Long ago, there were these two guys...
Best of friends they was...they loved their sport of football..
And at end of every april...months after the super bowl, and the pro bowl...
The two friends would get together and have a feast and celebrate as their teams drafted potential superstars for their suporting franchise...
Years went by, and it became a special holiday of sorts...
But now...things have changed.
One friend got older, and developed more reponsibilities...
A family, a job, a mortage...and soon, his friend didn't mean that much to him anymore...
One year went by when the hoiliday was missed.
Then another, then another, and then one year...
The one friend watched the NFL Draft all alone...and realized...it was never going to be the same again...
and he sighed to himself...
"For the 14th Pick of the 2006 NFL Draft, The Phillidealphia Eagles select..."
"Tradition!"
"Thru hell and back again"
"Why Lord?"
Why must I suffer like this?
When will people take the stick out of their ass and let shit go?
I go down to wall street to get fingerprinted, my picture taken for an ID, and to submit a sample for a drug screening. This next assignment is for Deutsche Bank, and me working in a bank before, I know things are extra secure.
I get down there at around 9:30 and wait, so I could meet the other 2 girls I worked with at the UN. We were told to be there at 10, but they were a lil late. I decided to go in myself at 5 minutes to, the infomation desk had no record of the 3 of us...early sign that this was not gonna be easy. I stepped back out of the building and call my Team Leader when one of girls finally arrived at 10:05, we caught up with what was going on (She still owed me an order of Body Paint!) and on the advice of our Team Leader, we decided to try again...
We tried to name some contact names and mentioned the company we were from, and after a little bit of checking, they found our appointments listed for 8am instead of 10!
We went through a lot of paper work and then went to the clinic and there was a problem. My Non-Driver's ID was expired. I have a old one that didn't expire but it has my old address on it. I had JUST mailed the change-of-address form to the DMV this week, knowing sooner or later an issue like this would come up. The chick in charge of the results said they can't release them to the bank if I don't have a valid ID, Passport of My Birth Certificate. They told me I could come back by 4:30 if could find it, so I had to go back home and tear my place apart till I found it and went back down there by 2.
I wanted to meet JOE for lunch afterwards, but he was too busy with some "End of the Month" Bullshit...SO, to save myself a measely 2 bucks from my metrocard, I WALKED up Broadway a good 30 blocks to Houston where I grabbed the bus home on a free transfer, time counsuming, yes but what the hell.
To top it all, it's not 100% clear if we start monday, my guess is they'll wait this the results come in and maybe we'll start tuesday or wednesday.
God, what an ordeal...my feet are killing me.
I've GOT to get my papers in order...where's a shoebox when you need one?

"In brightest day, in blackest night..."
...No evil shall escape my sight...Let those who worship evil's might...Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
Um, sorry...Just got "Justice League" Season 1 on Blockbuster Online...
Anyoooooo...JUST when things looked their darkest...the call is made.
I'm to report downtown to get my ID and take a drug test tomorrow...my assignment starts next week.
A sigh of relief fills the air...
Is this any way to live? No, but what else can I do?...The evidence seems clear that I can't get anything else, but of course there WAS a bit of sabotage on mom's behalf.
I might be doing this song and dance by July if this assignment lasts as long as they said it will...but then again, it may go longer...
You know what they say...
"You're not promised Tomorrow..."

"The Editing Room"
I don't why I never mentioned this great site before, and I'm not sure why I'm bringing it up now (It's 5:15 in the morning and I'm still up for christsakes, I'm between jobs whattya want from me?!?!?)...
But this is one of the first sites I followed with a passion...this site TAUGHT mw how to write scripts, and it started waaaaay back in 1999 with it's hysterical take on Phantom Menace and has done so many others since.
The guy has slowed down to a crawl as of late, doing a new movie almost every 3 months, but for any newcomers, it's worth it to read his previous works. You may find a movie that you enjoyed...condensened to 3-5 pages.
Check out The Editing Room - a site dedicating to abridging the latest blockbuster into a 30 second film.
You'll die laughing...
PEACE!

I just had to put this up from April 22nd's Overheard in New York
Girl: I'm thinking of an animal that starts with a P.
Guy: Porcupine?
Girl: No. Wait, are those big smears of blood all over that subway map?
Guy: I think they're paint.
Girl: They're totally blood.
Guy: [looks harder] Yeah, you're totally right... Penguin?
Girl: Nope!
Classic, the sight of blood does nothing to us.

