Be a Man [Feb. 1st, 2005|01:41 pm]
[music |Madball - Set if Off]

    This is the livejournal of a soldier that returned from Iraq with a big mess full of pictures, regardless of your political standpoint on the war, SUCK IT UP AND LOOK AT EVERY ONE OF THESE PHOTOS BEFORE YOU MAKE A JUDGEMENT ON THE WAR.  I can honestly say that these are not biased to the left or anything like that, and that isn't what I am putting this here for.  Pages 1 and 2 are not really gory at all, but starting on page three is the disfigured bodies, and page four is children hurt in one way or another, which I found especially disturbing. 

This hasn't changed the way I feel about the war in any way, but I think that alot of people are way too quick and casual about what war is and what our soldiers are getting into.  That statement had never really rung a bell with me untill Glen went into the army, and after meeting Dan's Cousin, who is in Iraq right this very moment.  If you know someone who is thinking about joining the armed forces, do them a favor and show them this if only to let them know the reality of the situation. 

On that note, and I've said this exact same thing before, I am really, really glad that I am a civilian and in a safe place where I don't have to worry about things like living and dying.  I mean I went 18 years  without it ever crossing my mind, never been in a life and death situation.  And then in October I got to see how easy it is to lose your life, in that example in a situation where you were completley not at fault and helpless to defend yourself.  And then Glen came back telling me about training in Germany and being Deployed.  It's fucking ridiculous. I'm nervous about using the Deli Slicer at work, and Dan's cousin is now worried about driving through an ambush.  I've never even been out of the country before,  I can't in a million years imagine what it would be like to spend an hour in that scenario.  War sucks, even in WWII when it was completley neccessary, and instead of fighting in meager political squabbles, they were fighting Nazis, the people who would go down in history as universal scum.  It just seems like such a far cry from the life we all live here in the states.  How many other countries have never had a war fought on their ground?  It's been 150 years since an anrmy marched through Long Island -  the goddamn Civil War.

This just sucks. [Jan. 24th, 2005|02:04 pm]
I really hate saying it and feel guilty for even considering it, but I might have to just quit my job, because of school.  Well no, that really isn't fair.  If I quit, it would be because my managers don't listen to me and don't understand that I have other priorities.  I have class from 3:30 to 5 today, and untill a few minutes ago they wanted me to come in at four.  Even though I gave them my whole school schedule.   Their solution?  Now I am working 6pm to closing, which sucks worse than you can even imagine.  Closing means I punch out at 12 and have to stay cleaning up for about another hour and a half.  And then I have class at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

I can't really do that.  I need to have some time for myself, to sit on the computer and just waste time and relax.  This isn't a god damn career, it's a shit job to give me some gas money.  And today I am going to go in there and make sure that they don't schedule me for more than 4 hour shifts.

[music |Crime in Stereo - Amsterdamned!]

Alright, it's 8:30 in the fecking morning and I haven't been up this early in about six months.  I have my first class, Philosophy at 9:30 and what better way to waste time than to update this stupid piece of shit. 

It sounds bad but it isn't really, I already dropped my Biology class, because it is ridiculous and impossible for me if I want to keep a job, which I do.  See, when I made my schedule, the lady told me that I need 16 credits to be a full time student, which I assumed was neccessary for some reason.  And so I arbitrarily picked Biology, because I enjoyed it in High school.  And then she gives me the class times, and I new something was wrong.

For an example of how re-god-damn-diculous that class was, you have to look at my wednesday schedule.  Starting at 8am, Bio lab, followed up by a bio lab, followed up by a bio lecture, and then I have math.  Then I get a one hour break, and then I have english and philosophy.  That is straight classes from about 8am to 5pm.  Yeah.

So without biology on the list I am not only saving alot of money in lab fees, but I can keep working at Stop and Shop even though I hate it because they give me shitty hours and my coworkers are old ladies.

