I spent HOW much on food?
Tuesday, July 6, 2004 10:13 a.m.

...like90 bucks... man, so I was all hungover and tired and itchy... but Jen Tse called and wanted to have lunch and hang out before we met her friends for dinner....

So, I get my crap together and head out to the city all groggy...I think it was mostly the allergy meds...but anyways... we went to Pearl Oyster Bar and had lobster rolls...oh man...they were good...but expensive... Christina is sooo cute. she's spunky little gal...talked to the Tse sisters and stayed in to watch the torrential down pour.

Then, we walked around got some Japanese snacks and just hung out for a bit...

Went to Justin's new place with Jen and Christina went to her place to nap. Justin and Tim were building Ikea furniture and we all got changed...met up with Lana and then we all went to Matsurai.

Matsurai is NICE..as in Sex and the City nice... gorgeous huge lanterns in like an old warehouse space...meat-packing district...Christina works there so they treated us pretty well...had some fancy pants Japanese food..saw Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon...had soem unfiltered sake...and had a good time..

Said goodbyes... Christina works near me so we will have lunch soon...and I promised to get her some groceries...heh.

Ok...so the big news for last... I know Jen from my China trip in 2000...which I went on with Roseann...now Roseann was supposed to hang with us...but she couldn't...because she GOT ENGAGED...yes, Roseann and Stan are getting married...lots of mixed emotions, but you have to be happy for her, I guess. hahah.

And...Cindy should be in London right now...sigh...

And called Laura on her birthday...where is she?

Pretty much it... still waiting to hear if I should give my notice...hmmm...soon. I'm assuming it's ok... verbal agreement...but not written ? Still haven't received paper documents....ah...we'll see.

Tuesday! Short week ! WOOT.

Kaori's wedding...
Monday, July 5, 2004 11:28 a.m.

Sunday: spent most of the day cleaning up and getting ready for Kaori's wedding... at the Yale Club.

Went to the city and got there a little early. Gary and Lisa came on time and we headed to the ceremony with our seltzers...but not yarmulkes. This was my first Jewish wedding...and it was actually pretty nice. Jena dn Mike came a little late and sat with us...but Diana and Tony were really late and stood by the doorway. Circles were made, passages were sung, glass was broken...and Kaori and Andy were married.

We headed up to the rooftop and had some hoursdevoures and drinks...and Gilman was there! He looks so different...haven't seen him in YEARS...anyhoo...a little chit chat and we headed into dinner.

Dinner was pretty good...lamb...very unique...at least to me. Lots of food and LOTS of drinks (I'm a little hungover right now actually) and a little dancing... Danced with Jen and just acted goofy...same with Diana...a lot fo fun actually.

Talked to Mike about music and stuff...we actually have the same taste in a lot of things...pretty cool.

The thought occurred to me that Diana and Kaori have both told me that they liked me at one point...but I was too star struck over Jen to notice.. in the end... I'm the one that's left alone...everyone has moved on... engaged or already married. Out of all my closest high school friends (this group at leasr)...I'm the only one left. Carmen is even engaged... so really...just me.

Hence, Andy came over to me and said "We aren't having an official tossing...but Kaori wanted you to have this." So ...I add another garter to my collection. Man, and I beleive I'm getting Jen's so...third time's the charm...next month. HEH.

Danced with Kaori... she could follow my lead... and it was glorious...she was a beautiful bride...truly. I wish her and Andy all the ebst...her father was um..very proud of her... longest speech I heard...but I'm envious. I hope someone has all those words to say about me one day.

In any case, it got me thinking and also not thinking...when it's time...I'll know...when I meet her...I'll know...and I guess you will too! I've made some awful mistakes and have been hurt by the best. I feel like the crazy years are just about over... I'm ready for reality...where people are civil and fall in love without all the drama. Things will just work, just fit.

So, here's to hope, here's to the future, here's to me and you. Cheers.

Long weekend...
Sunday, July 4, 2004 12:30 a.m.

Ok...lots going on ...so I thought I'd just get things down as I'm processing all the crap that's going on in my head...

Friday: Got to work and just plowed through and helped Emily with some stuff she couldn't finish...when I leave...I think it will be good for her career...she'll get lots more work...and hopefully she is up to it. I'm not really sure about the quality of her editing...but I hope she can manage... the crappy thing is...I feel like I was always there to help her out...and yeah, she was there for me sometimes...but basically, I took her under my wing a lot.

Anyhooo...after work...went to Cindy's...it was boiling hot and we walked around a little and went to have lunch at this pretty good sushi place on 6th...ONY... chatted a bit...mostly about relationships and change.. then we went to 5th and walked around...shopping and stuff... went to say hi to Eunice and then more shopping. Hung out at Cindy's place for a bit and watched Food Network...and said... goodbye. I really do love her...lots. She's always been very sweet to me...and practical and not crazy...can't really remember any major drama...she's one of the rare ones that keeps an even keel...and she keeps me level-headed and on my best behaviour when I am around her...basically, she keeps me on my toes...I love her and respect her. And I'll miss her.

Home...XBOX and anime...basically that was it. Oh wait...what am I saying...some major changes to my apartment...I moved lots of stuff around...AGAIN...adn this time I think I really like it...my room is CD/Anime haven right now...it's neat..but is anyone gonna like it but me ? NAH...but who cares..

Saturday: Got up early...ugh...didn't sleep very well...anyways...went to Forest Hills and bought some cheap-o Xbox games... Jet Grind Radio whatchacallit turned out to be pretty fun...and Tetris for XBOX is kinda cool but creepy...heh.

