Who say's complaining doesn't work?

This year my apartment building recently got bought by a new management company and we are going condo. Well the managment company who has been waiting for final state approval started doing some renovations and basically left our building a complete mess for the past 3 months. I got so feed up that last week I wrote a letter to those bastards. My letter was as follows:



Philo Management Company
520 Westfield Ave
Elizabeth, NJ 07208-1658

To Whom It May Concern:
I currently reside at XXX XAvenue Apartment XX , Belmar NJ. As a tenant I have several complaints. First the lack of communication received from your management office is appalling. My lease was up mid-November and I never received any communication stating if I need to sign a new lease. After speaking with several other tenants, some of whom have called your office, I was told that we are now on a month to month lease. I am fine with this arrangement; however receiving a written communication would have been appropriate.
My second complaint is on the unsafe living conditions and the horrible state that this apartment building has been in since you began renovating approximately 5 months ago. I would not mind living here during renovations if the renovations were being performed within a timely fashion and we were communicated to in writing on when and what improvements were being made. But that is not the case; the appearance of these buildings is disgusting. I understand that this is an old building, but when Harding Estates was the management company it was always kept neat and clean. When I found out about the condo conversion I was considering buying my unit, but if this poor performance is any indication of the quality and timeliness of the conversion process I am not interested.
Here are numerous complaints from myself and other tenants:
· There is dirt, plaster, and nails all over the hallways.
· There are two vacuums on my floor that have been there for over a month
· The front light is consistently out in front of building 205 when I come home late at night.
· The doors are left wide open by the workers.
· A refrigerator has been on the 3rd floor hallway of building 201 for two months.
· A vendor came and put in railings on the stairs and they ripped up the rug and runners and left them. This is a hazard, someone could easily trip.
· The front door of building 201 was broke and the mailman could not get in to deliver mail for over a week.
· There are holes in the walls from the electrician.
· There was a sewage leak on the basement floor of building 201 from the drainage not being properly maintained.
It seems that you may be forgetting that people still live in these buildings and are still paying rent. I have attached pictures taken over the last week so that you can see for yourself the conditions of these two buildings. If these conditions do not improve within the next few weeks I will have no choice other then to contact the Belmar Code Enforcement Department and we will start to withhold rent in a rent strike.

Sincerely,

XXXXXX




















This letter was sent certified mail to Philo Management company last week, and starting last Thursday and Friday there were workers here cleaning this place up! Today when I came home it was an even bigger improvement, the rugs were trimmed, there is a new door in the front and rear of the building and the intercom system is getting moved outside!!!! I am so excited, this is proof that when something is bothering you - COMPLAIN!

