September 8, 2008
I wake up at 10:00 for my 11:00 class. Then again, this time it doesn’t have the extremely long routine of packing up all of my computer shit. I go to my Administrative Law class, which basically goes through the theoretical of shit. The girl next to me asks some random questions about the class. She for some reason brings up preemptively apologizing if she sneezing or coughs during class. What the hell…
After class, I have to go to the post office to pick up a few books. I’m never at the apartment, so they leave yellow slips of paper saying that I need to pick up my books or whatnot. I then go to the supermarket to pick up food, 1 lb of roast beef, .5 lb of buffalo chicken, 1 lb of hot Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, salad mix, balsamic vinaigrette, and bread rolls. I get back to the apartment to drop off my shit and pick up all my computer shits. I go to the library and spent 15 minutes running through 8 floors looking for a good place to set myself for the next 10 hours.
Evan shows up eventually. We make fun of this girl that’s sitting near us. She’s pretty cute and might be French from the book she’s reading. However, she has a disgusting, loud, scratchy, manly Smoker’s cough. It’s a scary sound, especially in a quiet ass library. I keep on downloading my shows, which is taking quite a while because the speeds are low for some reason. For other shows, it comes by quickly. I mostly sit on Stickam and do my reading for Civil Liberties. It investigates the legitimacy of judicial review and also an interview of Justice Powell.
I guess this could be a chance for Stickam update:
-Elin, Nana. Mysterious Swedish girl that’s Wapanese.
-Samantha, from PA randomly called me last night because she was shitfaced from beer. She also takes “cyber classes,” which means she does all her schoolwork through home on a laptop that they sent to her.
-Lizzy and Noorie, friends from Manchester. Interesting learning about their different school system.
-Danielle from B-More. Quite a crazy girl, what she uses… telling by the calls that Atron and I have made to her.
-Meagan, little girl from Birmingham that gets back at like 8:00 PM from school because of soccer and cheerleading. Why people do so much extra curricular shit…
-Jema, crazy Mexicana from Cali who has told me about “party lines,” where you call a number, an automated message tells you about a party, where, when, and everything. They gotta get that shit down in the East Coast.
-Red, Asian girl that was in school in Cali, but lives in Thailand. She has visa issues so she will end up going to Australia for school instead of back to Cali.
-Tanya, 20 from Calgary, one of the hottest chicks on Stickam. Fun story about her running to the liquor store to get wine because she’s got nothing to do. This brings up my alcoholism, but I shove that right down even though I have vodka because I have three classes tomorrow, it’ll be rough. She says she ran into a hobo. She was telling her friend about good vodka and the hobo buying plastic bottle shit says that the “best” shit is what gets you drunk. The hobo pulled the words out of my mouth…
I download the VMAs. Unfortunately, some of the performances are shortened like Lupe, Katy Perry, and Ting Tings. It’s sweet though because it has Travis Barker drumming for all those side shits. The Lil Wayne is hella weird because his pants are literally off the entire thing and you see his underwear… The Christina Aguilera is great and is showing off a new dancier Blackout style. I hope it’s a great album, but it’s better than she’s constantly shifting. Dammit, only if there was more Back to Basics like stuff coming out. The Kanye West is alright, but it sounds a bit like an R&B song with him singing and he can’t pull it off so he needs a vocoder. However, the production pulls off the song.
I watch an episode of The Hills and leave the library before 1:00. I get back, watch Mad Men, write this shit and have a hella long day ahead of me tomorrow.
September 9, 2008
I end up going to lunch with Evan and Jonah at a place near campus. It has an amazing cheesesteak on a Kaiser roll with grilled onions, an amazing sauce, and cheese. The rest of the day is spent in the library Stickaming along and random business.
For dinner, I have my switched up sandwich of a sesame roll, roast beef, pepper jack cheese, honey mustard, and pickles. I end up meeting with Evan so I can go to Wendy’s and get a free Frosty float that I turn in a receipt for. She asks what kind and I reply with vanilla, and then Dr. Pepper. I guess she doesn’t hear Dr. Pepper, so she gives me…. Orange Fanta?
