The Sandlot

After a few days of deliberation and many suggestions and ideas from friends, co-workers and total strangers, i think i decided on what sort of facial hair to go with. Pardon my absolutely horrid ms paint skills, but this picture should give you a rough idea.


Like playing an instrument, i cant draw either. soul patch area is still under consideration.

Cuz this song is for people who know what rock n roll is all about!

Firstly. check this game out: Be a suicice bomber. Yea i laughed like a dickhead the first time i played it and will no doubt be going to hell for it. But give it a whirl. Doesnt have a ton of replay value but the first few are gold.

So, hows about a weekend recap.

Friday night after work i ended up going to slicks with shawn n bf. My other plans to go downtown got all messy and complicated. According to brett, shawn and i had the duty to be moose, meaning we had to get wasted and be annoying fucks. So many beers/screwdrivers/cherrybombs later and we were pretty fucked up. We tossed some darts, jammed some tunes. Then jess amy trish and sam were out in the parking lot. So we went out there to hang out. I gave jess a piggyback ride for some reason, tried to stuff her through trish's driver side window ass first, rammed a few people and did some squat thrusts. They were all like go to daves (mario) so we did like 20 min later. Nothing really happened there except shawn found those sweet aviators on the porch. Then we went over to trish n amy's. Amy and i launched into a 1 on 1 battle to the death of beer pong. About mid way through, princess sara stormed out of her room and left in a huff bitching about something or other. Who cares, that girl sucks. So i whoop amy's ass in beer pong. shawn starts puking so we left soon there after. On the ride home while shawns head is out the window he loses the aviators. BF and I are still upset about this.

Saturday i had off all day. slept in till 1 then bummed around the house all day till i went to this "party" around 9. It was at some douchey hunchback motherfucker who works at shurfine's house. So i roll in and theres candyman,  his brother scott* , his gf, eggleston (who really got fat) , the aforementioned hunchback, then jake moose n roogs. Later on fuda and JP showed up, as did some other turd who had the scummiest shirt n pants on ever. I mean there were more holes in his clothes than a good whore has. So between the awful music (kid rock, various rap, unoriginal/unimpressive generic punk/rock) the heinous people (see above) and the cig smoking, Me jake jp n roogs met shawn over at JP's to play some poker**. I came in 2nd the first game cuz jake lucked out then i got 3rd the last game.

Sunday. Watched the bills play rather poorly and layed around most of the day researching what type of facial hair i want to start rockin***. Then i went down to the football field to play some football. Good time despite hacing only 7 people. I caught many td passes, threw a couple and wrecked some kids till teddy fell over and hurt himself, causing the end of the game.




* Funny story about me n scott. During highschool football, he being a big guy, was a lineman. I was of average/slightly less than average height and size so i played db and wr. But i can hit like a bastard. We were running scout Offense vs 1st team D. I forget what the play was, i think a screen. The RB had the ball and was starting to run, Scott was running to try n make the tackle. I think i was playing WR and i saw this developing so i went to go hit/block scott. I had a full head of steam when we collided and he went down like sack of shit. Mark B, (mr. nice) who was running this show while capen n McCarthy were doing other stuff with other players, let out this loud HOLY SHIT! causing the entire practice to stop and look over to see me standing over a crumpled broken scott. boy was his face red.

**I know that forever i preached about how hold 'em was a trend for frat boys etc etc. my stance on the matter has softened somewhat. Ive played a few times now with jake shawn moose roogs n jp and its not that bad. Would i play with people other than them? probably not. Its acually kinda fun playing with those guys cuz they dont take it real serious, except for moose, but thats another story.

*** Ive been cleanshaven, not counting the few odd times i was too lazy to shave and let a little stubble grow, for the better part of 2 years now. In highschool i always had some sort of facial air growing. I went clean after graduating in 2001 for about a year. Then in 2003 when i had knee surgery i grew out the 8 inch goatee for awhile. Since knixing that ive gone bare. Now im bored and want something, i just dont know what. So suggest me a style to grow in the next week or so and ill do the best sounding option, no matter how ridiculous it might be.

Shawn with the hot ass Aviators we found on Mario's porch. he died about an hour later after i crushed amy in beer pong. I'm going to bed now after i tinkle.

Having a bit of trouble falling asleep tonight so some random jargon shall we.

I gave in and played texas hold em for the first time ever at JP's saturday night. Wouldn't you know it but I won it all. 60 dollars to me. It was a decent time, don't know if I'll make a habit of it, probably not. I think I'd kill moose if I have to play with him again. Terrible. (maybe more on that in the future)

You'd think the last thing one should do after a shot of shrimp scampi sauce is eat some mighty taco, but that shit is good for what ails ya. Set my stomach straight.

