Damn I'm awesome! 

Sidenote: I kept harping on him -- (to his credit I am THE most accident prone person ever)...But this was the best fake hurt to date...I will try again in the next few weeks I'm sure ... but he did stop hitting me finally and realized that it was awesome and finally smiled.  He does love me, it just isn't constant - I guess. 

I so Love Tony -- and thanks for putting up with my BS..I will scare him until we are 90 (Ok he will be 90 and I will be 87...) 

First: our bookclub meeting...It was just me and Kelly and Jaci that showed up, that didn't diminish our conversation at all. We all agreed that this book was great, it actually excited all of us to do more writing that we love, and maybe stalk the author a bit.  I personally found the book to maybe bridge a little gap in my personal life (I am gonna sorta force Tony to read this one).  It's about someone that I wish we could be--someone special that knows everyone and fits in everywhere...A bit of American Royalty...and Tony so identifies with it that I think we could see this together (and we need a baby)...

 Anyways...we had a great discussion about it (while the Yankees fucked up badly...yeah I'm talking more like I do in reality now swearing hateful everything) and I cannot wait to read some of the books mentioned by her (her mothers especially).  This is a good one -- The Bishop's Daughter by Honor Moore -- seriously -- it deals with everything.

Next months book -- I'm very excited about -- The Girls, about conjoined twin chicks!  

 
We want kids and stuff but they aren't exactly knocking down our doors...I'm very disturbed that Leona's last wishes didn't go to her dog...Everything was hers...she left it to what she wanted to.  That's SO FUCKED UP!  Love the whatevers that decided her last wishes weren't good enough so her being is invalidated ... so fucked up....

I feel like if I die tomorrow or next week, anything I want to do with everything that could be mine would never be respected.  Nice way to feel about the non-existent afterlife.  I have no idea how to make our life better for anyone because everythign can be overturned...I'm pretty sure the answer is to have more to drink and buy more shoes.  I swear this is the worst feeling ever...Me and Tony should be daddies to leave something to...I'm just going to waste it all now...I mean cmon...If I die and want to give everything to a dog or Wink or whatever It's so wrong that it will never be respected.  Death sucks now...I'm so going to waste my life even more!!!

BTW -- I'm so freaky in Love with Tony still after 17 years and I would so marry him if it was allowed here (yeah we did our DP years ago here) but I'm weirdly thinking of him all if the time like a schoolboy in love again now...ARGH...

And please, if you are going to throw your baby in a dumpster please think twice and just ship it to us -- we would be such good daddies and need kids (at least 1 preferably 2)...

 Sorry for the rambling tonite but I drank quite a bit today and am so fucking in love with Tony for no good reason  =)

 Tonite me and Tony went out with Karen (a neighbor upstairs) for a late birthday drink (me and her are both 6/11).

 So here is my huge issue -- I'm a lover of cars ...  CRAP and a huge lover of old Corvettes...  (CRAP) and I just got paid (CRAP) and so yeah I just put a ncie bid on this car and I totally hope I don't win but if I do and anyone wants to  buy our Saturn....Cause I refuse to sell the Benz convertible...OMG I want about 7 of these Corvettes...this one is cheaper and attainable...CRAP...

But as I watch Nadal, as ackwardly hot as he is, I'm still reminded of this character...

Check out how much bigger Nadal's left arm is than his right...It's very creepy! 

 Anyways...I am going to have to network from hell anymore to try to get back on top of things so expect more bitching on here.

Something just fell in the kitchen -- I can only hope it's garbage.

I got it a couple of weeks ago and I pretty religiously at leaswt do my daily body check.  I do alot of the exercises as well but have been lax for a few days here and there.  It's really interesting, the wide rang of exercises that you can do with it.  I really enjoy the step training (which is the obvious one).  I finally unlocked boxing training, which I love (the longer you exercise the more you unlock).  There are also alot of balance, strength, yoga poses, and sports (Skiing, snowboard and more).  I find it interesting that you can put the remote in your pocket and jog in place (not on the board) and it reads your speed and calories.

The first week I actually gained a couple pounds, but this week I actually lost 4.  I don't think it would replace most persons exercise, but for someone like me that is stuck working and home all the time, it definitely makes me want to get up and do something.  I think this weekend I will add little weights with the step class.

Tony tried it the first day and never went back...it keeps telling me to tell him to go back, so I may  just end up deleting him, it would be pretty fun to have other people to match up against on it though.

I highly recommend it.  I think the Wii is about the best game system (and I have most) and this enhances it so much more -- I really do think it will be a valuable tool for alot of people that don't get exercise other ways, and it makes you want to keep coming back!

That being said, Tony, our neighbor Martha and I did head down to Simple for an hour or so and had drinks and Chicken fingers (OMG so good there!!) and french fries...so definitely no help on staying fit, but it was fun and that counts more anyways!

Tony is heading down to FL tomorrow for a couple days and I'm sure I will blog more this weekend.  I'm trying to make it a habit...maybe even tell my really screwed up dream from last night, maybe not...    

I went to White Star and met my friend Lou and then we went to Embankment for Bookclub, in hindsite--Lou gave me awesome feedback saying I was the one interested in the book and letting my views be known everything about it -- so that was cool...he's not in bookclub but watched the whole thing.

So the book was "The unbearable lightness of being".  Side note--I found a first edition, first english printing (mispelled on ebay) and bought for $22.  It had never been opened...the next copy was about $99. anyways I like to own nice books.