[music |Cliff's crazy metal band - that first song that goes DUN DUN]

Holy shit what a fucking day of work.  I get in there, a few minutes late but it's cool.  Busy as hell, sunday's suck like that.  I see Paul is doing register which is pretty rare, so I bag for him a little and talk, and I go and get my own register.  First goddamn customer, he swipes his card.

Waiting for Reply.


A few minutes pass, and we realize that every single EFT in the whole store isn't working.  That means that we cannot accept credit cards, debit cards, or checks.  The goddamn stop and shop official satellite is broken and now our store can't communicate with the banks and shit, it was goddamn mayhem.  And this one guy made a huge fucking deal and I wanted to choke his ass.  He writes a check even though I tell him he can't, and then he gets all flustered and mad at me, like it's my fault that every fucking stop and shop in the northeast is monetarily crippled.  He fucking rips the check out of my hand, tears it up, throws it onto the counter, and walks away screaming.  He takes the cart full of groceries that I rang up and bagged for him, pushes it right into the wall and walks out of the store.  What a fucking cunt.

What's  funny is that everything came back online about ten minutes after he left, and the customer after him happily paid with her credit card and was on her way. 

I am annoyed though, because today I wound up punching out an hour early.  My manager told me "okay, you can punch out", and I figured she was just letting me leave early, but I think now that she thought that was my time to leave anyway.  It was really dead in there, it was 8:30 on a sunday, standing around for an hour of time and a half pay would have been worth it.  oh well.

I took some Macro photos today, which came out really cool.  And I am not going to post them here because first of all no one reads this/cares, and second of all I found myself posting a few pictures in every entry and that isn't really what this journal is for.  What is it for, you ask? Shut the fuck up, asshole.  That's what it's for.

[music |NOFX - The Happy Guy]

Auggie put a head unit in his car today, I made sure we got a good brand.  I don't want this kid buying some JVC piece of garbage, he bought a Pioneer.  It's pretty nice, plays MP3 discs, the works. 

I'm getting sick of just writing about what I did during the day because I don't think anyone actually cares, since most of the people that read it were there anyway.  And I don't really have any clinging emotional issues that would make for good drama, either. 

So Devivo is mad at John because John woulden't get his Jacket from his neighbor's house.  And he's mad enough at John that he isn't talking to him and wants to fight him.  I don't get it either.  I think he is just looking for an excuse to be mad at John, or something.  I was thinking about it and I think at our age it is getting a little silly to want to fight each other for stupid things like that.  I mean there has to be a point where you be a grownup and let lame stuff like that go.  The only instances where I think fighting a friend would be understandable is like, getting you fired, breaking something expensive of yours, or insulting or being rude to your family or something along those lines.

Speaking of jobs, I think I am getting into the groove at Stop and Shop.  I don't mind the register at all, the time goes pretty quickly, and it's fun in a weird way.  It's good for me to have some kind of responsibility like that, even if I do fuck it up occasionally and blame it on one of the retarded kids that bag, there.

School Daze [Jan. 11th, 2005|05:33 pm]
[music |Registrar - Registrar - Registrar - Registrar]

So I registered for school and made my schedule today, and god is it ever intimidating.  Well, it woulden't be half as intimidating if I haden't just gotten a job yesterday.  This is going to be tight, folks.  I'm taking four courses for fourteen credits, and my day is pretty much packed.  I think I am going to work short evening hours, and weekends, no way can I take good hours at Stop and Shop and get anything done at school. 

Today they wanted me to come in at 1pm, but the school thing took forever, and because of my anti-biotics I got really sick and almost lost my balance and fell over while waiting in line at the registrar.  I saw paul there, though, so that was cool.  I called in for work and my boss wasen't there, and she knew about school so it isn't going to be a big deal that I didn't come in.  I'm just going to show up early tomorrow, it'll probably be cool.