"It's getting kinda Heavy..."
Okay, here I am in week three, and I'm getting kinda scared now. I got enough money for the rent this month and the next (Let that be a lesson, kids...) but after that, I dunno. I was anticipating some help from my tax return, but that's out the window, now...
One more week, and I may have to get on Unemployment.
Drastic times called for Drastic measures...I activated my resume on Monster.com
That usually gets the phone ringing! Temp Agencies or otherwise, I'll get around 4 or 5 calls by tuesday.
With all this time on my hands, the mind tends to get a bit kooky...
1) I'm thinking of doing a PostSecret...
2) I'm re-wiring my Stero System that I haven't listened to in years cuz I listen to music on my PC or in my MP3 Player.
3) I finally changed the address on my Non-Driver's State ID, I've been using my old one with my old address even though it expired in 2003.
4) Finally saw "Finding Neverland" cried like a bitch at the end, and then was pissed when Keane's "Somewhere only we Know" wasn't used in the movie like it was in the Trailer.
5) Mom finally rented "RENT", couldn't bring myself to look at it, BUT fell in love with one of the songs I overheard and downloaded it..."Out Tonight".
And finally...
6)Decided to stay on AFF, but as a non-paying Standard Member, AND decided to created my own SEX Blog on there...I'll still be able to do webcams and stuff, but I'll have to depend on the luck of the chat rooms to contact someone, I cant just email them anymore...
P.S. I scalped my Black Eyed Peas ticket for 60 bucks (which was only a 8.00 loss with all the handling fees...) and went to the movies friday night. I saw "Lucky Number Sleven" and then snuck around and saw "V for Vendetta" for free...both movies kicked ass...BUT "V" was kinda slow, and long!
Keep me in ya prayers...

"The fates are against US!"
Damn.
What is it about this freaking weather!
You try to go see a movie on friday, it rains, next week you try saturday, it plans to rain AGAIN!
Is there somebody up there trying to tell me something!?!?!?!?
That I'm not allowed to date twenty year olds anymore?!?!?!?...that i'm some dirty old man trying to corrupt an innocent waif!?!?!?
It's supposed to rain the NEXT FOUR DAYS here in NYC...all the way till next tuesday!
I spoke with her over the phone Wednesday night (Due to the fact that there was no episode of LOST on!) and she really didn't care if it rained so longs I come up to where she lived and we check out a movie...but i dunno.
I'll try and catch her one more time before I go to the concert....
Thinking back to the job interview a bit...don't you hate it when they ask you that dumb ass question...
"Where do you see yourself if Five Years?"
How do you even ANSWER that? I felt like using the ol' Mitch Hedberg Answer...
"Celebrating the Fifth Anniversary of YOU asking me That Question!"
How would ya'll answer that question...?

"The Loop"
I think the TV show "The Loop" Kicks "The Office"'s ASS.
Just wanted to say that.
I HATE Job Interviews.
They remind me of first dates. You try to act all cool like you got a 10' Cock when in reality you only got Four Inches.
Middle of the day, and it actually hit 80 degrees (What I wouldn't give to be beach-combing at Far Rockaway...) and I'm sporting short sleeves and a Sweater Vest looking like that creepy guy that handed out the mail in "Just Shoot Me!" (Comedians of Comedy star Brian Posehn in case ya'll didn't know).
I got there early for my 2pm appointment, the recepionist was cute, but she had a cold. She swore the office was freezing, yet I looked like I stepped out of Ancient Babylon. I did the whole paperwork thing and went through the whole interview (or dare I say Interegation!) and fumbled through the whole thing like Chris Farley.
I don't know WHAT is it that I have no confidence in myself. You challenge me into a debate over which is better "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" I'll argue tooth and nail...you ask me to actually SELL myself...forget it!
I felt it was a disaster, I could probably do the job they're looking for someone to do, but I just didn't present myself that well, I suck.
The building was a few blocks away from MSG, where the Black Eyed Peas concert is tomorrow. As usual, I don't feel like going now, and I'm thinking of selling my ticket on craigslist.
Could make some nice change that could help me out the next week or so...
I was also around the area the of the hotel I had my nerferious sexual encounter with "LOVELY" a lil more than a year ago...God, I wonder if she's still in town? I think I'll look at some pictures I saved from her craiglist ads and reminisce tonight...
When I got back home I called the Team Leader I worked with from the UN and asked if she has an update on the next scanning assignment (Cuz it looked like I was gonna be there...). She said she's been to the place we're expected to work and it's not ready. No equipment, the client is taking forever to prepare the work, but we could still start "Any day now".
I wasn't worried (yet), just bored out of my mind. I've already rearrainged my room and cleaned it up a bit in anticipation of a summer romance in the next few months. :-)
I've even dropped hints (ala Fraiser Crane) to mom that I will be "Sponsering" trips to Atlantic City so I can have the place to myself. It's good to know that all it takes is a 20 dollar bus ticket and a hundred bucks to trigger the "Gambling Bug" in mommy dearest for a lil privicy.
But, I maybe jumping the gun...I'll definately find out this weekend.
I gotta find job, something second shift! (3pm-10 or something!)

