“There is something you should know…I’ve never really seen snow…you know.” HAHA so I skipped a night so kill me. Last night was THURSDAY which means for Sean my weekend starts at 5 pm on Thursday. Last night I took my first trip to the Rider University Pub with Frank and his crew. Was fun, we downed pitchers and played card games. Then we hit up Poyda and then back to Frank’s house for some video games and Pietasters music. So I didn’t roll back to Rider until like 3 am. All in all a good night.

So something has been bothering me a lot lately. People keep trying to tell me that Toms River is “South Jersey”. I refuse to let misconception stand. Having actually lived in “South Jersey” for seven years I know what its like and being an expert on the Geography of NJ and the social tendencies of the state I figured i’d put this to rest once and for all. As I’ve learned in my NJ Govt. & Politics class NJ has no state pride. We New Jerseyians divide our selves into different sects. North Jersey, South Jersey, The Shore, etc. The funny thing is people recognize a Central Jersey along with the North and South.
As one can plainly see Toms River DOES NOT FALL INTO THE SOUTH JERSEY BOUNDARIES. It will never be South Jersey. Quite frankly I’m insulted that Toms River would even be considered to be in the same league as South Jersey because Toms River is a far more realistic and down to Earth region (we’ll leave the reason why I feel this way for another post) and I’ve lived in SJ…So Toms River-ites and fellow Ocean County-iers rally up for our CENTRAL JERSEY PRIDE! Well i’m goin to go for now. But I will be back later tonight…

“Sometimes I run; Sometimes I hide; Sometimes I’m scared of you. But all I really want is to hold you tight. Treat you right, be with you day and night…” Hello Hello …Its good to be here Its good to be here. What a day…Systems Anaylsis is offically super boring and annoying I hate it. Sorry for the lack of a post last night for I had night class and was completely shot. I mean last semester I had a 12 hour day but Tuesdays this semester take the cake 14 hour day. The absolute worst. Quick run down on the rest of my classes:

NJ Politics and Government - Rebovich is the professor. Thats enough to make it great.
Networks - Super Amazing Class. I get to work with Brandon from DBM and it seems like its gonna be fun and interesting.
Telecommunications - Professor says “Anyone here planning on taking networks?” I say “What if you’re in it now?” He says “Then you’re gonna be really bored in this class”

So thats that. Today I read another fabulous news report about Britney Spears that makes me cringe. As you all know I’ve dealt with my share of annoying girls. I just find it ironic that my “celebrity crush” also annoies me too…Now Britney has been sluttin around Sundance with like three different dudes and yesterdays comment she made really set me off on how much of an idiot she is:

“Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them.”

DUH BRITNEY…Sometimes we have to think about the things we watch! Why can’t you stop being slutty? Why can’t you just go back to the way you were in your Sometimes video??? Oh well… :-/
Going to see The Pietasters on Feb. 16! Cannot wait! They’re super amazing and if you’ve never listened to them then you’re an idiot. You should download some of their stuff ASAP! Buzz is tremendous about the Thong for this Valentine’s Day…More and more guys are tellin me they are getting them for their girls. This is going to be pretty insane. Now only if some pics came rolling in…Well I’m off for now hope to talk to you later…

Someone give me a BWI~~!!! (Blogging while intoxicated) Thank you John for bustin out the Killians, Lauren for putting up with me, and Mr. Plotts for being the Shit! Also Thanks Roomie for lettin me take your pic while you were asleep!!!!

“Would this work better laying down?” - Ahhhh yess that line will live on in infamy! Those of you who watched Joey Millionarey know what I’m speaking of…

So today was my first day of classes and here are my thoughts on my first two:

Systems Analysis & Design - Basically is a reunion of my entire DBM class. This could be a boring class or really fun. Too early to tell. Nice thing about it is I’ll be teaming up with my old DBM partner Frank. So it’ll be a good working enviroment…Also the professor seems like a cool guy so I think it’ll work out.

Intro to Film - Taught by this guy from New Zeland. We’re watching Rushmore! Plus John and Kevin are in the class with me. I also was reunited with a girl from my ethics class. So I have a nice little group that sits around me. I’m really excited about this one because I’m going to learn a lot of about the nitty gritty of film. More on that as it develops…

I have 3 classes tommrow: NJ Govt. & Politics @ 8 AM, Networks @ 9:45, and Telecommunications at 6:45 PM. Commentary on those classes will begin tommrow as well.

Mortal Kombat fever has swept the floor. I am constantly bombarded with challenges in the game to which I have been successful defending my supremecy with the warrior Scorpion! “GET OVER HERE!” HAHAHA thats my battle cry mofos…Come challenge me and i’ll kill you…

In a less deathly note we sold our first items on the SeanPiotrowski.net Super Store this week! Thanks to my boss! Keep the buying trend up folks. Many have also expressed that the Sean Thong will be this Valentine’s Day’s hottest V-Day gift. So get yours now before its too late!

I’m done…………………………………………………………………..

