FALL 2004 COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY: Jaime's graduation!

With God, Anything is possible! - Matthew 27:57-61

"The year 2005 will mark a new beginning and a chance to learn from history in order to create a brighter present and future." -The Great One

Today was a marvelous to say the very least. Jaime had her graduation ceremony today at Big Blue and I was fortunate enough to attend her graduation. I am so proud of her. At the same time, as I watched the entire ceremony, I realized how much I wanted to be a part of it all. Being able to attend the ceremony was both exciting and encouraging. I have a few more classes and an internship to complete before I am finally done with college myself. I plan on turning over a new leaf in 2005. It will be a whole new beginning. That is what I love about New Years.

Today's ceremony, coupled with the refreshing winter break that I am going to enjoy, will spark a whole new enthusiasm within myself come 2005. My graduation has been long overdue. Better late than never I suppose, but I believe I would have graduated much sooner had I been going to Stockton from the very beginning. When I transfered in from County College, I lost quite a number of credits. That knocked me back quite a bit. I have been on a mission to graduate from college, but that mission got a swift kick in the ass today as I watched the Fall 2004 Commencement ceremony. Let it be known that I am not in the habit of rushing things. Life is short enough as it is. I will take this journey one day at a time. I have a burning desire to complete all of my course requirements, but I know that I will have a ceremony as long as I complete them.

My moment of triumph is coming, whether it be sooner or later. Starting in January, my mission to graduate continues and I will likely have a different perspective in terms of what I want to accomplish and how significant of a task it is. The Great One is more than capable of graduating and I look forward to living out each individual day that shall lead me to that major pedestal in my life. I had never been to a graduation ceremony at Stockon, or at any other four year college for that matter. I am determined to become a part of the celebration when my time comes. This winter break is my rehabilitation and I plan on feeling rejuvenated as a result of it. My mind will be clear and my body is going to be well rested. Today's ceremony, coupled with the reinvigorating winter break that I am going to enjoy, will spark a whole new enthusiasm within myself come 2005.

After Jaime's ceremony was over, her family took us to Olive Garden for dinner. I had the chance to meet her grandparents. They were all very nice people and they seemed to take a liking to me. Jaime's grandmother was happy to see me knowing that I had hooked her up with a discount last Christmas when I was working at Macys. As I sat at the table and ate my dinner, it was interesting to see how they all interacted with each other as a family. Jaime's grandparents are awesome. One could indicate that they were all proud of Jaime for her accomplishments. The support that they were all showing her was a beautiful thing. I had a great time with Jaime and her family.

Tomorrow I am on-call at 9 am for work. Time will tell whether or not I have to go in to work for the day. In the event that I have to work, my only hope is that I am not closing. My plans are to drive up to Howell for Monday Night Football at 507 with Jaime and company. There should be some kind of special with the beers. Pizza pies will be $3.50 each. Hopefully I will be able to attend MNF at 507 so I can get my eat and drink on. I am also scheduled on Tuesday from 5pm until I get cut. Those who are not scheduled to close usually get cut around 9 or 10pm. After Tuesday, my Christmas vacation officially begins baby! I am psyched about going home for two weeks and spending the holidays with the family. Throughout the two weeks, I will also be spending time with Jaime. BG will probably be stopping by the crib as well. I look forward to seeing my boy from home. Tonight I will be watching television in the apartment, enjoying some drinks, and chilling out for the most part. Maybe Jeremy and G will join me. You never can tell.

BOXING NEWS:
Courtesy of fightnews.com.

Last night Glencoffe Johnson won a razor-thin split decision over Antonio Tarver to claim the World Light Heavyweight Championship! The fight was close from the very beginning up until the final bell. Many observers felt as though Tarver did enough to walk out with the championship. Regardless of how people felt about the outcome, this marks the 2nd major win in a row for Johnson. He bested former pound for pound champion Roy Jones Jr last September by knocking him out in 9 rounds. Now he has claimed victory over another legitimate prizefighter in Tarver. Over all, Johnson now has three solid wins in the light heavyweight division. He has defeated Erik Harding, Roy Jones Jr, and Antonio Tarver. For anybody who had previously labeled The Great One as a bandwagon fan, I am still a hardcore Tarver fan. I believe he will return stronger than ever from this set back. For now, Glencoffe Johnson is "The Man" in the light heavyweight division. Congratulations to Mr. Johnson.

Jaime will be calling me very shortly. I must get going. Everyone have a great night and come again for more updates. Believe me - this is all the education you need. 1 love.

Peace.

FALL 2004 OFFICIALLY OVER!

There is still plenty to learn...


A little while ago I completed the last final exam I had left which happened to be Part II of Dr. Worthington's HRM Final Exam. My respect for Dr. Worthington has always been high. He has elevated himself to a higher level than any other professor/teacher I have had in my years of school. Human Resource Management was my final class with him. I had him for Intro/Management in 2003 and Business Policy and Strategy earlier this year. He is a wonderful person, an amazing professor, and as one of his students I will miss him dearly. I would like to take a moment to congratulate Jaime on successfully completing her college education today. She is graduating on Sunday, December 19 and I will be attending the ceremony with her family and April. She will be graduating with a G.P.A. that is damn near a 3.7. I envy her for her achievements and I am very proud. Way to go Jaime! I LOVE YOU.

I am so relieved that this semester has come to an end. Now is when the healing process once again begins for my tattered and overloaded mind. Slowly but surely, I will bring my mental state back down to par and relax my mind. Detox is sorely needed and this winter break is going to serve as a nice rehabilitation period from school. LOL. For the most part, this has been four months of torture. It was one of those semesters in which everything seemed to go wrong. Bad luck was the theme of the semester, from the multifunction switch malfunctioning(dating back to September) to my flat tire (October). My course load was also a little too heavy this semester. Donna actually warned me about taking too many significant courses the first day of school. I thought I could handle such a course load, but it was an extremely challenging task on my part.

