Life Of The Confused

death by electricution

ok so i almost killed myself today. I was installing a new vent over the oven and i set everything up perfect. I tested it after i was done and the light and the fan worked fine. But as i was putting the cover back over the wires, for a split second i forgot that i didnt turn the power back off and since i wasnt paying attention the the end off the cover touched the grounded power wire and a pretty big spark sent me flying back a couple of feet. It was pretty funny cause i didnt get shocked or anything i just flew a few feet instead. When i looked at the cover a good piece of it was charred and burned. dont know how i survived that one but its all good.

So just 5 more days untill we move into our new digs, cant wait to get out of this condo now into the new house, its so much bigger and roomier. It will make life and marriage alot more enjoyable.

So i guess i need to add a bit of babbit wisdom to this blog by the request of gary, so i suppose ill leave you with this. Dont tug on Supermans cape and dont pee into the wind…….that all i can think of right now…..peace….

temptation is a jerk and Mexicans

Well today we finally decided that we were going to get rid of some of the mass amounts of clothes the two of us have before the end of the year so we can donated them to goodwill and be able to write it off on our taxes. So we did exactly that, so according to IRS rules you have to take an inventory of what you are donating and value how much you believe the item to be within a certain guideline amount. Then you donate the clothes and get a receipt from goodwill. So if at any point you get audited from the irs you need to be able to show what you donated and the receipt from the organization.

Well Before i continue let me allow you to step inside my brain first. God gives us all gifts, and it depends on how we decide to use these what we do with them. God never takes them away, however if we decide to use them against his will that never good thing. Take for example the idea of physics, God may very well have given these individuals the gift of prophecy however they have chosen to use it for their own use.

I say all this to say that God has given me the gift of discernment, which basically means that i am able to analyze things and people going on around me very well, many times i am able to see any and every outcome of a given situation before it happens. Thus many times in my life i have taken advantage of this gift God has given me and used it be sneaky and deceitfull. And in all cases i come out the way i wanted to and not being caught. However this past year i have really put an effort in changing everything about me and living the life that i am always telling others to live.

Ok so back to the goodwill store. So me and Danika do everything by the book and we go and donate our clothes and give the exact amount that we brought. So the next person in line comes up and says he just donated some clothes and needs a receipt. The clerk asks “how many bags did you bring” and the guy says “8″. Now granted i didnt see how many he brought, but what if he only brought 1, and got a receipt for 8 and claims a huge deduction on their taxes. when i started thinking about this my mind started going where it used to go and i realized how easy it would be to get away with it. then i came back to my senses. So i end this with say that temptation is trully a jerk.

And finally ill end with this. Me and Danika were talking about how we are going to decorate the new house and everything and mainly how we need to paint the entire house. I trully expressed my disdain and utter hate for painting and then i came up with a wonderfull Idea, Day Laborers!!! Theres a perfect spot in New Brunswick where all the mexicans hang out and wait for someone to come and get them for work. I can go and get 5 of them one day and knock out the whole house. Granted i have never done this before, i just hope they dont conspire to kill me or something since im guessing they dont speak much english…. Wow im starting to sound mad racisit, i think ill go to sleep now..peace

Santas not real, but i like his style….

Santa was very good to me this year. I got a nice fat check from the parental units, which is going towards buying a washer and dryer for our new house. Besides that i got a new GPS for my car which i love. Its the Garmin NUVI 350, very hitech. Danika got a NANO, some tiffany jewelery, a new coach bag, and a bunch of other girly things.

So it looks like we found the house that wr have been looking for. Its in New Brunswick right by Rutgers on Rt 18. Its a 4 Bedroom, 2 1/2 Bath townhouse. Its amazing, i love it so much, ill put some pictures below for viewing. We should be closing sometime in the end of January. Im dying to just go now and start moving our stuff in cause its so much nicer than what we have now.

Right now im in PA with Danikas family for Christmas dinner. its a 2 hour drive back home and its gonna be little scary driving back on a full stomach that far, i might not make it back, If i dont, the first one to read this can have all my stuff. Peace…..

Ey yo rocco,

Ok so i went out last night to see Rocky Balboa. The 6th installment in the Rocky series. For a huge Rocky fan as myself i have mixed reactions. Part of me was thrilled to be able to say i wwent to see a Rocky film in the theatre since i was too young for the others when they came out. However the other part of me was saying that it just isnt the same as the old one were. For the most part the whole movie was a recap of everything that happened in the old ones. I think it was a good try but just somethings should be left alone. Ill stil buy it on DVD when it comes out though

asleep at the wheel

ascendhigher — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 03:16:17 +0000

Well yeah its been awhile since i posted on here. I have been very busy with alot of things going on un my life. Right now me and the wife are trying to figure out how to live the rst of our lives with this up coming baby before it gets here. I absolutley dont want to be living where i am right now when the baby comes. its not that where we live now is such a horribe place its simply its too small and i dont want to be moving once the baby gets here. The only problem is that i have been so blessed to be raised in the most expensive and highest tax rate area of the entire united states. Between the 2 of us we can pay for a very nice house, but as i look at homes in just 1 state away in either PA, or Delaware its amazing how much of a difference the prices become.

Well enough of that. Well in 2 weeks i have to go to court. The wife and i witnessed a crazy accident on the way home last weekend. We were in Edison on route 27 stopped at a light, the light turned green and the car in front of us pulled off. No more than 500 feet later, the driver feel asleep and slowly started drifting into oncoming traffic. Im blowing my horn to wake him up but it isnt working. Then he slams head on into a brand new lexus rx suv. So i pull over and hop out the car and rush over and make sure everyone is ok. I called 911 and got the police over to the scene.

