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!

Is there a nice way to ask when you will be receiving your thank you cards for shower, personal shower and wedding??
you already got your card from us! posting on eZabel will not get you another card!
yeah, its not all about you, you know
wait a sec. are you saying you gave someone a present and you haven't yet received a "thank you" card for it, and you're thinking about asking when you will get it?
because that seems a bit rude. writing a "thank you" card is not a requirement for receiving a gift. it's just a nice thing to do. some people don't ever send one, and that's their prerogative.
a friend of mine got married recently. I bought her a total of four gifts all through the engagement period for different events I was invited to. I only received one thank you card after the engagement party. I think she should have sent one. I spent a lot of my hard-earned money on her and I think she should be acknowledging it.
honestly, i couldnt complain about spending "hard earned money" esp for a friend. ya know what i mean?
and did she give you a formal thank you when you were at the shower (ie thank you for coming, thank you for sharing this with me)? that should be enough, dont you think?
well number 1, you dont know my financial situation and number 2 you dont my relationship with my friend. Anyway I dont see what that has to do with. A thank you card should be sent whether the money was hard earned or not.
no i dont know any of that and im sorry to offend you...i dont mean to. but you dont know whats on her agenda either. one friend, i rec'd the thank you card 7 months later. they got busy, family death, lay-offs. so you dont know what the stall is. or maybe she just didnt send any thank yous to anyone. maybe thats just her.
its ok. The only reason I was wondering is because my mom who gave several of her own gifts as well keeps asking me where it is. She thinks I should ask my friend.
you're looking at it wrong, in my opinion. you love your friend, and you gave her gifts motivated by that love, not because you expected acknowledgment.
do you think she doesn't appreciate the gifts if she doesn't send a card? because, i'm sure she appreciates the gifts. or did she not say thank you in person when she received them?
i dont remember but technically the thank you in person is for actually attending the event and the written thank you is for the gift
you missed my point.
oh sorry
i dont think you understand how much is going on after an event like that... to be honest, thank you cards are pretty much bottom of the priority list after a wedding... least imo
Last wedding I went to, I got the TY card like 6 months later. By then I forgot I even went. Didn't matter to me.
that's probably true but i know that she will be off on monday and doesnt have anything to do.... so i was wondering if maybe a gentle reminder would be helpful.
Then you might say to your friend something like, "My mom has been asking about a 'thank you' card. It would mean a lot to her if she received one from you."
yeah, i like that... thanks!
broman....one of the nerds here gave me this link...worth a try
Yeah... Don't feel like paying $100 more than the retail value.
I'm just gonna take Ian's. LOL!
Ok... I called all over North Jersey and eastern PA. Wii's are nowhere. Nintendo sucks...
People are making a killing on Ebay. The Wii's are auctioning off at like $350 a pop.
OMG i wouldnt be able to do that...id start punching
i'd slap them so hard they'd be thrown into a cart wheel and smash through the wall.
I love how the second I stand up for myself, my comments are deleted.
how can it be that there is so much snow.. and every business that surorunds my work is closed...except for my work. how? do they think it's going to get better? so angry that i have to go shovel my car out.
Does anyone have a dual layer DVD burner? i'm downloading a high quality copy of the super bowl now...its a big file. i dont think my computer burns dual layer discs.
i do.
i do
excellent, fellows...i may ask you for some technical help with burning. did you guys buy yours separately or did they come in your computer? how much would a decent dual layer burner cost?
came with the laptop. haven't used it yet.
if someone could help me out with the dvd burning process. i have the files, a laptop, a firewire cable, and 25 dual layer DVD+R's i bought thinking i could use them. if we could transfer the files to one of you guys' computers and burn it onto a nice dvd presentation so i can enjoy the game anytime on any tv.
and then i take you out to dinner. or lunch. or whatever. it's that simple. so want a free meal?
upload that junk to my FTP
dude! its like 7 gigs...wouldnt that take years
oh, haha. yes that's a large file.
what type of file is it?
why am i at work today? Staples didn't close our office. So annoying. My snowboard is at home, begging to be used.
