room being the quite being that I am, when all of a sudden I see this fat chick walk in. As she walked in I couldnt help but notice that her pants were halfway down her ass and she was wearing one of those tight shirts that revealed her stomach. Quite frankly it was disgusting as hell, and you all have heard me go on this rant before so Im not going there. Anyways, as she sat down I caught a glimpse of something that was even more disgusting, her thong. Right as I was going to spew, the professor walked in and started to lecture, so I held it. So during the lecture the professor starts to talk about things that might direct our interest away from a particular movie. For example....the environment we are in, actors we may not like, etc. So this fat chick with the thong raises her hand and says.....I ABSOLUTELY HATE EVERY MOVIE KEVIN BACON IS IN! The professor replies with a, "Well why's that?" Fat chick: "WELL BECAUSE I SAW HIM IN HOLLOW MAN AND EVER SINCE I HAVE JUST BEEN FREAKED OUT BY HIM!" That's when I jumped up and said, "YOU KNOW WHAT! I HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT AS WELL! JUST IT WASNT ABOUT KEVIN BACON, IT WAS ABOUT GIRLS AND THONGS! YOU SEE, I SAW THIS FAT CHICK WALK INTO MY FILM CLASS ONE DAY AND SHE WAS WEARING A THONG! NOW EVERYTIME I SEE A GIRL IN A THONG, HOT OR NOT, I CANT HELP BUT IMAGINE WHAT A DISGUSTING SIGHT IT WAS....THAT FAT CHICK IN THE THONG! WAIT...COME TO THINK OF IT....IT WAS YOU!!!!!" Ok ok....so I didnt say that, but my point is fat chicks, and fat chicks ONLY, keep your blubber where no one can see it. The world is a better place without having to see your fat ass cracks and rolled over stomaches. Thanks you.

So summer is finally here and I must say Im not as happy as I thought Id be. Last year I was more than happy to get out of the A house due to the fact that I didnt know ANYONE in that building the entire year. The same was almost true this year, as my only link to the outside world was Aaron Sarver and Matt Nabors, my high school buddies who just happened to be my roommates this year. Ok ok....so we set that up, but the truth is I wasnt all that social with my floor. That is until the last two weeks. Im still not sure what triggered it, but all of a sudden I became more social with people on the floor I only recognized, and they became more social with me. Right now it kinda sucks, because there were all those people that I coulda shared more time with, and I opted not to until the last two weeks. I really dont know where Im going with this. I guess I just wanted to give them all a shout out, and if you lived on my floor and talked to me more than once during the last two weeks of school, you are included in this, and let them know that it wasnt the fact that I didnt like you, it was just the fact that I was afraid to get to know you. And now that the school year is over, I hope you keep in touch and let the dirty north live on forever!!

So the past month has been really tough for me to swallow when it comes to television and movies. For example, Ryan Chappelle was killed in 24. That was devistating for me. I mean, what did that guy ever do to anyone?....besides be an asshole of a boss. Another scene that really hurt to watch was the scene in The Punisher where his family gets murdered gang style. All these however dont even come close to my all time most disturbing scene in a movie or television show. What is it you ask? Well calm down and let me tell you. This particular scene comes from the original Home Alone. If you recall, right before Michael Jackson's boy toy is about to take down the robbers, he makes himself a nice macaroni and cheese dinner. However, right as he is going to dig in, the clock strikes nine and he is forced to go prepare himself for home invasion instead of eat. As a result, the delicious plate of mac and cheese is left sitting on the table all by its lonesome. OMG.....it hurts just to think about. Serously, I know Im obsessed with food, and mac and cheese in particular, but who leaves a perfect plate of microwavable mac and cheese behind? I always wondered what happened to that plate. Did he go back and eat it later? Did he give it to the birds the next morning? God only knows. All I know is that that is the most disturbing scene Ive ever seen, and my god have mercy on his soul for not eating it!

Well folks thats all for tonight! I hope to update later on this week, but who knows if Ill have enough to talk about by then. After all, its summer time which means my life in terms of interesting events is at an annual low. Until next time......

Will Bdoff actually have a profound effect on fat chicks in thongs, or will they continue to wear what they please dispite his aggressive protest? Does Bdoff really miss his fellow dirty northerners, or is he just saying that to make himself look good? Is Bdoff a huge moron for ranting on about a dish of mac and cheese from a movie? Find out next time...same gay time, same gay place.
