It’s been a while again since I’ve blogged. Now that people are slowly gone, only Alon, Miah, CNF, Josh, and Evan are around. Two days ago, Josh, Evan, and Scott had their own thing to do.
I drive and pick up Miah. We grab some Wendy’s and decide to sit at the park near him since there’s nowhere else to go. We hang there from 12:40 to 3:30 talking all this random stuff. One is how my semester will turn on compared my slow and tame previous semester. In the end, I think it couldn’t be more boring, though I can’t imagine it being that much different socially.
Other than that, I’ve watched the first 4 seasons of The Wire in a couple weeks. After seeing that string of brilliant television, I really have to place it high above almost all the television that I’ve watched.
From there, I move onto The Sorpranos and half way into the first season, I’m quite disappointed. It’s a decent drama, but I would prefer Six Feet Under. As for the “gangster”genre, I find it to be plain, generic Godfather/Godfellas garbage (I probably should use “overrated’ instead, but four word alliteration and hyperbole can’t be turned down). The subject matter is uninspired and brings little to the table. Simon’s portrayal of Baltimore’s street hustling in The Wire and Milch’s gritty Western small town power struggle in Deadwood put The Sorpranos absolute shame.
However, I still have the rest of the Season 1 and other seasons to go. The show better pick up quick to even close to the echelon of its HBO sibling shows.
(And as usual, Stickam has been ruling this man’s life for quite a while.)

August 15, 2008
I find out late that Scott is having people over. Instead of walking over, I grab my scooter and get there in 25 minutes, which saves over 15. I get there and I see people going out for their run. I ask for 3 Steels because you can never be too safe.
There’s also Natural Ice, which I end up having a few of instead of going deeper than 1 Steel. Rationing is a secret art for an addict. We then go to White Castle and I split a Number 3 with Bolanos. Along with a burger that Jonah gives me, that’s 5 burgers, 1 fries, and my drink. I then get dropped off so there’s no need to scooter back. A good drinking night in general.
August 16, 2008
The club plans drop because Pacha is having a 21+ event and Webster is having a Paul van Dyk afterparty. Neither of which are suitable normal club nights. Atron wants to start the night early, but that doesn’t happen. Scott and whoever go to Corona Ice King. A worthy 20 minute drive for $3 ices I guess. There’s no way buying bulk and leaving it at home for multiple use is a good idea out of that. Turns out that Alon, Miah, and Spamps do the same by driving out to Forest Hills for just ice cream.
Things start moving at by 12:00ish with Alon giving both Bolanos and I a ride to Scott’s. Atron asks if I want anything at Exxon and I ask him to get me a pack of Camel 9s because I need them so bad. I only have a Steel and give my other to Bolanos. This means we gonna have to re up soon.
Evan bought a hookah, which is nice to have around. Scott has to make private calls, so he leaves us up in there. Atron makes a call to Danielle, which is really weird. She seems all creeped out. She’s hiding from stalking trees, can’t find her apartment, and all that weirdness. I speak to her the next day and it turns out she was on shrooms both nights that we called her. No wonder why, I definitely knew that something was up with that business.
When we leave, we take a ride to Wendy’s and then get dropped off by CNF.

August 1, 2008
Well I guess it’s been forever since the last time that I’ve done an entry. Basically, it’s been a hell lot of Stickaming. I got loads of regulars and it’s just a great killer all around. We got Swedes with Linn and Ida. Dani from BMore, Haley, the mysterious Nana, Tokio Duo, and many others.
The day before, I had to drive to Astoria to take pictures of stuff that my mom’s friend’s friend wanted to sell. On the way there, another car tries to merge into another lane and I don’t stop in time. The damage is extremely minimal that the cops suggest not reporting it, but the other car is government owned since the two people in the car were off duty officers or something.
It turns out the house doesn’t seem to have much that can be sold, so I’m not optimistic about what can get sold.
