I've been very busy this year with work and hanging out with friends. As I mentioned in my last post, this year has been fun and exciting for me. I've gone to so many museums, movies, bars, and events that I could have ever imagined. I've had little time to focus on my writing and my passion for comedy. But I needed a year like this to show me what I missed out on during my teen years. I didn't have the opportunity to drink, party, or stay out late when I was younger, but now I have the chance and I'm enjoying it. As much fun as I've been having lately, I have been exhausted at times. There are times when I'm so stressed out and tired from work, I just want to go home and sleep for 10 hours. But I can handle it for now. I'm going to keep having fun until this year ends. Come 2012, maybe I'll tone it down a little. But I have to continue having fun while I'm still young. Happy Holidays!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-8740979027748567300?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/8740979027748567300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=8740979027748567300' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8740979027748567300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8740979027748567300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2011/12/long-and-busy-year.html' title='Long and Busy Year'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-2782441291194082966</id><published>2011-06-26T11:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T12:17:28.696-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sights, Sounds &amp; Places</title><content type='html'>I  haven't  posted  on  here  for  a while  because  I  have  been  very  busy.  I've  been  working,  hanging  out  with  co-workers  and  friends,  and  writing  articles  for Starpulse  and  doing  my  BlogTalk  radio  show.  This  year  has  been  the  best  year  of  my life  so  far.  I've  been  to  so  many  events  and  visited  so  many  places.  I've  gone  bowling  for  the first  time,  done  Karaoke,  rode  the  cyclone  and  other  thrilling rides  at  Coney  Island - Luna  Park,  gone  to  the  AMC  Theatre  on 34th street  to  see  films  like  Hangover  2  and  Super  8,  attended  a  Pillow  fight  in  Union  Square,  visited  museums  like  the  Bodies  Exhibition  Museum, drank  some  delicious  beer  at  the  Brooklyn  Brewery,  attended  NY  Liberty,  Knicks,  and  Yankees  games, received  great  lap  dances  at  different  strip  clubs,  played  games  at  Dave &amp; Buster,  and  gone  to  various  bars  and  restaurants  with  my  fellow  co-workers/friends  after  work.  Not  to  mention,  I've  been  having  some  great  sex  lately  with  a  nice  girl.  The  list  can  go  on  and  on.

A  couple  of  weeks  ago,  I  went  to  my  first  ever  NY  Giants  game  at  the  New Meadowlands  Stadium  in  Rutherford,  New  Jersey.  I  thought  the  ride  to  Jersey  was  going  to  be  very  long,  but  it  was  just  about  two  hours.  I  took  the  local  Q  train  to  34th  Street - Penn  Sation  and  then  transferred  to  a  Path  train  heading  to  Hoboken,  NJ.  Then  I  got  off  and  purchased  a  ticket  to for a  train  heading straight  to  the  Stadium.  The  Stadium  is  big  and  beautiful.  Since  this  game  was  between  the  Giants  and  Eagles  for  the  division  title,  the  seats  were  filled  and  sold-out  with  Giants  fans  who  were  cheering  and  high  fiving  each other throughout  the  game  until  the  last  play when  the  stupid  Giants  punter  kicked  the  ball  off  to  one  of  the  fastest  guys  in  the  NFL- DeSean  Jackson.  From  there  Jackson  recovered  the  ball  he  almost  fumbled  and  ran  past  all  of  the  Giants  special  team  players into  the  end zone.  To  make  matters  worse,  he  ran  the  clock  out  just  before  he  stepped  into  the  end zone  for  the  winning  touchdown.  All  of  the  Giants  fans  sat  there  depressed  as  the  Eagles  players  and  fans  celebrated  like  they  just  won  the  Superbowl.  It  was  a cold,  cold  day --literally.  We  lost  the  game  and  I  froze  my  ass  off.  The  only  person  I  think was  warm  during  the  game  was  this  old  dude  sitting  next  to  me  who  wouldn't  shut  up.  His  hot  ol'  breath  kept  him  warm. Anyway,  despite  seeing  my  Giants  lose  an  important  game  and  freezing  my  butt  off,  it  was  a  great  experience.  I'll  never  forget  my  first  NFL/Giants  game at  the  Meadowlands.  I  can  tell  my  future kids that  I  was  in  the  seats  that  day  when  the  Miracle  at  the  Meadowlands  II   occurred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last  week,  me  being  the  nice  guy  that  I  am,  I  bought  some  Christmas presents  for  some  of  my  co-workers.  I  gave  some  of  them  snow  globes,  cookies,  and  Christmas  cards.  I  gave  my  crush  a  bottle  of  Sangria  (her  favorite)  and  a  card.  In  return,  she  and  another  female  co-worker  gave  me  a  card  and  scratch-off  prize  tickets.  I  gave both  of  them  big  hugs.  I  also  received  some  Winter  gear  from  my  best  female  friend  in  the  company.  I  gave  her  some  cookies,  a  CD,  and  a  card  as  Christmas presents. It was a Merry Christmas for my co-workers and me because of all the gifts I received this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last  night,  some  of  us  co-workers  went  drinking  to  a  bar  near the  work  place.  Everyone  got  drunk  and  almost  everyone  made  out  with  each  other.  I  had  the  chance  to  make  out  with  my  best  female  friend  and  another  female co-worker,  who  is  very  wild.  But  the  most  important  kiss  was  from  my  crush.  After  I  saw  her  kiss  several  other  people,  I  asked  if I  could  get  one.  And  she  agreed  and  puckered  her  lips  against  mine.  It  wasn't  a  long  kiss  but  it  was  just  enough  for  me.  That  kiss  is special  because  of  the  feelings  I  have  for  her.  I  always  imagined  and  fantasized  what  it  would  be  like  to  get  a  kiss  from  her,  and  it  finally  happened.  I  wanted  another  kiss  after  that,  but  she  was  hesitant.  I  still  think  she  likes  me  because  of  the  way  she  looks at  me  from  a  distance  sometimes  and  has  trouble  making  eye  contact.  Hopefully  this  New  Year  I  can  break  the  ice  between  me  and  her  by  having  a  one-on-one  conversation  over  some  food  and  drinks  after  work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  year  was  full  of  partying,  drinking,  and  lusting.  I  really  enjoyed  it  and hope  there's  more  of  the same  craziness  in  2011.  Happy New  Year  to  all!!!!!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-4195710494831837312?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/4195710494831837312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=4195710494831837312' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4195710494831837312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4195710494831837312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-new-year.html' title='HAPPY  NEW  YEAR!!!!!'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TR58rrsTcPI/AAAAAAAAAls/xNY8M9nepGw/s72-c/happy-new-year.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-1760265366685596735</id><published>2010-12-14T19:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-14T20:46:32.086-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Highs  and  Lows</title><content type='html'>The  title  says  it  all.  The  last  couple  of  weeks  have  been  really  high,  and  really  low.  Let's  start  with  the  highs.  Two  Saturdays  ago,  me  and  my  buddy  Will  hung  out  and  went  to  the  Chinatown  Fair  Video  Arcade.  We  hadn't  been  to  an  arcade  since  we  went  to  the  Coney  Island  arcade  for  my  birthday.  The  difference  between  the  Chinatown  arcade  and  the  Coney  Island  arcade  is  the  Chinatown  arcade  has  old  school  video  games  like  Ms. Pac- Man,  Street  Fighter,  Tekken,  and  other  games  from  the  80's  and  90's.  We  had  a  fun  time  playing  those  classic  games  and  I  kicked  Will's  butt  in  the  fighting  games  for  the  most  of  the  day.  Aside  from  the  arcade  being  all  the  way  in  Chinatown,  the  only  thing  I  didn't  like  about  the  Fair  Video  Arcade  was  the  smell  in  the  back.  The  back  of  the  arcade  smelled  like  feet  and  poop.  Me  and  Will  only stayed for  two  minutes  in  that  area.  The  combination  of  the  sweat  coming  from  the  kids  playing  those  dance  off  games  and  the  poopy/feet  smell  in  the  back  was  too  much  too  take.  Me  and  Will  left  the  arcade  a  half  an  hour  later.  We  were  there  at  the  arcade  for  a  good  two  hours.  Like  I  said,  it  was  a  fun  time.  It  made  me  feel  like  a  little  kid  in  junior  high  again  going  to  the arcade  and  filling  the  video  game  machines  with  quarters.  After  leaving  the  arcade,  me  and  Will  headed  to  Times  square  to  Shake  Shack.  A  month  earlier,  I  told  him  how  great  the  burgers  and  shakes  are  at  Shake  Shack  when  I  went  with  one  of  my  co-workers.  Will  wanted  to  believe  the  hype  and  go  to  the  shack  to try  the  burgers  and  shakes  himself  to  see  if  I  was  indeed  right.  And  I  was!  After  waiting  what  seemed  like  hours  on -line  in  the  cold,  we  finally  got  into  the  restaurant  and  got  our  hands  on  those  delicious  burgers  and  shakes.  Once  Will  tried  his  burger  and  peanut  butter  shake,  he  was  hooked.  His  hands  didn't  leave  his  tray  once.  Neither  did  mine.  I  cleared  all  the  food  off  the  tray  except  the  jelly  donut  ice  cream  that I  brought  home  with  me.  Will  believed  the  hype  and  said  he  would  invite  his  family  to  Shake  Shack  one  day.  I  was  happy  he enjoyed  the  food  and  didn't  go  back  on-line  in  the  cold  for  seconds.  After  the  Shake  Shack  meal,  we  both  headed  home  and  rested  our  full  bellies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another  high  occurred  last  week  when  my company  held  a  holiday  party  after  work.  All  of  the  employees  were  required  to  bring  in  gifts  under  $30.  A  couple  of  weeks  before  the  event,  I  purchased  a  hula  hoop  hoping  my  crush  at  the  job  would  somehow  get  it.  The  day  started  with  most  of  the  co-workers  attending  a  three  hour  personality  survey  training.  Later,  we had  a  brief meeting  and  headed  over  to  a  bar/lounge  for  the  holiday  party.  When  I  got  there  I  was  already  dressed  to  impress.  I  was  in  my  black suit  and tie.  I  was  looking  good.  I  put  my  gift  on  the  gift  table  and  spent  the  night  chatting  with  the  co-workers,  eating,  and  drinking.  I  tried  to  have  some  one-on-one  time  with  my  crush,  but  as  usual,  she  kept  running  away  from  me  as  I  tried  to  talk to  her.  I  did  however  talk  with  her  roommate  whom  she  invited  as  a guest.  I  got  some  insight  on  why  she  behaves  the  way  she  does.  Anyway,  near  the  end  of  the  night,  everyone  was  given  numbers  to  go  up  on  stage  and  pick  a  gift.  At  any  time  a  number  after  the  previous  number  could  steal  a  gift  from  that  person.  I  was  hoping  my  crush  picked  my  gift  or  at  least  steal  it  from  somebody  if  she  got  the  chance.  And  that's  exactly  what  happened.  Two  numbers  before,  a  female  co-worker  picked  up  the  hula  hoop.  As  soon  as my  crush  saw  that  hula  hoop,  she  wanted  it.  And  she  wanted  it  bad.  When  it  was  her  turn to  go  up,  she stole  the  hula  hoop  from  the  other  female  co-worker.  She  ended  up  with  the  hula  hoop  without  anyone  stealing  it  from  her.  Just  like  I  planned  and  imagined.  I  was  so  excited  to  see  her  playing with  the  hula  hoop  afterward  and  sharing it  with  the  other  co-workers.  That  made  my  night.  It  was  fabulous!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  now  to  the  lows.  My  job  is  starting  to  become  more  stressful  and  stressful.  So  many  things  to  do  in  this  position.  I  feel  I  should  be  getting  paid  more  than  I'm being paid  right  now. Also,  I  am  getting tired  of  the  late  shift.  Every  four  weeks  I'm  assigned  to  the  late  shift.  I  have  no  problem  going  to  work  late,  but  I  hate  leaving  late  at  night  when  everybody  is  already  home.  It's  frustrating.  Another  thing  that's  frustrating  and  depressing  is  my  relationship  with  my  crush,  if  you  want  to  call  it  a  relationship.  I  barely  have  the  chance  to  talk  to  her.  And  when  I  do  talk  to  her,  she's  always  hurrying  up  to  end  the  conversation  or  walk  way.  I  really  like  her  but  I  feel  helpless  in  trying  to  develop  some  kind  of  friendship  with  her.  I  think  I'm  going  to  have  to  write  a  letter  to  her.  It's  the  only  way  I  can explain  to  her  everything  I'm  feeling.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-1760265366685596735?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/1760265366685596735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=1760265366685596735' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1760265366685596735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1760265366685596735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/12/highs-and-lows.html' title='Highs  and  Lows'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-1968529835931839370</id><published>2010-11-20T15:38:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-20T17:43:26.385-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Party  Animal</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TOh12CEh6XI/AAAAAAAAAlI/3XYhztacOqA/s1600/Party%2BLights.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TOh12CEh6XI/AAAAAAAAAlI/3XYhztacOqA/s320/Party%2BLights.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541808912608651634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TOh1-Oz8fII/AAAAAAAAAlQ/UsGTFewmlno/s1600/glowingice.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 263px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TOh1-Oz8fII/AAAAAAAAAlQ/UsGTFewmlno/s320/glowingice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541809053467704450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  past  few  weeks  have  been  the  best  few  weeks  of  my  life.  I've  partied  more  than  I've  ever  partied  before.  It  all  started  two  days  before  Halloween,  on  a  Friday,  when  I  went  to  the  Flashdancers'  Annual  Halloween  event.  They  had  dancers  dressed  up  as  she-devils,  French  maids,  and  school  girls.  I  got a  double  lap  dance  from two  bunny rabbits.  It  was  definitely  the  best  lap  dance  I've  ever  gotten.  As Elmer  Fudd  would  say,  "Those  wascally  rabbits."  Overall,  that  night  at  Flashdancers  was  one  of  the  best  nights  I've  ever  had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now,  let's  move  to  the  week  after  that.  The  company  that  I  work for held  a  quarterly  event  at  a  Hookah  bar &amp;amp; lounge.  It  was  on  a  Wednesday,  I  believe,  after  work.  Most  of  the  employees  showed  up,  including  my  crush  aka  Jessica  Alba  look-alike.  We played  trivia  and  one  of  the  answers  was  me.  The  question  was  "Who  likes  to  share  his  candy  with  everyone in the office?"  Since  I'm  known  for  providing  the  company  with  candy  and  other  snacks,  the  answer  was  obviously - Maccorley.  I  was  flattered  that  they  included  me  as  a  trivia  question.  It  shows  that  a lot  people  in  the  company  do  appreciate  me  and  love the  goodies  that I  bring  in.  Anyway,  there  was  food,  drinks,  and  hookah  being  served  for  everyone.  For  those  of  you  who  don't  know  what  Hookah  is,  it's  a  waterpipe  containing  filtered  smoke  that  passes  and  is  cooled  through  the  water  in  a  glass  based  instrument.  The  tobacco  in  the  hookah  is  called  shisha  or  sheesha.  It  comes  in  many  different  flavors - raspberry,  lemon,  mint.  I  think  my  table  had  mint.  It  was  my first  time  smoking  hookah  and  it  was  ggggggrrrrrreat!!!!!!!!!  I  would  love  to  try  it  again  sometime.  After  the  trivia  ended  and  everyone  went  home  light-headed  from  the  hookah  and  alcoholic  drinks,  several  of  the  senior employees  and  managers  entertained  us  with  some  music  by  DJaying.  It  was  getting  late,  so  many  people  left  by  the  time  the  music  and  dancing  started.  I  stayed  around for  awhile  to  dance  and  watch  my  crush  dance  too.  Man,  she  has  some  moves!  I  wish  I  had  the  balls  to  dance  with  her,  but  I  was  too  shy.  Maybe  next  time..........at  the  company  Christmas  party  next  month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two  days  later  after  the  company  event,  I  spent  the  Friday  night  smoking  a  Newport  cigarette  and  some  Marijuana  with  one  of  my  co-workers  whom  I'm  close  friends  with.  I  don't  know  what  I  was  thinking.  I  guess  that  Hookah  gave  me  the  craving  for  some  tobacco  and  weed.  My  co-worker  friend  lives  in  Harlem  and I  made  the  journey  with  her  all  the  way  to  her  apartment.  Along  the  way,  she  stopped  near  a  corner  to  purchase  weed  from  her  dealer  friend.  Interesting  stuff!  When  we  got  to  her apartment,  I  immediately  asked  her  where  my  crush  slept.  My  crush  had  to  crash  at  her  apartment  after  the  company  event  because  it  was  too  late  to  go back  to  New  Jersey,  where  she  lives,  that  night.  It  was  good  to know  that  my  crush  had  a  comfy  bed  in  the  living  room  that  she  slept  on  that  night.  Me  and  my  co-worker  friend  spent  the  rest  of  the  night  watching  a  Survivor  re-run,  eating  Chinese  food,  and  talking  about  anything  that  came  to  our  minds.  Oh  yeah,  and  as I  mentioned  earlier,  we  smoked  Newports  and  weed. And  she  even showed  me  how  to  roll  up  Marijuana in  a  cigar  leaf.  That  was  probably  the  best  show  and  tell  presentation I've  ever  seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me  and  my  co-worker  friend  have  been  close  since  we  started  working  together  at  the  company.    Her  name  is  Marsha  and  we  started  on  the  same  day - the  last  week  of  March,  I  think.  She  currently  sits  behind  me  in  the  sales  area  and  gives  me  advice  when  I  need  it.  We  have  a  brother  and  sister  relationship,  even  though  I  know  she  likes  me.  But  she  knows  I  have  eyes  on  one  woman  only,  my  crush - Maureen  Silva.  Two  weeks  ago,  me  and  Marsha  went  to  see  Pee  Wee  Herman  on  Broadway.  It's  been  years  since  I  watched  Pee  Wee  Herman.  So  when  Marsha  told  me  that  Pee  Wee  Herman  was  starring  on  Broadway  and  she  was  a  fan  just  like I  was,  I  immediately  went  online  and  bought  us  tickets  to  see  the  show  after  work.  The  show  was  on  a Tuesday  and  was  at  the  Stephen  Sondheim  theatre  on  43rd  street.  Since  the  company  is  located  on  35th  street,  we  only  walked  eight  blocks  to  the  theatre.  We  had  good  seats  on  the  side  of  the  Orchestra,  although  the  theatre  was  very  cold  for  some  reason.  Overall,  the  show  was  great!  All  the  characters  from  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pee-Wee's  playhouse&lt;/span&gt;  like  Cowboy  Curtis,  King  of Cartoons,  Tito,  Miss  Yvonne,  Jambi,  and  Chairry,  the  talking  chair  were  there.  Penny  the  claymation  cartoon  character  was  shown  on  a  big  screen  during  the  play  too.  Laurence  Fishburne  couldn't  reprise  his  role  as  Cowboy  Curtis,  but  Phil  LaMarr  from  Madtv  did  an  excellent  job  in  the  role. And  Paul  Reubens  is  always  fantastic  as  Pee  Wee Herman.  After  the  show,  me and  Marsha  went  to  Shake  Shack,  where  they  sell  burgers  like  crack.  We  met  up  with  her  sister  and  her  friend,  who  was  telling  funny  stories  all  night.  The  burger  and  strawberry  shake  at  Shake  Shack  is  the  best  I've  ever  tasted.  I  definitely  have  to  go  back  there  with  my  best  friend  Will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  past  week  I  went  to  a  bar  for  a  co-worker's  goodbye  celebration  and  another  co-worker's  birthday  bash.  Some  of  the  other  employees  showed up.  We  drank  some  beers  and  talked.  Then  we  walked  to  a  place  called  JT  Utah  where  several  of  the  female  co-workers,  including  Marsha,  Maureen  (damn  she  rides  a  bull  intensely),  and  the  co-worker  who  was  leaving,  ride  a  mechanical  bull.  A  couple  of  the  male  co-workers  were  trying  to  convince me to  ride  the  bull,  but  there  was  no  way  I  was  going  to  straddle  a  damn  mechanical  animal.  The  only  things  I  ride  are  trains,  cars,  and  women.  After  all  the  bull-riding  and  drinking,  we  all  sat  down  and  ate  and  listened  to  some  Karaoke.  As  the  night  ended,  we  all  parted  ways  and  I  gave  everyone  a  hug, including  a  big  hug  to  the  fellow  co-worker  and  writer  who  was  leaving  the  company.  I  also  gave  her  a  hug  the  day  after  (her  last day)  along  with  samples  of  my  funny writings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last  night,  after  saying  good-bye  to  another  co-worker  during  the day  and  eating  some  delicious  pizza  and  lemon  chips  with  guacamole,  I  decided  to  go  to  a  gypsy/hippie  invitation  from  one  of  my  other  female  co-workers.  Her  name  is  Michelle  and  she  twirls  fire.  That  was  the  main  reason  I  went  to  this shindig -- to see  her  spin  fire,  and  check  out  the  good  looking  girls.  Finding  the  location  was  a  pain  in  the  ass.  The  place  was located  near  Grand  Street  in  Brooklyn  in  a  Warehouse.  I  walked  around  for  an  hour  trying  to  find  the  place.  When  I  finally  found  it  and  walked  in,  the  place  smelled  like  marijuana.  It  was  also  too  damn  cold.  But  I  stayed  for  Michelle  and  enjoyed  the  gypsy  songs  and  dances.  I  even  ate  some  gypsy  cupcakes  and  drank rum  and  whiskey  with  ginger ale.  I  have  to  admit  there  were  several  fine  looking  women  there.  Too  bad  they're  hippies.  I  left  after  two  hours  because  Michelle  was  falling  asleep.  I  walked  her  to  the  train  station to  make  sure  she  got  home  safe.  I  didn't  get  the  chance  to  see  her  spin  fire,  but  I  told  her  there  will be other  opportunities  where  I  will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  that  wraps  up  my  last  few  weeks  of  drinking,  dancing,  and  partying  like  I'm  a  Socialite.

