I have just learned

that Craigslist has a 'free' section. Apparently, people list stuff they don't want, and you contact them and set up a time to pick it up. Someone in DC has listed a ping-pong table. If only I had room.

Happenings

As of 30 min. ago, I have 2 interviews down in florida: one at Pine School or one at North Broward Prep. Both are Prep schools and I'm angry cause I'm gonna have to take out all my piercings (no surprize there, jerks). Anyveys, I just reserved my tickets and Pine school is gonna pay for half...sweet. While I'm down there, I might as well go and apply to the Piper cub airplane making place too...and my the best paying job win.



So I now have to work for the father once again, but the best part is that tomorrow I will be driving to the Rush concert. WOOOOOOO.....I think. Joe and/or Brendan, please contact me about what the itinerary is. I just work here, buddy.


Ok, so I will be going to Stonybrook. If people need a place to put extra cars, or anything of that sort, Bristol is pretty close to Stonybrook (relatively). After Stonybrook, I will be camping w/Dave in Mauntauk, then possibly over to joe's (pending) or up to Maine to visit the cousin (pending). And then I'll be going down to Florida to teach and live (pending job).

So much for free time.

By the way....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE FEIN_GOLD_ENSTEIN_VERBERG. MAY YOUR CUP RUNNETH OVER AND YOUR CHILDREN NEVER KNOW WHO'S THEIR DADDY.

oh, and by the way

Everyone that currently belongs to this blog is an admin, so everyone should be able to make changes to the format/picture/text/title if you feel it necessary.

You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor...

Hi everyone. I'm at work right now. For those of you not in the know, I started my new job at the World Bank in Washington, DC on Monday. It runs through October 24. The department that I work in is in charge of processing applications for the World Bank-International Monetary Fund annual meeting, held in late October. Banks send long lists of delegates to our office, and we clear them for admission, respond telling them that they've been admitted, and then when it comes time for the meeting, actually issue them badges allowing them to enter. Pretty straightforward, clerical stuff. Unfortunately, if no one sends any information to us that needs to be processed, our department doesn't really have anything to do. That's where we're at now. I have spent the past three days going over details of the trip to Stony Brook and graduate school stuff, alternately. It's been nice, because I'm making money to do the things I would normally have to do anyway, and I'm not exposed to dangerous, festering plants like Jeff is. My search for graduate schools has been kind of fruitful, I guess, but confusing at the same time. Because I don't have initial certification like most teaching candidates at this point in their careers, I have to apply for more non-traditional programs, it seems. Some schools, like Geneseo, don't even offer programs to people who aren't initially certified (bastards). Binghamton, Albany, and Brockport, the three schools I have spent the most time looking at, offer three completely different programs. Has anybody else spent time looking at graduate schools, or is anyone interested to moving to one of these three locales in late December-early January? c'mon, you know you want to!

P.S.

Does anyone want to join a fantasy football league? Give me your e-mail address if you do!

AFLAME!

So here's an update on 'ole Jeffy. I have had a wonderfully relaxed summer; all I do is play basketball all day long and drink some of my homemade beer by night (this batch called Brownstorm, Wasagastorm is on the way!). Things couldn't be better! THEN, the unimaginably unthinkable happened!!!! I was doing some outdoor chores for my parental units, including the act of weeding, when I was smitten by the eternal itch-blight of the vile Iviceron (this is my attempt to make my current suffering of poison ivy more exciting). My face quickly swelled to three times the size of a gluttonous walrus with 3.76 throbbing goiters and a tumultuous, trumpet fanny (what?). Luckily, my Doc put me on steroids! WOOO! Anyways, I have been wasting my last few days away doing nothing, for I am not allowed to perspire or be exposed to the sun in fear that my itch-blight might turn into the cancerous bubonic AIDS yeast infection titty boner shark plague. However, since the ingestion of steroids I am healing up nicely, AND MY BICEPS HAVE GROWN TO THE SIZE OF A MOUNTAIN OF BURNING, VEINY KITTENS FROM HELLLLLLLL (not really)!!!!!
On a different note, I have just landed an apartment in Geneseo for my upcoming year in grad school. I will be living in a nice little apartment on 65 Center Street. Starting in September, everyone is invited to visit and stay over! Wooooo hoooo! I'm very sorry I cannot take part in the super mega camping trip of awesomeness, but I had a camping trip already planned for that weekend waaay in advance. I AM MISSING YOU ALL SORELY (butts butts butts butts). HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!

P.S. Hats off to for creating this blog, it is a wonderful idea I do believe!

CREATION

This blog has been created so that members of the Dragoncloud may share stories of their life. Please post as often as possible. I thought it appropriate that the first post on this site should be a 61-message drunken tirade from one, Joseph B. Feinsilver, in which he makes many profound and important points:
