Ask Madden

What up. Good times back home, last night me and Nic went to go see Little Shop of Horrors performed by Stepinac high school in Westchester. Very good show, Audrey was amazing, Seymor got annoying at times but overall it was really good. They had some major sound issues too, but even simple ones like not EQed voices. Can't touch our show of course, cause we're awesome. Today should be good too, lesson later so I can sing about the waves of the ocean in italian. Looking foward, Family Guy this weekend! I bet everyone is pumped about that. AP tests are very soon, but I'm really all that nervous about those. I think I'll be good on Calc, not sure about English though, its gonna be hard considering Schneider and all. At least Palmero is our proctor. Oh, backtracking a bit, yesterday Six Flags was excellent. We rode front row on Batman to start the day, quite good; and to end we rode front row on Medusa. Rollar Coaster perfection. I'm so happy when I come off a rollar coaster, I need to get that in bottle form. I am joking of course. Matt put down your cell phone.

yo yo....to jofi nick ruthie mark karen (in order of star wars-ness), 6 tickets to the 12:01 showing have been purchased

yo yo....yesterday was very much fun! I got home and got ready immediateely and me and jenny went to get brittany from the airport. She started to freak cuz we were 20 minutes late but luckily her plane was delayed from 2:40 till 3:20. So we waited and she wasnt there. We moved from baggage claim up tot he terminal and didnt see her so went back down to baggage claim, although wee coudl onyl find the up escalator, but jenny went down it. I was reluctant to but a guy comign up it said "eh, go for it" so now that i had his permission i did. SHe eveentually came and we went straight to yankee stadium. We saw all the all the expensivee parkign and realized we didnt wanna pay madd money for parking, especially since wee didnt even know if we were gonna GET tix. We parked on some street and walked over to the stadium and of course bleachers sold out. But then of coursee walkign away we get offered tix from scalpeers like 100 times. I was a little bit weary, cuz the first guy wee talked to bout tix was standing neext to an empty cop car, so i was worried. We "browsed" around several scalpers, who were all very nice, tried to haggle with the tix wee wanted, and eventaully got our bleachers tix. Scalping is very fun, quitee exhilerating. Ive never sat in the bleachers before and didnt realize they really aren't a bad view. They even cooler cuz the people aree nuts there. There was a guy wearign an angels (team we were palying) hat and likee the whole bleachers was screamign asshole in his face. After the game we ran around and took some crazy picturees and then stopped at whitee castle on the way home. After that we went to steves house, called up garret, and me and steve and garret and brittany all had a "story-off" telling all of our most ridiculous stories, which is customary for when new peoplee hang out with group. Oh man, very crazy nite, crazy stories with good presentaion, def showed brittany a good time. seacrest out.

p.s.-although i didnt want constantine to win, i figured he would have made it to final 3! i still think it will come down to Bo and Carrie, they will have sex on stage and their baby will be the winner.

yo yo....i think i am too intense for people sometimes....i get paranoid, well not really paranoid but i get the feeling sometims that i like people a lot more than they like me, or like i previsouly said , am too intense. Sometimes i think that maybe just im different and maybe not everyone is like me. I get such simple joys out of little things. I am so used to im'ing people first all the time that if someone actually im's ME first i get all excited. So...to see how it will affect things i am going to not use instant messenger for as long as i can starting now and see how far i can go.....seacrest out....i mean yudman out.

yo yo....i jsut got back from a very good acting class. I had emailed my teacher and told her how im withdrawing from school, jsut so that she wouldnt worry when i didnt hand in my paper. Today before my scene she told me how much it meant that i still came to her class even though i didnt have to. After my scene she was praising me saying how all my emotions were not too much or too little and they were so real, and then she gave a little speech about how im gonna go far in life because of the respect i have shown for my class and my partner and for theater i will get back from life in return. Good times.