The  next  night,  on  a  full  moon,  I  dressed  up  like  a  werewolf  and  took  pictures.

This  was  my  first  psychic  experience  and  it  turned  out  pretty  good.  Ever  since  I  was  a  little  boy  I've  always  been  on  the  fence  with  psychics.  On  one  hand,  I  believe  that  there  are  psychics  who  can  really  look  into  the  future  and  have  the  ability  of  clairvoyance.  On  the  otherhand,  I  also  believe  that  there  are  psychics  out  there  who  are  scam  artists  and  make  people  pay  hundreds  of  bucks  for  cold  readings.  I've  seen  Pyshics  on  TV  like  Sylvia Browne  and  John  Edward,  I  was  always  skeptical  about  their  readings  and predictions.  So,  I  wanted  to  finally  go  to  a  psychic  and  see  for  myself  how accurate  this  psychic  would  be  at  telling  me about  myself  and  my  life.  I  also  wanted  to  go  to  see  what  this  psychic  would  say  about  the  girl  I'm  in  love  with  right  now.  After  searching  the  web  for  psychics  in  NYC  and  reading  reviews  on  Citysearch  and Yelp.com,  I  decided  this  psychic  named  Shana  would  be  the  one  I  would  visit  to  provide  me  with  a  psychic  reading.  I  didn't  call  to  set  up  an  appointment  before hand.  I  just  went  to  the  location  after work  on  Friday  and  stood  outside  the building  where  I  noticed  the  name  "Psychic  Shana"  above  her  apartment  bell  downstairs.  After  ringing  the bell  a  few  times  and  no  one  buzzed  me  in,  I  decided  to  enter  the  building  and  walk  up  to  the  second  floor  where  her  apartment  was.  Just  as  I  was  walking  upstairs  to  her  apartment,  a  hot  woman  came  out  of  the  apartment  and  said  "Can  I  help  you?"  That's  when  I  said,  "I'm  here  to  see  psychic  Shana."  She  then  told  me  to  come  back  in  fifteen  minutes.  I  said,  "Ok."  So  I  walked  around  East Village  for  15-20  minutes  and  saw  everything  the  neighborhood  had  to  offer - punk  rockers,  yuppies,  homeless  people,  gays  and  lesbians,  and  crackheads.  It  was  like  I  was  on  another  planet.  After  about  20  minutes,  I  went  back  to  Psychic  Shana's  location  and  rang  the  bell  downstairs.  This  time  she  buzzed  me.  I  walked  up  to  her  apartment  and  knocked  on  the  door.  The  hot  woman  from  earlier  answered  the  door  and  made  me  sit  down  at  a  table  near  the  entry way  of  the  apartment.  That's  when  I  realized  that  the  hot  woman  was  psychic  Shana.  WTF!  I  always  thought  female  psychics  were  old  and  fat.  This  psychic  was  middle  aged  and  was  smoking  hot.  Forget  the  reading,  I  wanted  to  have  sex  with  her.  But  that's  not  why  I  was  there,  unfortunately.  Anyway,  I  sat  down  at the  table  and  she  sat  on  the  opposite  side  of  it.  The  apartment  wasn't  as  creepy  as  you  would  expect  from  a  psychic.  It  was  dimly  lit  with  some  candles  in the  background  and  the  place  smelled  like  wet  paint  and  burning  rubber.  Shana  asked  me  what  kind  of  reading I  wanted  and  I  told  her I  wanted  a  tarot  reading.  She  then  picked  up  some  tarot  cards  from  the  table  and  gave  them  to  me.  She  told  me  to  split  them  in  half  and  make  a  wish  on  them.  After closing  my  eyes  and  making  the  wish,  I  gave  the  cards  back  to  her.  This  is  when  she  proceeded  to  the  reading  and  began  planting  each  card  on  the  table  one  by  one  while  telling  me  adjectives  about  myself  like  how  I'm  honest  and  smart.  As  she  was  going  through  these  lists  of  adjectives,  I'm  thinking  how  she's  full  of shit  and  I'm  about  to  waste  $40  on  a  fraud  reading.  But  just  as  I  was  beginning  to  doubt  her,  she  started  coming  up  with  general  statements  about  my  life  that  were  accurate.  She  said  that  I  had  a  recent  death  in  the  family,  which  was  true.  She  also  said  that I  recently  started  a  new  job,  which  was  also  true.  But  the  part  that  she  hit  on  the  head  was  when  she  said  that  there's  a  girl  right  now  that  I  like  who  also  likes  me.  According  to  Psychic Shana,  this  girl  is  guarded  and  has  been  hurt  before.  She  needs  some  space.  Shana  advised  me  to  be  patient  with  her  and  everything  will  fall  into  place  once  I  give  her  time  and  space.  She  was  dead accurate  on  this  reading.  There  is  a  girl  right  now  that  I  like and  I  do  feel  she  likes  me  but  has  her  guard  up.  Psychic Shana  just  confirmed  my  suspicions.  I  had  gotten  what  I  wanted  to hear.  After  that,  the  reading  was  over  and  Shana  asked  me  for  the  $40.  I  gave  her  an  extra  $10  because  she  was  hot.  I  shook  her  hand  and  thanked  her  for  the  tarot  reading.  I  told  her  I  would  be  back  for  a  full  reading  on my  birthday.  Maybe.  I  then  left  her  place  and  went  home  satisfied.  Even  though  some  of  the  things  Shana  said  was  generic  and  vague,  that  last  part  about  the  girl  I  like  was  very  accurate.  This  experience  doesn't  change my  skepticism  about  psychics,  but  it  does  make  me  realize  that they  can  be  helpful  even  though they  may  be  making  things  up.  I'm  glad  I  went  to  see  Psychic  Shana  even  though she  was  only  60%  accurate.  She  helped  me  realize  what  I  need  to  do  to  win the  heart  of  the  girl  I'm  in love  with  right  now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-7521712873179128691?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/7521712873179128691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=7521712873179128691' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7521712873179128691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7521712873179128691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/09/visit-to-psychic.html' title='A  Visit  To  The  Psychic'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TI2oP2I-ZbI/AAAAAAAAAkY/PuchE5-AFaE/s72-c/0_0_0_0_150_247_csupload_1125894_large.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-7477265573531265200</id><published>2010-08-15T21:06:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T21:36:24.508-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ugh!!!!!</title><content type='html'>I'm  very  tired  right  now,  so  this  post  is  going  to  be  short  and  sweet  so  I  can  go  to  bed  and  sleep.  I  just  finished  watching  the  Comedy  Central  Roast  of  David  Hasselhoff.  It  was  hilarious!  David  Hasselhoff  was  a  good  sport  for  taking  all  those  insults  directed  towards  him  and  his  career.  The  usual  roasters  like  Jeffrey Ross,  Greg  Giraldo,  and  Lisa  Lampanelli  delivered  great  performances  and  insult  jokes,  but  the  MVP  of  the  night  was  Whitney  Cummings.  I've  seen  her  before  on  the  shortly  lived  TV  show  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The  Tony  Rock  Project&lt;/span&gt;  but  I  never  knew  how  brutally  funny  she  was.  She  killed  tonight.  I  was  nearly  in  tears  after  she  made  a  joke  that  Pamela  Anderson  should  drink  Magic  Johnson's  blood  to  end  her  career  once  and  for  all.  Too  funny!!!&lt;br /&gt;This  past  week  was  slow  and  boring.  My  finger  has  been  numb and  tingly  all  week.  I  went  to  the  doctor  on  Tuesday  and  he  referred  me  to  a  Neurologist  whom  I will  see  this  upcoming  week.  I'm  hoping  it's  just  Ulnar  nerve  entrapment,  not  Carpal  Tunnel  Syndrome.  On  Friday,  I  didn't  see  Mrs. Beautiful.  I  missed  her  a lot.  Hopefully  I'll  see  her  on  Monday.  I  think  and  dream  about  her  more  than  ever  now.  I  can  officially say  that  I  am  in  love  with  this  girl  and  I  want  to marry  her.  All  I  need  is  some  one  on one  time  with  her  so  we  can get  to  know  each  other  a little  better.  Last  Last  Friday,  we  went  to  the  Imax  theater  in  Times  Square  after  work  to  see  Inception.  Unfortunately,  there  were  other  co-workers  there  with  us,  so  I  couldn't  put  any  moves  on  her.  I  didn't  even  get  the  chance  to  sit  next  to  her  in  the  movie  theater.  Ugghhh!!!  But  at  least  she  shared  her  chocolate  rasins  with  me.  That  was  sweet  of  her.  One  of  these  days  I'm  going to  win  her  heart  just  like  she's  won  mine!&lt;br /&gt;I'm  going to  sleep  now.  Gotta  wake  up early  for  work  tomorrow.  Later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-7477265573531265200?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/7477265573531265200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=7477265573531265200' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7477265573531265200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7477265573531265200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/08/ugh.html' title='Ugh!!!!!'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-6470677353034266217</id><published>2010-06-26T17:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-15T21:39:23.419-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ms. Silva,  You're  Beautiful!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TCac80G5m-I/AAAAAAAAAjQ/hxFFxWAWLus/s1600/600px-Flag_of_Portugal.svg.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TCac80G5m-I/AAAAAAAAAjQ/hxFFxWAWLus/s320/600px-Flag_of_Portugal.svg.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487245764591197154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                          &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;   &lt;center&gt;  Beautiful  like  your  native  Portugal&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're the  most  beautiful  woman  I've  ever  met.