Saw Spidey(one of THE best comic films I've seen... anyone catch the EVIL DEAD POV shots and the awesome BRUCE CAMPBELL cameo!?!??) with Serena "Mistress of the Dark" and got some italian ice and wandered around...

I can't figure Serena out...maybe that's really it...she seems grouchy and scowly a lot of the time...but then the rest of the time..she is just...adorable. It's these two major extremes...and she's another practical person...but stubborn and knows what she likes and doesn't like... hard nut to crack...

Home...more cleaning up...man...I'm tired...and played XBOX...watched more South Park...and got something ...in the mail...

MY LINDSAY LOHAN AUTOGRAPH !!!!! It says "TO ABE, Stay Cool! XO You ROCK! LIndsay *squiggle mark* XOXO" man..she wants to HUG AND KISS me a lot...hahaha...I wonder if it's even real...ahhh ...I'll take it at face value...and ...it's framed...wooo...LINDSAY !!!

FUnny how things come full circle...I was wondering why I was so desperate for change and trying to keep busy with cleaning up and buying all this crap... well..it's been two years...the beginning of the end...the heartbreak era...two years...this summer. I can't believe it. It seems so long ago...and yet...still right there if I pause and think. I'm still not 100 percent yet...but I feel like I can function and yeah, I'm doing productive stuff...but really...is it better to not have loved at all? Maybe... but then wouldn't be working on music, meeting all these new people, writing... but would I trade all of this stuff to have her back in my arms... waking up next to her... yes...I said, yes.

For the girl that she was...not the one that she eventually became (or revealed herself to be) ...the one that I had on the phone all night, the one that was creative, gorgeous, funny, and wanted to be with me. HER, I would have traded all of the good of the past two years for the girl I fell in love with.

I've lived a really full life and I've accomplished alot...the one thing that I don't have...that I realyl feel is in God's hands...is the woman that will love me for who I am...and for who I will be. I want to take care of her...and be taken care of. I want her in my life and soon.

So...July 4th...and I'll be at Kaori's wedding...uncomfortable... hot...in a suit and not at a bbq... surrounded by couples or cynical singles...whatever it's going to be...tomorrow will be odd.

And yes...my heart is still a little broken...but I'm working on it.

So if you think you have someone that will love me...and I can love in return... quit with the stalling! I'm just about ready here. Bring it on.

Happy 4th. God bless America. God bless...you.

Xbox is Xcellent !
Friday, July 2, 2004 09:54 a.m.

Pretty decent day...finished up my half of the art writing...so I'm helping Emily with hers now...

Lunch with Eunice at the new pizza place...Mozarelli's... really good actually... I got Sprite on my pizza though...lemon-lime does not go well with margherita.

After work...I was compelled...compelled (!) to finally treat myself...to an Xbox! They were giving away a free game (Midtown Madness3) with it...so I had to... (since I bought that Buffy game already) and I picked up Medal of Honor, some demo disc, a free baseball demo, and a Shrek controller...(it was cheap) ...total...200 bucks...and hours of fun with the family..

Home... Chris and Fred brought back Vietnamese for me...and we played... Medal of Honor was fun...but hard! Really intense...gets your heart pumping...nothing beats killing some Nazis...except killing zombies...now zombie Nazis...that should be in a game.

Had a weird dream this morning after I hit the snooze button...in some alternate Boston-like town...I was at Wellesley or some place...trying to get back to Tufts...weird trains...I was running around (kinda like a video game...hmmm) and trying to get on the right track...when some pirates or hooligans or zombie pirate hooligans... kidnapped me and forced me to dig to hide their gold. Anyhooo...weird silty mud... I dig...and snakes...and I turn to the captain and said "Um...are those poisonous?" ..."Yeah, but they don;t bite...see" ...and they bit me... REPEATEDLY....

And then the alarm goes off...and I wake up and off to work...sigh. I'm a nutjob.

Anyhooo...I'm out at 1...gonna go help Cindy finish packing and ... other stuff... and here comes the busy arse weekend...wooo !

TGIF! What a week...Thank You, Lord !

still tired...lots going on...
Thursday, July 1, 2004 09:32 a.m.

Still busy with loads of stuff...work is the same here...not feeling particularly motivated since I know I won't be here much longer. In any case...I've got stuff to do still.

Had lunch with Sunjoo yesterday! She was temping in SoHo so I went down to meet her ...we went to Fanelli's for really good burgers that took forever to get to us. Had a good chat and a couple of laughs...she's huggable.

More work and realized...I really need to start clearing out my stuff... as in my computer files and personal effects...wow...that's gotta be weird.

Home... watched South park with Chris and just needed to unwind... talked to Laura again last night...don't want to overanalyze anything...but is this going to turn out to be more than a friendship? I don't know...I'd rather not think about it... what happens...happens.

Thursday...that's it ?!?!?

major changes... all for the better.
Wednesday, June 30, 2004 09:36 a.m.

Wow... ok.. let's cut to the chase... some major changes going on this week...some expected some unexpected.

1. I have a new job. Triumph Learning offered me a postion yesterday...and I took it. It sounds like a win-win situation. I'll be an official "Editor" with my own books. I'll have summer hours (half day Fridays until Labor Day) and I'll be earning about 8K more with the bonus... bonus in publishing?!?!? Unheard of! All in all..it's the major change I've been waiting for. I hope it's for the better...but it sure sounds like it...the worse case scenario--I get into work ...and a certain someone is working there...but what are the chances of that...anything else... I'll leanr to manage.