So the bills lost. Its only 1 game and we got a rookie at the helm. Simmer down folks.

nate mcfarlane sent me a friend request on facebook.com. REJECTED!

I ended up cooking all by my lonesome for the first time ever tonight for 2 hours. Admittedly I was kinda scared woking without a net but I faked my way through it.

School is going ok. I have fun somedays, less fun others.

I'm going to red lobster tuesday with 2 of the hottest girls I've ever known.
No that was not a joke or typo, I'm for serious.

I've come to the realization that I'm somewhat of a trend setter. Example, look how many people have blogs now.

Lets get some random pictures in this biotch:



For all you yankmee fans

Heres the part where normally i would give a full blown concert recap. But theres better things to be had on this night so I'll make it brief. Hurst was good, Thornley was great, Three Days Grace was better than expected. Me E and Erik got tons of free schwag at the show. 3 shirts, 4 picks and a set list between the 3 of us. The concert was in a huge ass tent, which was odd yet cool. Pics to come on the yahoo page shortly. We were center stage right on the security rail for the whole 4 hours.

So after the show i met up with everyone at Scruples. Jake, Shawn, Moof, Bandit, Tos and Mizz, with new girl Jackie (i hope thats spelled right) were all there. So we're hanging out, shootin darts and drinking etc when Tos is like, Bandit tell Cam the story.

Well, ladies and gentleman, it turns out that our beloved Kennith Albert was born with only 1 kidney. After your done laughing, read that over again and know that I am 100% serious. He has no left kidney.

Also i was told that jake broke burt's nose over at Tos' during a cd war and subsequent dogpile incident.

One last item of note, the studio version of Big City Life is the most devine song ever. Yes i know the cd doesn't come out for 3 more days but I got that song a little early. So eat it.

Matt Good is playin club infinity on Friday October 14th, be a dear and go by yourself a ticket and go to the show. Tickets are 22 bucks, all ages general admission seating. You can buy them online at tickets.com or at any Tops location. Since we're all big boys n girls i trust you can do that with out my help since i've already given you a shove in the right direction.

Throughout my many years of working at the restaurant I've had to run countless errands. I go to places like Tops, keynons, the wine n liquor outlet, other restaurnants and Niagara produce. Its not like i volunteer for this duty, just something that comes with the territory and stigma of being the boss' son.

Possibly the only benefit of all this is that i get outta the kitchen and get to see soem fresh faces. At places like Tops and NP(niagara produce) theres always the possibility of seeing some hot counter help.

NP, if you've ever gone there, has always employed females to handle register duties and such. Tops is like 50-50 male to female and any other place i go to is a crap shoot cuz its either older people or ghetto scum. I'll let you figure out which type of person works at what places.

NP set the standard for hotties working there though. On any given visit thered be at least 3 of em working at the pick-up register where i would go to get the restaurant orders. It was like this for years. Last year we stopped dealing with NP, which was a sad day. But recently we've gone back to them. I had hoped my bi-weekly trips would be as good as they used to be with the counter help issue. Sadly though, i regret to report that hot counter help is no longer present at NP, at least not the last 4 times ive been there in the past month.

It seems that Tops is the new leader in hot counter help in the lockport area. At least of the places that i frequent on a regular basis. Who knows, there could be some other place around here that is just teeming with fine snatch. So if you know of such a place, do tell.

Quickly before I head off to another bad idea. Today is the season and home opener for our beloved Buffalo Billygoats. I shall be there, along with the former remenats of the party wagon crew drinking too much too early in the day for our own goods. Im well aware that today is the 11th. 4 years ago kids. Time to move on. More upon my return.

Ok so maybe it wasn't that bad, but it was damn close. Perhaps one of the first times I've ever been scared in a classroom.

As I mentioned in a previous entry, one of my professors is this somewhat elderly gentleman. He has a heavy accent and is pretty soft spoken. The class I have him in is a decent sized lecture hall, probably seats 150 people give or take. Most teachers use a microphone for such classes, this guy being no exception. However, Mr. Hong or whatever his name is, happens to struggle a bit with the mic. Everytime he uses it, it makes this harsh- high pitched squealing noise so he's forced to turn it off and try to be heard normally, which usually never works and results in no one paying attention.