“My girl likes to party all the time party all the time parrrrttyyyy all the timmmmeeee” Yes its true I know girls who like to party all the time. Welcome to another edition of the dimesia I call my collective conciousness. To whet your appitite today I give you an early post with an interview with a man I’ve never met. He’s a character introduced to me through my good friend Shane Pajak. His name is Timmy Dierkes and he has an interesting hobby and that is he is the master of Mix CDs. I sat down with him tonight to get more info inside this art of Mix CD making:

Sean: Introduce yourself
Tim: alright my name is Timmy Dierkes. by birth its timothy, and most of the time its Tim.

Sean: where you from
Tim: born in alsip, IL home of a guinness world record for most syllables rapped in a minute. set by Rebel XC (over 600). moved to lockport, IL in 1994. lockport is the
home of the first steel plow.

Sean: Very Interesting. How old are you?
Tim: 20

Sean: Now correct me if im wrong you are famous for your cd mixes?
Tim: that is correct sir. world class famous you should hear the first agnes mix. revolutionized the mix cd

Sean: Tell me about some of your mixes?
Tim: it all began with “booyah mix” thats when mp3s were just becoming widespread. so it was really just odds and ends. by booyah 4.0 it became an art form

Sean: sounds like a party in disc form
Tim: sounds from movies incorporated, no bands repeated, 80s represented

Sean: very amazing
Tim: booyah 10 was a greatest hits. booyah 10 i let people vote. big mistake, it was my only failure. so on 20 its all me and it will shock the world. some songs will appear with my vocal talents adding to the mix. i sing a little meatloaf

Sean: very exciting. Now it is my understanding you use Mix Cds to talk to women?
Tim: truly the best way to speak to a female is the mix cd

Sean: tell me about this
Tim: song selection can say so much more than my clumsy words ever could. i started dating this chick helen. helen is in lockport, me at school 2 hours away. i mail her “mix tape for helen”. called a tape yet its a cd. she listens. it literally blows her mind. she is amazed at my talent; her older sister borrows it constantly likely falls in love as well. i slow it down a notch for disc 2, the flame is still burning. disc 2 the original is STOLEN. her sisters discman ripped off with the CD inside. so some stranger is probably in love with me. anyway, helens leaving for a trip to poland, will be gone all summer and i make disc 3. she listens to it in poland for months, keeps us alive. so i make disc 4 for an anniversary and i notice a decline in appreciation. still, some appreciation.

Sean: Sounds to me like you were slackin
Tim: not so, i mean dude; i fade out songs and shit. it was still amazing

Sean: Utter Craftsmanship
Tim: so i notice something. helen is becoming more and more a bitch, calling me less and less, relationship not so good. i decide to save it via a cd. her birthday is approaching in april of 02. i make a ridiculously tight cd. get this, first, it was full cover art, not just any art; pics of me and her, a random picture of arnold from the movie collateral damage…the cd itself has 3 pics on the label: my head, her head next to it, and mr t’s head looking at us menacingly. i literally cross fade songs into each other

Sean: Nothing says romance like Mr. T and Arnold
Tim: yes i needed to make her laugh. the first song? Happy Birthday Helen. something i dug up by deep blue something, the one hit wonder who did breakfast at tiffanys

Sean: yes we all know that ditty
Tim: this disc was a masterpiece in every sense

Sean: sum up what happened
Tim: she dumps me the night i get back home from school. its sad, we talk a week later she mentions various factors leading to the breakup. in passing,
she says that the cd you made me, it wasnt like the others, you just put songs you thought I’d LIKE, not songs with meaning. immediately i was over her. i realized she was worthless. So then later on I met this girl agnes in a class. i mention to agnes that i am sick of all my cds. she volunteers to make me one. she does and its amazing. i just gave her the agnes cd a few days ago and, its love.

Sean: thats truly an amazing saga. Do you have some tips out there for aspiring mix masters like yourself?
Tim: of course.
1)never use a band twice on one cd. thats a fool’s move
2)kick it off with an instrumental. make people WANT words, by the time track 2 is there they NEED vocals.
3)use, but dont overuse, obscure movie sounds. i call them zounds.

Sean: why zounds?
Tim: it has to do with the practice of replacing the letter S with Z constantly. began with an SNL skit. “zima: tastes like zit.”, “limp bizkit zux”

Sean: I got it. what else?
Tim: 4)give them shit they dont know in the beginning but also, use a single that you know theyll love but havent heard yet. people like that.
5)represent the 80’s. the 80s were an amazing decade, people need 3-4 80’s songs per disc
6)put a cover on there, but only if it truly works

Sean: I like the think that Eddie Murphy’s Party all the time defined the decade’s music pinnacle
Tim: you might have something there
7)dont put anything slow on there
8)do something funny with song editing. once i found the youngstown song on my friend mark’s computer, go go gadget, so i took that song and faded its beginning into a linkin park song. suddenly a new mix was born! it fooled mark and mocked him also. dont be afraid to edit a song. you know the song my disease by saliva? the best part of that song is the beginning when he says “huuuh” so, i edited it so he said he says it 5 times seamlessly. suddenly the song is worthwhile.

Sean: way to breathe new life into a mundane tune. Any other last words?
Tim: dont be afraid to redo it if it sux. make it 18.1 and discard the 1st version.

Sean:Tim I’d like to thank you for enlightening us with your words and talent that you have
Tim: you’re most welcome
