Well, lots o stuff to do back here in Maine before I depart for work. I have not really sat down and relaxed yet but this summer does not look like it's going to turn out that way. I have been getting a pantload of work done though. I even have a date tomorrow.....wow.....it's about time.....lol. I will write another one of these before I am off to sea!

| Last Weekend in Worcester Wonderland (and Boston) |
| 05.02.04 (7:18 pm) [edit] |
Well kids, it was my last weekend of the school year and I must say that it was not all that bad. Friday night I went to Boston to see Dillon, Renee and Omar for the final time. I am going to miss you guys! I showed up kind of late in the evening though but I still got a fine dose of rum…..haha. We walked to some mall at about 1 am and I had my first taste of Crispy Cream Donuts……mmmmm. Dillon and I had some serious Man Breakfast the next morning and then I departed Worcester.
Saturday night was fun and rather quiet also. I went out with my graduating buddies because it is probably the last time we will all be together. We went to some relatively lame party. It was three floors and there were kegs on two of the floors and bottles on one. It was the typical WPI-womanless party but that was ok because I just wanted to chill out with my buddies. I took advantage of the bottled beer and drank as many as possible (after all it was all micro-brew……mmmmmm.) Those were quickly exhausted, so I hit up the kegs……..wow…..they had some old-school taps on them and they were destroying the beer…….eww. My friends and I happened to find a porch that was spared from the masses of people and we hung out there for a while…….It was nice although we probably exceeded the porch’s 850 lb load limit…..hehe. After I made sure that I had maximized my 5 dollar investment (cover fee) and that ALL of the beer was gone, we departed. Some of us went to T-Sams and feasted……it was great. I came back and had a good conversation with a new friend via AIM until about 4 or so (while scrounging for boos in my sweet….haha.) Here’s a great picture of me wasted last night…..lol. And yes I have pants on……it was just really hot here…..

I went to the gym today and man was it especially skuzzy! When it gets humid, that gym gets really nasty. I’ll just say that my white shirt is very brown now……arg. Anyway…….I just realized that it has been about 4 months since Derek and I started our “Serious” program. I finished the last day of my programs’ cycle today and remembered that I had promised you guys some before and after shots…….I also took some measurements. I feel as though I have made some good progress. However, I would like to double my efforts this summer if possible.
My measurements today were as follows…….(I do not have any measurements from the start other than that my biceps were 13”)……………
Neck 17.5”
Chest 43.5”
Midsection (just below lats) 37”
Waist 32”
Left Arm 14.5” –Flexed 16” Right Arm 14.5” –Flexed 16”
Left Upper leg 23.5” Right Upper leg 23.75”
Left Calf 15.25” Right Calf 15.25”
So, no making fun of either set of photos!!!!!!
I know that I was in the worst shape of my life back in January!
This is just a comparison (way more for me than you) so be nice or just don’t say anything at all.

| More at the B |
| 04.29.04 (8:14 pm) [edit] |
So this week has been dull and kinda full of work but not really. I finished most of my work last friday but I still have a bit to fininsh. I went to the B tonight yet again to watch the Red Sox game and to get some dinner. It was Steve's b-day so I bought him a couple drinks at the bar while we waited for our table. Wow.......since the B remodled, it takes forever to get a table (1.5 hours.) That was ok though because I was perfectly happy drinking my uncarded Sammy Summer's at the bar while watching the game. We eventually moved to a table and Steve and I split a pitcher of Harpoon. MMMM.......burger meat.......Anyway, it was good and now here I am trying to get ready for my test tomorrow after a bunch o beers.......
I may go to Boston for a visit tomorrow and then return for my last Saturday night with my graduating buddies :(
BTW I was getting some looks from the hostess at the B.....should I return?
Night All.

| To the B |
| 04.25.04 (7:42 pm) [edit] |
I woke up pretty late today and went to the gym with Derek......I did not feel so hot because of last night but I made it through our work out. Later Jeremy, Mike, Tom and I went to the B for Dinner. It was nice to see those guys.....I have been gone quite a bit lately and they are all going to graduate so I am glad that I got some time to spend with them.
So I am continuing to make plans for this summer. It looks like I may be going to Norway (hopefully) instead of Antigua. I got an e-mail from Frans today also. He is willing to pay for my traevl expenses for my race of choice in Europe..........So let me know what you think.......Should I do the Middle Sea Race again (Malta, around Sicily, stromboli and so forth) or should I do the Round Ireland Race? Both are about 5 days.......we will see.
I hope to see you all as soon as school is done before I head to sea!!!
Night all.

