I kinda have like an unlimited budget so I can get whatever. The problem is I have no idea what I want to get. I mean the basics are taken care of here Ex. Milk, eggs. bread. you know all that standard shit. So it is my job to get all the fancy shit that I eat.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;I am so used to going out to eat almost every day that this whole cooking thing is starting to get to me. Not that I am a bad cook or anything, it is just that I am used to just going to the store getting what I need for the &lt;span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord"&gt;recipe&lt;/span&gt; and cooking it all then and there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;I hope I get stuff I am going to eat because since I moved back home I have been eating less and less because I can't decide what I want. This might sound strange but it is becoming a problem. See in &lt;span class="mceItemHiddenSpellWord"&gt;Gainesville&lt;/span&gt; people would go out to eat and I would tag along for the company and while there would find SOMETHING on the menu I would eat or have them decide on something for me. I wish I had someone that knew what I liked and just put it in front of me and I would eat it but alas it is not that easy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So far I have: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lemons&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gator aid&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;orange juice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;pom tea&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;baby carrots&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;sourdough bread&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sun dried tomorrows (I don't know what my Mother buys but they are weird)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;spinach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;arugula&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;feta cease&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;celery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;mint&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;basil &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;Cyan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mceItemHidden"&gt;So yeah there is my list. Now I will get all of these things and I will attempt to remember what recipes I have to use all of them. The thing is I know that this stuff is going to go bad if I don't use it. So lets hope that I get to cooking up a storm and eating better. I want to start riding my bike around town more but if I don't have the fuel to do so it is going to be really really heard.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-2079740189559723708?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/2079740189559723708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=2079740189559723708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2079740189559723708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2079740189559723708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-need-some-food.html' title='I need some food'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-8109723300411392369</id><published>2008-08-25T18:28:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T20:42:57.618-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2796522047_9cc505a1c1.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 568px; height: 377px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2796522047_9cc505a1c1.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;Hey The DNC is today.

(they keep saying it on CNN)?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are people protesting??&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Is Hillery going to become the candidate and piss the other side of the block off? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When will the just be over?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope that something good happens tonight. I am tired of hearing about the same issues (ones that don't matter). This entire race is ludicrous and I personally just want it to be over so we can start bitching at whomever wins. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It should be kinda interesting to see Miss, "I shop at target" Obama give her speech.  I wonder what she is going to talk about?? The economy?? the war in Iraq? Maybe that thing going on in Russia that no one seems to care about??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh yeah and there is a dude with brain cancer who might be coming you know that &lt;strike&gt;Clinton&lt;/strike&gt; Kennedy.

I kinda forgot about it and woke up to My TV beeping about the F-L-A-S-H-F-L-O-O-D, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Flashflood&lt;/span&gt;. I was a little annoyed since they would not shut the hell up about it and it was like 8:00 and I don't like to be bothered before 9:00 yeah know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the streets are kinda flooded out but like not&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RYXhEjUApO0/SKsh5PWyYTI/AAAAAAAAADM/FmNi_9oeavI/s1600-h/IMG_0806.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RYXhEjUApO0/SKsh5PWyYTI/AAAAAAAAADM/FmNi_9oeavI/s400/IMG_0806.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236316259006701874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;hing that crazy now. It was a lot worse this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It seems that everything is going into the ditch now. Half of the street is alright but the other half is not all that good as you can see by this image below the radar. The other half is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt; tough (no picture because it was a white out &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;using&lt;/span&gt; my iPhone here.