It's been a while since I updated this, but the time between entries has been interesting to say the least. Still getting through the paperwork at my job. I enrolled in the health benefits today, and in March I that starts. I now have to get done with the disclosure crap, where I have to assure the bank I am not going to do anything illegal or have any accounts that conflict with the bank or it's interests (AKA I won't take any info I may know and make money off it). But other than that things are going well with the job front. I do have some other thoughts I have had.

-Brooklyn has some interesting roads. First th BQE is a deathtrap once you get into Brooklyn, especially when the roads are slick. On top of that, it seems all the roads south of Ridgewood, Queens weren't planned well to say the least. Getting from where I was back to the BQE was harder than what I expected (took me several loops around to get on it). Now I know why my dad always biched and moaned about the roads there when he was a bus driver. But seeing the reasons I was going to Brooklyn, it was worth the headache.

-Want to watch a horrible butcher job? Watch “the Sopranos” on A&E....Maybe it's OK for those who never seen the show before,but after seeing it in it's original form, it's really hard to watch. A lot of the editing done in it takes away a lot of the context of the show and it's plotlines.

-The Super Bowl is coming up, and I want the Bears to win it. The Colts, as much as it would be nice to see Peyton Manning win, doesn't deserve to win any championships after how they ditched the city of Baltimore in the middle of the night. Also I'm a sucker for the old-school teams winning, and one of oldest of the old school are “Da Bears”

-Thanks to my cousin, I am now contemplating getting a Nintendo Wii. He got one and I played it yesterday, and the “wii sports” is not only addictive, but a good workout as well. My only problem is that I already have an Xbox 360, and I can't have both systems (no room and I just don't like the idea of having multiple systems). I was thinking of saving up for the Wii, and trading the 360 and stuff to games and accessories for the Wii.

-On the same subject, I have a couple PCs around the house and I want to get rid of them. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I am not sure about donating them, since that means I would have to do a lot of work and spend money to erase the hard drives. I need to get rid of this crap, it takes up too much room!!!

Before I write about me, I'd like to thank Ron and Fez for putting the song “Midnight Rider” in my head for the entire day. I was singing this damn song all day. They did a fantastic bit with this song, and they spoofed one of the greatest wrestling angles ever. Instead of Dusty Rhodes in a mask, they had their producer East Side Dave in the mask (and did a GREAT Dusty Rhodes imitation). The “Midnight Rider: was hired by R&F as a replacement for Dave since he was “voted” off the XM show. So Dave did the entire show in the Midnight Rider character, and the song played in the background of the show. It was a great bit, and if you don't listen to R&F, you are missing a fantastic show

OK, now about me. The past week or so has been a whirlwind for me. I got all my job stuff done for the most part, and now I have to look into the perks I get with the gig. I may be transferring all my accounts to BofA (hell, I work there, so why not?) since I get a break on some things in the checking and savings account. Ne of the coolest things I got to do (at least to me), was setting up my 401K account. This is a first for me, and I am glad I have a “account for me since I can't trust myself to save this money so take it out now and don't let me access it until I'm old” account now. It puts a little bit of me at peace abut my future. Also I get direct deposit so I don't have to worry about my check in the mail or anything like that. Gee, guess I'm becoming a grown up...I feel old yet I'm still young, the duality of life I guess

Other than that, things are not to shabby. Had a great Saturday, and hope to have another one this week. I'm going to see an old friend from HS at his B-day party Sat night, and hope to see some other alumni as well. Should be a fun night, and hopefully things work out where I have some other things going on to keep me entertained.

Yeah I suck at writing, but you STILL read this, so who is the fool now, HA!!!

Well it's official, I am going to be full time with Bank of America starting Tuesday. I have gotten through all the paperwork and whatnot and now I'm going full time. It's going to be interesting and it's going to be a transition as far as some of the things I will have to do, but I can't wait. I have an orientation meeting Tuesday where they are going to go through all the benefits and things that come with the full-time position.

This is on top of an overall kickass time in my life. I look great, and I feel great. I am at peace with myself and how I am, and I am happy with what I got. I am starting to find my groove again and it's actually a better one than the one I was in before. And so far I have gotten attention form people, and I'm guessing it's because of my better outlook of myself, and the vibes I'm putting out.

This weekend is going to be busy for me. Got things planned Sat and Sunday is football. Also some soccer to watch and Monday is probably cleaning or hanging out, depending on schedules and how Saturday goes. Speaking of Soccer, Beckham signed with MLS, and that's HUGE, means that superstars ate looking at MLS as a viable alternative, and not just a retirement league.

Happy new year to all, hope you all had a god time. I did my usual, sit at home drank, played video games, and passed out. This is a new year and I am starting to get my new attitude into focus. I spent the last year re-finding myself, and after much trials and tribulations, I think I am who I am now. I just wanted to first list a couple things:

-To those who are fans of the SEC conference or the University of Tennessee-Penn State 20 Tennessee 10....bow down bitches!!!

-now another thing I learned after this past year, and this is something I should have learned MUCH MUCH earlier, but I didn't. Ladies take note of this, especially if you have any remote interest in me and have yet to show any to me. I am sick and tired of women playing “games' with guys. I don't with women since I'm usually a straight shooter with people. What I mean are women who keeps the guy on edge about where he stands, mostly because she has a line of guys who she wants to go though first before she decides, or she just gets her jollies doing this. Ladies, this is something strippers do in the club, and I hate the stripper mentality, and as far as I am concerned, women who do this are on the same level as the skanks on the pole!!! This is something all guys have gone through all their life, be it in adulthood or in 3rd or 4th grade when that skank with the pigtails is all friendly with you when you and just her are playing on the swings, but in the company of others she thinks you're dirt. I personally am done with it, and any chick that starts in with it get dropped to the side and look for another.

Why am I like this now??? Because I am tired of the compromise of myself just to try to make a woman happy. Then I learned some wisdom from a wise man who is living the life. I am going to part with this wisdom with you now:

A HAPPY MAN IS A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP!!!

What does this mean ladies? Simple. Don't bullshit the guy and make sure the guy is happy and this will in turn make YOU happy through the idea that the man will show appreciation to you in the form of love and loyalty. Slip up and make the man doubt anything or feel insecure about something, and be prepared to hit the bricks, toots!!! See, I looked at the past several women I have talked, dated, whatever, and I found that I was always trying to impress or please the chick. This led to unhappiness on my end, and eventually the woman wanting just friendship. Looking back, and as painful as it is looking at some of the “victims” of my stupidity, I know now what I must have to make me happy, and if a woman can't provide that to me...see ya!!!

Another thing I learned was that there was a pattern with all this: Most of the women I had these problems with were from Long Island, and were younger than 25. For now on, those who fit part of or this situation entirely are on double secret probation when I first start talking to them, and if any hint of them not making me “happy” or insecure, I'm gone. Some who read this may fit the situation now, and yes you are now under probation as far as I am concerned. So I guess you better b honest and try not to do those stupid flirty, cheese games with me or you lose out on me.

So ladies, get with the truth making and make me happy!!!
