Under 2 bucks...

Can it be true? Can you really get gas for under 2 bucks? Yes, you can. I am sure there are other gas station with gas under $2, but I got this from the BP on Hempstead Tpke. & Wantagh Pkwy. Of course they do the fucking ridiculous cash/credit different prices (as you can see). So I ended up paying @2.09 for my gas but still, it's HELLA CHEAP!!



I got 11 and a quarter gallons for about 24 bucks. I don't think I can remember the last time I was able to fill my tank for closer to 20 bucks rather than 40/50 bucks. I hope this stick for a long time, cause when you gotta fill your tank just about every week, it's nice to be able to do so for close to 20 dollars

Friggin A...

Friggin A why is it so hard to talk to a pretty girl you want to get to know? Is it the fear of rejection? Perhaps it's the fear of embarrassment. Perhaps its a combination of the two.

I just don't understand why it's so difficult for me to talk to a girl I find attractive. For the past couple of weeks I have had my eye on this one girl. She commutes into the city same time as me. We take the 7:43. She usually boards the second to last car and I usually wait for the last car. I keep playing this scenario in my head where we would meet each other on our walk from the car to the platform, however I keep missing her by the slightest second.

So today, I decided to deviate from my normal routine of waiting for the last car of the train and follow her and wait where she waits. Of course, my shyness/fear of rejection/fear of embarrassment took over and I failed to say "Hi, good morning." So later I decided to take the 6:05 train home, the train she normally takes, but yet again I failed to say anything.

It's just so frustrating knowing you could be throwing something away by not saying, "Hi." I keep telling myself just say, "Hi," if it blows up then go back to your normal routine and never see her again, but when the time comes, my heart starts to beat really fast and I get all clammy and cotton mouth and nervous and just stand their, probably looking like an idiot, with the occasionally glances at her and then looking the other way.

ARRRRRGH!! why is this shit so difficult. Tomorrow will be the day. I AM GOING TO SAY HI (at the least)

OMFG!!!

HOLY SHIT!! I just saw a commercial for a sequel to probably one of the greatest game on Playstation 3 EVER!!

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is being followed up by Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

I saw a commercial on Spike that "...shows Nathan Drake walking through a blizzard, stumbling and trying to protect his eyes. In a voiceover, he mentions that he should have quit when he was ahead but goes on to state that fortune favors the bold as he reaches down and picks up an ornately carved artifact sticking out of the snow. Unfortunately for Nathan, it appears that he's seen much better times: he's favoring his right arm and appears to have been severely beaten with cuts over his face and arms." - Courteous of IGN (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/934/934653p1.html).

I am definitely looking forward to this game :)

Knock Knock...

How hard is it for people to knock on the bathroom door? I mean its common sense and common courtesy. If the door's locked perhaps there is someone in there, does anyone ever think of that?
It's one thing to not knock, but when you try to open the door with a key (I am talking public bathroom in my office building) and the door suddenly get pulled back, wouldn't you think oh someone must be in there or would you try two more times to open the door?

This very situation happened to me today. I was in the bathroom, door locked, fan going, lights on (of course) when someone tried to open the door. Luckily I heard them try to get in before so I had my hand ready to slam the door shut. Yes they tried to open the door three times. So after the third time I yelled, "You could try knocking first!"

Yeah that was my excitement for the day. Then it got better when Spencer around a link to this awesome little flash game: http://www.puzzlefarter.com ENJOY!!

Disgusting old trains...

Ugh after wonderful day at work I get stuck on a wonderful, old LIRR train. Seriously when are they going to decommission these bad boys.

As I stand there on track 21 waiting for the train to come, everyone looking in the direction in the direction the train comes from. Suddenly the lights show and to my disgust it's an disgusting, old LIRR train. Seriously these trains need to be decommissioned. Half the window seats have no arm rests, how's a guy to sleep. Half the aisle seats (the ones on the three seaters) have no head rests, again how's a guy to sleep. The lights don't stay on half the time, how's a guy to read.

Yet one day waiting for the morning train, yet another old train arrives and the person next to me goes "Oldie but goody." Now I have used this phrase before but mostly when I'm talking about a song or movie. I couldn't quite tell if he was being sarcastic. But then he started to talk to his group of friends and they all agreed to like these old trains over the newer trains. I really don't understand how anyone could like these older trains over the newer trains, but I guess to each his own.