I have no excuse not to work bcause of the weather since I can work from home.
so i hear you were snuggling w/rob thomas of matchbox 20...
more like his wife! although i swore lauren to secrecy about that whole night, haha, it was pretty crazy
haha no...im so glad she told me. it was the raddest thing....she said they were like BFF's w/you! so awesome! seriously!
and ive got the hugest crush on your wife! she's SO cool and is SOOOOOOO in love with you! i LOVE it!
it's hard to explain my love of punk/ska and matchbox twenty, they just kind of don't go together at all ... i usually keep it secret, lol.
haha i built her on the internet that way, LOL j/k
ya know what...i totally get it. i love ska/classic punk but there are just some nerd bands that're so cool to love. ya know
What is considered a nerd band?
hmmm, i dont know how to explain it. a lame band that you love....? lol like abba....lame....but i love them.
haha. yeah. band that you'd never admit to liking, probably.
Gotcha... So Savage Garden would be that for me since I like that song "Truly, Madly, Deeply". hahaha...
YES! lol *very gay btw....nuthin but love!!
I've been ripped on a lot by peeps who know I like that song. Haha... Now the Redsweater community will probably do the same.
hmm. i might admit liking "To the Moon and Back" if i was held at gunpoint.
*said to make brotherman feel better* haha
You're a chick though. Guys take more heat for liking stuff like that.
and you did a great job building her! lol
yeah, great times... all that happened is i got made fun of cause i didnt know what kinda cheeses that stupid place had or how to pronounce wine names... bah...
yeah mike walked in asking for a milkshake. lauren and i were like OMG you're fired.
FIRST of all... i thought she said ROOT BEER FLOAT... so i asked... and SECOND... if its a restaurant they DEF can make them... she was just lazy
it was a wine tasting bar.
our office closed, but I'm working from home. :/
I didn't even call mine. But when I opened the IM program, I saw someone online who doesn't work from home, so I guess they are open. They already know if we get dumped on with snow, I won't be there. I shot my boss an email.
I have the best job - my boss called ME and told me to go back to sleep!!
My work was cancelled and they didn't call us, so I drove 104 miles for nothing, risking a car accident... what a 3 hour / half a tank of gas waste of time.
Usually company's have a hotline to call for weather.
I don't work for the company, I'm contracted.. but Bloomberg never closes, the global economy would nosedive.. someone just decided not to work and someone else neglected calling some of the people on our team...when they knew 5 hours ahead of our shift to tell us not to come in. Half of the people on the team slipped their mind. So not coo.
Plus, we went in on the day of the snowstorm previous to this, which was a worse one. So frustrating. Could've planned a fun Friday night instead of driving for no purpose.
I hope the 104 miles is roundtrip and not one way. Cuz I'd have to say you are crazy to drive that far then. haha...
Roundtrip and still crazy. But, you do what you kinda gotta do to earn a buck and a can of beans in this crazy world.
Very true. I drive 64 miles roundtrip and am very happy I only do it 3 days a week now.
If I were working full-time or apartments in my job area were cheaper, I'd move closer to it. Almost moved to Bensalem PA area where it's affordable and closer to work, but I shifted my plans.
Where do you live and where do you commute to?
Madchester NJ to Skillman NJ (Princeton vicinity)
Haha... I looked up Madchester and it is a type of Rock. Is that the codename for your real town? Cuz I've never heard of a town by that name.
he means Manchester. a little, woodsy area near Toms River, Lakehurst, and Jackson.
Ah, gotcha. Sorry, I don't speak South Jersey. LOL!
Redsweater doesn't need another regional Jersey discussion, does it? Look, there's 2 hours of Jersey below me, 2 hours of Jersey above me. I've always been from Central Jersey that's why I find it so strange and aggravating that anybody above The Amboys disses me for a Southerner (not saying they're the uncoo - just that I'm a Central boy - it's very cultural... at worse, I'm South Centralite, but nonetheless a Centralite)... not about to have a psuedo yuppie tell me otherwise at any time of the day. hahaha
This will probably spark another regional Jersey war, but oh well.. Had to respond.. couldn't let it go.
But in a more direct response to the comment.. it's not Jersey speak at all. I just say Madchester, 'cause my town is called Manchester, and Madchester was a music movement in Manchester England in the 80s/90s (Happy Mondays, New Order, Stone Roses, etc)... so your bit of internet research had the right reference in that regard. Kinda made me laugh you thought Madchester was the actual name of where I live in NJ. hahaha. Wasn't trying to be cryptic or anything... truly thought you'd figure it out.
haha i got this rad geography lesson from lauren and dan on their last visit. still kinda confusing BUT i kinda get where things/people are. lol
Sorry... I had to wikipedia it to figure it out... I do not know music movement history, nor do I care to know.
