| MCDOUGLE SHOT |

Ok this has been bothering me for a while and i'm just now getting around to posting something about it.
Jerome McDougle is a defensive player for the Philadelphia Eagles. He was shot in the stomach in Miami a few weeks ago by some carjackers, he's going to miss the season probably, ok whatever, thats not the part that bothered me...
what bothered me is that on Channel 6 - Philadelphia's local ABC station, they felt the need to make a graphic since i guess someone figured they're going to be talking about this story for a while, so why not make a graphic? Ok well this was no ordinary graphic. It was McDougle's picture with text underneath stating "MCDOUGLE SHOT", which, in itself really isn't too offending... but right to the left of the graphic, they had BULLETS. FUCKING BULLETS. Who the fuck gave the OK to run this graphic? And is the local media so obsessed with violence that they have to run a graphic with Mcdougle's picture, MCDOUGLE SHOT in huge capital letters, and fucking BULLETS NEXT TO IT?
WHAT THE FUCK?
i really wish i could find that graphic, i did a quick search on google to see if they posted it on the wpvi website somewhere, but to no avail. It seriously was some shit. |

The party was great! They fucked us over by making it 21+ the morning of the party, but whatever, we still pulled over 200 kids. Tom and I spun from like 9-1015 in the main room, then i got my own slot from 12-1 in the main room. Shit was tight, i went on at the same time X-Dream did, so for the first 40 minutes of my set, it was pretty dead. The last 20 minutes people started pouring in, and by the last track there was a decent amount of people listening so i was happy. Bill was nervous and freaking out all night but he did a great job and the party was a success. Nothing but good reviews on NRO, which is rare.
Ignition is looking good, we have the flyers and we'll start promoting this weekend. Tom (the owner of the pennnant) is going to put the flyer in local newspapers and shit to help us promote. Hopefully we pull a shitload of kids because we get 100% of the door.
Gators is pretty OK, one of the cooks stabbed another cook so he's fired which means more shifts available. That place is nothing but drama.
I got madden 2k6 and it's pretty beat. I'm just not as amped for this one as i was the past 2 years. I stood outside of gamestop last week for a half hour to wait for the midnight release and i only played a few games so far. They have a new feature where you have to actually look at your receiver, then pass to him. It's fucking stupid and i dont like it. Maybe ill get used to it but i doubt it. I cant wait for xbox 360 to come out in a couple months... it's only going to be 300 bucks too which is awesome. I'm definitely getting that shit.
I'll update in another week or so. Peace kids! |

Guys, forensic files is awesome. It's so fucking crazy how they can figure shit out. There are SO SO SO many different ways you can fuck up when you decide to kill someone. This guy sold CB radios on ebay and he kept fucking over customers, so one day one of the customers made a pipe bomb, no fingerprints, completely fake return address, sent the package from another state, dude gets the package, opens it, blows up, dude dies. The investigators found a piece of the battery used to detonate the bomb, there was a tiny serial number on the battery that they looked up, it turns out that serial number was for the date and location the battery was made. Then they looked up customers from dead dude in that area, one guy came up, it was him. They went to his house, searched his computer, found the fake address in the printer cache, along with a package of batteries with the same serial number and one battery missing... BAM. Caught.
He would have gotten away with it if he scratched that serial number off. Thats great.
Anyways... working at Gators again. Hot as balls in the kitchen. Whatever.
We have our next party set up, "Ignition" September 10th at the Pennant! We got Odi, Mike Myers, J-Smooth, Swingkidd, Me, Tom, Brent, KevinEdge, and Pete. The pennant has a loud ass system i cant wait to rock it. Everyone who reads this and goes to the pennant on the regular should hit up our party! Its 21+ and its 13 dollars or 10 dollars with a flyer, out of state ID, or college ID.
RAVE AT THE PENNANT... WOOOO!!!! |

