Moving to NYC!
by So, I've taken a new job in the city, and the commute is 2 hours each way. Mikayla and I decided to try living in the city for a while.
We signed a lease on a new apartment in Battery Park City, which is in downtown Manhattan. Address: 70 Battery Pl, New York, NY.
Here's a video tour:
It's in a quieter part of the city, with lots of parks and bike paths. Tourists don't really visit the area, and it gets really really quiet at night.
The apartment is on the first floor in a nice nine-floor building with a doorman, elevators, roof access, a gym, bike storage, laundry on every floor, and a private terrace area with grass that is only accessible to tenants. There are 11 train lines within like a 15 minute walk, which is sweet! My commute to work will be a ten minute walk, and a 14 minute train ride on the R or W. There's also a bus to Union Square right there.
These two windows are our apartment:

Looks like we'll be in the South Manhattan Congregation, which meets at a Kingdom Hall right by the Brooklyn Bridge. We haven't visited yet, but we're planning on it soon! Definitely curious about the congregation and the territory.
So, we're moving on January 23rd. And if you want to come for a visit, please come any time! Just give us a little notice so we can figure out if we're around. There's an ice-skating rink right nearby for the winter. Let's go ice-skating!
BTW, we're selling both of our cars. 2006 Subaru Outback Limited is the first to go. ~$17k, 62k miles, full warranty. If you're interested, let me know!
It's gonna be crazy!

Page 3 of 7The kids and I in Central Park. I thought this was a cute picture.
Central Park, New York??
YOU SET FOOT INTO THE DEVIL'S LAND
ANNNND he took the kids too...exposing them to THAT environment...tsk tsk :P
The person who took the picture has corrupted me. Haha...
Although we went to the Museum of Natural History, so it was with purpose that we went. Central Park feels like you are not in the city.
until you get mugged or murdered. LOL
True. haha
i love central park tho. had the best time ice skating there.
Anyone see the new Iron Man trailer that was on with the Super Bowl? That movie looks sweet!
duuuude, welcome to like 3 months ago..
but yeah, i like the look of the movie, but i dunno if he can pull off the whole superhero persona...
That was new footage I've not seen before.
i think they showed the trailer before cloverfield. looks good but i just cant take robert downey jr as a "superhero". that might ruin it for me (even tho i love him)
hey, at least tom brady still gets to go home to this handsome..err.. pretty girl
all i can picture is her in her manly voice saying "what happened to 18-0 tom braaadyyy???"
haha
i don't care about sports but making fun of models, that is fun
haha wow. not a good pic of giselle.
This will probably get the Oscar. Movie and Actor.
TWBB, the INSTANT classic 'Milkshake' scene.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ThZI-p8SKe0
daniel day lewis is so crazy and intense, i love him
maybe i'm dead wrong but all the clips i've seen and heard seem corny and stupid
like any movie you've ever mentioned here isn't just that? lol. i guess since you're seeing the scenes out of context it appears such. that must be it.
32GB ipod touch!?! *drool*
for $499?? absolutely not! *puts credit card back in pocket*
Trying to play Jake's DS... I'm clueless at playing these new versions of video games.
the stylus pen is confusing.
what game?
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
ah, haven't played that. it's pretty new. you get the hang of it?
I just tried it today. Jake is the expert.
You should see him when we play Star Wars Battlefront.... He always picks me off. I can never get him. LOL! Never thought I'd see the day when my son would best me at video games.
awww kam/yay, member this?
hmm grey looks familiar
ah there we go a picture haha
yes
That is one dorky picture, man I can't wait to move there, wait I mean visit again
i cant wait till you guys come back out!!!
I wanna go there!
like HOW was the fireman SO sure he would catch that baby. so scary.
This is great... Europe is always ahead with technology...

hey giac when's your school/service meeting? does anyone around here have Wednesday?
either spanish or filipino meet on wednesday at my hall. not sure which one
uhm ok i only speak english, unfortunately
Mine are on Thursday's, sorry... but Chai's congregation has it on Wednesdays... I think it's East Passaic??
hmm ok i'll ask ... i also thought Chai went to bloomfield
are you trying to find another meeting so that you can watch lost?
