Well someone misinformed me because I heard it was gonna snow this weekend and as I check the weather I see no mention of snow, although it did flurry this morning on my way to work  I feel a need for a nice 8-12 inch storm(guess what else is 8-12 inches ).  Oh well, maybe next week...

You can call me an alky cuz for the past 3 nights I've been out drinking.  Tonight I won't be drinking, not because of will but because I'm out of cash.  Then again I do have beer in the fridge...anyone up for some boozing

I have a mild dilemna on my hands. I've got two $50 vouchers that have to be used before March on Delta that I got last spring break for them bumping me off a flight and then losing my luggage.  Well, I don't have to use them but it's a waste if I didn't.  I guess I could use one for spring break but that leaves me with one left...where oh, where shall I go?

Ah, yes....at long last I'm updating my Xanga.  I know how difficult it must have been to go for all those weeks sans updates of my life.  Fear not, for I'm back on a fairly regular updating schedule.  First off, happy new year to everyone. Hope 2004 is better than 2003 was.  My new years was nothing special.  The host of the party I went to didn't arrive until 11:59 so we were allready off to a crappy start.  Then everyone there was a couple so it was like lovers central there.  Like I said, 2004 will hopefully be better....

My trip to the promised land was pretty good.  Nothing all that exciting or interesting but it was nice to go back.  The plane ride there was really good. No turbulence, no real problems and I think the drugs worked.  Weather was like upper 60's so it was nice to wear tshirts for a change.  However I'm happy to be back in the good 'ol USA. Oh and pictures from my trip can be found at http://pictures.hochmania.com 

Wanted: SWM seeks anyone to come on spring break with yours truely. Looking for budget minded soul who wants to go somewhere warm and enjoy the weather.  Fans of Mexico need not apply.  Inquire within.

Well this Xanga wasn't as large as I thought it was gonna be, but its pretty good anyway.  And if you don't like it, well.....kiss my ass

Song of the Day: AC/DC - Back in Black

I'm about to leave......see you all later.  In the words of General MacArthur, "I shall return"

Happy Hannukah! Y

On the plus side, here is a picture of the hotel I'm staying at:

In a matter of days I'm leaving on a jetplane and let me tell you, I'm petrified.  It's getting to the point where it's keeping me up at night.  I've flown plenty of times recently but at the very most, for 2 hours.  That's been the tradeoff: getting on a plane, yes it sucks, but I kept telling myself "Well it's only for an hour or two and you're done".  This is a 9 hour ride there and 10.5 coming back. Yes, I have my Xanax but who knows how effective it will be?  Maybe it'll just make me uneasy rather than having an ulcer for the entire trip.  When I was younger, I used to looove going to Israel cuz I'd get to go to the airport and go on an airplane.  Going there used to be the best part.  Now I just wish some big black dude would kick my ass right before I get to the airport and I'd only come to as we land. 

Song of the Day: Peter, Paul & Mary - Leaving on a jetplane

I really can't think of anything interesting to write so instead I'll just write what CD's im gonna pack with me for my trip....

Bon Jovi Mix - For some reason it's the only CD I can listen to while on an airplane, partly cuz I think it has all positive karma and such.....nothing bad being said.

Rap mix - cuz you never know when you need a lil 50 cent

Catch me if you can soundtrack - Just downloaded so it has novelty

AC/DC Mix - It's AC/DC...'nuff said

80's mix - C'mon, it's me....you knew I was gonna have one

Song of the Day: Catch Me If You Can Theme

Let winter break begin!  I started it off on a good note last night....got drunk at Yoros with Ameoba.  I'm pissed that I left when I did because this morning he called me and told me that he ran into our philisophy professor drunk off his ass and that he did some shots with him......that would have been a sight to see.  I'm now T-minus 10 days till Israel....Xanax will be my best friend very soon.  I got Nomi her hanukkah gift and now have to shop for just Emmy and assorted friends.

Song of the Day: Bon Jovi - Sleep When I'm Dead

Last day of class today and then two finals tomorrow and I'm done....sort of. I still have a take home final that's due the 21st but I won't be worrying about that till like....the 21st   This semester flew by really fast.  It was like I was just getting settled in back in September and then whoosh, here we are almost at Christmas.  Speaking of Christmas, I got my parents gifts and just need to purchase the rest of the gifts. I have a general idea of what I'm getting everyone.  Let me tell you, it's so much easier to shop for girls than it is for guys. 

Blah, I've really got nothing interesting to write.

Song of the Day: Wham - Last Christmas

Finals week is such a double edged sword. On the one hand, you get to sleep in, go to less classes and have more free time. On the other hand, you should be studying and doing work during that free time.  Regardless, after this Thursday I will be done with the Fall semester and be free!  Well, at least for a few weeks. 

Last Thursday I went to NYC court(No, I didn't do anything wrong this time) for my forensic chem class.  It was pretty interesting and the dude we saw, sold crack at Burger King in the village, was sooo guilty.  I'm not sure what his defense was other than the man trying to keep him down.

Happy 21st birthday to Pam....maybe this year you'll realize your true feelings  Speaking of birthdays, mine is coming soon...although I'll be spending it on the otherside of the planet   Please hold all gifts until, much like Jesus, my return
