Ok well this is going to probably be a long post since I haven't updated in awhile. I went on vacation a week ago, right after I finished up work. The guys at work took me out to lunch and that was awesome as usual. It's been such an experience working at AIG, and I really feel like one of the team in the office/company, and part of a family in the LAN group. I got an amazing letter of reccomendation from Tim, my boss. Like a bar of gold when I get out of school. He even is trying to arrange for me to work over winter break so I can make some cash! W00t!

Anyways that Friday night Matt, Jesse, Kevin, Amar and myself headed out to Hoboken (35 cents for the Garden State tok-en!) to do the bar scene and end our summer off. That was a pretty wild night. I owed Jesse a few drinks and Kevin too, so they both got trashed as Matt and Amar owed them similarly. Good night until Amar got sick and Kevin too. Kevin took it much better and after some hurling at a gas station in Hoboken, (yes we never even made it out before the rawrfing began), Amar and Kevin went at it. After stopping like 3x for Amar and Kevin of course. Wow...what a sight. And Kevin says he's only been drunk like twice hehehe. Glad to be a condoner of that! Got Kev some bagels and he was much better but Amar I must say had a ROUGH ROUGH night hehehe. Poor kid was going at it the whole ride home. And then we got pulled over. Cop saw that Amar didn't have his seat-belt on-kind of hard to have that when your head is in a bag. So he pulled us over, with Kevin asleep and Amar hurling organs. Does the whole routine, looks around in the car with his flashlight. Checks Amar's and Jesse's licenses, and then goes to Amar's side. Amar is still retching and the mone moment was when Amar spit up and the cop looked at him and just said "Aw that's just disgusting," and walked away briskly. Meanwhile Jesse was getting harassed by the woman cop who none of us even knew was there lol. She asked him what he was doing, he said "Standing right here because he told me to," to which she replied "Good answer."

Got home, got about 3 hours of sleep, then got up to pack the cars for LBI. Ahhh LBI- Long Beach Island to you none NJ natives. The best beach I know, and I'm happy to get there whenever I can. We rented a house with my sister's family, and a gorgeous one at that. It was great to spend a week with my sister and her kids. I really miss them all schoolyear-long and even now during break I rarely get to see them. It's like I'm almost a father sometimes, weird, but quite enoyable. The island wasn't as busy as usual, but we came up with plenty of reasons as to why. It was still hoppin' down at Beach Haven at Schooner's Wharf. (Kind of the big bustling area with stores, huge miniature golf course, and the water slides etc.) Matt and Andrew came down that Thursday and we went to the Ketch and then onto Joe Pops. Interesting night again. Good drink prices, $.50! Woo! Got back this past Saturday, the 16th, and took care of some packing that day. Sunday I went to church with the 'rents and continued packing. Same for today. Dad goes in for surgery tommorrow so I'm going to probably stick around until Wed afternoon/night or Thursday more likely to go back to Syracuse. Can't wait to get back. The Red House is going to rock this year, and it's going to be a good year...I know it.

In other news my car was in the shop again. To the tune of $620...gah...Damn you Dave's Friendly Texaco, Damn you. At least the AC that was fixed a month ago is still fixed and not leaking etc. Tires are OK too, so there's an upside to it :) Time to grab a bite and see what's up for tonight.
