Whoa. I haven't touched this site in ages. Big things have been going on on YouTube though, so go look at that: http://www.YouTube.com/CurtainGuy

That's where I've been doing most of my stuff for the past year.

Updated the Horrible Jokes.

My mistake.. it turns out Dan really DID try to call his Dad and explain that night; his Dad's cell just wasn't on him at the time. Kudos to him for trying to help me out. And I'm sure it would have been way too awkward to say anything in the car while I was right there. Dan is really not a Tibetan monk after all.

11/26/07

So a bunch of interesting things happened this Thanksgiving break that I think are worth writing about.

There was a little get-together going on in the city for all my old roommates and a few close friends from college. I decided I'd go together with my roommates, so I drove to Garden City in Long Island, left my car on the street next to my friend's house. Due to some misunderstanding of when our train to the city leaves, we realized we might miss it if we didn't hurry. So my roommate, Marathon Runner Mike, decides to sprint the entire fucking way there. He also forgets that I have asthma and that I really can't be dashing around in the freezing cold. So Mike's yelling at me in the distance to stop being so slow, while I'm clutching at my chest, gasping for air..


Little known fact- Mike is secretly a Kenyan marathon runner.


Maybe if Marathon Mike stopped running like a madman for 2 seconds he would have realized we could have driven to the train station, parked on a side street, and walked about 30 seconds to get there. HAHAHA... silly Mike.
When we arrived at the city I could finally breathe again, which was nice. We went to this cool little bar called House of Brew, and actually had a pretty awesome time. Buuut no one wants to hear about that, let's get to the good stuff-

At around midnight, Mike and a couple of other friends leave pretty suddenly. Twenty minutes later I get a call from him warning me that if my car is parked on his street past 2AM, it can get ticketed or towed. I check the train schedules, and the next train doesn't arrive in Garden city 'til about 2:30 in the morning. Uh oh.

Thankfully my roommate Dan came up with a good idea- I could take the train home with him to Little Neck which arrived much earlier, and his Dad, who was picking him up anyway, could just drop me in Garden City. No sweat!
Now, a little background info before the next part of the story: I love Dan and all, but he has this tendency to not speak up in certain situations. He'll either keep quiet or let someone else do the talking.

As we're waiting for the train, I asked Dan if he explained the situation to his dad. Namely, that Mike messed up and that's why I need this last-minute ride to Long Island. Dan says he didn't really give all the details. I insisted that he explain so I don't look like some irresponsible punk who lost track of time and is taking advantage of other people for his own fuckups. Not to mention I'm sure Dan's Dad isn't exactly thrilled to be up at 2 to pick him up, let alone drive his idiot friend all the way to Long Island. Dan says he will explain in the car.


On the train ride home, Dan became a monk and swore an oath of silence.


When we actually did get in the car.. Dan didn't say a word, like I had feared. It was a very long, uncomfortably quiet, awkward car ride. Dan's Dad barely said a word, even when I thanked him.. which given the circumstances I kind of understand. I'd be livid if I was up that late and had to play taxi cab for my kid's seemingly irresponsible friend.

Luckily we got there before my car was towed. But as I'm driving home, I'm about to change lanes and I notice my driver's side mirror is all smashed up. How the hell does that happen on a big empty road in a classy neighborhood in Long Island!? Was some drunk bitch running around kicking in mirrors that night? Maybe Marathon Mike was sprinting home in a drunken stupor and ran right into my mirror. Who the hell knows.

If you don't know me or you're new to this site, this is something I've had since I was in highschool. There's a lot of random crap all over the place; some inside jokes, and some stuff that anyone might find amusing.

A lot has been going on in the past few months, but that's a story for another time. Jim and I stumbled upon a video from a YouTube user with a strange affinity for balloons. Allow me to introduce you to Billoon45- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRuxCs-Ojno.

Jim has been getting pretty good at video editing lately, and he figured that would be a good video to experiment with. We had some fun with it:



It was really just an experiment with Premeire we didn't expect it to be perfect. I'm already anticipating YouTube comments like "swallow a knife!" or "whoooore!!" I always got a kick out of those anyway.

April Fools 2007 (part 1).


3/20/07

I just had the following conversation with my roommate:

"Josh, you really need to take some of your old food out of the fridge. Like this chicken... is this your chicken?"
"What? No, I haven't made chicken in months."
(long pause)
"Dear god... That's my chicken isn't it."

Cleaning my fridge could totally be a new event on fear factor. After diving out of a flaming car careening off a cliff and eating monkey poop, you'd have to throw out that tuna salad I made last winter.

3/13/07

Some dude just came into the helpdesk for a problem with his laptop, so I made him fill out our little form saying he won't sue if we break his computer. Anyway, I had to record his name later, and on the line where it says "Print Your Name Legibly", he signed his name, very illegibly. So I thought, damn, if this his idea of printing his name legibly, what the hell does his signature look like? I glanced down the page and on the signature line it looks like he drew a dish with decorative fruits on it, or maybe a dude riding a horse. It reminds me of one of those inkblots... everyone sees something different. Apparently I think a lot about... home decor and rugged western men.

I can't put the guy's actual signature on here, so I'll recreate it as accurately as possible:

From YouTube? The sheet music you're looking for is here.

Apparently there is/was some major spamming going on on YouTube; I think they took my responses to the people who requested sheet music as spam, and they were never sent.

1/6/07


-New feature: Gift Analysis 101.
-Added some new IM Logs.
-Finished some sheet music for the people from YouTube.

I had a good amount of free time this break so I was able to finish a feature with my friend Aaron, as well as update a few other things. There're a couple of new IM logs... and I finished writing some sheet music for a bunch of people on YouTube who have been requesting it.

Did anyone else see James Brown's funeral on the news earlier this week? Holy crap what a ROCKIN' funeral! There was some soul singer totally jamming out, people were up dancing and clapping, MC hammer was there (seriously, I think he's a reverend now)... and right in the middle of it all was an open coffin containing James Brown's corpse! Holy crap! That's totally how my funeral's gonna be. Man, it'll be so bitching my friends are gonna wanna kill me right now. Live music, open bar, maybe a comedian or some acrobats... people will be DYING to go!! Hahahahaha!!!