"Nobody does Quizzes anymore!"
It's been a long time since I've been tagged to do a Quiz, guess they went the way of the HNT...which is so passe now...
So leave it to my dear Irene to tag me with something new...
So without further adieu...
10 of Life's Simplest Pleasures
1. Peanut Butter - Man's greatest invention.
2. Music - It sooths the savage beast within us all.
3. Knowledge - nothing more powerful, nothing more seductive, and nothing, nothing more valuable.
4. Coming home to an empty House - To some this would be depressing, for me, it was the symbol of freedom.
5. A woman's unconditional Love - Even the simplest of gestures goes a long way.
6. Video Games - A way to live out fantasies without hurting people.
7. Chance - Because sometimes decisions are so hard to make alone.
8. My niece's voice on the Telephone - Innocence at it's purest form.
9. A woman's laugh - probably one of the most wonderful sounds in the world, sans the first time a newborn cries shortly after birth.
10. All five human senses - Very often taken for granted.
There's my list, kinda deep ain't it?...Okay, I Tag Kimmyk and LLF, they'll take care of the rest...I would tag FIRE5 but he hates these things...
In other news, Got the Black Eyed Peas concert friday night, tomorrow I have a new interview for an actual job (Rather than a temp assignment from another agency) that thankfully mom didn't sabotage this time...aaaaaand dispite a threat of rain on Saturday again, I'm making the trip up to White Plains to see a movie with my new potential someone!
Busy, busy, busy!

"pot calling the kettle black"
I know I said I was taking a break, but...the saga continues.
1)Didn't go to either interview today, WHY? because I lost the notes with the address and contact infomation of each agency I was supposed to go to. LOST as in a certain mother threw away, Don Quixote Strikes Again! First the shirt, now this! Someone pass me the Glock!...I'm joining Biggie and 'Pac!
2)If there is anyone out there that can explaine the W4 form (anyone who WORKS for the damn IRS) please break it down for me! I don't know WHY I keep letting my job NOT Withhold State TAXES...Now I gotta pay thru the nose because that fucking form is like Chinese Arithmatic!
3)Why is it so hard to express your true feelings towards someone?!!? Why does the woman who years for the nice, repsectful, romantic, ideal, Be-honored-to-have-her-on-his-arm Boyfriend ignore the obvious choice in front of her face! We all think it's cute on TV, Niles and Daphnie, Ross and Rachel, Laura and Erkel...but why does this have to happen in real life? I may like to speak in idioms and euphimisms like "The Pot Calling the Kettle Black" and "Needing a Crystal Ball to Predict the Obvious", but can I really bring myself to say how I really feel about someone?
I need some answers here, people!
When someone does find the answers, send them to Sing Sing when I get convicted for Tax Evasion.
"I...I....I....ahhhhhh...."

"It's the Easter Begle, Charle Brown!"
I've never seen that special...
I slept in today while mom took my niece to church.
My phone was right next to me, and at around 11am, I got a text message...
"Happy Easter" from Irene.
I melted like chocolate in the sun. Everytime I think she's forgotten about me or doesn't care...I get a small gesture like this and my heart does summersaults.
We barely speak now becuase her PC is so blitzed and AIM chats are pretty much a craps-shoot, email correnspondences seem so cold...and even though we have each other's numbers...I'm too much of a chickenshit to call her. What kind of a man am I?
I'm reminded of that line from Cruel Intentions...
"E-mail is for geeks and pedophiles...Write her a Love Letter."
That would be the ULTIMATE cornball move...
*Sighs*...WHAT is a boy to do?
I wish I could say, the Text Message was the hightlight of the weekend..but I'd be lying, the weather was beautiful this weekend. Not too hot (Well, saturday was kinda WARM) and not too cool...this is the begining of beautiful days to come, and I GOT to find someone to spend them with!
Tomorrow I have 2 interviews lined up, still haven't heard from Seacacus, but I might start a new assignment in a bank by tuesday...It'd be a shame to go back so soon, I SO wanted to get a piece of action during the day, dare I say at home or elsewhere...the thrill of "Afternoon Delight" makes my body ache...
I'm taking the rest of the week off in rememberance as today 13 years ago was the car accident that changed my life forever...I can't begin to tell you the dreams I've been having lately...well maybe down the line I'll talk about one or two...
On a weak attempt of a lighter note...My Chocolate-Free Lent ends today which means I gorged the hell outta my niece's easter basket (Like she can eat all that candy alone!)...I feel cleansed as I endured the full lengh of the trial without cheating once! (Well almost, I accidently picked picked up a snickers bar at a newsstand in a train station the night of irene's party coming home, but then quickly remembered and dropped it back...it was 5am in the morning what'ya expect?!?!?)
So, that's it for now...see ya next Sunday!

