Pehce out, 2010

2010. At points it seemed like it would never end and now that it's over I can't believe it already is! I definitely can't say that 2010 has been one of my favorite years. When this year began, I still lived at home and commuted over an hour to class three or four times a week. There was a whole mess of snow and a whole lot of driving. I nearly burnt myself completely out this year! My parents moved to California and Andrew moved into the house. I gained friendships and lost friendships and lost friendships and got them back. I went on one date this year that lead to nothing but headaches and confusion. But good things happened too! I went to a lot of weddings and I received Best of Quarter for the first (and possibly only) time. Road tripped to Florida with Jamie again. Recorded a demo that's still yet to be finished. Went to some great shows like Sia, Taylor Hawkins, Good Charlotte, Marina and the Diamonds, Tegan & Sara, Lady Gaga, Jimmy Eat World, and the amazing, incredible Sir Paul McCartney. Saw Back to the Future and Princess Bride in the theater. I worked out what seemed to be an impossible hurdle and sorted out my student loans in order to get my own apartment with my little Mo. We went to a dog park and flew in a plane! We spent Christmas in California and got the most awesome blanket in the lands! So, it wasn't the worst year of my life, but it definitely wasn't the best. It was a year pretty much completely dedicated to AiPH. The low point was definitely when my mother moved 3000 miles away, but I'm lucky to have great friends and the best dog ever and I'm going to somehow make it through 2011 as well. I expect it will be just that much harder without being able to escape to Millville and hang out with my mom. Huge bummer. But if I can live through that, I think it'll make me just that much stronger. But my farewell to 2010 was good! Had a yummy dinner at Uno before going to Zane street for some drinks and Dick Clark watchin. I accidentally became a smoker. Go figure. My New Years Resolution? Quit smoking! As long as I stay away from that electronic cigarette, I think I can do it!!!!

One Step Closer to Heaven, 2011!

Gotta get BACK IN TIME!

Went back in time to see "Back to the Future" then we came back to the future.
Just another day in Joisey.

Ghost dog and turkey sandwiches

Didn't do a whole helluva lot today. So, to make the time pass, I turned Gizmo into a ghost. Are you impressed? You should be. I did this without killing him. Can you deal with that?!

Later on, Jamie had a mad craving for some Panera Bread Turkey Sandwiches. Unfortunately, they got rid of those for a limited time basis. That basis being one night. Jamie has no luck. But after a lot of deep thought, I got an apple as my side dish and it was an excellent choice. One of the best apples I've had this season. The incredible Mediterranean Sandwich wasn't bad either. No turkey necessary! Some people just make better decisions. NO NAMES

Hi October

B-more Happy!

Adventure day! Jamie and I went down to Baltimore to visit the Walters Art Museum. When I left Lindenwold it was sunny and the further south I went the crappier the weather got. But weather isn't an issue when you're visiting a sweet art museum so it did not deter as at all! It's a pretty sweet museum not only because it's got a ton of amazing art, but there's free admission! Can't beat that! After exploring every inch of that museum, we went to the Baltimore Hard Rock to eat some dinner. We had never patronized that Hard Rock so we were treated to lots of cool rock and roll memorabilia. We were also treated to some entertainment thanks to a school field trip. Bring a field trip to your local Hard Rock and an insta-party will break out. It was wild. and loud. Real loud.
Then we took a walk around the Harbor. It was nice. It's a nice little area. Lots of jobbers. Lots of deaf homeless people. But also a lot of nice scenery. It was nice of the weather to clear up for that part of our trip. I guess I shouldn't say the weather never did nothing for me. Hmm. After it got dark, we departed Baltimore, land of the Ravens and Coca-Cola. Jamie tried to kill us, but tir na nog!

Fight night at Chili's

Spent most of the day hanging around waiting for Martone to arrive at my house. Despite a near death experience, he arrived unscathed. I did a little bit more modeling and made a little bit more money and then he departed. Shortly after, I went to Deptford to meet up with Jamie at the Chili's. What would have been a very relaxing dinner el fresco turned into a rather annoying evening. You need a license to drive, you need a permit to build, but anybody can be a parent. Any asshole can be a parent. And these people who had these three boys at Chili's did not deserve to have children. They were running and yelling all over the place. And how did it end? With violence! The littlest of the three boys attacked and wailed on the oldest and biggest of the three and the photo above is the aftermath of the situation. That's some solid parenting right there! God Bless, America!

Correct me if I'm wrong

I was bad and I didn't take any photos on a very busy day. Spent the afternoon doing a little modeling. Yeah, I'm a professional model now. If you get paid to model, that makes you a professional, right? I am at least a working model. I know, it's shocking. A five foot tall model. Afterward, I met up with Jamie and our old pal, Amy. Last time we saw her was at her New Year's Eve party so it had been quite some time. Nevertheless, we got on famously. Apparently I live about 10 minutes away from her. Maybe I'll see her more often then!

And, holy cow, Gizmo chewed up a rawhide bone! It's like a miracle! Like a real dog!

Weehoobah!

