New Years Revolution

The holidays were good and as u may or may not know im not a big fan of the holidays. I dont know where or when i lost it but somewhere down the line i lost it and it has yet to resurface. I LOVE X-mas eve though, its my favorite holiday-why u ask? simple- good food!..LOBSTER tails and pasta- does life get any better? well YES!!!! I must tell u about the meal i had yesterday. My brothers and i (and brooke- my oldest bros g/f) went to my cousins house to have a dinner with the cousins (raquel/dom, and phyllis/richie), roslyn and rob couldnt make it i guess. Now my cousin Raquel and her husband Domminic are amazingly flashy. i dunno how they have so much money but they do and its amazing. They have 4 trucks- 1 being a Bently, they live in massapequa, have plasma tvs in thier walls, have a huge christmas tree, and just live the good life. Anyway back to the food! My soon to be cuz Richie is a culinery pastry chef however the man isnt just desserts! The boy knows how took cook entreas as well. The guy is a fat mans dream,  Einstein of the kitchen, or as i like to call him cupid for food lovers. He knows what spices and colors compliment each other, he knows the tricks of the trade and hes damn good at it. HES BEEN ON FOOD TV, anyway enough of his crudentiasl...He and raquel cooked PORTER HOUSE steaks as thick as a bible but certainly much more enticing. Oh and holy cow (no pun intended) it was so delicious.Its the type of taste that ur tastebuds say- that cant be as good as i think it was. So tender, so juicy so orgasmic. You could cut it with a fork. I frequently order steaks whenever i go out to places like outback and boulder creek so i am a man who knows his meats. But this my friend(s)s was the best steak i ever had!!! EVER! He also made onion rings- which i dont even like onion rings but he soaked them in ice water and it takes out the oniony taste and they were delectable. GREAT NITE OF DINING. I def ate more than i should of but i couldnt help myself.

Well the year 2004 is finally coming to a close. A year that had some highs and many lows can only lead to a better year, or atleast i hope. I for one will not miss this yr but rather embrace a new beginning. A step towards the rest of my life. In 2005 i will hope to do 3 things...my resolutions, if u will. (1)- id like to get in shape- which is pretty much what every fat person says but i really intend to be much more active in'05. (2)- in 2005 i will be graduating by the end of summer so i will hope to be on my career path by years end. And  finally (3)-  i'd like to get a g/f by the end of the yr.  I'm still waffling on if i should be in a relationship since my last one was a bigger disasters than the tsunami but i figure by yrs end i will be 23 and i should start preparing myself for my journey into adulthood. So as i look ahead with bright eyes and a handful of hope, i will quickly take a look back at the yr that was 04.

In 2004: I got a speeding ticket, my brother had an accidenat at work breaking his toe AND he was hit by a car which had him out for almost half a year, My Grandfather had a quad bipass surgery,  I went to Atlantic City, My cousin got married, I saw phil collins in concert, went to a Yankee playoff game, went to a Jets game, my other cousin got engaged, i started working out, "feelings of love", suffered through Qm and multiple presentations, made some hofstra friends (just a few), and much, much more but nothing too exciting.

For new yrs it looks like i will be attending a "party" at a fire house with food and drinks as far as the eye can see..or if not the place has a pool tablewhere i can show off the skills! HAve a good new yr every1.

Stay classy Long Island.

Done and Done

It's all over. No more crammin, no more stress, no more school- no more Tiger Woods, no more group projects, no moreAfro thunder, no more BOMBS, no more Paul E Diggs, no more cross dressing teachers, no more love of my life, no more Bernie, no more free newsday. Its a bitter sweet feeling really but all things, good or bad, must come to an end and now i look foward to 1 month of ME time!!!! Im gonna see so much of me im gonna be sick of myself.

My birthday came and gone and it wasn't anything like i had hoped although it wasnt bad. I walked into work and the first thing i heard was "hey its the birthday boy" i was steaming inside..my secret was out and i was afraid of the consequences. Every1 knew! It appears bert let the cat out of the bag and told Samantha and she baked me cup cakes- which spelt out "happy birthday mike!" Every1 saw them and knew. It was touching though b/c (1) Sammy is the sweetest person in the world! (2) it was the first time she made cup cakes and she spent a lot of time on them and (3) they were vanilla and delicious!!!! So i wasnt upset but rather flattered that she thought enough of me to do that. However from any1 else i wouldnt have wanted a gift!!!!

I am currently listening to 1 song of the Von Bondies in a continuous loop. If u arent familiar with them they sing the theme song of Rescue me- the firefighter show. If u arent familiar with that i suggest u do ur self a favor and get with the friggen program. Its the best show on tv besides the sopranos - better than entourgae! Watch the show if u can find it on dvd somewhere and dl the song-u wont regret it!

Current events- Peterson got the death penalty- GOOD! Pelosi convicted- Good! It about time the justice system started convicting these bastards. The bad thing is they will be fighting the decisions forl ike 15 yrs but whatever atleast peterson will get ass raped for the majority of his remaining life.

Thats all for now.

Almost Done

I intended to write a lil journal yesterday but i never got around to it- the only thing i got to post was that green day song. Now  i have heard that song on countless occasions and everytime i'd just say wow greenday i can't believe they are still around. But yesterday was the first time i heard the words- now let me start by saying they arent brilliant lyrics however they do touch upon something dear to me- Walking alone! I know i have friends and family but thier are times where i feel i am alone in some respects and i need to be alone. The song reminds me of my reliance on myself and thats why i like it. I doubt this makes sense to a lot of people but for me its crystal clear and thats why i felt the need to post it. Its one of those things where if u dont get it u prob never will.

I just finished taking the final of all finals- QM. Not my best outting on a final but i think well enough to pass the class and really thats all that im looking for. Yes i'd like to keep my GPA up but hopefully my other classes will bring it up. I got an A- in research Marketing, i and i should get the same in international and god willing an A in retail marketing. Theonly question marks are in Qm and Managment 110. I think ill be ok though. My management final is tomm so im gonna get cracking on that now- ill talk to u all later.

SCHOOLS ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREEN DAY

 

Musical Interlude: "I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where
it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone"
...Oh man- if this isnt the opening track to the soundtrack of my life i dont know what is.

Near the Day

Schools almost over, finals just remain on a semester that seems to have flown by. With the exception of Quantitive Methods- (a class that has caused me so much stress and with out a doubt a few years off my life), all my classes were ok and i didnt mind going to class. I even was more soically active this year befriending atleast 1 or more people in each class. Thats certainly an upgrade from my grand total of 2 all last year. I also gained a crush/love that will soon pass me by on December 17th. I know that may sound sad but it isnt really. it was actually a positivie expereince for me. Like i mentioned i havent had a crush on some1 since high school so this experience showed me that my heart still works and im not the hopelessly miserable bastard that i thought i had become. I'll try to muster up enough courage however thier is a strong chance my nuts will disinegrate causing me to pussy out.

In the "how sad have i become" file,  you will see that i added pictures of hilary duff to my aol profile. You know ur life has taken a turn for the worse when ur looking at the Disney Channel's website for Hot Pics lol. But 3 photos of HD are up if u wanna see them and laugh at my patheticness.

My birthday is this month and people are already starting up with oh i cant wait to get u something and all that bullshit People, for 21 years my birthday was the best kept secret since jimmy hoffa but for whatever reasons now every1 or almost every1 knows about it. I am not big on birthdays b/c for me its a day of being spoiled or pampered and i dont want that...according to some people im already treated in a high reguard everyday. I'd rather be hog tied and punched in the face repeatedly. So for me the best present is just to continue business as usual- i think its an easy gift yet some people just cant seem to deliver. I have decided to shut my phone off for the majority of the month as i have done in past years and i may even lock myself in my house... but i doubt it will do me any good since sometimes i just need to get out! ill let u know how the story unfolds as the day draws neaerer.

I saw oceans 12 yesterday- ehhhhh. Not as good as the first one but not as bad as a vin deisel movie. Somewhere in between.

Well thats all for now- catch u on the flip side.

Tis the season

Well folks, I'm back. Its been a lil while since my last entry but its pretty much been business as usual here at the Cat house. School work and Saf-t_swim is pretty much the summation of the past week, its actually the story of my life...well thats not true, being overweight, alone, and a big time loser has to be factored in thier somewhere too but hey nobodys perfect- rite? rite!

Whats new u ask? Well over the break i got to see my boy Matt from Boston. It's so rare i get to see him cuz hes always floating to a different part of the country to visit some1.  So it was cool to see him on the last day on long island. We and some of the boys from Mac went to the nutty irishmen, drinks were flowing, 80's music was playing and i was even doing a lil dancing (obviously buzzed). The girl ran away within 30 seconds but it was a cool feeling to actually be a sleezy bar guy for once.