[music |Comeback Kid - All in a Year]

So tonight, I drove into the city with Joe, Timmy and Auggie for the UCB theater.  We thought we were late because we had left so late.  I  parked on 27th, on a block with no signs or other cars, which felt really, really wrong but it turns out it was a fine spot.  Really wierd.  We got on line, which was really long, but it turns out most of the people were waiting for an earlier show.  So we were actually in a pretty good spot.  I'm glad I decided to bring my camera, I took a really cool picture of the alley which we were standing in front of.  Nice long exposure, and it came out really cool.  The small version I made dosen't do it justice, the 2816x2112 version is so clear and nice looking.  We stood around in the cold for about an hour and ten minutes before they gave us our tickets, and we hurried over to McDonalds to sit and warm up before the show.

We sat down, and I took some shots of the crowd settling in just to show some internet people, and eventually the players came out.  Lucky suprise, Matt Besser was performing, which is a really rare treat.  It was a really funny show, Seth Green from SNL was unusally hilarious, as well as Besser.  We got out and I was pleasantly suprised not to find a ticket on my car.  It was a nice drive home,  and that's all that's worth mentioning.

I can't believe I have work tomorrow.  I'm not really exited about it, I'm nervous about it, and for some reason I feel like it's going to really boring and tediou and annoying.  And I have to wake up at Ten.  Jesus christ, what am I, some kind of Farmer?  I QUIT

Last night in Levittown [Jan. 9th, 2005|04:27 am]
[music |Elliot Smith - Angeles]

So Dan leaves for Tennessee monday morning, and this was his last night hanging out.  Me and Mike met up with Jay, and we went to that party and hung around for a little bit.  We left after a couple of minutes and tried to take B&W myspace pictures of emotions like sorrow and anguish, you'll see.  They came out funny. 

Dan, Auggie, Paul and I piled into Paul's car and we drove down to Captree point again.  What a nice little spot.  What deserves to be mentioned is that there is never anyone there.  The whole park is 100% yours, which is why we go and pee anywhere and smoke weed on the benches and other stuff.  I took more pictures of the bridge with nice long exposures, they came out alot nicer.  Still looks better in person, it just looks cheesy in a photograph. 

From Captree point, we drove to King's Park, which is home to a giant mental health complex.  Imagine about ten fully sized brick hospitals in one little area, half of them completley closed down.  It's crazy, you have to see some of the pictures from this place.  One of the greatest spots to explore on the whole Island.  We didden't feel like being sneaky and maybe getting arrested, because security really is that tight, so I just took another long exposure shot, fucked it up, and got back in the car.  There was alot of other scary fucking scenes but Paul didden't want to pull over.  I probably woulden't have either.

We stopped at a Diner on the way home and because Auggie owed everyone money, he just put the whole meal on his card.  The mozzarella sticks tasted like seafish, kind of skeevy.  Auggie and Paul smoked a little before we went in, and home we went.  I am tired as shit, going to sleep.  Good, fun night. Some pictures;

I look fucking strange in both of these pictures.

I am really annoyed that this still isn't a good picture. It's such a nice view but I can't get a good shot that gets the idea across. Long range scenery type shot didden't work, and this long exposure type shot didden't come out good. I'm not going to give up on it though, because if I get it down it will be a good keeper. I wonder how it looks in the daytime.

One of the King's park buildings. This wasn't that creepy compared to some of the other ones, this was at least lit on the outside.

[music |Minor Threat - Salad Days]

Auggie left his belt here, but I'm not going to tell him because it fits me nicely.  Free belt. 

Dan and I went by the movies and were going to meet Devivo, Jay and Auggie but we coulden't get in.  Ashley was having a party so Auggie and Dan are looking to get butthoused and went there.  Those kinds of parties aren't really fun unless you are also looking to get butthoused, which I am not, so I just went home.  Mike just got outta work and called me, we're going to go visit Jay at Pathmark, and waste some time.

