Old School Mates & Myspace

Okay, I'll have to admit my real age to make a point here. It's been 10 years since I've been in High School and most of those days are a blur as I tried to avoid it while there. So if we went to school together and you find me on myspace, facebook or see me in the street and I have no idea who you are, don't take it personal. My point really is, recently I was on myspace and going into my high school search of people around my age and why do I only recognize maby three or four people only? And the ones I don't remember, remember me? and one who looks familiar actually looks 10 times better now than did ten years ago.
How was I in High School, well, I'll be honest and say I was sort of quiet, but always in detention for skipping classes, mouthing off to teachers if I felt they were in the wrong and once I was suspended after the cops came to the school with their sniffing dogs and found my bong in my locker. Which by the way, I found in my own basement and belonged to my mother from back in her day. Mostly hung out with the stoners and the other bad asses which would explain why I always got into trouble.
With the ten year anniversary nearing, no, I do not plan on attending, didn't like most of you mo fo's then, so why would I want to be in a room with you all again?

Happy Freakin New Year!!!!!

So Happy Freakin New Years Everyone!!!!! ...Let's see, I left Buffalo a day before just so I can go out and party in the city and have my champagne...but.....ended up staying at my apartment with the roomies, Wayne and Terence instead. High Winds, the cold kept me inside and then came the bottles of Vodka, Long Island Ice Tea in a bottle, and several cans of soda's rang in till 3am and I was still in party mode to go out but of course it was too late.
Tonight, I'm making it all up by going to my Thursday nite hang out for $2 Margarita's in Chelsea. For those of you who know the place already and see me out...you better say "Hi" to me there, don't email me the next day or two with "Hey, I just seen you at___" ....cause whats the point? I don't like that, say something to me in person, don't waist time emailing me "hello", I'm not going to bite your head off or catch an attitude in public, it's not my nature. But I will get annoyed with emails of "oh yeah, I was there, I saw you, but__" ...
Anywho, enough with the rants, I need a cup of coffee, black and no sugar.
