Saw
Now Playing: KNAC. COM
Went over to Fat Mike's tonight to watch the movie, "Saw"... Wasn't a bad movie, and wasn't something I'd watch again. I think it had been hyped up so much by friends that it let me down just a bit.

Anyway... had a very productive weekend. Base molding for the living room is done and shopping for Vermont is done. Alls I gotta do tommorrow is wait for Alicyn to get back from her job fair, do some laundry, and bake more cookies for the trip. Dam'n this week is going to drag out till Thursday.

Vermont
Now Playing: Black Lable Society - 1919 Eternal
I've been gearing up this weekend for my "yearly" trip to Vermont. Was such a great time last year... can only hope this one will top it. The snow conditions kinda blew turkey-nuts for boarding last year, but I think VT just got an ass-load of snow. We'll see.

In prep this year... Tim, Witmer, and myself decided to load up on the essentials. We spent way too much money on beer and food last year. This year it will be five 30 packs of beer, tons of lunch meat, and we have last years vouchers for unused lift time.... priceless. Just imagine paying $25.00 for an 18 pack of killer lite in VT.... yeah, you'd bring your own shit too.

Anyway... workin on the "Vermont Soundtrack"... total of about 8 cd's. Mix discs are a must on an 8 hour drive. Once you're in Jersey and Upstate NY.... you need something to keep you goin.

Cleaned some boxes out of my storage shed today....

I came across my old Nintendo NES system. The son of a bitch still works! Had to sit down and play a few games of Mario Bros.

I found a few classics on ebay tonight that I'll probably purchase.... Ghost's n Goblins, Castlevania, Commando, 1942, Gauntlet, and Exitebike.... Most were only a dollar for the asking, but will be welcomed additions to my NES collection.

Also.... made some purchases a few days ago on Amazon... for some reason I felt it was needed to update some of my old gangster rap collection that I currently own on tape. Purchased items were... Scarface- The World Is Yours, 2 Pac - Strictly 4 My NIGGAZ, Ice Cube - Amerikkkas Most Wanted, Casual - Fear Itself, Souls Of Mischief - 93 Till Infinity. Maybe too many late nights of playing GTA San Andreas brought me back to my college days of music.

Time for a new look and some new commentary on Last Call eh? Shut your faces... I've been busy alright?

Way too much has happened since my last post, so I'll just break it down in small daily doses so maybe my lack of posting will possibly gain reader respect again.

Much of my hiatus has been due to work on the hut and time with my girlfriend. The house is almost due for over-welcomed guests (such as my sister, Gary & Ein, Dad, and one hell of a I'M FUCKIN DONE! party). Those of you that get an invite for the "drink it if I built it party", ..... be prepared to eat mass quatities of pork, beef, chicken, meat by-products, and Miller Lite. All Elephant beverages will be consumed by Mr Perez and myself.

If you're reading this... just maybe you'll get an invite.

For A Good Time.....

For some reason bathroom humor completely amuses me. I mean, what else are you going to do while standing in front of a urinal in a craptacular dive-bar men's room? Of course you're going to read the writing on the wall.

It seems like bathroom graffiti is always broken down into 5 different groups.

Group 1: Poorly drawn genitalia or vulgar stick figures... this category is always sure to get a good chuckle out of me. Who wouldn't get a good laugh out of a pic of a poorly drawn stick figure with large boobs and a penis on fire?

Group 2: For a good time, call (some random number of a creeps ex-girlfriend).... does anyone ever call these?

Group 3: (insert first and last name here of someone) and add; is gay, or; loves the cock.... always written in different ink than the previous name above it. Classic.

Group 4: The poems....There once was a man named Piss Pot Pete, 90 pounds of swinging meat.... (you get the picture)

Group 5: Illegible tags or band logos. Yes.... we all know Slayer rules. You don't need to carry a red sharpie into the mens room of a hole-in-the-wall bar and draw a pentagram the size of a tractor tire on the wall and inform us that the Slaytanic Wheremacht ate your baby.

I think I might start a book of these findings.

Rock Star

I've been quite the slacker lately, and living it up like a rock star.

The last couple of weeks since New Years have seemed to be quite a blur. I've been taking some vacation days, going out a lot, and enjoying nice things.

