You cant have a protagonist without desire

2007-07-29T22:50:00.000-05:00

What is it that people go to see? In the world of movies, there are numerous genres and stories and interpretations of events.

Do people go to see interpretations of their own lives?

Do people go to see fantasy and things that they can only imagine?

Can a movie on life, with no events succeed?

Because after all, life is created around events. Life cannot exist with out a singular event. There needs to be an action or stagnant issues with a time stamp and the series of timestamps is what we call life.

Is it possible to have a protaganist without desire?

Can people be good with out any desire? Can people be good without any ambition? Can someone who is so confused with the intricacies of life, be so overwhelmed that they actually are considered "good" in this society?

Lost baggage

2007-07-27T23:24:00.001-05:00

I finally arrive in Ohare and proceed straight to baggage claim. Turns out my baggage will only be here the next day (Saturday) in the morning.

Although, I did end up getting a double stretch limo stocked with booze. Bad part was that I was in a double stetch meant for 10 drunk people by myself. Enjoy it anyways right?

Have you ever noticed that almost every woman's name ends in a vowel? Just an interesting thought. I think about 80% end in the letter 'a'.

Robert Schimmel Live at the Improv

2007-05-19T20:49:00.000-05:00

Friday night, Ryan comes into town and I gotta go pick him up. We were deciding what to do that night, and DING. Comedy night at the Improv.
Prashant was the MC and did a great job as usual. Robert Schimmel was absolutely amazing and he is a legend in the business. His story was also inspiration to never let anything take control of your life. You life is all you have, and if you don't have control over it, something else will.

After a couple drinks there, we head to Fox and Hound for a couple more. Turns out there is a party for another Ryan in the bar and they have the back area where the darts are. We decide to play anyways because as much as they might of reserved that area, no one was playing darts. We start playing and we look over and what do you know? CAKE. There was cake, make your own sandwiches and even fruit. We go over and take some cake, and I decide that I really want a cheese sandwich so I start making one. We bring the food back, and the drunk girl comes over and starts yelling at me for taking their sandwiches and takes it away. This made me very sad, but at the same time, me and Ryan couldn't stop laughing. Anyways, not much of a post today. But I did manage to get a picture with Robert Schimmel.

A week with a Nitro

2007-05-18T21:01:00.001-05:00

Now I know that the title probably gives this entire post away but I don’t care. As a minority of you are aware, I spent a good part of this week in Cleveland for a client. Its custom in the “consulting” field to travel a lot and rent a lot of “neat” cars. This car/SUV/truck mentioned in this article is ummm not so “neat”. The car in mention is the new Dodge Nitro. Let me explain how we ( my teammate and I ) came upon this miraculously piece of engineering ( I can almost vomit right now ). I land at Hopkins airport and head over to the National Rent-A-Car Emerald isle where basically if you are a member you can walk right up to a car and bypass the counters and drive away. I will mention we as my teammate and I from now on. Since we are both Emerald Isle club members, we walk up to a “full-size” car or so we thought. A nice Impala. I have driven an Impala before and they feel like driving a big boat. The suspension feels like jelly and the steering is so unresponsive that you would not know the difference between driving over a dime and driving over an elephant ( only true drivers will get that ). I really believe that Impalas are made for old people. Another thing that I hated about Impalas and generally anything GM are the cheap materials. It seems like the entire car was dipped in a plastic mold.

We get into the first car which is an Impala ( L ), and start to drive out of the lot. We are behind a decent number of people and we notice that one woman is in line and her trunk is completely open. She approaches the exit counter and the lady in the booth nicely shut the trunk. The lady in the car, turns left and the trunk opens again and the lady just seems to drive off. Next we pull up to the exit counter and lower the window and notice a certain noise from our car. After a little thought, we decide that it’s the front left tire as it has low tire pressure. The lady instructs us to exit the place and turn around and drive the car back into the lot and notify someone. Here we are, turning back into the lot and we see the lady with the trunk problem and someone is trying to repeatedly shut the trunk with no luck. Oh well. Either National has a ton of bad cars in Cleveland or there is something in Cleveland that attracts ratty cars.

Now back to the Nitro. Starting off with the looks. WHO THE HELL ARE THE ENGINEERS THAT COME UP WITH THESE CRAZY ASS DESIGNS? The Nitro to me, looks very dull and looks very much like a spin off of the Grand Cherokees ( which they very well may be ). The keyless entry has only two buttons: lock and unlock. Whatever happened to keyless entries having a trunk button or a ignition start button? Next, we examine the door handles. Its very cheap and uses a handle and a button which is huge. Now once we get into the car, all of the materials seem once again cheap and everything seems to be some sort of molded plastic. The steering sucked so bad, and on many occasions, the steering wheel would not return to its position, and if a driver wasn’t turning it back, we may as well just drive in circles over curbs and back into turning lanes. The suspension, was once again, very jelly-ish. I cannot fathom what this vehicle would be like off-road. All of the electricals were disappointing as well. We decided to play a game of lock/unlock in which we both press opposite buttons as quickly as possible and see who can push the buttons faster. It was a tie, but we noticed that after pushing them for a decent amount of time, the unlock buttons on both sides would not work. It got to a point where the unlock on the remote didn’t work. There must be a timed sensor or something, but in either case its stupid.

Now to the good stuff -

Two great spots in Cleveland if anyone reading this decides to visit. Café Tandoor which is an Indian restaurant. Had a great selection of food and very tasty. We took part of the food that was left over home and I left my Styrofoam container on the back seat. Well, I decide that I will drive back and on the way back I was very curious as to how the brakes in the Nitro were. Very randomly ( forgetting the food on the back seat ) I hit the breaks and once again disappointed. But then I started to smell Indian food, and it got stronger and stronger. We look in the back and what do you know, all of the food spilled. Oh Well, I guess this is why it’s a rental. We just turned the floor mat over and it was done. The other spot in Cleveland is the Cornerstone Brewery. Delicious IPA. Enough Said.

what ever happened to Freedom of Speech?

2007-05-01T07:58:00.000-05:00

Greg Olsen
Don Imus

In the wake of the entire Don Imus controversy, where he called the Rutgers womens b-ball team a somewhat derogatory term, a new controversy comes out.

Greg Olsen, first round pick for the Chicago Bears was involved with a pretty demeaning rap. Now the media wants to posterize it and its deja vu again.

Why the hell does everyone care so much? If you look at all of these controversies, the only person ACTUALLY affected is the person who expressed themselves freely. In the case of the womens b-ball team, they were merely offended. For something so minuscule, a huge event must occur. It is only wasting peoples time. The only people that care have nothing else better to do. These are the people that are waiting for someone to mess up and so that they can take away their respect and possibly even assets ( money ).

If you look at the Greg Olsen event -> He made a rap about women when he was 19 and in college. Now people dont want him to play for the bears because of a lack of character. WTF?
HE WAS 19. Do yo remember the days of 19 when you made tons of mistakes and you were just yourself? Since when did our youth have to watch out for everything and make good decisions so that they wont haunt them and surface in their adult years? Youth are what they need to be. Dumb and stupid. Thats part of the charm though. What will happen if we scrutinize every decision our youth makes? All I can see is that it will decrease creativity. People will be forced to think inside the boundaries in fear of getting scrutinized.

When will people shape up and actually care about the issues and event that TRULY affect them?

I say give Don Imus his job back.

I say, Greg Olsens rap was just that, a rap. So what. Judge him when he gets on the field. Not what he did in his past.

My flight was delayed two hours and when I arrived in Chicago it was already 8:00pm. My tickets were to the 7:30 show :< . I had the cab guy drop me off at woodfield mall. I stood in the middle of the parking lot with a huge luggage suitcase and my laptop gear and waited for my ride. Schler showed up and we were on our way.

Bed of clounds

2007-04-05T19:44:00.001-05:00

Alright as dumb as this sounds I would love to sleep on a bed of clouds. I stayed the Hampton INN Princeton, WV and it was horrible. The bed wad the worst ever and the pillows may have well as been an untied balloon. As soon as I put my head on the pillow, my head sunk in. The bed was also rock hard At this point anything is better, even this airplane seat.

That is all.

Landing strp in the hills

2007-04-02T16:09:00.001-05:00

You may not be able to see it from the picture but the landing strip is in the middle of the hills. We are in the plan about to land and the entire time I am wondering where the hell is the landing strip. Suddenly some form of land come and all I can see is mountains surrounding me. Look up the airport for Charleston, WV and tell me its not messed up.

2007-03-24T14:02:00.001-05:00

So i really hate gum. The hatred started a long time ago when i was a wee little boy who had a retainer. The retainer prevented me from chewing gum as did the braces. So naturally i hated gum because i couldnt hav it. Well this morning i wake up and look on my jeans and damnit. GUM why do people have to put gum everywhere like under tables and chairs. There is a perfectly good working trash can everywhere. Why cant people use it?

Pablo Francisco live at the Improv

2007-03-19T15:16:00.000-05:00

Another friday night at the Improv to go see Pablo Francisco. What a great show. The MC wasn't too bad, and the featured act was Frank Townsend of the movie Barbershop. I have seen him before, and he was hilarious. All of Pablos material was pretty new, and it was definetly good to go out and see it first hand than watch a comedy central episode. I also ended up buying a hat, and got it signed by the man himself. All in all it was a good night.

"stupid how i feel"

2007-03-11T20:12:00.000-05:00

The title of this post doesnt really go with anything, just what I was singing today.

I finally got a funnel and a oil pan to change the oil on my bike. Opened the garage, got out the 10w-40 and boo ya ka sha.

Its the greatest feeling in the world to get on for the first time this season and feel the engine roar. People who dont ride will obviously not understand it, but when they first get on , they will understand. Having the open air, and the road ahead of you, there isnt much else that could make it better. Not much else to say, but I feel amazing again. Riding is the biggest stress reliever, and no matter what is on my mind, when I get on, there is nothing else I can think about except the road.

LOVE THIS WEATHER LATELY.

good night

2007-03-01T23:41:00.000-06:00

I got free tix to go see Harland Williams tonite, and it was def worth it. It was the first time that all three performers were really good. The MC, headliner, and featured act. He even made fun of me in the show, and talked about my car, and me being vegetarian. Later I got pics with him. SWEET.

Also, I miss playgrounds. I went to one tonight after the show and it was a blast. Playing on the swings, and on the slides. Why cant adults have fun in the playground without looking like idiots or creeps.?

she fell in love with the radio

2007-02-19T21:32:00.000-06:00

she fell in love with the radio,
wasnt really me,
so i had to let her go,

what do those words mean?

Those are lyrics by John Legend, and when I heard that song over and over again, they gave meaning to something,

Can people be so blind sighted with what they expect, that when something unexpected happens, they go back to the beginning? I believe everyone has a comfort zone, in which they are happy with all of the good things in life, and content with the bad things. What if all the bad things too can be whilst away? What if the perfect life was to be happy with the good things, and sad with the bad things? That is the true meaning of Ying and Yang. For every action there is a reaction. I think that in life there has to be a balance. There is no one in this world that can be content with the bad things, and those bad things are what should make people change. It should make them improve themselves, and the ones around them.

theres a saying "if you are happy with what you got, why change anything?"

but can anyone truly be happy, and if so, happy with everything? I dont believe anyone can. I believe that when the other side happens, you have to evaluate the actions that led to it, and think about how to prevent it from happening again. After all, if you are content with everything in your life, then there is no strive to be great, or for the people that might be great already, no strive to be greater.

comedy

2007-02-18T22:21:00.000-06:00

Why do I love comedy so much, especially stand up?

people I have seen in the past year live,

Dan Kauffman
Todd Barry
Daniel Tosh
Greg Giraldo
Frank Townsend
Aaron Foster
Prashant Venketaramanajum ( just for you buddy)

soon to see with in the next 3 months

Dave Attell
Pablo Francisco
Gabriel Iglesias
and many many more,

I love comedy,

I saw Greg Giraldo this weekend, and he was awesome. Laughed pretty hard to the point, that my sides started to hurt. Our waitress blew by the way. I had a beer right away, and was sipping and sipping, and it got done. I had a good feeling, and wanted it to last so I wanted to order another one. Well, it took FOREVER for her to come back around. I had to wait and wait, to the point, where I was more pissed that I didnt get another drink, and got distracted for a bit during the show. Kinda sucked a little. Well, 45 minutes in the last act ( the headliner GG ) she comes back around. Now knowing there is only 15-20 minutes left of the show, whats the point of getting another one? Usually people are really good about things like this. Especially when alcohol is involved, waiters and waitresses will come around all the time, just to try and load you up on it. Not in this case. The goal should be to never let someones partial buzz go away in the middle.

