The apartment next store to the one that was gutted out is my apartment. I as well as my family are alright, the FDNY did a great job as always risking their lives to help others.
I consider myself honestly to be a materialistic person, I really have no shame in it but standing outside and watching the building next to mine burn to the ground while all I had to my name was a pair of shorts and a jacket..it really made me think. That everything in that house didn't really matter much. I left everything in that apartment and the one next to mine and the people who lived there in less then 40 minutes had 15 years of memories and possessions, taken from them.
All I cared about was about was my Mom who was with me and my Dad who was at work at the time. But I didn't want this to happen to them to lose their home, to feel they had nothing to their name if my building caught fire next. We had enough bad luck within the last few months and for the first time in a long time I glanced up to the sky and closed my eyes to pray to whoever was or was not listening.
Standing outside for about six hours I wondering what I should have grabbed when I rushed from my house as the Police escorted us out of my smoke filled apartment..phone, wallet, keys for my car..things I may have needed but cursed myself for not taking. I'm usually a bit cooler under pressure to think these things out. A pair of pants would have been a good idea as well..doesn't matter.
I have never, ever seen so many Fire, Police and Rescue workers all in once place, working so hard together to put this fire to an end and I really can say I respect them even more then I have before, seeing the good in people during some bad times. It makes me sure that I know what I want to do in my life in the future is the right choice.
Soon the fire was finally put out and we had a chance to go check the damage which considering the situation wasn't much. A few holes in the wall here and there, broken windows and that was about it. Everything was still there but I feel for those who lived in the store and two apartments next to mine because there was nothing left for them to find and it's scary how quickly things can change. I still have the smell and the taste of smoke in my nose and throat which keeps reminding me how close it was and how lucky I am.
Overall this is about how thankful I am for the people around me, about my all friends, about my family about Sarah and Ali and about Raychel. Today has all changed my thinking about things a bit not to sound cliche but I learned a lesson. I love you all and I have had you in my mind all day.
Long time no see,LJ! Yeah I figured it was about time for my yearly update ( in which I always say 'there will be more OMG I swear!' but it never happens)
School,Work,Girlfriend.
In all honestly I don't even know what free time is anymore. Now I'm not complaining because work I can control,my time with Raychel I can always make up another time. It's school as of late. I'm not sure why but this year I've been doing nothing but reading textbooks and writing papers. I foolishly thought that this year would be easy compared to the past few. At this rate I might as well go to Law school since I'm used to just shutting myself in my room and reading all night. ( Huh maybe that's the point of going to John Jay)
But it's not all work! Nah I was just bitching because it made me feel better. Everyone needs a good rant. I did manage to see a couple of great movies this weekend.
300 - Saw this Friday in the theaters. And I'm going to see it again on IMAX just simply because it is visually stunning. I loved Sin City and the direction they went with creating the movie and 300 much like Sin City doesn't let you down. Frank Miller has truly made his The movie itself is a pretty good mix of Troy and the Two Towers. Battle scenes are very well done, the blood for the most part is tasteful and the ending rocked. There wasn't much need for a great storyline but then again 300 wasn't meant to be complex from the beginning. So it gets the seal of approval.
The Departed - Wow. I was late on this. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. One of the best movies I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it seriously..go see it. Seriously. Shit is extremely intense. It even made me enjoy Boston accents even more then I do already. Throw in a Dropkick Murphys track like they did and I felt like hitting Jacob Wirth in downtown Boston with a Red Sox's cap on singing the praises of 'NOMMAAAR!' even if he's playing for the Dodgers. Huh..maybe they're taking about Dice-K in Boston considering all the money they paid for him but I'm getting off the topic! All and all don't be like me and wait. Go see the movie! Matt Damon is the SHIT. ( Wow I thought I'd never say that.)
Two quick things I've noticed.
1. What's with my subject name? Oh that's from a video K-West, oh excuse me..his old ass "cousin" made for fun...
2. Gym Class Heroes has gotten ALOT of play around the radio now and people who were once 'Who the F are these losers' now suddenly have 'Cupid's Chokehold' ringtones and wallpapers and shit. Now I'm not one to be like "I heard this band first!" but I'm drinking a nice Hateraide here. So for all those cats I know who suddenly love GCH after hating on them. FUCK. YOU. YEAH FUCK YOU. EAT A DICK GO LISTEN TO NOTHING BOY vs THE ECHO FACTOR. Now that's said. I'm glad to see them finally blow up around here because The Queen and I got some play but was pretty much overlooked. .
