Egg Mc Nuttin

Happy Easter to all ur eggheads and i hope ur good friday was just that (good). My Easter was ok. Some good news- my cuz Raquel (who just recently got married)announced that she is pregnant so it looks like i'll be a 2nd cousin!!! It was wierd when she got married and its getting wierder by the second now that shes having a baby. I remember her being just a kid and now she still seems like a kid but shes doing all this adult stuff. It's like Peter Pan's worse nightmare. Shes growing old. I feel like im not though and im missing the bus. I wanna grow old too, damn it. But the news was especially good for me cuz im no longer the baby of the family. For years i have been labled the baby and it isn't exactly the coolest nickname to have. So good riddens that and welcome to the baby to be. The other note about Easter was the food. My brother Frank is a Food Network watching freak and the holidays are his time to shine. He and my mom cook everything. We had like 5 courses and everything was exotic and/or homemade. We had the typical appetizers of cheese and olives, deviled eggs and all that good stuff....then rosemary bread stix, baked ziti, meatballs, sausages, turkey, ham, 7-layer salad, corn sufflle, etc..the dessert were crazy too with cup cakes, peanut butter cheese tarts, cake, fruit, honey balls and more. Every1 was stuffed like a 200lb teddy bear.

So far my spring break has been a bust. It seems like I've done nothing but play cards and eat. That isnt a bad thing but rather uneventful compared to the original vision. My trip to AC may still be in the worx. Me and Tony orignally planned it for tomm. but it was canceled due to the bad weather but the good news is that it may be resheduled for weds.. Keep ur fingers crossed.

(i had a lengthy paragraph here about a scab on my nose that is the result of the mostrosity that once existed, but i deleted it cuz i figured no1 wants to read about my scabs lol)

 Nice Head...DiC Entertainment Episode Guide

A couple of nites ago someone posed the question of what TV show ended with this picture and a little kid saying "Deek"..now i want u to actually take a minute here and think about it....You remember this picture, u even remember the kids voice, dont u?  but u dont remember the TV show that it goes along with it do u? I didnt think so...well dont feel bad cuz ur not alone. For hrs upon hrs i racked my brain trying to solve this mind bending question but to no avail. Then i started looking for some outside help but i pretty much shot down every1 elses theries b/c my gut told me it was Growing Pains and for some reason thats all i wanted to hear..every1 elses answers just seemed idiotic to me lol. So then i of course took action and did an online search. Be prepared, the answer may shock u. It appears that DIC only produces cartoons. Such cartoons include: heathcliff, alvin and the chipmonks, inspector gadget, dennis the menace, and my personal fav. rock'n wrestling. Some of u chicks might know it from the strawberry shortcake shows.

I got a call from my ex g/f today which is interesting. Its somewhat rare that she calls and even more rare that i pick it up. Today i guess i was consumed with man juice or too much choclate bunnies so i fearlessly fielded the phone call. She wished me a happy easter and we had a long chat about things both past and present. I'm kinda happy we remain on good terms although sometimes i think it be easier if she was dead or totally out of my life lol. But i do wish her nothing but happinesss and hopes that she falls in love with some1 b/c lets face it, im a hard man to get over...u cant go back to hamburger once u had porter house steak lol j/k.

Gimme A Break!

In high school i had visions of going on a MTV style Spring Break, where i'd be doing body shots with drunk Girls Gone Wild type chicks (a.k.a. hot sluts that will show it all for a t-shirt)...i guess i still have that vision but it prob wont happen since my youth seems to be coming to a close and i already look like im 30 yrs old. My only hope was to do something this yr. That dream ended real quick and there was only a 1 day trip to Atlantic City possible- now granted that isnt exactly the hot spot on spring break but it would be something to do on my long break. The window of oppurtunity on that trip is ending faster than breakfast at McDonalds...if u dont get that just move on its not worth ur time.So with that being said  I'd really like to have atleast 1 memmory of spring break since this is prob my last one..tear. If i dont wind up going away i will have to do something to make sure i remember it, even if it means doing something crazy like slapping a homeless man in the face or playing twister with a 500 lb woman- something needs to be done.

I woke up this morning with a huge growth on my nose..cant even say pimple b/c that doesnt do it justice. This thing was big and as the day progressed it got bigger and bigger until it consumed my nose... and it developed a pulse..i dunno how but it did. It was quite embarassing and i wish i could say that only a couple of people saw it but thats would be a bold face lie- every1 saw it- every1 i know from clasmates to co workers and no1 said a word about, probably because they didnt wanna upset it. The only people to say something were my friends brad and bert- what good friends. Just as i was thinking "maybe its not that bad" they began with the jokes. I dont expect anything less though cuz id do the smae thing.