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not to worried about this stuff. As long as the power does not go out or a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;tornado&lt;/span&gt; does not come trough my room or something, than I can &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;pretty&lt;/span&gt; much ignore it. This might sound strange to people who are not from the south &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Florida&lt;/span&gt; but I have been tough so many actual hurricanes that this tropical storm BS is nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big deal is when the power goes out like I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;said&lt;/span&gt;. Then it is bad and I start yelling about it. All hell brakes loose. You can't get smokes anywhere, no beer, no &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;liquor&lt;/span&gt; and worst of all THERE IS NO AC. SO you sit in your humid as fuck house and sit and sit and sit and sometimes you go on fun adventures to see what group of people can get the most M.R.E.s in one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah I fucking hate &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Florida&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-5306424049815474251?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/5306424049815474251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=5306424049815474251' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/5306424049815474251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/5306424049815474251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/08/hey-its-raining-outside.html' title='Hey it&apos;s raining outside.'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RYXhEjUApO0/SKsfJxy8qvI/AAAAAAAAADE/Ojx5HSZNLrA/s72-c/untitled.GIF' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-3692700846767330139</id><published>2008-08-12T19:43:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-15T00:06:04.095-04:00</updated><title type='text'>So I stole some music.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3062/2387958361_ae5f3b96f2.jpg?v=0"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 437px; height: 291px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3062/2387958361_ae5f3b96f2.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So I downloaded something like 20+ albums recently. I have been starved for music lately. A lot of them I just trusted my &lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/home/recs"&gt;Last.fm Recommendations&lt;/a&gt;. So this could be good or could be bad. I also downloaded a few things that I just have not heard to much of or some how avoided it. So I think I will have a good couple of days sorting trough all of it.&lt;p&gt;A few albums have been downloaded already and so Far I am in love with the blow's "paper television" because "when your holding me / we make a pair of &lt;a href="http://hypem.com/search/the%20blow%20parenthesis/1/"&gt;parenthesises&lt;/a&gt;".that and they speak french sometimes so how can I resist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also lucked out and got my hands on The &lt;a href="http://hypem.com/search/air%20france/1/"&gt;air France&lt;/a&gt; EP I have been trying to get for weeks now. I have not been listening to it a whole lot tough. I am hoping it snakes up on my shufflle sometime and we fall in love one day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also downloaded a couple full length &lt;a href="http://hypem.com/search/black%20moth%20super%20rainbow/1/"&gt;black moth super rainbow&lt;/a&gt; albums. I have a few singles and remixes that I enjoyed but I don't know if the albums are going to be all that good. Never the  less it led me to &lt;a href="http://hypem.com/search/the%20octopus%20project/1/"&gt;the octopus project&lt;/a&gt;t. I have never herd of them before so i felt it was something good to download as many albums of as possible for exploration purposes.I have listened to a few songs and I have to say I am not that exited but let's give it some time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also broke down and got my hands on that new M83 album that everyone has been talking about so much (and Neal yelled at me for not listening to). I still have not really listened to it much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So maybe I will write some long drawn out review one one of these albums that might save my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I think I am going to take a poop and read a shitty magazine instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-3692700846767330139?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/3692700846767330139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=3692700846767330139' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/3692700846767330139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/3692700846767330139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/08/so-i-stole-some-music.html' title='So I stole some music.'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-2484530515273513888</id><published>2008-07-29T14:11:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T14:52:25.133-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I got invited to brightkite!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://brightkite.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 90px;" src="http://www.webware.com/i/bto/20080428/BrightKite-logo.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Yay&lt;/span&gt;! I have been invited to the location based social networking tool, &lt;a href="http://brightkite.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;brightkite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. After fiddling with it for a few days I have to say I am very impressed with it. Most of the things that I was worried about they seem to have under control. They also do a really good job of having it work without having to use GPS. Here is a little breakdown of the things that I am shore most people are wondering about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PRIVACY &lt;/span&gt;- Privacy is something that is always a concern expressly with something that is going to broadcast your location and what your doing there. The BK team has done a great job of handling this tough. You have two different modes a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Private mode&lt;/span&gt; and a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;public mode&lt;/span&gt; it is extremely easy to turn on and off. The difference between the two is that when you are in Private mode your broadcasting different things to different people than you would in public mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example I have mine set up for when I am in&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; private mode&lt;/span&gt; only my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;trusted friends&lt;/span&gt; can see my exact location, my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;friends&lt;/span&gt; can see what city I am in, and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;everyone else&lt;/span&gt; can not see anything I am doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;privacy&lt;/span&gt; settings is  good for when I am doing things that I don't really want anyone to know about.  