March Jam of the Month

Yea, Yea, Yea man this is ya boi Steve Moveyafeet and I'm about to hit you up with the March JAM OF THE MONTH. I'm talkin that playback track of the last four weeks son! That track you put in, listen to, then throw it in reverse and do it all over again. That Rinse, Wash and Repeat song, feel me??

We had some very tough competitors, but in the end I had to narrow it down to two extremely tight songs. Challenger A) My Chick Bad by Ludacris featuring Nicki Minaj.

Challenger B) Over- Drake

And by a unanimous vote (me, myself, and I) the winner is Over by Drake! Take a listen

Wouldn't It Be Nice

Gosh, so right now the UConn women have beaten their last four oppponents by an average of 47 points. HOLY CRAP!

I mean, I knew we were dirty...but we beat an elite eight team by 40 points lol! It was pretty funny, everyone in the dining hall is just calmly watching the game, I hear whispers of conversations like "Wouldn't it be so much fun to just shiz on EVERYONE?".

I had to catch myself because as I walk in and look at the score I was saying to myself this is a close game when we were up by 20 haha! It's just that no one is ever in our league and it's really refreshing to know that at least one of our basketball teams is playing out of their minds.

Yea son

Ahh rugburn, how I've missed you so. Nothing like that searing pain that you give me in the shower for days after you arrive.

Yeah, I got some mega turf burn while playing intramural soccer on Monday. But it was worth it! With our last game, the Iron Curtain improves to 3-0 on the season and moves into first place in our group!

We played the "Morgan Freemans", who were the only other undefeated team, in the pouring rain. It definitely affected everyone's touch on the ball though. The first goal of the game was a direct result of that, with one of our defenders losing control of the ball and then in his haste to get back, slipping and leaving it a one on one situation that their player put by our keeper.

We always start so slow, but it was looking like it might be tough to come back. Thankfully, about 5 minutes later, I made a run off of a throw in, took the ball to the box and slotted it by the keeper to tie things up. Then 2 minutes later, I took the ball down the wing, low crossed it to the feet of our center midfielder Eddy who put that away as well. 2-1.

Goals by myself, Pat, and one by Jimmy made it a much more wide open contest, finally bringing the final score to 5-1. Dibs!

Shiz Son

Dude we just got knocked out of the NIT! 65-63 by Virginia Tech nooo....

Now, if you saw the game, you might just be thinking to yourself that Gavin Edwards is a grimy, good-for-nothing, flea-bitten, lazy-eyed, no-skilled, mayor of jokeville, slim-shady wanna-be, two-timin', trashy choke artist.

Or you might say to yourself, no sir, Gavin Edwards is, in fact, quite clearly a man of no taste, flimsy arms, pea-brains, rancid body odor, chat-roulette-creeper-status punkass-betch.

Well I understand your anger at him. He did indeed miss what many might deem to be a wide open lay-up with 3 seconds to play after Kemba Walker worked hard to give him the open shot, down 64-63. However, I just want to make one thing clear.

I'm sorry. The UConn loss is actually the fault of me, Jimmy, and Pat.

See, we were walking down the steps leading away from Hilltop Suites (where we will be living next year) on Saturday, and who do we see but Gavin Edwards. The thought to jump him and save UConn from seeing him suck it up on the court occurred to us at the time, but we didn't actually carry it out. So, in an effort to make it up to UConn basketball fans worldwide, my boyz and I just wanted to apologize. Next time we see him, there shall be a brawl of epic proportions, and by epic proportions I'm not talking about Gavin's forehead.

Tales of the Iron Curtain

The Mantle shall be raised up again!

Of course, I am speaking about the Iron Curtain, our intramural spring 6 vs 6 soccer team up at UConn. This time around we have some new faces, besides the original crew (Pat, Jim, Jimmy, and yours truly) we have the Albanian Maniac Eddy who is our lock-down center midfielder and coming out of the 'Bury a solid right wing back named Dave.