It  was  Will's  first  live  wrestling  event  and  my  second. Just  before  we  went  to  the  WWE  show,  we  decided  to  go  to  Rick's  Cabaret  since  the  strip  club  is  a  few  blocks  from  the  Garden.  I  have  to  admit  that  this  trip  to  Rick's  was  a  major  disappointment.   The  club  was  dead  (maybe  because  we  showed  up  in the  daytime)  with  only  a  few  strippers  giving  lap dances.  Will  got  lap dances  from  two  girls,  one  of  them  gave  him  a  lecture  on  the  no  touching  policy  the  club  enforces.  When  she  was  giving  him  this  lecture,  I  kept  saying  in  my  mind,  "Shut  up  bitch  and  just  dance."  I  only  got  two  lap dances  from  this  one  stripper,  who  wouldn't  keep  quite  about  dating  Caribbean  guys.  I  really  didn't  care  because  I  was  drunk  and  all  I  wanted  was  a  damn  lap dance,  not  a  conversation  about  former  partners.  That  lap dance  didn't  do  anything  for  me.  I  didn't  get  aroused  at  all.  I  got  more  aroused from  seeing  the  WWE  divas  from  100  feet  away  in  the  stands  than  I  did  from  receiving  that  one  lap dance  at  Rick's  Cabaret.  I  left  the  club  with  Will  drunk  and  disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As  we  rushed  to  the  Garden  to  see  the  SuperShow,  I  was  kind  of  dizzy  and  light headed.  That  Long  Island  Ice  Tea  and  Heineken  I  drank  at  Rick's   had  a  strong  effect  on  me.  I  was  able  to  sober  up  after  drinking  some  Sprite  soda  and  ice  cream  that  Will  bought.  He  paid  for  the  food  since  I  paid  for  the  tickets.  We  sat  in  fair  seats  high  up  from  the  action.  Everything  in  the  show was  clear  and  we  could  see  which  wrestlers  came  in  and  out  of  the  ring.  My  favorite  wrestler  R-Truth  energized  the  crowd  with  his  intro,  rapping  into  the  mic  and  getting  the  MSG  audience  involved  by  saying,  "What's  Up?"  The  best  moment  of  the  night  for  Will  was  when  the  WWE  divas  showed  up.  Their  match  was  boring,  but  it's  always  exciting  to  see Maryse  or  the  Bella  Twins in  the  building.  Me  and  Will  saw  the  Bella  Twins  after  the  show  behind  the  Garden.  They  were  led  by  security  to  their  limos.  Overall,  this  WWE  show  was  a  good  show.  It  wasn't  as  exciting  as  the  Raw  event  I  went  to  late  last  year,  but  it  was  good  to  see  wrestlers  I  hadn't  seen  before  in  person  like  R-Truth  and  Maryse.  Oh  Maryse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After  the  show  and  wasting  our  time  waiting  for  wrestlers  to  exit  behind  the  Garden,  Will  went  straight  home  and  I  went straight  to  my  favorite  strip  club - FlashDancers. Rick's  was  so  disappointing,  I  had  to  go  to  FD's  to  remember  how  a  real  lap  dance  feels  like.  And  boy,  those  lap  dances  were  as  WWE  wrestler  Miz  would  say,  "AWESOME!"  One  of  the  strippers  looked  like  Leelee  Sobieski.  She was grinding on and  staring  at  me  with  her  sexy  stripper  eyes.  Her  skin  was  soft  and  young.  I  wanted  to  bang  the  crap  out  of  her.  She  and  the  other  strippers  made  me  realize  that  there's  no  better  strip  club  in  NYC  than  FlashDancers.  I  hope  to  go  back  in  October. Hopefully  it  won't  be  as  crowded  as  it  was  last  Saturday.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-5230232862807274433?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/5230232862807274433/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=5230232862807274433' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5230232862807274433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5230232862807274433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/06/people-over-there-whats-up.html' title='People  Over  There  What&apos;s  Up?'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/TCaYVj7aBHI/AAAAAAAAAjA/Cju2kkQfPK4/s72-c/rtruth265.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-409484588785754991</id><published>2010-05-23T14:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-23T15:47:22.845-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Tired  Man  Walking</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S_mvqUbP_bI/AAAAAAAAAiA/WQOY1xGzYfc/s1600/TIRED+MAN.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S_mvqUbP_bI/AAAAAAAAAiA/WQOY1xGzYfc/s320/TIRED+MAN.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474599963617918386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm  back!  My  busy  work  schedule  has  prevented  me  from  writing  on  this  blog  and  in  my  notebooks  of  thoughts.  I  work  nine  hours  a  day  and  when  I  arrive  home  from  work,  I  go  straight  to  bed  because  I'm  so  drained  and  exhausted.  This  past  week  I've  felt  like  a  dead  man  walking.  I've  been  so  tired,  I  haven't  had  a  chance  to  organize  some  things  in  my  life - like  my  room  and  my  underwear.  That  is  why  I'm  always  thrilled  when  the  weekend  arrives  so  I  can  catch  up  on  some  things  I  haven't  been  able  to  focus  on  during  the  work  week.&lt;br /&gt;Last  weekend,  I  was  invited  to  a  farewell  dinner  for  one  of  my  old  friends  from  college.  I  hadn't  seen  her  in  almost  two  years.  Since  then  she's  gotten  married  and  is expecting  a  baby.  She  and  her  husband  are  planning  to  move  to  Japan  to  do  who  knows  what.  It  was  nice  to  see  her  after  all  these  years  and  we discussed  some  things  that  we've  never  talked  about  before.  I  wished  her  good  luck  after  the  dinner  and  told  her  to  save  me  a  room  if  I  ever  come  to  visit  in  Japan.  I'm  happy  that  she's  starting  a  family  and  moving  on  to  the  next  chapter  in  her  life.&lt;br /&gt;As  time  goes  by,  I'm  starting  to  think  more  and  more  about  settling  down  with  the  right  person  myself  and  maybe  moving  to  another  city  to  start  a  family.  The  problem  is  I  haven't  found  the  right  woman  yet.  There  are  two  women  that  are  on  my  mind  right  now.  One  of  them,  if  you've  read  my  recent  blog  entries,  is  the  woman  I've  been  thinking  about  since  Last  November. The  other  woman  is  a  fellow  colleague  who  I'm  starting  to  notice  after  getting  to  know  her  better  while  hanging  out  after  work.  She's  beautiful  and  I  could  picture  myself  in  a  relationship  with  her,  but  I have  to  remain  professional  and  not  pursue  her............for  now.  Hopefully  we  can  become  close  friends  and  something  may  happen  in  future  between  us.&lt;br /&gt;Right  about  now  I'm  getting  tired  just  writing  this.  I think  I'm  going  to  head  back  to  bed  to  lay  down  and  watch  some  TV.  The  Lost  series  finale  is  tonight  and  I  can't  miss  that.  Later.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-409484588785754991?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/409484588785754991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=409484588785754991' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/409484588785754991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/409484588785754991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/05/tired-man-walking.html' title='Tired  Man  Walking'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S_mvqUbP_bI/AAAAAAAAAiA/WQOY1xGzYfc/s72-c/TIRED+MAN.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-3568964431674313934</id><published>2010-04-11T13:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-11T14:35:32.214-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='think'/><title type='text'>Busy  as  a  Bee</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S8I-HjYN9nI/AAAAAAAAAh4/W62gxUZbjYQ/s1600/honey-bee.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 250px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S8I-HjYN9nI/AAAAAAAAAh4/W62gxUZbjYQ/s320/honey-bee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458993997803288178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  last  couple  of  weeks  I've  been  working  at  a  security  products  company  that  specializes  in  surveillance  systems, GPS  trackers,  and  hidden  cameras.  Unlike  my  past  few  jobs,  this  position  I'm  in  right now doesn't  require  me  to  cold-call strangers and  make  outbound  sales  calls  to  customers.  Instead,  I  receive  inbound  calls  from customers  (especially from  husbands  and wives  looking  to purchase  devices  to  spy  on  their  partners)  and  take  their  orders,  answer  their  questions  about  any  security  product  on  the  website,  and  answer  inquiries  via  e-mail.  This  position  can  be  slow  and  dull  at  times,  but  it's  much  better  than any  other  position I've had  at  other  sales  jobs.  To  me,  it's  more  customer  service  than  sales.  And  the  job  pays  a  fair  amount  of  money.  That's  a  plus  because  I  need  money  to  support  my  career  in  writing  and  comedy.&lt;br /&gt;The  company  is  located  in  Midtown  Manhattan  and  is  near  many  of  my  favorite  clubs  and  hangout  spots  in  Manhattan.  So  If  I  ever  want  to  stop  by  Rick's  Cabaret  for  example,  I  can  just  walk  there.  The  work  schedule  is  M-F  9am-6pm,  although  there  will  be  times  when  I  will  have  to  work  from  11am-8pm  for  a week.  This  work  schedule  has  kept  me  very  busy  and  I've  had  very  little  time  to  write  and  work  on  some  other  stuff.  But  if  there's  a  will, there's  a  way.  I'm  going  to  make  more  time  for  myself  by  writing  on  my  lunch  breaks,  doing  Open  Mics  at  least  once  a  week  after  work,  and timer recording   my  favorite  TV  shows  that  I  miss.  I'm  not  going  to  quit  this  job  just  because  it's  interfering  with  my  personal schedule.   I  like  the  company  and  the  people  who  work  there.  The  managers  and  supervisors  are  very  cool  people.  They  took  myself  and  another  new  employee  out  to  lunch  for  sushi  two  weeks  ago.  It  was  my  first  time eating  sushi  and  I  must  admit  it  wasn't  that  bad.  I  think  I'm  a  fan of  raw  fish  now.  Anyway, just  this  past  week,  the  marketing  team  arranged  a  field  trip  for  the  company.  All  employees  left  work  early  together  and  headed  over  to  this  bar and billiards place  called  Slate.  We  played  pool,  ping  pong,  and  Foosball.  Everyone  also  ate  and  got  to  know  some  of  the employees  working  at  the  company.  It  was  fun,  and  that  experience  makes  me  want  to  stay with  this  company  for  a  long,  long  time.  But  then  again,  I'm  going  to  apply  for  the  NBC  entertainment  associate  position  later  this  year.  If  I  get  that  position,  I  just  may  have  to  leave  this  current  job.  There's  no  way  I'll  pass  up  the  opportunity  to be  in  the  entertainment  industry.  We  shall  wait  and  see.&lt;br /&gt;By  the way,  the  girls  in  NYC  are  looking  hot,  hot,  hot.  It's  Springtime  and  the  weather  is  getting  warmer.  Girls  are  walking  around  in  tank  tops  and  short  skirts  or  short  shorts.  Big  boobies,  apple  bottoms,  sexy  legs,  and  well  decorated  feet  are  everywhere  I  go  in  the  streets  of  New  York  City.  I  love  it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-3568964431674313934?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/3568964431674313934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=3568964431674313934' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3568964431674313934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3568964431674313934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/04/busy-as-bee.html' title='Busy  as  a  Bee'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S8I-HjYN9nI/AAAAAAAAAh4/W62gxUZbjYQ/s72-c/honey-bee.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-4329050676558191378</id><published>2010-03-25T22:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-26T00:59:24.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>March  Madness!</title><content type='html'>March  Madness  is  in  full  effect.  While  most  guys  were  at  home  or  at  a  bar  watching  the  NCAA  tournament  on  Saturday,  I  was  at  strip  club,  where  I  watched  my  own  March  Madness.  The  real  March  Madness  includes  buzzer  beaters  and  overtime  games.  My  March  Madness  included  big  boobs  and  overtime  lap  dances.  It  was  a  Saturday  to  remember.  The  day  started  out  with  me  and  my  perverted  friend  meeting  up  and  going  to  the  Sex  Museum.  We  had  a  great  time  there  the  last  time  we  went.  This  time  was  even  better.  They  renovated  the  whole  museum.  As  soon  as  we  came  in,  we  had  to  walk  through  the  museum  store  to  get  to  the  ticket  admissions  desk  to  purchase  our  tickets.  Once  we  were  inside  the  museum,  we  saw  Exhibits  on  condoms,  fetishists,  sex  toys,  and  porn  films.  We  even  saw  some  hot  female  visitors  there.  I  kept  staring  at  this  hot  brunette  with  brown  boots  throughout  my  journey  around  the  museum.  She  kept  reappearing  at  almost  every  exhibit  I  was  near.  I  wanted  to  say  something  to  her,  but  I  felt  very  awkward  with  all  these  other  perverts  around.  Anyway,  after  almost  two  hours  of  touring  the  museum,  me  and  my  friend  decided  to  leave  and  head  over  to  Rick's  Cabaret,  which  was  just  several  blocks  away  and  allows  free  entry  before  7 pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rick's  Cabaret  is  supposedly  the  biggest  strip  club  (in  size)  in  NYC.  Me  and  my  friend  decided  to  betray  our  favorite  strip  club, Flashdancers,  for  this  one  time  and  see  what  Rick's  Cabaret  is  all  about.  The  time  we  spent  at  Rick's  was  fun,  relaxing,  and  worthwhile.  Compared  to  Flashdancers,  the  strippers  and  the  lap  dances  aren't  anything  to  brag  about.  But  I  must  say,  the  exotic  dancers  didn't  hassle  me  for  lap  dances  and  I  had  the  chance  to  have  a  lengthy  conversation  with  some  of  the  girls.  The  club  wasn't  crowded,  probably  because  we  arrived  early.  And  it's  a  nice  big  place  to  sit  back  and  watch  TV  or  the  girls  dancing  around  the  pole  on  one  of  the  three  stages.  The  hottest  girl  there  was  this  fine  Hispanic  chick  who  gave  me  a  lap  dance  just  before  I  left.  She  was  also  one  of  the  girls  who  gave  my  friend  a  double  lap  dance.  The  craziest  girl  there  was  this  blonde  chick  who  was  really  into  my  penis.  I  got  a  few  lap  dances  from  her,  and  she  was  touching  my  penis  through  my  pants  like  it  was  a  Genie  in  a  bottle;  trying  to  make  it  come  out.  She  kind  of  looked  like  an  exotic  Avril  Lavigne.  If  I  had  more  money,  I  would've  took  her  offer  to  go  to  the  VIP  room.  Maybe  next  time.  The  nicest  girl  there  was  this  black  stripper  who  I  recognized  from  Flashdancers.  I  guess  she  left  FD because  they  were  treating  her  bad.  She  seems  like  a  shy,  intelligent  girl.  I  appreciated  the  fact  that  she  spent  some  time  at  our  table  talking  to  us.  Also,  there  was  this  other  stripper  who  looked  like  R&amp;amp;B  singer  Mya.  She was  the  sweetest  (no  pun  intended)  dancer  there.  She  told  me  I  had  a  nice  smile.  I  wanted  to  tell  her  she  had  nice  tits.  But  I  didn't.  Overall,  I  had  a  good  experience  at  Rick's  Cabaret.  I  think  I'll  go  back  there  very  soon.  But  not  before  I  go  back  to  Flashdancers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After  Rick's,  me  and  my  horny  friend  were  really  hungry  after  seeing  all  those  breasts  and  buttocks.  We  wanted  to  get  our  mouths  and  hands  on  some  meat.  And  what  better  place  for  eating  and  looking  at  meat  than  Hooters.  Hooters  has  been  around  forever.  I've  always  wanted  to  go  there  ever  since  I  was  in  Kindergarten.  Twenty  years  later,  I  finally  got  my  chance.  As  soon  as  we  stepped  into  Hooters,  there  were  young  hot  waitresses  in  white  tank  tops  and  short  orange  runner  shorts  everywhere.  For  a  minute there,  I  thought  I  was  back  at Rick's  Cabaret.  It  was  until  I  saw  all  the  chicken  wings,  that's  when  I  realized  I  was  in  the  legendary  Hooters  restaurant.  The  waitress  for  our  table,  her  name  was  Becca,  was  very  pretty.  She  told  us  she's  from  Philadelphia  and  roots  for  the  Phillies.  She  seemed  so  energetic,  vibrant,  and  into  me.  I  caught  her  a  couple  of  times  eyeing  me  from  a  distance  and then  looking  her  away.  I  was  more  into  her  than  the  spicy  boneless  chicken  I  ordered.  My  friend  kept  talking  about  this  other  Hooters  girl  who  was  running  around  the  place.  Every time  she  ran  down the  stairs,  her  hair  blew  in  the  hair  like  Wonder  Woman.  Amazing!  I  wish  I  could've  got  Becca's  number  before  I  left,  but  my  upset  stomach  from  that  spicy  chicken  and  House  margarita  prevented  me  from  doing  so.  All  I  could  do  was  wave  goodbye  to  her  and  hurry  home  to  take  a  dump.  It  was  definitely  a  Saturday  to  remember.  Me  and  my  friend  proved  once  again  that  we  are  perverts  for  life,  at  least  I  am.  Until  next  time....................................................&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-4329050676558191378?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/4329050676558191378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=4329050676558191378' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4329050676558191378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4329050676558191378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/03/perverted-weekend.html' title='March  Madness!'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-935382286888376238</id><published>2010-02-13T13:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T13:49:03.971-08:00</updated><title type='text'>To  all  the  ladies.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S3cccoXIvyI/AAAAAAAAAgk/AgoZd1gXpt0/s1600-h/valentines-day-gifts-for-boyfriend.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 351px; height: 351px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/S3cccoXIvyI/AAAAAAAAAgk/AgoZd1gXpt0/s400/valentines-day-gifts-for-boyfriend.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437846353269538594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Happy  Valentine's  Day!