AMV-Cowboy Bebop / "Kiss from A Rose"
Not that this one was better than "Bittersweet Symphony" (Which NO ONE checked out, BTW!!!), this new AMV scores just as well and me being a seal fan, the choice of song was a bonus...the scenes go well with the song, expanding the entire series (Even the dramatic finale).
Check it out...
This You Tube site kinda kicks ass...
There's another Bebop AMV to Evanessance's "Torniquet" (sp check on both!) I have a feeling FIRE would like...
AND I just found that cool homemade Lightsaber Duel movie that's going around. I'm posting that one tomorrow...
See ya!
Check it out...
This You Tube site kinda kicks ass...
There's another Bebop AMV to Evanessance's "Torniquet" (sp check on both!) I have a feeling FIRE would like...
AND I just found that cool homemade Lightsaber Duel movie that's going around. I'm posting that one tomorrow...
See ya!
"It never rains in SOUTHERN California"
...But it always rains on Good Friday in New York City.
UGH!
You wouldn't BUL-ieve my luck.
TWO things happened Thursday...
1a) I got the call from my Team Leader giving me the heads up...Next assignment starts next week...Monday OR Tuesday.
1b) I set up ANOTHER interview for monday...
2) After a couple of chats, I finally set up a date with someone from AFF!
BUT as usually, mother nature puts a monkey wrench in the works...
We were gonna see "Scary Movie 4" today...but the rain canceled our plans...
Good thing, too, I guess...I was nervious as hell.
I feel history repeating itself considering she's a 20 year old girl from upstate in the city limits around White Plains.
I keep telling myself..."Don't this one PLAY you like "Jersey City" did, ya punk!"
But then, I don't want to dwell in the past because I'll just fuck up the whole thing before it even starts....I gotta be open, just don't lay it all on thick.
Pay for the tickets, but NOT the popcorn...
Browse around the Virgin Megastore after, but DON'T buy her a CD...
Take a break at the cafe, buy us drinks, BUT not a muffin!
...Take it sloooooow, just this once.
Like I said, today was a washout, and she's kinda busy (and I will be soon again...), but SHE IS feeling me, :)
As for the call, if I go back Tuesday, I'll still go to the job interviews, just for the hell of it. I still need a new dress shirt that I plan to get tomorrow...
When I checked my account this morning there was a bit more than I expected...I had recieved a bonus from the job as a reward for the UN Project.
It's nice to get appricated once in awhile...
So that's about it...with me starting a new gig next week, I'll keep AFF for a few more months, hopefully I can set up another date...
This COULD be the storm before good things to come...

"Should I stay...Should I go?"
I may be jumping the gun here, but I'm thinking of cutting my expenses a bit by trimming unnecessary activities just in case I don't get the call back to work anytime soon.
So I come to my account on AdultFriendFinder...
Things started slow, a couple of chat room conversations, nobody sending me winks or looking at my profile...
Then I got into watching other people's webcams (Which was VERY NICE :) )
Next thing you know, I'M buying a webcam just to have exciting late night 1-on-1 chats...
And while I have made a few connections...and exchanged a lot of explicit pictures...AND had phone conversations...nobody has given me the light of day (Due to the fact they have children to attend to!)
Then came the idea of being a boy-toy for someone 10-15 years my senior, don't have to worry about children in that situation.
And now I find myself getting bold and showing off on cam myself, and while I'm still a bit shy...I'm slowly feeling a bit....dirty...and I like it. (Tee, hee, hee...)
Here are a few numbers to consider...
Joined 10/2005...
Number of online chat regulars I had after 1 month:2 (1 from right here in Staten Island and one from England of all places)
Number times people saw my profile by January: 30
Number of other people's webcams I became addicted to watch on a regular basis by Feburary:15
Number of online chat regulars I had after buying my webcam: 12
Number pics I've collected during late night chat sessions :70
Number of regular pics I've exchanged with someone who eventually wanted to get together: 15
Number of woman I've ALMOST met for...ummm, whatever!:4
Number of times things have gone bad, when things were getting good:3
Number times people saw my profile by Feburary:130
Number of webcams I check a night on average:20
The most number of people viewing my webcam at once when I was just doing friendly chat:3
The most number of people viewing my webcam at once when I decided to show more skin:16
Number times people saw my profile after I decided to show more skin:300!
Number of views of my profile at the moment:429
Number of complements I've recieved about my tush:115 (Yes, I'm counting!)
Number of those complements from men (Ew?):23 (I'm very, very scared of attracting the WRONG type of attention, now!)
Number of those complements from women:78 (Wow, who knew women like ass?)
Number of those complements from couples:7 (2 were same-sex couples, thou...)
Number of people on my "hot"list (Potentials):58
Number of emails I've recieved:30
With everyone seeing my butt, the number of times I've been asked to show my c*ck:around 250 times (I'm not joking!)
Number of times I've actually shown it:0, I'm not there, yet!
Number of times I've had "Cybersex" per se:5
Now, If I hang in there, I just might finally get some, but then again, I just might get jerked around by a couple more that claim they wanna be down, but can't get any time free. (Did I actually say "Jerked"...oooh, not good.)
I dunno, is it worth it?...who am I kidding...I'd drop AFF in a second if a certain someone would....oh, never mind...
I'm pretty sure they'll call..and maybe I can go another 3 months for 45.00...
God, this site makes sex more addictive than crack!