NO. Lost has more talking than a bad episode of Dr. Phil. They need Jack Bauer to move the plot along a LOT faster.
i got a new car!!! not NEW but new to me! WOOOOT
awesome! what did you get?
Well, file this under.. things that only happen to ME:
I was making some lunch, a little salad with tuna... and i usually just put a little bit of mustard and balsamic vinegar.. and a TINY bit of mayo
and my hand was a little slippery because last time i bought tuna i accidentlay bought the tuna in OIL not in water, which i hate but whatever
soooooooooooooooooooooooo my hand was a little slippery reaching for the mayo
we have the mayo in the plastic container with the really big lid
and yep
it fell out of my hands, landed on the floor, opened, and a HUGE goop of mayo landed on my sneakers
HUGE GOOP OF MAYO
I literally yelled out ARE YOU SERIOUS
and Mastodon immediatly started licking the mayo ugh so gross gross
and i had to clean it up and threw my sneakers in the washing machine after i got all that i could off of them
GROSSSSSSSSS
RIGHT on my sneakers!!!!!
YOU SHOT ME! RIGHT IN THE ARM!
The wound is beginning to smell like almonds!
ewwwww. i HATE mayo. its the most grossest thing ever to me!!!
yeah i use like mayyybe a teaspoon for my tuna... i actually WASNT gonna use the mayo and then i'm like ehh why not and SLIPPADEEDOODAA
MAYO BOMB!!
This conjured up some bad memories working janitorial at shop-rite as a kid. Pretty full pallet of mayo tipped. NOT FUN
eek
I bought a PS3 last night. Anyone else have one?
sorry, wii here
Everyone has Wii's? I wanted one, but they're sold out everywhere and Jake wanted the PS3.
I have neither. My last console was Super Nintendo.
WOW i want one. i have xbox 360, ps2 but i think im going to get a wii next.
My hand may be forced to get a Wii too. Emily is ticked that I got the PS3. These kids cost me too much money. LOL!
I think I'll trade in all the PS2 stuff and get credit towards a Wii. The guy at Gamestop said I could get $30 for a PS2 console. Plus I have about 20 games. Then I'd pay less than $200 for the Wii. Then both kids are happy and I'm the best dad in the world. Alright.... good plan. LOL!
Lovely, so I just read that I can't play PS2 games on the PS3... Probably should not have assumed it would...
no, dude, im pretty sure you can. i think it just depends on the game. whether or not it's compatible or whatever.
In the latest models, they are phasing out PS2 compatibility to reduce costs.
PS3 blows... at least the 360 is backwards compatible with the majority of its Xbox titles....
the PS3 is a very impressive system. It just needs more good games.
I guess your right... the way I see it, its currently a glorified BlueRay player...
Sony's site says the 40GB version, which I have, doesn't play PS2 games.
the new lower priced sku of PS3 is NOTTT backwards compatible.
Xbox 360 & Wii for me... The only way I would get a PS3 is when I start wanting to watch BlueRay movies, because in comparison with the 360 that's the only true advantage.
sometimes i think about getting a 360 but i dont' have time to play what i have, never mind another whole system ...
Dude, its so worth it... Rockband alone makes it worth it....
i dunno. i have guitar hero 3 and i never play it.
i'd rather learn to play actual guitar and push myself to learn songs i like as opposed to playing it in a video game.
Well, you will get to learn the drums in Rockband... Its extremely fun, and a GREAT party game...
the drums in rock band are nothing like real drums. that's insulting.
its not supposed to be like the real thing... thats why its a video game
sheesh.
g.f.s said you could "learn to play the drums in rockband"
and on top of that, the game sucks. i saw some people playing it the other day...sooo gay.
ya know what else is gay?
you
what now brown cow?
how are they not like real drums? because it's not a complete set? or because they're pads? or because it's a video game? or because mike's fat?
i don't understand how you can say that hitting pads with sticks and pressing a pedal with your feet to a specific beat/pattern is not at all like drumming.
Try it and you tell me...
Hahaha... Good one Ian.
i think it could help someone learn drums, and i think somebody that plays drums would automatically be better at it than someone who doesn't. that said, playing real drums is harder
......and gets you more ladies
yeah, i guess it's like drumming, i just don't think that if you mastered every song on the rockband drums the skills would carry over to the real drums.