like attending a invite only party or posting notes from my home address (something only &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;trusted friends&lt;/span&gt; should know).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Public Mode &lt;/span&gt;is just that it is  public and everyone can see what you are doing. This is good if you are somewhere that you want to meet people.  like lets say a party that is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; invite only or wanting to make a comment on the restraint that you are currently at for all to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this makes me happy because I can still broadcast my exact locations in places I do not want to be found by everyone, to my &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;trusted friends&lt;/span&gt; avoiding that "what are you up to right now" conversation I have almost 50 times a day. While in public mode I can contribute to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;brightkite&lt;/span&gt; community by making comments on public events and places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CHECKING IN - &lt;/span&gt;If you think that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;brigtkite&lt;/span&gt; is tracking your every move your very wrong. It only tells the network where you are when you tell it where you are. Now this can be as vague as the city or even state your in, all the way to your exact street address. When checking in you can make a post about what is going on at that current location. This makes it possible to comment on locations and share it with the community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this a lot. I am not a fan having my every move tracked by GPS for a myriad of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;diffrent&lt;/span&gt; reasons. There are cases where I would not mind telling people where I am at tough. If I am having lunch with a friend and we are wanting to invite more people instead going trough our phones and calling / &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;TXTing&lt;/span&gt; people we can just&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; check in&lt;/span&gt; (in&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; private mode&lt;/span&gt;) and our trusted friends on the network will know what we are doing and can come join us if they so choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MY PROBLEMS WITH IT - &lt;/span&gt;As good as the service is, I will most likely not be using it because none of my friends are going to want to invest in it. For me it is easy as an iPhone user but most of my friends have not caught up with the boom ins smart phone technology enough to have the mobile web. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;SMS&lt;/span&gt; text message system is a good idea but for people who have / can afford a large &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;texting&lt;/span&gt; plan. Most of the people I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;associated&lt;/span&gt; with are not that invested in their mobile technology just yet, not to say that they wont be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;eventually&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I lived in a major metropolitan area like SF of NYC I could see this being a very &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;useful&lt;/span&gt; tool to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;figuring&lt;/span&gt; out what is going on around me. The fact remains that in the present moment I live in south &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Florida&lt;/span&gt; and people are not that interested things like this. More &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;often&lt;/span&gt; than not they just want to be left alone &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;which&lt;/span&gt; is fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can see this service going place in the future but for now I don't think that the mass market will pick it up enough to make it unable to live with out. I am very interested to see what happens when it goes public tough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a few invites that I am willing to give out. I am reserving most of them for people I know with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;smart phones&lt;/span&gt; / huge &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;texting&lt;/span&gt; plans so I can convince them to start using it but I am willing to give a few out to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt; people who would like to check it out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-2484530515273513888?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/2484530515273513888/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=2484530515273513888' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2484530515273513888'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2484530515273513888'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/07/i-got-invited-to-brightkite.html' title='I got invited to brightkite!'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-2778783421005299962</id><published>2008-07-29T11:19:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T14:09:19.585-04:00</updated><title type='text'>My crippled internet life.