04:27 pm - busy busy busy well, its been a hell of a long time since ive updated. news....hmmm... well moved in the beginning of august. i currently live w/ my rother in brick right now. but i hate it b/c of certain situations. but oh well, i can always move in w/ kelly :-) been working alot. summer was really busy. worked lots of hours this summer. more then i did last year. was considering the iron worker apprenticeship, and got in, but decided against it cuz wouldnt be able to work w/ my brother in law. but will have a new job very soon. my brother bought a scallop boat. have some work to do on it b4 we start sailing, but will be worth it when we start. there are still no benefits w/ the job but its alot more money per day. the pay rate is $400 a day, but its long hours and u earn u money. but i dont mind work. i think that every job that ive considered in the last few months is hard, physical labor. it makes me feel like ive accomplished something, though, and the end of the day. and besides, i love working w/ my brother. its work, but we make it fun so it goes fast. im really looking forward to it so i can pay for some things. especially one thing. and thats my final blurb here for today. two weeks ago, kelly and i got engaged. im so excited. i love her so much. i know its only been 4 1/2 months, but theyve been great and i know that im supposed to be w/ her. so i figured y not ask her to marry me... weeee.. i still get butterflies. i know its corny, but oh well, thats just me. we havent set a date, but we've decided on 2 things.. 1) we're gonna get married on a beach 2) we're goin to ireland for our honeymoon. well, i lied, my last blurb is that my brother wayne and donna just had their second baby. they had a lil girl and her name is faith leanne elliott. shes so adorable. she was born sept. 20. ok. that is all for now. hope to hear from everyone soon.

03:20 pm shit, its been a while.. nt too too much goin on lately. i started workin down at the boatyard in tuckahoe to do work on someones boats. tis good b/c i was startin to get bored sittin home all the time. its an hour and a half drive, but its ok cuz i dont have to drive so i can fall asleep if i want to. plus i dont have to buy lunch or anything b/c this guy is paying for everything. should be gettin some money from him tomorrow. dont know exactly how much im gettin paid but right now any amt of money is good cuz it helps pay the bills. he also has to give me the rest of the poles he wants done for the boats cuz the season is gonna start soon. didnt do anything spectacular for st patricks day. just stayed home. had my corned beef and cabbage w/ potatoes. and then drank my irish beer. decided not to go out cuz 1)bars were fuckin packed and 2)didnt feel like havin to walk or have someone else drive me cuz i was not about to go out on st patricks day and drink and then attempt to drive, especially w/ all the cops around. so, it was just better to stay home and drink and watch movies. watched the two best st patricks day movies ever, "the quiet man" and "boondock saints". dont know if u can really call boondock saints a st patricks day movie, but it starts off on st patricks day so i justify it as a st patricks day movie, so pppppllllbbbbtttt :-p what else..... the hunt for a vehicle has once again started. not that i dont like my lil shadow, its just that i dont know how long shes gonna last. went and looked real quick at a blazer thats been sittin in de felice chevy on rt 88, but def cant afford it. its a 2004 blazer 4x4. the only thing that this truck doesnt have is leather seats, so thats why it $30,000. so, needless to say, i cant afford that right now. ima go look on 37 later on too to see what kinda deals they got goin on down there right now. on another note, we found out that erica is pregnant!!!!!! everyones so happy. she and kenny have been trying for 2 years now to have another kid, and its finally happened. she is due in november. this makes 3 new babies this year, so its gonna be a busy one. ken and eric both agreed that erica would need a bigger truck. she had a jeep liberty, but it didnt have 3rd row seatin.. the reason for that is b/c she'll have to put 3 car seats in the truck. the twins rnt allowed to sit in the front and by law they still have to sit in car seats cuz they dont meet the weight reqirement. so yesterday they went and bought a 2005 dodge durango w/ a hemi. this truck is sweet. has the 3rd row seating, leather, dvd and god knows what else. erica said she didnt need all that but my brother decided to get it anyway. plus itll keep the kids occupied on a long drive. well, i shall leave everyone for now. will update soon. leave some love Current Mood: contemplative