As a person who had successfully completed so many courses throughout this past year and received such exemplary marks, I made the mistake of believing I could handle such a heavy course load. That was a major mistake on my part. I will learn from that experience and become better for it as a result. Humans learn through trial and error and I will learn from this experience (even though I only have one semester left). One can always learn from the past up until the day they die. We are always capable of learning as long as we are living. We must learn from mistakes that we make in history. History will repeat itself if we do not learn from it. This winter break should be just what I need. When the time comes for Spring Semester to start, I will feel refreshed. I will be ready to go about my courses with a new found hope. Let's not get into that though... At this moment I am enjoying the present.

I look forward to the holidays with great anticipation. Tomorrow I am going to the mall to do some Christmas shopping before going in to work at 6 o'clock. My two week vacation is going to be quite relieving as well as comforting. P.F. Chang's will be courteous enough to give me those two weeks, which I requested over a month ago, or else they have seen the last of me. The job is nice, but at the same time I certainly deserve a break. There is no doubt about that. In the event that they do not give me the time off, I shall walk out and explore my opportunities for future employment at either Borgata or The Hilton. Donna is capable of hooking me up with a job at Borgata. She helped open the hotel over two years ago. As a result, she has some really good contacts within that company.

Hopefully I do not have to walk away from my job at P.F. Chang's because I enjoy working there, but I must look out for what is in my best interest. Two weeks of vacation are in my best interest this winter. Rarely have I been able to drive home (up North) and see the family this semester. Throughout this past semester I only went home two times (my birthday and Thanksgiving). I have earned a break and I requested the time off way in advance. All management has to do to avoid me leaving the company is be good ladies and gentlemen and give me the time off that I requested.

Tonight is going to be absolutely wonderful for The Great One. Jaime is out with Laura doing some Christmas shopping. When she gets back, we are going to Blockbuster to rent Elf (starring Will Ferrell).

Shamefully I have not yet seen that movie but we will be watching it tonight. Everyone knows Will Ferrell from Saturday Night Live, but I never really took a liking to him until Old School came out in the theater. In my opinion, Old School was his coming-out party. I heard the movie was hysterical and I want to see it for myself. According to the people I speak to who have seen it, this is not your ordinary, everyday comedy. This movie contains "piss your pants" type comedy, which is comedy that is on an entirely different level. Gradually I am becoming more and more of a Will Ferrell fan, so I am really looking forward to seeing Elf.

At this point, it is time to make a trip to the liquor store for some well-deserved cold adult beverages. I need some time to just cool off and get my mind away from the responsibilities of college. Should be a lot of fun. Take care and keep on the look out for more updates. As I go about this winter break/rehabiliation process, they will be coming more frequently than ever! I know you are all PSYCHED. Hell, I have yet to post my Christmas List and New Years Resolutions!

Have a great night.

1 love.

Peace.

Grand opening; my thoughts and ideologies!

HOT NEWS UPDATES - in addition to some of my thoughts and ideologies...

Grab a snack, sit back, and enjoy.

Hola ladies and gentlemen! What's the good word? Obviously you have returned to my website in order to get the latest scoop on my scene. The Great One has absolutely nothing against that. In fact I encourage it. Brace yourselves as I have plenty to say in this particular post. As many of you already know, yesterday marked the opening of P.F. Chang's China Bistro in Atlantic City, NJ. Leading up to that point, I had suggested to many friends and fellow employees that opening night would be unpredictable. Nobody quite knew what to expect in regards to the grand opening. With cloudy skies and a hint of rain, the weather conditions were less than inviting. The Great One did a wonderful job and managed to survive the evening.

Julius Erving, the great and dominant basketball player commonly known as Dr. J, came in to the restaurant early in the evening for a bite to eat. The manager for Destiny's Child (who happens to be Beyonce's father) made a reservation for a party of 50 on Saturday, December 18.

Provided that I am working on that evening, it will interesting to see who exactly is going to attend that party. My guess is that Beyonce and possibly even Jay Z will be amongst such a sizeable crowd. What a thrill it would be for The Great One to seat such talented and well known artists! As hosts we must remember to remain professional as well. I will have to face the challenging task of restraining myself in front of the celebrities that walk through that door. I had previously been instructed to notify the managers that a celebrity has arrived the moment they walk through the front entrance. Managers want to have the celebrities seated as quickly as possible.

My philosophy is that they are people just like anyone else. We as restaurant employees are not there to scare people away. The objective is to make as much money for the restaurant as possible. By scaring away our guests, we limit our chances of achieving our goals. I do not plan on losing my cool over the excitement of seeing some familiar faces. One must acknowledge that they are people and they want to enjoy the same dining experience that all of the other guests are experiencing.

Wait a second... scratch that.

Knowing who they are and how much money they demand, I am sure they are looking to experience enjoyment that is 100 times greater than our average guest.

Nonetheless, I will be treating them like regular human beings. Besides, one never knows how generous or cheap they could possibly be with the tips. Some of the world's wealthiest people can have the most greed. The fact that they are stars could signify that they will try to take advantage of us because of "who they are". You never know what is going to come out of their mouths.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Why am I not being seated at a table?? I am 'Johnny such and such' and I deserve expedient service because I get paid MILLIONS of dollars to perform for you in motion pictures!"