It wouldnt at all, but its like a practice stage before trying the real thing...
btw, Rock Band has been announced for Wii
Nice... now you can practice and see how good you are...
You def gotta buy yourself an HDTV now. It's such a huge difference when using a PS3
dude don't make him spend any more money if he doesn't want to!
I got a lot back in tax refunds. so I may get one if the price is right.
RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU EVER DROPPED A BUNCHA MAYO ON YOUR SNEAKERSSSS
heheh mango that made me laugh
lol :)
so what are the your favorite bars/lounges/restuarants in NYC or what have you heard about that you want to go to?
need new ideas
in the vain of nursebetty and the old Back Room
which were great places.
I found out about this place, Pravda last year... haven't been there. I'm looking for a group that wants to go with me. Very awesome looking Russian inspired place.
Check it out (very awesome!):
"Pravda is an underground Caviar Bar that prides itself in serving the best Cocktails and Martinis alongside Russian inspired food.
Also available are over 70 different Vodkas including 10 house infused flavored Vodkas.
This subterranean Russian speak-easy, tucked away at the edge of Soho, is the perfect choice for an intimate dinner, a late-night Martini or a gathering for a group of friends."
"Lafayette legend that's lost none of its classy sophistication despite the arrival of other hot spots in the area. Owned by Keith McNally who brought New York Balthazar, it's a two-floor subterranean space furnished in post-modern Soviet chic. Lamps that look like Russian street lights illuminate a curved cement ceiling, while diners and drinkers order caviar and cocktails from red banquettes or plush club armchairs. The whitewashed walls add brightness but the stainless steel toilets take us back to the good old USSR: chicken wire separates the stalls. Upstairs is more intimate for cosy chat. Caviar apart, the extensive dinner menu includes Russian delicacies like Blinis or Potato Pancakes with Smoked Salmon and their cocktail menu boasts over eight martinis. If martini's not your thing though, try the Bakunin - a spectacular Stoli vodka, GrandMarnier and fresh orange and lemon juice mix that we bet you couldn't get back in the good old USSR."

If anyone would like to get a group together and go with me, let us.

uhm, dude, yuppies are everywhere. they are even more prevalent in hoboken.
omg hoboken yuppies are the worst.
Hi my name is Thurgood winston Churchill the 4th. muahahah muahaha.
Lua is good in hoboken though.
i've heard about lua .. have to check that out
i hate the ones who are investment bankers or something else stupid. those are the ones who spend money like it's water and think they're living the high life because they live within walking distance of the PATH. puke.
my friends friend was wearing this shirt and made me laugh so hard:
more like beauty is in the eye of the QUEER holder!
why queer holder? are you queer when you're with someone ugly?
just making a dumb joke :)
awww im sorry. im sick so im not really "all here" today. lol
I just can't stand people who treat service workers with no respect.
Yelling at bartendars and waitresses when they gave you an extra ice cube.
Stupid.
So i ordered some new Burton boots through a hookup i have, and i figured for a pretty good price i could get the Driver X
they delivered it... to my DOORSTEP... and of course, they got stolen. So after calling like 4 times... i was getting no where, no refund and those boots were sold out. So i finally was like um ok, this is enough, i need this fixed TODAY. transferred around and then to another rep and after 1 min of talking the guy goes, ok, how about this, ill give you the SL-10's, a few t-shirts , gloves, AND a boarding jacket ALL for the same price...
so i get 450 dollar boots, plus a buncha other stuff all for 144.99... lol
AWWW yeah
What are these even for? Snow boarding? I didn't know you could lift your legs high enough to get them onto the board. hahahaha....
HAHAHAHA!

we should have an age limit on ezabel.. only people from 18 to 65... people like broman should be put in the eZabel retirement community, where they cant harm anyone.
Quit your whining... Is it that time of month for you today?

lol
HAHAHA
it's 80 degrees here. YES!
drew barrymore loves me
Eww... she has a huge chin
at least doesn't have seven chins like you, buddy.
You're an idiot
well at least im not fat...fatty
You have a fat head.
i know its finally warm here!! it was GORGEOUS beach weather over the weekend.
I'm sick and I have no heat... Lovely...
what happened to your heat?
its something that happens to older people... wrap up there grandpa and make some soup.
