ikea! and lena's 21st birthday
Yesterday was quite a busy day (long as well!) in a good way. I managed to spend yesterday morning with kathy as we ran a few errands then hittup ikea. Unfortunately no pictures from ikea (sadface). After ikea kathy's boss, rob had called her to come in early. I met up with him as we had discussed the website I will be designing for his dance studio and what not. It's been a while since my work @ Asian Treasures but I think I'll be able to hold my own on this.
Later that evening, I had decided at the spur of a moment to go down to NYC to help celebrate Lena's 21st birthday. I'm glad I went! I got to spend time with some awesome people (Mari, Erin, Lena, Paulette, Camielle, Sunnie, Ryan, Joel, and Wilson). I managed to get a ride down with Ryan (good looks to ryan for letting me bum a ride). We got proper parking or as ryan said "hey is the difficulty level or rookie?" since we literally parked right in front of the restaurant / lounge. The girls had dinner @ this place called Negril Village. It's a really fancy Jamaican restaurant in West Village.
After dinner, we all headed downstairs for some drinks at the lounge / bar. Let me tell you, those Jamaican's certainly are not shy of using rum. I had a drink called the "Island Tropical Punch" and it was STRONG. After one drink, I certainly was feeling it's wrath for a greater part of the night. Everyone elses drinks tasted really strong, most especially ryan's Jamaican version of a Long Island Iced Tea.
It wasn't long before we all got twisted and headed out to the Hookah Bar called Luxor Cafe. Mind you all that this is the first time EVER that I had smoked in my life. We had ordered three different flavors; melon, strawberry dacquri, and apple. At first when the hookah's were delivered, we were all like "uh how do we use this thing" since the people that actually know how to use a hookah had gone out for some smokey smokey. After a while, we all had figured it out. It wasn't long however, until we've all gotten very tired and it was time to go home. Thanks everyone for a great night!

Me and Paulette Wilson and his "Dance Hall Queen" pwahahhaa Hookah!Birthday Girl!Summer Recap (thus far)... aka whatever the hell I can blabble about right now.
So as many of you may or may not know, I've been working as a student nurse intern at Mt. Sinai in the GI Care center. This has been taking a great amount of my time this summer, however not as bad as you may all think it has been since work is only three days a week. I really enjoy it and to me it doesn't feel like working (minus the getting up part, commuting, and having to deal with the daily traffic). In this program, there are 15 of us domestic students as well as six exchange students from Korea. I've met some wonderful people through this experience (probably some of which will never read this). Oh well...
What else has derek been up to this summer... (for those who may know better than me, feel free to chime in).
Last week, rather a week and a half ago, I spent two days of the week at the beach; belmar to be more specific. It's always a good time to lay out on the warm sand with awesome peoples.For the first time in my life I was burried in the sand, and what better way to get burried in the sand but vertically! It was Kathy's idea to be unique and to bury me vertically in the sand. 
With everyone's help (most specifically her brother) we managed to dig a hole deep enough for me to get into; which was more like a tunnel to China @ my height. After everyone's hard work, we reigned successful (with plenty of pictures to prove it).
The next day was Tom's birthday. He had mentioned in the past that he'd never been to Medival Times before. So what did we do? Collen & I had planned to take him there for his 20th birthday.
Being that he hasn't been there before, why not go all out! Colleen had made arrangements for him to get knighted! Overall it was a good time as always, eating chicken with our hands with pepsi and beer. Unwillingly, our blue knight had lost and the green power ranger had saved the day, reigning victorious.
This past week, I had been home alone and had managed to behave the entire time (parents so proud haha). Work was really what kept me out of trouble. Having 8 days of freedom was always a good time and I've managed to do tons of different things.
Monday: I had met up with Laurence and Drew @ GSP. Thereafter we headed back to the ROC to watch Pirates of New Orleans and dinner @ Stir Crazy. Homeboys spent the night here as we watched Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in my room ("'Driftin... what's that?") pwahaha and then went to work with me the next day.
Friday: I think I played all the golf that I ever will for the 2006 season. Driving range, then mini-golf, and even managed to sneak in a game of laser tag later that night @ New Roc City.
On Saturday was Petey-Pop's graduation party. It became almost like a pseudo Albertus reunion being that many of croonies were all there. I had a really good time actually (minus the weather). For some reason I had managed to find myself hovering around my good friend, senor kegstah!

Sunday was an absolute beautiful day and I'll let the pictures do all the talking.
Overall summer has been great and I really don't want to go back to school, or work tomorrow for that matter haha!

Did You Know...
Thanks Genna!
Did You Know...
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months,enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Do not try this at home. Maybe at work.)
The male pray mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes... lucky pig. can you imagine??)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm........)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(OK, so that would be a good thing....................)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have
sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)