Chapter 10 - Land of Sun

2007-02-17T15:13:00.000-06:00

Kyle had been getting very tired at work lately, and was in need of a good vacation. The work/life balance was a very difficult thing for him. He was one of those people that put life before work. He worked just enough to get by in life. After all, his outlook was, why work, when you can play. It was a good motto for some, and sometimes that was a great motto, but most of the time, it got him in trouble. He needed to go somewhere warm and somewhere away from all the women in his world. MIAMI was the perfect location. He left work promptly and headed home to pack so he can get ready to leave. He packed everything under the sun, including his swim trunks and such. Walking through the airport he noticed some people at the bar having a good time. He decided to join them in a drink and maybe he could make a new friend. Walking up to the bar he noticed a tall dark haired women sitting on the other side. He left a quick wince and a slight smile and proceeded to sit down. The bartender came around, and a Tom Collins was ordered almost immediately. He had turned around for a bit to scope up the rest of the bar. The people he had come in to see had left as he never had a chance to join in. He was alone on his side, with the closest company being the bartender followed by the dark haired woman. Looking around, he spotted a TV with a college basketball game on and highlights from other college games. All of his attention was paid to the tv. The bartender slowly walked over, and leaned in and said, “the lady on the other side of the bar wanted to buy you this beer.” Kyle was very impressed. Events like that never happen to him. He sipped the beer, and made his way over. He had mentioned that he was really impressed, and she seemed flattered. The conversation lasted for almost 1 hour, and the time flew by. Good conversation always seems to make the time fly by. It was almost closing time, and there he was, still talking to the same girl from the bar. The conversation and the connection were so good, they did not have a moment to take a break and exchange names. It went from topic to topic, and laughter to sarcasm, then back to laughter. He got a phone call suddenly, and he quickly looked at his phone. It was Sera. Why did she have to call at this time. The time when he forgot about everyone else, and was happy with where he was at? He didn’t pick up the call, and let it go to voicemail. One minute later, she called again, and thinking that maybe this was an emergency, he excused himself, and picked up the phone. She wanted to talk, but for no apparent reason. She was still playing those games, and still craving attention from Kyle, when the attention from elsewhere went away. Kyle said, he had to go and that he was busy and would call back later. The dark haired women had apparently left the bar, once Kyle excused himself. He decided it was time to leave as well. He walked back to the hotel, and walked inside and lay down on the bed. It had been a good day he thought. He decided to call Sera back to catch up on times. He called, and promptly she picked up and said she was busy and would call back. She did it again. And now, right when things started to become clearer, she was back in his head, along with the rest of them. There was no way, Kyle could make up his mind about anyone. His entire life, he was only sure about one person, but that one person was not so sure about him.

End of chapter 10

February 14, 2007 80 degrees F , 8pm

2007-02-15T18:37:00.001-06:00

I got a cab from my hotel to south beach for dinner and drinks. We went to this place called Mangoes last week, and it was amazing. There were people dancing on tables to salsa music, and very visually attractive. The entire bar was. Good drinks, and good food , so we decide to go back there. We go to dinner first, over at Ocean Cay, and turned out to be a whammy. We get a table right next to the curb, and enjoy the weather and the mojitos. A guy walks by, and he is a little sweaty and gives us wristbands to Mansion a new club or something in Miami. It was half off cover. We both think Sweet, lets go. We then find out that there is a lingerie show planned for the night. We walk over after dinner, and we are the first people in line. The bouncer tells me that sandals cant get in. SHIT. Now I had to go find a pair of shoes to buy at 11pm on a Wednesday. Some people mention that there is a shoe store open a block away, and I start walking and I see the sign, Shoes $20 and walk in to find everything but shoes. What trickery. I walk back outside, and find another store a little north, and what do you know? A nice hip hop store with some sweet shoes. I find a nice pair, and realize that I might as well buy a new pair that I like instead of just anything. I look at the price of one of them and it looked like $39.99. Sweet. I try them on, after buying a pair of socks as well, and fit perfect. I go to the register, and the shoes were actually $89.99. HMMMMM, Oh well, I needed a new pair of shoes anyways. I tried putting my sandals in my back pocket and I try to sit down and they keep falling out. I ask the counter girl if she can hold them for a while, and I can come back to get them. She says that’s alright, so I leave my favorite pair of sandals behind the counter with the intentions of picking them up tomorrow morning before we leave back to Chicago. I have had those sandals for 8ish years. I got them sophomore year of high school, and still had em. As I write this, I realize that I love those sandals, and I am going to miss them very much, but my new shoes should make up for the loss, hopefully. Well we get out of the store, and the line is ridiculously long. I walk up to the front to the guy, saying I got my shoes, and the bouncer says, back of the line. I just spent a ton of money, and now I have to go to the back of the line. I find another guy, and he tells the bouncer that we are good to go, and boo-ya-ka-sha, front of the line, and walked straight in past everyone. This was a sweet club. If you have the chance in Miami to go to Mansion, I highly suggest it. Everyone inside the bar was at least an 8 and it was amazing to see that many attractive people in a club. Heinkens were $8. That’s like a %600 profit there. HOLY SHIT. The vodka tonic that my teammate ordered was $13 and he was amazed, and handed the girl a 20 spot, and told her to just keep the change. HAHAH

After about 2 hours, the show finally started. They had a runway and everything, and the models were drop dead gorgeous. All wearing pink lingerie for valentines day of course. This was one of those days, when I had an open wallet, but it was all worth it. I get back from Mansion and I get to my room and stay up for about an hour talking to random people. Very interesting people. Sleep was hitting me hard, and it was about 3 in the morning already. I had to get up in 4 hours to get ready to go back to work.

The Travel Day from Hell, and the ensuing nights

2007-02-15T18:36:00.001-06:00

Well, Ill just start off into things. I was scheduled to be on Flight 1762 8:05 am from Chicago Ohare to Miami. Well, we all know Ohare absolutely blows. Delays are pretty much expected, and I firmly believe that they should report their departure and arrival times + at least 30 minutes just to let everyone know, that there is going to be a delay with every flight. Flash back one day. It is February 12, 2007 and it has already snowed a good 3 inches or so. Reports come in that it will snow another 6 inches or so. FUCK. This probably means that my plane will be late / cancelled assuming Ohare is blows, which it usually does. It never seems to do the opposite of disappoint. I look online to check the flight status, and see that its cancelled. I am about to call my team mate and let him know that the flight is cancelled but he beat me to it and texted me. I look for other flights on February 13, 2007 morning, and find only one. The 10:35 flight. Every flight before this and every flight after this is cancelled. So I try my luck and land a seat on that plane. Now I called earlier on Monday for my ride and told them to be at my house at 6. That would of given me plenty of time to get to O’Hare, have breakfast, take a quick nap, and etc… Well since my flight is now at 10:35, I decide that it would be a great idea to tell my ride to be at my house at 9. End of Monday. I wake up early Tuesday and realize that it is snowing like a blizzard outside and there are delays everywhere. I call my ride and tell them that I need to be picked up ASAP around 8ish or so. Reports online and on the news said that it was 1 to O’Hare from my place. I get a call back saying that the guy ( my ride ) is in his driveway shoveling and will be over asap. Get into the Towncar at around 8:45ish, and hear my driver repeatedly say how there is traffic everywhere, and everything is backed up. Not only did he continuously say that I wasn’t going to make my flight, he told me that he was low on gas as well. Just my luck. Somehow I actually get to O’Hare on time a la 9:20am. Not too shabby. The security lines were small and it was because all of the cancelled flights, and no one making it to O’Hare on time. I get through, and check in and what not and finally made it to the plane. Time to board, and I get on all nice and cozy in the middle seat. I hat the middle seat by the way. Its something akin to be wedged in every possible way with no way out, no place to stretch, no place to extend your legs, and always disturbing someone when you need to get up. I ended up meeting a flight attendant who sat next to me who was flying to Miami for another flight that he had to work on. He was really interesting and we had good conversation about condos in Chicago and the real estate bubble and investing. He had a book in his hand but he was hiding it the entire time. Well, I went to sleep and woke up randomly only to see the flight attendant next to me was passed out too, and the book he was reading was open. It turned out to be a gay male erotica novel. Interesting read, and for the 4 lines or so that I read, it was definitely attention-grabbing. There also was a crazy guy in the front who had an obsession with sesame seeds and was threatened that if he didn’t sit down, they would open the plane and he would be escorted off with air marshals. Now all of this happened while we were still on the ground. We had not taken off yet. We waited 3 hours to take off, sitting in the plane. All sorts of bullshit excuses, like the cargo runners are broke, or the latch was frozen shut, and then deicing the plane. The pilot kept on saying, they are deicing the plane, over and over again, and I never saw them doing it till the very very end of the 3 hour wait. When we finally get in the air, everyone starts clapping a little, and almost the entire plane is passed out from being so tired of just sitting there forever. We finally get to Miami at around 4:50. I still had to go get a rental car, and then I had to drive to the client. Well, that was a waste of a day. Client left already, and I just ended up spending an entire say traveling to Miami. We get the car, and had reservations booked at the Extended Stay America, in Coral Gables.

DON’T EVER STAY AT AN EXTENDED STAY AMERICA EVER

We get there, only to have the dumbass behind the counter, tell us that they moved our reservation to another property 4 miles west. WTF? The reason I made my reservastion there was because of the location. Why the hell would I want to be 4 miles away from where I wanted to be, and where I was told I had reservations. And who the hell decides its OK to move a reservation and not give a courtesy phone call or anything? What a horrible company. Then we decide to go back to the hotel where we stay last week. And the dumbass butts in and says “ The Hampton inn is booked too, they called us for reservastion and extra room.” We have had enough. My teammate calls them and asks them for any free rooms, to which they promptly reply YES. WTF was this dumbass talking about? Telling us that the hotel is booked, when we clrealy called it out in front of him, and all he did was shrug his shoulders. We get back in the car and drive over and finally relax for a while. We decide we need to unwind a little, so me and my teammate go find a bar and get some drinks and enjoy the warm Miami air. The night weather was perfect. A tad little breeze, and about 75 degrees out. What a good night.

think outside the bun

2007-02-07T21:51:00.000-06:00

It was 10:30, and I just got out of the hot tub, and got hungry. I get back to my room, and put on my clothes, a raggety pair of jeans, a hanes white tee and sandles. I get outside, and watch as three women go to the hot tub. Talk about bad timing. Anyways, I get in the car and go to find a taco bell, as I as famished. I am driving around, Miami, and cant find a taco bel lin the vicinity. I end up driving past a couple bars, and then realize, that I should drive around to go find the park. I get to three different entrances and find that they all lead to different marinas. Well, that was a great plan. I finally find the good park, and then drive around and NOTHING. No one around. O well, I decide I will go back to the other bar I saw on the way down. I drive past the place, and shit, gotta turn around to park. I turn around in front of a cop, who was parked there. (THERE ARE A TON OF COPS IN MIAMI ). So park finally, walk past the outside of the bar where there are a ton of people, and keep walking to find the entrance. I walk around, and there are three cuban guys, and I ask them where the bar is, and they point to the wooden door I am standing in front of. I open the door, and everyone else inside is dressed nice, and here I am dressed like I just woke up. I ask the hostess, where the bar is, and they point me upstairs and I am thinking wtf? Maybe there is one upstairs and downstairs and I can go to both. I get upstairs and NOTHING. There is a bartender, who is watching telemundo and thats it. I decide, well I have an obligation to drink at least one beer, since I am here. I cant leave without one. I get a Becks, and make it on my way. I walk back outside, from where I came, and then BAM. There is the entrance to the bar that I wanted to go to in the first place. I try to walk up, and the guy tells me that the place is closed. Well, that was a great plan. So here I am sitting in my hotel room again, typing out this.