Us Northerners consider everything below route 78 as South Jersey. We rule... you drool... :oP
So in other words, Cranford, Elizabeth, Bayonne are South Jersey ...whatever, take the 1/4 of NJ you say is North Jersey and just declare it a brand new State. Where I'm from will always be Central... as well as anyone who lives in this region... Northerners will never legitimize that.. not the first time I've had a NJ regional debate with someone, so nothing new. I have Southern Jersey cousins... they even have different accents. Central Jersey exists not only geographically but culturewise as well. Ask a real South Jersey person if they consider me or anyone else in Ocean County to be a South Jersey person. Northerner's won't let us be Central, Southerners won't let us be South. Keep the Peace, Tear Down the Wall. This isn't Belfast.
Wow, I don't think I can respond to that. That was like a line out of a movie.
...and the award for most overacted soliloquy for something completely trivial goes to.......
hahaha
"Manchester Township is 82.5 square miles and is the third largest Township in central New Jersey's Ocean County."
Toms River = "Total 52.9 sq mi"
Little? South Jersey?
I think not
Rest my case
Goodnight
hanving relatives in prison pretty much gets you out of jury duty right?
*our fam lawyer is in court and i need to send my excuse letter today
I don't see why that would exempt you...
You could just fill out the jury duty card and send it in. You may not even be called. If you are, then when you go there you can tell them about your relative in prison. If they feel that you couldn't be impartial, you won't be used.

whatcha gonna wanna do is... RUN DOWN the stairs... go the BATHROOM... open the door, FLUSH the toilet, and go ahead and stick your BIG FAT HEAD IN IT...
kthx

Play nice children or Broman will whip out the wooden spoon.
hahaha, what is it with parents and the wooden spoon? yeesh. do you give your kids the occasional wooden spoon?
I use a belt to make a crack sound to scare my kids into listening. LOL! you kidding... You can't hit kids with objects other than your hand anymore. DYFS will be on your front door step if it ever got out that you used a spoon or a belt.
sounds kinda nasty if you ask me....lol
Broman don't play nice... Broman smash... Broman like to talk in 3rd person too... haha...
did you get what you needed, or you still need it?
i got the date, and I put together a presentation based on a watchtower and some km stuff. I couldn't find the sample presentation though...
so ... do you still need it?
yeah, if you have it that would be great, thanks!
january KM. PM'ing to you now, sir.
done and done, sir.
thank you so much. how did i not see that in the km???
not sure. I had to hunt for a couple of minutes to figure out if it was in Feb or Jan.
also, i am sorry we didn't get to talk for longer this weekend, i would have liked to have caught up more but we ended up sitting downstairs on Sunday. Next time.
thats because you were late
no late. not early but not late.
whatever....
whatever.... you should do what i do, get someone else to save seats so then even if you are late, you still have a great seat!
You're the reason why they make announcements not to save seats for people other than those in your car group.
they dont make that announcement anymore. besides i was earlier than dan and lauren both days anyway
didn't see any of you hills. I was only there on Sunday visiting good ol NJ 1.
The point is, it is unfair to people who get there on time to have to struggle to find seats because other people save seats for some who come late. And you must be in the bathroom during announcements, because they make that announcement before every assembly.
i was not late. i got there at 9:00 both days. i was earlier than dan and lauren. they deserved to have to sit on the lower floor. I was not in the bathroom, but i never heard that announcement and my seat saver friend apparently didnt hear it either
I've heard it announced for the last 10 years or so. What about those who show up between 8:30 and 9:00? Do you think you should get a better seat than them? People hear the announcement, they just don't follow the counsel. That is why it is continually announced.
but i do understand what you are saying.
Good. Be a good girl and don't do it again. haha...
ok until the district convention :)
....
Ian knows what I'm talking about. Haha...
my boss used to always say:
"if you're early, you're on time. if you're on time, you're late."
You're boss is a communist. LOL!
yeah man, sorry about that. we were running out of there to go help my sister paint her new place. it was a great assembly though
Is it just me or does penelope look like Victoria Beckham?
wow...this is close to where i live. you cant even go to a movie theater anymore...
FULLERTON – Two men were stabbed and injured Sunday night while watching a horror film at the AMC Theater in Fullerton during what appears to be a random attack, police say.
Shortly before 7:30 p.m., officers were sent to the theater at 1000 S. Lemon St. after someone reported finding a bag with what appeared to be illegal substances, said Fullerton police Lt. Tom Basham.