The  only  fun  I've  had  was  attending  a  banquet  at  an  Italian  restaurant  last  Saturday  with  my  friend.  There  was  this  beautiful  server  there  who  kept  eyeing  me.  I  was  going  to  tell  her  she's  beautiful,  but  I  never  got  the  chance.  Instead,  I  left  a  note  under  my  plate  on  the  table  before  I  left.  I  don't  even  know  if  she  found  it.  And  I  think  she  might  be  married  because   she  had  a  ring  on  her  finger.  That  night  was  great,  but  I've  been feeling  down  since  then.  At  this  point  in  my  life,  I  feel  confused.  I'm  still  trying  to  find  myself  and  figure  out  my  purpose  in  this  world.  Here's  a  poem  that  I  wrote  that  sums  up  my  feelings  right  now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lost  Soul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling  empty  inside,&lt;br /&gt;with  no  one  to  turn  to.&lt;br /&gt;Trying  to  figure  out   my  place  in  this  world.&lt;br /&gt;Confused,  Depressed,  Exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;Unable  to  think  or  focus  on  anything  important.&lt;br /&gt;Just  want  to  remain  in  solitude,&lt;br /&gt;with  silence  and  darkness.&lt;br /&gt;No  light  in  sight,&lt;br /&gt;No  spirit  to  fight&lt;br /&gt;the  feeling  of  a  soul  screaming&lt;br /&gt;for  help,  help,  Help!&lt;br /&gt;Happiness  is  overrated,&lt;br /&gt;Love  is  simply  hated.&lt;br /&gt;No  concern  for  anyone,&lt;br /&gt;Not  even  for  that  only  one.&lt;br /&gt;Want  it  all  to  end.&lt;br /&gt;To  never  endure  this  pain  again.&lt;br /&gt;Lost  hope,&lt;br /&gt;Lost  whole,&lt;br /&gt;Lost  soul.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-4065549251065523751?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/4065549251065523751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=4065549251065523751' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4065549251065523751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/4065549251065523751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2010/01/down-but-not-out.html' title='Down,  but  not  Out'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-5659096088327494176</id><published>2010-01-01T21:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T21:14:51.250-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My  2010  New  Year's  Resolutions</title><content type='html'>2010  is  finally  here!