Miami beats the hell out of chicago during winter.

money and calculators

2007-01-30T12:43:00.000-06:00

I have been doing a lot of "calculating" lately to prepare myself financially for a whole array of things. Buying a house, paying off my car, saving for retirement, and etc....

Then it dawned on me and I started doing my own calculations on what I need to make and what my spending habits are right now. I went to a "retirement calculator" on a popular site, and looked at what I need to save monthly to make the amount that I want to be at by the "retirement" age.

ALL OF THESE CALCULATORS ARE F*CKED UP

There is no reason, the average human being needs that much saved up by that time, to live. These companies have their own calculators and suggest people save that much, so the companies themselves will have more play money to invest with. This is straight out lying to the public. They are putting a notion into the public that they need to save a lot of money, and they are reinstating the fear of "what happens if I lose all my money". These companies should be held responsible for the environment and the affect they are having on society and the up and coming generation of young professionals.

If anyone else feels this way, post a comment.

special Guest Bill Gates

2007-01-29T21:57:00.000-06:00

Demetri Martin, the next new comedian. I saw part of his special on Comedy Central and it was awesome. He is a mix of Stephen Lynch and Mitch Hedberg in a way. Very low key, but absolutely hilarious. Check him out.

I accomplished a ton today. I will leave it at that. Not much to talk about, or at least not much to say.

The Daily Show has BILL GATES today.

O AND I MISSED HEROES AND STUDIO 60, noooooo

Its the Skeleton Key

2007-01-28T22:17:00.000-06:00

So when it rains, it really does pour, thats the theme of the weekend.

You ever get the feeling that sometimes you have a skeleton key that opens up every door in your way? And randomly it goes away, and mysteriously comes back. Well, I know the feeling.

I found my dads old wardrobe, and found some sweet jackets. I got the beige corduroy jacket that fit me like a charm. I decided to wear it out, and ended up getting a ton of compliments. It true what they say, the fashion does recycle. Went back to Butch Macgirues in rush/division and had a blast. Cheap honeyweiss all night. We ended up meeting these people from Idaho, of all places and they just moved here, and somehow we got on the topic of Disney movies. SWEET. That is a topic I love. Aaladin is by far the best disney movie ever.

Saturday night, Banzon and I saw Children of Men. It was alright. It ended very lame. I was also hoping for more substance in the film, but alright none the less. Sunday, we went to go see Smokin aces, which was pretty good. Jason Batemans character is hilarious for the 3 minutes he is in the film. Right after that, was a long overdue rock climbing session. That felt really good, and I am starting to find the dynos to start jumping from rock to rock, its really hard, but totally fun, and makes me feel like a monkey in a way.

I am currently watching Happy Gilmore and thinking, I need to play golf again. I stopped after working, and havnt really been to a driving range since. I know that golf and business go hand in hand, so I def need to get good or at least decent enough, to say that I am having a bad day.

Todd Barry, Live at the Improv

2007-01-26T00:00:00.000-06:00

For years now, I have been watching comedy central. My main vice is the standup comedy especially all of the premium blend and the sole comedy specials, a-la Dane Cook, Gabriel Iglesies, Todd Barry, Todd Glass, Daniel Tosh, Greg Giraldo, Pablo Francisco, and etc....

Well tonight I went to go see Todd Barry live, and he was awesome. Granted he used some of the same bits that I have sen before on the Comedy Central specials, he was still really good. There was another guy ahead of him, the feature performer by the name of Dan Kauffman. This guy is going to go places and people, if you are reading this, look out for this guy. He is gonna be hit in the next 2-3 years, and he will make a name for himself.

In other news, I have a LOT of ideas for chapter 9 and 10 because of drama around me, and I realized something today. The more drama and events in my life, especially dealing with women, the more I have to write about and the more stories I have to tell. It is an interesting phenomenon. So, people can look forward to the additional chapters as well as some extras.

O, and I found my favorite quote - "foolish people never learn from their mistakes, careful people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from other peoples mistakes"

- think about that one, and tell me you don't like it, I pretty much live by it, I look at everyone around me and analyze them in a way, and look at mistakes that may have been made and take them, and spin them in my mind, so that when I am presented in the same situation as fore mentioned, I will know the right way to react.

wtf?

2007-01-21T23:01:00.000-06:00

This new blogger shit is confusing. I tried to log in and got my new blog, but no one knows the new blog, and everyone knows this blog.

anyways,

post at the new one

thought

2007-01-17T21:02:00.000-06:00

life is strange, and when you need a change you need to wake up and face the lines,

its such a new feeling to open your eyes and see the world before you and know that you need to be the change you wish to see in the world, but it will not always be that way ( part of the quote was from something famous )

but anyways, things keep changing, one day its very evident and one day its questionable, who knows, i dont think it will every make sense,

Chapter 8 - Water by the setting sun

2007-01-07T23:22:00.000-06:00

It finally happened. Everything that Kyle had been doing his whole life had finaly caught up with him. It was a sense of karma none the less, and for the spectacles upfront, an amusing and wild story that people used to make judgements. The hipocracy was finally over and there he was. Left with only a journal in his left hand and the pen that he received from his grandfather in his right. He was prepared to start over again. Sera had hurt him too much and this was the last straw. Sort of a new years resolution to start over and rebuild himself. He started with his mind, he had to get rid of the notion that nothing ever just happened. He was the type of person that believed that you have to make things happen, and you have to put yourself out there to receive anything in return. He had finnaly realized that every time he didnt, there was no reciprocation. In a hurt-full yet mannered way, it was good for him. He needed the security of himself to be content with the actions of others and be satisfied with just letting things happen instead of always controlling the situation because he was unsure of the consequences. In this event, there was no reciprocation. It was solely up to the other party, for when contact was made and this is something that he was not comfortable with. He knew he had to cut his losses, and he did. He spent days on end, trying to get her out of his head, but he just couldnt do it. It was habit for situations like this to be alleviated with a bottle of rum, but this was different in a way. This was something more respectful. It has been said in the lives of men that, "you must give up something great to receive something great." He was unsure whether this was the time, but something in his head told him it was. He was akin to taking risks and this was the risk he was taking. If you look at all of the succeessful people in the world and look at how they got there, it was all tied to one thing -> risk. In the times that they felt most unconfortable with their lives, they took a risk on something that could end them, and it turned out to be something great. This was his risk. He had to take this chance to see what the outcome was. He was the type of person who would rather die trying something, than live avoiding it. He sat in his bedide with tthe pillow reading a book relationships. It was uncanny how all of the situations described in the book pertained to his life. He had to try one more time, so he picked up the phone and called her.
Ring ring.
ring ring,
ring ring,
voicemail
That was it, he had called too many times to not hear anything in return, but there was still a feeling, of what if in the back of his head.

What if she still felt the same way?
What if she doesnt know what she wants but will soon?
What if you are the guy for her?
What if your entire life you go without finding out the other "what ifs?" ?

End of Chapter 8.

2006-10-30T20:08:00.000-06:00

I got a gift certificate to one of my favorite stores a little while back. It was to Best Buy. The holy land of electronics that is good and pure. I decided to walk in and spend the gift certificate generously and buy myself something nice. Now, usually when I walk into Best Buy, I always end up buying something. This was different. It was eerie, because I had no idea what to spend the money on. None the less, someone elses money. I didnt want to buy any CD's or Movies, even small doo-daas. NOTHING. I walked in with a gift certificate, and I walked out with the same gift certificate. WTF. Something is wrong with me.

Halloween

2006-10-29T21:46:00.000-06:00

This is not chapter 8, im sorry. I am running a little behind, only because of training and being busy lately. But Halloween weekend was good. I got second place in the costum contest at Burwood Tap. I lost to a pair of double dare twins. :<

I went at "The Bachelor"

I had a nice suit, dress shoes. white shirt, pink tie, and 6 roses. I would of bought 12 roses, but who knew that fake roses were expensive. Any ways, most people knew who i was. I had a decent ammount of picture oppurtunities, mainly from random women. It was a good costume, and now i need to think of something better for next year. I ended up winning $50 at Eat at Joes, and everyone else got a free dinner or something. It was a good time. Chetan went as a malpractice doctor or something. He ended up having a smock covered in blood, which it should be mentioned, stained a little bit of my tile. :<
it will clean up though, im just lazy at this point. Meeta went as a pilot/hostess, Meghal went as a jailbird. His costume fit him really well. Another mention goes out to Banzon, who was a Ghhostbuster. Nicely done.

Chapter 8 will come soon.

Chapter 7 - The Slow Current

2006-10-17T21:18:00.000-05:00

Kyle woke up on his side close to the edge of the bed. He heard the rustling of the white sheets behind him. He turned around slowly to see the sight that he had dreamed last night. She looked so peaceful with her arms under her head. Her hair was a mess but it looked like it had been crafted that way on purpose. There was nothing he wanted to change about that moment. He was careful to get up as to not wake her. He got up slowly and did a doubletake to make sure his eyes did not betray him. "This is it, this is what I needed, this is what I wanted." She was absolutley beautiful, like a baby girl napping during the day. Her skin was still glowing and her gentle hair still still flowing. He didnt want to leave, but he needed to get up. He walked over to the bathroom for his morning routine. The faint sound of Kyle brushing his teeth had somehow woke up Deena. She sat up and put her arms in the air to stretch before she brought them back down to cover her yawn. "Good morning," he said in a soft voice. She got up and walked over to him to leave a soft kiss. She had mentioned last night that she wanted to go to the river walk. Today was the perfect day. The sun was shining down and the breeze was just about perfect. He mentioned that they could go to this new vegetarian place for lunch, and that it would involve a good walk. "On the bright side, we can take the river walk down and cut accross, the day is too gorgeous to be wasted sitting in a car or in a builing." They both got dressed and proceeded to walk downstairs. He got out first to see a familiar face walk past him. This was more than a familiar face though. It was one of those faces you never forget. Even watching they way they walked down the street in front of him, he knew that they had met before. The creaks of the stair case got louder and louder as Deena made her way outside. She got down, and saw the puzzled look on Kyle's face. "Is everything alright? You look like you just saw a ghost or something." That was just it. Every girl had he had come accross had eventually turned to a ghost in his life. It was safe to say that she would never be coming back. But there was no reason for her to. It was her descision. There was just one last thing he had left to say when he reflected on the situation. It was cowardess. He never understood the choices that he made in his life. He never had the chance to. He grew up sheltered and had all of his choices made for him. So when he got out in the real world he had everything to himself. He had to make the mistake to realize why the choice was wrong. He had to put himself out there to understand why the world worked like it did.

