He Might Be Crazy

so sad

Sat, 09 Dec 2006 03:28:11 GMT

Here is the moment i realized that maybe i need to change my life path....

Today at a rest stop in new jersey i was looking at combos, two bags to be exact. Pizzeria pretzel and Nacho cheese pretzel. I couldn't decide. I had a bag in each hand and looked back and forth for quite some time and actually mumbled to myself "follow your heart Anthony". At which point i decided that maybe i should just stop living. I put this very true story up on here because i know there is a very special person living in NC who would probably get a kick out of this.

not to much to post other than i just saw the trailer for "half nelson" and it got me really excited. Apparently the movie already came out and i really want to see it. Ryan goslings character is kind of what i strive to be. It will be really cool to see this movie.

So things have been going well. We have a mouse in our apartment, and i have been working like a dog but it's okay. Everyone is having fun and Stef is coming today. I was just on this website(chucklemonkey.com LOLOLOL) which has listing sof all the open mics in the city. yes, i still look at them wantingly. I don't know. Every year i say i'm going to do one, every year i chicken out. i get on writing roles and then i stop. First order of business, i need to FORCE myself to write. Once i do that, then it's easier to get on a role. The scary thing is, as i was on the list of open mics, i started to gte butterflies and my heart actualyl started ot beat faster. That can't be a good sign. It's amazing how easy it is to say 'i could do that" when you see it on T.V. but to actually do it is another story.

Update:
just got off the phone with a really frusterating person calling for C.E., then right after that a woman called(for her daughter)asking about registration. Umm, your daughter 18-20 and she can handle herself. I'm getting tired of these parents doing the work for their kids. They can fuck off.

mini-rant over.

Saw a sweet bollywood movie last night and i'm going to watch another one with Stef tonight. I really need to get out of here. i like the people i work with, but i hate the people i deal with.
over and out.

awesomeness

All my co-workers and i have become pretty good friends. Also, apartment life has been good although someone(me) needs to take out the trash today. Right now i am at work, and i finally just finished all the registrations. I started at 11am. Stef is coming over tonight, which makes me happy since i haven't really been able to spend any time with her. getting down to the city is hard, especially when you are watching your money and you get out of work late sometimes, but we're making it work. She's going to spend the night, maybe i'll order us up some chinease food. Or maybe i'll make her some dinner. Who knows. All i know is i have work at 8:30 tommorow so that doesn't leave us to much time before i have to go. Although she might stay with jose until i come back from work. okay, well that's my quick update. Take care.

Summer goings ons

Thu, 25 May 2006 18:39:11 GMT

As i noted in my last entry, school is over. I got my grades back, i got a 3.57. I made deans list so i'm happy, but it ended up dropping my overall a little bit. No big deal though, i made it through a very stressfull semester and hard classes. As of right now, alot has happened. Both my parents quit their jobs and got better ones, my dad bought a new car and i'm going to a yankee game on sat. I'm at work right now and if you haven't heard i am living in an on campus apartment until june 28th, which is when i go to Italia for 5 weeks. I am very excited about that, but that's for another post. it has been weird living with a roomate again, but Aaron and i are great friends so we get along. My other apartment mates are cool too. Last night i went to Stef's brothers confirmation ceremony. it was really nice and we went out for indian food afterwards. I felt bad because schedualing made it where i couldn't go to my cousins confirmation on sun. because i had to move. I'm doing my best here folks. Anyway,the summer has been going well. Work has been slow and boring but i'm getting paid. Right now, my paycheck was negated by my credit card bill so i have to watch any sort of spending until my next check. I didn't even spend money on crap, it was necessary stuff that killed me. From the looks of my schedual, i doubt i'll be going home at all this summer. I might be coming home this weekend, but who knows.
I'm seeing x-men III tonight. Sweet.

