Gramp

The mood has changed. This morning at about 5AM we got a call from my grandpa expressing how he wasnt feeling well, my dad and older bro went to his house and now 2 hospital visits later im waiting to hear how hes doing. It turns out he had suffered a minor heart attack initially and he had to be shipped to another hospital after he suffered another one. It's crazy cuz i just saw him on sat and he looked to be as healthy as a horse. I'm really worried/upset to say the least.

He's stable now but he has to go for a quad. bipass surgery on weds. I'm sure he's nervous but if i know him hes not gonna show it at all. I just pray to God he'll be 100% when its all over.

Atlantic City

IM BACK!!! Atlantic City was amazing, absolutely AMAZING. If you have never been to Atlantic City during the week let me describe it to you: It's a sea of white hair and knee high sox everywhere you look. Now that doesnt seem like an ideal place for a group of 21 yr olds to go on vacation but let me tell u- it was probably the best trip i have ever been on. Next time im sure it will be even better cuz all my friends will be there, but this one was great! From weener wake up to Limo Bill,  it was nonstop laughter. I wound up winnin a few $ on the trip too- which is always a plus but even if i left penniless the trip was well worth it. The picture is just a small taste of the insanity that went on.

I didnt get much sleep when i was there so i guess its kinda good to be home. My first day back i slept from midnight till 2:40pm. The wierd thing is i was still sleepy and i still dont feel rested up now after 3 days. But hey thats the price u gotta pay. Thats all i got now- i've got so much to catch up on.

Quotables: Q- Would u cut ur hair if it looked like this?                    A- "I'd cut my f^cking head off if it looked like that."

HOLLA

HOLLA! Finals are completed- Atlantic City is rapidly approaching,  things are finally looking up.  I usually stay in on Friday nights cuz of work the next morning and the simple fact that i have no life, but tonight is the exception. It's party time tonight biatch. Drinks are on me tonight. Fruit punch for every1.

I can't wait to see my grades, i dont think I did great but i should have a GPA above 3.0 which i am excited about. This would mean i keep my small schollarship and it would also boost my self esteem about 2 points which is good b/c im in the negitive right now.

I also take joy in the fact that I am an inspiration to people. Thats right, me. I have inspired the birth of 2 new journals. Apparently people like reading this garbage. No offense to u people- but thats just sad. The only thing sadder than a person w/ no life writing about his every day activities is the people that read it. lol- im j/k...not really. But i like the attention so keep it up. Over 160 clicks so far. GOD DAMN!

Quotables: My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.

My Final Final

Almost done with finals - i got one left and then i've got it made in the shade with pink lemonade (for a week, until i start my summer classes) but hey 2 classes are def. better than 5. Sorry if i have been unreachable this week but i 've been studious, remember kids school comes first! Anyway i just have english left which was probably my hardest class this yr but hopefully the final will be cake- im not too worried about it but gonna study hardcore for it anyway. I have work today so that kinda cramps my studying process but even worse i have to head to the westbury facility to help out over there. I despise that place. The parking is awful and the people arent up to my high standards, but now a days very few are.

Atlantic City is creepin closer  and i can hear the slots callin my name. CHAAAAAAAAA- Fricken-CHING! Its gonna be nuts. I wish all my friends could go but unfortunately we've got some youngins in the group. Next time guys. I'll be thinking of u while im losing all my $.

I added some new additions to my journal- cuz i know the stuff i write is boring so hopefully u can be entertained by the dancers.

Thats it for now guys- gotta study. Catch ya on the flip side- keep it gangsta.

SUCKsess

The first of 5 finals is over and i think it went well. I kinda have mixed feeling about finals. Finals suck to begin with - i mean so much stress and so much riding on one test score but once their done with, you realize how rewarding it is that u learned so much in such a short time. Granted in 2 days you'll forget most of it- but if u came in the first day of class and took a final- ud be lucky to get 3 questions right but at the end of a few months- u know almost all of it. It really is remarkable to me.

I also have mixed feeling about the weather. I hate the winter cuz of driving in the snow and all the cold wintery nights where you're limited to inside activities but the summer isnt too great either. The humidity is enough to make you through yourself in front of a speeding Dodge Stratus. I also have a sweating problem which alwyas seems to presents itself in this climate. My pits produce more sweat than Hershey's produces choclate. It's really quite gross.

But their are several good things about the summer time. Like more excercising. I seem to work best when i feel pressured and their is no more pressure to get in shape than the summer time. Waterparks and beaches should require that no fat people are allowed within 20 feet of the area. This would motivate more people to get in shape. The ladies always seem to be hotter in the summer time though. I dont know if they stay in all winter or what but hot girls and summer go hand and hand. Not that i have a shot with these chicks but its always nice to look.

