Trouble in the Terraces of my mind

hey...me writing here is a hell of a lot cheaper than therapy...

Thursday, June 30, 2005

Yeah it’s been a while since I wrote here, and I said I would try to do this everyday. Well, things don’t work out the way you hope (look at me life for example). I have been in a lot of pain the past couple days. I must have slept wrong (well, sleeping without a beautiful woman next to/on top of you is always wrong….but that’s another entry) and wrenched my back. It’s not a constant pain, but one that comes and goes. It’s really annoying because if I get up or move in a certain way, it really hurts, but then it doesn’t hurt all of a sudden. Odd, but I have to live with it.

I put up my first Ebay auction, and they charged me for it (they charge for all auctions, probably to make sure they get some money out of it even if you don’t sell). I cost me about 7 bucks for the minimal options, and they are going to get a piece of whatever I get for what I’m selling, assuming I sell it. I have a reserve price on what I’m selling, and if the final bid doesn’t match at least that, I can choose not to sell it. So far I got a bunch of people “watching” the auction (they are probably waiting till the end, in 9 days, to really bid) and I got 2 bids so far. I’m not worried about it now, the bidding should pick up in a couple days, and especially at the end of the auction.

Other than that, I haven’t gotten an assignment with that temp agency yet. I checked in today, and he they had nothing. I did say I’m available for next week, so maybe after the three-day weekend I’ll have something. I’m praying that I get something soon, I could use the money!!!

I did my second column on Tuesday. It was nice that some people responded to it and gave me ideas on stuff to write about for my latest column. I think of all I wrote for the last column, probably 40% of it was from emails I got or ideas I got from them. I should start my next one this weekend. The last one I started on Sunday, then added to it on Monday and Tuesday, and by Tuesday afternoon I had it edited to the length and content I wanted and sent it to the webmaster.

I got nothing else to talk about as far as my life goes, hopefully over this weekend I’ll get the news I’m looking for. It’s been a while since I got an update on this one person I’ve concerned for, and I hope to hear more about the situation the person is in, and hopefully I can help out with it.

This weekend I spent my Sunday with my friends upstate. We all went to an R/C track up in Chester, NY. We couldn’t pick a worst day to go!!! First, the track is in a cornfield right by the Thruway, and even though my friends had some E-Z up tents, it was still hot. There was no breeze at all, and when you look around, the haze was so visible, but the scenery was still nice. The track itself was made up of fill dirt, so when they watered it down to keep the dust down, the water wouldn’t last the entire racing heat. When the track was dry, a dust cloud would form quickly, making seeing and breathing really hard (the humidity didn’t help with the breathing). Overall it was a fun time, even though everyone broke something up there and some of the local hicks were real dicks when it came to some courtesy (like turn marshalling, we had to stop working on out stuff to do their heats, but they wouldn’t do it for us), but most were cool with us.

Anyone see the Gatti/Mayweather fight??? Gatti really needs to learn how to defend himself in a fight; His eye blew up like a damn softball. This was nothing compared to the massive amounts of blood I’ve seen him have from cuts in the Ward fights, but still he has no defense and he just goes out there and swing hoping something connects, like the Mexican lightweights used to do. Mayweather really did a good job taking Gatti apart, and it was only until Gatti got knocked out or had to quit anyway.

Speaking of ass-whoopings, Metros got torn apart by the Revs, but it was their own doing. First the Gk had his worst game in his rookie year, letting in 2 goals he should have had but was way off his line. It didn’t help that the defense played really sloppy and let the other two goals in, but then again half of the players on the D-line were hurt, and could only give 60 minutes of quality play.

As far as my aftermath of my thing with the temp agency I met with last Friday, I called the guy up today, and he said something like “you passed the first test.” I have no idea what he meant, probably that I actually called back when he said to, but he said he had nothing for me today, but he was still putting my info into the computer system, and I should call later this week to see what’s up.

In other things in my life, I am a little frustrated how things are going, but I still have a positive outlook on it long-term. Some people are worried about me and this thing I’m talking about, but they shouldn’t worry; I know what I’m doing and I can handle this situation.

Well I had my meeting with a temp agency today, and it went well. I had an interview/testing at The Supporting Cast temp agency in Midtown. I talked to the rep I had my appointment with, and then took my tests on MS Word and Excel along with a typing test. How did I do you may be wondering??? I got a 91 on my MS Word test, and a 94 on my Excel test. The only bad part was my typing test, where I only got 30 WPM, but the rep said that it’s not a big deal. I’m supposed to call this guy Monday to see if he has an assignment for me, so hopefully something comes of it.