When we walk out of the place, I tell Evan that it’s definitely because the woman’s black. What kind of fuckin’ white person would make a good ol’ fashioned float with orange soda!? That’s like fuckin… using ketchup as tomato sauce with your pasta. Then again, it doesn’t turn out all that because it’s like an orange and cream Popsicle.
When find a private room in the library to hang out and chill because you can’t usually speak in the library. We end up leaving at 1:00 when the library closes. I get back to finish my episode of Prison Break and watch Gossip Girl. It’s 2:00, I’ll be sleeping soon for my Administrative Law class at 11:00. It’s so stupid that the professor allow laptops. Writing notes by hand feels embarrassingly slow, barbaric, and inefficient.
September 10, 2008
It’s again another day in the library on Stickam. I also have a lot of stupid ass Spanish homework. Evan and I meet up at night and I run to McDonald’s to get an Asian salad. I get it to compare it to the Chicken Mandarin of Wendy’s. The dressings of the two are basically identical. Wendy’s has mandarins, crispy noodles, almonds, and more grilled chicken. McDonald’s spices up the salad with peppers and snap peas, but in the end, I prefer the Wendy’s. The vegetables are fresher and almonds and crispy noodles just bring out the salad to a different level.
We then go an empty room in the library so we can speak and hang out. While in there, Stickamer Tanya gets back from getting a Monroe (a piercing above the lip like where a beauty mark would be). Evan brings up how he hates piercings. I test how much he hates them and it goes fuckin’ far.
September 11, 2008
At night, I go on Stickam and just hang out for a while. People are being bitches and don’t hang out. I end up meeting Jonah at like 11:00ish to go for a walk and a bite. We walk for a bit and we end up going to San Loco a taco place. I get rice and beans and he just gets rice. We talk about our issues about eachother and I think shit okay.
We end up leaving each other eventually after that and I start drinkin for the night because I got my Internet today. I end up drinking like 11 drinks for the night because I have like my 40 which I haven’t finished which is like 3 drinks still because it’s flat and I also have my vodka which I have been trying to kill. I drink a shit load and have fun on Stickam until I end passing out because I’m so drunk.
September 12, 2008
I’m so drunk that I end up having a hang over for the day after. Even though my class is at 2:00, I wake up late and I just don’t feel right. Sitting though the class is really rough. I should buy groceries, but I end up getting comfort food at Wendy’s with a chicken wrap and a large chili. I sit on Stickam until eventual I see Evan at like 11:00ish. We end up going to a bar to see the people that he knows and it’s great to meet up with people that I’ve met before but I still need a better standing with. We then go to another bar, which I have a hard time walking to. I haven’t eaten since 3:00 and I’ve been working on my 8 shot flask the entire night.
We then go to another bar, whickh I tell Evan to butch up because I’ve been trying to learn the Atron ways. I tell him about all the situations where we can talk to girls. I know I’m shy but bars/clubs/parties are the situations to hit that shit up. He bitches out so we end up not dealing with that.
We then then go to a bar with 4 guys and 2 girls. One the guys ends up walking with one of the girls for the entire night. When they get to the bar, where the guy ends up making out with a girl that already has a boyfriend. She also goes there to meet him. That’s just so weird. It turns out that there’s a party tomorrow, so hopefully that turns out well. I get back, Stickam a while and top it off with a few mo’ dranks.

A Good First Weekend
September 5, 2008
I wake up at 12:30ish. For breakfast, I have the leftover pizza from last night. Man, I really feel the love for Italians every time I bite into that cappacola. I have class at 2:00 and immediately go the library for the internet. You know that move, what else I got to do.
I get on Stickam and I have a lot of fun doing it. I randomly check out girls in the library and people think it’s funny. Then again, I get “caught” by one of the girls and she gets eye contact with me. I hideaway and it’s weird.
I stay on Stickam and watching The Shield and random stuff for the next few hours until 9:00ish. During that, Erdem keeps saying that he’s free and he’d be willing to come it. He pulls the same ol’ shit of, “I want to come it, but I’m not coming in without plans.” There’s a stupid, fake expectation as if there would be plans in the first place. Later in the night, he ends up ditching out. That’s unexpected…
While I’m in the library, Jenn gives me a call. We end up gossiping with her for almost an hour about random shit like Jonah, CNF, other people, and her situation in with the group in general. I give her the stark truth about how her situation is with us, but she takes that as a surprise. I tell her that she should really not be caring about our opinions of her. She’s a chick, what the hell. She takes offense to shit. Then again, I probably would be a shitty therapist. I tell shit straight as it is and I even give help and solutions.
