Thug Life

2009-02-09T11:28:35Z

Hey, what's up everyone? or should I say anyone? Nobody fucking uses this shit anymore or at least they don't to the degree that they did in high school. It's as though everyone has entered the real world and stopped caring about the little people on live journal whom they told they're innermost thoughts and desires(well at least what they were up to anyways). Well I assure you that I have not forgotten, but merely been lazy/busy as I assume most of you have been, except you Waldkirch(I had to look that up on Facebook to spell it right, sigh), god bless you for being so diligent. Anyways now to proceed as per usual:

I still live in the same house as I've been living in, and things are actually going quite well. Alex our new roommate has worked out reasonably well, considering our completely random meeting. Regardless of a few negative aspects, we all seem to get along, so what more can you ask of a roommate you've never met before living with people like us. On March 1st Ryan is moving in, but no one is moving out, so we'll have five people living here which I'm interested to see how that plays out(probably well, especially considering the discounted rent).

As for school I'm in the second semester of my Sophomore year at the moment, and the plan right now is to graduate in December of 2010(making the actual time spent in college exactly 4 years, but total time to graduate 5 1/2 years). I'm taking 18 credits again this semester, and my classes are for the most part surprisingly interesting(except fucking statistics). Aside from school I have also decided to start learning guitar(with Ryan's help), which I started about 3 days ago. The going is slow, but I feel pretty excited about learning it, so hopefully I can stick with it. Things on the job front are absolutely no where, because aside from that summer job, I'm not working while going to school, so I'm not doing anything in the job department...

But now it's getting to the point in about a semester or so when most everyone I know my age is getting that coveted "degree" they have all been striving for(except for the chosen bums who live in this house and everyone I know who goes to UWM(the college of quicksand)) and I myself am left with at the very least a year and a half to go. Part of me regrets that decision to drop out for two years oh so long ago, but then I realize that I would never be the same person I am today if I hadn't. I mean the fact is, none of us would be who we are without the decisions we make, so I don't care if I'm on the four year plan or the six year plan, I'll graduate eventually. It's a rough and stupid path I've chosen, but it's my path, and no one can take that away from me. So to all of you people who have stuck to your four year plan and are graduating or have graduated you have my congratulations(Kudos to you for being a good student!). And with that said, you can take it all and shove it up your ass, if I could do it all over again, I would do it all exactly the same, because it is the path that I chose and would choose over all others, and because I'm not someone else, I'm fucking TONY MARINO!

Sincerely,

Anthony A. Marino

P.S. No offense people I like...

P.P.S MARINO! MARINO! MARINO!

Need Roommate...

2008-05-20T22:24:07Z

Hey, if there is anyone on here that knows of someone who needs a place to stay on the east side in the next two weeks, we desperately need a roommate. Pat is moving out at the end of may and we need someone to fill the room, otherwise we are totally fucked, so you people find some other people, or something and give me some help here...

Summer Maintenance

2008-05-10T04:07:32Z

So I just got an e-mail saying I got this summer maintenance job out in Brookfield at this church. They are offering me $9.50 an hour and it's full time, and also they are willing to work around any scheduling conflicts I may have, but at the same time I don't know if it is worth the gas to drive out there everyday. Right now I am figuring what the hell, because I don't have any other job prospects for the summer, but perhaps I should try and negotiate for a slightly higher pay rate to like $10 an hour or something. I really don't know what to do here. Thoughts?

School is over in a week

2008-05-06T07:24:26Z

Well, school is almost over, thus theoretically ending my freshman year at college. Three years well spent I'd say...dammit. Anyways, I am just glad to be in a position where I have no obligations, and I only have to look forward to summer plans. Speaking of which, Kevin where the fuck have you been man? You haven't come over for some time now. I understand if you have exams and such as do I which end on May 14th, but after that I want to see you a hell of a lot more. We have darts, pool, and bowling to play, and not to mention the drinking, by god the drinking. This post seems to have divulged into more of a message to Kevin, well whatever, I will leave it at that.

21... almost.