"Throw mama from the F*cking Train!"
I am at a loss...
I've gone through so much with...ugh!...I don't even wanna get into it.
Have any of you had your mother do your hair before a party and get it messed up?...or try to help you with your science project and blow it all to hell?...why do parents (mothers especially) sometimes do more harm than good when it comes to something important?
Sunday night I browsed around the job sites, looking for other scanning opportunities or maybe something second shift (I'm not gonna sit on my ass waiting from Seacacus to call with the next assignment...). I emailed my resume to a few places, right?
Come monday I get a call from yet another agency that specializes in scanning jobs. They don't have anything at the moment, but they want me to come down and register with them so I can be on call...
I agree to go down there wednesday at 10am. Tonight I'm getting my clothes ready and here comes mommy dearest...
"Where you goin'?"
"I gotta thing tomorrow morning..."
"I HATE that suit!, why you wearing that godawful suit?"
"There's nothing wrong with this suit, mom."
"Yes there is, it too big for you, it was back when you were real big, it all loose around you like you Michael Clarke Duncan or something'"
"Mom, you say that all the time, this suit is fine."
"Why you gotta wear that tie, that tie looks terrible..."
"This is my "Gun metal Gray" tie, it goes with the suit."
"It's too shiny...You're not going to wear that shirt are you?"
"Mom, this is the only good white shirt I have, there's nothing wrong with it."
"It's wrinkled."
"It's NOT wrinkled, mom...the bottom just looks like that because I tuck it in..."
(Takes The shirt out of my hand) "Let me iron it for a second..."
"no, mom, no!"
"Just smooth it out a little bit."
TAKE THREE GUESSES what happened...
(shakes head)
I don't even wanna get into the details...
We going shopping again, friday...I gotta reschedule my appointment for next monday...
It's something right out of a sitcom...
A disater zone...she's the type that would burn down the first home I buy...look me in the eye and say..."Whoops".

"Slap on the Wrist!"
Transport Workers Union Local 100 President Roger Toussaint is headed to jail for authorizing December's transit strike.
The MTA and the TWU faced off in a Brooklyn courtroom Monday to determine what penalties should be handed out to the union for authorizing the illegal three-day strike late last year. The MTA requested TWU leaders only get community service.
However, a judge sentenced Toussaint to 10 days behind bars and a $1,000 fine for criminal contempt his role in the job action.
Now I'm not the one to get into current events, but I gotta say SOMEthing on this...
This stupid prick is the one responsible for over 7 MILLION New Yorkers having 3 of the worst days around christmas they ever had last year. He single handedly brought this city to a grinding HALT! and held us hostage, prevented us from going work, fucked with our money! I didn't get any compensaion for those days I missed! And now, with all the warnings the mayor gave this guy, and all the judicial BS...he only gets TEN DAYS!?!?!?!?
Lil Kim lies in court and gets a Leap year, a shootout happens while Busta Rhymes films a video he's Public Enemy #1...THIS DOMESTIC TERRORIST shuts the city down and all he gets is 10 days.
They should be spent in solitary confindment, put his ass in da hole! Have his ass shanked the first lights out...let 'em stay for at least six months for what he did!
This is some bull!...He'll probably get the damn sentence reduced and won't do a day...
"Start Monday Morning with a smile"
That last one with the missing tooth is my favorite...
This collection of cackles is brought to you by Mr. Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill aka "The Joker" who reminds you that "If you gotta go, go with a smile!"
Toodles!
"Hip Hop Kara-A-OK"
Before I start, just wanna say I updated my MP3 List on the left, I've dropped all the William Orbit tunes, and added some Richard Ashcroft, some Ol' Skool by AMIL (Remember Her!?), some Episode 3 scores, that infamous french song sung in the beginning of the John Travolta movie "General's Daughter", AND since I just saw a rerun of the 1st episode of "That 70's Show"..."Hello, It's Me" by Todd Rundgren (That's the song the kids lip sync to during the credits, kinda catchy...I love discovering old music all over again...), okay now on with show...
So, it's 10 O'clock and I'm heading out. Yeah, I'm alone again, what I say, it's hard to find a partner in crime to paint the town red with! The Hip Hop Karaoke thing takes place every First Friday of the month at this place call Rothko...it's the latest craze. Baby Boomer and Gen-Xers (Who knew Gen X was ol' skool?, apparently there's "Generation Y and Z") can "Channel their Inner-Big Daddy Kane" as the posters and flyers claim. Just like regular karaoke, you get the words to the song, AND you even get your own Flavor-Flav-like Hype Man (Someone to back you up, in case you forget the words...). Songs range from classics like RUN-DMC's "King of Rock", or LL Cool J's "I'm Bad"...to Tupac and Biggie classics like "California Love" and "Juicy". They even have popular classics like Nas's "Hate me Now" and for the ladies out there, classics by Queen Latifah and MC Lyte.
First off, I have to say, you get what you pay for with the cover...the event is free and it should be because the place...is a hole in the wall. I have to admit, it was bigger than the lounge I was just in last week, but at least THAT place had areas where a brother stand and not be in the way. Here, it was pretty much standing room only which wasn't bad if you've been to a concert in the Hamerstein Ballroom (I saw moby there around October 1999), so long as I didn't have to worry about pickpockets, I was cool being in a crowd. I had missed a few perfomances that had started around 11pm and stayed till 3 in the morning. I saw around 13 people perform and they were great! It made me think I could go up there and drop a verse...(I always wanted to do a version of Fat Joe and Big Pun's "Twinz (Deep Cover'98)". I would have stayed longer, but I realized that my first TV Production Meetup was tomorrow afternoon and I needed to sleep.
I got back home at 4:30, read some emails and wondered what to do this weekend, the meetup is destined to be a bust this month, only 1 other RSVP to go and I approved over 10 members so far...
After bowing out of the screenwriter contest, I was more determined to get this show noticed again. I plan to resume writing (I haven't worked on anything since the contest...) and do some side projects. I got this crazy idea from threesome sex romp that turns real ugly when all three participants turn on each other.
With the free time I have now, I plan to really get the creative juices going...and as for the show tonight, I plan to find SOMEone to take next month!