Our first game was Sunday at the Shenkman Center. We showed up as a team pretty nervous, we bumped up to the "A" division which many regard as the toughest league since good teams usually drop down from Open. We checked out our competition as we walked in...they were a big team. Picture this. 6 of the most typical frat kids you can imagine, most likely seniors, all tan and big in retro NBA jerseys. None of the colors matched the actual teams colors, like baby blue laker jerseys, etc.

I started sizing their team up...ok, well it was likely that most of them had little soccer experience, but if they were soccer players in high school their size could give us fits. I decided to start our team with a two defender, three midfielder approach so we could really shove it down their throats, and I sat the bench to start. The Iron Curtain looked great the first 5 minutes, attacking on all cylinders and really putting a lot of pressure on these guys, clearly only one or two of them had any soccer experience.

I got in the lineup, and after another 10 minutes of scoreless play with countless opportunities for us, they countered and scored a lucky goal off the post. Frustrated, we fought hard to score, and finally found the back of the net when I picked up a defensive miscue and buried it. 1-1.

With one minute to go before half, the ball popped out to Jimmy who turned on the jets for a one on one with the keeper, giving us a nice 2-1 cushion at the break. We regrouped, talked strategy, and then came out and played possessed to put a beating into these guys 9-2 for a final score. Jimmy led the scoring on the day with five goals, Pat had two, Jim had one, and I finished with one. It was a great effort for our first game and gave us some good confidence to carry into the season. The frat guys were good sports about it and didn't get pissed off.

Bout to do mad work this season, we're gonna be scary good!

Quick Hits Part 2

Dude, so I was right on a couple of upsets. Definitely called #13 Murray State over #4 Vanderbilt, got the Cornell pick locked down (they looked illy), and I was hella pissed that San Diego State lost by 3 to Tennessee or else I would have looked like a boss. That Houston pick was way off, but hey that's why we gamble on it haha.

My bracket at this point is completely shaken up, the only way I can win money now is if God is like, "yo lemme hook my boi Steve "Move Your Feet" Brown up right quick, feel me?" So it's whatevs.

Here's to it becoming even more chaotic with upsets for the rest of the way on!

The Hangover

Everybody's been there. You wake up after an epic night of partying feeling like Kimbo Slice just laid you out like a silver platter, and all you can think about is why did I have so much to drink last night?

Well, I had one of those mornings this past Saturday, and decided to write a little about this new theory I've been concocting.

Regarding the Road to Recovery for Hangovers, there are a couple of levels that you have to pass.

First Level: The Sitting Up Stage
Explanation: It may or may not be well known, but standing/sitting up too quickly after drinking can result in high levels of puke-age. I'm usually wicked dehydrated at this point so I'm not tryna throw up some valuable liquids. Usually I grab a water bottle or Powerade and try to get some hydration goin on.
Status: 5% recovered

Second Level: The Jump Down, Walk Around Stage
Explanation: For those of us who suffer from sleeping on the top bunk bed, the last thing you want to do is propel yourself off the bed and jolt your whole body. I'm all about getting on my sloth grind and doing as little physical activity until I'm back to 100%.
Status: 20% recovered

Third Level: The Sacred Shower Stage
Nothing is more soothing than the feel of running water cleaning away various odors and grime that may have collected over the night. This is perhaps the most important stage, as it also signals the start of a new day, a threshold of sorts lol. Usually it should last about twice as long as a normal shower.
Status: 75% recovered

Fourth and Final Level: The Breakfast Club Stage
Here's the part where you get some life back into you. Go to breakfast, grab some fruit to get those nutrients back, talk about what happened last night with the Bro-bots, and shoot the breeze. With this and the Shower you should be back in business in no time.
Status: 100% recovered

There ya go, I recommend drinking water before you go to sleep to nullify all of this!! Now, if only I could follow my own advice...

March Madness!

