Joseph Rossi
Nickname: Joey
Age: 25
Height: 5'11
Weight: 162
Eye Color: green brown/hazel
Hair Color: dark brown
Heritage: Italian/Sicilan
Occupation: Beford Medical Student
Friends: Ava, Rafael, Mickey, his dad
Enemies: a few
Joey, depending on when you meet him, can be two different people. He enjoys life and likes to make the most of it, but he knows when it's time to be serious and he can make that switch quickly. He loves to joke around and spend time with others. Joey tends to get antsy when sitting still for too long and constantly needs to be on the go, experiencing life to the fullest. He has done a few assignments for his Uncle Johnny here and there, but knows that it's not something he would want to continue as a career. A graduate of the University of Palermo under the Biological Sciences department with a minor in the psychology department, Joey is far from being a lazy 25-year-old who lives with his parents. He's actually very smart, and he does apply himself, he just also wants to have fun while he's young...hence the reason why he has yet to apply to medical school. He loves his family though, and especially loves kids, and though he doesn't tell people, someday he hopes to have 5 of his own.

So, Tobias seems to be in a little trouble lately. Go figure. The kid has more issues than National Geographic, I swear. I am one the plane to Auvernha right now. Uncle Johnny came over bright and early to get me, and d@mn, I was half asleep. I got some sleep earlier on the flight though, so that worked. And the flight attendants aren't too bad either. Gotta stay up for them. Speaking of which, I think I might need another drink..
Okay, but anyways, yeah. Tobias has apparently gone to be with the Scarselli family there, working for them and whatnot. I don't even want to know what he's been doing. His mother has right to be concern, I'm sure. And it's tough since Uncle Alfonso passed away and all, so she's really having to do this all by herself. I feel bad for her. So, maybe me coming up there will take the load off of her and I'll try to get Tobias to start using his head. At least wait until he's graduated and back in Sicily...don't be joining other families, you know? I don't know..that flight attendant needs to get back here though..I need to get her number..

I don't really know what Uncle Johnny wants me to do. Tobias said he's gotten involved with the Scarselli family, mainly to just be doing -something- and not getting bored. I don't know what I can do. I mean, that's just Tobias. He has to be keeping busy and he has to be keeping busy with things like that. It's just the way he's built. He said Mr. Iaconelli talked to him about doing government work, and the only way I see Tobias doing something like that is secret service or CIA crap or some active, adventure-filled thing where he's guaranteed to fire a weapon. Anything other than that and he'll get bored and antsy and start gettingtrigger happy, which is apparently what happened on this recent case. I can't believe he screwed up on a family's assignment that wasn't his own family. It's one thing to do it when Uncle Johnny gives you the assignment...but another family? D@mn...that's just asking for trouble. So now I need to make sure nothing is coming of that and make sure Tobias doesn't have some hit out on him. That's the last thing I need right now. It's good to see him though, and Aunt Lunetta and the rest of them. They seemed to be doing pretty well and handling things pretty good lately. Now they just need Tobias to calm down...Aunt Lunetta probably deserves some peace and quiet without worrying every day. We'll see if I can help her out a litte.

The problem with Tobias...much bigger than I expected. Much bigger. So now it turns out he's dealing drugs around Auvernha. I swear...I don't know if he even thinks. I don't even know if there's a brain in that head of his sometimes. Didn't he think this through? First, he's alone doing this. There's no backup from the Rossi family with him and no one even knows where his deliveries are. Then, more importantly, he's bringing it into the house! Into. The. House. With his family. He's putting them in danger, just like Uncle Johnny said. Bringing that stuff to the house is only causing trouble. Carmine finds it, yes, but what if Bella or Marisol found it? Or Mickey? He might not even know what it is and he might eat it something. Then what? Tobias...he needs to start thinking! And if something goes wrong, those people who gave him the drugs are going to come to his house to find him and the stash. It's too dangerous, and he should know that! D@mn him.. I don't know how I'm going to get through to him. I hate that Uncle Johnny has to do it, because I'm sure he's not happy and he isn't going to go easy on Tobias, but...he needs to learn. He needs to know that he needs to keep his family as his top priority and remember their safety.

Man..guess whose birthday is coming up on Sunday! That's right, mine! I can't wait. I hope Aunt Lunetta bakes a huge cake for me. I'm her best nephew, she better!
I think Tobias is going to take some work. I think Uncle Johnny got through to him though...at least a little bit. And offered him a job at a casino he's going to opening up! Man, where's my job offer? That's all right though...Ma probably wouldn't want me working at a casino with Uncle Johnny, and neither would Pops. That's cool though..I'm doing pretty good back in Sicily making the cash. But man...a casino. Uncle Johnny's going to rack up on that, I'm sure. Those things usually always make money, and with his business sense, it'll be even more. And Tobias as security... that's some crazy sh!t, but maybe that will help him out. It's not too often Johnny makes a mistake in a decision, so it'll probably work out.