SHOCKER: Call Numbers pulled out of Screenwriter's Dig Finals!
It hurt so much to do it, but I had to. Today, I withdrew my entry from the TV Pilot contest.
I know I was a top 10 finalist, and it was hard decision to make, but I'm going to use this expirence and keep trying to get noticed.
I just got a bad vibe about that whole thing, the fact that it took so long and all that, I just wasn't sure it was on the up and up.
They'll be other contests...and who knows maybe I'll meet someone at one of my TV Production Meetups.
But I'm not holding my breath...
Just figured I'd let ya know...the dream...will never die.

"Oh, the places you'll Go!"
My canadian Bush-Basher, FIRESTARTER5 had a nice post about the different places I've worked all around the city. I figured I'd go alone with the joke and provide all the places I've been...
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS:
My home the first 25 years and currently.
I had a paper route (12 Customers at one point...I got swindled by a marketing asshole who worked for the Daily News who stole my clients and added them to his subscriber list with false hopes of making me an offical delivery boy!)...
...I was also a Dog Walker...my very first summer job was in the Parks Department where I worked 3 different parks around the area (Cool part, using a gas powered backpack leaf-blower ...the worst, cleaning up dog poo in one of shitiest parks in new york city history!)...AND I started at the library in my neghborhood branch.
EAST SIDE
I worked in 4 of the 6 clustering branches on the east side of manhattan between 96th street and 58th. Some celebreties that I seen while working are Ernest Borgnine (Movie Star, "Marty"), Mark Lenard (Spock's father, Sarek of Vulcan), Wu-Tang member's RZA and GZA, and Judy Gold (Comedian).
FINACIAL DISTRICT
I've worked all over the wall street area, doing temp jobs on both night and day shifts, working for Chase and HealthFirst. I've seen episodes of Law and Order being filmed, scenes for SPIDER-MAN, GODZILLA, SHAFT, and HITCH. I also had the misfortune of seeing 2 Yankee Parades at the so called "Canyon of Heroes".
THE VILLAGE
I worked for a law firm scanning documents at night. While there I discovered the San Gennaro festival, Tower Records, The spiciest pizza known to man (Two Boots), and a funny little clothing store call "Yellow Rat Bastard".
I've also worked up in Westchester, and now in Queens. Never worked in The Bronx, Brooklyn or Staten Island, nor anywhere on the West Side of manhattan...first time for anything...
Thanks for the post, FIRE!