By 10:00 I end up leaving the library because I’m going to make plans with CNF and Evan. I walk over to a Duane Reade, get a 3 pack of Parliaments for $20, man have cigarettes gotten way to expensive. Shit used to cost fuckin like $16. I get to my place, drop of my computer shit and take a shower. I then go to Evan’s and CNF is already there, it’s a surprise that he got there so fast.
We then go the store near Evan to get beer. I unfortunately only pick up a 40 of Budweiser. Then again, we’re supposed to leave quickly because people are already at the bar. Evan has plans to meet up with peeps that he knows there including people that I met at the party on Labor Day.
I down my 40 and it’s a really rough time doing so. I’m doing it on the clock and it really just feels like I’m pushing bricks down into my body. We then walk over to the bar, which is sweet because it’s only 4 block away. For the city, that’s like just way too close. It turns out to be a bar/restaurant kinda shin dig. I say Hi to people that I’ve already met from earlier in the week. CNF ends up buying me a Pilsner Urquell which is really sweet. Eventually, CNF and Evan have “shit” to do the next day and leave by before 1:00.
I could’ve left with them, but I follow the Atron influence and hang around. I small talk with a few of the doods and small talk away. People end up leaving by 1:30ish so I walk back too. The night is way too young and I try to give calls to people, but fuckin’ people aren’t picking up and shit.
I end up going back watching a few episodes of The Shield and write this shit out. Imma have to go into the library tomorrow and do some work, chill out, and whatever. I’ll definitely have to DL some more shows.
September 6, 2008
Evan wakes me up at 12:00ish even though my alarm is set for 12:45. I make a sandwich and immediately go to the library. I find a cool ass room that is open. It’s open, huge, and is big enough for 5 people. I stay there for an hour or so, but it turns out that people have reserved the place and I have to awkwardly leave while removing my external and all that messy business.
I have to bring my external around because I need to download my shows and everything. I need that to get my shows onto it so I can move it onto th Mac side and I can watch my shows. I stay at a level for the entire day until Evan comes along at night.
I sit around on Stickam and such and don’t do any work. I guess all my readings are left for tomorrow. We end up trying to figure plans, but shit’s messed up because it’s pouring rain outside. I end up going to Duane Reade to buy an umbrella and I also find Tupperware there. I really need that shit because I can’t only eat sandwiches and if I cook anything, Imma eat it at the library, so I can microwave my shit there. I just need something that I can bring that shit along in.
We end up deciding to go to CNFs. I end up getting handle of Smirnoff for $24. I’m pretty sure there’s a better deal to be made, but what the hell. I put some in a water bottle and we subway over to CNFs. I work on my vodka and it turns out that Evan’s trying to be “straight” or more like gay for the semester. That means he’s trying not to drink, smoke neither weed, nor cigarettes for the entire semester. The man is frakkin bitch.
We channel surf and shit. We also go on Stickam and I call Danielle during it. It’s a crazy time. We then walk to the “promenade,” which is an interesting view because it reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from The Wire. Sorry for the obscure reference.
We end up getting dropped off at the train spot and we walk back. When I get back, it turns out that I finished almost a fourth of the handle. Shit… Then again, some of it was pour from me. Some of it was poured my CNF. A fuckin waste!!! Jeeezzz!! Anyway, I’ll have to deal my work and whatever tomorrow. We’ll see what it brings.
September 7, 2008
I wake up before 1:00 because I went to sleep before 5:00. I spent the night before watching The Shield. Shit, that show is too fuckin’ good. I shower and pack my usual sandwich. Then again, I switch off from bread this time. I have a roll with honey mustard, buffalo chicken, Swiss cheese, and pickles. The packing is rough because I have so much shit. I have to pack my laptop, the charger, my external in its box, the sandwich, pretzels, some Arnold Palmer, a book I have to do reading from, my mouse, a house pad, my iPod, keys, wallet, phone, etc. It’s quite an ordeal.
