Grotto's is a pretty easy job. I get $6.50 an hour, plus $1.50 for gas every delivery, and then tips. I get the gas money in cash at the end of the night, and it definitly outweighs how much gas I actually use.
So now that I am making lots and lots of money....
1. Use tips as my basic weekly money
2. Have Grotto money direct deposited into an ING checking account that still has great interest rates.
3. Use my Dry Cleaning money for bills and whatever else is leftover save. I'll still be saving a lot from this too.
The only complaint about Grotto's is that all the normal people work up in the front of the store. In time I'm sure that I'll get to know everyone and it will be ok.
I am missing the Halloween loop because i have to work. I am kind of bitter about this. I have to work 4:45pm-3am saturday, and then from 12-11 on Sunday. In total 30 hours at Grotto's and 40 hours at the dry cleaners. I am going to be dead... but have lots and lots of money.
Today I delivered to a new special customer. This guy owns his own fleet of private jets and has like 3 hangers of planes. It's at the NCC airport, but apparently there are more private company's there than in Philly. Philly is mostly commercial airliners. Anyway it was crazy driving my car up to these huge hangers and driving by airplanes. It felt like a movie
Shawns house for some partying tonight, should be fun. |

over 1 year since last update
-New Car (2007 Honda Civic)
-Still at dry cleaners
-Just got another job at Grotto's
-Trip to Colorado
-Turned 21
-Went to Las Vegas
My old car died back in February and I ended up buying a whole new car. I don't know if i regret this decision or not, but I enjoy having a nice car.
I pretty much hate the dry cleaners right now, but I am tied down with my money situation. I need to pay for the car and school. I think I will be taking out loans and going back to school full time during the day. Since I just got a job at Grotto's I think i would be able to do it.
Mark Jr. graduated from college and is doing a 2 year stint at the Cleaners doing a marketing campaign in order to put on his resume. I really don't enjoy having somebody breathing down my neck 24/7 about stupid stuff that has nothing to do with the work that needs to be done. #1 reason for me wanting to leave.
Wilmington College is now Wilmington University. Not much of a change, but it sounds cooler.
I am going to try to update this stuff a lot more. I've just been really down lately and need a place to vent.

Well my life got back on track today.
First off in my last entry i talked about not wanting to talk about school. Because up until Monday i was taking the semester off and going back in the spring. I really didnt want to do it, but kind of put myself there. I had been wanting to check out the TV and Video program at Wilmington, and deciding what the hell, and applied for it on Monday. I had the day before found out that classes dont start until the week after next. I went in today and to check on the status of my application and ended up being able to register for classes. I signed up for some graphic art class, a graphic design class, phsycology, and computer science. I am so happy to be studying stuff i enjoy. FUCK DEL TECH. So hopefully after i graduate ill be a cameraman or video editor... they also said that journalism is involved if you want to be a TV anchor, but i dont know how prestiegous Wilmington is for turning out those kinds of people.
Speaking of videos. In february i made a video of my dog, dewey, humping people. Well Preston and Steve on WMMR are having a worlds horniest dog competition. I figured what the hell ill submit my video. Well they havnt had the competition yet, but i got an invite to go into the studio with dewey and have him compete in humping. My video was posted on their website as the example and they thought it was funny. I got a bunch of hits on youtube beacause of it. (check it out on www.prestonandsteve.com its the link that talks about the horny dog)
With those two last things, I'm glad that my movies arn't just going to be hobbies anymore. I really enjoy filming and editing that kind of stuff. So if anyone ever wants to make a movie or have me film anything, let me know.
This weekend our family is going up to Rochester for a family reunion. I'm excited its always really fun. We are going golfing one morning. My boss gave me the custom Titleist North Hills golf balls, so that was cool. Since the reunion is on my Aunt and Uncles farm, I'll prob do a lot of shooting guns, and riding the 4 wheeler. And getting drunk with family is a must at these events. Don't worry, my mom already mandated that I take my camera.
thats all for now. |

well its been a while since ive updated.
I've been too busy this summer, simply because it was amazing.
As of right now the depression will set in. Once again everyone is back at school. My school situation sucks. I dont want to talk about it.
But yeah, my ankle is pretty fucked up from a lacrosse game in the middle of july, i had physical therapy for a while, i thought id be fine and stopped going, but it still hurts.
Eagles start soon, i went to the pre season game against pittsburgh the other night.
Invinceible was a good movie, but it was a big let down because i expected it to be a GREAT movie. The ending was so anti-climatic.
I need another part time job for weeknights and weekend days. I was thinking about going back to best buy for the discount, but any suggestions?
I love fall weather and atmosphere, but this fall is going to suck so much, all i have to look forward to is prob one or two nights a weekend in newark. I hate living at home.
well ill prob start updating more now that i will have nothing to do in my life. |

