LP-isms.

I miss my brother today.

Don't get me wrong. I've missed him every single day since he left, but it's been one of those days - those days where it just hits you like a brick wall. This was the first day that I've really felt his absence.

Tonight, I realized a number of things he would have done had he been here. He would have:

- Made fun of me for crying during American Idol.
- Begged me not to monopolize the TV with the Penguins/Islanders game.
- Called Crosby a few choice words for still being out with his concussion.
- Farted on me and ran away.
- Eaten 25% of the brownies my mom made.
- Squeezed my arm fat (his favorite thing to do).
- Discussed the upcoming Superbowl with me in great detail.
- Confidently predicted a Packers' win.
- Accused me of loving the Steelers (vomit) because I like the Penguins.
- Hugged me roughly 15 times.

...getting closer to April 22nd all the time. So proud of my buddy.

Sidenote: That picture is horrible and five years old. I apologize for subjecting you to it, but it had to be done. It is being used only to demonstrate my long-standing Packers' solidarity with my broski. Can't wait to hear the band-wagoners after their Superbowl win Sunday. Think happy thoughts.

Other sidenote: We had some serious balls that night. We were at a Bengals' home pre-season game. Hecklers had a field day with us, but that's alright...