"Graduatition Day"
We had to scan 14,000 images today in order for today to be our last day. None of us wanted to come back tomorrow just to do a half day's work so we hit the machines as soon as we got in. With my slow ass scanner, I can do five, maybe six thousand easy. I really pushed myself and did everything to stay focused. I even short changed myself on the lunch break (The huge, wet SNOWFLAKES kinda helped with that!). We had broke 6000 by noon, which was a good sign. There were a lot of old, fragile papers that wouldn't cooperate with the machine...
I felt like we were in that movie "Armageddeon", where oil drillers had to drill deep inside an asteroid that was heading towards the earth. They had to reach a depth of 800 feet, and everything was going wrong for them...
And just like the movie, in very climactic fashion, we hit 14,078 by 3:45pm!
So, like the last day of school, it was time to clean up and say good-bye for now...
I packed up my small, personal fan, our maps of the world and united states, and my printer cable in a couple of bags, and in true Harry Potter fashion, the four of us (I've gone from nicknaming these three women I work with "The Golden Girls" to "The Powerpuff Girls"!) said our peace, and parted ways...knowing we'll see each other again in the next adventure, er, um Assignment! Three of us boarded the Hogwarts Express (7 Train) while one simply walked futher up the street to the bus stop...(Enter swelling chorus music, followed by the repeated Harry Potter theme here). The End!
With some time off to myself tomorrow...I am going to KICK BACK and chill! True, I have a lot to do (Taxes, Screenwriter Dig Deadline, My Meetup, food shopping, etc, etc...), but I'm going to just cool out for a bit! Besides, we may get the call to go back to work as soon as Monday, but then again, it could be awhile...we'll see.
But for now, it's all about R&R...
See you in the funny papers!

"Please do not distrub or incite the Caged Animals...."
The area we work in has this weird Waffle-like wall that makes us look like we're in captivity...
Why do I feel like I should be accompanied with Charles Nelson Reily or Whoopi Goldberg?
"The View"
We're nearing the end of our time out there in Long Island City, this should be our last week. Can't say it's been a blast, getting up at 5:30 in the morning, taking two trains, the steps on those elevated train platforms outside and above the street, it was no picnic. But soon it'll be over, the next assignment is back in the city, everything'll be all good. Still, it's kinda nice seeing the manhattan skyline from afar...
"Pimping all over the World!"
Not be hating, but the dress scene at Saturday's party was something out of JUNIOR high school. Some of the ladies threw down (IRENE one of them, of course...), but others looked like they just came from working 8 hours at a steelmill! Tru, dress code was lax, it was all about fun...but back in the day, you didn't go to a lounge just to hold up the wall lookin' mad crumb status, yaknowatiamsayin'?!?!
No one made have said 3 words to me (IRENE included, but I forgive you, luv...) but you can deny I stood out with my "Juan Dough Low"-Hawaii-Five-OH look. The only thing I was missing was the straw hat, but I knew that would be over the top. I'm telling you, I was straight up Jay-Z "Big Pimpin'", all I needed was the cigar in my hand...
This is me after the party around 4:45am waiting on the 7 Train to get back in the city. I was the only soul on that platform for like 20 minutes, so I decided to take pics of myself, proping up the camera in various places...
The shades are a bit much (Considering it was the middle of the freaking night, but a true new yorker knows why you "wear your sunglasses at night..." (To hide the huge bags underneath your eyes!)...
Now, the lights messed up this pic a bit as I'm waiting for the manhattan-bound train at 61st. I had to go further into queens to get back in the city because the stop where the lounge was at was a local stop and being bypassed....oy, what a headache!
Once I was going in the right direction, I had to wait at Queenboro Plaza for the N train, that took another 20 or 30 minutes...
The shirt made me look huge, but it was just very roomy, that's all...I'm getting all these Fat Joe comparisons all the time, at least it's not Big Pun....
Finally back in manhattan island, I wait for my 5th train of the night down at 14th Street and 8th. The A arrives at around 6:30am...then I was home free.
The shirt was the same shirt mom didn't like when we went shopping the weekend before, I think it' perfect for the summer, don't you...more pics on the way soon, peace!