-Updated the Random Quotes.

You know, it's so hard to come up with things to say these days. I have a lot to talk about, but nine out of ten times it's something I shouldn't be putting online. I always hated when people put really personal things or gossip about other people on their public website. There've been a few times in the past where I would check out a friend's/ex's livejournal or xanga to find entire Anti-Josh entries. It's especially bad when they don't even talk to you about it first.

And any time you think "nah they probably won't see it"... they will. It could be your ex, your little sister, or your amish grandma; against all odds, they will find a way on the internet and they will see all the horrible things you've been saying. Then they'll go ahead and put a vague reference to it in their away message, and you'll be all like, "hey is grandma talking about ME?". But she'll just be like "no lol I was talking about Stoltzfus"... but you know it has to be about you. So you keep asking, and eventually she's just like "lol i g2g build a barn", she signs off, the issue is never resolved, and things are awkward for the next month.

-Updated the Random Quotes.

I had my first Black Friday experience this break. Because I live in a bubble, I wasn't really sure what to expect. A couple of friends told me all the good deals are only in the morning, and to get up at 5AM the latest. I decided I just wouldn't sleep, since I'd only be getting about half an hour of rest anyway. My dad saw me up in the morning and said I was "crazy" and only "crazy people will be shopping this early". Well apparently the entire population of Earth is crazy because it was complete insanity in every store I went to. A friend of mine told me she saw some guy who got nailed in the leg by a car at around 5:45, and an ambulance had to take him away. Man, I'd be pretty pissed if I got up that early to buy all the cool crap on sale and got hit by a car. I hope the hospital was doing some kinda Black-Friday emergency medical response earlybird special.

After thanksgiving I noticed we had a leftover bottle of unopened apple cider. I was pouring some to drink when my brother warned me that it was only supposed to be used for cooking and marinating turkeys or something. My brother likes to just.. make shit up sometimes, so I ignored him and started drinking. I thought "Wow, this is REALLY sweet..." and I drank a little more. I started feeling kinda queasy, so I stopped, looked at the bottle and realized my brother wasn't lying. It was some kind of ultra-concentrated mix that's used for cooking and to make cider when you add a LOT of water. I think I drank the equivalent of about ten cups of apple cider. Gross.

-Added a new Piano Video.
-Updated WWJD.
-Updated the Random Quotes.

Lately I've had some pretty bad writer's block. I'm not sure what to talk about. I can't think of any ridiculous, wacky Josh-stories so I'll just say what's been up the past month. I'm still going through a quarter-life crisis and have no idea what to do after college. I also have a terrible case of senioritis. It's like my highschool senioritis never went away, and now I have double-senioritis.

What else.. we recently had a huge thanksgiving dinner. Half the people coming cancelled so I've been eating leftover turkey for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the entire week. I also started taking up guitar.. guitar HERO that is, which is totally just as cool as real guitar. Real guitar is basically the same thing when you remove all the strings, put buttons on it, and hook it up to a Playstation. I'm getting kind of bored with it, but my friends are hooked. There's someone in my apartment playing it pretty much all the time.. even as I type this. I also got a Nintendo Wiiiiii... that I have absolutely no time to play. That reminds me.. I always see this guy through the window of a neighboring building jumping around waving his remote control at the TV. I'm pretty sure he has a Wii too. Either that or he gets REALLY into television. I kind of want to walk outside his window with my wiimote and join him in whatever he's playing. I'm not sure if he would be really amused, or just call the police.

I updated a few things around the site, so go ahead and look around. I'll try to think of something more exciting to talk about next time.

Just noticed that a few days ago someone found my site by searching for "Women Pissing Backwards" on google... Well, whoever you are, you've come to the right place! Enjoy!!

-Added that thing over there on the right --->
-Leave me some feedback!

I've made a new cooking discovery! Rosemary tastes good on EVERYTHING. You can't go wrong. Put it on your vegetables, chicken, ice cream... For breakfast, you can put some on your bagel. Sometimes, when I don't have any more bagels, I put it in my Fruit Loops. You can even use it in your day-to-day routine. If you run out of bath soap... rosemary. If you still have soap... rosemary. Oh and those scents on dryer sheets.. "Mountain Spring"? "Cottage Garden"? "Forest Tundra"!? Lame. ROSEMARY is where it's at. Well actually last time, a little got inside my dryer and set my clothes on fire... but with a hint of rosemary, it smelled great!

-Updated the pics.

All the spam mails I've been getting have flooded my inbox so hopelessly that I can't even log in to my site's email anymore. I've changed my site's address to the one up there, and I typed it like that so it doesn't get picked up by spammers. Sorry if you've emailed me using the old address in the past couple of months; I probably didn't see it.

We have a new uniform requirement at the helpdesk this year. If we're wearing a t-shirt with any kind of picture or logo on it, we have to wear a helpdesk apron. Yes, we have helpdesk APRONS now. APRONS. You know, so we don't get.. computer on us. I'll make as many lame cooking references as I can when I have to wear it. "I need a dash of help over here Matt... this girl's computer isn't booting into Windows. I let it sit for a good twenty minutes and it's still not ready. She thinks she has a smidgen of spyware.. but I don't know, maybe her harddrive's fried." I should start asking customers if they want fries with their wireless access, or I could put on some oven mitts and start handing out antivirus CDs on a little baking tray.

I'll try to get a picture next week.

-Updated the Everything Else page.

I've been on youtube a lot this summer, and the comments people leave on videos piss me off to no end. There was one movie where some girl was rapping about something funny she saw on youtube; silly and harmless. Then I look at the comments... I think at least 300 people called her a whore... a few people told her to "swallow a knife"... and one person told her she was insulting the entire black community by rapping. I mean, I know there are idiots everywhere you go, but the sheer magnitude of cockmongers on the internet is fucking astonishing. It's impossible to fight them all, but from time to time I'll see some pretty witty comebacks. Here's a few from a guy who posted a video of him playing a jazzy version of moonlight sonata (although these comments pretty harmless compared to the crap I've seen):

lovemyspace (2 days ago)
This is just playing chords with both hands alternating with the simple rhythm like at the start and kinda just punctuating all other notes (triplets in right hand).


vampiresoup (2 days ago)
Is it? Wow.