2008-03-12T23:08:05Z

Man, I'm turning 21 in four days. I think lately I've been getting really anxious about it, which is peculiar because for the last 20 years I haven't really given a shit about it, but now that it's right around the corner, I'm really looking forward to it.
Also, having these like hour or 2 hour periods in between classes really blows because there's like no reason to go home, but sitting on campus bumming around sucks as well.
Oh yeah, I'm having a party this Saturday to celebrate my birthday/St. Patty's day, so if you're reading this, you're invited and feel free to bring whoever you want, as I don't really give a shit who comes and am always interested in seeing new faces. Of course anyone who reads this is probably already coming anyways, but either way come and have a good time at my house

Well that went terribly...

2008-02-29T16:16:03Z

totally lost in court today... looks like I have to pay.

Man listening to music while doing homework is literally the only way I can motivate myself. Ironically I'm writing this live journal post though instead of actually finishing the homework I have... Absurd.

I want to do something

2008-02-05T10:17:52Z

I want to go on a road trip, go on a cruise, go sky diving, make a movie, win the lottery, live with out worry, be ridiculously ripped, not have any responsibility, do all kinds of random drugs, have all kinds of crazy new experiences, make new friends, and just fuck around for the rest of my life without a care in the world.

This train of thought has been particularly prominent in my mind this winter, mostly because every time I have some sort of amount of time to do something, I just waste it doing nothing. radioalice.com, go there, there is a contest for making a 3 minute movie that I want to enter, and I want to fucking win. I don't have any ideas for a movie though, I need help, and I want anyone and everyone to help me. Who's in? Who's in for doing anything? I want to fucking do something... God dammit

Spring 2008

2008-01-22T21:35:23Z

Well it's the first day of the semester, and it looks to be a promising one. However, something ridiculous appears to have happened with my schedule. I just got out of class like 15 minutes ago so it is now like 3:30, and that was my first class of the day. Then the next class I have is at 5:00, which sucks because I don't know what I'm going to do with myself for the next hour and a half, but aside from that the class I have at 5 is my calculus discussion. Which makes no sense because I don't even have a calculus class until 6 right after the discussion. Thus, bringing the question to mind, what are we going to discuss? Looks like it's going to be a lot of boring introductory bull shit to waste my time with. Yeah so anyways, enough of this, I guess I have econ homework I could be doing...

Good Day.

2007-12-18T03:27:25Z

Well, exams are going well for the most part, however I'm completely screwed for this advertising in American society class tomorrow. It's completely my fault too, because I missed the last 3 lectures which is what half the exam is on, so yeah... Damn. My plan as of right now is to hope via guessing, I do moderately well. I'll study what I have, but the outlook looks grim. What really sucks, is that this is a seemingly easy class, and I've done well in everything up till now, but as a result of my poor attendance rating, it seems as though I've screwed myself.

Rats...

Snow Day Today...

2007-12-11T15:27:26Z

well very good, and back asleep I go...

Damn

2007-12-07T00:58:47Z

So my car got towed today, because apparently it was in front of this guy's driveway, but if you look at this diagram, you can see it was bullshit and not my fault...

From here you can see that this guy had only shoveled part of his driveway making it seem like my car where it was parked was not blocking the driveway, but apparently this guy's driveway was twice as big as the garage door, so he had me towed, which was total bullshit. It's not my fault this guy had only part of his driveway shoveled. That guy can go fuck himself...

Anyways, they towing place isn't open late enough for me to go get my car and contest the towing of it today, but tomorrow is another day.

I need to tell someone about this fight last night and get it off my chest....

2007-12-02T22:38:57Z

Basically, some show went to commercial and pat took the TV remote and muted it and said if I wanted to change the channel/unmute it I could grab the other remote and I said I didn't want to do that and I asked if he could just unmute it so I could just watch the commercial instead of sitting there in dead silence he said no because I had established the rule of whoever had the remote could decide what the channel was or whatever and so that was why he was just in muting it and keeping it muted... so I said fuck that give me that remote and I grabbed for it he also grabbed for it we struggled with it for a minute felt it cracking and it broke in half also i think pat's calculas book got damaged maybe but I think it's fine pat got mad at me I said fuck you something along those lines and there was some sort of back and forth exchange, anyways I apologized he said I wasn't sorry and to my knowledge did not accept my apology then I went outside and smoked and went to bed I haven't talked to him since in some attempt to mend it I went online and bought a new remote but other than that... I mean I apologized I don't know what else I can do...

