Cocaine Monkeys Die Harder

As a new school year begins (hopefully my last for the rest of my life) lets not forget others. Let's dedicate this year to "serving others."

So in the message of serving others with this coming Welcome Week upon us, so I post this.

"When people mix cocaine and alcohol consumption, they are compounding the danger each drug poses and unknowingly forming a complex chemical experiment within their bodies. NIDA-funded researchers have found that the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, that intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while potentially increasing the risk of sudden death." http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofacts/cocaine.html

I just want you to know. I'm watching and listening and I will do what I need to. To protect the ones I love.

I am only frustrated with myself and my inability to turn my blogging into vlogging. I want to make more videos. Senseless humorous ones. Too bad all my video friends moved to LA and left me alone with a camera. I must break this spell and express myself through the visual art form which I claim to know. I met a guy named John. Young cat from Maryland who may be into video more then I. I need to call him.

New pictures of my room will be up soon. I think its pretty much done for now. Maybe missing a shawl here or there. Just need to hang my Spider Man movie poster.

Question. Anyone know anyone they trust who works or knows a lot about Credit Cards? I'm thinking about getting one for special purchases where they charge you extra for using your debit card and not a credit card. Let me know.

Once again I say. Some people shouldn't breed.

Sometimes I just want to be able to freeze time. Enough with these phone calls of bad news. "Let's wait and talk in person. I can't tell you now." Thanks for leaving me in the clouds wondering what the hell could of happened.

These days I'm working a lot. I'm learning, but still getting my ass kicked. Most of this stuff they don't teach you in college. The more and more I think about it I feel that 60% of your college is a system to rip you off. Don't get me wrong. Some professions you need to go to college, but I'm starting to feel that the practical ones or art related ones you don't really need too. A job or an apprenticeship would work better. I may look into changing the rules once I get to the top. Screw the system.

Ladies. I have a friend. Well maybe not a friend, but someone who I've gotten to know a little bit this past year. Its enough to say that I know her and I am beginning to understand her more. As a person. What to expect and where to not place my hope. Here is the issue. Why do girls love bad boys? Guys that treat them like jerks? It's amazing how far just lying and saying the things she wants to hear will get you. I try hard to do the right thing. Most of the time I fall short but the effort is usually rewarded. So how come Joe Blow who doesn't give a damn and holds enough common sense as 12 year old boy gets what I get. Sometimes more. I guess the best way to look at it is that their are fish who live in shallow waters. Though easily visible they do not keep you well fed.

Feeling like I'm drowning in it. I know its good for me. God, these days all I want is a cigarette.

Fantasy Football time. Wish me luck. Peace.

PS> So when does your relationship turn from being serious to serious. Real to real. Yeah the truth hurts but half the time you just need to forget and forgive.

I Am The Cricket King

So I moved into my new place. Oh. I'm excited. Its going to be an adventure says my Mom. Yes it is. I love the neighborhood. I'm still working on getting my room up to speed. Its dark and activates my allergies a little. Yeap! Going to require an air filter and dehumidifier. I'll make it work. Besides if you ask me the room is looking pretty pimp now. Thank you Ikea and thank you girl friend for your helpful tips. Now on to the good part! When we were first looking at this house I walked around the basement and found two Spider Crickets (aka Camel Back Crickets). At the lease signing I mentioned this to the Property Manager and asked for an exterminator. She claimed it cost too much and that I must be sure that there is an infestation. So she did nothing. A few weeks later I moved in. Not to my surprise. Turns out that I had three roommates. An infestation of little Black Centipedes, Spider Crickets and House Centipedes who eat Spider Crickets. Though all harmless (sort of since the House Centipede can bite) the Spider Crickets freaked me out. The walls of my room are stone and they blend in perfectly. You don't notice them until its too late. They jump like 3-4 feet in the air and are ugly. So for three days I killed them and slept on the futon in the center of my room. Then I called the Manager and demanded an exterminator. He finally showed up last Monday and did his thing. (What kind of exterminator can't tell the difference between a Silverfish and House Centipede?) Since then Kate and I have been finding numerous insects half dead crawling across the floor. Thanks to the can of Roach Kill, we've been helping them along to the after life. Lesson to be learn. If you see one bug that doesn't look like it should be there. Protest and make them spray the place before you move in. No matter what.

Another fun story. So I blacked out at the bar five Saturday nights ago and my boys carried me home. Well the following morning at Morty's Deli in Tenleytown I offered to pay for their meals. Which everyone was cool with. So the bill came out to be like $120 and the other guys who joined us for breakfast but missed out on the "black hawk down" paid for themselves. Seeing that we were a party of ten I assumed that gratuity had been factored and signed my half of the payment and split. Two days later looking up my bank records I find that my card was charged 25% more then it was supposed to be. That bastard charged my half of the payment his 18% of the total bill though...it was split between four people. SO two things! (1)Pay for your meals and drinks at restaurants with CASH. So when you leave with a receipt. Thats it. No more taking money from you. (2) I'm boycotting Morty's. Too bad cause I even liked the place and I know what you are thinking. Don't worry. He wasn't jewish.

Fantasy Football is coming up. I'm in two leagues. One is a Pi Kapp league which is always a good time. The second, my best friend and I set up so if you want in. Let me know.

Anybody have any PS2 games they don't want?

"Ex Mas Eve" by Vsevolod Horodyskyj would be a better film if it was a porn. The acting would be on key. Actually its not the acting's fault. Its the editor's fault. Learn how to pace a scene please. The cinematographer needs to go watch The Good The Bad and The Ugly again. This movie will help you understand when to use the close up. All in all. Not bad for a student film, but it does need more boyish humor. Oh and wtf is with the montage? It was also nice to see the Del Ray house. Oh the memories.

I hate mosquito bites. There are more of them at the new place and I blame it on the fact that we live closer to the zoo.

Well I'm broke broke. No money. Spent too much at Ikea and its cost a lot to rent a car and drive to NC to pick your girl friend up. At least its only 6 days until my next pay check. Keep smiling people.

Peace.

PS> I'm going to try out a new blogger website. Blogger.com! (Unless one of you people can give a good reason not too.) I've been using Xanga and Live Journal since my sophomore year in college. I think its time to move on to make it easier to post and focus more on my after college life. So here are the links to the blogs. If you don't agree with this YOU MUST PROTEST! Otherwise first say good bye to Live Journal and then Xanga.
