yesterday i had the best day . . . lunch with one of my bestest friends loring, who came back from cali just to see me . . . well, not really. but it's nice she came by to visit me at work and went out of her way. miss u doodie . . . can't wait till ur back for good!

then jolene called me at 4pm to invite me to see jason mraz in concert. for those of u who don't know what he sounds like, the song playing now is him. sooooo good. thanks so much for letting me have ur extra ticket! woot!

[edit - this post was intended for 05.24.04]

u ever go to barnes and nobles and look at some of the book titles in the "relationship" section?

nicole and i went to barnes and were looking at some of the book titles. as we were reading some, there were a bunch of books about the kamasutra, an idiot's guide to sex, and a whole bunch of other random books relating to the same subject. so i started thinking . . . it must be embarassing to be the person who needs to buy those books. i mean, it's like going to a video store to buy or rent a porn . . . or going to the grocery store to buy condoms. it's not like u're gonna use it to put it under a table-leg and hope that it's the right size to balance out the wobble. i would hate to be the dood that has to buy that book.

i hate seeing ex's. remind me to ask my cousins why they hang out with so many of mine. it's so uncomfortable. it's not like they were friends with them before i went out with them. grrrr. maybe it's just my cousins - they're just too nice. besides, there's no excuse . . . blood's thicker than water. and water beats fire. and fire beats wood. and wood beats water. (where the hell did that come from?) i know . . . there was this cartoon when i was younger that had action figures that said this crap. why do these things stay in my head? i've gotta get checked.

anyway, onto bigger and better things. apparently i lost the bid on the bermuda job. i someone musta gave my human resources chick a nice shiney red apple. those bastards! and here i was gonna show a little shoulder, or raise my pant leg to expose my sexy leg hair. she doesn't know what she's missing!

ok, so i think it's time to go to work. have a good day guys . . . and please don't squeeze the charmin.

today's song is from the chad and jeremy - a summer song

what happened to the old days of yore?

congrats to my cousin jeff and that dork nicole for graduating in may 2004. kiss the good life goodbye. from now on it's all about the "what's it worth to you" life.

so my advice -- enjoy your last summer before the real world gets to u. this new found sence of independence will change u . . . for the good or bad. the dark side is always around the corner. i'll take this quote from one of my favorite japanimations, "there are many people who like to attack from behind, so keep ur eyes looking forward and let me guard ur rear." in other words, keep ur dreams ahead of u . . . don't get distracted by those that prevent u from getting what u want . . . and depend on your friends (true friends) to protect u.

i'm getting into this oldy song music. i wouldn't blast it in my car around rutgers or anything . . . but i will keep it in my ipod.

i've been trying to "persuade" my HR department to let me go on an assignment in Bermuda for 6 weeks in the summer. i'll be sure to meet some naked girl on top of a zebra and bring her back for u all to see . . . errr, that's south africa, right? uhhhm. what kinda chick can i get in bermuda? i've gotta come up with more "stories".

happy birthday loring! happy birthday maryanne!

i plan on having a party at my place in 3 weeks. let me confirm with my roomies.

theme | new girlfriend

today's song is from the yellowcard - only one

yesterday was a normal day for a guy like me. i decided to go budget for a mid-day meal and ended up eating at Mcdonald's. i ordered my quarter pounder meal with rasberry iced-tea, and of course i had to add ranch dressing on the side because fries taste better with ranch dressing than with ketchup.

anyway, as i was walking out the door, a beautiful woman showed up in the parking lot . . . parking her car next to mine. it was her . . . jessica. she was a in this nice tangtop and cotton pjs, just waiting outside. she didn't say a word. i didn't say anything to her either . . . i just pointed at her, and then pointed to my passenger seat. and then pointed to the ground. then i whispered, "now!". she nodded. she then sat in my car and tuned into all stations rock-like. i was impressed and thinking to myself that i should take her back to my place and impress her with my talents . . . i was sure she would be impressed with the big adding machine on my desk and my ability to add numbers at a whim, with the power of my five fingers.

so i took her around the apartment and showed her my room, still not saying a word . . . just pointing and motioning with my lips. she immediately sat in my desk chair, and pointed at the adding machine. she began stroking it, adding 2 digit numbers . . . then 3 digit, then 5 digit - slow at first, but gaining momentum as each second progressed. obviously, this was getting me aroused . . . she must have taken accounting classes.

she then grabed my hand and kissed my neck . . . and i was ready for it. i told her that i don't like her like that . . . i just like her talents on the adding machine . . . afterall, i meet girls like her everyday. she began to cry and then she spoke her first sentance to me, "i've never met a man like u before".

it was then i realized she could have been the one . . . but she spoke, and her voice was irritating. i did not want to hear her speak again, so i kissed her to shut her up, and told her that she should go. her voice put me in the mood to play video games . . . and regression often happens to me.

jessica, it coulda been u. sorry i'm too picky, but this song is for u. have a good day and try not to speak.

theme | summer time

today's song is from the george michael - i want ur sex

in the mood to listen to 80s music. i love it. reminds me that the summer air is approaching . . . girls in less clothes . . . and i can see it all over easton avenue. woot!!!!