Sorry for not keeping you all up to date. I know how many of you read this shit religiously. Ok well, actually.. only Taliana complained that i havent been updating... so here you go tali:
Alright well school is done. I got a B in crime analysis SOMEHOW. That class was so fucking hard, and i know i completely blew the final. I have no idea how i pulled a B. I also got a B in Public Administration. That class was easy. I haven't gotten my Biology grade back yet since i just finished that class (it was a 7 week course). There is a chance i pulled an A in bio though.. i had a 90 with 2 tests and a lab to go, i got a 87 on the one test and a 95 on the lab, and i dont know what i got on the final test. Hopefully i get that A.
Anyways, so unemployment ran out just in time for school to be over. I have over 60 credits now, which means police departments can start taking me. I had to sniff out departments that hired directly (not thru civil service testing) because as of now, direct hiring is my only hope. That's ok though, because my number 1 choice, gloucester twp PD, hires directly. So does Runnemede. So i filled out these insanely long applications (like 20 pages each), they wanted to know all kinds of crazy info, like every ticket i ever got, my friends social security numbers, and high school transcripts.
In the mean time, i got my old job back at Gators. I start Monday. Rob said he would fill me in wherever he could, and i would eventually get full time hours. I'm glad im back there... most of the kitchen staff is still there from when i left 5 years ago. I always liked it there.
The party in Allentown hit a major bump in the road. The club owner isn't letting bill use both rooms of the club because bill made the price at the door 10 dollars. The owner wanted at least 15, but nobody would pay that much to see xdream and locals. Bill did what he had to. We're only working with one room now, and Tom and i got bumped down to an early tag spot. It's all good though. We'll rock the fuck out of that club. Also, we have another party coming up at the PENNANT of all places. The owner of the pennant is all about letting us use the place for a party. We got a decent lineup too, but it's not totally confirmed yet so i'm not going to say anything until it is.
A bunch of us went to see Oakenfold at Emerald City tonight. Man.. i've said it before and i'll say it again. FUCK THE HATERS. Everyone hates on the big time DJs like Oaky, but he threw down mad hard shit and kids were going CRAZY just like at Area:1. People think that because they buy a Paul Oakenfold CD that they know what he sounds like live. That is total bullshit. Oakenfold knows what people really want to hear, and it sure as hell isnt starry eyed surprise. He fucking tore shit up.
Let's see.. what else... i saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the other day, holy fucking shit that movie is AWESOME. Everyone must see it. It was so excellently done. Tim Burton is the fucking man.
Ok so hopefully i get decent hours at Gators and even more hopefully, i get called by one of the police departments.
I'll try to update this more on the regular. |

So it's thursday again. I can't believe there are only 2 weeks left of my first summer session. Then i start Public Personnel Administration which is taught by a different teacher thank GOD. This guy is boring as fuck and gives tests with questions nobody was prepared to answer. His excuse for not giving a study guide is "people expect too much certainty in life". Yeah well when your GPA is on the line, it's kind of nice to know what material is going to be on the test. Asshole.
My fucking car broke. It's the alternator. I have to order the part from the auto parts store up the street and Tom or Ursi can help me put it in. They say it's easy, i know jack shit about cars so i'll have to trust them. My car's a PIECE anyway.. i'll be lucky if something else doesnt go wrong.
Unemployment fucked me yet AGAIN. Every time theres a slight change in my information, they give me a check for zero dollars and i have to call them up and bitch them out. Last time it was because i moved, this time it's because i started school. The bitch said that they have to make sure i'm taking less than 12 credits or else i would be considered a full time student and therefore not available for work. I would think they would know how many credits i'm taking since theyre paying for them anyway. Stupid fucks. So i'm getting my check tomorrow instead of 2 days ago.
The party is looking GREAT. We're a couple days away from finalizing everything. We're booking DJ X-Dream and Jeff Heart. That should be good enough to bring mad people out i hope. Mike Saga is doing the flyers. He does such a great job, i know theyre going to be bangin. We might ask him to bring his crew up and take over the side room, but that has yet to be discussed. We need to fill that side room with decent DJ's. So it's looking like 500 for X-Dream and 300 plus travel expenses for Jeff. Saga wants 150 or so for the design, and we're going to ask Jeff to bring a projector for visuals so that might be extra. Not too bad... it's going to end up being about a 250 dollar investment for each of us. Even if the party completely bombs, it's not that much of a loss. I really doubt it will bomb. We need to draw 500 to get a second party, and that's a shitload of people. It can be done if we promote the fuck out of it.
There's a free party tomorrow night at Transit. That's fucking sweet. Nigel Richards, Mike Myers and shit. The last time Transit had a free party on a friday was for Acosta. I havent seen Nigel since the Zoolu party in New Orleans 2 years ago.
This weekend i have to do a shitload of homework, so after the Transit party, no more going out for me. I have 4 papers due in Biology in a couple weeks, and stupid shit for Crime Analysis. I was told today that the final in that class will be open workbook... so i guess that's a releif.
Peace kids.
P.S. This is by far the best mood icon ever. |