Well, I know your cellulite keeps you warm, but us normal sized folk don't have that kind of homemade insulation. ;oP
Ran out of oil. The landlord needs to send a truck over.
oil?
It's oil heat.
oil heat? you dont have a heater that you turn on like gas/electric? like installed in your house?
is that an east coast thing? *oil
it's oil heat... pretty standard...
electric, natural gas, oil....
oh. we dont have "oil heat" here.
lol no... we do... i think most people out here dont really have oil heat cause its not cost effective for how much people would use it. But you will see the oil tanks or whatever by peoples houses.
what houses are you looking at?
i stand corrected... they dont have oil heating in cali... lol nobody out here even knows what it is....
and you tried to argue w/a born and raised california girl? tsk tsk
yeah, but ur clueless... so i had to ask around...
its ok, go back reading about Britney on TMZ with mango...
you probably asked your friends on star wars chat
if there was such a place i wouldnt be on eZabel all day...
oh cause a couple of months ago we didnt have heat for a couple of days, and it ended up being that the cover on the boiler had fallen off and we could have fixed that ourselves without waiting for PSE & G, but I guess that's not your problem.
haha that's funny. remember the night mom nearly set the house on fire and the fire dept. came and she hid in the car?
that wasn't as funny
no that was hysterical! this was not funny, it was cold....
So where's the action down here...
I'm not in the mood for LA/Sunset after this weekend..
downtown fullerton.
First car at 16: 1986 Honda Crx . Had it for 1 month. Crashed it on my way to Field Service. Good way to get out of field service too. haha
Then got a brand new 2000 Jeep cherokee.. Have had it ever since.. 8 years no Giis.
Year after getting the jeep - Ninja 650e. Stolen.
4 months ago.. Picked up a new red.. Ninja 650R.
Been in the market for a new car ever since Dec...
Thinking about selling the bike and jeep.. to pick up:
.JPG)
and
Unfortunately no one has a Manual Cts within 500 miles of here.. and you have to order it.. Which is too long of a wait : (
and the bel air..!!!! that would be the best weekend car ever.. if I can find one under 10k.
I dont think she is really good looking.. but when i saw her up close she looked really good.
maybe that or I was really tired.
we were all on the same plane.. barrymore, justin long, the dude from entourage and angela from the office!
of course my job is much worse than theirs : (
lol... i dont believe it.
poor alex the parrot died last year.
i think it's amazing and at the same time... a waste of time
today is a miracle haha
i woke up at 6ish and went to the gym and took a spinning class
so it's 9:30 and i'm all kinds of awake and energetic
yay for physical activity
there's a spin class at my gym super early like that ... but i can't imagine waking up that early and working out without being sick. so I'd have to eat something first. but then working out - i'd probably just puke.
glad it worked for you, lol
With me, it's a very delicate balance as to when i can eat before working out. If i eat lunch (even something lite) right before working out i feel sluggish. But if i'm hungry, i'm also sluggish. So i need to eat like an hour before i work out, or just eat a bananna right before working out.
yeah i took an amino supplement and drank a bunch of water before... but yeah like 10 minutes before it was over i was about to pass out.. and i was STARVING after
get some HGH from roger clemens. you'll feel better.
or a EMBS from DD
(english muffin breakfast sandweecho.. from Dunkin D's)
ohhhh, sandweecho. delish.
NICE!!! i feel refreshed when i work out in the morning too. i just dont think i could take a spin class at 4am when i work out. LoL
blakdhgo apighadl;kfjad fp[liyhad i'm speechless
myspace.com/nicoleatkins
her main myspace photo is a photo I took at Maxwells in Hoboken
YAY it's like i'm ... almost semi pseudo famous
haha
but more importantly i just LOVE her as an artist and I'm so honored!! hopefully i'll be taking pics at her show tomorrow night in Manasquan!! :)
this one? 
btw, holy crap myspace is such a piece of crap when it comes to web design
yes, and myspace is a piece of crapola
this scene cracks me up
i recut a few scenes from There Will Be Blood to music. Not bad!