Aerthe (2 days ago)
I've got to agree, there's no spark to this. You could do the same thing with ave maria. Pieces like this are not supposed to be played in 'jazz' as you called it. Try something a little challenging.

vampiresoup (2 days ago)
Thanks for the suggestion! Next time Ill try gluing the piano to the ceiling while playing the Well Temperd Clavier backwards.


Oh, and it's Homestar Runner's 10th anniversary!

Okay, here's the deal. Josh is on vacation. He has temporarily passed the proverbial baton to me to update his page while he is gone. I had some really crappy update ideas.. and some ideas that would probably tick him off (replacing the current site with a somewhat...... pornographic one). Now don't expect a "wacky story" or witty banter. I am here to be serious.

Actually, no, no I am not. I am here to unveil a new addition to OffTargetOnTheJosh.com! A really crappy, yet, somewhat entertaining PC game based on this amazing page. Want a description? Well, write down the three best games you ever played on a piece of paper... then crumple it up and set it on fire. This game is nothing like any of them because they were probably good.

What do we have for you today? It's not the whole game....of course not, you'll have to pay for that: 1 baby-soul U.S., (6 baby-souls for you Canadian readers) It's a sort of Alpha or Beta version game. With it you'll get a taste of how EXTREME this crazy game really is!

So, you're asking yourself "Why would I play this, I don't like Video Games?"

Even if you don't like playing Video Games think of this: "Hey, I can finally get Josh to jump down a chasm into a pit of spikes!!" It's everyone's dream come true. So, basically, there is no reason what-so-ever for you to not download this game... unless you have a Mac. Give it a try:

Click here to download the demo!!

Oh... and what is a game without some sort of advertisement. Don't expect to see this in a magazine somewhere, this is straight off the press right into your face!

Click here to see the EXTREME game ad!!

Wow, I went all of July without updating, I guess it's time to put something here. It's just tough to come up with things to write about in the summer.. not a lot happens. It's hard to write a wacky story about doing laundry or taking a shower... although now that I think about it, I've done both of those things on the site. So, the last couple of months, where to start?

Summer '06

I went hiking again in Massachusetts and decided to actually jump into the falls this time...



The water was a little colder than I expected.

I've also been getting really good at cooking; it's not as hard as I thought it'd be.








Oh, and I'm sure all of you have seen Pirates 2 by now. I went with a bunch of friends to the first showing at midnight. They all dressed up in their best pirate outfits. I didn't have a pirate costume.. but I didn't want to feel left out, so dressed up as Darth Vader. The best part is- pretty much no one came in costume. Imagine hundreds of kids waiting in line at the movies... then six pirates and Darth Vader come along and get behind them. Unfortunately, you're all going to have to take my word for this because the only kid with a picture deleted it before sending it to anyone.

I'm still working in the Child Psychology Lab here in Albany... and my friends still think it sounds incredibly sketchy. I just don't get it, how many times do I have explain this!?

All I do is put children in a small room and give them snacks and toys to play with...



Then, I video tape them from behind a one-way mirror...



....and spend several hours later watching the tapes.



Glad I could clear that up.


So when I'm not watching tapes of little kids, cooking, or dressing up as the wrong characters for movies, my roommates and I will find other ways to entertain ourselves:




Now that I think about it, this summer hasn't been too eventless after all. In fact, this has been one of my most productive summers yet; spent entirely doing important, ground-breaking, vigorous, action-packed... stuffs.




6/3/06

-Updated the horrible jokes.

Well I'm finally back upstate in my brand new apartment. I will never live in another dorm again after this, I love this place. It's like I don't live in SUNY Albany anymore... I look outside and instead of a barren wasteland of concrete I see TREES and GRASS. We have air conditioning so I no longer have to sleep surrounded by six fans. We have more than one sink now so my three roommates and I no longer have to hover around one tiny sink waiting for our turn to spit or wash our hands.

So, some things from the past week worth mentioning:

I've been learning how to cook, which is going okay but I'm still having some trouble with a few things. My Mom tried to teach me a few recipes before I came up here.. I don't know how she does it, she can cook like six things at once with perfect precision. When I try to crack open an egg it explodes in my hand and little bits of eggshell stab me in the eye. When I try to split spaghetti in half to toss in a pot, shards of pasta will fly through the air, rain down on me and poke me in my eggshell wounds.

On my second day in Albany I took a little trip to Bash Bish falls in Massachusetts with my friend Mandy and her friends, which was a blast. I thought I had been hiking before but holy crap was I wrong. I figured we'd all just frolick through the woods, maybe skip over a few stones.. well it WAS like that, for about five seconds. We had to climb like 45 hills that seemingly had no end and jump over slippery jagged rocks... Mandy is a pretty seasoned hiker so she was hopping over rocks like some kind of winged monkey... and walking up mountains sideways and shit. She says the way I describe her hiking makes her sound like superwoman or something. To be fair, I guess I am exaggerating a little.

So later on the trail we climbed over one of those "do not cross" fences, and I was like "I dunno if this is such a good idea guys." Then this crazed grizzly bear popped out from behind a tree and started charging at us!! They say when you run into a bear in the woods, you're supposed to play dead... but Mandy wasn't having that! Just as the bear was about to claw my face off, she shoved me out of the way and headbutted the bear right in the FACE! As the bear was howling in pain, Mandy reached down its throat with her hand and tore out its beating heart!! Then, with her arms extended towards the sky, she soared away into the sunset. I guess I still have a lot to learn about hiking.

I was taking a look at my hits and noticed that someone from Dakar, Singapore entered into a search engine "half naked women pissing into a cup" and found my site. I'm sure they were not disappointed.

-Put a little "first time here" thing up there ^^^

I've been especially annoyed with reslife this past semester. Every time we have to go home for a vacation, they'll close the dorms and set a certain time for everyone to be out by. I go to school three hours away from home so it's a pretty stressful drive, especially when I have to go through New York City (I swear, the second you enter NYC, every driver instantaneously becomes an asshole). I like to take a short nap before the long drive, but reslife is determined to make sure this never happens.