i take lunch breaks with my co-workers and chill outside of starbucks sometimes to see the eye-candy that passes by . . . hey, look but don't touch . . . and remark after she passes by. i mean, u ever know if that hot girl coulda been a TOM or MICHAEL once in her life, right . . . and besides, girls = drama. alls fair in love and war . . . and the war isn't over till some fat lady wants u and screws up ur game with her psychotic behavior . . . i dunno where that came from . . . perhaps it was last night's dream about grammer school.

so many bday's coming up . . . jeanette, loring, winni-fred, and carrot. hmmmm. sorry guys, i'm a poor bastard . . . settle for a nice kiss on the cheek and a pat on the back from me . . . hal0pena's funds have been depleted by the evil rent monster.

ok, so i'm thinking of posting another"new girlfriend" up . . . but not sure who i wanna date this week. any suggestions?

i also wanna sell my car . . . anyone want my X5?

random rants, random rants. what to do, what to do?

looking forward to beachy weekends. let's go carrrrrrrrrot!

today's song is from the ataris - take offs and landings

ok, so i'm hyper. i should do something this weekend . . . i was watching MTV and BET with my roommate, and i heard so many new hip-hop songs. i guess if i listened to the radio more, i would hear them played out. anyway, it's gotten me in the mood to party. hmmmmmmmmm . . . time to take out the gear!

i wanna see these kids in concert!

theme | the future

today's song is from jim croce - i'll have to say i love u in a song

ok, so the song is a bit on the unusual side . . . but no one said i was normal. i go off on tangents. u know, i used to hate listening to my dad's songs, but now i appreciate them. it beats listening to the usual "get money, get laid, i hate u, parents suck" songs. a good break from the ususal is not a bad thing, right?

warm weather is here. time to do my thing. sorry, i know i haven't been returning phone calls, and i know i've been MIA. don't take it personally . . . i'm just in a strange place right now. not sure why . . . it's probebly the change in temperature, or maybe it's just a change in me. u ever have one of those days when u wake up and u figure out that something's not right? well, i started thinking about things and i realized that i haven't really thought about what makes me wake up in the morning . . . i ususally don't think about where i'm going or what i want to do.

when i was in college, i was always looking forward. i knew where i would be and what i was going to do in my 5 year plan . . . and i always hung out with people who had similar dreams and aspirations for motivation and inspiration. then i ran into some girl who told me that i was "too scheduled". since then i've tried to live for the moment . . . forget the past and forget the future. it was great for a while, but most of the time, i felt like something was missing.

i finally figured it out . . . i figured out what was missing in my life. it wasn't the comfort of a "relationship", though people seem to think that they are appropriate pseudo solutions. it was the drive . . . the drive to want the best, the passion for a goal. i've been so unmotivated lately.

so what am i going to do? well, i'm going to start reading more and find something that interests me . . . it has to be something that i'm not good at. it has to be something i know nothing of.

ok, so i've been having bad dreams lately . . . not good . . . maybe it's those damn monsters i've been fighting.

theme | cloudy days

today's song is savage garden - the lover after me

i hate cloudy days that extend over a large period of time. bad stuff always happens . . . seems like it's a given that darkness brings out the best in people.

i used to listen to this song all the time in college . . . it's funny cuz a couple of my good past friends loved this group. we used to pop in their cd all the time, and place certain songs on repeat . . . like this one. i dunno why cloudy days reminds me of them . . . it just does . . . and in a good way no less.

well, i realized this weekend that if there was one superpower in the world that i would want, i would want to turn back time . . . and not to change anything, because i have no regrets, but to just relive certain moments over and over again. xray vision can give u temporary satisfaction, but face it . . . you can look, but u can't touch. superspeed, heat vision, invincibility, and super strength won't get you very far because if anyone finds out, you'll be the next US lab rat.

rainy days are good for one thing though -- final fantasy xi. WOOT!

theme | april fools day

today's song is from plumb - phobic

happy april fools day, everyone. i'm not in the mood to pull pranks this year, but hey . . . to avoid the pranks on me, i'll make suire i stay in today.

i hung out with my roomie the other night for drinks. she seems to believe that everything is colored black and white . . . it's the "either u do or u don't" mentality . . . too confusing if ur stuck in maybe world. i think i'll pick her brain a bit . . . though being indecisive was more of an attribute toward my goals of spontaneous combustion. i miss chemistry, well . . . maybe not that much.

the topic of discussion in my apartment seems to be a "threesome". supposedly every guy's dream is to have 2 girls. not mine . . . synthesis reactions with a catalyst or 2 are fine for me. i don't need to worry about dumb single-replacement reactions . . . afterall, attention is not meant to be spread around . . . it's meant to be given and received, over and over and over and over again.

she tells me that it's not about pleasing both, it's about pleasing yourself. now how is that fun? hmmm. either i'm an old fart or i've lost my mojo . . . well, maybe not. *now i'm thinking about japanese twins* errrrrrrrg. i hate these topics. why can't we all just talk about chickens?

today's song is from linkin park - breaking the habit

their words inspire me. i feel like i need to find myself again . . . sometimes we aren't who we think we are. i'm used to marching to my own beat . . . and somehow i lost my rhythem. i'm peter pan without my shadow. i know i can fly . . . i just forgot how to land. i didn't know a shadow was that important . . . how else would u know where the ground is?

like the layout?
