Wasting time with Jet

I hate dreams...probably because 85% of the time I have nightmares.

At 3am I was startled awake so bad, my heart was racing a mile a minute! It was one of those dreams where you're falling and don't know how or why...Off a building, out of an airplane or over a cliff, whatever it was...for 5 seconds, it felt real. When I woke up, I couldn't relax, I was taking shallow breaths and felt like I was having a heart attack. I couldn't even lay back down, my chest got tight for a second when I did. I sat up and counted backwards from twenty, that didn't work, I recited the pledge of allegiance (Got that from the movie "Bubble Boy"), nothing. Thirty years old, now...I gotta start thinking about my health.

It'd be real fucking ironic to die three days after my 30th birthday...I started flashing back to Bruce Willis' Voiceover in the movie "Sin City"...

"Breath Steady, old man, you got a job to do..."

No numbness of the arms, or tightening of the chest, just the heart doing a Tommy Lee drum solo...

Then I started thinking, "God, what if this happens during sex?!?!?", I'd fall out on top of somebody or something! How humiliatin' would THAT be?!?!?

It was just a dream, whatever it was, but now, it's giving me something to worry about.

I gotta get myself checked out, I've been meaning to do that anyway since August when the 6-month deadline after Feburary's sexual romp. Get a STD check, a prostate check, and see how my blood pressure's doing, it won't be good, but I gotta do it anyway...

After drinking some OJ, I finally started to relax at around 4:30am, I tried to get some more sleep, but I knew better...

Guess my date with my Blue Fairy will have to wait a little while longer...

JOE sugested I should just buy the damn DVD player and five porno DVDs to go with it. (He even offered to buy two! Whatta guy!)

While I won't get the movies (Why BUY porn when you can download it with Cable Broadband?!?!?!), I decided to buy the DVD player and pay my Capital One off...

A ZERO balence is the ultimate high anyways. I'm charging nothing on it ever again...except for...

A) A new Brooks Brother Suit (For job interviews in case my old one's run it's course)

B) A Playstation 3 early 2006

C) A trip to Philly for the Super Bowl parade and a 300 dollar tattoo

So, after a sleepy day at work, I went to Circuit City at 79th street and brought my 5 Disc Changing DVD Player and Lil' Kim's latest album for a buck-fifty (150.00).

With it plugged in, now, I plan to christen my new Player by watching my favorite DVD in the world, "HEAT" The special 10th Anniversery Edition.

All is well, now...but I won't forget my Blue Fairy...

Okay, I'm 30 years old, I'm horny, and there's a 5 Disc DVD Player with my gaddamn name on it...IT'S HAMMER TIME!!!

I got some money on the side and some more coming friday so I got decision to make...2 out of the 3 choices below, it's time for some ACT-SHUN!!!

A) Buy my 5 Disc DVD Play for 129.00 at Circut City

B) Drop two C-Notes for a damn good hour of hot, steamy, casual, autumn sex with "You Know Who" Friday night!

C) Pay off my Capital One Credit Card Balance of 235.00 and achieving one step closer to financial freedom.

I can only do two of these and then wait a few weeks to do the latter. I've been waiting for the DVD player all summer, it's the ultimate B-Day gift from me to me!

I REEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLY want to have sex within the next 72 hours, there's nothing more I can say to that.

If I pay this damn card off, and charge nothing else, it's one less bill to pay, I must kill the beast while it's wounded!


A CHOICE WILL BE MADE....stay tuned!

Thirty, the big 3-0.

You know what say about hitting 30?, Now you can have sex with mothers as well as their daughters, shit...

Is it time to start lying about my age now?

Like most of them, this birthday kinda was a let down.

Don't get me wrong, I loved spending time down in VA...even though the original plan was to go to Amsterdam and see the world...

