3:39 pm	Like we always do about this time..... That title comes from one of my favorite gangsta rap interludes from the Doggystyle LP (1993 in case you were wondering). Back when hip-hop was actually worth listening to..... Well, here's to almost a month of not writing in this thing, but its good to be back writing. Tough month too, as we've lost some good people including Rodney Dangerfield, Chris Reeve, former NL MVP Ken Caminiti and WWF's Big Bossman. All sad in their own right, especially when the latter two were both results of poor lifestyle choices. Both men were in their early forties and should not have ever gone so early. God bless all four men. In better news, life has been especially good to me over the last month, except for the fact that my maiden voyage into the OR for hernia surgery is imminent. The good news is that even when I'm pissing my pants about being operated on, I'm going to have people I care about all around me to help me through. Yeah, I know its nickels and dimes compared to what some people have been through, but I'm still scared. It was nice seeing everyone that I saw over Columbus Day weekend, and I'm hoping to see more this coming weekend. Cheap plug for my buddy Henselectomy on November 19, go see A Streetcar Named Desire at Siena cause he's playing the lead....this goes for all you hometowners, get off your asses and truck it up to Siena! Thats the news for now, rough week coming up but its good to have people that care during weeks like these. Hope y'all are doing great ans we'll c u soon. (Comment on this)

6:15 pm	Bouffet!!! Today was a momentous occasion as the boys and I headed off to engage in one of my favorite pasttimes of going to the Pizza Hut lunch buffet. Pathetic really, but after much hype and a name change to simply "Bouffet" by Justin Ligas, it was quite an exciting event. Top it off with the stipulation that the man to eat the most pizza gets to wear Dan's hardcore title for a week, and we had a friggin' great time. True to form and as expected, Dan poured a pizza and a half, 12 slices total, into his iron stomach. Andrew and I came in second at a pie a piece, with honorable mention going to Ligas for knocking off seven slices. Eight dollars and two trips to the bathroom later, I can look back and it was totally worth it. A good time that I can't wait for to happen again. In other news, the week from hell floats on as each day I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I bitched the Organic Chem test this morning and I've got two left, accompanied a shitload of preparation in store for each. Its moving fast though, and the feeling of this weekend coming up will make it all worth it. The impossible has happened in my life and I've managed to find a girl that actually likes to be around me just about everyday, so I'm happy to say we're together. This ends a dismal streak of almost eighteen months of living the single life, and thats a game I'm glad to be out of. Emma is wonderful and I can honestly say that right now I'm the happiest I have ever been. I'll leave you all with that, now its off to Evolution review. Gonna try and get in touch with some more people this coming week, hopefully y'all are having a great year. Until next time, adios. (Comment on this)

10:04 am	Just a quickie..... This week is my week of insanity for the month of September. 3 exams in 3 days plus a lab due today. Pretty intense. I gotta say I feel sorry for anyone that has to experience this at any time, because this kind of mental torture is shit that nobody deserves, I don't care who they are. Aside from all this, my fantasy football team is a force to be reckoned with at 2-0 to start the season. Add the pickup of Joey Harrington and a red hot Lions defense and all I really need now is another decent receiver to cover Keyshawn, Santana, and Stallworth's bye weeks. Everything was peaches until I found out Anquan Boldin is going to be out until late October at best. Oh well, maybe someone will get desperate and trade me a wideout for one of my backup RBs or something. Lets hope for a good week in both football and real life, as I'll need all the luck I can get with these exams and Santana Moss having the week off. Until next time I'll be studying hard, so enjoy your free time. (Comment on this)

11:11 am	Whooooo! Dan just sent me the funniest picture on the planet if you're a wrestling fan, which I admittedly am. Its a shot of Ric Flair on an airplane, and some creative license has been taken with the content of the picture to make it arguably the funniest picture I have ever seen. If you gotta see it, let me know and I can send it to you. It'll keep you laughing for quite awhile. Sure did with me. Aside from that, life is good. Come to find out that the man has stuck it to me again as next week I'm rewarded with three exams in three days. What makes it even better is the fact that three exams are for the only three classes I have that actually have tests in, so didn't I win the lottery this time. Friggin' bullshit is what that is. Add to that a debate on abortion on Monday and I've got my life packed in pretty tight next week. Until next time, stay sane and I'll try and do the same. Luckily I've got good people around me that I've been using frequently as my outlets for stress and anxiety. Later people. (Comment on this)

