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".
