Family. Friends. Fun.
That pretty much sums me up right there.
Hello! I’m Vinny, 21 years old and I live in New Jersey. I go to the University of Rowan in New Jersey and I’m a journalism major with a creative writing concentration. My goal is to one day be a sports or video game writer and write for any kind of newspaper or magazine. I love sports, music and video games, without those I don’t know what I would do to keep myself entertained.
I am still a little kid, I watch more cartoons than anyone ever should. I much rather watch that than the ridiculous stuff that is on television now a days.
I still get excited for Christmas. I still wish upon stars. I daydream everyday and dream big, but that’s who I am. I’m just trying to hopefully make it big one day and reach all my goals. Reaching for the stars, but landing on a cloud if I don’t make it. As you can see, I am a dreamer.
I am done!(:

“journalism major, still get excited for Christmas, still wish upon stars, and daydream everyday and dream big, but that’s who I am.”

Cheers,
Bella

You are who you say you are so – I guess that makes you a sports journalist in the making =) Congrats on your blog and taking some first great steps towards attaining your dreams.
Warmly,
Laura
April 8, 2012 at 2:06 am

Hi Vinny, Thank you for liking my post about one month of blogging. I wish you the best in becoming a journalist! We need good people to report what’s going on in the world– sports and otherwise. Never stop getting excited for the more simpler things in life (wishing on stars)!
April 8, 2012 at 11:21 am
Thank you! I’m just being me and being honest, the little things in life really make it all worth it.

Hi Vinny. Thanks for the “Like” on “Help Free BARBIE!” I am glad you enjoyed it. Just so you know…I’m not 20 something, but every 20 something year old I know prefers cartoons and video games to the crap that’s on TV and I think that makes most of you Brilliant! Please change the world one blog at a time.
April 15, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Your welcome and Thank you! Well I am glad that there are others out there, but I don’t know too many!
June 6, 2012 at 10:09 am
There are definitely more of us than you think. Im 21 and I still love my cartoons! :) I even just wrote a post on Hey Arnold. Old school cartoons are the best. I weep for what children have to watch these days.
June 6, 2012 at 11:57 am
Old School cartoons are amazing. I think I will still be like 80 years old and watching cartoons from the 90′s. Kennan and Kel, Hey Arnold, Doug, Rocket Power, Rugrats I can go on forever!
April 15, 2012 at 8:50 pm

Thanks for stopping by. What is your opinion the Toronto Blue Jays?
April 16, 2012 at 12:30 am
Overall as a team? lol I think that they have some good young talent with Lawrie and have some good young pitchers, but they are in a tough division! I also like their jerseys and how they went back to their old logo lol
April 17, 2012 at 8:52 am
Hey Vinny! Thanks again for commenting/following my blog :) Best of luck in becoming a journalist– I used to do a little sports writing for my district in high school! I will definitely be checking out some of your posts.

