I have a dream

File under... Day to Day — mylo @ 12:08 pm

That one day I’ll have a backyard, with a lawn.  Where I can dig a huge deep ditch.  Where I’ll crawl in, and return to the earth.

This dream started last night.  Ever since last year I had a strict “No hanging out for more than a beer with my coworkers” rule.  I loosened the restriction for a bachelor party, I then realized that maybe they aren’t so bad.  They were just different from the olde maverick startup days.

Ok I decided to break out completely, and hang out for a night out.  My old boss was there, and to be honest we haven’t been tight in a while.  She sort of fucked me over, and said one thing to my face then talked shit to a higher up.  Needless to say I’m not exactly fond of her.

We got re-orged and she moved on to a different role, not before she told me in her own subtle way that I suck after I re organized my life for a solid month to handle a crisis, and pulled us out of countless jams before that month, and a few after.

Anyway back to last night, she comes up to me bums a smoke and asks, “do you feel respected now?”

The night went downhill from there.

Well maybe I am a teenage girl!

File under... Day to Day — mylo @ 6:39 pm

I’ve been sick which is good. It’s helping out my crash diet.

Fevers burn calories, hard work with the fevers sweat out the germs and fat. Only wish I knew what my target weight should be, doctors always neglect to mention what it is during check ups.

Why am I doing it? Well I have to be second best man at a friends wedding in February, which I so prefer than being the best man, but still I gotta look decent in a tux.

Then I realized that weight is going to be an important factor in Heart ‘o’ Darkness. Unlike cars moped’s have a much lower weight limit. So after doing some math, I figured I have to ditch some excess pounds, or the moped will have to do this solo.

Mopeds are stupid they don’t go far by themselves.

So I decided to kill calorie intake. So I’ve been eating one small meal a day. If I need more blood sugar, I have a coke or a coffee.

I try to incorporate more veggies on a regular basis, lightly stir fried. If I eat something that’s fried (i.e. dumplings from dumpling house) that’s it for the day, nothing else besides water. My stomach hasn’t been rebelling too much, so I think it doesn’t mind, and I don’t really need to be very active at work unless I go down for a smoke.

No it's not gay.  Not at allUntil I get a junk bike for the morning commute, I’ve been running up the stairs all five flights. The good news is that I can get to the 5 1/2 floor without passing out. When I can get up to the 6th with no problem I’ll start adding weight to the run.

Questions?

  • Yes I am practically killing myself for someone’s entertainment by doing this. I am very aware of that.
  • No Jess doesn’t know, and you aren’t telling her, ’cause I’ll kill you. Besides I don’t think she reads this, so I’m completely safe. Unless you rat, then again you would probably die.
  • Yes I do know Che’s buddy in motorcycle diaries was a little paunchy and his bike had to carry two people with all of their stuff. But that was a full fledged motorcycle, I’m talking about a small motorbike that’s about 50cc to 70cc, it’s a way different ball game.
  • And they crashed a lot and the bike died half way through. I’m trying to avoid that.

Anything else? Good. Apocalypse Now people, apocalypse now….

Sexual assault is a laughing matter. And Buddy Lembeck likes it that way.

I may have thought it as an entertaining clip, for how fucked up it really is. Or I may have wanted to post bewbs.

I guess it’s one of those things, that will remained unanswered.

I’m lacking for a title

File under... Gaming, Geeky — mylo @ 1:36 am

So I’m broke, and I figured it would be a good idea to stay in for the night.

So I decided to break out the old gamecube. I bought it in January for 30 bucks, with a few games and they’ve all been collecting dust.

For the record I only knew 3 people with the gamecube One is a retard, the other somehow got hooked on Donkey Conga, the other was a girl with really low self esteem who used it to fuck nerds.

I turn it on, there is one thing I noticed with the last gen consoles, they all have creepy main menu’s. The xbox sounds possessed, the ps2 looks haunted; in the GC’s case it’s the sound. The damn thing sounds depressed. This would explain why emo’s love nintendo, however I’m broke, miserable, and my girlfriend is 3000 miles away, I don’t need a game system to push me over the edge.