Chapter 6 - The Liberation

2006-10-16T13:18:00.000-05:00

The television was on mute. Kyles legs were hunched up onto the ottoman. His hands were in his pockets due to the apartment being cold. He was thinking about Sera again. He needed to find a way to stop thinking about. He needed to get away and put his mind on other things. It was like even after all the games she played, he was still living with her ghost. She was that ghost that was in front of his eyes. Always with him, but just never surfaced. She only surfaced at the times that he needed something more. He had to let her go. She used to mean something so much more, but in the course of events that took place in the latter months, things deterioted. He still had strong feelings for her, but not the way he used to. It was like every new interesting women took a piece of the cake that was reserved for Sera, and in the end, Sera had almost nothing. The feelings dwindled away slowly. He decided to get out for a bit. He left and called up Casey. "Hey, call some people and lets meet up." Casey was in from the moment Kyle said ,"hey." They all met up by the beach and watched as the sun sank into the horizon ever so slowly. Casey was like a split personality. He had two different lives in which no one knew anyone else. But that was the was he was, and there was no one that could change that except for Meghan. Kyle did not know most of Casey's other friends and was hesitant to talk to them especially Deena. Casey had Jessica who he had met in high school. They always had feelings for each other but the timing was never right. Fate was against them and so was time itself. They get to Kyles place and they
quickly wash up and change. They decided to go to a haunted house after cleaning up to keep in line with Halloween. Jessica had mentioned this place that was pretty scary. She had been there last year with her sister Deena and she mentioned earlier that day at the beach, how much fun it was. They eventually get there to see the line around the corner. They walk around to the end of the line and stood just chatting about the daily things in life. They eventually make it to the door and see the man dressed as a mummy. Kyle looked at Casey thinking, there was no way this could be scary. They get it to see pitch black. There were no lights. You would pretend to see things that were never actually there. Walking forward with your hands in front trying to feel your way around the corners was a challenge. He heard Casey from the back, complain about walking into the walls and found it pretty amusing. Kyle was leading the group followed by Deena and Jessica. Casey was in the back of the group. Kyle turned around the corner and heard a faint rustling noise. He the movement of air as someone jumped in front of them. Jessica started a brief scream as did Deena. Deena was quick to grab Kyles hand though. She held close to him the rest of the night. She felt a comfort in the way he held her hand. He did too though. Deena's hand fit into Kyle's, and he noticed it right away. Her skin was soft and it felt good to have someone want to hold it for a change. She stayed close the rest of the night. Kyle had suddenly
forgotten about Sera. His mind was on someone else. It was the innocence of the situation that made everything happen. He felt this liberation all of a sudden. It was like he was free from the spell that Sera had cast on him.

end of chapter 6

Chapter 5 - The Call

2006-10-12T22:10:00.000-05:00

Kyle had been questioning everything in his life as of late. If someone were to give him a look in any way he would question it. Even the looks he would get just walking down the street; it would spark his interest. He was one of those guys. The guys that needed affection, and when there was no one around, they would keep to themselves in the hope that things would turn for the better. Casey knew this, and he could tell. He knew exactly when Kyle was going through something. Sitting at dinner, he could tell from Kyle's quietness, that something was wrong. He knew that someone specifically a girl, was at the bottem of this. Women were his only weakness. He could sail up high for the rest of his life, but if the right woman crossed his path, he would float back down. He would become vulnerable again. That was him though, and that was how he was. There was no way to change that. There were only ways to cope with his infectious personality. Both in good ways and in bad ways. He was the type of person who, if he was happy and joyous, everyone around him was too. They would feed off of him. He was their lifeline, their source, and the means to just relax and get away from normal life and enjoy what was out there. But there was always the necessary evil. If he was down, everyone around him would be too. Those were the months where the phone bill piled up. He sat eating his spicy basil, wallowing away. Casey couldnt stand it. Something had to be done. Kyle needed to get his mind off of that girl and on to someone else. Maybe even himself. Anything, to get away from the one thing that meant something to him. It was irony in many sorts. To make him happy, you had to take away his elements. He was much like a little kid. If someone told him he couldnt do something or someone told him he couldnt have something, Kyle would want it even more. He would go at great lengths to get what he wanted, and he made sure most of the time, he did. That was what he took comfort in. Knowing that what he has around him, he earned and he got by putting himself out there and reaching for those things. Dinner ended sooner than expected thanks to Casey's phone ringing non stop. They had to seperate ways and head home. Casey was not there to help Kyle out now. Kyle was on his own for the night. There were no friends he wanted to call at this point. Casey was sort of the first and last resort. He was the only person he could turn to. Kyle entered his apartment and dropped his keys on the counter. He was slow to remove his overcoat. There was something about watching a thunderstorm that kept him in complete awe. The view from his balcony was to die for. The sound of the rain hitting the metal railings and the smell of fresh rain. There was nothing more he could ask for. Except to have her or Casey by his side. He crouched his elbows together on the railing and let part of his hair get wet from the rain. This was it, he thought to himself. This is where he realized what things are. He wasnt going to sit around and wait anymore. He was going to go out and make things happen. He quickly got back inside, leaving the balcony screen open so he could still hear the rain. He picked up the phone and pulled out the sugar packet in which he wrote the number on. The slow pulses of the dial tones reiterated the fact that Kyle was lonely. "Hello", he said in a soft voice. He heard the crackle of the wind on the other line. Then a faint "Hello, hello, who is this." Quick to the draw, he hung up. He was still nervous, and he had no intentions, it was merely a call to call. To prove that he was willing and had the courage to call. He tried again. Then he heard the voice of the woman again.

End of Chapter 5

the muse

2006-10-11T01:10:00.000-05:00

do you remember the in greek mythology,
there was a mention of the nine muses, for those that dont know
follow the wiki link here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse

i started thinking about the muses, and the elements that they bring and virtualize,

i know i have at least one muse, it was inspiration and it always will be

who or what is your muse?

chapter 4 - do not disturb

2006-10-09T21:13:00.000-05:00

The door start to open on its own. The light from the hallway was visible through the opening of the door. The shadow of an arm proping the door open lay on Kyles floor. The door opened up and there was casey. He looked horrible. He had on this undeniable frown on his face that gave everything away. "You went to go see her didnt you?" Kyle asked. Casey nodded pathetically and walked in. "I was going to surprise Christina, because she said she was going to be in town, she gave me her hotel room and said to stop on by if I wanted." Casey had met Christina back in junior high. She was his muse. She was the one person who inspired him to do everything different. "I called her yesterday and she said that she wouldnt mind seeing me, because she was in town on work and she mentioned she was really busy, so I thought nothing of it," said Casey. He continued to ramble on and on about Christina, to the point where Kyle was fed up. He had seen this happen before. "So what exactly is the problem, you said you wanted to see her, and you said you went to go see her?"
"I got to her door at the hotel and there was a 'do not disturb' sign on it."
"So I wanted to see if she was there so I moved closer to the door to knock, when I heard her."
"I couldnt listen anymore so I had to leave. And thats why Im at you place now."
Kyle had to comfort Casey again. For some odd reason, he felt that he was responsible for many of the things that happened to Casey. There were two lives so close yet completely different in nature. It went back to elementary school and Kyle believed that one event decided everything. Early on, Casey stole Kyle's then girlfriend. It was a case of puppy love. Something so childish and something that lasted for no reason other than to last. But that girl eventually did the same thing to Casey as she did to Kyle. This made them grow fonder of each other, because it was something that they both had been through, and when you are young, you make a connection with people who are going through the same things you are. Those are the connections that last forever. It was getting late so Kyle headed to the bedroom to get a blanket for Casey. Casey layed down on the couch to notice a blanket on the side. "Yo, I got a blanket already." Kyle had completely forgot that he had spent the night on his couch earlier. "So who stayed over, or why is there a blanket here?' Casey asked. "Ill tell you later, I need to sleep for now," Kyle wavered and went to go to sleep.

Chapter 3 - Let Your Armour Down

2006-10-03T21:04:00.000-05:00

He wakes up to the sound of the coffee pot brewing. His head turns towards the bedroom door, to see the sheets shuffled. He gets up and walks over to see the sight of an empty bed. What was the purpose of her visit? Lying back down on his bed, it hits him. It was the promise. The promise she made back then when things seemed so perfect. It was before all the glimmer and before that season that faded away like ashes on a breezy day. He gets up and goes through his morning routine. Standing in front of the mirror, running his fingers through his black hair, he realizes something. He is no longer that person. He is no longer that person who put everyone else before himself. That was the reason he got there in the first place. Helping everyone out all the time and not giving time to yourself can leave you with just that, yourself. Everyone will eventually walk all over you in some way or another. The break up was good for him though. The new found confidence, and a keen sense to take advantages of the oppurtunites in front of him. But as soon as he saw her again, it went back to the way it was. Its like a flip of a switch. He had to get out of there, and put his mind on something else. After a quick shower, he gets dressed and heads out to get breakfast. A quick call to Casey, and in five minutes, it will be like old times. A Sunday morning breakfast on the corner. Glass of orange juice, scrambled egges w/ onions and greenpeppers, and a side of hashbrowns smothered and covered. He would have it no other way for 8 years now. He mentioned how Sera showed up in front of his place last night and what she mentioned. Casey was distraught and didnt want to hear it. Casey was on of those guys that would do anything for anybody as long as it gave him some advantage in something. His cocky manor was at many times amusing, but sometimes it was out of place. But he didnt care, and thats what he admired about Casey. He hears the phone ring, and takes a quick peek at the caller ID.
"Meghan"
Meghan was his sister and she was going to be in town for a few days.
"Hey sis, hows it going"
"Eh, had a long day, but hey, Im gonna be in town for a few days, so im gonna crash at your place"
"Fine by me, an extra key is on top of the door siding, you just gotta reach to get it"
"See ya tomorrow"

He hangs up the phone and and tells Casey about the conversation. Casey seemed somewhat surprised yet very calm. He had a secret that he had been hiding that he didnt want anyone to know, and he was going to do anything to make sure it stayed that way.

Two years ago, Meghan came to visit again and that was the first time Meghan met Casey. Casey had just been told off by his then current girlfriend and was pretty down all day. Meghan took one look at the poor soul, and she knew she wanted to make him feel better. That was how it started. No one knew about them both, and that was the way they both liked it. They both were quick to part ways though. It was one of those times when two frustrated souls meet and use each other to get back to where they belong. But the deal with relationships is that someone is always deeper in it than the other person. In this case it was Casey. Meghan was one of those girls that was so emotionally unstable that she could go from guy to guy and never feel a thing past the first month. She was afraid of commitment. It was one of those rare cases where the woman was afraid. Casey needed her when she was there, and he grew a small depedence on her, and then he did something that he thought he would never do. He fell for her. But this was a lot more complicated. It was his best friends sister and they both agreed after some time, that if either side wanted to break up, they both would, and do it without any mess. That was the lazy summer, or at least thats what Casey liked to call it. Tomorrow was going to be an awkward day for Casey. It was a long time before he saw Meghan again. There was no contact after they both seperated their ways. Meghans brother Kyle was thinking he could use a female influence for a couple of days. Kyle needed it. After the break up, all he had left in the city was Casey. He had no other female friends because when he moved into the city, he was with Sera. That put a huge damper in his outside life.

Kyle gets up and heads back to his place to get some work done on his book. He had been trying to write a book for a while now, but never really had the time or the initiative. This was his chance. He got back and sat in his white leather italian couch with a small laptop and typed away. The death of one of his close friends was a subject he like to write about only because it affected so many people around him. It was one of those rare chances to write about emotions of other people, and this was one of those time where he remembered every single emotion that every person at the funeral wore. It had affected a lot, and especially on the way he looked at life, but it affected Casey even more. This was the one subject that could get casey to get out of that protective shell and be himself. Kyle picked up the phone and called Casey. After one phone ring, he hung up, and walked to the door. He had heard the familiar noise ever so much lately. He walked over to the door and opened it slowly.