Just figured I'd update on a lighter note then last week! With one exception something I learned this weekend:
Cable Modems Are Awesome!! But when they stop working...god help us all. It was a nightmare to get it back connected and this isn't the first time it's gone down. With that said..sorry I couldn't get to you Ali about Lupe and the city. I did end up going to that B-day party which started at 2pm ( WTF dude is 21 not 5).
Rundown time!
Work - Ugh School - Easy Mets - Awesome Jets - Suck but have heart Fall Weather - Dope September - equals my B-day and that's A+ Shoes - Are 300 FUCKING dollars..LETS GET EM' Fantasy Football - Addicting Lupe Fiasco - Fruit Loops Pose and all is still a mack New Ipods - Eh..yeah thanks..scratchproof nanos couldn't come out sooner? New Itunes - Slick like Rick Mini Sharpie Markers - Genius Flavor Of Love - HILARIOUS Dane Cook's HBO Special: Makes me believe that humming the Super Mario Bros. theme while hand manipulation is a talent not meant for the weak Rachael Ray - Smashable but really annoying as hell Jim Jones/Dipset - BAAAAAAALLLLLLLLIIIIIIINNNNNN!! ( Ask me about this please.. XD) Frasier - My current favorite show..replaced M.A.S.H as what I watch at like midnight. Damn those Crane brothers and how great they can be Justin Timberlake - Really is bringing sexy back..
Last but not least Domo Kun likes to get on on..breakfast style.
One more day of this Holiday non-sense and I'm back to a normal schedule. Thank god it's almost over. I haven't seen teh Internet in a minute. I miss alot of people..
A Late Merry Christmas and a early Happy New Year to all!
In closing. Coheed and Cambria = Favorite Band Evar ( Next to the MCR/Story Of The Year tie..ahem..)
Adding Lyrics for current dope song.
In these words that crash my ears I now stomach this in fear With my turn I gathered name as the bastards son Who by fire I would come Through these wires I must cut Atop this tower of loss and lust
I'll gravitate towards you I will in the now. Hate you
I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before I'll live through this in a manner Cursed at my own accord
If my shame spills our worth across this floor Then tonight, goodnight... I'm burning Star IV Only I don't even think of you No I don't want to think of you anymore Goodnight, tonight, goodbye (Repeat)
In my presence you might wake Through this fiction I must fake Your death to grace the face of my character With these lessons he might learn That all the worlds from here must burn For as God demands in the end we miss
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now? You left me here to fend on my own So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
Heard this track a few days ago while getting more info on Mike Shinoda's first solo album Fort Minor that comes out tomorrow and MY MAN Lupe Fiasco drops some serious rhymes that well..reminded me of Gundam..let me show you why..
You know he didn't have enough power in his thrusters to muster Warp 5 Plus if he pushed it, the fuel cells could rupture then they would die Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it And told her goodbye, she started to cry, but he knew if he could distract 'em He could buy her some time and she could make it out alive Turn the suit around and got prepared for the stand off Space mind had blew one of the hands off Damaged laser cannons and he got the system jammed And he faced the whole fleet, blood seeping through his teeth The final saga in the seven planet wars Unsheethed the sword and then he charged forward His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass He let out a laugh and then all she heard was a blast like
Not EXACTLY..but you see where he was kinda going with that..some crazy space opera with mobile suits. XD! First a Lupin the III kickback followed by a Thundercats one..and now this..dude is INSANE.
Bored..my AIM is all broken..wish I was able to use express on this damn computer..so..we'll play a game...
If you can match a song to yourself at the moment..what would it be? Well between school problems for next year and how I always seem to be running late as of late...
Kanye West - Late [Chorus: Kanye West] I'll be late for that, baby I'll wait for that If you had a taste of that, you'd probably pay for that I'm comin in when I feel like To turn this muh'fucker up only if it feels right I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that I think I was made for that So I'm comin in when I feel like To turn this muh'fucker up only if it feels right

Not much of an update. But it has been confirmed that I have the most uninteresting LJ ever..yet I remain here because well..why not?
