[Current Music |Kanye West - Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix ft. Jay-Z)]

I'm done my sophmore year at Rutgers.

Hmm.. technically speaking, I should graduate in two years.  Two years?  Damn.  We all know there's no proper transition from high school life to college life, and the same goes for college to real life.  Well, good thing I won't be graduating in 2008, not counting the spike in tuition and future ass-rapes, in that respect.  If I get to study with Travis Heath, a recent doctoral student graduate like I anticipate this summer, that would be wonderful.  It means a once or twice (msot likely once) commute to New Brunswick.  Not bad.  I would have sub-letted at Alpha Sig for the summer, not needed a car, and worked in downtown New Brunswick.  That way, I'd already have access to the music buildings, and everything would be sweet.  But I figured I'd just make the commute if it's only once a week.  Save money by not paying for all my own meals.
  But check this; my car is fooked. FOOKED.  The engine has a knock, due to no fault of my own. 
  The ass who sold me the car failed to inform me on the history of the car (illegal) which includes having four different engines R&R'd over a two year span.  One had a knock after 7 months, anotehr after 11, and one even after 5 months.  So I buy the car last sumemr, and within 10 days it has a knock.  And SURPRISE!, when I call him to say wtf motherfucker, he tells me he made a mistake and the warranty actually expired two days prior.  So now, after last summer of not having a car and having an engine installed and finally thinkign I was ok, I have it happen to me AGAIN.  Are engines built to last only 2,000 miles?  Hell no.
  So I'm pretty certain that I'm going to file a small courts claim against him.  He stole my money from me and misrepresented information to me.  Had he told me the history of the car, I think I would have chosen otherwise about purchasing it from him.  I todl Larry Thress my situation and he told me he had the same thing happen to his 84 Firebird with 5 different engines installed and each one knocking after around 8 months, and he and his dad had no idea why.  Ended up being his transmission that was causing these problems.  My trans HAS been screwy when you first start the car, and that's probably my answer.  An answer this guy I bought it from probably didn't have, so he had an engine installed while he still had a warranty and immediately sold it to some innocent dousche (me).  Well he'll see me in court, and I think I can build a pretty convincing argument.

Wat, what's this say from lemonlawclaims.com?

B. Misrepresentations and Deceptive Practices Prohibited

56:8-68.Unlawful advertising practices :

a. To misrepresent the mechanical condition of a used motor vehicle
b. To fail to disclose, prior to sale, any material defect in the mechanical condition of the used motor vehicle which is known to the dealer;

 
 
We'll see where this takes me.  Until then, I gotta find a car to get me to work, hopefully find a 2nd job, get in touch with Travis and begin studying with him over the summer in prep. for my Nov audition for Mason Gross.

You wouldn't understand the passion for music someone feels at any given point in time.  Or would you?  You hear a song, and you're more than motivated, because motivation is only a temporary mood.
  What really drives you?  Honestly, it can't be understood unless the sensation is shared by the same kind of person with more than just a like, but a true compellation.

  I sometimes question myself if I'm merely motivated to action, or driven.

I have zero use in writing in here now since no one's gonna understand it. I just had the 2nd part of my final for fundies this morning and i got a 94 on that piece. singing intervals and shit and sight singing. everyone else is home for break, and i dont get to do so until the 23rd. only reason i care is tehy get a longer break than i do. and plus im getting home the day b4 christams eve. wtf. i feel bad for out-pf-staters from ohio who have an exam late like me. i don't really have any incentive to go home. chilis is gay and is only allowing us returning servers to pick up shifts, and not putting us on the schedule? how do i know that? cuz mr bryan nose told me. thats gay. my boss up here said if i wanted i could work everyday and even close. if only i lived in north brunswick. i could stay in my apartment.. by myself for the entire break. or commute like an hour to work a double and drive back to pennsauken. but fuck that that's not happenin'. maybe ill call hathaways and pick up some hours there. its less money, but it is still money. :/ i'm tired of writing. l8

"Oh yeah, the sleeve jackets are a one day job. As soon as I get them in on Tuesday it shouldn't be a problem."
"Oh ok thanks."
[Tuesday comes]
"Hey I'm calling about the Dodge Stealth and wondering when it's gonna be done today?"
"Oh well sir, I jsut got in those esleeve jackets about 15 min ago and as long as I can get it done today and have enough time."
What I should have said: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IFYOU HAVE TIME? You had the engine over a week and told me it would be done by Friday or Saturday at the latest. THen you realize you fucked up and forgot to take the jackets off the old engine and tried blaming it on Jasper. I called Jasper and they told me you were supposed to take it off the other engine but you're RETARTED and forgot. Now you had to order them to be sent out again, and now you're going to tell me if you have enough time?"
I get shitted this entire process. I'm livid. You know wha tthat means? It means way more angry than angry, and that's me. IT's 3:00 PM right now and I'm gonna call in a half hour to see if it's done. If he's gonna tell me Saturday that it's only a one day job, then the motherfucker is going to have ample time to fucking finish this pis poor job of his.

Thoughts from the past [Jul. 1st, 2005|02:36 am]
[Current Mood | thoughtful]
[Current Music |DMB - The Dreaming Tree]

I'm cleaning some of my room cuz I have it junked up with lots of papers from school that I didn't really have anywhere to put and stuff, and I had some pictures I had in my old car that I cleaned out last night before we gave it to purple heart. I come to my desk and I notice all these cards that are behind the blue Wawa Iced Tea pull-off things I have been collecting for years (yeah I collect them, and it's worthless but I got a LOT damn that's a lot of $1.50's). SO I pull them out and realize I have this huge stack of cards from my ex gf. So I pull one out to read it and damn, I completely forgot about that part of my life. It's weird. Like 2:30 AM cleaning my room and I'm reading this card. I put it away and look at another one. They were like random cards she'd just send to my house. She also worked in a card store so that had part to do with it; easy access I guess. But I'm reading through all these lines of emotions and thinking that that's exactly how I felt for her. DMB - Proudest Monkey is playing and I just start thinking. I look at the date, August of 02. SHIT that was 3 years ago! and then i just flip through all the envelopes and realize how long we dated and how we were so much a part of each others lives. It's funny to read it and see things like I love you so much and I've never had feelings for anyone like I do for you. I'm 19 now and you just forget how old you get, how quick time flies by.
This isn't me saying I miss my ex girlfriend, or I want to get back with her. If that was your first thought then you can't see the message I want to convey. It's been almost two years since we broke up, and me just typing that makes me think EVEN MORE how long ago it is (or it seems) that I was with someone I cared about so much. It's like I live a different life. ALmost no one really knows I even dated someone for so long because we went to different schools and shit. Nowadays if people are talking about their pasts and girls and shit I'll interject something that's relevant to my past, and people are like "wait who'd you date?" It's just so weird man! Like no one knows about that whole era of my life. That's right, I'm 19 so that year and a half was like an era, and I can use that word. Era. I think about having a girlfriend now, and it just blows my mind man. My friends who have gf;s now or are having problems with them or breaking up and shit or whatever, it'd cros my mind like oh yeah I dated Jess for so long but I think I just realized so much more how we were all involved and shit with each other when I saw that stack of cards. It's so odd how your mind can just slowly but surely blank out that part of time. Proudest Monkey is still playing right now b/c I have like three versions of it, two of them live. DMB just makes you think, especially their mellow minds. Like no one at Rutgers really knows me, my close friends really don't KNOW me... and I really don't KNOW anyone else. I don't know my friends lives. They've live they're whole life and I only know what they show at school. They only know me from what I do or say or how I joke. We don't really know anyone else, and that's the way it's always going to stay. Now Dreaming Tree is playing. Good song. I'll just leave my entry at that. I wonder when the next meaningful girl will come my way man. I'm all about having fun and meeting girls this summer, but it's an inevitable thought that penetrates that back of our minds, of finding someone we can share a part of ourselves with. Something that can never be replaced, reversed, or forgotten.