Okay, first off, I know when the fuck I'm supposed to leave. There are signs all over my building saying "be out by 6:00". The day we were supposed to leave for winter break, I got back to my room at 3:00 and decided to take a short nap before I left. About five minutes into my nap I was woken by a pounding on my door. I hear loud yell: "RESLIFE! KEYING IN!", followed by the footsteps of someone walking around in my commonroom. I shout through my door "CAN I HELP YOU!?" and the RA says something like "Just wanted to let you know, you have to be out by 6:00". I yell back "THANK YOU I KNOW WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO LEAVE!" About half an hour later I hear the same guy knocking on my door again to tell me the same thing. He tells me that the RAs can't leave until the students leave. I respond that the time I'm required to leave by is 6:00, and I'll be gone before then. Seriously, if the reslife staff wants to leave early, then why don't they make the fucking time I'm required to leave earlier?

I get along pretty well with the RA on my side of the building, so I thought she might understand my situation. When she came over the night before spring break to remind my suite that we were supposed to leave at 6:00, I told her that I usually get back from class/work late in the afternoon and that I would be taking a nap before I left. I also mentioned what happened last time I tried to do this. The next day, at about 3:10, I was sitting in the crapper minding my own business when I heard a pounding on my door. "RESLIFE! RESLIFE!!! KEYING IN!!!"

The next thing I know I'm seated with my pants around my ankles while an RA is wandering around my room. I start screaming from the toilet "I'M IN THE FUCKING BATHROOM! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!!!" After I finished my business I stormed out into the hallway and found my RA, along with another, pounding on doors around the hall. I asked my RA why they keyed into my room after the whole conversation I had with her the day before. She responds "Well we can only leave when everyone else is gone." TOUGH SHIT! I'm not going to change my schedule just for you, and I'm sure no one else will. Stop harassing us and invading our privacy! I'm sure you wouldn't like me busting into your room while you're doing your business... "IT'S JOSH! I'M CLIMBING THROUGH YOUR WINDOW!" Like I said before, if you want us out earlier, make the time we have to leave earlier!

You know what, it's alright. I understand that you guys want to get home early; you can key into my room. Just a friendly warning though... sometimes after I take a shower I might forget my towel, so I'll just walk out and air dry myself in the commonroom. It takes awhile so sometimes I'll listen to some music while I'm waiting, maybe dance around a little. So hey, if I just happen not to hear anyone at the door, well... not my problem.

(Choosing the Right Away Message)


This past weekend I drove down to SUNY Purchase to surprise my friend Anna for her birthday. Planning huge elaborate surprises is one of my favorite things. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I was going to do. Her friends at Purchase wanted to hide me in her room in some random place and have me pop out and give her a heart attack... but I thought that wasn't extreme enough. I was considering waiting 'til she got back to her room, then giving her a call:

"Anna!!! Oh my God.. I'm on a plane and.. one of the engines blew out and we're crashing! I'm going to jump!!! AHHhHhh!!!"

Then I would come crashing through the plaster of her ceiling naked and on fire, roll around on the ground for awhile, dust myself off, and yell out "SURPRISE!!!!!" There wasn't enough room in her dorm to roll around and extinguish the flames though, so I had to pass.

What actually happened was I hid in a neighbor's room and waited for Anna to get back to her dorm. Then I called her up, started a normal conversation, and casually walked into her room while talking. I stood right next to her for about three seconds... she looked up... looked back down... looked up again... and screamed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!??!?!?!?!" to which I replied, "Uh, hang on I'm on the phone."

Also, there's a new feature on the site I've been working on with my friends for the past couple of weeks.

Recently Gillette came out with this new razor... the "Fusion". You might have seen commercials for it before it was sold in stores- they looked like they were coming attractions for some kind of intense sci-fi action movie. It has FIVE blades and an extra "hidden" blade on top. I think this thing is totally overkill.. they say it causes less irritation but it rapes my face every time I use it. Five blades wasn't enough for most people though, so a rival company, Gillette (with three "l"s) took it to the next level:

The Gilllette Morphosis

-My computer is going to be down for a little while, so that means I won't be on AIM that much. If you need to get in touch, try calling or emailing. I'll try to put a real update later in the week, it's tough without my own computer. For now, I leave you with this:

Here in Albany, we've had the past week off, but I haven't been able to enjoy much of it. One of my professors assigned a 2000 word essay due right after break... an essay on the HOLOCAUST. Who does that?! If he was a kindergarten teacher, right before Christmas he'd probably tell the kids there was no santa.. or that christmas was cancelled because santa has to write a 2000 word paper on the holocaust.

Even after I finish the paper, I still have more to do. I work in a child psycholgy lab this semester, and I have to memorize a paragraph for this experiment where we see how long a four year old can resist eating a cookie for a prize. The paragraph starts out kind of like "This is your snack, but I have some things to do with your mom. I'd like you to wait to eat your snack until I get back." I've been trying to practice on my friends, but they just keep laughing every time I tell them I have something to do with their mom.

A lot of people seem to get offended when I tell them I work in a child psych lab, like I must do terrible things to children. We pretty much just let them play with toys and crap, it's not that big a deal! It's not like we start an experiment with:

"Would you like chocolate chip or oreos?"
"Oreos!"
"Okay, that means you're gay. I'll go get your oreos."

I don't think many people understand that just because we have the word "help" in helpdesk doesn't mean we help with everything... we're the COMPUTING helpdesk. That means when you call us asking us for directions or why there's no hot water in the dorms, we probably won't be able to do much. I wish I could just call the helpdesk for all my problems...

"Student Helpdesk, how can I help you?"
"They're out of soy milk in the dining hall again."
"Uhh..."
"Make sure you get the chocolate kind though, plain sucks."
"I'm going to transfer you to the vegan helpdesk."
"But I'm not veg-"
*click*

We really do get some strange freakin' calls. I bet people will start calling us for emergencies too-

"Student Helpdesk, Josh speaki-"
"Yes, the helpdesk!! Thank God I got through!! I was on hold for like five minutes! There's a FIRE!!! People are burning alive!!!"
"Sir!? You need to call the fir-"
"We're at the orphanage! The orphanage is ON FIRE!!!"
"Okay okay! Listen- you need to pick up a yellow service ticket at the bookstore; it's going to be thirty dollars. Then we'll send Norton over with a bottle of water from the vending machine... HURRY THERE'S NO TIME!!!"