We will see......................Did I mention that I hate school?

| A favor |
| 04.21.04 (4:58 pm) [edit] |
I know that I already made a post today but I need to make a request. I just got back from the gym and I am REALLY pissed off. I am pissed at myself and pretty much every person that walks by..... :evil: I don't know what made it happen; maybe deadlifts of squats or something angry in nature........But could you do me a favor? If you are a guy that has wronged me or pissed me off in any way at all in the past, could you please come over so that I can smash your face and remove your head?
Thanks :D

Well, all of my friends finished up MQPs yesterday so therefore a little celebration was in order. I had a bunch of work yesterday but I worked my ass off all day in order to get it done so that I could go out. I ended up finishing a paper while the guys were BBQing outside of my window. It's all in the name of beer. Anyway......we grilled vast amounts of mammal flesh and drank our beers.....haha.....all of this on the lawn of Founders hall. :lol:
It was nice to see my friends.....I haven't been around.....I was looking forward to hanging out with Mike but he dissapeared after we finished eating......I heard he was sick. :(
We went to a party Allan's place. There were a bunch of people that I didn't know there but I still had fun. I played root for a bit and talked to John, Jeremy and Walleed a lot. The cops came because some people were pissing off the porch. :roll: I was on the way out when they came......funny because I was the only one under 21 there.......I guess Alan went down to the station last night......hmmm. We headed over to another party with more people that I didn't know. I talked to some kid for a while.....my memory is a bit fuzzy......Then I went home all by my lonesome. I did some drunk IMing and went to sleep. I have grown to hate being alone all the time. It really sucks. And it's just going to get worse when I go and work this summer because I won't have school-work to distract me. Any suggestions? Haha.
Well, that's all for now. I have mound of crap to do that would rival Boston's City Dump.