Call me crazy

Let me start off by saying happy birthday Scottz-O! Hope ur having a good time with michelle in the city... id give u a call but thats not my thang lol- u understand.

Nows probably a good time to kinda shed some light on why i dont call people, or pick up the phone. First off  i hate it. I spend a boat load of money on my nextel everymonth and i donteven want the damn thing. It's only on me for a limited time (whenever i leave my house). These times include school and work- in which case i have it on silent and i dont answer it.  It usually stays on silent until i remember to change it. So 9 times out of 10 i dont hear the phone ring. Also when im at home, i have few moments to relax so if i get a call and im relaxing- i aint pickin that shit up.. im sorry but i need to nap. ..im not trying to avoid anyone or offend anyone, i just need my time sometimes- u know? I don't call people cuz im a man of few words. I only speak when spoken to or when i really have something to say. Other than that dont expect much from me. I'll save whatever i have to say for next time i see ya in person. PLUS im online 24-7 so if u need to tlak to me look no further than ur computer

Changing 500

I played poker again last night and lost- im really down on my luck lately, but whatever, its all flavor. Hopefully i'll get it back by the time we hit ATLANTIC CITY! Thats right negros, i said Atlantic City. This trip cant come soon enough, i cant freakin' wait. I'll be hittin the slots all day like a fat kid hits the vending machines. Then if i get truely daring ill be playin some cards with the big boys. Jersey will never be the same-we're gonna rob that place blind. if we dont take any money home we're def. gonna take home a great time and some unforgetable memmories.

My old neighbors visited from North Carolina. They were really nice people and i miss havin them in the court. They're still rockin that moth balls smell that all old people like to sport but i guess thats not their fault. Currently, I have no good neighbors on my block. The only one i like is the furthest house away from me. My dad gets along with absolutely no1 so i guess thats why i have no friends on the block, and no friends in general lol. I know im better off though- the more people i know the more crap i have to listen to.

Free Food

Let me tell u- free food is so underated. I think I'd rather be paid in doughnuts than actual money. This morning at school i saw balloons near the entrance of one of the buildings so i jogged over there to see what was going on and i found free coffee and doughnuts!!! FREE!!! So of course i took full advantage of it by signing something- i dont even know what it was- all i know is that i would sign my life away for free morning beverages. So i got to my class with coffee in hand (i ate the doughnut on the elevator) and my teacher got us bagels!!!! more free stuff!!!!so i had 2 bagels with butter. then as i was leaving i took another doughnut. Life doesnt get much better than that folks.

Its summer time and the livin is good.

Quesedillas

Last night after my shower i popped in a wrestling tape and sat down to watch it, soon after i got sleepy. I figured i'd lay down and take a little nap. Well that was 7 o'clock at night and i promptly woke up 10 to 8 this morning! I slept the god damn night away, not to mention the fact that  i missed my favorite night of TV! Believe me- i was pissed. I'm still pissed just thinking about it.

Ok so i had quesedillas the other day at Hofstra... dare i say amazing! i never knew such goodness existed. Those Mexicans know how to cook, let me tell ya. Cooking and yard work- thats their specialty. Well maybe not cooking so much- us Italians got that. But yard work- they got that on lock. I'd take a mexican over any1 to mow my lawn.

Mothers Day

Well i played poker last night and lost everything i had. I had terrible cards all night which  basically means that i suck. Usually if i drop over two bucks on something i'm screaming bloody murder but with poker i really dont mind. It's a small price to pay for having a good time and being with friends.  It's hard to get evereyone together now a days with everyone esle having a busy life but somehow we usually have a good turn out for poker night.

I'm going to my aunt's house out east, in Ridge NY. Its such a long trip especially when the car is crammed. Me and my 2 bros are constntly irritated with one another and having us all in the back seat is never a good idea. Every time its the same old saying: "Stop leaning on me, yo switch this crap, what are u looking at, fag?" I like to go out east though cause there is so much to do. My uncle is a big golfer so i get to practice my putts and chip shots on his lawn. hes also got a b-ball hoop and theres a possibility of some bachi ball----I LOVE BACHI BALL. For those of you who dont know bachi ball is an italian sport, need i say more- its awesome!

Happy Mother's Day to all u Mofo's .

