We emailed our realtor the houses we were interested in but he never got back to us. I'm going to call him to see what the deal is. These people don't seem to want to do the business. The good realtors are the annoying ones that call you five times a day. I'm also going to give the other lady a call.

It's been a boring week. Holly and I went to the library on Monday with Jeremy. Besides that, I've been in the house all week. It's been cold and miserable and raining almost every day. I finally got paid for the hours I was missing. They gave me a separate paycheck with it. About time. I beat KOTR the other day. The boss battle was the weakest i've ever faced. You get him down to half power and then he runs away and he heals and you do the same thing five or six times. While battling him the whole time, you can pause the game and use a med pac and that's the way I won it. The ending wasn't great either. I was reading the spoilers online and I was pissed that I missed a few side quests. I thought I was hitting them up pretty frequently but by not bringing that chick back to her planet when I first met her, I missed all the side missions in my party. Oh well.

Three day weekend coming up. Can't wait. AJ is off again tonight. Dennis said we could start at 11:30 if we wanted. I probably will. I wanted to try to go mountain biking with Chris tomorrow. I have to buy the bike rack so we can take his car. Mom and Dad had their anniversary on Wednesday. I was planning on trying to go to dinner with them but I didn't. I still have to get them a present.

Pre-Approved for House

Joe didn't come into work last Tuesday and Wednesday after leaving early on Monday. The days weren't too busy and we got that kid Jason to come down and help us. We got out of there early on Tuesday (but I extended it to 8:30 after speaking to Bill) and 9:00 on Wednesday. Aj and Tyler came in at 1:00 on Thursday night and left at 6. Tyler went and worked the hub for a few hours and AJ worked the city when he got there but he didn't seem to do much work. Joe and I got out of there at 10:00. I had to load pain in the ass trailers that all had to be crammed in. There was 42 bills for one trailer (cargill that had to be triple stacked and decked) and Tvs that all had to be broken down. Friday AJ and Tyler weren't in. Jason came down again to help. We got out of there at 10:30. Ended up with 4.5 for the week. It seems I finally got my hours fixed. After going to Bill again last week with my paystubs, there was an e mail from Dale saying that I was owed 5.9 hours and .7 overtime. We'll see what happens on this paycheck.

Nothing much happened during the week. Holly tried to wake me up one day to go mini golfing with her and Jeremy but I was too tired and didn't get up. She took him and they had a good time. I called a random Mortgage company on Thursday to get pre-approved but the guy said we had to prove our income by faxing him some documents. I called Century 21 the next day after Holly saw an add online for Century 21 Mortgages. I got pre-approved quickly without having to show any proof of income. They hooked us up with a realtor in the area and he called us and sent us some listing. Nothing too great. We have to e mail him back what we're interested in.

The Xbox was acting funny on Friday night before work and I thought we had the same problem as befoer and that dad would have to fix it. It was sparking and it seemed to generate no charge to the unit. I figured dad would have to toy with it again. I got up on Saturday and called Mom's and Chris told me the 360 was dead again. I flipped out. Jeremy and I went to Mom's and I found out that lazy Chris didn't plug in the AV cables and the 360 was fine. It just blinks red to alert you your cables aren't in. The original blinkes orange if the cables aren't in. I also plugged in the Xbox at home and it turned right on so hopefully both systems are good to go. I'm at the end of KOTOR and want to beat it. I've still been playing FF7 and I think I'm near the end of the first disc. I like the game and story is good. The random battles are getting old but the different enemies make it a bit varied.

I hung out at my house for a few hours. Showered, ate dinner, and played around on the computer. I got my stuff together and came back to Holly's on Saturday night. We made love, ate popcorn and watched some of the behind the scenes of the Star Wars. I've been in a mini Star Wars kick but have only read about 50 pages of the book from the library. Holly and I are going to watch all the original movies together. I tried to get the Star Wars Encyclopedia from the library but we couldn't take it out because it's considered a reference material. HA! We woke up Sunday morning early for hockey. We stopped at Walmart to buy earplugs and then went to BK for breakfast. Hockey was jammed full of people. I thought I played well and I skated hard every shift. One of my bearings broke and I put a different wheel on but I definitely need new wheels. The mini bearings make if difficult to find wheels that are well priced. I had a few goals at hockey (including one garbage goal in which the puck stopped right on the line and I pushed it in) and I had a bunch of assists. I felt strong. There were a lot of people there and we played 5 on 5. After the game we went to Aunt Mare's and I took a shower. We hung out and watched TV before leaving to go get lunch.