Auntee dropped me off at the bus station at 8:30am, the ride home was a little longer than going down there. I was back in the city at 6:45pm. I really wanted to make a detour for some Ill Na Na with my Blue Fairy, but the bus ride took a lot out of me, so no birthday sex for me, no sir! That don't mean I can try at the end of the week!!! Pray for me!

I come home and mom says she wants to get her room painted saturday so birthday festivites my have to wait...I couldn't believe it...Whenever my birthday's during the week, we ALWAYS do something that saturday! This is just another of mom's brush offs to spend money that don't need to be spent!

I said fine, so long as she buys me this 5 Disc DVD player I've been scoping out for the longest at Circut City for 129.00. After my Playstation 2 died, I had to settle for a cheap-ass COBY pocket DVD player...the damn thing's been giving me a headache for the longest. Naturally, mom fronted on that too...god only knows what she'll actually buy me, 5 to 10 odds it's something I A) Don't want, or B) Don't need (But she feels I do need!).

I guess I'll have to do for 'self come tomorrow when I get back to work...a plan is forming....

Here's to 30 years of clean, dull, boring ass living! And another 60 more where THAT came from!

PeACE!

While enjoying the fine hospitatlity of my mother's sister, I've been passing on my know-how like the well mentoring Jedi Master to his Padawan. My Auntee's had her fly computer since last christmas and has yet to use it to the full extent of it's abilities. Don't get me wrong, she digs the internet, she loves chatting online (Probably trying to find some young thang to seduce!), she's slowly getting the hang of burning her own CD's, but her biggest gripe is everyone's favorite pastime, BURNNING DVDS! She downloads movie files of the latest films (Or ones she THINKS that are the latest to hit the theater...) and saves them on the computer to watch, but she hasn't figured out how to burn them on DVD's and watch them on her HUGE TV in her living room.

The poor, unknowning, sapling...SO, I've been showing her the ways of the force...

By introducing her to the usefulness of NeroVision Express, I had the lil' country bumpkin makin' DVDs in no time.

She's been using a simple little file sharing program called "LimeWire" to get her stuff...child's play! I introduced her to the advance stylings of BitComet and the amazing world of Torrents. There were some snags in the learing process. Auntee has the patience of a 5 year old when it comes to downloading files. She gets furious when a file doesn't work, or it's not what it's supposed to be. She tried to download Tom Cruise's "War of the Worlds" and got the 1959 version instead! Then she tried to get "Four Brothers" and after two bogus file downloads that didn't work, she got a movie file that did work, only the movie was dubbed in spanish!

Now, someone like me, wouldn't mind the headaches, but SHE just went NUTS! It's going to be awhile before she gets into the swing of things.

We spent the evening looking at TV together...Auntee has hundreds of channels at her disposal, and all she looks at are Movie Channels. No VH1, MTV, BET, BRAVO, Comedy Central, Sci-Fi, not even network TV (CBS, FOX, NBC, and all them...) She HATES commercials, she has the attention span of, of, I can't even compare! She is so out of touch with some things! I had called mom to ask about my mail, she said that my latest State Quarter had arrived. Auntee didn't know what a State Quarter was! I had to explain to her the whole history on how our Quarters have been changed over the last 6 years to reflect all 50 states in the order of statehood and how we were up to the State Quarter of Oregon! She didn't know about the Golden Dollar coins either! This women uses plastic where ever she spends money! She hasn't seen any of the new money that's been made recently!

It's scary how far out there she is, but mom said she was always like that.

Well, today was the last day of my getaway...Tomorrow I turn 30, and I'll be returning home to celebrate....

...Oh, and Derek Jeter says get got Death Theats because he's Biracial...Bee-Oh-Oh-H-Oh-Oh (BOO-HOO). About 45% of the world didn't KNOW or CARE about "ol' Blue Eyes" ethnic background, now he goes on "60 Minutes", to say "Poor, tormented me", and "Oooh, the N-Word offends me, so!"...yawn...WAKE UP! They don't hate you cuz' you're mixed (Yeah, I used it!), they hate ya cuz you're famous!!! It's an Athlete's Thing, just like Tiger Woods, Just like the Williams Sisters! If Derek Jeter was a traveling salesman from Ohio, he'd be "D.J., mister white-chocolate from the boondocks" end of story! Nobody would care, nobody would ask, done deal! I'll shed no tears for you, bro'! At least you're torn between two worlds, try looking like one when you ain't and not being accepted by the one you actually are!

Now that I got that off my chest, Eagles are great, the win was the best B-Day present so far, Auntee's learning the ways of the force (But her training is difficult), life is great....Turning 30 soon!

Peace!

My birthday is one of the rarest of all time, very few famous people were born (I think less than 100). This day is also know as The Day of the Ambiguous Hero, in mystical circles. There was a website that broke down the signficants of this day and all the history surrounding it. But damnit I can't find it!

Ah, well, I share my B-Day with...

Samuel Adams - Famous american patriot that now has a beer named after him.
Mike Schmidt - Famous Phillies Baseball Player
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa - played "Tsang Tsung" in the movie "Mortal Kombat"
Steve Kerr - Chicago Bulls basketball Legend, both playing and coaching for the team.
Don Cornelius - Original host and creator of "Soul Train"
Shaun Cassidy - Teenage Hearthrob, Singer/Actor
Meat Loaf - Rock Legend/Actor "I'd do Anthing for Love (But I won't do That), "Fight Club", "Formula 51", "Black Dog"

and the latest I recently discovered that shares my B-day, Sk8ter Girl/Rocker, Avril Lavigne, born in 1984 (GHAD I am SO OLD!!!)

For those that think Gwyneth Paltrow is also born on the 27th, it's a common error, her B-day's on the 28th (Although so even say the 29th, but it's definately not the 27!)

Damn I wish I could find that website, it was like some sort of Birthday Encyclopedia, or Almanac or something... Ah, Well...

Whoo-HOO!!! I made it, I am blogging on the road! And after a 7 hour Bus Ride, I am Tired!!!!

I'm Chillin with my Auntee!!! In Norfolk, VA till Tuesday, The Inside the Blogger's Studio Post will be ready in two weeks (1st Week of Oct!)...I haven't forgotten, ya'll!!

Imma try and get pics while I'm down here...

Till then,


PEaCE!!!

The headaches continue at the UN. Bus service still hasn't returned to normal, which means I had to walk cross-town yet again. Most of the world leaders that attended the summit last week are gone, but security is still on high alert. That didn't stop the chaos that happened today. At around 1pm, the alarm klaxxon echoed over the lous speaker. There was some sort of power outage that killed the phones and most of the power in the building. At first we thought we had to evacuate the building, but we were told not to...for the moment. I felt really weird for a moment think back to 9/11 and those office workers that were told to stay put after the planes hit instead of leaving right away. Then the outage affected the elevators and the building order the non-essential staff to take the stairs and leave while they go to backup power. I had just finish scanning a box before the power got cut on our floor. At 2:30pm, we were ordered to leave by security. I had to walk down 35 flights of stairs. I felt like a SUV going over rough terain with NO shock-absorbers.

Then I had to go home, and at 2:30 in the afternoon, I had to deal with the damn children getting off from school. There I was cramped in the 1 train from hell, with over sixty 13-17 year olds talkin' shit, and carrying on like they were on one of those yellow school buses! I just wanted to slam my head in the wall the whole trip till I finally got to my stop. The station was no better, how long have these dumb ass kids used the elevators in the subway station? Tell me they did NOT know to press the button for the upper level! There like 16 people crunched together and some stupid kids only holding the DOOR CLOSE Button with out picking the floor.

I swear, I just wanna smack up every boy or girl under the age of 19 because they don'y have no business being in my presence. By the time I got home, my legs were sore, my feet were killing me, I just wanted to curl up and die. This UN gig was not supposed to last this long! I'm counting the minutes now...till friday afternoon at 3, when I catch my bus out of town and get away from it all...in eight days, I will turn 30 years old, but today, I feel like I'm 95!