I really don’t have a whole lot to say tonight, maybe tomorrow I’ll have something else to talk about. Only thing I really paid attention to tonight was the Mets beating the Yankees tonight, though Looper almost screwed that up. Sad part is that if he did, no one would have been shocked. But the important thing is that the good guys won, and all is well.
I am officially a columnist. I got a column I hope to do weekly on Metrofanatic.com. All it is going to be is like this, but more soccer than just my pathetic ramblings. Hopefully I’ll bring the quality of my writings to that, which means don’t expect much. It’s going to be toned down, even the name I had to tone down. I was going to call it “my Cluster F that is my column”, but the guy who runs it wasn’t to cool with it. So I decided to call it “Studs up.” I got one down, hopefully a whole bunch to go.

Another good thing for me today is that I got an appointment with a temp agency tomorrow. I go in at 10 to interview and test and fill out all the paperwork. I hope that things go well, I’m getting up extra early to make sure I print out my resume, get all cleaned up and review my book on some of the MS Office programs, so I can do well on the tests.

My parents just stepped into the modern era, they got cell phones. My dad had one already, but he changed his plan so he could get one phone for him and one for my mom. They both got Samsung phones, and they are pretty sweet. I was working with my mom getting hers all set up, since I don’t lose my patience with her nearly as quickly as I do with my dad. SO both are happy, and now my dad can annoy my mom when she’s out at the store. I also changed my plan, but to the newer version of the one I had. My new plan is $5 more, but I get 150 minutes more a month, a better deal on my text/pix messages, and I can talk to other Verizon Wireless customers all I want due to unlimited minutes between Verizon Wireless customers.

OK I’m cutting this short since I need to get some sleep for tomorrow

I’m sick of hearing the “rent control” people crying that their rent is going up. I heard a woman cry that her rent is going up 2%….this is a woman that pays less than $600 a month for a 3 BEDROOM APARTMENT!!!! You cant’ get a closet in this city for less than $700!!! The rent went up about 2% for one-year leases and about 4% for two-year leases…that ain’t much, and honestly after reading about how much these people pay for rent, I don’t blame the landlords trying to force them out to get a “regular” rate person in.

I had the displeasure of hearing the “Air America” radio network today (I was in a store that had it on…I think this is the only store in the City that didn’t have Lite FM on). Now, I’m not anti-liberal, but this is the worst station I’ve ever heard….it’s one thing to be liberal, it’s another to revolve your programming around hack comics and “personalities” that just mock whatever the conservative radio hosts are saying. I think in the time I listened to it today, not one thing that was said was original; it was all regurgitating what the conservatives said and then passing remarks about it. Maybe if they actually reported something or stated facts to offer a counterpoint, it wouldn’t be bad. But when I was able to, I changed the station, something most people who hate something for some odd reason doesn’t do.

That always got me, these conservative parent council (pussies) organizations spend more time listening to a radio show or watching a TV show that they think is offensive MORE than the fans of the show. Of course, they are just “researching” the show, but it just blows my mind that people who hate something devote more energy and time to it, than they do to something they love. Another thing that makes me laugh is when a “soccer mom” says that she heard something on a station she was listening to while her kids are in the car she found offensive, but the detail usually left out is that she was listening to the station knowing that this questionable material was on…so in the name of cleaning up society for her kids, she exposes her kids to this stuff….what dumb fucking logic!!!!

I also find stay-at-home moms insane. There was a show on debating the stay-at-home mom vs. the working mom. And listening to the stay-at-home mothers say that the working mom is destroying the fabric of our society because the woman is working (who has to in order to help support her family just as her husband is working as hard) just really got me laughing. If I said that, I’m a sexist pig, and I believe the things this woman was saying she had to sit there for hours and think up. On the bright side, there was a couple on this show that said they didn’t want kids because they felt they weren’t ready for them (money-wise, emotionally, etc.) I thought this was great to show that there are people out there that don’t’ just get married and then start popping out kids because they felt it was their responsibility. This is how I feel, if I get married, I don’t even want to think kids for at least 2-5 years after marriage, just so that I can have a solid foundation under me should I choose to have one (odds are against me having a kid BTW). Then there’s those idiots that knock up their chicks and married because they were too stupid to pull out or make sure the condom was on right, these are the most of the 50% of divorces in the US. That’s a whole other rant for another time, I may start bitching about family-stuff again.