I go to Wendy’s to get my favorite salad, the Mandarin Chicken Salad. Not because it’s Asian or anything. It’s just tasty. It has sweet mandarins, grilled chicken, almonds, crispy noodles, and sesame sweet, ginger dressing. I also need that since I haven’t eaten vegetables for a frakkin week. My week has all been sandwiches and bagels with cream cheese for breakfast.
I meet Evan at his Stern building, but the wireless there is rough and blocks everything, even fuckin’ torrents. I sit on Stickam the whole day and do my readings. Man most of that shit is ridiculously boring. I skim that shit and retain so little of it. When it comes to shit that’s interesting like reading Article III Section 2 of the Constitution, what the Court is supposed to be able to do, and the birth and justification of judicial review.
I stay in the library for like 10 hours until the library closes at 1:00. I leave then, get back, watch some of The Shield, and write this shit down. It’s going to be a hella lot day tomorrow.

HARD TIMES
September 3, 2008
Update: Evan ends up meeting with me before 12:00. We go to McDonald’s to get dinner. I have a sweet tea, two burgers, and 8 McNuggets. We then go to the Stern (Evan’s school) building where it doesn’t close at 12:00 and there are private, secret, unused ridiculously supped up lounges for us to chill.
I eat there while Evan does some reading. We leave before 1:00 to go back to our homes. I’m currently watching the first two episodes of the new Prison Break. It feels a lot like a repeat of the last season by setting up the main characters to do a “spy sneaky Scofield business.” It’s getting a bit repetitive, but it has enough suspense, action, and pazazz to keep me watching.
I wake up, do the usual, shower, bagel, and make sangwich for lunch. I go to my Administrative Law class. It’s sort of hard to describe what the class is, but I think it’s pretty interesting. It deals with regulation and how the government deals with many issues like the environment, goods, and such. Unfuckinfortunately, my professor says that no laptops are allowed because he thinks it distracts students. Fuck that shit!! It’s going to make the class a lot rougher.
I then meet up with Evan and we’re supposed to go to the Junior Class meeting that is being run by Alex. She said there’s going to be lunch there and it’s nice to see what’s up and get to see Alex. Evan wants food, so he runs down to get it. I wait for him and Alex says that the meeting is inside. I said that I need for Evan outside of the room since I have his shit.
Evan then comes and says he wants to go somewhere else for food, so I go along with him. At that point, I eat the sandwich I packed and miss the pizza that was supposed to come late. I write on her wall on Facebook because I basically showed up, and then left. I guess she thinks that means that I left because the free food was late and replies with that attitude. Jeez, makes me feel like a real skeve.
I then sit around in the library for a bit before my Spanish class. I pull off a tremendous move because people are supposed to print out a packet for Spanish homework. I didn’t really understand that was out assignment, so I didn’t do it. However, it’s on my laptop. So I answer one of the questions because I have it downloaded.
I both participated and legitimized that I “did” the homework and that I actually use my laptop for class purposes. After class, I call Aaron and talk about how he’s a social expert and walks around talking to strangers. I then sit with Evan in a library room for a while. I end up leaving at 6:00 to go grocery shopping.
I go to a store near campus that’s on the way to school. It’s pretty standard; I get paper towels, sponges, and saran wrap. I then drop off all my shit like my laptop and business at the apartment, walk 2 blocks to the Whole Foods. The place is ridiculous, all this organic, preppy, expensive food. I walk around there and just find more and more of the same expensive shit and end up leaving.
I decide to go Met, which is the supermarket that was near my old dorm on Broome. It’s a longer walk from Whole Foods to Met than it was from Broome, but it was literally 5 blocks from Broome, already way close.
I get a pound of buffalo chicken and half pound of Swiss because I know there’s nothing to eat other than sandwiches. My mom has to come tomorrow with the cooking shit like microwave, plates, forks, and everything. Also, I’m going to be just making sandwiches so I can stay in the library. I also get some baked fresh rolls, which will help the fact that sandwiches aren’t way filling.
After that goose supermarket chase, back to the library! I find a secluded floor, hook myself up, and start roamin that shit at 8:00. I’ve been on Stickam for so fuckin long by now. I guess I’ll stay on, but I should do some reading now instead of just writing this shit up.
