rough start

reposting my gChat with Boobrick because I don't feel like typing it all out again:

12:47 PM me: hey babe
rachelbobrick: hi hi, how are you?
me: alright
12:48 PM had a really rough morning
rachelbobrick: what happened?
12:49 PM me: well i left my friend alex's apartment at around 2am, my first bus was late so i missed my second bus to get back to my apt... and i was standing in the middle of Bed-Stuy which is a shit neighborhood... i didnt wanna stand out there for another half hour, so i get in a cab
i didnt have any cash so i was just gonna swipe my card...
so i get back to the apt, swipe my card, and it doesnt work... i swipe it like 30 times and nothing
rachelbobrick: oh dear
me: i have the cabbie drive me around the corner to go to an ATM so i try the ATM
doesnt work
rachelbobrick: WHAT
me: so i have to call jon at 3am, wake him up to have him come down and pay for my cab
so i felt like a complete asshole
12:50 PM so anyway, i sleep for 4 hours, get up to go to class, get on the subway at like 8:10
go 3 stops and they're like... ok end of the line
rachelbobrick: WHATTTTTTT?

me: so i have to transfer to the J train (get on going in the wrong direction for a stop) finally get to manhattan, and have to get off at brooklyn bridge
my school is like, on the hudson river
12:51 PM so i walk across the city, stop at mcdonalds to get breakfast and im like 10 minutes late for class... but my teacher was 20 minutes late


The moral of the story:
Sausage McMuffins make everything better

up to speed

So it happens out that a lot has happened since the last time I posted something in this blog. I guess I'll use this as an opportunity to catch you up on everything you missed:

So here's how the past 20 months played out:

Started temping, got a job, tried to lose weight, paid off my debts, started paying my own cell phone bill, got dicked around at work, hung out in Philly, bought a queen sized bed, visited to Chicago, moved to Crown Heights, continued to get dicked around at work, dressed as a LOLcat for Halloween, continued to hang out in Philly, gained weight, went to LA, turned 21, renewed lease on apartment in Crown Heights got threatened to be fired, looked for a new job, got a credit card, got threatened to be fired, got threatened to be promoted, got fired, continued looking for a new job, hung out in Philly more, started collecting unemployment, joined a gym, went on a lot of interviews, started going to community college, lost 15lbs, got a great haircut, got an internship, watched the Mets' hopes for the postseason shattered in the last game of the season...

and I think that about does it! There was much more getting dicked around at work than I put in there because I think it was starting to sound repetitive

It's been a fucking long time since I even thought about posting another entry in this blog. I tried tumblr for a few minutes but I guess I don't really 'get it'... I'd like to start vlogging (what an awful sounding word) but I need to get a much better lightbulb for my room (which I probably wont do until this one explodes).

Anyway, that's my story up to today. After a few months of nothingness, things have recently started looking up again... You usually hear the term 'when it rains it pours' associated with negative things... but for the past few months there was a hell of a lot of nothingness, and then out of the blue everything seemed to start coming together. Needless to day I'm optimistic about finally, completely,undeniably and reliably having my shit together by the end of 2008, and really looking forward to a complete year of shit togetherness in 2009.

I'll do my best to keep you posted, but I don't make promises because they always seem to get broken.