I have a total of three games, Zelda, and Rogue Squad II, and III.

Starting off with Zelda, there’s not much to say. In fact I think for now on when there is a new Zelda game a reviewer can cut it down to three words “It’s fuckin’ Zelda”. One way or another I played all the major Zelda games on the home consoles.

They are literally all the same. The only thing that changes is the graphic engine. However the plot is the same, Link saves Zelda (except for Mask of Majora), Link meets Goron, Link runs through dungeon with the same puzzles as he always has.

You would think by now he would just keep the damn master sword, email Ganondorf on where to meet up fight to the death and call it a day. However nintendo barely acknowledges the internet, so I guess it would have to be by carrier pigeon.

Sadly this version seems to be a step down from ocarina of time. It’s the control and really the love of 3d link is gone. I was hoping for something new from this franchise with the latest game, but I was turned off as soon as I saw the Gorons in their orange blob glory.

The Rogue squads, their pretty much the same as each other. With the exception of 3rd person shooter sequence parts in III.

When it switches over to those parts, it can be described as excretable. They aren’t fun, they aren’t easy to control, and it doesn’t mesh at all with the series.

Otherwise the left thumb stick isn’t analog (so it seems). So it’s impossible to aim and steer really well. Otherwise, imagine this…

You’re a Rebel pilot, you’re being briefed. Admiral Ackbar walks in, and says “Men, we are outnumbered at least 20 to 1. The good news is tie fighters aren’t shielded so you just need one or two shots to take them down.”

The rebel pilots cheer.

“Oh btw, those shields don’t come cheap, neither does labor. We hired the best of the best from the best special ed school ever. Oh I forgot to mention, those tie fighters? They’re painted black, coincidentally so’s space. Clever right? First the death star, and now they figured out how to cloak their ships with a few cans of spray paint.

We got this really neat targeting computer so you can see them and shoot those fascist clones down. You aren’t allowed to use it. EVER. I don…

What Wedge?

Yes I know what I’m doing! Seriously, I’m a fuckin’ icon! What are you? Nuthin that’s right, yeah you have cool name, but I have a timeless catch phrase!

Sit down.”

My final assesment of the Gamecube, is a lot of my assesment of the Wii.

It sucks, and frankly if nintendo shriveled and died tomorrow I really don’t think it’ll be a big loss to the video game industry. It’s not like there are many 3rd parties that depend on them, and each gadget they make is just a skin deep veneer for the same game that’s at least a decade old.

Don’t Hold Your Breath

File under... Heart 'o' Darkness — mylo @ 9:42 pm

I do have some news about Heart-o-darkness.

Ok breathe, in and out.  Yes, into the paper bag, it really does help.

I decided a little while ago to try and get some sort of sponsorship.  I figured if I pitch the story around at the same time I pitch it to a scooter and moped manufacturer, I might be lucky enough to get a nibble.

One nibble, leads to a bite, and a bite gets you a fish.

Tomos So I’ve been working on some pitch letters, and it’s one of those things that I really should have paid more attention with at school.

So far they’re pretty good.  They’re polite, honest, and I think funny at one part.

Jessica who has been incredibly supportive (as long as I promise to wear a helmet) pretty much thinks the whole project is crazy.

We discussed it today, and she basically thought at one point when I mentioned “support of my girlfriend and friends” that made me look daring instead of “lone madman”.

Of course that’s what I wanted to go for, I wanted the image of a prophet of doom riding the earth.

She says take it out then.

“But they’ll think I’m crazy.”

“Oh no, we wouldn’t want that dear.”

So, the most important letter is to the moped guys.  I pretty much have my real choice which is a Tomos LX, heavily modified for some more speed, carrying capacity, and looks.   Also with a new paint job, and get rid of those side fairings.

But all that being said I still need the moped.

Going Backwards

File under... Holiday/days — mylo @ 2:54 pm

So I had some stuff to do for work.  I decided to come into the office, knock it out, hop a bus and see the rents in time for easter.