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://weheartit.com/images/20080714193417.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 243px;" src="http://weheartit.com/images/20080714193417.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Recently I have been unable to really pay much attention the internets lately. I am lucky if I can manage my &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/joecastagna"&gt;social&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://friendfeed.com/joecastagna"&gt;networks&lt;/a&gt;, let alone make a blog post. Things are beginning to wind down tough. I have moved 95% of my belongings into storage in Vero so most of the bulk work is done with. I just need to go back to Gainesville one more time to do some finishing touches on the apartment. Once I get all of this done I will have plenty of time to devote to my RSS feeds and blogging like a maniac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am looking forward to having a little bit simpler life back home. The fact that I don't have to worry about my parentals paying bills as much is a HUGE weight off my back. I'm also looking foreword to going back to school and getting a job so I can afford a lifestyle that I am used to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also now that both of my parents are aware of my activity on the Internet, thanks to Google and the fact I use my name as my username on most sites. I have privatized almost all of my networks. This is something I was hoping I would not have to do but was aware that It would eventually have to happen. Explaining why I am telling complete strangers (vaguely) where I am and what I am doing to a paranoid father has made it difficult to keep things open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the present moment tough the bulk of my blogging will be done on my &lt;a href="http://ydek.tumblr.com/"&gt;tumblr&lt;/a&gt;. It is so much easier to keep frequent (yet very short) updates on there. So if your sad because I have not updated this thing in a week or so, you should go over there. If nothing Else I will have some images and some videos that I found interesting posted there.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-2778783421005299962?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/2778783421005299962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=2778783421005299962' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2778783421005299962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2778783421005299962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-crippled-internet-life.html' title='My crippled internet life.'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-7031008307670940730</id><published>2008-07-01T14:05:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T08:36:45.367-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The iPhone 3G and AT&amp;T</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/06/3giphoneofficialpic10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 178px; height: 299px;" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/06/3giphoneofficialpic10.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://modave.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/att-logo-small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 159px;" src="http://modave.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/att-logo-small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;UPDATE:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It seems that affter a comment made on this post I have some explaining to do. you see I got a little confused here on this little bit of the engadget post:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;iPhone 3G will be available for $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB)&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; for iPhone customers who purchased an iPhone prior to 7/11&lt;/span&gt;, customers activating a new line with AT&amp;amp;T and current AT&amp;amp;T customers who are eligible for an upgrade&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Existing AT&amp;amp;T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;it seems that I (an iPhone owner) will be able to buy a iPhone 3G for $200&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Existing AT&amp;amp;T customers&lt;/span&gt; who are&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; not currently eligible for an upgrade discount &lt;/span&gt;can purchase iPhone 3G for&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; $399 &lt;/span&gt;for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;new two-year service agreement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;All the things highlighted I thought would null and void the part about the buying a iPhone before 7/11. I don't know why they said. "iPhone v.1 useres" or something to that respect. When I was reading the artical on engadget I did read it caerfully but did not understand it very well and I guess I took it the wrong way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to who ever made the comment and brought this to my attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to keep this post up because it does bring up some major issues about the cell phone industry.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type"&gt;&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 10"&gt;&lt;link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CUser%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;/p&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:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;p&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&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman";} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/01/atandt-announces-iphone-3g-pricing-plans/"&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strike&gt;is bull shit. The AT&amp;amp;T iPhone 3G pricing plans are fucked (well for me they are). Since I already own an iPhone (and not eligible for upgrade) I will have to pay $399 ( for the 8 - Gig model)&lt;/strike&gt;. The extra $10.00 a month for the use of the 3G network is not that bad. I can understand that I am going from dial up to broadband here and in turn will have to pay a little more. &lt;strike&gt;The thing that gets me is why I can't just but the dam phone for $199 cancel the service on my old phone and upgrade my plan to the new phone. It just does not make good business scene.