Pause for a musical interlude: Please don’t ask me what’s on my mind
I’m a little mixed up, but I’m feelin’ fine
When I’m near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a vulcano that’s hot...im all shook up

Anyway i hope every1s thanksgiving was good, mine was nice. But how is it that its only Dec 4th and i'm already sick of X-mas. Actually i'll tell u why- the whole concept of X-mas is played out like an Usher song at an all girls school. Its really amazing how radio stations and TV exploit the ever loving Sh!t out of this holiday. Even on thanksgiving day!!!- the parade should end with a huge turkey float being harpooned my indians and pilgrims but instead it ends with America's favorite jolly fat man. Now i dont wanna go off on a rant here but is this really the message we want to send to american children? The holiday of giving thanks isnt important enough to be appreciated on its own friggen day!! I guess whats really important is to celebrate a holiday where the most important thing is getting a new pair of socks. And whats with the tree lighting ceramony?! whats so fascinating about bright colors on a huge ever green? If i wanted to see some1 light a tree i'd put on BET and watch Xzibit lite a duby.Atleast that would be entertaining.  And the poor jews and african americans have to sit through this. For their holidays they get the CEO of CBS sitting with his family in between commercial breaks wishing every1 a happy channukah- is kwanza even a holiday anymore.. or was it ever? I hate to sound like a scrudge but im just fed up...i think u guys get my point .

I had another QM test- last time i was unbelievably optimistic however this time im not so optimistic at all. Passing this test is like a wet dream at this point. I am just hopping my grade peeks above 40. i need to pass this class b/c if i dont i fear i will comitt suicide. it wont be one of those clean suicides either where they find the guy in the garage, nope im going out in style maybe ill jump 30 stories or maybe ill dive into a sea of sharks, or even jump into the blades of a hellicopter. Whatever i do it wont be pretty believe me- so lets all hope i pass this fargin class. (im serious i cant envision taking this class over again, i just wouldnt be able to). Moving on to greener pastures- i dunno what that really means...i think i will get an A in my retail marketing class- possible A in research although not likely, a B in my Mgnt 110, and hopefully an A- in International marketing. this is all an estimate guessing i do ok on all the finals and yes i have a final in all of my classes.

Gobble Gobble

Can u feel it? Can u taste it? It's almost time for....  DAAAA Turk-ayyyyyyyy!!! Now I'm not a big turkey guy, HOWEVER, this year i am excited about sinking my teeth into that delicious Thanksgiving bird. I know i'll be sick of turkey by the weeks end but im trying not to think of that. I've got an image in my head of a huge turkey running around, gobbling all the while im chasing it..licking my lips and trying to spear it with a fork...  And now I'm picturing the soup, the yams, the cranberry sauce, the corn suffle, the stuffing, the punch, and the desserts. OH BABY!

Lets not forget what thanksgiving is all about - it isnt about families fueding or getting housed- although sometimes it results in both. But the true meaning of the holiday is about giving thanks. And dont we all have a lot to be thankful for?  I know i have a lengthy list. Some of u should be thankful for this journal lol. But honestly health is something thats on the top of my list- My brother is healthy after being hit by a car and thats the most important thing in my life...so this year has a special meaning to it. I also have a lot more to be thankful for but i dont wanna bore u all with my emotional garbage. So just dont forget to give thanks b4 u dig into the wealth of food this holiday. 

Now we pause for a musical interlude:
"Oh, I see her face every where I go,
on the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen her?
Oh, I hear her voice as cold winds blow
in the sweet, music on my radio
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?'

Anyway I dont have school tomorrow but i didnt tell the folks that- im getting up as usual but im heading to the mall to do some much needed X-mas shopping. I really need gift ideas so if u got any sugestions please feel free to drop me a line. I may just go tommow to get a feel for whats out there- then ill do the heavy duty shopping after turkey day- u feel me? Aight im gonna go hit the gym and get pumped up so ill check u all later and if i dont see u all- HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

BLUE MOON

Lets kick it off today with a quick what up to all my peeps. If by any miracle i ever become famous and had my own tv show it be called "The Peep's Show" just for u loopy bastards. But enough of the hyptheticals, whats going on in my world today? Well not too much. Right now I'm listening to Lil Jon and i gotta admit im kinda diggin it. I have listened to Fabolous, Eminem, Destiny's Child and Britney's CDs in the last week and believe it or not Lil Jon and britney were the best ones.What? YEAHHH!

My 1st power point presentation is happening on Friday morning and im not happy about it for a number of reasons. The first is cuz i pieced together this son of a bitch so if something goes wrong it's placed soully on my shoulders and i dont wanna be held responsible for droppin every1s grades. The 2nd reason is i have to orally present a few slides- i figured by me puttin everything together i could avoid speaking but no such luck. I'll be spitting and stuttering like porky pig up there.

The 3rd reason is after the presentation i will prob never speak to the new love of my life ever again. It was called a semi crush in the last entry but i think its graduated to .. feelings of LOVE lol. It's not like my sick jessica alba or hilary duff obsessions which may be a stupid comparison being that i will never meet them. However, keep in mind its all i have had in the past couple of years. But this girl is so amazing that she blows away every female aquaintance i have had here at hofstra. So i want her to be forced to interact with me for as long as humanly possible lol. I know i should talk to her and get her number and of course i really want to but b/c of my lack of testicular fortitude and sure feeling of rejection im sure i wont (translation = im a PUSSSS). I know it may sound pathetic to most but let's be nice and label it realistic. But hey it was fiun while it lasted.....maybe ill see her next semester and she'll be forced to talk to me again. We have to meet tommorow nite for our final meeting to get everything in order.

OHHHH, i wasnt gonna put this in the journey but its kind of a must since it was the funniest thing that happend in my 21 years on this planet.  Yesterday at the gym myself, brad (whose b-day was yest...happy bday B-Mizo), bert and scott were doing our normal muscle pumping work out. After the w.o. we headed over to thescales to respectively check our weights- a gym ritual. I get on the scale and told scott "watch the show" but the real show came when Scott went on the scale. He stepped up and was adjusting the scale when Old Dirtty Bert, AKA Dirt McBert came behind him and dropped him! But it wasnt the ordinary pants droop, no sir- like London Bridges they all fell down, pants and undies. Scott's twig and berries, or Meat and potatos- were exposed to any onlooker in the vacinity. His inital reaction was absolutely priceless. His mouth wide open and his eyes looking at us with a look of complete embarasement and panic at the same time. His voice let out frequent shreiks, he didnt even pull up his boxers for a good 5 seconds. Then he pulled up just  his boxers and stood in those for a minute or so, still with a look of disbelief.He didnt even have the mind frame to pick up his pants. He made the shreiking nose for atleast a minute till he finally calmed down a little bit. The whole time we being the good hearted and caring friends we are- pointed and laughed uncontrollably LOL. I told scott not to worry i didnt see his junk cuz my cheeks were up so high from laughing it affected my vision.Ahhh man- good times, good times!

Quotables: Sorry my French isn't so good, i only know the basic French phrases like,  "I surrender"

Hofstra tales

Hey peeps, i know its been a little while since my last entry, i'd say im sorry but im really not. I dont mean to be rude, im just a little cranky. I feel exahusted cuz I got less then 6 hrs sleep last nite (poker nite) and the new work out that we started yesterday left me drained. But the show must go on, so here are a few things that happened this week in my dismal life:

1- I went to class for a test on marketing research and as always on exam days the place was packed. At Hofs as im sure it is with every school, some "students" only show up on test days. I dont know how they do it or why they waste their tuition like that but hey  thats none of my business. So like i said the place was packed and the seating was scrambled. Its funny how the people that sit right in the front row every day move all the way to the back row on exam days like the teacher wont suspect anything-  i always get a kick out of that. Anyway my regular seat was still available so i was happy about that- im not a big fan of change. So i got settled in my seat, took out my number 2 pencils (freshly sharpened) and i got in test-mode. Then this gargantuan/gi-normous woman- as tall as she was wide wobbles her way to the seat next to me and plops down on the seat like Yokozuna. She was bigger then a linebacker but slimmer than a bus- thats the only way to describe her. Needless to say this displeased me. I felt squished the whole exam but thats not even the worst part. During the  exam as shes cheating off every paper in sight, which as i said she has a large field of view....she's like the person that always sits infront of u at the movies with their enormous sized cranium obstructing the entire screen..except her whole body was biggie sized.....oh yeah, while she was taking the test she would take out a hard candy- i suspect it was smarties cuz she had millions of em and she would crunch on them every 3 seconds. Like David Spade said in Tommy Boy I could actually hear her getting fatter. I could almost hear the candys screaming for mercy. The loud crackling and crunching was so distracting. I got so upset i wanted to punch this monster right in the mouth but i feared shed eat my fist. So i finishe dup as early as possible and fled for freedom.

2- As i mentionedb4 i am doing several group projects. The 1st i chose to do on my own, the other one im doing with a spanish speaking guy- we hada another member but he hasnt been around in months, and the last project im doing with a group of people. I usually dont like groups cuz it forces me to interact with people that id typically rather not talk to but this group of kids seems ok. Some of them are a little out there but for the most part- good people. 1 chick is absolutely stunning- and shes cool too. You know how hot chix are usually bitches or snooty but shes a down to earth person. I can honeslty say shes the 1st semi crush i have had in yrs but i dont wanna talk about that. I wanna talk about the work....I usually dont trust people to do their work, so i wanted to be the one to put it on powerpoint however these slackers still havent gotten to me their basic assignments and i know we are going to have the worst presentation. i dont wanna be the annoying guy who tries to get on every1 but i wanna get this shit done so i can move on to other stufff...not to mention this all has to be ready by friday!!! So we have a meeting tonite at 8 in the Hammer Lab- its not gonna be fun!

