Sorry for all the lame posts lately. I bet nobody cares about my shotgun updates, because frankly, you have no idea what I’m talking about. So I finally got off my lazy ass, and put together a couple of pictures for you to drool over.

Jenn and Al came to Cornell to visit this weekend. It was seriously the best weekend ever. I love you both and you both need to come back soon. Then after they left, went to semiformal. So here’s the requisite mini-recap:

+ Wings and Russell Peters with Jenn, Al, Johnny and Jerry
+ Chilling in the living room plus Wendy and Drunk Steph
+ My Sassy Girl with Jenn into the wee hours of the morning
+ Pigs in a blanket!
+ Woke up at noon, like normal college kids
+ Lunch at Aladdin’s where I ate like a million portions of pasta
+ The uber last minute tour of campus
+ The two statues in the arts quad
+ Tea and fraps at Bear Nasties
+ “Chilling” at the bus stop for half an hour
+ Uber shopping at the mall + shopping at Tops
+ Al cooked enough of her delicious Shrimp Scampi to feed a small army (or 8 hungry college kids)
+ The UBER clay party. 32 amazing sculptures.
+ Jenn, you are the freaking uber talent at clay sculpting.
+ Attempted another late movie with Jenn. Unsuccessful =P
+ Lunch at Pita Pit + a missed bus. Puahaha.
+ Chilled for another 2 hours with the best people in the world.
+ Al and Jenn leave :(
+ Off to the semiformallll…

And here are a million pictures of this awesome weekend!

Who’s a busy beeee?!?

Aww… look at the happy couple!

OMG. Who is that fag?!?

Just kidding. I’m actually a pimp. Really.

More pics on ofoto. Email me / IM me if you want to see them. Hokay, that is all. Back to studying for my final now. HARHAR.

We all know what xanger is for, right? Xanger is great because you are able to read your friends’ most innermost thoughts and opinions. Yeah, right. We all know the real reason for xanger: PICTURES! Enjoy.

First of all, I must say that Wendy and Christina are the awesomest. They made this for me. Notice a resemblance to anything? :D

And so the wrapping begins…

Smile for the camera beeyotch!

You bastards…

Oh well. Might as enjoy myself…

And if you thought that wasn’t enough of a spectacle. Here’s a movie of Mike jumping over the bound Clarence. :P

I was actually planning on staying in this weekend. But then, since everyone else was dressing up, how could I not? So I threw together a “costume” in about 5 minutes (with Johnny’s help). So the un-matching shoes, shirts tucked into boxers, one folded up sleeve, a faux faux-hawk, mismatching colors, pants tucked into sock, fly open, and sunglasses at night all worked out pretty well I think. Except for the fact they everyone kept on trying to grab the bit of green peeking out of my crotch. RAWR.

Har. We are t3h awesome.

Here’s a list of the costumes:
Clarence: “The Uber Fashion Faux Pas”
Dennis: Quailman (from Doug for those of you who don’t remember)
Dave and Ryan: Peace Restaurant employees
Galen: Peace chef
Steph and Ann: Gangsters
Christine: The Gangster boss
Nicki: Victoria’s Secret Angel
Johnny and Jin: A matching couple… AWWWW
Koichi: The lazy businessman
Wendy: Getting ready to sleep…
Christina: Just took a shower…
Joann: The color black
Dustin: A high class manwhore (can’t you tell?)

Forgive me if I have forgotten you…

I’m trying to not start this off on a depressing note. But it must be said, the summer is over. That sucks the big swinging monkey balls. It really does. But mucho <3 to everyone who made the summer uber awesome. We really lived it up this summer and we ended it beyootifully. You know how we do.

I’ve pretty much given up on hiphop/rap this summer. It just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Well, except for tonedeff, qn5, cunninlynguists, etc. I just can’t handle mainstream rap anymore. Its too… dumb. (This is where all the flames begin. Bring it on bitches!) What’s good, on the other hand, are uber good bands such as Postal Service and the Shins. By the way, props to glow for catching the Such Great Heights reference in my sharing on Saturday night.

I miss you guys like the flowers miss the sun. And lovely_lime, chen0r, and r3no, I miss you most of all. Stop telling me you’re going through withdrawal. For I am doing the same. I love you guys.

So the coming school year is almost upon us. Sometime in the next week, I will drop over $500 on textbooks that I will barely read, I will attend classes that I will never stay awake in, and I will stay up much later that I should. But thats college for you. Whoopdef*ckindee. Lets hope I graduate this year.