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Why should I be punished for already investing in the prior version of the product. &lt;/strike&gt;I am more than willing to deactivate the old phone (well I'm going to jailbrake it but AT&amp;amp;T does not need to know that) and pay extra for the 3G network on my monthly bill. &lt;strike&gt;AT&amp;amp;T is blatantly fucking me over here?&lt;/strike&gt; ... right? ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well being an employee of AT&amp;amp;T once I already know why this is happening. When your buy an iPhone or any phone at that matter ATT (and every other provider) makes you sign up for a 2 year contract to activate the phone. This 2 year contract is the wireless business's bread and butter. They don't make any money off the phones them self's they make money off this contract that you sign. So if you change the contract ATT is somehow loosing money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get you to sign this contract they give you the phone a little cheaper (free in some cases) they screw you with this contract because you can't change it AT ALL, even if you want to make your contract more expensive ( a dumb move if you ask me). So they give you these things called "upgrade discounts" this means that after 12 months of purchasing the plan (IE. Signing the contract) you want to buy a new phone you get a discount (in the iPhone's case $200) and change your rate plan. The catch? Well you have to renew* your 2 year contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So here is the deal if I want to to pay $199 for the iPhone 3G I must hold out for a year, renew* my contract and deactivate my old phone.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt; My other option is to but the phone for $399 and pay ruffly $10 more a month for the 3G network.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I also can just buy the phone for $599 with NO commitment.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there are things that I am not shore about tough...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;b&gt;Are we buying the phones from &lt;/b&gt;ATT&lt;b&gt;, who is buying the phones from Apple?&lt;/b&gt; If the answer is yes, then this whole ordeal would make more sense to me because they are passing the cost of the phone over to the consumer, OK fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;b&gt;. How much does it cost apple to make the phone it self?&lt;/b&gt; Well according to &lt;a href="http://www.macrumors.com/iphone/2008/06/16/iphone-3g-manufacturing-cost-of-100/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; the bill of materials (BOM) is somewhere between $100 - $150 (ruffly).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so lets say that the answer to question one is correct. it is safe to say that ATT is paying $500 for the 8Gig model ($100 less than the no commitment option). Meaning that ATT is taking a hit on selling you the phone for a lower price but making profit off of the contract that your signing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means &lt;b&gt;if&lt;/b&gt; ATT is buying the phones from apple and selling them to me (or you the consumer) then apple is making a $300 profit off every phone sold. Now this BOM does not factor in labor and shipping and all that other stuff so lets say that apple is only making a $200 off of each phone. This makes a lot more sense right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well lets say that we are buying the phones from Apple. Well then apple is making a shit load of money here because they are racing up the prices based on a contract that they are making no money off of. This leads me to believe that apple is selling the phones to ATT and in turn selling them to you and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;the fact is that this whole ordeal is fucked but I am not surprised at all&lt;/strike&gt;. The wireless industry is the most fucked industry in the world and will be for a really long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;So I guess I am going to suck it up and hold on for a year for my iPhone to be faster and better.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life's a bitch, deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Renewing your 2 year contract means that you are signing up for two years of service from the point you sign the contract. &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE NOT&lt;/b&gt; adding another 2 years to your current contract.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;this article is based on info that &lt;b&gt;I am aware of&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;some&lt;/b&gt; research I did and posted the links to.

If you don't know &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Vero&lt;/span&gt; is what I consider my home town. My parents technically live in ft. pierce but almost on the boarder of ft. pierce and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;vero&lt;/span&gt; beach. I never really spend time in Ft. Pierce so I might as well be from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Vero&lt;/span&gt;. Never the less I am here for the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like coming to visit here sometimes it's relaxing and I can eat real food for free at my mothers house. It gives me some time to get the hell out of dodge and sometimes I even get to see some old friends of mine that are in town at the same time as I am or are still unlucky enough to still be living here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The town has changed a lot since I left in the summer of 05 I have always visited fairly often and even moved back for about 3 months in 2006. Every time I come in to town tough there seems to be something new or different. Trees planted in places that never had trees, a new strip mall, a development that has been in construction for the