| More piracy in Boston |
| 04.19.04 (1:16 pm) [edit] |
Well, by now you all know that I usually don’t make posts on the weekend so……..yar…….
I ended up going to Boston on Friday night instead of staying in Worcester. I was going to go to the sewer party at TKE but I flipped a coin and Boston won. Aside from that, there is a total lack of common courtesy and communication (they say one thing and do another) from some of my friends in Worcester and that also swayed my decision to go. :evil:
I went to a party at some place down the street from Dillon and Omar’s. It was fun but Dillon and I lost pretty consistently at root…..oh well. We also played the standard game of asshole and so forth. I think that we got back at around 3 or so but the jungle juice had gotten to me.
Saturday was very interesting. I was going to bring Dillon to work and on the way over my jeep started leaking antifreeze all over the road……Someone next to us at a light let me know and I happened to be able to pull right into a parking spot in front of Cottonwood (across from Fire and Ice off of Huntington Ave.) I knew exactly what was wrong……the lower radiator hose had slipped off. It was a simple problem but there is a skid plate that is in the way of access to it. It was a really funny scene…….Now keep in mind that Cottonwood is a very nice restaurant………Dillon and I jumped out of the car and I took off my long-sleeve shirt so that I would not destroy it (I had another shirt on underneath it.) I climbed under my car and saw what the problem was…….I needed a socket set (15mm) with a 10” extension to get my skid plate off to gain access to it. I guess someone was watching after me that day because there was an abundance of nice and willing people to help me out. There was a couple standing just inside Cottonwood’s front gate watching me. The girl offered to go to her jeep and get her set of sockets…….she wasn’t sure if she had an extension though. Upon her return we discovered that she didn’t. She asked if I had AAA and I didn’t so she offered to let me use her card. Strangely enough she got in my car (to get out of the wind to make a call) and contacted AAA for me and told them to send a tow truck. My hope was that the driver would have tools like and normal tow truck………Meanwhile, her boyfriend went and bought me a beer. :P
Funny scene………….The majority of the waiters at Cottonwood happen to be gay. I had asked one of them earlier if they had a socket set……..Later as I was standing with the couple that I spoke about before (Kristen and John) a waiter came out and started talking to us. Apparently John knows everyone in the restaurant very well (he works across the street.) The waiter was flamboyantly gay, but funny. He had heard that there were men taking there clothes off out front and working on their car. He said “those things only happen in soft porn and fantasies.” I laughed and agreed (in as straight a way as possible.) He then asked me what he had to do to get it to happen again (joking) and I replied that the tow truck guy was going to be here soon……haha. Kristen, John and I went into the restaurant and hit the bar while waiting for the tow truck. We had an interesting conversation and I learned about both of them. The tow truck showed up and they realized that they needed a flat-bed to tow my jeep because I have all-time 4WD and my jeep can not be flat-towed. It was going to take another hour to get a different truck to come…….arg. John and Kristen had to go to watch the Bruins game. The problem was that I needed the AAA card otherwise I was going to have to pay $100. Kristen gave me her number in case I needed anything. I called her and told her to cancel the tow-truck because I called Omar and he was on his way with tools. It took Omar a good hour and a half to get there because of traffic, but I was OK with that because of the Bruins game was on in the bar and I had a good flow of beers. I ended up talking to another nice couple for a while before Omar and Renee arrived. By that point I was almost tanked….haha. Anyway…….we removed the skid-plate and realized that we needed a hose clamp because the old one was worn out……….hence the problem. Omar and Renee headed to the Auto parts store to get some……..One of the waiters came out with a damp cloth for me to clean my hands off with. I threw on my over shirt again and cleaned up and was about to head back into the bar. However by now there was a private party (for a wedding) going on in front of the Cottonwood and here I was making a scene and dropping chunks of metal 10 feet away. Some of the members of the party called me over (after I cleaned up) and asked me what was wrong and if I needed anything (everyone was very nice.) I spoke to them for a while and met another sailor about my age. They made sure to give me a beer (not that I needed one.) Omar arrived and pulled me away from the reception. We promptly applied the hose clamp and filled the radiator with antifreeze. Problem solved………Omar was double-parked so he left right away. By this time I had been at Cottonwood since 4 pm and it was now 9 pm. I cleaned up again and went in to the restaurant and thanked everyone and congratulated the manager for having a great staff.
The moral of the story is:
1. There are nice people in Boston (lots of them)
2. Your car breaking down is not always bad (I had a great time)
3. Gay people are hilarious
:D
I got back and we all headed to the liquor store that Brad works at for some double-discounted boos. Dillon and I went for the traditional Capt. (handle.) We went back to the APT. and started playing cards. At that point I did not need anymore boos especially rum…….but hey…….I guess Dillon and I went to 711 really late and grabbed some food. For some reason I felt really crappy about things that night so I talked to Dillon for a while. I called Nikki……so my phone says…….I did not plan that…….Dillon took my phone earlier and took the battery out, but I am a convincing drunk. I don’t know if I talked to her but I hope that I didn’t (in that state.) Sorry Babe. :oops:
Sunday was leisurely. Dillon and I went to an Indian restaurant and had lunch……….the food was good. There were a lot of people walking around because of the marathon so it was interesting. Haha, I pulled the classic- leave the number on the receipt deal with the waitress……sad I know but she was cute and smiled a lot…….I am not expecting a call. . We headed over to the mall because I needed to get a pair of jeans. I went into polo and tried on a bunch but the new style sucks because they are too tight around my quads and too big around my waist (gotta love squats)……..bastards…..The old style fit fine…..arg. Dillon took me to Neiman Marcus and I found a pair that fit and were actually the most comfortable jeans that I have ever put on…..However, I can’t make fun of Dillon for buying $150 jeans anymore (the Polos were 90 anyway.) Fucking Boston markup…..gar. :shock:
Omar and I worked on our cars for a bit. I helped him put a strut-brace on his car and he helped me put my skid-plate back on my jeep. I stayed in Boston Sunday night because I didn’t have class until 2 pm today. We watched Star-fighter before I went to bed…….it was old-school and sweet.
Oh yeah……I accidentally burned some of Renee’s hair………….sorry. :roll:
Thanks again for having me guys!
Now I am back at WPI……..gar………lots of work this week……..Talk to you all later.

