Greetings from

Gloucester Street. Moving was a success!


A success it was-for the most part that is. The box spring I bought last year refused to fit up our stairs- in fact it even fought back against the wall and made a lovely hole. We'll get that fixed. Currently I have a mattress on an unstable bed frame. Lots of boxes with my belongings, my dresser and this precious lamp I bought: Hopefully it will be presentable for guests sometime soon.

Currently I'm unemployed, but I'm trying to get that fixed. Summer activities are alive and happening. Tennis, running, cruising Newbury Street (that counts!), and being way too relaxed. Cliff jumping needs to happen very soon.

And now I must add that over the course of the past three hours my roommate Keara and I have moved her Full Size IKEA bed into my room, moved her boyfriends queen sized bed into her room and set them both up. One might think, "How hard could it be?" IKEA bed's are not so friendly once being disassembled and assembled on multiple moves- especially when you don't use your brain and try to assemble it upside down. We figured it out eventually. GREAT SUCCESS!

I was hoping that moving to this spot would bring me into a more social environment. This proved to be true when I set out on my journey to Shaws for food and a coinstar adventure. Moving makes you find lots of change, I made a makeshift piggy-bank out of two RX CD stack covers. So with a jingle in my step and a weight on my shoulder I strolled. And I walked about 3 sidewalk squares till I sighted Charles Henry and Hudon. Most of the time I would think seeing a familiar face on the street was a mirage or a look-a-like, but I know Chucke and he is a man of habitual strolls through the city. We went to El Pelon and discussed healthy and unhealthy eating, so hey why not? HMM. Today I have consumed 3 SBUX beverages, one bagel, one chicken quesadilla, and a bowl of Special K cereal. Which side are you on?



So let's just be happy that I have a bed to sleep in at night, Nike Running Club meets tomorrow (A first visit for me),My fantasy baseball team still dominates, My parents new favorite slogan is "GET A JOB!" LOL, and Brendan shaved. AND my winnings from coinstar came out to be $26 and some extra change.



Welcome to summer vacation BLOG. Where nothing is sincere. and Gil Sayfan has legit bands.
$YKE.

The weather today was beautiful. The Streets were crowded. Sun dresses, sandals, and los gafas de sol were making their yearly debut.

Once school is over more text will be present in posts, for now I'm taking the easy way out. Something is better than nothing.

I decided if I had to finish a paper I might as well do it outside.

"Taking off, CYA!"




Under Construction.

The Roof is Locked.

But someone broke the window.

So I went to NYC this weekend with a couple of friends, met up with more. Saw some people I haven't seen in a while.

7:30 AM on very little sleep, I climbed a narrow metal ladder with wedged brown beat up booties seesawing upon every bar. But I made it up okay. There is nothing better than a Sunday Morning coming down from intoxication and seeing a skyline like this:


New York confuses me and in result, intrigues me. I'll go again.



Some girl insisted I take this photo.

I'm glad I obeyed her request.

Then some guys had a photo shoot. Later they would run to the liquor store at 8:30 AM to keep the buzz going.


School is coming to an end and I can't really say I'll be missing it. The red sox won 2 out of the 3 games against NY. I'm moving in 2 and a half weeks. Things are about to get real good.

Must Be a Musician...Probably in a Band

WELL the weather today was rather miserable. Nothing out of the ordinary for March in New England. After getting some lunch with my dad and walking with him through the financial district I made my way back home to The North End. Puddles were infesting the streets, Chris Connelly would have been in debate about which one to dive into. This abundance of H2O did not bother me until something that I have only seen in cartoons and other comedic films happened...to myself. I was speed walking home walkin' to the beat of "Jazz is Like the new coke" by The Erg's (FACT) which meant I had a brisk skip in my step until a car made a sharp turn into an urban tide pool. Oh sure fine, but the vehicle's tires sparked a minor tsunami that collided with my clothes and hair. Denial of this occurring set in for a second until some old man walking by me chuckled. It was then I realized I was sincerely clowned by some mysterious driver.


Yesterday I had a flashback to these dawgs:







William Wegman, what a guy, what a catch.

SOX tomorrow night @ Oakland. Matsuzaka vrs. Blanton on the mound, same match up as last Tuesday when the teams played each other in Tokyo. Hopefully Matsuzaka finds his rhythm earlier in this game, he cut it a little close last week. Despite the fact I really really really do not like Manny's attitude on the field and his lackadaisical style I do have high hopes for him getting it done this season. If Pedroia's half as good as he was last year and Ortiz stays consistent, things should be out of control (in a good way) offensively. We'll see, I could be wrong.

& Jack

Not much has been happening. I went home a few days last week for spring break. Quality time with some dawgs and quality time with B Cliff. You know this.


The boy's are back in town (or will be April 9th). But Baseball season has begun and now I'll have a reason to pay my comcast. I'll finally be watching something besides Law & Order and MTV reality shows. Sup Rem Dawg.

Tickets for this season are clearly a challenge to get, my advice is to wait till the season actually begins and a little bit of hype diminishes. Craigslisters are greedy and will put most tickets (unless they are selfless idiots and rock the face value fee) up a few hundred over what they got them for. Ace Tickets is pretty much doing the same thing. When bleacher seats are going for over 50 you know it's gotten out of control. The cheapest ticket prices I've seen are on stubhub.com. As well as having the lowest price it's by far the easiest way to search for seats in whatever price range you're looking for. Of course I'm eager to know that I'll be attending one of the games early in the season just because. Chances are good that I'll be putting a nice dent in my wallet sometime this week in exchange for a seat most likely behind a pole and it certainly won't belong to Mr. Pesky. Thanks Mom.



I need to get here ^^^^ by the end of this year. J4L.

I'm 22 now, but I won't be for long.

I've got mixed up memories and I've got favorite places:











People should attend this:


Spring Break Oh Eight begins for me tomorrow at 1. This "break" will consist of lots of tutoring, observations, babysitting, research on intellectual disabilities, NOT seeing The Dropkick Murphys, Raging Saint Patrick's Day, dance parties, bike crew in NYC, and friends I haven't seen in a while. Possibly new ink if I get an appointment. We shall see, getting tattooed without JC just isn't right, perhaps I'll wait for her return to MA.
