um says 2 "not nice" words at the beginning, you may want to turn it up when the music starts
ew, is he wearing eye liner or mascara? (how do you spell it?)
i think its tat'd on. he's ALWAYS had the eyeliner...even when i met him here at the office he had it on so i assume its tatt'd.
i love him like this...back in the 80's w/hair...SO HOT

you met mike ness? that's pretty sweet.
If only I had more time
If I had Mike Ness' hairline
then you'd want to be with me
ah goldfinger, ridin on the coattails of mike nessy's hairline
any fun plans for monday people? i'll be in denville at the tymons. :)
we should definetely go to the beach.
Oo Beach!
See, I wanted to do the beach too but Sloan and Dylan are gonna be up and I haven't seen them in like well over a year now. Soo instead we're going out and purchasing some slip n' slides.
I have to put about a grand into my car this week between new brakes and maintenance. That hurts. What doesn't hurt is going out in service 6 hours before coming into work for 4 hours. Well it hurts my wallet, but not much else.
last july i invested a little money in the stock market, and less than a year later it's gone up 25%
biggest mistake? not jumping on apple when it was about $50 a share (i thought it was too expensive) it's at $113 today. I did buy some at $88 though...
that's awesome! i really should invest some money :/
at least i'm getting 5.05% at Emigrant Direct in savings.
i'm using ameritrade.
and yeah, emigrant direct is awesome
not anymore it isn't...
www.dollarsavingsdirect.com was the new hottness for a while (same company as Emigrant), but they just dropped their rate to 2.5%. I think they're still the highest around, though.
emigrant's back up to 3%.... not bad
no, it's at 2.05%. you're probably looking at the CD rate
ah
anybody know of any helpdesk people looking for work? my company is in need of somebody in their parsippany office. ez msg me
you know justin interviewed for that specific job, right?
i'd do it but i just got a new job that i'm super stoked about
NICE! where are you working now?
oh i start my new job on Tuesday so right now i'm still at my current job.
I got hired at Staples Corporate office! The job is more money and I'll be supporting the group of people Lauren is part of. Which is weird because we'll work in the same office and commute together. But everyone at her job leaves at exactly 5 pm, so she's home at 5:12. That means I'll get an extra hour of my life back every day, because right now i get home at 6:15.
1 hour per day = 5 hours per week = 250 hours/yr = 10.3 days! holy crap that's awesome!!
oh plus it's more money and no travelling. haha.
grats on the great job dude!
thanks man, yo when are we meeting up already, are you aroudn monday?
WOW thats SO rad!!! congrats hun!!! now will you guys be seeing a lot of ea other? are you cool with that? i dont think i would be able to work w/my hubby...i'd get sick of seeing him. LOL jk but seriously i dont think i could do it. i admire ones who do.
*are plans still on for sept?
yeah still on we're there the 31st of August until the 10th of Sept. We'd like to meet up with you - when are you free? maybe we could go to San Diego or somewhere else cool? Lauren and I were planning on taking a drive North for a few days during that week, come back toward the end of the week.
sounds awesome!! we'll def coordinate something. san diego is DEF a must...i love it there!
I'm hoping that maybe now the rest of us could see them....
you see us all the time, you're always coming to our meetings and going to the movies with us
thats sooo not true.... when was the last time i was there? and we only went to the movies together once!
I don't think you all know this, but my cat (PoPo) is famous on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI2SYQyd4xg
i brushed all 4 cats in my house today and then vacuumed. baddd idea. now one of my eyes is smaller than the other one. guess i aggrivated my allergies.
yesssssss! sometimes sisters are nice. jewy brought me my glasses so i could take out my contacts.
philly scares me way more than ny: http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=local&id=5323544
yeah dude NYC is crime free comparing to gayadelphia
gunadelphia
KILLadelphia
lol kam you crack me up!!!
I'm not gonna lie. I cracked up, too.
it seems like there's a really bad problem with gun crimes there. i hear about shootings almost every day on the news.
why must some peeps feel the need to drink and party like a rock star at an all day outdoor concert when its 100 degrees out? like there was one chick that was passed out and threw up on herself by the time the main stage bands started at 3. so lame.
Gross =(
You're so right. What makes me laugh is how the same people will go out and gloat about their ridiculous behavior.
its so ridiculous....like you're ruining it for others around you cause of the smell...THEN you ruin it for your friends because then THEY have to leave the concert and tend to you...its just all around wrong. why pay $100+ for a ticket and then drink yourself silly that you dont remember? pay me a $100, i'll put it to good use! LOL
i threw a "wild party" while my parents were away. this weekend i had the elders and pioneers over for a greek bbq. our oldest elder who is about 87 years old was sitting in a wicker rocking chair and it broke! i was so embarassed that i actually walked away.