Some of them may not even be nice people. Many people do not take such factors into consideration. Therefore it is in my best interest to avoid being star-struck as often as possible. Afterall there is a fine line between being star-struck and being excited to see a star.
Apparently the managers do an adequate job of following the standards that they preach to their workers. This was evident last night, as two of them stood outside directly in front of the restaurant and took it in their liberty to smoke cigarettes. During the week of training, they had instructed us not to smoke cigarettes in front of the restaurant for the primary reason that it gives the restaurant a bad image. Smokers were advised to take a walk across the street or to to boardwalk if they had to smoke during breaktime. Therefore why were the managers doing it? I suppose they are anticipating their holiday bonuses and that anticipation is obscuring their perception of the values our restaurant has. Whatever. I am not a smoker so that is not my problem to deal with. To each their own I suppose.

Alright. Enough about my job for the time being. The job is decent, but if I ramble on about it too much, I may begin to bore myself.

Who is looking forward to winter recess?? Who is looking forward to the holidays???? Is anybody going on vacation? The Great One welcomes the holiday season with open arms baby! There comes a time when one just needs time to think and have some privacy. Living on campus has been a privledge in all the years I have been going to school. Living with the friends I have lived with has been a pleasure, but I am looking forward to having some time off from school and work. I would like to go home for a couple weeks so I can enjoy some time to myself.
One's privacy is limited by living in an apartment with three other residents. The single dorm was a positive experience, but the availability for single dorms was limited this year. Having said that, I have absolutely no dislike for my roommates nor do I intend to disrespect them. They are genuinely nice people, great personalities (Jeremy and Sean, that is), and I totally enjoy having them in my presence. Ya'll know I am not in the habit of surrounding myself with trouble makers and drama queens. We all know that I eventually detect those bad seeds and kick them to the curve where they belong. Nonetheless, Jeremy and Sean are friends of mine. There are very few people that I could even think about living in an apartment with. These guys are cool cats.

Going home for the holidays, watching television at night, staying up late to do whatever I want to do, and just having free time to think about certain things is going to be really healthy for me. I remain optimistic that I will feel a whole lot better when I return to school for the spring semester (my final semester to be exact ). In a sense it will be a new beginning. I look to turn over a new leaf. Next semester will be an entirely different story from this one. I will be taking three courses (two of them major-related) instead of five. Those three courses include Hospitality Controls, Facilities Management, and Money and the American Imagination. I will also leave more free time for myself when I give the managers my updated availability for next semester. Spring time has always been good to The Great One and next spring should be no exception. My goal will be to pass those three courses successfully, complete the internship, and finally get the paper I so rightfully deserve!

Donna recently advised me to live in the now and to stop feeling so frustrated over my late entrance into the program. Now comes to an end, we do our best to learn from now after it has become history, and tomorrow immediately follows. I am The Great One. I will always be who and what I am because that is the way I was born. I would not want to be anybody else but me. Why would I?? I must accept my life for what it is. God has blessed me with will power and a strong mind that classify me an amazing individual. I am articulate, good looking, exquisite, flamboyant, personable, and thoughtful. Why else would I be in a host position at work?

I am THE TRUTH.

At this point, it is time for me to go. Have a great day and keep on the look out for further updates. One love.
Peace.

Jersey's Finest is in the house!

The Great One is back, another weekend is here, and I know you’re all in high spirits as a result. Obviously, when I post people read. People are curious as to what’s going on with yours truly. Therefore, I must give you an idea of what’s current with one of the greatest legends to ever walk God’s green Earth. Hey, it’s true.

And, there’s speculation that I’ll be walking on water by the year 2010.

OKAY, I don’t know about that…
But that would be amazing.

Hence, the speculation.

Basically, I've been making easy money. I don't know if I would call it work, because it doesn't feel like work right now. We're going through a slow period, so we're basically killing time by hanging out and having fun. We've been having water balloon fights all week. Two teams. My team has eight people (Junior, Anna, Tim, Damon, Desmond, Dave, Gary, and myself). The opposing team has three people (George, Adam, and Matt). LOL.

I can not believe how fast this week has come and gone! Nonetheless, it’s been an awesome week. Better than I anticipated. Not a really hard work week. EASY MONEY. You really have it made when your own boss informs you that you can do whatever you want – as long as you don’t wander off too far for too long. On Tuesday, Junior, Anna and I took a long lunch break and went out for a trip to CVS.

Yesterday we watched Undisputed (starring Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames). I found it to be an entertaining movie. The combination of prison life and the boxing world made for an appealing plot. Yes, today was uplifting. Get paid for it was even better. Jaime came down to visit me on Wednesday. This Wednesday thing is turning into a trend with Jaime visiting me on that day EACH week. LOL. We had a great time, as usual. We went to Applebee’s for dinner and watched Office Space when we returned to my apartment.

I love that movie. I LOVE JAIME! I love that girl to death. If she came to see me everyday, I wouldn’t mind. I love her company. She left Thursday night. A bunch of us had a BBQ to attend last night at 6:30, but a rain storm postponed the BBQ. Oh well… maybe next week. We’re looking ahead to another night of gambling in A.C. We’ll be spending the $10 complimentary dollars that we were awarded for winning money back in March at the HILTON.

A week from today will be the infamous BACHELOR PARTY. It’s coming sooner than we expect. Hopefully, it’s a fun time. But you never know. However, I think it’s always positive when people who don’t like each other can come together for one night, one purpose, and one specific individual. The fact that I’m going to the same party that certain people (who I personally do not like) will be attending illustrates the importance of this party. Certainly, there’s a mutual dislike between a few of the people and myself, but it’s all good. My attendance is not based on these insignificant persons. Significant to bachelor party; insignificant to me. The fact that I will be present this party says a lot about the person we’re having the party for.