We went to Panera for lunch. I got the Italian sandwich and it's very very good. I found my ultimate sandwich. Much better than that jew chicken sandwich. We went to Best Buy to kill a few minutes and then headed to Jersey. We both got nervous in he cara nd thought we mght have missed the show a bit but I called Chris a few times (annoying him every time) and we found out we were right on track. We did well with directions and didn't get lost at all. We got there when the Hooters were playing and they sucked. We sat on the lawn and relaxed before going to our seats for Everclear. They were good and I liked their set. For the last song they got a whole bunch of girls on stage to dance while they played. It was annoying because all these chicks started pushing up to try to get on stage. It was still general admission at that point and we had to leave our seats to come right back to them. It was pretty asisine. Staind sucked and I fell asleep for a few mins while they played. STP came out and put on an good show. Scott fucked up a few times while singing but it's only the second tour date so they're probably still working out all the kinks. They played most of their hit songs. We both thought they were good. We walked back to the car afterwards (almost couldn't find it) and got on the highway (Holly spotted the sign at the last possible moment and were off with no hitches. I was tired driving home. I stopped on the shoulder and pissed and we headed home. We were both hungry and stopped at the rest stop for some Mcdonalds. The cunt working there was stupid and after I ordered they changed the menu to the breakfast menu (bastards!). Holly drove the rest of the way home and fell right asleep. We got home around 2:30 and went directly to bed.

Weekend Continued, Mikey's Birthday

Went home and Chris suprised mom by staying out on the deck for about ten mintues before coming in. She was happy and she sounded like she was going to cry for a minute but either I was hearing things or she got past it. She pretty much figured out he was coming from clues that my dad left. Ate dinner and hung out. Watched some of the Red Wings game. Mom got me Grand Theft Auto 4 when she went shopping. I called Tim and made plans for him to come over at 10. I started playing Grand Theft and fell asleep while playing. Tim called to tell me he was taking Dustin to hockey and mom told him I was sleeping. I called Holly to ask her to take Jeremy. I slept from about 9:30 to 4 and then got up. I fucked around the computer for a little while before starting to play Grand Theft. I couldn't hear in the room with air conditioner going so I brought the Xbox downstairs and played. Mom woke up and watched me play a bit and kept gasping whenever I'd hit someone or lose control of the car and flip it. My turn to drive hockey. Ryan was at Christine's graduation. I didn't play very well at hockey. I scored one goal and had at least one assist. I had two breakaways that I fucked up on. I was going to do that move where you go wide right all the way and then put the puck in with only the left hand on the stick but i screwed up. I also tried to do a mini toe drag to top corner shot but missed. Came home and played GTA. Chris didn't end up going to dinner with us. Dad came home early. He got my mom a card that was supposed to be from her children. He liked it because it played the horse racing song. I wasn't looking forward to going to the buffet on Mother's Day. Thought it would be too crowded. Met Aunt Mare at Big Daddy's and then followed Mom to the casino. We got in line for the buffet and there was a TV that said estimated time 7:00. They were telling people to come back at that time but after waiting about 10 minuets to pay, we got right in. We didn't have a waitress at thetable and mom had to complain to the manager so we could get sodas. The food was good. I tried a spicy tuna roll and didn't like it. I ate a little of everything and would definitely like to go back again. Dad gets so excited seeing all the different foods they have. They didn't have any ice cream for desert which was the one thing that sucked a bit. Aunt Mare gave me a 100 dollars for my birthday. We went to gamble after that. Mom tried to give me 40 to gamble with but I only took twenty. I played video poker for a bit and then went to the slots. I lost the 20 plus 15 of my own cash. The machines weren't paying out at all so I got aggrevated and left. I came close to getting a mini jackpot. The line above the pay line had a direct match of all 3 3x mulpliers. I've never seen that before. If I would've pulled the lever a milli second later maybe I would've gotten it. Came home and was really tired and fell asleep. Slept for about 12 hours. Woke up and hung around most of the day. Holly and I took Jeremy to library. We rented "Into The Wild" and "Transformers" and "Bee Movie" for Jeremy. I also got the Dark Tower book one and the next book in the Star Wars. We came home and hung out the rest of the day.