Who's ready for some kickass games?

Just some quick hits, hopefully I get lucky on these, but here are some of my potential upset bids today

-San Diego State over Tennessee
-Murray State over Vanderbilt
-Houston over Maryland
-Cornell over Temple

Let's get money!

Straight Uppppp, I Gets Paid Up

Happy St. Patty's Day bro-skis!

Time to embrace the vastly inferior Irish portion of my heritage...every dog has it's day lol. I figure, wear something green and set a different background on my computer for today and that will take care of that for the year.

Then it's back to being British and Italian FTW!!!!! I'm talkin that pasta and fish and chips, back on my Big Ben and Mafioso Grind, feel me?

Drama at Gampel

I got to witness another UConn embarrassment, er I mean win today. It was much-needed, especially with sibling rivalry stakes at hand! I mean, I've already lost cousin-rivalries with Kathryn and Syracuse lol so it was the least God could do.

I walked in Gampel Pavilion to see...maybe at most half of the people who usually show up. No one in the upper bleachers. And a bus-load of Northeastern students dressed in red.

See, UConn students are so embarrassed to be in the NIT, no one really cares enough to go to the game. Ergo, I got to sit in the lower student section, DIBS! It was a recipe for disaster from the start though; UConn's coming in reeling from a crushing defeat to St. Johns (WTH?), depressed not to be in the NCAA's March Madness, and Northeastern coming in amped to play with the big dogs. The atmosphere was really lax, like a scrimmage. More and more people trickled in as the game went on.

The crowds were getting into it quite a bit...Northeastern's fans are pretty uppity. They chanted a couple of stupid things at us, like Sit Down when the tv timeouts happened, and the "oh-so creative" SAFETY SCHOOL lol to which we responded with "BC REJECTS."

*Authors Note: I mouthed the words, I do not condone the degradation of Northeastern in any way :D *

In short, we went down early, fought back for an eight point halftime lead, lost it and went down about seven, before climbing back in it thanks to a late run to win by two. We missed two chances to ice the game on one-and-one's with less than a minute to go, and NU actually threw up a legit three pointer ftw (it floated there for an eternity) before it clanked the side iron at the buzzer. CRISIS AVERTED. So here's to a continued run in the NIT!

Random Memory

I've been spending a lot of time with my grandparents lately, and one of the first conversations that I can actually remember was with my grandma. I remember I was probably about in that 4,5, maybe even 6 range. Her mom had just passed away, and being the innocent little guy that I was, I didn't quite understand the concept of death. To my knowledge, death was to put it generally, sad. Everyone that knows someone that died in my eyes was always sad, and thus death was sad. =/

So I saw my grandmother sitting at the table, looking pretty sad and I remember my mom trying to make me understand the gravity of what had happened. I went up to my grandma, and told her I was sorry (as far as I can remember), and then with a deadass serious look on my face, I promptly asked her if she had died by walking off of a cliff like in Looney Toons.

Another thing I knew about death: If one were to fall off a cliff like in Looney Toons, then you could bet your ass that you were going to die lol!

Thankfully, my grandma thought it was funny lol and I got a laugh out of her ftw lol

But yea, random memory.

I slept over their house on Wed. to keep my grandpa company and watch some old movies with him lol, solid night, solid night. The cousins will appreciate this; there was a Frank Astaire and Ginger Rogers Marathon on, and at the start of the show Papa would be like, "Oh, I think that's Fred Astaire. He was a great dancer let me tell you."

And then fall asleep.

And then wake up and watch the end of the movie. "What's on next? Oh this looks like a Fred Astaire movie, Ohhh he was a very famous dancer back in my time."

Cue him falling asleep and re-waking once more lol. "Oh is that Frank...no what was it Astaire, Fred Astaire that's it. He was a famous movie star when I was growing up, boy I'll tell ya *insert indiscernible jabber* great dancer."

haha Gotta Love It!

