Dreams
I had some weird dreams in the 13.5 hours of sleep I got Sunday night slash Monday morning. I still remember some of them, but they were all weird and I’d rather not bother recounting them. There’s not much I could say about them either so it’d all seem like some weird garbage.
One Year Ago
A year from Monday was one of those terrible blog posts where I found an error in just about every...
After working five days this past week I now have...
Dreams
I had a weird dream about going to the bathroom. The dream was more about me sneaking around a church, and in this one little room was a weird toilet. Once I started going people walked by and could see me, but I had to just keep going. Yeah, weird.

For my dad’s birthday my brother and I took him out to dinner, which I still plan to do for him this year just not on his...

Dreams
I had another one where I was at work. It was late and busy, and in my dreams there are always problems and stuff going on that never happen in real life. I know I keep having work dreams because of all the work I’ve been doing lately, at least as opposed to how slow it was before that.

I had to shovel at the church twice this day, and both times it kept snowing while I...
Today at work I dealt to a guy who won a car on...
One Year Ago Today
This was the day I had my interview for poker dealer school, which was the first time I mentioned those new plans in my blog. I heard about the class from my friend Corey who now deals at the Bellagio in Vegas, and I said it was ironic that my plans would change on the day I came back from Rochester where I told all of them what my now-old plans were. This decision delayed our...
I just figured out the Seinfeld joke behind “The...
One Year Ago Today
This was the first Knicks game where Carmelo Anthony played. We played the Bucks, which was ironic since the last game that Carmelo played (as a Nugget) was also against the Bucks. I was so giddy with anticipation for this game and to see how Carmelo did, and thankfully we won.
Thoughts
I keep saying that although I’ve seen every episode of Seinfeld a million times, there...
Poker almost didn’t happen tonight but I’m glad...
One Year Ago Today
This was a day or two after the Knicks traded for Carmelo, and I watched the Nuggets game in hopes of seeing how our players did for them. But it was too early for them to start playing, so the Nuggets were without a lot of their players. I believe the Nuggets still did very well against the Grizzlies that night.
I also talked about TV ratings, and how I don’t think that...
I just watched Drive, and I highly recommend it if...
One Year Ago Today
I should really mention the movies I watched in this section because it’s good to remember what I’ve seen. Usually I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since seeing a movie. Last year I watched One Hour Photo starring Robin Williams, and I really liked it.
My Day
My dad called me around 12:30 which woke me up, and I was pretty confused. That got me up, which was earlier...
Today was an example of how the events of the day...
Dreams
I had some weird and kind of scary dreams, but they are pretty foggy now and I can’t remember them. One had something to do with the latest Batman movie, but there was a lot more that escapes me right now.
Oh, another one just came back to me. I had a dream where I was in the halls of some building that was like an old college, but the professors were all evil. I was showing the friend...
Words With Friends has really changed my life. I...
Dreams
I had a cool dream where I was at my grandma’s house in her back yard. I could see far across the horizon, and I saw a rocket launch. It looked awesome, and then I got to see another one launch. Some debris fell on the ground, and I was really excited because they were free souvenirs. They were thumb gloves (do those even exist?), some documents, and something else that I can’t...
Is it just me or does Presidents’ Day exist solely...
One Year Ago Today
I visited Rochester for the weekend, and I meant it to be the last visit before moving to California but that wasn’t the case. I was really in a social mood which rarely happens, but I wanted to spend time with my college friends for as much as I could that weekend. I didn’t care if we were just sitting and talking or went someplace and did something, but I just wanted to hang...
I picked up 3 more shifts next week to go from...
One Year Ago Today
I mentioned another one of my “movie pairs” that I often forget, although it was the first one I recognized. In case you don’t know or remember, movie pairs are two movies that came out in the same year and have very similar plots. Observe and Report and Paul Blart: Mall Cop are two good examples of a movie pair because they both are about mall security. I don’t think I’ve...
I like that TV shows are starting to bleep...
Dreams
I had a dream where I was at work kind of, and a friend of mine gave me a DVD set of a TV show. It was like it was his show as in he had something do to with making it, and it looked like it was called Walking Dead but it wasn’t really. I never watched the show but I said I’d take it, and a customer came over and looked at the DVDs with a lot of interest. So I said he could have them...
I finally changed my iPhone wallpaper to a pic of...
One Year Ago Today
It was pretty warm on this day, and it allowed me to get rid of some ice at the church. There was a big thick sheet of ice covering the area next to the driveway, and it was hard work digging it all up but it was a little fun too.
My Day
I slept in until 3pm today, and I decided I should get a haircut now and not put it off anymore. I heard kids outside and that motivated me...
Last night I spent like 30 minutes looking up...
One Year Ago Today
I put up a separate post which contained my feelings from my first Valentine’s Day at college. Basically I ranted about how I didn’t like that we were “required” to make valentines for everyone on our floor, so I chose not to do them. But I got some from other people, which made me feel bad a little bit but I’m still glad I didn’t bother making one for everyone else just so...
I had 5 dreams last night & they all involved...
