I've been working on adding comments to my blog since I have taken a semester of HTMl and XHTML. You'd think I could just use LiveJournal like I used to and have it all done for me. But that would just be toooooooo easy. So bear with me if there's a few comment changes until I find one that's suitable.
Zach's Message To The Red House

So things have been super busy. After multiple more visits with the Syracuse legal tenant advocate, we have a strong case against Roy. At the very least we will discredit him publicly in the BIG newspapers. The Post Standard, NOT the dinky DO. We will keep TKE from moving in June 1. And if the members fight this, the Red House will still stand and exist next fall. Here's a little quote from the Sopranos that I think very well classifies my attitude towards oppression.

"We're talkin' about history here, A.J. Your family's history. Newark's history."

"Well, who gives a shit about Newark?"

"I'm making a point. This neighborhood used to be beautiful. 100% Italian.The 1920s, most of them right off the boat. Most Italians couldn't even find a church that wanted 'em. So what did they do, did they cry? Did they go to the government with their hand out? No. They took care of their own problems. They said you don't want us in your church? Fine, we'll build our own, a better one. I mean, look around, look at all these buildings around here. Most of them are falling down into the ground. But that church is still standing. You know why?"

"The bricks?"

"'Cause our people give a shit, that's why."

The Red House will not fall because I didn't lift a finger. Roy Pinsky Palumbo is a name you will not soon forget.

It was a great day. Woke up and had brunch at Cosmo's. Went over Zach's to watch Kill Bill with some good surround sound (finally). Hit up the SU 2004 Block Party with Wyclef Jean, which was awesome. That's where the day ended being good. I actually can't believe that I've come to feel this way, but I am ready to leave SU. I've been ready to leave SU for some time, but in a different sense. This is more directed towards just not wanting to be around certain people anymore. I miss my friends from home. True friends who have known me for years, and probably know me better than anyone else. They are people, who if not 100%, I can be sure I can count on them 90% of the time. I'm beyond ready to get home and to continue the plans I laid in stone months ago.

I hope this week goes quick and all I need to do gets done.
Home, family and friends cannot come quick enough.

Sometimes the world looks seems perfect
Nothing to rearrange
Sometimes you just get a feeling
like you need some kind of change
No matter what the odds are this time
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
This flame in my heart and a long lost friend
Gives every dark street a light at the end
Standing tall on the wings of my dream
Rise and fall on the wings of my dream
Rain and thunder, wind and haze
are bound for better days
It's my life and my dream
And nothing's gonna stop me now
