subj= lecture and lunch


Nothing better than getting free lunch with an interesting lecture on schizophrenia.
mmmmm Cannoli...mmmm

subj= time w/ the fam


I have no better time than the time I spend with my little brother and sister. They are growing into young people so quickly and I'm just happy to share with them any new experiences and perspectives I can. I don't want to shape the way they view the world. It's more that I want to make sure they have enough options with which to make the best choice they can on their own.

We spent all of yesterday on a mountain in the elements and as close to nature as I sometimes feel you can get. Maybe some day we'll go camping. Now that'd be fun.

subj= reading

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

An excellent story of following the journey that one desires to reach fulfillment in life. A quick read in most people's estimation, but a tantalizing story of adventure, perseverence and realization.

Highly recommended.

subj= the legend that is favre


The man is a living legend. It would have been fantastic to see him go to another Superbowl.
Alas, some things are not meant to be. I just hope whoever makes it kills the Patriots.

subj= whatta game


Both the Panthers and Patriots games were fantastic. Dbuble overtime must be gut wrenching.

subj= damn it's cold

2degrees for the second day in a row. I haven't been nowboarding yet this year, but there was no way i was going to go up a mountain today when it's 0 degrees at the bottom. People have got to be crazy.

subj= last of the christmas presents

My lil'sis finally got her Christmas present today. And she loved it. I'm a happy man now. Simple pleasures make simple happiness.

subj= restaurant contracts and offer amendments

So i venture to this restaurant which we have a "coupon" for a 25 dollar discount off of dinner for two. The coupon is from 2003 and valid for 2 years, but when we got there on jan 5th, the manager had the hostess show us their new "contract" effective the day prior that now required the dining party to be at least 4. Now while I'd like to believe that anyone buying thier certificate in 2004 should be held to this new "contract," why does my 2 year note now get ammended to their new agreement. To increase the sour note, the establishment was empty early into a monday evening, with the exception of staff, and the manager would not come disappoint us himself. Although the menu was dilectable, we opted to dine elsewhere and contemplate returning with the required party volume. I was very excited to go to this restaurant MASA , initially, their menu is fantastic, but I think even though I'm still looking forward to experience the art of the chef, I don't think I'll be promoting the establishment.

subj= QOD

The quote of the day should become a more frequent entry, as will word of the day. These won't be overly frequent as they will have to be words or passages actually used or seen during the course of the day without researching.

You need not think alike, to love alike. - Francis David

subj= GO ZEKE!!!


The NY Knicks just made a bid to get Stephon Marbury.
Also in the mix Anfernee Hardaway who is good but never proved to be as good as he could have been.

Out: No show McDyess, Who knows why we got him Eisley, and someone that will actually be missed, formerly known as the best quarterback in NY, Charlie Ward.

How long have knick fans been waiting to get an actual point guard. Somewhere old 33 is crying. Mutombo..you can still bring a championship in for us man.

Break out the old jersey's , I may have to get one for Stephon.

Woohooo!


Stephon to NY


Zeke heat check

subj= mass mass transit sux

The T (mass transit in massachusetts) has put in full effect its raise in fares today. 90 cents for the bus and 1.25 for the subway. The things blow and are seldom as clean as they could be. The buses are barely reliable especially to where they are used most and they only introduced bus to bus transfers within the last year. I hate the T.

subj= automobiles


wow...it almost makes me want to buy american


The Pontiac Solstice
