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.

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!

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

Quotables: In a study, scientists report that drinking beer can be good for the liver. I'm sorry, did I say "scientists"? I meant "Irish people."

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.