EAGLES 42

SAN FRANCISCO 3

"Any Questions?"

It's around 7:30am, I've been sleeping on-and-off during the night while geting a truckload of exclusive music downloads...

"The Big Bang" By Busta Rhymes, first album in almost 4 years, he finally popped back on the scene with them Pussycat Dolls this year, 'bout time he dropped an album (PS, even though I downloaded this super exclusively(sp check!), I plan the buy the album when it officall drops!)

"Libra" by Toni Braxton, Awwww isn't that cute, she's a Libra, I'm a Libra, it works! Love Toni Braxton, just wish her albums had more songs! By the time you're working off the bra of the girl you're making out with...ya gotta hit "REPEAT"!

Wait (Whisper Song, female version) Single by Kelis, Just when I was getting tired of the Remix with Free, Busta, and Missy, here comes Kelis (aka Mrs. Nasir Jones) with a version for the ladies. And you thought "Milkshake" was raunchy (Well maybe not...), wait till ya hear this!

"The Minstrel Show" by Little Brother, In the gaping hole left by A Tribe Called Quest and currently mened by the likes of De La Soul, the Roots, and Jurrasic 5, Little Brother stands out in all the "G-Unit"/"Fat Joe" Rap beef atmosphere with some true Hip Hop (without being Hip-Pop like the Black Eyed Peas, not that there's anything wrong with that!), their first album "The Listening" was kinda cool.

"The Hip Hop Violinist" by Miri Ben Ari, This cute fair-skinned genius was put on by Jay-Z as a concert interlude act, then she helped out Twista on his hit single "Overnight Celebrity". It's amazing how she play her electric violin and on her latest album she's done duets with other famous hip-hop artist.

And other various Mix-CD's...

The Busta album took the longest because I was on a queue (#77 of 175!!!) and it took damn near a day before the download started (23 hours and 55 minutes!).

I also have been downloading some TV shows that I missed. Like the first episode of "Head Cases" and "Bones", but my latest addition (at least till LOST starts up) had been Showtime's "Weeds". Yeah, I kinda dissed the show at first, but now I'm HOOKED! This show is funny, it blows away "Desperate Housewives" and it's only a half hour!

I've been reading other blogs and updating mine with some back entries this morning.

The Eagles are on FOX today in their home opener against the 49ner's, don't know if McNabb's gonna play, he got banged up against dem damn Falcons on monday.

I'm gonna go back to bed so I can get a few hours of shut-eye before the game...

WHEW! I know I haven't posted in a bit, it's been crazy with UN World Leader Summit/60th Anniversary Celebration going on. It may not be big news nationwide (Expect when the president apprently had to take a potty break and wrote a note asking permission...FIRE's been all over that!), but the city knows first hand because the East Side of midtown goes on LOCKDOWN. Security was SO TIGHT, tighter than even usual, it was insane!

There was a glimer of light through the darkness however...word from the agency out in seacacus is once we're finally done at the UN, a new contract will be waiting for me somewhere else in the CITY! YAY!!! The madness continues! Nothing like not knowing what you'll be doing next week to keep things EXCITING in your life!

So, The UN's hosting all the world leaders in a throwdown, obviously there's protesters and drama. Taiwan's complaining because they're not in (Boo Hoo!, We make 75% of everything used in the world! How come we're not in the UN, HUH?!?!), and there's Gong Li protesters looking like statues...the kooks of comimg out of the woodwork, here. I got into it with some of the guards around the building a few times because I've been here too long to deal with this "Stop!, Stay!," Bullshit. I asked one guard, "You want me to "SIT!?, ROLL OVER, and BARK while I'm at it??!?!" Something told me I was a split second away from "ACCIDENTLY" getting shot, so I chilled at one point.