04:20 pm so bored right now. just got done playin w/ my niece and one nephew. took some pics of them. so adorable. lil tired right now. went to atlantic city yesterday w/ my sis in law erica. i didnt win any money which sucked, but on the other hand, i didnt lose as much as she did. so after we were done losin our money, we went to "hooters" in trump marina. hadnt been there in quite some time. we just ordered buffalo shrimp and buffalo wings. the wings from any hooters r sooooo good. then we came to the conclusion that we want to open up a hooters of our own. we just have to find a location and the finances, but oh well. someday we will. she also told me that jenks is have their job fair soon, and told me that theyre gonna need bartenders. so, ima go and fill out an application to go do that. hopefully ill get some nights and make some extra cash. ill still be workin on the boat durin the day, and then go there at nite if i get the job. the extra income will be nice. this way i wont have to take money out of the bank when i do actually go out and do something. went to be around 11 and then woke up at 2am. i couldnt fall back asleep and just laid in bed until almost 5. not bein able to fall back asleep really sux, cuz you just get even more tired than u were b4 u went to bed. ok, ill stop ramblin on. thats all that i have for u now. peace out Current Mood: tired

07:23 pm well, weekend was eventful. didnt work on sat so did a whole lot of nothing. sunday, we got out so i made some money cuz the people on the boat actually spoke english... in other words.. they tipped well.. then after work i drove down to maryland w/ my brother cuz he had to deliver a boat to a boatyard in south jersey. i was gonna do a turn-around, but was too tired. didnt get much sleep. and it wasnt b/c i had to sleep on the floor in the room. it was b/c my brother and one of the other guys that stayed were snoring so fuckin loud. so loud that the other two guys deliverin the boat heard them thru the walls in the next room. we woke up at 430 and then drove them to the boat around 530 or so. then i was on my way home. i thought that i was gonna hit more traffic than i did. i made it home from maryland in four hours. my brother called to se where i was and i told him that i was crossin the brielle bridge and he was quite surprised. i took a power nap when i got home cuz i had to get my taxes done at 11. was quite happy w/ my return. i should be gettin it like the first week in march. then after that, i went and bought some flowers, came home, then it was off to dmv to register the shadow. now all i have to do is bring it to my brothers shop to check everything out cuz its been sittin in my driveway for lil over a year. didnt do anything to celebrate valentines day. around 7 or so i went to see robyn at work. we talked for a few minutes then i went and got a cinnamon-sugar pretzel and soda. said goodbye to robyn and then went home. went to bed early. i fell asleep watching tv somewhere around 11. today was not a productive day. i wasnt feelin too great last nite so i slept in really late today. i officially woke up at like 1 but was in and out from my sleep since 10 or so. my sis called me up to go to toys r us w/ her cuz she wanted to get rileys birthday present if they had it and she needed me to carry it cuz shes pregnant. when we got there, we saw that they didnt have it, but i bought riley a big easter bunny that they had and i bought myself a video game. i bought "Champions.. Return to Arms". i cant wait to play it. they say i can import my champion from champions of norrath. so, after toys r us, shannon bought boston market for dinner. went back to her house and ate dinner. me and tim watched seinfeld. and thats about it people. peace out cub scout Current Mood: hyper Current Music: now 17

08:07 pm ooohhhhhh, hhheeellllllllloooooooooo!!!!! whats happening people. not much to speak of here. life is pretty boring lately.. just been hanging home doin the low key thing. havent seen anyone in forever and im a lil sad bout that, but i know everyone is busy. hung out w/ tweed couple times last week which was cool. hadnt seen in since mid december so i was glad to hang w/ him. hes cahnged alot. not in a bad way tho. hes lil more outspoken now than alot of people seem to know or remember of him. and he has grown his hair out. he doesnt have the short shaved head. went out couple times w/ melissa. we did the norm, movies and go to the bar. sunday nite at the bar was fun. some random guy started talking to us... so it turned into a longer nite than i expected. he bought few rounds for us cuz he just moved here and was tryinto make friends, so it twas a nice gesture. i dont really have a job as of right now. not gettin out to much on the boat so i filed for unemployment for now. my brother kenny might try to get me in where he works and my brother in law is gonna get me an application to become an iron worker apprentice. that would be cool. its $15 an hour to start, i would get paid$7.25 for vacation pay and ful benefits. so that would be cool. and if i did get the job i would have to go to school mon, tues and wed nites after work from 5 - 10. would be long days but would pay off in the end cuz iron workers make pretty good money. so, i hope that happens. dont really have a car either. stil driving my bros firebird and im starting to hate it. so, im either gonna fix up my shadow or be stupid and go lease or finance a car. probably the most economical cars would be hyundai, and i saw a nice sonata when i was dropping my sis off at the nissan dealership on 37 to pick up her truck. well, tis all for now. dont feel like talking about other things cuz they r pissin me off right now, so, buh bye all.

