Happy Monday
by My company moved from the 3rd floor to the 1st over the weekend. This is like our 5th move in the same building. We're in a very very tight space now. Basically, we can't hire any new employees or they'll have to sit in closets or something. hehe
In other news, this site's pretty dead recently, huh?

THANK GOODNESS!!! that show was only good the first 2 seasons....like in a lame way but then it just became unbearable to watch...i think i stopped watching after the 2nd season. now if you want real OC drama watch Laguna Beach...those little bitties make you want to slap them! LOL
NOOO
How could this happen to meeee?
The OC's been over ever since Mischa Barton's been gone as far as I'm concerned
o i forgot to mention last week we had dinner at someone's house and it was an extra special occasion becauseeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... they had a turducken!!!
it was so interesting
we had talked about getting one for a REALLY long time and i have been fascinated with the stuffing of a chicken inside of a duck, and the duck inside of a turkey
so now i can say i have eaten a turducken
we even got a cake that said "Happy Turducken" on it hahaha
My car's in the shop today, so I brought the DS to play while I ate lunch. Bad idea. Tetris is beckoning me from my drawer...

how much to you want for them.
They might be too big for me i normally wear a 9
they are 9.5 mens, I'm only asking what I paid for them. Something like 200 ish. I gotta look it up for the exact price.
I'll pass, they are going to be a little too big.
i don't like broken ankles.
you should go to a snowboard shop and try on a pair, dude. Then get back to me. There are inserts for your ankles
Size 9.5 women's or men's?
so I have my performance appraisal today at 4 and I am stressing about it.

plus, this kind of stuff happens ALL THE TIME and this time i was quick enough to go and grab the camera. I had to look for it too I missed a good 2 minutes of the beginning of the song. hahaha
it was just all pented up from the assembly huh? they finally exploded. haha

