tonight i, found: a ticket stub of great importance at least as far as sentimentality goes a number of a greek crazy metalhead who I was supposed to inform of a show/party that happened 10 months ago a letter camouflaged as a piece of crap on my floor(very clever to that person so much that rather throwing it away i might just hold them to what it says) a business card for a place that had we lived a few miles north would have been our train stations and madaba all in one , which it was for a coworker of mine and she mentioned that to me today lost: for the first time in months with money that was all mine at in a night of poker was able to sleep fully into a sunday morning, and was overcome with: an intensly strong desire to hang out with colin(in direct regards to which , I owe you colinhagendorfatrophy, a copy of "going after cacciato" and a discussion of many things). bam Current Mood: awesome | | Thursday, March 17th, 2005 | | 10:03 am |
The crocuses were up 2 days ago. The german sheperd that used to scare the crap out of me is dead and gone. I only just realized this yesterday when in fact that dog has probably been dead for the better part of a decade and possibly half another one. Today I went to Lofaro's and Tony is trying to sell the building. He's been there for over 60 years and I guess when he passes or retires (which at this point i doubt he ever will) there will be no one to carry it on, there is not much of a market for an old school barbershop anymore. Who knows what it will be. After Lofaro's there is Oliver's but I'd say Oliver is just as old. And to be honest I never felt right going in there, it was only once or twice when Tony was closed but it felt like I was commiting old school barber treason. Bob's laundromat is a french bistro and wine bar because well Bob is long dead and he made the place, the flower shop is an art gallery, Isabel's is an Italian restaurant. and this one has been so for a long time but the bookstore well its no more. More and more of late the lack of an independent bookstore has been something I've thought about. How do you gentrify a suburb? Where's Tarrytown?

Anybody know how to avoid the new drug tests that require a cheek scrape? I need one for my job , but I don't know how far back they stretch and I have doubts about passing | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2005 | | 6:07 am |
New years day had been spent drinking with andrew, brian , and dom at Alli's house and was going to finish at abes house before he left again for the great white north. But I bought a six pack of barley wine as we were leaving williamsburg and that on top of a bad pint, whiskey, and like a pints worth of bad champagne, well by the time I got home I was just passing out. So I figured I would rest , take a nap, people would call me and I'd wake up in time for Abe's party. Well I just woke up, with "Banned from the pubs"(filth version) stuck in my head for no real reason and my heart was beating like it was in my ear. Current Mood: pain | | Saturday, December 18th, 2004 | | 3:35 am |
I may end up spending all my money, but I'll still be alive
Tonight : I killed what appeared to be a hobo spider( help us all if it was hobo spider on this coast) , though it was probably just your standard hunter spider( it was actually a more crab shaped than fiddlebacked) I was in my house for no more than 5 minutes at a time until right now. I witnessed poor Will in our element( reason for the modifier poor) for the first time. I blasted my radio against my asshole upstairs neighbor(not much new, but I'm currently doing it now [how live of this livejournal?!]). I realized my neice elli is the cutest malevolent force I know. In similar news I'm voting for Samantha when she comes of age ( which at 7 she already knows). I bought her "Calvin and Hobbbes" as I felt was my avunclular duty. I hated most music for their inherent latentencies. I returned here and felt so inclined to update, the true assymetry of this night as compared to all others. I did not see Rudi or Denise, hopefully tomorrow, sorry(look above to lines 2 and 3). Oh and the the downstairs neighbors are upping their campaign to convert me, so I fucked with Bob by saying on Tuesday that " Oh its the last night of Hanukah , I'm going to my friend Abe's to kill Christian babies and run the world media, you know?" I think it had the desirable effect. Bam , theres that. Current Mood:  surprisingly good | | Saturday, December 11th, 2004 | | 10:46 pm |

My uncle Walter talks sort of like an Americanized version of the pikeys in snatch
Dom can support that. I work with a housepainter now, he is the above mentioned uncle. We finished a job in Irvington on Tuesday. The woman on the Yonkers job called Walter who then called me telling me that we are not needed tomorrow or Saturday. This is great because it allows me two things: to sleep late tomorrow, and to be able to do soemthing tomorrow night with no fear of saturday repercussions. These are good things, as I have just returned from drinking with Harrington and really don't want to wake up sick (I've been sick since about 1:30 am saturday night) and hung over at 7:45 to go rip wallpaper and paint walls tommorrow, and I can actually make something of tomorrow. I have not seen many people in a quite a time. So I actaully should try to do something, I'm a bit out of loops as it were. Current Mood: so it goes | | Wednesday, November 17th, 2004 | | 11:58 pm |