Interesting Article on Marriage

For first time, unmarried households reign in US
by Maxim KniazkovSun Oct 15, 1:02 PM ET
It is by no means dead, but for the first time, a new survey has shown that traditional marriage has ceased to be the preferred living arrangement in the majority of US households.
The shift, reported by the US Census Bureau in its 2005 American Community Survey, could herald a sea change in every facet of American life -- from family law to national politics and its current emphasis on family values.
The findings, which were released in August but largely escaped public attention until now because of the large volume of data, indicated that marriage did not figure in nearly 55.8 million American family households, or 50.2 percent.
More than 14 million of them were headed by single women, another five million by single men, while 36.7 million belonged to a category described as "nonfamily households," a term that experts said referred primarily to gay or heterosexual couples cohabiting out of formal wedlock.
In addition, there were more than 30 million unmarried men and women living alone, who are not categorized as families, the Census Bureau reported.
By comparison, the number of traditional households with married couples at their core stood at slightly more than 55.2 million, or 49.8 percent of the total.
Unmarried couples gravitated toward big cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, while the farm states in the Great Plains and rural communities of the Midwest and West remained bastions of traditionalism, according to the survey.
The trend represented a dramatic change from just six years ago, when married couples made up 52 percent of 105.5 million American households.
It indicated that efforts by President George W. Bush and his allies, who over the past five years have made a concerted effort to shore up traditional marriage and families through tax breaks, special legislation and church-sponsored campaigns is bearing little fruit.
The shift, experts said, also raises the question about the future effectiveness of so-called "family value" politics currently played by both Republicans and Democrats.
Douglas Besharov, a sociologist with the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank, said it is difficult for the traditional family to emerge unscathed after three and a half decades of divorce rates reaching 50 percent and five decades out-of-wedlock births.
"Change is in the air," Besharov said in a recent interview with the State Department journal called US Society and Values. "The only question is whether it is catastrophic or just evolutionary."
He predicted that cohabitation and temporary relationships between people were likely to dominated America's social landscape for years to come.
"Overall, what I see is a situation in which people -- especially children -- will be much more isolated, because not only will their parents both be working, but they'll have fewer siblings, fewer cousins, fewer aunts and uncles," the scholar argued. "So over time, we're moving towards a much more individualistic society."
In the opinion of Stephanie Coontz, who heads the Council on Contemporary Families, growing life expectancy as well as women's earning potential are impacting the traditional marriage in unexpected ways.
If before World War II the typical American marriage ended with the death of one partner within a few years after the last child had left home, she pointed out in the journal, that today couples can look forward to spending more than two decades together in an empty nest.
"The growing length of time partners spend with only each other for company, in some instances, has made individuals less willing to put up with an unhappy marriage, while women's economic independence makes it less essential for them to do so," Coontz

JT at Starland

OMG! I hate to sound like a teenager obsessed with a celebrity, but can Justin Timberlake be any hotter? I saw him perform at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ this past Friday (9/1/06) and for those of you that don't know Starland is the old Hunka Bunka nightclub and a FABULOUS venue to see any band/performance at. So Mr. JT came on a little after 10 pm and he rocked! He opened with Cry Me River, played some tracks from Justified and then played some new tracks from his up and coming cd. Then he closed with, you guessed it - Sexy Back (LOVE IT!) and Timberland came on and sang with him. It was a great time! He is a very talented dude and a hottie too if I must say. I can't wait for the new CD to drop next week!

Kevin Smith & Clerks in Red Bank, NJ

Last night I went to a free showing of Clerks in Marine Park in Red Bank, NJ. It was sponsored by Netflix's rolling road show and Kevin Smith was there for a Q&A session before the showing. It was pretty cool, I am a Kevin Smith fan, but some people are real fanatics. You should have heard some of the questions. Some geeks asked his opinion on Superman returns, comic books, and other super heros, and if Ben Afflect is a douche bag. Others asked him to call their friends who could not make it, for jobs, and to read their screen plays (man can you imagine the nerve). But Kevin Smith was a cool guy and pretty much went along with everything, it does not seem Hollywood has changed him much. He seems very down to earth and approachable.
The Q&A went on until it was dark enough to show the movie. Then Clerks played; there were few technical difficulties but all in all it was a good time. I had not seen Clerks in awhile and it was great! One of my favorite lines has to be "Don't suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot." Great movie, and if you have not seen it you better get over the Netflix and rent it pronto! This is a must see, especially if you are from NJ.
If you have never gone to a movie outdoors in the summertime I highly recommend it! Red Bank does it every Tuesday night in the summer and I think Hoboken has movies in the park too!

Pissed and Lazy...

For some reason I am so lazy this week, I don't feel like going to the gym at all and yet I come home from work and do nothing, I'm guessing work has me exhausted. I should take my ass down to the boardwalk and take a nice long walk and try to enjoy the remainder of summer and living at the beach. I must admit it is fabulous to live this close to the beach in the summer I LOVE IT! But having to go to work everyday ruins it. Where is that long lost rich relative that is going to leave me millions so I can be independently wealthly?

Anyway enough day-dreaming...on a side note I am so pissed at these asshole drivers in Red Bank. Every evening when I leave my building I make a right hand turn, there are also cars coming from the opposite direction making a left hand turn. I believe that NJ state law is that I have the right away, so why do these dicks always try running me and everyone else off the road and then when you look at them they give you the finger like you are doing something wrong. This happened to me today and I was sooooooooooo pissed I wished for a second that I could chase down that Mother-fer and shoot his tires out......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....just needed to vent some more, I already bitched about it to my sister....