This world is full of idiots, and apparently they all want to prove it at the WTC site. The plan was to put a nice memorial to the victims of 9/11, but now people want to add holocaust victims, lynch and slavery victims to it, and make it a memorial to all suffering….FUCK THAT!!!! How dare some selfish moron want to add their suffering to something personal to many people. Why is it that people want to force down people’s throats events that have been covered/memorialized to the ground (we get that a bunch of Jews getting killed was a bad thing, along with a bunch of slaves getting killed, why do we need to rehash the past.)? Let the victims have their memorial, they need closure, and not your issues on top of it making a joke out of their pain

Speaking of whiny little bitches, Sen. Chuck Schumer is at it again, whoring himself to people to get attention. Now he’s bitching about a videogame and how violent it is. My problem with him is that he always finds something to complain about at least once every 3 days, and eh has to waste the time of the NYC people/media…but he comes here and rather than say Buffalo because the media is here, and his Jewish base is here where he can push his “kill all the towelheads” agenda he’s had for years now. He also likes to come up with paranoid theories on how the terrorists will somehow do something not even terrorists in movies would do, he must sit up at night with aluminum foil on his head thinking about this crap.

His new thing is videogames, and how they are going to lead to a huge crime spree of murder, rape, and pillage. This new game called 25 to life, which is aimed to adults like all the games that get complained, is like Grand Theft Auto but in crack. There was a huge press conference trashing the game, Eidos the makers of it, and Sony and Microsoft for licensing the company that makes it. You mean to tell me there aren’t any pressing national problems that these jizzbags can’t address. I guess the Economy is doing well, the budget is perfect, and corruption in business and the government is all gone.

Why is it that Moral dilemmas, which aren’t around until some blowhard just HAS to complain about it to the sheep because they are attention whores, are the main issues in the press these days? It’s people like Fox news, the Fascist Cocksucking Communists, and stupid soccer moms who don’t know to change the channel/station if something they don’t’ like comes on, that is ruining the fabric and idea of the Constitution. I wish I had complete choice to listen or watch what I want, but the government and media thinks that censorship and fake, pussy radio and television is what I want 24/7.

God Bless America I guess, but God damn the politicians that believe that it’s their job to define what is entertainment to the lowest depths of hell, but we all know that they will be there for all their immoral, disgusting pasts…remember, the whiter the underpants, the darker the skidmark.

Well Metros played at GS tonight (and won) and I didn’t go…again. It’s not that I don’t like the team or anything, but I don’t want to spend money that I don’t have. I’ll be a season ticket holder again once I get a job to pay for them. I also don’t want to go to games because I don’t escape from my problems anymore like I used to. I’m constantly reminded that I don’t have money to fully enjoy the game as much as I used to whenever I go to a game, and that I don’t have the time to reconnect with my friends that I’ve met through soccer. It sort of hurts that some of these people are out for themselves, especially after I went out of my way to help them out. I’ve helped pay for some people’s bus trips to NE or DC and I still get disrespected (they’ve played the Penn State Football sucks down so much, even Satan has to look down to see it), and don’t get me started about the leadership of the ESC. I’ve done a lot and invested a lot of money into the ESC, and I’ve rarely gotten a thanks or recognition from them. I don’t know if its because the leaders have so much on their plates (which I’ve said isn’t a good idea and they should get more people involved-but again I get treated like a second class citizen for suggesting that), or it’s because I, god forbid, have other interests that means I can’t treat metro/soccer with the attention a Trekkie fan devotes to Star Trek, but it pisses me off that I pay to join this club and WANT to help bring back the atmosphere that was present in our club in the past yet I am looked at like I’m retarded or something.

Speaking of jobs, I applied for a temp gig at an agency, and now I may get a job at the agency. They’re looking for a HR assistant and they called to see if I was still looking for a job. I’m supposed to have an interview with them next week, but I still have to hear back from the person I’m supposed to interview with (the guy that called said he’ll give my info to the woman since he’s not going to be around next week to interview me). Other than that, I still got to call some other agencies to tell them I want to register with them and set up appointments.

