Random Phrases

Ever have just a random phrase stuck in your head? You could be driving and for some reason you get a phrase stuck in your head that you don't know where it came from, then it turns out its part of the license plate in front of you. Well I woke up with the phrase "hugging with my lips"... WTF does that mean!? oh well leave your thoughts below...

Fat People

I am a fat guy / big guy / tall and 'stocky' or whatever words you want to use. I am starting a job soon and figured I would go buy some new clothes. Try to give myself a fresh look to go with the fresh job. Seeing as how I am a big guy 6'5 I need to buy tall shirts so I don't look like I am wearing a mid-drift. I recently went in to the Big and tall section at JCPenny's and there were 4 different types of shirts:
  • Plaid
  • Polos
  • Hawaiian
  • "Big Dog" shirts
First off, plaid? Don't get me wrong I have plenty of plaid shirts, but you can only wear so many before people refer to you as 'that plaid guy'.

Polos are fine, just not a big fan of them. Its like a T-shirt and button down had a retarded baby that didn't know what was what.


Hawaiian shirts... Who ever decided that fat people liked Hawaiian shirts. I have two, they are my "OMG I have nothing to wear... what should I wear... " shirts. Maybe cause fat people are jolly, and you are jolly when you are on a beach in Hawaii?? I am also Jolly after beating up a hooker, playing with a puppy, eating a steak, Christmas morning down by the tree in my PJs, or playing a video game. However these activities are not necessarily the best shirts to wear.


Lastly, "Big Dog" shirts... we have all seen these. I am fat, He is fat, She is fat, we can all see this, its not a secret or something you can really hide well... its just a fact. This being said we do not need to publicize this by wearing T-Shirts that say stupid shit with this big dog, or shirts that read "I'm Fat, and your Ugly, but I can loose weight" Things like this give fat people a bad rep. Whatever happened to just solid colors, or non-retarded t-shirts. Hell, why not just have the same retarded t-shirts as everyother company, just make it a few sizes bigger.

This is even the same at the big and tall stores. Where the specifically focus on 'big and tall' guys. I mean seriously, get a better freakin selection, like some stripes or solid colors, or plaid is alright, just some different options... Hawaiian shirts... no never, just don't do that.

I'm IN!

So I am now 'moved in' for the most part. All my worldly belongings are in my new Apartment. You can find pics here. Also there is a video here. Now I just have to wait and wait and wait some more till I start making some money, to pay off the debt I have come into from getting a new place and the bare essentials needed for living (bed, plates, internet).

New Apartment...








So I am soo close to figuring out my new apartment, I just don't know which one to choose...

First we have RidgeView. Costs 1630 a month that gets me:
  • Covered parking
  • Built in AC units
  • Built in washer dryer
  • Built in Dishwasher
  • 652 sq ft
  • nice neighborhood
  • nice area
  • 'scenic view' (pretty nice)
  • 1 bed
  • 1 bath
  • 1 kitchen
  • 1 'living room'
  • bay window
  • looks like it has a sense of community
  • 20 minute bus ride and 5 minute walk from work
  • Feels a bit 'far' from white plains
  • no utilities included








Then we have this place downtown for 1250 (+ 100 bucks for a car spot in a municipal building a half mile down the road)
  • Real close to work (about .5 mile)
  • I can get FIOS
  • around fun things.. cause its right downtown
  • more of an apartment area
  • gas included
  • studio apartment
  • feels smaller than the other place
  • no in room laundry
  • no dish washer
  • doesn't seem 'as nice'
  • must park in municipal parking (that extra hundred)
  • no air condtioning
  • hard wood floor
Link to Maps C is 1630, B is 1350, A is work

new everything

new job, new apartment (right now a hotel room), new feelings. At the risk of sounding Emo, (which I assure you I am not). I feel fine, then I think "When do I go back home, I miss my friends" At this point reality hits and I think, oh... I am home... well then I guess I will... um... I dunno...

I know your thinking WAAA WAAA go cry me a river and unpack all that sand from your vagina. Its just weird not knowing ANYONE or the surounding area. When I moved to Rochester from
Buffalo it was somewhat the same except for 3 key differences
  • The area was spread out and easy to navigate
  • I had Reslife training immediately after I moved in which forced me to meet and be-friend 12 new people.
  • If I needed to I could drive back home and see friends.
Whatever, I am just bitching / complaining. I know that after a while it will become better and the sadness will fade. But if the sadness I have from missing my friends fades will that mean I don't miss them any more or I have just learned to deal? I wake up thinking "Oh I wonder what X Y or Z is doing... oh wait.. " Its weird and it sucks. I am half tempted to move back to Rochester and take a different job. But i know if I do that I will just hate myself for doing it and for passing up this opportunity that I have in front of me.

I am not looking for answers, nor am I looking for pitty or advice. I just want to voice my opinion on whats happening. Maybe if I write what I am feeling, I will feel better.

Well my water is boiling so now its time to stop this writing, go and make some dinner.
