Damn It's Hot
| Holy hell. 93 degrees Fahrenheit today. That's not the bad part. It was gorgeous, no denying. The worst part was that I spent the whole day either driving or sitting in a hotel convention center. If some of you don't know. I have a new job selling knives and other kitchen stuff and I spent all day in a Syracuse Holliday Inn to learn up on some of the best methods to peddle it away. So we left here at 10:30 in the morning... hotter than hell. Windows down until we hit I90 and I turn on the A/C Nothing. Then it starts blowing air... not cold air... just air. Great So my Air Conditioning doesn't work in my car! Windows back down. The whole hour ride I'm half baking in the sun (my left arm is tanned more than my right arm; and yes I wish it was the other kind of "half baked"). Five hours and fifteen minutes of blather and instruction I now have a better feel for the job. But that's not the best thing I took away from it all. I needed some major motivation. I got it. Did I mention not eating all day?? Ok well I didn't eat all day until 5:30 with a stop at TacoBell. I love TB. I dislike TBSS (that's a 1%er, ask only if you must). On the road again... still hot as fuck. Windows back down, arm out the window... maybe I won't break a sweat this time, noppe. Even doing 80MPH the air was so humid that it was still hot with my arm out the window, bullocks. I hate humidity. But there is the saving grace!!! I come home... and FINALLY THE CENTRAL AIR SYSTEM IS INSTALLED!!! GODDAM ABOUT TIME Thrice - Stare at the Sun |

I Want to Ball Up and Cry
| Not your usual emo post here people: I just got out of the theater. Saw X-Men 3: The Last Stand THE COMIC BOOK GEEK IN ME IS DIEING I am so upset right now I'm at a loss for words. The plot was good, but it could've been great. Alas, I'll save the spoiling for a later date. Instead, I'll rant about what was going on in the theater outside of the movie. You ever want to use the word "nigger" but you're afraid of who you might offend? This is not one of those times. So halfway through the movie, just after an important character bites the big one (i'm almost crying as is the rest of the viewers) three niggers walk in. Want to know how I'm sure of this? 1) you could hear them coming before you could see them 2) you couldn't see them, they were so black the only thing you saw was the glare off their clothes 3) they walked straight to the front row 4) i'm sitting in the front row 5) there's three of them 6) there's three empty seats to my right 7) two are on their cell phones 8) they just came out of "over the hedge" how do i know? they were talking on cell phones remember? 9) they sit down in those three open seats 10) the girl sits down next to me 11) she takes my arm, nudges/shoves it off the armrest and comandeers it 12) NONE of them shut the fuck up for the whole movie. Had I not been so locked into what was going on and it was a crappy movie I would've gone to get them thrown out. 13) they all kept asking "who dat?" "whoa shitt nigga" "kick his ass" Fuck I'm so pissed off at these douchebag niggers who ruin shit for everyone else. Just not right. Go spend the $7.50 to see a good movie instead of "Over The Hedge" and then sneak into another movie right after. FUCK THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOOODODOODDODOD OMFGGOFFGMFG |

Inexplicable
| I've been feeling like shit lately. I don't know what it is. Even when it's bright and sunny I still feel down and out. No this is not the emo mentality, it's just I feel like complete crap, physically. Which in turn makes me feel like shit mentally. Maybe it's withdrawl from not playing poker, or bass, or working out or playing video games. Yes, alert status red, I haven't been getting my intake of video games or bass playing at the same time. Shit I need to go do something any suggestions? |

Katrina to Blame?
| Apparently we're throwing the blame of high gas prices on hurricane Katrina. Crazy. Does anyone remember prices before Katrina hit?? Yeah so do I, matter of fact, I do believe they were exactly where they are now. It's not like prices were rising before Katrina right? Wrong. Prices were going up and there was absolutely no good reason for the increased hike. But Katrina gave them all a reason to spike prices. But the half assed committee assembled to investigate did a "good job" with their findings. The only people found guilty of the price gouging were individual retailers. So this isn't a case of the Nixon Administration now is it? We find everyone guilty but the man at the top. It's blatantly obvious this is the case. Maybe if Exxon-Mobile didn't report in with record earnings for two quarters in a row this would be a little more believable. Don't confuse record earnings with the company's record, not even the industry record, WORLD RECORD for most earnings in a quarter for any business, kicking the Walton Mart down to #2. The Senate is not at all pleased with the findings, well the ones that aren't lining their pockets aren't pleased: "It just defies belief that they didn't find price gouging because there is simply no price competition," he said. Mr. Schumer said that the Senate "could do a lot if it had the backbone."-NY TIMES Who controls congress? That's right, Republicans. Reportedly, Katrina took out a third of the nation's oil production. Well that's all fine and dandy, the U.S. produces only about 35% of it's own oil. Most of it goes straight into reserves, yet slowing down refining jumped prices. If you're going to price fix it doesn't make sense for just one company to raise their price. That's called stupidity, what we're dealing with is called collusion. They're all in on it, they're all making more money than they've ever had before. Something's up in the oil industry, but that's not the most disturbing part, the worst part is: the government is in on it too. X-Files |