Chapter 2 - The Promise

2006-10-02T22:31:00.000-05:00

He wakes up in the middle of the night in a hot sweat. Heart beating like the dancing drums from an african village. Panting, he quickly realizes, it was the lightning that woke him so suddenly. He pulls off the covers and slowly steps out of bed. Walking towards the kitchen, he heard a familiar noise. It was the noise of someone walking in the hallway. He turns around and heads back to bed.
KNOCK KNOCK
Stunned, he turns around and looks at the door and wondered who could be at his door this late. The floor produced creaks as he walked slowly towards the door, like a man who was walking off a cliff. He opened the door, and there she was again. Sera was standing drenched in his doorway.
"Can I come in?" she asked

He is quick to reply, with a slight tender ,"yes." He likened her to a breath of air before. He begged for one more breath before their last encounter. She wouldn't have it. She left him like nothing else. No questions and no answers, she left with sublte words and a soft goodbye. He wanted to take his last chance and do what he felt he had to do. But it ended up being too late. He held this secret with him forever. Only Casey out of all people in this world knew. This was his chance again to be with her. See if there really was something there. Was this the last chance they had been given? They sat down on the couch to talk about her night and the promise she had made to him. She felt lonely and she just needed to be around someone familiar. He was it. He didn't have in him to talk for much longer and was quick to mention that they both should get to sleep. He brings out a blanket and a pillow and lets her take his bed. She walks into the bedroom as he walks out. The couch faced the door to the bedroom, and he wanted to get one more look at her before they both sleep. He lays his head down, and turns to the side to look through the doorway. There she was looking back in a beautiful black dress. She turned around and like a goddess unfolding in front of your eyes, she slips out of the dress. Eyes bold now, knowing this is the image that he has to sleep with. She knew what she was doing. She knew he was watching and that he would be tempted, and he was.He turns his head to the other side to keep her image out. All he could think about was her gorgeous tan skin and those curves that made her everything he used to want. Clutching the pillow to his head, he tries to sleep, and then he hears her voice one last time. A soft "good night."

End of Chapter 2

Chapter 1 - Holiday from Real

2006-10-01T18:15:00.000-05:00

This is just a place somewhere in the world. You walk into that place and its all yours. There is a sense of presence as soon that first step is taken, and you dawn a small breath and then you smell the familiarity that you have known all your life. He walks into his house after a long days work to relax. This is his kingdom and no one can take that away from him. He then sits down on the couch and turns on the TV. He thinks to himself, this is his life now. Things have changed a lot in the past eight years. The phone rings, only to realize that it is Sera. He picks up the phone reluctantly and answers with a small sigh. She senses his ambiguity and decides to make the phone call quick. As assistant as he is, he dictates to actually pay attention and listen. The conversation drags on and on till the final moments when she says, "can I move in with you." His heart starts beating faster as this is the first time in his life something like this has happened. In a mistaking unknowing way, he abilities and Sera is quick to express her happiness. He slowly puts down the phone and takes a moment to himself to think of what he just did. "Is this what I what, and is this what I need now?" he thinks to himself. He slowly gets up to walk to the kitchen and as soon as he takes his second step from the couch, "ring ring." He picks up to hear the voice of Casey, one of his best friends. Casey calmly states over the phone,"Im heading downtown toned, you in." With a little bit of hesitation he replied to casey comment with a brash, "sure OK." He mentions the conversation that he just had with Sera. Casey is quick to reply," Do you remember what she did to you?, dude you can do this, this will change things again, and especially when you just got going again."

What I want for Christmas

2006-09-29T11:22:00.000-05:00

Its a little early to be posting things on what I want for Christmas, but I couldnt let this go.

samaso chat

2006-09-26T21:12:00.000-05:00

So its been a decent while since the last post and I know I have not been on here as much. There have been many things contributing to that.

I started watching TV again, after taking a long hiatus. Started getting into Entourage, Studio 60 on the sunset strip ( mentioned later ), and the new series Heroes. All are good, so you should watch them all.

I was watching the second episode of Studio 60 and they mentioned Terre Haute. Now, I have lived in Terre Haute for almost 4 years of my life ( excluding 3 summers ), and every time its mentioned anywhere, i LOVE it. It was also mentioned a while back on the daily show for the quirkey rebelious commercials against another weather station affiliate or something. I was in terre haute when those commercials came out, and it was a blast. To turn on the daily show and watch Jon Stewart make fun of terre haute, what else can a guy ask for?

Also, I ve been watching a lot of movies lately. My set up is almost complete. I just need to buy a good set of speakers. I got everything else setup, and let me tell you, ITS SWEET.

Ive been rock climbing a lot lately. I found this awesome place down in Warrenville in the Lifttime Fitness place. They are pretty good for normal climbing and such and if you are a beginner, thats the perfect place to go. If you are into bouldering, then there is this place in Crystal Lake which pretty much is all bouldering. THey got this cave which is unbelievable with a little cove room above it. You gotta jimmy yourself through an opening to get to it. It pretty amazing.

Bike season is almost up. :<<<<

big frown face on my end.

I still gotta change the oil and lube up the chain. Its been a while. For those of you that know what happened, you would understand. Its weird how a single event can have you take a step back and look at things a little differently.
Thats pretty much all i got tonite.

Good night all..

On my way home on 294, there is a place called
Midallas - Home of the Midget Bar

thats right, i dunno why but i have a fear of midgets in group,

midgets in groups can accomplish anything really, didnt you watch that fox special?

i did some research, and found out that mainly only the bartenders are midgets, and the people are not, but anyways, i will make my way around there,

new hampshire / vermont

2006-08-15T21:46:00.000-05:00

So at first it seemed very small and quiant. Then i realized that Darthmouth College was 10 minutes away. The town that Dartmouth is in, is sweet. Its a little town and everyone is amazingly nice. In the week so far, I have tried 2 different Vermont brewed beers and a Maine brewed beer. They have all been really good.
- Trout head Red Ale from Maine
- Long Trail black berry from Vermont
- UFO Heffinweizen also from Vermont

I think I could definelty live here. The roads are amazing and having a bike here would be like heaven for me. The pizza I got from here was delicious. It was from Ramunutos. I really need to start a list of all of the different beers I have drank since I started work.

In other news, Ill be home again this weekend and I and definetly looking forward to it. Meghal leaves this weekend, and my sis and Arjun are all leaving. This will be a weekend of goodbyes for a while.

That is all. Time to go to sleep and wake up and go rock climbing at the place behind my hotel. Wake up at 6, go climbing, go swimming in the 75ft lap pool and then go to work. I cant wait.

relaximacating

2006-08-14T06:22:00.000-05:00

"why you be false-i-ma-cating?"

this was a good weekend, very mellow and chill, and i didnt even drink THAT much. I finally bought a growler of the Vanilla Creme Ale from Praire Rock. If you dont know what that is, I suggest that you find out soon because it will be one of the tastiest beers you have ever had. Im at MidWay right now typing this and just finished my PotBelly breakfast sandwich. It was delicious. PotBellys in general is awesome. I dont have many pictures of this weekend because I was lazy. This week will ensue more to come. Im going to be in NewHampshire so if you are in the area give me a call. So basically, no one will call because no one is in NewHampshire. I think the closest major city is Boston but I am probably wrong.

Spearmint Rhino

2006-08-07T15:41:00.000-05:00

Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

So I will start out by quoting Lucas by saying, “Las Vegas was sweet, DEFCON was cool too.” That pretty much sums everything up. I love that town. Drinking down the street and people everywhere, what else could you ask for?

DEFCON was awesome. This was my first time attending the conference and I loved it. The talk that they had were amazing and since Im not too familiar with a lot of the things that were talked about, I didn’t understand everything but just being exposed to it was nice. I got a CD that has all of the talks and presentations on it so if you want to check it out just shoot me an e-mail or instant message me and ill get you a link or send you a copy. There were so many people. A lot were the introverted, “I’m better that you because I have ‘owned’ so much more.”

I learned something this weekend. I suck at gambling. I didn’t know how to play craps or roulette or even some of the mannerisms needed to play blackjack. At certain blackjack tables you have scratch the card on the table to hit or if you want to stay you have to put the cards touching underneath the chips. The chips always have to be in order of the least count on top too. At other tables it was all hands. You had to hit the table if you wanted another card or wave your hand over to stay. It was a learning experience.

As you probably can tell I am not going to type out everything that happened for many reasons.
There was too much shit that happened to write it all down without boring my audience.
I don’t really know who all read this blog. But if you do please make a comment so I can keep track of what I can say and what I can’t.
Once again there was too much shit that happened to keep track of it all.

If you want to know, just ask and I will tell you everything that happened. I cant wait till next years DEFCON. Also there are a TON of pictures that will be posted, so if you are bored or interested you can piece them together from that. If anyone is interested in coming to Vegas next year, I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT , especially if you are finally 21 because that made this trip so much better.

deja vu

2006-08-02T17:58:00.000-05:00

I open up my desk at the hotel and it was made by KIMBALL. I used to work for the KIMBALL Electronics Group. They had a Furniture Group too but i didnt work for that. The desk is pretty nice too by the way.

The Banana Printer

2006-08-02T17:38:00.000-05:00

her -> "can i have a shout out in your blog"
me -> "NO"

I am casually walking by to get some water at work and I see something that catches my eye. It was a banana set on a printer. I don’t know why I am typing is but I thought it must be said. It wasn’t just on the printer like on top of it or something. It was on the paperport section which meant that if someone was printing some documents the banana would get in the way. That would cause a loss in employee productivity. The other thing I wanted to talk about was office décor. I like places with a lot of windows that let in natural light and places that employ the use of a variety of plants. It just adds to the environment and doesn’t make your day seem stale and groggy.

“Grey Goose Martini olive on the twist 30 and up.” When you say something like that to a bartender you know your drinks.

“Trap door lead to pool under ground” I am walking to the bathroom and I see this on Fox NEWS as one of their headlines and there is none other than our great president right behind it. This is the most irrelevant information that fox news can offer to the general public. It should concentrate on the war maybe, or even the economy. Anything that will make the general IQ of the public go up by even .000000001%.

EXCEL CAN DIE. That is all I have to say. Those dumb formatting problems and sometimes the formulas don’t work right. I never understood why EVERYTHING has to be in excel and why EVERYTHING has to be babied in a way when written. Things should be written for the pure sake of being available again and having a hard copy. All those documents and spreadsheets that companies use only once in a while yet spend half the year creating. That is another thing I have noticed about corporate life. The time spent planning, designing and implementing something overshadows the actual lifeline of a product completely, and sometime even by 50 fold.

Solitaire and spider solitaire. Now, I am a fan of spider solitaire but many people are a fan of the original solitaire. What do you think is better? I like the options in spider solitaire that let you choose how many color decks to play with and in general it is much more exciting. There is the anticipation of what the next card is and if you are playing 2 colors, then you are always wondering when you click that face down card, “is it red or is it black?” Then you realize that either works or then you start to question yourself on which side to move it to, even though it doesn’t matter. Then when you have an open space you have to decide which card do I want to move first. This is tricky because once you move a card to that space you have an open card that you get to see. Yet another time for excitement and celebration. FreeCell is another good game. Have you ever tried to finish all of the games possible? There are around 25000 I think. I remember once in India, my uncle challenged me to finish all of the games possible and after like 20 I gave up and just tried the ones that he hadn’t beaten yet. I wonder if there is a record for the time it takes to finish a FreeCell game and also a record for the number of days to finish all 25000 games. That’s something to dream about for all you people out there and that is my question of the day. “HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO FINISH ALL OF THE GAMES IN FREECELL IF YOU START AT GAME NUMBER 1 AND GO TILL THE END IN CONSECUTIVE ORDER?”
Post comments on what you think and your guess…..

Easton mall is sweet. Tons of people and tons of nice high end shops. Graeters Ice Cream by the way is delicious. If you are ever in Ohio try it out and you will enjoy it and remember the taste of it until you go back. Took pictures too and I will post them later on. Now its time for an early bedtime so I can get up early tomorrow and workout to Saved by the Bell. Seriously, no joke.

O Hi O hows Ohio

2006-08-01T16:17:00.000-05:00

Monday
Finally got to the airport and met yet another awesome driver. Only this morning did I realize how much I LOVE POTBELLYs. Especially their breakfast sandwich then egg and cheese and loaded it with everything. MMM mMM MMMM.