What up. Just got back from Florida, mad fun at Disney World. Monorail! I discovered that space mountain front seat is the best, most awesome, most "I feel like I'm gonna hit something and die any second" thrill ride! I love it. And speaking of space, the space between me and Nic is severly less, which I am happy about. And speaking of the space between, I may lose my job this summer due to a cut in the budget, so vote yes on May 17th or Janitor Joe is history. And finally, speaking of being jobless, who cares because Star Wars comes out! So excited, heres my list.
A) Jeans from seventh grade, very comfortable and airy due to excessive holes. May fall apart at any second. Some shirt, doesn't matter, and a zip up hoody in case the cold comes. Then again it will be hot in the theater due to so many people being pumped up.
B)Number six, biggie size. Coke. Wendy's is guarenteed to keep me satisfied. Heh, get it? "fied"? "Joefied"? Ok not funny.
C) Drink is tough because you need to balance "tasty" and "thirst quenching". Soda is tasty but will make you thirst, while water will cure the thirst but tastes like garbage (sometimes). I htink that I'm gonna go with a Mango Madness Snapple... tasty, and thirst quenching. And exotic too.
D) This will be tricky. To avoid the potential mess of the cup scenerio, which is gross, I will go as hard as i can before hand, and use my manly bladder control to sustain no bathroom for a prolonged period of time.

Any questions?

I have Star Wars tickets. They are hidden away, far from the eyes of prying thieves. Just thought I'd let everyone know...

yo yo....so i went to Loews today to see if they were selling tickets for Star Wars yet, the guy said no before finished asking, we asked and apparently a ton of people have already asked, including all of his friends. They are selling prolly first week of may he says. So now as the day looms, i have many decisions to make. I already know who im goin with (jofi nick karen mark) but i have to decide A) what i am going to wear B) what kind of snack to have C) what kind of drink to have D) backup plan incase i have to go to bathroom. Any help deciding would be appreciated.

A) I am thinking maybee pajama pants and a hooded sweatshirt, with a light t-shirt underneath. I want to be comfortable and have plenty of ventialtion so i can be completely comfortable for this experience.

B) Snack has to be something good, close the heart, bite size...sort of and not bathroom inducing.

C) Drink has to be hydrating, but not water cuz it has to bee tasty. I will make suree to have plenty of water before hand so i stay hydrated during the movie. I dont want somethign too acidic so i cant get heartburn during it.

D) A bottle of some sort with a large opening will need to be present just in case i have to go to the bathroom, cuz i swear i am not getting up during the movie. People on either side will be prepared to form human shields in case i do have to releive myself.

Hey everyone. Just doing a little check up with the readers, in case they were curious to what I've been up to. I Spent this past weekend up in cape cod with my mother, and I had a Splendid time. I went to the beach everyday, and walked/jogged on the sand, despite the cool wind off of the water. We went up there to do a little bit of work on my house there, and I took breaks to go to the beaches and enjoy the sunny weather. It was very enjoyable.

Then Sunday upon my arrival, I began to take part in the Fountain Day activities, Including the very fun "WORLD'S LARGEST PILLOW FIGHT" In which i got a free t-shirt and a free pillow. Then the fountain got turned on which was just tons of fun. There was a million people in the fountain, with a bazillion beach balls and it was a blast, until it got cold.

On a side note, I have taken an extreme liking to frisbee, I love it. It's soo much fun to play. Peace.

What up. Good day today I thought, well good for a Monday anyway. The finer points (and downsides):
1) Recorded Wind Ensemble for sound project, Nicole blew her solo, but it was enjoyable (shouting, Mike Will counting out loud, etc will make this hard to use)
2) That part in Tell Tale Heart, you know what I mean (Bobby squeaked)
3) Did an excellent edit in Sound (didn't finish though)
4) Read poems in Schneider....outside! (left kind of depressed)
5) Math: New Umbrella Man volume two first issue!! (final....tomorrow?)
6) I moved back to my seat in Physics (all is still not well)
7) Had a nice lunch with Nici (had to tutor delinquents before getting any lunch)
8) Going to visit Nic at work and get pictures from eighth grade developed (no downside really)

So that was and will be my day. Time for the 7th inning nap.