Our dining hall has this chocolate soy milk in little juice-style boxes that they keep inside a fridge in the corner. It's almost impossible to get one, because the second someone puts the boxes in the fridge, all the health-nuts and vegans stampede towards the fridge like wildebeests. I'm not a health-nut, vegan, or wildebeest though, I just think it's delicious. So every night I go up to the workers near the kitchen to tell them they're out of those little soy milk boxes. Whenever I ask, nine out of ten times, they'll bring out an extra container of plain, cardboard flavored soymilk, and I have to say "No no no- the CHOCOLATE kind." They're probably thinking "damn, this is one picky vegan."

So the other night, I go over to ask for more chocolate soy milk, and the manager walks into the kitchen to go get some. I swear she was in there for like ten minutes... how long does it take to grab some soy milk!? Like are there catacombs back there that they hide the soy milk in? Did she have to freaking milk the soy cows??? She comes out, finally, and says "We're out of soy milk".

At this point I'm surrounded by three dining hall workers, and they're all telling me "Okay, what we're going to do is drive to another quad and pick up soy milk from them, and we'll bring it over." Meanwhile I'm like "Uhhhh.. you know.. I can just drink some water, it's okay" but they insisted- "No no, it's okay, we can get it for you. Where will you be sitting?" I told them I wasn't sure, and hid in the back of the room. Everyone around me must have been thinking "Holy shit this vegan kid REALLY wants his soy milk. He is REALLY vegan." Another ten minutes passed, and I saw the manager holding a pint of PLAIN soy milk. She was walking around, saying something to all the workers. I could almost read her lips- "Where'd that little vegan boy go!?" I managed to get back to my room without her seeing me, but imagine what would have happened if she found me? She would have poured the soy milk right in front of me and been like "Here ya go! C'mon, drink up little vegan boy!" And I'd either have to force it down my throat, or tell her "Ehh actually I wanted the chocolate kind. Can you drive back and get some?"

Almost every day of winter break I've had to open the freakin door for my brother when he came back home from work. The man cannot remember to bring his keys whenever he leaves the house. How hard is it!? You pick them up from the table, and you put them in your pocket.. or you can hang them around your neck, or fucking duct tape them to your face.. I don't care just BRING THEM! And then I always have to open the door at the most inconveniet times, like when I'm sleeping, or in the shower, or I'm in college...

I've tried tons of ways to piss him off so he'll start remembering them. Pretty much any time he gets back to the house, he has to pee. Really badly. So sometimes when he rings the bell, before opening the door I'll go eat a sandwich, play some piano, maybe update my site (in fact, he's ringing the bell as I'm writing this). But then if I don't open the door within 10 seconds he'll CALL ME. Once I told him to go pee in the bushes, and then I'd open the door.. but he just threatened to break the door down (and he probably could) so I let him in.

I think the next time he rings the bell and calls me, I should bring the phone into the bathroom, put it on speaker, yell out "What's wrong? Do you need to do THIS!?" and I'll take a whiz; but what if it turned out not to be my brother calling? What if it was my Mom or something; man that'd be pretty awkward.

Well I'd better finish this entry before he calls me- oops, too late. I'll just start typing... really.. slowly...

Oh by the way, don't forget to check the updates all around the site, there's a lot of new stff! Whoops made a typo, let me start over-

I hate the people who work in that sandwich place in the campus center (the deli at outtakes); not all of them, just two in particular. First there's that giant spanish guy who asks you what kind of bread you want the second you walk in the store; you could be on a line that stretches to the opposite corner of the store, and before you can even begin to think about what you might want-

"HEY PAPI! PAPI!!! WHAT YOU WANT!?"
"Uhh.. I'll have a.. umm.. turkey with..."
"No! Which BREAD!!!"

You could be leaving your room on your way to the store- your phone will ring, and when you pick it up it'll be him and he'll be like "PAPI!!! WHAT BREAD YOU WANT!?" I guess one could argue he's just trying to be really efficient. But there's this old black lady who works there who recently has been pissing me off, and there's no excuse for her.

Just the other day I was there getting a sandwich. I started telling her what I wanted... "Can I get turkey, honey mustard..." I look up and she's just staring at me; usually they make the sandwich as people talk, so as to avoid forgetting what they asked for. I continue- "two slices of muenster cheese.." and she's still staring. I'm staring back. Finally she says "I'm listening" and starts muttering to herself "Every day... every day." So I tell her the rest of my order- She starts putting things on the sandwich I didn't ask for like mayonaisse and american cheese, and I correct her each time. As I'm doing this she's still muttering angrily "Every day.. EVERY day."

I'm sorry sandwich lady, am I annoying you? All I want is a freakin' sandwich on it with the things that I asked for. "Every day"? "Every day" what? Every day you have to make a sandwich? That is kind of your job. Every day some giant spanish guy asks me what kind of bread I want before I walk in the store, but I don't yell at him "EVERY DAY, PAPI! EVERY DAY!"

Oh, and when I wrote "old black lady" up there... that means I actually really hate old black people; it wasn't for descriptive purposes or anything.

My roommate Mike got a shirt from Aeropostale recently and he wore it today. I took a look at it this morning and I notice a familiar pattern on the shirt.. solid maroon and gold stripes. Take a look.

I ask him "Is that a Harry Potter shirt??" and he's like "What? No.." He got a shirt that looks like it's straight out of Harry Potter and didn't even realize it, it's hilarious. I've been following him around, whistling the Harry Potter theme when people pass by... and I've been yelling out Harry Potter references all day. I'll toss him something and be like.. WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!!! My neighbor ran into the room earlier and yelled out "POTTER! HERMIONE'S IN TROUBLE! A MOUNTAIN TROLL!!" Then he flipped me off when he left the room this afternoon and I was like "I SAY, POTTER! ONE-HUNDRED POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!!!

11/8/05



It's a long entry this time so grab a seat and get comfortable:

Okay this took place last Thursday. It was the afternoon, and the day was pretty normal so far.. I decided to take a little nap. I wake up and everything goes wrong. I look at my clock and see I'm late for my Abnormal Psych class, so I grab my bookbag and bolt out of the room. I get to my class, open the door, and.. there's a TEST going on!? What!? One of the TAs in the room comes up to me at the door and asks "Can I help you?" I'm just standing there, speechless. I finally manage to get out "Is this.. Abnormal Psych?" and he says that it's IST 338 or something strange like that; so I'm like "uhh I must be in the wrong place" and I walk out of the room with him staring at me like I'm crazy.. I mean, you'd think I'd know when and where my classes were 3/4ths through the semester.

So I go to check my syllabus to see if maybe class was cancelled; I open my bookbag- and my notebook is gone! My notebook that I use for EVERY CLASS and have ALL MY ASSIGNMENTS IN is gone. So now I'm running back to my room to see if maybe I dropped it there. On the way, I look at the time on my cellphone and see that I was actually 40 minutes early for class.. turns out I forgot to set the clock in my bedroom back an hour. I guess I managed not to look at my clock for an entire week.

I finally arrive back at my dorm and start digging around for my notebook while swearing at myself under my breath. All this running around was making me very warm so I decided to change into a t-shirt. I go to my closet and half of my t-shirts are gone!? What the hell?! I couldn't have left them in the laundry room.. no way. I mean, I did laundry like FOUR DAYS AGO.

So I go down to the laundry room.. and sure enough, sitting on top of one of the washers is a pile of soggy, gross t-shirts. At this point I seriously thought I was losing my mind. How could so much crap be going wrong in like half an hour? I climbed back upstairs to get some detergent, tossed the clothes back in the wash, and ran outside to backtrack my steps and find my notebook. After searching all over campus I figured it must be in one of the Lecture Centers I was at the day before. There was a class in the room at the time so I couldn't just march in and start looking around.

I sat down outside for a couple of minutes to like.. try to make sure I'm not going insane. I look at the time and (Dad, you can stop reading at this point) see that I'm FORTY MINUTES LATE TO CLASS- for real this time. How ironic. I walk into class, which is a giant lecture center.. and of course the only available seat I see is way up in front. So I cross the entire classroom, sit down, open my bookbag and take out- nothing, because I don't have my notebook remember? Imagine some kid comes into your class forty minutes late, sits down in the front row and just watches the lecture.

Wow, I think that was the longest entry I've ever written on the site. I feel like it needs some kind of epilogue....

Josh Isaacson found his notebook in the top row of LC-21. They are now happily married with three children in Guilderland, NY.

Josh's laundry was forgotten again in the washer. It remains there to this day.

Josh's clock felt Josh wasn't giving it the attention it deserved. It moved back with its family in Ikea, but soon ran away with a sundial to Lancaster, PA.

Josh's Dad disowned him when he found out he was 40 minutes late to a class.


Peter Parker decided to end his relationship with Mary Jane. Spiderman will always have enemies.

I've lived with my suitemate Mike for years now, and I love messing with him. It's just so easy. About a week or so ago, he was in the shower.. (we have a separate shower room). I opened the door a crack and yelled in: "HEY MAN HOW'S IT GOING". Because of the echo in the shower it sounded like I was right there next to him.. so he just screams "WHOoOAAaA!!!". It was hilarious.. so today I did something similar. He had just walked into the shower.. and I knew he was probably still changing outside the curtain. So I casually said "Hey Mike what's up" and scratched the door to make it sound as if I was opening it. Mike screams "NO DON'T! I'M OUTSIDE THE CURTAIN!!!" and I just laugh..

But then my roommate Dan comes over, and he didn't hear the part where Mike screamed that he was outside the curtain. So he's in the process of opening the door to do the same thing I did the first time.. He gets it open a tiny crack, and I hear Mike shriek.. I'm like DAN NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! and I dive at the door to slam it shut before any damage can be done. I was half tempted to just let Dan open the door. I can just imagine it.. he would have been in the process of saying HEY MIKE HOW'S IT- and Mike would have screamed like a woman.

On a side note, I finally changed my screen name after about eight years. I swear it took me all night to come up with one; as my friend Huntley says, it's like naming a baby.. a baby that talks online.

I was eating at a chinese buffet on a very cold, rainy night in Albany, and we all got our fortune cookies. I think they must have been a couple of weeks old because my fortune was "The weather is wonderful." Fortune cookies are lame.. although it is a lot of fun adding "IN BED" to the end of your fortunes. Especially when you get ones like "Small pleasures await you" or "Your greatest fortune is the friends and family you have."

I want fortunes that apply more to me.. like.. "An admirer is too shy to talk to you. Poke them on facebook first." Or maybe "An important person will offer you support. But you forgot an away message." Oh and those "Learn Chinese" things on the fortunes.. they should change that to "Learn a small fraction of Chinese" because they only tell you ONE word every time. It'd be great if there was a Chinese language class where they just made you eat thousands of fortune cookies. Can you imagine what a study group would be like?

"I need the word for Oyster! Does anyone have the word for Oyster!?"
"We need more cookies!"
"I.. I can't eat any more cookies.. please.."
"Wait wait, check out my fortune guys! 'Small pleasures await you'... IN BED! Ha ha ha!"
"Fred you've got that fortune like six-hundred times. It's not funny anymore."
"Guys, I found Oyster!! Wait... small pleasures await you.. ohh, ha ha, I just got it.

My entire life I've been really slow. I don't mean slow as in dumb, I mean slow as in.. I move slowly. I was always the last person to get dressed in the locker room, the last person to pack my bags at the end of the schoolday, the last person at the dinner table and so on and so on. One of my roommates decided to make a facebook group "Josh Is Slow". The description gave me a good laugh: "Going to lunch with Josh? Maybe you'll make it in time for dinner. This group is for everyone who who has been late because of the slowest person in Albany, Joshua Isaacson."