I turn off my computer and move into the bottom of the library where it won’t be closing soon. I turn on my computer and it goes to the starting up Windows XP page and restarts the computer. It does this constantly, even though the computer is sleeping.
I call Miah to get some help and I can’t get anything out of it. I go online, speak to him and Spamps and figure out a long ass plan for the next day. During this situation, the wall of shock hits me. My “life” has literally been turned upside down. My computer is dead! The walk back to my apartment is filled with depression and despair, a walk that I will not forget.
September 4, 2008
I specifically wake up early at 9:30 so I can run to Bestbuy to get an external hard drive. This way I can save the stuff from my Windows side because the Mac side of my partitioning still works. Granted, most of it is extremely recoverable like shows and music and favorites on Firefox. However, stuff like my magnum opus, the Prague Blog, 200 pages of memories would be lost, and also the pictures from my trips, essays that I’ve written for previous classes, so on and so forth. I quickly find a 500GB hard drive for $100.
I then go to class and when I get out, I start trying to fix my computer. I find a spot in the library to set up my laptop and external. It’s a bit awkward having all that stuff out. I move my shit onto the external and torrent Windows XP. I then realize that I forgot that I have to buy CD-Rs to burn shit on them. I go to the NYU store to grab 6 with jewel cases for $10.
I burn Windows onto the disk. I try to remove my other Windows partition, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I try to work the burned CD, but that doesn’t work. By now, I’ve spent the time going to Bestbuy and all this time. I’ve already spent like over 6 hours on this business. I have a 6:20 class, Civil Liberties. My professor randomly asks me about Marbury v. Madison.
I jumble around that it was Adams that appointed Marbury and Jefferson was the one that didn’t allow for it. I get a bit flustered. She also asks the ridiculous question as to what Marbury was appointed to. It turns out that it was stupid ass “justice of peace” of DC.
She moves onto the next person, while I get publicly embarrassed. Now I have to read up on the next class and participate to push myself up, goshdarnit.
After that, I have to go back home because my mom is dropping off stuff like microwave, cooking shits, and whatever. We then to go to a pizza place that’s 2 blocks from my dorm at Broome. It’s pretty fantastic because it has spicy cappacola on it. C’mon, you guys know how to pronounce that… “gabba gool.” Learn that shit motherfuckers.
I then get dropped off at the library near 9:00ish. I try to DL another version of Windows to see if that will work. I do random shit in the mean time and reminisce on how frustrating and depressing my day has been. It’s probably been the most shocking day that I’ve had in a long time. I feel as if tons of bricks are on my shoulders and I just have such a hard time dealing with the day.
Eventually, Evan comes to visit. After I burn another Windows and trying to burn it onto the computer, it doesn’t work either. Finally, I feel a lot of the weight off of me because I realize that shit is basically futile for now. There’s nothing I can do.
Part of the problem was that I felt I could fix it and tried everything I could to try to. Now that I know I can’t, I have to try to get shit by. I can still run the Mac side though, but it can only hold like 5 gigs with the partition issues.
My mom also has a shitty HP laptop that I maybe can use the mean time. Hasan also has a real copy of Vista, so maybe that will work with getting my Windows back up.
Evan and I end up going to his dorm. On the way, he gets me two 40s of Coors. I drink one at his place while we chill out. We do random stuff, like watching the DiPrague Vlog videos. They’re pretty weird/boring/funny when looking back. He needs to go to sleep, so I end up leaving his place before 2:00. I save the other 40 for a later date.
I get back, write this shit down of my horrific day, and watch a few episodes of The Shield. I truly feel is a real incredible show and probably a classic in my book. It brings a fresh look onto the cop drama genre with the idea of corruption and how much realism that it brings. It also has some great camera work.
Well tomorrow is a fresh day and we’ll see what that will bring.
Update: Evan ends up meeting with me before 12:00. We go to McDonald’s to get dinner. I have a sweet tea, two burgers, and 8 McNuggets. We then go to the Stern (Evan’s school) building where it doesn’t close at 12:00 and there are private, secret, unused ridiculously supped up lounges for us to chill.