So that happens today and he's babbling up front for about 5 minutes. I'm sitting toward the back not paying attention, talking to Mario and emilie and next thing we know we're supposed to be taking some quiz. So we're like what the fuck. So we do the quiz and guy starts going over the answers. This is where the fireworks begin. Some kid raises his hand to ask a question, next thing we know him and the teacher are in a somewhat heated argument. We can't really hear what's being said for awhile cuz a lot of people are talking. Next thing we know, Wang pulls out the race card and just starts shouting at this kid. "I taught this blah blah, I'm not gonna say what you are saying but you know what I'm talking about etc etc." I swear he was like 5 seconds away from spin kicking someone in the head. We're all like whoa.

So then the professor is about to launch into his lecture and power point. He starts flying through these slides that are just loaded with shit we're supposed to write down as notes but he's going too fast and no one can keep up. So someone raises their hand and asks if he can slow down or that they cant understand. Dude really loses it this time. Tells this girl to shut up, so she walks out. Meanwhile everyone else is laughing or talking and he's getting more pissed. People are trying to ask him things or help him settle the situation but he keeps mis-understanding everything and getting more upset and lashing out at more students. More people get up and leave, there's like 45 min left in class at this point and he's all like "good go I don't want you here."

I'm just sitting there, transfixed in awe as the situation keeps deteriorating. People keep saying shit and hes nearing the breaking point. Next thing i know hes not even speaking English anymore and he rants in Korean or whatever for a good 90 seconds. Finally, things start to calm down slightly as most of the pissed kids left and Wong is relaxing slightly. So he lectures for about 30 min or so then class is over and theres a whole line of people who go down to talk to him after class.

Some girls video tape all this on their cell phones. I later came to find out that he had a blow up episode like this in the other section of the course on Tuesday, in which he kicked a girl out. So as of now, i know many people have gone to the department head and complained about this guy and are doing whatever it is scorned college kids do in this situation. Me, i just sat n watched and really didnt care much. I mean what can i do? Its a required course to graduate and hes the only person teaching it... for the moment anyways. But yea, things got hairy for a few moments there. Who knows what tuesday will bring.

So i changed the color scheme, the title etc etc. I think it looks a little better. And to be honest the bound for the floor title was only supposed to be a temp place holder till I thought of something better. I got lazy. This one probably won't stay for long either but I figured since I was changing everything else to go for it. I'll come up with something solid in the near future and stick with it. Something that hopefully doesn't suck like santos sucks at tigre.

On that note, go to wads blog and feast your eyes on a spectacle the likes of which you'll never see again. I also have the videos he mentions. Priceless stuff.

Id also like to welcome Sir Joseph Slumba to the blogging community. Great guy who always has interesting stuff to say, so check him out.

I've been busy as shit with school n work, havent had much time to myself other than sleep time but thats changing.

BF tells me hes gonna compile a massive music archive, now that he has a 250gb hard drive, comprised of just about everyones files. We'll see how that turns out. In the mean time, hit up my shared folder, lots of new additions.

Till next time, fly into the blue.

Before you even start, stop. I know basically none of you even know who The Trews are, much less have heard any of their songs or write them off before even hearing them. Well, its time we changed all that.

Joey and myself went to Arizona's tonight to see them. They brought the house down. They seriously put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen in my life. I don't know how they are flying so low below the radar. They have 2 cds. House of Ill Fame and the recently released Den of Theives. Both of them are solid throughout, not a weak track in there. They just finished opening up for the rolling stones and are about to go on tour opening up for Robert Plant (former lead singer of Led Zepplin.) As for the concert...

They played a good mix of tunes off both cd's as well as two awsome zepplin covers. The guitarist is maybe the sickest individual I've ever witnessed grinding an ax. He almost puts guys like Ian Thornley and Jeff Martin to shame with his energy and just wicked talent. The lead singer has one of the better voices I've heard, sounding just as clear live as on the cds. He also plays the piano and guitar. The drummer was sweet, not as good as blackie from thornley but he held it down. The bass player was the most laid back guy out there but he was no slouch.

The concert was going great, until the guy standing in front of us decided that was a good place to take a leak. I felt something wet lightly hitting my feet and was like what the hell. Then we see douche, hands in his pants, just going, not even giving us the courtesy of the kneel down. Then to our right was this huge posse of just really sloppy drunks. They took their shirts off, the played tug of war with a scummy sweat towel the guitarist tossed in the crowd. They were completely shot individuals. Aside from that though, great time, i even came away with a drum stick.

If this band isnt just huge in the near future, then theres somethign wrong with this planet and the people in it. So do me, the trews, and yourself a favor. Dip into my shared folder and nab these cd's. You won't regret it.
