You've heard about several people here at PetePhillipsOnline.com. Sometimes you hear about regulars like Kyle or Greg, but sometimes you hear about less-common characters that are too embarrassed to be regulars. I thought it would be a great chance for us to examine these individuals and reveal where my cast of unique characters is today...

Alexa Berestski
Alexa's doing good. She's been keeping very busy with her Physician Assistant studies, so sadly I haven't seen her as often as I used to. What can you do though? I would much rather the girl go out an get a good job than spend extra amounts of time with me. That way, when she's successful and all, I can ask her for money, right? Cha-ching! She's been working hard part-time too, which is the bigger culprit in spending weekend outings together. Alexa's also still EMT-ing and all that medical jazz. She's not on a chopper all the time, but would you really want her to be? That could get dangerous after a while. I think it's best we leave her on the ground. Alexa and I still keep in contact, whether it be through a rare phone call, IM, or Tim Carrol. Tim's doing good too. You may remember his abs from the Pete's Amazing Contest? Yeah, that's him. He's working for the IRS, with a gun, so pay those taxes, buddy.

Joe Baldasare
Oh Joe. Joe exists in my mind as one of the fonder memories of King's College. I can't complain that he moved off-campus and got a life, but I will heterosexually admit that I often miss his company. It was quite a ride for two years in Holy Cross with ol' Joe & Steve, which would later take on John, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose. It should be noted, of course, that Joe and I don't hate each other or anything, but we rarely see each other very much. This is partly because I don't go to lacrosse parties or the bars, and partly because he doesn't like to walk far from his home, but what can you do? I think the most important thing is that I can always look back with a smile, and that Greg and I can continue to build the myth of Joe as a womanizing man whore who treats women like objects. He doesn't though.

Scott Carrol
Scott's doing some stuff with selling cars and he's in Pennsylvania or Maryland. He was kind enough to touch base with Greg and I when he came to the area once, and he occasionally gets to sign on to his old AIM account and chat it up. His consultations helped me get through a harrowing class ordeal last semester, and he remains angry that I didn't have to take the Mass Communications Practicum class. I remain thankful that he warned me to do everything possible to NOT take said class. Scott will still be in contact with me as long as he keeps that old screen name. If he doesn't, I will surely lose him forever. But I still have that picture that Kyle gave me, which could be a great start to an psychotically obsessive collage or I could Photoshop his face on to porn stars... only time will tell.

Sasha Cohen
Sasha's off the smack now, but Kyle things she should've stayed on it because she got second place at a recent competition. According to a recent post on her website, she moved back to California. That's cool I guess. Sasha doesn't really know we write about her, and she really isn't affiliated with the site at all, so it makes an update kind of hard.

Uncle Lou Diamond Phillips
Uncle Lou is still working. He will be in an upcoming release that features an all Filipino cast. It's called Wrinkles and will be distributed by Fox. What is even more exciting for Uncle Lou is his next soon-to-be-mega-blockbuster: The Sweet Science. This is a story of a tough boxing coach (Lou) who teams up with a female boxer to take them both to success. Kind of like that new Clint Eastwood/Hilary Swank movie. OH, but this has Mariah Carey instead of Swank. So yeah... Uncle Lou needs a paycheck.

Sam Falbo
Sam is still the greatest boss I have ever had ever. I've had some comparable bosses, but none with the rapier wit, sweetly-sour disposition, and penchant for common taste in things we hate. Often the joys of Sam Falbo are the ones that keep me coming back to work for him. Sure, experience and technical knowledge will get me far in life, but a good boss is what keeps you coming back. Sam continues to work here at King's College and he stands firm as the number one man to call in the event of any technological emergency.

Amy Fedele
Apparently Amy's doing good for herself... Yeah, that's all I got here. She still makes websites and stuff. You can stop by and visit her site at afedele.com. It's just her portfolio, but you could also get her email and contact her if you feel so inclined.

Paul Hamilton
Who can forget Paul Hamilton?! Our prize-winning visitor extraordinare. Apparently some people could forget good ol' Paul, but Pete Phillips hasn't. If you're out there Paul, you should drop a line and give the kids at PetePhillipsOnline some hope that you're alive and well. We may never hear from him, but some stars just fade to black. It's that spark that you remember, that moment of greatness. Then he unwittingly disappears.

BJ Heckner
BJ still rules your ass in the holiest of ways. He has started his studies to be a priest. You can see his sexy mug here. BJ started a blog so he wouldn't have to keep telling the same stories over and over again about his ventures in pre-priesthood. BJ is still the best kid who ever lived across the hall from me. That is to say, however, that Mr. Cool himself, Tony Hawk (the kids say he's cool, right?), could have lived across the hall and he wouldn't have been close. Find out how BJ's doing on your own by reading his LiveJournal. It's a bit more high-brow than here, in that there's no campy jokes, but hey, BJ's cool like that.

Greg Kirschner
Greg continues his escapades with me today. There's no sense in updating you-- that Little Caesar's article pretty much covers it. We're still doing that same stuff.

Mini-Pete
Um. He died in that article he was in, so yeah... huh... this is awkward...

Newbie
Newbie lives upstairs in Luksic now. Apparently he has ceased all Dashboard Confessional concerts by way of his stereo, but he continues to take massive poops and not flush the toilet. This comes from a reliable source that may be the very first person to remain shrouded in constitutional protection on the site. That's about all I got on Newbie now.

Jerry O'Connell
Well you can't keep Jerry away from Crossing Jordan. I don't know if he will get his spin-off, as previously rumored, but we can hope hard! I'm an avid watcher of Crossing Jordan now, on the A&E reruns, and I must say that I've surely missed out in the past few years.

Patrick O'Connor
Patrick has not been in contact recently. He may be lost some where in North Jersey. If you see him, please help him. Don't look into his eyes or he may bite you. Just kidding of course. Pat's up to something, some where, but I don't know what it is. The point is that he's probably alright and I'm sure he sends his best to some of you. IF you want to find Pat, hang out in the Edison, NJ Toys R Us. He'll turn up eventually. Otherwise, just do what I do and laugh at the good old times. He punched the fire extinguisher... what a guy!

Alisha Turull
Alisha's doing good. Like I said, this is a long list-- let's finish up...

Mike Venos
Venos is good. He lives off the coast of Jamaica with his wife and three kids, all named Mike Venos Venos. He continues his updates on his own site, mvenos.com, and you can read about him (and Scott) there. This update inspired by Mike's own site.

Okay, so the last few kids got ripped off, but that was quite an informative piece huh? I'm sure you laughed, and cried, and maybe even sneezed-- it's the season. I just wanted to give a short little update about some of the past stars of the site. If you didn't make the cut, you can feel free to complain to me any time.