Joe left early Monday night with a swollen face and didn't come in on Tuesday. Massimo got hit in a face with a strap in his trailer and broke one of his teeth. I went to Bill Wednesday morning to try to fix my hours but he didnt' do anything. I tried to speak to him about going on another shift but he didn't seem to pay it any attention. He did tell me there was a bid coming up so we'll see what happens in the next few weeks and get it all worked out.

My birthday was nice. I got home and Holly made me a very good western omelet. We hung out and looked at houses online. She had done some research the night before but I didn't like anything she came up with. They were all older homes and too much money. We found a few houses we liked in Kunkletown, one that's especially nice and we're going to go look at it hopefully at the end of the week. Jeremy woke up and I opened my presents. He picked out a Sid figure from Ice Age. Holly got me a package of undies and Dale got me a certificate for the Boat House near the house. They got me a card that sings that Jeremy picked out. I took a shower and went to bed. Holly suprised me with Chinese for dinner. The chicken fried rice sucked (no flavor) but the lo mein was good. We ate and then took Jeremy out for a while. We played Teeball and Football before coming in to watch Transformers. Jeremy watched most of it with us but he got bored at certain points and left the room.

Holly's Graduation

It was another nasty week and I didn't get to take Jeremy outside except for Monday. We went to the basketball court and played for a while. Then we came home and ate lunch and we went out to play int he yard for a bit. It was too buggy to stay out in the yard too long so we headed in shortly after. Another week at work. Joe missed a day because his brother had a stroke. I got credited for 2.5 additional hours but didn't get the five that I needed. I spoke to both Jeff and Dale about it but it hasn't been resolved so now I have to speak to asshole Bill. I have to speak to him about my shift change as well. I still have to see what we're doing about the Stone Temple Pilots concert. We originally thought it was on a Saturday but somehow we were both mistaken and the concert is on a Sunday. I even got my mom to watch the baby overnight so we could get a hotel and took the day off work but we got fucked. Nothing notable happened the rest of the week until graduation. Woke up at 4 and headed down there. It was a nasty rainy cold night. I brought the PSP with me and played while we waited. The graduation was boring as usual but not too bad. We went to Friendly's afterward. It was nice and quiet when we got there but then the Junior Prom arrived. Dale was sitting against the wall that connected to the front door and the kids kept pushing it into the wall. He screamed at these two spanish kids and they apologized and were cautious of the door until we got out of there. I got a burger and it didn't have much taste. Got home ten minutes before work and headed there. Joe had to leave early to go to NY and Jack was in the office the whole night watching videos for his OPS position. They sent a few guys to help us but they just bayed everything and didn't load the trucks. They fucked up a crate and packing peanuts were all over the dock. AJ and Tyler left at lunch and by the time I closed all the doors, got pallet jacks and swept up a bit it was 10:45. Got home and called my house and was told to call dad. Dad wanted me to pick up Chris to surpise my mom for Mother's Day. My plan was to go to the mall with Holly and the baby to get Mother's Day/Graduation presents. We shifted plans to go to the Steamtown mall so it would be easy to get Chris. They didn't have a JC Penny in the mall. Holly bought a few pairs of undies and a Bra. She also bought a necklace and engraved our initials on it. We ate and took Jeremy outside looked at the trains. We walked along the big deck to the end and back. We're going to go back and go to the train museum with Jeremy in the near future. We went and picked Chris up and headed to Holly's. We played Tee ball with Jeremy in the yard for a little while before I took Chris home.