District Convention: Jersey City
August 24-26
brooklyn july 4th weekend what what! bk in the hizouse! And we found out yesterday, probably the earliest in the country top that!
uh dude i got you beat by over one month
the official announcment isn't supposed to be till the week of the first, check the km
I think it says "the service meeting" the week of the first.
That's also the most packed because a lot of people have off from work that friday; No parking, tight seating.
really? maybe you guys are actually with us this year. ya know, seeing as how we share the hall.
wow, i wonder if this means no more philly?!
I would be so happy just to hear the words "no more philly"
hmm i can't wait to find out where ours is
it better not be at Turnersville a.k.a. snorefest, that assembly hall is so boring! After going to Stanley Theater most of my life nothing else compares
I mean it's a nice assembly hall and perfect for its purpose but NOTHING compares to Stanley Theater!
stanley theater is NOTHING compared to newburgh
newburgh has seats like a brand new movie theater, with extra leg room
wow wow i must check it out. Yeah, leg room would be nice at the Stanley.
haha, maybe they should renovate ..
that was a JOKE, people.
Newburgh has the greatest seats ever.
newburgh is the most comfortable hands down, but as to beauty and artistic merit, nothing beats the stanley. not even all the granite in newburgh.
what's wrong with philly? i always liked philly, easy drive there, new clean facility, air conditioning, plus you're in a city with stuff to do after
I loathe Philadelphia. I'm not sure why. At first when I moved down here I kinda liked Philly but i just thought, eh, I like New York better. And I loved living close to NYC and just being able to go there any time. And I think I started to miss that more and more. And now, i have actual hate for philly. I don't really know why. Maybe it's all the reports of murders and "city in crisis" specials on the news. Maybe it's because the news people for Philadelphia are dumb and annoying. I really don't know why I hate it so much but I just do! If I never have to step foot in Philadelphia again, I'll be happy.
New York has structure to me, I know it pretty well, and I like the subway system even. Philadelphia annoys me. I don't know it, and I don't like it. haha.
is it rational? NO! Do I hate the ask the question and then answer it yourself kind of speaking? YES! Do I do it? YES. Why? I don't know.
hahaha... too funny
no it's true, philly is nothing compared to nyc, every thing closes early and is closed on sunday unlike nyc, it's impossible to find even a deli open sunday morning. plus the bums are so annoying in philly. but i do think it's a good place for a convention, plus there's always fresh prince of bel air reruns and at least 3 will smith movies on tv at any given time
hahaha true, true
yeah i think it's just because I love New York and I'm so far from it :(
well it's a good thing you're going to reading then, cuz ya know... reading... come on, serious metropolis right there
yeah. BUSTLING.
haha
Hahaha - I feel the same way. A couple from our hall keeps asking us to go to the Philly art museum with them, and I don't think I can because I miss the Met so much. There's just no place like New York. :(
my mom says there's some pretty great museums in philly though... i'd like to check em out
the Philadelphia museum of art is as good as the met. the Rodin exhibit they have is awesome...and they got those steps that rocky ran up in rocky 1.
my mom says that too. this one's her fave: http://www.collphyphil.org/mutter.asp I haven't been there yet.
I have been to the mutter museum, its actually a very interesting museum, if your into medical things and stuff... It was a studying museum for all those learning about the medical field and for surgeries and stuff, but now its outdated for that, so they just turned it into a straight medical museum...
I was just there yesterday. Cezanne to Picasso exhibit is almost over-you should try to make it there if you haven't yet. I especially liked the Americans in Paris exhibit. (Oh and on a sidenote: I saw Ethan Hawke there with his children. Hello hottie!!)
IMO cities, are nasty. Except LA was pretty cool.
First year since I've been alive my Cong. won't be assigned to a Convention in Philly. 'Twill be quite a change. We got the announcement of Jersey City tonight. It was a funny sight watching everybody turn to each other, like ... wha?? wow .. . hmmm wow
Mine is Jersey City, NJ -
May 25th - 27th.
My friend Steve is getting married that Friday evening - I'm in the wedding
That weekend is the Senior PGA Championship - I'm supposed to be there - (Kiwa Island, South Carolina)
Perhaps I can clone myself.
Mine is Jersey City, NJ -
May 25th - 27th.
My friends Kristi & Garrett are getting married that Saturday - I'm not in the wedding, but am invited to it.
I guess they thought they were good when the dates were choosen because who ever had an district convention that early? Oh well... I guess I will be visiting your convention Ian, Sat def... Sun, depends how the wedding goes...
Jersey City
August 17-19th
Yup. Same here.
Really? That's kind of odd..
Nah. The shuffling that's going on is HUGE. I can't wait to see all the old and new peoples.
ours is ALWAYS in the LBC (long beach convention center) just a matter of finding out what day.
Ours is in Reading, PA August 10-12
Reading, PA
where is that..
okay it kind of has a little bit of personality and looks, so that's good
if we're gonna have to spend a weekend in a city i've never seen before it better at least have something interesting to look at hahaha
that is FARRRR... i drove out there once, took like 3 hours
OMG i could not imagine having DC 3 hours away. ours is only 15 mins. away
I think Hackettstown - Reading is probably closer to 2 hours or less. It's only about 50 minutes from me.
Mine is in Reading July 6,7,8.
60 miles northwest of Philly. Strangely enough, the first year I don't get assigned to Philly and get assigned Jersey City instead, I might be moving to Philly, the first year there's no Philly Conventions and wind up going to Reading Convention. Ironic.
we're in Reading sometime in August. I've been away so I have to get the dates from someone tomorrow.
Wow... it will be 6 years since I have been an ezabel member this year... where has the time gone... what happend to the random musings on the front page...
haha, the random comment.. forgot about that. good times
I made it into the official maine house polar bear club! chilly.
i finally purchased an ipod!! i know im behind in times. LOL
you'll never go back. i look at my CD collection and chuckle every now and then. i remember carrying my CD case around and fearing losing it. this is the way. although... some folks might endorse zune or that new samsung dealy.
yeah im so tired of that, carrying the CD case, etc. there's like CD's all over my car too! i cant wait. i got an awesome price on it too!!!
I remember the fear of losing CDs too. I remember thinking, "It's no big deal if my car is stolen, but my CDs, oh, I'll never be able to replace those." It's peace of mind knowing they're waiting on an SD card on my desk at home for whenever I might miss them.
Monkey hates technology
Robot hates the monkey
Oh man!! LOL! That was hilarious when the Robot threw the Monkey off the building.
the dude from SNL who did Lazy Sunday made this. i like him. maybe i'll just BE him-- by wearing his skin on my face!

