So as many of you know, I'm way into this whole investing and stock market bit. I'd be more into it, but hey, I'm kind of broke at the moment and just playing with money I already had invested. So a few weeks ago I sold some stock to buy stock in another company. Since I manage all my stock and don't bother keeping it with a broker, selling it wasn ( Read more... )

So we headed to good ole Bayley for an alumni farewell event. My sweet Jesus was it weird. So many people I didn't know. We found some of our old classmates, which was a good time. There was a girl who was "sent away" our sophomore year, mostly because she was slut and nuts, and she was there, and it was just weird. There were a bunch of girls who ( Read more... )

So I was re-reading a bunch of old livejournal posts from fall of sneior year, starting with just before my birthday and continuing on into October. I'm really glad I've kept this thing, and while i haven't been super diligent with it over the last few years, it still has a lot of things that I otherwise would have forogotten. I was reading one ( Read more... )

The Dropkick Murphys are finally doing a cover of the Green Fields of France. This excites me greatly.

I'm going to tell you a story now. This story is about a watch. And sunglasses, but I have nothing to do with the sunglasses, that was all Mike ( Read more... )

So we nailed the first one, and we were awarded the contract! This means that we'll be writing a couple press releases a month. Not that this pays remarkably well, but "press release ( Read more... )

Alright, so today was a good day in terms of my job to be unemployed no more. First, I was woken up by a phone call from a guy who wants me to interview for a job working for PR Newswire in Jersey City. Essentially I'd be taking press releases, putting them into a template, and then sending them on their merry way. I'd also be answering the phones ( Read more... )

It was announced yesterday that my old high school will be closing it's doors at the end of this year and never opening them again. Bayley Ellard has finally been shut down by the diocese. It was not the finest institution ever as far as academics go, and the student body had a higher average of delinquents, sex fiends and drug users, but that ( Read more... )

A lot has happened in the last week, and really, the vast majority of it sucked, so I'd prefer not to talk about it. Pleasant highlights were mocking John Rocker, going to A.C. and otherwise having an enjoyable time with Fran and the crew in honor of Fran being home ( Read more... )

So, Lexi called today and was very excited. She was talking to her boss about long term plans for working there and what not and how it could work out if we were to get married and all that jazz... and long story short, it turns out that her boss is best friends with the head editor of the local paper in Madison, CT, and that he might be able to ( Read more... )