For the night, we go to Matt’s and we end up playing two poker games. I go up $25 from winning both. We then decide to go to Astoria. Bolanos randomly meets up with us there after going to the Wolf Parade show. Atron and I down a 40s, good times around. The idiot throws his bottle into a drive way and we all have to run away from that.
August 2, 2008
I get up at 3:00 and go to play basketball at 5:00. Aaron awkwardly has to ask if I can come to the party and I’m allowed. Hopefully it turns out fun.
I awkwardly get rejected cigarettes at a Hess Station, so I report the guy for it. Something better be done about it.
Josh bought a handle of vodka and a lot of people work on that. Somehow Atron is able to get Elena and two of her friends to visit the party. We leave by 2:00ish.
August 10, 2008
Other than going to Miah’s tonight, it’s been quite a week so far with drinking to be had at Scott’s for the past five days. It’s just mixed drinking all around. First with the leftover vodka. Then onto Bud Light 40. Then left over vodka. Left over vodka/Atron’s gin. Then Steel Reserve.
We go to Miah’s tonight. Basically everyone is there, Jonah, Alon, Spamps, Caroline, CNF, Bolanos, Scott, and Atron. An interesting addition is Rebecca hanging with us while the few party animals destroy. I got whiskey beer, wine, and everything. Jonah brought the huge wine jug It didn’t even get finished.
We leave by 2:00-3:00ish. After a stop at Wendy’s, I obviously get home to go on Stickam. Instead of staying up to the usual 6:00AM, I go to sleep earlier than that because I just pass out from being so tired.
August 13, 2008
Alon and Kenny are now off of work and I meet up with them early past 9:00 to go to DnD. We sit there for a while. Eventually, we head to Scott’s. Bolanos, Atron, his friend Tom, and Evan come over. Josh and CNF come from bowling with beer from I guess a run they did. They could’ve called so that people don’t need to go for another beer run, but I guess it’s an inconvenience for them, then they don’t have to. Then again, CNF did mention that he wouldn’t go back out for another run, though I guess foresight isn’t a great trait.
Atron then brings up stupid bets, which is interesting because I don’t think I’ve ever done one of his shits. One is to sit in a dryer for an hour for $30. Turns out that it’s to cramped and I can’t fit. Think about this though:
1. If I fit, it wouldn’t be too bad if I was somewhat comfortable.
2. If I had an iPod, that would be killer. There are definitely security guards that don’t sit, don’t have music to occupy themselves, and don’t get paid $30!! Per hour off the books!
3. I don’t have arbitrary dumb issues with sitting in a “dryer.” Closet, living room, dryer, who cares. Then again, the dryer is just a lot tighter, but big deal.
I also make fun of Atron because he’s just crazy. The man clearly isn’t rolling in money like some ballah, especially without a job… Like me… However, he shouldn’t be an idiot about stuff. He said it would take $100 for him to eat the paper label off of a beer bottle. I would do it for $1. Takes one minute of your time and it’s non-toxic. Apparently he feels that his “dignity” isn’t worth that much. Scott and Bolanos sided that $100 is almost a days worth of work for him. Hours and hours of manual labor compared to eating a small piece of paper. Cmon.
Issue of another beer run eventually comes up. It seems like no one is up to go for it. Evan said he wouldn’t go unless someone pays for his egg cream…Bolanos decides there’s nothing to do, but go to Wendy’s. I go too because I’m hungry. Atron gives Kenny an order and money because he doesn’t want to go. Kenny isn’t driving and just doing something that he wouldn’t even call a favor for Atron. Yet Evan wants an eggcream out of it. Then again, he has been the one to walk in and buy a few times and there’s many Thanks in that.
On the way there, I have to call Atron because we need to confirm his order. When I get back, turns out people went on a beer run. I know not to make a comment about me not getting a call about it. I slip one in to Atron, but he shrugs. Then again, I did call him to confirm his Wendy’s order, but that’s not a courtesy on my part…
In the end, it’s not a big deal at all. Just random things that came up to me.