The X-Files
| I've always wanted to get into the show. But never had the chance. Apparently I was too young and impressionable for mommy to let me watch. But now that the show is finished, you all know what that means. Late night reruns. Thank god for restlessness, and now insomnia is going to set back in thanks to just watching this show. Fuck things are getting good. No sleep for at least another week here!!! NO SIREE |

Slap That Moron For Me
 I have absolutely nothing to write about. But then again who really does? You ever look back and tell yourself "that was just a phase" or "wow was I stupid back then" I can't say that with anything in my life. I feel like everything I've done got me to where I am today, stuck in my basement for yet another summer. Would I give my left nut to be out of this shithole forever?? Yes. Apparently finding a relatively-well paying job without a four year degree is... nonexistant. So this is what irks me. My last semester didn't go over so graciously, my GPA is at a total of 2.44 and that's by no means going to get me into a school. Yet I wasted $80 and applied anyways, now to waste another $10 to get transcripts sent by school. Then knowing how lovely my family is I have to hear a ton of shit from them. I mean how many of your family members call up and ask about how your grades are three days after the semester ends?!? How many of your family members tell you how "disappointed" they are that you can't pull yourself together. I love criticism. I really do, I've heard it all my life, I'll continue hearing it all my life. But for those of you who have done and will do nothing to help me in my endeavors to become "educated" I suggest you hold your tongue and keep it to yourself. I was not put on this planet with the sole purpose of impressing you. I fucking suck at self motivation, I know it, you know it, let's just leave it at that. Don't tell me that I need to try harder. That's like telling a guy on crutches to RUN FASTER. He'd have the right to hit you with one of those crutches. But I have the right to get lectured on the phone by people who have done more or less sit there and give me shit all throughout my academia. Should I just you know, put a camera on me and say fuck you and loop it on this website? Christ allmighty I don't need to hear how you thought I was going places and I don't care where you thought I was going because I know where I want to go and I know how to get there. Just that making money at my shitass job and keeping my attention span long enough to concentrate on homework and studying isn't by any means easy. Fuck, my attention span on this post is wearing down to it's final bits. AC/DC - What Do You Do For Money Honey |

This Is Pathetic

Decimated... Then Redecorated!!
| So that explains my morale right now. I recieved grades today. Yeah, not too happy about these. I bombed one test in biology and it killed me. Economics just blew ass and to be realistic, I didn't even need the class. Theater... the class that I just took because my advisor teaches it... I get a B. and an A in spanish (surprise there) So my thought is this... why do I always get things I don't want? I didn't want the B in theater, I wanted the B in Biology. I'll have to see if I can't smooth talk the prof to bump me to a C because it was just one crummy test. Oh speaking of getting things I don't want, I got a new job yesterday. Yaay it pays well, yaay it's not as boring as my current job, yaaay i have to sell shit to people though. Yes, I get to make appointments with customers and then go to them (this means i get to write off mileage AND GAS on my taxes!!) and hope to sell them some stuffs. No this isn't me walking door to door, because it's selling cutlery. How would you feel if you just saw a man walk up to your front door holding a bunch of knives in a suit and tie??

Keeping The Dream Alive
| You ever just want to sit back and let life pass you by? Yeah I'm in the rut of why bother again. Kinda the same spot I was in last year... I'm still trying to comprehend how much bullshit I have to go through just to get financial aid. Top that on the bullshit of applying to two colleges in the middle of May, you get... chaos. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be sending, college transcripts, supplemental applications, HIGH SCHOOL transcripts, what the hell. I've been in college two years and have 50 credits and still I have to send in my high school grades... SATs I can see, but my high school grades shouldn't mean squat right now. You want to know how I verify this? Because apparently my high school grades were good enough to get me into the second best academic school in the state system... it also got me flunked out of the second best academic school in the state system... my high school grades mean nothing, trust me. I have a job interview at 2PM tomorrow... Not at all excited... I need a swift kick for some motivation right now. Kasabian - Club Foot |

