The End of an Era

It's officially over. The 1988 Cavalier has officially died. We were just short of 200k too. The horrible thing is, I killed it. It still had some life in it, but I prematurely took his life at the tender age of 14.

So guess what happened? I'm driving home from Target after a long day at work. I was tired and I felt myself dosing off. I dosed off only for a few seconds, but when I opened my eyes, I was staring at a telephone pole. I turned the wheel left as fast as I could, but it was too late. I ended up hitting the pole and dragging my whole right side against it. From my estimation, I damaged the body from the front to the rear along the right side, front axle damage, my passenger side rear-view mirror shattered. It's totaled. Luckily, I was wearing my seatbelt, and I escaped only with cuts. I didn't hurt the pole either, it looks like I barely scratched it. Anyway, before I officially junked it, Mike and I took some pics of the wreckage...

  • Follow me on this one: My brother-in-law George's brother, Chris, has a friend, Andrew Corn, who is going to be writing some movie reviews for Pramas.com. Anything he sends in is greatly appreciated, and from what I've read, he is a much better writer than I am. I'm going to put the movie reviews right here for now until I get his own section going. By the way, Andrew uses a scale that goes up to 4 stars being the best. Enjoy...

  • In other news, I'm also moving out tomorrow, and I don't have an Internet connection at home. So expect another timely lay-off while I settle in and try and get AT&T to come in and hook me up. See you all later,

    Pramas.com doing good deeds!!!

    Pramas.com and its community are once again teaming up to help lower this nation's unemployment rate. John John, Tim, Eric and I started the night (6/11), by going to Papa Gino's and feasting on their All-You-Can-Eat pizza. After shoving seven slices(!!!) down my throat, we came up with an idea. I was getting dizzy, and Eric was having hallucinations, but yet we all formed this idea to help out a friend of ours. We had a thought that would make a friend's life better. We decided we were going to do everything in our power to get my roommate, Jesse, a job.

    Jesse's been out of work for a little while, and he's had a little trouble finding the right kind of job for him. So we took it upon ourselves. We made sure that we left no stone unturned. We introduced ourselves to employers as Jesse, we gave them his cell phone number. We did all we could for him, and I think it will pay off for him. John John started out by getting an application from Papa Ginos. Eric then ran into Shaw's Supermarket. After getting an application, Eric made it a note to tell him that the whole store smelled like pet food. We next tried to get him an app. at Canobie Lake Park, but they were closed. Sorry man. We had better luck at the Icenter. We thought he could be a zamboni driver. Our mission was almost derailed when both McDonald's and Pips did not have paper applications.

    But, we decided then and there, that we would not let that stop us. We next went to my old stomping ground, Dunkin' Donuts. We then split up at the Market Basket plaza, Eric and I secured applications from Ames and Payless. I also found out that Payless is hiring in three different locations!!! Do they hire men? I don't know, but we gave him the app. anyways. (Side Note: Is it just me, or does Ames have a two-day sale every weekend? They should just realize they suck and go out of business). Tim and John John went to Market Basket to collect an application there. If I ever saw Jesse sack, I would go there, sit, stare, and laugh. I would probably get in trouble, but I would no doubt take pictures of his facial expressions when he hears things like "Could you put the paper in the plastic?" I think he would have the "Dear God, Kill Me Now" Face. We finished our searching by gathering an application at Wendy's. They are hiring closers currently.

    We then went to my place, and hid the applications like an Easter Egg hunt, and when he came home, he started finding applications everywhere. He wasn't excited as much as we were. I don't think he's even filled one out yet, but John John, Eric, Tim, and I know that we've done our good deed for the day, and once again Pramas.com and our community are reaching out to help those less fortunate.

    What's Up???

    Hey everybody, just wanted to come back and say hi. It's been a while since I've seen you so I'll get right into it.

    My Target buddy, JT, came through once again. He got tickets for many Celtics playoff games, and he brought me for Game 4 and Game 6 of the New Jersey series. The games were unbelievable, unfortunately, we lost them both, and the Celtics got eliminated from the playoffs. But, the team made it a lot farther than people thought they would, and they were both good games. Here are just a few random thoughts from the games:

  • In the 4th quarter, during a timeout, they usually play this video on the screen mixing the courtroom scene from A Few Good Men, and video of Paul Pierce. When Colonel Jessip belts out his famous line, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" they cut to scenes of Pierce dominating, and it sends shivers up my spine. The place goes nuts, and it's general chaos. For those of you that don't understand this, Paul Pierce's nickname is the Truth, and no one can handle him.
  • During halftime of Game 6, I had to go to the bathroom really bad because of all the beer I drank. Of course, the men's room was packed, and there were about 100 people in urinal lines. Anyway, I stepped up to the plate after about five minutes of waiting, I ended up getting stage fright from the enormous amount of people in there. I had to go so bad, but I couldn't go. It was horrible, so I pretended to go, flushed and left. I tried again a few minutes later, but I couldn't go again. It's a mental thing. I held my head in shame. I couldn't handle the crowd. I ended up waiting until I got home about three hours later. Not good times.
  • My Boston sports curse continues. Everytime I go to a professional game in any sport, the home team ALWAYS loses. There is only one exception, and that was the Pats-Raiders game. That's the only time in the past few years the home team has won. I think the record of Boston teams when I'm in attendance is 2-53. I'm surprised I haven't seen this stat on espn.com, and I'm surprised they don't have a picture hanging up of me that says "Don't let this person in by any means."




  • Thanks to all of you that voted in the Pramas.com poll on what Katie should do. Take out Big Al was the biggest vote getter with 18 votes, and I couldn't agree more. Also, tied for second with 14 votes are Dump Kevin, and Next on Jerry Springer... Call his bluff had 11, and (my guess is) Kevin voted for Run Away and Elope 9 times. Thank you all for voting. If anyone else has a problem that you want the Pramas.com audience to address, I'd be more than happy to put it up. By the way, Katie ended up calling his bluff, and she still lives there, so he didn't kick her out. Either that, or he doesn't know, one of those two. Kevin can't handle Big Al.