I got off of work and headed to dinner with the co’s. That’s co-worker for short. We ended up going to Easton which if you haven’t been is a sweet place. Its really swanky and everyone there seems rich and its just one of the nicer parts of Ohio. Abuelo’s was the Mexican restaurant we ate at and it was pretty good. Had a semi-decent Mojito, and only because it was the special. After dinner headed home and worked out, biked a little in the exercise room at the hotel and then when all the little kiddies left the pool, it got to be papa bear time. I had the pool and hot tub to myself, which was pretty sweet. I haven’t been in a hot tub in a while and it was definitely very relaxing and soothing after a long day at work and working out. I did a lot of thinking, and I decided that I do my best thinking in a hot tub. Then after I got back, I preceded to get a ton of calls and texts from everyone. It was kind of creepy because while I was gone from my room I received nothing and even when I got back and checked my phone first for anything, there was nothing. So I went to the pisser and came back out to a ringing phone. That was call number 1. There ended up being 4 more calls and a ton of texts with in the next 2 hours. And even a text at like 12:30. It was ridiculous.

Tuesday
Cafeteria food is horrible. I had to get lunch at work and didn’t get a chance to get out because I was busy. So I ended up getting a semi stale pizza and fries. Ill make up for it though by getting something gourmet and delicious later for dinner and will probably get some fine wine to go along with it. Also, I drank a pop today, which was once in a long time. A Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, and it was pretty good but I won’t be drinking any more pop in a while. Today is going to be a day of a lot of sleep hopefully. O O O, this morning I watching MTV and they played Cassie – You and Me, and it’s been stuck in my head all damn day. That video is pretty hot. Now usually I watch “Saved by the Bell” in the morning and I did that every morning in high school and missed a lot in college because I would never wake up that early. Since now I am forced to wake up early, I watch it every morning on TBS. Y’all should be watching it too. No matter how old I get, I am going to still be watching “Saved by the Bell.”

You know what the best part of staying a hotel is? Everything, well almost everything. You can be really messy during the morning and in the afternoon when you come back, its all there and its all clean. You never have to lock your door because it automatically locks. The towels are always stocked and there is always an abundance throughout the place. The TV usually has decent cable usually with HBO and other movie channels. The beds are always made when you come back from work. The place is vacuumed almost everyday. You can walk around completely naked and not have a care in the world. Free internet and its always high-speed. I can go on and on and list yada yada yada but I’ll stop.

I have not been reading much lately. I need to get into the habit of finishing books when I start them. I have done this over and over again. I want to read more books on success stories and books that make me think. I really want to get into reading the wall street journal everyday but as of now, since I am always on the road, I have no time. But eventually I will.

Ive been thinking about a condo downtown lately and how I would decorate it and paint the rooms and the furniture and the electronic gizmos I would buy and let me tell you, I could do that all day. Thinking about what kind of TV to get and what size and whether or not it would match the speakers and then thinking about what speakers to get and then what couches to set the mood and what color I would paint everything. I’ve decided one thing though, and its that no room in my “future” condo will have white walls. I want to paint everything in shades of pastels. I really like pastel greens and blues and I am a huge fan of a darkish grey. I think I would have candles around a lot too. My bedroom would be very simple with a very low bed. I don’t know why but I think that beds with a low height tickle my fancy. One thing for sure though would be my bar. Even if it’s a mini-bar I would be fine. In key west Abby had this small little section built in for a bar with its own mini ice machine and a sink and shelving for booze-a-hol. I want it in my place. I would stock it with the finest liquer like Bombay Sapphire, Grey Goose, Jack Daniels, 1800, Bacardi, and I want to buy another one of those Absinth bottles that I bought from Serbia before. Those would be my show bottles and then I would also have my “bottom self.”

"in the life we lead, we should lead the way"

So I have to get up at 3am on Monday morning for a flight to Dallas for work. BTW, I love my job so far. But anyways, I got up at 3 and left my house at 4 in an extended Lincoln towncar with a cool ass driver. He had been driving his car since 1976, I kid you not. He was actually born in Paris, IL and knew about Terre Haute and Rose-Hulman. He was talking about how Terre Haute used to be called the second Chicago and how it was a red light district and his parents didn’t let him go there. He moved from Paris when he was 16 or so and went to the suburbs of Chicago. He was telling me about some of his clients like Dan something. Apparently he was a billionaire and still is and he is the majority stake owner or the actual owner of the Arlington race track in Arlington Heights. Art ( my driver ) was talking about how this guy ( Dan something ) was so rich that Art would have to go pick up women and a lot of the times he would get laid either in the hotel room or in his car. This guy was definably money. He kept on talking about how he missed that life and how now that he is old he has to end up just being the driver and cant do any of the other “fun” stuff. Cool guy though. So I finally get to Midway and I hop on my plane straight to Dallas.

Got of the plane to Dallas and the rental car section is fucking 5 miles away. Whoever thought about this design is a retard. I had to take a bus all the way there and when I got there, it was in the middle of fucking no where. It was absolutely ridiculous. But I got a car and ended up with a Monte Carlo which sux balls. DON’T EVER GET ONE. It feels like you are driving a boat and everything is so “squishy” which sux. There is also no power in the car. But rental cars are fun to beat up so its alright. Got to work, and then went to my hotel to check in and what do I see. My room has another “room” inside. There was a separate bed room with everything and it was sweet and I also had my own kitchen with utensils and dishes. The room was definitely money. I call up Pamela Dopka and BAM, she’s in Dallas and best part is, she is like 3 miles away from my hotel. So I did the logical thing and she came over and we went out to the next hotel for drinks cuz it was within walking distance and it had a bar. We met this cool ass bartended who was telling us about all the cool places and such.

He told us about how the county that we were in was dry and that you had to be part of some dumb membership thing to drink. STUPID. But he gave me and Pam drinks anyways cuz we didn’t know any better and we were out of town. We went to Pam’s house for a little to check it out and its sweet and a really nice house. We also got directions to go downtown and try to find a park and ride which is hard as hell to find in Dallas. We find the park and ride and I had to go take a piss really bad so I go to the edge of the station and make sure there are no cameras or anything and take a HUGE piss. It was making a puddle and was making a little river which was attracted to my nice shoes. Not fun cuz I started lifting my left shoe and let me tell you, pissing on one foot is not fun and or safe.

We finally get downtown and there are lights everywhere and people but half of the shit is closed. WTF? Dallas closes early for a decent sized city. I stopped a cop on a bike and asked him if there was still anything open and he pointed in a direction and told us to see what’s there. So we started walking and let me tell ya’ll, downtown Dallas at night is very shady. You don’t really feel a sense of safety there. We find a Mexican place that was just about to close and we walk in and ask and they were like yeah, come on in. Me and Pam get some drinks, talk about everything and catch up and our waiter comes with our order and we decide we want to talk to this guy. He seemed kind of young and seemed like he would know his way around to the happening spots around the city that closes early. He tells us about all sorts of places and at this point Pam and I are the only two people in the restaurant other than the employees. We kept on talking and then he gave Pam some sort of service discount card that good at like all the bars and restaurants or something. It was pretty sweet. Then we proceed to walk back to the train, and I am very buzzed at this point cuz I have had a decent amount to drink. But on the way there some homeless man convinced me to give him my leftovers and then on top of that he wanted me to give him money. I didn’t give up any money though, although I still wish I would of came home with those chips and guacamole in my hand. Oh well.

Next day after work I went to the Reunion tower. It was one of the coolest looking buildings I have seen. On the way there we park in the lot and see like 3 pink Cadillac’s in the lot and think wtf? We get to the top of the hill and see a MILLION women all with tons of makeup and smelling like a million dollars. Some were even really hot and young. It turned out to be a Mary Kay reunion or awards banquet. This is in connection to another story later on so remember this. So I get to the top of Reunion tower and I can see where Kennedy got shot and almost all of Dallas and a little bit of Fort Worth. We try to get into the restaurant which is revolving around the tower (so cool). They had a damn dress code and wouldn’t allow sandals and or tennis shoes in. So we went one floor higher to the not so swanky place and turns out it was empty for a reason. They had the shitiest menu ever. Nachos and chicken fingers and other random bullshit that didn’t sound appetizing for dinner. So we go back to the ground level and head out someplace else.

My PM tells me about this sweet place called DragonFly which is in some hotel called Hotel ZAZA. This was one of the swankiest places I have ever been in. Their wine menu was amazing and in the front were a Ferrari, a S500 AMG and I think an S6. Regardless their menu was good too. The food was good and the wine was good but the desert was to die for. I ended up getting a yada yada Crème Brule. The yada yada signifies some words that I don’t know how to spell or say cuz it was almost in another language.

Head home after dinner and almost instantly pass out from all of the food and wine. Get up next morning and go to work and right after work we leave for the airport again. We get there kind of early and all of the Chicago flights have been delayed for some reason so we try to get stand-by for an earlier flight and we ended up getting standby on a 7:50 and also getting tickets on another 7:50. Weird coincidence cuz they were two different flights just that one was delayed longer and ended up being the same time as the other one. OOO, at the airport they had a Fridays so I go and get a snack and order fries w/ the Jack Daniels sauce and look at the beer that they have on tap and I see a Bike, so I get excited and it was what I thought it was FAT TIRE and it was on TAP. OOO, I also saw the hottest girl I have ever seen. It was like seeing Krystal Steel in real life same body but with a cuter face and like 18 or 19.

I get on the plane and meet a nice lady and turns out she was at the Mary Kay thing. We started talking about things and she eventually ended up giving me her card and personal website at MaryKay for some men’s skin care products which I was asking for. Weird coincidence again. So I am on the plane right now typing all of this and yeah, I am going to go to sleep now. There should and will be a lot of pictures posted with this post and if there are not, message me and I will put them up.

"theres always something in the way, theres always something getting through, its not me, it you, and sometimes ignorance reveals truth"

I was driving home and I saw this newish looking Zx14 and for the people that dont know, its beasically a Hyabusa killer. Its one of the fastest production bikes made. So this guy pulls up next to me to the left and we had been on 290 for almost 10 min or so in decent traffic going about 75-80 together. Ill let you make up your own mind

We both turned together and turns out he was going to the lifetime fitness to exercise. Now in the event of a low slide or even a high slide or a huge rock, a big chunk of skin is just asking to come off. This guy literally had on nothing. Those shorts are nylon too and if you are going to ride your bike with no shirt off to go work out, then are you going to work out with no shirt off? Cuz im pretty sure that lifetime fitness has a clothing policy. There are some dumb people on the road.

Another thing is this, I randomly found a picture from high school of the JETS team.

There are a lot of people in the picture.

the greatest coffee maker in the world

2006-07-19T10:25:00.000-05:00

So i need a break and so I walked around to find the break room. Not just out ordinary break room but the really nice break room for the entire Crowe staff. I see a little machine sitting peacefully on the table and I look at it and it seems to be a coffee maker. So i look at it and read some of the picture instructions and think to myself interesting. There is a little compartment in which tiny little coffee capsules go. Tiny coffee capsules your thinking, and how its possible, well it is. This is what it looks like.

I look to the left and there were tons of them. All stacked nice and neat into their specific flavor. There were exotic flavors like "french vanilla" "hazelnut" "butter toffee" "mudslide" and the list went on. click -> to see the rest http://www.keurig.com/aw/gj.html As you can tell I was really exicted about this entire coffee extravaganza.

It was now time to choose my flavor so i chose the french vanilla. Ive always been a fan of french vanilla so i thought that i cant go wrong. I pick up one of those capsule things and i look for where to put it. I find the little compartment and i think to myself if I have to open it or not. So right before Im about to open it i see the little picture that tells me that ll i have to do is put the capsule in the compartment. THATS IT. So i opened the compartment and dropped in the capsule and hit the greeen button and VOILA. A very delicious and tasty Frech Vanilla. I was exstatic. This has been the best coffee day of my life. I want one of these machines everywhere i go.

"all lives were cold as grey, we couldnt speak of this anyways, save me because im swallowed by the guilt of this"

A long long weekend it was. Went to bed at 6 or so on friday and then on saturday ended up sleepin around 4. Friday night our crew came down to rooney's house and drank all night and played taboo and just chilled. Woke up around 2pm on saturday and just relaxed all day and then ended up going to a dinner and then also went to rooney's house again afterwards. I got someone to come out for the first time, and Im hopin she had fun, dunno. But the night was fun. We ended up playin kings/circle of death and drank and then went to international house of pancakes afterwards. Then on sunday, i went to the mall and spent over 300 on dress clothes and the like because i need to start "collecting" so to speak.