I eat there while Evan does some reading. We leave before 1:00 to go back to our homes. I’m currently watching the first two episodes of the new Prison Break. It feels a lot like a repeat of the last season by setting up the main characters to do a “spy sneaky Scofield business.” It’s getting a bit repetitive, but it has enough suspense, action, and pazazz to keep me watching.
I wake up, do the usual, shower, bagel, and make sangwich for lunch. I go to my Administrative Law class. It’s sort of hard to describe what the class is, but I think it’s pretty interesting. It deals with regulation and how the government deals with many issues like the environment, goods, and such. Unfuckinfortunately, my professor says that no laptops are allowed because he thinks it distracts students. Fuck that shit!! It’s going to make the class a lot rougher.
I then meet up with Evan and we’re supposed to go to the Junior Class meeting that is being run by Alex. She said there’s going to be lunch there and it’s nice to see what’s up and get to see Alex. Evan wants food, so he runs down to get it. I wait for him and Alex says that the meeting is inside. I said that I need for Evan outside of the room since I have his shit.
Evan then comes and says he wants to go somewhere else for food, so I go along with him. At that point, I eat the sandwich I packed and miss the pizza that was supposed to come late. I write on her wall on Facebook because I basically showed up, and then left. I guess she thinks that means that I left because the free food was late and replies with that attitude. Jeez, makes me feel like a real skeve.
I then sit around in the library for a bit before my Spanish class. I pull off a tremendous move because people are supposed to print out a packet for Spanish homework. I didn’t really understand that was out assignment, so I didn’t do it. However, it’s on my laptop. So I answer one of the questions because I have it downloaded.
I both participated and legitimized that I “did” the homework and that I actually use my laptop for class purposes. After class, I call Aaron and talk about how he’s a social expert and walks around talking to strangers. I then sit with Evan in a library room for a while. I end up leaving at 6:00 to go grocery shopping.
I go to a store near campus that’s on the way to school. It’s pretty standard; I get paper towels, sponges, and saran wrap. I then drop off all my shit like my laptop and business at the apartment, walk 2 blocks to the Whole Foods. The place is ridiculous, all this organic, preppy, expensive food. I walk around there and just find more and more of the same expensive shit and end up leaving.
I decide to go Met, which is the supermarket that was near my old dorm on Broome. It’s a longer walk from Whole Foods to Met than it was from Broome, but it was literally 5 blocks from Broome, already way close.
I get a pound of buffalo chicken and half pound of Swiss because I know there’s nothing to eat other than sandwiches. My mom has to come tomorrow with the cooking shit like microwave, plates, forks, and everything. Also, I’m going to be just making sandwiches so I can stay in the library. I also get some baked fresh rolls, which will help the fact that sandwiches aren’t way filling.
After that goose supermarket chase, back to the library! I find a secluded floor, hook myself up, and start roamin that shit at 8:00. I’ve been on Stickam for so fuckin long by now. I guess I’ll stay on, but I should do some reading now instead of just writing this shit up.
I turn off my computer and move into the bottom of the library where it won’t be closing soon. I turn on my computer and it goes to the starting up Windows XP page and restarts the computer. It does this constantly, even though the computer is sleeping.
I call Miah to get some help and I can’t get anything out of it. I go online, speak to him and Spamps and figure out a long ass plan for the next day. During this situation, the wall of shock hits me. My “life” has literally been turned upside down. My computer is dead! The walk back to my apartment is filled with depression and despair, a walk that I will not forget.
September 4, 2008
I specifically wake up early at 9:30 so I can run to Bestbuy to get an external hard drive. This way I can save the stuff from my Windows side because the Mac side of my partitioning still works. Granted, most of it is extremely recoverable like shows and music and favorites on Firefox. However, stuff like my magnum opus, the Prague Blog, 200 pages of memories would be lost, and also the pictures from my trips, essays that I’ve written for previous classes, so on and so forth. I quickly find a 500GB hard drive for $100.
I then go to class and when I get out, I start trying to fix my computer. I find a spot in the library to set up my laptop and external. It’s a bit awkward having all that stuff out. I move my shit onto the external and torrent Windows XP. I then realize that I forgot that I have to buy CD-Rs to burn shit on them. I go to the NYU store to grab 6 with jewel cases for $10.