While the officers were at the theater, people started running out of the theater showing "The Signal," including two men with blood on them, Basham said.
Just before people started running out in a panic, two men sitting in separate areas of the theater were randomly stabbed by an unknown man, Basham said.
"He started stabbing at the theater seat and then he stabbed the victim," Basham said. "As he fled, he stabbed another victim sitting near the exit."
Basham said the victims did not know each other or the suspect.
One man suffered a stab wound to the arm, which punctured into his chest and was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange. The other man was also stabbed in the arm and taken to St. Jude Medical Center. Both are expected to survive.
The attacker, who is believed to have been kicked out of the theater earlier, escaped.
No arrest has been made, but police are following some leads.

It's the place to get stabbed in a theater by a Scream copycat. haha...

I added the video of the Furries on Late Nite in 'Concerts.' Go watch it.
Dunkin Donuts is selling small lattes, cappuccinos and espressos for 99 cents today from 1 to 10 pm. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/15982152.html
I guess it's their answer to McDonald's giving the free coffee of any size on Valentine's Day. Too bad Dunkin couldn't find it within their budget to give free lattes instead of charging a petty 99.
UGH i dont want to be working....i want to be at the beach or something. its too pretty and hot out to be indoors!!

how is toms river central jersey?
thats false.
he speaks TECHNICALLY, LITERALLY in this case. and TECHBICALLY, i suppose he's right. we're in the middle.
Truths.
However figuratively Toms River is the southern most part of Jersey, by the coal mines and the everglades.

MEMO: stay away from dan hill...he's smelly.
hmm . it's possible. i just talked to a super hot girl at my job named lauren too, but she didn't mention it
WOW i met that girl...SO HOT. ok, i take the memo back...
How do you know what girls from his job look like? Just curious.
the girl is taken... so dont worry about it buddy.
Who said I wanted her? Just curious how a woman from CA knows the coworker of a man from NJ.
Besides... I want you Mike. You are so dreamy...
who doesnt, im a cutie with a bootie
lauren is his wife dork. lol
Oh. I knew that, but it sounded like he was talking about another Lauren... Whateva!
Matt Kelly is still the only person to almost knock me out with BO. If anyone can top that, then they have talent.

it's the end of the world as we know it
Am I missing something? Or are you spouting out REM lyrics...
yes, brotherman with ANYTHING that isn't rush is the end of the world
You guys are funny... Do you honestly think I play nothing but Rush nonstop? I haven't even listened to any Rush in over a month.
screenshot or it didnt happen.
haha so true
No. I believe you also play post-Syd Barrett Pink Floyd ('cause the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd is too weird for you to handle)
No Pink Floyd in awhile either... Next...
Am I right about only the post-Syd stuff? Like 'Piper At The Gates of Dawn' is way too super off beat for you, I'd gamble (If I were a betting man)?
I listen to it all son.
I'm on a Duran Duran and Jimmy Eat World addiction this week.
WHAHAHAHAAAAATTT!??!?!
yeah, i know, right??
i dont believe it...
i still dont get why they changed the name of this song...
what was the original name?
bleed america... they changed it cause of sept 11
oh i thought thats still the name... whats it now?
It still says that on the album case.
Salt sweat sugar
You lie! haha
They changed the name of the album from Bleed American to self-titled. The name of the song didn't change.
That's what I thought. You don't change the name of the song and still leave the old name on the album.
According to Wikipedia, mikeyjoe is actually right for once!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_American_%28song%29
The song was renamed "Salt Sweat Sugar" after 9/11
The album was also renamed.
Yeah but they didn't change it on the actual album that I bought.
maybe you bought an old album, OR your maybe your Alzheimer's is flaring up again...
I just bought it this year.
Yeah, maybe they just changed it for the single's release? Not quite sure. Maybe newer productions runs of the full album have it changed as well.
never question me again...
so i have this hot sauce packet on my desk, and its been on my desk for like 2 months now, and when im on the phone i tend to play with it and i realize that one day it will pop and go all over me, but i....just....cant....stop.
You're a silly big bootied young man...
how's the weather down there gina!
enough for me to hit the beach, get a tan, do a little surfing?
be there for a few weeks
its been awesome. in the 70's. last week it got into the 80's. so im sure you'll be able to hit up the beach. are you going to be here before or after memorial?
My heroes:
this looks like the original version of the spongebob dance craze.