HW and HD

Last night i burnt the midnight oil- staying up so late working on homework and i didnt get much done. So today i knew i hada get down to business, i had work from 9-3 but skipped out early to get a jump on my school work. I banged like a hammer and nailed out two 6 page term papers and an 8 page extra credit assignment. I'm so friggen relieved but im not done yet (still got some studying to do).But it feels good to have most of it done. I'm determined to go out tonight- its poker night and i need some money lol. I got my first bill for the summer class and its 2 G's for 3 credits. "Aint that some bullshit"

Nows a good time to fill everyone in on my love affair with a young lady named Hillary Duff. She's sweet 16 but so amazing lol. She is musically gifted, gives oscar worthy acting performances and is extremely hot in my my honest yet borderline perverted opinion. Anyway i'm a big fan of hers and the Olsen "sisters" lol.

Brief

I'm gonna make this brief since i got alotta things to do and less time to do it in.

After much delibertation i decided that i need a vacation, badly. I need to just take off from work and get away from everything and every1. Just pack up and go for like a week and try and get all my shit in order. The wierd thing is i doubt anyone would even notice (aside from my parents who'd be calling every 3 minutes, and waiting with the wet noodle- lol) My friends would call but i wouldnt answer my phone- like usual and they prob wouldnt think anything of it. Thats not a knock on them- thats a knock on myself. Anyone who knows me knows how much i value my friends. They mean everything to me and I really am the worst friend in return. I don't call them ever, i dont answer my phone, i dont drive, i dont even tell them when my birthday is- SHIT, I dont need a vacation i need a psychiatrist.

Quotables: I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut...I don't need a receipt for the doughnut - I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here...

Dont bother reading this

School is finally coming to an end but i have so much work to do- i cant even begin to think of relaxing by the beach. I have an ass load of work to do this weekend and a little time to do it in. Its so overwhelming but i really shouldn't bitch about it cause its my own fault for procrastinating. Call me crazy but I just cant sit down and do work unless i know its do or die.

Anyway- i Need a life- i've been gawking at this page for nearly an hour thinking of what to write about and i've come up with BALLS. Absolute balls. My life is less exciting than a Keanu Reeves movie. I wish i was shot in the face or left for dead at a crack house in the south bronx, that way i'd have a cool story to continuously write about. But all i've got are these hackneyed stories of the average college student complaining about the abundance of work.

Maybe its time i get a g/f. Not b/c i'm in dire need of some loving but just to have something to write about. Some one to constantly complain about and put them down that way i can boost my self esteem and pretend like i have a life worth talking about. right now my current girl friend isnt cutting the mustard. Her name is Aol and i have had just about enough of her. Ugh.

Clone College

Today my first class was canceled so i woke up early for absolutely no reason but whatever- thats life. I had a hr and a half till my next class started so i decided to take a walk aroundcampus and get some excerise. As i walked i realized that all the guys here fall into a specific category, cuz most of them look disgustingly similar.

First you've got  the Abercrombie Army- with thier shoulder straped book bags, trucker hats, Diesel shoes, and cell phones in hand. They get out of thier hot cars with thier freshly pressed trendy shirts on and hair oozing with gel. They think they are God's gift. Like they are walking into club Hofstra or summin. By far the most popular look and the most annoying.

 Then you've got the Juicers who rock the wife beaters or throw back jersys (no matter what the weather), with the comfy pants, sandals and the backwards hats. They rarely come to class but when they do they forget to bring pens or paper, yet they always wind up passing, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the sports team their on or anything like that..

Then you've got the Intellectuals who have dedicated their entire life to school. They  wear the nerd glasses of course, and have the messy hair as if they have given up on girls all together. They like to wear the t-shirts with Star Wars or South Park and have lengthy conversations about the most uninteresting of topics. They are probably the nicest and friendliest group of people too but you usually opt not to talk to them b/c they make u wanna jab a pen in ur eye.

Finally you've got the Stoners. The people who wear clothes that don't match. They've got that glazed look in their eyes like a boxer after 12 rounds. They usually have multiple piercings and have nothing meaningful to say - yet they are always talking.

I like to think i don't fit into any of these categories which is good and bad. Its good cause it means i havent conformed to being a generic college student but its also bad cause it shows that i don't belong. I am the standoffish kid who sits in the corner of the class. I have similar qualities to the smart kids exept i lack intelligence and i dont open my mouth to people i dont trust.

Intro

Whats up players? I don't know how many people will actually read this but it's not really that important. This journal  is more for me. I'm really not the type of person who expresses himself well verbally so this will allow me to vent all my frustrations that happen on an everyday basis. I also plan on dropping some funny quotes (or things i think is funny), maybe some original poetry, and my main goal is to try to make every1 understand me cuz i have some F-ed up mentalities that i think i should elaborate on . So check in periodically and feel free to comment on anything. i hope you enjoy it and if you don't- go suck on a lemon lol.