OMG OMG OMG INDIANA JONES TRAILER!!!! ALERT THE INTERNETSSSSSS
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/indianajones.html?showVideo=1
Sweet! That was awesome!
woohoo he looks old and shia shows no emotion!
um dont you dare diss indie... we will have problems.
anybody know where to get good art prints? I want to get this one. preferably on poster paper, not canvas. I also want it to be large, and without a white border if possible. I noticed a lot of the prints of it out there cut off a portion of the right side, which i don't want.
or maybe a graphic designer out there that can get me the high res file!??
how about you paint it yourself... lazy.
i think it's called "Prints Plus"
lol shia lebouf nononononononono
LOL! i did notice that he did the "nononono" thing a lot in transformers
hahaha aww i love shia
how can you guys have nothing to say about indie...?
I almost wet my pants. How's that?
MEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOO
back to work tomorrow :( I had off today and was out the last 6 workdays cause of the flu
Lots of sickness going around lately. Crazy!
THE FLU SUCKS!! I was in a Nyquil-induced coma for the past 5 days. Anything good happen while i was sleepin?
rumer willis has got to be one of the ugliest celebs (girls) around...next to miley cyrus.
she is very unfortunate looking... and while i appreciate girls with confidence she seems like really annoying like she thinks she is REALLY HOT
OMG YES! like what does she see when she looks at herself in the mirror? does she think "omg im hot" or what?
i'd scam her
tsk tsk....you had such good taste before bri. now you like the ugly pale chicks. :P
i'm kidding. i'm done with white girls actually! i'm cutting off white girls, unless they're REALLY, REALLY cool and i'm cutting off pennsylvania altogether. i'm only seeing spaniards and the occasional african american. that's it.
Hahahaha... Racist!
step out of the woods davey....its not racist. its called a "preference"
I know. I'm just busting his chops.
You're kind of moody today. A little latin rage has overtaken you as I like to tell my gf when she gives me attitude. haha...
hahah NO im not moody. im just feisty today. you'll know when im in a bad mood...
That's when I should wear tank armor. Haha...
haha i love it! yeah i heard from a ton of peeps that Pennsylvania peeps are a lil strange.
i'll not comment. butttt the pennsylvania borders are closed to BV. i'll still visit philly on occasion tho.
i'll comment...Pennsylvania is the devil. total psycho-ville.
It's funny how us Jerseyans look at PA that way. I personally would never live there myself. I used to work with a German guy who was in the country on a work visa and he used to call it Pensyl-tuckey. Not sure why he did, but it was funny hearing that from a foreigner.
you're not sure why? have you ever been there??
when Lauren lived in Hazelton, Mike and I went out there - we went to the local market, and i definitely felt like people were staring at me just because i'm not ... completely white. it was actually really odd. And they sold a lot of guns there.
I'm not sure how a foreigner would pick up on it so easily. I think it's funny he figured it out so quickly.
Dude, my ex father inlaw lives in PA. He showed me his handgun the last time I was out there picking up the kids. We were standing in a restaurant parking lot. I was very creeped out and I'm a hunter. haha...
yeah... pennsylvania is WEEEIRRDDDDD!!
i always remember driving out to ian's wedding and stopping in these dead end hick towns with nothing but a car dealership and a pizza hut. very strange
what about taylor hanson?
taylor hanson is a boy
Matt likes boys
you're kidding right??!
aaaaaaaand the most UN-spectacular, UN-special song of all time - seriously I could walk down to the Shop'N'Bag and pull any methface from the register and they could sing/dance better than this and probably write a better beat too
HAHAHAHA whats even funnier is that randy jackson dude....he looks SO out of place.
yes! he is not playing anything, he is totally just randomly holding a non-plugged-in bass guitar lolol
oh!!! And in case you have just had the flu and now you feel like you want to throw up your entire GI tract - and the nausea doesn't go away for like 3 days, it's probably due to the swelling and MUCOUS all over your sinuses and inner ear. Apparently. Some decongestant/antihistamine work to help that. Sort of.