I'm 20 in a Month
| There's your answer foxxy. So on to this weekend's immense amount of pleasure (friday) and displeasure (saturday). Friday was a little quality time with the lady friend, work, dinner that I owed a friend, buying beer and then poker night with some of the boys. I was a guinea pig for the mad scientists for the last $20 in my wallet. Six minutes later it's gone. So what's the only natural thing to do when you've lost the last contents of your wallet?? Scour your pockets for loose change and stray bills!! I find a ten. GOOD ENOUGH! "Just Ten?" famous last words from half the table. Four hours later I'm up to $120 and on my merry way... Enter Saturday: wake up at 8am for work, pick up the lady, spend the day with the lady, spend some of the night with the lady. Then... I took a chance to have some fun. It's an annual thing... Turtleland. But unfortunately the boobs orchestrating everything forgot that it's prom night for ye little high schoolers. Well I have a 28 of Molson (for $18) and head up to the party... [Phone call] Listen man, there were a few cops up here earlier and ------ got arrested for lieing to the cops. Just hurry the hell up and stay out of sight. [/call] I have a bad feeling about this. So I get up there and park, take my beers, start the trek through the woods... where the fuck did this fence come from?!? Hike back to my car. Here's where you get to play along: you A) put the beer in the passenger seat because you're tired from carrying it all over the damn place. B) put the beer in the trunk because you feel like the night is wasted anyway. well for those of you that chose option B, your ass is in jail. I chuck the beer in the seat and close the door look up... hello mr pig. Fuck. Hop in, take off, drive down a few meaningless streets... he loses interest and stops tailing me. The funniest part is, the party was behind a Jewish Cemetery (oh I should've saw this coming). So I go and park again, sprint my ass up the hill with the beer in hand, make the trail with no cars coming or going. Half way there..... everyone's leaving. FUCKING A. Sit down, revel in how stupid this idea was. My good friend J-- comes down the trail with a fucking table. Great, so I pick the beer back up and we make it back to the edge of the trail and what do we do... we leave it. Head back to the parkinglot, decide to do a smash and grab of the table and then come back for the beer if we get the table successfully. No dice. As me and J-- are waiting for the driver to swing back around... cop car. Dive, hide. Ahole goes by... he's seen us, I'm sure of it. Look up, there he is pulling a U-turn right in the middle of the damn street, dive to the other side of the hill so he can't see us coming down the other way. FUCK THIS WE'RE OUT OF HERE Back to my car on my last legs, hop in, friend's girlfriend is in the car, goody. Take off and get down onto the main drag... cop car just in front of us... I'm going extra slow... please let him pulll awayyy He pulls into a side parking lot, comes out behind me and flashes his lights. Fuck me. License, Registration, Proof of Insurance. Question Question Question... Bullshit Answer, Semi-Bullshit Answer, Truthful Answer. More questions... I'm running out of shit to sling, friend's girlfriend takes over, holy fuck I love you. Drop girl off to rightful boyfriend, take friend J-- home. Drive 5 under the speed limit the rest of the night. So what have we learned tonight boys and girls??

Caught Up
| Just had my economics final at 8AM. Fucking hate exams before 10AM, I'm not fully awake and now I have to go take a nap. This blows. I have to finish this take home final that really means writing four essays, and then I have my spanish final at 6pm. This leaves no time to go to work/look for a second job for the summer. I have a feeling I'm going to be very broke all summer long. Again. Meanwhile we've been putting forth effort to kick off the summer the right way. A woods party. Turtleland, aka the nook between the Jewish cemetary and the freeway. Here's to getting completely obliterated on cheap beer, rock and roll, and a bonfire. Ted Nugent - Stranglehold |

Easily Eased
| I'm easily amused. We all know this. Family Guy, South Park, Spongebob and everything just as senseless still gets a kick out of me. I just recently sent a complaint to Cartoon Network to start playing Looney Tunes again because I miss Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck arguing about hunting seasons! I'm pathetic, I know. Well... in comparison, I'm not as pathetic as some of these idiots. Have you ever tried to eat tissues? Niether have I. But in one of my fantasy baseball leagues I found an owner who has a blog... seems like everybody (except andrea) has a blog these days! Well I went exploring the theme and the context of this blog and I'm completely blown away by it's frivilousness and it's awesomeness! Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Like Dirt |

Guess
| If you couldn't tell by that last post I'm a little... disappointed, unhappy, depressed, pissed off, flabergasted, ___________(insert your word of choice here). So I waste a bunch of time/money going out there to get this hold off of my account. I'm cleared to come back into the school after an evaluation and just have to wait for a verdict from the department.... and wait... and wait... *sip of coffee* and wait some more. Fuck all. It's almost the end of the term and NOW I find out that I have to put in more applications in to some more schools: SUNY Plattsburgh immediately comes to mind because that is the only school that I actually took a tour of before actually going to college. So applying to make it back is an obvious choice (not to mention they just added new studios). Just the other day an old friend starting talking to me and convinced me to turn in an application to SUNY Oneonta as well. I tell you this news is really crippling as I already didn't give a shit about my grades before this news... imagine how I'm going to feel when it's crunch time [oh wait, it already is] and I have to start studying for finals [oh geez those are next week aren't they?] fuck all.

I'm Going to go Find Myself
| Dear Michael, We just heard back from the Communication Department today; based on your MVCC transcript through Fall 2005, it has denied you admission to that Department. I suggest you try again after you get your spring grades. Best wishes, Paul Schwartz |