I burn Windows onto the disk. I try to remove my other Windows partition, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I try to work the burned CD, but that doesn’t work. By now, I’ve spent the time going to Bestbuy and all this time. I’ve already spent like over 6 hours on this business. I have a 6:20 class, Civil Liberties. My professor randomly asks me about Marbury v. Madison.
I jumble around that it was Adams that appointed Marbury and Jefferson was the one that didn’t allow for it. I get a bit flustered. She also asks the ridiculous question as to what Marbury was appointed to. It turns out that it was stupid ass “justice of peace” of DC.
She moves onto the next person, while I get publicly embarrassed. Now I have to read up on the next class and participate to push myself up, goshdarnit.
After that, I have to go back home because my mom is dropping off stuff like microwave, cooking shits, and whatever. We then to go to a pizza place that’s 2 blocks from my dorm at Broome. It’s pretty fantastic because it has spicy cappacola on it. C’mon, you guys know how to pronounce that… “gabba gool.” Learn that shit motherfuckers.
I then get dropped off at the library near 9:00ish. I try to DL another version of Windows to see if that will work. I do random shit in the mean time and reminisce on how frustrating and depressing my day has been. It’s probably been the most shocking day that I’ve had in a long time. I feel as if tons of bricks are on my shoulders and I just have such a hard time dealing with the day.
Eventually, Evan comes to visit. After I burn another Windows and trying to burn it onto the computer, it doesn’t work either. Finally, I feel a lot of the weight off of me because I realize that shit is basically futile for now. There’s nothing I can do.
Part of the problem was that I felt I could fix it and tried everything I could to try to. Now that I know I can’t, I have to try to get shit by. I can still run the Mac side though, but it can only hold like 5 gigs with the partition issues.
My mom also has a shitty HP laptop that I maybe can use the mean time. Hasan also has a real copy of Vista, so maybe that will work with getting my Windows back up.
Evan and I end up going to his dorm. On the way, he gets me two 40s of Coors. I drink one at his place while we chill out. We do random stuff, like watching the DiPrague Vlog videos. They’re pretty weird/boring/funny when looking back. He needs to go to sleep, so I end up leaving his place before 2:00. I save the other 40 for a later date.
I get back, write this shit down of my horrific day, and watch a few episodes of The Shield. I truly feel is a real incredible show and probably a classic in my book. It brings a fresh look onto the cop drama genre with the idea of corruption and how much realism that it brings. It also has some great camera work.
Well tomorrow is a fresh day and we’ll see what that will bring.

End of Summer and NYU
August 27, 2008
It’s a boring night as usual, however at 1:15, we end up sitting the DnD parking lot. Alon and I are in Hasan’s car. Miah is outside calling the girlfriend. An officer pulls into the parking lot and immediately asks for our IDs. He then proceeds to check our IDs. He gives us a warning and lets us off.
However, the issue is that there’s no reason for asking for ID when it’s not a traffic stop. Also, he checked our backgrounds with no PC. I email his precinct about it.
August 28, 2008
It’s Alon’s last day. We sit at DnD a bunch and go to Herrill Lanes. I don’t play because bowling is for fags…
They pay for an hour so I force them to play “speed bowling.” It’s a real sport when there are teams involved, but basically I force people to play as fast as possible. When you’re paying by time, there is no reason not to be playing for speed and points. Then again, in general, I think it’s stupid for games to not be time based.
August 29, 2008
CNF, Hasan, Tom and I go to Astoria. I’m surprised that Tom comes along, but he’s going to school in the city and CNF has gotten to know him. I thought that he only knew Atron, I guess not. CNF has a pint of Stella. Tom and I have 40s. We then go to Magic Carpet. Get back by 2:00ish.
August 30, 2008
CNF picks me up to go to Flushing with Jonah and Tom. We go to a Bubble Tea/restaurant café thingy. I have a bubble tea and we end up going back before 1:00. I get dropped off and I get some of that drank on. I got some champagne, some whiskey, and some wine. It’s a lot of time spent on Stickam. I also make a call to Bolanos, who tells me about Atron being in true form and throwing up. I call Danielle and she’s fucking out of it on Addie’s.