I am looking forward to an enjoyable time. I’m sure everything will be all right, as long as we all concentrate on having our own good times. There will be respect that night, even if there hasn’t been any respect prior to the party and won’t be any respect after. It’s not like we are ever going to be friends again. That will not happen because I do not want it to happen. Like it or not, time has passed and there are certain things that I can not and will not drop. I never let anything get me down anymore if I can help it. I’m too big for that.

As long as there’s respect during the party, I’m optimistic that everything will be okay. Gentlemen, let’s have a great time! Fortunately, there are some people that I look forward to seeing at the party.

Having said all of that, it’s time for bed. Come back soon have a great evening. Take care and be safe.

Good Lord!

What a terrific day! The sun is shining ever so bright. I had a mini BBQ out on the deck, as I did last weekend when I was home. It feels wonderful to have the sun hitting my back and my face. I’ve gotten so used to that feeling by lying out on the beach during the week, working grounds in the morning on campus, etc. I talked to Jaime earlier, as I do everyday, and she’ll be coming down to see me on Wednesday. To be honest, right now I feel just as bright and dazzling as the sun.

I look forward to working out Monday. I got my training regime all developed. I’m SUPERMAN with a SUPER PLAN and I will start to look and feel better than ever in due time. Training will consist of light weight lifting, road work, swimming, some dieting, and stretching. As I said, it will be nothing too difficult. I already get really good workouts with my job. Right now, I feel awesome! Last night, I got a good night’s rest. Today, I’m just chillin’ in my crib, sitting outside on the deck, and catching a breather from the hard work I completed last week.

Right now, I just want to enjoy my free time before I go back to work again and start training next week. This is what one would call play time. It is my time to congregate with family and friends. Tonight is the rematch between Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver. That fight should be competitive. They faced each other when they were both 13 years of age. Last November, Roy Jones won a close majority decision over Tarver and the fight raised more questions than answers. Hence, tonight’s rematch. Yours truly scored the first fight a draw (114-114) and I thought the decision could have gone either way.

We’ll see what happens tonight. Roy claims he was weight drained and he didn’t care about Tarver at all the first time. He was looking forward to fighting Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko. It was apparent that he was searching for a big mega fight at heavyweight. On the other hand, Tarver is more confident than ever, and that includes his attitude prior to the first fight. Is Roy starting to slip? Will Tarver be over-confident for this fight, just as Roy was the first time around? Will Tarver be more aggressive in the center of the ring? Will Roy stay off the ropes more and fight in the center of ring where he was most effective last November?

All questions to be answered. The answers will come tonight. Great fight.

In the meantime, I’m going outside in the back to lay down on the hammock and listen to some music. It’s on like Donkey Kong biatch!

LIVING LIKE A KING, THERE IS No time like play time…

End of Spring Semester 2004!

Hey, what’s up folks???

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!! My weekend was absolutely crazy. Yesterday consisted of tanning, getting drunk, and eating Chinese food. Late last night, after I took a three hour nap, Jaime and I went over to H court for the party in H32. Apparently, the party had dyed down, so we went to H14 to see Erin, Kristen, and her friend John. They played Asshole while I concentrated on sobering up and drinking water. LOL.

This semester has a total of three days left. This is hard to believe. The school year just came and went. It’s all good though. This summer should be satisfying. I got a bunch of things lined up. On Thursday May 6, if the weather is up to standards, I will be going to Ocean City to spend the day at the shore with Jaime.

Later that evening, I, The Great One, will once again be making a glorious return to D-town to see my family and a few friends!!! I look forward to returning home and hanging out in the old homestead. I will be in D-town for about five days. On May 10, I will be returning to school for work and summer classes. On most of these upcoming weeks, I will be traveling back to D-town for the weekends to relax and hang out with my wonderful family. Obviously, I can not go all that time without seeing them at all. I sure as hell can not see them enough during the school year. I will also see Jaime approximately two or three times a week.

On my way home on Thursday nights, I will be visiting her, and going to Bar-A, Jenkinsons, or Bamboo whenever her and her friends have plans to go to these bars/clubs on some of those Thursday’s. So, I think I will be home more so than seems to be the case from the outset. On some weeks, I will probably be home for 2 or 3 days on the weekends.

Definitely worthy of note, the weekend of June 18 should be an interesting occasion. LOL. On June 18, I will be attending my friend Scott’s bachelor party here in Jersey. Scott is originally from Jersey, but he currently lives in California where he’s attending law school. As soon as I get the scoop on where exactly the party is located, and what time it is starting, I’ll be there! That should be a fascinating event to say the least. I am quite a character and I love a good time. Hopefully, this will be a pleasant occasion and I don’t have any doubts that it will be. I’m a bundle of joy and charisma no matter where I am present and no matter what happens. I am well loved by those who matter. I'm loved by MANY, hated by very few, and respected by ALL.

On 4th of July weekend, I will be home for the 4th of July fireworks as well as a little BBQ. I am looking forward to that weekend because I love the holiday. July 4th is Independence Day, and of there is certainly no privilege that ranks higher than independence.

Also being talked about is a possible road trip to North Carolina.

But for now, the time has come for me to go to sleep. Everyone have a great night, a great week, and look forward to reading my next post. It will be coming very soon! Good luck with final exams everyone!

FRATORITY, we STILL RULE!

Peace.

Ocean City with Ray and Kristen!

Yesterday was absolutely glorious! Ray, Kristen and I went to Ocean City. A thanks goes out to Ray for driving, especially when it was my idea to go there. LOL.

