wanna hear a funny story? So it was a Monday night and my brother and I were watching TV and I kept hearing......PARTYING sounds - it went on well past midnight which I thought was WEIRD for a Monday night......so I'm peeping out the blinds exclaiming, "OMG now they're carting in KEGS! What's going on here???" My brother looked at me like I was nuts and said two words: "STANLEY CUP". LOL I had forgotten I was in Illinois.

how his sister thinks of him. I loved the part where he said when he had kids their uncle would always be up for watching Disney movies. Absolutely beautiful video.