2. Eunice got offered a job at Conde Nast...yesterday also ! We are soooo twins!

3. Cindy... her last day of work yesterday...I went to her office to help her take some stuff home. Then we ran a whole bunch of errands and had a few drinks at the Greenwich Brewery. We had a nice long talk about stuff... and I realized how much I really am going to miss her. We all went to Basta Pasta and met up with Cathy, Abby, Will, Chris, Doris, Eunice, Cindy K, Belle, May and 2 people I forgot their names...and Priscilla Cham from Stuy was at table next to us...(dang she got hot.) we had loads of food and wine...and I am hung over right now. HA.

I'll have to post more about Cindy's departure later..still processing all of this.

So...other big events...Kaori's wedding on the 4th (seriously, what a day to do it) ...and Jen Tse is coming for the weekend...

I still have a load of work to do... so I better do it.

Wednesday ! WOOOOT! Things are looking bright...let's keep it that way.

Bostonian weekend...
Tuesday, June 29, 2004 09:45 a.m.

Oh man... I'm beat...but all in all it was fun... here's the scoop:

So... Saturday...we ended up leaving bright and early with Kelvin and Nina... and it was a good trip down...we had some heated debates about church stuff... Yes, I agree...I probably should pick one place and stick to it...but my mianthropic ways always get the best of me...and hypocrisy rubs me the wrong way and I go running. I maybe cynical in some aspects...but deep down I am an idealist...and when that side of me gets disillusioned...I get even more cynical... humans are SO FLAWED...and I need to realize that and love that...evne if it means getting hurt in the process.

Don't get me wrong...I love the church...but I don't necessarily like "church people"... does that make any sense ?

Anyways...got into Boston...went to Harvard Square and bought a bunch of anime crap...oh man... and then met up with Roseann, Ellen, Henry, Stanley, and Arnold Ng... and then wandered around...dealt with the thunderstorms...and went to Niketown...

I was outside having astog and this drunk woman apparently was trying to chat me up... we talked and she was ...kinda sad...she said she was crying before...she was a little older but pretty... I told her to take care of herself and went off with the crew to Copley.

Legal Sea Foods...Ann and Andy joined us and it was NASTY...we just ATE. Then onto Newbury street and Ben and Jerry's...I just watched.

HOME..SLEEP.

Sunday:...got up late and went to church... it's completely different now...but I got to catch up with some old friends...briefly... Andy and Ann are moving to SF..wow... RIcky and Moh are married... bunch of others...Jamie lost a ton of weight...Lester is same... met Liz Lee...she's an MFA student at Emerson...wow...neat...talked a bit... Charlotte is really nervouscute...and etc..

Went to eat with Eric and Ji Bae...and then changed and went to see Dashboard, Get Up Kids, and THRICE... the show was awesome...but the sound mix was crud... THRICE were outstanding... and GUK did a great version of "on a wire" and carabba joined them onstage... and of course... Mr. Ender himself... pretty good set... the weepers he put all together...

"Briilliant Dance" and "Screaming Infidelities" ...they remind me of my "annum horriblum" ... or whatever...how many EMO kids out there wept to that album over some silly break up? *abe raises hand.

Home and discovered that Ji was macking on one of my best friends...OH MAN...must get dirt on this later...

Anyhoo...home...late night Mc D's with Eric and I called...LAURA...what the heck am I thinking...

Monday: Got on the Fung Wah bus at 11 and was home by 5. BEAT...just tired...email saying "positive news soon"... and Opher being home...that's about it... I'm burnt out...

Updated my myspace.com site with latest song: "in your words"...I think it's one of my best...check it out.

Having dinner with Cindy and her friends tonight... I need a hug...more thoughts later.

TUESDAY! booyakashaaa !

before we leave...
Saturday, June 26, 2004 01:02 a.m.

Yup...we are still in NY...the rain and people not being ready to go has stalled us until tomorrow morning...

Had a long hard day at work...I was just feeling extremely down for no particular reason at all...just for the sake of feeling crappy... not sure why...

Had lunch with Doris... Teriyaki Boy... andI dunno...still just can't get out of this crappy mood.

My supervisor is taking the whole week off... so I've got a million things to do next week...before the long weekend and all... arrgh... I really hope that my tenure at this company is drawing to a close...I desperately need a change.

I'm still waiting for something good to happen... one of my coworkers want to fix me up with a friend of a friend...some cartoonist from Florida...hmmm....and Romana might have a friend moving into NY...who knows at this point. I sure don't meet anyone new these days...so ... anything is possible.

After work...just came home and did a bunch of laundry... packed up and got ready to go home... worked on some mixdowns... almost there with the latest two songs...still need to fix a few things...

Went home to have dinner with the folks ...and the best surprise...Justin, Philip, Patricia, and Debbie were all there...all my babies...without Alex...I haven't seen them in so long...and they've all grown so big... it's no secret that I am very paternal...heck...maternal... I can't wait to have kids of my own... well..after a few years with my future wife doing lots of "you know what" first...sigh..

Anyhooo...back here...and made another demo cd...and listened to it on my discman...MY GOODNESS...I was feeling so unsure of my music...thinking that it was sounding subpar...but on the discman...it sounds amazing !!! Almost pro-quality...I seriously think...it's all a matter of EQing it right...my computer sucks...and my crappy stereo is ass...so maybe my 50 dollar discman is EQ'ed better and everything sounds better...or I'm just getting better... who knows..>I'm happy.

Sadness is...Cindy leaving for London...Happiness is...Deanna moving back to NYC from Cali ! WOOO !!! My Italian punkass former student...she's coming back!

Anyways..Eric and Shelb are playing videogames...and I should get some sleep before we head to Beantown...

Pray that I get to see all the people I want to see...and avoid all those I could care less to see.

Have a good weekend, my loves. I'll be back on Monday. Try not to miss me too much.

sigh...still busy.
Friday, June 25, 2004 09:50 a.m.

Man...I've had a stressful week or so...I'm just beat.