30 Seconds to Mars



Last night I went to The Stone Pony in Asbury Park to see 30 Seconds to Mars. It has been a very long time since I have gone to see a concert at a place like the Stone Pony and I almost forgot how young the crowd is at these places with an all ages show. When the marjority of the crowd is not legal drinking age it is very easy to get to the bar :)
30 Seconds to Mars is my new favorite band that just so happens to be hottie Jared Leto's group. They were so awesome and Jared Leto is totally hot! Even with all the black and that eyeliner - GORGEOUS still. I wanted to become a band groupie last night. I felt like I was back to the days of My So Called Life when I was lusting after Jordan Catalano with every other teenage girl in America.
But seriously they are a very good band if you have not heard them check them out on iTunes or something their new album is called A Beautiful Lie, I highly recommend it!

OMG - The OC

Ok for those of you who don't know The OC is one of my favorite shows, I was hooked in season 1, which was so good, if you don't know you need to rent it from Netflix!
So the last two seasons have been kind of a let down, I've posted my opinion before on how bad the show was becoming. That is until this final episode, they apparently killed off Marisa! THANK GOD...no offense but I hope she is really dead, I'm sick of her and her alcohol and drug addictions that last one week, she is always sitting on the beach feeling sorry for herself and dragging Ryan down.
Also supposedly the reason the show has been so bad was because the original creator and writer - Josh Schwartz stopped writing episodes and he saw the show going down hill and is now trying to save it by writing again - YES! Please bring back the greatness of Season 1!

For those that need a re-cap from the season finale this is the final scene:

As Ryan drives, Volchok rams his car from behind. He then pulls alongside and tries to run Ryan off the road. And he succeeds. Ryan barrels through a curve and over an embankment. The car rolls end over end down the hill, finally crashing on another road below. Coming back to his senses, Ryan crawls out of the car. Noticing gas pouring from the tank and a small fire, he grabs an unconscious Marissa and carries her free of the wreckage in a mirror from the time he found her in Tijuana. The car explodes and Ryan lays Marissa down on the pavement and rouses her. He tells her he's going to get help, but she begs him to stay. And then she dies.

I Wish I Knew How to Wack You!

Finally! Thank God they finally wacked Vito on the Sopranos. I don't know about you but I was getting a bit sick of his character and the brokeback love affair with Johnny-Cakes.
Anyway, Vito wants back in and stalks Tony at the Short Hills mall, this is when he tells him he is over his homsexual episode:
Vito: "If you want proof, I can probably get a letter from my doctor."
Tony :"A note from your doctor sayin' you don't like to suck cock?"

So meanwhile Vito tells his poor kids that he is in the CIA, and then after he shows up dead his kids read in the paper that he was gay and it was a hate crime.
HA-HA..... the Sopranos is great, but I still don't know where it is going this season, only a few weeks left to find out...

Speak Out America - Protest Rising Gas Prices

Today CafePress issued a press release titled Speak Out America - Protest Rising Gas Prices! - CafePress Leads Gas Price Protest with Promise to Send Top Selling Merchandise to US Officials and an Offer Equivalent to 1 Free Gallon of Gas
CLICK HERE TO SEE DESIGNS
In the release we do two things
First, we point to gas price related merchandise and promise to send the two best selling designs (printed on t-shirts) to US leaders who should know what the public thinks about rising prices at the pump (the list is as follows: President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert, House Majority Leader John A. Boehner, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi).

Second, were offering a discount of $3 off any purchase over $20 (its kinda like getting a free gallon of gas, just enter USGASPRICE during checkout for discount to be applied).

Why are we doing it?Our community told us what theyre interested in by creating gas price related designs, the media told us the American people are interested in gas prices, and we want nothing more than to help our Shopkeepers spread the word. CafePress is about self-expression and we want our users messages in the hands of those who can make a difference, and by offering a discount it becomes easier for buyers to help spread the word on the streets

Thanks to crystal meth!