"MTA, going your way....To HELL!"
Wow, what a night. This post is a bit early because of spacing reasons...
It's Actually April 2nd, 7:30am...and I'm just getting home from Irene's party last night.
And ya'll can jump to all the conclusions you want, you'd be no way NEAR the story, so just cancel all those congrat emails and comment posts right now...
I wanted to be a LIL late for the thing (I hate being one of those first people there and not knowing what the hell to do...) so a left a around 10:45. I had the directions down packed! The place was not to far from where I was working at for the UN, it was just the next stop and a few blocks up. But it was the weekend and if ANYone in the city know, THAT's the only time the trains can really be worked on! (That and the very LATE night....).
SO, what became an easy 1 hour trip, became 2 and a half hour JOURNEY!
The 7 train was cut off from Manhattan. I had to take the N train to hook with with it at Queenboro Plaza (Which was 2 stops from the damn party!). But I didn't take the damn, N, I hopped on the R (They both have the same color coded scheme, just like the A, C, and E are all Blue Dots, the 1,2, and 3 are Red, etc, etc...), once I realized my mistake I got off, only to find the train was skipping my stop on the return trip (More contruction!), so the token booth clerk let me back on for free and I got back on the R going in the wrong direction till I transferred to the E. The E took me back to 42nd Street which was Square 1, and THEN I hopped on the N train. (Ya'll reading this from out of the city probably got no idea what the hell I'm talkin' about....)
So, I take the N to the right part of Queens and connected with the 7 Train finally around 12:15am (Yeah, I am WAY pass fashionably late!), the damn 7 train sits there for over 20 minutes gathering passengers like it's the last helicopter in the embassy! I didn't get to the place till 1am, WHICH for all you scientific heads out there REALLY was 2am due to daylight savings time!
The place was jumping, nice music, cool crowd, took me a few minutes to find the hostess with the mostess, but she was busy doing her thing which sometime required her to step out a bit.
As late as I was she was still glad to see me. I'm a man of my word, If I say I'm going to be there, I'm there! And since it was anocsanamun we're talking about here, there was no question on if I was gonna be there, it was a question on WHEN. I'd travel a thousand miles through the desert, barefoot just to see a picture of her on a milk carton.
If you would see me in the club, you'd swear I wasn't having a good time, but to the contrary, I would be having the time of my life! Think about it, I'm not a home going out my mind. I'm miles away, at a party, there are people dancing and drinking, and it's all good. BUT! I don't dance, so for awhile I was just on the side, staying out of people's way, then I found a spot on the wall to hold up, then a seat at the end of the bar next to the video poker machine...since I don't drink, I ordered my usual club sodas, the bartender let have 'em for free since they were probably a baby drink to him. I stopped after 5 I didn't wanna be stuck on the train ride home dying to take a piss.
The crowd was cool, the music was banging, I really wasn't checking anyone else out. Irene was busy doing her things so we only had a few passing moments to talk, I figured why should that be any different than our current situation so I didn't sweat it. The point of the matter is I came, If I didn't show up, I would have looked like a fake jerk in her eyes and she'd never wanna even email me again, this way...I'm still in her thoughts (I guess.).
The party was winding down at around 4:30am, so I left, going back to the city took just as much time going other despite going the right way due to the lousy late night/early morning service...I got home at 6:45am tired, but thinking "If I go to sleep now, I won't be able to sleep tonight!", so I stayed up watching videos on VH1...
Kayne West's "Touch the Sky" video is kinda cool, think I'll add that to mp3 player...
Well, this adventure's over...NEXT WEEK (This friday actually)....HIP HOP KARAOKE!, I'm finally going!
Peace!

"An Actual Chat Conversatition from AFF"
Ya'll ain't gonna bull-ieve this one!
I was up chillin online, checking out other cams on AFF when I got an IM from out of the blue...(Imma use the actual name so ya'll can check this chick's profile yourself...)
cumbunny134:Lookin 4 a hoe
(Notice there's no damn question mark on the end so I was confused for a sec...)
ME:What you have in mind? (I replied, intrigued)
cumbunny134:Read my profile
(So I take a sec to do so and find out she's looking for her next sugadaddy, so I'm like, "Shit!, she's really serious about this!")
ME:LOL!, Well, I AM pretty generous, but I probably can't afford you, toots. (Yes I used the word "Toots", I'm ol' skool like that, damnit!)
Then I added...
ME:Sure would be a time saver, though...cut thru the BS that everyone's been giving me nowadays.
(So, a few minutes go by and I assume that's the end of that, but I may have said a little more to show interest, and sometimes people IM more than 1 person at once so I usually give a long wait for a reply before closing the window...)
After A few more minutes-
cumbunny134:How generous (Still ain't using question marks, bad grammar is such a turn off in IM chats!)
(Thinking about my infamous past and my yearnings I come up with a reasonable response...)
ME:Well, I have been known to pay up to 250 a pop...on occasion.
(Another couple of minutes go by, guess I'm out of her price range...but then...)
cumbunny134:Ok
(I was like "OK?", the hell does that mean?)
cumbunny134:What kind of girl are you looking for
(Now, I was confused, her profile described all her atributes, so it didn't matter what she looked like unless she was willing to find that type of girl, so that had me thinking that this chick was a madam or something...)
(And, I don't know...if I was too tired to take her seriously or the smell of the baby oil over my ass at the time was giving me a high, but I jus typed...)
ME:LOL, are you serious? LOL
(I don't know, I was really out of it, it was like 3am, and sometimes you don't know if these people out there are talkin's shit or being dead ass. Anyway, I guess she got pissed a me fooling around with my stupid replies she cut off the window after that.)
About 20 minutes later, I came to my senses and thought, "Damn, she was ready to make an arraingement wasn't she?"
I tried to page her back, but she went offline, I put her on my hotlist of favorite and then went on my business...
It's kinda scary thou, that we at an age when the Ill Na Na's just wanna step up to you like that, took me for a loop.