Thankfully we were given the day off friday, due to "Light Staff" restrictions, by monday things should be back to the way they were before...

Now, my B-Dday is coming up, and it looks like we'll still be there so I asked my supervisor about taking off the 26th and 27th because I've finally decided to go down to VA and spend some time with my Aunt and Cousin for my 30th Birthday. I've been speaking to Auntee and she's cool with me dropping by. She wants me to show her how to download movies and music off the internet! I welcome the chance to share my skills with an apprentice, I dig the feel of mentoring someone in computers.

And it other hacking news, I went to the latest PSP Meetup Thursday at the Manhattan Mall, and instead of the usual Hot Shot Golf gameplay, a new game became the group favorite...a crash and burn racing sensation called "Burnout:Legends". The game came out that day, and almost every member had brought it that afternoon. I almost felt left out till one of the members hooked me up with and Burn of the game he got from the internet. It's amazing! With the right size memory card, you can play a PSP game without even having it! Hackers are once again beating the system! Who was I to bay 40$ a pop when I can just download it and play off the card! So, with the programs given to me by a fellow member, I was able to get into the action of multi-player chaos.

Now, despite being tramatized by a car accident, I find myself able to enjoy driving video games...a lot! It's like my mind knows "It's not real, so I can drive guilt free, despite the mental scars of losing someone. "Crazy Taxi", "Crusing USA", even going back to "Pole Position", "Super Sprint", and "Test Drive", racing games have always facinated me, yet I've been too scared to learn how to drive in real life. My favorite game, "Road Blasters" Where else can you drive and shoot in a game? It was the best. I've rented a few other racing games on PSP in the past, "Midnight LOAD" (Midnight Club 3) was okay, but I was this close to buying "Need for Speed". Luckly I didn't because now I can download it and play it off the memory card. Once I started playing "Burnout", I got hooked, The game is insane, you're racing other cars and you can slam into them causing them to crash off the road or into other cars and obsticles, it's the ultimate road rage expirence! You just get a rush scraping metal upon concrete, pinning an opponent's car against the divider till they spinout and crash! Every crash is called a "Takedown" and they're all diferent styles of taking poeple down!

For mutl-player PSP gameplay, the game is cool, but what's REALLY going to rock the PSP group comes out NEXT week, 9/20...Madden 2006, nothing like Video Game Football to start a riot in a public area. Hacker or not, I plan to buy that tuesday no matter what and everytime my Eagles lose, I'm taking it out on the sorry fool I come across!

Friday I made my arrangments with Greyhound and got my tickets to go down to Virginia next friday, the 23rd. I was trying to schedule the trip so my aunt wouldn't be out of her way to pick me up (She's not a morning person...), I was also trying to line up the trip with a little sexual rendevouz with my Blue Fairy in the process. Because there's nothing cooler than "Leaving-outta-town" Sex, unless it's "Arriving-back-in-town-and-it's-my-Birthday" Sex, one or the other, I had to do SOMEthing! The schedule I booked made it impossible for the former, but DOES leave room for the latter, I gotta see how my money's going to be, but I just might get a lil somethin somethin afterall.

I had a cool dream last night after watching the premere of "House". I did a TV show simular to "House", but based on my expirence in Health Care Enrollment. I'm the cranky Applications Evalauator tearing a new one to all the Marketing Reps submitting shoddy paperwork while children are having problems with their coverage. I viciously attack everyone in my path, and while the entire office can't stand me, they know I'm right all the time... here's a few quotes:

"A six year old with asthma can't buy a refill for her pump today, why? Because her coverage ran out two months ago?, WHY, because her parents didn't recertify with us for another year!, and WHY because they never got their "It's time for Recertification" package in the mail, AND WHY?! Because they moved and YOU failed to update their address in our system! Now a little girl's in the hospital and someone else has their health insurance package because of you, you spineless idiot!...These people depend of US to help them when they get sick, their LIVES are in our hands!...EVERYONE DIES, people! Let's prevent some from doing that!"

