stuffed myself full of kfc (mmmmm....chicken....) and now i'm watchin a movie. enjoying some lemonade....hee hee hee.....glad to be going to class tomorrow, even if i have to get up early in the morning. geez, what a day. at least we've got mtv back, and for once it's all videos all the time. then the videos got old, so we watched pop up brady bunch episodes (brady bunch + pop up video). how ironic that they're calling it the "un-real-a-thon"...they've been doing it all summer, and now it's actually kinda cool. i feel bad for tuning out so much and pretending that this all isn't real, but what am i supposed to do? watch endless replays and listen to the same questions with no answers all over again? hell no. i have to let this all sink in first. it's amazing to see all of the things that everyone has to say right now. everyone's running around quoting Nostradamus....scary shit. i've gotta look that guy up now, read more of it, make some more sense of this. geez, a week ago, the big news was that aaliyah had been laid to rest, a bus crashed into mccormick hall and i was 48 hours away from the michael jackson concert. that all seems like forever ago. someday i'll talk about the concert, but i can't really think about it now. it's kinda hard to think about the days when we were all happy and oblivious to the impending danger around us. it's like we've been reborn into this new age of fear and sadness and anger....we don't know what will happen tomorrow and tomorrow. we don't know if life will ever return to normal. and that is the scariest thing ever. knowing that it will be a long time before anything is ever normal. hell, what is normal? nobody knows anything anymore....well, before i get too depressed and i drag you all with me, i shall depart and go to bed. day 2 is finally over and i await tomorrow with....who knows? g'nite all.

More airport shenanigans...

I have a love/hate relationship with air travel, as most people do nowadays. It's bad enough that I got violated on my airfare because I had to fly on short notice (nearly twice as much as I would have paid if I bought my ticket an extra week in advance). But has anyone else experienced the same type of wretchedness that comes with flying today? In the 2 years after 9/11 that I had to travel by air, I was "randomly searched" by airport security on nearly half of my flights - the locations of such occurences were the following: -Kansas City -St. Louis (on the connecting flight from KCI to LaGuardia) -Ft. Lauderdale -London Honestly...the only one that made sense was London. And that was the most blatant example of racial profiling that I had been subjected to - only brown people were pulled aside before getting on that plane. After the searches died down (have not been subjected to one since London), I then had to deal with delays. The one (and only) time I flew out of Phi...

Down in Florida, safe...not so sound?

Not like I'm trying to freak anyone out or anything. I think I've found the one place on the planet that could actually be more bizarre than Jersey. Welcome to South Florida. Right now I'm just getting used to making left turns and u-turns almost anywhere the hell I want to. Additionally, I think it will take a while for me to get over being able to buy beer at the Super Target. However, I have yet to see a liquor store. Except for in the not-so-safe looking parts that I've driven through so far. They come up out of nowhere. You're just driving along...doo-de-doo-de-dooo...then all of a sudden you're there: liquor store, pawn shop, check cashing, storefront church, liquor store, chicken shack, pawn shop, repeat. And you're like, "Oh crap, I'm in the ghetto!" But before you have a chance to lock the doors, you're back in safe territory again. They have houses down here that look just like the ones on Cops. That's kinda scary. And in down...

Not too tired yet...

I've had to make a series of trips to Newark in the past week and a half. It's hard work. I'm slightly tired and cranky, but I'm perservering. The end result will be good and then I'll tell you all about it. In sports news: Oh, it's on tonight. Rutgers v. Tennessee. The Scarlet Knights served the Lady Vols back in January, and now it's on. (If you didn't see the "You Got Served" episode of South Park, th previous two sentences make no sense.) It shall be riveting Elite Eight tourney play for all. Random TV Show Idea: Take "Will and Grace," mix it with "Three's Company," and add a dash of mocha. I don't have a title for it, but since it might eventually be based on real life I'm sure I'll come up with something brilliant. It could make a great script for the WB. Or maybe even Fox. Apologies for the cryptic-ness. Giving information without giving information. Just think of it as an episode of "Desperate Ho...