Relative to, and or including, that which shall be coined as "Bunked Beds"

Current Mood: Suspicious

Just a random thought I had last night lol...

Bunk Beds have been following me around throughout my whole life, much like how stank follows around Taco Bell eaters. I only have one conscious memory of living life sleeping without a canopy (of sorts) overhead, a fact that dawned on me last night while crawling into (what else?) my bunk bed. For those of you that don't know my sleeping situation in the past, I've always had the bottom bunk while Geoff preferred the top bunk.

Being on the bottom bunk is pretty sweet in my opinion, easy access to the ground, etc. However, it does play with your head a little bit. See, I don't know if it is just my bunk bed at home, or what the deal is, but every time Geoff used to climb up the ladder into bed it started creaking like a madman! Definitely enough to make me deliberate my chances of survival through the night should the top bunk somehow fall down onto me haha! Like, I cannot say enough how often I used to have visions of the top bunk crashing down on me and finding myself having to use superhuman strength to throw it off of me and escape ahhaaha. I'm surprised it lasted this long, here's to another couple years of holdin' up the Browns!

Up, Up, and Up

Current Mood: Refreshed

I do enjoy company when I am falling asleep, having always lived in a room with someone, and with Geoff on his way back to Boston and my cats being intolerable creatures I turned on Old Reliable...aka TV.

I came across the 82nd Annual Academy Awards and decided that this show would do, and started to settle in for the night. As it went on though, I became more and more interested in who would take home the awards for Best Actor/Actress in a leading role and also which movie would win Best Picture of the Year. I've seen Avatar and I was hoping that another movie could dethrone it because I honestly wasn't as impressed as some of the knucklehead high school kids that go crazy about it in their facebook status'.

In short, I stayed up and watched most of the Award Show, which defeated my original goal of getting to sleep early. It was so worth it though! For those of you who did not see it, the Best Picture actually went to The Hurt Locker (never seen it) and Best Actors/Actress went to Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart (never seen it) and Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side (never seen it either lmao shoot) respectively. It's really cool how they announce the Best Actor and Actress though, because they bring out five celebrities to talk about how awesome they are to work with and basically wish them luck one last time before the award is announced, making it pretty emotional. Cool Beans

Anyways, time to talk about my favorite part of the night, which brings me to the point of this post. The Category: Best Score, which in effect is best piece of music written by a composer for a film. Before they announced it, they had this sick portion of dancers that were dancing to the songs, like I wish I could find the video it was tight. Up took the crown home though, as well it should have, that song is so insanely sad and happy at the same time. It is truthfully the rightful winner and I don't think a more apt song could have been used for that movie. Congrats Woot!

UP FTW

Back in the 2-0-3, Ya Got The Cultivatin' Music That's Been Captivatin' Me

Spring Break is finally here! And it has brought along with it some nice weather, I had to take off my coat today, who would have known?

This past weekend has been mad funny, Thursday night I'm going to have to say was unfortunately, another shit show. However, it was epic as (insert expletive). How could it not be when there is the reunion of Steve "Move Ya Feet" Brown, Geoff "Look Out Below!" Brown, Jimmy "Jamby Jamb" Albert, and Conner "Big C" Early?!?!

*Author's Note: I think if you've heard the story these names will be extremely amusing, as I am dying right now typing them up lmao!*

Friday was fun too. It started out as a really chill day with my brother and Conner, just shootin' the breeze, doing some homework, skyping, etc. We were cracking up all day, and then we headed over to North to mingle with some of the girls that were still here for the night. And to wrap up a great couple of days, we ordered DP Dough, calzone extraordinaires (check out the zones http://dpdough.com/). Good stuff.

This break I'm all about studying for my exams this first week back. Biology and Nutrition, bring it on baby I've got all day! Mostly though, I want to catch up with my family and of course some choice friends that have some time to spare.

