King Baby's Crazian Persuasion

Everything was going pretty well from the last time I wrote... pretty well until yesterday, I got out of work and sat in 2 hours of traffic on the BQE the traffic watch said there was an accident on the BQE west bound blocking 2 lanes. So I did what most normal folks do I hoped off near the tunnel and decided to take local... BAD idea for the first time in my 13 years of driving the drawbridge warning came down five cars ahead of me. I didn't even realize that there was a drawbridge there. Well my shortcut ended up costing me a half hour and then another hour after that just navigating because there is an unbelievable amount construction under the BQE again...sigh.... Well this is where it gets better (not really) I get home and I have terrible headache. A few hours later I now have the chills and a 101 fever. I ended up calling out of work hoping a good nights rest would fix me, but it didn't. I felt worse this morning and I dragged myself to the doctor. I now had a 103 fever and my blood pressure was through the roof (probably from dehydration). They ended up giving me IV fluids and antibiotics. So now I'm at my mother in law's watching italian tv and drinking gatorade...with any luck I'll be better tomorrow.

Well today was a very interesting day, I had to go to Brooklyn to get retested for a drug screening for the hopeful job. Everything went well and for the second time in a row I was lucky enough to find parking right in front of the building...just dumb luck to get parking in downtown BK at 9AM and just crazy to get the same spot both times I had to go there. So far so good right? Well it got better frannie and the baby were on the way home and I ended up getting a call from the Don to have lunch which worked out nicely. The Don's mom even showed up to play with the baby which was great. All in all a great day indeed. Pending the second drug test it should be a go for academy sometime the end of October. Everything falling into place MWAHAHAHAHA...

2 days ago an important and much loved family member of mine passed away... Our almost 10 year old ferret Daisy. My wife Frannie loved that rat so much and so did I for that matter. She learned many tricks in her lifetime but none more endearing than giving kisses on command. I figured a great way to honor and remember her would be to re-tell how she came around to becoming our first "kid" together. Frannie and I were in a Petco on Central Avenue in Yonkers not too far from our college when we saw a cute little runty ferret getting pushed around in the ferret tank. We asked to look at her and it was obvious she and Frannie had some weird bond. Frannie wanted to take her home but we were broke college kids...we couldn't afford the 120 just for the ferret, let alone the supplies and cage which rounded the total to well over 300 dollars. But there was hope in the figure of a baggy jeaned petco employee. as we were walking out the guy who helped open the cage for us comes up to me and asks if I really wanted the ferret because he would get it for me at a discounted price. I said sure and he said he would come right back and to meet him in the back of the lot by the dumpsters. Now frannie and I were not really thinking, I guess in my mind I thought he would buy the ferret and supplies using his employee discount and pass the savings to us. Frannie and I are in the back lot waiting for him when he comes out with a trash bag. He tells me it'll be 100 for everything I was like ok when do I come back for the ferret and the supplies? He laughs pulls Daisy out from his pants and says he put a starter cage, bedding, food, and toys in the garbage bag...hahaha i figured out what was happening, thanked him and sped all the way back to campus hoping to god there weren't any cameras in the Petco lot...We decided to name her Daisy and she stayed with us for a few semesters hidden under my bed until she came home to fran's parents house where she romped, bit ankles, and terrorized cats all day until she passed. She was a very very special ferret, smarter than most ferrets I had ever seen and smaller than most large rats.... Daisy never grew in size from the day we brought her home, she stayed our little runt and entertained us day in and day out. She even outlived her younger, bigger Ferret siblings Lilly and Casey. I'm sure they are all wrecking havoc together wherever they are...I miss you fuzzbutt.

O.K. a good friend of mine entered into a difficult but exciting time in his life and decided to start a blog because of a lost bet...i was slowly sucked in and found myself reading his ramblings whenever i could. I found it to be theraputic and in a way comforting in my own trials and tribulations. I slowly found out more of my friends had blogs... i didn't even know...kind of weird for the guy once known for being the go to guy for computers and tech stuff...i barely logged on to my computer anymore, i checked email once a week...what had i become? my father who is in his 60's had become more tech savvy than i...so i did what any logical nerd would do, i built a new computer from scratch, made new email accounts and aim accounts, joined facebook and finally gave in and bought a blackberry...and so now i find myself wondering why i had not started a blog earlier. Here i go...