(That "Everyone Dies" is a play on House's repeated line "Everyone Lies")

In the dream I had like 5 different episodes with unique stories, like one of my staff turning a blind eye to a Marketing Rep's mistakes...

"You're playing favorites, WHY?...You don't have a crush on her, do you?...Ohmigod, you DO!?!?!...you're judgement's clouding your work, you're off "Determinations", I'm sending you to the "Monkey Cages", Data Entry...Move!"

There would be some sexual tension between me and the supervisor of the Data Entry of Applications Divison...

"I'm sending a fallen angel to your neck of the woods for awhile...have fun with him, make sure he suffers well...in the meantime is there anyone in the cages I can use for a little bit, someone you suspect has "The Sight"?"

Her:"Did a good job picking you out, huh?...You never did THANK me for giving you that kick in the ass you needed."

"I was just fine the way I was, all you've done is make my life more...interesting."

Her:"Then why haven't we had lunch together in so long..."

"Because the girl I like is in the File Room because of you."

Her (Spits):"WRONG!, she's in the file room because YOU saved her! It be up to me she'd be fired a long time ago!"

"And for what? Stealing me away from you?"

Her:"Damn Skippy."

Then, I would butt heads with the head of Marketing...

Him:"You're rejecting over 35% of submitted applications back to us and that is affecting our enrollment rate considerbly!"

"I toss back those apps because the paper is not worthy enough to use for toliet tissue! You got 15 Reps making 40 thousand a year, in their 500 dollar hugo boss suits driving 50,000 SUV's all around this city using Window Envelopes with fake addresses, forging signatures of clients that have changed their minds and signed up with other health insurance firms, AND submitting paystubs two weeks apart claiming they get paid bi-weekly when the YEAR TO DATE ammount says different! Your Marketing Reps are THE most corrupt, stupid, Highest Paid, Good Looking LIARS this country has ever seen!"

Him:"YOU HAVE NO PROOF!!!"

(Slams Down a batch of 20 applications) "Then what the hell is all this!??!?"

It'd go on and one like this every episode, and it's exactly what I had to go through in real life! How cool would that show be? BUT first things first, gotta do the Library show first...Speaking of which I got my rejection email from TVGuide.com saying my idea didn't make the final selections. Thay said the idea had merit, but would be better pitched as a comedy sitcom rather than a serious drama. I hear that everytime! I'm shooting for "Boston Public" or "The West Wing", they wanna see it as a "Night Court" or "Newsradio". Well there's one more contest that I submitted to that announces it's winners (or finalist) in October.

This dream was too cool, though....it's funny how a TV show affects you sometime...

There is one sure-fire way to set me off, to the point where common sense goes out the window...

and that's to mess with me after the Eagles lose...

We're talkin' "Go ahead, MAKE MY DAY"...Wolverine Berzerker Rage!

Everybody knows how I love my Eagles and EVERYbody kicks me when I'm down.

Tomorrow morning, I'll get calls from people I haven's seen in YEARS, and they will call me just to say "ha, ha...". Old supervisors from previous jobs, long lost cousins and shit...

JOE will be the worst, especially since his damn Buffalo Bills actually beat the Texans sunday....OH, the shame of it all...

I'm not even taking my cell phone with me to work tomorrow...

*SIGHS* Now I KNOW we're going to lose the home opener against the 49NERS next week...

"...A monday night Party!!!!"

YEAH, it's time to BUL-LIEVE again!...WHOO!!!

Sat., Dec. 24 @Cardinals (Win)
Sun., Jan. 1 Redskins (Win, expected record 12-4)

I only believe in two things, GOD and the EAGLES...it's our time, now!

I wanted to do a good post with pics at each site where I was during my ill-fated journey that day, but I just didn't have time...and as I started writing, I knew this entry was going to be too long for me to have on this site...