You guys should probably hear pat's side of the story, but I think I told a pretty accurate portrayal of what happened.

Anyways, in the end, should I have done that? No
I was fucking pissed off and I let anger get the best of me I guess, but I would like to say that I am still angry at pat not only for for the remote breaking, but just a lot of stuff, mostly the fact that he didn't accept my apology, so that's a shame. I wish nothing had ever happened, but it did...

I need feed back on this people.

Die Hard 4-a-thon

2007-11-20T15:07:49Z

So today, Die Hard 4 comes out on DVD, and I plan on buying it as soon as possible, so if you don't have anything better to do and feel like watching Die Hard 4, come over after 7, and you'll get just that. As per usual, anyone and everyone is invited, I don't give a shit... just don't bother me about the mess.

I'm not racist, this is a project I had to do, take from it what you will...

don't. Are you racist?
6. Do you have any certain behavior with which you show respect to others?
7. How does ______ affect your leisure?
Your gender? ...
Your age? ...
Your status in society? ...
Your physical abilities? Is the fact that I'm Jewish going to have anything to do with these questions?
8. What does Judaism offer or limit that impacts your leisure activities? Nothing. It's a religion.
9. Are there any more opportunities for leisure available to Jewish people than anyone else? If you like fucking bigboobed
Jewish chicks, absolutely.

fuck? Nothing.

human beings. Stop being racist.

Jewish Interview Summary
To find out what differences, if any, there are in the leisure practices of the Jewish people, we interviewed Michael Kleiman who volunteered to answer a few questions about his leisure life. Originally from Milwaukee, Michael is nineteen years old and currently attends Florida State University. Right now he is planning on going into psychology and pre-med. Also, he has worked part-time at a local Starbucks near campus for over a year now. After being asked what he typically does for his leisure activities, Michael described to us generally what he does in his leisure time. Before school every day, he works out for one hour, then proceeds to go to school and generally his day is topped off with a few hours working. Finally after work, he takes some time out for himself. Michael’s leisure activities during the week include practicing guitar, playing video games, hanging out with friends, and just watching plain old television. He made a point of telling us that he actually really likes to play card games, because it really gives him and his friends a chance to relax and talk while playing a great competitive game.
After the initial introductions were out of the way, we got down to the more pointed questions, to see just what exactly the differences if any there are in a Jewish person’s leisure. Surprisingly, it turns out that there are not really any traditions, values, beliefs or attitudes in Michael’s life that have any impact on his leisure. Michael says that really Judaism as a whole for him, does not really impact his leisure at all in any respect. There are no taboo forms of recreation in the Jewish culture that Michael could think of, unless you were to say, as Michael joked, “Play guitar in a full service at the temple.” “Much like any other religion,” Michael said, “Judaism, promotes a very healthy leisure lifestyle.” Michael really did not have anything negative to say about the Jewish culture as it relates to leisure. He said that there were any differences between his own leisure activities and ours.
An interesting point Michael made when we asked him whether or not there are resources in our community available to respect specific culture’s traditions, he mentioned the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Whitefish Bay. He told us of the many programs that the JCC has to offer and that when he went there when he was younger, he was completely overwhelmed with the amount of programs and other such things offered. Of course he made sure to mention that it is not just for Jewish people, but in fact it is open to anyone who wants to join. From what he could remember, he actually had nothing but fond memories when he thought back on the times he had spent at the Jewish Community Center.
Finally we asked if there was any additional knowledge that can assist a healthcare professional when serving individuals who are Jewish. In response to this, Michael made a point of telling us that Jewish people are absolutely no different from anyone else, they simply practice a different religion rather than some other religion. Thus, there was really absolutely nothing that Michael could tell us that really separated Jewish people from anyone else in terms of leisure activity. Really, Michael’s leisure activity does not differ from any of our own leisure activities, and in many ways we are a there is a certain similarity between us and him. So if there is one thing that we took away from this interview, it is the fact that Jewish people are absolutely no different than anyone else and practice the same leisure activities we all do.