So ive been thinking for the past week or so lately about what i want. Not necessarily in the girl deptartment but in the future department and other general things. Ive realized that i dont know what i want in a significant anymore. I thought i did, and i was very sure of it, yet i cant pull togethere and decide. I think i want too much out of just one single person. The thing is, i dont want to settle because i never have and i believe thats a bad habit because you will end up settling for everything and never really go after what you want or even yet what you deserve. It wierd watching the interection of two people who dont really know each other yet both urn to know more but both sides dont know the next step and both sides are afraid to make that leap that could eventually lead to everything you want or lead to you learning what you dont want. I am a firm believer of the taking chances and lately i have been meeting many who arent who are part of the latter. They dont want to take those chances and they want to stick to what they know. Personally, i want to take chances because either way i will experience something new and eventually learn something new about a said thing. Granted this is a road with a lot of bumps but in the end, I will know that i took a chance on everything i wanted. I dont want to sit back and watch as other people grasping their lives and taking full control. Think when you were a kid again and you had that first crush that you would die for a kiss from. "In those childish lips, they would die for just that first kiss." I got that quote from a book of mine. But that is sort of the feeling of people who want more in their lives. Its those small joys that make you smile a little of and a little twinkle in the eye. One thing I have definetly learnt is this- > its very hard for people to overcome fears. I have some fears that ive pushed down and hope to never see again, but that could be said for everyone.

I got work again in the mornin and we will see when i actually leave for Ohio. My schedule got changed a little.

"make it a secret known to your closest friends"

So that guy that said that brigning down iraq would bring peace in the middle east, is a dumbass. I have a feeling that world war 3 is going to break out soon. I also think that within the next 2 years, the entirety knows as the Gaza Strip will jsut be a long strip of emptiness. Granted it is an area with one of the highest population densities in the world, there is a certain fear to know that a nuke or just a simple bomb could affect so many people because of the density. Also, the US is stupid for tryign to get others in its "ban" for North Korean missle testing. The last missle that they tested failed anyways and plus this is going to bring in lots of countries that dont want to be affiliated with us. NK should be left alone. They have no reason to use the missle and it is very hypocritical to say to them that they cannot have their weapons because they are irresponsible with them, while we are in iraq missusing our weapons. The country is filled with hypocrites and the biggest ones are the people that get elected for government positions. Funny how that works out. Quick shout out to PAT,- > Barrack Obama is the man, and the way he is so well versed and just knows his shit is awesome and more politicians and people in office should strive to be like him or at least try to understand his point of views on situation. Im too tired to keep typing.

retard=Sen. Ted Stevens

2006-07-12T23:44:00.000-05:00

"we lived like giants, in the back of my gray subcompact, strugling to make contact"

If any of you caught his speech or even the exceprts of the speech you will know what im talking about. For the ones that dont know, google it and read the article.
1. "the internet is a series of tubes it is not a truck and those tubes can be filled" WTF?
2. "When you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material" - WRONG DUMBASS, the internet is not a fucking queue as your view it, there are tons of lines if you want to think about it that way, and the only reason its slow, is becuase of the old people around you, looking up healthcare and drugs like viagraa
3. Stevens claims that it took him 5 days to get an email due to internet congestion—no doubt caused by all these commercial download services clogging the internet pipes with their infernal video (and not paying their fair share).

he is the senator of alaska. Why the hell is an old man from alaska who has prolly used the internet twice in his life, one to sign up for medicare and one to order precription drugs, qualified to talk about such an important topic as net neutrality? BECAUSE THE SENATE IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE FILLED WITH BULLSHIT. NONE OF THEM KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I think we need to add some youth to the senate or at least make the youth participate more in senate hearings so they can offer their opinions. The fucking old senators are going to fuck up the internet for the rest of us and then they will die and never have to suffer like the rest of the normal world will. A lot of the senators prolly dont even own a computer. THey got a laptop from the government and they can barely turn it on. On such a topic as net neutrality why did they not even bother to do reasearch on what the public view or even at least ask a network techie how the internet works. Hell, even call me up and ask me and i will tell you exactly how it works and how your e-mail was late becuase you were trying to spend 2 days looking for where you left your laptop and then another 3 days trying to sign on because you forgot your password which is prolly something so simple as to the name of your significant other cuz everything else is too hard to remember. I believe no one in the Senate does any reasearch before opening their mouths and it seems especially lately that everyone in senate in incompetant at their jobs. They are all idiots who should live on minimum wage. They are getting paid a shit load to do whatever and say whatever they please. It kinda makes me want to run for an office in my latter years just so i can show people how paying attention to your peers and logical thinking can go far these days. Next up is a 60 year old senator from Kansas saying that boat harbors and fishing are bad for the economy and how they are increasing the water pollution.

2006-07-12T01:27:00.000-05:00

"enjoy the life you lead, for it is different than the one you percieve"

so one thing learnt about my co-workers today, they like to get drunk and on company money which is sweet. All the people i interact with are awesome and they all like to go out and have a good time and so on. This is going to be a sweet job i think. My working "buddy" is the guy i go to ask questions and so forth is awesome, and we are gonna go out on a night in the city later on and get shitfaced. Then my direct senior level manager loves my favorite drink which not many people like. TOM COLLINS. We had a little talk about how we like it and no one else does and how gin is good and how we should go to lunch more often and go to dinners and such. SWEETNESS. Then my schedulers who book my appointments are hot. ANd they are cool as hell. THey are easy to talk to and we have a lot in common and i think ill prolly end up getting drunk with them too. If theres one thing I learnt from our course today called "Consulting 101" im gonna be eating at nice places a lot and drinking a lot with clients and making them happy. THis is gonna be fun hopefully. I got 2 jobs scheduled already, one in New Hampshire and one in Alabama. THis is just the first couple jobs ill be involved in and i am looking forward to a lot more in florida and the midwest and even my favorite place in the world, CALIFORNIA. Now its time to go to sleep to wake up in 5 hours.

crashing through the life,
that preceeds me,
and into the depths,
or what lies ahead,
adulthood as its known,

so ive spent a good ammount of time filling out all of my paperwork for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the start of my adult life. I will no longer be a kid, and must somehow maintain to be a kid on the inside and still manage to get drunk when i please and so forth. Before I know it, I will be married and have kids and have a house and drive a minivan ( i already do that, but no longer a problem anymore ). One thing i noticed lately has been my tolerance. I havnt been drinking as much as i did in college and lately it hasnt gotten much to get me tipsy lately cuz i havnt been keepin up pace. But thats alright, cuz its cheaper. Now its time to iron my clothes. I went bowling today too, and i got 4 strikes in a row, thats the most in a row ive ever gotten and i ended up with a 184. Lately as of this summer my all around average is 150 or so. I think thats pretty good.

"slip outside to the eye of your mind, dont think you might find, a better place"

answer to the that is i wish,

but 2 things today, its a day filled with bad timing and filled with authority.

On the way to lunch with banzon at the bamboo garden, we saw a Z28 camaro police interceptor that pulled over an ice cream truck. I have the picture to prove and until i find a way to take it off my camera, you must wait. The ice cream truck was kinda shady looking too. THat and it was also the first one that i have seen in my neighborhood. Then on the way to fox and hound we see a car in the parking lot getting repossesed. The tow truck was a repo man and found this guys car at the bar and was towing it while im guessing the guy was in the bar clueless. Sux to be that guy. This entire time, i dont have a car. That is another story as to why. So im there and im trying to convince everyone to go to downtown but it was already too late. I wanted to meet up with monica, isaac and pam who were already downtown, cuz the other plans to meet up with ramya and amitha and everyone got foiled. So im at fox and hound again, and on the way out we go to what other than taco bell. Get a ton of food and on the way home, get pulled over. The cop was hiding and used a laser unit on us. THat FUCKER. I wasnt driving but arun was so he got a ticket. Every two years in the same month, me and him have been getting tickets on the dot. Its a wierd coinsidence. THat makes the count of authorities 3 now. ALso im really pissed cuz the car that i was going to go and buy today got sold the exact same day in like 1 hour. I have been having the worst luck as of late in almost every adventure that i have taken up. But hopefully something will come along soon and change that if it can. Im too tired to type out the rest of my thoughts right now, so ill just go to sleep and type tomorrow.

in pursuit of something trivial

2006-07-06T20:47:00.000-05:00

"this is the moment that you know, that your told her that you loved her but you dont, touch her skin, and then you think, she is beuatiful but you dont mean a thing to me"

so i spent 1 hour on my roof today fixing my damn satellite dish. The dumbest policy i ran accorss is from Dish Network. Im payin around $60 a month to get a lot of channels including one international one. Lately i have been recieving only 4 channels. SunTv ( for the rents ), TBS, comedy central, and VH1. Now for all of you people that have been watching VH1 lately, they would know that during the days they play a marathon of "the fabulous life of" . By now, im an expert at that material. I sit at home bored out of my damn mind, watchin VH1 all day, why you may ask, becuse comedy centrals good shows come after 7. During the day, comedy central plays a very shitty show called MADTV all fucking day. I only have to put up with Vh1 for 2 more days. So currently i am paying $60 a month for 4 channels. I called up those assholes at Dish Network to have them come fix my shit, and they have the nerve to want to charge me more money to fix it. It going to cost another $100 for just having the service call processed and having the guy come out to my house. Or, i can start payin 5 extra dollars a month and end up paying $30 for him to fix my shit. Burn in hell Dish Network.

I start my 8-5 on monday which will officially mean the end of boredom and my life as i know it. Granted im still gonna go out every weekend and end up shitfaced somewhere, but on the bright side, i can do all that with a friend called "money." Something i have been lacking as of late. I am also in a connundrum as to what vehicle i am getting. Do i spend a lot and get a nice luzury car or a sports car or do i spend a little bit on a truck and buy the boat ive always wanted?

on behalf of the kiddie table, fuck the forks,

2006-07-06T00:04:00.000-05:00

"breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep, this air is damp"

so ive noticed that when i was yound i would always want to throw shit out, like plastic forks, and plastic accutraments in genreal. The older people get, the more "shit" they keep with them ive noticed. I dont know how this works or if this true, but its whats been going on. I hate having garbage around the house and i hate having things that are completely useless or things that oculd be bought. So i would like to throw them away. Parents on the other hand, want to keep them for future occasions. Intersting i believe. They will keep them for future things but never actaully use them. Just a random thought. There are still things in your parents basement that could be thrown away that they will never use and have no sentimental value what so ever.

doll me up

2006-07-05T21:23:00.000-05:00

"all the times that we shared, ive never been so scared, doll me up bad look, ill meet you there, i wish i never taken this dare, ive wasnt quite prepared, doll me up in my bad look, ill meet you there"

so i got drunk in front of my parents today. It was quite an experiance. I finished the bottle of wine that I bought for my dad because of his high cholestoral. A bottle of yellow tail, which i love btw. Ive been pissed off a lot lately and not necessarily at nayhint gin particular. Everything in general, and it weird cuz i think my lil sis feels the same way. I dunno why i feel this way. Maybe its a combination of me not being able to do what i please. not working yet, feeling like a bum, living at home, not having any money, not having my car, becoming a suit for life. I can think of more things, but nothing more that i want to type right now. There are a lot of thing taht are responsible for everytnhing right now. I just have to let things lide so to speak, and see where things go. This blows. I need to haev something to be responsbile for and untili do i will not feel like myself. I took a practive boating liscese today and without studying, i passed almost with 39 out of 75 questions. I think, that was pretty good for not studyin. I need a boat to get away from everything. That one thing i have realized lately. I have been doing things that could potenially help me get away from everytihing and everyone. Cuz that where i want to be right now. On a boat in lake Michigan with my close friends and a case of corona. What could be better than that yo u ask, and i will tell you havin a gf out there with all your buddies gf out there. Nothing can beat that. Right now im only 4500 dollars away from owing my own boat and $15.00 away from my boating lisecsce. Im going be "Captain Koushik" , and to all the people that nay say. Wait till im on my boat fuckers, haha.