April 20, 2012 at 7:07 pm

Thanks for checking out my post – i’m pretty green at all this but I’m having a blast! Glad you are young and heart – i love optimistic people! They make the world a better place. I’ll be tuning in often (although I am not “sporty” at all :-)
April 21, 2012 at 12:22 am
Being positive and looking at the bright side of things is the only way to live! Not everyone loves sports dont worry lol
April 23, 2012 at 9:11 pm
Good luck! I am just like you.. daydreaming, hoping to make it big one day (in a different sort of way)… blogging is a good start though I think. :) A lot of bloggers really get noticed or their sites take off and land them a world of opportunities.
April 23, 2012 at 9:20 pm
I hope so I am pretty much just starting off! Thank you so so much. I hope that you get to go wherever you want to go too! lol
April 24, 2012 at 4:24 pm
yo thanks fr dropping by my blog… i hope you achieve your goals! Sports writer? Manchester United all the way :) !!
April 24, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Im not really a big soccer fan! lol That is like the only sport I really don’t follow, but I pretty much follow every other sport besides that :P lol
April 27, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Respect Vinny, Respect.
April 27, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Thank you very much! I think lol
April 30, 2012 at 8:26 pm
I am following your blog. Even though you are a Jets fan. :)
April 30, 2012 at 8:40 pm
I guess I am very lucky then. Hopefully we can put our differences aside! lol(:
May 3, 2012 at 2:15 pm
It’ll be difficult. With my being a Patriots fan and all.
May 3, 2012 at 3:32 pm
Well let’s just hope the Jets beat the Patriots this year, so I won’t have to be mad at you!
May 3, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Well clearly I am NOT hoping for that. Good luck with all that stupid Tebowing.
May 3, 2012 at 3:56 pm
As long as Tebow finds a way to help contribute and help win games, he can do his Tebowing thing all he wants. I’ll be Tebowing right along with him.
May 6, 2012 at 11:17 am
Vinny,
Thanks for stop’n bye. Funny thing about being 20 … “optimism”, I LOVE it. When you get to 64, I’m sure your optimism will be right there … only with a “twist”.
Tellya a “Tebow” story. I’m a Georgia fan, and we played Tebow (Univ of Fla.) every year, so of course I followed his college career. At any rate, I go to Gainesville, Fl. about twice a year and I was there during the playoffs. Went to this sports bar for dinner and they had the Denver game on. Everyone in there had a “Bronco’s” jersey on with Tebow’s #. And that was just one diner. Can you imagine how much $ is gonna be spent for all of Fla. to change up their Tebow garb. Jezzzzzz!
I am not a Tebow fan, but I appreciate his passion for the game, and “good boy image” and guidance to all his fans and people in general.
I hope Denver’s loss is the Jet’s gain.
*Just a note, I was a huge “Broadway Joe” Namith fan.
U B WELL!!!!!
G.
May 6, 2012 at 12:30 pm
I hope I will stay optimistic when I’m still 64! I’m sure I will be yelling at the younger kids running around, saying how easy they have it.
Tebow is a genuine guy. More athletes should be like him and play for the love of the game and not care about the money. If more players played for the love of the game then there would be no Tebow craziness. Tebow is different than the stereotypical athletes, that is why he is so popular. Athletes should be grateful they play the sport that they love for money!
Joe Willy Namith brought the Jets their first and only Super Bowl. I’m obligated to honor him for that lol
May 9, 2012 at 9:14 pm
I see you’re sporting our new favorite team’s colors. :) (Tebow fans) You are so right about tv programming. Our grandkids are being raised on a steady diet of those old shows. Not sure who enjoys them more, the kids or the son-in-law. :)
May 9, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Yes I am a supporter of my team through the good and the bad times, well mostly the bad! I think that I defiantly enjoy those old cartoons more than the younger kids now a days lol(:
May 13, 2012 at 10:29 am
Thanks for the like Vinny :) I like your style of writing, it’s very entertaining…keep up the great work!
May 13, 2012 at 1:19 pm
No problem at all, your post was amazing. Thank very much!(:
May 13, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Aww, thank you…i really appreciate that :)
May 13, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Well you are so very welcome :D
June 11, 2012 at 6:20 am
Hey thanks for the follow!!! First person under 30 I’ve encountered so far =P Followed back – I think I may actually learn something about sports now haha
June 11, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I think you said that a little loud. Everyone over 30 is going to be mad at you now /: lol Sports aren’t that hard to follow, there are ones like tennis and golf where the concept is pretty easy lol
June 11, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Haha oops! No offense intended of course! I guess anyone I’ve ever seen blogging are the 16yr olds all over tumblr lol =)
June 11, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Well I wouldn’t consider them “bloggers” or posting anything besides pictures and stuff, but I know what you mean :P
August 25, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Thanks for the like! Best of luck in your studies! It fondly remember being an undergrad…but standing in the front of the class now, hands and dress stained with chalk even though no one uses it anymore…has given me a new level of appreciation for by gone days of being a young English major! Keep on keepin’ on!
August 25, 2012 at 9:54 pm
Why thank you! I will defiantly keep on keepin’ on lol
August 29, 2012 at 9:28 pm

August 29, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Wow this is awesome! Thank you so much!
September 13, 2012 at 2:03 am
I thought I was the only one watching old shows instead of the new stuff! but I don’t think you and me are watching the same things. I watch Pokemon, Justice League Unlimited…Sailor Moon…. and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh :D
September 13, 2012 at 11:06 am
I still love Pokemon lol I re-beat the old game on my Game Boy Micro over the summer. Don’t worry your not alone there :P lol
September 19, 2012 at 2:25 pm
Cool! You can make it big if you want! Your dreams can drive you.
September 19, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Well I hope that I can achieve all of my dreams. That would be amazing!
September 19, 2012 at 3:53 pm
I’ve achieved a dream or two, so know they are attainable. Keep working toward your goals!
September 19, 2012 at 9:07 pm
I definitely will. That is awesome that you achieved some of yours, gives me hope :D
September 27, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Hey fellow Journo! Thanks for stopping by my post and liking, I did an undergrad in journalism and English and I loved almost every minute of it, by the way you have written your blog posts, without flattering you, I can already tell that you will achieve your dream of writing about the things you love. Also you’ve made some wonderful points about ‘beauty’ in the media, and self confidence, hopefully I’ll be able to look in a mirror one day without pointing out flaws. Its also good to see someone else as excited about Christmas as I am all the year round he he xxx
September 27, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Wow thank you so much. I hope one day to write and do something that I love. Yes, I am a very big fan of Christmas too, it’s so amazing :P lol
October 7, 2012 at 9:13 am
Thanks for stopping by on my blog. Keep on dreaming. Dreams do come true, give it sometime.
October 7, 2012 at 12:06 pm
I hope so and your welcome!
October 20, 2012 at 8:40 am
Hi Vinny! I like your blog! I am a dreamer too! Never stop dreaming because it means that you have died to all possibilities! Much love!
October 20, 2012 at 11:17 am
I like that last line “Never stop dreaming because it means that you have died to all possibilities!” Awesome line right there. Don’t worry I will never stop! lol
November 9, 2012 at 11:51 am
Good stumbling upon you! Keep writing…keep dreaming…the only way to live on this tumbling planet :) Cheers!
November 9, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Oh yes, I will keep on tumbling don’t worry :P lol
November 19, 2012 at 3:35 pm
You have a lot of wisdom and a good personality for someone as young as you are. We need more of you in this world. :)
November 19, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Gosh, thanks so much. I wish the world and the people in it will one day be grateful for they have instead of worry about so many other little things.
December 9, 2012 at 4:57 pm
You must have made an impression – on me!