Work was hectic and had lots of holes to patch up and get done ... sigh... after work...got a bunch of stuff ready and went to meet Justin and Eric...

Justin had a "supposed" audition...but when we got there it was like some cheezy place... they were playing "FAME" in the background...and had loads of people lined up...when I told them he was under contract... they said they couldn't use him... Eric went off to meet his friends for dinner...

Anyways...we left...and went home... ran into Kenny Moy on the train...and then got Justin home so he could go back to his friend's graduation party...

Got home...recorded drums, redid vocals, and bass for "tearing"...I think it's done...I can't work on this song anymore...gonna mix it down next week...or maybe tonight if I can before I head to Boston... sucky thing is...gonna miss Cindy's going away party.

Anyhoo...watched some tv...NBA draft...and man...trade talks...can't wait to see the big trades this year...next season is going to be amazing...

If you get a chance...check out the FLASH player for my MP3s that Andy designed for my website...just need to meet with him soon and see what we can get going... neat!

Here it is:
http://www.andyrhee.com/mplayer/player.html

Whew...it's been a long week... Boston...mixed emotions...but here I come !

momentous things ...

Ok...so lots of stuff happened yesterday... work was blah, blah, blah... stayed until 4:00 and just got stuff done..

After work...went over to the "place" for the "you know what"... I ended up talking to the CEO (his best friend went to Stuy and MIT and his sis went to Tufts...hmmm) and he really sold me on the vision of the company and how the day to day process would go... and then talked to another senior ed... and more of the same...talked to the consultant... long talk...lots of "situational" questions...and then 2 tests... a 12 min. intelligence test that made me feel pretty dumb... and 2 editing tests that made me feel dumber...I was just so tired by then...I was there from 4:30 until 7:00 without a real break...and I was just knackered.

Afterwards...went to Doris' and helped her lug back some groceries from Gristedes...and chatted a bit befor eheadign home...

Shelb and Eric played cards and video games...they can be jerks sometimes...hahah...and then I just passed out... BEAT.

Got up this morning to help folks with thrwoing out some major crap... and then we got dressed and went to Justin's graduation...

My baby is growing up! Out of middle school now and going to HIGH school wow...we are all getting old, huh ?

Funny thing was... Justin has a "Mohammed Ali" and a "John D'Baptist" in his graduating class...I was cracking up...what kind of cruel parents do that ?!?!? hahah whatever "Abraham" ...duh. Home...changed ..more random stuff to do..and then a call from the headhunter to tell me that they want my references...which means...they are most likely going to make me an offer...as long as it isn't a pay cut...I'm going to take it. Hopefully, things will fall through... I don't think my refs should be a problem, right ?

Off to Harvest Buffet to stuff our faces...oh man... it was too much... food coma!!

Tuesday, June 22, 2004 09:32 a.m.

Work is just...work... same as usual... got Muse's "Absolution"...some good rockin' tunes... Radiohead...if they were still doing the "Bends"...

Left... went home...and got changed and went to Shelb's... Jack, Eric, So Won, Jeremy, Cecillia, Chris, Justin, and then my folks and Shelb's folks...small group...but we had fun talking, having beers, and eating loads of meat...

Afterwards...we went to Coldstone Creamery... a bit overrated...and definitley overpriced...but at least I had it once...

Gonna be stuck here all day today so I can leave at 4:00 for my third..."you know what" with "you know who".... but still haven't heard from Anime Insider ! What gives !?!??

CIndy's back... her going away party is on Friday though... oh man... I'm going to be so sad...but gives me an excuse to go to London...heh.

Pretty much it...oh yeah...MOJO mag this month...special limited edition ... ALL ABOUT MOZ AND THE SMITHS ! Great stuff in there... but it makes Moz sound like an eccentric ...ok...more like an absolute nutter.

Anyhooo... back to work...and then "you know what." .... wish me luck !

still processing...
Monday, June 21, 2004 09:26 a.m.

Ok...so the weekend....is a blur...but this is what I remember (and what I can divulge...heh.)

Friday: Went grocery shopping after a long day of work and what not... got "Big Fish" ...watched... relaxed...cleaned up...that's basically it.

Saturday: Up early... cleaned up more... laundry... and got ready for Laura.... met her at 71st...but it was lat eby then...so we just headed back to my place... I cooked her some veggie mexican stuff that was really good actually...and we watched "Memento"...which she had never seen before... listened to some music... had Coronas...and just talked all night...

Things with us always end up being emotional and confusing...we spent a lot of the time cuddling and then fighting...and then more cuddling...and ...the rest I can't really divulge...hahah. But she did make me two CDs...which is rare...no one makes me CDs. :(

She ended things with her bfriend...and she's missed me...and our long talks and other things...but I know that we probably aren't right for each other in THAT way... but we enjoy the company while it's there...and it staunches the loneliness for a few hours... and I miss having deep conversations...I mean...really deep conversations with someone.

And it feels good to have someone in your arms, doesn't it ?

Anyways...we didn't get much sleep and I ended up in Chris' bed for a few hours before she had to go... then my folsk call me and tell me we are going to my aunt's in Princeton...great...

So I rush out to take Laura to the train station... and she kisses me goodbye.

And... who knows what's going to happen... arrrgh.

Anyways...off to Jersey...I'm knackered... take the kids to the hoops...and I shoot a little and have to sit. Just beat... Alex is babysitting their family friend's maltese...P.J... cute...but they shaved off all his hair...not fluffy cute... :(

So I nap for hours and still exhausted...just beat.... eat...watch tv...spend some time with the family... etc. and before you know it...it's like 1030 and we head home...get home around midnight...