The weather for the month of November so far has been insanely nice. I love this season...from the smell of the air to the colors of the trees. Fall > All. Here in NY it has been a constant 55-60 nearly every day..I hope it keeps up.
School is a mess. I ended up dropping a class..my GPA isn't so hot right now. I'm going through a slump..no biggie though. I'll make up for it..it's just that I've been so damned lazy with alot of things.
Work is work. Making money that will be ultimately spent of Christmas presents which..I need to start shopping for very soon.
Killing Nazi's is fun. Call of Duty 2 has confirmed this once again..thumbs up soldier!
Haven't really been online much..not really because I don't want to. Because I've been so tired..I get home and I'm not feeling the computer. I'm sure this will end soon. I've been neglecting alot of my friends and I am sorry for that everyone.
Relationships suck. But strangely enough I still love her..bah...
I haven't updated the real deal journal in such a long time and unfortunately this won't be a long one for today.
So let's sum it up quickly:
Summer - Hot Air Conditioner - Working Work - Boring Women(Woman..ahem) - Wonderful Kicks collection - Growing Sushi - Awesome ( I'll get into this tomorrow.) LJ Icons - New RPing - Hardcore Ali - California Sarah - Ninjas! NINJAAAAS! Beck - W-O-R-M!! Ohhhh SHIT. Max Zorin - God.
XDXDXDXDX!! ::Dying:: Taken from a 3 day continuation post on NikeTalk's General section that is still going on now from one of the new members. One of the funnest stories I have ever read ( Fake as hell but damn funny even without all the comments from the others!..here is it in full. I present to you. HARLEM SHAKE!
Long story but please bear with me. I need MAJOR help
My parents went away last week for their 20th wedding anniversary and left me home alone. So ive been talking to the german exchange chick in my Bio class for most of the semester and this week was perfect to make my move since i got an empty house. I told her i was gonna show her a "piece of Germany".
So yesterday i grabbed the keys to my moms Benz wagon, had some stoner dude pick me up a 6 pack of Becks, and i thought we could finish the night off with a sausage tasting
Long story short, we're in the car, the Becks is kicking in with her (i didnt drink and drive) and she says its cool to go back to my pad. In the back of my head i start flipping out. Then when i go to make a uturn i forget that i have it in freaking reverse. I backed up into a telephone pole!!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrr! nooooooo!! Sea blocked by a pole, pole blocked! I got a MEAN dent it the back and im flipping out and it kills the mood. I was in a get in those ribs mood and she was in a take me home mood.
So i take it over to this oily machanic dude i know to get an estimate today. He tells me $950 BUCKS!! Im like Allah, jesus, whoever, please just kill me. So i go to my boys house and everybody thinks its FUNNY! This girl Casey was there who is like the head of all the dances and all that says she might have an idea to help me out.
She said that our school dance team was sponsoring a HARLEM SHAKE contest on monday and the GRAND PRIZE IS $1000! At first i was like yessssssss but then i remembered i didnt know how to Harlem Shake.
Im determined to get this done whatever it takes but the compitition is supposed to be steep. Like 100 kids signed up and they're bussing in actual Harlem residents to judge the contest. I need some soul quick! If i win i can get the car fixed and cleaned up before the parental units get home next thursday.
Any tips? anything? videos? i just spent an hour watching this girls copy of Darrens Dance Grooves and my head is spinning. Im practicing in the mirror but it just looks like im drowning. My arms are just flapping all over the place and i almost dislocated my shoulder. broke. My parents left me money to eat and stuff but thats just about to run out. I spent most of it on a couple pairs of Dunks the day they left now all i can afford is like a slice of pizza a day.
PART 2
Now i hear that "Pete The Pop Lockin Playa" and his friend "Hustlin Hank" (yes, thats what they call themselves) were trying to get their hands on the German chick. Tonight! GOD does my life SUCK. Shes a sweet girl and very impressionable. Now these dancer kids who run the school are probably gonna foul her before i get my shot
my shoulders are killing me This kid DJ Tanner is gonna be on the wheels of steel for the competition. Im cool with him, he wished me luck when i saw him today. He said he's been saving some of his dopes beats and freshest grooves especially for tomorrow. I wanna be ready for whatever he puts on.
