First update in 7 days! And back-to-back Fridays! Just like the old days when I used to have a blog!
Speaking of which, if I keep up these rants, I might restart a new one, whatever helps to please the 2 or 3 people that �frequent� my site.
Tattoo Joe is in town. I haven�t seen that kid for like ever. Actually, he�s the opposite of kid, but I won�t get into that. Yeah, I haven�t seen him since October 2002, and considering the fact that I was heading toward death, I probably wouldn�t have seen him that much if, let�s say, he took off for Vegas in January of 2003 as opposed to October of 2003. But, I�m going to see him when I hang out with the crew later tonight (07-23-04). I was supposed to stop down to see him on Wednesday, but I really can�t do too much for a while. But (hopefully) that�ll all end by the end of the weekend.
Well, that�s it. I really mean that this time. I leave you with these words: If you borrow your friend�s car and wreck it, make sure your home team has a game against some major rivals prior to the game. Then use your head.

First update in 5 days! I�m on a roll!
There really wasn�t that much that�s worth bringing up this week. Basically it was the same old, same old. I think my goal was to move on and focus more on the stuff I said I was going to focus on. That�s why I�m chilling at the crib this weekend. Plus, all that heavy drinking is delaying my self-wake up call. In addition, the hangover causes me to move a lot slower.
I was supposed to chill last Saturday, but at the last minute, there was a kick-ass party, and I had to be there. Anyway, I�m staying in this weekend. Yeah, I know I�ll be missing out on the Southside (drink special-less) festivities. Who knows? I may get everything done within the next 24 hours and then some. Then I�ll be able to go out. I really should have gone yesterday, like I have on the past several Thursdays. Well, at least there�s next week. My bro Tattoo Joe is returning from Vegas for the weekend. He�s actually slated to arrive on Tuesday and remain for 10 days. Then, he�ll leave, but August will arrive, and from the looks of things, August is looking pretty decent.
Well, that�s it. I really mean that this time. I leave you with these words: If you borrow your friend�s car and wreck it, make sure your home team has a game against some major rivals prior to the game. Then use your head.

First update in 9 days! Nice! I�m getting better at keeping up with this. Anyway, this past week (apart from my car�s �death�) was one of the best weeks off all time! I basically drank everyday, and grilled as well (or at least tried to, considering I suck whenever my crew is around).
In my 20+ years on this planet, there�s at least one TV lesson that I�ve learned. If you throw a party at your parents� house and they�re not slated to return until the following day (or way after the party that they don�t even know is happening concludes), all of a sudden, sans a respectful warning, they arrive while the party is going on, and you�re fucked. Also, if they indeed return the following morning as planned, your house is trashed and there�s no chance in hell that you�re covering it up.
Every so often on television the folks will come back earlier than expected, and during that party, but fortunately, the kids would be one step ahead and turn it into a Surprise Anniversary Party or Birthday Party. Yeah, it�s nice that the kids thought of their folks like that despite the fact that their folks have never seen at least half of those people before. Either way, it�s either going to get the kids out of an ass whooping or a not-so-heavy punishment.
That�s television though. In real life, you�ll get away with it, or not, thanks to one little thing. However, the house wasn�t wrecked, which is what counts anyway. Of course, there�s the ever-so-special moment that the folks will come back a day late, with little warning. That won�t ever happen on television. Man, parties at someone�s real house are off the hook; I�m going to miss these.
That was my weekend. Now, it�s back to the bars and the Oakland/Southside house parties, in addition to dropping a lot of money at the clubs.
Finally, The Amazing Race started this past Tuesday. It�s really a better reality show than lame-ass Survivor. While I would have enjoyed this as a complete summer series on Thursday nights, this isn�t half bad. It�s not like I�m doing anything else on Tuesdays. Unfortunately, it kicks into the 2004-2005 season, where I�m going to be real busy. I should be busy now, but I�m busy doing nothing since my car was busy being un-functional. Also, as it stands now, the sixth season is slated for fall of this year. It�s on Saturday, which will conflict with Football, but at least I won�t be too busy to miss the show. Well, personally, Saturday nights aren�t that good, because Sunday is even more football, and then I�m back to work Monday (with Monday Night Football to come before the ever-so-busy Tuesday. More on this later.
Well, that�s it. I really mean that this time. I leave you with these words: If you borrow your friend�s car and wreck it, make sure your home team has a game against some major rivals prior to the game. Then use your head.

This section ought to be called the rant of the month, especially now. It's been over a month since I've updated this, and I really don't have a whole lot to say anyway.
However, with the fact being that it�s officially Independence Day weekend, what more is there to say? I can say that whenever the long weekend ends, all is not lost, because the first day back is the first day of The Amazing Race. Even though I don�t think I�m going to New York at season�s end, it�s going to be a fun season. I figured that should TAR6 start right away in the fall, I�d be going to New York anyway, and this time, without the interference of a Job Fair or the first DAIT meeting. For those who don�t know what DAIT stands for, that�s Duquesne Association for Information Technology. Speaking of Associations, I still have no clue as to when the SAA (Student Accounting Association) is going to kick-off, or do I have any idea when TARCON5 is. [�For some reason, WORD won�t let me use the word �nor� so I had to settle with or instead.� � Seabreeze] Whatever.
Well during my absence, I went on the lam (again), got my computer fixed (which by the way, had a major effect on my updating the rant on a regular basis), went to Canada, learned to love Roulette, learned to learn Craps, and came back to Pittsburgh to do absolutely nothing. It�s still a bit too hot to be productive.
Well, that�s it. I really mean that this time. I leave you with these words: If you borrow your friend�s car and wreck it, make sure your home team has a game against some major rivals prior to the game. Then use your head.