Dreams
Like I said in my title, I had several dreams last night and in every one of them I was near death (well, the gymnastics one is a stretch). In the first I was walking around like I was taking a trip across the country just to see where I’d end up and what would happen. I was walking across a field and saw a guy standing around, and I was just trying to pass by but he gave me a nasty...
I’ve been getting used to having a Shamrock Shake...
Dreams
I dreamt that I was at the store with my dad, and while looking at cereal I decided I really wanted some new ones to try. That was about it.
Then I was at my grandma’s house with my brother, but it was like our house. I heard someone come up to the back door, and my brother said it was a girl named Kate looking for me. She left but was coming back in a few minutes. I couldn’t think of...
I’m glad Jeremy Lin & the Knicks kept their...
Dreams
I had a weird dream where basically I stole a rock from my family, and I came up with the idea to tell them I accidentally forgot to put it back so this way I could steal a better one. It was stupid, and I told my brother to wait a minute while I did that. But I had problems doing this, and it ended up taking a couple hours to get done. When I came back to my brother he was really angry...
I finally got my new watch adjusted to my wrist...
One Year Ago Today
I talked about how my feelings toward moving away change like night and day, literally. In the day when I think about moving to California, it’s day and sunny and the prospect seems awesome. But in the night when it’s dark and quiet I get more nervous about moving. I was at my aunt’s house sleeping on an air mattress and it made me think of what the first nights will be like...
The new NBC show “Awake” actually seems good. Most...
One Year Ago Today
I shoveled, got a haircut, cleaned the church, then stayed overnight at my aunt’s house because she was recovering from cataract surgery. In contrast I did nothing all day today so a year ago was much busier.
My Day
I woke up early because I got a text from Jon that piqued my interest, so a bit after noon I was up. But the guys were still a few hours away from being done...
It’s really encouraging to see how happy the...
One Year Ago Today
The power went out that morning, which meant that I had to shovel at the church by hand because I needed power to start the snow blower. The snow was heavy and there was freezing rain coming down the whole time, so it was the most strenuous shoveling I’ve ever done.
Thoughts
Jeremy Lin is a new Knicks point guard this season. He went to college at Harvard, and he’s one of...
I’m trying to take full advantage of McDonald’s...
Dreams
Just before I went to bed last night I finally remembered my dreams from yesterday. I was in a park which had TVs hung up on trees all over. I put in a DVD to watch, and then when I tried to eject the disc it wouldn’t come out. The remote didn’t seem to have an eject button, and there wasn’t anything on the DVD player to eject it either.
Then I was at my step-dad’s church with my dad...
I finally went out tonight...to Replay Games &...
One Year Ago Today
I watched a couple basketball games and then stayed downstairs to watch the Super Bowl on the big screen in HD. I was by myself but at least I got to relax and watch the whole game and the commercials uninterrupted.
My Day
I was really tired last night when I went to bed, which hasn’t been the case for a long time. So I didn’t set an alarm so I could sleep as long as I...
Working during the Super Bowl sucks. I was...
Dreams
I dreamt that I was in school, and a few Knicks players stopped by. It was cool seeing them, and I was thinking about how crazy it is that we have some NBA players from Mohawk. I started thinking that it’s actually probably not that uncommon for famous players to come from little towns like ours. But in reality it is very uncommon, and we’ve never had an NBA player from this area as far...
I enjoyed watching the Knicks on TV the last 3...
Dreams
I had a dream where we had a new fridge, and it was the same as an old dream. It had a small freezer on the very bottom which had small bottles of alcohol, but is really for like ice cube trays. Then it had a big inside part, and inside that there was the freezer on top. Inside that was another door with a separate freezer, and I really liked how there were separate sections like that. ...
I love watching the Seinfeld ep The Pez Dispenser....
One Year Ago Today
I got up to shovel at the church, then hung out and relaxed for the rest of the day. I watched the NBC shows, and then the movie The Education of Charlie Banks afterward. It was a pretty good night.
My Day
Today I was able to sleep in like I wanted to, and once the guys were done working on the bathroom I took a shower and watched some shows. I decided to save last night’s...
One thing I hate while I’m driving is when I have...
One Year Ago Today
I said that this was an all-around good day for the most part: I got to hang out with a couple friends, poker went well, I played some games, watched some movies, saw some Seinfeld, watched the Knicks’ game (although they lost), and had some food.
My Day
I didn’t exactly have trouble sleeping, but around 1pm (at hour 6 of what I expected to be about 10 hours of sleeping) my...
I had a rare busy day, but now I can do nothing...
One Year Ago Today
I learned that it’s “piquing someone’s interest” and not “peaking.” That’s one more in a long list of my revelations. While shoveling at the church a man walking by said good morning to me, and then said, “We’re just kidding ourselves. Is it really good?” I thought that was kind of funny because although he did start with the customary pleasantries, he then negated it. I...
I like how the new Mission Impossible movie uses...
January Recap
This was a strange month. I’ll start with the big thing that happened, which was that I got mugged. I didn’t give much detail about it at first because I was with other people when it happened, and I wanted to keep things private. But since then it seems that everyone we know found out the whole story anyway, so I don’t think there’s harm in saying it here. The part I left out...
