Game?

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 22:26:09 -0400

This is some sort of game that Eric Smith wants me to play. This is taken from Eric’s site:

“So a couple of bloggers are playing a little game based on meme, a concept that Tim made me read about on Wikipedia, cause my brain to ache a little, but interesting never the less. My pal Mark over at The Poverty Jet Set and of Cheap Dates fame sent a tag my way, so it’s time to play along!

Rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.”

My (Alex) Eight Random Facts:

1. I was born 92% deaf. Through various surgeries, tubes in my ears and years and years of speech therapy, I am as close as I’ll ever be to being able to hear fully but I do experience difficulty. I said my first word when I was six and I remember saying it.

2. The first CD I ever bought was Coolio’s Gangsta Paradise. I conned my grandmother to buy it for me at the record store that used to be in the Shoprite plaza on Oak Tree Road in Edison. The first CD I ever listened to was a CD by MC Hammer which I rented from the Monroe Township Library.

3. I’ve had like 47 jobs, my longest being my close to four years at Commerce Bank.

4. I’ve had a good amount of cars (from most recent): 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1991 Jeep Cherokee, 1990 Toyota Celica, 2002 Dodge Neon, 2001 Jeep Wrangler, 1973 Plymouth Duster

5. I’ve gotten in some wierd jams with my car. One time I drove off a cliff near my home in Altoona, PA but a tree branch coming out of the huge cliff caught my car. I truck pulled it back out and I drove home. Another time I flipped over my 73 Duster a couple of times and wound up vertical in between two trees. I climbed outside of my passenger side window and jump down, fucking up my hip and knee in the process. I never went to the doctor, my friend pulled me out and I called my dad and told him I just went off the road a little bit (that thing was a fucking tank, no dents). My leg still sucks to this day.

6. I moved to Monroe from Bloomsbury, NJ (near the Delaware Water Gap) when I was five weeks old but did most of my growing up at my grandparent’s home in Edison.

7. The vast, vast majority of my life has been spent drug and alcohol free.

8. All Records wasn’t my first company. I’ve owned various design, print and media firms and also hosted an national internet call-in radio show while in middle school which was very close to being picked up by CN8 in Philadelphia to turn into a round-table teenager TV show.

I gotta figure out eight friends of mine that keep blogs. I’ll post them later.

Pensito Review » Bush Filed a Motion Last Year to Uphold the 33-Month Sentence of Victor Rita, a 24-Year Marine Corps Vet Convicted on Same Crimes as Libby

Pensito Review » Bush Filed a Motion Last Year to Uphold the 33-Month Sentence of Victor Rita, a 24-Year Marine Corps Vet Convicted on Same Crimes as Libby: Busy commuted Libby’s sentence (which was less than 33 months, I think it was 2 years) because he thought it was “excessive” for the crime. But this guy who’s probably done more good for the welfare of the nation than Scooter Libby did deserves 33 months?

Why The Hell Am I Doing This?

Why the hell am I giving my whole day up tomorrow to help out some company I’ve never heard of with two foreign dudes I’ve never met and not get paid for a week and I don’t even know how much I’m getting paid? Why can’t I just say no to people?

hey there. if you haven’t guessed already, whenever i add photos to my flickr, they automatically get posted here which is pretty cool but random. all the pictures below were just from me testing out my camera settings. except for the last picture which was a cool one i found on the internet. click the link below it to check out some more cool ones.

lately, i’ve just been chilling at home. playing a lot of xbox (mlb 2k7, forza 2, the bigs). my xbox time has been limited though since i kinda got my brother addicted to it, all he does now is play forza 2 and rainbow six which i bought him for his birthday, even though its not for 2 months. he has a lot more friends than i do on xbox and the friends that i do have don’t play the games that i have and don’t try to fulfill some little league fantasy of playing for the mets.

tomorrow is the fourth of july, the most important fourth of the year. i’m probably going to spend it home. no ones approached me about doing anything (not that they ever do) and the one place my family used to go right on the lake in thompson park we can’t anymore since my friend’s father died.

i don’t even know if anyone reads this and let’s face it, i’m only posting a text entry to try to impress eric smith enough for him to post a link on me on his blog. he’s a music video star now if you haven’t heard, playing the main, non-band member lead in the new silverstein video. jamie blair also did make up on it. why are all of my friends doing cool things in the industry but me? haha.

go see transformers. so so so so amazing.