My  Holiday  weekend  started  off  good,  but  ended  very  bad.  On  Christmas  Day,  which  was  Friday,  I  opened  the  Christmas  gifts  I  bought  for  myself.  They  included  a  few  dvds  and  a  book.  I  then  spent  most  of  the  day  in  bed  watching  Christmas  movies - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A  Christmas  Story&lt;/span&gt;  and  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;It's  A  Wonderful  Life&lt;/span&gt;.  And  I  enjoyed  eating  some  outstanding  food  cooked  by  my  dad.  To  top  it  off,   I  drank  a  glass  of  wine  that  had  my  head  spinning  until  the  next  day.  Christmas  Day  turned  out  to  be  a  great  day!  The  next  day,  Saturday,  I  didn't  do  very  much.  I  had  plans  to  meet  up  with  my  best  friend  but  Mother  Nature  screwed  me  over  again.  The  weather  was  horrible  outside  so  I  had  to  stay  indoors  and  watch  TV  and  surf  the  internet.  So  boring!  The  next  day,  which  was  today,  I  spent  part  of  the  day  watching  football.  I  watched  in  disgust  as  my  New  York  Giants  got  blown  out  by  the  Carolina  Panthers  in  their  final  home  game  at  Giants  Stadium.  Then  I  watched  the  Jet  game  while  hosting  an  internet  sports  radio  show  with  my  friend.  Unlike the  Giants,  the  Jets  played  with  heart  and  they  stopped  the  Indianapolis  Colts  from  going  undefeated  this  season.  The Jets  now  look  like  they're  going  to  the  playoffs. Congratulations  to  them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today  I  planned  to  finally  call  the  girl of my  dreams  on  the  phone.  She's  the  girl  that  I  met  at  the  Junior  high school reunion.  Over  the  past  few  weeks,  I've  sent  her  some  flirty  text  messages  which  I  thought  would  flatter  her  and  even  get  her  to  think  about  me.  She  replied  to  some  of  the  texts  but  I  just  couldn't  tell  if  she  liked  me  or  not.  I  really  liked  her.  I've  been having  dreams  about  her  and I  just  couldn't  get  her  out  of  my  mind.  So,  with  all  the  confidence  in  the  world,  I  decided  to  call  her  tonight  to  ask  her  out.  It  was  nerve-racking  but  I  finally  dialed  her  number.  When  she  picked  up  the  phone  she  sounded  pissed  off.  After  I  told  her  it  was  Maccorley  she  hung  up  on  me.  I  couldn't  believe  it.  I  spent  weeks  trying  to  seduce  this  girl  and  she  hangs  up  on  me  angrily.  I  waited  a  few  minutes  and  started  writing  a  text to  her  to  apologize  for  whatever I  said  that  may  have  caused  her  to  hang  up  on  me.  Then  out  of  the  blue,  she  calls  me  back  and  I  accidentally  hang  up  on  her.  I  called  her  back  and  this  time  she  sounded  calm  and  in  a  better mood to talk.  She  then  informed  me  that  she  has  a  boyfriend  and  he  is  upset  over  my  text  messages.  WTF?  All  this  time  this  girl  was  leading  me  on.  She  could've  told  me  she  had  a  boyfriend.  I  would've  never  sent  her  those  texts  if  I  knew  she  had  a  boyfriend.  I  even  told  her  this.  I  then  apologized  to  her  and  told  her  I  would  stop  sending  her  text  messages.  We  then  agreed  that  we  would  just  remain  friends.  Then  I  said  goodnight  to  her  and  hung  up.  My  heart  felt  like  it  had  been  run  over  by  a  tow  truck  when  I  finished  talking  to  her.  The  past  few  weeks  I  couldn't even  focus  on  my  work  without  thinking  about  her.  I  kept  visualizing  that  someday  I  would  be  her  boyfriend, but  that's  impossible  now  because  she  already  has  one.  I  don't  understand  women  at  all.  Why  lead  a  guy  on  if  you're  already  dating  someone  or  not  interested  in  that  guy?  Why?  I'm  mad  at  all  women  right  now.  I'm  very  depressed  after  hearing  this  bad  news.  I  feel empty  inside  and  it's  going  to  take  awhile  to  regain  my  soul.  Happy  holidays  to  everyone  but  me!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-582166646712048240?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/582166646712048240/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=582166646712048240' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/582166646712048240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/582166646712048240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/12/tis-season-not-to-be-jolly.html' title='&apos;Tis  the  season  not  to  be  jolly'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SzhTXbX38mI/AAAAAAAAAgM/2QPPK1Tl19w/s72-c/sad+smiley.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-247538403808929288</id><published>2009-11-23T20:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T22:30:22.919-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thankful  for  last  week</title><content type='html'>Last  week  was  one  of  the  greatest  weeks  I've  ever  had.  It  all  started  on  Monday  when  I  went  to  my  first  professional  wrestling  event.  I've  been  a  wrestling  fan  for  over  fifteen  years  but  I  had  never  seen  a  wrestling  match  or  event  in  person.  Last  Monday  I  got  the  chance  to  attend  WWE  Monday  Night  Raw  at  Madison  Square  Garden  with  my  younger  brother,  who's  also  a wrestling  fan.  When  we  got  there  the  building  was  packed with  wrestling  fans.  The  line  extended  outside  of  the  building.  It  was  like  fans  were  waiting  to  see  a  rock  concert.  After  about  45  mintues  or  so,  me  and  my  brother  were  finally  released  from  that  long  line  after  we  got  our  tickets  scanned.  We  proceeded  upstairs  to  the  food  court  to  buy  some  snacks.  We  both  bought  some  popcorn,  hot  dogs,  and  a  soda.  Then  we  rushed  to  our  seats  because  we  could  hear  the  show  starting,  even  though  it was  only  8:45pm  and  the  show  was  supposed  to  start  at  9pm.  But  when  we  got  to  our  seats  we  realized  that  they  were  taping  another  show  (Smackdown!),  and  Raw  was  indeed  going  to  start  at  9pm.  We  sat  there  for  the  next  two  hours  watching  our  favorite  wrestling  superstars  like  Triple  H,  Shawn  Michaels,  and  John  Cena  battle  each  other  in  the  ring.  It  was  surreal!  The  crowd  was  really  into it  and  were  cheering  like  it  was  a  New  Year's  Eve  celebration.  It  was  an  exciting  show,  but  the  one  bad  part  for me  was  this  annoying  little  kid  sitting  next  to  me.  This  little  kid  wouldn't  shut  up  and  kept  talking  to  me  like  I  was  one  of  his  little  buddies.  I  ignored  him  and  just  ate  my  popcorn.  After  the  show,  me  and  my  brother  went   to  the  back  of  the  building  of  MSG.  We  saw  a  crowd  standing  near  the  media/employee  exit  where  the  wrestlers  were  going  to  come  out.  We  decided  to  stand  in  the  crowd  also  and  wait  to  see  which  wrestlers  would  come  out  to  their  limos.  We  saw  Cody  Rhodes,  Kofi  Kingston,  MVP,  Bella  Twins,  and  John  Cena  come  out.  Most  of  them  were  nice  enough  to  stop  and  sign  some  autographs for the fans waiting in the cold.  We  went  home  after  we  saw  John  Cena,  who  didn't  sign  any  autographs  and  rushed  to  his  limo.  His  catch phrase  is:  You  can't  see  me!  Well,  we  couldn't  see  him  because  he  ran  to his  limo.  I  enjoyed WWE  Raw  and  it  was  a  special  moment  for  me  and  my  brother.&lt;br /&gt;Friday  night  was  another  special  night  for  me.  I  received  an  invitation  on  Facebook  to  attend  a  junior  high  school  reunion.  At  first,  I  didn't  know  if  I  was  going  to  go  to  the  reunion  because  I  didn't  feel  like  meeting  people  who  I  haven't  seen  in  over  a  decade.  But  I  decided  the  day  before  to  attend  because  I  had  fun  in  junior  high  school.  And  there  were  many  people  that  I  did  want  to  see  after  all  these  years.  So,  I  left  my  house  at  about  10:15pm  to  go  to  the  reunion  which  started  at  11pm.  I  had  to  take  two  trains  to  the  location.  When  I  walked  out  of  the  train  station  I  was  just  a  few  blocks  away  from  the  bar/lounge  where  the  reunion  was  being  held.  I  was  so  nervous,  it  felt  like  my  heart  was going to burst  out  of  my  chest.  I  had  to  walk  around  the  block  for  a while  to  calm  myself  down.  I  finally  decided  to  head  over  to  the  bar/lounge  even though  I  still  had  butterflies  in  my  stomach.  When  I  got  there,  there  were  three  people  waiting  outside.  One  of  them  I  recognized  right  away.  He  was  one  of  my  close  friends  in  junior  high  and  a  friend  on  my  facebook  and  myspace  profiles.  He  introduced  me  to  his  girlfriend  who  also  went  to  our  junior  high  school,  but  I  only  recognized  her from  facebook.  There  was  this  other  guy  who's  face I  remember  but  I  didn't  know  his  name.  I  greeted  him  anyway.  He  was  nice  enough to  buy  me  a  drink  when  we  went  inside.  After  getting  our  coats  checked  and  wrists  banded,  we  went  to  the  basement  where the  reunion  was.  I  thought  the  reunion  was  going  to  be  a  private  area  where  all  of  us  would  reflect  and  reminisce  about  the good ol' junior  high  days,  but  this  wasn't  the  case.  We  were  sharing  space  with  many  other  people  who  came  to  dance  and  party.  I  was  a little  disappointed  by  this  at  first,  but it  really  didn't  matter  to  me  after  I  saw  some  good  looking  girls  there.  As  the  night  went  on,  I  saw  many  friends,  classmates,  and  nameless  people  who  went  to  our junior  high.  Some  remembered  me  and  some  didn't.  The  person  who  organized  this  reunion  and  a  close  friend  of  mine,  finally  showed  up  an  hour  late.  I  didn't  know  where  the  hell  she  was and  I  didn't  care  because  I  was  getting  drunk.  I  drank  just  two  glasses  of  vodka  and  cranberry, but  I  felt  like  I  was  going  to  faint.  I  was  dizzy  and  out  of  it.  I  had  to  stand  in  the  corner  for  over  a  half-an-hour  to  get  myself  together.  When  I  regained  my  balance,  I  saw  this  beautiful  girl  who  I  didn't recognize  at  first.  But  then  I  looked  closely and  I  remembered  her  from  my  seventh  grade  class.  She  looked  totally  different now than  she  did  thirteen  years  ago.  She  looked  like  a  model  now.  I  said  "hi"  to  her  and  told  her  my  name  so  she  could  remember  me  being  one  of  her  clasmates.  Surprisingly  she  did  remember  me.  Yes!!!  After  sobering  up,  I  danced  with  her  a bit  and  she  put  some  moves  on  me  that  should  only  be  allowed  in  the  bedroom.  Her  hotness  and  sexy  dancing  was  hypnotizing  me.  I  was  falling  in  love  with  her  on  the  dance  floor.  She  and  I  exchanged  phone  numbers  and  I  texted  her a  couple of  times  when  she  was  in  the  bathroom.  I  just  wanted  to  be  near  her.  She  was  so  damn  hot!  I  thought  maybe  she  was  interested  in  me,  but when  we  left  the  reunion and  went  to  a  pizzeria close by  with  a  couple  of  former  schoolmates - she  wouldn't  even  make  eye  contact  with  me.  That's  just  my  luck.  Later,  me,  her,  and  another  female  schoolmate  drove  home  in  the  same  car.  The  schoolmate  was  driving........drunk.  I  put  on  my  seat  belt  just  in  case  these  girls  got  in  a  car  accident.  On  the  way  home  they  were  talking  loudly  in  car.  I  was  too  tired  and  lightheaded  to  talk, so  I  pretended  like  I  was  sleeping. I  didn't  have  the  chance  to  say  goodbye  to  the  hot  classmate,  but  I  could  always  call  her  since  I  had  her  number.  Then  the  drunk  schoolmate  dropped  me  off  at  my  house  and  I  kissed  her  goodnight, or should I say good morning.  I  got  home  at  4:30  in  the  morning  and  woke  up  later  at  9:30  in  the  morning.  My  ears  were  ringing  and  clogged  up  from  the  loud  music  at  the reunion.  It  took  my  ears  several  days  to  recover.  Next  time  I'm  wearing  ear  plugs  to  the  club.  It  took  me two  days  to  send  the  hot  classmate  a  text  message.  I  told  her  it  was  nice  to  see  her  and  I  hope  she  stays  in  touch.  I  still  haven't  received  a  reply  from  her.  Oh  well!  At  least  I  got  to  see  her  and  everyone  else  who  attended  my  junior  high  after  all  these  years.&lt;br /&gt;On  Saturday,  I  hosted  the  second  episode  of  my  internet  radio  show/podcast.  It  was  a  good  show.  I  recounted  my  experience  at  Raw  and  the  reunion.  I  also  talked  about  Scientology  and  celebrity  news.  The  show  will  continue  to  get  better  as  I  come  up  with  some  new  bits.  In the  meantime,  I'm  looking  forward  to  Thanksgiving  on  Thursday  and taking  a  bite  of  that  turkey.  I  hope  everyone  has  a  Happy  Thanksgiving!  I will  never  forget  the best  week  ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Swt4RuG6UcI/AAAAAAAAAeM/xYWN_k8NWf8/s1600/turkey-dinner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Swt4RuG6UcI/AAAAAAAAAeM/xYWN_k8NWf8/s320/turkey-dinner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407548023418540482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-247538403808929288?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/247538403808929288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=247538403808929288' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/247538403808929288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/247538403808929288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/11/thankful-for-last-week.html' title='Thankful  for  last  week'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Swt4RuG6UcI/AAAAAAAAAeM/xYWN_k8NWf8/s72-c/turkey-dinner.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-2543470442399563662</id><published>2009-11-13T23:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T23:55:24.676-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Blog  Talk  Radio  Show</title><content type='html'>I  will  now  be  hosting  an  internet  radio  show/podcast  based  on  this  blog  every  Saturday  night  at  11pm.  The  show  will  be  called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; I'm  Mac&lt;/span&gt;,  just  like  this  blog,  and  will  feature  comedy,  social  commentary,  and  my  rants  on  anything  that  I   find  annoying in  the  world  or  in  my  life. The  show  will  be  one  hour  and  I  will  have  my  best  friend  Will  playing  the  role  as  sidekick.  I'm  very  excited  about  this  show.  I  haven't  done  a  radio  show  since  college,  so  I'm  going  to  be  a little  rusty.  But  I  have  some  great  ideas  that  will  make  the  show  fun  and  entertaining.  So,  listen  to  the  show   this  Saturday  night  and  call  in  if  you  like.  The  call-in  number  is  on  my  show  page   at -  &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/maccorley"&gt;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/maccorley&lt;/a&gt;                                                       &lt;br /&gt;I'm  looking  forward  to  Saturday  night.

It  was  my  birthday  weekend  and  I  celebrated  it  with  my  best  friend  who  I've  known  since  college.  On  Friday,  I  turned  26.  It's  hard  to  believe  that  I'm  26  years  old  especially since  I  look  like  I'm  16.  I  couldn't  wait to open  the  presents  that  I  got  myself.  One  of  the  presents  was  an  old  Adam  Sandler  comedy CD  entitled - &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Adam  Sandler: They're  All  Gonna  Laugh  at  You!&lt;/span&gt;  Another  present  was  a  Jeffrey  Ross  book – &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jeffrey  Ross:  I  Only  Roast  the  Ones  I  Love.&lt;/span&gt;  I  haven't  read  the  Jeffrey  Ross  book  yet,  but  I  listened  to  the  Adam  Sandler CD  and  it  was  as  funny  as  his  movies.  Later,  I  ate  some  delicious  ice  creak cake that  I  bought  from  Baskin-Robbins.  Baskin-Robbins  makes  the  best  ice  cream  cakes  hands  down!  I  spent  my  Friday  night  watching  TV.  It  wasn't  an  exciting  birthday,  but  the  best  is  yet  to  come.  On  Saturday,  me  and  my  friend  decided  to  spend  the  whole  day  in  Times  Square.  First,  we  went  to  Madame  Tussaud's  wax  museum  where  we  saw  wax  figures  from  Oprah  to  Fidel  Castro.  The  figures  were  surreal.  I  wanted  to  take  the  Paris  Hilton  wax  figure  home  with  me  and  make  a  home  video.  If  you  know  what  I  mean.  There  was  a  horror  exhibit  that  we  passed  through  where  real  people  would  come  out  of  the  dark  and  scare  the  visitors.  I  wasn't  really  scared,  although  I  was  holding  on  to  my  friend  for  safety  and  comfort.  Just  kidding!  We  also  saw  a  4-D  show  with  SpongeBob  SquarePants.  I'm  not  a  fan  of  SpongeBob,  but  the show  was  fun.  I  regret  all  the  negative  things  I've  said  about  SpongeBob  in  the  past.  Not!  After  touring  the  whole  museum,  me  and  my  friend  went  to  eat  at  Virgil's  BBQ  on  44th  street.  The  restaurant  looked  like  a  restaurant  from  the  50's.  And  the  vibe  there  felt  like  I  was  in  the  South.  The  food  was  delicious.  I  ate  some  fried  shrimp,  two  grilled  hotdogs  and  French  fries.  My  friend  ordered  some  riblets  but  he  didn't  eat  them  all  because  he  was rushing  to  go  the  strip  club,  where  we  were  headed  to next.  After  the  meal,  we  headed  over  to  our  favorite  strip  club – Flashdancers.  We  tried  to  rush  over  there  before  8pm  to  avoid  paying  the  $20  cover  fee,  but  we  arrived  five  minutes  late.  Oh  well!  As  usual,  there  were  pretty  girls  at  Flashdancers.  There  was  this  short  blonde  German  chick  that  I  wanted  to  marry.  She  gave  me  the  best  lap dance  of  the  night.  Or  should  I  say,  the  best  lap dances  of  the  night.  I  spent  a lot  of  money  on  lap  dances,  but  I  didn't  care  because  it  was  my  birthday  weekend.  My  friend  had  me  give  him  back  $40  which  he  owed  me.  He  took  that  $40  back  and  got  a  couple  more  lap  dances.  Perverted bastard! We  stayed  there  for over two  hours  and  left  after  10pm  to  go  home.  I  got  home  just  in  time  for  SNL  and  I  ate  some  leftover  ice  cream  cake  from  the  day  before.  I  went  to  sleep  that  night  feeling  like  I  was  King  of  the  Hill.  On  Sunday,  I  spent  most  of  the  day  in  bed  watching  sports.  I  was  too  exhausted  from  the  day  before  to  even  try  to  get  up to do anything.  I  watched  some  football,  basketball,  and  baseball.  Later  that  night,  I  watched   &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The  Eye&lt;/span&gt;  featuring  Jessica  Alba  and  my  one of my favorite  shows -  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Californication&lt;/span&gt;  on  Showtime.  Overall,  this  past  weekend  was  the  best  weekend  I  ever  had.  There's  nothing  better  than  cake,  bbq,  celebrities,  topless women,  football,  and  sleep  on  a  weekend.  Especially  on  your  birthday  weekend.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-7915121603172650722?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/7915121603172650722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=7915121603172650722' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7915121603172650722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/7915121603172650722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/10/birthday-weekend.html' title='Birthday  Weekend'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SsrgAJ7YpcI/AAAAAAAAAds/TfORX_H2hDE/s72-c/birthday-cake-8.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-2057595134454753596</id><published>2009-09-22T12:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T13:42:22.460-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What  is  Art?

I  didn't  know  what  art  was  or  why  I  was  talented  at  it.  I  just  loved  it  and  drew  cartoons  like  crazy.  I  loved  to  draw  when  I  was  little.  I  would  spend  hours  creating  my  own  cartoon  characters  after  I  finished  watching  weekday  afternoon  cartoons.  Several  weeks  ago,  it  was  announced  that  Disney  purchased  Marvel  Comics.  Disney  and  Marvel  were  a  major  influence  on  me  back  then.  Their  animation series  and  cartoon  characters  inspired  me  to  create  and  draw  cartoons.  I  recently  went  into  my  closet  and  looked  through  my  old  drawing  books.  I  was  amazed  at  how  great  of  an  artist  I  was.  I  stopped  drawing  after  high  school,  but  I  am  going  to  start  drawing  again  very  soon.  In  the  meantime,  I  would  like  to  share  some  of  my  drawings  from  my  childhood  with  you  guys.  Here  they  are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkyhW9aBdI/AAAAAAAAAdM/4owmVHWpUv4/s1600-h/Scan0002.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkyhW9aBdI/AAAAAAAAAdM/4owmVHWpUv4/s200/Scan0002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384390378178348498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkzJwkNXLI/AAAAAAAAAdU/WFjIkp72UgQ/s1600-h/Scan0003.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkzJwkNXLI/AAAAAAAAAdU/WFjIkp72UgQ/s200/Scan0003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384391072246750386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkzmzAU9hI/AAAAAAAAAdc/71mEl0KoQgk/s1600-h/Scan0004.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SrkzmzAU9hI/AAAAAAAAAdc/71mEl0KoQgk/s200/Scan0004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384391571117766162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Click  on  the images  to  view  them  in  their  actual  size&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-2057595134454753596?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/2057595134454753596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=2057595134454753596' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/2057595134454753596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/2057595134454753596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-is-art-is-art-art.html' title='What  is  Art?

