[148] I say FUCK YOU, I'm getting *IN* the plane!
I quite honestly hadn't laughed that hard in a long, long time.

[147] GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR!, 11/10 edition
The recipient of said cigar today will be the man responsible for releasing the nude pictures of former 3LW member and current (well, perhaps not for much longer) Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon. Google them and look for them yourself, but all I know is that I had a huge adolescent crush on her when I was 13 (it only lasted for like 2 weeks but still), and pictures like those are what I've waited nearly 8 long years to see.
Anonymous nude picture leaker, you have my utmost respect.

[146] Thank goodness I'm a trooper
So after reading Mikhail's blog, it turns out we had somewhat similar Saturday nights / early Sundays.
So after getting incredibly trashed last night and stumbling through my door at about 5:30am, I somehow remembered to set my clock for 10:45, since I needed to be at work at 12. I woke up to my alarm feeling incredibly shitty, and even though it stopped short of a hangover (probably because I also somehow had enough sense to drink a shitload of water before going to sleep last night), it was enough for me to consider calling out of work. But I decided not to, mostly because I like money and I didn't think there was any need for me to be a pussy about having a semi-bad headache and aching body.
I get to work without incident, and for the first hour or so, things are going well. But then it kind of begins to go downhill. First I forget to bag some guy's map of Buenos Aires, Argentina, so he ends up calling the store(!) and speaks with ME (our names are on the reciepts). With no exaggeration whatsoever, this dude sounded like Dracula on the phone and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
After all of that is worked out, I get this old white lady buying some book about dead bodies.
"YOU KNOW, I VOLUNTEER IN A MORGUE AT BELLVUE HOSPITAL. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NUMBER ONE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AFRO-AMERICAN MALES AGES 15-40 IS HOMICIDE? LOOK IT UP, IT'S TRUE! AND IT'S ALL BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE."
She goes on.
"YOU KNOW, ALL THESE INTERRACIAL COUPLES, WITH THE BLACKS AND WHITES MIXING... IT'S MOSTLY BLACK WOMEN WITH WHITE MEN NOW. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY? THE BLACK WOMEN ARE GOING TO COLLEGE NOW. THEY'RE GETTING AN EDUCATION. WHO ARE THEY GONNA MARRY? THE JANITOR?"
This lady's veiled racism is enough to give Don Imus an instant stiffy.
Among other things today: I was called a "man of the bible", I was asked when cashiers started to give people back their change with the reciept on the bottom, the bills in the middle, and the coins on top (...yeah), and some guy kept creepily telling the girl next to me that her voice sounds pretty.
I was feeling pretty alright by 4-5pm.
How about that.

[145] Take THAT, Times Square Virgin Megastores with diabetes!
Some of you (read: none of you) may remember my posts back in the summer regarding me wanting to hear Beulah's final album, "Yoko". This was back when I worked at Virgin, so I looked it up in the inventory and not only did we not have it, but we didn't have ANY Beulah albums.
Today, I had some time to kill before work, so I went inside the Virgin (DONT GO THERE!) in Union Square (which I had always thought was superior to the Times Square one) just for shits and giggles, and what should I find in the rock section under B?
Like six copies of Beulah's "The Coast Is Never Clear", and fuckin' "Yoko".
Times Square Virgin Megastore having the biggest music selection in the world? HA, my ass.
I look forward to hearing this album later on.

[144] Take THAT, Republicans with diabetes!
FUCK YES.
Barack Obama is going to be the 44th President of the United States.
Now please, Obama... just don't fuck this up.

[143] Take THAT, voters with diabetes!
Been hearing reports of wait times of up to 4 hours to vote on the news.
I only waited 5 minutes tops to cast my vote for Obama.
C'mon, motherfuckers...

[142] Another post where I wish Beulah got back together
I haven't been able to stop listening to this song... the recorded version or this kick-ass live version. It's called "Gravity's Bringing Us Down".

[141] Starbucks outdoes themselves yet again
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate = holy fucking shit. Sure, they might as well start handing out syringes with insulin for free with a venti, but wow. Whoever crafted that, GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR. Jackie fucking passes for suggesting I try it.
On an unrelated note, unfortunately, taking Keith Olbermann's advice is proving to be harder than originally thought.

[140] You say it, Keith
So there's been a noticeable lack of activity on here lately. I don't know, I've just been lacking motivation lately... been feeling kinda down for the past week or so for a variety of reasons. There's some reasons why I should really cheer up: got a new job with some really cool co-workers including a friend who I've known for a while, I think I've been writing some better songs on a more frequent basis now (which I guess could be linked to this "down" period, idk), etc.
I know I talk a big game and all of that but to be quite honest, there are some times when I really really miss her... tho I really think it has more to do with the fact that I miss having someone in general. Whatever, I'm talking too much.
Either way, I really need to do something. I need to start taking control of my life. Not gonna let all these outside forces bring me down like this. Going to take the CPE at Hunter earlier this evening, I stopped by Starbucks (HOLY SHIT BIG FUCKING SURPRISE) for something to wake me up a bit... and this quote from Keith Olbermann was in the "The Way I See It" section of the cup:
"The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' -- they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.' "
I think I'm going to start living by that.

[139] Wow...
A few hours later, and I still can't believe it.
I went to high school with a girl who now does porn.
Rough porn.
Like... the kind that borders on illegal.
For the love of God, three guys came on her face!

[138] Isaac - 1, LIRR - 0
LOL I totally forgot about this until I just looked in my wallet right now... coming home in a highly inebriated state from Queens last night, I apparently got a free ride on the LIRR. The conductor never came to take my ticket.
$3.25 refund, here I come.

[137] BOY I DON'T THINK THAT GAME WENT WELL
So it seems like the 7 train is now the Salty Shuttle as the Mets just got knocked out of the playoffs.

[136] Well, technically it's still summer...
...but what the hell, I want it to get cold already. I wanna break out my awesome green corduroy blazer and I can't do that when it's 80 fucking degrees every day.
For now, however, time to half-assedly rummage through some notes for my Spanish class for my exam later today and make an equally half-assed attempt to sleep for about 4 hours.
