Saturday night I worked and then went to Koke's cousin James's for some drinks and playstation. His brother got engaged so we took a couple shots in his honor and tried to beat frogger which is an absurdly hard game. Farkas stopped by for a little and it was a nice night.
Yesterday was probably my favorite day of 2011. Drove over to Greg's, took a bike ride down to the industrial park, such nice weather, first bike ride since my syracuse trek. Biked back to his house and went outside and sat on his old swingset. His little brother and sister came outside and we played volleyball and then I taught them SPUD which is this really old street game I used to play when I was like 7... so nostalgic and amazing haha I also really think our group could enjoy playing it a lot. Then his mom cooked us a delicious dinner and I sat in on my first Salwen family dinner in a long time. After that we drove down to Dennison to play some rainy frisbee. Great two games. Met a few really nice kids through Nicky's core group of players and I'm really amped on smithtown getting back into the action when everyone comes home! Anyway, went back to Salwen's and watched some of this movie that seemed awful, then Konrad came over and we chatted and talked about music and scoped out some equipment, I am ALMOST positive I'm picking this bad boy up within the next couple weeks :

Seems really swell. Then Berger came over and Kenny came over eventually and we endless youtube looped and chilled and chatted. Konrad and Eric dipped out and me and Kenny and Greg sat and talked and played guitar and whatnot, then went for a walk to the sandmine. The fog was so thick it was like we were standing on the edge of the planet and the faint lights looked like far off stars. We soon discovered that there was an INCREDIBLE cyclical echo that bounced from every point around us in a circle. It was creepy and we couldn't stop screaming into it because it sounded just as amazing and unbelievable every time. Walked back and improved a song about people bullshitting and it ended up being really jazzy and hilarious.
10 days til Binghamton trip. Then Weber comes home like 9 days after that. Then the cascade of amazing summer of 2011 begins. So amped.

So this break has been nothing but sick so far. Saturday after work we all went to Omar's for a classic hookah session, and it was awesome as always. All the Bing people showed up except Rob, and Farkas and Koke and Kenny were there also... did our usual bullshitting, caught up, talked about our most recent adventures, held a trial, talked about girls, smoked a lot of hookah... people started clearing out and eventually it was just me, Greg, Kenny and Omar, and we chilled til like 5 am.
EDIT!
Took a while for that one to encode. Hehe.
Sunday was sick frisbee, I don't think anything happened prior to it, I might have been working. I took my brother and his two friends to this game, it was cool and I'm glad to be taking my brother around with me nowadays. So we had a great game of frisbee, it drizzled lightly but no one minded, then me, my brother and his two friends, Greg, Nicole, and Lindsey went to the dunes at Long Beach. It's been sooooooo long since I've jumped those and the feeling is still so incredible I love it, if anyone hasn't done it, they need to come do it this summer or something. Climbed the big entry-way tree and sat on that and chilled for a little while. Then we went to 24 hour bagels and ate and Kenny and Greg came over to chill for a short while. Solid night.
Monday night I believe Greg came over. We went to Steve's house... me, Omar, and Greg. Danielle made an appearance for like 5 minutes, what a hoe. Played ping pong, watched American Psycho, some of Zombie Fest, got a lot of snacks from walgreen's and pretty much just chilled as hard as possible. Pretty sure I just went home that night.
Tuesday I went to Greg's after his Passover dinner, enjoyed some Matzah ball soup of course... then we planned out the megabus tour. It's 9 days in total and we go to Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, Chicago and St. Louis. Booked our tickets and it's going to be amazing. Went to Home Depot and looked up pricing on some supplies for this project Greg wants to do, then visited Kenny at work. Met up with Farkas and drove to my old neighborhood. Took a late night walk through the woods to Little Italy.
Haha my video-ing has been so shitty. Damn. Had some great talks and a great walk. Met up with Kenny at Greg's, booked the tickets for megabus tour, then headed home.
Wednesday afternoon it was beautiful out so we all went to Maple and played basketball and kickball and frisbee, solid day of sports. Me Greg and Kenny walked down and got free pizza and Ralph's, then went and picked up some spray and some supplies so we could get working on some stencils. Came back here and drew up a bunch of things and I cut mine out and gave it a test run and it looks pretty cool. Zahava came over, Rob and Steve came over, then we all went to Omar's for a bonfire session. Finished my bottle of whiskey and had a nice cigar and had a wonderful time. Ended the night with a Wendy's session and Omar took me home. That was a good night.
Last night Koke came over and we were gonna play frisbee but it got cancelled, so we ended up just hanging out and playing CoD and getting McFlurries. Farkas met up, we went to 7/11, wanted to go stenciling but I didn't. I'm so pumped on it though.

I need to make it so that the things that I rationalize in my head, I actually commit to and follow through with in real life. The rational me I create in my head would fair a lot better in the real world than the real me.

4/2/11
Last night I went out to town to chill with Jackie. We sat in town like bums and drove around trying to think of anything that could possibly make the night entertaining. After a few loops around different parts of the town and a few scattered meet ups and awkward encounters, we sort of gave up and just went back to town. Went home at like 12:30 defeated again by my lack of social life.
Driving around we were talking and laughing and gossiping a bit, and this kid George came up, he used to live on my block back when I was in middle school. We used to skate and listen to music and sit on the curb after school doing nothing after school... I hadn't seen him or talked to him in about 6 year I would say, and I had heard he got involved in some real bad things, and I cracked a joke when his name got brought up like "that kid's still alive?" and as it turns out he died the other day. My face sorta went white and Jackie told me he killed himself or died of a heroine overdose or something to that extent... things like that always sort of hit me heavy for some reason. It's just crazy that we can all start up in the same place and be little innocent kids and end up so far apart in a matter of 6 years. It's a scary thing. Terrifying, actually.
Then I came home dwelling on it, and while the particular event didn't depress me, the thought of the 6 year concept stayed on my mind. I went upstairs to grab my computer from my brother sleeping in his bed, and when I took it downstairs he was still opened up to a facebook conversation that I'm not really gonna get into because I feel way guilty seeing it, but what I read combined with the thoughts I was having really hit me hard. He's growing up way too fast and it worries me so much and I don't even want my brother to grow up. I hate his friends that I feel like are pressuring him into doing these things, and I hate those girls who have tried to act like they're older than they are since they were in 8th grade, with drinking and smoking and having sex. It hit me really hard and I couldn't sleep and I kept thinking about going upstairs and just screaming at him, but I didn't.
I fell asleep and I dreamed about being in a room with all my friends and playing guitar and all of us making our own sound and everyone was listening or sleeping and just looking so happy and I was so happy. Nights like last night make me want to put my face to a pillow and stay in that dream.