TWO IN ONE NIGHT WHAT THE FUCK [Jan. 8th, 2005|01:11 am]
[music |Fuck - Music]

I'm just going to make another post because the other one is really just about the Pics.   Today my mom woke me up at something like 10:30, and told me she was going to buy me some more comfortable shoes, because the Reeboks I bought are fly and dope, but not good for working.  So she bought me some expensive New Balance shoes which are awesome, geet thanks mom.  Speaking of a Job, I got officially hired today at Stop and Shop.  I went by with the last of ID, and the manager put me in the computer and filed all of my papers.  I'm only getting paid 6.50, which is shitty, but it isn't bad enough to really complain about.  It'll do.  They train me on monday, which I am a little nervous about.  She is starting me as a cashier, which I am a little bit uneasy about because I am retarded about math.  I'll have to give it a try.

Earlier today, Dan and I went back to Division Avenue to try and find Timmy (we coulden't).  While we were waiting in the office, I ran into alot of the people I was thinking about visiting.  I saw Todd Perez, who I used to talk to all the time last year.  Good kid, he's kind of shy but he's nice and a really good artist, he drew some Bikini girls in my yearbook.  I also Saw Mr.Slatest, who was a fun teacher to have, and Mr. Maloney, everyone's favorite.  We made some small talk but I plan on going back again monday, so I can see Mr. Kilmnick and Mrs. Obrien Kelley, who would kill me if I didden't come back to say Hi.   

On the drive home, I also ran into John Hirchberger, who is back from the Marines for the weekend.  I used to talk to him all the time, we were pretty good friends in school but we never hung out after school.  You know the type.  He looked jacked, he definitley got bigger from all the weight training and shit he was doing.  It's kind of crazy how many kids from my school went into the Marines/Army/Navy.  Alot more than those bums from San Jose.  God, no character, in those kids.  Bunch of savages.

Pepsi Pepsi, no coke [Jan. 8th, 2005|12:26 am]
[music |Elliot Smith - Sweet Adeline]

So tonight, Dan Auggie and I are sitting around, playing counterstrike, sitting around being bored as hell, and Dan brings up a resteraunt chain that he used to go to in Tennessee, called Cheeburger Cheeburge.  Not Cheeseburger, Cheeburger.  I don't get it, but Auggie assures me it is from an SNL sketch.  So we got Mike, and got some mapquest directions, and drove up to the north shore, where the only one on Long Island is located. We got a little confused but we got there without much of a problem.  The food was awesome, and the waitress gave Dan some beers without even asking for ID.  Sweet deal.  The food was great, and we all went home when we got back to Levittown.  Fun night.

Sorry about the blurryness, I took the flash off for some reason and I had to hold it like a retard.

I suppose [Jan. 5th, 2005|02:34 am]
[music |Greenday - Burnout]

So my sweet new camera came today, and I am really amazed again at the crazy deal I got on it.  This thing is 6.1 megapixels, which is excellent for the price I found it for ($250), especially for a small pocket sized point and shoot camera.  I took alot of funny movies of us arguing and making retarded noises, shame I can't just put those up someplace. 

Anyway, today Dan and I met up with Jay and we went down to the Mall.  We tried buying some shoes, but in both stores the workers were fucking rude cunts so I left without shoes.  After that Jay went to the Champion show, and Dan and I picked up Auggie from work.  We tooled around and met up with Paul, at which point we got some pot and went down to "The Wantagh spot", which was just a little trail and a clearing full of garbage on the side of the parkway.  I took some funny pictures, and then we got food and went down to Captree point. 

Captree point is the eastmost point in Jones Beach, it's the last beach/park on the little peninsula that Jones Beach occupies, and the view there is awesome at night.  I took some more shots, I think they came out really nice with the exception of the view of the bay and the bridge.  I need to learn how to fine tune some of it, it came out blurry and out of focus.  Oh well.  Here are some pics.

Exit W-3 East, Levittown [Jan. 2nd, 2005|05:47 pm]
[music |Against Me - The Politics of Starving]

I'm sick as shit and I can't figure it out.  I have a pretty bad headache which Tylenol stands no chance against, and  whenever I move my eyeballs I get dizzy and the headache seems to get worse.  And lights are making my headache worse.  Like last night, me and Auggie were watching Arrested development and everytime the lights in the show were brighter, I had to squint because it was killing me.  And my neck is super stiff, I can't figure out why either.  I got the flu really bad last year, I could see it happening again.  Especially after that new years party, I probably have a million new diseases after that. 
 
