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.