Today was productive yet boring. I renewed some European contacts as well as got in touch with some mates from my previous adventures over there. I had four group meetings today and did a lot of talking but not so much writing……hmmmm.
I am staying at WPI for the first weekend in a long time this weekend. I decided that I need to spend some time with my friends before they all graduate. There is a party on Saturday night so that should be fun. Friday night I am free (bored and alone)………give me a call……..anybody……..someone……….haha.
So Tolstoy says that God is within one’s self…….So if God is within me then why the hell is it so hard to control anything?

| Not Much Today Except Crap And Maybe The Last |
| 04.13.04 (9:24 pm) [edit] |
Today was another Tuesday of classes and boringness.
I went to the gym. I am baffled because I am still losing weight but I am gaining huge amounts of strength……I just don’t see where it is coming from.
Arg……..My life is so repetitive…….scrub, rinse, repeat. My winter life is in stark contrast to my summer life. There is no burning, nor pillaging…..ok…well not as much, but still……..winter sucks. I mostly miss sailing and all of the adventures that it entails. I can’t wait to go this summer. The plan right now is to leave for Antigua two days after school ends and do a rigging job for about two months on a schooner-yacht. The good part is that I get paid about $10,000 for a month and ¾ of work and I will be in the Caribbean; the bad part is that I will be working 12 hour days 80 or 90 feet in the air (hence the pay.) Anyway……..I will be back home by late June, just in time for peak season in Maine. I do not plan on working the rest of the summer (aside from the occasional yacht delivery) but I will be doing a lot of racing. I am going to do the Sparkman & Stephens 75th Anniversary Regatta which will start in Newport and end in Egg Reach. I will get some great contacts for business by networking during this series and also a little bit of cash (it is mostly for fun.) I do look forward to passing through the Cape, Martha’s Vineyard Region and being in Newport.
Anyway, there is a layout for my summer people. I am not sure if or how long I am going to continue this blog (mostly because I don’t think anyone reads it.) Also, I will be writing a real log while I am off to sea. If you really want to know what I am up to then call me!
Night All.

| What Weekend? |
| 04.12.04 (8:34 pm) [edit] |
My weekend was really short. I left WPI at about 7:00 pm or so on Friday after a short nap (I didn’t sleep on Thursday night.) I got Home at 11 and went to sleep. Fun Friday night huh? I had to get up at 7:00 am so that I could put a long-arm kit on my jeep.
I must say that my entirely new and different type of suspension is impressive both on and off-road. My jeep handles like one of those Baja Challenge trucks….it’s amazing on and off-road. Not only do I have about 3 feet of wheel travel off-road but on the road it is terrific too. I was going through Lowell on 495 (crappy road) at about 90 MPH going over huge potholes without even feeling them…The cars behind that had been following me for a long time almost went off the road. I can corner harder without lean along with the elimination of all of those annoying squeaks and rattles. I would not trade my grand for a hummer, wrangler or Navigator. Well there is my dirty hick stint of the day. :)
Sunday I slept in for the first time in a long time (10:30) but it didn’t feel like it. I ate Easter Dinner with my family and went to the gym. God I love the gym at home; it is so nice. I met someone from Belfast while I was there (digits)……………the only other person in the gym on Easter......haha. I was pleased because I am spending time in the area this summer and I don’t know too many people my own age.
After the gym I drove back to WPI and drooled over my new ride. Today I went to class, did work and went to the gym as usual.
Anybody notice that I didn’t drink at all this weekend? Well……..off to do some work so……later.

To Friday that is. I didn't post last night because the Tblog server was being homo-erotic. Not much happened today. I went to the gym as per usual. Anyway, tomorrow is a typical jam-packed friday. Only 1 test tomorrow so that makes it a bit more managable. I will be leaving for maine at around 6:30 or so I guess. I am not really sure about what I am doing with my friends yet. I may be caravaning with Omar and Renee. Also, I might have some-one from my class with me until Belgrade. It's all kinda up in the air.
Saturday is reserved for putting a long-arm kit on my jeep..........hopefully it will actually happen this time. Sunday will be easter and my Aunt and Uncle along with my Grandmother will be up at the French House. I guess this will be the first weekend without drinking in a long long time.........hmmmmm.......probibly good.
Anyway, lots of work to do so gotta go.....
I am dissapointed in you guys....no comments in the last three posts? Oh yeah and I put up some pretty funny pics from Boston in the last post.
I hope you had fun! :roll:

| Another Bloody Tuesday |
| 04.06.04 (7:07 pm) [edit] |
I had a test today so I studied all night (no sleep,) went to my 8:00 class which seemed to drag on forever. I did meet someone from Maine that was my partner in class. She does not have a car and is trying to get home in the Augusta area for Easter so I may be dropping her off this weekend and picking her up on the way back. I am such a nice boy..............haha. Anyway, After that I took a power nap before my test. The test took almost the whole two hours......arg. I went back to my room and slept from 2 to 6 pm............it was great. I hit the gym with Derek and did really well (even making some improvements.) I was suprised because I only had something like 4 hours of sleep in the last 30 or so.
And now here I am.....wednesday night and no class tomorrow. I have a considerable amount of work to do during the day tomorrow again but I feel as though I deserve to relax tonight. Therefore, I shall.....haha..........come bug me if you are bored (or have beer.)
I added on to yesterday's entry FYI. I also have posted a bunch of pics that Dillon sent me from this last weekend.......... http://img39.photobucket.com/...%204-3-04/

| A Weekend in Bean-town |
| 04.05.04 (11:04 pm) [edit] |
OK people….Sorry about the delay in the posts, nevertheless I have been very busy. As you all know, I made my trek to Boston. A very interesting voyage I must say. I truly had a great time although my memories are a little fuzzy. And the odyssey begins…………
Friday after a long and arduous day of classes, I strained myself to go to the gym. I made it and then cleaned myself up and departed for Bean-town. Even though I left Worcester at 7 pm or so the traffic was not too bad. I was greeted by Omar and Renee (I really missed those guys.) This time I found some ticketless parking spaces……Yay! Dillon was going to be at work until 11:30 pm so Omar, Renee and I set out to grab some serious hot dogs……..at ………um………insert name of place here……..Anyway, they were good. We then met up with Brad and his lady-friend and hit the liquor store. From there we went to a party at (insert kids name here) and started consuming. Omar and I played a game of pong (Omar was really good at “fine-tuning”.) The games progressed to flip-cup and my brain digressed from that point on……haha. There were a lot of nice people at that place…I really enjoyed my time there that night….No-one there seems to constantly analyze and challenge your intellect…….cough cough…..People were just trying to have a good time; the way it should be. I ended up outside toward the end of the night chatting with Renee. My phone rang and low and behold, Moorgan was on the other end. She explained that she was going to be in Boston on Saturday night and wondered if I was going to be around……I don’t really remember the conversation……nor did I the next day until it was very late. After I got off the phone, I saw that some guys were beat-boxing outside a couple of apartments down from us…..They started to walk back inside and in my drunken stupor I screamed “hey, come back you guys are good!!” We walked over (Omar and I) and talked to them for a while and listened to their beats……haha I play a very convincing drunk and I guess I had presented myself as being capable of carrying a beat…..haha…….when it came to me I declined but I was flattered that they thought this white boy could rap……haha. On the trek home, I guess that the ship was in a storm and the deck was moving violently because I failed to make it over a pretty un-impressive fence. Yes, I took a full dive however, I did not spill a drop of beer nor did I rip any clothing…..only a little blood…..Haha. We arrived home and continued to drink……I passed out I guess.
Saturday……..well I slept a lot. I woke up to discover that I had fallen asleep with my beer……a sad substitute for a lovely wench….gar. Anyway, Saturday night Dillon and I went to the liquor store that Brad works at and went into the cooler in back to help “stock.” Actually, we were there to have the unlimited choice, type and/or selection of alcohol. It was great………never have I seen so much beer……..and coming from me that is very SERIOUS. It was great…..we did stock the shelves as the customers emptied the racks (it was really busy.) It was strange to look out and see the customers from behind the racks while they could not see us. We progressed to a mixture of shots and a plethora of beers. More people piled into the cooler as the night moved on…..Party in the cooler………yay! The store closed and we moved into the actual floorspace of the store. There were actually quite a few people there….haha. We looked on as desperate people pounded on the locked doors of the store in order to procure some boos for their evening. From the liquor store, Dillon, Brad, Brad’s wench and I returned to Dillon’s to attend a supposed Kurt Cobain party…….Omar and Renee were unfortunately by their lonesome. We downed some shots and some beers and moved to a party next door at the Columbians. It was really crowded and hot so we did not stay too long. I was carrying something like 12 beers in my jacket and some-how came home without any…….hmm…….We then traveled over to the Baseball house……a pseudo frat (imagine how happy I was that it was not a real frat…….god I dislike some of those establishments……gar.) We played some pong if I can remember correctly…..then some flip-cup……we dominated…..haha. From there things got really blurry. I think we met up with some of Renee’s friends and went to a 711 for some food……then we went to their apt…..I think…….after a bit there, Omar Renee and I returned home…..to give you an idea of my condition, it was 8:00 am and I had been drinking since 9:00 pm…..haha…..
I awoke at about 3:00 pm and my voice was almost non-existent….I also had some fucked up dreams…..Omar, Renee and I sat and watched Gulliver’s Travels for most of the day and ate some Domino’s. Haha…..I ended up staying there for an extra night and leaving Boston today. Not much happened today other than me going to the gym…..and doing a pant-load of work.
Nikki’s Grandfather passed away and she wrote to me to let me know. She is OK. I still felt bad so I offered to stop by if she needed some-one to talk to no-strings-attached. I probably should not have said that. I didn’t want her to think that I was just trying to see her. I really just wanted to make sure she was OK and let her know that if she needed me that I would be there. I can never say what I want when I should…..gar.
I posted a bunch of pictures in photo bucket from a bunch o parties……as far back as new years…..check em out…….I will post the ones from this weekend as soon as Dillon sends them to me………….back to work………night Babe…..Feel better.