OMG was he ok? *at first i read that as "our widest elder" LOL
ha! he's like 6'3" and skinny. he wasn't hurt thankfuly. he is really cool. he's a photographer and he plays the accordian. he and my grandfather were in rival country western bands.
WOW! Where's the closest Busch Gardens here, in like Virginia? Wonder if it has the same attractions. Looks cool anyhow luv roller coasters =D
Hmmmmm
the territory that belongs to my congregation covers a fairly wide area.
The location where we are currently meeting (although still in the territory) is actually more than 1/2 an hour from the town for which our congregation is named.
Wondering if I should limit my apartment hunting to where our hall is going to be, or include areas close to where we are currently meeting =/
thoughts???
hm, well if it's just an apartment, you can always move once the hall is finally built. it sounds like it could still be years, right? i'd say move closer to the hall now, save gas.
UUUUGGGGH
Yeeeah, if this makes it past it's pilot I'd be surprised...but then again I was surprised that it was even a concept, eh =/
HAHA thats not hilarious
how did this become a show...
OMG this has potential to be the most ridiculous 30 minutes on tv
I can't wait
Yeah weird I'm kind of thinking the same things. I'm also doing pushups.
OMG im SO with you....stupid!
i think brotherman just discovered YouTube!
Dude it's sweet!! Don't know what I was missing!!
the light fixture above my head just exploded. my mind went back to when i lived in paterson and heard gunshots outside my apartment. ah memories!
i can't wait to get my new "granny" glasses! dark red with rhinestones-very 50s.
pics?
i will. after i get them. i can't remember the brand.
Is it Dr. Peepers? Cause I actually have a pair that sound very similar except that mine are black.
definitely not. it was one word. and i think it started with a b.
ps. i had to read your comment a few times. i thought it said mr. peepers aka chris kattan.
Hahaha good ole' SNL!
At the event that we had last night there was a lot of excitement.
Early yesterday afternoon, our original speaker for the program (the author of the book In Her Shoes) Jennifer Weiner, had to cancel.
After a lot of string pulling and some last minute calls Mia Farrow accepted to speak in Jennifer's absence.
People were actually very impressed and pleasantly surprised.
Mia Farrow is refreshingly personable she came in the front entrance of the hotel, didn't have any security, spoke freely and openly with many before and after the program ended.
I wasn't aware of so much of what she discussed; personal illness, adoption issues, her upbringing. Fortunately she didn't feel it necessary to mention her former husband, it woul've detracted from the frogram anyhow, she's a pretty classy lady =)
Where do I find the list of dates for District Conventions?
they were in a KM.. not sure what month...
Cuz I'm gonna be in FL the week of ours.
its always in the feb issue of the watchtower. but for some reason this year it was late. but you can find it in the back of the march 1 2007 watchtower. its the one that says "does it matter which religion you choose?"
Cool. Thanks.
OH, the WT, duh
no, it's always printed in March issue, but whatever heh. The only thing different this time is only US dates were printed, when different countries dates are printed as well.
i like the home page having everything back on it again. much better than just news, because noone really posted news stories.
IAWTP
when you're down and looking for some cheering up, then just head right on up to the candy mountain cave, when you get inside you will find yourself a cheery land, such a happy and joy filled and perky merry land
they've got lollipops and gummy drops and candy things, oh so many things that will brighten up your day, it's impossible to wear a frown in candy town
LOL! Can't say I've ever heard this but, as I was reading it there was an advertisement for Hershey Park's 100th anniversary "making people deliriously happy" WOOooooooo!
off to floridy for 10 days! i'll let you know how the crocodile tastes.
Hmmmm just got off from work @ like 10:30 just eating NOW =(
Just a light snack. My energy level is now down in the gutter.
There's a stark contrast between being awake late because I'm restless verse being awake late because I worked from 9AM to 10:30PM.
I am now anticipating getting up at 9AM knowing at least two people from my department are already taking "comp days" = LOTS of EXTRA work coming Baby's way =/
ekulu?!
Scrubs season 3? Purchased!
amy winehouse, hotter then, or now? (tatted up and anorexic is now)
oof, she looks pretty bad now
i think she kinda looks like a man in both pics.
yea. but her current state really worries me. she looks like she wont' be around to record her next album.
i hate how she does her eye makeup now. its just so extremely ridiculous. like yes i do too enjoy cat eyes or egyptian inspired makeup but not that much. they were playing her songs on grey's anatomy the other day though. and that i did support
I'm ready to blind myself...
Maybe both, only if I was really really hungry.
haha what??
she's really small. i think she has a great face for radio.