August 31, 2008
I’m supposed to move in today, but the apartment isn’t really “ready.” I end up staying at home for another day. I spend most of it on Stickam and stuff. Evan was bored the night before and we’re supposed to do stuff today because I was supposed to move in.
Instead, I end up going to the city anyway because Evan says he’ll be hanging out with Derek from Prague and such. I walk over at 8:00ish and take the 8:50 in. I then take the subway and get the dorm by 10:00ish.
I drink some beer that’s sitting around. Marco, Gianfranco’s brother, and I play beer pong and we lose rough. They’re down to one cup. We’re at 4. One of them makes his cup and his partner bounces it and makes his cup. That’s three cups down and they get take back. They both make the single cup shot to seal it. Fuckin’ hell!
I continue drinking lots of beer. A lot of people show up to this room. It also has a sweet roof where you just go out the window and can have a smoke and whatever. I get freaking real drunk. I take a few hits of a blunt. There’s this crazy ass guy there that is a mad free styler. I eventually leave with Evan so I can catch the 3:19 back.
It’s a lot ass trip to take back, so I call a few people like Bolanos, Atron, and Miah.
September 1, 2008
I wake up in the morning to start moving and my mom runs in the room. She says that I smell like alcohol and a lecture about it for the rest of the day. I’m can’t imagine what it could be. I don’t have anything on me since I drank last night at the party. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’ve been stealing shit from the house, I’m not sure. Fuckin’ shit is super awkward though.
I move into the apartment and there’s no wireless. I have to wait until next Thursday for the cable guy to come. I walk around campus and find out that there’s nothing open. I have to go to Starbucks to get internet.
I meet up with Evan and we hang out for a bit. We then meet up with Evan and CNF. I spent basically the whole day on the computer. Jonah, Evan, and I walk over to cart. I get a gyro platter.
We then find a place to go in Stern. It’s way too nice. It’s got loads of rooms, tables, chairs, and flat screen TVs. We hang out there for the rest of the night. We go on Stickam, listen to some music, watch some TV, and just random shit. At 11:00ish, Evan and I walk back to our respective homes. It turns out that his dorm is literally at the corner of my apartment.
September 2, 2008
I have one of those weird sleep things where I wake up a few hours early and then I can’t fall back a sleep, but then end up going back to sleep, only to barely have enough sleep until I have to wake up.
My class is at 11:00. I grab a bagel with cream cheese, make myself a turkey and cheese sandwich packed up, and I head out.
First class of the semester is American Public Opinion or whatever it’s called. It’s basically a class on what the general American opinion on political issues is, why they have these opinions, and so on. The professor seems great and RateMyProfessor gave him a fantastic rating, but it’s still something I have little interest in. The American public in general is just a bunch of idiots. I mean studying them is real important, but I don’t care for it.
I then have my Spanish class. It’s so ridiculous that I have to take three semesters of this shit. The class isn’t too bad, but it’s harsh getting rid of the cobwebs. Even with 7 years of Spanish, not dealing with it for 2 full years really is rough.
After that, I grab some coffee with Evan and eat my sangwich. We sit around for a bit because my class is hours away at 6:20. I know, who the fuck has late classes like that? Either way, it seems like a great class, Civil Liberties.
The syllabus shows that the class is basically all Supreme Court cases, which I just love. She basically explains the class, which only takes 10 minutes and then lets us go. I end up buying the E-Book for like $50. I think it’s like all court decisions, so it’s like a huge fucking waste. That shit is all fucking online…
Notice, my day so far. Wake up, class, find “secret” place I can use my computer on campus, sit on my computer in the library, class, hang out with Evan/sit on computer, third class. Now… Sit on computer again…
On Facebook I find out that there’s going to be desert or whatnot through Alex, Junior class President. I show up at 8:00, say Hi to her, grab some food and drinks, speak to her for a bit, go back on the computer…
Now it’s 11:14 and the place closes at 12:00. I’ve been on Stickam and watching TV for so long. So much time spent this fucking library. I think Evan’s supposed to come here or something. Then again, I also haven’t had dinner yet… Shitt…
I guess I’ll need to get dinner and eventually go home to watch some shows and sleep for my 11:00 tomorrow.

August 26, 2008
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