Well this summer has been awesome, but it came to a sudden halt on Saturday night/Sunday Morning.
I will honor you with my tale.
It was a Saturday morning like most. I had just awoken from my slumber after a long night of partying. (I still want money for that shit, I only got a total of $5 for $70 worth of beer + $10 commission for my contact.)I didnt really clean up, i was planning to after our trip the next day, because i didnt have time in the morning.
Shawn Gibbs and I were headed to the beach! Shawn and I's parents were already there, hence the party at my crib the night before. I had packed everything I needed or so I thought. So the trip to the beach was delightful. But i realized I had forgotten my Insulin for my diabetes. I was sure that i had packed it, mostly because it is vital to my existance. It turns out that i set it next to my bookbag before we left, but i had not put it inside.
I was not too worried. I knew my bloodsugar would get high and i would have to pee a lot before i got home. I told my parents whom confirmed that there was not much i could do and accidents happen. We met up with some ppl on the beach, had a bbq at our parents campsite and returned home.
At this point my body was making me pee every 10 seconds trying to get the sugar out of my system. Thats what insulin does, it digests sugar, but my body dosnt produce any so i have to inject it. I started to feel kind of sick when we hit the newark area on our way home.
As soon as i got out of the car i threw up, but i attributed it to the undercooked burger that i had earlier. So i gave myself my insulin, and i was too tired to clean up from the party so i went to bed with the intention of cleaning up in the morning.
I woke up the next morning and felt horrible. I could not walk 5 feet without throwing up. I was extremly dehydrated, but i couldnt keep water or anything down. I was afraid to give myself medicine because my blood sugar could have gone too low without being able to keep any food down.
After a while i just decided to call my parents and see what to do, the called the ambulance to pick me up. BEfore the ambulance picked me up, i had realized that i had not cleaned up from the party. I proceed to call gibbs and leave a message on his phone, i didnt call shawn because i knew he was at work. I asked gibbs to help me out, but it turns out he left his phone somewhere and didnt get the message.
Anyway i was taken to the emergency room at Wilmington Hospital. I dont really remember alot because i was going into shock and then they gave me a sedative. Many IV's, needles, and blood tests later i was in the Intensive Care section of the hospital.
I couldnt eat or drink anything for one day. I could eat ice chips, they didnt want me to throw anything up. So i got all my nutrients via IV. The had to draw blood out of my arm every 4 hours for 3 days, my arm looks like i am a hardcore heroine addict. OH well.
I got in a lot of trouble because of the party, grounded for two weeks, but i guess the party was worth it.
I was diagnosed with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Its a pretty serious side thing from diabetes. The mortality rate is 10% and a lot of people end up in como. I am pretty lucky i called my parents an hour or two before i was unable too.
Basically the Ph level of my body turned to acidic, and my blood had so many toxins in that my body just started to shut down. Supposedly there is a lot of fluid in the brain too.
So after three days of being in Intesive Care, i am back in action. The doctors said that somthing like that is going to happen every once in a great while so i cant reall sweat it, but its still a really big eye opener.
So most of you probobly do not care to hear my bitching, but this was a big thing and the sickest ive ever been in my life. And i guess its just a reminder to take care of your bodies, because you are not invincable. |