I can feel the funk in the blood. If dancing was a house, Poppin' Pete would be evicted So I get to school this morning all braided up and there’s a huge buzz about the contest tonight. People I don’t even know heard about my story started wishing me luck in the hallway. So I’m in the library during my 3rd period study hall and one of Poppin Pete’s henchmen “Funky Brewster” (again, I’m sorry, all the kids in my school are total douches and refuse to go by their real name) comes over and starts talking to me.
He says that Pete The Pop Lockin’ Playa heard about all the junk I’ve been talking and wants to challenge me to a DANCE FIGHT after school BEFORE the HARLEM SHAKE CONTEST. Im like . I told him I had to practice my routine for tonight and I was totally against unsanctioned dance contests.
So now it’s lunch time and I see Poppin’ Pete and Hustlin’ Hank making a bee line right for my table. I’m sitting there with Anna enjoying my kiwi strawberry Capri-Sun and Pete is like “You better get down (dance) or lay down (die). 3pm, out by the dumpsters in the parking lot. ”
I couldn’t back down in front of Anna so I was like “Sorry to knock your HUSTLE HANK but it looks like your boy PETE is gonna get POPPED!” In my head I was like, what the hell am I getting myself into. Word spread around school quick.
Now it’s almost 3pm, I cant find Anna, and there’s no way to get out of this. I make my way toward the dumpsters and I see this huge crowd. Its Poppin’ Pete and the rest of his goonies, “Hustlin’ Hank”, “Funky Brewster”, “Willie Wiggles”, and “Newman Beatbox”.
I see Poppin’ Pete and he’s got his hands around ANNA teaching her to do the THUNDER CLAP. I’m like
As soon as she saw me she ran over and said I didn’t have to do this. Someone could get seriously hurt or even expelled and to save all my energy for TONIGHTS CONTEST. I just said, “I danced my way into this mess, now I’m gonna dance my way out” And tossed my Jansport to the side…
Nobody had a radio so “Newman Beatbox” said he would lay down a stone cold groove. He sets it off with alittle “BOOM, BAP, BOOM BOOM BOOM, BAP!”
Pete starts HARELM SHAKING. He starts with a couple rare combo’s I’ve never seen and he says: “SHA SHA, SHAKE, SHA SHAKE SHAKE… SHAKE SOMETHIN’!” His whole crew was like OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!
My face goes . Its my turn to rock. I thought i would start it off safe with alittle LEAN BACK, LEAN BACK… and then slip into the ROCKAWAY. All of a sudden I freeze up, catch a cramp in my leg and hit the floor. I didn’t know what the hell was happening. Even more OOOOOOOHHHHH’s now.
All of a sudden his whole crew takes advantage and jumps me! There was this huge cloud of dust and I was at the bottom in the fetile position. Like SIX guys just HARLEM SHAKING on top of me(pause?). I think one of them was doing the RUNNING MAN too because I felt some feet near my groin. Anna ran and got help, so the assistant Principal ended up coming out so everybody started running. I finally got up but the damage was already done.
Im battered and brusied, and only a few hours from the HARLEM SHAKE CONTEST! They just wanted to take me out so they can have tonights prize money all to themselves.
God I hate typing… more on the actual CONTEST in a bit.
Part 3! FINAL JUDGEMENT!
Sorry, yesterday was so nuts i fell asleep after all the madness...
So anyway, I go home and get myself cleaned up after getting HARLEM SHOOK. It wasn’t pretty but im over it. I hope my mouth didn’t write a check my HARLEM SHAKE skills can’t cash.
I just put on my game face and got ready for the CONTEST. So I show up at school and get signed in. They give me a trucker hat with my number on it and said I was gonna be in Group 6. The gym was PACKED. Poppin’ Pete was already there gassing up the crowd by doing some unintentionally homo-erotic dance routine with “Funky Brewster”.
I just gave them a and sat down with ANNA to wait for my group to be called.