Oddly enough I am finding that sitting at the computer is a little easier for me, probably because I am sitting up and I don't have to move my eyes to look around.  I feel like a douche staying in two nights in a row but I can't find my phone and I can't even walk straight.

I don't know who it was, but someone told me the bagels were free this morning.  So yeah at 5AM I picked up Jay John and Cody and we drove and got Bagels at 5.   A drunk Cody fell asleep at Johns, and John drew all over his face.  He somehow didden't notice and we went to Bagel Boss and ordered bagels with a penis, a swastika and two big balls were all over his face.  And we got this old guy to take pictures of us with him, which I am waiting for John to send to me. 

I also bought a new Camera, an Olympus C-60.
Only 250 bucks, online.  Pretty boss.

Tonight was awesome, we all went to George's party and it was a blast.  It's alot of fun and everyone is in a good mood.  We also stopped by Paul's hotel room that he rented, but we left pretty soon, wasen't that fun.  Anyway, we are supposed to get free bagels at 5AM somewhere so I am just going to stay up for it. 

On the drive home, I was thinking about how much fun shit we did in the last two weeks or so.  And the best part is that there is no distinct end in sight.  When we were in school, it was we can have fun untill the summer, blah blah blah.  Right now, this is our life.  We are going to be able to have fun and go on trips like this for a long time, before we actually get tied down.  Things are looking up.

ICE TO SEE YOU [Dec. 30th, 2004|09:33 pm]
[music |Led Zeppelin - Black Dog]

So, yesterday was a pretty big day.  I travelled like 400 miles total and had a lot of fun.

First of all, the day starts at 4:30 AM.  I get a call from Dan, and he's whispering.  He tells me Him Auggie and his Cousin were drinking a few beers and fell asleep.  And then Auggie actually woke up, stood up, took his penis out and peed in the corner of Dan's room.  And he didden't want Auggie there for the rest of the night so I came and got him.  But we didden't tell him anything, so a confused and drunk Auggie is standing outside of Dan's at 4:30 in below zero weather, and I come get him hoping he dosen't fucking piss all over my house.  He didden't. 

Auggie and I woke up at 11:30, and we picked up Dan and set out for Shelter Island.  Shelter island is where my Dad lives, and it's like 70 miles away.  I have to get on the Expressway, and then ride it untill it fucking stops, and then take another road all the way up the North Fork of the Island, and then take a Ferry from a town called Greenport.  So we make the drive and it takes us like two hours. 

My dad gave us directions to his house, I got a little confused but we figured it out.  It was alot of fun, my Dad is really funny and we were laughing and having fun the whole time.  He also went on to Tirerack.com and bought me new Wheels and Tires that came to $936 dollars.  I would have refused it, but he did never actually pay Child Support, which would have accumulated to like $200,000 dollars by now.  He made us an awesome Flank Steak dinner, and he even got a Cake for me.  He showed us his little slice of the Island, which was really impressive.  He is the manager of a big Marina on the Island, so he lives there probably for free.  He has his own hardware shop, and a gigantic garage and machine shop.  The genius of his business is that Shelter Island is a super exclusive resort type place, most of the houses there sell in the millions.  So he makes his money repairing these old rich fucker's Yachts all day.  We stayed there for about five hours, and we left.  Dan drove home, because as soon as we got to Levittown we were going to go straight up to Milford PA, Auggie's house.

So we get back to my house, and call Paul.  Paul is hilarious and like always he wants to drive, what a relief.  So my car gets a well deserved break and I get to relax and chill out in the back of his Stratus, which is basically a short Limosuine.  And I made the great decision to smoke weed with them, which was the first time in three years.  So I spring for the weed, and we set off for PA.  I know the way well enough to get out of The Bronx, but as soon as we get passed the G.W. Bridge I forgot everything.  Luckily we had some shitty Yahoo directions which made us think we were doing it all wrong, which we weren't.    We smoked in the car but I didden't get high at all, but it was fun anyway.  We arrived at like two in the morning, after much whining and paranoid complaints about his eyes being too red and his parents would find out.  Which they didden't.