there it is folks,i'm officially done with the school year. God bless America

Mon, 15 May 2006 14:08:57 GMT

it's a little wierd. This semester i lightened up alot, and still seemed ot do well in school. Although, while i seem very calm right now, i am a bit worried about how all my finals went. Sometimes i'll just be sitting there and i wonder if i could have answered that question better. I don't think i did terribly, i think i got some B+'s and maybe some A-'s, but who knows. If i don't get deans list this semester, which very well might happen,it will be a bit wierd. I'll deal, but i would be nice to keep the streak alive. This is totally a nerd complaint, but oh well.
Other than that, since i have been done with all my finals, i have just been hanging out with alot of people and watching movies non-stop...and eating alot of food. Beyond that,i'm almost done with my senior project proposal.It's looking pretty good.
I can't beleive i'm going to be a senior next year, and after that shit really hits the fan. My whole life will change, and it's a bit scary and exciting. Of course, i'll just be going to another school so my lifestyle won't be to much different. Who am i kidding, it will be. Ugh. Anyway, off to some meetings. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Tue, 09 May 2006 14:17:15 GMT

finals are starting. I've studied really hard over the past two weeks and i'm still unsure. The best i can do is just go in there and get it done. I barely slept last night. Even with my macro final on thurs, this is the day i have been most anxious about. I'm dedicating my finals to you Wilson. Godspeed. You were a true gentleman, a true friend.

Won't you spare me over until another year....

Wilson S.G. Alcott (2006-2006) R.I.P

O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how you're treatin' me
You've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
-Ralph Stanley

My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.

so i'm looking at grad school websites and oh my god it is very intimidating. UNC, Virginia,chicago,columbia,ohio state(not as much) and some others. They are all so competitive and they are like "so,yeah. we accept about ten people.you better be good". oh well,i'll just have to keep doing what i'm doing. School is going great this semester. i have been busier than ever but i'm finally doing it on my terms. I'm having a greta time and relaxing, but still getting good grades. I go out to the city, i have fun, i go see friends and shows and comedy. I'm finally enjoying everything alot more, and i still have another year thank god. Spring break was fantastic, if you know me than you were either on the trip or heard about it in person, so i won't type it here. After the south i spent the rest of my break in manhaton and brooklyn(WHAT!) i got to spend time with my friends on ther trip, stef, and then see my sister and her boyfriend. Good times had by all. I have pictures up on my facebook, although the few film puicture si took were destroyed when they came in contact with a magnet. I only took six though,so it's all good.
peace out to brooklyn.

I showed up, but so did everyone else...

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 16:24:43 GMT

So the other day my former teacher sent me an e-mail, as well as to four other people telling us about this workshop day at Yale for the ICC(International Criminal court). She said she would give us recomendations, which kind of made me feel good. I'm not going to lie. it's nice to have a teacher recognize you...for anything. While i pride myself on trying hard not to kiss the asses of professors, things like that make you feel good, like they see you for someone who is responsible and does well. Since only five of us got it i was like "that's pretty sweet" although i was excited,i knew i would run into some grade 'A" overachieving pricks, who would spend the whole day kissing the asses of the people running it. I was going to go though, because it would be informative and educational, and it might turn out to be fun. So yeah, it made me feel good until this morning when the provost sent out an e-mail telling EVERYONE ON CAMPUS about it. if anything,it made me realize that maybe this thing meant more to me than just something on a resume. Maybe it meant some kind of seperation from the pack, you know? I'm really self conscience about school and whether or not i can keep up with these kinds of kids because this kind of stuff doesn't run my life and/or make me mentally orgasm. It's not my whole life, and in reality, it's not my main passion. I love it to death though. I think being personally informed and recomended for this thing made me feel like maybe i won't be some unoworthy kid who does his work, but doesn't impress or stick out. I still might go, but as stupid as it sounds, the whole campus invite kind of ruined me. i don't want to go if everyone i fucking know in the departments will to. it's like being personally told about this special dinner, and when you get there everyone you know is just sitting there, mentally telling you that it's no big deal. Whatever the case is, spring break is here and i'm very happy. Time for the south!

I just had to write up some kids in a suite down the hall because they're bathroom was disgusting. Their response "what the fuck!? We can deal with ti just fine! So if we can live in it it should be okay!' with these really nasty attitudes. Then they were like "are you going to do a germ test now?" thinking they were really witty and sticking it to the man and i was like "keep giving me an attitude because i don't really give a shit" Then i was like "bye" and they said bye and one said "get a real job"
People like them piss me off, they have been written up so many fucking times and no one has kicked them out. Both times we inspected their room it had shitloads of beer cans. I don't get it. It's not like i care enough about them to want them out or anything,if they were well behaved i would like them. But don't give me shit because you're bathroom has more diseases than a vietnamese whore den during the war.

Comedy Cellar!

Wed, 22 Feb 2006 00:09:44 GMT

Last night was great. Went to the comedy cellar for the first time and loved it. Stef and i sat right in front of the microphone and had a great time. Seeing jim norton perform again was fantastic, and he killed. Todd barry, marina franklin, russ meneve, were all really funny. The food was good too. I always heard the cellar was small, but jesus christ, it is fucking small. It's the size of a couple of dorms rooms if they were put together, but nothing huge. Which is perfect,since it's in a basement and the atmosphere was awesome. Perfect for comedy. needless to say i was with my girlfriend,in the place i worship and have wanted to visit since high school(you think i would have gone already),so i was happy. i think i never went before because i always wanted my first time in the cellar to be on stage, but i decided a while ago that was stupid. I'll be going back more often since it's actually pretty cheap to go. The food and drinks are cheap , so all in all it was a good night. You can go there for about 10-15 dollars if you wanted too, not including travel costs. Which is relativley cheap(you can't spend that little at the gotham comedy club). The wierd thing was they have two seperate shows on weekdays( 9 and 11) but they don't seperate them, they just flow into eachother. Since the 11 show on a weekday is generally slow,i think you can stay for free because like i said,they don't seperate them. before stef and i knew it, we were two comedians deep into the 11 show. But no one bothered us because they need people to fill seats. It was a great night and i had alot of fun. Alot fo the comedians interected with us because stef and i were right in front. Which was cool. I really want to go again....comedy,i'm glad you are back into my life. I love you.

It's a little after 2:30 and on a day when i was able to get to bed at eleven and sleep in, all i can do is stay awake thinking about R.A. VUE. It's very early to be doing such a thing but a sense of excitment/terror has gone through my body as i wonder how it will all go. I want to make this one better than the rest and just as touching/memorable, but i hope that my lack of experience will not work against me too much, since i haven't been a part of the directing team in years past. The good news is we know early who is doing what this time around so we can have a head start on the planning stages which should help alleviate the pain of being new.I'm also really excited about who i'm working with:Kendra,Chris,Monica, A.J. and Channelle are all people i trust and respect alot and i already see it as being a large team effort more than some crappy, disfunctional and disjointed director-assistant directors-choreographer type thing where we all go our seperate ways. I have my whole "Alice in wonderland" theme,which i have already pitched, but i don't want people to get the immpression that i won't deviate from that path at all. I know they will all have great suggestions, and who knows, it may be something completley different than i imagined so i can't wait to here what they think. All in all i'm psyched about the whole thing.
Speaking of stage time, i've been trying so hard to get back into stand-up. Stef got me a small journal to carry around and i made my first entry in it today,it was about dominoes pizza. After being away from it for so long it feels good to listen to and watch it again, and i still love it to death, it's just hard when you've been jaded and more importantly,it's hard when your confidence has been shaken. I feel like stand-up is the crazy on again/off again relationship i've never had, and now i know why people are so frusterated with those kinds of things. I think about it alot, but i know i can't dedicate the time i used to to do it. On the other side, i love it alot and i should make time for it if i love it so much. There is no excuses. slutever. It just makes me feel good to write again. Maybe i'll drop this whole UChicago P.H.D. thing and just do stand up,huh? Sure i'd be poor, but the question becomes...wouldn't i be much happier? Plus,i've been on a roll roasting people latley. I think it's because i've been listening to cringehumor.net comedians alot more again, which is great inspiration.
By the wya, if anyone wants to buy this for me that would ummm....be cool

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