Getting a Deck [May. 31st, 2005|02:03 pm]
[Current Mood |can't stop coughing]
[Current Music |Buddy Rich Band - Nutville]

Subject is self-explanatory. But let me start off with a little more stuff no one cares about. Alrite, so I never use this, this is my first like entry after my frist year of school. Three pages of this writing can't sum up my experiences at Rutgers, so all I'll say is gonna sound gay to anyone who doesn't go there: I met a lot of great people, got involved in some groups up there like the RU Glee Club (arguably one of the best men's glee clubs in the nation) hell yeah Princeton and U Michigan suck compared to our ass. Um, gettin off topic I'm really looking forward to next semester too. November is my audition for Mason Gross, and three of my friends from PHS will be comin there- Luke, Kli, and Jake. It sucks Bill can't come this year, but hopefully next year or in two after he gets his associates. AAWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAA!
Anyway, when my brother graduates from the academy, he's havign a graduation from college/graduation from police academy party here. My parents are getting a deck built on the back of our house with a sliding glass door where my dining room window is right now. This will all be done in about one week from today, because i takes a weekend to do. On top of that, I think I can finally have a few people over my house to chill out there. My house is too small, so the deck is gonig to an awesome addition. I'm also proud of my brother, he's accomplished a lot, and I'm really proud of that mother fucker.
Sunday night, Lauren put my hair in twists, and it looks tight. But I woke up Monday unable to cease coughing, all day continuously. I think I might be having an aleergic reaction to the beeswax, on top of the excess levels of pollen. So gay ass, I gotta wash it out today, and have her help me out. Then, I think it's time for a trimmy trim, my hair has grown wild for a year and 2 months, so it's time I get it under control, maybe styled or something.
Bill and I played guitar last night at his crib, and it was cool. I haven't played sicne last semester, and it's a good way to be motivated to play again. But, my priority is trumpet, so I'm gonna do that up in abotu half an hour. This is it for now. Thanks for readin.

Fuck [Apr. 16th, 2005|02:38 am]
[Current Music |No music on the computer at home.]

I got stuck in Trenton for a little over two hours. The last riverline to Camden is at 9:05, arriving in Camden at 10. I got to Trenton at 9:35. So I missed it. And I didn't take that into account. And I wouldn't hear the end of it from my father.
This isn't going to be a bitching entry. I'm just aggravated that I got directions from a cop that were wrong. No way in hell was my dad coming to get me, screw that. Nick Midiri came and got me. You see, he's what we call a true friend. Not jsut cause he came to Trenton to pick me up, but because he is there for me. And I'll be there for him when he needs it. I don't think I can say that for many people, since most just flat out don't deserve it.
Please don't mistake me for being angry or bitter. Don't assume the simple. I'm just reinforced in my preconceived notions that you can't count on people, ever. I also don't like it when people say they will call you later on, and don't. Either call and say you don't want to do what you said you did, or be a big boy or girl and say you don't want to. I don't eat bullshit. Fuck yourself if you think I don't know any better.
On a lighter note, I had lunch with Jess Martino. It was good to see her. Also, while I was stuck in Trenton, I see Marlen Diaz walk by me, like one foot in fron of me while sitting on the bench. And we talked until she caught her 10:49. That girl is one the top five beautiful girls I will ever see in my life. (Carl, ATHF) Ooooooh GAWD!

[Current Music |Weezer - Say It Ain't So]

So I'm pretty excited about coming home this Friday. I miss my friends, my dogs, and my family. I also miss Wawa. I'll consider Wawa part of the family. I have threee exams all on the same day-Thursday. Why does that suck? You know why- cuz I can't get one out of the way, Tuesday, for instance, and then concentrate on the remaining two. What do I have to say to that? GAY. That's right.
Although I'd really liek to see my friends from high school and home in general, I know it won't happen. It's the truth. You lose contact. To everyone who said "oh no not me, not the class of 2004 we're special we're gonna keep talking to each other" well we're not. Is it wrong? No, I don't think so. Yeah some people purposely are dicks and don't associate themselves with you or give you the cold shoulder, it's obvious and it's shitty. But for the most part, normal losing contact just fucking happens. You have so many friends and relationships in high school, then you graduate and you keep in contact with what, 3 people? It just blows man.
There's a couple other things I really wanted to get off my mind, can't seem to remember them now. Next time then.
Where is she? I'll just have to keep searching.