What else is going on….well not much, just spent today working around the house and taking down some gates and things that were up for the dog. Really hit me that he’s not around anymore. Also sat around today watched some auto racing and soccer. Tomorrow I hope to drive to some hobby shops to look around, I hate sitting around the house.

that's all I got tonight, what do you expect on a Sat. night???

Thursday, June 16, 2005

Right now I’m sitting here waiting for this poker game to start online, and it’s taking forever. I know it’s been a couple days since my last entry, but I haven’t forced myself to put my thoughts into order to write one of these entries. I really haven’t had anything to talk about the past couple days. Today was odd though, at 1 this afternoon, it felt like it was 4 and I was exhausted. I can’t really explain it too much, but I was falling asleep at my computer and I kept thinking what’s for dinner, only to realize that it’s only lunchtime!!!!

As far as the job thing and how that’s going…well lets go to another subject. I went in to an agency to retest, and I improved my Excel score, but everything else stayed the same score-wise. I’m going to go back in a week or two to do it again, and maybe be tested for PowerPoint (at least show I know something else). I also have to contact some other agencies tomorrow to see if I can register with them next week. Hopefully I’ll have a busy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If anyone has any good agencies that I should register with, please let me know. Also, I know I say this a good amount of times, but I may post my resume here for you to look at/give to people/laugh at.

Now for a subject I’ve been thinking about all day (and not in a gay way)..Underwear. I had to get some new boxers today since some of mine are getting to be crotchless. I go to the store looking for regular boxers (gotta give the boys down there some room), and all I see now are the boxer-briefs. I hate them, if I wanted my nuts mashed up, I’d get briefs. And I don’t get the idea of the boxer-briefs. It says, “I think I’m gay, but not gay enough to get the bikini or briefs yet.” I can see wearing them under your clothes in the wintertime to keep some heat in, but not in the summertime. In the summertime, I want to give my guys some room, since they like to roam. I’ve tried the boxer-briefs before, and it felt like my thighs and nuts were all in a vice, and I was afraid of moving because I could rip these in half if I go up the stairs. Keeping them so close in the heat isn’t nice, and I think if I took them off in this heat, they fall on the floor like 2 bowling balls. I take care of my guys, and they take care of me!!!

Another thing: why is it that regular boxers are the most expensive??? 2 packs of regular boxers cost more than a 4 pack of those boxer-briefs!! I paid $15 bucks for 4 boxers, while the 4 pack of boxer-briefs go for 10 bucks. I don’t know about you, but if you’ve seen me and then thought of me in one of those boxer-briefs or even regular briefs, you’d definatly want me in regular boxers!!!

Who would have thought you would have spent the past several minutes reading about my two best friends, and not the ones that live in Rego Park!!!! I think I’m going to die, you should see the luck I’ve been having playing poker right now, I won 4 grand play money in a pickup game, and I’m killing in this tournament game…still with this was all real money!!!

Monday, June 13, 2005

I got an email from someone today about my last blog entry. Mostly about “hey, you sure your relatives don’t read this, they could get angry…” I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY THINK!!! The people I wrote about have really fucked over a lot of my family members (some of which live in this house here), and to tell you the truth, what I said is NOTHING compared to what I really think about them. The only thing holding me back is promises I made to some older family members. When and if the day comes, the muzzle comes off this pitbull, and I’m betting I’ll be taken off about ¼ of my family’s Christmas card list, and that there’s going to be raging infernos on those bridges at that. Don’t think people don’t know what I really think about certain members of my family; there are some that not only know but agree with my views. Nobody give me that “don’t steep to that level, just don’t talk to them again” bullshit, these people have made everyone else’s lives difficult, and has led to many physical, financial, and most of all emotional problems. I hope that the day comes when these issues come to a head, what a release it will be…and no matter how it turns out I’ll have a smile on my face!!!

Other than that, things are getting better. I’m still getting used to the fact I don’t have a dog anymore. Today I realized I can put my feet under the table to eat, and I also just went downstairs and felt eery that there was no noise from kitchen, and it just really made me realize he’s not here. It’s really hard to see my mom and sister today, my mom was ready to give him his pills, only to realize that she didn’t have to. She also was going to make his food up, but caught herself and looked sad. My sister came into the house today looking for him under the table to pet him and say hello, but he wasn’t there, and she was telling me that today she came down and was looking for him to let him out, but remembered he wasn’t there

On other matters, I got an email over the weekend with some great news, and I was told in it that the end of the weird, strange road is soon coming, and the reward is going to be more than worth the wait. I just hope the end is sooner than later, but whenever it is, it’s going to be a good time.

