Fatherhood Chronicles: Part 3 -Leaving the House-

As I spend more time with Rocco I am realizing how easy tasks become harder than usual. 
Leaving the house, BR (Before Rocco) all I needed was keys and wallet. Leave whenever I wanted and put off getting up and getting ready. AR (After Rocco) I have make sure I give my self enough time not just for me but to get him ready and make sure I am not forgetting anything. The clock starts about an hour before I have to leave. 
Rule #1 is real easy. -Don’t forget the baby-. I have that mastered.  It’s everything else I need. I seem to always forget something. There is so much you need just to go to the grocery store. 
-An extra pair of clothes for when he spits up/throw up. Or the always fun “blow outs”
-diapers
-bottles
-blanket 
-A shirt for me incase any of the above gets on me.
-Wipes
-burp rag
-bibs
-pacifier
-back up pacifier
-back up to the back up pacifier 
(If you lose the burp rag just look on your shoulder) 
That is just for a quick stop. If we’re going for a long period of time like to Grandma's house, that’s a completely different story. 
-A place for Rocco to sleep
-Toys
-Books
-Medicines
-Much much more
When Elizabeth is here it’s a process to grab everything at once because I am a man and we have to take everything in one trip. No way are we taking multiple trips. Sadly. When I am by myself I keep that same mindset. I would rather break my arms than take 2 trips. Somehow that makes sense when I am loading up all arms with a car seat in one hand to make the trip downstairs to leave. Something always happens to me. When the door shuts behind me and I go to lock the door my house keys are always in the hand that has the most stuff in it and the keys are in an unreachable position. Never fails. 
As I stated above. As long as I don’t forget Rocco it’s a win. 
Today was a good day. I think I finally made it on the scoreboard. 
The 3 day tally sits:
Rocco - 2
Brandon - 1 

*No baby was taken to the grocery store during these times. I was just making a general statement*

BREAKING: Allen vs Mahomes - By: Brandon Siclari / Sports

Here it is! What we have all been waiting for, Patrick vs Josh. 15 vs 17. Chiefs vs. Bills. We have our match-up, Allen v Mahomes. . . . .In a competition to see who can throw the ball farther. . . . . . Yesterday on Barstool Radio Josh Allen challenged Kermit, I mean Mahomes to see who can throw the ball farther. Last year Mohomes stated " I've seen these things with Josh, but I'm going to say I believe I have the stronger arm. I've never seen anyone throw harder than me with the football, Until I see it in person, I believe I have the stronger arm." Here is my quick take on this. Allen has a video throwing the ball 77 yards, Mahomes claims at his pro day he threw it "like 80 if it was windy, but I didn't throw it as good as I could have. . . " Mahomes sounds like that kid that claims he is an amazing Ice Hockey player then you get him out there and he starts blaming the skates or the stick was tapped wrong. I'm not saying he doesn

Stay Safe. Stay Sane. - Siclari

A photo of me looking to go out on a Friday night during COVID-19. We're all this guy right now. First off. I hope everyone is doing well during these times. Not only with staying safe, but staying sane. My family is doing really well at the staying safe part.  Its the sane part that I am struggling with. 2020. You started out so well. Seven days in you gave me my son Rocco and things were looking upward. Then it all went to shit. Not with Rocco just with everything that is going on. Instead of taking Rocco out in to the world we are showing him around our 1200sq foot loft with no yard and only 3 small windows that will open. COVID-19 has taken over 2020. Lets go back to Jan, the last time you heard from me. I can let everyone know that Brandon Siclari has kept a human being alive and well for 3 months now. Whoever bet under 3 months, I will be awaiting your apology. Social Distancing has gone OK for me. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not one of these &q

Music City Miracle 2 -Titans Cheat again /// By: Siclari

What a sad fan base that a twitter poll means this much to them. . . My plan was to go over the disturbing Game Of Thrones poster for the up coming series final on April 14th.  If this poster is foreshadowing anything its complete destruction. I CANT WAIT!!! Now onto something I had no idea I was going to talk about or even think about again, a sad sad fan base, the Tennessee Titans. When Fox Sports came out with a bracket for best NFL fan base I knew the Buffalo Bills would do well. It means nothing but it was fun to pay attention to and see how they fared. Bills beat out, in my opinion, some of the best fan bases in the NFL to get to the final four. Seattle, Green Bay, and Saints. When I saw we would be going up against the Titans I easily chalked this up as a win. When the voting was over I checked Twitter and we lost. I was surprised seeing when I first checked Bills were up around 70% to 30% and didn't think Titans had enough fans to make up that difference. In a way I
