forty.

Thought I was going to skate, unfortunately my travels took me to the old Brick park where it was way too hot and the ramps were decrepit.

Decided to go out for a cruise like the old days after I got back.

Travels led here..decided to go see the new Iron Man.

Of course I was so early.

Iron Man 2 was pretty good. As far as sequels are concerned, I felt like it really carried its weight and did the original justice. The Dude was a great bad guy in the original, but Mickey Rourke was awesome in this one, too. Tony Stark is such an arrogant, pompous asshole, but you can't help but love the guy. I wonder how much more being by myself I can take.

thirty nine.

To quote Kyle Broflovsky: "Disintegration was the best album ever!" The Cure really is great, I almost forgot how much I like them. Simon Gallup's bass in this live rendition makes me feel so good.

thirty eight.

If I did not buy this, I would have regretted it for a long time.

Went to my Uncle's house with my grandparents for a barbeque

So long and goodnight.

thirty seven.

Happy Memorial Day..well, a day early.

Saad hope you are doing well out there man. "Ole!"

"I have to warn you when I wrote this song I was listening to The Cure alot, so..."

Nothing I am

Nothing I dream

Nothing is new

Nothing I think or believe in or say

Nothing is true

It used to be so easy

I never even tried

Yeah it used to be so easy...

watching the wedding singer, not such a good plan.

Enough garbage at Jersey City spot to fill a landfill

Went home for a Mother's Day brunch

My nan was ruling Super Mario wii

The rest of us played this game called 'cornhole,' which involves throwing a beanbag across a field into a hole

Momma's Boy

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there..you're the best

It's clear to me that drinking is usually at the core of a bunch of problems for me, but I am young and want to be able to be an idiot before I hit real life. Drinking is pretty much my only bad vice, but it gets me talking and allows me to let loose and be a doofus with my friends. I enjoy it too much I guess, but when I'm ready I'll stop my college boy ways.

So two weeks from now I start another job up in NYC. A kid I saw skating around a bunch when I was growing up is helping me out with it. I'll be an assistant editor, which is great. Finally making real life decisions, so hopefully everything works out.

twenty four.

This made me smile.

So Friday night Nico and I went to see The Soft Parade at BB Kings in the city. Drank way too many beers and watched Nico try to steal from street vendors on the walk back to the path. In our drunken stupor, we get split up. I called a bunch of people for help on finding my way but instead I idiotically yelled at them. This seriously never ends. I'm sorry. My phone died soon after, so I stumble onward towards Penn Station. After asking a couple where the 33rd street station was (it is literally a block away ahh), a hooded guy slides a knife to my throat and tells me "give me your wallet or die." Fucked. I was so scared I didn't move for about 15 minutes after he ran off with EVERYTHING. All my movie tickets from the past 3 years, now only memories. I slept in Penn Station and have to beg the woman to let me ride for free after telling her my story. My roommate came and picked me up once I made it to Hoboken. I went home to visit my family who would not stop asking me about the situation. I walked away from them and had to sit by myself a few times just because I couldn't take thinking about it anymore. My mom cried to me that night and hugged me so tight telling me that without me she would be lost. I love you Mom. Then Sunday was my Aunt and two cousins' birthday party.

They got a water park for their birthday. So insane.

Went to Jersey City junk spot.

After going through all the trouble of canceling my debit card, health insurance card, AAA card, and having my pay check stopped, I was pretty much more down then I have ever been. At the DMV I am told that I need another point for a new license, so I have to drive 45 minutes to print out a bank statement and go wait on the hour and a half long line once again. About to get my picture taken, who do I see? The fucking lead singer of The Soft Parade! Like what? After fanning out on him, I headed home.

Found out that my favorite teacher, ever, died yesterday. She would e-mail me every now and then to see how I was doing and actually enjoyed all of my videos. She even made me mail her a copy of Whoopi Pie after I had been out of high school for almost 2 years. Ugh, Mrs. Defilippo I hope the best for your family. I adored you. Rest in peace.

Went to the city last night for the Altamont party at the Autumn Bowl. Saw every professional skateboarder, ever. Fanned out super hard and was having a good time for once until I fall onto my face and cut open my forehead. I can't catch a fucking break. Can't take anymore bad. Out of the blue Chris Nieratko calls me up and says "I have unbelievable news for you." Someone found a few of my cards and my paycheck and actually had to heart to mail them to my work. All of my debit/credit cards, money, and sentimental stuff was gone with the actual wallet, but oh my god thank you there are still good people in the world. I wish you put a return address so I can mail you the biggest hug in the world. Thank you for giving me hope in humanity.
