A Comeback???

2005-05-09T02:30:28Z

I dont know if this is a comeback but it is a long and very much updated post
I graduated well not really i start my last 2 classes on monday tomorrow shit its gonna suck but it is my last classes.
Alot has happened, I graduated and i moced into a new place with a guy from work Carlos, hes a cool guy but i have a lot of time to myself, i feel like i lost touch with everyone. I wish i was back at the place with the guys for sure, while i dont have any complaints I am confused as far as what im going to be doing wiht my life. Air Force, Grad school I dont know
Alot of things are happening and im not the best at dealing with changes, a flaw that i just have never been good at.

New Jersey 2001

2004-12-15T21:07:21Z

So I am writing the message that has been long forgotten. Today my mom sent me my yearbook from jersey. Man I have forgotten so many people, even myself. Now four years later, I am a completly different person. I left with no direction but with the best people close to me. And now 90% of the people I have lost touch with. I miss them.

Final grades

2004-12-11T05:04:34Z

I am predicting the following grades

MAN 4602 - B
Fin 4604 - A
MAN 4600 - A
MAN 4612 - A

Miracle on 8th Street

2004-11-17T23:42:26Z

I have been the victim of a miracle
Honestly
I had a test in Finance yesterday
A very challenging class where if you dont read, dont study, your out of luck, it is far beyond common logic. It consists of math and theory.
I had a test yesterday.
I was not prepared and very scared. The first question took me 10 minutes.
I was sweating
There was 24 questions.
I was confident on 2 questions
The other 22 I HONESTLY guessed and used as much knowledge as I could
I Honestly did not know the 22 i guessed on, i felt horrible about the exam
I prayed for the best. But my chances were against me
I really did not know the 22 questions I guessed on including the to 3 math problems that when I calculated did not match the answers on the test so I ended up guessing those 3 as well.

The Results
I got a 22/24 on the test equalls a 92% plus 5 points curve a 97%
The second highest grade in the class
I honestly studied the least out of everyone in the class and I felt confident that i would recieve a low B at absolute best case scenario

The Conclusion
Because of the grade i recieved I am exempt from the Final with an A in the class

I think I was the witness of a miracle, I think I was fortunate and that I was blessed. My feelings tell me that I didnt earn an A, but maybe i did indirectly. I think I have been blessed and I am very fortunate and I say to my giver thank you

why

2004-10-22T02:52:44Z

why cant south florida have waves all the time
Now that I look back at the surf off that I had due to Hurricane Jeanne, I would have to say it was the best time I ever had in the water
If something as simple as good waves can make me and thousands of others feel so good, why arent we blessed with them all the time? Maybe they are too pure and perfect for us to have all the time. They are a treat, for a small time they are given to us, and those moments last forever
If a non-surfer asks a surfer why they are so obsessed with surfing, they might look at you like your crazy. If someone were to ask me why I surf I would say that it is the best feeling in the world. There is a spiritual side of surfing that I think I have discovered. Not everyone can see this side but I think I have. I think there are two forms of surfers, the aggresive adreline junky surfers, and the spiritual surfers. I think I fall into the spiritual side of surfing... like Bohdi from Point Break, its where you loose yourself and find yourself at the same time. People cant understand this until they start riding waves. Its a beautiful thing. Its all about the feeling. There is a tribe of Polynesians who were the first to ride waves a thousand years ago who base there lifestyle and feed off the spirtual energy of waves and riding waves, they are said to be the most humble and peaceful tribe in the world. This tribe started in Bali and great to other parts of Indonesia where the waves are absolutly perfect. Waves are gifts in my opinion, gifts from nature given to us.

Another Dream

2004-10-19T04:02:01Z

I had another dream about Carl. This time I woke up in his house and the whole Riccio family was in the kitchen and I saw Carl walking with a back brace and a walking device and thought nothing of it. I patted him on the back kinda hard and said "whats up carl" and then it took him a minute to balance himself as I realized that I patted him too hard...... and that was it.