Thanks to crystal meth, I can no longer by Claritin D after hours. This sucks, yesterday my allergies were killing me, but of course the pharmacy department at the store was closed. So now that you have to pick up a card and go to the pharmacy counter just to get some OTC medication and when you purchase it they enter your license and date of birth into their system. Now what I want to know is who in the FBI is responsible for tracking the number of medication a person is actually buying, if I keep buying Claritin two times a month, will the special drug unit be knocking on my door to see if I have a crystal meth lab in my apartment?

Another Tax?

Daily Record, May 2, 2006
SENATORS MOVE TO SINK CORZINE'S WATER TAX PLAN
By Tom Hester Jr., Associated Press WriterTRENTON, N.J. (AP) --
New Jerseyans won't be paying a new water tax ifkey senators get their way.Senators from both parties Monday expressed opposition to Gov. Jon S.Corzine's plan to require public water consumers to pay a new tax. Thelevy would cost the average New Jersey household $4 per year and helpthe state handle droughts, but senators were unconvinced."New Jerseyans are taxed enough," said Sen. Wayne Bryant, D-Camden,the Senate budget committee chairman.As senators debated proposed environmental protection spending duringa budget committee hearing, Bryant said the tax would tell taxpayers"that we're always going to find another way to squeeze you."Corzine, a Democrat, wants the proposed tax -- 4 cents per 1,000gallons of water -- to raise $12 million per year to pay for waterinfrastructure improvements. Corzine wants to improve the state'sability to deliver water during droughts, noting the state has seenfive droughts in 13 years but done little to improve water supply.Environmental Protection Commissioner Lisa Jackson said the cost wouldbe worthwhile."There's no doubt in my mind that we need to invest in thatinfrastructure," Jackson said.But Sens. Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and Anthony Bucco, R-Morris,expressed concern that money raised by the tax wouldn't be legallydesignated for water work. Bucco questioned taxing a "commodity that'sessential to life," and Sen. Sharpe James, D-Essex, said the tax,while small, would hit low-income families hard.Several senators suggested the state could find $12 million per yearfor water work somewhere amid $30 billion in annual spending."You're not getting enough money back for the grief you're going toget," Sen. William Gormley, R-Atlantic, told Jackson.But Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, D-Union, a member of the Assembly budgetpanel and chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee, saidthe tax will average just 30 cents per month and is needed."The financial and environmental cost will only increase if action isignored or even deferred," Cryan said. "Water may be an element ofnature, but maintaining adequate supplies of clean water into thefuture is not totally free."

NJ WE DON"T PUMP

What once was unique to NJ may be gone if Governor Corzine gets his way, NJ one of the only states besides Oregon where you get to sit in your car and have someone else pump your gas for you.
Back in June 2005 my sister wanted me to create a t-shirt that said NJ: We Don't Pump, and at the time I thought that it was a cute unique thing people would want to represent their love for NJ. Now I think we want to wear this design to protest Corzine's attempt to remove the gas self-service ban. I for one do not want to have to pump my own gas, unless it is saving me a lot more then 5 or 6 cents a gallon. Come on people! Gas is cheaper here then in all the other states anyway, so I really do not think this is a valid theory he has. So people show your support for NJ and sitting in your car in the rain and snow while someone else pumps it for you!

Can we impeach this bastard?

I am so sick of Governor Corzine he has only been in office about 100 days and so far he has raised sales tax in NJ, cut higher education budgets, talked about putting sales tax on clothes, taxing health club memberships, and now this fucking bastard is talking about lowering the speed limit to 55 MPH and changing NJ gas stations to self-serve to save a few cents on gas. This is absolutely ridiculous! First this would never lower the cost of gas, get real people. Anyone who thinks that it will work obviously does not live in NJ or reality for that matter. This guy NEEDS TO GO. Why are we taking this, get this man out of office he sucks ass. I'm not a political person at all but this is turning me into a political activist.