For the most part, we stayed on beach and went tanning. I felt really comfortable and at ease lying under the sun. Today, thanks to the sun there is some additional color to my beautiful complexion. I look as great as ever! Usually, it’s colder by the ocean because the breeze is blowing off the waves onto the boardwalk. However, it was warmer than we anticipated; it wasn’t really that chilly on the beach. There were a lot of people on the boardwalk, as well as on the beach. You could tell it was the first really good weekend we’ve had this year.

Today is even better. It’s 84 degrees outside and I don’t waste such a beautiful day in doors. The weather for this whole week is supposed to be superb. Thankfully, my 3:35 class is being conducted outdoors, so I’ll get more sun and more time outdoors. A little later, I think I’m going to the beach again to study for the final exam I have on Thursday for Finance.

It’s time for me to go to class.

I know you’ll K.I.T. I know you want to read more because I would want to read more about me. Love goes out to those I have it for.

Have a great day, enjoy the weather, and be safe.

Attention boys and girls: The Fratority don't fuck around!

Wut up ladies and gents?? I am taking the time to enjoy this beautiful Friday afternoon. Yesterday was such a busy day for me. I thought it would never end. However, it ended on a rather amusing note.

Last night, some friends of mine and I had the best Thursday that has come along for quite some time. The night started off at E 30 in Aaron’s apartment, with only Aaron, Adam “The Sheik” and myself. About an hour later, Ray came to Aaron’s and that’s when we started figuring out where we wanted to go. Around 11:30, Jaime got out of work, so she picked Anna up from her apartment and they both came over to join us at Aaron’s. We were drinking, watching television, listening to music, and a few of us wanted to get a card game started, but we could not get enough people to play.

Shortly after that, we had all decided to go to D court. Soon enough, everyone was at D 15. The people present at D 15 last night were Jaime, Anna, Ray, Kristen, Adam “The Sheik”, Aaron, and The Great One amongst many others. The Sheik had like 50 bottles of Yuengling (and they were not small bottles; 24 oz) so he gave one to each of us out of a select group. I thank The Sheik and give props to him for his courtesy. Aaron, on the other hand, wasted no time and decided that it was his moment to start funneling. Everyone else grabs their beer. A couple people in the apartment informed the rest of us that they were leaving. Automatically, Aaron assumes that we ALL have to leave and funnels his 24 oz bottle of Yuengling within 45 seconds. One minute later, he’s stumbling all over the apartment trying to dance. LOL. This guy was trying to dance?? Walking was obviously enough of a challenge for him at that point! We all love Aaron. Last night, he was the center of attention. It was nice to see everyone having a good time and living it up coming down the stretch of this spring semester. I had a blast and I enjoyed hanging out and be surrounded by some of the best folks in this world today.

A little while ago, I went to N Wing for dinner/social hour with Jaime, Windsor, Ray, Colleen, Anna, and Aaron. Typically, Crazy Mike “The Vegan” eventually joined us and offered up his conventional wisdom for the crowd at hand. All in all, this is a beautiful day. For me, it’s a “not doing jack shit” day. Now and then, you need a day to let loose, clear your head, and do whatever floats your boat. For many people, that is almost every day. But, it happens to be today for me. Feels pretty good too. It’s healthy. You live longer. A short life for me would be devastating to the whole world. This world can not afford to lose such a magnificent living legend. You would no longer be able to obtain my valuable outlook on such an extraordinary website.

It’s time for me to go. I want to relax and do more of whatever I please for the rest of the day. I hope ya’ll have a good weekend. Keep reading. LOL. I should probably stop saying that. My postings and numbers of visitors are enough speak for themselves. Ya’ll know what you really want to read and who you are most curious about. Fortunately, some of the people who read about me can see me on a regular basis or communicate with me on a daily basis. You give respect to those who earn it; those who show you respect. Therefore, I give mad respect to whoever is privileged to be by my side because they’re alright by me I enjoy being around them.

I’m nice. I’m showy. I’m entertaining. And I am THE TRUTH.

I am a delightful SPLENDOR.

The Road Not Taken!

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Lee Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Post-Easter reaction - some words of wisdom!

This past weekend was lovely and I had a wonderful Easter. I hope everyone else did the same.

Today, I am back at school and it's shocking how fast the semester is winding down! We have less than four weeks left. Let's see if I can make them the best four weeks of the semester. The first 3 months have been absolutely brilliant, so why should the last 3 or 4 weeks be any different for me? It will not be long after this semester before I return to school late in the month of May for a couple summer sessions. Tonight, I'll be having dinner with Jaime and my fratority associates around 6 pm. BTW, it is a long story on how this name came to fruition, but it evolved during a comical conversation at dinner one night about a month ago.

Sometimes, I think some of these people are of a different breed and that is what makes them interesting and entertaining to have dinner with. They are people who come from different locales and have various backgrounds, but some of them have gone through similar experiences. Exceptional people. We don't really go to N Wing as much for the food as we do to chill, hang out with each other, and socialize. N Wing is more of a social club than anything else. So, I look forward to dinner for those reasons.

I was supposed to have a quiz @ 12:45, but the professor put it off for another week. Hey, that works for me. Sometimes, you never know what is going to happen when you attend class. I think we must come to appreciate these golden moments or gems when we are let off the hook from something significant like a quiz, or even a class for that matter. Not that I wouldn't have succeeded or excelled on the quiz, but I still appreciate the fact that I did not have to take one today. That quiz would've been no different from the rest of my tests and quizzes this semester.

Hopefully, you all have a nice day. It's time for me to go read a case my BSNS Policies and Strategies Class. The case is about the E.J. Gallo Winery and on Thursday I will be participating in a group presentation based on that case. Have a wonderful day and be safe.

WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE DAY:

Don't ever let ANYBODY walk all over you or try to deter you from your own beliefs and actions. Afterall, who are they? We're only human and if people criticize you, that makes them even MORE human than you are. Who are they to object to any of your views or statements? Your perception of yourself is YOUR OWN perception. People can agree or disagree on your views all they want. But, if they are thinking about your beliefs and offering criticism to your beliefs, then they obviously are not thinking about what they should be thinking about (and that is themselves and their own responsibilities). The individuals who are content, unbothered, and not critical to your beliefs are the ideal individuals to keep close by. Regardless of what you say, those who mind what you say do not matter, and those who matter don't mind. Hey, it's the truth.

K.I.T. and keep reading. Is that not why you are here???

Peace.

Fabulous, handsome, gifted, flamboyant, exceptional, and legendary. All God-given qualities.

Magnificent God-given day!

This is a bright, magnificent, God-given day. I hope everyone else is seeing the day through my eyes. Today, we received the grades for our second Business Policies and Strategies Exam.

Your's trully scored the highest out of the 35 students in the class; a 100%!!! That is worth 30% of my final grade. So great. So brilliant. So extravegant. So beautiful. Such a grand result. So inevitable! I say inevitable because I predicted a week in advance that I would get the highest score in the class. I swear to God. There were 10 multiple part essay questions on that exam (split up into two class periods) and there was not one error in any of those essays. This just illustrates my quote (the tagline) on my website up above. It is not just all talk. I am so great. I am The Truth. I knew I would excell on this exam (as I do on all of them) because it was all essays (as 99% of his exams are) and I am absolutely brilliant when it comes to writting essays in this professor's classes.

However, I received the highest grade in the class. I predicted it because I had a really strong feeling that it was going to happen. This is phenomenal because it is a 4000-level senior business course, I am sitting on an A average in that course as I speak, and I got the highest grade on the 2nd and last exam in that course. God had it previously planned for me to get 100% and that message was delivered to ME. That is when I made my prediction. He delivered the message. I delivered on the exam, and sure enough, through God's Graces I got a 100%. Being bright, optimistic and enthusiastic is a beneficial when delivering on God's graces. I did just that.

Amen.

I would also like to congratulate Jaime on the award she received this morning. She is in the National Honor Society for Psychology and she will be in the PSI-CHI Magazine, which sites the names of all honor students in psychology all throughout the country. She is always getting A's and B's and she got a 4.0 G.P.A. last semester while taking five courses. Props to Jaime for that superb achievement. She works really hard, she is bright, very ambitious, and those are endeavors to the tremendous job that she has been doing. Damn, we must BOTH be in good company. We definitely got it going on folks.

I hope everyone is having a terrific week. Thankfully, there is no class tomorrow. It is preceptorial advising day for the underclassmen. I will be at tomorrow night's Lacrosse game at 7pm. All anybody has to do is mention "free food" and that is all the bait I need to attend a sporting event. LOL. So, I will be going to that game with Brian, Colleen, Windsor, Ray, and anybody else that wants to come along with us. Gather the troops Jaime would be coming as well if she didn't have to work, but it's all good. I'll be seeing her later that evening anyway. By the way, who the hell are we playing tomorrow night??? This just goes to show I'm attending for the food and the people.

Unfortunately, it's time for me to get going. Always remember to K.I.T. and keep reading. You never want to miss the Latest about The Greatest. You won't want to miss a beat. I'll be seeing many of you around on campus.

Peace.

A busted luau!

Hello everybody. I've been away for almost a week. I could only imagine how impatient everybody must've been getting while waiting for my next post.

Well, here I am! Anna's luau getting busted by cops was the biggest news this weekend and it was rather disheartening. A great party was just starting to evolve, when the 15-20 smokers standing right outside the doorway drew attention to the cops. That's when the cops entered the apartment and brought an end to the party (dumping Evan's (who is of age) unopened $20 bottle of Everclear in the process). All in all, truly a night to forget.

Other than that, this weekend was rather calm and uneventful. Yesterday, I spent a great part of the day in the computer lab typing up a study guide for my one of my exams. Last night, Jaime and I watched The Wedding Singer.

I have two exams and a quiz this week. On Tuesday and Thursday, I will be taking another two-day, 10-question exam in BSNS Policy and Strategy. We have to answer 5 multiple-part essay questions on the first day, and the remaining five on the second day. I should ace that exam with my eyes closed. The other exam is in Mind Conditioning tomorrow at 3:35. I am taking most of my time tonight to study for that exam.

I got almost 11 hours of sleep on Friday night, which was healthy for me. I got almost 8 hours of sleep last night, but nonetheless I still feel tired right at this moment. Maybe it was the dinner I ate. I think the time is coming to get some coffee.

Yeah, this week figures to be rough, but SPRING BREAK is right around the corner the following week. That should be lovely. My return to Dtown will be on Saturday, March 13. I look forward to seeing family and friends back home, as well getting some rest and going to BarA on Thursday night of that week!

Obviously BarA, on that Thursday night, is going to ridiculous.

That's the ONLY night of the week BarA is going to have this good-looking, hot stud, with his beautiful girI friend, on its dance floor.

...75 cent drinks as well.

But for now, I'll be up until around 2 am looking over my study guides for the exams this week. In between the studying, Jaime and I are going to watch Adult Swim. My two favorites shows on Adult Swim are THE BRAK SHOW and AQUATEEN HUNGER FORCE. Those are the best two shows on Sunday night's Adult Swim every week.

Sometime around 10pm, I'm off to Wawa to get some coffee so I don't fall asleep at my desk while studying.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to depart. I have to study. I must continue to bang out these tests and quizzes; continually proving my brilliance and knowledge as the semester quickly moves along. Hopefully, everybody had a great weekend, nobody got hurt, and everything is cool. Remember to K.I.T., be safe, and I'll see some of you throughout the week.