Sunday, June 12, 2005

This weekend was both some of the happiest moments I’ve had in a long time, and also some of the saddest. My Aunt and Uncle came into NYC from Colorado (that me and all my cousins all helped make happen). To see my Father and Aunts’ faces when my Aunt and Uncle walked into my house (they thought they were all there for something serious) was absolutely priceless. This was the first time in almost 15 years that they got to see each other face-to-face. Thursday night was spent talking well into the night. Friday, my parents took my Aunt and Uncle around Lower Manhattan for the day, and later they came over and had dinner with us. Just talking to them made me feel so happy. This was the first time I actually could talk to them, and it was an amazing time.

Sat was the pinnacle of the entire thing, where all my cousins (well, osme couldn't make it due to other commitments, and then some just have no class/balls to face the family anymore) got together and had a dinner for my father and his sisters at the hotel. For the most part it was a great time (besides my one cousin not controlling her kids right and forcing others to baby-sit them for her while she shoved food into her fat face, and her husband sat there like the brain-dead jerkoff that he is…but that’s another rant for another time). Just the energy in the room was fantastic, and my Aunt and Uncle surprised my dad and his sisters with gifts for them, scrapbooks of pictures of the family. Aunt and cousin did one hell of a job on it.

After all this happiness, of course God can’t have me smile that much, so at about 6 this morning, my dog, Stache, died. This shouldn’t be a shock to me, since he was in poor health recently, but it was just a crushing thing to happen. We were supposed to take him to the Doctor this morning, but we were supposed to take him there alive, not to dispose of his remains. All day I’ve felt my stomach get torn up over the guilt and regrets I had about him. I wish I was in his life more, and that I was able to care for him more and better than I did when he was alive.

See, I was only in his life day-to-day for about half his life. I was in college and living in Pa for the first half of his life. I wish I was there more, since he damn near died three or four times, and I was stuck in cow country or dealing with some slut bitch of a General Manager at that two-bit TV station. When I did spend time with him, he didn’t seem too interested in me, unless I had food of course. The order of love in his eyes was 1. Mom, 2. My sister, 3. My dad, then me. I did a lot of things for him, but I always thought it wasn’t enough in the end. All I hope for is that he’s up there drinking out of God’s toilet.

Well the entire day I was in bad shape, until 3 simple letters came on my screen: E C W. The WWE’s ECW Pay per View came on, and it was about an 8 out of a 10. For the first time in a long time, I felt goose bumps watching something I haven’t’ seen in 5 years, and the same feelings came back. You see, ECW and it wrestlers made the fans (both live at the show or on TV/tape) a part of the show. Tonight, I felt even more emotion form the show, since it could be the last time an ECW show will be made. Every match was some of the best wrestling (not that faggity sports-entertainment bullshit WWE talks about) I’ve seen in a long time. It was Ok that all their wrestlers came out to their “WWE” music, not the music they came out to in the old ECW, just bugged me they beeped out the swearing…this was supposed to be uncensored, but oh well. Only bad parts was the “Crusaders” (guys in WWE that were there to end ECW because they shouldn’t be brought back for the “garbage” wrestling ECW was known for) got way too much facetime, and it drug down the pace of the show. The ending was done correctly I think, and there was a nice surprise at the end. Now I’m here writing this and now I’m going to sleep.

“A Current Affair” is doing a show on a stripper that’s pissed over her college and its students are giving her a hard time about the fact that she is a stripper. She says how she doesn’t get the respect she deserves. Usually I don’t say anything about someone’s job, you gotta do what you gotta do, but this chick should just SHUT UP!!! Working in a job like that does come with a stigma, and she should have accepted the chance that she would be labeled as a slut, whore, or just easy. What respect does she want?? The fact that she can slide up and down a pole? The fact that she can walk around in a thong with dollars stuffed in them? The fact she can take the dollar from you with her hand, mouth or titties? Plus I don’t buy she’s in college; most strippers I’ve met aren’t really book-smart, more street-smart. Like Chris Rock said; “When’s’ the last time you got an intellectual lap dance?”

Have you watched “the Shield?” It’s the best cop show out there (on cable, “Law and Order” is the big pimp on broadcast) It makes NYPD blue look like a bunch of pussies, and this past season has had some fantastic writing in it. Glen Close is one hell of an actress, and can really portray one gritty police captain. The new person of the cast I have been the most impressed with is Anthony Anderson. This is the first time I’ve seen him in a non-comedy role (he’s one hell of a comedic actor), and I hope he does take more dramatic roles.

