Looks like I might have a pyro gig on new years eve.
This'll preclude joining in on the normal sex and debauchery that's associated with new years, but oh well. I can get drunk and laid anytime.

Woohoo!!!
It looks like I'm going to finally get paid for a shitload of work that I did over a year ago.
We're talking hundreds of hours that I hadn't even bothered to invoice, because I never expected to see a dime from it, and now it's a matter of mere weeks before I might see almost the entire amount.
And just in time for...

So I got a call on my cell phone at about 8:30 last night night. "Caller ID Blocked"
I expected it to be my uncle, as he's pretty much the only person who calls me regularly and has his caller id blocked.
So I answer, expecting it to be him, and instead I'm greeted with a very thick african/middle eastern/indian accent telling me that he's...

On my way home from picking up some pieces for my halloween costume, I got into a three car accident.
Fun stuff.
Luckily I was the lead car, so not only did I not catch the brunt of it, there's absolutely no way for me to be blamed.
I was stopped, waiting for the cars in front of me to move, when I hear a...

What's got two thumbs and an ipod mini?

::This guy::

That's right, my free ipod just came in the other day, and I've been feverishly playing with it since then. This is the first real exposure that I've had to these things, and let me say that they really do live up to the hype. So cool.

Now to get an armband and a docking...

When an angel reaches out its hand to you and offers to escort you through the gates of heaven, few ask how much the trip will cost.

Ok, so the one thing about this weekend.
On sunday it was bright and sunny out. Knowing that I'd be in the sun all day I made sure to put on some sun block.
I forgot to consider however, that I recently got all my hair cut off, and so my ears are now exposed. I didn't notice this until the day was almost over,...

Had a fireworks show this weekend. Considering how long and hard I worked yesterday, it's utterly amazing that I woke up feeling perfectly fine.
During cleanup I shoveled sand for about 2 hours straight, topping off what had already been a grueling 12 hour day setting up the show and dropping product.

By the end I was literally just pushing myself to keep on going....

Some girl said that I look like the guy from creed tonight. I didn't even know that she was talking about me, but apparantly looking like the guy from creed is pretty bad.
I was told by jerm in no uncertain terms that this was an insult, and that I should be offended.
I'm not, but I'm trying to be. I Idon't know what the...

I am now the proud owner of a two story commercial/residential building in downtown chester.

--edit apparantly they don't allow the [strike] tag around these parts...

So the fourth...
Those who know me know that I'm a huge fireworks buff. I love watching them, I love shooting them off, I love building them... Anything to do with fireworks, I enjoy.

A friend of mine owns an 8 story building near where I live, and every year throws a small fourth of july party on the roof of the building. Some beer,...

Long couple of days...
On thursday and friday I agreed to help a friend move his sailboat from the Delaware river to the Jersey Coast.
I boarded on wednesday night, since we were heading out at around 5:30 the next morning.
On thursday we made it to Cape May, had dinner and drinks at the Lobster House, then grabbed a few hours of shuteye. We...