3- I had desserts with the Mirenda family and 2 of their friends from Rhode Island. It was nice- every1 was gethered around the table and shared stories. Bert's lucky to have such a great family...Like full house except with cursing. HOWEVER, i do kinda feel bad for bert. He was subject to a lot of ridicule andi know he gives it out as well as he can take it but thier was a point where he was overwhelmed with childhood insults. It was like the christmas story where everywhere u looked some1 was laughing at him. I  wanted to stick up for him but i wasnt sure how so then i got into the action by just making fun of him lol. But no i truely did feel awful.

thats it for now i got work to do.

Every Waking Moment

This weekend was a little different then most weekends. No, their wasnt any alcohol, crazy hot parties, or naked chicks...so maybe it really wasnt that different, but subtle changes did occur.

For instance on friday nite i saw a movie which is rather traditional for Fri nite but afterwards was something different. I usually dont like to stay out late cuz i have work early the next morning. Some times i have no choice like if we are playing cards or if im at some1s house and i didnt drive. But typically i like to call it an early nite and catch up on my beauty sleep- God knows i need it. Well things were going as planned until the loveable but insensible James got the radical notion to go to the city at 12:30 at nite. Call me psychotic but i wasnt feelin that idea. If it were a Sat nite i'd certainly be gung ho but not when i gotta be up early it didnt seem prudent. So after a little bickering and bitching on my part (even threating to walk home) i got dropped off home. I'm sure their was talk about me being pus-say or whatever but its all flavor. I got a nice rest and i enjoyed every second of it. Later i found out that they didnt make it home until like 3 in the morning so i was pleased i made the rite choice.

Sat nite was a surprise birthday party for my cousin's husbands parents...translation- i dont know them. But i opted to go out of respect for the newly weds, however their was a twist. There is always a friggen twist. It was a fancy place so i hada wear a suit and as America knows, im a t-shirt and jeans type of guy. Any time i wear a suit i feel like a lawyer and we all know the world hates lawyers. So i envisioned it was gonna be a rough evening heading into it but i didnt know that this torture was going to last the whole nite. It was like Hell except not as hot and i didnt see Hitler, other than its exactly how i pictured it. Every1 wore a suit, their was a dj, a dance floor and no end in sight. It was a catered affair with little finger foods and 3 courses. Dont get me wrong the place was beautiful, and the food was great. It was located inside a gaited community, with lavish decor everywhere. But just being stuck in 1 place with loud music and no help in site isnt pleasent. Their are only so many times u can go to the bathroom without people thinking u have a problem. So i endured it all and finally walked in my house 10 after 12 with a splitting headache anda new appreciation for life.

Today i woke up late and got more of that much needed beauty sleep. Banged out some homework due tomorrow and watched the Jets get pumbled. Then i hada relive the torture of Sat nite by putting on the suit again and heading to a wake. My mom's aunt passed away a couple of days ago. So me and the fam went,  we said our condolences/paid our respects, and mingled as little as possible. 3 hrs later we were fianlly headed for the exists.

Mixed emotions

I signed on to aol today and saw a link to see Hilary Duff live in studio. Needless to say I got excited, my juices were flowing and i was ready. So i clicked on it- listened to 1 song then i tried to watch the second video and my computer went haywire! AOL wouldnt respond and then the whole screen turned white. So after the 6th time i realized that its just a booby trap and i've given up on it.

Good news / bad news. The test results are in. On one i frickend nailed with a 96....The other i bombedddd with a 70. Im disappointed in the 70 cuz i studied hard for it and even went an unethical route using the calc and i still couldnt muster up a good grade, but whatever. I guess ill have to wiat till next semester for that 4.0 gpa, yeah okkkk.

I got assigned a group to work on my retail management project today. I like it better when they randomly assign people cuz if it was up to me id do it all on my own. But these people seem ok so we'll see how it plays out. One chick is hot too but knowing me ill do something stupid like fart during one of the meetings lol.

Current Events: Yesterday was election day and after some delay today, we finally got our results. Georgey Jr. is once again our US president. Am i excited about it? No, not especially, but im not sad about it either. Four more years of Bush isnt the worse thing in the world, i mean at least we dont live under a dictatorship. With Bush we have the ability to criticize him and make fun of him.. And folks thier is a lot to make fun of...and isnt humor the most important thing that we have. So why shouldnt our prez be the one to lead us in laughter as well as through thick and thin. But really as long as the country isnt in shambles we should be happy, right? Yeah, we got a hell of a lot to fear with terrorism, war and an unbalanced economy but at least we avoided a HUGE problem known as gay marrage lol. Sorry queers, 4 more years. I'm sure hair drerssers and fashion designers every where are pissed. Obviously i'm kidding (not really) but i think Bush can improve the economy and hopefully fianlly get Bin Laden. With Kerry thier is a major adujsting period and we really couldnt afford that, in my humble opinion.

The thought of Kerry or Bush as prez didnt excite me. Kerry has a face like a racehorse and the thought of seeing him every day on the news or in the papers is like owning ur own stable. He's also indesicive, its been proven that he changes his positions more than Jenna Jamison. Bush on the other hand comes off as a stuttering redneck who acts on impulse rather than reason. So my mind was set on not voting, I mean its stupid to make a vote just to do it. If i'm indifferent im not gonna waste my time or the counter's time. But somehow thats not good enough for people. They cant believe i didnt vote. "Oh you gotta vote", or "Vote or die, man"? SHUT THE HELL UP! Vote or die,  well then kill me nowww! I'm lookin for a way out of my hellish life. What the hell does that even mean, vote or die? If i voted for nader, or kerry i guess id suffer the same fate. So does every1 who didnt vote for bush have 1 foot in the grave now?- its the stupidest slogan ive ever heard which isn't surprising since it was created by P Diddy.

The Holloween Scene

Happy Hollaween. I hope everyone's holladay was a  boo-ty ful one...hahaha how many times did u hear that corney line on TV today?

I like holloween. It allows people to let loose and be crazy for a nite. You can do almost anything and everything and people are ok with it. There is no such thing as "too wierd". Even those freaks during the yr that are all gothic or in plain english:  f'd up, are accepted tonite. I'm sure even transvestites love this holliday b/c it finally allows them an oppurtunity to wear thier weekend clothes. But hey- we dont judge them. So i hope every1 had fun and safe holiday.

My weekend wasnt crazy or really anything out of the ordinary..Seaford Cinemas on friday nite which is now the official movie nite and Sat nite we played cards.But hey-  im not complaining- thats a GOOD weekend for me. You dont wanna know what a bad weekend is.

I've decided to add a current events piece to this journal. Since nothing new happens in my life let me steal from the rest of the world. This weeks big news was Ashley Simpson's lip sinking on SNL. America seems to be outraged by this but whats more of an outrage to me is how she even got a recording contract in the first place. She certainly doesnt have the sex appeal her sister does. If i had to classify Ashley Simpson's hotness, she'd rank just above Kathy Bates' ass. Shes nasty.... A perfect holloween mask, but not for the weak of heart. Secondly, her "talent" is minimal. Yes i know, so are most young female singers...true, but atleast they are hot. Britney spears may sound like a drunken chipmonk but her dancing/sluttiness makes her one of the best singers out there. Ugly Simpson couldnt pull that off. The only time i wanna see her sliding down a poll is if shes gonna put out a fire...even then i hope shes got the fireman mask on. Christina, Beyonce and dare i say Hilary Duff can actually sing. Or if they cant- they have me fooled. Lastly, Ashley Simpson just isnt entertaining. I dont know if her Mtv show is still on the air but God knows it shouldnt be. Jessica's stupidity and hotness makes her more fun to watch than circus of the stars but Ashleys not. Her repulsive face and wooden personality makes her duller than one of those plastic butter knives. I cant stand that her popularity has risen as a result of all our misguided teens. These are the same people that allow Clay Akien and Carrot top to still collect monthly pay checks. You've seen these people. They are the ones that line up in times square for TRLin order to get: a glimpse of a B rated movie star,  and a 5 sec. shout out inwhich 3 seconds is wasted by screaming "whoaaaaaaaaah."  Why do they all do that. Can't they finish a sentance with out screaming? I'll save that debate for another time, im way off the topic. But ill have to leave you with that cuz its time for bed.

Filler

Hello journey man and women, nice to see u all again. Is that a new shirt? Oh it looks new, well you look wonderful....anyway....this entry is just to hold u guys over i dont have much to write about but ill give it a whirl.

Things have been a little hectic recently.. i know i say that a lot but its true. i thought things were finally slowing down but that doesnt really seem to be the case. Every second thier seems to be another deadline that im trying to make. The past couple of days i have been studying my ass off for 2 midterms.. I think i did ok on both but i dont wanna jinx myself. The first midterm was retail management...and thats the only class i really enjoy. It's  a hard class but i enjoy it b/c the material is pretty interesting. My teacher is smart and she brings a lot of knowledge to the table and thats refreshing. You dont know how many times i've listened to know-it-alls who just "teach" through power point slides and dont offer examples or helpful tips. It's like being taught rocket science by pauley shore. But atleast pauley shore is entertaining...argueably of course. Their robotic and dry teaching isnt worth my time or tutitionm payments. Things are so much easier to understand when u have actual examples or situations that relate to the material. But I digress. So yeah i think i did ok on that 1 and the other midterm was QM! As u know i hate that class- its the 1 that constantly kicks my ass..but i think i did ok. i certainly didnt get a100% cuz thats just nutty but i think i passed and im sure i couldnt have done that w/o my calc, but hey its all legal baby. So hopefully ill get back to u with some good news.

