Carnival Aftermath

This is what is left of my Carnies after a night at Porkys in the city. Aside from the one hour open bar, the place is pretty much "Dizzy Lizards NYC." Must I say any more? Overall, I had a great time. Met some new people, had a "few" drinks, and got away from Hofstra.

Anyone know how to clean mesh? Let me know....



Yo, I'm not a Dodgers fan... But damn! ;D

Man Rules- I like Rule #1.

The Man Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note... these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear!

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.

MAY 16, MAY 16, MAY 16.... GET YOUR HYPE ON!

Too bad I didn't cop Crackdown... I guess I won't be missing out that much since my Xbox Live will expire around the same time as well. (No, I don't know if I'm going to re-new it.) Furthermore, let the hype begin!

The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT. That means that folks who purchased specially marked copies of Crackdown, or won a spot in the Beta through the “Rule of Three” or other regional promotions, will be able to log into their Xbox Live Gold accounts, download and play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta and enjoy an early peek at the multiplayer aspect of the game.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, and are interested, you can still enter the Beta by picking up a specially marked copy of Crackdown, which would ordinarily be a chore, but thankfully Crackdown is an awesome action game which might ironically distract you from the Beta I’m pimping here. Bungie is also giving out a few Friends and Family spots to valued community members, but those are few and far between, so it’s safer to assume you’re not getting in that way.

Now, I will say this again and again – the game you’re going to play one month from now, is Beta software – and while it will look somewhat close to the final game, it IS Beta – and will contain quirks, a couple of roughedges and all that jazz. But we’re pretty confident you’ll find it a dynamic and exciting taste of what’s to come in Fall.

Crunch Time

Spring break is officially over, and there's about six more weeks until the semester ends.... Time really does fly...

A portion of the Spring '07 collection by Lemar & Dualey line has arrived... This shirt will be copped... Pic courtesty of Highsnobiety.

Over the break, I was watching the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" special on the top 50 dunks... As a Knicks fan, this dunk sure brought back some painful memories. Here's God at work.

Viva Las Vegas! / Air 'em out

Okay, so it's been a while since I've written anything of substance. So let me tell you what I've gotten myself into over the past few weeks. A day before my birthday, some friends and I decided to book a flight to Vegas for four days and five nights. That's more than enough time to get into trouble... Did I mention that we’d be departing for sin city a week after I'm expected to graduate? Crazy! On top of that, I'm planning on traveling to Asia some time after I graduate as well. Going to see the travel agent on Saturday to see what's up.

I've heard from numerous people that the ideal time to travel the globe is after you graduate. Surely, I'm looking forward to it, but one thing that has and will be bothering me is this bullshit internship requirement for graduation. Let me air out Hofstra, and their graduation requirements for a second. In order for me to receive my diploma I must obtain an internship for "x" months and so on. Ok, not a problem. But don't you think that the school should hook you up in some way with an internship? I've sent my resume out to numerous job openings and still no luck.

For 20 grand a year, the advisors can do a little more than give me the names of newspapers and internship openings which took me five minutes to find for free over the Internet. Give us somewhat of an edge over the millions of other journalism students out there looking for a way in. I'm sure Hofstra is satisfied thinking that they're helping us find internships, but in reality, are just throwing us out in the ocean leaving us out to swim.

So yeah, wish me luck as the semester comes to an end... This internship thing is going to be a splinter in my brain until I find one.

On a lighter note, Florida ends up winning the Division I NCAA basketball title, propelling me into FIRST place in the family pool. It's only right that the most dominant member wins it all ehh? ;D Also, for all the haters out there, I placed third in the "It's cool, as long as John Leong doesn't win..." pool. Not bad for a 9 vs 1. What sucks is that the number three hater (rankings produced by Deloitte & Touche) ended up placing in second. Here's the overall shot for you.

Be good...
