Updating has been difficult lately. Mostly because I've moved! I'm now about 5 blocks further away from the hosue I grew up in. Every year I seem to go 5 more blocks down 8th ave.Getting all of our stuff into this new house was a chore. Andrew and myself have just a tad too many things to throw in a bag and deliver to a new homestead. It would have been an impossible task if it weren't for a few friends who showed up in the nick of time to lend …
Rummaging though some old files I had left at my Godfather's house (a former residence) I found what was left of my Father's educational folders from my childhood. Why I have these files is beyond me, they seem like something that should belong in a baby book, like it's something my parents should have held onto, or silently discarded. When it was thrust upon me a few years ago I had no idea what to do with it, so it got stuck in a cabinet only t…
I love her so much, its good to have her as a mother. =)
I used to hate Kings Highway. It runs from roughly north/south on the east side of brooklyn and swerves left and right, up and down, and grows from 2 lanes to 6 and back again. It just got in the way most of my life. But now I've got a job on it and can't imagine how much of a pain getting around would be with out it.
I popped a tire a while back driving on it. You see... the problem was I had never driven on it during the day time.
Anyway, it ra…
I've got 5 computers that have to be on and chugging tonight to finish a job. The hum is defining. I'm only doing this work for a friend, but one day I'll need to make sure my office isn't next to my bedroom.
This little setup lets this desktop get on the wireless network through the laptop. The whole thing is setup in my sink because my bedroom (still unfinished) and my kitchen are the only rooms of my apartment that I've gotten to clean proper…
So I finish this big fight with my brother. It was needless and fruitless and it drove me nuts. The cause of all the madness, me trying to help my father.
Go figure.
So I did some good stuff today to unwind. I got to hang out with a very good friend of mine and watch Being John Malkovich.. the kind of friend who I haven't seen enough of and I'd like to see more of. I did some work in the morning and got most of my domains straightened out. I had …
I'm sitting on my porch with the two good cats. I'm going over mail and BOOM! Some engine starts and sends all the geese, and baby ducks wild! (Yes we now have at least one family of baby ducks!)
I'm going to try and find the ducklings tomorrow and take pictures.

I got a Toaster Oven for $5 at the Goodwill store. I don't know if everyone knows this but I've been wanted a toaster oven for a long time. Its like an oven with the convenience of a toaster. I can now make my toasted sandwiches with out having to heat up an entire oven!
Its like this one but has one dial for time and nothing else.
And while I may be pleased as punch I'm not quite as proud as this lady.

Well our fucking landlord wanted to up the rent to $360 per person (didn't matter who was living there). With the same for the security deposit. If he didn't want us living there he should have said something and not pulled this bull shit. Tomorrow I'm going to see if there are offices I can visit to make sure I got all the facts strait. But to be honest I'm going there because he's not treating us like tenants, he's treating us like children.
I …
So I had to park in a spot between two Suv's one of which had a ticket on it (for not moving during the alternate side parking I'd suspect). The spot was tiny and I bumped both suv's multiple times and even tried to move the one behind my car. (Thank god his bumper met my bumper instead of my taillights.) As I was parking all I could think of was my friend Matt telling me that in New Jersey people would pass a spot if there wasn't adequate cleara…
"Also, I was standing in Target today and I almost started shooting people, but then I remembered I was real." - In reference to playing to much GTA: Vice City on Thinkless.org
I used to play GTA3 all day and then when driving on the road I'd size up Ambulances and Fire Trucks. To be honest it was kind of creepy.
On a slightly related topic I had an awesome dream where I had to fight some guy and his shadow with my sword so I could get my shield …
I had a good weekend hanging out with bill and his girlfriend. (Sarah too) I had never met her before but I told him that I approve. (I do.)
The next day I spent with Rowan University. I had a bad time and I didn't even finish everything that I needed to do. So I left and I have to finish the rest by phone or internet. I was also denied a loan for next semester and had to beg the head of Mathematics to let me retake calc again (as I got a D this …
I was in New York this weekend. I've got a bunch to say but I'll do it later.
For now just know that I got a new pair of shoes and that they came with a free dictionary. Gotta love New York. Oh and got to love Poky too.

A little known blog has popped up run by the people in my apartment.
I would like to point out my post.
Tomacco, You know the half tomato half tobacco plant from the Simpsons? Yea, its real now.
Don't forget your bling bling.

And last but not least.
One man's interesting presentation on his trip to New York
I have to say not living in New York City has made it a lot more interesting.

Sarah and I took a trip to New York a few weekends ago. She got to see my house, meet my dad, Jenny, and we took my brother Nick down back with us. I'll have photos later tonight. For now Enjoy the movie.