As far as the group went, almost noone finished the book.  I could understand because it was a tough Czech book to read...I didn't want to finish it, but the last section--it brought the entire book home to me, I cried alot and the book finally made sense. I think 2 of us got through the book and both of us were huge fans.  It maybe took me 7 hours for the book.  I didnt understand (or because I'm lame that way) the first 6 hours of it but the last 1 hour -- OMG it brought the book home and with the Dog and everything I LOVED IT!

So this is a huge Blog already...I'll hint about the next (I LOVE Jaci's sister!...I also love Nintendo Wii) etc...

 The last thing I wanted to say is Congrats to Joe and Dom on their third kid on the way.  We love Logan and Lucas...their first 2...and I could not be happier (unless they gave me and Tony one of their babies!) but their third is now on the way and I could not be happier for them (again unless they give us one)

UGH...Tired now...more about Wii fit (Great -- wears me out, and work has been so killing me...etc etc etc).

 BTW -- I had 6 drinks tonite at Simple and watched the Yankees win, so I'm a little chatty -- sorry about that, but i'm all about drinks and chatting

Thanks again Jaci, Noelle, Lou, Joe, Carrie, Emilia, Joe (the father one)...etc etc...I love you guys! 

Recently at Simple a new kitchen staff took over.  A  nice younger guy named Corey was head of the kitchen and I saw him for a few hours on Saturday when I went over for brunch.  Later that day he couldn't find anything to live for and hung himself.  I'm very upset about this.  He was a young guy with great culinery skills.  Simple was having a hard time with their kitchen and he recently took over.  I spoke to him playfully as he attacked me playfully for liking the Yanks. I just wanna give him respect tonite and let Simple lay low and closed a couple of days outta respect.  I'm pretty upset about this because he was so young and nice and made excellent food and I saw him a few hours before he did what he did...It sucks and is upsetting and noone should go though what he did!

I will blog again tomorrow about bookclub and Wii and more.... 

 First for the Baseball fans...What a great game tonite.  OK closer than it needed to be but Kennedy was a little better.  Unfortunately my play of the game went to (one of the best RF) Markakis (he's in both my fantasy leagues...read that how you will).  He ran the ball down, grabbed it before CF and threw out a double play at second.  Nick has to have one of the best arms in MLB and his accuracy is frightening (which is why when he threw ARod's taken away homer last night it was obvious)..Anyways props to him tonite.  Also a great play was the Yanks (finally) double play.  The best and most exciting the to me tonite was that Girardi finally showed some passion (and altho it was a 1-1 game) went out and fought for his team--he still picked up his hat knowing that accessories like that look good on him.  Anyway I think that made the 9th inning batters come to attention, I actually thought Damon would do it, but Cano came through.  Very entertaining game.

 The small part of this blog that I thought was awesome is that it was so crowded at White Star tonite and a total asshole that basically fagbashed me in a jokingly way at the bar a few weeks ago came up to me and bought me a drink, asked me to step outside (which I did immediately) and then apoligised for being a drunken asshole.  I, of course forgave him because we all do stupid things when we drink, and I'm sure I woulda str8 bashed him.  But then he came back inside and bought my whole dinner/drink tab.  Anyways thanks for Anthony for being a man and stepping up.

 I have a couple more things to write about now (Seamonkeys and Wii Fit) but I also have a luncheon to go to in the city and need some sleep before then so I'll leave you hanging...I have a feeling it will be awesome in the city tomorrow so I will write about that as well I guess.

Sunday I went up to Simple and watched the mess of the Subway series game (11-2 Mets--damn them, and it actually should have been 14-2, with the foul ball fiasco)...with Sal and Lou.  Simple has their food game back on with their re-addition of Wally (he always made good specials there but left and is now back) -- I had the best chicken special ever there!

Anyways then today I got 2 new projects for the week and finished them both about 4 days too early.  I went back up to Simple to do my normal Monday night hangout with my friends (and I'm gonna list their names so they will be google-able)  Lou Hampton and Mike Strothers (bartender) and tonite Joe Calhoun hung out as well.  I of course had the chicken dinner again and brought Tony their new pulled pork sandwich home (he bailed as usual on hanging out).  Good stuff and the Yankees were off so I didn't have to watch them lose finally  

As a side note--one of the regulars at Simple tonite was hanging out with us chatting (he may do some flash work for me) but he said I should do a gay, jersey city, local, sports blog since I am so into baseball.  I never really thought about it, but he said as a straight father of a 9 year old, baseball fan who chats with me alot, he thinks i know my stuff and there may be a little market for it...so I may think about it and see where that leads.  We'll see--something more to do anyways, but may be something fun to do with a different perspective?

 PS..I also put a little webcam on my laptop that I turn on occasionally (altho it's framed by 10 seconds or so and I can't have it on when my work firewall is on) but I caught a great photo of Wiggum on it today when I had it on for 10 minutes or so..it's on the webcam page now until I upload again but here it is as well:

New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) sorta sounded sucky this morning for their Today Show premiere.  Vocals were pretty bad and I kept watching them look at each other to try to get their dance cues.  I'll give them another chance, whatever that means, but so far it's a NO.

I do have hopes for something old becoming something new soon though (again I have my doubts) but 90210 is coming out soon on CW, with original cast members.  When it was on (again in High School and college) I never missed it.  I will be sure to catch the new episodes and see how they play it out, Campy? Dramatic?  Who knows...stay tuned.

Lastly -- these guys are really old (well sort of) but they have been making music over the times...This morning I got reserved Balcony tickets at Hammerstein Ballroom on July 30th 2008 for Collective Soul, Blues Traveller and...my Favorite and reason for going, "Live".  I'm going to try to drag Tony with me since I got us seats instead of being in the general admission Mosh Pit, so hopefully he will go (and we both get autographed posters for getting good seats) but I may have an extra ticket if I cannot talk him into it.