The weekends are so much sweeter when you feel like you've earned them.
Biology is starting to get fucking hard. We had a lab today that i barely got through, and monday is a huge test with like 100 questions. I was breezing through everything until we got to organic chemistry and bonding. I understand it, but i know it's only going to get harder.
I also got Art from Commerce Bank off my fucking back for another week. He calls me every god damned day and asks me the same fucking questions. I finally broke it down to him that i have other financial obligations that take precedence over my loan payment. If i stop paying my phone bill my phone gets shut off, if i stop paying car insurance, i cant drive... if i'm short on a loan payment? EXACTLY. You cant do shit. So shut the fuck up and live with what i give you for now. I'm giving them 200-300 every two weeks to catch up on my late payments. He bitches when its only 200. Dickhead.
This weekend i'm not doing anything because i'm broke. Story of my life. |

So on Thursday night Lena and I went to Hibachi. I love that place, it's really fun. I hadn't been there in a year or so and lena has never been there and she loved it. After that, we went to old city and hit up a bunch of bars. We ended up at this belgian bar called Eulogy which was awesome. I definitely want to go back there sometime. It's a belgian bar with all kinds of crazy beers on tap that i've never heard of. Lena had a beer called Lucifer and i guess it didnt mix well with the tequila from earlier, so she was a mess. It was fun.
Tonight, Bill and angel are coming over and we're drinking here since we're broke. Tomorrow Drew is having a BBQ, i'm going to try to hit it up if i wake up at a decent hour tomorrow. |

School is great so far. Public Administration and Crime Analysis are going to be so easy. I have Prof. Evans who never takes attendance and gives you study guides for the tests. Trevelino actually still teaches there, but i dont have him unfortunately.
Bio is also going to be easy. The teacher isnt using the book, she just puts up notes on a projector and we copy them down. She also gives study guides. It's a lot of notes but i'm good at memorizing shit. The projects are going to be easy as well, i'll just bullshit my way thru them.
There's a fat lady in my bio class that sits next to me and i swear she drinks at least 3 snapples per class. I call her the snapple monster. How is she that thirsty? I guess being fat makes you thirsty. She also has a mustache.
After school tonight i'm going to pick up lena at the train station. She's gonna get raped. |

Hey kids! You'd think that since i'm unemployed again that i would update this more often. Oh well.. i guess it comes down to me not having much to update on. This time, though, i do have a LOT to update on. Check it out:
I start school monday! I went today to register and i got almost all the classes i wanted to (they fucked up on my ethics class and i missed the sign up date). Like i said before, i'm taking Biology, Public Administration, and Crime Analysis. I'm taking Public Personnel Administration in the second summer session. It's too bad that my favorite teacher retired, Tony Trevelino. He was the fucking man. By far my favorite teacher ever. He was probably the most interesting person i've ever met and certainly the best story teller in the world. He was a philly cop for 20 years so every class he would have a different story. Oh well, i'm sure some goober will be teaching me about criminal justice now.
On another note... Bill knows this guy that comes into his gym who owns a nightclub in Allentown. The guy mentioned to Bill that business has been slow lately and he doesnt draw enough people into the club. So they got to talking and he offered Bill to take over the club for one night in July. It's going to be a weekday night but since it's during summer, it shouldnt be too bad. Tom, Brent, and I are going to spin. The club has 20,000 watts of sound and really good lighting and equipment. The guy told Bill that if the night goes well, he will allow monthly or maybe even weekly events that Bill can control. We're going to print up flyers and promote the shit out of the party to see what kind of pull we get. Bill is going to hand out flyers all over Allentown and Tom and I are going to get philly and jersey... although i doubt many kids will travel from my area to Allentown to see locals. It's still an opportunity and it will be fun as hell no matter what happens.
So when i get my next check i'm going to go record shopping for the first time in 2 years or so. I bought a couple records online last week too. I need a new mixer (or get my DJM500 fixed) and some new needles. I'm going to get a new demo out by the time we play at that party, and hopefully more opportunities arise out of this. Bill has been talking to Sykopath, a new york DJ whos been throwing parties for years, and he gave bill a bunch of advice and even offered to get him a deal if he wants to book NY dj's like Gonzo in the future. I would definitely love to see those guys throw a party with us. Gonzo a fucking legend and has been a favorite of mine since i started going to parties.
Here's to this summer... hopefully it doesn't suck balls like last year. |