On Thursday morning after work, Jeremy and I made Holly a cake to celebrate her getting a job. He helped me stir the mix and then frost the cake and decorate it. I tried to write on the cake while the frosting was still wet so the writing didn't come out too well. I was getting tired at that point and wanted to go to sleep. Got my paycheck on Thursday night and noticed they shorted me out of five hours of straight time. I was going to speak to Jeff about it but everytime I went to do so, he was busy. I planned on waiting until he went into his office but he left early and I didn't get to resolve it with him. I went to worthless human resources in the morning and of course she couldn't do anything. I don't know why she works there. I explained to her how many hours were missing and she left it for Bill. He called me and said he took care of it and to see Dale when I went to work that night. I get to work and there's an e mail for Jack that says it was fixed and that they added two hours forty five minutes of straight time and forty five minutes of overtime. I'm still short two and a half hours!! The fucking center manager can't even do simple fucking tasks. On Thursday night that fucking lazy asshole fag from maintence was bringing down a skid of soda that was all fucked up and Tim asked me to get a trailer or somewhere for him to put it. I dont' know how these people advance in the companies if they can't use simple logic. Tell the fucking kid to break down the skid and restack it. If he doesn't, someone from the city will have to. I was the one who had to restack it. It really pissed me off and I have no respect for almost all management there. Friday night I was talking to AJ for a minute and we were watching the hostler back up into an open door and he slammed the trailer directly into the back of another trailer. Pretty cool. Didn't get out of there until 10 after 10.

Went home and woke Holly up and she gave Jeremy a bath before we left for my house. I was getting tired and tried to take a nap before we left but Jeremy kept coming in crying and screaming that he wanted to go Nonny's. We got there around 3 and mom wasn't home yet. I hooked up the game for Jeremy and hung out with him. Mom got home from shopping and I took a shower and went to bed. Holly woke me up at 7 and she wanted to go out. I didn't feel like going out and told her to come to my house. She cut a slit out of her eyebrow and had to go buy some makeup to cover it up and then she came to my house. We hung out downstairs for a little while. Jeremy was complaining that he didn't want to go to bed and wanted to sleep with us but after a few minutes of asking, he went to bed with mom and dad. We watched the two episodes of weeds that I downloaded and then looked for houses and apartments online. We found nice ones in Bushkill but Yahoo! maps gave us shity directions and we were fooled into believing that Bushkill was halfway between Allentown and Pocono Summit. It turned out to be wrong and we wasted our time doing it. We have a lot of work to do with getting a place and it's no doubt going to be stressful. Holly left my house at 2 or 3. I didn't do anything much after that. I started to get a bunch of games for the PSP and fell asleep playing FF7 at 4.

Tim decided to come back to hockey. Of course he didn't get along with his baseball coach and couldn't take any criticism the coach gave him. It was Tim's turn to drive. The marathon was going on and we couldn't get down 940. He went down 611 and then turned at the Tannserville Inn. We didn't know where to turn to get to Big Wheel and we ended up going in a complete circle and ended up back on 611. We got to hockey late and there was hardly anyone there. The teams only had 5 people each. It was Dave's last week which may kill the league because he brings his son and the other kid. I have a feeling attendance is going to dwindle like last year until there's almost no one there in the summer. I hope we can continue to play. Came home and watched the game. The refs are so fucking fixed. The rangers played decent but couldn't get any momentum going after the bullshit 4 minute major at the end of the game and going into overtime. Flyers fans will see how fixed it is in the next series. After the game I brought Jeremy over to Tim's to play with Dustin and Dacy. He played hockey for a little while with Dustin and then started to play with the Tee Ball. He really liked it and we'll have to pick him up one next time we got to the store. Tim gave Jeremy a Crosby stick he picked up when Dustin was a baby. It's really nice and I'm going to cut it down. Ate dinner and came home. I wanted to hang out with Holly but of course I fell asleep. She went to bed really late last night and didn't sleep before work so she'll probably come home from work and go straight to bed.

Didn't take Jeremy out at all last week because the weather was miserable. It's supposed to be better this week and hopefully I'll get to take him out at least once a day. It's still a bit chilly right now but I'll take him out in a few hours.

I got another chaffing rash on my dick last week but it seems to have started to heal.

Aunt Mare wants to move to NY again and went to look at an apartment in Staten Island on Saturday.

Holly got a job!