This was part of a project a group of my peers and I had to do, I feel like less of a person for having completed it...

I don't even know why I wrote this and posted it...

2007-11-08T14:17:05Z

I don't think I'll ever be able to "not procrastinate" on things. I mean it is just so easy to not do things, but then everything just gets so fucking piled up that every now and then there is some death night where I have to stay up all night and do shit so I am not totally fucked. I guess I just work better under pressure perhaps. Man I wish I wasn't so fucking lazy or that I would win the lottery, that would also be fine.

P.S. Is anyone that reads this Jewish or do you know someone who is Jewish that I can possibly interview for a group project I have due next week?

"You're not sending me to the cooler"

2007-10-10T10:52:33Z

Man it feels like it has been summer for like ever. I don't know why, but it totally has to me, but now it's fall and it will soon be winter. While it is only 47 degrees out right now, I still feel like it is pretty fucking cold outside. The worst part is that it only gets colder. Oh well, I think I still like winter better than summer, only because I don't like being fucking hot.

Anyways, I finished my marketing paper, unfortunately I don't have anyone to like show it to, so they can critique it and what not because it's like six in the morning. Well it doesn't matter that much because it isn't due till Thursday. The reason I have to do it this early, is because I have a math exam today, and a history/marketing exam tomorrow. This week can go fuck itself. Anyways I'm tired and terribly unprepared for the bulk of the exams I have ahead. I don't know why I waste my time doing this shit. Anyways I'm going to sleep.

Go fuck yourself PETA

2007-09-27T17:33:16Z

So, we had a speaker from PETA today talking about what their cause and shit is. Man they can go fuck themselves. They're just a bunch of bullies with their fucking scare campaigns and using the exploitation of women to help prevent the purchase of fur. After listening to this speaker for an hour, all I can do is feel bad for the little man here. That little man being the fast food corporations we have all come to know and love. Good work KFC not giving into any of PETA's bullshit, stick to your guns.

P.S. Fuck PETA

the seemingly never ending river of toilet paper has run dry...

there is almost a plague's worth of fruit flies swarming over dried up ketchup and overloaded trash bins...

the shower upstairs remains unfixed...

utilities and cable are at the moment unpaid...

...it is going to be a cold winter for bum house.

P.S. Our lawn has been mysteriously mowed over the past few weeks, and we aren't sure who is doing it. Good work though mystery person...good work.

2007-09-20T05:44:21Z

I feel like I'm going to fail this marketing quiz. I mean I went over everything that I was supposed to know for the quiz, and like I know it and shit, but I just don't have a good feeling. Man, like it's a multiple choice/true and false quiz. I'd better fucking do well on this shit. Damn you marketing if I get fucked over tomorrow. Well at least I totally aced this math quiz I had today. Welp, I have no reason to post on here. I just felt like it because I was at my computer...

Back to School....

2007-09-18T18:37:54Z

Man, that not wanting to go to school feeling almost got the best of me today, but somehow I still went. I mean I have to admit, this is way easier than like a 9-5 job, so I shouldn't be having any problems, but I'm so terribly lazy. Still though, I'm keeping up with my shit, my only regret is that I don't own a fucking printer. I can not express what a bitch it is to not own a printer in words. More over, I'm getting real sick of my English teacher giving us the exact same English assignments over and over again, I mean god dammit, at least give me something new to read or something, I'm sick of writing about fucking Harry Houdini, I've got his fucking biography practically memorized.
So school is going well...
Oh right, the beer brewing was a surprising success. The beer came out better than I could've imagined. Mostly, because it wasn't poison, but also because it tasted pretty good too. I still need more people to try it and give me feedback though. Um, yeah that's all I can think to write about for now, but perhaps I will post again in the near future.
