I now for days have felt depressed, hurt, disrespected and dissapointed. On top of overall fustration. But I am determined to keep my head up high and be strong. So other than moping around this weekend I visited grandparents and grandpa was actually emotional to me first time ever. And it was meaningful and good. And this weekend saw Frank and Ashley and we saw Kev and Kristi and their new house. Thats it for now.

So had a good, and crazy weekend. Good was spending the three day weekend with Vicky and Emily. I really feel good about her and I. And got to spend a good amount of time with just Emily, took her to the movies and dinner, was good times and really nice. I adore that kid. Also was glad was there to help out Vicky a lot, makes me feel good to help her out. I am going again tomorrow night after work and school, have off Thursday, and helping Vicky out again by watching Emily again. I am very much looking forward to it. So not going to Hershey this year, so that stinks, Grandpa is going away on a cruise with grandma instead, and then dad cant afford to go by himself, so not going this year, but hopefully will next year. So that’s about it for now.

So things are doing alright. This weekend didn’t do much. Kurt ended up not moving just yet, but prob will this week. Instead chilled with him, Juls and Frank on Saturday. Then Sunday was Adam’s 22nd Bday. Sunday I also went up to Conn. and spent the day with Vicky, and had a really nice day with her. Looking forward to seeing her a good amount this weekend hopefully. Kinda scary the summer is basically over. My first class of the semester starts today, and missing my second class on Wed cause of going to the Ducks game. Well can’t wait till I go to California should be good times.

So things have been alright. Dad went in to hospital yesterday but found out he was only 40 percent clogged in his arteries so could not do any stents just yet. But he is doing good. This past weekend was good. Friday night went to Moranos and chilled with him and Palladino. Then Saturday drove up to see Vicky, visited her at work had a hair cut, then did Chili’s and then just chilled out at her house. Was actually real nice, and can’t wait to see her hopefully this weekend. Then Sunday grandpa had a big car meet at his house which was real nice and fun. So in exactly one month I will be in California on vacation, can’t wait! School, starts in less than a week. Also next week I am going to a Ducks game in a luxury suite because I won another Newsday contest. I am brining the fam, get limo transportation there and I am throwing out the first pitch, with my skills should be funny as hell. So this weekend hopefully gonna see Vicky, and probably helping Kurt move into Jeff’s house. Well that’s it for now. Also Sunday is Adam’s Bday!

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:58:29 GMT

So things have been a little hectic. Dad went to cardiologist and he has blockage in his arteries again and before he has another heart attack this Monday he has to go in to the hospital and have more stents put in. So not good. Also I bought tickets for Mom and I to go to California in the end of September so that’s good. This Saturday night seeing Vicky, so looking forward to that, then Sunday is grandpa’s antique car picnic and meet at his house. So got a busy weekend. So am real happy seeing Vicky now. That’s it for now.

So yesterday into today I just feel depressed, can’t really put my finger on it. I just feel alone and that nothing has been going right lately. Oh well. So was a decent weekend. On Friday went to Moranos and chilled and drank with Morano, Anthony, Arial, Claire, Frank and Brigid who stopped over for a bit. It was fun. Then Saturday which was the 4th drove on the beach and barbequed and chilled most of the day with Maria, Willie, Morano and Claire. Then went back to my house went in the pool a little, drank some margaritas and watched fireworks in the neighborhood and shot off firecrackers with dad. Then Sunday chilled around the house didn’t do much at all, Kurt and Juls came over and went in the pool a little. That was about it. Now for a long work week. But Friday night going to Conn to visit Will for the weekend.

So things have been ok. Been fighting with fam a little, but what else is new. Friday night did nothing really. Saturday mom and I visited Maria and Willie and went to Coney Island. It was fun, I rode the cyclone for the first time it was awesome. Before we went to Brooklyn, we visited grandma and grandpa and they looked and seemed good. Then Sunday we opened up the pool finally and should be ready soon, and I went to visit Frank where he was bartending and that was pretty much the day. So talked to Vicky a while last night, which was really nice. Hopefully will see her this weekend, and if not probably the weekend after, because that weekend I will be visiting Will and Vee and going to Sail Fest in New London, CT. So hope the 4th will be fun, prob gonna do the beach, or maybe chill by the pool, we will see.

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:52:52 GMT

So don’t know where to begin. This past weekend was alright, Friday night chill with Kurt and played Magic and watched the Yankee Met game. Then Saturday was moms bday hung out with her, Adam and Claire all day. Visited the grandparents and then me and Claire did dinner and watched a movie then went to Moranos and chilled. Then the next day played Rock Band with Maria and Claire then visited Frank where he was bartending by the water in Patchogue. Basically the weekend. Now this weekend going down to North Carolina for cousin Kristin’s Wedding. We are driving down Thurs, be back Monday. On the way down we are staying with dads friend Bill, hopefully I will see his daughter Lena. Then the way back staying with mom’s cousin Jacky. So hopefully will be a good time. Nothing is really goin on, just normal family fighting and drama. Also still talking to Vicky a lot, but not sure whats goin on as of now, care about her a lot, and wanna see what will happen this around, probably just friends, and I am cool with that, and would like that, but am open for more. Also still talking to Mandy, we have been fighting a lot, but I care about her so much, but just sucks that it probably would never work in a million years, but may see her a week from Friday, just for dinner and talk, which may be nice, but who knows, not holding my breathe. I need to meet new girls, need to go out and go on more dates and expand my horizons, I truly do.

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:05:14 GMT

So was a fun weekend, but ended horribly and now feel sick and awful and am depressed. Thursday night me and Frank went with Kurt and his friends out to dinner for his bday. Friday night hung out with Stan, Kurt and Juls. Then Sat went to beach with Claire, then at night hung out with Lisa who I work with and her friends Tari and Kelly which was fun. Then yesterday did beach and boogie boarding with Mike, Sarah and Morano, came home and watched race. Then last night got into a huge fight with Adam and Nelson, in turn my parents, and just a crap mess. And today thing I have sun poising and just threw up. I also just feel terribly alone and depressed about it, and feel I am a crappy person, and not someone anyone should respect or desire to be with.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:41:03 GMT

So things are ok I guess. This past weekend had a good time. Friday night chilled with Stan and my brother. Then Saturday went to Brooklyn, drove in and brought Maria and Willie to Ikea to get stuff for their new apartment. Which is a nice place, a decent neighborhood, and easy to drive to and park, so that’s a plus. Then at night went out to eat for Thai Food, then got drinks at a bar in lower Manhattan. Then came back got snacks and chilled. Then next day me and Maria did breakfast I drove home, then vegged out and watched NASCAR. Then Monday I went and brought Lisa who I work with me to see an advanced screening of The Hangover and it was amazingly funny and had Chipotle. But now am trying to be hardcore on a diet. So nothing else new other than been fighting with Mandy lately, I am gonna get over, but stay friends with her, cause things are now in perspective of what it really was. Now this week got nothing goin on, tomorrow is Kurts bday, then this weekend wanna try and see Kurt and Frank and Claire comes home for 9 weeks this weekend too, so maybe see her. Wanna also do the beach. So hopefully it will be a good rest of the week and a good weekend. 2 more weeks then I go to North Carolina for my cousin Kristin’s wedding!