it doesnt matter. im still pretty.
UGH why must vacations fly? i dont want to be here today!!
Waaa...Suck it up!!
hahahaha a little bitter i got time off?? lol
*how was it without the kiddlings???
Maybe.
Boring. I have no life without them. No one likes me. Haha...
awwww really? i thought you mentioned you had a new lady friend??
i think he meant boyfriend....
Shutup! Or I'll tell everyone what you and Alex do in the bathroom at Centenary. Hahahahahaha.....
Sort of. We're kind of just friends right now. It's a long story.
i hope its a good long story with possibly a good ending?
I thought I was going to be all refreshed after having extra days off. and today I want to do even less than I normally do at work.
i dont think you can ever refresh! esp on vacation....you get a taste of the "sweet" life! haha
If your service overseer continually has the announcement made that the group meets for service Monday through Friday at 9 (Thursdays by arrangement) is it so silly to assume that if one were to go up to the hall on say...Tuesday there should be someone there to go out in service with?
hmm .. no, it's not silly.
Yeah, I'm feeling kind of frustrated now maybe a tinsy bit discouraged because I was all excited that I was going out and doing the right thing. I would have just slept in this morning a little.
I think the Belvidere cong only meets M-W-F, with no planned group tuesday and thursday. That must really be bad too. Even if no one showed, at least Jehovah knows you've tried. I was the only one a couple times, then a car group showed up like half an hour late, saying they'd gone out to breakfast. It's when you have to remind yourself we're an organization of imperfect people. :|
Maybe I should have waited longer...but I know Tuesday used to be a small if sometimes non-existant group. That was years ago, though, and I thought at least a brother would be there to take the group out if they keep saying that there is service on Tuesdays! Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays tooons of people go out, so I guess I'll just try again tomorrow.
And I did try :) So yaaay.
well, i think i am officially too old for video games. i pulled a muscle in my side playing wii. ouch. hey, but i can swing that cow farther than anyone!!
lol, this is what happens when you get too into it. my mom hurt her shoulder, and mikayla was sore for a bit too. both from BOWLING. hehe
hmm, now that i think about it, maybe you are too old. next time, put on a helmet and have a walker handy. you're gonna need it.
btw, i love the sounds the cow makes as he's flyyyying
my arm KILLS from playing bowling pretty much all weekend
i think you guys need to exercise... you are sore from playing VIDEO GAMES!! do you realize the retardedness of that statement!?
La La la LA! Too busy to read ... So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen ajou lol!
i have seen the light, i played the wii at a party last night and it was pretty sick. I think i might pick one of them up in a month or two

sorry for the sports, ian. I just respect these guys' abilities.
i don't really watch sports but i enjoyed that
Yayayayayayayay!!!!!
I got an A in Shakespeare!! Not even an A- but an A!
This is, notoriously, the hardest English class at Montclair and I got an A in it!
The prof. is a Nazi and she gave me an A on my final paper and told me it was great, smart, and that it was refreshing to read! And I got an A+ on my final (whereas I skirted failing the midterm).
I am dancing around the house right now!!!
Congratulations!!!
Alllright! you get a gold star for that
Why did I eat Taco Bell for lunch! It's ripping apart my inards....
A Zabel is a German two-stroke motocross engine, mostly used in sidecars.
a zabel is also something else. ask brandon, discoverer of "the zabel" and he'll tell you
haha, Like many others before him, they find it and think they can just name it after them. Un Be Lievableeeeee
Ok, so while the kids have been gone, I've come to realize what a HUGE part of me they really are. I could have been out doing whatever a single guy would be doing who doesn't have kids. I mostly have sat around or gone to the gym or work. The most exciting day was Monday. While everyone was enjoying Paganfest out in the world, I did a movie day. I need a hobby or a woman or something. Haha...
I'm bored.
One week without kids and I am bored. Bring back the craziness!!
I bet you wish you had a wii
I have a PS2 at home. Didn't even touch it. My will to play video games has faded away.
next will be your will to live. it all starts with video games dude. downhill from there.
I only have the will to work out now. Haha... My days of wasting countless hours playing Megaman and the likes is over. I've passed the torch to Jake.
I'm with you on that. The extent of my video gameplay these days is once in a while playing a few minutes on shockwave.com. Other than that, I haven't got a video game system newer than Super Nintendo and for that, I only have 2 games and haven't play in ages anyway. Videogaming has got way too costly for me. Plus it'd crowd out the time I spend watching television serials... haha j/k. Bottom line, it's costly and timeconsuming so I know what you're saying.
I'm too consumed being Mr. Mom. Ever since I got the kids full time, my game play has diminished. Now it's to the point where I don't care anymore.
yay is confusing me :( :( :(
"I'll tv screen your face you COLOR eating eye absorber"
best musing of the day, hands down. i think i peed myself, just a little.