So, I did some research and found a website that offered file storage online.

My account of what I went throught that day, me being only 3 blocks south of where the planes hit...can be found here A file download...

It's in Microsoft Word (*.doc) format, and it's a VERY long, emotional read. I only offer it to those that are curious about a true New Yorker's account that day, what he was going through, what was on his mind, and what he saw...

If somehow the link doesn't work, I'll try and fix it.

I'm almost glad my Eagles arent playing today, it's not a good day to start a new year of hope and putting faith in a cause again (Super Bowl...), it's a day to remember, and make sure those that were lost never get forgotten.

I had a box of ancient, tissue-paper-like, carbon and parchment papers dating as far back as 1946!; Jamming in the machine and going in more than one page at a time! It took me 3 HOURS to finish it and it was only 1879 pages! I wish I could explain how embarassing that is to my production standards, but it'll take a while.

I had my camera with me and I was alone for the moment when I was done (The otehr two co-workers stepped out...) and I felt like I wanted to document my fustration with a pic, so I took a quick one...



Pretty scary, huh? I look like James Gandolfini ready to whack someone!


A couple hours go by and I get some more time alone and i think to myself, "C'mon, I should do at least one pic smiling here at the office so I took another...



There, that's a little better....

I tried one last one from up above trying to get my scanning machine, but the angle didn't work....



AND let's face it, I just don't know how to smile, it's always been a weakness of mine. I can do serious (downright menacing even!), but for me to crack a smile, it takes a crowbar. The office is so small, and the sun comes in the window at an angle that makes taking pictures tricky so don't expect any more of these...unless I get another "box from Hell".

Well, we all have our off days...

Man, with all that's going down, I can barely bring myself to post. This shit with Katrina and New Orleans is some so "Slit-my-wrist-cause-I-feel-guilty-it's-not-Me" type shit, man. I mean, I'm a New Yorker, I survived 9/11 am I wrong for thinking that TV is stretching this shit too far and I just can't give a f*ck anymore? AND if it ain't that, it's this Gas thing going on, I can't relate to that either, should I walk in front of a moving truck so I can bitch about the amoount of gas that'll be wasted when it slams into me sending my body 10 feet in the air?

So, with that said, the Jet Awards for Music are out the window, the movies were good enough to get my point across that this summer sucked donkey balls, Imma move on...

Went oy to Long Island to see JOE sunday. Sold him old PSP (The one I brought of Craigslist) and decided to keep the one I won from McDonnalds for reasons that are kinda tech-geeky to explain...I brought him a copy of Hot Shots Golf and we played each other a few times. I also got "Lilo and Stich 2" on VHS for my niece as a late B-Day gift and she watched it all day Monday.

Now that ya caught up, lemmme tell what's comming up...

"Inside the Blooger Studio" Post:A look into Jet Black, the man, the mystery, the angst...I open the door to the dark and dangerous world that is my existance. A one time only event that I reveal everything about me and my views.

My 9/11 Post:A blow by blow recollection of what I went through that faithful day four years ago.

I'm taking my digital camera with me all this week, these two posts coming up are gonna be one for the record books.

Two quick things...

This week, on the job I learned that we got a 200,000 image extension on our UN contract! Looks like I'll be around there a little longer than I thought. (Crazy)

and two, The PSP I won courtesy of McDonnalds finally came today! I decided since I missed JOE'S party to SELL him one of the two (New or Old, it doesn't matter much!) for a 150.00 Plus I'm throwing in a free copy of Hot Shots Golf. Now, anybody and their mother would think this deal is sweet, but didn't this c**ksucker best friend of mine had the balls to say I was ripping him off and tried to talk me down to 100.00? I told him, that I could hold on till December and make a killing selling the extra one on ebay. He changed his tune then. I'm heading out there Sunday since it's a 3-day labor day holiday weekend.

We'll return to our regularlly scheduled program after this brief commercial break...