Have u ever had a friend who just calls or talks to u when they need something..i kinda have a friend like that and its starting to piss me off. Now i have friends that call me all the time, friends that call to hang out or just let me know about new developments, and friends that never call but have no reason to - i like those people lol. Now keep in mind call or IM/e-mail are pretty much interchangeable in my world since i dont pick up my phone. But whenever i get a call/IM from this person its always to help them in some sort of way.Like an idiot i always help and i really never get anything in return other than maybe a thank you.  i dont mind doing favors but im not the type to ask for a favor in return. So after like 5 or 10 favors ur kinda just taking advantage of some1's generosity especially when u barely see that person. If ur gonna constantly ask favors of some1 atleast have the common decency to try and be cordial every so often and say hello. Obviously I dont wanna name names incase they are reading this so all my friends that i know read this thing are safe lol.

Those that have followed this journal know that I used to write about a girl that i was in love with in one of my classes. This dates back to last semester and continued up until recently. Now i still think this girl is amazing in every sense of the word but my dreams were shattered when she, oh so casually i may add, mentioned that she had a boy friend. I'm not surprised nor heart broken cause i knew she was too good to be true but like i said my dreams have suffered due to this new development. In the words of Meg ryan in You've got mail.."There is still the dream...the dream of some1 else." that was beyond gay i know - teetering on supergay but i have my queer moments- i cant be this rugid man 24/7.

I hope u enjoyed the last entry. It put a smile on my face so i had to post it.

A PROMise

It's friday and i have a mountain of school work to do before spring break but here i am wasting time and procrastinating. After this i plan to go to them gym and (waste even more time) leaving it all 4 sunday and some on monday.. a plan thats pretty much destined to fail, but i like to try and defy destiny. Anyway whats new in the world of me? Well lets start with the bombshell from last week.

After a long nite of holding and folding it was about time to call it a nite.  I said my goodbyes and just as i was about to walk out the door, Sammy asked me to hold on a sec...(for those of u that don't know Samantha is Bert's younger sister. I've known her seemingly forever although only recently through work have we really gotten to know each other)..anyway..i was a little alarmed as to what this could be about. Long story short, she asked ME to be her date to the prom!! I couldnt believe it!! Not that i'm not prom worthy i mean come on, i dont blame her j/k (lol) but i'm an old man!!!  Don't get me wrong it's certainly an honor to be asked and i cant think of a time in my life that i have been more flattered.  There are 2 things that really made my decision, 1- shes gotta go to the prom- i would hate to be even a small part of the reason why she doesnt go. It's a big part of high school and its certainly a fun and memorable nite. 2-  i just want her to be happy...if it means me going and having one of the worse times of my life so be it, just as long as she has fun. I dont know if i am her first choice or not- if im not then i would certainly urge her to ask her first choice but if i am then who am i to deny her?  So as u can guess, i said yes. I gotta tell u i dont regret saying yes although i am definately nervous about it for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are outlined here: I'm not exactly mr social nor am i  the life of the party. I can't dance to save my life and i dont know any1 besides her. I hate tuxedos- it makes me feel like a penguin. It all sounds like a a recipe for disaster but ill scrape the plate for Sammyyyyyyyyyy. lol

Whatelse? I saw the ring 2 last nite- didnt see the first 1 but the second won was ok. Not  oscar worthy but not a total waste of time. if u liked the first one then u should give it a whirl.

 I'm not irish but I wore my brother's bright green jogging suit yesterday for St. Patricks day, although he doesnt know that. Hes still in mexico talking to the senioritas so he didnt need it. Anyway appraently its not cool to wear green on St patricks day. I went to Hofstra and i was one of like five people wearing green. Even the irish people were looking at me like i was some kinda scally wag or whatever those drunks say lol. I thought it was thing to do. I dont dress up like washington on presidents day or like a groundhog on feb. 2nd but i thought it was a common thing to wear green on St Pat's day- i guess not. A lesson learned.

I cant stand all this college basketball. it drives me nuts. They play all season no1 cares, then thiers a tournament and every1s an expert- its dumb as hell. I cant wait for the real sports like baseball and football to come back. By the way Wrestlemanis is really heatin up- i cant wait to see it.