Bert's bithday bonanza was a really good time. I feel wierd writing about it cuz it feels like so long ago but it still deserves a mention. Mr Beers lived up to his name. He was heavily drunk, like an irishman on "2-fer" nite, so drunk he could barely walk... im not gonna go into any details b/c  those who didnt go dont deserve to know. The main thing is it was as good of a time as i've had in a while and we all will remember what happend for a long time, except for maybe bert and thats probably a good thing.

I have off this weekend which means...par-tay or notttt. I'm prob not going out and to ensure that i decided to give my Id to my manager at work- hes blacklisted at mulcs. So i plan on spending my weekend with my dad if he needs me- (im sure hes got something planned) and also on school work and loose ends. I've been waiting for a nice weekend off and it's finally its arrived.

And since none of u checked that ghost thing in the last journal i encourage u  again to look at it cuz it is that time of yr....NOW DO IT!

Oh and Boston won the world series...hurray, i hope the cops kill more of their rethcid, rancid, and brainless "fans". Put the Red in Red Sox....i dont mena that..but i hope the players die-QUICKLY n PAINFULLY!...Have a good nite.

UPDATE

You can all stop salivating at the mouth and put ur minds at ease cuz i'm back with a brand new journey and folks,  its long over do. Where oh where should i begin? Lets begin with the most recent and work our way backwards shall we? Ok..YANKEES and F'N BOSTON..(trying to keep it PG for the kiddies). Last night signified that absolute end of the world. Thats right boys and girls apocalypse is upon us. Why? I'll tell you why. Yankees ALWAYS beat boston, its always been that way, its more consistant the the laws of science. The Yankees vs. Red Sox series are like Superman or King Kong movies...they keep getting remade but the ending has always remained the same, Boston folds like a lawn chair on labor day. In fact it can best be compared to Peanuts. Lucy holds the ball and Chuck gets so close to kicking but always ends up (like a prostitute) lying on his back. Well that all changed last nite. Mr. Brown kicked it straight through the uprights and as a result sucked the fun/happiness straight out of my life. Now im not bitter cuz they lost . Im not bitter cuz they couldnt finish it. I'm not even bitter cuz the made history. I'm bitter because they lost to the biggest piles of animal excretion that have ever played the game. These guys are below scum. I mean if ur going to wear a baseball uniform, show some class. These guys are idiots, and they know it- they call themselves idiots. Thats what really burns my buns. But thier is always next yr and this winter is definately going to be exciting with heads rolling. The Boss is good like that, if u dont perform he'll use ur nuts as dice. (was that PG?)

In other news, i have had school work up the gazoo and i just barely had time to get it all done. My activities such as work, baseball, football, and house work have really hindered my time management. I have even been copying work cuz my schedule has just been soooo insane. I really hate to say that cuz next semester i plan on taking 18 credits. Somehow i'll get by. Things should start to calm down a little bit though, no new activities planned. i have another project due on thursday but i think ill start it on sun or mon and get it out of my hair..the little thats left. It's a group project who are my partners? Me Myself and I..i have no friends!

What else is new? Well the Mirendas are having another party, oh wait thats nothing new. It's yet another shin-dig to add to the list lol.This party is for BERTTTY he turned 21 yesterday. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY "BERTT-A"!

The Jets game was really cool- we took the train to penn then walked to the bus station then took the bus to Giants Stadium. The game was really fun to watch, and fireman Ed is a laugh and a half, the passion this guy has. If u have no idea of what im talking about let me fill u in. Fireman ed is like the Jets mascot except hes a real FDNY fireman who attends every Jets home game. The crowd looks to him to get pumped. Sometimes, not always he gets hoisted on his brothers shoulders and leads the croud in cheer. He'll tell every1 "they need us!!!" so the crowd gets loud then he holds out his arms and the crowd gets quiet until he starts the J-E-T-S chant. It's like a sing-along at church except thier is no gay lyrics and the only time some1 says Jesus is when they are upset at the refs. It's a blast though. You havent lived until u have experienced a Jets game. Your prob thinking that i havent lived since thats my idea of fun but dont judge me. We all get our jollys somehow i choose sports some people choose drugs or porn.

Alright i'm tired -ill be back sooner or later with a new journal

Oh yeah..i saw a coming attraction for a ghost movie with Michael Keaten and EVP sounds and stuff and i dont really believe in ghosts and stuff but i did some searchin around and now i kinda believe in it. Heres a link i found- ill let u guys be the judge Mist or Ghost?.

One last thing to leave u with- we were having a debate in class like a week ago and every1 was gettin into it except of course for me so one of the kids asked me y i wasnt getting involved and i said:

Quotables: "nah man i go with the flow- i dont make waves, i fuckin ride them" then i made the surfing hand gesture. he was dying and I thought it was great... and im still quietly laughing. Ahhh good times.

Yet A New Low

Yesterday and today i had work and its just been so busy that i know i made like 60 mistakes. Im not a perfectionist but i hate feeling overworked and stressed and thats what happens every weekend, it sux. Me and Angellica- my co-worker talk about quitting every week and every week i think more and more about it. Maybe not quitting but i cant take the weekends anymore. I get yelled at by angry parents all day and its just upsetting after a while.

But yo holla swallla journey voyagers. I was breaking it down in the S town with my nig, Biz to da Mizo, know what im saying, We'se be  popping and dropping but neva coppin like u know how we do. But most def a shout out goes to all my ill town homies who be keepin it gutter like a mutter futter- u feel me?...

Well odds are u dont, and theres a good reason for it- i didnt say anything. Yeah thier are words written, sentances too, but absolutely nothing was said. I'm so sick of listening to rappers/pro-athletes of the african american community, mutter the phrase  "know what im saying" when its so blatenly obvious that no1 does, he prob doesnt even understand all of the things he said. Its so annoying. Its not ebonix- its moronix  (patented saying 1). Dont get me wrong i use some of the lingo in jest but i would never talk that way in a serious conversation. And i shouldn't just pick on the african americans- although they do call themselves gangstas but i dont remember seeing "50 cent" in the Godfather (pateneted saying 2). All ethnicities do it, actually thats incorrect. Lets be honest other than the brothers, i think the latinos are the only other ones who run the idiot language game. I never heard a wise chinese man ever mention how he be bustin his guns off in da cribb or how his biatch be trippin...although i prob would pay god money to hear it. But anyway talk whatever way makes u happy and if u wanna talk like an idiot just do it towards ur idiot friends.

Back to my life..I was filling out a form the other day for a chance to win a signed hilary duff CD or guitar (with other prizes being a lizzie mcgwire make-up kit or clothing) and i realized just how sad my once-so promising life has become. Right b4 i was going to submit it i stopped myself. I then laughed in shame. I've really become so pathetic and i need some change in my life.  I realized a g/f wouldnthurt. So i turn to u guys, if u know any1 interested lets set it uppp lol. AND NOT LOOPY (a crazy "trainer" at the gym that likes me)!!! I dont wanna be pathetic anymore.

A Bronx Tale

Ahhh, i know its been a while but i havent forgotten about u poor bastards that are starving for ur weekly dose of "catchup". So without further a-do, let me fill u all in on the week that was. Monday and Tuesday were typical days that pretty much some up my entire life- boring, uneventful and forgetable. However, Weds was amazing, it was like i died and was living some1 elses life! Now i dont believe in reincarnation but if i did, id wanna come back as some rich guy from a rich family like the Trumps..except i dont want his hair- id rather stick with my baldness that have his hiar- how sad is that...But anyway id just spread the wealth. Id give money to chariteis, to my less fortunate relatives- u know the ones that wear the same suits to every funeral and wedding. And id def. use it to score some hot freak-nasty chix but thats cuz im pathetic...howd we get here? lets get back to Wedsday.

My brother scored some sweet tickets to the yankee/twins playoff game (he won them in a raffle..and for whatever reason he didnt wanna go so he gave them to me!). So to make a long story short me and Boye were making like J-lo and heading to the south, south bronx. But peeps listen to me when i say this, awesome isnt even the word. Just to see the field was worth sittin through the traffic...but the game didnt disappoint either. From the first swing of the bat- Jeter's leadoff HR we knew we were in for a good nite. We saw an incredible seasaw battle. The crowd was into it- not as pumped as i thought but still electrified. Great seats, great game, great time. (yankees won in 12 innings) I dont wanna make u envious with more gushing adjectives and gloating, so i'll leave it at that. The oppurtunity cost was high though. I had a test the next day which i didn't do too stellar, and a test the following day (today) which i did even worse. But i wouldnt change a damn thing. I got the yankee fever.

Unfortunatley the world stop laughing for a moment once the news that the comedic genius known simply as Rodney, passed away this week. I thought he was the best in the biz with his witty one liners and i am def. saddend by his sudden departure.

Quotables: "My parents hated me i tellya, my bath toys were a hair dryer and a toaster" Rodney

Caternity

We all know that Hofstra isn't an ivy league school but its certainly respectable. Not an easy school to get into by any means. You cant be any goon off the street, u have to have some form of intelligence to get accepted... Now with that being said, how is it that these "future leaders of tomorrow" don't know how to pass around an attendance sheet? Am i the only one who notices this? The concept seems simple enough just sign and pass, but somehow problems are inevitable with this system. Either people just leave it next to them or they pass it in the opposite direction (down instead of up). The worst part is that it happens in every class. Like i could see if its the same moron who does it but its not, its contageous. It must be one of the side effects of the STDs that run rampent in our school. Ugh...burns my biscuits.