So this 70-year old woman that I work with just asked me to explain the meaning of "save as". Why cant she retire already so I can have her job??
oh my gosh. that's so mean! Working keeps you young & your mind healthier.
i suppose, but she really is dumb. She always asks the most ridiculous questions. She also asked how to make a folder. But she had already made it. She always asks me because I'm nice to her but she is so stupid its scary.
wait a second, is her name Carol?
if so, i worked with her at my last job. she used outlook to schedule appointments for herself, and she had THOUSANDS, all of which were blank. she had put no notes, and no instructions in those appointments.
also, she did not know the difference between close and minimize, and she was using the mouse upside down for one day.
ha ha, no her name is not Carol, but it could be! They sound like they could be friends.
one time, carol was having problems with her computer, so i told her "why don't you restart it", so she turned off the monitor and turned it back on!!
keep these stories coming, this is quality entertainment. haha
one day, she just didn't show up for work. and then, she never came back.
:(
let's pray that that happens to me. then i can have her job!! :)
is her name Ted? If so, I have worked with her.
I wanna hear what your reply was to her. haha How does one go about explaining the meaning of SAVE AS!?
I just basically said that when you "save as" you are saving as whatever the name is that you want it to be called and she was satisfied.
The National Enquirer claimed Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer. His rep has confirmed the story. He said Patrick was diagnosed about a month ago. Patrick is receiving treatment at Stanford University Medical Center.
His rep also told PageSix.com that Patrick might only have a few weeks to live.
no more dirty dancing for him!!
i just had surgery on my wrist yesterday. i had torn ligaments last year as a result of a break from when i was 16 not healing right. i had my wrist bones popping out all the time and some arthritis which was causing me pain all the time. so they fused three of the small wrist bones together and i have have pins in there to hold the ligaments. they numbed the nerves in my whole arm so until this morn it was just like dead weight, really weird feeling. so now im all drugged up on percoset and i was dreaming in spanish last night .... wooohoooo
dreaming in spanish? like a novela?
Hold on a second... I saw you last week doing shoulder presses at the gym. How were you able to do that with a messed up wrist?
he lifts different from other people... ive heard it, my wrist is like his too... it didnt heal right when i broke it and with too much weight you can feel it just slide out if you dont hold it right.
Well not sure how you can lift dumbells with a wrist injury. I could see you doing it on a machine, but even then it would pose a problem.
maybe we are just more manly then you are...
its ok... you stick with your cute little machines old man...
I use everything bootie meister.... And judging by my physique compared with yours... You look like the old man. :oP
when you say old man, im assuming you mean hottest man alive...
No, I mean you are jiggly. hahaha... Latin women like the big booties. I'm sure they think you are hot.
oh my GOD!!! dan, your arms look like giant brotworsts, except whiter and with less definition. you have the physique of a manitee.
Dude, shutup. My arms are fine. You look like a stick figure compared to me.
i think you are the only person i know that would say that.
Uh hello... I'm a lot bigger than you. You have a thin physique with some tone. I have bulk. I have like 60 pounds on you. And no... It's not fat. I have a healthy amount of fat. Not all of us can maintain 2-5% of bodyfat like you.
i don't know why you think i'm so thin. pound for pound im a lot stronger than you. and by next winter, once my leg heals up, you wont even have that much weight on me, and i will still have a lower body fat percentage...so suck failure fatty!
Are you in competition with me or something? Haha... The same metabolism that keeps fat off you, will keep you from bulking up easily. I'm going to guess that you wear a size 30 pant. That is slim sonny boy.
Pound for pound... I could still pick you up over my head and toss you. LOL!
dude, you're the one that is always mentioning how bulky you are and stuff.
Mike questioned my manliness, hence we are where we are.
well, mike goes to the gym a lot less than you, and he probably has as much definition in his arms as you.
i have more sheer mass then both of you put together, PLUS boobs, so beat me.
true, when you count boobs, mike is really unbeatable.
He'd make a very convincing Sumo wrestler.
well... if I had a tan... maybe you could see it...
see what, your wiener? OOOHHHH!!!
You love picking on me... Between you and my psycho children I'm ready to jump off my roof tonight... haha
i wanna see you guys wrestle
I think we need to. He needs to be put in his place.
i dunno... i think he would give u a run for your money
Dude I have 60 pounds on him. Unless he is a ninja, he has no chance. haha...
member the tortoise and the hare....lol
If it's a struggle for brute strength, he can't win. the physics of it are against him.