Well...another birthday come and gone. The big 2-5. Nothing special after this one. I wasn't at home to celebrate, so that kind of sucked. No friends to go out with later and no dinner and cake from Ma! There's something special about those cakes. I don't know how she does it, but man... I can't get enough of them. Anyhow, Aunt Lunetta made me a nice cake and it was pretty good. Not bad, not bad. Gotta hand it to her...she's a good cook. I won't tell Ma that though. It was nice of her though.
Halloween's coming up too, and I think I'll take the little one around, see if I can grab up some candy with him. I'll probably just go in my EMT outfit, see if any ladies are out. Ladies love the EMT uniform...any uniform really. We'll see how the ladies up here are. I wonder how long Uncle Johnny wanted me up here for...

Sweeet. I so didn't think anyone could think that Halloween could be considered a lucky night, but I guess people didn't consider that Joseph Rossi was in town. Man...I am taking Mickey trick-or-treating every year if it means meeting some hot women at haunted houses. Definitely not a place I thought I would meet someone, but it turns out she's awesome. She's from Vittoria, which means she's hot automatically. And interning at a lawyer's place. Ma might like that. I know Pops would, thinking she'll set me on the right goal to getting me back to school and actually becoming a doctor. But man...she was hot and I think I'm going to have plans Friday night. I have a feeling she'll call me back.
I should come to Auvernha more often...

Okay...props to Auvernha for hiding awesome hot ladies. Ava...she's something else. When I first asked her out, I was thinking, "awesome, a nice dinner date with a hot girl, maybe it'll turn into something else." But now I just..I don't know. It's kind of like how it was with Stephanie a few years ago. She's cool, awesome to hang out, and I don't have to try to impress her. Yeah, Stephanie turned out to be some crazy @ss psycho b!tch, but...I don't think Ava would turn out like that. She's cool. She even hung out with me and Mickey last night and watched a movie with her. What girl would want to do that and not mind? We'll see how this goes though... One thin's for sure, I'm not wanting to go home anytime soon. I know that sounds bad, and I love Ma and Pops and Vittoria, but..Auvernha's not too bad. I guess I should talk to Pops about it.

I swear... Tobias needs to get his act together. I'd rather not answer the phone after a good day, expecting Ava to be like.. "Joey, I want to come see you" and then have her tell me that he's been hitting her roommate! That's just low. That's like the number one rule: Don't get a girl. I learned that from my dad, and I know Uncle Alfonso didn't raise him like that. I don't know what got into him. I've been ticked off at girls before, but never to the point of laying a hand on them in anger. I really need to talk to him and get this straightened out. He can't go around acting like that. And he needs to calm his temper. I don't know if I should call Uncle Johnny, because I know how he'll deal with it, and I don't think that's for the best. Maybe, for now, I'll just tlak to him one-on-one and try to get through to him.
Man, if he had screwed up things for me with Ava...I would be even more ticked!

These past few days, spending time in Sicily with the family and Ava...they've been pretty cool. Dad was off telling everyone that I was going to medical school and that I'm going to become this great doctor. hah..I was just, d@mn Dad! I'm not even in yet. But it's cool. Uncle G helped me out some, picking out some places that he thought would be cool. I'm going to apply to two universities here in Sicily, Bedford Medical College in Auvernha and a university in Italy. I'm hoping for Bedford though. I just...I don't know. I like being in Auvernha. Uncle Alfonso's family is there and I love those guys. They're crazy. And Mickey's there. I know Ma would hate it, but it's med school! She'll be proud just for that. And Ava's there too...
Man, I don't know what's going on with that. I like being around her and I've told her that. And she said she liked being around me. So...I don't know what's going to happen. She's going to be applying to law school, I'll be in med school...and I guess it's not a bad thing because we'll both be busy and we'll both understand when we have to do some major studying or cramming. And we'll figure that out when the time comes. I just like being around her. She's cool. And it's been a few months since the last relationship with Constance...God, don't remind me of that chick. That girl was mad crazy. Clingy and jealous all the time. But Ava's cool. We'll see what happens. We're heading back to Auvernha today, and I know I'll miss Ma and Pops. I've gotta remember to call more often and write.

Happy birthday to me! I can't believe I'm 26. Where does the time go? Anyway...Aunt Lunetta and Uncle 'Fonso are planning a surprise party for me. I have the best family ever. I wouldn't trade them in for anything. And they keep me fed ;D
26 years old... wow. Med school is pretty awesome. I'm a second year now, so I get to do more hours in the hospital and work with more of the patients. I knew I loved medicine and being a doctor. We have to do rounds in different departments, but I try to get in the pediatric department as much as possible. The kids love me there!  Who wouldn't, right?  The parents have even thanked me for being so friendly with the kids and cheering them up. That's what we're here for right? I mean, I see some doctors who are there just to check up on the kids and go to the next one, not caring one way or the other. Why? What's the point? I want to get to know the kid, see how he was when he was well, have him be comfortable with me, have him play with the equipment so he's not scared of it...I think that's the only way to truly tell if he's well enough to go home or if something's off. I tell them all about my family and the fun things that go on. With the little girls, I tell them about Ava because they seem to like all the romantic stuff. I even went in this morning before my class and they sung me happy birthday! Maybe I'm just a more personable person than some of the other doctors. I can't wait to graduate and do this fulltime.