His house is awesome, it's huge and brand new, and we all slept in the "bonus room", which is like a second, upstairs living room.  I got the floor, which sucked.  I fell asleep really quickly, but I woke up at like 9:00 because Auggie's dad is really, really loud.  And I had a really hard time falling back asleep because every position I tried to sleep in hurt.  We got up around noon and Auggie's sweetheart mom made us an awesome breakfast.  We left and drove to the waterfalls, which were fucking awesome. 

We walk along the trail for a little, untill we find this dam.  The lake on one side of the dam is totally frozen, but the other is a really long, low sloping waterfall/rapids area, which is surrounded by more, steep regular waterfalls, which were totally frozen.  We finished off the weed there, and again, I didden't feel anything.  Oh well, at least I gave it a second try.  We got back in the car and drove to a mall, which Auggie totally raved about and it wasen't that good at all. 

We got home around 5, and we all went home.  And since Auggie dosen't have a home, he came here.  We went to Best Buy and I bought King Arthur and Anchorman, and Auggie bought the Arrested Development box set.  And so here I am, typing away and falling asleep, yeah yeah.  A fun day,  but I wish I brought my camera.

Tomorrow Me Dan and Auggie are going to drive out to Shelter Island to see my dad, and then later on we will drive to wonderful scenic Milford PA, and hopefully go Skiing.  The last time we drove out there it was alot of fun, but then again, I wasen't driving.  And to be honest, I am getting sick of the god damn LIE.

The Life Aquatic [Dec. 28th, 2004|10:54 pm]
[music |Against Me! - A Breif but Triumphant intermission]

So we all went to see The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou today, and I thought it was awesome.  My favorite Wes Anderson movie by far, I wasen't that crazy about Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums.  I found those boring, but this was more of an adventure type film, and the jokes were well spaced and hilarious every time.  They weren't the kind of jokes you can repeat because they won't be funny, it was just sort of like a quirky situation or line or facial expression or something, it was great.

On a more serious note for once, hanging out with Glen and Mike makes me really appreciate being a civilian.  Right now my worries are driving out to Shelter Island tomorrow and Skiing in Pennsylvania.  In about a month, Mike and Glen are going overseas to fight tooth and fucking nail in Iraq.  It baffles me and makes everything else seem completley trivial.

[music |Rancid - Disgruntled]

So today Me, Auggie, Dan, and his cousin Mike drove into the Bronx to see the Zoo.  It was pretty easy getting there, and I ponied up the 7 bucks for parking. Two hours of perfect, safe parking is worth 7 bucks, I think.  Because of the snow, most of the animals were inside and out of view, so there was alot of cool stuff that we missed.  Highlights include the awesome Red Panda, which looked like large, orange raccoons, very cute.  We went to the World of Darkness to check out all the crazy nocturnal animals, and it was ruined for me because I lost one of my gloves, which was expensive and leather and warm.  Fuck the World of Darkness.

The Reptile House was pretty awesome, lots of giant snakes and crazy looking reptiles.  Also, their water monitor lizard was dead in the tank.  Sucks for whoever was responsible for that.  Fuck hibernation, that thing was dead.  We walked around a bunch and saw the Tigers, and The Giraffes.  They were really cool, but we felt bad because it was four large ones in an indoor pen about as big as my house.  So they kept walking in circles, looked very depressed or something.  What's cool about them is that they will lean their crazy necks over the bars to look at you, really interesting.

We went to the resteraunt there and Dan and Mike payed five dollars for a small cup of beer. what a ripoff.  One hotdog was fucking 3.70.

I totally winged it on the way home, I didden't use any directions so I was kind of lost for a few minutes but It worked out, I'm suprised that my elaborate in my head type of plan actually worked for once. Take that Zach, you fucking piece of shit.