The commercial for that stupid “Herbie” was just on…..poor Michael Keaton. What happened to your career? You were Batman for Christ’s sake!!!!! Is it so bad out there that you had to do this clusterfuck for a check??? Actors like him are sadly starting to be like the crackwhores of Hollywood….but at least you’ll get a good deal on their possessions when the get real desperate for money. The only way I would do this movie is if I got it written in my contract that I get 20 mins. per day to feel up Lohan!!!! That would be the methadone to dull the pain of this slow death of a movie!!!

My dog’s still limping around. Today he was limping and upset my mom wasn’t home. All he would do was go outside in our yard and sit there waiting for her to come back. I’m sure he’ll perk up tomorrow when my mom gets back. I laugh and get sad when I see him walk. Ever see how a NASCAR looks with one wheel about to fall off, and how the whole car rolls when it drives on it??? That’s how my dog looks when he walks!!!

E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W!


This Sunday WWE is doing an ECW show. Up to this point it had great potential, but now that the WWE is more and more involved with the scripts and other factors (they’re scared that the $400 tickets they are selling didn’t sell out and for some reason, they think they can do an authentic show better than the people who did it when ECW was at it’s peak. When ECW was alive, tickets went from about 15-20 for the cheap seats-100 at most for the best seats at ringside). I can’t describe ECW, but it’s something that came and changed everything in wrestling, but never gets it’s full credit. The best comparison is that ECW is to wrestling as Opie and Anthony is to radio. I’m going to watch this PPV (wish I could go to it since it’s going to be ni a beautiful place to hold a small venue wrestling event-the Hammerstein Ballroom, but cost too much to go sinc eteh cheat seats to this is $150), but if they really fall back on the promises they made to the fans, I may stop watching wrestling.

My parents are going to AC tomorrow and coming back Wed. My dad is taking my mom down since it’s her birthday. This week is going to be fun, lots of fund things going on.
Right now I’m downloading music of Guns and Roses and Motley Crue…and my computer is starting to sport a mullet and wants a Camaro Z-28!!!

That’s all I got tonight

Sunday, June 05, 2005

I hate the warm weather, I feel so lethargic. The whole day was a waste, I just felt so bogged down with the heat and humidity.

Ever felt like you missed your calling? I have felt that way the past couple days. I feel as if I should have become a writer in some form (and maybe I won’t feel as if I wasted four years in college). I keep thinking that I should have gone into journalism or some writing major. People tell me that it’s not too late to change your life, but I honestly don’t know how I could do that. Maybe that’s why I write here. Maybe this is just some way to live out that idea that I should be a writer. Maybe someone will stumble upon this and find my writing skills are OK, and offer me a job or something….but I’m sure that’ll happen after the 5 feet of snow hits Hell!!!

I’m also thinking of getting out of nitro powered R/C. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it, but sometimes it’s a pain in the ass to run (have to be outdoors and at a place where I won’t piss people off), and it can get really messy. I have an electric car I’m dying to run, but I need to sell the nitro car in order to have the money to get the battery charger, and other electronic equipment. The electric car I can run indoors and isn’t so loud (I know a place where I can race this car and it’s not too far from me, unlike the place where I could run the Nitro car)

This week, my dad’s off….so that means he’s going to have various projects around the house. I hate when he’s off, he never tells me what he is going to do, and he gets pissed if I don’t help him (God forbid I have other things to do). But it’s also my moms’ birthday this week, so I have to get her something (probably a couple lotto card she loves to play-she’s a pain to shop for!!!)
Now let me wallow in my room…THE HOTTEST ROOM IN THIS DAMN HOUSE!!!! I don’t just say that, it’s true…my room is at lest 15 degrees warmer than the other parts of the house!!!!
Damn it’s hot tonight!! My room has this thing of always being the hottest room in the house, and that’s not because I’m here. I’m sitting here sweating my nut off (and shaved heads lead to sweat pouring into your eyes, so I’m hot and blind). My yambag I think is almost down to my knees…yeah, Yambag!!! I’m ova here now, Bop!…sorry channeled Dice there…..What sucks is that when it gets a certain way of hot, no matter how much washing or deodorant I use, somehow the smell of armpit, ass, and feet all emanate from me…but luckily that’ snot a constant thing, just at the worst times.