I shall part from this post with...a post of my own. Here is a link for a youtube video on Will Ferrell in the Wedding Crashers. I've been dying from the line about the hang gliding thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15kR9tBBjlo&feature=related

Calling All Bro-bots

My brosef Geoff is coming up tomorrow! And Conner will be making an appearance too! It would seem as if the NH4 is being reunited for a night of knuckleheaded-ness!

Workouts

Yeah, so spring is almost here and the Brown Athlete (get it lol? lame) in me is really starting to get anxious for some reason. I feel like I need to do some serious working out! I've gotten a lot more jacked since the start of college, but now I want to also retain my running prowess because I've neglected leg workouts really (most boring part of the body to workout imho). Sooo more for my sake than yours I am writing up a tenative draft that I will be starting as soon as Spring Break ends.

Mondays: 1 mile, 2 100 meter dashes

Tuesdays: 1 mile, running-slow jogging alternatively at each 100 meter mark.

Wednesdays: 2 mile route across campus

Thursdays: Break

Fridays: 1 mile, plyos

*Wednesdays can be substituted for playing soccer or basketball with the boys.

I realize if you're looking at this as a high school athlete, that this is not very strenuous at all, but keep in mind I still want to maintain/gain weight lol (currently at around 152 pounds, trying to get past that 160 mark, gained 12 pounds since college dibs!).

Gotta get in shape for soccer season!

Nostalgia

I've been having a bit of a bout of nostalgia. A couple of things I just wanted to throw out there:

1) Those Legend of Zelda games were the shit. Truthfully, I want to replay one of them for N64 so bad. Beating those temples and getting all the masks in Majora's Mask is so sick haha and the music is tight! I wish that was the soundtrack for my life lol, get some of this going walking to math class would definitely spice my day up ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znio6fc7Wfo ) Actually my first memory or Zelda has to be attributed to the Manni Family playing Ocarina of Time at the Broderick's house one christmas. The spiders were pretty creepy and I remember being enthralled with Link going into this big tree. That and WWE vs NWO lmao !!!

2)Another thing I really want to get into again is the game Oblivion on Xbox 360, basically WoW offline. Hours of gameplay thats just really sick lol.

3) I actually just erased my white board, but this quote has been up there that I know looking back on I'm going to crack up about. It goes a little something like this : "I, known as Legacy, am henceforth the coolest of those that will enter the room of Pat and Brown. *heaven curse mark* lmao

The story behind that is pretty funny. Basically, one night out on the town at Carriage I got split up with Conner. I re-find him about thirty minutes later in the walking down the road, and as were heading back down the street, somehow the topic comes up that Conner can do a somersault. Some drunk dude next to us (although I'm not gonna lie we were just as bad as he was) is like...."DUDE!!! YOU CAN DO A SOMERSAULT!?!"
Conner: Yeah
Drunk Dude: Hey this kid's gonna do a somersault!"

At this point a crowd forms and starts buzzing excitedly

Conner (getting wrapped up in the building fervor):You want to see me do a somersault!!!!!!!!
Crowd: Yeah! Do it!
Conner: ALRIGHT!!

Conner makes a big show of it and the crowd starts chanting "somersault! somersault! somersault!" He then proceeds to perform a cartwheel lmao. People started yelling hey thats not it! I can do that!

Conner, realizing his mistake, yells out again YOU WANT TO SEE ME DO A SOMERSAULT!!>?!? and the crowd, growing larger by the second, yells out YEAH !

He gets down, does a somersault, and the crowd goes nuts as if it's the hardest thing in the world to do lmao. Some asshole yells out, HEY DO IT BACKWARDS and the crowd starts chanting the like. He goes on and makes a big show of it again and does it, promptly hitting his head very hard on the concrete. Like it was so loud. But the crowd was lovin it and he became an instant hero. People were just comin up to him going like YO ITS THE LEGACY , and HEY THERES LEGACY, LEGACY! So he was a temporary celeb lol! Dibs
