Stuff I did this week....

Large amounts of nothing was done last week. The weekend however was different. Saturday I went to my friend Will's house in Medford, Long Island. It was a long ass trip. I took the the subway to the LIRR, where I had to switch three trains to get to the middle of nowhere, but it was a pretty smooth ride. Josh and his girlfriend drove in from New Jersey to join us. Will lives in a nice neighborhood and his parents are really friendly, but to say I felt out of place is an understatement. I was probably the only black person within a 5 block radius. The ratio narrowed out when we made it to the mall. We had a hella fun time at the mall. We first stopped off at Ruby Tuesday because we were all starving. After we ate we went back to Will's and hug out for a few hours. We talked, we laughed, I played Will's brother's guitar and we all sang the Trogdor theme. After the revelry, we went to a party that Will's friend Al was having.

Here comes the high point of the day. Al's dog comes to see who's at the door. At first the dog was fine, sniffing around at the door as we were coming in. As we get settled in, the dog starts barking at us. I'm looking at the dog barking, and I notice it staring right at me. It didn't look like it was gonna attack me, it looked confused more than anything. I'm guessing I'm the first black person it's seen in a while...or ever for that matter. Josh said to Al , "I don't know, Al, your dog might be a racist!" That incident didn't stop me from enjoying the party. After a short while, the dog and I became good friends. He looked at me nervously while I was sitting down, so I gestured him to come over. I let him stiff my hand, and after he did that I guess he realized I was ok and we were cool after that. The party was good, everybody around me got wasted, with the exception of Josh, Angie (Josh's gf) and Will. I made sure Josh didn't get drunk because he had to drive back to New Jersey, not to mention he offered to drive me home. I met a girl named Brigette at the party, we talked for a good while, she seems like good people. Maybe I'll see her again one day. After the party, we dropped Will home and headed off into the darkness.

Today I had to stay at home to let the super fix the ceiling in my. He'll be fixing for the next two days because the ceiling is basicaly broken and needs to be replaced. Ah well. I'll be here trying to fix my website. I got an email today from my webhost saying my site got suspended because my site was taking up too many resources. I called up my webhost to find out whats going on, and apparently my blog is being overrun by spammers and all this spamming is slowing down the servers, in turn slowing down other websites. Interestingly enough, the blogging software that i'm using, b2evolution, is one of the most popular among spammers. The operator I talked to personally uses WordPress software, so I'm gonna try blogging with that for a little while, and if I like it, I'll be blogging with WordPress. We'll see how it goes.