PEACE.

My aces never fail with Worthington!

Today started off on the right track. In Business Policies and Strategies, we got our exams returned to us. I got an A on my exam. So many words can describe that result. Splendid. Great. Inevitable. Superb. To sum it up, it was a great way to start the class. I got one more exam in that class (and it happens to be before SPRING BREAK). In other words, we only have a total of two exams, and they're before Spring Break, so I have my last exam in that class coming up next week. I think I will go ahead and get an A on that one also. After that, when everyone returns from spring break, the remainder of the semester will be presentations and business reports, and I am nothing short of great when it comes to those. I basically have an A in that class; all I have to do now is show up.

Hopefully, all goes well with the Mind Body Conditioning practical tomorrow, as well as the written midterm for that class on Monday. I am sure everything will be alright. So, everything is at a level base at this moment. I feel a little tired, but that is because I had a heavy dose of carbs for lunch today (pasta with chicken parmesan and garlic bread). I have to meet with my group today to sort out each of our sections for the Finance project we are currently working on. We are doing an annual report for Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. I already completed my part (the consolidated Balance Sheet) for the company. Around 5 PM, I have to meet with my group to see how they did with their parts of the project.

I'm in a computer lab right now, and I am rather HOT, because the computer lab is heavily heated due to the electricity and I am wearing a sweater (a nice one nonetheless; I like to look sharp). Therefore, it is time for me to get out of here. Everyone have a good day. Much love to those whom I have it for. Be good. Be real. Stay tuned and holla at ya' BOY!

Peace.

Bright side to eating at N-Wing?

The food here at school is really something to comment about. It takes away hunger for students, but I can not say that it is all that satisfying. The after effects of the Chartwell food consumption do not live up to the effects of proper nourishment for one's body. I usually end up feeling tired after a meal and sometimes I feel like crap. But sometimes, they do provide us with a decent, healthy meal. Salads are one thing that they can't really mess up. We can actually put those together ourselves.

The bright side to eating at NWing is eating with wonderful people. I consider myself a people's person, as well as a people's champ, so I like to eat with great people. People who spark conversation. People who will make me laugh. People who are different and charismatic. People who bring out the best of me. People who bring out the "happy" me! I always like seeing familar faces. Today, Jaime and I had dinner with Anna, Ray, and his female friend (whom I regret that I do not remember her name). Also at dinner tonight was Jhon, Andrew, Chris, little Mike, Keeley, her boyfriend Jeremy, Jackie, and Aaron (my gentle-giant, big hearted former roommate) - just to name a few old friends. It is great to see these people.

Also, I did receive a nice fatty paycheck in the mail today (courtesy of Stockton). I think it was either a refund for the class I dropped the first week, or tax return money from working on campus last year. Either way, it means more green for me. That should help contribute to my summer class and housing expenses. But first thing is first. I must finish this semester successfully and I actually have a legitimate shot at a 4.0 GPA so far this semester. How glorious that would be! What a fitting end for one so dazzling. What a triumph for a veteran college student who preaches smart work and exercises the practice of partying!! However, I won't let my head get too too big JUST YET. I still have business to take care of. I still have plenty of time. But, the conclusion will be super and my intelligence and experience will prevail BABY.

After that, this summer should be interesting. I look to make some money. I will be by the shore quite a bit. My target for the summer is three classes (including the Management Independent Study). That should keep me nice and busy. That should keep my focus high and my mind sharp. However, I look to have some fun as well. Hopefully, some friends of mine here at school are taking summer classes as well and we can all live in the same court. That would make the summer that much more intriguing.

Let there be peace. Let there be contentment. Then, after all, let there be as much happiness as possible. More smart work, less hard work. TIme for bed. Time to bounce. K.I.T. Keep reading.

Be safe.

PEACE.

Roots concert aftermath!

This weekend was interesting. Last night was a whole lot of fun.

After the Roots had their concert (which I failed to pay $11 to go see; many mixed results about the concert afterwards), a group of people and I hit up some after-parties at the courts. Once again, it was great to be partying with a bunch of different people that I knew in one way or another. I went to every single court, with the exception of A-Court. Being around good people, hitting up numerous parties, and having fun like there's no tomorrow reminds you that there is a life besides the stresses that come with excessive college work and studying. On top of everything else, I marinated E-Court last night - courtesy of my capacity-filled blatter. There is no way that I can hide that. LOL. Last year, it happened in A-court, where I was heavily cheered on by many drunken college students. This year, it was E-Court. But, when you gotta go, you gotta go!! When natures calls, we must answer no matter where we are. Overall, I had a blast! There's no denying that it was a great, great time.

Today, I went to brunch, did a little laundry, and cleaned my room. I also played some video games for a little while.

EA SPORTS FIGHT NIGHT 2004 will be in stores on March 23 for XBOX. You know I look foward to that! I am definitely getting that game.
For the most part, I sat back and relaxed. Well, the weekend is now over. It is back to the normal weekly routine of classes, along with trying to get some sleep around here. Back to the books, back to business, and back to the highway that leads to the weekends. Time for me to peace out. As always, K.I.T. and come again soon!

STAY TUNED.

Financial Management exam result, diverse avenues of beer consumption, passing out for Conan, and more!

Hello everybody. Welcome back! Yes, I have been away for a couple days. I am here today, bigger, better, and stronger than ever. I got my Finance exam back last night and I got an 87 on it. Not a bad result I guess. I would refer to it as a sucessful introduction to the course. Being so close to an A, I am targeting an A for my final grade in that class.