I'm currently unemployed, again. I left the appointment setter job at the water company in late June because of low pay and boredom. Then right after that, I went to work for another water company doing the same job but for $2 more an hour. That job was as boring as the last one. I was let go my second week there after not setting enough appointments. Since then I've been at home watching TV and reading and writing. I've read books like &lt;em&gt;The 48 Laws of Power&lt;/em&gt; by Robert Greene for inspiration and to boost my self-esteem. I've written a couple of sketches for the sketch group I'm still involved with. The last couple of weeks I haven't been writing or reading that much because I've been experiencing some fatigue and tiredness. I suspect my iron levels are low or I'm suffering from lack of water intake. So I've started exercising and I'm drinking at least 5 glasses of water a day to combat whatever it is that's making me tired and sleepy. So far it's been working. My energy levels are back up, but I do feel a little sleepy at times during the day. I'm going to buy an iron supplement just in case my iron levels are low. I plan on writing more after today. I have a lot of ideas floating in my head right now. I just need to write them down on paper. This vacation has been good so far. It's allowed me to catch some sleep that I missed when I was working. I haven't been outdoors that much. It's too hot and humid. I'd rather sit in my house by the air conditioner reading a book or watching ESPN. Another good thing about this Summer is my Yankees are in first place. Hopefully we can fight off the Red Sox for the AL East title and go far in the playoffs. I plan on going to a Yankee game in September and seeing the new stadium. Meanwhile, I'll be at home watching and resting in my bed.

I've been too busy working, reading, and writing articles for Starpulse.com. You can read all of my Starpulse articles by clicking &lt;a href="http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php?s=Maccorley+Mathieu&amp;amp;sentence=sentence&amp;amp;submit=Search"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I've been very tired lately. Haven't been getting 8 hours a sleep every night. Maybe 4 or 5 hours. This is because I've been looking for other jobs at night on Craigslist and entertainment websites. I am not happy with my current job because I'm getting paid an hourly wage close to minimum wage. And it feels like I'm cold calling the same companies everyday. So I've decided that this will be my last month working there and I am looking at some other jobs in sales or customer service. I have been also looking at some comedy writing jobs. Last month I applied for a writer/research assistant position on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Unfortunately, I was notified by e-mail that the position had been filled. I was never even called in to be interviewed. Son of a bitches! I'm optimistic that I'll find a comedy writing position in the entertainment industry in the future. But for now, I'm a damn telemarketer. I hate that word &lt;strong&gt;telemarketer&lt;/strong&gt;. It makes me want to vomit in my mouth. I prefer Inside Sales Representative or Account executive.&lt;br /&gt;The only exciting thing that has been going on in my life is sex. In the past few months I've engaged in sexual activity with strippers and escorts. I've had a great time with these ladies. They've made me happy after a long day of work and they've satisfied my big friend in my pants. I'd like to salute those strippers and escorts that I've seen in the last few months and congratulate them for making men all over New York City climax. Thank you sex workers. I think I'm going to go to bed now and watch some TV. I'll be back on here maybe in the next week or so. Goodnight!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-6771491027410025191?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/6771491027410025191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=6771491027410025191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6771491027410025191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6771491027410025191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/06/dear-diary.html' title='Dear  Diary,'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-6861111364486897183</id><published>2009-03-28T21:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-28T22:51:50.465-07:00</updated><title type='text'>About  Last  Saturday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Sc8HTxqYOFI/AAAAAAAAAbM/vNUPEWK2G-4/s1600-h/browngirlleft.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Sc8HTxqYOFI/AAAAAAAAAbM/vNUPEWK2G-4/s320/browngirlleft.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318477721277839442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Today  is  the  last  Saturday  of  March.  I  spent  most  of  the  day  shopping  and  sleeping.  I  bought  a  new  book bag,  business  casual  shirts  and  pants,  and  dress  shoes.  I  also  bought  a  couple  of  caps.  I  wanted  to  buy  a  Yankee  cap,  but  all  the  store  had  was  those  flat  caps  that  I'm  not  a  big  fan  of.  I  don't  want  to  wear  a  cap  that's  twice  the  size  of  my  head.  Anyway,  I  returned  home  after  shopping.  I  ate  some  Chinese  food  and  then  took  a  nap.  I  woke  up  later  and  watched  the  NCAA  final  four  tournament  on  CBS.  Then  I  spoke  with  my  best  friend on  the  phone  for  a  few  hours.  Me  and him had  a  great  time  last  Saturday.  We  went  to  our  first  strip  club.  It  was  everything  we  expected plus  more.  The  day  started  off  with  me  and him meeting  up  in  Flatbush  Brooklyn  and  hopping  on  the  2  train  to  Times  Square  in  Manhattan.  We  went  to  Dave &amp;amp; Busters  and  played  some  games  and  then  ate  a  full  meal.  When  we  were  finished,  we  walked  several  blocks  to  the  #1 Gentlemens  club  in  NYC - FlashDancers.  FlashDancers  has  been  around  forever.  I  remember  seeing  ads  for  the  strip  club  in  dirty  magazines  when  I  was  in  elementary  school.  I  decided  a  week  before  to  go  to  FlashDancers  because  it's  a  legendary  strip  club  and  there  are  so  many  positive  reviews  on  it.  So,  I  had  to  go  there  to see  if  FlashDancers  was  really  the  best.  And  it  certainly  was.  As  soon  as  me  and  my  friend  stepped  into  the  club,  there were  breasts  everywhere.  It  was  like  a  breast  heaven.  After  hanging  up  our  coats,  me  and  my  friend  were  led  to  a  good  seat  by  a  fine  blonde  Russian  waitress.  She  took  our  orders  for  drinks  and  I  took  out  my  wallet  to  count  how  much  money  I  was going to  spend that night.  I  knew  it  was  going  to  be  a lot,  but  I  didn't  think  all  of  it  would  disappear  by  the  end  of  the  night.  After  the  waitress  brought  our  drinks,  we  watched  the  stage  show  for a little while.  The  strippers  were  hot!  I  couldn't  believe  my  eyes.  This  was  like  Fantasy  Island.  I  wanted  to  bang  all  of  those  girls  on  stage.  There  were  girls  passing  by  our  table  who  were  even  hotter  than  the  ones  on stage.  That's  when  this  stripper  came  up  to  our  table  and  asked  us  if  we  wanted  a  lap  dance.  I  pointed to  my  friend  and  he  got  the  first  lap  dance.  He  was  gone  for  what  seemed  like  an  hour.  I  would  get  my  first  lap  dance  a while  later  from  this  young  hot  blonde.  I  got  three  lap  dances  from  her.  Then  I  got  three  more  from  this  black  girl  with  big  tits  and  a  big  ass.  She  felt  heavy  when  she  sat  on  me.  I  think  she  crushed  my  penis.  She  gave  me  an  okay  lap  dance,  but  the  best  of  the  night  was  a  double  lap  dance  from  these  two  brunettes.  At  first,  I  got  three  lap  dances  from  this  short  brunette  who  I  think  was  Hispanic.  She  was  sexy,  and  a little  crazy.  She  was  dancing  to  the  music  and  talking  dirty  in  my  ear.  She  definitely  turned  me  on.  After  that,  she  went  to  get  her  friend  who  was  a  tall  brunette  with  "awesome  boobage."  Both  of  them  proceeded  to  molest  me  and  dry  hump  me  like  a  pillow.  By  the  end  of  that  double  lap  dance,  I  owed  both  of  them  a  combined  $140.  I  started  counted  my  money  and  I  realized  I  was  $10 short.  I  was  panicking.  I  didn't  want to  spend  the  rest  of  the  night  washing  dishes  to  pay  that  $10.  So  I  went  to  my  friend  and  asked  him  for  ten  bucks.  He handed it to me and  I  gave  it  to  the  tall  brunette.  At  that  point,  I  was  out  of  money  and  wanted  to  go  home.  There  were  too  many  strippers  soliciting  us  for  lap  dances.  Later  I  found  out  that  a  stripper  solicited  my  friend  for  6  lap  dances  which  costs  $120.  There  was  one  point  during  the  night  when  he  came  up  to  me  asking  to  borrow  $20.  You  have  to bring  a lot  of  money  when  you  go  to  these  strip  clubs.  They're  expensive.  When  we  left  the  club  and  headed  to  the  train  station,  we  noticed  that  we  still  had  the  scent  of  the  strippers  on  our clothes. It  seemed  like  most  of  the  strippers  were  wearing  the  same  perfume  or  lotion.  The  scent  was  still  on  my  clothes  two days  later.  Since  going  to  FlashDancers,  me  and  my  friend  have  talked  a lot  about  the  experience.  We  had  a  great  time.  There  were  fine  girls there,  although  I  think  a  couple  of  them  were  dudes.  The  only  bad  part  is:  there were  too  many  strippers  begging  for  lap  dances.  I  know  they're  desperate  to  make  money,  but  they  don't  have  to  be  greedy.  I  have  to  make  a  living  too.  Don't  take  all  my  money!  Overall,  I  would  give  FlashDancers  a  9.0.  It's  a  great  club  and  it  certainly  lived  up  to  its  reputation.  I  plan  on  going  back  there  next  month.  Next  time  I  won't  spend  all  of  my  money.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-6861111364486897183?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/6861111364486897183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=6861111364486897183' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6861111364486897183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6861111364486897183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/03/about-last-saturday.html' title='About  Last  Saturday'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/Sc8HTxqYOFI/AAAAAAAAAbM/vNUPEWK2G-4/s72-c/browngirlleft.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-6655226655249896466</id><published>2009-03-15T22:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T22:39:21.953-07:00</updated><title type='text'>So  So  Sunday</title><content type='html'>I  woke  up  around  noon  today  and  turned  on  the  TV  to  watch  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rock  of  Love  with  Bret  Michaels&lt;/span&gt;.  I  love  watching  these  sleazy,  trashy,  reality  shows.  They're  all  about  sex,  money,  and  trash-talking.  Those  things  are  what  keep  me  tuned  in  every  week.  Without  those  things,  there  wouldn't  be  anything  interesting  to  watch  on  TV.  One  of  my  favorite  reality  shows is  the  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bad  Girls  Club&lt;/span&gt;.  The  show  puts  six  so  called  "bad"  girls  in  a  house  together.  All  the  girls  do  is  bang  guys,  fight,  and  gossip.  Can  you  ask  for  anything  better  than  that.  It's  a  great  show.  This  has been  the  best  season  of  the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bad  Girls  Club&lt;/span&gt;  yet.  I  can't  wait  for  Tuesday  night.  Anyway,  I  spent  most  of  the  day  reading  the  last  chapters  of  the  Bret  Hart  book&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; – Bret Hart: My Real Life  in  the Cartoon World  of Wrestling&lt;/span&gt;.  It's  an intriguing  book.  It  gives  you  insight  on  the  professional  wrestling  world  and  the  dark  reality  that  surrounds  it.  What  I  found  most  interesting  about  the  book  was  how  open  and  brutally  honest  it  is.  Bret  Hart  reveals  things  in  this  book  that  you  couldn't  even  imagine.  He  gives  extensive  details  about  his  family,  marriage,  wrestling  career,  and  professional  wrestling  in  general.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bret  Hart:  My Real Life  in  the Cartoon World of Wrestlin&lt;/span&gt;g  is  a  must  read.  After  finishing  reading  the  book, I  used  the  internet  for  a while  and  updated  my  Myspace  profile.  A lot  of  people  have  abandoned  Myspace  for  Facebook,  but  I  continue  to  use  my  Myspace  profile  while  at  the  same  time  having  a  Facebook  profile.  I  love  both of them.  Later  on  I  cut  my  hair.  I  need  to  shave  tomorrow  morning  because  my  face  is  starting  to  look  like  it  has  pubic  hair  stuck  on  it.  I  need  to  get  up  real  early  tomorrow  to  shave  so  I  can  have  time  to  eat,  shower,  and  dress  for  work.  I've  been  working  at  a  Water  purification  company  called  Watermatic  for  the  last  couple  of  months.  My  job  there  is  to  cold call  and  set  up  appointments  for  the  sales  representatives.  I've  made  some  decent  money  since  I  started, but  I  plan  on  looking  for  a  better  job  in  the  upcoming  months.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-6655226655249896466?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/6655226655249896466/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=6655226655249896466' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6655226655249896466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/6655226655249896466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2009/03/so-so-sunday.html' title='So  So  Sunday'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-6446916740596547326</id><published>2009-02-08T14:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-08T14:41:13.634-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Yes  I  can!</title><content type='html'>A lot  has  happened  since  my  last  post.  I've  been  working  at  this  Water  purification  company  the  last  few  weeks.  My  job  there  is  to  cold  call  and  set  up  appointments  for  the  sales  team.  The  pay  isn't  great,  but  right  now  in  this  bad  economy  any  money  that  I  get  is  good  money.  The  job  is  a  few  blocks  away  from  my  last  job.  I  work  eight  hours  a  day,  as  opposed  to  working  almost  ten  hours  a  day  at  my  last  job.  The  office  is  the  size  of  a  theater  and  has  three  rooms  with  three  different  companies  working  there.  There  are  good  looking  girls  all  over  the  office.  This  is  why  I  don't  mind  working  there  right  now.  The  office  has  good  coffee  and  good  looking  girls.  Also,  the  whole  office  gets  free  lunch  on  Fridays.  The  food  doesn't  taste  that  great,  but  I'll  take  it.  It  saves  me  some  money.  There  are  some  cool  people  who  work  at  my  company,  but  there  are  also  some  weird  people  who  work  there  also.  I'll  talk  more  about  that  another  time.  Yesterday  I  went  to  a  Tax  preparation  service  and  filed  an  Income  Tax  return.  This  was  my  first  time  filing  taxes.  I  went  with  my  dad  since  he  knew  the  place  and  filed  his  tax  return  there.  I  thought  I  would  just  go  in,  file,  and  then  leave.  Instead  we  were  there  for  hours.  There  were  other  people  there  sitting  and  waiting.  It  was  like  a  doctor's  office.  It  was  exhausting!.  Next  year  I'm  going  to  file  online. &lt;br /&gt;Right  now,  I  am  determined  to  fulfill  all  of  my  New  Year's  resolutions.  I  am  trying  my  best  to  write  every  day  and  pursue  my  career  in  writing  and  comedy.  I  have  been  a  contributing  writer  for  the  entertainment  website  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Starpulse.com&lt;/span&gt;  for  a  month  now.  I  will  continue  to  write  great  articles  for  them  and  hopefully  get  recognition  for  my  work.  With  that  said,  I  will  work  harder  this  year  and  write  more  posts  for  this  blog.