In honor of this clown I have created new t-shirt designs.

What happened to the days of 90210

I am so disappointed with the OC, when it first started I was hoping it would be my replacement for Beverly Hills 90210 (I loved that show).

Let's face it The OC is a poor man's 90210, Marissa has a coke problem for a day, Kelly was coked out for almost a wholw season, another example Seth starts smoking weed for a day, remember when David Silver was high on Crystal Meth? It just dosn't compare.




Anyway this week I was once again highly disappointed, Teresa is seen in the airport by Kirstin with a baby and Ryan of course assumes it's his, but when she comes to his house the first words out of her mouth are he's not yours. And this dumb ass believes her, doesn't question it, doesn't ask for prove of the parternity test...ugh...it is so annoying. And then the whole Seth & Summer crap is so STUPID, and yet I keep watching hoping it will get better. Where the hell did they get these writers? If i was writing for that show it would be the best show on TV, people want real drama that lasts a little longer then 5 minutes and then everything is fine...WTF!

Monica's B-Day Celebration

Pretty soon they are going to tax the air we breathe

OK NJ what the hell is up? This bastard governor Corzine is increasing our taxes left and right and we just sit back and accept it. What the fuck is wrong with us? We live in AMERICA we can fight and oppose anything we want to. So the sales tax is going up to 7% and there has been talk of this jerk putting sales tax on clothes too, but now he is considering taxing health club memberships.

Fight Gov. Corzine's Proposal to Tax Health Club Memberships
As part of his proposed budget for New Jersey's next fiscal year, Governor Jon Corzine wants the government to start taxing health club memberships. Take action today and tell the Governor that it is not right to tax healthy lifestyles. His proposal also seeks to increase the sales tax from 6% to 7%. The Governor's proposal sends the wrong message to the citizens of New Jersey. The government should be working to encourage physical activity and healthy eating. Instead, the proposal to create a sales tax on health club memberships could discourage people from joining or remaining members- especially low-income families, which are the hardest hit by sales tax. IHRSA and its lobbyists are working diligently to fight this proposal, but legislators want to hear directly from their constituents. So please take just a few minutes to Exercise Your Rights and tell the New Jersey legislature not to tax health club memberships.Click the following link to take action on this issue.http://votervoice.net/Groups/IHRSA/?Screen=Alert&IssueID=7101

This is absolutely ridiculous! Why would anyone want to stay in Jersey with all these taxes? It is hard enough as it is for a single person who makes a decent salary to afford to live here, let alone buy any real estate. If this shit keeps up I’m moving out, who needs this?

Blockbuster to Fight Netflix Lawsuit

DALLAS (AP) - Blockbuster Inc. on Thursday said it plans to fight a lawsuit from online movie-rental service Netflix Inc., saying the company's patent-infringement claims are "without merit."
On Tuesday, Netflix sued Blockbuster in Northern California and asked a federal judge to shut down the company's online rental service on the grounds it violates two of Netflix's patents protecting how subscribers create a list of desired movies and receive a certain number of them at a time.
Netflix's lawsuit singled out Blockbuster despite similar online services sprouting at other companies, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
Blockbuster, the nation's biggest movie-rental chain, had about 1.2 million subscribers to its online service by the end of 2005, according to the company. Users can browse an online DVD library and are mailed the next film on their lists when a previous one is returned.
Shares of Blockbuster rose 16 cents, or 4.2 percent, to $3.97 on the New York Stock Exchange, while Netflix fell 18 cents to $28.48 on the Nasdaq.

All I have to say, is how jealous is Blockbuster? They can't stand the fact that Netflix and OnDemand are putting them out of business. Blockbuster sucks anyway I remember back in the day, before the fabulous Netflix, they never had any of the new releases or independent films. Netflix rules I hope Blockbuster loses their case!