All generally unrelated to each other
Binghamton was good. Dom, I've said this before( as have you) but there is no reason not to say it again: we need to bust out homey. The great north awaits in approximately 6 hours Current Mood: garrulous | | Tuesday, November 2nd, 2004 | | 12:15 am |
Tonight I was totally awesome/ a douche/justified in taking a "tariff" of whiskey from a drunk girl who didn't know when to shut up. Sunday was sickly. Saturday was rock and roll, Colin , Alana, Rudi , Denise, Brian and Bill Florio in combination made it the night. Friday I have honestly forgotten. Tonight everyone went in too early though I guess I can understand why. And so ends an exhaustive and in depth update. | | Wednesday, October 20th, 2004 | | 4:00 am |
Because "Choogling" is an awesome word
Dan and I just drank 40s and whiskey on the playground of our old Kindergarten school, speaking of which my neice Eleanor turns 5 tomorrow, and is in Kindergarten. She is very excited;she was excited on October 1st because, "Its October now, so my birthday is soon". Back to the first subject Dan and I drunkenly completed each others sentence whilst pissing, "You know a piss is good and or drunk when... you end up making sex noises on account of that simple act of expulsion". At his house he proceeded to puke so loudly I could hear it a floor away and to then some how drunkenly hustle an online pool game, even though he was drunk/tired to the point of passing out and hitting the wrong buttons. And, completely different, Dom when shoud we come down there? And different again, Halloween is soon isn't it? Current Mood:  drunk | | Friday, October 15th, 2004 | | 2:52 pm |
Old american folklore says that August 1st is the worst day to start anything, especially a journey
I don't update often nor even feel the need to most times but for about the past week or so I had been meaning to, just because , well because I was. Dom's entry was the entry I had meant to write and so upon seeing it I could only say yeah.Then Laura had the same effect from Dom's entry as evidenced by her own and that only made my nostalgia even worse like the two of them were amplifying it. I talked to Dom today about this , mainly the question of "What happened?". Then we talked to about Kick me and he reminded me of our 7 signs(involving relationships) of the end of the world as we saw it. These were at that time: Dan not caring about sex(at least in the beginning with Lana it seemed so) Abe being happy Dom having a girlfriend Alex not being in a longterm relationship(and finally not caring too much about that) Mike only wanting one girl and the two unfulfilled ones: that Pat(Reilly) would show even the slightest desire for anyone(although Dom and I had seen this, no one believed it) and that I would settle down and stop being so damn timid/indecisive/self destructive with girls , particularly with Blair. Well within a year Dan and Lana no longer appeared so storybook to the rest of us and broke up after about 14 months or so(give a margin of+-3) , Alex got involved with Lauren, Mike and Rebecca ended in a fashion I can really only expect from Mike, I ended up actually going without blair although surprise surprise we saw each other less times than I can count on both hands, I hadn't changed in timidity and finally the end of that era, Pat the most unlikely of the signs was realized , and with it went the happiness of Abe. But yeah like Dom was saying remember when I was a huge stoner, when Dom, Bryan and I had carte blanche in health making it actually a fun class, when something like that could even have bearing, when we would easily walk the trip from Dan's house to Punk Haus 3 times a day at least and without complaint , the only reason we wanted a car was for the furniture but we still ran down the track with armchairs and sofas on our backs, when alex had that weird thing with leah, when kick me and fallout were going to fight, when for some reason suction duck graffiti made us so mad, when in junior year every friday consisted of me and Dom going to film and then waiting at the train station and finally when this keyboard on this very desk would still only two years ago have been a smith-corona typewriter. Oh and even bigger than nostalgia tripping is the mindfuck that comes out of looking at Richie , he's a junior now, is he rocking out the way we were , is he with a girlfriend he doesn't realize how he'll appreciate later on, is he drunk in the woods. Well I didn't satisyfy myself with that the way I had wanted to or feel that I adequately said what I wanted but the overall frustration we all seem to be having causing this nostalgia, it shard to put a finger on its real cause or on a real solution but because Dom has already said it best so I'll quote the lj comment he left about it "Dude I put up what I thought was a fairly eloquent paragraph about how you and I need some escapist driving and rocking and it told me that the database was being repaired or some shit. So it was deleted. So here it is. We need to bust out homey" Current Mood: what do you think | | Friday, October 8th, 2004 | | 5:59 pm |
PAYMENT INCLUDED!