A Christmas Story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my favorite Christmas film of all time. The kid (Ralphie) in this movie is crazy. I think he has ADHD. All he wants for Christmas is a shotgun. His parents actually buy him one and he almost shoots his eye out. Hilarious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. It's A Wonderful Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This film is always shown on television on Christmas. A classic film that never gets old no matter how many times you've seen it. The actress that plays John Stewart's wife is hot. It definitely is a wonderful life when you have a hot wife like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. It Nearly Wasn't Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I first saw this film when I was in elementary school. I remember watching it late at night on ABC on a Saturday. The theme of the film is Santa Claus loses his faith in Christmas and a little girl and a elf help Santa regain that faith. There's a scene in the movie where Santa gets mugged. What a brilliant idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. The Kid Who Loved Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This film touched my heart. The film is about a young boy who is taken away from his adopted father after his adopted mother is killed. All the boy wants for Christmas is to be reunited with his dad. A great family film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. A Very Brady Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't wait to see this film. The Brady's reunited and all grown up. The mom, dad, Alice, Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy. Cindy? The actress who played Cindy on the original Brady Bunch didn't even show up for this film. She was replaced by a hot actress from Charles in Charge. No, I'm not talking about Nicole Eggert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first saw this film I thought Rudolph was one of Santa Claus's main reindeers. But I realized he was just an outcast when I didn't see him in the other Santa Claus films. Later I found out Rudolph was captured and eaten by poachers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. Frosty the Snowman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A snowman that comes to life. How magical!(I'm being sarcastic) One time I took a pile of snow and brought it back to my house. I tried to make a snowman because I thought it would come to life. But all it did was melt and flood my house with water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. The Santa Clause&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is probably the funniest Santa Claus film I've seen. Oh wait, I take that back. Bad Santa was funnier. But this film is still a must see. Tim the "Tool Time" Allen does a great job as a substitute Santa Claus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. Home Alone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this film not because Macaulay Culkin's name sounds like mine, but because of the moral of the story – never leave your kids home alone when you're going on a holiday vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. A Christmas Carol  (1951)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another classic film. Let's be honest, We all would want our mean boss to be scared the shit by a bunch of ghosts.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-153676248484134?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/153676248484134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=153676248484134' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/153676248484134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/153676248484134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-favorite-christmas-films.html' title='My  favorite  Christmas  films'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-2933215366569462287</id><published>2008-11-24T21:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-24T22:14:00.409-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm  thankful  for......</title><content type='html'>having  a  roof  over  my  head,  and  family  and  friends  who  care  about  me.  These  are  the  main  things  that  everyone  should  be  thankful  for.  The  holiday  season  is  here  and  'Tis  the  season  to  be  jolly.  But  because  of  this  economic  collapse,  people  aren't  in  a  very  good  mood.  People  are  losing  their  jobs,  money,  and  houses.  It's  a  bad  time  right  now.  Some  people  can't  even  afford  to  buy  a  turkey  right  now.  Hopefully  president-elect  Barack  Obama  can  fix  this  mess  and  bring  Americans  together  during  this  time  of  recession.  If  he  doesn't,  we  may  be  looking  at  The  Great  Depression  part  2.  On  a  lighter  note,  me  and  my  friend  went  to  a  Knick  game  on  Saturday.  I  almost  didn't  go  because  two  days  before,  the  organization  decided  to  trade  away  the  team's  two  best  players - Jamal  Crawford  and  Zack  Randolph.  I  was  very  upset  when  I  heard  the  news.  I  was  this  close  to  ripping  those  Knick  tickets  until  my  friend  talked  me  out  of  it  and  convinced  me  that  the  Knicks  are  trying  to  clear  salary  cap  space  to get Lebron  James  in  two  years.  The  thought  of  getting  Lebron  James  in  two  years  calmed  me  down  and  made  me  look  at  the  big  picture.  The  knicks  aren't  going  to  win  a  championship  this  years  anyway.  So  why  not  clear  up  cap  space  now  and  get  Lebron  James  in  two  years.  Lebron  James  is  a  great  basketaball  player.  We  better  get  him  in  two  years  when  he's  a free  agent,  or else  we  did  this  for  nothing.  Anyway,  I  went  to  the  game  with  my  friend.  It  was  our  first  trip  to  the  Garden  (Madison  Square  Garden)  and  our  first  Knick  game.  It  was  a  great  experience.  As  usual,  whenever  me  and  my  friend  go  someplace  we  look  around  to  check  out  the  girls  in  the  place.  We  call  it - "checking  out  the  roster."  There  were  some  good looking  girls  there.  And  I'm  not  just  talking  about  the  Knick City Dancers.  The  roster  was  full  of  all-stars,  if  you  know  what  I  mean.  The  game  was  good  too.  Knicks  beat  the  awful  Washington  Wizards.  Whenever  me  and  my  friend  go  out  it's  always  an  adventure.  I'm  looking  forward  to  Thanksgiving  on  Thurday.  I'm  going  to  wake  up  early  to  watch  the  Macy's  day  parade.  Then  I'll  play  some  video  games  and  watch  some  football.  I'll  spend  the  rest  of  the  day  eating  that  delicious  turkey.  I can't  wait  to  tear  that  turkey  up.  I  know  you  guys  can't  wait  also.  Until  then,  Happy  Thanksgving  to  all  of  you  out  there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SSuVirI1PcI/AAAAAAAAAXo/XepGLLo-k4w/s1600-h/happy-thanksgiving.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 221px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SSuVirI1PcI/AAAAAAAAAXo/XepGLLo-k4w/s320/happy-thanksgiving.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272472211695156674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-2933215366569462287?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/2933215366569462287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=2933215366569462287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/2933215366569462287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/2933215366569462287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-thankful-for.html' title='I&apos;m  thankful  for......'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SSuVirI1PcI/AAAAAAAAAXo/XepGLLo-k4w/s72-c/happy-thanksgiving.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-8337425257963994778</id><published>2008-10-13T00:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T01:20:03.996-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It's  been  crazy!</title><content type='html'>How's  the  last  few  weeks  been  for  me?  It's  been  crazy!  These  last  few  weeks  have  been  the  wildest,  funniest,  and  happiest  weeks  of  my  life.  It   all  started  with  my  first-ever  trip  to  Yankee Stadium  a  few  weeks  ago.  As  you  already  know  from  reading  my  last  post,  that  was  a  great  experience  for  me.  I'll  never  forget  it.  I'll  be  able  to  tell  my  kids  in  the  future  that  I  had  the  chance  to  go  to  Yankee  Stadium  before  it  closed  down.  The  week  after  that,  I  got  the  chance  to  see  a  living  legend  perform  on  stage.  No,  I'm  not  talking about  Paul  McCartney  or  Jay- Z,  I'm  talking  about  Paul  Mooney.  In  the  comedy  world,  Paul  Mooney  is  one  of  the  greatest  stand-up  comics  to  ever  touch  the  stage.  He's  loud,  angry,  and  sometimes  racist,  but  for  the  most  part,  he's  funny.  He  wrote  with  and  for  Richard  Pryor.  He's  the  closest  thing  to  Richard  Pryor.  As  an  aspiring  stand-up  comic,  it  was  a  joy  to  watch  him  perform.  He  almost  made  me  pee  in  my  pants.  That  is  another  experience  that  I  will  never  forget.  A  week  after  that,  I  celebrated  my  birthday.  I  ate  pineapple  cake  with  different  flavors  of  ice  cream.  I  opened  the  presents  that  I  purchased  myself  weeks  before. It  was  a  great  birthday.  That  weekend  me  and  my  best  friend  went  to  the  Museum  of  Sex  and  saw  a lot  of  interesting  things.  If  you  want  to know,  you  got  to  go  see  for  yourself.  It  was  hard  for  me  to  leave  the  museum.  I  could've  stayed  there  the  whole  day.  But  I  left  after  three  arousing  hours.  My  friend  then  took  me  to  David  and  Busters  in  Times  Square  and  he  bought  me  dinner  as  a  belated  birthday  treat.  The  dinner  was  great,  but  my  friend  kept  talking  about  this  pretty  waitress instead  of  eating  his  food.  But  the  funny  part  of  the  evening  was  when  we  saw  this  angry  guy  who  may  been  the  manager,  and  my  friend  almost  mistook  him  for  Isiah  Thomas.  The  guy  did look  like  Isiah  Thomas.  Me  and  my  friend  joked  that  it  probably  was  Isiah  Thomas  and  he  decided  to  work  at  a  restaurant  after  being  fired  by  the  Knicks.  Last  week,  I  read  some  terrific  books.  All  of  these  books  were  birthday  gifts  to  myself.  Some  of  the  books  I  read  were  the  Last  Lecture,  Physics  Impossible,  and  Jim  Norton:  Happy  Endings - The  tales  of  a  meaty-breasted  zilch.  I  spent  the  whole  week  focused  on  reading  these  books  than  on  anything  else.  This  past  Friday,  I  finally  met  one  of  my  myspace  friends  in  person.  I  got  lost  trying  to  find  her  house,  but  it  was  worth  it.  She's  a  cool  person  to  talk  to and  hang  out  with.  I  gave  her  some  belated  birthday  gifts  and  she  gave me  some  alcohol.  That  alcohol  gave  me  a  monster  headache  the  next  morning.  But  anyway,  I've  enjoyed these  past  few  weeks.  I  wish  I  could  relive  them  again  and  again.  They've been  crazy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-8337425257963994778?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/8337425257963994778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=8337425257963994778' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8337425257963994778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8337425257963994778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/10/its-been-crazy.html' title='It&apos;s  been  crazy!'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-8287313478932853964</id><published>2008-09-20T23:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-21T00:17:37.773-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My  first  trip  to  Yankee  Stadium</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SNXnyanvP9I/AAAAAAAAANs/Qhlo5but5FI/s1600-h/800px-Yankee_stadium_exterior.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SNXnyanvP9I/AAAAAAAAANs/Qhlo5but5FI/s320/800px-Yankee_stadium_exterior.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248355794095652818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                               &lt;center&gt; &lt;b&gt;"The  House  That  Ruth  Built"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've  been  a  Yankee  fan  for  over  ten  years  now  and  I  had  not  been  to  Yankee  Stadium  until  Wednesday.  I  decided  a  month  earlier  to  go  see  a  Yankee  game  since  I  had  never  been  to  one  before  and  to  see  Yankee  Stadium  up  close  and  personal  before  it  closes  down.  As  you  Yankee  and  baseball  fans  know,  the  current  Yankee  stadium  will  be  demolished  after  the  season  ends  and  the  Yankees  will move  into  the  new  stadium  next  year. The  current  stadium  was  opened  in  1923  and  renovated  in  1974.  Yankee  Stadium  or  "The  House  That  Ruth  Built"  has  hosted  World  Series  Championships,  boxing  matches,  football  games,  and  religious  gatherings.  It  has  had  many  moments  like  Lou  Gehrig's  infamous  farewell  speech  in  1939,  "The  greatest  game  ever  played" between  the  New  York  Giants  and  Baltimore  Colts  in  the  NFL  championship  in  1958,  and  Muhammad  Ali  defending  his  heavyweight  crown  against  Ken  Norton  in  1976.  These  great  moments  have  given  Yankee  Stadium  its  mystique  and  aura  unlike  any  other  stadium  in  the  world.  When  I  stepped  into  Yankee  Stadium  on  Wednesday,  September  17, 2008,  I  felt  that  mystique  and  aura  and  was  in  awe  of  it.  Everything  about  the  stadium  is  fantastic - the  seats,  the  field,  the  dimensions  and  asymmetry of  the  stadium, Monument  park.  It  was  surreal.  I  couldn't  believe  I  was  in  Yankee  Stadium.  It  was  like  a  dream,  but  it  wasn't.  I  had  a  great  view of the  field  from  where  I  was  sitting.  I  sat  in  in  the  tier  level  in  the  upper  deck  section. I  always  thought  the  Upper  deck  was  very  high  up  because  that's  what  it  looks  like  on  television.  But  in  person,  upper  deck  is  high,  but  it  isn't  as  high  as  I  thought  it  was.  I saw  the  game  clearly  from  where  I  sat.  I  had  some  trouble  figuring  out  some  of  the  pitchers  during  later  innings,  but  it  didn't  really  matter.  I  enjoyed  myself  at  the  game  and  ate  a  Jumbo  pretzel  and  drank  a  large  cup  of  Sprite  soda.  I  witnessed  the  Yankees  beat  the  Chicago  White  Sox  5-1.  It  was  a  good  game  and  I  will  never  forget  it.  I  had  the  chance  to  see  the stadium  where  legends  like  Babe  Ruth,  Lou  Gehrig,  Joe  DiMaggio,  and  Mickey  Mantle  played.  And  I  had  the chance  to  see  my  Yankees  win.  I  will  always  cherish  that  memory  of  my  first  trip  to  Yankee  Stadium.  Go  Yankees  2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My  first  Yankee  game  ticket&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SNXzRtOroVI/AAAAAAAAAN8/rUF805BigDU/s1600-h/yankee++ticket.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SNXzRtOroVI/AAAAAAAAAN8/rUF805BigDU/s400/yankee++ticket.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248368426294681938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-8287313478932853964?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/8287313478932853964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=8287313478932853964' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8287313478932853964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/8287313478932853964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-first-trip-to-yankee-stadium.html' title='My  first  trip  to  Yankee  Stadium'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SNXnyanvP9I/AAAAAAAAANs/Qhlo5but5FI/s72-c/800px-Yankee_stadium_exterior.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-5117274652577602256</id><published>2008-08-13T17:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-13T17:47:23.802-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What  am  I  doing?</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

This  is   the   name   of   a   girl   I   fell   in   love   with   a   few  months   ago.   I  haven't   seen  her   in   a while.  I've  been  trying  so  hard  to  forget  about  her,  but  it's  hard  to  get  someone  out  of  your  head  when  their  name  keeps  appearing  on  television.  I've  been  seeing  that  name  on  television  all  this  week.  It's  driving  me  crazy.  That  name  brings  back  memories  of  her.  The  good  ones.  Every time  I  hear  or  see  her  name,  I  get  goosebumps  and  I  think  about  how  beautiful  she  looked  and  how  sweet  she  was.  I  often  find  myself  daydreaming  and  fantasizing  about  her.  Those  fantasies  are  usually  about  me  being  her  boyfriend  and  being  romantic  to  her.  She  was  so  beautiful.  She  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  women  I've  ever  met.  I  wish  I  had  the  chance  to  tell  her  how  I  felt  about  her.   I  had  a  crush  and  was  in  love  with  her.  I  always  thought  about writing  her  a  love  note,  but  I  was  scared.  Scared  of  rejection.  I  gave  her  a  rose.  I  hope  she  still  has  it.  That  rose  is  a  symbol  of  my  love,  appreciation,  and  affection  for  her.  When  she's  touching  that  rose,  she's  touching  my  heart.  I  miss  her.  I  miss  her  pretty  hair,  her  pretty  face,  her  pretty  smile,  and  her  pretty  body.  Maybe  I'll  see  her  someday.  Maybe  the  reason  why  I'm  seeing  her  name  so  much  on  television  is  because  it's  some  kind  of  sign.  A  sign  that  I'll  see  her  again.  And  maybe  be  with  her.  If  I  never  see  her  again,  I'll  move  on  with  my  life.  But  I  will  always  be  in  love  with  her.  I  love  you  Victoria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy  George - Crying  Came&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/mathieu/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:donotoptimizeforbrowser/&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink 	{color:blue; 	text-decoration:underline; 	text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed 	{color:purple; 	text-decoration:underline; 	text-underline:single;} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oOgv-UuTgac&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oOgv-UuTgac&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-1272558191847930519?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/1272558191847930519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=1272558191847930519' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1272558191847930519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1272558191847930519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/06/victoria.html' title='VICTORIA'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/SGNTWD9tc8I/AAAAAAAAAJw/mgn1suEJGzo/s72-c/Red_rose.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-3615957173409689429</id><published>2008-06-25T16:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T20:08:48.063-08:00</updated><title type='text'>RIP.

