??????

A female friend that I have known now for about 5 years is having a
problem. She instant messge me through Yahoo, told me to call her, so I
did. She has been in this relationship with this guy for 2 years and he
treats her like shit. Fighting, cops coming to the house, the whole 9
yards. She asked me what she should do? I told her to end it but she
says he won't leave. Told her to start sleeping on the couch, he should
get the message then. She says she tried, but..... she horney all the
time, and she uses him for sex only. Okaaaaaaay?? So he beats up on you,
but you fuck him in the long run? I don't understand that shit. She told
me that she wishes he could be like me, in what way I ask. Like, she
only wants him around when she feels like having sex. So tell him that.
She says she did, but he has no where to go, he would be homeless. Well,
in order to make an omlett, you have to break some eggs I say. So she
wants to come and see me not this saturday, but the next one. I told her
I will not be invlved with her in any way if she still goes home to this
guy. You're not using me in that way because I don't want the hassle or
the problems you bring to me. So in the next 2 weeeks she says, she's
gonna kick him out. I will see.

Another Thought

I was just thinking about something, thought I would just put it out
there too. How come there aren't any REALLY good tech magazines. Good
enough with useful shit that the average person can use. Like the best
'free' anti virus to download. I mean there are some nice magazines out
there. I use to have a subscription to Wired Magazine, but somewhere
along the way they 'jumoped the shark' so to speak. Its probably just
me, but I crave..no, I need information. I have the NEED to
know...EVERYTHING !! Well not everything, but what most people don't
know, or want to know. It soeant even have to be technology drive, jsut
things that you would like to know everyday.

I was also 'buying' the thursday's NY Times just for the technology
section, and then they went achanged up on me. Like I really need to
know about the new 800 dollar camera that's on the market or soon to
be.

Another thing, Vista, what the fuck was that operating system was all
about. A friend of mine has it installed a a brand new laptop she
purchased from Dell. Its not Dell's falt that that OS is a piece of
shit. My go to OS was Win98SE, ah, those were the days. I'm using XP
now, but I did something crazy. Its like I'm bi racial with computers, I
purchase a Mac(s).

One is an EMac, remember those big ass eye sores? Well I have one
sitting in my closet just waiting for a 'real' computer deskto place it
on. Oh no milk crates for this 2 ton monster. I also have a PowerBook G4
which I'm having more fun that's allowed with. Note: pc software does
not work on Macs. So searching for the programs Mac base...are oh soooo
much fun. But I have the PB G4 hooked up the way I want it.

My brother gave my mother a Mac. Many question marks to
follow...??????????? Yep he did. So her HP, flat screen is just sitting
there whispering to me. She went from 400 to 200 dollars, she is gonna
sell it to me. Why do I need it? Cause I want to put my Acer Aspire One
Notebook in the closet, that's why. But I need a computer desk...hint,
hint, Christmas.

Paranormal Activity...

I downloaded the movie, and I watched it last night..alone. It
everything that they are talking about, its freakin' scary as hell. At
first it gets a littkle slow, but quickly it builds up to speed. For it
to be have made with such a little budget, about $15K, and with the
total of 6 or 7 on screen actors, add in that they are ALL unknowns.
This is the best scary picture of the year. Yeah I know, Blair Witch
Project, that to me was a total let down, but that movie grossed ove 245
million dollars world wide. This movie, is going in that direction but
further. Watch it at night and alone for the best effect. Which brings
me to this.....

Paranormal activity has been around for a long time. My first brush with
it was in the late 70's, remember the Floating Bible and The Floating
Cross, let me bring you back. In certain areas in The South Bronx, one
was on the corner of Union ave @7 169th street, the other was on Hoe
ave, there was this sighting of crosses and bibles. The one on 169th
street was on the 5th floor, the bathroom window that faced out to the
street. The one on Hoe ave, was also in a bathroom. Wonder why it was
bathrooms only, anyway...

You know how bathroom windows are, opque, right. Well from inside the
bathroom, when a light is shining from the outside or inside the
bathroom looking out, you would see this sighting with the window
closed. Let me try to discribe to you what the sighting is.

This is kind of hard to exp,lain, but picture this, with the window
closed. First you see nothing, then an outline of a book appears. Its
first pink, then blue and pink again. Then finally its blue. Its kind of
flashing in a way, but staying constantly a baby blueish color. Next,
starting in the upper righthand corner, a cross appears, then another
one. Sometimes its 2, then somestimes its 3. The crosses start
flickering also, and like hopping around the book, the bible. Its
strange, right.

One of my friends told me that he has an aunt that has them in her
bathroom on Hoe ave. I snuck out of the house at night to go see it. Her
abthroom was being use for her dog who just gave birth to puppies, but
she moved them out so we can see. She told us whatever we do, don't open
the window. She left us alone when she open the bathroom door. Seconds
past, the bible appeared and then the crosses. A strange weird feeling
came over me, hard to describe too. My friend look to make sure his aunt
wasn't at the door, and he opened the bathroom window. Nothing wqas
outside the window except the courtyard. He then stuck his hand out the
window. What happened next, scared the holy shit out of me. Picture
this.