The funny thing is no one was hurt , thank God, but when the driver that feel asleep got out of the car, he had no clue as to what happened, yet his eyes were blood shot red. So the officer took my statement and told me i would be supeaned to testify, which i received in the mail yesterday. So im looking forward to that since it would be a free day off from work.

Well i think thats it for the night, got work in the morning. Good night..

old yeller

ascendhigher — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 01:51:59 +0000

Today was an odd day at work. We just moved into our new building yesterday and everything is quite crazy. It almost feels like they are sending us out into the pasture to shoot us like old yeller. We have no walls anymore so everyone can see what everyone else is doing. This really sucks since now i cant finish my work extremely quick and stay on the internet for the rest of the day. So previously i could listen to a audio-book on itunes in my ear but i now i have to resort back to reading the old fashioned way.

The only good thing that has happened there is that they told us that we can take anything that we want from our building and keep it for ourselves. When i went over there i want finding any of the old chairs and dirt stained desks too appetizing. But i did fall in love with one of the meeting room tables. Very nice mahogony cherry wood. It will make a great dinning room table. So i claimed it for myself. Then i tried to fit it in the car and realized why it was probably still sitting there.

If you have never lifted a 7′ slab of pure mahogony, you havent lived! Its crazy heavy and i didnt want to destroy my back so im coming back tomorrow to get it.

Thats about it for today, getting reay to watch Law and Order SVU.. Peace

Another No,No

Ok well i took a couple days off from writing, but im not sure why, i think i just got lazy.

Friday we went into the city to take my mother in law out for her birthday. We surprised her and went to a live tapping of a comedy special for Whoopi Goldberg.

It was pretty cool, it was really enclosed only about a 100 people or so and she was right in front of us. Ive been to tappings of other comedy central shows but none of them were like this. But let me make a confession of something that i did. The way it works is that there is this website that you can go to and it list all these different shows that want people to come out and be in their audience for free. So you sign up print out your ticket and have to make sure that you are there by a certain time. Well we left 2 hours early just to make sure that we would get there on time, but due to the traffic we pulled up just after 7pm, which was the cutoff for getting in. However i have been to these tappings before so i knew a little trick. If you come to a show and you dont get in they send you an email and tell you to write “VIP TURNAWAY” on your ticket and they put in first. So with no other choices to make and not wanting to spoil her birthday i unfortunately did a nono. I lied to one of the producers and told him that i had been to one of the other shows and received and email to write the magic word on my ticket. So of course they pushed in front of everyone there and brought us inside. I felt real bad but i didnt know what else to do. So please God forgive me!

Im really trying hard not to act the way i have in the past. Its not good for me, its not good for my wife, and its not good for the child coming.

Ok well that was friday, Yesterday i didnt do much. I was scoping out some nice plasma TV’s im thinking about getting. I have toi make a decision today because i have a crazy coupon for Best Buy that expires after today. So im thinking about getting this nice 61″ JVC Dlp HDTV that is on sale. Its actually an open box item, these are the best, theres nothing wrong with them so they mark them down since they were returned, and they give you like a $100 gift card along with it. So i have to make a decision before i leave for church or i wont have any time later.

Ok well thats enough. Danika is cooking breakfast and i can smell the bacon. Im out………..

No Private Parts Yet

ascendhigher — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 01:16:30 +0000

Well today was a nice day, Danika was scheduled for an ultrasound appointment and i was able to get the whole day off from work without using one of my vacation days. I was actually just alerted to this program that my job has by a fellow employee. Come to find out we get 10 extra days a year that we can use if we need to take a family member to the doctor or if your child is born, stuff like that. I never knew about any of this and im really pissed, i would have been using the heck out of them throughout the year, but its all good, i had a nice day off at home.

We went to the doctor to finally find out the gender of the baby, but he wasnt able to see its no no place. The baby had its legs closed and it was facing the wrong way but he said he was leaning toward it being a girl but couldnt give us a final answer for sure. So we have to wait a little while longer untill we can get it done again and hopefully the baby will cooperate this time.

Well this evening i stopped by a certain individuals house that is going to be selling it through me. Its quite a unfortunate situation, the husband and wife are getting a divorce and its a real bad situation. The wife has the kids now but i really dont think that she should. When i went over there tonight i could totally smell weed all over her, and she was trying to act as if she wasnt high. Very sad, and in situations like this you really feel bad for the kids, as this will effect them more than the parents realize.

Well thats it for tonight, Prison Break is on and its the fall finale,……….Peace!!!!

Connexion

ascendhigher — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 02:53:55 +0000

Well today we went to the connexion service for the first time. it was pretty good, really excited to start helping out however we can. It definetly needs some help in getting people to come, it almost feels like it is basically on the verge but its just missing something. Maybe we can fix that.

Well after church we went to the inlaws house and had some slamming ribs. while we were there Danika played the video clip of the Michael Richards comedy club drama. I hadnt seen it in its full entirety like that and it was quite disturbing. To hear everything that he said and for him to then come out an say that it was just his anger is a little not realistic. Far be it for me to judge anyone, but if i did have the right to judge i might have a few words to say.

Well Kevin came up to me today and asked me if i was still writing music or not. It really got me into the mood to start, i havent written anything in awhile ad i think i might start picking it back up. Well tonight im gonna continue my quest of watching the Star Wars Set again, tonight im on Episode II.