In other news, Owens is probably going to hold out on the eagles next year because he wants more money. He claims the eagles "took advantage" of him last year when they signed him so they low balled him knowing he would take it because he didn't want to be in baltimore. The eagles are one team that doesn't fuck with that kind of thing. They've let people go in the past Owens won't be an exception. This really sucks. I mean, you signed the contract asshole, deal with it. It's not like he doesn't get 10 million plus in endorsement deals on top of his 7 million a year or however much he gets as his salary. Not to mention the eagles let him play in the superbowl, risking MAJOR injury on someone they signed for like 7 years. They didn't have to let him play, but they did.. against doctors orders, against medical staffs orders. They did Owens a huge favor by letting him play in the superbowl, and this is how he repays them.
FUCK YOU OWENS. If you hold out you will be HATED for the rest of your career. |

***If you're against drugs... stop reading here. I don't need a fucking lecture***
OK guys.. i'll level with you.
Tonight was crazy.
Tom and I decided earlier that we would go to the party at God's Basement. I had been to God's like once before like 5 years ago.. but it was kinda like a reunion thing and there was nothing else to do, so we went.
To my surprise, they had alcohol there. I got a bracelet and had 3 rum and cokes and 2 vodka cranberries.
These were serious drinks too.. they loaded them. I was pretty fucking hammered.
So around 2am comes an opportunity to get a pill... i'm like whatever.. i'm drunk and i dont feel like drinking anymore.. what the hell.. i give tom the last 15 dollars i have and he gets a pill for me and him.
Holy Fucking Shit.
Honestly.... never in my life... 7+ years of eating ecstacy pills have i EVER.. and i mean EVER... had a pill kick my fucking ass as bad as this ONE pill did.
I was drunk as fuck and this pill not only sobered me up.. but completely FUCKED me.
I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing..... it proves to me that there are still really really REALLY good pills out there. I'm sorta glad i didnt bring more money than i did.. cause i would have bought more.
Holy shit man... like i said.. i don't normally write livejournal posts about my drug use... but holy shit guys.. i'd just like to let all my "still doing drugs once in a while" friends know... there are some seriously good pills still out there. I know i don't normally write about shit like this.. and for those of you who know me... i'm someone who normally takes about 5-6 pills to get completely fucked up... i'm telling you.... one pill tonight utterly and completely fucked me. That has NEVER... i repeat.. NEVER happened before. Not since the very first time i ate a pill.
After we left the party i got pulled over.. rolling face mind you..... and i guess i must have said the right things, because the cop let me go. He shined his flashlight RIGHT in the spot in my window where there's SUPPOSED to be an inspection sticker about 5 times (i have no inspection sticker).. STILL no ticket. He told me "ok man.. next time you get pulled over in philly and a cop smells alcohol in the car.. you tell him your friend (tom) was the one drinking and youre fine and they will let you go. I'm taking your beer, now go home"
Awesome. |