From the tip of his right hand to the second knuckles was nothing but
bones !!! Its was as if his flesh melted off and all you saw was the
skelton of his hand up to that point. I ran out of the apartment right
behind him. He went left, and I ran right, all the way home non stop.
Snuck back inside and never mentioned anything to my family or
friends....ever.

The legend or whatever is this. When all The Bible and Crosses in the
windows disappear, the world will come to an end. That's what was going
around then. I never did see my friend again, don't know what happened
to him either.

Another thing that use to happened to me was this. As I was laying in
bed, facing the window, on the top bunk of a bunk bed, I sue to see
these lights at night. I could never figure out what they were. They
were so far away, but they would get brighter and brighter, then dim,
and dimmer. I was again scared shitless cause I didn't know what it was.
I was about 8 or 9 years old. Not until sometime around when I was 35
years old, I figyred out what it was..... an airplane !!! It was
approach the airport, Laquadia.

Around 1988 or so, I was up in the Parkchester area, alte at night
during the summertime. I was walking and I was looking up through the
trees. All of a sudden this black trianlguar...whatever appeared with
blinking lights. No noise or anything. There was no one else around, so
I could say, hey look. I followed it for a while looking up until I
couldn't see it anymore, for about a half a block.

So, some strange things are happening all around us. Those were my 2
instances.

Am I distined To Be Single ALL My Life.

She, I don't know her name, wait, I do, but can't pronounce it right
now. She asked me did I find her yet. I told her no. In another convo,
with a different person, I said...'I work hard, and I play hard' I hope
this woman can read between the lines.

As stated before, I'm not afraid of a relationship slash commitment, its
just that I don't have the time. I'm serious about that too. From my
experinces, I would miss out on certain things with a relationship,
meaning sex, great sex. Once you move in together, I see, that sex
stops. Sex plays a BIG part in a realtionship to me.

So, am I always gonna be single, well......

I Know What I Said, But...

First things s first. T-Mobile...enough said. On to other agendas. One of my friends came by work yesterday, and we had a little talk. It seems that she is now single... again after 10 years. Thats what she told me, "again" She didn't get into why, and the what, but I know its bothering her. How I know? She gave me the "I'm gonna do me" talk. Hello, everyday we wake up we are doing ourselves, thats what I said, but not to her. She told me that she has to have 6 months to get herself together. 6 months of NOT dating, or going out with some one. WTF is that all about. Let me see if I have this staright, with what she said. Soooo, if you aren't doing what I ask you to do, and you are making me unhappy... I don't want a relationship with you any more. If you are not giving me what I want, when I want it, I don't want a relationship with you any more. Is that what she is saying. On top of all of that, I'm gonna take 6 months off to do me. In other words, I'm taking 6 months to find me that person who IS gonna do the things I want them to do. Is that what she saying? Or, is it that she was so hurt by this breakup, that she needs time to recover. But thats not the impression that I got though. Thsi warrants more investigation.

I have had my share of GF's, and I'm still friends with them, thats if we stay in touch. I'm in touch with a bout 5 of them by email cause they live outside of NY. I have one ex that lives in White Plains, NY and almost every weekend I go and see her, spend a night at her house. I sleep on the floor in a blow up bed. We are close friends and sometimes we are REALLY close friends, but that left up to her. She likes when I come and visit her, we do nothing but look at tv and eat food and joke on each other. She is my best friend. She has her life to live and I have mine, which brings me to this....

My friend who just broke up her 10 year relationship, I know what she is feeling, going through. You get use to havings things in their place, and then some one moves them, and it throws your off. Thats what breakups are all about, that body isn't there to keep your universe in its right order, so everything is off. There is nothing wrong with having "Friends" Friends serve their purpose ya know. You can have a shopping, drinking, some one to cry on their shoulder...type friends. You can also have friends that you ...lets say.. get naked around, thats entirely all up to you. Don't deny yourself of what you want, what you miss, for 6 months, because some one else says things aren't the way things suppose to be. Of course that my opinion, but hey, what do I know. Im just the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

TMobile still actin' funny, no email and 'G' comes and goes. Can't say what I want in 160 characters, so I will say little, but..T-Moble u STILL SUCK !!

Nope not texting, only so many characters allowed, 20th in line with tmobile now

The only problem is, I can't add a title to the blog... wait, the wheels are turning, lets see this. Just Another Test 3 T-Mobile is NOT gettin' a Chr

Ok, now I can text to my Blog, since T-Mobile email is actin like a lil' bitch now

Test again

WTF ??!!

This weekend that just past, T-Mobile had had some problems. Though most of them are cleared up, they still have a major problem with me.

I know you always hear,"always back up your data" You would never think that that also ment your cellphone addresses, contacts. I figured, that if I don't lose my cell phone, or SideKick, that the provider will always be there, be there having my contacts stored. I spoke about this before with friends. I spoke about if you lose your cellphone, all your contacts will be lost forever, caus who ever writes them down, huh ? The, T-Mobile had a GLOBAL BLACOUT !!

The whole past weekend, was havoc, I thought I was going to go crazy. I was able to text, but that was just it. Im online now, ad i'm number 83 in line with support Live Chat. Not too bad, yesterday I was number 210.