Hello [Feb. 27th, 2005|01:57 am]
[Current Mood | okay]
[Current Music |Straylight Run - Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway)]

I never get to update but that's cool right?
So today stunk. Actually no jsut one aspect. The buses that took the RU GLee CLub and Kirkpatrick Choir are supposed to leave at noon from a different campus. University buses run every hour on the weekends. So I'd have to catch it by around 11 am to travel all the way to Cook/Douglass in time to be there by 11:30-11:45 like Dr. Gardner wanted us to be. Alrite. SO I wake up at 9 am, plenty of time... let me lay back down right? WRONG next thing I know my phone is ringing, I have no idea who was calling me, but I saw it was 11:58. I call my maestro and I'm like dude I'm fucked someone ahs got to come pick me up on Busch. And he's like "aww what?! we're on the bus right now we're leaving."
In case you don't know, which you won't because communication between me and everyone else like fails hardcore cuz we're all busy, um.. oh I forgot where I was going with it all. We're singing at Carnegie Hall this Wednesday, and we went to NYC today to rehearse with all the groups: Glee Club, Kirkpatrick Choir, and RIverside Choral SOciety(they're not part of Rutgers I guess our director also works with them but they're in New YOrk I think, I don't even know.) All I know is that we're all singing together, and it's pretty sweet. THe sound is absolutely amazing. We're singing about a 25-30 min movement called GLoria, it's sweet ass. It's all in Latin too so it sounds sweet ass.
YO, so I missed the bus of course, had to get dressed, wait for a bus to get to College Ave, get a ticket for New YOrk/Penn station, then take two subway cars to get to where I needed to be. I got off at Newark/Penn Station. IDIOT. So the next train that came by I jsut got on it like fuck if they make me buy anotehr ticket I'm screwed. Then I bought a metrocard for the subways cuz the lady said I couldn't transfer subway cars without purchasing two swipes on this stupid card. She ended up being a liar. I got off one subway car, walk across the playform and get on the other one I needed to with no problem. What a cunt!
So I was hungry and tired and thirsty, but I made it through the rehearsal of what I made. I was like an hour late. I was so embaressed. But I really felt a lot older going into New York by myself and all. It is so confusing, SO CONFUSING, the train station in New York and the subway directions, oh man. That's alright, last night was a good night. I had to help a friend in need (puking his brains up) and needless to say, sleeping at 5:50 am wasn't too good a thing to be doing.
Today is also my birthday. Caitlin Dunican said she was going to call and she never did! Boo to her for being a little queef. I think I'm going to end it here tho.
Spring break March 10th-20th in case any of you cared.

SO its 8:15 and I have accomplished like jack shit. This is a quiet Sat and Sun for me. Jay and Clyde, two friends of mine, went home for the super bowl, Malena went home to work. Me and Kwame might watch a movie I guess. Why am I even talking about, that who gives a shit about minute details? Fuck.
Anyway, I thought of this while I was eating today in the dining hall, and the topics arent even related. I've always wanted to express this in written form. When it's Christmas day, it REALLY pisses me off how everyone is away with their Away Message saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!" Like thank you ms. obvious. or if Easter... "HAPPY EASTER!!" Give me a break, be original man. And I still hate it when people are out and they say "cell it." YOu deserve to be smacked right in your anal hole. Yeah, that'd hurt a whole hell of a lot wouldn't it?
I'm watching MTV U right now. What's up with Nas and his dad like being together now and shit? His dad plays a pocket trumpet, that's pretty damn cool. On this channel they surprised a black music college with guest speakers Nas and his dad. They just walked in and were like yo whats up, and these kids in a jazz room were like WHOA. I know I'd be. Then Alu (his dad) tells the one kid to play something on the sax, then tells the other kid "play something that sounds good with that", and they start improvising. one kid tries to rap and stinks so he gives it to nas, and then he starts saying shit. i thought it was cool. if they went to pennsauken high and did that I'd be like oOoOOoOoOooOoh.
Hold on, why do we have black colleges? We can't have white colleges or asian colleges, yet black colleges exist? That's racist. They should be demolished. It's one of the things black people can get away with, no offense but it's really ridicilous and separatist. I'm gonna go play the trumpet and also maybe read. Now it's 8:26. I'm lonely no one's around.

Im looking forward to the snow storm this Sat only bc I don't have a car, and I'm held captive on campus so I don't have a true need to go anywhere. If you want to be daring... come up and visit while my roommate is gone for the weekend sick at home!! If you're gay you can't come. Sike just kidding no one come.