This  is  a  major  shock  in  the  comedy  world.  George  Carlin  was  a  major  influence  on  some  of  the  brilliant  comedians  today  like  Jerry  Seinfeld,  Chris  Rock,  and  Jay  Leno.  He  explored  many  topics  in  his  stand-up  routines  like  politics,   religion,  language,  and  American  culture.  He  was  also  very  observant  and  mocked  society's  faults  and  failures,  as  well  as  human  behavior.  George  Carlin  has  been  a  major  influence  on  me.  I  own  most  of  his  early  comedy  albums,  including  the  album  "Class  Clown"  where  he  reveals  the  seven  dirty  words  you  can't  say  on  television.  I  think  he  is  the  second  greatest  stand-up  comedian  of  all  time  behind  Richard  Pryor.  I  first  saw  him  in  the  movie  Bill &amp;amp;  Ted's  Excellent  Adventure.  Then  I  watched  him  on  Shining  Time  station  where  he  played  Mr.  Conductor.  It  was  years  later  that  I  found  out  that  he  was  a  stand-up  comedian  when  I  watched  one  of  his  HBO  specials -  You  are  all  Diseased.  I  thought  his  stand-up  was  amazing.  Ever  since  then  I  was  a  fan.  He  will  be  missed  and  his  stand-up  will  influence  many  more  present  and  future  comedians.  To  see  how  great  George  Carlin  was,  watch  the  two  videos  below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seven  dirty  words  you  can't  say  on  television&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/mathieu/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:donotoptimizeforbrowser/&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BTyzTJTNhNk&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BTyzTJTNhNk&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;George  Carlin  on  death&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 9"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/mathieu/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:donotoptimizeforbrowser/&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PiZSFIVFiU&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PiZSFIVFiU&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-3615957173409689429?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/3615957173409689429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=3615957173409689429' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3615957173409689429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3615957173409689429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/06/rip-george-carlin.html' title='RIP.

I  have resigned  from  my  position  at  Shoplet.com.  It  was  fun  working  there.  I  made  some  friends  over  there  and  I  fell  in  love  with  the  secretary.  I'll  miss  the  secretary.  She's  one  of  the  most  beautiful  women  I've  ever  met.  I  just  wish  I  could've  gotten  to  know  her  better.  I  had  to  leave  the  job  because  my  heart  wasn't  into  it.  Also,  I  kind  of  felt  that  I  was  being  treated  like  a  baby  over  there.  I  just  had  to  leave.  Right  now  I  feel  terrible.  I'm  dealing  with  high  anxiety,  depression,   and  a  identity  crisis.  I'm  at  a  low point  in  my  life  right  now.  I'm  young  and  confused.  I  don't  know  where  my  life  is  headed.  I  don't  know  why  I  feel  the  way  I  feel.  I  feel  lonely  in  the  world  right  now.  I  don't  want  to  socialize  with  my  friends  or  have  fun.  I  just  want  to  eat,  sleep,  and  watch  TV.  I  know  this  is  just  a  phase  that  I'm  going  through,  but  it  is  taking  a  toll  on  me  mentally.  I  have  to  find  a  way  to  snap  out  of  this  funk.

I'm  starting  to  hate  my  job  at  Shoplet.com.  I'm  getting  tired  of  calling  customers  all  day  and  trying  to  get  them  to  continue  buying  from  Shoplet.  The  job  requires  me  to  make  50  connected  calls  a  day.  Each  call  has  to  last  for  at  least  30  seconds  so  I  can  get  credit.  All  the  calls  I  make  are  stored  in  a  master  phone  system  so  management  can  look  at.  So,  I  have  to  make  calls  or  else  I'm  fired.  As  a  Shoplet  employee,  I'm  required  to  average  50  calls  a  day  and  make  my  sales  budget  which  increases  every  month.  I  have  to  develop  relationships  with  customers  and  get  them  to  continue  purchasing.  For  this  job  you  have  to  be  an  inside  salesman,  but  sometimes I  feel  like  I  have  to  be  a  customer  service  representative  because  I  have  to  deal  with  customers  calling  me  about  orders  they  haven't  received,  damaged  items  they  got,  and  discontinued  items  that  they  thought  were  in  stock.  I  have  to  deal  with  all  of  this  while  trying  to  make  50  outbound  calls  a  day  and  reaching  my  expected  budget.  This  job  is  taking  a  toll  on  me - physically  and  mentally.  I  can't  take  it  anymore.  I  want  to  leave.  It's  not  only  the customers  and  the  calls  I  have  to  put  up  with,  it's  also  the  people  I  work  with.  The  people that  I  work  with  treat  me  like  a  little  kid.  Just  because  I  look  like  a  little  kid  doesn't  mean  I  am  one.  I  don't  get  no  respect  from  some  of  them.  My  sales  manager  treats  me  like  I'm  4  years  old.  I'm  24  years  old  damn  it.  This  guy  is  always  on  my  case  and  he's  constantly  making  remarks  to  make  me  look  like  an  idiot  in  the  office.  The  sales  assistant  there  treats  me  like  a  baby  sometimes  too.  She  doesn't  take  me  seriously  sometimes  and  she  gets  very  uptight  when  I  joke  around  with  her.  She  is  nice  sometimes,  but  most  of  the  time  she  isn't.  Over  the  last  couple  of  months  I've  developed  strong  feelings  for  her.  I've  told  her  how  beautiful  she  is  and  I  think  she  looks  great  considering  she  is  a  middle  age  woman.  But  she  ignores  me  sometimes  and  gets  mad  at  me  because  she  thinks  I'm  rude  to  her.  Nonetheless,  I'm  still  attracted  to  her  and  I'm  in  love  with  her,  but  I  wish  she  would  treat  me  like  she  treated  some  of  the  other  guys  in  the  office.  Like  I  said  earlier,  I'm  starting  to  hate  this  job.  I  can't  take  the  workload  anymore  and  I  can't  handle  being  treated like  an  outcast  at  the  office.    This  may  be  my  last  month  working  there.  I  really  want  to  leave  and  go  work  somewhere  else  or  become  a  full time  comedian.  Over  the  next  few  weeks  I'll  decide  what  I  want  to  do.  Whether  I'll  stay  or  go.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-5429883383049690622?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/5429883383049690622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=5429883383049690622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5429883383049690622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5429883383049690622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/05/honeymoon-may-be-over.html' title='The  honeymoon  may  be  over'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-1207186290172058869</id><published>2008-04-20T13:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-20T13:46:03.416-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Here  and  Now</title><content type='html'>I've  been  very  tired  lately  and  a little  stressed  out.  My  job  can  be  a  very  stressful  job.  I  have  to  call  customers  all  day  and  stare  at  a  damn  computer.  When  I  come  home  from  work,  I'm  ready to  go  to  bed  and  sleep.  The  old  me  would  have  quit  this  job  a  long  time  ago.  But  the  new  me  will  stay  a little  longer  and  save  up  money  for  my  comedy  career.  I  really  need  to  get  back  onstage  and  do  stand-up  comedy.  I  haven't  done  it  in  so  long.  I  know  I can  be  a  great  stand-up  comedian.  The  jokes  that  I  write  are  funnier  than  the  jokes  of  most  of  the  comedians  out  there  right  now.  I  know  I  have  potential.  I'm  creating  a  portfolio  of  my  work  to  bring  to  an  agent  one  day.  I  need  an  agent  really  bad.  Without  any  agent,  I'm  going  to  be  stuck  in  the  same  place  doing  9-5  jobs.  I  don't  want  to  be  doing  9-5  jobs  the  rest  of  my  life.  I  want  to  be  a  great comedian,  and  I  want  to  be  famous!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-1207186290172058869?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/1207186290172058869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=1207186290172058869' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1207186290172058869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/1207186290172058869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/04/here-and-now.html' title='Here  and  Now'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-3004544669979679392</id><published>2008-02-22T22:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-22T23:05:52.542-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New  job</title><content type='html'>For  a  week  and  a  half  now,  I've  been  working  at  Shoplet.com  as  an  account  manager.  I'm  still  training,  but  so  far  I've  done  a lot  of  work.  The  people  there  are  cool  and  the  job  isn't  really  that  difficult.  But  sometimes  it  can  be  boring  because  you're  looking  at  a  computer  all  day  and  talking  on  the  phone.  The  job  is  located  in  lower  Manhattan  and  it's  in  a  big  building  with  other  companies.  I've  been  using  a  temporary  pass  to  get  upstairs  because  I  haven't  gotten  a  real  pass  yet.  Maybe  Monday  I'll  finally  get  one.  Today  it  was  very  cold  and  it  snowed.  I  didn't  feel  like  going  to  work  when  I  woke  up  this  morning,  but  I  decided to  go.  I  need  to  make  money  and  save  up.  I  hope  this  job  lasts  awhile  for  me.  I  lasted  only  two  days  at  my  last  job.  I'm  hoping  to  be  with  this  company  for  at  least  2-3  years.  Hopefully.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-3004544669979679392?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/3004544669979679392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=3004544669979679392' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3004544669979679392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/3004544669979679392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/02/new-job.html' title='New  job'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-5038156730473109966</id><published>2008-02-18T21:25:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-18T21:37:46.434-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sensual  Seduction</title><content type='html'>I   should've  posted  this  video  on  Valentine's  day.  It's  Snoop  Dogg's  music  video  "Sensual  Seduction."  I  love  the  song  and  the  video.  Snoop  Dogg  goes  old  school  and  shows  us  how  good  music  sounded  like  back  in  the  day,  when  people  had  Afros  and  wore  bell-bottoms.  This  is  the  type  of  song  that  drives  girls  crazy.  If  you  bring  a  girl  to  your  house  and  play  this  song,  she  will  take  her  panties  off  immediately.  You  didn't  even  have  to  ask.  This  song  is,  how  Snoop  Dogg  would  say,  the  shiznick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Snoop  Dogg - Sensual  Seduction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSS_DY_z-Dc&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSS_DY_z-Dc&amp;amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253501056277721474-5038156730473109966?l=maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/feeds/5038156730473109966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2253501056277721474&amp;postID=5038156730473109966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5038156730473109966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2253501056277721474/posts/default/5038156730473109966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://maccorleymathieu.blogspot.com/2008/02/sensual-seduction.html' title='Sensual  Seduction'/><author><name>maccorley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08535220527686671198</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/lmathieu11226/mac2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253501056277721474.post-8956243104360001625</id><published>2008-01-18T01:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T20:08:48.357-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Rita  Rudner: The  funniest  female  ever?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_snsGZr82hTs/R5BsJC3fPhI/AAAAAAAAAIE/6WPzIXjkdwA/s1600-h/ritarudner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I  didn't  get  much  sleep  last  night  because  of  a  toothache  that's  been  bothering  me  for  days  now.  I  can't  have  a  root  canal  because  I  don't  have  the  money  to  pay  for  it  right  now.  I  only  got  one  hour  of  sleep.  To  top  it  off,  I  had  to wake  up  early  to  go  to  a  job  interview  with  Mother Nature.com,  an  online  store  that  sells  health  and  medical  products.  The  position  that  I  applied  for  was  Customer  Service  representative.  The  interview  was  at  8am.  Even  though  I  woke  up  at  6am, I  was  still  late.  The  office  is  located  in  Seventh  Avenue  next  to  a  diner.  I  was  confused  at  first  because  the  diner  had  the  number  of  the  building  I  was  looking  for.  I  almost  went  into  the  diner  to  ask  if  Mother Nature.com's  office  was  located  here, but  then  I  decided  to  look  at  the  two  buildings  next  to  the  diner  and  I  found  what  I  was  looking  for.  I  pressed  the  doorbell  and  someone  buzzed  me  in  and  then  I  went  up  to  the  3rd  floor  where  the  office  was.  When  I  walked  into  the  office,  there  were  two  guys  on  computers  facing  away  from  me.  They  didn't even  bother  to  look  back  to  see  who  came  in.  The  office  was  very  small.  It  looked  like  my  apartment.  I  approached  the  desk  of  one  of  the  guys  and  then  the  other  guy  saw  me  and  realized he  had  to  interview  me  today.  No shit!  He  shook  my  hand  and  moments  later  led me  into  another  room  that  looked  like a  kitchen.  We  sat  down  at  a  round table  and  he  proceeded  to interview  me.  The  interview  went  real  well. The  guy was  cool  and  he  made  it  seem  like  the job  is very simple.  We  shall  see  about  that. The  job  is  from  9-5  and requires  data entry  and  answering  a lot  of  customer  calls  each day. I  think  I  can  handle  it  if  I'm  hired.  I  really want  this  job. I  need  money to  supplement  my  comedy  career.  After  the  interview  was  over,  I went  home  and  slept  for  three  hours  to  make up  the  sleep  that  I  didn't  get  last  night.  Later,  I  got up  and  got  ready to  meet  my  friend  Will  at  a  buffet  that we  always  go  to.  Usually  I'm  the  one  who  arrives  late, but  this  time  Willyboy  came  very  very  late.  I  almost  left.  When  he  arrived  we  went  into  the  buffet  and  ate  like  pigs.  This  buffet  has  some  delicious  food  that  I've  ever  tasted.  I  wish  I could  live  there.  Anyway,  me and  Will  ate,  chatted,  and  had  fun. We  shared  a  few  laughs  and  passed  gas.  It  was  fun.  I  gave  him  two  videotape copies  of  wrestling  matches  and  a  Bonner's  Boomers  show  (the  sketch  group  that  I'm  in),  The  Incredible  Hulk  TV  series  movies,  and  I  also showed  him  my  drawing book  from  my  younger  days.
