Worst Fear!
Ok so when i really think about what my fears are, theres pletny of wierd and creepy things that come to mind. Real stupid things like horses, butterflies, snakes, yea all that fun stuff.....but on a serious note my greatest fear would probably have to be rejection. Rejection on all kinds of levels. Whether its being rejected by your family or friends, or being rejected for a job that you really wanted, or even being rejected by a girl that you were really interested in. This is something that i guess im not really used to because i usually dont put myself in vulnerable situations where there might be the option of being denied. Anything ive ever wanted i always worked really hard for, and i usually get what i want because of my determination and strong willed character. I may not get what i want right away, but with time and effort it usually happens. Therefore i really dont know how i might react if placed in a situation where i would have to deal with rejection head on. It would all depend on the seriousness of the matter and who might be involved. With that said, i do think being on the real world will help me to overcome this fear and tackle it head on! Ok so enough of the serious talk, im starting to freak myself out, heres some really random things that i could really live without.....
-Horses....ugly mofos.
- Butterflies- yea there "pretty" to look at, but i dont need the dam things fluttering around my face.
- Snakes- thank god theres not snakes creepin around this area of jersey cuz we would have some serious problems. And actually this goes for any kind of reptiles, frogs, lizards all that junk.
- Farm Animals- after watching videos at school about chickens, cows, pigs, etc. i can really do without them. I'll cook em and eat em....but thats about it!! haha
Ok so now you know a little bit more about my wierd ass phobias...and trust me theres plenty more where that came from...so just keep on voting and lets make top 50!!

Vote YesChef86!!!!!......everybody's doing it!!
Hey Guys! I'm back in action ready to tell you guys a little bit more about myself and why i should be on the next season of real world. Sooo i dont get to update this very often because i have a full time job that takes up ALL of my time. As you can tell from my title, yeschef86 i work in the restaurant/hospitality industry. I am currently an assistant restaurant manager in charge of about 15 employeees and just about all the day to day operations of a restuarant. I work 10-12 hours a day, so yea not much free time : ( ...but I love what i do and am extremely passionate about food, culture, and anything related to this field! I would love to sit here and drop everyone as many votes as possible, but there isnt enough time in the day. Im doing as much as i can to promote myself all around town, schools, etc, and it seems to be working pretty well! I'm really energetic, always on my feet, and always up for a good time. When im not slaving away at work im usually out partying, breaking it down on the dance floor, haha...and just enjoying life. Life is way too short, so you have to just go out there and get what you want. On my days off you can also find me volunteering at a local ymca aftercare program. I think its great to give back to the community, and this is my way of showing it! So theres def a lot more to mee than meets the eye! I want this opportunity to break out of my shell some more, live amongst people i wouldnt normally be around, and grow as a person. If that isnt being real, i dont know what is. I'm very sarcastic, but in a funny way. Everyone seems to really like me as an individual. I'm def 1 of a kind, and i can guarantee you will never find anyone with my personality!! I'm usually not a confident person at all...but im so determined this year to win this dam thing, that im comin out on top! I dont know if the real world house is reallyy ready for this?!!?! So everyone watch outtttt...hope everyone can handle a little spice in their lives....YESCHEF86 is backkkkkk HOLLLAAAA!

- My parents think im a wack job for trying out for this show...they tell me to get my head out of the clouds, haha...but if thats where i gotta be to make it on the show, then my heads staying there!
- My usually calm, cool, and collective...but hit the wrong button...and its GAME OVER.
-Dont take my kindness for weakness...cuz shit can get ugly.
- I have a wierd phobia of Horses...i think their really creepy.... and have this feear that they are gunna stomp in my face...not that theirs horses running loose here in nj, but still...haha.

What would my family be surprised to learn about me!?
If i was casted on season 22 of the real world my parents would be really surprised to see........that im a little party animal!!!! I'm always ready to go out and party any time, any place. Throw on some music, start poppin the bottles and its on. For a little guy i can hold my liquor pretty well...but theres times that things go wayy to far. My parents are not a fan of drinking/partying...so for them to watch it unfold on television probably wouldnt be a good thing. Theres been times where i;ve blacked out, been carried out of bars, etc. You guys get the picture, no need to go into further details, haha. I really wouldnt want my parents to see me going out, dancing, drinking, etc. These are things that they really have no insight into in my life, but i kinda like it like that. If casted on the show, this will be a huge barrier i will need to cross! But bring on the challeges, this is what the real world is all about!! holllaaaa bacckkkk!!!
Allow me to REintroduce myself!
Hey everyone! Its Luigi back again for another shot at this real world business. I made it to the top 50 last time around, but then had some LAME phone interview that went nowhere, haha. But im back again to test my luck out once more!
I'm 22 years old from cliffside park, new jersey, a small town right outside NYC....im a little guy with a BIG personality. I speak whats on my mind all the time, good and bad. Im really looking to break out of my shell, and use the show as a good learning experience. Fuk yea im gunna party and do everything that comes along with being on the show, but theres def a lot more too it then just that. I've wanted to be on the show since i started watching it back in the day. I want to travel and experience the world, meet new people, and live on my own!! I hope everyone can see my real desire to do this, see my interesting personality, and drop me some daily votes!
Thanks and good luck to everyone!
Round 3 Questions Part 2
Describe a major issue or event that has affected your family.
Although this may have happened 3 years ago, it has def taken quite a toll on my family. Between Sep and Nov of 2004, both of my grandmothers passed away. Although we knew it was coming, it hit our family hard. My one grandma had a stroke, and died a few days later, while my other grandma died from intestinal cancer. Both deaths happened in such a short time frame, that my family was in complete shock. What did we do to deserve this is all we kept asking? It was one of the hardest things my family has ever dealth with. Family is one of the things we cherish the most, and losing two very important people left us in shock. My one grandma lived with us ever since i was born, and losing her was one of the worst days of my life. Although we rarely talk about them anymore,i know that each and everyone of my family members misses them a lot. It's sad to say, but ever since they both passed, no one has been the same.There is always that feeling of emptiness on holidays and family gatherings. My dad and my mom, both lost thier mothers, and us kids lost our grandmothers, it was def a day we will never forget. Although as time goes on, it becomes easier to deal with, it is always a touchy subject with the family.
Describe yourself as a competitor.
What most people dont know about me is that im REALLY competitive. i absolutely HATE to lose. in fac,If im playing tic tac toe or fricken hangman, i will make sure i win! I love when people underestimate me, because i am usually the underdog of every competition. Showing others what i am capable of competition wise is always awesome. I dont come off as the competitive type because im pretty chill and laid back, but once there is incentive to win, i give 110%. When you really think about it almost everything you do in life is a competition. If your going for a job interview, you have to make sure your better than the person standing behind you. If your not competitive, life is going to eat you right up. I LOVE COMPETITION BRING IT ON!!!!!
Why do you want to be on the RW? Why do you think others will vote for you?
I've always been a fan of the show. I watch season after season and realize that the same type of people are casted every year. Theres always the gay guy, the black guy, the white frat guy on every fricken season. So, when mtv posted that they wanted career and goal oriented people for season 20, i thought this was my chance. Sure living in a cool house and partying is part of the fun, but getting my name out there and exploring a new city is what its all about. I want to get out of the nj/ny area and see what other cities have to offer culinary wise. I dream of opening my own place one day, and getting out there to experience the world will only enhance my creativity and passion. Food is something everyone loves and being able to share that with people is awesome. Real world 20 will give me the opportunity to explore a new city, new culture, new food, and new tastes and perceptions. I honestly coudnt ask for anything more. So why would people want to vote for me? Well, i may not be the most attractive and i may not have a million and one issues, but im probably one of the most genuine and loyal people you will ever meet (probaly not real world material right?...screw that lets break the mold for season 20 and get someone REAL on the dam show). Im truthful and honest, whether you like it or not, im fun to be around and im always walking around with a smile on my face. I love influencing people with positive energy and laughter. I want to grow as an indivudual and as a chef, and hopefully people will see this and want to vote. I'm the perfect balance of crazy, fun-loving, and goal oriented. I have a lot of supporters at home and at school who are helping me along the way. Hopefully people will see my true colors and vote! : )
Do you drink alcohol? If yes, how do you generally behave when intoxicated?
Yes i drink alcohol. I'm usually pretty shy when i first meet people, but once i get a few drinks in me, all of that changes. I drink to break the nervous barrier that i tend to put up. Do i know my limit? Unfortunately not yet. When i drink theres 3 Luigi's that emerge. 1- Crazy, dance party Luigi. 2- JERSEY Luigi- i get loud and obnoxious and 3- Passed da fuk out LUIGI- i literally pass out anywhere. So yeaa depending on how much i drink, what i ate that day, etc will usually effect the way i act. Where im drinking also tends to effect my behavior. If im at a club....you'll find me dancing...if were sitting around the house...im probably going to pass out. Theres a lot of factors to take into account when i drink...and those factors will usually determine my behavior. For some strange reason people love to see me drunk. I'm told im hilarious when i drink...but half the time i black out and wouldnt be able to tell you. This is something i def would not want my famiy to see on television...but its part of life, soo i guess i could deal with the consequnces. oh yea and on my 21st...i passed out at the bar after 21 shots...and got carried out on a friend's shoulder....def something i would never want to relive again lol...so thats just a little insider into how crazy i can get. And thats not even half of it. lol
Round 3 Questions Part 1
How do you handle conflicts??