so last weekend was freaking awesome. 3/3 on nights of getting wasted. And i loved it. I fell off a deck (on purpose, although if i was sober i wouldnt have done it) and now i have a huuuuuuuuue bruise on my arm. But battle scars are cool. I almost got in a real fight, i dont even remember what it was about, but it was crazy, but me and my boy both apologized so its all good, although it was crazy because i dont ever try and fight.
The lax championships were good. Too bad Virgina won.
Works been good, im making so much money.
I had some people over Wednesday night, we just chilled on my deck and talked, but it was so lowkey, i loved it. Then thursday chris and i tore up the brusters scene.
Last night i intended on having another lowkey night, which ended up being 3 people. It was beat, except for sitting on my porch and watching lightining, which was really awesome.
I signed up for summer league lacrosse today. I'm on the FCA team and i cannot wait for the season to start. Our team has all this really good former college players and shit. I need to order a new D-Pole online next week. Because there is no way in hell that I'm going to be a regular middie or attack. I'm pretty sure ill be running LSM, I kind of hope not because im not that in shape yet. But since our Defense is going to be really good guys from like UMBC and good DIII schools, i dont really have a choice.
my parents also called and said they were coming home today, so i couldnt help danny finish moving. I started to help him last night. I feel really bad, i know he is mad at me, but i had to clean and do laundry before the parents came home, and mow the lawn, which is only 1/2 done because of rain.
Tonight is going to be the shit, whopper warriors are going to fuck that shit up! |

alright, its 1:44am on sunday morning. I am pretty drunk right now, but this has been one of the best saturdays ive had in a long time.
Old Country Buffet Breakfast
NCAA Mens Lacrosse Semifinals
Party
all events occurded with one of my best friends shawn. Gibbs was not involved sadly. except for a little bit of the party.
Once again I am very drunk right now. This summer is going to be amazing, all i need is a girlfriend, then it would be perfect. But the way my luck goes with the ladies it wont happen. This makes me sad, but its reality.
Work is great. Full time, making lots of money, overtime is the greatest thing ever. I even get paid for monday, even though i dont work because i get paid holidays.
Im not sure if im going to the DII and DIII lax championships today even though i already paid for tickets. But monday i am def going to the DI lax championship between UMass and Virginia. Too bad syracuse lost today, its was such a good game.
I finally got a new camera, so watch out for new movies.
Time for me to sleep. |

Well summer is offically here.
I just sat down and looked at my yearbook from last year. It seems like HS was just yesterday. MY first year of college went by so quickly. Last year after graduation i started a new part of my life. Well after my first year of college i start a new one as well. Next week i will be working full time. in the fall im going to take classes at night. Ill do this until i decide to transfer to UD which is either in the spring, or next next fall.
But after looking at my yearbook, i was kinda sad, because it brought back all these memories. Reading what everybody wrote. I just hope that this summer lives up to its potential. I quit brusters because i no longer need the extra income with a fulltime job and signifigant pay raise. So i am up for pretty much anything at night and on the weekends.
Also, the lacrosse team. I am getting so frustrated with. I guess its because my good friends arnt on the team working their asses off. Its so frustrating not to suit up, go out on the field and play my ass off. Which reminds me of how awesome the seniors were from last year. I miss you guys, even though i see you on the weekends at UD somtimes. Come home soon, so we can chill. And we gotta play summer league together, seriously.
I feel like working full time is going to put me in a rutt. But i dont really have a choice.
Tonight is padua prom, which should be fun. Good way to start summer.
Tommorow night is a dinner play that im in at my church. Anything going on afterwards? |

im so pissed off right now.
So i havnt had anything to eat since like 2am last night, and its 4 in the afternoon today when i decide to goto arbys. Im pretty hungry so i get the 5 peice tenders, extra value size. I goto the girl at the register and tries to be my friend because im wearing a mt pleasant lacrosse hoodie and she goes there. Im like whatev i dont know you, and your a loser. So i order my meal.
I specifically ordered curly fries. I wait with my large soda while the put the order together. So on my way home i try to grab a fry to put down my urge for arbys for a minute. Immediatly as my hand touches the fry i knew somthing was wrong, she gave me REGULAR fries! i was pissed, but it wasnt a huge deal because i still had my tenders and i was to far to turn back just for fries. SO i get home and start eating more frys and get my tenders box out. I got out my BBQ sauce ready to lather my tenders in it. I slowly open the tender box to take in the glorious smell, but i only find triangular shaped peices of friedness. I realize that they are potato bites.
At this point i am super mad. But i am much to lazy to drive all the way back and be a dick to the people. mostly because im not that kind of person, but i am mad! And this food is not as delicous as curly fries and chicken tenders would be. |
