So in about an hour and a half I am going to look at my first apartment. I have such high hopes for it and realize like I need to look at more than one and stuff but I don' tknow I just feel good about this one. It is on Linwood and W. Utica near the (e:PMT)'s kinda. I am not 100% sure I can afford it but we'll see. I could always get a second job but i am already wokring like over 40 hrs. a week and scheduling two jobs seems nightmarish. I mean i think i can do it , i just will be dirt poor, like maybe if i eat every third day or something it will work out. We'll see...... wish me luck..
P.S. do you think it is weird that I am taking both my mom and (e:paul) wiht me to look at it. I have no idea what to ask or look for since I never had an apt so it just seemed like a good idea. We'll see.

My World Is Rocked and Bday suckinessAs some of you may have heard Eckerd was bought out by RiteAid. I have always hated RiteAid, this furthers that belief. My store will likely close I would imagine as there are 3 RiteAids within a mile of my store. This whole training thing I am doing may be canceled considering it seems silly to train everyone on a new system when we may be shut down. We'll see. Besides the fact that I work there I just love my store since I was a kid. It is just a ridiculous old like crappy building but I love it cuz it is different than all the other ones. I hope it makes the cut but I doubt it.
In birthday news, I hope it starts to get better.
First, I can't makethe terry/me birthday party on Saturday. I have a wedding to go to. Hopefully I will still do something for my bday next week but I am saddened by the lack of huge party in celebration of me. Hope you all still have fun but not to omuch fun where you dno't want to party again in a week or something.
Secondly, all i have wanted since the taste of buffalo are the fried cheese stuffed olives from Orazios so that is where my fam was gonna go for my bday. Well we called AND THEY DON'T HAVE them regularly and will not have them next week. So now I don't know where to go to dinner. I seiruosly had looked forward to those for months.
Thirdly, I was supposed to have my birthday off of work. WEl lnow they changed it and I have to teach my first training class that day (8am-6ish) because the guy from coroporate is coming that day so we have to have one that day.
I hope my birthday doesn't suck as much as it is being set up to be.

Try to look on the bright side of things...These weddings start to die out around 10 or 11 and are definately over by 12. With a party already in progress you have a place to go to if the reception gets a little slow. Not to mention an inexpensive place where you can bring the people at the reception to have some fun as an after party.
Do you like seafood??? Try La Marina on Hertel, but get a reservation today.
If you want a memorable birthday dinner experience try a place that is known well for doing something you like (ie. Steak- Buffalo Chophouse or Western Door)or try a new cuisine style.

Birthday Part IIOk, so I guess I didn't realize how drunk I was at my birthday. After talking to (e:jill) and (e:amanda) , they caught me up on everything that happened. I guess a lot of licking faces, grabbing yosepha's chest, honking jill's butt, making loud comments about people, and making calls I don't remember calling, (see (e:chris)'s journal for an example). That's just a little bit. Who knew I drank so much., I seruiolldy don' tremember any of that. I am excited/worried to get my pictures developed.
On a side note, failing at knocking on that door still...sorta perfect opportunity today....wasted....one day.....

Haven't Updated In A Few DaysFirst and foremost, thanks to everyone who showed up for my birthday celebrations. SOrry that I prolly passed out a little early on. It is my birthday special to do that. I can't control it, too many captain and cokes lined up in a row on the bar equals one drunken (e:mike) throwing up on Franklin. We got pulled over by the po po on the way home hin Kenmore, lukcily (e:maureen) had like no drinks so she was fine. I guess they were looking for some hoodlums going through people's backyards by Jill's house which was where we had just left!
Can't wait to watch my Laguna Beach DVD from (e:maureen) which is also supposed to get hme into the VIP club on MTV yet it will not work! I WANT LAGUNA BEACH RING TONES! WHY WON"T THEY LET ME IN THE CLUB!!!! I HAVE THE CODE! LET ME IN! ALso can't wait to dirnk out of the fancy glasses , chalises even i would say, from (e:paulmattterry) and (e:jill). Though the paint and glue on Jill's might kill me, but that is the price you pay for fancy drinkware fashion!
(e:amanda) , sorry i feel like i barely saw you at my bday. But thatnks for coming and i need to meet Nick again when i ma more with it. I feel like i left a bad impression. We need to do super veggies at the Juicery soon! I miss them oh so much!
Sidenote, has anyone seen crazy gas prices? I paid 3.59 a gallon today and had to wait in line for like 25 minutes at Noco by my house. My normal gas station had closed because they ran out of gas. Insanity! Time for more walking. Healthy me at least that will make!!!
Ok that's al for now -chadi

Good luck Mike! I hope this apartment is everything you have imagined but if it isn't don't give up and assume it's a sign that you should not move out. Let me know how it goes.