I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with Yay's analysis on the situation. And Corey's too.
wretched. girls got it rough.
yiugtchkt to both phases. I guess she couldn't find a middle ground. Besides that I think she has a noncutesy face. Let's post pictures of Dido... she's hot.
My computer at work yesterday was being such a pain.... hardly got any work done and I wanted to catch up on work to make up for being out sick on Tuesday. Now today and tomorrow is gonna be sooo crammed with getting work done. Our productivity at work is heavily looked at & if we're falling short could very well be fired from the job altogether. hrmmm. worries worries
they should just put her on house arrest...so lame
Paris Hilton is already getting a break -- she's going to serve "about 23 days" in a "special needs" unit, officials said yesterday, about the half the time she was sentenced to in her conviction.
Her sentence was shortened for "good behavior," which apparently includes just showing up for her last court date. L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said she'll be staying in a two-person cell reserved for "high-profile" inmates, and that she'll have at least an hour a day to shower, watch TV, play outside, or gab on the phone.
Paris will also be separated from the general inmate population.
Actually being apart from dirtbags and losers will probably hurt her a lot more than being taken away from tv or phone.
true...but it says that shes going to be away from the "general inmate pop." she needs to rough it out! lol
I'm at my doctor's office yesterday and he has a cork board with jokes and comics on it. There was one with two naked people standing at their front door and it said: "I bet those Jehovah's Witnesses will never come back here again."
Only Jehovah was spelled without the second 'h' which annoyed me to no end.
From an article description on the NY Times Education Section:
"More than half of high school seniors still showed poor command of basic facts like the effect of the cotton gin on the slave economy or the causes of the Korean War."
Um...I could probably talk about the cotton gin one but I couldn't even tell you what decade the Korean War took place.
I'm stuck in the 80's in a whole Dirty Dancing faze I keep referring to mysel as Baby SQUEEL
kam, how's the fire? is it totally contained?
i'm actually on fire right now!!!
ha no it rained a lot overnight and i think it's like 70% contained right now and expected to be totally out today
kamilia esta ardiendo...la chica caliente! LOL
akon's real name is Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam. how crazy is that.
What is he, like African or Hatian or I dunno something close to 1 of those? A luv his music!
oh my god i would rather stab my self to death than listen to his crappy music.
I like the song Don't Matter. Not quite sure about what I think of his overall style & talent, I'd have to hear more of his work.
Did you forget to close a tag? haha. I'm reading all these "bold" musings now.
Let's see if I can close the tag here
Oops =O
smack that, blah blah blah blah, smack that
This was clearly payback 4 me getting Fergalicious stuck in ur head =P U PUNK
Now I'm walking again

This eye that I eat

The building of destiny

my co-worker did up Ashlee Simpsons tattoo like at 3 this morning
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f49/coronita714/ashleesimpson.jpg
its kinda blurry cause they were told by the PR peep since she wasnt wearing make-up they couldnt take pics...but he stole one w/a camera phone anyway. lol
even with makeup she is ugly so dunno what they are worrying about
send it to perezhilton.com
i think he's sending it to TMZ.com
the parental units left for a vaca yesterday and I've been contacted by my grandmother and all my aunts and uncles to call them if I need them or come over if I get hungry. I guess they forget I lived on my own for three years and I know how to survive without my parents.
LOL parents will ALWAYS be parents!!! you getting ready for your trip?
*i tried finding some peeps you could meet up with by my mexicans dont have family or friends in that area. im sorry :(
uhhhhhh so i'm getting a leeeeeeeettle nervous about this fire
tons of peopel are getting evacuated
and it's totally out of control
and it's not good
and it was supposed to rain today and it's totally not raining at all and it's way hot out
wowee
Time to get out the marshmellows...
I saw on the local news that they even evacuated nursing homes over there! Come on over to Vineland-nothing is burning down here.
I heard this afternoon that it was 35% under control. :/ Hopefully that's the 35% by you.
btw, is it smoky outside? can you take some pics?
yeah the wierd thing it is not really smoky here
the wind is blowing north i guess?
but our meeting is cancelled for tonight - our kingdom hall is by the Parkway by exit 58 which is a bad area :( i hope our brand new hall will be ok :(
I could smell the smoke in Bayville last night. Actually, I was cleaning my apartment with the windows open and letting it all in. I didn't realize the pine barrens were on fire. I thought a belt on my vacuum was burning. When I took my trash out last night I could even see the smoke in the air.
wow it's that far up huh, crazy
Supposedly everyone north of the fire reports of a really bad smell. I wonder what was burnin'
I could smell the smoke in Bayville last night. Actually, I was cleaning my apartment with the windows open and letting it all in. I didn't realize the pine barrens were on fire. I thought a belt on my vacuum was burning. When I took my trash out last night I could even see the smoke in the air.