I hate life.
haha
OMG i hate that. i was totally sick w/the flu, was out a day and a half the week before (i toughed it out at work) and got antibiotics and it helped everything else but the icky mucous. im still dealing with that. i'll be all talking and laughing and then i get all nasaly cuase of it. lol
ha then you must not have had the flu. I had a 101 - 102 fever for three days, tried to go to work for a few hours and my coworkers said they've never seen me so sick. The next day my parents took me to the doctor and just to shower took all my energy. But I'm just happy I didn't get the nausea bug my friend has!
were you all pale? LOLOLOLOLOL
i had a 101 fever. and i DID go to the dr and they told me i had the flu. im just not a weakling...and for me to miss ONE day of work, everyone thought i was dead...so yeah i did have the flu
dude...i had mono and was playing hockey....weak AND feverish.
it's all the tequila and cactus juice. those mexican home remedies are legit.
keep in mind we're in a strange season where the weather fluctuates and cold bugs are strong. also katie is pale and thin as a bamboo chute. i imagine those nasty bugs wreak havoc on her.
OMG my friend....her mom has ALL these old school mexican remedies. you mention and ailment and shes giving you some tea, food or something. its SO funny.
my grandma in poland used to make this honey-garlic-onion syrup that would clear up congestion etc. in a DAY!! i miss it.
can you get the recipe for it? or was it the "only gramma knows how to make it" type deal?
hmm i can proly get the recpie
HAHA! I actually met a brother this past weekend who lives in Texas but is from Jamaica originally. He said there's an alcohol you can only get there and when he would get sick, his mom would pour it on his head and rub it on his back, then give him a sip. Said it worked everytime lol.
I met him.
ha yeah? I can't remember his name but he's friends with Marlon who's from Texas and now lives near Philly.
oh yeah...did you guys have fun? i met marlon's friends, they seemed nice, but i was just so beat i didnt wanna stay out and go to the diner.
yes I'm always pale:) I don't wanna look like an old lady when I'm 35 then try to convince everyone that I look younger.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAH well take another look....
maybe based on California aging...
well listen katie....if you have more to say to me, dont hide behind the computer. im right here. i'll fly out right now if you want to talk face to face.
oh baby I have nothing more to say than to stop pretending on this website that you're my friend. You and Mike can try to fool who you want but not everyone's ignorant about what's going on in California.
yeah it totally knocked me off my feet too and i only had 100 fever, i was DONE and yep - i couldn't even stand up for too long .. ugh it was the worst i've been sick in YEARS, YEAAAARSSS
finally the decongestant cleaned up my sinuses and i am no longer nauseus - buttttttt i was also drowsy as crap all day
yeah....i didnt even think about the decongestant until my mom suggested it. its been a HUGE help
i felt sick to my stomach and crappy for like 4 days. it was weird cuz i didn't puke or anything, just felt nauseas and totally wiped out
yeap i'm still goin thru it the decongestant is not really fully helping.. eating is not fun when you want to puke up what you're eating
the nausea from it is helping me not eat...lol
yeah i'm enjoying the weight loss and all but COME ON
Hmmm... This site was fire walled by my job earlier. Weird...
awww... well i for one am disappointed they opened it back up for you...
I bet you are... It would have meant no more fat jokes aimed towards you...
i cant help it im prettier then you.
Yeah cuz plus sizes are what's hot.
dont forget the manboobs!
Ah yes. Manboobs flopping around is much hotter than moving toned pecs around.
um yes, ill be on Americas Top Model someday.
i'm very sad. i have to move my desk into the helpdesk area... which means i'll be right in the line of fire of customers and my boss.
i'm moving into your old cube mikeyjoe
Aww darn... So if I decided to write with permanent ink on another one of your white boards, people would actually see it. LOL!
WHAT??! Why!? who is moving htere?
mark
haha! welcome to the club.
the lunar eclipse makes me nostalgic
i remember sitting on a friend's back porch and watching an eclipse back in 8th grade
and listening to Hum
"She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars."
I let Jake see it at about 10:15 tonight. Pretty neat. I taught him about the fact that the stars that don't blink are planets. So the one to the left of the moon is Saturn. (I think that is the planet they said would appear)
it was so awesome. i had a perfect view of it when i left my house for meeting last night. it was so funny cause i had NO idea of the eclipse happening and i thought there was something wrong with my eyes because i didnt have my glasses on.
uh ... why were you driving without your glasses?
and dont' say "oh i don't need my glasses for driving, only for reading". when people say that while they're in the drivers seat and I'm a passenger, i get REALLy scared - like, reading a book does not risk your life, driving does - isn't THAT when you should be using your glasses?
so yeah... im taking ur wife out on a date tonight, is that cool?
im sure its coolio cause im chaperoning...dan trusts me....right?
its ok dan, ill just get lauren a drink like the one she made me... the one that supposedly DIDNT have like TRIPLE the amount of booze in it.
you're a lightweight. don't pretend.
also, do not utilize the example of when i was forced to drink mountain dew + southern comfort + schnapps (in the same shot) as an instance of proving i am a lightweight.
oh no its not that, its the million other times you drank like half a glass of wine and started singing journey that proves you are a lightweight....
what? JOURNEY? i would rather poke myself in the eyeballs than EVER EVER sing Journey. i feel sick just thinking about it.
