The men ransack your house in the nighttime
But you think that's ok while you're sleeping
Long time, no post.
Yeah been busy with school and such, but I'm off for a bit while I take some more tests.  But what have I accomplished?  This:


Of course these would be much more relevant to a professional website than my thingy website.
Aside from School and studying, I went to a Devils game with Li, Tom and Gusta as I mentioned last post.  It was much fun.  I also went to Contempt and had fun there hanging with Baker, Melissa and Brian.  I got to see Brian's cool robot and ray gun collection.  baker and I also watched Jackie Chan's classic, Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, which is a different movie depending on whether you watch the dubbing or the subtitles.  Melissa was really nice and bought me dinner too.  We then went to Contempt where much fun was had by all.  Then, thanks to the niceness of people, I crashed at Brian's and Baker's and took the train home.
Now, here's a story.  On Friday, I took the train into the city from the Lake Hopatcong station because it's the most convenient for me.  But on the weekends, the train only goes as far as Dover.  So on the way home from Baker's I could only go to Dover and needed a ride back to my car.  So, I called my parents from the train and after one ring, my cell phone died.  So I get to Dover and call them collect and got no answer.  There were car services there, but I only had 4 bucks on me, so I waited for a bit and called again.  Still no answer.  So I started walking.  After a bit I tried at another pay phone with the same result.  4 miles later, somewhere in Kenvil, I finally got through to my Dad and he picked me up.  (See all my friends' numbers are on my cell phone and I couldn't get to them).  So I got home and showered and slept until the evening.
At which time Scottypalooza 2 occurred.  It was good to see Lauren, whom I haven't seen in quite some time.  Her one and only Dave was there as well, as well as ROSS, Rachel and her new 'friend', Rich.  Again, much fun was had.
Sunday was Easter and was good to have a relaxing day with the family.  Unfortunately lamb cake has apparently been banned after last year's 'incident'.  Good food, good company, good dessert, except for one cake ("It's crap!")  Thank you Easter Bunny, BAWK BAWK!
This past weekend, My sis and I went to see The Boy From Oz.  It was good.  Hugh Jackman was amazing and funny.  I got some pics after.  Afterwards, I went to T&C's and hung with Tricia, Cathy (shock), Chris, Maria, The Streak, and Tim.  It was fun and we had s'mores!  Yum!
Ok, my brain seems to be going bye-bye.  I've given you enough pics this week.  Hopefully I can get a bit more regular with this now that I'm a bit more free.
PAZUI!!!!!

Madam, We must have waffles! We must all have waffles forthwith! We must think, and we must all have waffles, and think each and everyone of us to the best of his ability...
Sorry about the lack of updates, but I've been a bit busy.  Hell, this isn't even a proper update since I wont be uploading a new pic or wav, just wanted to let you know I'm still alive.  School is going well, I passed my first two tests, so I am officially A+ Certified.  What does that mean?  It means that I can officially do the things I've done professionally for the past 5 years.
I must take a moment to thank Li for the fun at the Devils game this Sunday, even if we didn't win the Devils jersey autographed by Jessica Simpson.  I do have a few pics that should get posted eventually.
Yeah, so much has gone on since my last post, I really can't remember it all.
Can't think of what else to say.  hopefully will have time for a more substantial post soon, but with the holiday weekend coming don't hold your breath.  Well, you can, just don't yell at me if you pass out.

I thought you said that if we destroyed the brain, it would die.
It worked in the movie.
Well it ain't working now Frank.
You mean the movie lied?
Helloooooo
So, had a much fun busy weekend and I took lots of pics and I got them all up tonight because I'm not sure when I'm going to get a chance to otherwise.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, scroll down to last week's post.
First off, Friday was Contempt.  Went with Craig and Gusta and had much fun at the new club.  See what kind of fun was had here.  Got home around 2:30ish and pretty much conked out.
Saturday was the Morristown St Patty's day parade which means going to several pubs and not even seeing a single float.  Well, unlike some people, I didn't head in till about 1ish.  Had to circle around for a bit to get a parking spot (most of that bit was spent waiting to make a left turn)  and met everyone at Danny's Pub where we spent the rest of the day.  Here is where my photolog of the festivities can be found.  I have to send out heaps of thanks to Tricia and Cathy for buying my unemployed ass beverages and pizza.  You guys rock!  You know for such an exciting weekend, I sure don't have much to say.  But, I got that school thing on my mind.
Well, just read this.  Apparently there are only certain areas where free speech is allowed.
So, here's part of Barnes and Barnes (the singers of fish Heads) and here's an amusing sound.

No!  The police said it was just random violence!!!!
Well, It's been a while, but I have a couple of important things to say this week.
First off, HI LIZ!
Second, Starting next Monday, I'm going back to learnin.
I will be going here.  The initial classes last for 5 weeks.  During the five weeks I will be getting my A+, Network+, and MCSA certifications.  After that, I get the courses for my CCNA and Security+ certifications.  After all this is done, there is a 40 hour internship and then a 30 day job contract with one of their partners and option to continue after the 30 days.  (AKA, if they like you, you get a job).  After this, I still get 4 more courses towards whatever certification I want up to a year after I started.  The school also pays for all the tests as well as books and other materials.  Yeah, it's in Manhattan, so the commute will be expensive, but I will get a nice job afterwards which will most likely pay more than I was getting at my old job.
So, I will be a bit busy soon.  Guess I need to buy some notebooks or something.
Other than that, life is uneventful, but since that is pretty eventful, I guess life is too.
Umm...lets see...I got this exercise bike/crunch thing from my parents, which I will hopefully use.  Will probably squeeze it into my room out of self consciousness sake.  And thanks to T&C for helping out with that.  They are wicked cool.  Went out for Tim's birthday last week at Pub 199.  Was good, they had lots of stuff I couldn't eat, but their iced tea was really good!
Um...I guess that's all for now.
Why doesn't everyone come to my last pre-school blowout on Friday, which I'll just call Contempt!
It's at DEMERARA 215 West 28th Street (between 7th and 8th) $5 w/pass; $7 w/o 10:30 p.m. to 4 a.m.
And, now the pic which is from my calendar and is quite amusing and your wav which is from some show that Tom is watching.