Today has been filled with Financial Management cases and calculations of net working capital and after tax net interest payments......sound like fun? Hmmmm.....I still have a crap load of work tonight, so I will be up for most of it. Oh well, it's friday tomorrow so that means sleep, right?
Odd dream last night........I was in a fight with some random guy and I was punching him in the face......The really odd thing was that bits of his skin were sticking to my fists.......and the whole time I was saying "you deserved it" and "that's what you get, you bitch".........Yeah so I guess I have a few issues with someone?....You tell me.
On a happier note; I had another good day in the gym......nothing too exciting.......however on the way back I was so pumped up that I cleaved some random person with my cutlass and stole all of his dabloons (there you go Mike.......better?)....JK.
Tomorrow I have class from 8 to 3. After I get done at the gym I am heading out to Boston to visit Dillon for the weekend (yes....more pillaging and burning.) I still have to do work while I am there on Saturday.....arg...
It might be Sunday night by the time I make my next post so have a good weekend everyone........back to financial calculations....yay!
Good Night All

I am trying to wrap up too many things for too many classes......hence this will be a short post. Not much happened today anyway.
I had a great day in the gym again......I am still eating a lot and losing or at least maintaining weight each day........geez. When I say a lot, I mean at least 8000-9000 calories a day including about 200 grams of protien. I am still making gains in strength too.....I upped my last set of deadlifts to 315lbsx6 today and that is after I did legs......to give you an idea; a month ago I was doing about 275lbsx5 on my 4th set and that was before legs......I think my supplements love my new training style. Hopefully I can make this kind of progress until the end of the year.
Other than that, I did a ton o class work and then got some groceries. Nothing too exciting. I have been contacting some associates in the yacht world for jobs this summer as well as an internship with Sparkmen & Stephens in NYC next year for my IQP.
Anyway, gotta run so.....night everybody.