Talk to Chris a little... and shower and sleep...Eric's home and I say like good night to him and pass out...

Just a lot going on...need to get my head together on this... arrgh.

Hope you all had a happy Father's Day... the 4th is next holiday ?

ACK...it's Monday !

end of week stuffies...
Friday, June 18, 2004 09:42 a.m.

Not much going on besides work here.....

Wrote to Anime Insider...they are finishing up other phone interviews...so I'll hear from them soon... sigh...I really want this job...too bad it's so far away...but I think it would be worht it.

Had Subways with Eunice... she looks good in pink. :) They built this HUGE snack shack thing in the park...almost opened...man...they need to hurry and catch the summer crowds !

Went to Gap...got some new flip-flops and a ton of cheap boxers... wearing blue palm tree prints right now...stop picturing me...perv.

Home...watched "50 First Dates"...loved it! Very cute movie.

Must figure out drums for "tearing" ...arrrgh!~ Like 3-4 more songs after this ...and I am DONE... man...I hope I can finish by September...arrrgh !!!

Why aren't you watching "Coupling"...the original BBC version....it's one of my FAVORITE shows of all time...seriously...Season Three has been HILARIOUS. .... it was a wannabe "Friends"...and I think it ended up being better than "Friends"...check it out !

Talked to Laura last night... we are going to hang out on Saturday... she's coming to Queens...I'm making her dinner...we're going to watch "Harold and Maude" or something.... it should be fun... She definitely needs a friend right now... and I haven't seen her in ages... but at the same time... I tread cautiously...as I should. Handle with care, objects in mirror may appear closer , slippery when wet...ahem...etc.

Anyhooo...what a weird few weeks it's been...this summer is turning out to be wacky... why ?!?!? Sigh...pray for good things, kiddies.

TGIF. God loves you...and so do I.

wooo....shhh.
Thursday, June 17, 2004 10:04 a.m.

Ok... so work...I did it lightning fast... so I went to my interview... at 31st and 8th...

Met with the admin Abbey...very nice...and the Senior Ed... Adriana...very nice, just had a baby....seemed to really like me. And then another senior ed...Darryl? I'm not sure of his name... he wanted me to meet two more eds... but I had to get back to work and do more crap work...

Weird thing is...he said he wanted me to take a personality and a logic test...is this a psych profile ? I was expecting an editing test! Hmmm...but it seems like things went well...but where the heck is Anime Insider ?!?!? I'd rather do that...

Anyhooo...after work...went to hang out with Doris...she was feeling poopy...so we got ice cream and hung out... ran into Catherine from Stuy and Tufts...she moved to Shanghai...good for her.

Hung out with Doris and just talked about random stuff... pray for her Mom... things are just really weird for her and her family now... wow...if anyone needs some prayers it's them... got to be tough.

Listening to David Cross CD while I'm trying to come up with a vocab review exercise...too bad I can't use any of his words...heh.

Lucia? Cindy? My London girls... where are you ?

more developments...
Wednesday, June 16, 2004 09:59 a.m.

Ok...just seemed like a normal work day ...not much going on...and then I get an e-mail from the head hunters that haven't done squat for me...and guess what...interview.

So at noon today...I'll have to sneak out for an early "lunch" and go to ANOTHER educational publishing company and see if they want me...my only question is...do I want to keep doing this? I look perfect for this position...at least on paper...but we'll have to see how things work out later.

Truth be told, I'm still waiting to hear from Anime Insider... I really wanted a job like that...It's been two weeks...and I'm supposed to hear sometime today or by the end of the week... according to the guy I talked to ...oh, well..

Anyways... after wrok...went to Ryan (no longer Junior High) Middle School to watch Justin get his Library Service Award (they said it was for academic excellence... Justin thinks it was because he helped out in the library...hahah) ...and it was weird sitting in the auditorium that I used to sit in...like 15 years ago...what a trip!

And dang...some of those girls are JAILBAIT..what the heck are these little kids thinking dressing like that ?!?! Barely hitting puberty ! Sheesh. Cover up... your Mom must be ashamed!

Left the award ceremony early to get some groceries and came back ....went home...and watched the Pistons SLAUGHTER the Lakers...

Poor Chris...he was so upset...on the verge of tears...he loves him some Kobe...

I feel sorry for Karl Malone and Gary Payton...so close and yet so far...what can you do ? Next year...it won't be the same...the Lakers dynasty is pretty much over... sad to say.

Ok... another day... wish me luck and Godspeed on this interview thingee!

Things are looking up, no ?

HAHAH what a weird day...
Tuesday, June 15, 2004 09:25 a.m.

Ok...nothing out of the ordinary at work... our president came in ...and she gave a very demoralizing speech about money, money, money...which means diddly to me...

Anyhoo...got LOADS of work done...and then got my Dad his Father's Day present...two HUGE dirty joke books...yeah...I always complain...but he likes dirty jokes and he tells it to his friends...so it was something he'd enjoy...I didn't even look at the jokes..so I have no idea exactly how dirty they are...but there is 1000 pages of idrty jokes for him to sift through... enjoy, Daddy.

Met up with Mom and Justin for his Spongebob commercial audition...apparently it went well... or so he thinks... Mom drove into the city...so we went to pick up Dad...and went to Palm Too to meet up with my mom's friend and her son... ok..this is where things get interesting...

This Palm Too place is a place for steak...expensive steaks...and for mostly older rich white people...in any case... we go and order... I'm a little embarassed since my Mom's friend's son is treating us...let's call him ...Dan...in any case... Dan seems a little nervous and fidgety and he doesn't really seem like he can be still and focused...