The contest gets going and I’m starting off strong. Kids are just dropping like flies. 100 turns to 80…60…40 and im still in there. The judges are like “YOU, OUT…YOU OUT!” I’m in the TOP 20 but unfortunately so are the usual suspects, Pete, Hank and them.
I know this is the time to put my HARLEM SHAKE skills in OVERDRIVE. I start doing all types of combos: bounce combos, hop combos, cheddar cheese pretzel combos, you name it. Anna’s on the side doing her little offbeat German Poka shuffle to the music but I can feel her support. BOOM, 5 more people go down including FUNKY BREWSTER!
Right now my legs are crazy and im just rockin’ steady. Its like im channeling Crazy Legs or something. Im pretty much having a seizure on the dance floor. I had to fight off one teacher from trying to stick a wallet in my mouth. He thought I was gonna swallow my tongue or something. People couldn’t believe what they’re seeing. IM IN THE TOP 10!
So then I go into this BUCKTOWN BOUNCE shake just trying to keep up with POPPIN PETE and everybody else. Then alittle DIRTY BIRD shake with a smooth transition into the ROBOT. JOHNNY 5 was alive! Now a few more kids get eliminated!
The top five is me, “Willie Wiggles” “Poppin’ Pete” “Newman Beatbox” and this kid who’s not part of Pete’s crew “Dance Armstrong”.
So I set it off with this hybrid DAME DASH dice roll shake. Im doing the shake with my left and trying to ROLL TRIPPS with my right. Im dropping invisible singles on the floor, blowing on my imaginary dice, all that. Its like im playing CEELO….with myself, right there on the dance floor.
Beatbox & Wiggles get CUT!
Now it’s TOP 3 and im staring to freak out. DANCE ARMSTRONG is coming on strong and POPPIN PETE is doing his usual thing. I come out of nowhere with some Lord of The Dance type footwork comboed with a Savion Glover type tap step. It didn’t faze either of them.
I see Dance Armstrong starting to slow down alittle so I decide to hit him with the FLINTSTONE FLOP. As soon as he sees that he just runs out of steam and hits the floor! He’s OUT!
This is it, the finals! Im not a big Phil Collins fan but I can feel it coming in the air tonight. I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord.
ME vs POPPIN PETE in the showcase showdown. The judges tell us this is gonna be a winner take all, no holds barred, sudden death shake off! We were like two gladiators in the Roman Coliseum except instead of swords our weapon of choice was dance. We start going at it and the place is going absolutely bananas.
Im movin’ & groovin’. Pete’s shuckin’ & jivin’. We’re going back and forth, it’s a dead heat.
I start doing this year 2019 slow motion ghetto matrix bullet time shake. People couldn’t believe it. Pete looked stumped. He looked at the judges and was like “Is that even legal?’ I just told him: “A real man doesn’t have to say NO SLO-MO!”
The crowd was like OOOOOOHHHHHHH.
We keep going back and forth but I can see Pete is fazed. He’s starting to get tired and his Harlem Shake looks like its drifting towards the Upper West Side. I’m just doing a fist pump shake and a 2 step. My adrenaline is pumping and it look like Pete’s legs are gonna buckle.
I felt like SUBZERO when I heard ANNA’s sweet German accent slice through the crowd and yell: “FINISH HIM!”
I know what had to be done. I just start shaking double time, triple time. The whole crowd was a huge blur, it was surreal. I slow down for a sec and look him right in the eye. The place goes silent. I just said “TIMBEEEEEERRRRR” then brushed the dirt off his shoulder.
THE KID JUST TOPPLED OVER!
I WON! Everybody came pouring out of the bleachers and rushed me. It was INSANE. Anna couldnt stick her tongue down my throat fast enough. They ended up giving me this GIANT cardboard check for $1000. YES! I got the money, power, and finally some RESPECT. I felt like a LOX song!
