2017 has brought us laughter, sadness, love, loss, tragedy, and triumph. It’s also brought us a gang of beautiful men, and it wouldn’t be a GATNB end of the year party without acknowledging some of them. Below are five men that have made headlines this year, that also just so happen to be swoon worthy. Am I missing anyone? Feel free to comment! Sterling Brown. This Is Us is in my top 3 most anticipated shows I’ve watched this year, and #1 on my list of “Shows that make me cry

The end of baseball season only means one thing for me – BASKETBALL! And while I believe it’s still too early to make any playoff predictions, I can’t deny how well the Warriors are playing. Here’s a few pics from the past month’s sports festivities. I sure look like a football fan don’t I? #gallery-19237-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-19237-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-19237-2 im

From breaking things in the apartment during Warrior games, to volunteering for the SF Giants commercials, the last few weeks of my life have revolved heavily around sports. But the highlight was definitely touring the ‘Stick. Although Candlestick Park is where I first fell in love with the San Francisco Giants, I obviously have ridiculous love for the 49ers and all their faithfuls. I got goosebumps walking through the hallways, and almost cried in the locker room (not to be

Remember last week when I posted pics from my peaceful weekend comparing it to the “calm before the storm?” Well, here’s the storm. I’m never sloppy, but as you can see, me and my friend in the last pic are the only people dancing. And as you can see, there’s still light outside. It was the first time I drank vodka since July of 2011, and by the end of the night I remembered why. #gallery-17421-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-17421-1 .gallery-item { float: left;

While everyone is eagerly anticipating this Sunday’s Niner vs. Seahawks game, I am still reveling over this 3-pointer from Curry during last Friday’s game against the Celtics. Iggy was on fire that night, and with his other two buzzer beaters I knew the winning shot would be between him and Curry. I’m glad he’s improving as a clutch player, and Boston didn’t make use of those last two seconds. I suppose I’ll consider buying a Curry jersey soon. I said I’ll think about it (If

I’ve always loved commercials involving sports. They’re all so motivational, and make me feel like joining a triathlon when I can’t even swim. The Under Armour “Protect This House” and Gatorade “Win From Within” campaigns are a few of my past favorites. Beats By Dre’s “Hear What You Want To Hear” is now on top of my list. Genius concept, and Colin Kapernick is definitely not bad to look at. #49ers #sports #imtheman #beatsbydre #colinkapernick #aloeblacc #football #commercials

I may not care too much for football, but I do care for my team – both of them. A huge reason why I shelled out $105 this past Sunday, was to spend time with some of my favorite people that I don’t get to see too often. Asides from being hungover by 7:30pm, I’d have to say the money spent was well worth it. Here’s a few pics from Sunday’s Niner vs. Cardinals game. #gallery-16545-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-16545-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top

I’m kidding. Don’t get all Aaron Hernandez on me now, I just needed a title. Anyway, in an attempt to give football a chance, (but ultimately prove to everyone just how boring I think it is) I’ve joined my very first (and hopefully last) fantasy football team this season. At this time, I can say that the only thing fun about it was creating my team name – and even that someone else thought of. While I still don’t like football any more, I don’t like it any less either. One th

I sincerely apologize for my lack of posts last week, but if you follow me on IG (instagram.com/gatnb) then you’ll know I was in Hawaii. While I was having an amazing time, I will say I missed blogging like a mother misses her baby after a long vacation. This was my 5th time visiting Oahu, but my first time there with my mom. I can definitely say it was a different, but amazing trip nevertheless. Here’s a few pics from the beginning of my stay, enjoy! #gallery-16272-2 {

Damn. Started the weekend off with a bang, and ended it with a big, fat WAH. Thank God I’m not as invested in the Niners as I am with the Giants or else I would’ve needed to be on suicide watch after that game. Nevertheless, I had a good time with good people. Saturday, had dinner with Lindo and his boy then celebrated Israel’s birthday before we headed over to LPR to catch his friend DJ. Chryslyn, Rosario and their girls joined us before I got drunk then sober enough again f

Just wanted to send good vibes from across the country to all the folks back home! I’m still not a football, but I’m a 49er by default, and will always support (almost) anything San Francisco. One thing I’ve learned is football fans are intense, and take games way more seriously. But they’re fun to watch! Seeing everyone bite their nails down to the last few seconds of the game, and then cry out of sheer bliss reminds me of how I felt during our World Series run. I think it’s

Congratulations to all you Niner Faithfuls on last Saturday’s win! My friends know that I am NOT a football fan, but EVERYONE knows I put on for my city. I’ve come to realize that football is probably the most celebrated sport here in the United States. I met up with a friend at Finnerty’s 1.5 hours before kick off and they were already at capacity and had a line down the block! Even the SF Giants World Series wasnt like that. But we ended up about 6 blocks away at a bar call

Finally, the rest of the pictures from my first weekend in NYC are here. Sorry again for this cop-out post, but I promise I’ll be back on it come Hump-Day. Anyway, with a lot of my folks from the Bay still in the big apple, we celebrated the homie Matt’s birthday at one of my favorite spots in the LES, Beauty & Essex. Then, closed out the weekend with five hours of beer drinking at the “Bay Bar” Finnerty’s while we watched the Niner game. Thank God, I’m not a huge football fa