Anyways...we order...my mom and her friend share a steak, I share a steak with Justin and my Dad gets the porterhouse...so we have food and basically listen to Dan talk about himself and fidget...and then I ask him... if he is going to take a vacation this year...and he says he is going to Barcelona, Ibiza, and Amsterdam...hmmmm can we say drug capitals of Europe? I wonder if he was just nervous...

THEN... my Dad wanted a glass...just a glass of wine...and then he asks Dan..."Can you recommend a wine?...and Dan snaps at him... "NO, I WILL NOT RECOOMEND A WINE!" and he says it twice...and we are all just stunned silent... wtf? If you are gonna take someone out to an expensive dinner...is a 10 dollar glass of wine going to matter?

In any case..we try to finish an awkward dinner... he's one of those people who don't "listen" but wait to talk... ...ugh...and she knows one of my friends too... eeeew.

ANyhooo...we leave...my Dad doesn't even thank the guy...he just gets in the car...and we go... wow...that was weird ...but FUNNY ! My Mom is pissed off and doesn't say anything the whole way home...and Justin is just grumpy all the way home... hahaha.

Chris is still feeling sick...poor kid...but stay away from me!

So...Laura calls and we talk...she ends up FINALLY breaking up with her boyfriend...which I saw coming for MONTHS...and she wanted to talk...long story short...

Yes, I'm an idiot for still thinking about her...but Karen O from the yeahyeahyeahs...always makes me think of her...and..I've had Laura on the brain lately...

So what does this mean? Well...we hang out on Saturday and see if we can be friends...

I'm a little tentative ...because she's at the rebound stage...and the reason she broke it off with her now "ex" is because they couldn't talk...which Laura and I happened to do for marathon sessions... as in from 8 PM until 8 AM kind of sessions...

And...I admittedly still think of her... so I'm going to try to be her friend... and that's the way the cokie crumbles...whatever that means.

Ok... mp3s are up ! download.com and myspace.com! Look at the side bar ! Sign the guestbook !!!

back to the grind...winds of change ! *Scorpions play in the background...begin whistlng !

dang...that's what I call productive...
Monday, June 14, 2004 09:19 a.m.

Friday we got off at 2 ! I went to look at some gear at guitar center...but decided against buying anyhting...home... watched tv and played some drums for "in your words"...eh... not much else ... weird thing was...I could not for the life of me...get the guitar part down for "tearing"...I guess I was too tired...

Saturday...got up and did laundry...recorded drums for "in your words"...I was a little unsure of it...but when I listened to it...seems like all the pieces fit...so is it done ? finished up the guitar on "tearing"...wasn't too bad...but have some more to do ... played some gams...finally watched "A Beautiful Mind" ... good stuff...but it was FULL SCREEN...aiiiieeeee !

Sunday:....Man...must have been really knackered from all the drumming...cause I didn;t get up until 1:30 ! ...went to get my hair cut... really, REALLY short...long haired Abe is no more ! super clean cut now... hmmm. then...went to church...it was weird because the Anglican service I used to go to...moved to this Seafarers house... where I guess....it's kind of like a meeting place for old Merchant Marines?...in any case...the sermon was on giving and money...not what I really needed to hear...

I've been feeling complacent and just blah in all areas of my life...I really needed something that stirred my emotions or sparked my intellect...didn't really get it this Sunday...

What I did get was some discount comics at Forbidden Planet...man...Greg Horn is one awesome painter... he does these amazing portraits of comic babes...but the interior art (and story) was wretched. UGH!

In any case...home...Lakers lose to Pistons and Chris is all upset...so upset he took a sick day today...hah!

Oh...I uploaded songs to myspace.com site... can anyone try it out and tell me it works? I'm having some problems with it...

Anyways...it was productive, no ?

Ugh...Monday...I need some human interaction besides co-workers and Chris...dang.

go white girl, go white girl, go!
Friday, June 11, 2004 10:22 a.m.

*SIGH...Lindsay tried to dance last night on the MTV movie awards...it was a valiant effort...but compared to the "You Got Served" crew....my little cutie could not compare...but she did a good job as a host...and the Mean Girls and Kill Bill parodies were the best part of the show...but what was up with the weird horror/video game motif ??? just plain out of place...

Other than that...work... thinking about getting guitar gear...and the USPS not delivering my Amazon packages is pissing me off !!!! ARRRRGH !!!

Not much else... still a little tired and groggy... we get out at 2 today in honor of President Reagan...goodbye GIPPER ! *tear. ...

Oh yeah... download.com has three mp3s up! Go check it out...I added a link to the side bar... <---- look to your left. :)

TGIF !

oh man...I need some sleep.
Thursday, June 10, 2004 09:44 a.m.

It wasn't even that hot last night...but I've got a total of maybe 7-8 hours of sleep over the past two nights...arrrgh.

It was boiling out...but I had to go out and get DC's Identity Crisis...um...the Elongated Man's wife getts whacked? That's where all the chaos comes from? In any case...supposed to be one more person? Who knows...but the writing made up for it... good stuff...

Went to Guitar Center to get a cable...it's the wrong one...great...have to go back today...

Home...tried to pick up an air conditioner from home to replace the crappy not-cold-at-all one I have at the moment... it was too big...crap.

In any case... practiced the drum track for "in your words"...ugh...crap... uploaded some songs to download.com...hopefully they will work...

But all in all...this is small potatoes... got some disturbing news about Doris' mom...sever retinal necrosis... so she's in the Eye and Ear Hospital... intercede in prayer for her...send her your well wishes...

My poor Doris...her family has been through so much in recent years...and all this puts a damper on the 4.0 she scored this year...

But what can we do but continue to live and love as fiercely as we should? ... Believe in what you will... but I do believe that there is a grand design...and we are just struggling through the moment until we recognize the whys and hows .... wisdom ...it ain't easy.