last 5 years is open to the public ( and a friend of mine is now living there). All sorts of strange shit goes on in this town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This place mainly is a haven for rich retired  people. There is not much going on here for people in my age group and for the people younger than me there is even less ( at least I can drink legally). Growing up in this place was very interesting to say the least. Watching it grow into what it has become today has been a real trip. I remember when half the town did not exist when the mall was not even here and they just put up a wall-mart (it was pretty exiting at the time) Now all the places that I used to be so fond of are going out of business, out of business, or have changed owners and become no where near as good as they used to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was younger I hated living here and could not weight to get out. There where times when it was fun to live here but most of the time I was just trying to figure out how to get drunk or find something to do besides "hanging out at so and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;so's&lt;/span&gt; house". I am shore this is how a lot of kids who live in the suburbs grow up but I felt it was even worse in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Vero&lt;/span&gt;. I now realise it was not to bad of a way to grow up there are most defiantly worse places to live than here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pace here is just two slowed down for me now tough. It is a beach town so most people are all about "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;chillin&lt;/span&gt;" "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Relaxin&lt;/span&gt;" or "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;hangin&lt;/span&gt;" which is nice for a little while but I need to be doing shit or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Else&lt;/span&gt; I start going crazy. I need action, I need noise, I need a fast pace or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Else&lt;/span&gt; I end up going to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never the less this is where I grew up and it holds a strange small place in my heart. I could never see my self coming back here to spend my life but The city has molded me into the person I am today. I am not shore if this is a good thing or a bad thing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-490235198755261045?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/490235198755261045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=490235198755261045' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/490235198755261045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/490235198755261045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/06/so-i-am-in-vero-beach-for-weekend.html' title='Spending the weekend in vero.'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-1138561567724454443</id><published>2008-06-25T18:56:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-25T18:56:00.643-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I should be painting.</title><content type='html'>I should be painting right now but I am not.

Mostly because I have not been feeling all that well also the fact that no one is reading my blogs. But I am going to try and change that now. I totally rethought my whole blogging technique. I now have two blogs. This blog and my &lt;a href="http://ydek.tumblr.com/"&gt;tumblr&lt;/a&gt; which I am going to start using as a &lt;a href="http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/39621223/ok-that-is-it"&gt;mini blog&lt;/a&gt; instead of a main blog that has a bunch of my social network feeds posted to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see I had this whole Idea about how I was going to automate my blogging, It was exiting but it did not work out it just resulted in a &lt;a href="http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/34843504/has-this-blog-become-a-junk-yard"&gt;junkyard&lt;/a&gt; of information that no one cares about and if they did can get via different avenues. Now you can get this blog from ether site. The only feed I kept going on YDEK is the blogger feed because people may not want to migrate to here. So really my tumblr blog is "the wasted youth plus a bunch of smaller posts and MoBloging. So it is up to you how much of me you can handle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-1653776795359508822?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/1653776795359508822/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=1653776795359508822' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/1653776795359508822'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/1653776795359508822'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/06/untitled.html' title='Hello again.'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-1509729455283239907</id><published>2008-06-14T17:57:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T17:57:13.865-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I am using flock now.</title><content type='html'>So I am now using the flock browser and am back on blogger.

Now let me tell you I had a great new years eve and what not. I did not go to the dance party in Brooklyn but i did get to hang out at this girl Kelly's small get-together (thanks to my friend adam) and fell in love with her and all of her friends (girls that good looking that can hold a conversation with me for more than 10 minuets when I am near black out drunk do not live in gainesville). &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RYXhEjUApO0/R31ar4BRZTI/AAAAAAAAABA/YoYa1VKAQrM/s200/15150024.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151373258600310066" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I some how managed to not make an ass out of my self in front of my lovely host (I think her name was kelly??) and her friends. This is quite an achievement because I drank &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;a 6 pack of Sam Adams winter logger and was chugging jack denials and cha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;mpagne straight out of the bottle.