Another thing that bothers me are the fraternities. Thats right frat boys, im talking to u. I would NEVER join a fraternity because they stand for everything i detest.  Sure the concept may seem cool to some- live in a house with a bunch of peers who will be ur "brothers". But lets put this idea under a microscope and take a closer look at it, shall we. In order to be part of this orgy of manhood that they call a fraternity you have to pledge first. Now maybe im wrong but i dont believe i need to prove myself to any1 to gain their friendship. I think thats a montra that i was taught way back in pre-K. I mean are these people so starved for friends that theyd compete against others just to be some1s slave?Heres a news flash- being a slave isnt fun- ask harriot tubman if she remebers the good old days of slavery, or any other southern black person that had to fight for their rights to be free. But these assholes sign upp for it.   Jesus Christ,  what happend to the phrase "love me or hate me for who i am" dont vie for some1 esles acceptance... What u see is, what u get- No Gimmick Needed.... I've heard stories of how pledges were pissed on inorder to be accepted.  Thats friggen insanity at its absolute pinnacle. I dont even like being in a crowded bathroom  let alone being some1s bathroom.

Second of all the whole idea of being social turns me off. I don't wanna mingle, im not the mingling type. If i wanted to socialize i'd go out on weekends but thats just not me. A dream vacation for me is solitary confinement at the local prison.  Yea i wanna get in good with the local sororities, who doesnt, but at what cost? I'd rather get shot down as a lowly transfer student from levittown than be accepted cuz of IMa Masta Beta.

 Finally as u probably could tell im not comfortable calling people i barely know "brothers". I have two brothers by birth that i want to denounce sometimes- i doubt im going to find enough room in my heart to welcome these jackasses as my family. I'd much rather be part of the cat house than the frat house (and i hate being home).

The whole idea is pretty fruity if u ask me, which of course u didnt. But automatically any1 who i encounter that is part of a fraternity loses a little of my respect. So delta sigma cia, lamda lamda lamda- or any other all male (non sport) affiliated groups keep ur brotherhood. I'd rather keep my personal respect then be part of ur "Hofstra Pride".

Head Cheerleader

I dont mean to be my own cheerleader here but i have always been a decent student. In high school i didnt bust my ass but i certianly did well. In Nassau, i maintained a good enough GPA to get a partial schollarship to Hofstra. Even here at Hofstra i have managed to stay a float- while working hard. And don't get me wrong, my grades won't knock ur socks off but i think i can hang in their with the best of them, certainly better than ur average joe. But only 1 class has consistancy kicked the ever loving shit out of me and that class is QM/Statistics. I (along with scott) dedicated a whole winter break to QM. We woke up early, went to class, did the hw, studied and we still felt overwhelmed by the never ending work that it takes just to do 1 problem. But thats not the issue. If it was just a lot of work but i knew how to do it, i would be ok with that . Unfortunatley on every problem i find myself  begging for help like a homelss man. We got outta the winter class pulling out ok grades but for the hrs we put in we def. deserved A's respectivly. Now fast foward to the present we are REVIEWING the old stuff and im already behind. The worst part is the stuff he goes over doesnt cover all the problems we are responsible 4. Let me tell ya man, never in my life have i thrown more fits doing a leisurely day of homework than today...I was beating the crap outta my furniture cuz my answers didnt match the back of the book for the 18th straight time....i didnt even get this stressed for my SATs. I dont wanna get a tutor cuz that to me says that i cant do it and i hate that feeling, as it is i already rely on scott like a crutch, or like a new born baby relys on his mother's funbags.  This class has me on the brink of suicide and im not even joking. If i had hair id be pulling it out right about now.  I need geek DNA but until then ill keep encouraging myself to get through this class. Wish me luck

Raise the roof

After weeks and weeks of anticipation i finally got my raise. A typical pay increase is .50 cents but my boss gave me a dollar raise. It still isn't much $ but i def. apprecaite it b/c atleast it shows that they appreciate me. I personally dont feel that i deserved the additional money but now that i got the money i have been motivated to do more work and earn my money.

 Hmmmmm, What else is new in my life?

Well it's once again time for yankee baseball and soon enough it will be time for playoff baseball.... and that my friends makes my life worth living. To see the Yanks vs Boston in the playoffs brings a small glimmer of joy to my otherwise empty life. Tonight i get a little taste of  that happiness as the yanks play the bosox (for the 16th time this season lol).

Sorry 4 the short update entry I gotta keep watchin the game and then i got a movie to catch - so talk to u all soon. Happy holidays to all u torah readers.

Quotables: Star Jones replaced Joan Rivers on the red carpet at this year's Emmy Awards. Which is good news for everyone except the actual carpet.

All In

Holy Crapolla!! Tonite I was "all in"-volved with the single greatest poker tourney in the history of poker ..or that i have ever witnessed (in my humble opinion). Over 200 people vying to make it into the top 30.  Top prize is over a thousand dollars and the best part is that its only 20 smackers to enter.  Few can win money but every1 has a shot.  Cue the music...My nigga Scotty "All- In" Nyer took out the rift raft like nobody's business. Putting his poker life on the line like it was nothing. He finally took home 4th place and some nice mullah to go with it. Words cant describe the roller coaster ride we... (thats right i was along for a lot of the ride) went on. 1 thing i learned- queen 8 is still a top hand no matter what any1 says and also never give up the faith. Scott was shooting for 30th place but he stuck with it and made the fianl table and eventually the top 5- un freakin believable.

                                                                                               

Bizzarre/ Really random Side note- Has any1 else seen the video for "my goodies" by Ciara and found themselves scratching their heads? It's a hot song but the video always leaves me puzzled. She keeps talking about her goodies but i dont see anything good about her. She has a face like a cross dressing sammy davis junior and she always gives this disgusting facial expression that makes me cringe whenever i watch it. Not only that her body is a little "sloppy joe", she's got less curves than an exclamation point (!). But whatever- its the perfect song for radio and petey pablo does a bang up job. Bada Boom, Bada Bam, Ba-Bam.

I Get Around

Today is a very big day in the history of this journal. What's so special about today? Well let me first tell ya what it isn't. The big announcement is not interesting or entertaining to any1 but myself.  I'm not retiring although i probably should. Nope, the news is also not that i finally realized that i have no life. The news is actually the exact opposite. The Big News is that u guys havent realized that my life is worth beans. Nothing news worthy ever happens to me but everday u come back to waste ur time. So without further ado here is the big news spoken in the immortal words of my second favorite dead rapper/criminal Tupac Shakur- "I made a G today." Thats right kiddies, over 1,000 viewers have logged on to see what catty bones hasn't been doing.

Now maybe some would view this as a minor achievement and belive me i dont think of it as my life highlight but i do believe it's sigificant. The reason is simplely b/c i have never once endorced or promoted this website. I just laid it on the bottom of my homepage and u guys whoever u are..gobbled it up. James told me that he had just as recently as yesterday stumbled upon it. So for ur sick and twisted interest in my life - i thank u. I dont understand but i thank u.

Thats all i wanted to report today - i would say stay tuned but i have a feeling u guys arent going anywhere.

Got My Phil This Weekend

Let me tell u- im not used to action but this 4-day weekend has been filled with action from start to finish. With Leigh's birthday thursday nite, an intense Yankee-Boston series, a concert in the heart of NYC, and a sports filled sunday my weekend hasnt seen much relax time.

Thursday nite kicked off the festivities with Leigh's (bert's older sister) b-day at Chilis. It was a small gathering which i didn't mind at all. The less people the more i smile. I ordered the chicken quesadillas but i gotta say i was less than impressed with the food- too many onions! Until thursday nite i didnt even know quesadillas had onions..but i scarfed em down anyway. Then i dorve Sam's car home...Thats right I drove. I dont even like driving my own car but Sam (bert's younger sister) wasnt feeling well so i stepped in to save the day.

Friday nite my eyes were glued on the TV with the Yankee/Red Sox game...even though the yankees lost a heartbreaker it was still an amazing game that kept my interest for the rest of the series.I despise Boston. I think the only group of people that i hate more than the red sox are the gays lol j/k.

Yesterday i worked my usual Sat. shift but then i had to quickly haul my ass home to get ready for the Phil Collins concert. I like phil collins as much, maybe even more than the next guy but i really wasnt expecting to have a good time. I figured it would be awkward going with Angelica (from work) but I'm happy to say that i was wrong. I actually had a pretty good time. The concert was great- he sounds just as good in person as he does on his CDs. The only awkward part of the nite was when i bumped into fellow Mac graduate Brian Wilson, his g/f and his mom and we had what can only be described as a forgettable conversation that consisted of lots of fake laughs and half hearted smiles. But other than that the nite was good. A little quiet at times but it wasnt awkward for me at all..i'd even dare to say a fun nite.

Today after a long rest from last nite i turned on the final Yankee/Boston game and i was delighted to see the yanks get an early lead and never look back. Now the Jets are playing and if they win that will put a cherry on my sunday...and on my weekend.

gotta do some hw i may or may not be back

Picture This

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all that celebrate..i personally dont, but i'd certainly rush a Shawna if her last name was Dabbs...haahaha jewish jokes- gotta love em. Anyway, right now im in relax-mode, my catty senses are tingling and telling me im prob stayin in tonite so i mite as well get a jump on things and put my feet up.