If I could get hired anywhere that would be awesome! lol I love being different and myself when I write. Glad you like it.
April 6, 2013 at 3:53 pm
I’m happy to see that I’m not the only dreamer in the world :)
April 6, 2013 at 5:42 pm
I am sure we are just one of the millions! lol
April 6, 2013 at 6:18 pm
We’re few and far between…
April 6, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Well, there is nothing better than setting a bunch of goals and trying to achieve all of them. No matter who and what the goal is
April 6, 2013 at 7:46 pm
WHO the goal is??
April 6, 2013 at 8:52 pm
No matter who is doing the goal and what the goal is, gosh! lol
April 7, 2013 at 4:07 am
Oh, I thought you meant you make people into goals haha.
April 7, 2013 at 11:10 am
No! That doesn’t make sense!
April 6, 2013 at 10:46 pm
Watching “too many” cartoons? Not sure that’s a thing. Haha :)
April 6, 2013 at 11:38 pm
I know, it is one of my many flaws /: lol
April 6, 2013 at 11:39 pm
Haha, Mine too.
April 8, 2013 at 9:44 pm
Awesome =D You seem like a nice laid-back guy. I think everyone has a child in them always. Or at least they should in a good way because really, kids see the world in the most fun ways.
April 8, 2013 at 10:10 pm
Glad you think I’m a “cool” dude :P lol It’s true, that’s the way life should be lived!
April 14, 2013 at 1:50 pm
“I am done!(:”
You are never done! :)
April 14, 2013 at 1:54 pm
But, but, but that’s all I had to say! I had to stop myself so people wouldn’t got bored of me talking about myself :P lol
April 15, 2013 at 5:32 pm
It is such a great thing that you have goals. I’m into creative writing too, and goals are so important in my life. Dreaming keeps me going every day and I hope it does the same for you!
April 15, 2013 at 6:14 pm
Exactly, if you don’t have goals and dreams it takes away from the fun of life and trying to chase them!
April 22, 2013 at 4:32 pm
Hi Vinny and thanks for following my new writing blog. I’m a bit jealous as I always wanted to do journalism then ended up in something totally different just by a small quirk of fate. At least I can still write in my spare time though (if I don’t I start to get a bit twitchy! :)) Anyway, please consider yourself followed back and I look forward to checking in.
April 22, 2013 at 7:56 pm
Well, we are all writers on here! You never know, you can always pursue journalism down the road
April 29, 2013 at 12:19 am
Thanks for the “like,” I appreciate it. Really liked this post. Between the avid cartoon-watching and passion for writing, we have a lot in common. XD Hope you get where you’d like to be in your career if you haven’t already.
April 29, 2013 at 11:44 am
Thank you for the best wishes! Anyone who doesn’t like writing or cartoons maybe crazy so I’m glad you agree with me >.< lol
May 1, 2013 at 10:17 pm
Hey there! Thanks for the props; I really appreciate it. You have some great work here! Best of luck, Vinny.

May 27, 2013 at 3:27 pm
I will always be a little kid at heart! cartoons for life!
May 27, 2013 at 9:36 pm
All of those old school cartoons & shows will always be a bagillion times better than that nonsense on TV now!
May 28, 2013 at 4:04 pm
minus adventure time … that is some great nonsense right there
May 28, 2013 at 8:35 pm
Gosh, I hear about that show all of the time! I have never seen an episode though. I feel so out of the loop now /:
May 29, 2013 at 3:55 pm
I have only seen a few episodes … it is highly entertaining, and very strange. Give it a try, I doubt you will be disappointed ^_^
May 30, 2013 at 12:28 am
I will have to do that now! Entertaining, but strange is my kind of genre :P
June 2, 2013 at 6:31 am
i too get excited about Christmas even though we dont even celebrate it…Im not 21 yet i love video games….
June 2, 2013 at 1:13 pm
That’s pretty awesome. I’ll be like 500 years old and still love both of them lol
June 13, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Vinny, thanks for the like! I’m also a journalism major with a creative writing concentration – congrats on good choices! ;)
June 13, 2013 at 8:41 pm
You’re very welcome! That’s pretty cool way to totally steal my education choices! >.< lol