Easter is a weird time for me.  It’s sort of how like Chandler in that one episode of friends when he had a beef with thanksgiving.

My major events in no particular order are -

  • My great grandmother was born on easter sunday.  My family however didn’t get the exact date, so we just used easter to celebrate it.
  • After being stuck in the Poconos for months, my parents, brother and I were going to see my uncle Joey and aunt Mella.  My brother threw a temper tantrum for some reason, which triggered one in my dad, he decided to scrub the whole operation.  Then grounded me because Steven could do no wrong.
    • We didn’t even get out of the driveway
  • A girlfriend broke up with me a few days before easter (if you must know, it was the one mentioned in the previous post).  I went to my grandfather’s house that Sunday, when they asked about her where-a-bouts I told her she dumped me.  They began to laugh.  I told them no I’m serious and she really hurt my feelings.
    • They laughed even harder.
  • I get yelled at every year by my grandfather’s wife at easter.  She wants me to take the chairs up and down from the basement, her sons are in-capable because one is a little too bi-polar, and other is too fem.  It would be nice if she didn’t greet me with “get the chairs, and we spent your inheritance on getting bi-polar out of jail.”
  • During the rough patch of 2005, I had to move in with the uncle on easter.  I was yelled at for a solid few hours about the toilet seat being up, setting up my PC so I can find work, napping when everything was in place.  Eventually I just phased out, and wondered what neighborhood Peter Parker is from?

So I’m a little weary of Easter.

I thought it was looking a little up because I had a bachelor party to attend last night.  It was the first time in a long time I had a wild guy-centric night.  I had a good time.
I arrive home, smokes are hidden, teeth are brushed, hair is clean (albeit long), fresh shaved, and gut sucked in.  Because these are the major things my parents look for in my visits.

After kissing my mom hello, she smacks me upside the head.

“What the fuck was that for!”

Whap

“That last one is for cursing!”

“And the first one?”

“For smelling like overpriced beer, and cheap floozy!”

How does she know?!?!

Ex-Girlfriends.

File under... Love and War — mylo @ 1:50 am

Aww fuck no.

That was my reaction when someone directed me to a blog that will remain hidden on myspace.

“It’s been nine years! Can’t she just…”

My friend assured me that no, she won’t stop. She’s like a manic depressive, OCD, terminator that’s been cursed with vampirism. Someone has to put a stake through her heart before she could just let things go.

And he said “that would be if you were lucky. It could be worse, she could have your number. No wait she probably already does have that, she could be calling you, that would be worse.”

Maybe I am over reacting, but every time I hear something new from her I can’t help but feel filthy. Maybe because I know it’s a matter of time before something ticks down in that skull (that’s filled with crazy), and she’ll start the dreaded letter writing campaign.

I wish the voices in her head would just tell her cut the shit out.

But that’s not going to happen, so fine I’ll respond to one of her stupid posts about me. My comments are in bold, and italic

Hope For The Bitter…
Current mood: pensive

Batshit insane

I have to dedicate this entry to someone I once knew many years ago when I was young, naïve, and extremely possessive.

Fun fact, one day me and my parents went to the King of Prussia mall. I made the mistake of not informing Ami right before, she literally called my house over 20 times in a period of 4 hours.

Because of how possessive I was, it made me selfish and well, quite frankly, very hard to deal with as a person when it came to he and I. I can’t lie… I’ve been reading his entries again.

Again? Translation : I never stopped, I need to know if he writes about me, or even thinks of me in any other way but disgust.

I think it’s because I will always feel curious about his life. It’s only natural to want to know how your high school sweetheart is doing these days.

Do you guys think this is a legal basis for a restraining order or something?

Especially if you were the one who broke his heart. There was a time in my life where I blamed myself for his bitterness. But, I realized, that’s just taking too much credit. I’m not that powerful, and the last thing I ever wanted to do was turn him into one of the bitterest people he portrays himself to be in his entries.

Blah, blah, blah - ex gf shit

I was happy for a while when reading his entries because I found that he met someone, and fell in love again. I always believed there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and though most, especially him, would say it was only the headlight of a freight train rushing towards him while he breathes the last breaths of his life, I truly believed it was a light of hope.