First day of my break between quarters and I went to town cleaning up this apartment. It wasn't that dirty, but there was some scrubbing, vacuuming, and dusting that I wanted to get done and it felt good to have time to do so! The first day of break never feels like break cause it's just a normal day off, but there is that lull of having no homework to complete and not quite knowing what to do with myself. I don't know if other people go through that, but I do. Probably because I plan my weekends according to how much homework I have. When I don't have any, I don't know what to do with myself! Later I went to Uno with Jamie and had a really delicious pizza. Jamie had some weird side dish. I'm still not sure what it is. It looks weird. Like there's bugs on her plate or something. I don't know. I hope it was good, jo.

The Wizard of Gaga

Went to see Lady Gaga at the Wachovia Center (Shove it, Wells Fargo). It should not come as a surprise to anyone that I thought the show was awesome; just as she was the other two times I've seen her. She puts on a good show. An odd show, but a good one. She proudly sings live, proudly hates money, and proudly bares her butt cheeks throughout the show. As do her fans. They sing loud and proud, must hate money considering how much they spend on tickets, memorabilia, and food & drink, and definitely bare their butt cheeks all over the place. There's a fine line between dressing like Lady Gaga and dressing like a straight up hooker. There was a lot of Gagas and even more hookers. And a good majority of those hookers were probably underage. I used to think that the outfits you see at Britney Spears shows were interesting. They do not compare in the least to the outfits you see at a Lady Gaga show. It's like Halloween. I have to wonder what some of these people dress like in their everyday life. I mean, I pretty much dressed up for the show as I would for any other show. I'd love to see what these people do for a living.

To the left you can check out the lovely little hooker Gagas. That would be the photo with the girls, not the photo with the fame monster eating Gaga. This was taken moments before the cleaning crew thanked us for coming, informed us that the show was over, and told us that we could come back tomorrow and see Gaga. He of course was being a jerk. And I wanted the Fame Monster to eat him. We weren't in the way of their cleaning or anything. We were just waiting out the crowds. And lots of other people were doing the same! That dude pooped on my party! Alright. I'm over it. Thanks for being awesome, Gaga. You're younger than me and way more awesome. I should hate you, but instead, I love you. Don't let me down like so many others!


ps. the show was actually on Tuesday but since I don't like having two posts in one day and I didn't do anything cool on Wednesday it's going to go here. Deal with it. It's my blog. I can Superman time if I want to.
pps. thanks so much for the ticket, fuckface!!

I'm disappointed in you, GCFam

I could think of no better way to spend Patriot Day than to go to the Cherry Hill and watch Benji & Joel from Good Charlotte play a little acoustic set for all the classy customers of Macy's. That's a lie. I was on the fence about attending this for days prior to it. The more I heard about it, the less I wanted to go. I know what "GCFam" would say, but at what age are you too old to go and wait around in a crowd of teenagers to see a band play in the mall? I don't exactly know the answer to that, but I definitely felt a tad silly. Especially since we got there at 4pm the day before and were the only ones there! What gives, GCFam?! Oh wait. That wasn't us. But it was someone. Two people I'm sure would tell me you're never too old to rep GC. Ageism aside, my instincts about it not being over flowing with people was right on. We took our time getting there and it wasn't a problem at all. If you spent $50, you got to meet the band. That's $25 per twin. Despite all the vests I desperately wanted, I didn't spend a dime on those mofos and thus I did not meet them. I think it's alright. I already have. And I will have to note that it was not worth $50 any of those times. If given the choice between $50 and saying hi to them now, I'd take the $50. I mean, if I'm going to pay $50 to meet someone, I want them to wash my car, make me lunch and give me oral pleasure. IS THAT SO WRONG?! Yeah, it's a little wrong. And illegal. Whatever. Your mom is illegal.

P.S. God bless America. God hug HRS. If you can ask God to bless things you can ask God to hug them. Thanks a bunch, God.

I know exactly what I want

Met up with my good buddy, John, to check out Marina & the Diamonds at the World Live Cafe. Not only did I get to see a band I've never seen before, but I got to ride a train I'd never ridden before either. My ability to get around the city without a car has expanded a lot this month! Trains aside, the show was pretty good. The opener, I forget their name, got a thumbs up from us both. I figure, as openers go, if they don't suck, they're good. So, they were good. Marina was no slouch herself. I was a little distracted by this guy that kept trying to talk to me, but I enjoyed the show nonetheless. It was short, though. I think maybe she should beef up her show with some covers since she doesn't have a lot of material. Or at least play some other material so it doesn't feel like it's over in a blink. That's just my meager opinion, though. Check her out. She's an interesting new artist making the rounds..

Just another Saturday

In case you wondered, as I did, if Fuddrucker's sold turkey burgers, they do. And they are delish.

If you ever got the sudden worry that Fandango could lie to you, as I wondered, about where a movie is playing and when, they do. They are liars.

If you ever wondered if, as I did, The Other Guys was any good, it was. But I did think it would be better than it was. I was mildly disappointed, but I do not live in regret! After all, I learned a lot about tuna and sharks.

I didn't kill anybody with any candlesticks in any halls, but I did this amazing work of art.

Don't act like you're impressed. Seriously.