Private Parts

If there is 1 thing i couldnt live without its definantely privacy...and if theres another its gotta be hot, sweaty monkey sex... but lets talk about the privacy, shall we. My bedroom is like a 10 by 5 prison cell which wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt linked to my parents room. With only a door (with locks on thier side) sepearting me from the powers that be,  its safe to say that my privacy is seriously infringed upon from time to time. So over the past few years i have found a safe haven. The basement is colder then i'd like at times but i've pretty much trurned it into my own apartment. In my apartment i have this computer set up, as well as a cable tv, a couch, recliner, work out stuff, refrigerator (soon to be 2), microwave, toaster, table, and a mirror which is held up by a ceramic raggidy anne and raggidy andy- dont ask. Its almost everything i could ever want. Maybe just insert a bathroom and im good to go. So if for any reason someone manages to get inside my house- don't look to see my room but rather opt to see the basement b/c this is where the majority of my life is spent.

Speaking of privacy, my 2 brothers are away. Frank and his lady are headed to bean town (boston) for the weekend and Anthony and his assortment of friends are making a run for the border in Mexico for the week...which leaves me and my parents..but oh wait my moms going to a shower so its just me and my dad tomorrow. I cant wait to see how this train wreck of a day will turn out...for those of u who dont know my dad, there hasnt been an angrier italian since benito mussolini.

Months or maybe even a year ago, i submitted a poem to an online poetry site and they published it and they thought it was "excellent" and they wanted to put it in a book ...i was never so happy in my life. After that i got in a creative mood and started writting things that didnt even make sense but for some strange unknown reason i sent them in thinking they were master peices. Well it turns out i get another letter stating that they like one of the garbage poems and they wanna put it in the book also. I have now become skeptical b/c i have reread both poems and i feel as if they are both works of literature that shouldbe urinated on. I think its all a skam and they just want me to order a book that doesnt exist. if it does exist i really wouldnt care to see anyu of the other poems in there knowing how bad mine are. I like to write them especially when im down in the dumps. its kinda like spinning something positive out of negative hostility. I havent written in a while but im sure the next time i get into one of my depressing states ill have they keyboard infront of me.

We continued the prank on one of the girls at work today. Things went according to plan and she fell for everything, even the fake blood. I am starting to really feel bad for this chick b/c she seemed really concerned for my well being and tried to patch things up between me and Brad. Things should finally come to a close on thursday. Hopefully the secret continues till then though.

Big Game in Texas tonite. I'm pretty sure i'll be the first one on the plane home lol.

Food Fiteeeeee

I'm home, I'm on the computer, and the knicks are losing...its pretty much a typical friday nite for me. I keep changing the channels every 2 seconds to try and find something watchable on TV but my search always ends in disappointment, much like my life. But i dont wanna go down that road today u have heard that story way too often... ahh i actually got a call from bert to go watch a movie so i'll finish this up tomm nite or sunday. ....I'm back...I didnt wind up watching the movie last nite instead we met up with james and mike. We went to virgin records and then drove around for hrs trying to hammer down a simple game plan for the nite. Once we realized that all james ideas weren't going to work out we decided to cut our loses and call it a nite.

On thursday nite i was absolutely starving. I had pop tarts (my newest addiction) b4 i left the house but from 9am to 7:30pm i didnt have a crumb of anything. My stomach started to make sounds that i never ever heard before, thats when i knew i had to eat ASAP. I asked Brad to go halves on a pie as we have been known to do from time to time but he already ate at the chinese place. So desperate times call for desperate measures. I called in a pie and ate the whole damn thing myself..crust and all. After about the 6th slice i was full but by then it became personal. I was no longer interested in my hunger but more focused on a bigger personal achievement. My stomach was in knots but i still did what i had to do and i even  worked out afterwards. That nite i felt like Fat Bastard and i was making bathroom trips frequently.. all in all it prob wasnt worth it but im happy with my achievement.

I went food shopping for the first time in a little while and i gotta tell u its not that bad. I went with my mother who has been doing it for yrs and she still hasnt mastered the propper shopper edict. She still stops in the middle of the aisle and looks through her coupons and screws every1 trying to pass her. Its frustrating even for me to watch so i just go my own way and pick up some stuff for myself. Such items include: toaster pastries (the cheaper pop tarts), Lean Pockets, Rainbow Choclate Chip Cookies, and this 99 cent pizza that path mark offers- its quality!!

At work today we staged an altercation between myself and brad to trick one of the more gullible girls at work. its an elaborate process which we just layed the ground work. The money shot (lol) will come next week when bert and brad get into a staged fite. Another highlite at work was that i got my girl scout cookies. I ordered 3 boxes. One was for me and i planned on giving 2 boxes to my grandfather but some1 kinda f'd that up by opening the box and eating a couple...little upsetting i cant lie.

My friends and I have some trips coming up-all that i would love to go to but logic is starting to alter those plans. I really am strapped for cash, i have summer classes coming up and i just dont know how to prioritize. My heart says go but my head says its not possible i gotta put everything out on paper and see where i stand. I'm def going SOMEWHERE this summer, no ifs ands or buts.
