The New Flat
|
|
|
|
Now that everyone moved out, I
got the new apartment to myself all summer. Some of the boys are moving back in the fall, and some new people will be here too. I took
advantage of the fact, and cleaned up the place today. It will be
nice to have a quiet spell for a few weeks. I haven't lived alone in a long time, so the solace is greatly needed. Here are some quick pix
of the new pad.

Aaron and Cotton's New Pad
|
|
|
|
Aaron had to get out of this
house cuz his lease ran out, and Cotton had to get off the Hill
cuz he was sick of how run down it had gotten, so they both got a place
behind the flower shop down on the corner. It is in a quaint old
brick building that has sat on that corner for a long ass time.
They are both happy with their new surroundings, and have fixed
it up kinda nice. Thus will start a whole new season of partying for them.
They plan to stay here for the summer. Aaron has graduated, but
Cotton still has another year left here, they have been friends
for a long time now. Those guys have given me the spirit I needed
during my "down" year. They are the ones that sing really loud and drunk when they have a party, and are seemingly happy all the time.
That is what Morrisville needs more of.....Good Spirit! Go
Guys!

A College Student's Life
|
|
|
|
In the last days of school, it
is hard not to celebrate. Most of my people are graduating and going on their merry ways, and some will return. Either way it is a
trying time full of good and bad times, and it's share of stress.
The last week is kind of a stress relief week for most of them,
including Carp. He is one of my roomies, who will be returning in the fall
to finish school. He got a little hammered up on the Hill on this
night, but that didn't stop him from playing his favorite video
game, however I did find him passed out on the couch with the game controller still in his hand, and the game just a goin'. I felt
the need to document this as a reminder of a time in life when
the important things are simple, before it's work stress and
accounts and money money money, and hair loss.........Carp is an awesome
guy that will go far in life, but for now, it is the game that is
important, and good times with his young friends while they are
still young. Go Carp!

Al's New Car
|
|
|
|
Al's van has finally died. So
he got himself a new car to replace it with. It looks almost the
same, just smaller. It is as if he tried to wash the van and it shrunk. He
is very happy with the new vehicle since it gets 45 MPG CITY! He
has been taking me to my jail terms every week, and we will be
going to Syracuse this week so I can have my "test". Not many
people have a boss like Al who believes in taking care of his people. Good
luck with the new car Al!

Got New Camera
|
|
|
|
My favorite present this year
is a new digital camera. It is a Kodak C310, and it takes pix
that are remarkably clear. It tends to eat up the batteries, but it is
worth it. I plan to take a plethora of pix for the website with
it. In fact, I already have. I have used the same of orange cam I
got from an old roommate back in 2002. Pictures from tha cam will
be all over the Internet forever. All my friends have pictures of
themselves taken with that old cam and have them posted. Now it
will be a new beginning, and a new era for picture taking by
Dwayne. The Internet is clearly enriched by my pictures, and will continue to be, as long as I have an Internet connection.

The Cactus Finally Bloomed!
|
|
|
|
After 5 years of owning this
plant, among the other plants Amanda's Mom gave me back then, the
Christmas cactus finally bloomed. It has one purple flower on the end of
a branch. It looks really awesome. It started blooming when I
moved to this apartment, I am not sure if it is a sign from the
Gods, or just the nature of the plant, but I am happy either way.
I love plants.

Got New Fan
|
|
|
|
My Mom sent me money for my
birthday, and when ever I get money as a present, I always try to
spend it on something meaningful that will last me a while. So, I bought a
fan. The new apartment is kinda warm, being an upstairs apartment
and all, so a fan is a good thing to have to keep me cool while I
sleep. I had a window fan, with two fans just a buzzin', but it
was so loud, I dreamed of airplanes all night. So, the new quieter model
was in order. Now I can sleep happy.

the Garbage Cans
|
|
|
|
I became entirely sick of the
stinky garbage cans that were at the bottom of the stairs here at
the new place. To make matters worse, the garbage guys never took our garbage this week. There was prolly a truck parked in front of them
when they came through, or they were just too stinky for them,
lol. Either way, I took the garbage out back to the pizza-place
dumpster, and then I left them outside for a night with their lids off to air out. I thought I may have to hose them out, but the stink
went away, and now they sit back at the foot of the stairs, all
ready to fill up again. Go Me!

the Trees
|
|
|
|
Speaking of flowers. Most of
the planted trees in Morrisville are flowering trees in the spring. We all look forward to them blooming in the spring, and the
town wakes up to their awesome beauty every year. I have taken
pix of them before, but now with my new cam, I can give them the
justice they deserve. Another thing that makes Morrisville simply
awesome.

The Band Jamms Again!
|
|
|
|
I guess the band is gonna
reform again. We will go on with just Dale, Matt and Me. We were the heart of the band anyway. I got us all lined up to jamm at the club
next week, but tomorrow we will practice at Matt's house again.
We will never speak of the member who isn't with us anymore, and we will go on to play our really rockin' music together and keep the
heart of Morrisville beating. I guess nothing will take away our
spirit of Rock and Roll.
