If my thanksgiving day were a freak engine freeze tag then it would have started with “go ahead, you can have it, but if you’ve gotta go, I don’t want to hear about it” and ended with “don’t put nuthin else in your mouth!” In between would have been as many New York adventures as one can have in a day. I missed being at home quite a bit, but ( Read more... )

i've got a post written at school about my thanksgiving weekend, so you'll just have to deal with it being out of order. i can't post it at school because the systems administrator at school has about 99.7% of the entire internet blocked. this includes dirty sites like google.com yahoo.com and columbia universtiy... apparently these sites provide ( Read more... )

So last night was my second annual trip to the Meadowlands (note that by meadowlands i mean a giant parkinglot) in the great state of New Jersey. I went to see the New York Football Giants be outplayed by the Atlanta Falcons.

well the election's over and the country will move on as normal... thank God we live in a place where people don't riot in the streets with guns when an election doesn't go their way. i always said that i'd be the first to canada if there's a draft, but i've been reconsidering, and Costa Rica sounds nice. They've got beaches on both of the world' ( Read more... )

sorry for the lack of journaling, but you wouldn't believe the amount of time that post-season baseball can consume. I've always enjoyed baseball, but i've never been able to follow sports in any depth, in large part due to the amount of time they take. Thank God I'm not at all interested in football, now that's a sport you have to have all day ( Read more... )

So far the week's gone well, but it started wonderfully. For over a year now, I've been trying to find a good place to go to church. Sunday i went with my community to Fordham University's evening mass and it was wonderful! It was so great to go to mass with my friends and with people my age (okay, so a little bit younger, but you know, i can ( Read more... )

It has been too long since my last journal, so i'll do my best to fill in the gaps. Last Sunday night Br. Stan (the president of CBU) took me and another volunteer out to dinner where we ate at a nice jewish deli and had tasty pastrami sandwiches. On the way to dinner i was walking through times square and off to my right i heard someone whisper ( Read more... )

I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to mean, but it was printed in bold orange letters on the side of a correctional facility bus going down second ave. today ( Read more... )

Just an FYI for all you Memphis people. There's a cool thing on the internet, of course, that many of you may or may not know about. Go to www.craigslist.org and click on the Memphis link. Right now there's not much going on there, but with your help it can be a cool thing. You can go to NYC or somewhere else to see how it works. Bascially ( Read more... )
