Monday night I found out my Italian Professor teaches karate.  He told us a story of when he was in Spain, someone stole his backpack.  He hunted the guy down and got into a knife fight with him.  Crazy spaniards.  Tuesday was ok.  I was an hour and a half late for class.  My car broke down and had to be taken to the mechanic.  I have to set up a still life for homework and draw 3 thumbnails, then draw 1 big composition of it.  I think I'm going to do that with Nicole, if there's time.  I was also hired at the Deer Park Public Library Tuesday.  I'm getting paid more then I ever did at Audiovox.  I start tomorrow (Friday), I'm working 1:30 - 4:30.  It should be pretty easy.  Wish me luck.  Wedensday, I picked up my car from the mechanic, it needed three belts.  Later, I went to starbucks with Nicole before class.  English class was awesome.  The English Professor is so different.  I have to write an essay about something illegal I did.  So I'm writing about when Nick, Rob, John, and I stole the Wendy's Men's bathroom sign.  I was the driver.  This is what I got so far...

It smelled of rotting flesh and French fries.  Chairs and tables left with trays filled with decomposing chicken, half eaten fries, and wrappers that used to contain a heart attack on a bun.  The floor was littered with the same vile garbage, plus whatever was brought into the place from someone’s shoe:  dirt, mud, dog feces, gum, and anything else you can think of.  The grease speckled windows almost fully encompassed us.  Giving everyone on the outside a clear view in.  This was our hangout, our “Max” from Saved by the Bell.  When we were at Wendy’s, we felt like gods.

How does it sound?  Whoa, changing colors.  I'm too lazy to fix it.  Thursday, well I went to Nicole's to cheer her up.  I hope I cheered her up.  I think I did.  I'm pretty sure I did.  I was there for an hour and a half about.  I left and went out to dinner with my mom after that.  Then I went and picked Nicole up and we went to Starbucks.  There was this creepy dude there.  Nicole was sitting on my lap in the comfy chair next to the fireplace and this guy comes up and invades.  He barges right over and takes the other seat.  He said, "I hope I don't disturb your intemacy?  I won't stare."  I was thinking, "What the hell?  Who are you?  We're not being intemate, we're just talking."  (I spelled imtemate wrong, whatever).  He did ask to sit there, but he was so freaky, we didn't know what to say.  We just sat there and let him take over.  We quickly left.  What a freak!


I feel bad for Marisa right now.  I hope she's ok and that her Grandma is doing well.  I feel bad for a lot of people right now, not just Marisa.  And because of this, I've come to the realization that the world is one fucked up place.  The dissapation of religion in everyday society and the lack of fear children have for authority have really messed up the world.  They lack morals and the ideals of society.  I have to admit, the ideals for society suck, but you need something.  I hold on to my morals and ideals as best I can.  If I lose them, I fear I'll end up like my father.  I'll end up an asshole.  Speaking of my father.  I found out he lives in fucking Dix Hills.  The next fucking town over.  "Hi Dad!  Remember me?"  How long has it been?  20 fucking years?  I feel like my memory takes up space in his abusive head.  I hope my memory haunts him for the rest of his fucking life.  Fucking dead beat.  If I ever end up like that, I hope someone smacks me across the face and sets me straight.  Fucking asshole.  Sorry for the rambling...

This weekend was a crazy weekend.  Friday Nicole and I went to Huntington Village.  It was so cold we didn't want to walk to the bookstore.  So we walked to the movie theater that was there.  It was the crappiest movie theater I have ever seen.  So we left and went to Loew's in Stony Brook.  We saw Butterfly Affect for the two and a half time.  We went to Bennigan's after and I forgot I had Bennigan's coupons.  We could have gotten five dollars off the meal.  Saturday morning I had Modern European History with Professor West.  Old guy, wears a lot of clothes, has a dry personality, and smiles only when he talks about some aspect of history that he thinks is 'cool'.  When he walked into the classroom he opens up this little closet and pulls out a computer, a vcr, and a 72 inch big screen tv.  I don't know how all that stuff fit in this little closet.  After class I went to the mall with Nick and bought the all mighty SPONGE BOB METALLICA t-shirt and some other clothes.  I bought Nick a Pimp Chicken hat for his birthday.  On the way home Nina called and Nick and I ended up going to the mall again.  After the mall we went back to my house for a little while.  Then Nicole called and was ready to go get art supplies.  So I took everyone home and went to Micheal's to buy art supplies with Nicole.  Then we went and got Alison and went to Starbucks and then we ended up going to my house and playing Silent Hill 2.  Wow a lot of stuff happened in two days.  On Sunday, well it was super bowl sunday.  I woke up, went shopping, made some chili, and did some homework.  I was having people over for the super bowl.  I invited a bunch of my friends but they were all going to Ortiz's house.  Only Nicole came.  Let's just say she didn't get scared of my family and she said she liked the Chili.  Oh and she drew me the Metallica logo, ohhh yea.  Patriots beat the Panthers 32-29 with a last second field goal, it was close.  That's pretty much everything.  It's Monday and I've been pretty much doing homework all day, I have school in a couple hours.  Wow, what an exciting day.  Oh and its Nick and John's birthday.  Happy Fuckin' Birthday fools.  You both owe me money.