Oh wait I thought you JUST started reading my blog? That’s funny me and the girl have been dating since april. If you’re going to mimic me dummy get it right. I would say it’s like going on a really good date, drinking a little too much, and then waking up in a strange motel in a bathtub full of ice, with a kidney missing.

Duh!

I know it sounds rather fluffy. But, there are a lot of reasons why I read his entries to this day. For one, he is one hell of a writer. Always was. At least I believed him to be. He never quite believed he was. At least that is the impression he gave me throughout the four years and one month of our relationship. Yeah, I even remember how long. I remember the night, the time, and the date. As screwy as it sounds, I ended it on April 1st of 1998. It was 1:13 AM. It was not pretty and there was a lot of anger on his part. But, I don’t have to delve into that tale again. Let’s just say I couldn’t blame him. Despite the fact that I never cheated on him, it still hurt him. In the end I think I did him a huge favor. He was able to finally spread his wings and live. That’s how I feel about it anyway.

capt kirkI is awesome. I is awesome Captain Kirk Style. Always was (thanks psycho ex for proving it!!!)

However as screwy as it sounds, you have the date wrong. It was 1999, the rest I’ll assume is right.

You’re right though it wasn’t pretty. I had to hear for the month or two after everyday “I don’t want you to hate me, why do you hate me, why do your friends and family hate me? They liked me before I dumped you.”

It is always funny how she mentions the cheating thing. Although I never received said proof, I did find a witness later on. I can’t really blame her though, I think another year I definately would have cheated on her, and she’s the only girlfriend I ever regretted not cheating on.

Although I suppose I did spread my wings and live, of course it was easier after the 124 pound anchor that bitched me out about everything, and heard voices in it’s head was cut loose.

That’s how I’ll always feel about it.

I read his latest entry. It was bitter. (or sad) I couldn’t blame him. I’m not sure he ever wonders onto my MySpace site. (not unless I’m forced too)

If he does, I hope that if he reads this entry he knows that it’s going to be OK. Though distance is a stormy ocean between two people in love, it is also a test of the heart. (shut up, you cheapen my emotions by even thinking that sentence)

I know that sounds easy coming from me. I live with my boyfriend and will actually be celebrating four years together tomorrow. (I thought this post was about me? Oh no you aren’t selfish still)

February 8th is when we met in 2004. The thing is I remember distance. I did it twice. (I think I’m one, I’m hoping the cops found the other guy’s body that she ditched in the woods by now)

It was extremely difficult, and while I believed myself to be strong, I really wasn’t. (You ARE worthless and weak [fuck i’ve been dying to say that for years!])

I had a hard time when my boyfriend would go on his ten day vacations in the summer and I couldn’t go because of work. It was like going through a drug withdrawal (Fun fact 2, she used to say the same thing about me. I’m pretty sure I can use this in a paper or something, addiction, relationships and codependence) , and that was only ten days!

I’m willing to bet he loved those vacations so fucking much, and then when he stepped off the plane and when he saw an emotionally disturbed girl with a horrible fro there to greet him he died a little each time.

Peter, you will be OK. I believe that you will.

Jess you hear that? That crazy one I told you about says we’re going to be fine! Thank god, we should cancel that appointment we had with Dr Phil

I know that means nothing to you coming from me. I’m the last person you want to hear from, and especially the last person who you could ever want to wish you well. (There are others, but yeah)

But, I know you’ll be OK. It may feel like the end of the world…(not really) hell, it may even BE the end of YOUR world. (no it isn’t) If this is the love you deserve. The love you have longed for despite your bitterness with the four letter word, she will return home to you.

Yet again, stop cheapening my emotions, and while you’re at it stop even imagining you understand me. However there is a Freudian slip there. See if you can find it. I’ll wait… … … find it? She used the word “if”, “If this is the love you deserve”, by using that particular word choice it actually shows hostility still. I knew this whole “oh I hate no one, I forgive you” crap was another act. Of course I could be digging too deep, but in reality I’m probably only scratching the surface of crazy.