I used to be addicted to those hot or not/am i the bomb websites, where u rate people based on looks but that was a just a phase and i've kinda moved on...but not 4 the better. Now i'm addicted to webshots- the site where people post semi-private pictures of their friends and stuff. Its a little sleezier to me cuz they are posted for their friends to look at not some lonesome 21 yr old boy but whatever, it doesnt stop me. I dunno why but their is something about pictures that draw u in. Like if ur sitting in class and 2 girls in front of u are looking at pictures, u know ur rubbernecking big time to see if u can get a glance....you'll move ur seat if it can get u a better view...or maybe thats just my problem but whatever, these are convenient and easier on the neck. Most of the stuff is garbage but every so often u stumble upon some classic kodak moments that u wish u were a part of. I'd just figured id share that with u to get it off my chest.

I got a busy few days coming up- tom. night is Leighs birthday party or as i like to call it Mirenda bash #312 of 365. Brad said it and i def agree- they have more parties than any other family. Someone takes a shit and they hire a dj to celebrate lol. Of course im exagerating but i have spent more time this yr celebrating with the mirendas than with the Catanzaros. Don't get me wrong i absolutely love the family and dont mind going but i'd like them to limit the parties to 1 day. Which reminds me, Berts b-day is creeping closer i better buy some party favors for the 2 month long celebration. lol The other thing this weekend is the Phil Collins concert. I dunno how i got roped into goin but this sat. after work ill be heading to the msg to see the former lead singer of genisus sing. I gotta learn how to say no, cuz i feel like im always gettin shafted for other peoples happiness. I'm sure it wont be bad, i may even have fun but for whatever reason i get the feeling its gonna be rough. That's all for now. Peace.

No Luck 101

Was it as good 4 u as it was 4 me? I know i havent been that excited in months..alright listen up u perverts im not talkin about anything sexual. I'm talking about the Jets game. It was all that i hoped for and more...if u saw it u know what im taking about. I dont wanna bore u all with a recap of the game but i just hope all my future sundays are that entertaining/glorious.

I went to my management class today and i had 2 new arivals both of which i knew and wasnt happy to see. 1- JOE. Scott knows this bloke. He's jabba jaws to the nth degree. He was in our summer class and if u were anywhere near him u'd get sucked into a verbal onslaught of bullshit and nonsence and there is just no way out. I hope to God he doesnt sit anywhere near me or my head will burst like a waterballon. 2- Sabrina Krug. I dont have a problem with Sabrina at all. I just dont wanna be forced to exchange pleasantries and feel the need to catch up on old times every time i see her. I think every1 can relate to that. A hello every so often is fine but once we get into "how was ur summer" or "do u still talk to..." then i get irritated. No need, no need.

This may sound like something an aneroxic chick would say but i have been feeling really fat latley. I havent worked out in 4ever and i feel like im just ballooning up. My stomach pertudes outward like a pregnant ladies....or a more thought out caparison would be the earth. It's quite spherical and certainly buldging at the equator. Unfortunatly it doesnt stop me from eating. I dont get how that chineese guy can eat like 17 hotdogs in 30 seconds and never gian a pound yet i eat a pb&j sandwich and i have to unbutton my pants. Life isnt fair.

Other than that nothing is new- i didnt go out sat nite. I usually like to be outta my house by 9:30 the latest. Once 10/10:15 hits its virtually impossible to get me to leave my house cuz by then im prob comfortably nestled on the couch with my pajamas on watching the disney channel. That was the case on Saturday. Bert tried to get me out but by then it was too late.

Quotables: "Wow- im like a huge homophobe but sometimes my biggest fear is myself."

Nothing's what it seems

The Jets season opener will soon be upon us and i know it sounds dumb but i've been eagerly anticipating football season for months. The reason is simple- i have nothing else to look foward to. But let me spare u the typical "my life sux" rant and just hope that u also seek salvation in something that will in no way effect ur life but u live and die by it anyway. With that being said, the game is tomorrow at 1pm... so if ur bored put it on and share my excitement for a little while...see how boring people live life.

Speaking of boring I saw Naploean Dynamite last night...well, almost. We walked out- it really wasnt dynomite it was more like a bomb. Totally not what i expected. i cant imagine paying for it and luckily i didnt have to but still i wasted precious minutes of my life that could have been wasted somewhere else. Perhaps im being too harsh and unfair- i tend to do that sometimes. I was preparing myself for a classic movie with a lot of laughs but the funniest part of the movie was when Bert herassed a few 7 yr olds.

Random notes- I have a teacher named Rusty Moore and SHE seems ok, a little bit on the boring side but not too bad. However things got a little more interesting when a fellow classmate and co-worker told me that SHE was actually a HE. Now of course i know Rusty is a guy's name but i just have trouble believing it- she looks like a she. She's old and and her voice isnt deep- i really dont wanna believe it so i guess i wont. But now adays u can never be sure enough to be sure...thats my new motto.

A show that i like to watch is Penn and Teller's Bullshit! I have only seen 2 shows, one was about working out and genetics and the other one was about profanity... but both were insightful and entertaining. 2 ingredients for a delightful dish.  I dont know why i brought this topic up (or why i said "delightful dish")- i have no point or punch line. It's just one of those random things but what the hell if u see it on tv give it a shot.

Thats all for now..i gotta jet

Higher Learning

The cost of a good education is insane now adays. Apparently higher learning means higher debt. Besides paying a gazillion bucks for tuition, it will also cost u another grand and a testicle of ur choosing...(chix get off easy)  for text books. It's mind boggling how they can just give young students the shaft and the worst part is "you dont even have to bend down- they just give it to u standing up.". I say this cuz i just payed $365 bucks for 2 books!!! And i still have 3 more classes to shop for. I dont know how they expect people to stay in school with such outrageous prices. I am considering calling up Shirley Sweet and seein if i can get in on some of the action lol...by the way, a new video is up and its nuts..no pun intended lol.

So as u can guess im back at Hofstra and besides my bleeding wallet things arent that bad so far. My professors actually seem cool especially one huge guy who refers to himself as "a big old fat fart". One of the first things he said to us was that hes celibate but its not by choice and if u flirt with him male or female u might get a little extra credit ...lol. He's phat in every sense of the word. The only bad part about this semester is the heavy work load- already i have 2 GROUP reports and term papers and i still didnt even attend 2 other classes yet.

Ramblings

My summer is almost officially over with school starting on Tuesday, so here i am preparing for many more similar nights alone in front of my computer.  I already spend way too much time on this damn contraption but without the possibility of going out every nite it only gets worse. Every year I become an aol junky.. and not the cool type of junky who searches for porn all day. Nope, its the junky who signs on and waits with eager anticipation for some1 to IM him but that some1 seems to never come.

Over a year ago, in a fit of rage and depression I compltely deleted my buddylist which consisted of over 125 people. I decided to start from scratch, by allowing a 2 month period in which i just added those people who IM'd me and after that i put the rest of the viewing world on block. I was rocking a single digit buddy list for a while but now every so often i make additions to it. Right now my buddylist is up to 27 but that's generous. I dont talk to half of them, maybe its time for some more cuts.

I'm watching "You've Got Mail" right now... and for some unexplainable reason i love this movie. Evertyime its on i watch it but its so not my style.  Not to say that i cant enjoy a good heart warming tale of 2 enemies that come together and fall in love . Because thats just crazy- I have seen Rocky a thousand times and Rock and Apollo hated each other but then developed a love for 1 another. But that is some how more manly than this. I guess im just a sucker for Meg Ryan. There is something so adorable about her that makes me wish i could find something or some1 just like her. But when it's all said and done ill probably wind up with an over weight and over the hill ex-prostitute who will cheat on me for a dime bag from her former pimp..or maybe not.

Besides Meg Ryan there are a few other Hollywood chix that i cant get enough of.  The Angelina Jolie types i wont even get into cuz we already know they are amazing. But Hilary Duff and Jessica Alba and Jennifer Love Hewitt are in the crazy cute-sexy category , (its a word dont question it). Shannon Doherty, Tara Reid, and Drew Barrymore round out my crazy wild-sexy group.Thier are plenty others i just dont wanna bore u or myself any longer- time 4 bed.

Wrestling with Reality

When i was younger I always wanted to be a writer. To be able to stay home and collect paychecks...the whole idea is a friggen  wet dream. My time out with Workers Comp was a small taste of greatness. Unfortunately i realized a long time ago that my dry personality hinders me cuz i lack the creativity to write novels or childrens books. So the next thought would be an autobiography, but as we all know that doesnt look like its happening. If i were to write a book about my life it's obvious just by  these journal entries that it be really short and more boring than a Ben Stien reality show. So since my life isnt worth the paper it would be printed on the only thing left to write about is something i have a an interest in. I'd have to be an expert in something. Money? Sex? Love? no of course not- that would actually be respectable. My only expertize involves weekly tv shows and PPVs of Wrestling.