Anyhooo... it's Thursday...and you know what that means...Lindsay tonight on MTV Movie Awards....awwww yeah.

I need sleep. When am i gonna get a cuddlebunny ??

oh man...it's getting hot.
Wednesday, June 9, 2004 09:46 a.m.

Oh man... I felt a headache coming on...I got maybe 3-4 hours sleep last night...ugh...but I feel ok... I think.

Summer is here... yay for skirts! ...that's all I have to say on that subject.

Worked...had lunch with Eunice for the first time in like a month... pizza and italian ice...her hair got long... but I think mine is longer...hahah ok...must get it ALL CUT OFF...sometime next week.

Home... recorded more of "in your words"...wow...I'm working really fast...and it sounds AMAZING..the more I record the more I learn about what works...and producing and mixing down... now if I can get the reverb effects to work on my computer...things would be GREAT...arrrgh...crappy computer stalls and jitters...pisses me off.

Ok...talk about clutch...Kobe hits the tres...and the Lakers win in OT...man. Say what you want...but he's still a great ball player... the other stuff... who knows. Can't play ball behind bars...unless you are in OZ... *cowbell, music plays... HUHHHHHH!

Trying to upload music up to myspace.com...will keep ya'll occupied... new stuff sounds really good.

DAI photos ! Look here:

HOT WEDNESDAY... hump day....urrrgh.

we DID as infinity !
Tuesday, June 8, 2004 09:42 a.m.

Monday started off as any work day... got a lot of stuff in ...and started working on French pieces...Chevrefoil and Song of Roland...oh joy.

Let's just skip to the good part:

So I get to the Cutting Room at 5:00 and there are 3 people there already...and 2 leave...so it's me and this nice dude Larry, from Syracuse...waiting to get into the Do As Infinity concert... we are thinking to ourselves...man, we are early...good thing we were...because the line started to go around the block before the doors opened... WOW.

So, Aaron joins us and his friend Kenny...Justin and my Mom come later...and Tomoko... we are just kicking it on line... and getting excited... the show is 21 and over...so I had talked to the nice bouncer guy, Mike last week to make sure Justin could get in... he gave him a wristband and Justin was the only one under 21 to get into the show... Mike was a real nice guy too.

Mike tells me that the Cutting Room is 110 bucks to book upfront and about 1000 bar guarantee...depending on the night...soooo... that means I think I can book the place for my CD release in the fall... I hope I can get that many people... hmmm...

Tomiko and Ryo from the band just walk in and out of the club a few times...and we just stare...she is REALLY cute... heh. Didn't get any autographs...but we took a ton of pics (even though it said NO PHOTOGRAPHY...flashbulbs went off all night... Japanese! DUH!)

In any case, we are the first ones in after the fan club...and we had a few drinks and stood for another hour... oh man...5 hours on your feet is tough on the knees...

In any case, DO AS INFINITY go on and we go nuts... just a few highlights of what I shouted out during the interludes...ahem: "AMERICA LOVES YOU!", "WE LOVE YOU TOMIKO!" , "YOUR ENGLISH IS EXCELLENT!" (Ryo's was...kinda.), "ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER!!!" ...anyways...they made sense in the moment.

The band was tight and Tomiko was sexycute and had an amazing voice... wow... they opened with "Summer Days"...and played most of their hits... best ones were "Toku Maade" (my fave!) and "Fuki Mori" ("Deep Forest"...the reason they are getting recognition in the US....it's the theme song to Inuyasha...heh...anime geeks.) and a bunch of other great songs like "Gates of Heaven" and...crap...titles I forget...but I recognize the songs...

Anyways....the highlight...I ran uo and gave Tomiko a copy of my EP...and she looked at the baby picture and showed the audience and had a huge smile on her face... heh...she makes amazing eye contact... she doesn't break her stare...soooo kawaii. :)

Justin and everyone had a great time...the Japanese do a weird synchronized (kinda fascist looking if you ask me) pointing/jumping/devil horns love you/blitzkrieg bop thing...very ...um...interesting...ok dorky.

After the concert...we had our share of t-shirts, wristband, towel (???) schwag... Justin bought most of it...and we signed a board of well wishes for DAI... it was an awesome, awesome show... They were shooting the show for an upcoming DVD... so we'll most likely be on it. :)

What made it special was...they only played twice in the US... once last week at Project A-kon (anime convention..heh.) and then last night...so we are super lucky... LUCKY !!! (or "rrrucky!")...and we made some friends during the night...

Trainhomesleep.

Aaron sent me some digipics...I'll put them on my website or something... heh.

What a great night...Justin had a great time...that's what's most important...and he's getting braces ! My big baby is growing up...on the train he said "I want to marry Tomiko"...yeah, right...she's MINE! :P

Do as infinity, kids...whatever that means.

dangnabbit headaches...
Monday, June 7, 2004 09:36 a.m.

ahhh...weekend.

Friday... well.. we had a bomb scare at work on Friday.. A suspicious package was delivered to someone on the 6th floor...and we had to scram. We have a bunch of Jewish groups and Hillary Clinton has an office here. Go figure... two weeks ago was the fire...and now this? We are over our quota for summer drama already !

Went straight home and watched tv and bummed around... so tired... these headaches just knock me for a loop.

Saturday: Got up early and took Justin to see Harry Potter 3...it was EXCELLENT... Gary Oldman did a great job as Sirius Black...he made the movie for me... I never thought Sirius was really that fleshed out ...or rang emotionally true (ok...too deep) but Oldman's performance really made me believe ...and he looked the part. This is the best one so far, I'd say... got some games at Gamestop...and went home... had to take a nap...and just got up and cleaned and that was pretty much it...