So my suitemate Steve hates horror movies and will NEVER see a movie that looks even remotely scary with me- but since I'm such a nice guy I see this movie that he's been begging us to see with him for like the past month; The Transporter 2. Steve loves any movie with nice cars or insane car-chases. He had to change his pants like four times during this movie. It's labeled as an action movie... but I think it was really supposed to be a comedy. There was this one scene where "the transporter" used a fire-hose to hit like freakin EIGHTEEN GUYS in the nuts in THIRTY SECONDS; The whole movie he was just hitting people in the nuts in really creative ways. There was the firehose, sometimes he'd throw or karate-kick random objects into nuts. He maybe headbutted someone in the nuts.. and I think he threw someone's nuts at someone else's nuts... I swear "The Transporter" must have secretly learned to fight in a women's self defense class.

Also worthy of mention is the preview for 50 Cent's new movie: Get Rich or Die Trying. It's a movie about how 50 Cent was a gangster and got shot- but then he lived, and the near-death experience made him an inspirational rapper. For example, the accident inspired such motivational lyrics as "I'll take you to the candy shop. I'll let you lick the lollipop." or "She go up and down like a merry-go-round."

A little note about my 9/15/05 entry- I got an IM a few days ago from a friend that said something like "Hey man, I read your site. That really sucks about the yoo-hoo." It sounded like this guy was genuinely sorry about my yoo-hoo problem. Seriously, that's all he said about the update. So I went over to his place to explain why it was funny to him, but he couldn't hear me because he had headphones on. So I was like YOOHOO!!!! and I karate-kicked a bottle of yoo-hoo at his nuts.

So I was on my way to my early morning physics class.. it was a hot day but I didn't realize it before I got outside so I was walking around in jeans and a long-sleeve t-shirt. I passed by this vending machine, and I saw they offered yoo-hoo. I was like man, I could really go for an ice cold yoo-hoo right now. So I buy one, I reach down to pick it up, and the freakin' yoo-hoo is HOT. Not a little warm, but actually HOT. I'm sweating my ass off, and this vending machine decides to crap out a steaming yoo-hoo into my hands. So I throw the flaming yoo-hoo into my bookbag and head to class angry and thirsty. By the end of class, the drink was still boiling, melting its glass container.

Why do people feel the need to rush out of class so quickly when it's over? Even at the mere SUGGESTION that class is over, people start stampeding out of the room like wildebeests. If a teacher says a phrase like "next class, we will-" forget it, everyone is GONE. What the hell is the rush!? Today this girl in my aisle gets up half a second after class is over, says "excuse me" to me because I'm in her way. So I get up and as I reach over to my bookbag to move it out of her path, and she PICKS IT UP HERSELF and drops it under the desk! So I'm like "uhhh EXCUSE ME" but she keeps walking. Then I say a little louder "HELLO?" but she just ignores me. Finally I'm like "YOO-HOO!!!" and I threw my scalding yoo-hoo at her and it melted her face off. Looks like the only place she'll be rushing now is the BROOM CLOSET cuz she looks like a WITCH. No need to worry about my backpack getting in the way, now you can FLY over it, witch.

A few nights ago I'm going to take a shower, so I go to my room to get my towel, clothes, etc... and I see my textbook lying on my bed. I flip through it a little, and realize that one of my professors mistakenly told us we had to read over 100 pages of the text when really we only had to read 60 or so pages. I picked up my phone to tell my friend in the class the good news, and I leave him a voicemail: "Hey Henry, turns out we only have to read 60 pages for the homework, the teacher made a mistake. Anyway I gotta get back to my shower now!"

*click*

About two seconds later I realized how bizarre that must have sounded. It sounded like I was thumbing through my textbook in the shower and then I walked out stark-ass naked, picked up the phone, and called him; "Hey man, we only have to read 60 pages. Later."

My roommate is nuts. He's always jumping around like he has a rabid weasel in his pants. We'll just be walking around in public and he'll yell out completely random crap at the top of his lungs. I'll be on my way to class and he'll be like "POTATO PANCAKES!!!" He's still a cool guy though. Anyway I gotta get back to my shower now, later guys.

Well, I'm back in Albany for my third year.. kinda scary, college is halfway
over. I'm really in no rush to finish school and enter the "real world". I just shudder when I think of waking up early every day, going to whatever job I will have, then going to sleep too early to do anything fun because I'm so tired of working all day. I mean, you finish school, you get a job.. and then you die. I
guess there's some stuff in-between all that, but I'm happy being in school for now.

So speaking of jobs, I started my new job at the student helpdesk. Opening weekend was insane, I'm new and don't know as much as my more experienced co-workers, and I have to juggle phone calls, people who walk in, and writing up reports all at the same time. And I can't wear my work uniform outside of the helpdesk because people WILL harrass me. While I was eating dinner I had one random guy come up to me complaining about the CD the helpdesk gives to everyone on campus..

"Hey.. you work for the helpdesk?"
*I look down at my shirt* "Uh.. yes?"
"The CD you gave me broke my computer! You better come fix it!"

I'm sorry, the CD I gave you broke your computer? Yes, I made that CD just for you. I put all the files on it.. in fact, I even FORGED it from plastic myself. I MOLDED it for you.

Later that day my psych professor was late for class; I bet that helpdesk CD that I personally constructed for everyone blew up her computer. Then right in front of me was my friend Sarah.. and she had a COLD, which she told me she contracted after staying up all night by a drafty window, trying to get my helpdesk CD to work. Oh and there was this other girl walking around on crutches, and I felt terrible. I just KNEW it was because she slipped on one of the helpdesk CDs that I sculpted for her.

Funny story: My friend Alison had tickets to this concert in central park for months in advance, but her plans kept getting ruined by people cancelling on her. At the last second I agree to come. So she comes over my place, I'm being my usual slow self; we're already running a little late. Instead of stopping at an ATM for money I decide to return a game, which puts us behind schedule a little more. Then I realized I left my camera at home. So I run back to my house, run to my backyard.. and run straight into my door full force. It felt like I broke my toe or something, but I'm like no no, gotta walk it off, Alison's waiting... but after a few more steps the pain in my toe got worse, so I take my shoe off and see I messed it up pretty badly.

My brother was there at the moment, so I'm just like AHhHh what do I do!? And then he starts LECTURING ME... I'm on the floor, clutching my foot in agony and he starts telling me stuff like "You're ALWAYS rushing! How can you be so stupid!? ALWAYS rushing!! STUPID!!!" On the contrary though, I'm NEVER rushing. I'm the least likely person to rush doing ANYTHING. With my brother, it's like no matter what I do wrong, I'm ALWAYS doing it.