Wrestling has forever been my escape hatch from the rest of the world. When i was young i would sit and watch WWF every Sat and Sunday at noon...then i'd come back at 7:05 to watch WCW's version of wrestling. My pops would alway have us working even at a young age but we were allowed to break from our chores to watch wrestling. Normally kids out grow wrestling by the age of 5 but for some reason i kept getting sucked in. Hulk Hogan was like God to me when i was younger.. i cried at the idea of his retirement. But that was at a time where wrestling catered to younger fans - guys like the Honky Tonk Man, Demolition, Ultimate Warrior, and Bushwackers were whacky gimmicks that younger audiences took a liking too. But as i got older i stopped cheering for the good guys, Mr. Niceguy Hulk wasnt God anymore. The business changed as well...it was a dark age where a few people tried carrying the business...guys like the undertaker, shawn michaels and bret hart were the top names but only 1 person kept me coming back routinely and that was Sunny.

She was someone that i followed from her SMW days where she was known as Tammy "Fytch" and managed such wrestlers as "Prime Time" Brian Lee and my soon to be new idol The Suicide Blond Chris Candido. I would always read about her and see pictures in Pro Wrestling Illustrated and when she and Candido finally came too WWF i was happier than a pig in shit. Thats about the time when i started to realize Candido was great. He wasnt flashy, he wasnt anything special he was just a no nonsence wrestler with a hot wife. He later went to ECW and adopted the name "No Gimmick Needed" and that summed it all up. He was himself, love him or hate him he wasnt about to change. And thats who i wanted to be. I adopted the sn and the lifestyle and the rest as they say is history,  i owe that all to him...but then he and his wife became crack addicts and ruined my bid for a heart warming story. But wrestling helped me grow, it presented me with entertainment and options and i got all i could out of it. I still watch it today although not as frequent but ill always have a special place in my heart for it. and maybe some day ull read ALL about it.

 

The Can Man(l), Chris and Tammy(c), tammy in her prime as Sunny(r).

Smooth Sailing

Well well well.. tis I, the reason u all sign online each and everyday..You're true american idol and im back with an update.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. Sun was shining bright and i was enjoying every second of it, why? b/c i was soakin up the sun with a life vest on. After work i gotta call from my favortie Boye inviting me and Scotty to take a ride on his boat!!! So obviously we jumped at the oppurtunity to sail away (i'm leaving out the insanely long and drawn out argument with my parents to finally allow me to go). We slowly rode out onto the water.. which is what i really enjoyed. I dont need speed or rocky waves- just smooth sailing and im in heaven. But then we went into deeper water and dropped the anchor to try and catch some fish, of course to no avail. It was great though

I just saw MTV's version of an award show tonight and frankly it sucked...it was extremely light on the laughs. ANd i live for the laughs. They didnt even have a host for goodness sake. It was just long and boring.. and they kept showing Usher in the audience..spin the friggen camera around lets see what hilary duff, or mandy moore is doing but no its usher being a cock as usual. I hate him.

What else is new? Absolutely nothing.. Ill hope to update u with some good stuff later but as of now i got shit. Peace out kids.

Welcome Back

HE'S HOME! He's in some pain but he's back where he belongs. As u can tell from my excitement my brother Anthony was released ealry from the hospital. He's got a long way to go but im confident he'll get there. He's a strong kid, and i know he'll be up and walking soon enough. I'm so glad to see him home not b/c i hated going to Elmhurst everyday but b/c i want him to be comfortable. i'm happy he'll get to relax here and watch tv..i just hope he'll let me watch my tv shows on Sunday...but we'll settle that later.  I'm so glad to have him back and i know i kleep saying that but after 3 long days in a hospital thats really all im thinking. You really realize how important some1 like he is once you almost lose him. I dont wanna be annoying and invade his space but at the same time i dont wanna leave his side.. hes my buddy.

When i was young i left my luchbox in class and while waiting for the bus i realized it. He went back and ran and got it 4 me..as the bus was pulling away (i didnt tell the bus driver where he was) i see him chasing the bus with my lunch box in hand...thats the type of guy he was- and he hasnt changed. He always puts others in front of himself all the time. He's thoughtful and loving to those that are worth caring about. Normally im not all lovey dovey but its true- hes a great guy with a huge heart and that goes unnoticed by a lot of people. I dont wanna be sappy soill stop it right here- im sure if he ever read this hed kick my ass for even saying this much.

Tuff Break

I woke up late in the day today...the clock was ticking towards noon. I had been exhausted from the night before in which we had  a family get together for Frank's graduation (part 2). After waking up I didnt do much, i got up, opened my car windows and just hung around, watchin the yanks and family fued...i must have been thinking "things are good"..for one thing my dad wasnt home as early as he usually is. I normally could never sleep till 12 b/c he'd be home by 10:30 starting up the lawn mower or washin a car. But then the phone rang and it totally altered the remainder of my day. It was my father on the line and i heard a little concern in his voice..i knew, things werent good. He told me that my older brother Anthony had been hit by a car and had suffered a broken leg..He ashured me he was ok but thats pretty much the only info he gave to me. Later i got the whole story but for the a while i was walking around speculating the absolute worst. i mean what if my dad was only telling me partial truths not wanting me to worry..what if he has to get his legs ambutated god forbid..all these things and more were running through my head...but i finally got the full story of how he was working in the street as he always does..he set up the cones and was talkin to his partner who was sitting in the Con-Ed truck and he got slammed by a car  inside the coned area. He was luckily wearing a hard hat when he was hit cuz his head had knocked of the side view mirror, and he also lost his shoes and his vest. The ambulence was quick on the scene and rushed him to a nearby hospital...my dad said his face was covered with dry blood stemming from the cuts on his nose..he also has a small break in his hip which may prevent him from walking temporarily.

He will need at least 4 to 6 months off from work to recover but hopefully he'll be ok... he has already suffered an injury earlier this yr when he broke his foot...its been a really bad yr for my family when it comes to injurries, especially for my dad with my grandfather and anthony being hospitalized hes spent more time in a hospital then Tim "the tool man" Taylor.

Tomorow  morning i finally get to see him- its been a long trying day for me and im sure for the rest of my family. My mother's side all came to the house one by one to see get updates on his condition... and to see how me and my mother (who suffers from depression) were holding up. It looks like my August of layin in the shade with pink lemonade is over before it began but as long as hes better thats really all i care about.

Break-up

Yesterday was bitter sweet for me. I'm definately excited to see Gina and Michelle back home after a month long visit to itlay. But as Bert pointed out we (me and him) lost a lot. We basically lost our "boyfriends". Now at first i thought it was just another stupid Bertism, but as gay as that sounds it holds some truth. A month long, dare i say glorious relationship was terminated yesterday.  Throughout this past month we were inseparable. We worked out together, hung out together, played cards, hell we even went on a road trip to new jersey together...we were like the four horsemen, and never once did we fight. Me and bert concluded that it was probably the best relationship we have ever had respectively. But now we must return to our positions as number 2. We'll wait by the phones and hope but our hopes will prob go unanswered...it was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end.... On second thought screw it now i'll get to stay home at night and catch up on passed episodes of WWE and Lizzy McGwire lol. J/k its all good..nothings gonna change.

School's Out & I'm Home Free

For a single adult living with their parents is there a better feeling than having the whole house to urself? I sumbit there is not, it's pure nirvana. It's better than winning the lottery. You have freddom to do, say and act in whatever way u choose. Thats the situation i find myself in right now. I'm happier than a pig in shit- the brothers are working and my parents are shopping and i am livin large ... the man of the house. I'm takin my pants off rigth now, and ill dance in my underwear like tom cruise why u ask? because i freakin can. At times living in this house is comparible to spending life in a vietnamese prison camp. The only thing is we get better food.. what does vietnamese food even taste like? Anyway, now is one of the few times i get to feel liberated, like i beat the system. It's a short lived feeling and is probably not worth getting excited over but for the time being its exciting.

Other events going on today included my last day of school. I studied so i was prepared but for a few questions i had to break out the coin and flip.I don't really care cuz im sure i got no less than a B in the class so its all gravy. Good class though- if we got any Hofstra students who are lookin for a good Marketing class..Prof. Smagler- Consumer Behavior.. shes a bit of a talker but just let her roll- ull do fine.

 I think tonight after workin out im gonna take it easy, maybe lay on the couch and watch a movie or summin...really for no reason other than i wanna hjave a lazy nite.  Mike wants to hit up a bar but thats not really my "steeze"...unless of course my lady Lisa is bartending... i still cant get over her. damn, I need a girl friend. but yeah Im makin it a blockbuster night.

TV Dinner

After inspiring episodes of Lizzie McGwire and Boy Meets World, here i am hittin up the journey. Now, believe me i know that i have out grown some of these old shows and its pretty pathetic that i watch lizzie mcgwire on a nightly basis but i honestly think i appreciate the show more than if i was younger. In the words of Dennis Miller, "Now I dont wanna go off on a rant here but"...shows like Saved By The Bell and Full House used to be must see tv in my younger years but now i can watch them and really enjoy the shows for what they are. I missed some of the humor b/c i was either too young or too stupid to understand them but now i get it. I'm not going to go into great detail on tonight's episodes but  lets just say their were oscar worthy performances on both shows and in the end a life lesson was learned. An important message that probably could be applied to my life today. ok maybe a little details, Mr Feeny unraveled the hidden truth as he always seems to do and Lizzy came to a brilliant realization. Iinsightful wisdom and guidance is kinda what's missing in todays TV shows..im not saying go back to the torturous days of "Leave it to Beaver" but kids arent learning anything on the Sureal Life except for the simple fact that vanilla ice is as brain dead as he is untalented.