8:24 pm	The King Is Not Dead People have asked me what the best part of last night was. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the fact that I got to drink and have fun and chill with one very special person on a weeknight no less. No, not to diminish the meaning of all the above events, I did something far more fantastic last night. I met my very first Elvis look-a-like at Toucan's, the local chill-out-drink-smoke-sing-and dance bar. He had the hair, the build, the face, and the voice. God, did he have an outstanding voice....he sang some karaoke song with lots of "Hallelujahs" in it, so if you know a song by The King that sounds like that then thats probably the song he did. Quite a showman, just dripping with charisma. Not bad for a 43 year old single man. Later on I wound up talking to the guy for like 30 minutes, probably as a result of him coming over to the picnic table to take his best shots at a few college sophomore chicks. It was funny as shit, we were slapping hands, laughing, he even told me I had great sideburns. Elvis was a former Marist student, said he used to model for the fashion department and that I should try to do the same cause I've got the build and the face for it. Hey, if I can be half as good looking as The King of Rock and Roll, then I've got something going for me. In all seriousness though, last night was great, and I'm glad Emma dragged me out with her and her friends, cause at $3 a pitcher with good people, who wouldn't have fun? Sure did a good job at keeping me from being lonesome last night. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:06 pm	Another Saturday Night.... Little bit of Sam Cooke for ya. Entry #3, my own silly therapy session. Last night was easily one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. 3:30 in the morning and theres a girl looking straight out of the eighties outside my front door. Things had happened between the two of us in the past, but as of 24 hours ago, I would not talk to her and I had myself convinced I hated her guts. I didn't though. Its funny but when I was mad at her, I convinced myself that she was a lot of things that she really isn't. My friends all backed me in everything I thought, felt and did, and as a result I was even further convinced that I should/could never talk with her again. That all changed last night. I realized that even though shit happened, I can't cast someone asside that I truly care about. We talked things through, coming to the realization that at this point we have both moved on, I had just failed to take the initiative to make things right again up until last night. Glad I did now. Its hard to explain exactly what she means to me, but I think I can best sum it up as she is a wonderful person deep down and like I told her, she needs to be able to see that in herself like I see it in her. I wish her the best, and I'm glad we're talking again. Just goes to show you that between two people, communication can fix almost anything. Makes me a happy guy to know that it worked. Good night everyone, I'll talk to you all again this week. I'm working on about 3 solid hours of sleep and I could use a few extra tonight to catch up on what I lost last night. See you guys later.

1:45 pm	On the edge this is completely insane. if you're looking for a composition, a piece of literature, a story, then you better look elsewhere. this is a ran, free and void of thought or capital letters. i'm about to jump out of my skin and i don't even know why. get this: today is thursday, i'm probably the happiest i've been in at least a year and a half, and yet i'm completely inundated with insanity as my mind races from one thing to the next. i'd imagine this is what it would be like to be on speed, although i've never tried the stuff. i feel like i could get up and run ten miles without breaking a sweat and i have no idea why. yes i do. ethics this morning, got all worked up over Kantian respect. know what that says? means that according to this philosipher Kant, people are not to use others as a means to an end. in other words, it basically says that you shouldn't fuck someone else over for your own good. got me thinking. rewind to last night, sitting downstairs talking about our past with respect to the opposite sex. me justin and jay. talked an hour. now i got it cause i'm so pissed off right now at all the fuckers that have screwed me over, not that there's many, but learning about Kant and recalling that shit from last night got the wheels turning. there's a few, no doubt, but not many enough to get too pissed off about. no the real me, the me thats harder on himself than anyone else ever could be. what i'm really heated about is all the people i've fucked over in my life, and looking back on it there seems to be a long list of people that i feel that i've wronged. talk to anyone and they may say i'm a wonderful person, but i'm far from perfect and i have used people and made people feel like shit, and i've ignored people, and its wierd to look back and, knowing how i feel when thats done to me, how i feel since i've done it to others. its messed up, no doubt. so if you want a point or a message, the best you're gonna get out of this is that if i have made your life harder for the wrong reasons, i apologize. somewhere inside me i truly do feel ashamed for being such a dick to some people. ok i'm done now, and i feel better too. isn't that wonderful? have a nice day, and try to give a shit about how other people feel instead of just yourself. --This is not aimed at anyone inparticular, so don't read too far in. this is just me expressing my general disgust for the way people can be (Comment on this)

9:29 pm	Maiden Voyage And....we're back. Back again at school, and its good to be back up online. To celebrate, I opened a LiveJournal. You see, this really isn't a "me" thing to do, but consider this for just a second. Up to this point in my life, I've been a pretty closed up person about a lot of things, mostly personal and emotional. This past summer, I learned the value of having a true outlet to express myself. I learned the hard way that I had great friends, and that expression is one of the most therapeutic things a person can experience. So as a result, here we are. You wanna call me "emo", go ahead, I would have said the same thing three months ago. Its funny when you realize what great friends you have. Sure, these people live with you, they eat and drink and do tons of stupid things with you, but you really uncover their true value when the chips are down for you. Take for example an issue I had not too long ago. At this point, the incident is meaningless to rehash; it was the reaction of my friends that was truly important. These guys realized that I was upset, despite my best efforts to hide it. We talked things out for three hours, and they devoted the entire next day to trying to make me feel better. These three guys were unbelieveable for me, and in addition to helping me through a rough time, they helped me realize the value of having loving and caring people to help you out. I'm forever grateful for them, and they know that I'm there for them. So thats the reason I'm here. Feel free to check back every so often if you wanna see whats up with me. I know I'm a pain in the ass to get into contact with sometimes, but I'm gonna try to update this thing and check posts regularly. Maybe you'll learn something from me, and maybe I'll take something away from you. Either way, I can't lose. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all soon. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