I have serious issues

ok, so it is 11:58 pm on Wednesday evening and when I should be in bed trying to sleep I'm up on the computer AGAIN. So last night I had another insomnia incident, I was so tired so I went to bed at 9:30 and guess what I could not fall asleep at all until like after midnight! and then of course I overslept and was late to work, AGAIN. WTF, this is insane I have issues. You know that commercial for the sleep medication where they say "can't turn off your restless mind?" that is me, I don't even know what the heck I'm thinking about. I have to be stressed and not realize it. So tonight I decided to take a different approach, I decided I would stay up until I can't take it anymore. So until i pass out on my keyboard I will sit and stalk... opps... i mean browse the internet.

Time change = insomnia

As if I don't have enough problems sleeping already we are suddenly hit with daylight savings time. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that it will still be light out at 7pm now, but it is a rough adjustment for me. Not only was it Monday we had to lose an hour yesterday, so even though I got into bed at 10pm watched Grey's Anatomy and feel asleep soon after 11pm while watching the Flavor of Love reunion special on VH1, I slept like shit. I woke up almost every hour, I don't know if I am sick of going to work, screwed up because of DST, or if I have another issue.
Here it is 11:40pm and I am still sitting on the computer, no wonder I can't sleep. I need to put my ass to bed now! Hopefully tonight will be much better for me.

Can't Take the Heat, Get out of the office....

I have to say that I am a little embarrassed for my actions early this week. I actually got into an argument with a girl that sits next to me at work over the air-conditioning. First of all let me explain the situation. We are in the process of moving into a new office, however we did not get our temporary C-O. Therefore we lost the lease on our old space due to poor project management (but that's another story) so we have about 50 people crammed into a temporary office, working wherever there is a flat surface and a network connection. So with all the people in a tight space it tends to get extremely hot in there especially if the heat is on. So on Monday it was so fucking hot in there I was dying, I get up to look at the thermostat and it is like 80 degrees and the heat is on! I was wearing a sweater and I wanted to rip it off my body, unfortunately I can't sit at my desk in a tank top with a pink bar on underneath. So I complain it is hot and go to put the AC on, this bitch sitting next to me says..."We are only going to leave it one for a little bit cause I am cold". I was like 'whatever'. So it is not cool in there yet and she turns the AC off, I turn it back on, she turns it off again - What the fuck? This happened 3 times and finally I say to her, "Are you messing with me on purpose?" She looks at me all shocked, like what are you talking about? So I tell her "it's hot in here, I'm about to take my shirt off I'm dying , you can put you coat on if you are cold." Then she starts complaining that she is sick and she has a temperature and the AC is blowing on her neck. So I told her to go home if she is sick and she starts yelling "don't you tell me what to do I have work to do!" so you know I started yelling right back and she was like don't raise you voice at me, and kept fighting with me over the AC. She would not drop it, finally I said "Screw you I don't need this, I'm trying to work". Needless to say she still wanted to argue with me, if I was not at work I would of drop-kicked her ass. So I went to my manager and had my seat moved. Not only can I not stand that bitch, it is really hot in there and I am a person that likes the heat and is always cold, so if I was hot it is hot in there! Now I tried to be the better more mature person and apologize, but she ignored me....oh well....it was pretty funny everyone at work was loving it, even I was laughing as she is getting so mad at me.

Tea

I love tea, hot tea, iced tea....you name it. Today at lunch I went to Whole Foods and got a bottle of Honest Tea and they have sayings on the inside of the lid like Snapple. My lid today said "Tea was introduced to Europe in the mid-1600's. By the 1700's, it had replaced beer as the beverage of choice at breakfast." WOW! I must say I would perfer tea to beer at breakfast too :)

Today was the St. Patrick's Day parade in Belmar, NJ.


Although it was a bit nippy outside we walked from my house to 8th and Main St and headed right into the bar. I saw about 5 minutes of the parade, but more importantly I got my picture taken with Guinness!




It was a ton of fun everyone was sporting thier Chaotic Couture St. Patty's Day t-shirts which came out super cute!









Is that Abe Lincoln?

Boy can that Guinness Party!










Oh and mad props to the matching minks! Not everyone could pull that look off!