Alright well here we are.. the end of the road for A19. I've lived here over 2 years and, in many ways, it was wasted time. Don't get me wrong, i wouldnt trade the memories for anything and i don't regret a thing, but i was unemployed half of the time and i barely made ends meet. I'm pretty much in the same spot i was when i moved in. I was 22 years old, never had the college party experience and i guess i needed to get that out of my system.
Well... all that is about to change.
My life is going to make a complete 180 over the next year. The lease for the apartment is up next week. I'm moving back home for the summer while i go back to school. Yeah, thats right, i'm finally going back to school. Real school this time, not bullshit computer school that did nothing but put me in a 10,000 dollar hole. I went to Camden County College today, got my transcript and talked to a counselor about what my options were. I found out that i needed 5 more classes to earn my associates degree in criminal justice. I also found out that i can take all of these classes over the summer. It's going to be difficult, but it's going to be done. I'm going to have my degree when this summer is over. I'm taking Biology, Crime Analysis, Intro to Ethics, Public Administration and Public Personnel Administration. All of the courses are 5 weeks long except Bio, which is 8 weeks. The Ethics class is an online course. The hardest part will be the first 5 week session, where i'll have 4 classes. The second 5 week session will only consist of the remainder of Bio and Public Personnel Administration.
How am i going to pay for this? Well, i think this is the world's way of evening things out for me after what happened with the Cittone Institute. Wasting 10,000 dollars on that school was the worst decision i ever made. Graduating from that school (with honors i might add) did absolutely NOTHING for me, opened exactly ZERO opportunities and did not prepare me for the certifications they said they would. So getting back to how i'm paying for college.... the state has a tuition waiver program for unemployed students. They completely waive the tuition fees. All i have to do is pay for lab fees and books. The state will even extend my unemployment benefits when they expire, as long as i'm still in school.
After i get my degree, i have to take the civil service test, then it's only a matter of finding a job on a police force somewhere. Hopefully i can get into the Gloucester Township PD because i grew up there and i know the area really well. Not to mention they have one of the highest pay rates in the state.
So thats it kids. This summer i'm going to be extremely busy with school. I probably won't be able to hang out too much, but it's ok. I did more than my share of partying over the past 2+ years.
Ok, so here's to my future. I'm not going to be a fucking loser anymore. |

Not too much to update on...
I started going back to the gym - i figure i'm paying for it, why not get my money's worth? I was sore as fuck again since i hadn't gone in 3 weeks or so.
I have to go to a stupid re-employment seminar tomorrow morning. If i don't go, i stop getting unemployment checks, so i'm not complaining too much. I got a phone call for an interview on monday morning, but it was for part time data entry. If it's not full time, its not worth me taking.
March 31st is coming faster than a fucking freight train. I really don't want to move back home. I keep getting horror stories from Laurie, telling me how my old room is filled with toys and mess from my little brother and his friends. Not to mention the dog hair everywhere. I need to find a GOOD job quick, i can't be trapped in that house for too long, i'll kill someone.
I'm having one last A19 party before we leave. It's on Friday, March 18th (next friday). Anyone can come, provided they respect me and my stuff. I'm filling the bathtub with ice, so i expect everyone to bring their own beer and use that as the cooler. Also, people can smoke in the living room if they want, because i know my bathroom cant hold like 20 people at once since most of my friends smoke.
Alright, i'd better get to bed since i have to be up at 7:30 for this stupid orientation. I think i'm going to the Pennant tomorrow because Laurie said she was going. I'll probably go with her. |

So last night me, jim, and dennis went to main street. I didn't drink as much as i normally would, because i had to drive. I stopped drinking around 12-1230, we left at 2. I get pulled over on the way home for a 'tail light out' which was complete bullshit because i dont have a tail light out. The cop makes me do all kinds of sobriety tests, i had to say the alphabet from G thru Q, then stick my foot out for like 20 seconds (which i ended up failing because who the fuck can honestly do that when theyre nervous as fuck?) then he made me walk heel to toe back and forth, then he was about to let me go when the other asshole cop made me follow his pen back and forth. He was like 'well you have had SOMETHING tonight', im like 'yeah, a few hours ago, but i'm the designated driver'. So they let me go, and the funniest part was that i had NO inspection sticker and they didn't even notice that.
Wow talk about dodging a bullet. Drew's brother just got a DWI, and Giuli got one a little while ago too. I thought i was fucked when he pulled me over. |