| A Long Weekend of Piracy |
| 03.30.04 (6:28 pm) [edit] |
Sorry about the long delay between posts guys……..I have had a very full weekend.
I started on Friday by waking up at 4:00 am to finish writing a paper for Organizational science (my brain just couldn’t take it anymore on Thursday night.) So I went to my first two hour class at 8 am and then ran to the gym at 10 am with Derek…….I had to be back for my 12:00 class so we had to rush things. I went to my 12-2 and then my 2-3. I was kind of upset about the test that I had in macroeconomics. The Professor assigns 50 questions on about 300-400 pages of economic news article per week. Now I don’t have a problem with that because I find this stuff interesting, however, the test he gave us over the info was only three questions that took about 15 minutes……..in other words, a lot of work to accomplish a little. I did well though, so I can’t complain too much.
I finished my macro test early, so I had time to run back to the dorm and take a shower and throw my stuff in a bag. Derek helped me bring my crap out to my jeep because he was running over to WOW so that we could cancel our membership. I ran D back to the dorms and began my travel to Andover to pick up Dillon. Dillon’s train was on time and we set off for Maine. I didn’t stop and say “hi” to my Aunt and Uncle that live about two blocks from the station. (I feel bad.)We stopped at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store……..God that place is awesome ($15 Handles of Goslings Black Special Ed.)……..Dillon and I loaded up and set off for Pittsfield (makings for car-bombs, vodka, rum and so forth.)
We arrived in p-town and I visited with Dillon’s parents for a while….A gin and tonic later, Russ showed up and we departed from Dillon to give him some time with his family. Russ and I went to Mike’s and Aaron’s to recruit them and did so. After a while we went back to pick up Dillon. Mike, Russ, Dillon and I departed opting to skip the shady bars of P-town and head directly for Belfast.
Upon arrival in Belfast, we hit a bar near the waterfront that was seemingly packed (it was.) I was very surprised; the place even had two bouncers, a packed dance floor and a busy bar (keep in mind that this is Belfast in the winter.) When Russ moves down to Sandy Point this summer (for work) I can foresee some fun times at this place. Anyway, I had no trouble getting in (I’m the only one that is not 21) but the other guys, however, got carded (go figure.) The boys consumed heavily………………………….
We wanted to see what other facilities the town had to offer, so we went up the street to another bar that was a bit quieter. It did have a big-screen plasma TV which pleased Mike because he was watching b-ball. There were a bunch of really belligerent drunks on the way in but we reframed from a brawl even after being spat at by one of them……….I guess we were a bit too threatening for their taste. Anyway, Dillon and Russ hit the drinks again…………….Russ some how managed to get a free shirt and hat from the bar tender (pretty sweet ones too.) Oh, yeah…….we saw Bob there too….haha.
At about 12:30 or so, we left Belfast to travel to Sandy Point. Aaron and Maria were on the way and we had to beat them there. We arrived and went up to the French House to consume……….at about 4:00 I finally went to bed.
I awoke at 8:00 and went to Marc’s Garage to fix the rear suspension of my jeep (which ended up taking most of the day.) I did however manage to get to Belfast and have lunch with my Dad. I was going to try to go to the gym at 4 but I was exhausted and took a pre-party nap until about 7:30.
I woke up and took a shower and wandered up to the French House. By this time, Mike’s new girlfriend had arrived. I am so proud of Mike…..he finally found a nice girl. He has always had really bad luck with women. Also, Josh and his girlfriend from England (Victoria…..haha) arrived. I started to grill the piles of mammal flesh and consume some serious grog……..Three drinks and several pounds of beef later…..Russ and I play a pre-emptive game of pong and then everyone joins in a game of flip-cup…….Did I say a game? I meant eight. Let’s just say everyone was very full, very drunk and very happy. I guess eventually (I don’t remember) Russ, Dillon and I departed for the evening to go down to the other house. Yes, folks, I fell in a pile of peat-moss on the way there (I guess.) I also mumbled some random things to Russ and Dillon and sprinted off into the darkness…..
When I woke up; I was still drunk, but there was man breakfast to be made. Everyone was cooking something. We had scrabbled eggs with bacon, sausage, onion, peppers, hash browns, coffee and English muffins……The whole deal…..mmmmmmmm.
After breakfast some of us went for a walk……..it was beautiful out-side………god Mass is an ugly-assed state compared to Maine. When we got back we did some cleaning and then went up to sit on the 2nd floor porch…..There we sat for about three hours basking in the sun and listening to Russ play the guitar……it was great. Some of the guys had their shirts off and I even got a tan (in Maine in March.) After the last load of laundry was done we all said goodbye and departed.
Dillon and I met Russ in Augusta because he forgot his bag, but other than that, the trip back was rather uneventful. Except some crazy guy that was trying to kill everyone around him on 95…..Never have I seen anybody trying to piss off everybody on the highway. Can you believe that I didn’t got into a fit of rage and crush his girly car into pieces? I actually got off the highway and took a break to get away from him (impressed?)
I stayed in Boston on Sunday night and Dillon and I finished up the vodka we had left. We hung out for a bit and chatted with Omar. It seems that I am going to Boston on Friday night for a theme party at their place…..yay!!
I left B-town yesterday (parking ticket and all) and went to my only class on Monday (2:00.) Wow, I have a ton of work this week. As for today, it was rather uneventful and a typical Tuesday (full.) God, I am eating so much now. Derek and I upped our training and intensity a huge amount. I am eating like 6 or 7 huge meals a day and tons of protein and still loosing weight……I am lifting more weight so I’d assume that it’s fat (I hope.)
As for that girl; I still miss her……And I hear that she’s really sick…..no fun…There was a lot of stuff at home that reminded me of her and being in Boston is strange for me because I am used to seeing her when I am there…….Oh well…..Not much to do other than to move on…..She still should send me that address that I asked for last week.
Feel better Babe………Night
Here are some pictures…..Sorry about the quality…..I was wasted…..more to come soon too………