Come on now, do i look like the type of person that should be gettin into conflicts??.lol...i dont think so. I avoid conflict like the fukin plague and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt. I dont usually ever have any problems with people, either cuz im really chill about most things, or because i keep it all bottled up inside. That approach works for me pretty well, until i get to the point where i explode. Not many people are familiar with me freakin out on people, but it can get pretty ugly when i do. Im usually a rational/ chill person...but cross me the wrong way and i can pretty much make you feel like complete shit. Again this is rare...but occasionally it happens. Most of the time when i am involved in some kind of drama/conflict i tend to sit there an laugh. Sounds really stupid, but its true...i dont do well with confrontation and tend to laugh at just about anything. So in a nutshell i avoid conflict like the plague, laugh at pretty much any type of drama, and can make u feel like complete shit if i have to. End of Story.
Do you feel that your approach is effective? Why or why not?
Again my approach works most of the time. When it falls through shit can get ugly. But im a pretty honest person and never hide anything, so im usualy always right when it comes to some kind of arguement. I do tend to bottle up everything inside though, soo hopefully this show can change that.
What is the biggest problem you face?
One of the biggest problems i face today is really personal, and in fact most people do not really know. I am actaully reallly self-conscious about my body/self image. You always hear about "over weight" people complaining about diets and having isses with thier bodies, but no one really knows what its like to be on the other end of the spectrum. Being a guy makes it even harder as well. I;m 5'2" 100 lbs. While i am completely healthy it is something that bothers me everyday. I have had to deal with this all my life, so i am used to all the names and jokes people make. I joke around about my hieght/weight all the time too, cuz its the only way i know how to deal with it. People dont realize it but telling me to go have a protein shake is just as bad as telling an overweight person to go on a diet. Two completely different ends of the spectrum, but very similar in feeling and self consciousness. Since i've been like this my while life, im quite used to it, and i dont sit around and cry about it..lol.cause thats pretty pathetic...but it is something that bothers me from time to time. Ok..too fukin serious ..jeeze...im gettin depressed..lol
Describe your childhood and home.
My childhood was pretty fricken sweet. My grandma would slip me money everyday to go to the candy store up the street. My mom would chase me around the house with the wooden spoon because of my big mouth, while i laughed uncontrollably. My brothers would and I would beat the shit out of each other...and then i would be a brat and get them in trouble. We would all play outside with the neighbors until it got dark out...and if we werent in the house before dark...well it was bad news bears for all of us. Growing up i hung out with a select few friends..we pretty much thought we were the shit. I also hung out a lot with family, cuzins, etc. that was always a good time. My aunt would make lunch for us while all the kids were outside bustin their asses on the slip n slide ( which i still use today..haha j/k). My mother favored me, my dad never paid attention to me, my grandma thought i was king of the world....it wasnt a bad childhood at all. But im still a kid at heart, and still have a lot of growing up to do!
La Famiglia!!
Soo yea im really bad at writing these blog things, im not gunna lie. Who has time for this shit, honestly. butttt this is probably one of my favorite topics to talk about - family.
Everyone loves my family. For some reason they get a kick out of all of them. My friends are always telling me we should all be on tv. They like to compare my family to everybody loves raymond. There is NEVER a dull moment in my house. Whether its my mom chasing a fly around the house with a broom, my younger brother racing his remote control car around the house ( as we all trip over it) or my father painting every wall in creation in the house, theres never a dull moment in my household.
My parents are probably the best parents i could ask for. Growing up they were really strict. Always had to have hw done at a certain time and always had to be home at a decent hour. And if those rules werent followed...well were italian, soo i probably got the wooden spoon or the slipper. lol. Butt my parents can sometimes be pain in the asses. They have an old school mentality and are very hard to convince. Once a decision is made, its final!! Buttt i still love em and life goes on. They doont however agree with this whole real world casting thing. They think im nuts, and tell me im living on Cloud 9, and that i need to get a job and start my life. haha. I laugh at them...but there serious. lol. Butt they always tell me to do what makes me happy, sooo thats why im here, to try something new and maybe learn something about myself.
So real quick info about my parents. There both work aholics. My mom works in a law office and is the driving force behind my entire family. Without her we would be absolutely nothing. My dad is a construction worker and like "Frank" on everybody loves raymond...he complains a LOT! lol. I also have an older and younger brother. They can be huge pain in the asses. They love to pick on me, butt i dish it right back. Typical brotherly love. My family is LOUD and Italian...soo im sure you can all picture family get togethers. Constant eating and Bitching about everyone and everything.
I have 11 first cousins and 8 aunts and uncles. Family getogethers are the shit. I'm def a family oriented person, and am always psotive im going to have a good laugh when they are around.
One of my most important family members passed away a couple years ago. My grandmother ( nonna) was one of my best friends. She always stood up for me and had my back, even if i was wrong. She would sneak me money when i was broke, and would get me out of anything. She was def one of the most important people in my life, and even though she is gone, i think about her everyday and how she always told me to do what makes me happy. And sooo here i am!
That was a shit load about my family. But Family is everything!! sooo peaceeee out kidssss and keep up that voting!!!