As of today Mom’s Benz is officialy in the shop getting fixed and I got $50 left over to try and buy my way into Anna’s pants. CRAZEST day of my life, I’m still trying to recover…
As most of you know I had some problems with switching computers and internet services and so on. But that is all taken care of now so it's all gravy baby. I must admit it's been awhile since I had broadband service and RoadRunner is indeed faster then Verizon. I feel like I'm running on a T-3 line. I jumped on the bandwagon and ditched Internet Explorer for Firefox...the fact that I add so much crap to the progam itself makes it ILL. I suggest others should do the same. ( GEEK WOA #1)
Yesterday John picked up the tickets for opening night for Star Wars Episode 3 : Revenge of the Sith and I am hyped! Sure it's like a month away but it's Star Wars! I have high hopes for this one after being somewhat dissapointed by the last two movies. Plus Sam Jackson is in it..who doesn't love Mace Windu!? ( GEEK WOA #2)
*RANDOM!!* Hummus is pretty damn fly...I've eaten it like three times this week. Who knew?? *RANDOM!*
Only have a few songs downloaded as of yet..here is my current playlist at the moment: Kanye West - Diamonds ( JUST RELEASED) Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. ( How dope are the Gorillaz..really?) Jimmy Eat World - Just Tonight.. The Chemical Brothers feat. Q Tip - Galvanize (Track is WOW) DJ Z Trip feat. Chester Bennington - Walking Dead ( Has anyone heard this one yet!?) The Bravery - Honest Mistake ( Sure they knock off The Killers with this whole 80s synth revival..but the song is awesome..so is the video BTW) Rob Thomas - Lonely No More ( ..heh..) The Used/My Chemical Romance - Under Pressure ( They did it justice..really!)
I'm going to go nuts later and just download and download..gotta fill the IPOD.
Peace,Love,Rap..and THE R.O.C! <>
- Justin
Kanye West has done it again by the way..his new track 'Diamonds' is so goddamn sick
Damn that title is the DARKNESS! XD! Forget the song and the title..I am in an awesome mood! The weather is a beautiful 60+ degees and sunny, I'm off from school and work today and I managed not only to buy my father exactly what he wanted for his birthday but I found Mobile Suit Gundam : Encounters In Space new for 14 bucks even! I'm SO HYPED since I was gonna drop 40 on it at EB!! XD!On that note my Ipod is coming in this week so I'll get started on filling it up with the kick ass tunes I love so much. I'm just so goddamn glad spring is here..time to break out the dope kicks and get to shopping for more ::Obession::
Adding to this day I'm going to see 'Sin City' tonight and I can't wait to see some brutal noir action. I am real glad they gave this movie such good reviews since I'm a big fan of Frank Miller and his works.
Random!! Random!! Two things I'm addicted to as of late. 1. A Current Affair on FOX 2. Strawberry Charleston Chews
I hope everyone is having a great day! Be on the watch for 'Shopping With Justin!!' a pic by pic travel with me to the city of Manhattan on a quest to reach my favorite store in the city..DQM.
Hey all! Happy Late Easter and all that...it was just another boring Sunday at the Barrett home due to the fact we had dinner at home.
I am just coming off my last day of 'Easter Break' from school and feeling good. In a couple of weeks me and the crew will be celebrating spring break in one of the most unknown places in the the world.
Cancun? No. Palmsprings? Nooo. San Fran? Nope.
This year Springbreak 2005 will be coming at you from BAY RIDGE,BROOKLYN! XD! Yes lame...we plan to hit up all the bars in the area over the week. We even have shirts made up that say 'Spring Break 2005 - BAYRIDGE,Bklyn'. Throw on some shorts..bring a beach ball to the bar and it's almost like uh Cancun..kinda..no? Well..damn.
I DO want to go to California next summer though. Something about the place really is pulling at me. I mean I don't know if I'd live there..but I think it will be different from the usual grey and bleek Manhattan. I've been told that the Bay Area is dope so that's where I'd like to pretty much stay. So we'll see what I can accomplish for next year.
Not much has been going on really..work..school and work. Work does suck due to the fact I was bitched around by asking for a day off to See Sarah and Ali..but there will be other times I'm sure. Sorry guys!
Oh! My uncle gave me a car! It's a Saturn..ngh..but 4 wheels are better then 2 heels. Ya know? The Illest will be rolling soon enough. XD!
Just saying I'm alive..well and will be updating the journal soon enough. Life has been a bit complicated as of late and I lacked updating before I figured it all out. Update soon!