"You're ALWAYS rushing!!!"
"You're ALWAYS getting a headache!!!"
"You're ALWAYS punching babies!!!"

My mom used to lecture me at inappropriate times too, maybe that's where he gets it from. When I was little and he'd pick on me and shove me around, I'd be like MOM NELSON'S HITTING ME!!! And she'd come over and yell JOSHUA HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM NELSON!?

Anyway, I'm back in school a week early for some kinda training for my new job. My new room is pretty cool. Well, except the commonroom smells like vinegar, and there's a daycare outside my window so screaming children will wake me up every morning.. *sigh*

There's ALWAYS kids at the daycare.

Well, I've had this site for about three years now so I figured it was time for a little change. I spent so much damn time working on this layout the past week I don't have much content to update with. Let's see.. I need a good story. Oh! Okay-

I have this friend who was making this new layout for his supercool site, right.. He worked on it for a whoooole week, and when he was finally done, he realized that his domain name targets default.htm as the homepage, not main.htm or index.htm like he thought. Boy was his face red! Ha ha.. then he had to stay up til 3 in the morning and change every freakin' link on every page to go to "default.htm" instead of "main.htm".. Ha ha ha!!!!!! Gosh if that ever happened to me I think I'd have to SHOOT MYSELF.

So I'm finally quitting my computer-room job and moving on to bigger and better things. I feel kind of bad that I didn't give them a lot of warning so they could replace me. I just sort of walked in one day and was like "Here's the headcount for the afternoon; anyone wanna order Chinese? Cool, by the way, I quit... LATER SUCKERS! HAHAHA!!!.. Here's five bucks get me some sesame chicken, thanks."

Sweet mother of crap I'm SO BORED. I'm really starting to lose it up here in Albany. I try to come up with something to do every night but.. there's only so much I can do with so few people up here. I did manage to make one new friend though.. and she bought me ice cream!! Wow! But yeah, I want the fall semester to start already.

All you Harry Potter fans out there.. be very careful online if you don't want Book 6 spoiled for you. There are a lot of people out there trying to ruin it, slipping in spoilers when you least expect it. You never know, you might be reading some entry on some site and.. BRUCE WILLIS IS A GHOST! HE'S A GHOST THE WHOLE TIME OMG!!!! Oh wait, wrong spoiler. But see? It could happen!!! Be careful! If you read something you shouldn't.. electrocute yourself or run into a brick wall, and hope you don't remember when you wake up.

I still haven't gotten a court date for that speeding ticket I got a few weeks ago. What the heck am I supposed to do/say if the cop changes his mind and decides not to help.. "Uh.. Well, you see your honor... My foot was itching real bad, so I used the gas pedal to scratch it.. AND MUFASA DIES IN THE LION KING!! HAHAHA SPOILER!!!!"

So I went with my friend Anna to this Harry Potter party in a Barnes & Noble in the city this past Friday. I felt like a huge geek but hey, I was one of the first people to get the new book. There were all sorts of whackos there dressed up as different Harry Potter characters.. A friend of mine told me he should have come dressed up as Bambi, and when he got up to the register, he would actually buy Bambi.

Later that weekend I went to Coldstone. Someone put a tip in the tip jar, and all the workers started singing cheesy coldstone songs. I guess they have to sing every time they're given a tip.. It was really annoying. I think they would make more money if they sang ALL the time, and when you gave them tips, they would have to stop singing.

Don't forget to check out the new update today, this one took awhile.

As I've mentioned before, my job in the school computer lab is mind-numbingly boring; nothing ever happens. But orientations have started this summer and twice a week, a huge group of incoming freshmen come in to set up their email accounts, passwords, etc.. I look forward to it every time because it's the only interesting thing that ever happens at work. Anyway- funny story: there are a couple of orientation assistants ("OA" for short) who are in charge of all the kids that come in. There's this girl who's an OA that's always here who's pretty friendly and talks to me sometimes.. So she comes in the other day, waving at me. So I wave back. Then she's walking closer, still waving. Closer. Closer. Still waving.. 'til eventually she's so close I just high-five her. Then she's like "Oh, actually I was just waving at Tom over there.. but okay." Man I don't think I've ever felt so stupid. I'M SO AWKWARD.

Sorry for the long delay in updates. Class is finally over for the summer.. so I'm in Albany just working now, and things will probably get very boring. Speaking of work.. a couple of Fridays ago I come into work, notice there's a consultant from the previous hour already sitting in my chair. I get kind of annoyed but don't say anything, I just sit a few seats away. I sign in, take out my book, and start reading. An hour later my friend Lauren walks in and is like "Josh? What are you doing here?"... and I respond "That girl's still sitting in my chair." Then Lauren just looks at me for awhile and says "You don't work on Friday". So I just stare at her, sigh, and sign out. I sat at work for an hour on my day off.

I was home for a little while this past weekend.. and I found out my friend Alison never saw the movie Office Space.. which is a movie that almost everyone has seen, and is one of my favorite movies; I restrained from freaking out though because EVERYONE does that when you haven't seen a classic movie. They're all like "OH MY GOD, YOU NEVER SAW OFFICE SPACE! WHAT!? SWEET MOTHER OF CRAP!" Then they tell all their friends... "MOM! HEY MOM! ALISON NEVER SAW OFFICE SPACE!!!"

I got my first speeding ticket a few days ago. Ugh. The cop was kind of cool about it- he said he might help me out. When he asked where I was going, I told him SUNY Albany.. so maybe he felt bad that I was a broke student or something. I dunno. He also asked if I knew why he stopped me..

"I guess I was speeding?"
"You were going 82."

I wonder what he would have said if I got the number right..

"Because I was going 82?"
"DINGDINGDING THAT'S CORRECT!!! YOU'RE FREE TO GO SIR!!!

Or maybe I should have said "My friend told me there was a bomb in the car.. and that it'd go off if I went under 55!" And he would have been like "What???" and I'd be like "YOU NEVER SAW SPEED!? OH MY GOD! *picks up cellphone* MOM THIS GUY NEVER SAW SPEED!!"