Yesterday I woke up to an unbelievable amount of snow.  After shoveling all afternoon, I went to class.  My english class (Freshman Composition) appears to be a very awesome class.  There seems to be a lot of work involved but the teacher is awesome.  He's well, "No Holds Barred."  The topic of essays can be vulgar and sexual.  Also, the book we have to read (Safe in Heaven Dead by Ligon) is so awesome.  I've read the first two chapters and so far, the main character dies in the first sentence of the book and he's hiring hookers in the second chapter.  What a way to start a story.  Well the only other thing that happened the last two days was I went to Nick's briefly, then to Starbucks with Nicole.  At Starbucks, Nick showed up and proceeded to moon me.  It was not Blacktastic!

Yesterday was a stressful day.  I signed up for my classes and started school.  I stopped home briefly in between to take a shower and go to Wendy's with Nicole.  I then ventured off to Italian.  The teacher is kind of nerdy but has a crazy personality.  He jumps around the room and has a short attention span.  Some girl was talking to him and he turned around and started drawing pictures on the board and then whistling.  It was a pretty cool class.  I think there's going to be a lot of work.  After school Nicole and I went to Starbucks and various stores around the area.  Today I woke up somewhat early, called Nicole (waking her up in the process), and went to the mall with her.  We just hung around and talked.  I bought a red tie.  I wonder when I'll be wearing that?  After the mall I went to school, Drawing I.  The professor is really nice and it seems like its going to be an awesome class.  He talked some and then made the class do a blind contour sketch of our hands and then a modified contour sketch.  I got out real early because no one had supplies yet, so now I'm here.  Speaking of supplies, I need a lot of stuff for this art class, a lot.  Anyways, signing off, I'm Joe and you're done reading my journal entry.  See you next time.

Today I planned to stay at home and lay around.  I had no plans.  That didn't work out when Nick and John showed up at my front door at 1:30 in the afternoon.  So I entertained my guests.  We played Halo for 5 hours.  Then Nina calls and says come over and watch a movie.  I didn't real want to go but Nick wanted to, so I let him drag me.  We didn't even watch a movie.  I was then forced to pick up Michelle and Sue, but it was ok because I got five dollars out of it.  I also got Michelle's Waldbaums badge when I picked her up.  I wonder what I should do with it.  Anyways, I guess I'm glad I got yanked out of the house, around 5 o'clock I would have probably been hyper and saying to myself, "I gotta get out of here!"  I had a family meeting tonight.  It appears that I have the option to go to Orlando, Florida at the end of June for a few days.  I don't know if I want to do it.  I'm not a big fan of flying and family vacations always turn out crappy in my family.  Last family vacation we went camping, Max and Tim ended up fighting the whole time.  Also, my mom doesn't pick the greatest vacation spots, but she still tries.  I guess that's it for now.  Rock n' Roll.

It's Sunday morning and I haven't updated this thing all weekend.  On Friday Nicole and I went to Huntington Village.  We went to Classy Coffee and had some damn good hot chocolate.  They had a two piece band come in, a guy and a girl.  They played a bunch of acoustic songs, mostly oldies.  The best song they played was Dust in the Wind by Kansas.  I briefly sung along.  After that we went for a walk to find the bookstore or some other random place, but it was too cold and we headed back to the car.  Then Nicole realized her purse was gone.  We looked everywhere.  We never found it.  After that disappointment we went to the movies and saw Butterfly Affect.  It was so good.  So good that tonight after seeing How to Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, Alison, Nicole, and I snuck into it and watched it again.  Anyways, Friday night was just so awesome, I don't know why it was awesomer then other nights, but it felt awesomer.  Is awesomer even a word?  Well, today before I went to the movies with Alison and Nicole, I signed up for school and I went to NYC with my mom.  We went to the Metropolitian Museum of Art.  It was cool.  Nicole and I will be going there one day when it gets warmer.  Also, I've developed an obsession with Orca by Wintersleep.  Download it.  That is all.

Not much happened yesterday.  I went to lunch with Nina.  I had the new philly cheese steak at McDonald's.  Warning!  Philly cheese steak appears larger then it really is.  Later on I found out Nicole failed her roadtest.  I am now her dedicated driving instructor.  No tomfoolery in this driving car.  We went out for a drive and some lady pulled out of 7-11 suddenly and stopped in the middle of the road.  We would have hit her if Nicole didn't think fast and hit the breaks.  The car screeched, the lady looked annoyed (even though it was her fault), and Nicole was traumatized.  After that we went to starbucks and hung out.

Today was cool.  My car is back on the road.  So I took Nicole driving.  Tomorrow is her road test and she's nervous.  She did pretty good.  There were no major problems.  When it started to get dark we headed towards Smithhaven.  Only, it was during rush hour, so it took awhile to get there.  Right now I'm sitting here listening to some music and drawing on yahoo.  Salamone pictures lol.

Yesterday I went to the mall with Nick, Marisa, and Nina.  Today, well today is my birthday, I'm 20.  Woopee.  I went to starbucks with Nicole this afternoon.  She got me a Metallica t-shirt and an A Perfect Circle t-shirt for my birthday.  Ohhhh yea.  Right now I'm waiting for the sausagefest to arrive.

Last night I went to Nicole's to hang out.  She was feeling ill and didn't want to go out.  We just watched some movies, House of 1000 Corpses and Jackass The Movie.  We then watched TV and played some Spiderman on PS2.  Doesn't sound like much, but it was fun.  When I left it was snowing.  Why am I plagued with so much snow?