Alicyn and I got treated to a night out this past weekend with a few friends in a limo. They went all out and payed extra to stay out till 4:00 am, dinner, and even a bottle of Dom... Too bad the couple that took us out ended up fighting (verbal) at the end of the night.
(By the way.... my review of Dom: tastes like over priced malt liquor that burns your nose when you take a sip... 12.5% alchohol by volume... way too expensive for cham-pag-na)

Had been living off of Christmas bonus and Chrismas present cash lately. Paid some important bills, bought a flat screen monitor for the puter, wireless mouse and keyboard, and lots of dinners with Alicyn. Most of it has been expended, but I'm ready for snowboard season now that it's cold.

Comming soon: My best albums of 2004 (to be posted on PRF I hope).

Happy New Year
Now Playing: Blade 2 (most kick ass movie in HD ever)
A lot has been going on since I last posted... hence the long lapse in substance.

I've been working on the house very hard lately and it seems that I'm getting very close to the end. Flooring is done in the living room, new widescreen tv is in place, new home theater is rocking the neighbor's window's, and my personal life has been outstanding.

Had a perfect new year's eve with my girlfriend, heard from my good friend Gary (yes I'll send you pics dude), and got to spend some time watching movies with my bud "fat Mike" and his wife to be today.

Remember this day, as I have nothing to bitch about.... all is well with me for now.

Cold Day
Now Playing: KNAC.com
Holy hell it was cold as balls today. I was awake @ 5:45 am this morning due to one of my "oh so considerate customers"... seems that when someone spends $20k with a company, they feel if all is not quite right, they can just call @ any time.

Only good thing to come out of getting up @ 5:45 this morning was that I got to eat breakfast. Had not one, but two, count em, two, sausage egg and cheese sandwich's.... hell yeah...sausage

Spent most of my day outdoors... with the winds, it felt like it was about 5 degrees outside here on the water. Tomorrow is going to be hell with the influx of calls I just know are going to come in... thank God I booked the schedule light for demand service.

It also felt cold on the personal level tonight with the lovely lady I've been seeing. We've been out quite a bit over the past few weeks, all has been well, until tonight. We met up after she got off work and had a few drinks. A friend of hers showed up really drunk, and happened to dominate most of the conversation all night. I got a very unwelcomed feeling from my girlfriend tonight, so I excused myself gracefully and headed home.

I was kind of upset and un-nerved all @ the same time because for one; I'm really into this girl, two; things had been going really well until this point.

Got home, and had been over-analyzing the situation... got a phone call from her... turns out she was concerned of what I would think of her because of her friends actions. She happened to really open up to me tonight and tell me how she truly feels. Turns out, I may have a keeper here.

What can I say that others haven't already said @ this point regarding "Dimebags" death? Nothing.

I'm truly sad that the metal legend is gone... (even though I trashed his choice in guitar reps)... I still loved the music he created, and the gateway he opened for other aspiring guitarists.

To keep it short and sweet... No point and time in my life will ever come close to the the things I experienced while listening to "Vulgar Display Of Power" during my High School times. Music has always made everything I've experienced a very memorable moment in time, but I seem to cherish those days the most.

If needed... you can read about the updated details here.

Epic Day
Now Playing: Atreyu - The Curse
What a day... I only use the word "epic" to describe the waves that OC was blessed with today.

2-3 foot over head swells with 50 mph off shore winds made for some pretty impressive surf today. I video taped some of the awesome-ness, but it dosen't do any justice. Just picture someone busting open a fire hydrant and and spraying it randomly 15 foot in the air. That's what the wind was doing today to the crest of the already massive waves we received.

I was roof-top planted most of the day... so I took a beating and I'm tired. Saw a few "soldiers" braving the surf today in hoods, gloves, and booties..... most of them got beat the fuck up.... but hey, at least they were out there.

Otherwise... I'm in great spirits. Won $75 bucks in poker tonight, jammin a great new CD, things are great with the girl of my dreams, and my Christmas bonus should be as heavy as a two year old's dirty diaper.....

"hello, North Pole"..... courtesey of "Fat Mike" @ lunch today. We were stuffing our faces with cheesesteak, and the phone was ringing where we were eating. They were playing some craptacular Christmas music. You had to be there. I almost choked... dude should be a comedian for a living... but then again, you'd have to know him for a year to get his humor.

I'm out... bedtime