US won tonight, they beat Costa Rica 3-0 in Salt Lake City. Metros tied LA 2-2, but they should have beaten the damn team but they didn’t’ finish their chances. Mets kicked ass today over the Giants.

This is a sit I have no damn clue about. It’s like a fetish thing I think, but still its proof that there’s too many sick people in this world and that you can find almost anything on the net

I also added a bunch of blogs I’ve been reading/commenting on. They’re all cool (may not be work friendly though), and the people who write them seem ok.

Now let me go and sweat my ass off (whish that could happen, I got a big ass and all)

Eh I got nothing tonight, I suck!!!! But here we go…

Today was a sad day in NY radio, when 101.1 WCBS FM went to the stupid format called Jack FM. Jack(off) FM is basically an excuse to have your radio station ran by a computer, with the only people there are techs to make sure the equipment is working, and some hack radio DJ there to say 5 minutes of speech each hour, on top of the 20-25 minutes of ads.

Jack(off-I will refer to it as that since it’s so stupid) FM is being done all over the country, and it’s doing well for some odd reason. The idea is that you email/call in what you want to hear and then it get played down the road. Only flaw is that the Program Director has the power to see what gets played and what doesn’t. That happens then is that you only hear a limited number of songs that are or were popular. The rock station in NYC is doing something like this now, and so far I’ve heard the same 60 songs at least twice a week. This is why I want to get, and want whoever reads this, XM Radio. They got each channel dedicated to one genre of music. For example, you can get on one channel all 60s music while on a couple channels down you get punk. There are so many different sub-genres in each form of music, you will find something you will like. Also don’t forget channel 202, High Voltage, home of Opie and Anthony.

On a personal note, my dog is getting better. He’s walking around better and actually got up the stairs on his own today. Things are looking good for him.

As far as my sports teams go, Mets are doing Ok, they are hanging in the in the NL East. Metros won a game this week, and I wish they could keep the grass at the stadium or better…BUILD A STADIUM FOR THEMSELVES AND HAVE REAL GRASS AND NO NAZIS FOR SECURITY!!! US Nats team plays in a World Cup Qualifier Sat against Costa Rica. They are playing this game in Salt Lake City….cause as you know Mormons are the hardest of hardcore supporters!!!
I’m watching the “Chappelle Show” and they have one of my favorite skits on it. It had the “Wu Tang Financial” skit, where they had two members of the group Wu Tang Clan on as financial advisors. I can’t describe it right, but if you saw it, even people who don’t know of the Wu Tang Clan would still find it funny. It also had the comedian Paul Mooney in a skit called “ask a Black Dude” where he answers questions from white people, but the joke is that he turns the questions around to be racist. If you can, get a hold of the show’s 2 season DVDs out there, and while you’re at it burn me a copy!!!!

I read that there’s a dude that maintains a blog on the “Dukes of Hazard” episodes that play on the Country Music Channel. I was shocked, I was surprised someone shows the “Dukes” old episodes!!! Know how much this dude makes for sitting on his ass and just writing about an almost 20 year old show??? Almost $100K!!!! That’s insane, and sad that the guy is basically doing the same thing I’m doing and I don’t get paid jack!!! But I do this for the sense of enjoyment and that it gives my many fan something to read and get them off the ledge or put the gun down or not swallow all those pills….

My dad got me “the Chief” today, a local civil service paper, and he pointed out the applications for court officer are still being taken. I may do apply for it, just because they do nothing at the courthouse and get paid well. Who knows, maybe I’ll get to have a gun…and right now I can feel the fear you are now feeling after reading that last line.

My dog went to the vet today for his medicated bath and for the doctor to take a look at his bad paw. We dropped him off in the morning, which required me hoisting his 80+ Lbs. Into the car since he can’t jump into the car. It’s amazing that for a smaller dog, he’s got a big ass. We get him home, after they do their thing to him in the afternoon, and it was sad to see him try and fail to jump into the van. It was sad because you can see the stress and worry in his eyes. I see hat a few times during the day when he has to go up the stairs in the back after he goes out for a walk. It really breaks my heart to see him like that.

Other than that things seem to be going well in my life. Things I’ve heard in the past couple days has really put a smile on my face knowing now what I do (it’s not all good news I’ve gotten, but better than what I thought it was). I hope that there is more good news coming down the road, either in the near future or down the road. You are probably going “What the hell is with the cryptic messages!?!?” Don’t worry, eventually I’ll say what all this means.