Now does this mean something. I think it does. Do are dreams tell us something? Does it mean that this is going to happen. I pray that it does. This is around the 5th time I had a dream of Carl walking. What does this mean? I wish I had the answers. How come some of the worst things happen to the best of people?

One thing I do know is that he has inspired more people through his injury and fight to live more that any of his performances on the baseball field or wrestling mat have.

Update 2004

2004-10-12T03:51:09Z

So alot has happened
The semester is underway
The new G Spot is great
Everyone has jobs
Progress is underway.

A little about myself. The light at the end of the tunnel is growing closer everyday. I am going to graduate soon in Business and its still shocking to me that Im almost done. Four years ago, fresh out of jersey, my mentality was not focused on graduation. I have been working at Bank of America for past 2 months. As shitty as it can be sometimes, I really like the people I work with and I learn alot. The only real reason that I got the job was to have banking backround when I get out of school to get a job. It doesnt pay very well but they do pay for 2/3 tuition. I am goign to Panama this springbreak with susie and hopefully adam and becka, I seriously cant wait. I surfed the best waves of my life due Hurricane Jeane, thank you for the swell. Time is spent more prductively off campus in my opinion. I dont know when I was back at UPA I always didnt do sh&*. School is hard but im doing well. I just want to get done, and after I want to go to Hawaii. My sister starting saving up to go with me and my dad said that he would go and show me around.

Dr. Wise Young annouced on monday that a cure for paralysis using stem cell will be found in less than 5 years. He said that they are so close that they had to put that little of a time frame on it.

I think my huevos are mad

2004-07-23T17:22:35Z

Everyday when I go to work and about 30 mins after I sit down, the same thing happens, everyday, its like clockwork, and I am sick of it.
I have gotten to the point where I feel a need to express my frustration.
For some odd reason, regaurdless of which kind of pants I wear or which kind of underwear I put on, my cocos de leche are always in a discomforting postion. No matter how I sit, what postion I am in, how my legs are spread, anything, I dont know. Its getting me mad now. I have tried all different undies from tighty whities to boxers to boxer breifs and they are still uncomfortable. They end up all day crunched up in my pants and they are saying to me "HELP, I NEED AIR, I CANT BREATH, TIM YOUR GOING TO KILL US!!"
I think it is because my pants are kinda tight and there isnt as much room to breath as there used to be as with shorts. I cant excape the discomfort
Guys can you feel me??? do tight pants make your balls uncomfortable. I sit in my cubicle with 2 people behind me adjusting my balls all day cause they are never comfortable. Should I cut them off???? haha

I underestimated the power of the ANT

2004-07-12T13:48:10Z

So people down here in florida always told me about red ants

They always said man dont get bit by them they kill. I would be like yea whatever no big deal its just a little ant thats red. My roommate jon banke warned me of these infamous killers on more than one occasion and I would just shake it off. I thought in the past that I have been bitten by them before but I was WRONG, DEAD WRONG.

So I was walking my dog barefoot this weekend, and right when she squatted down to go tinkle I stopped and boom, a couple ants, or just one really pissed off ant, nailed me in the foot. I have 3 battle wounds right now. Man they suck, they itch like nothing I ever had before. They itch/ hurt. I had to take tweezers to them and rip the skin off. Now they dont itch at least. But when they bite it feels like they are continuing to bite for the next 30 mins. It feels like they are still there biting you and your like what the hell is going on. I though I got bit by a freaking Komodo Dragon.

mis dientes me duelen

2004-06-29T15:43:02Z

its been three days since i got my wisdom teeth out, they still hurt

I still havent eaten solid food yet, I dont know why I cant eat still

I cant even open my jaw still, last night a stich came out in my sleep and I really pissed off the wound, my right side is ok but my left side is having trouble. Im getting frustrated about not being able to eat still for the 4th day. Everytime I try to chew I end up bitting my own cheek from being swollen. I took a percocet 2 days ago to sleep and it didnt do anything.
I get the stiches out later this week, I dont know how he is going to be able to open my mouth. Brushing my teeth is a bloodfest.
Wisdom teeth are no joke, whoever said it was a peice of cake must have had a doctor from heaven or just a straight up miracle.
