>Welcome to the newest realty show. NBA Draft: 8 Young Men – Watch what happens when 8 young men, straight out of High School are interviewed left and right by a media deluge shouting “money, money, money!” After being drafted they’re “guaranteed to be worth at least 11 million over the next 2 years” and thus draw all this media attention. Did something change? Are they able to go straight from High School now? I’ve never heard of this before, and the media is going nuts about the money these boys will be getting. Where the poor guy might try…

>Ya’know, I really love my computer =-] I heard the commercial on the radio, get a big mac, get a free download. Well sure, I’m game. I downloaded Sony’s “Connect” software (connect.com) and entered the code. The software is about 8 different modules all working together to make sure you are downloading and playing legitimately. I have the software running in the background and after being unable to “readily” burn a MP3 CD (I’m out of CD-Rs, and it doesn’t seem to recognize my burner), I have resorted to outright piracy. Yes you heard me correctly. I’m playing the song…
>Joe Schmoe 2
>So I’m watching Joe Schmoe 2 right now. It seems amusing enough. A twist on the old, I’m not addicted quite yet. We’ll see. I certainly loved the old one. Relay training underway. Check it out.
>Singing: I’m The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side
>I couldn’t find the artist of this song anywhere: “I’m The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side” and couldn’t find it on iTunes… so I’ll sing it myself!
>So I’m off on Vacation — kind of. Unfortunately it’s not like a real vacation — I have to start it with my Mom’s retirement party. It gets better after spending the following day running my mom’s tag sale I’ll be headed out to Framingham. Tracy’s friend Rachel is going to be having a party that night. Then on Sunday we’re going to be headed down to Foxwoods. I haven’t ever been. I’m kind of afraid of bringing too much money, but what if I win? I think I’ll stick to $100 and leave it at that. If I end…
>I just had a man come to my door looking for signatures. He was looking to have a bill introduced that allows prents equal rights to children unless one is proven unfit in accordance with blahbitty blah blah. I read it myself, and seems to be a good idea. It makes me wonder what the current phrasing is. With the current laws, do mother’s get precidence over fathers? Comment if you’re in the know.
>A Night @ the RockHop
>So there I was… surrounded by mulletted men, or at least they should have been. Godsmack abound, with about 4 HipHop songs in a row… then “bullet hits the bone” not even sure who it’s by… but hair metal for the rest of the night. We headed to Breakers to get away from it, and there was just way too much of an issue there. Everyone who goes there is married, and usually with the spouse. I was warned by a friend who happened to be there the seccond I stepped on the dancefloor. “OK — I’ll keep that in…
>Writing Style
>I was looking at the last entry thinking I needed to add “I think” here and there. I learned in gradeschool not to write that way. If you’re writing an essay, at least, anyone reading it should expect all the views to be your own unless you explicitly state fact with evidence to back it up. Or quote someone else’s opinion. You don’t need to add “I think” or “I believe” but you do need to clarify that it’s opinion — or else you look like Michael Moore. There’s a man who never learned the difference between “fact” an “opinion”.…
>Cops in Russia
>Who would have thought — Cops in Russia, taped in Moscow and Leningrad. It’s interesting if only to see the conditions in which they live. With the influx of immigrates from Russia to the surrounding area as of late, it’s applicable to me as far as being aware to what they may be coming from. I can’t say I’ve had an involved enough conversation with any Russian immigrants thus far to see exactly where they’re immigrating from but this at least gives a good look at Moscow and Leningrad. So far it looks very 80s, are rubles even still used?…
>Picture Links
>I felt like looking for desktop pictures today: Student Art Work Underwater Photos New Zealand Zoo Fractals Aerial Geography “Greeting Cards” An unrelated link for those that like to steal roadsigns.
>Dream
>Every time I miss class it seems to be due to a dream. I fall back asleep and have the most interesting dreams, and Fitzi usually ends up snuggling — so it’s a double whammy not to get up 😉 I was at an outdoor party, in a field. There were crates of soda, big plastic molds of turtles and other animals (for tracing?), and clothes. The music was bumping, I was having a good time… I had a turtle mold and it got put under some crates that were holding up the turntables. I thought “OK — that’s cool,…
>Iddig
>Before there was Izzo, there was Iddig. It’s basically the same idea, add the first distinguishable syllable(s) to -iddig and be able to say it quickly. It sounds unintelligible until you listen to it carefully — then you can pick out the syllable(s). As far as I know it originates in the NJ area. I was first introduced to it about 3 years ago. It’s a memory from Phil R. and Jess times, right about when I first came to the area and worked at Relay. It hit me as I was about to fall asleep, and it was one…
>I downloaded phonebooth thinking it was photobooth. I expected “man who falls in love with a woman and her family after developing her pictures” with Robin Williams, instead I got a pompous ass stuck in a phone booth by a psycho with a high-powered rifle. I’m thoroughly entertained right now, 40:00 in. I can’t see how it’ll go on for 2 hours though.
>I’m writing this because I’ve gotten some good news. I’m preparing my resume. I think I have one somewhere, I just need to re-write it and send it on. I have a few other qualifications since RCN — so need to add those, besides I think the preferred resume format has evolved a bit in 3 years. I want to gush, but I’m afraid to go into details. There’s a lot of people vying for work in this field and I’d rather wait until I know it’s a sure thing before I go blabbing. For now — I’ve gotten a…
>Well things are OK with the site — stated things in a very business like fashion, gave a few options, and he was fine when I stopped in a bit earlier today. He wasn’t aware of how much was involved with the site, I’ll take that as a compliment that I make it look easy. I’m poor, I’ve been paying for food the past couple days with change. I just finished up my Wendys and I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much for $3 =] I ain’t too proud to give $3 in nickels, dimes, and quarters to the…