Today was rather uneventful. I went to Macro....then to the gym (better day today).....then started homework. I am going to bed soon and waking up early to finish it.
Tomorrow is another story. I am going to get up at 4 am and finish my work and go to class from 8 to 10 am. Then I am hauling ass over to the Gym with derek. From there I am going straight back to class from 12:00 to 3:00 (including a test.) As soon as that is done, I am putting my stuff together to leave for Maine but not before Derek and I cancel our gym membership.......Next I shuttle over to Andover to meet Dillon at the station at 5 pm. Then, we drive to Pittsfield, I drop off Dillon for an hour and meet Russ. We go bar hopping in p-town for a while and then drive to Belfast and meet Mike (he will be in Rockland tomorrow.) We bar-hop in Belfast for a while and then finally we head home to Sandy Point.....Then I get to wake up early and work on my jeep while the other guys sleep.....then eventually drag them to the gym. I will really need thier help setting up everything for the party too, so it's good that they will be there.......then PARTY.
Needless to say, I probibly will not have time to post tomorrow or Saturday. I will fill you all in on Monday with a good one and some party pics........
Night Babe and have a good weekend....too bad you won't be there......I will say hi to everyone for you.

| Sleep and other stuff.....kinda |
| 03.24.04 (7:52 pm) [edit] |
Today I got some recovery sleep. I woke up for a while and worked on my German and then went back to sleep. I was up late last night watching Kill Bill (much needed.....it was a long day.) Wow, that movie is really bloody.
Last night I also sent those songs to Nikki (the ones that I talked about in my first blog.) I upset her, but I think that they said some things that I did not tell her that I should have. I still miss her a lot and wonder how everything is going for her. I'm sure that I don't help her out too much when I remind her of me.
I went to the gym today, but I was not on the ball. I guess upward trends in performance can't continue forever. I think that our 3-3, six day per week split will work well though.
I talked to Dillon and Russ today and tried to figure some things out for this weekend. Nikki wanna go (haha) :wink: ? I'll be at Ballardvale station at around 5:30 or so on Friday to pick up Dillon. I am not sure what we are doing Friday night.....possibly bar-hopping in Belfast. We will see. However, I must reserve myself for rum-
Saturday is a planned night of burning and pillaging. Ye warned now to stay away from the village of Sandy Point, Maine (it is not for the faint-hearted.) The Pittsfield boys (Me, Mike, Russ, Dillon, Aaron) are all in one place and nothing but destruction and sweetness will come of it. Yes, we will romp and destroy in a mass of drunken fervor! And nothing will stop me from assassinating Russ in the eternal battle of Pong. The mammal flesh shall also burn (and maybe some chicken for the ladies).......Don't worry; I will try to get some pictures for you guys.
Side Note: Nudie broke man-rule #72 (the one that states that one man shall never send another man any kind of smiley face on AIM.) -The penalty for breaking said rule is that the offender shall be called Princess for a 24 hour period.
He also said that I should make this funnier......any suggestions?
C'mon people, comment on this stuff...........I want to get enough tbucks to make my site better.