Other than that, I spent the rest of my night drinking some beer and just laying back in the cut watching television. I was headed to a party in the courts, but I never left my room. The person hosting the party had to study, so I didn't go over there. I'm not even sure if the party went on as planned. Therefore, I stayed in my area of the campus. Incidently, I took two diverse avenues in my beer consumption. I first took the D-town ghetto route, drinking a 40oz of Steel Reserve wrapped up in the paperbag that it was sold to me in. After that, I drank it up Stockton style; a 12 pack of Keystone Light - A.K.A. Stockton Light- and got the best of both worlds.
By the time Conan came on, I was ready to call it a night and pass out.

Tonight, it's off to Atlantic City for some good old casino time with Jaime and company. I don't plan on doing any heavy gambling; just the nickel slots. Doing that, I can get a couple free cups of beer. Overall, I look to have a grand old evening in Atlantic City, enjoying my youth and surroundings at the same time. Right now, I'm just trying to do my thing with school. I don't have too much longer to go. I want to finish it up with a BANG. I am having some fun, but doing work as well. This point of my life requires a lot of focus and planning. In the end, my brilliance and persistence will prevail. That's basically it. In the coming weeks, I look foward to going to Deleware, and I look foward to my spring break. I'll be back in D-town at that time and I'll be there for a week.

I gotta run out, but K.I.T.! A lot of different things could gradually be happening with me in the near future. You won't want to miss anything. Stay tuned!

PEACE

STOCKTON MADNESS!!!!

A word that will instantly make 2000+ students on this campus cringe:

H O U S I N G.

Who is the genius, or lack-thereof, who decided to make the housing renewal policy first-come, first serve, and ONLINE?? Can you say SYSTEM CRASH??

Words of wisdom to those mentally-challenged decision makers in the housing department:
When on-campus housing renewal applications are put online at NOON with 2000+ students looking to re-apply (with our internet running through a network),

and it is first-come, first serve (yes, some of us have common sense. this usually means we try to come first in order to be served first),

logic says, 2000+ students will be by a computer at NOON trying to apply at the same time.

Yes, housing did shut down the system before it could crash, but if they KNEW it would crash, then why carry out with those plans????

Where do they get these people for these important positions at a four year college??? Whose to blame for this? President Hermi, the evil, chemically-imbalanced Santa Claus???

Isn't he the same guy who tried to stop alcohol consumption on our campus last year?

Yeeeaaahhhhhhhhhh, each day I walk through a parking lot, I see crushed beer cans. Way to clear up our alcohol problem fat boy!

News flash: Technology does not solve ALL of our problems!!! Today's disaster is a prime example of what happens when morons manipulate technology and take it for granted. They did it twice and screwed it up twice (at noon, it was about to crash before the "geniuses" at housing shut the system down without telling us. meanwhile, all the students are missing classes just to renew their housing (all for NOTHING) then at 1pm, it did crash.)

Anyway, the housing renewal process has been re-scheduled for Tuesday, February 24. I will be one of the first picks and I will live where I want because that's the way it should be done!

It's time to relax. Howard Stern is on in 20 minutes. Come back soon!

Oh yeah, it's snowing outside. It is supposed to snow until Noon tomorrow. Three car accidents on College Ave tonight already. Yup, I'm going to guess school is CLOSED tomorrow.

SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN: Has he become Raz the Rumphumper?!?!?

My family and I currently have three cats back home:

Shana (obviously not hard to guess her sex, atleast for most of you), Raz and Dinky (both MALES). Raz and Dinky are brothers.

As I was talking to my mother the other day, she put me on hold because she heard one of the cats crying in the kitchen. When she got inside, low and behold, what did she see before her very eyes? Raz vigorously humping Dinky on the kitchen floor.

With Dinky crying at the top of his little kitty cat lungs, and Raz coming out of the closet along with his incest delights, my mother grabbed Raz and separated the two immediately. No more incestual homosexual cat rapes in that house anymore!

With my mother playing the mediator, as well as making plans to get Dinky and the little fudgepacker neutered, the harmones should slow down and Dinky, with many years of counseling and psychological therapy, should finally be able to live in peace.

While reading this article, you need to ask yourself a serious question. What is the world coming to when a friendly innocent-looking pet kitty cat turns into a homosexual incestual feline over night??? Within the last 48 hrs, neither cat was available for questioning. As for Raz, maybe a name change is in order.

Perhaps "Incest" Lester "the Homosexual Molester"???????

"Meow" will never again sound quite the same as it did before this article.

Professors from outer space!

My mood right now is a mixture of agitation and humor.

Where do they get certain professors from?

UNBELIEVABLE! I swear, they come from different planets. Has anyone ever had a professor, whom you ask a critical question to concerning the subject matter, and they respond with a blank stare???? Almost to the point when you question whether they're any smarter than the ceiling you look at when you lay down in your bed and look straight up?

The stuffed animal that my girlfriend got me for Valentine's Day looks more intelligent than my professor does when I ask him a question pertaining to important material. We took another one of his "unannounced" tests today! Yup, the unannounced test that Mr. Genius announced for us on Friday.

His words in class last Friday, "You will have another 'unannounced' test on Monday"..... Wow, thanx buddy. Now go ahead and give us another one of your dopey, screwball, Homer Simpson facial expressions.

Lord knows I need a good laugh on the way back to my dorm.

BOTTOMLINE: Next time you ask your professor a question that you feel is simple for him to answer, and he gives you that look, that means:

He's your professor +

he knows less than you, the student

= YOU'RE F&%KED!

Well, I do have a finance exam tomorrow, so I must get back to studying for that exam. I got to keep my focus. I must make the high grade on my first major exam in this class. Wish me luck and toss me a prayer. I shall return soon.

Stay tuned! Stay patient!
