a fight, of sorts. fists or racial slurs werent being thrown around, nor was any shit discussed, but being fought over was something that comes along...never. for a moment, i felt like jeff garcia..minus the playboy models and hairless scalp ( Read more... )

the 3:45am wakeup calls throughout the week seem to extend into the weekend, so sleeping in (?) till 6:30 this morning was something else. it sort of blows though, being up that early and really having no energy or desire to do anything, so i fucked off for a bit when my phone rang. my dad will call me at about 7am on the weekend days..and the ( Read more... )

So now Johnny Cochran is gone. Every time I think of him or the Juice, I remember where I was when I heard OJ got acquitted, sitting outside in a friends car (Anthony Saad) in the fall of 1995. 3 of us were outside of a traffic court in Buffalo (amherst, actually) getting out of school to observe a court proceeding for our Government class senior ( Read more... )

i usually get up each morning at 3:45am for work, which is at 5am. even 3:45 is sort of pushing it, but at that point in the morning, even 10 extra seconds of sleep can be pretty important. i managed to avoid oversleeping for 6-7 weeks now, until this morning. i roll over and stare at the red lights in the darkness. even though i set both my alarm ( Read more... )

8am came around as the birds outside my bedroom window turned into an alarm clock, although 8am is sleeping in for someone getting up at the crack hour of 4am. getting up that early doesnt even phase me anymore. its sort of insane ( Read more... )

insanity all around. the excess of news coverage makes me thankful i dont have cable these days, and at this rate, i probably never will. missed phone calls to go out when im immobile anyway. hopefully tomorrow. florida is slowly slipping away along with the sanity i once claimed to have. prom dates, bowl hits, and years of random shit later, im ( Read more... )

each thursday is when i go into my temp agency office to pick up my pay stub, each week being more and more thankful im getting alot of hours and still have a job. i dont get an actual check, as i elected for direct deposit, which saves a lot of time/hassle with the bank. i walk in and im standing in a small line at the desk when someone calls out ( Read more... )

after what's become the daily 10 hour shift at work, i got on the interstate to go back to my apartment. i got about 10 miles up and hit a very unusual stoppage, which never happens because i go opposite of traffic each morning and afternoon, as i live downtown, but work in suburbia. it took about 45 mins and was backed up for maybe 5 miles. i got ( Read more... )

REM's Monster album was the first "big" purchase I made after having my first job as a cook at KFC in the summer/fall of 1994. I just read what you could call a re-review of that album, along with other post 1988 REM albums. It's crazy to dig through your cd's and find shit you bought just over a decade ago, and know you were legal to drive back ( Read more... )

30 hours in 3 days has been nice, with a potential 46 or more being a most probable result of the week. hump day is always a nice one to walk away from, the downhill roll of the week feeling much better than the bunny hill i tumbled down at holiday valley the one time i ever have, and ever will, go skiing. it sure can't touch the days of the pac- ( Read more... )