Decided to go food shopping after work on Wednesday. Got home from food shopping and found Holly and Jeremy were both still sleeping. I went outside and rode my bike for a little while. I took it around the community and through the woods for a bit. Got home and checked the star nut and found it was almost completely out of the fork. I banged it down with a hammer. I hope it doesn't keep giving me problems. I forgot to bring my shock pump home so I don't know what air pressure the shock is set at. They seem a bit tender and I was worried about bottoming out with them. I have to add more air to them. They're too squishy to get any momentum going. I started to play Final Fantasy 7. I'm only past the opening sequence. Seems decent enough. Couldn't get Flow to work. Holly woke up and started to get ready for work. SHe was wearing khakis and I told her to wear something more formal. I stressed her out telling her to change her outfits. I played KOTOR a bit and went to bed. Holly woke me up when she came home. SHE GOT THE JOB!!!! 29 DOLLARS AN HOUR!!! Allentown baby!! That's 20,000 more than Pocono Speech. I'm proud of her and hope she likes it when she eventually starts. All the years of waiting are finally almost up. We're almost out of here and in our own place for the first time. I'm counting down the hours. I hung out for a while and then helped Jeremy play his game. I was really tired and started to fall asleep while playing. I told him it was time to turn it off and he threw a fit. We both fell asleep and Holly woke me up and I went to work. Got around 40 minutes overtime.
Didn't really do too much on Saturday night. Hooked up the electric guitar and tried to play for a while but I can never get it to sound right. There are too many different options on both the amp and guitar pedal to get a nice crisp alternative sound. I attempted to play Shaiya again and I like it more than I did the first time. My first character is on the original server, which lagged quite a bit. They just made a new server and I created a new character and it took away some of the lag issues. I chose a mage in the both of them. It seems like a game that's worth the investment of time. I watched the first period of the Philly game but as usual, couldn't get into it. I played a bit of Oblivion and got myself a badass horse that rides like lightning and gets up on its hind legs and fights with you. Not bad at all. I got bored and tired and went to sleep earlier than normal.

It was my turn to drive to hockey on Sunday. I got a surprise when Tim didn't walk into the car. Ryan told me he was done with hockey was trying out for baseball. It seemed to come out of the blue but the last few weeks he's been frustrated there and he's probably tired of it again. He does it every so often, just like Chris. I used to do the same. I didn't play that well at hockey but i held my own. Had an awesome deflection goal and at least one assist. I had a few shots on goal but none too great. I was rushing up on offense and made a pass and suddenly had a sharp pain below my ribs on the right side. I immediately came off the floor and sat. I pulled a muscle down there and it was killing me. I did manage to finish out the game but with pain. Stopped at the hardware store on the way home and bought two nuts for the bike. I came home and watched the Rangers game. It was a disappointing game. They didn't play with any of the ferocity that they played with in game 1. They sat back and play more of a defensive game. They didn't have the offensive pressure they needed to win the game. There were some bullshit calls (Crosby diving, Staal playing with a broken stick, and the potential Rangers goal that was whistled down on the way past the goal line. The next game is on tonight and I hope they start to play tonight at home. It's either do or die tonight. Hung out the rest of the night. Tried to make dad help me with the disc brakes but he basically modded them the way I was doing it. We only got the back down and I quit on the front. I installed the new nut and then had a loose headset that took some time to get ride of. I put the new bolt on there and it wouldn't come out. I was banging up on handlebars and it knocked the star nut upwards to almost the top of the fork. I have to knock it back down before I go riding. Mom made me eggplant for dinner. After dinner I watched King of the Hill and Simpsons and came home. I took some Naproxen when I came back here and it knocked me out. I play Scooby with Jeremy a bit and passed out in bed.

I was planning on going for a bike ride Monday morning while Jeremy was sleeping but it was raining. I woke up with Hollly and move my car and stayed up and played KOTOR. I had to stay off the internet because she was expecting a phone call from the job in Allentown. I played for a while and then wound up falling asleep while playing (I think from the Naproxen again). Woke up after about an hour and a half and played a lot of Scooby Doo with Jeremy. I tried to get FF7 to work but it didn't happen and I didn't go online for more than fifteen minutes total. Jeremy and I did well in the game. Around 4 we took a nap and woke up when Holly got home. Didn't do much the rest of the night. I read about the PSP and found out what steps I have to take to play the new games. I got Flow and FF7 but neither work without a new firmware. I quit playing Grand Theft. Work was ok even though I was in a bad mood. I got an hour of overtime. Came home and started to download the firmware with a download accelerator I got last night. Doesn't seem to work too great on low speed.