Haha... A few other people called you a runt. LOL!
you guys should measure out your manliness by seeing who can pee the full word "mississippi" in the snow...
That's not manly... cmon.... I think we should fight. haha... Alex wouldn't last 10 seconds against me. ;oP
u prolly went to the same stupid dr. i did!!!!
no pain, no gain. seriously its hurt me for a long time, bench press was the worst.
You totally twisted that statement. What you were doing was not very smart. You should have had it fixed earlier. You're lucky you didn't make it worse. You Kelly boys think you are invincible. Your Dad must have used the "Dodgeball" training course with you and thrown wrenches at your heads as children.
after i reinjured it last year i went to an orthopedist and he said i could get by without surgery and just rehab it. obviously he was dumb
NO YOU ARE!
Oh ok. Well you need to beat him.
Wow that explains all those crappy throws at football, maybe you've been like an injured payton manning all this time, hehehe.
ha ha ha!!! young buck! i still willed my team to victory even tho tape was the only thing holding my hand on
i cant wait to see them again...x...they're old but still perform like they did in the 80's
If I downed a 6 pack, I might like them. Haha...
you IT peeps should try this (forward from a friend): LOL
"I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Randy, the computer guy, to come over. Randy clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He gave me a bill for a minimum service call.
As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?" He replied, "It was an 'ID ten T' error."
I didn't want to appear stupid, but I nonetheless inquired, "An ID ten T Error? What's that, in case I need to fix it again?" Randy grinned. "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?" "No," I replied. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."
So I wrote it down. I D 1 0 T
So I decided to check out this movie that I just heard about for the first time when reading about some girl named Marion Cotillard winning the oscar for best actress - anyway - the movie is fantastico and I cried my eyes out
so it was good? i've been dying to see it!!! le rose en vie, right?
Hi people, it's Lana. I haven't been on here in SO long! I miss it.
So, how is everyone?
hey lana, doing well! you?
I'm doing good. I just emerged from my newlywed cocoon lol
hey sis!
Heyyyy, miss you bro.
Some mom power washed her kid... geesh... Even I am not evil enough to do that.
I'd power wash Alex though. That would bring some satisfaction... oops... did I say that out loud?
no you didn't say it out loud...you typed it.
Wow, you are quick.
in Hackettstown?
in New Jersey?
in the USA?
in Soviet Russia?
in 2008?
in 1998?
in 1976?
It happened somewhere in the US this week. Don't know where. Wise guy...
And what's up with my kid being so open with you? haha...
I have to push him to talk to the boys his age, but Ian Zabel is just so appealing to him. Must be cuz he knows you have a Wii.
this is the main reason any kids in my hall talk to me instead of just running aroudn like maniacs and jumping off the stage. i do not know where their parents are, but it's the only way i can get them to slow down.
same thing with Alex and Josh. they always come up and talk to me about video games too.
keith has a wii too! maybe they should go talk to him! haha
He actually lets kids play his though. You are a scrooge with yours. Haha... They're hinting for you to share.
HAHAHA
You're not allowed to laugh at Ian's jokes.
No one bothered to look at the News story I last posted the URL for (which was a different story then the one I posting a link for below.... ) ...this time I'll include the title so you're more apt to read it
US catholic church paid 615 mln dlrs for abuse cases in 2007

so i log on and see NO manliness jabs back and forth between alex and broman.... whats up guys? you kiss and make up?
Alex needs to learn his place in the food chain. He's like a wolverine going up against a black bear for a fresh kill. The bear will eventually kill the wolverine, but the wolverine will always attack regardless, it is their nature.
im assuming you are the bear in this analogy?
No... It's your mom....
This is how it goes
You'll get angry at yourself
And think you can think of something else
And I'll hear the clanging of the bells
Cause I can't stop you baby
Cause I don't have the bribery in place
No bright shiny surface to my face
So I won't go near the marketplace
With what I'm selling lately
Cause this is how it goes
Cause it's all about drugs, it's all about shame
And whatever they want
Don't tell them your name
This is how it goes
One more failure to connect
With so many how could I object
And you, what on earth did you expect
Well I can't tell you baby
When this is how it goes
Cause it's all about drugs, it's all about shame
And whatever they want, don't tell them your name
So I try to hold on
While you try to let go
You won't tell me it's gone
But baby I'll know
Baby I'll know
Baby I'll know
Baby I'll know
