Ah Crap... I've been meaning to write in here for sooooooo long. Since my last entry a lot of big things have happened in my life, I wanted to give most of these things their own entry, but things left undone become become harder, so I will just write a crash course entry instead.
Bergen Community College
I finally graduated from Bergen Community College and got my Associates in Liberal Arts!! This is a huge deal for me. It took longer than expectcted to finish, but I went through at my own pace, and thats just fineeeeeee.. Fact is I finished! I didn't hate BCC, but after a while that place became a dark cloud over my life and its so nice to see the clear blue beyond it now. I am the first person in my family to get a college degree, and it feels great to be moving on to the next level!
California
Was AMAZING!! I will remember it forever.. It was so nice getting to see Rockelle again, i missed her. Roman and I had some fun west coast adventures. We ate space cakes and went to disneyland! It was awesome because during decemeber at the Cali. Disney park the Haunted Mansion ride becomes the Nightmare Before Christmas ride! It was awesome.. We ate sonic, I saw all 3 famous Blvd's, Chilled on the beach while there was a snowstorm in Jersey, hung out at a few hot spots, saw Courtney Love (i think i got an STD from looking at her), saw Paul Stanley (Tried to convince roman to get into a fight with him, haha), and just enjoyed every minute of it
Thank You Scientist
At the moment, Tempus is on a hiatus. Everyone in the band just wanted to take some time off and do our own thing for a bit, we will probably make music together some day soon.. In the mean time I started up a new group called Thank You Scientist. I am soooooo excited for this project. I've been wanting to make music like this for a longggggg time and now I feel like i've found the right musicians to help make interesting, technical, challenging, catchy music with. Keep an eye out for this project, there are good things to come.
The Holidays
Were nice. I got to spend a lot of time with my family. Adara was adorable.. as usual.. My favorite time was when she put her first ornament on the Christmas tree by her self and got soooooooo excited and started clapping! it was priceless. I rang in 2009 in a retro house. Our friends new apartment who the tenants before them left all their belongings from the 70s. We were listening to Stevie Wonder 8-track, We listened to the ball drop on the radio cuz there was no tv, haha.. It was fun. I've got a good feeling about 2009.
After new years, my parents went to disney world for 9 days. It was great having the house to myself for that long, and now more than ever I want to move out and live on my own.. Im still not ready for that though.
Montclair State University
After getting my degree at BCC I transfered over to MSU to get my bachelors degree in Communications/Public Relations. I'm taking night courses so it doesnt interfere with work. I've got mostly speech courses to take, but so far i'm loving going to school here. The people are so much friendlier, the facilities are so much nicer, the girls are so much better looking, and the teachers actually give a damn. I just started going here, but already i've made a bunch of new friends and i'm excited to learn more!
Myron Corp.
I got a new job doing sales at a personalized business gift manufacturing company. It pays $15 an hour plus 10% commission, and there are a LOT of perks. I get a gym membership for $1 a week, Medical/Dental, bonus', etc etc... this job seems to go really out of their way to take care of their employees and I for the first time in a long time really like my job. I am ready to work hard to hang on to it and get out of debt finally.. Then save up to move out. I work M-F from 8:30am - 5pm now.. so im tired all the time.
Crazy Car Adventure...
I was being nice and driving a friend home and i had to drive through the sticks to get there
while i was there someone in a stolen car sideswiped my car and tried to speed off. I chased them through the town sharp turns running red lights trying to get them to pull over, until they hit a street light.. streetlight broke fell over and the people ran from the car. Then these thug guys pulled up next to me and were like "yo, my boy was in that car. if i were u id take the plate numbers and just leave. You dont know what kinda trouble you're getting yourself into, you in a bad area". The cops were like "If u want them to pay u have to file a report and take them to court but i can tell u if this guy is stealing cars and fleeing the crime scene i HIGHLY doubt they are going to pay for your damages.. and thats IF we even catch him.." The girl I was driving home works for an auto body and she was like "you wouldnt be down here if it werent for me. im soooo sorry, dont worry about a thing i will fix this its on me. I know a guy and he will probably fix it for free and ive got this taken care of" but now my friend says her friend wont do it, and she wont even help me pay for it at all.. I hate Hudson County... Now i've got this big dent on the side of the car and it hurts my soul to look at it.