Ronald Reagan... wow... it feels like an era has passed and one of the figures from my childhood memories is gone... hmmm... a lot to process on that one.

Sunday: More headaches and just had to sleep in... didn't do much except bum around the house... cleaned up. Felt so groggy and out of it... worked on "In Your Words" though...got a lot done.

guitar sounds great...bassline is ok, vocals... just a pre-lim track before I get real... just to keep time...and a litle keyboard counter-melody line that I just improved...it sounds GREAT... I'm so excited about it...I want to go home and work on it NOW. dreading the drum stuff...but it could be good. I want to get this song done by next week!

Another bonus.. was doing laundry with Chris...and went downstairs and found an old NES system with mario and 2 Sesame Street games... best thing was it WORKS ! So we have an old school NES system now... woooo! Thank you, neighbor !

AND..the Sopranos finale was great...the highlight for me was the hug between Tony and Christopher...they both lost loved ones this season...and basically, by their own hands...for the "sins" that they committed...I could write a paper on it...seriously.

Anyhoo... DO AS INFINITY tonight ! Going to try to get in...even though we aren't part of the fanclub...I'm a little worried that we are going to get turned away...but oh well...what can you do ?

ugh...it's monday....going to be a busy week. I'm sleepy.

urrrgh...another one...
Friday, June 4, 2004 10:12 a.m.

I was doing so well! Now I smell like Ben-Gay and I've been popping advils...dang headaches. I can't wait for allergy season to be over finally... sheesh.

Anyhooo... yesterday was chockfull of work...and I got my first draft of art stuff, basically done. wooo..

Poor Eunice...her car got broken into...and some stuff got swiped... arrrgh...I haven't seen her in so long.

Went home...watched "Stuck On You"...which was pretty good...not super funny...but actually kind of sweet... movie about brothers...I can relate...

Speaking of brothers... Justin does this really cute hting now...he still holds my hand when we cross the street or whatever...but he gets embarassed and then uses some karate move on me...or hits me or something...and he eventually ends up holding my hand anyways... I don't mind... he's still a baby to me... now if Eric tried to hold my hand...hahah I wouldn't mind either... my brothers are always cute to me...hahahah. I actualy had a dream about Justin last night...about when he was a baby... don't remember much more than that...just remember how he looked and smelled...

Thinking about other things...especially about a certain someone...always gets me depressed...came out of nowhere yesterday...and this wave of dread and sorrow just drowned me ...but I was ok after awhile...wow...it will be two years soon...it seems like yesterday...but in another life sort of way...know what I mean?

I'm forgetting what it's like to have feelings for anyone any more... do I just not care? Am I that jaded ? I'm waiting for someone to wake me up from this haze...I can't take much more of this.

In any case... worked on the final mix downs of "Deal With This In The Morning" ...and I mapped out a schedule.... If I want 15 songs on the CD...I will have to finish 2 songs a month...to get it done by the end of summer... man... that's a lot... I might just make it 12...but if I can record and mix down as fast as this last one...then maybe it can be done...we'll see.

Anyhooo... TGIF...I feel like crap.

wait and see...
Thursday, June 3, 2004 09:35 a.m.

Archived the May entries...

Pretty eventful day...

Work is the same...still plowing through the crap work...

Had my phone interview with Anime Insider while I sat in Madison Square Park... hmmm... sounds like something I could definitely do...the only problems... possible (most likely pay cut) and the commute is crazy far !!! But otherwise...it could be my dream job...or it might make me hate anime...who knows. They might not even offer me the job... wait and see.

Justin had his callback for the Gerber commercial...he was in and out of that audition in like 10 mins. ...you can never tell...sometimes they just know if they want to cast the kid... if he gets it...he starts shooting on Monday...and finishes Tuesday...

Other than that... took Justin home on the train...watched tv...made a rough mix of "Deal WIth This In The Morning"... arrrgh...one bad note is bothering me...I don't know if I should try to fix it...or if that will ruin everything... I might just leave it...I might be the only one that notices... anyhooo... the rest of the song sounds pretty good.

I gave 40 bucks to charity this month ! I am a philanthropist ! HAHAH...I am so broke , it's not funny.

Wow...it's Thursday already. Neat.

Oh...teabagopenmic.com links to my music webpage now...pretty cool !

Wooot..Thursday. Pray for me...pray for good things... thank God.

hmmm...maybe ?
Wednesday, June 2, 2004 08:40 a.m.

So...I have a phone interview today with Anime Insider magazine ! The position is for "Copy Editor"...so that leads me to believe...chances are I won't be able to take it... it sounds like a huge paycut...but who knows...I'd like to talk to the guy and weigh my options... he might not even want me...but stilll... wow... we'll see...wish me luck, k ?

Work is work...writing art stuff again...

Had lunch with Gloria and her friend Lynn...at awful Vietnamese place in K-town...well...my food was bad... maybe their's was good...but it was overpriced, nonetheless..

Hung out with Cindy after work...I was her bitch and followed her around as she bought shoes...hahah...it was fun...I like shopping...especially if I'm good and I don't spend money.

We went back to her place and watched the Teabag broadcast on cable...but it was the April 23rd show! They are behind a month! Some awful people on ther...*shudder.

Had some really good Westville burgers...and then went home...

Got the call from Anime Insider and was floored... I would love a fun job like this...but if the conditions are right...and it's a big if...they are up in Congers, NY... that's like past Nanuet...sheesh.

And watched the Pistons win...woooo... as long as the Pacers don't make the finals...I'll be happy...but LA is gonna win it all...no doubt.

Interesting start to June...now if I could find a nice girl... that would make it magic.