Doing the the show all the alcohol I drank was quickly sw&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;eated out of my poor thanks to ludicrous dancing with about 500 people who where WAY more drunk than I was. It was most defiantly one of the better shows I have attended in my life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All and all the entire week in NY made me want to move back and leave as soon as possible all at the same time. this is it's normal effect on me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So tomorrow I will be talking about something besides my self because I had a good 3 hours of reading time on the plane and I made some pretty interesting notes on somethings that I hope your already talking about (and if you not than you should be) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-8148212640922177295?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/8148212640922177295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=8148212640922177295' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/8148212640922177295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/8148212640922177295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2008/01/im-back-from-new-york-guys.html' title='I&apos;M BACK FROM NEW YORK GUYS!!!!!'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RYXhEjUApO0/R31YBYBRZRI/AAAAAAAAAAw/WESvlVnHQfs/s72-c/15150017.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-2757433533013573953</id><published>2007-12-30T17:53:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-31T00:33:14.235-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music life links'/><title type='text'>HOW IS MY TRIP TO NEW YORK, HUH?</title><content type='html'>well I am surviving my New York trip pretty well. I have been to the city twice 1. The "west west west Houston we have a problem !!!!! Broadway!!" (staring: Joe Castagna, Jon Ericson &amp;amp; and Trucken Dan. (pix xoon)) and 2. Going to the bodies exhibit with my cushion lavon and her B/F Drew. Both of which where a pretty big blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been organizing my music blog life with the discovery (and RSS subscription) of about 20 - 30 more blogs and i started using the personally unappreciated  &lt;a href="http://www.hypem.com/"&gt;Hype Machine&lt;/a&gt;. So 2008 I will be on the fucking ball with shit that is going on with the musics on the internets (if I can manage to keep up with all of it). All of witch I will be informing YOU the reader (all 2- of you at this moment) of anything I feel fit to print.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING FOR NYE .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be attending the 2:00 am &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/lessavyfav"&gt;LES SAVY FAV&lt;/a&gt; show at the &lt;a href="http://www.boweryballroom.com/calendar/show/986/"&gt;Bowery Ballroom&lt;/a&gt; with my long time friend whom happens to be a girl Jamie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a slight chance that I might also be attending the &lt;a href="http://www.bigstereo.net/"&gt;BIG STEREO&lt;/a&gt; Y2k8&lt;a href="http://newyork.going.com/invite-19283"&gt; dance party&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqTUSU25L1k"&gt;Silent barn &lt;/a&gt;in Brooklyn. This plan is very on the rocks because I don't think that the compony I will be with will want to listen to "loud annoying beepy bangy dance music" for four hours. Also timing with the 2:00 LSF show is a little iffey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with all that aside I will have a full update of what the hell I did with maybe even a few pictures  (of NYE and the 1st adventure in NYC) up. So if your reading this (which I think that your not) and you like it and maybe even want me to write more yah iknow you should like leave a comment or something K.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-2757433533013573953?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/2757433533013573953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=2757433533013573953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2757433533013573953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/2757433533013573953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-hell-am-i-dong-for-new-years.html' title='HOW IS MY TRIP TO NEW YORK, HUH?'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238954971743299960.post-3591541892889333986</id><published>2007-12-26T00:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-26T00:46:03.483-05:00</updated><title type='text'>YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK!!!</title><content type='html'>I spend a lot of time on the internets and I find things that most people don't so I feel alone in my knowlage. This blog is an attempt to share the things I am learning every day and for me to have an outlet to brodcast my opinions. I hope that you readthis and leave comments e-mails and if (you actuialy know me) understand what I am thinking about most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will also be writeing snippets about things that are going on in my life but unlike my previous blogs that will not be the main ellement (at least this is the idea right now).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am kinda starting from scratch here. Altough I have had several websites in the &lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20050212024502/www.thefusionnetwork.net/cup/"&gt;past&lt;/a&gt; a lot has changed and I have forgoten a lot of the things that I learned back in the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So as a new year comes so with this project. I hope to soon get some webspace and start a network of sites up again amied at sharing information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's get started.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238954971743299960-3591541892889333986?l=thewastedyouth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/feeds/3591541892889333986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238954971743299960&amp;postID=3591541892889333986' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/3591541892889333986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238954971743299960/posts/default/3591541892889333986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewastedyouth.blogspot.com/2007/12/you-know-what-i-think.html' title='YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK!!!'/><author><name>Joe Castagna</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107944708935420216208</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rVLyvcmUn6Y/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAABNM/WYobO-ZchKY/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