12:48 am well, not much of anything goin on here really. since ive been back home, ive worked only 2 days which sux. i have no car. im borrowin my brothers car and i dont have the money to get another one. the money that i had saved and went to st john w/ either got spent on food, stuff for the apartment or something along those lines, and just got done payin shit load of bills. big hit was a hospital bill from last year that ive been fightin w/ insurance about. and the one bill was just from the dr. and not the visit to the er. but anyways, last sat went bowling w/ robyn, chris, nancy, brigid, scott and scotts lil brother tyler. it was a good time. i had lots of fun.. havent seen them in very long time and it was nice to see them again. went and saw white noise on sunday. wasnt really as good as it was hyped up to be. so, i suggest not goin to see it. this week hasnt been anything exciting. its been cold and windy so no work other than the stuff that i can do in my garage. tonite went to my friend melissa's house and we watched couple movies. she wanted to watch bring it on so we did and then after, i saw that she had "miracle". i hadnt seen it so i popped that one in. was pretty good movie. one that i would suggest seein. lately, been doin some thinking. not bad thinking tho. just realizing that i wouldnt be who i am or where i am at this point in my life. the obvious is my family, but just as equally as important r my friends. and i have the greatest friends in the world. there r 2 that really stand out amongst them all. eventho they know who they r, ima gonna say it again. w/o robyn and meghan, i dont know how i would have made it thru the last year. they were there for me in some very hard times. and i am greatful for that. there were times that i know i got lil out of control w/ stuff and probably pissed them off, but still they were bymy side and i cant thank them enough for everything that theyve done. i dont know how i could ever repay them for bein such great friends. thank u and i love u both to death. ok, now one last thing. most people probably know that my sis is pregnant again, and if u dont know, well now u do. she just found out on wedsneday that shes having another girl. and today, well technically thursday, i found out that my brother wayne and donna r having another baby. shes due in september. very exicted about all of this. well, ive rambled enough for one nite. nite all Current Mood: tired

11:05 pm well, didnt do a whole hell of alot today. woke up late. did some work in the garage today which is good cuz im fuckin broke. so, i should have all 44 rods done for next weekend and the guy will owe me lots of money. then i went to my brothers down in bayville and saw the twins and gave erica and ken their presents that i bought them. erica got a carton of cigs and a very nice ashtray w/ a map of the virgin islands on it and i got my brother a t-shirt from woodys that said, " Happy hour is the reason i wake up every morning" i thought it was funny and that he would like it and he did,so i was happy. and i got zack and brody big sharks teeth. theyre gonna bring them in for show and tell next week. lol :-) then i came home, did some more work and went and got some sushi, ate dinner. then proceeded to my room and hung up the sun picture and sun clock that robyn bought me for christmas. just got done watching van helsing and eating more sushi. me and kenny were discussin cars while i was at his house. erica said i could take over payments on her car. they r $250 a month, but i saw the liberty advertised for cheaper and my bro was sayin that i should get one. i told him that i could only get one if he could get me the price in the paper and he thinks that he can swing that deal for me. i hope he can cuz then i only need $950 at the signing and it would be $150 a month.. then i would have to come up w/ the first insurance payment as well, but i know i could get money from someone in my fam until i got back on my feet here.. and i know i could make the money back fast as long as i keep gettin side work on top of my regular work. and they know im good for it, especially in the summer when things r really busy at work.. so, i hope that i can get me a new car.. everyone cross their fingers!!!!!!!