Alright well it's been like 3 weeks since my last update... mainly because i got fired from Baxter. I failed a drug test a while back and the nurse at work told me not to worry about it, and that she would cover for me. Well needless to say, i did have something to worry about. I failed for amphetamines, which is in adderall, which i took one day when i had to work a double shift on 4 hours sleep. They wanted to see a prescription or a doctors note on script, so i was fucked. I don't know any doctors, and i sure as hell can't get a prescription bottle with my name on it. So i'm unemployed again. I'm getting some money from unemployment, not as much as i got last time, but it's enough to sustain. I hate the fact that i'm starting back from scratch again. I don't want to sound like i'm full of excuses or i'm complaining but i seriously have the worst fucking luck. The lockheed shit was outrageous. That was 100% completely not my fault. This time, yeah, it was my fault for taking adderall, but i didn't know i would be tested, and it was 3 days after i took adderall so i figured it would be cool. Now everyone at Baxter is telling my aunt and dave that i failed for marijuana. I don't know why people have to twist things around and lie like that. People should just keep their fucking mouths shut if they don't know whats going on.
I've had 2 interviews since i got fired. One was for another temp agency, another was for a manufacturing job. The guy at the manufacturing job took a look at my resume and basically told me this isnt th ekind of job i'm looking for and that he didn't want to waste my time. He was right, it was working in a metal shop cutting fiberglass and metal into bearings. It was only paying like 10 bucks too. Fuck that, i'm worth more than that. I had to take all kinds of aptitude tests at the temp agency and i aced them no problem. I found out that i type 80 words per minute too which was higher than i thought. Hopefully that lands me a job. I interviewed there like 2 weeks ago though and i havent heard anything yet.
I'm moving out of A19 March 31st. My mom still doesnt know i'm moving home. I don't want to admit to it myself. I dont like the fact that i'm going to have to see that waste of life bob every day, and i dont even want to think about all the fucking dog hair. Ugh.. no internet either which sucks. Laurie wants to get a place though, so when i get my next job, hopefully she still wants to and we can get a place. Until then i'll probably suffer at home. Theres no way i can live without internet though so i think laurie and i are going to get high speed internet for our rooms. That will allow me to keep my xbox live account too which would be cool.
So anyway, i know everything is going to end up okay. I just have to keep my head up. I've been on monster and careerbuilder every day looking for new jobs. I know i'll find one.
Peace kids. |

You follow a team year after year. Every year you get let down. Sometimes you wonder if it's worth the investment of time and emotion. The past three years have ripped my heart out. Getting to the NFC Championship Game only to lose all three times. I had to put up with the eagles haters, and believe me, there are a fuckton of them out there. I had to hear about philly choking year after year, and how they will never make the superbowl. Through all the bullshit i stuck with this team. Is it all worth it?
Fuck Yes it is.
One more win. |

Well i'm on day 2 of the gym and im sore as fuck. I ran 2 miles yesterday and 2 more today and wednesday the personal trainer showed me all the weight equipment. They have these weight resistant machines called strive machines which are awesome. Each station works a different muscle group, so i just go from machine to machine and never really get too tired. The down side to that is i'm fucking sore all over right now. After talking to the personal trainer again today, i decided i should only work on the weights every other day. On the days i'm not doing weights ill do extra cardio. I could have run a lot longer but i didn't want to push myself.
As far as the drug test thing, the doctors office told me that my only option is to talk to the nurse at work, and that was kind of a relief because i'm cool with her, we bullshit all the time. So i tell her the deal and she tells me not to worry about it because all the drug testing stuff goes through her and if i can get a note from my mom saying i take adderall sometimes, that will be good enough and she can disregard the failed test. The test only showed a low dose of amphetamines anyway and my story matches up, plus its not like i come into work all fucked up all the time. Hopefully this is all put to rest when i hand her the note.
This weekend i have NO idea what i'm doing. If anyone has any ideas let me know. It's supposed to snow like a sonofabitch saturday and sunday, which means the eagles game should be a blizzard. Lena is supposed to come down sunday morning with giuli jen and carl and we're all supposed to go tailgating but with this crazy snow i dont think thats going to happen.
GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$()($*(#)* |

First of all.. THE EAGLES WON!!!
Back to the NFC championship game for the 4th time in a row. If they don't win this time, my head will definitely explode.
On another note... i joined a gym!
The gym next to my work. I went for the open house today and got the tour. They have really nice high tech equipment there. The cardio equipment has built in headphones and you can put a CD in and listen, or watch whatever you want on TV. They have spinning classes, a pool, really nice weight equipment, and extremely hot girls work there. I'm going to go every day after work for an hour or so, since its right next door. They have a special for people at my work, so i only pay like 45 a month as opposed to 55 regularly.
Yeah, so i'm going to be RIPPED MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!! GET ON THIS!!!!!!! |