Oh yes. Shaun of the Dead was awful. Don’t go see it. The trailer pretty much sums up the whole movie.

Another “oh yes,” gonna see Garden State on Wednesday again. Can’t waitt.

nICE time!

Last night, went to Lynah for CSA’s ice time. It was some of the best fun I’ve had in a while. Jerry dressed up like domokun, and Helen dressed up as Neleh: hardcore thug. She’s the next best thing. I swear.

It sucked that Jerry didn’t win just because nobody knew who domokun was. But Neleh was noice as always and hooked up the free bbt. :D

Yeah, so here are pics from the fun fun event! (Courtesy of Johnny and Dennis) Check out these movies too: domokun rox0rs!!!

Domokun at the costume contest!
Domokun in the street!
Domokun running through the halls!
Domokun buying paper bags from Tops!

Voicemail

Hey, wsup!
<3 second pause>
Yeah, I’m not here right now, leave a message

Heh. How many people have I gotten with this voicemail: people thinkin’ I actually picked up and so they start talkin’. But not Tony. Here’s an excerpt from a message he left me:

You gotta change your voicemail, you’re not fooling anybody. You gotta have a professional voicemail bro, you’re like 20 years old now what if someone calls you for a job offer….

LOL. He’s a funny guy.

Dearest Department of Parking and Transportation Services:

I truly appreciate your obsequious display of affection and your kind generosity. I simply adore your attempt at cultural diversity in practicing the Chinese tradition of exchanging red envelopes or hong bao’s. It is certainly a generous and gallant act. However, being of Chinese descent myself, I would like to bring light to some venial errors in your practice of these traditional customs. When exchanging or presenting these hong bao’s, it is customary to leave money or small tokens of wealth inside, NOT slips of paper requesting money. I do believe this was an inadvertent err on your part and am still flattered by the mere intentions of your actions. However, I do look forward to receiving the monetary gifts you intended to include in the little red envelopes. Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,
Davidian

LOL. Dave is one funny dude. Good writer too. Check out his xanga.

Happy Birthday

Happy early birthday to my lil bro Mogan (his bday’s 10.27) drop him a happy bday note. :D

Happy 14th g-moe. :D

Yesterday, Denise, Amy, Jack and I took Robert Koffie, a brother from Ghana, out on a pseudo-tour of the city. We took the Staten Island ferry as the ghetto way of viewing the Statue of Liberty:

Then we made our way to Southstreet Seaport where we did a little window shopping and a little BBTing at Sago.

Shocker of all shockers: I’m getting tired of Matcha. I hope its not all BBT.

Then off we went to Ground Zero. Just a picture fest. Take a gander at my SST pics for my Ground Zero pics. Off we went on the subway (Robert’s first time!) to Times Square, where we saw Jackie, Kristen, Kai, and some other chick I don’t remember (sorry :-)). After some Sbarro it was off to Rockefeller Center and Brookstone where we got massages from the cushy chairs. :-D

Then we realized we had had a little too much to drink during the day. Off to Sach’s Fifth we went for their niiiiiiiice bathrooms. So me and Jack were waiting for the elevator after using the bathrooms, when this guy comes out of the elevator and goes “Hi guys!” Jack turns to me and goes, “that guy looks madd familiar!”

Unable to place a name to the oh-so-familiar face, I ask one of the many camera men on the floor, “Who was that guy?” Turns out it was Deion Sanders. Which of course brought out my digital camera and a “Mr Sanders? Would you mind taking a picture with us?” Guess what the answer was:

So seeing Mr. Sanders at Sach’s Fifth kinda delayed us a bit for the Westside meeting. But we managed to get there on time. After some great food and a great meeting, we all took a group picture, which I think came out pretty well. All you westsiders, if you want a greater resolution picture (1280×960), email me. Oh yeah, that was my last Westside meeting too. Boohoo.

Check out the ill group picture!!!! :-D

And another thing, I fixed the Blue Man Group picture, Mark pointed it out to me that you have to view the picture on photo.net first for you to view it on other sites. Ha. I thought I was gonna mooch off of them. Ah well. Its pretty amazing how I got 6 comments and 9 eprops from a picture that didn’t exist :-D

Very niiiiiice. Ike, Gideon, Saint, and Ray.

Pics from last night’s Eastside Home meeting are up:

“WE GOTTA PEEEEEE!!!!”
“ok, who left the toilet seat down?”
“yo, whaaaaaaaaaat?”
“Clarence! You forgot to flush!”
“I’m herbal essences!!”

Ha.
