happy new blahhhh

hey peeps -- long time no post.

happy holi-daze... i'm feeling a little dazed myself today.

let's see, what's new(s)...?

great christmas gifts from ami... grey ribbed Calvin Klein sweater and... wait for it...

...a new Islanders jersey!! SWEET. she gave it to me early so i could wear it to the isles-sabres game on 12/12/07. isles lost but it was fun getting hostile looks at Irish Times and at the arena, ha.

went to long island to see the 'rents and g'rents and spent down time with my sisters. my youngest sister Jessica and her bf Dan met me in NYC and we saw the tree. we also went to the east village, ate in a fantastic tiny little Mexican restaurant and drank Christmas ales at Hop Devil, a beer bar.

after a few days on LI i actually missed buffalo. bizarre.

anyway back now and ami and i are trying to pack in some good times before i head off to europe for a few days (strasbourg, paris, brussels). we've succeeded so far but today is kinda blah.

the only interesting thing that's happened today -- save for a nice catching up phone call from chica -- is that i got mildly gay-bashed on the metro. maybe my fashion sense is too allentown, but i got called a fag and a fruit-cup on the train this afternoon. nice.

stay classy, buffalo.

Just an ordinary day, sitting there minding my business when someone punches me in the face as they walk off of the train with their friends. That didn't hurt physically too much, but it felt pretty shitty sitting there afterwards with the whole world knowing I was punched in the face and nobody (including myself) did anything about it. What are you to do unless you want to get shot in the face rather than punched in the face?

So speaking of fruit, my grandma makes the best fruit cake ever. Fruit cake has such a bad name, but I love my Grammy's. I like fruit cups and cakes and cocktails and salads--so don't worry about it. Consider yourself to be a juicy medley of different flavors and colors rather than an ignorant fuck.

I really don't know your fashion sense but if you where still wearing the jersey (kidding you got what you deserved). (kidding again) If you where wearing that Nice White suit (dinner Party I think) I would gladly take that off your hands so you don't get bashed again. Jokes a side to say that is why I don't take the "Sub Way" (O assume you mean that and not the bus) anymore, not that exact reason but stuff along those lines. That isn't really true I also don't go to Canisius anymore so no reason to, but now I choose not to. In any event I hope you have a great 2008. I would saying going to Europe is a good way to start the new year.
