This morning my mom took off her splint to change the bandage and asked me to help. Holy CRAP! Her arm was so black and blue. She looked like she was either a member of Fight Club or some people who do special effects makeup had their way with her. Kinda made her look zombie-ish Check out these pics.



Later in the evening...

So, my sister came down today complaining about her stuffy nasal passages, she was finally willing to try out the Neti Pot. WHEEEEE! Of course I had to film it. She looks kinda funny doing it. Because as she jams it in her nostril, it pulls up on her upper lip pretty hard causing her to make a funny face.
Here you can see for yourself.

So....how was your Memorial Weekend? I for once actually did something instead of sit around the house and BBQ. I had some plans that were lame like grocery shopping and sitting on my ass watching the love handles grow.

2 friends of mine talked me into going to the Jersey Shore. I am glad they did. I needed to sit out in the sun for a while and get some color on this almost translucent body I have. I went on Sat getting some of my color. Good thing too, I need to get a base tan cause I'm going to the Mediterranean region for my vacation, and don't want to get all crispy.

So, I'm happy a bit. On Monday, I went to the movies and saw the new Indiana Jones film. Pretty damn good. Go see it, don't download it. It's worth the admission.

I really don't have much else to report so I think I'll just insert another random pic.

So, a few weeks back my sister and I found some random vending machine but didn't know what it dispenses. It was lacking information on what it was selling and for how much. Just had a coin slot. You take a guess as to what it was selling. Oh and the coin slot was vertically placed, that was odd.

Had too add this as well.
When I first saw this pic, all that came to mind was a skit from SNL when Eddie Murphy was playing an adult Buckwheat from the Little Rascals, and was doing a commercial for his new album.

The song that comes to mind was "Wookin puh nub" hahaha
All I remember from it was Eddie singing

Wookin puh nub in all da wrong places
Wookind puh nub

and here is the picture that i associate it too
As if my staying home wasn't enough. My mom went ahead and decided to give me something to do. And that is to take care of all her Medical paperwork and make her appointments and stuff cause she broke her wrist. Of all the low down sneaky ways to keep you occupied. hehehe. Poor mom, its unfortunate that she broke it, but at least it was her left hand and she's a righty. Worst part is that she will need surgery as far as we know to get it all repaired. As with almost all my posts, some pics.




Oooh, thought I'd add this tidbit as well. Last week my friend and I were in New Rochelle handling some band business and we drove past SHREK! Poor Guy, I guess the movies don't pay him enough to live in Beverly Hills.

I'm sure this is overkill and been played out already, but I want to finish this training post on The DOs & DON'Ts of Babycare

Lesson 2
Hello again.

Even though I'm not posting often, I do hope that some of my ramblings are entertaining. This new post I hope, will be that for you as well.

I've been having sinus problems and that + allergies been messing me up. A friend told me about this thing called the Neti Pot that you jam in your nose and using a mixture of salt and really warm water, you pour it in your nose and it helps flush out all this extra crap you got, some mucous and some of the allergens that get caught up there and stuff.

Believe it or not, i was freaking about it when my friend told me she uses it daily, but i figure why not give it a try and maybe it will help me with my issues.
So here is the video my sister took of me performing the act.



I'll tell you something, I wasn't sure what the resutlt was going to be. But I really kept and open mind about it. After using, I was clear for the rest of the night last night. I will use this quite a bit during my allergy season, and off season whenever I want full use of my nasal passages.

Besides who wouldn't want to use a product that on the side of the box advertises as a NASAL DOUCHE.

Well, at least I'm doing something while on unemployment. My sister's company had 4tix up for grabs to see a Mets game today. Mets vs Nationals. (mets lost 1-0 oh well)
My parents, myself and my friend Angie went to the game to kill a few hours. I haven't been to a baseball game in about 22years. Last game I saw was 1st game of the Mets World Series where again, they lost 1-0. The weather held out, and in the later innings we got quite a bit of sun. Great photo ops. Was really interested in going since this is the last year for Shea Stadium. New stadium is being built right next door. Kinda weird to look to ur left and see the top of the other stadium right there.
Next stop, Yankee Stadium. Never have been in my life and again, they are tearing it down cause another one is being built.
Here are some pics
Enjoy



Me at the game




Shea Stadium


Good ol' Crackerjacks
This is an email that I was typing to my sister pretty much in real time as I was traveling in the subway. English is cut off here and there cause I'm typing on a Blackberry Curve

Enjoy





So I ran out early on accident to the shrinky dink. I thought it was 11am but calendar was 11:30. Ok great now I'm early. Now I'm at bedford ave and no L is ruuning into manhattan. Now I already parked in WillyB, I have too get on L to the G to the R or W. And G runs like turds stuck in tar. V comes after every 2 Es. Here comes E#2. Now I wait for V to 34st then wait for R or W. How long will that take? On the bright side I helped out a cute young German couple trying to get to Ground Zero. A guy on the train told them to follow this crabby bitchy lady back to the G to the 7 train, but they didn't really get him off the bat. And crabass lady bolted from the train at Lorimer. They asked me for help and told them just to follow me. We spoke as much as we could. I liked them and want them as friends. Hehehehe.

They told me their plans and I tried to break down some good shopping to them as well. I missed the V train at ELY. Cause doors were closing as I just saw the train. So I waited with them for the E and sent my new Kraut friends on their way. I miss them already. Haha

So now I have an old Chinese lady staring at my crotch and smiling, I guess cause I'm a pair of jeans with hole right there. Haha. She keeps glancing over. Little freak. Bet she still like to wear little school girl outfits and suck on lolly pops at home for her man. Lol. I just laughed out loud literally. Hahahaha. Now she's sitting what looks like to be a gangsta pose. I swear tgo God.

Damn, she just got off the train. I'm still not at my transfer for the R. Doh. Don't even think I should go now and see if I can resched and not waste money on a short appt.


Update, I'm at 34st. Changing trains now. Damn, I'm getting a thumb cramp from this blackberry. Oooh cops with machine guns at 34st and a K-9 unit. Cute doggy


Update Update! At 34st I check fone and got VM. This is getting hairy. Anthony played hooky from work and wants to pickup he speaker cabinet from that that was redoing the tolex on it. Somewhere over the Whitestone Bridge.
Sooooo, since my appt went to shit, I will go to her office and resched, go home, go to Anthony's take a ride and get his cabinet.

Update 3. Spoke to shrinky dink, for 10 min, found out L trains OK now. Going home now, getting GPS, going to Ant's then get the cab. What a fiasco this has been. I learned that cute girls go to see shrinky dink too.
I'll attach a subway pic haha
Hope u appreciate my live coverage, painstakingly typed on a BB


I miss my Krauts.........

So I was going to start posting up some pics of some subway life that I've been taking with my new Blackberry Curve. The pictures aren't all the best qual from it, but it will do. Then something awesome happened, I got LAID OFF! WHEEEEEE!

Basically it happened on the 25th of April. I had a feeling something was going to happen, cause the company was in LAYOFF mode and 2 people from my office were cut the day before.

So anyways, I've been happy for over a week now. A lot of stress has fallen off my shoulders and I'm happier than I have been in 4 years. I still have to go in and out of the city at least once or twice a week so my plans for posting subway life pics will be saved.

Here is pics #1 and #2



I now will be updating a bit more often to talk about home life and other stuffs.