Writings and reflections,

2006-07-03T14:26:00.000-05:00

"once upon a midnight derrier, i awoke with something in my head, couldnt escape the memory of what you said"

so i had a messed up dream last night. In home ec i sewed this black teddy bear as part of one of my projects. So im at some place, and one of my friends is my roommate and we are talking, and he tells me that he was cleaning things out and he found my old bear. SO i was like sweet. He showed me where it was and it was on the top of the closet. So i go to the closet and the bear starts talking to me in a creepy voice. So i was freaked out. At this time, my roomie is like, dude that bear is talking to you. SO i was like, yeah, yeah, it is talking to me, kinda wierd. So he leaves and its just me and the bear, and he starts telling me all of his life stories and about how hes been neglected for the past 4 years and how he needs attention again, and is tireed of being alone. Then he tells me all sorts of wierd stories while i sit there and listen to this bear talk. It was a very wierd ass dream.

ill have the roast duck, with the mango salsa

2006-06-29T13:59:00.000-05:00

all i got to say is damn, thats some good salsa. So its about an week and a half before i satart work, and im excited now. Im ready for this boredom to end. I need to work, and i need money.

learning to breathe

2006-06-27T23:46:00.000-05:00

"iv living again, awake and alive, im dying to breathe, beneath the thunder sky"

So i read this article today about the minimum wage increase being stopped. BULLSHIT. Those fuckers in congress are giving them selves an average of around 4k a year in salary hike which is stupid. THEY DO NOTHING. If you have ever watched a show on cnn or cnbc dealing with the congress or even just watching a hearing, you can clearly see that those retarted asswipes are asleep. Why the hell do they need more money when there are hard people working and trying to support their family. Many of them are on minimum wage and have to deal with the cost of gas and food constantly, and while those people are working their asses off trying to make something of themselves the fuck-tards at congress want a payraise while not giving the working men and women an increase. One retarted asshole ( from congress ) said that it would hurt small businesses around the country because they would be forced to pay their workers more. Now ask yourslef this, out of all the small businiess that you know, HOW MANY PAY MINIMUM WAGE. Many of the small business pay well, because thats the only way to compete with other business for employeess. The compnies that pay minimum wage are the clothing companies that are huge, and they dont care becuase one way or another they will make money. People in congress are straight up retarted. They are about to die anyways, so why the fuck do they need more money? Another fact, although kinda biased, but true, many of the children that come from these poverty areas where only one member of the family is working or the combined income is low, dont have the same oppurtunites as the rest of us. They dont have the money to be able to put forth their full potential and be all they want to be. They end up working at smaller stores, and then its a cycle because then their kids go through the same thing. WHy the hell do congress people, which by the way , they make around 160,000 a year. The difference between another 3,000 a year for them and another 70 cent hike a year for the working man is huge. People will have more money to spend on what matters, and that is our children. Congress blows their money on the stupidest shit possible, like the war, and the fight against "gay marriages" when there is a huge problem with education and problems with katrina and all sorts of other things. That is all, i can keep going and rant on about this subject, but i dont want to cuz it will last forever. Please make comments about this if you are reading.

"please take it easy, it cant all be my fault, i havnt made up half the mess theve expected so far,"

where do i start, it was a crazy weekend. Drinkin friday night, with everyone. THen saturday night at SOUNDBAR with VIP which was awesome. That was my first club. Im never been a fan of the club scene, more of the lounge scene. A place to relax, a good drink in your hand, and an attractive girl sitting right next to you. THat the perfect lounge. ANyways we get out at around 3 in the morning and drive home, and then pick up food too at the Dennys by my house and it tasted amazing. Everyone was inside eating except for arun because he wanted to sleep cuz he had bike class the next morning. So we all finish up our food and everything, and i go drop everyone off, and then head home to pass out on my bed instantly. THe next moring i wake up around 1 o 2 to find out that arun is about to go and take his test. So im on my way, and my aunt and mom wanna come too to see him take his test, so we all end up going to ECC and then it started raining. Well later that day, my sis needed to get home and so since she came here on the bus, and didnt want to take the bus back, I ENDED UP DRIVING HER ALL THE WAY TO URBANA. Then since i was close my anyways to my house in terre haute i decide to go there and pick up the rest of my things. Shoe organizer ( i have 14 pairs ) and also my matress ( o how i missed thee ) and my weights ( ive been missing these as well ) and i get to the haute, wake up katie, who comes in her pjs sort of, and i get a hug out of it, cuz she was f'ing tired, it was like 1am when i got there. THen Me and isaac start drinkin and talking bouit things after moving some shit in my van and then we start painting my room because i needed to. THen played beerpong minus the beer and substitute whiskey and coke for game 1 and jeagermiester and grnadine for game 2. That sucked a lot. But i won both games. THen i get in the corsica and i drive to taco bell only to find out that taco bellis closed. WTF, this has NEVER happened to us in 4 years of living there. No matter what time we went, TACO BELL WAS OPEN. oh well, so we get back in and BAM off to steak and shake and we sit inside and order and a bunch of catapulters (rose-hulman terminaology for prospective sutdents in high school sort of) show up, we try to mess with them and tell them that they need to get back, cuz its past curfue and other things cuz at this point it was seriously about 4ish. THen we get in the car and I decide to honk in the parking lot at the catapulters and my dumbass didnt see the 2 cops on the other side of the road at IHOP. Oh well, at this point i was sober after all the food and the 1 hour break. So, i turn and keep going and the cop passed me. There was another cop that ended up turning arouind and chasing after me to to pull me over and give me a bullshit citation for driving w/ exired registration. This cop was a straight up dumbass. Wierd part is, and i kidd you not, i was thinking " man ive never gotten pulled over in terre haute in 4 years there " on the drive between urbana and terre haute. just my luck. oh well, isaac if your reading this, find the registration soon, or get another one, SOON, then at 8am in the morning, i wake up feeling like shit, ( so im on 3 hours of sleep ) and go to the courthouse to see if we can throw the citation away and cant, unless we show her the registration for the car and then she will, oh well, so we go back, and i instantly pass out again, and around 10 i wake up, and drive my ass back to chichago. that suxked a lot . I get back, take a long shower, brush my teeth and do my moring routine at around 2pm. Then to move everything from my van to the house again. GOD DAMMIT. so i finish that and then stay up for a bit and eat, and say goodbye to my aunt who left for india today. Then she left, and my parents left, and i pass out in my bed for a good 3 hours , and then i ate again, and i thought to myself, i need to blog this, hahahha, get it "blogthis" some of you will get that, other will not, i cant help that

this has to be said, so i can remember it while it is still in my head,

so we are all VIP at soundbar, and amish patels GF is there, and i wasnt very fond of that kid and vice versa, so i start hittin on her cuz she is decently attractive, and two minutes later, her lackey or "sidekick" comes in the way, ( a guy by the way ) and says, you shouldnt talk to her, and im like, why not, and hes like, shes with someone so i say, then let her make up her fucking mind, and then he says again adamently, "dude dont be talking to her" , now he must of been really insecure to tell me that bullshit and must of thought that i was a threat of some kind to his friends girl, and you know i was kinda flattered that he said that, but wtf, why cant people let people make up their own fucking mind about things, just becuase you feel a certain way doesnt mean that the others do too, and in this case, who knows, that guy was worrying for a reason, and from a third point perspective, he came in at the right time, and im glad amish wasnt there, cuz he wouldnt of liked what he would of seen,

advice - guys, go out and protect your girl, but let them make up their own damn mind about things, and dont, ever decide for them unless they want you to.

there will be more posted in the morning, im just really tired and sleepy as _______ ( fill in the blank with something sleepy )

night

"oh oh oh, wont you carry me home, this is the last we have, to know that we are alive"

so, day started out alright, plans got cancelled on both parties, btw i hate contracters, cuz they always come at a time other than what was agreed. Somehow he had the nerve to call and tell me that there was someone on priority so he had to move my appointment up a little. Oh well, things worked out. After that i went bowlin with Chetan and after losing 3 consecutive times, i got my groove back. Thats right, im back, at least in the sencse of bowling. Lost the first game by 1 fucking point, oh well. He was doing good, so i cant really complain, jsut be bitter for a bit. So then i consumed all my energy and changed my stance and BAM, mr. bowler is back. I got a 159 and then a 191, which btw is 1 point lower than my all time high score which for some dumb reason i still keep in my wallet. Went to chinese after that cuz chetan was cravin some lo mein, and then i got some vege rolls which were disgusting so i didnt even finish them. Now ordinarily sweet and sour sauce ( the chinese version, not the indian version ) makes ANYthing taste good, well for my own fucking luck today, it didnt. The vege rolls were bad even with the abundance of sweet and sour sauce put on it. Picked up the mommers after that and dropped off chadiwalla at work, and then head home, to try and watch "the greastest game ever played" with Shia Labouf, who BTW i like a lot. I thought HOLES was a good movie and fuck all those critics that think it wasnt. They are the same critics that game Tomb Raider 2 thumbs up. That was the most fucking retarded movie ever. Movies need to come out with substance, and make the viewer think about the characters and relate with them, and understand the intrecasies of the plots and story lines ( i know this beciase i am tryin to incorporate this into my own movie , due date -? when ever i finsih it ) . Back to the subject at hand though, meghal came over after his class, and we drank and watched the George Carlin special, which is one of my favs and then we started watching Lewis Black ( a god amongst men i believe ). Everyone needs to watch his special "RED, WHITE, and SCREWED" cuz he is jsut truely awesome in it. Then rooney and chiauhua show up, and bam, we got ourselves a night. We watched the stephen colbert special on the white house associates and it was aweosme, how the fuck did he get away with saying the shit that he said. Then eventually, el dorado (chetan ) shows up and we start playing kings and i noticed something. Everytime we draw an 8 or a 9, 8 meaning categories and 9 meaning rhyme time, he loses. No matter who it starts out with, it ends up with him losing, and drinking a vast ammount of alcohol, cuz usally the little man rule is in effect and he acts as though there is no little man the first time around, until we stop him after drinking what he needs to drink and reminding the rules of the gamel only to llow him to take the little man off of his glass, put him on the table gently , drink his drink, and then safely and surely, but him back on the drink. IT was a good night, and i didnt want to write this much, but my audience is actually building up again, so here goes. Oh by special request i almost forgot. People have been wondering how and when i got my SN - "turbowriterrw" well, people of all ages and demographies, i will enlighten y'all. I was about 11 maybe 10, and our family got a computer and me as a little indian boy wa sfascinated and needed to know how everything worked. So i got into AOL progs and server rooms and started downloading pirated music at the prescious age of 11 ( or 10, im still unsure) but then i realized that people want to listen to this in their cars and other places, and i needed more room to store all my music. SO i went out and got a cd-writer produced by "Smart and Friendly" which is actuallt bought out by Ricoh now and somehow, Ricoh got bought out too recently. But on the box of the cd writer was a special name, boys and girls, and it was " turbowriter-rw". The rw at the end meant that it could write rewritables too. Well that day, i got bored and i hated AOL with all my heart but i liked aim, so i made my self a screen name as i like to call it, as does the rest of the world. I looked around for a name, and BAM, there it was, how about "turbowriterrw", i entered it in, to see if anyone else already used it, and voila, no one else. So since that day, my screen nme has been "turbowriterrw" for aim and i hope that it will always be that way. I have other screen names but those are not meant to be dicussed in public. Think of it as part of the NOC list. So that is my screen name story and i hope that you have been entertained by it, and you enjoy a night filled with dreams of alcohol and cd-writers, and music, and chetan (heheh) and whatever else i discussed today. I bid you adiou, and good night.