yo yo....i just came back from the track meet where i brought simba...as i was leeaving i put her in the passenger seat and buckled her up and the guy next to me rolleed his window down and said "ivee never seen someone buckle in a dog before" i said "well they gotta be protected!" he said "yea, i know, i jsut mean i never saw someone actually give a crap"

yo yo...i just came back from the open house at College of Aeronautics. Definitily a lot more excited bout goin there. With classes i got credit for already i can probably graduatee in 1 1/2 yrs, and i will bee gettign lot of scholarship/finanical; aid so it will rpeeety much be free. The more the people talkeed bout Air Traffic Controlling the more i cant wait to do it. He said once you complete the 6 weeks of training at the FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) training in Oklahoma City(which you can only do after you get at least an Associates degree from 1 of 13 licensed colleges, this one being one) you go through a little more on the job training for 1-3 yrs. You start at about 45-50 k when aree done with the training and after the 1-3 yrs you will be making 6 figures! Thee guy was sayign when he took a tour of a radar facility all the guys were wearing shorts and flip flops and the supervisors were walking around in tank tops and sandals! i cant wait!

What up. Yes I know I've been lazy, for a pseudo explanation of why, see Wing Night. Anyway, tonight I went to see Madama Butterfly, a very sad yet very emotionally charged Opera with the Italian class I'm not in. I loved the opera, what great music. And it was just a very good night overall, we ate at a little cafe next to Lincoln Center, sat by the fountain, saw Gong (ok the night wasn't perfect.....ahahahaha.....Just kidding crazy). Most of the bus ride home was spent semi-sleeping, but it was nice anyway. And when I got home I decided I've spent too much time away from my blogging responsibilities, I know you all care so deeply about me and the events of my every day life. No, actually you probably couldn't care less what sandwich I ate today. But tomorrow morning I'm getting a sobo, and I'm really happy about that. God damnit I want to say it somewhere.

yo yo....the most terrible thing just happend. I was playing CS and thought i saw a shadow scurry in the closet area, i saw ti again and it was a MOUSE! I jumped atop my chair , then to my bed and called mark. I was wearing sandals so i was afraid of it biting my ankles. And now i have to pretend the floor is hot lava. Mark came with a pretzel keg and we were tryign to get it into it but it was hiding, we got it behind my dresser and tried to choke it out with axe. He got tired and left, so i might sleep in his room tonite.

yo yo...weird dream last nite. I was riding this rollerocaster that went all the way across the San Francisco Bay all the way to Oregon (i know geographically it don't make sense but it happend) and it was a corkscrew the whole way across. I think Jofi was with me, not sure, but when it came back karen was working there, i think part of her appalachia crap.

yo yo...today was very busy, so busy i didnt even have time for a mid afternoon nap. I woke up 35 minutes late for acting but when to class and performed well anyway. Last week i was doin my scene and my teahcer was telling me in front of the class after it how its amazing how i act so naturally with my face and genuinly look like i am lsitening and reacting naturally to what my partner was sayin, she kept saying it was truly remarkable and that felt good. anyways, so then after that me and mark ate lunch and got into Ninja attire cuz liz and jenny were at an albany tour so we were gonna freak out the tour group, but they cut the tour so they come to our quad and watched me and mark play ninja frisbee and do some ninja fighting. After that i had a test and then mark liz jenny and i went downtown and played frisbee in a park. They went home and me and mark worked out, then we ate dinner and i napped.

I was on a downlaoding service and was lookin at the chatting going on, and i saw an itneresting question......"Is it better to lose your virginity quickly to experience sex and thus be a better partner for the one you care for down the road, or save it for that person?" thoughts?

yo yo....so tonite i was eating cups of soups with mark and chris. I was stirring mine with a fork and i poked a hole in the side by accident and it started to come out. I put my hand under it but it was very hot, so i picked it up and started running around very nervous so smoo told me to put it over the garbage, then he escorted me to the bathroom where we fixed the situation, problem solved.

yo yo....tonite when me mark and smoo went to play poker my hat and sweatshirt matched (orange, my favorite color to wear), smoo said its important for guys to match, and that girls like that. mark commented on how exact my matching was so i decided im going to start modeling now.

yo yo....i miss 12th grade english where our class would start random chants at random times....more to come when i get back to school
