i would have to say that today was one of the longest days i've experienced in a while. there was a lot going on, and it ended with me throwing my cell phone into my closet door and somewhat crippling it during a rather intense game of the Oregon Trail (it wasn't over the oregon trail) yet tonight, just like every other night this week i am just too tired from all the goddamn work i've been doing to deal with anything. i might have thrown my heart against the wall along with my phone. game over.

the last few days have been pretty darn good. fourth of july was a success even though my parents stayed home. brian, ashley, and liz came down for the party which was great. then the past two nights mat has had some pretty good parties. life would be great if mads didn't have mono. she should stop having mono because it's depressing.

my mom just told me that the doctors said that mads might have mono and they might not go to her softball tournament this weekend. just when i thought i was going to have four days to myself. bad mood is increasing.

alkaline trio makes amazing music. that's all i have to say. for the last 2 hours i've been gettin my drink on, playing oregon trail 2, and pumping the mega mix, which consists completely of the trio. if it was possible to have sex with the music they make i would do it. nose over tail remains one of their best songs, although that might just be because of sentimental value.

honestly i live for going up to new paltz at the end of the week. it's like that damn apple at the end of the stick. it keeps me going because i know at the end of the work week i get to go up and see all the people i miss oh so very much and just get completely trashed with them. it's simple and it's great.
i'm going to miss having jon around, through this week of just having him around and not cait it feels like i actually have an older brother, its pretty cool. but that's how i usually feel when he visits.
tomorrow after chillin with steinberg mat and i will venture up to new paltz, picking ashley up on the way for some fear and loathing action. what more could you ask for? a keg? oh yeah i think one will be there. we're set.

due to the rain that was going on today i didn't go out clamming and instead tried my hand at finally fixing my computer which has been limping along for about 3 months. after 6 hours of toiling with it's innards and finally nuking it with a program that came with the computer called "RESPAWN" which has all sorts of warnings over it saying that it'll restore my computer to it's factory conditions, normality has been restored. no more havens to viruses and no more stupid overheating alarms. now i get to reinstall everything. and after that i plan on getting drunk and playing oregon trail 2. can't top that.

i awoke this morning to the sound of a bunch of guys from lipa doing groundskeeping work in the field. right now i can hear one of them weed whacking inside the gated area where the abandoned house is. i imagine they'll discover that i've used that gated area as a dumping ground for the past 3 years for countless liquor bottles and beer cans. enjoy fellas

i think i have one of the best summer jobs right now. i got up at 815, got gas for the boat then got a giant ass sandwich from harbor side, then headed to the docks. around 10 i was at my spot for the day getting mad clams, well mad clams for me anyways. just being by myself out on the water making my own money without anyone else feels so awesome. also i feel like my dad's respect for me has increased a shitload since when he called me and asked if i was coming in because it was raining and i was like hell yeah, but after i finish my second bag. i think the last time i heard him that surprised/happy with me was when i called him up and asked him where the stuff was to wash the cars...last summer. also when i was finishing up my second bag of clams it started raining and there was thunder and as i was driving the boat back i was getting rained on without a shirt off, rocking the aviators, drinking a beer, and pumping metallica. i am badass.

in the eyes of the howes family, you aren't truly a man until you've been a digger. every member of my dad's generation are or have been diggers at some point in their life. it's basically like a rite of passage or a mitzvah of some sort. so today i went out with mat in my clamboat the G.A.B. "Hyperion". The first grab i did, i got a total of zero clams. then the motor wouldn't start and i almost ran the boat aground. but finally we got the boat working and got a sweet 50 clams in one grab but the wind picked up and one of the pipes wouldn't extend back out so we had to go to shallower and less fruitful waters. we ended the day with 400 clams and had celebratory beers. i am now a man of the howes family.

go see knocked up. i don't think i've seen a funnier movie or one with characters i've been able to identify more with. i think the last time i laughed that hard was when the guy fell onto the church steeple in hot fuzz. it was like that, but for the entire movie.

i've almost drank an entire handle of rum this weekend by myself, with giving anthony and lauren a little bit last night being the exception. it's been a good weekend. also i guess i called anthony up around 230 last night and just said "HOT SAUCE" for the voicemail and hung up? big surprise.

i began writing more of my book again, first time in a while. although i've been busy like crazy since i got back home i've still managed to get awesome ideas down. also after getting a great review from my target audience, my cousin matthew, i figured i should send him some more stuff. but funny story, as i was sitting back in my chair, keep in mind that somehow part of the left armrest was already cracked, but as i was basically lying back comepletely contemplating a last name for a character, it came to me. and just as i went to go ooh thats not too bad and write it down, there was a loud crack and the back of the chair basically came off completely sending me tunmling almost directly on top of hailey. i suppose after 2 years of me basically spending everyday in it putting all my weight on what i realized to be weak plastic armrests, the thing had just had it. now my favorite passtime, leaning all the way back in my chair and staring at my wall or computer screen is ruined. maybe it's god way of saying hey kenny, try excerising. or maybe it's karma. yeah probably karma.

this weekend was a fackin money weekend. friday night was a casual bro fest, got trashed off sparks, props to g spot for letting us chill at his house. saturday we hit up an east williston party, haven't been to that place in more than 3 years. lenweeners friends aren't too bad, although they didn't have shit on me and gib when it came to beer pong seeing how we fucking dominated the set for a good hour and a half before the party was broken up. yesterday i finished up working on the outboard for the boat and we had a bbq where basically mat and i talked about what was mad .....ish for a few hours. ended up getting pretty trashed and walked all the way back from kellys house 4am. i hid the 18 pack we had left somewhere along my walk home. but i'm not really sure where, maybe i'll look for that tonight even though its probably skunked and nasty. papa howes and i finally got the clam boat in the water and tied up to a mooring, i guess i'll be clamming on my own at some point this week. money. oh and kanye is the shit. i'm just sayin.

tonight was a most excellent bro night, balls were everywhere. mad laughs were had. tomorrow morning i will awake to find a family free house and proceed to drink a keg can during my shower and continue on a bender all afternoon until my family is due back, then i will flee the house with or without the help of my friends and not return until the following day. all i've got to say is the word of the fuckin day, jigga boo.

basically since i got home i haven't had a care in the world. i've been clamming/working on boats with my dad and gettin paid getting paid (young blood) and getting drunk with my friends. cards and sparks seems like its going to become a tradition for me mat gib dave and anthony. what with us getting trashed tonight while playing mushroom, a game gib brought to the table and was the shit. i drank a drink that tasted like pure asshole, but not as bad. as i've tried to accentuate these past few entries, basically this summer is me and all my best friends being men. tomorrow we're having a dunk contest, then i'm going clamming. could i be more manly? let me answer that for you, probably. but for now its the best i can do. brian is coming her on friday, hopefully we can keep him here all memorial day weekend and have some sort of cracked out memorial day fishing trip. i'd be down. and hey mark, i know youre reading this. get your ass down here. i love you all.

as i laid on my back today from 10 to 2 today underneath my boat while putting on a coat of bottom paint and listening to the sick tunes of bayside i realized that this is basically what we've been talking about making this summer. just being men. nothing says manly like painting a boat and fixing an outboard motor. fuck yeah. this summer is gonna be ill, especially with guy weekend coming up in a few weeks.