Don't stop... Believin...
wow. i forgot how much i hate that individual song, but i have been reminded.
you didnt hate it when you were singing it with me at rockin taco.
Steve Perry rocks
seriously....i LOVE journey!!
I love you... haha
DUDE you were singing it with me and having a wonderful time!
i question this instance. perhaps you are confusing me with ... uhh ... crap.
do you want to just say, "mike... you are and always will be right... and i am wrong. And i dress like a gay man"
NEVER. NEVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
and i dress very nicely.
This is kind of like that drug commercial from the late 80s/early 90s. The father walks in and questions his son about drug use and the kid shouts back, "I learned it by watching you!" Now insert gay dress into the equation and you get my point. LOL!
please get a pics + divx feed so i can monitor mike, thanks
i hate you.
lol my eyes were hurting so i didnt stick my contacts in and i left my glasses at home. i can squint very well so im coolio.
I was in my meeting when the major part of it was happening... i was disappointed...
NOT cause i was in the meeting, cuase i missed the eclipse, lol
i don't know man, some meetings are ... slower than others ...
this meeting was good, REALLY good local needs on keeping yourself closer to jeh because satan is trying everything to get to us... felt bad, the brother on the stage was like, chased off by the next brother... i guess hte last brother wanted to make sure he had time, haha.
you should've walked out during song...there were some out when i walked out. lol
I think tomorrow will be a nightmare with all the snow
I have called 14 Gamestops trying to find a Wii. This is ridiculous... How is a huge company like Nintendo not able to produce enough units to fill the demand? The thing has been out for over a year! Increase your production floor already!!!
i worked SOOO hard to get mine. I called Target every day for like two months. When they finally had it, I ran down there before work and ran through the store (like the Toys R Us shopping cart contests back in the day on Nickelodean). It was awesome and fun.
Well that's the crazy thing. What if you call a store, run down there, and then someone else snatched it up? I'd punch a wall. LOL! I don't know why you can't just pre-order one. Seems like you can only get the bundle pack Wii's. But I don't want to spend over $400. I already did for a PS3, but at least it's a Blu-Ray player too.
And what sucks is that I have $100 of Gamestop credit to use. So I wouldn't be using all cash to buy a Wii there.
unlikely, especially if you go early in the morning. or make friends with someone at the Toys R Us, promise them $20 to hold it.
I think the Wii's a good deal at $250, it comes with WiFi built in so that saves buying an adapter for $100 like the XBox. Also, get extra controllers at Overstock, like I did - think I paid $20 or $25 each.
The PS3 controllers are 50 bucks! I bought a cheaper wireless model the other day for 30. Works just as well.
Emily is gonna be mad at me if I don't find a Wii soon. The dumb guy at the Mansfield Gamestop said they were getting shipments today, then the story suddenly changed when I called earlier. I wonder how many of these guys hold them for extra money.
The Onoratos have been stalking Wiis for like 6 months. They've stood on lines more than once to try to get one, and weren't able to.
Lou finally got one the other day at Walmart; but, not before standing on line for 4 hours the previous day waiting for UPS to show up. He gave up and went back around 10 or 11 the next day when UPS was supposed to come in and finally got one. They only received four.
I just don't understand Nintendo's issue with mass producing these things. What is going on?
It's just that demand is extremely high worldwide. They are spreading out their shipments to many many countries, and doing so as fast as they can.
Or, if you believe the conspiracy theorists, they're withholding shipments to keep demand high and make bigger money hats.
My parents are sooooooo excited about getting it! Too bad they're just gonna give it to my nephews.
hahaha really? i couldnt imaging your parents "stalking" video game systems, katie...