And dont get me wrong i'm def pro alternatives, The Simpsons, Family Guy, That 70 Show and Married With Children are shows that lack wholesome messages but their fine with me. They are funny and certainly entertaining..and the old phrase if u dont like it change the channel still holds true. My only concearn is that whats on the next channel will probably be worse than what ur already watching. I dont mean to sound  like a 1940's mom who is livid about hearing Potsy tell the Fonz to "sit on it". (maybe thats a terrible example and huge generation gap but u know what im saying) I dont wanna be that guy, i just found it refreshing and redeaming  to watch these shows and i wished to share it with u. Some food for thought..hence another one of my clever titles.

In other news, i had a family bbq on sunday welcoming my cuz and her new husband to thier new house. Its a nice place in massapequa, they have very lavish taste so of course everything looks excellent. I only hopewhen iget a house it will look as nice. I dont really excell when it comes to decorating. My room is more bland than Bert's jokes.hahh j/k? But i dunno why im worrying about that now i need to find a chick who i can tolerate first. And then she has to like me...which is not an easy task. Then i have to grow a pair and make a move. I really wish i had the confidence but  like a midget commiting suicide, i always fall short.  Enough of my saga..back to Sundays festivities. After we got the tour, (and i was thinking of Curb ur enthusiasim the whole time), they broke out the bachi balls and i was set for the night. My uncle Phil who still relishes the fact that he threw all 3 of us (me and my 2 bros) in the water when i was  like 7 yrs old was one comment away from losing his title of "King Of The Mountain". but i do love the guy.. and thats some of whats going on in my world.. but i gotta go to sleep now- stay classy.

Fester

It's approaching my last week of summer classes and i cant be more excited...finally i get my vacation. I just have to ace my final and then its a lazy remainder of the summa..Beach, babes (yea ok), lemonade..the fricken worx. It's summer time baby, and the livin is GETTIN good.

I shaved my head yesterday. I can't really describe how it looks..well actually i can- BALD. Imagine if  Mr.Clean and Uncle Fester had a kid, and then they pissed on it lol. . I was hoping for the "Stone Cold" look but it didnt work out at all. I look more like King Kong Bundy...wrestling reference(god im a geek). In a wierd way i kinda like it, prob cuz my family hates it.

In other news..im starving. I ate chineese food today at work then came home crashed on my bed and missed dinner so now im ravenous. I was tearin apart my fridge like a bachelor lookin for some clean sox before a first date. I was throwin things, shaking things to seein how much is left..i was a mess. i didnt wind up eating anything though... ill hit up the guerreros for food lol.

Quotables: Yesterday, the diet company Slim-Fast fired Whoopi Goldberg after she appeared at a fundraiser and made vulgar comments about President Bush. When asked about it, Slim-Fast's president said, 'We're not firing Whoopi for her comments, we finally saw a tape of her sitcom.'

One Fat Weekend

After a beer filled night at the bar on thursday, the following night we hit up Carmines in the city to celebrate Mike's birthday. We (mike,ant,james,scott, brad,bert,melissa, wildes, Mike's family and movie theater people...and oh yeah lauren how can i 4get) ate like kings. Raviolli's, rigatoni alla vodka, shrimp parm, chicken parm, salad, calamari, baked clams, and all the beer u could handle. I swear i had so much food/drtinks that i almost exploded. After the restaurant Scott, Melissa, Bert and myself haulled ass to make the 12:36 train home and we left the rest of the crew to walk around the city aimlessly. The next train was at 1:50 and we had no intentions of hangin aroundwe were home by 1:50...thankfully. But I still managed to oversleep and came to work a half hour late. I need to be in bed by 11 or my bodies totally thrown out of whack lol! But it still was a fun time, def. good to do once in a while. It was just such an expensive weekend for me with Lauren's birthday the night b4. But i dont mind. Lisa Libonati was worth it. hahaha

Sat after work we had a rigerous work out and chilled with Ashley till closing time..For those of u who arent in the know- Ashley worx, or did work (sat was her last day) at NYSC. She's the friendliest worker thier, every1 else is just retarded or stuck up. I'm gonna kinda miss her, working out wont ever be the same. Ahh well, im over it. After i got home/watched the yankee game it was off to B-mo's  for some Hold'em, Texas style and some of the Omaha variety which im not a fan of, but not a bad night .

Yesterday morning my brothers, Brooke, and our cuz Gina went to Kennedy airport to check out the FAA Tower. It was pretty cool. We got to see the radars where planes from all over new york could be located. We saw the air traffic controlers in action. They were directing which planes to land and which ones could take off. It was phat to see the whole process. They all move like a well oiled machine. It was hot. My Uncle Dave is a high up in the FAA so i'm def giving air traffic controling some serious thought b/c its pretty big bucks. The only thing that really sux besides the stress is that it's shift work. Not very desirable with my strict sleep schedule. Anywho, after that it was my bros graduation part 1. The other side of the family will be here in 2 weeks. But it was fun. Lotta food- hero, burgers, hotdogs, sausages, and cake which equals more weight gained by myself. I was dying to dive into that herosince i went to pick it up. Then to cap the night we played some TEXAS Hold'em..ahh nothing says good times like a card game. So the night was capped by the yankee game and a late night flushing of the toilet.

Today i came home from school ravenous as usual looking for the hero and nothing was left, so all day i have been singing.. "there goes my hero" in rememberance of sandwich that is now gone but not forgotten. Now im off to the gym to try and mold this fatness into something more easy on the eyes.

Shot To The Heart

(formally titled "...For old times sake")I really didnt wanna go to the bar last night. I dont usually like going to bars any night but it was Lauren's birthday and i knew mike didnt have any1 to go with so i reluctantly said yes. I had a whole list of reasons in my head of why i shouldnt go. But i went anyway but knowing id be complaining the whole night.

Mike got us a ride there.. her name was kara. Everyone knows my feelings on her so thier is no need to go into it. She dropped us off ... not before almost killing us but lets not talk about that. She dropped us off and we walked in with Joe and Andrew from the theater... had i known they were gonna be there i prob wouldnt go. not that i dont like the kids cuz they are nice people but mike coulda chilled with them the whole night and be fine- he didnt really need me, But whatevs- we walk in and its kinda quiet. we pay for our bracelets, say hello to whoever and head to the bar.

Now have u ever watched Ricki Lake or any talk show that have those huge transformations. You know the ones that have the "ugly" girls from high school who turn into these hot swim suits models. And of course u look at the pictures and say how did these people not realize how hot this chick would be. Or have u ever watched those movies where the popular guy in high school dates some "nerd" on like a dare and she becomes the hottest thing in the world. And of course u saw her potential the whole time. You kinda think these guys are friggen morons, and u wish that kinda stuff happend to u...well it happend to me and i blew it. i dunno how i could have missed it but i def. dropped the ball. I saw some1 last night from my middle school days and i was in awe of how AMAZING she looked. Before i mention the name, let me talk her up a little bit. Me and Mike were at the bar thier and thier are a couple of really hot chicks but the bartender had summin about her that was just so striking. Shes a little short, dark skinned, long dark hair, very attractive and very friendly. Her bubbly personality made her seemed like she was approachable. Once i got past her cuteness i actually managed to spit out words that formed a sentence...usually thats a big problem for me. Me and Sim came to find out that she went to our middle school and then transfered to Division.  Then i asked hername and she said: "Lisa Lebinoti"

Once she said her name i was in disbelief. the name so familiar chimed like wedding bells in my head, doves and rose pedals filled the bar and i saw a spotlight fall over her and then the song "Only You" softly started playing. Quickly i pinched myself to snap back into reality. I realized how absolutley pissed i am at myself for not noticing her back then.. i guess i was too busy dreaming of Shawna Dabbs to even look at any1 else but i def. regret it now. Even though i can only remember her in 1 of my classes its still painful to think i missed out. But whatever- i offered to buy her a shot to do with me and mike for old times sake.. (tequilla) mike backed out but  fortunately she didn't.And even better she said it was on her.. and that seeled it....."feelings of love". We did the shot and then she was back to work and i went back to staring at her while hiding in the corner.

Mike then said he saw her kissing one of the guys outside.. obviously her b/f. So i prob didnt have a shot anyway but for a few seconds i was happy and in love lol.. We then proceeded to say our goodbyes before we started our journey home... i didnt get a chance to say good bye to Lisa but somehow i dont believe it was goodbye.. because i shall see her again. Oh yes i shall.

Anyway we decided it be best to walk home. Now we had rides offered to us by numerous people and i knew i could prob call any1 of my friends but thier was just summin exciting about walking home that made me do it. So walked home only stopping momentarily to get some donuts.. the bagel place was closed (very upsetting). It was def. a good night though and i went to bed with a smile and small buzz.

Also little tidbits to mention.. thier was a bizarre older guy who acted like a mime by not saying much but using his hands and dacing..although he wasnt intending to be a mime- hard to explain and ever harder to keep a straight face. An older woman named lisa just came up and started talking to us- i dunno why but wierd people just always seem to flock to us. Lastly- Andrea came over and started talkin to me  which was strange cuz we've never to my recolection spoke before. but she knew me and my family. Iknew she knew my brother and my mom but i had no idea she could even pick me outof a line up- it made me feel good i must say.