I wsih i had a wrod rnmeodizar at my dsek
it looks like you need spellcheck
There's too many people out of my office this week. This is the conversation I just had with an attorney who's asking me to make a call in lieu of her secretary:
A: Diana, would you please call this attorney and tell him these depositions are canceled and this one will be rescheduled?
D: Sure. (calls the attorney, the secretary asks me why they're being canceled.) Why should I tell the attorney they're being canceled?
A: This is the message: two deps are being canceled and one rescheduled?
D: Right, but should I say why they're being rescheduled?
A: This is why: they're being canceled and one rescheduled.
D: Yes, but is there a reason they're being canceled? The secretary wants to know why.
A: They're being canceled. Do you want me to talk to her? I'll just talk to her.
Diana, the answer is obvious. They're being canceled, and one rescheduled. THAT'S WHY
I'll cancel you. in anything.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
this sounds like one of the attorneys i work with. She never gives the whole story and then when mistakes are made, or there are questions, she gets impatient and just does it herself. Why didnt she just do it in the first place??
Wanna know what's up? This site is severely antiseptic. It's like looking at tv screen of roaring static. COLORS! CARTOONS! CHICKS!
People who post from a Wii are nerds!!
why don't you go drive a car.
Weak.
Your post are people with wii nerds.
Punk rock sucks!! Bring it on!!
Is everyone on vacation or something this week?
There's been hardly any posts.
I'm only working two days this week. And by working, I mean I am going to the office and sitting at my computer. I'm trying hard not to do any actual work.
eZabel has been dead for like a month now. It's mainly because SpecialK, Juicymango and Socalgal seem to have gotten lives.
lol
wow so mean but yet so true!
I'll put a stop to that! Time to create some trouble. Hehehe....
wow are you saying eZabel is only worth it if you're at work? That is harsh
not in so many words.
eZabel > work
eZabel > boredom
eZabel < heidi klum
Not many things are better than Heidi Klum.
truedat
she's kind of annoying on interviews. I hate her accent.
i find her accent hot, it's a little naughty
angelina jolie is hotter. heidi klum is hot but she's got this weird lazy eye thing going on.
hahaha yeah socal is off for the week, right? I'll be back next week probably in full force. For a week or so. maybe longer. Watch out, here come boring stories and ramblings of an ADD weirdo
I am going to miss the tedisms.
g: who's lan is this?
b: it's a wan, baby.
g: who's wan is this?
b: ted's.
g: who's ted?
b: ted's dead, baby. ted's dead.
Hey knock knock, g, b, g, b and d, they goto a library right? They take out a book about posting comments on the internet, and they smack you in the finger with it.
do you have affection for me?
should i read this Ted story? i haven't taken the time to read it yet...
5-0's quote, not a true ted story.
It's true like all the death stories in the office.
HAHAHA yes i do have a life....but not mon - fri between 7 - 5.
Gangsta tea partay
This is really exciting: The receptionist in my office (who said she was in the truth when she was little, actually using the term "truth") asked if I can get her some books or brochures from the hall regarding generally what we believe and what the bible says for her son. I was so excited! I love it when people ask if you can get a book for them! She said something quickly about how she might ask her cousin for a study, then the office manager walked in, so I had to leave, but I'm so excited at the possibility! It would be so fantastic if she started to study and come to meetings again. Yeah!!!
Very cool! Work it.
Exhibit #3230965720243 on why i don't want kids. That dog is cute though.

hahaha
this is funny
"In fact, we love the Wii so much, we want to give a Wii to everybody on our payroll. To fund this Wii-for-the-People program, we're selling this Sony PlayStation 3.
Best of all, for every PS3 you buy, we can buy Wiis for two of our employees. So when you get frustrated by those intricate combo-button moves, or bored by the underwhelming game offerings for the PS3, keep the spirit of the season in mind. Remember all those happy Woot staffers whose lives have been changed by their super-fun Nintendo Wiis, paid for by you. Heartwarming, isn’t it?"