I’ve been listening to this song on my iPod by VNV Nation called “Distant (Rubicon II)”. For some reason as I was working out at the gym tonight while this song started to play in my ears, I thought about his situation.

The paths that I once tread
have all but gone.
Only embers now smoulder
where bridges once burned.
I feel alive and yet I fear
what may happen now.
I know I can’t return.

Yug, enough of that shit. It goes on, for a bunch of paragraphs. I’m sparing you trust me.

That song just reminds me of him, and when I think about his latest entry, I know that the song was meant for me to hear tonight. I usually just skip it because it is a very mellow, melancholy song. But I had to listen because I was meant to…

GOD IS IN MY EX GIRLFRIENDS IPOD!!!!!! The lord speaketh through the shuffle function. Bless ye playlists, for the prophet Ami to interpret through chemical imbalanced wisdom! Hallelujah!!! Praise da lawd!!!!!

I think the bitterness I experienced. I remember my best friend from the city feeling so relieved the day I fell in love again because she thought I would never allow myself to feel after my experiences

I know that made you sound stupid somehow, I’m trying to pin point it. I think it’s the best friend from the city part. She was probably thankful, because you wouldn’t shut up about how awesome I am, and how you blew it.

I told my boyfriend that I am now thankful to God that I experienced such pain and that I wouldn’t change it because I was supposed to go through it.

To which he probably thinks he got you because of something really bad he did in his life, and now he is trying to make amends

It didn’t mean I had to like it, but I learned and grew from it.

I don’t think you really grew. You sound pretty much the same, except the born again christian bent.

Because of this, I was able to meet the love of my life. The night I finally let go, was the morning when 2004 began, and so did the rest of my life…

The day he started to look for an escape route, January 3rd 2004. There’s probably a tunnel under the bed that’s half-way to staten island. It’s not letting go if you’re still writing about me, and going through my blog you dumb bitch!!!

To everyone and anyone who is hurting, bitter, angry, and hateful because their hearts have been ripped from their chests and smashed against the wall too many times: It’s going to be OK. You can always start again, only this time you will be wiser, patient, and most of all…stronger…

Says the girl who still blogs about her ex-bf 9 years removed. My advice? There is no hope. Ami’s current should run screaming for the hills, he will face nothing but misery. She probably robbed all ambition from him. He probably looks at her periods in boredom instead of sympathy. His family hates her, his friends are dropping away one by one, and she’s not noticing because she’s bleeding him. This fucked up bitch is bleeding him dry of everything that makes him human. Look buddy I don’t know your name or who you are, but I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

RUN. Just run as fast as you can, kick her out of the apartment, and start over. If you don’t, it will get worse trust me.

Ami has a thing with poetry. One day someone told her she was talented, and she just wouldn’t stop. I think there are probably 100 chapbooks about me. The below poem is an original piece of work. I don’t want even want to look at it to mock it, so I’ll leave you the first paragraph.

Standing

[September 1999]

Eyes betray the soul and bear it’s thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing’s ventured nothing’s gained
so I must seize the day.

God that was horrible wasn’t it? But this is how it went down,.

Oct 25 1994, I stayed late in the school library. It was my 17th birthday. My house life wasn’t that great. I guess it was a combination of teenage angst, growing pains, and parents scared for my future. At 4:30 I caught the late school bus home. I bumped into my friend Ron Andersen, with him was a boisterous girl from queens named Ami. We ended up hanging out a lot at school. Mostly because she wouldn’t leave me alone, and I felt sorry for her.

March of 1995 I was invited to her sisters bday, and me and Ami became boyfriend and girlfriend. We slow danced to the pixies “bird dream of the olympus mons”

Time passes, and four years later in a basement apartment in queens, we broke up. Sometimes I think it was meant to happen like that. That I needed to learn how toxic people can be. Then when I look at my old camera’s, and think about the other girls I should have asked out back in the day, and I realize how lovely, warm, and fun Jessica is. I then wish I went straight home for some birthday cake, and to unwrap a present.