If anyone could help tomorrow it would be really appreciated, extrememly appreciated. | | Wednesday, October 6th, 2004 | | 6:46 pm |
I just recieved a phone call from Klaus telling me that he needs me this weekend as the replacement just cancelled on him for this date. So I need someone to help me on saturday from about 6-10,(that is really not that bad a time window, I've been doing it through autumns for about 3 years now, and when have I been known to not be out on a weekend?) it includes monetary payment as well as credentials and experience if you care about that. I make this request this weekend mostly because I need a response and also because I know a bunch of people are going to be home on breaks from various schools this weekend. **So saturday at a time that is really only slightly inconvienent( especially considering most people dont really go about until 9-10 anyway), **with some money **for these people: http://www.friendsofmusicconcerts.org/10_9_04%20Program.htm The work involves lighting, moderate light design, and some simple sound stuff, its easy and you don't need experience | | Friday, September 24th, 2004 | | 11:36 pm |
I think the general theme of this post is appropriate with tomorrow being Yom Kippur
Rudi came by last night and I sat around. Then I woke up and my father was home from Arizonia. Lately everything has been laden with connections and references to something. Its like I have the phenomenon my oldest sister calls "air" for everything right now. For lack of a better word its like nostalgia except its not really. More than remembering when, I'm remembering(or in some instances just learning)why. Its not nearly as downing as remembering when can be. I have a thing about regret, that being that I don't really regret too much. I try not to, not in arrogance and ignorance of failings, but because I don't like to dwell or say sorry to myself. There have a been few times where its gotten the better of me, and of course it was over little things, like something Samantha said when we took her and Elli to that Mets game or cans of cream of leek and celery soup. And I started thinking about the major decisions of the past few years. And how I made some really great ones, but also how I made some really stupid ones, the stupidest of which unfortunately happened to negate some of the greater ones, making tham all the worse and earning them their superlative classifications. But for the most part its not bad at all, its like I'm looking through a textbook of my personal history , the more contemporary kind with the sidebar items taken from a different point of view. In fact at times its really good to remember not when I did things , but how and why i did them and it feels good, like remembering the actual emotion rather than remembering having a feeling but being unable to recall it and so just being bitter. One bad thing though has been my first Sleepy Hollow nightmare. Katie is a junior at Binghamton and she still gets them. It just consisted of a composite of my two lame social studies teachers in high school calling me and saying I'd missed the first 10 ten days of school to which I replied I don't go there anymore, no one in my class does, it'd be just be and I'm not even enrolled either.In nasty dream logic, although I was right they made me come up and started grilling me, it was like that scene in catch -22 where they interrogate the chaplain. On an aside, this summer Blair quoted a Bob Dylan lyric( as she is wont to do) while we were drinking without realizing how heavily imbued with pertinence to the current surroundings it was. When I called attention to this specifically to the action it mentioned, I did so be saying well it hasn't gotten to that yet but it undoubtedly will before too long. She then realized what she had implied and told me, "well when that lyric does apply , then we shall speak about it". And now that I think of it, i'm pretty sure that was the last time I saw her this summer. Well it has been more than applicable now for a little while so I've been wanting to talk to her about it. In a similar manner I've wanted to talk to Phil about stuff for about a week as well, in fact there have been a few people I've wanted to talk to again recently in person, because as my sister put it "aim is lame" like Laura, Sheena, Akira. And Dom and I have to get Matt really into driving to oberlin, so we can then just go there. I've been fairly reclusive of late so its getting about time to end that. The Nields are playing a series of shows in western mass. before Katryna Nields goes on a maternity break, so I am thinking I will be trying to go to one of those. And one last humorous note. My sister Katie always thought the line in jinx removing, "I love you more than I've ever loved
anyone before, or anyone to come," was "I love you more than I've ever loved anyone before, you really won the cup". She told me she heard it as winning the world cup of his heart. Which she thought was cooler and I kind of have to agree. I think I remember her saying she'd be flattered if someone told her she had won the world cup of his heart. Yeah so that is that. | | Tuesday, September 14th, 2004 | | 6:00 pm |
what are you doing this Saturday?
Huge fuck up earlier. I had edited out one part and ended up changing other parts unintentionally. So Colin was right about placement and agreement. Anyway the content is such: -party saturday -if you have a concern of travel(on god forbid an easily accesible commuter line for the majority of you with the distance concern)then there are other reasons/excuses that weekend to return and you can then think of the party as a fine period to whatever other events you were at. -in the midst of the jewish high holy days above evangelists(boudn to be soemthign worth remembering out of that -more later | | Saturday, September 11th, 2004 | | 9:55 pm |
DUDE!
Dom, I couldn't get in contact with you rightnow so I opted for this method but I just creamed my pants at soccer listings. You now know what I'm doing on tuesday and what you should be doing instead of class: PVS Eindehoven vs. Arsenal! | | Sunday, August 29th, 2004 | | 8:06 pm |
I got e-mail from Laino today, that certainly made this day. I got out of work but too late to do anything about it. I got little sleep last night just because of having to wake early. I got tipsy last night which alleviatedand/or justified the above. | | Sunday, August 15th, 2004 | | 2:08 pm |
So tomorrow is a day on which Akira and I both celebrate our births. So tonight the festivities begin, around 5pm to be exact, at Abe's house. He will have food, but bring beer and vegetarian/vegan alternatives because as most of you know, Abe's house does not provide many options for that. So tonight, starting around 5pm go to Abe's house, rock out, celebrate with us. Oh, and rumor has it that a certain surprise event may happen, involving 6 of the sexiest guys ever to come out westchester, so keep your eyes peeled. And as our actual birthday is tomorrow, and Laura's is Tuesday and she also wants to partake in the joint party, the partying will continue till Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Details as to where and when for those will come later, probably at Abe's house. |