ugh double post. how annoying
OMG KAM!!! how far is it from you again?
i thought it was a couple miles north of us but it seems to be closer now? I don't know. I can't find a definite answer anywhere. And I was just out and about and there really wasn't any smoke, just like a white cloudy type look but not really any black smoke.. i don't know what's going on the media is messing with me
maybe its contained more so than the media is letting on? i would think there would be smoke? catalina island was on fire last weekend nad we got ALL the smoke and ashes and thats like a good 2 hour boat ride from us (dont know miles)
It's raining like CrAzY up here. The sky is practically black and I had to run to my car to roll up the windows I left cracked. My pants are soaked and I feel like a wet rat =(
I wish I could send you all some rain u 2 Kam like REALLY.
2 more hours of straight data entry. BORING!
no more doggies allowed on the beach for a while unless i wanna drive an hour to walk my dog which is.. not.. the coolest
i vote to abolish this rule
WOW why? are peeps not caring for the doggies?
who knows, that's just the law I guess, NJ is stupid!
There are SEVERAL signs that say "ABSOLUTELY NO DOGS ON THE BEACH BETWEEN MAY 1 AND OCTOBER 1" and all this crap
"STRICTLY ENFORCED"
blah!
New Mad Caddies album is good stuff.
Somebody upload it!
Don't have access to the ftp, someone else will have to.

Geico Caveman Show
these are words that I never thought I'd type...
http://www.wxyz.com/news/story.aspx?content_id=13eab7e9-1dca-424e-ac19-b72bf81e04cd
So George Lopez, not as funny as a caveman??? I think the man is hilarious =(
So he's unbderstandably upset:
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=entertainment&id=5308334
haha... he's trying to play the race card. i've seen bits and pieces of his show, didn't seem very funny at all to me. although the caveman thing doesn't look like a winner either.
as chris griffin said in family guy... "the television show George Lopez only furthers the stereotype that George Lopez is funny."
going to work early on humpday is terrible. nothing to do but make videos!
Found out a studio's up for sale on the block I lived on nearly 3 years ago. I wanna buy it so bad
Ideal setting for studying the Watch Tower ... The square's private garden
Nice, have you gone to check out the inside yet? Surroundings look promising.
Nope. If it's still for sale next time I go to London maybe I'll look at it. I know this square though, it's where I lived as a renter. That garden is in the middle of the square that only residents of the square have access to. And Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are like a 10 minute walk. The Kingdom Hall is a 3 minute walk. A Book study group is 5-7 minute walk. The shopping mall w/ cinema, pub, internet cafe, are a 30 second - 1 minute walk. Central line tube is 8 - 10 minute walk and you get to the West End theatres and cinemas in no time. Spanish cafe is 5 minute walk. Austrian pub is 5 minute walk. Portobello Road market is 10 minute walk. I mean besides being a beautiful setting, it's an ideal location.
Nice! You don't need a car.
Exxxxxxxxactly. I think I spent like $60 a week on transport in London. In NJ I'm spending like $100 a week on gas and a little over a hundred a month on car insurance. So, it's like $240 a month for the tube in London versus $500 a month driving a car in New Jersey. Ironic isn't it? You'd think London would be the more expensive one. But nope. Not in this case.
There's pictures of inside the flat posted on the internet, but I didn't post them 'cuz there's nothing special about the inside... it's just a studio.
this looks mad 'spensive
Today has definitely had some good points and some not so great points.
At first I learn that a close family friend has had a massive heart attack, the not so great.
In this area all anyone can do is wait, just wait and see =(
On the positive I learn my Russian accent is on point =)
Also on the positive a couple from my hall that never got to enjoy a formal wedding reception we're throwing a surprise anniversary.
I've volunteered + been assigned to decorate!!!!
This will be the closest I get to design and execute anything even remotely close to an actual wedding for now. Anyhow, I'm excited and I already have a concept using the colors the sister originally had planned for her actual wedding. Additionally the fact that I really honest to goodness LOVE this couple I'm can't wait to surprise them =)
I'm sorry to hear about your family friend :(
But the surprise anniversary party sounds so great! That's so sweet. I'm sure she'll be ecstatic.
my town is on fire
O BARNEGAT!
yeah i didn't know how badly it spread and we're watching the news.. and they show a map.. and it says Little Egg Harbor and a huge picture of a giant FLAME next to it. And chris and I look at each other and say... uhh.... should we be worried?
haha it's so funny i guess if it was really bad somehow we would be told to evacuate? i duno
