Hello, and welcome to the blog co-founded by t&a...or as we like to call ourselves- Tony & Aaron. This is Tony here-I figured it was only natural that I should make the 1st post seeing as how my name preceeds Aaron's in the title. However, it is a rather convenient title as well...

Aaron and I met in junior high and have been friends for at least 15 years. We've spent some time apart, but the relationship has survived the years since honors algebra class. We've had some great times that are sure to come out as the blog progresses. Those close to us frequently use the term "manpanions" to describe our relationship. Please don't make a mistake though, as we are completely 100% heterosexual. In case you didn't notice, we conveniently made a reference to "tits & ass" with our title people. We are very fond of the female gender...but mainly when they aren't talking. This is a man's blog...there will be crude comments and there will be spelling errors. It might be a good time to issue the warning that kids shouldn't be allowed near this website unless you agree with a very pro-active approach to parenting your youngsters. Also, don't let Tony's very strict Catholic parents in on this arena either.

Moving on, we must first acknowledge the person who gave us a push towards founding this blog and sharing our thoughts. Her name is Emily, and she has nothing better to do with her time than to play on the internet and figure out that you can blog and other random stuff since no men appear to be attracted to her. Usually, Emily doesn't give out advice as she needs so much of it herself. Her career path and other life choices can be summed up best as that of a "3-year old's attention span." I'm gonna stop there, but one of t&a's favorite hobbies is Emily-improv. But hey, we joke because we love. A big thanks to Emily!

Some quick auto-biographies...Aaron achieved a Master's degree in architecture from Univ of Idaho and has started a successful career here in the Boise area. He's currently single, but looking for love. That may or may not be true, I'll let him elaborate on that himself.

I've attended several colleges since the turn of the century, but haven't achieved any sort of piece of paper yet. I'm not without written accomplishments however, as I have a marriage certificate to my amazing wife Hillary...and a birth certificate to a little girl named Whitley who is so awesome that I still can't believe she is mine. I also at one time held the course record at Sandcreek public golf course with a round of 64(-8). But its been broken and that was before I got married and had a kid. I have since warned Aaron not to fall into love and can only live vicariously through him in most instances.

t&a have many shared interests. The important highlights are that we are amazing all-sport athletes, board game savants, poker sharks, halo extreme warriors, fantasy football Gods among men, and very-very-very good looking. Alright, there may have been an exaggeration in there but the important thing is that we have convinced ourselves at one point or another that each was true. Well, at least i have, aaron is a little more down to earth.

One thing that is unmistakeable, however, is our dominant volleyball skills. We are killers. Well, as killer as two 28 year-old white Americans with absolutely no vertical can be. Here is the proof. I'm the one with more hair...on my face.