I really don’t have much to write about tonight, I thought I’d give a couple sites I found.

http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/

Where you can create church signs with whatever text you want. It’s fun to do, and at this site where I found it, http://www.wackbag.com/showthread.php?t=27808 , you can see how fun it really can be (my contributions it under the name “evilpete”).

This is a public access show here in Queens that’s just a complete mess!! The guy looks like a kidtoucher, and his “staff” look like the homeless all-stars of Queens. Still it’s like a car wreck and I ALWAYS end up watching part of the show.

Pics from the old workout show that used to be on TV…something for the guys if they are lonely one night. Sad, but I’m sure some guys can find use for these

Place to get XM radio gear, which I hope to use sooner than later. I must say this: XM IS THE ONLY SATILITE RADIO COMPANY THAT WON’T WHORE THEMSELVES OUT AND GIVE RADIO CHANNELS/SHOWS TO B-LIST CELEBS AND THEY WOULDN’T BE STUPID ENOUT TO GIVE A HOOK NOSED HACK OF A RADIO HOST $100 MIL/YEAR LIKE THAT DOGGIE COMPANY!!!! I will only have XM radio, and if anyone consciously gets Sirius satellite radio, they are dead to me. My house is an O&A house, along with Ron & Fez house (they were really cool the night my cousin and I went to see and be on their radio show when they were on WNEW here in NYC), and Stern is just a paranoid, old, has been that is trying to take credit for every single thing that has happened in radio. Now he’s trying to get his zombie fans to cash in their food stamps to pay for the overpriced, 1970’s technology of a Sirius satellite receiver, but Stern doesn’t realize that his fans are too stupid and too poor to get Sirius.
I was thinking about my skills as a writer/speaker/bullshitter today while I was driving home from my inspection (which I passed, thank you very much). And the one instance of my creativity kept popping up.

My cousin asked me to be his best man at his wedding. I of course accepted. This meant I gave the toast at the reception. I had a toast all made up and mostly memorized. Well after the ceremony, where my cousin made an ass of himself by doing something most men really should do…yell out “What?” when the “from death do us part” line comes up, there as the cocktail hour. Of course being part of the wedding party, I had to hang around for pictures. This only took up 45 of the 60 minutes of the cocktail hour. The funny part was, and should tell you how much class my family has, was that most of my family thought that the cocktail hour with it’s buffet and open bar, was the reception!!! I thought my dad was going to have a heart attack when I explained to him that there’s still the main reception, and that this is just the cocktail hour!

Well after I got my drink and plate of food, I was about to sit and enjoy the food, when I get my plate taken away from me and I’m whisked away to a room where my cousin, his new wife and his sister-in-law/maid of honor….WHO WERE ALL EATING!!!! This distracted me from part of my toast, but ad enough to pull something decent off. After about 10 minutes, and my cousin asking me “did you eat?,” “why didn’t you eat?” as he was stuffing his face, the DJ came in to run through how the reception was going to go down. He says how we were going to be introduces, a little dance and then in a fake radio DJ-type voice, points to me and goes, “And then you’re going to give the toast!” At that point all went blank in my head!!!

So after the dance, and all that crap, I get handed a mic and I thought I was going to faint. Well somehow I pull something out of my ass, where most of my jokes/shots at the newlyweds went over well, I ended the toast and my cousin hugged me tightly. I don’t know if that was “Thanks for the nice toast”, or a “Wow that sucked, but I got a hell of a laugh.” People were telling me how nice the toast was, but in reality, who complains how bad the toast is???? And who would say it to the toaster’s face??? You could be drunk, all hopped-up on coke, meth, and acid, punch out the groom and French the bride, and people will still think the toast was awesome.

On a totally different note, I got the greatest news from someone special to me. I heard news that not only pt my mind at ease, but filled me with happiness. You know that smile you have when you are really surprised and happy at the same time? The one that looks like the person with it is enjoying having a stroke? I had that on my face for a while today. Then it went to just a plain smile when I saw Metro beat the Fire tonight (I wish I had the money to go, how often does an England/Colombia game-two top teams in the world against each other-is the opener, while a MLS game is the main event!!!) Although the Mets lost tonight, it’s no big deal. They’re still the better team in the city here.
