_____.: THE PILLOWS :.____________________________ A block off of Bleecker Street, three European guys standing beneath a blue & white awning smoked their cigarettes. The awning said `Piano's`, and inside, past the bar and the open-mic room, some 50-odd people rocked out to the imported tunes of The Pillows. Two of those people were me and Cassie. [EDIT: Yes, this mean that Cassie and i saw The Pillows live in NYC on Sunday... plus the tickets were only $5. ]

For all you CRMS-ers out there, here's another Glen Gretsky update. Glen's still in Iraq with the USMC, but he says he should be home by September, and back in NJ by October, so that's great news! This past week, Glen saw his first combat. To summarize, he was in one of two helicopters flying 28 men [ 14 troops in each helicopter, plus 4 crew in each helicopter ] toward the Syrian border in the night when they encountered a trio of cars. They approached the vehicles to investigate and, as Glen's helicopter made its final landing approach, the enemy opened fire with AK-47's. Glen returned fire with a .50 caliber machine-gun. As the pilots of the two helicopters took evasive maneuvers, an RPG was fired. Luckily, both helicopters escaped, and Glen destroyed one of the enemy vehicles. If anyone would like to contact him, Glen's military email address is: GretskyGP@3MAWDM.usmc.mil Here is a picture of Glen in Iraq: [link]. Please keep him in your thoughts.

Those seemingly benign surveys you find in LJ's can be dangerous, even making brothers and sisters mad or sad. So, in lieu of posting my own personal survey like everyone else, i'm going dispense with the subtleties of carefully engineered replies to each question in order to imply an underlying message, and just come right out and say it: Attention Everyone, i love Cassie. i love her more than anyone has ever loved anything, ever. Thank you, Andrew Kozak

Okay, Spring Break was like last week... or two weeks ago... or... oh hell, i don't know when is when eheh. This is a rushed update chock full of notes, points, and event reports in no chronological order so that i don't fall into a bottomless pit of LJ-absence (where i would promptly die of starvation). Hmm, that's a good segue: Teen Girl Squad -- Cassie and i showed all that is the wonders of Cheerleader and her pals to Bex and Craiggles over Spring Break. TGS rules. Anime -- Also over Spring Break, Cassie chipped away at the mighty stone that is my anime ignorance by showing me the Mahou Tsukai Tai OAV and the first two eps. of Saber Marionette J. i really want to see the rest of Saber, and Mahou Tsukai Tai was AWESOME! i want to make an AMV that opens with the falling brooms at the end! AMV -- Speaking of AMV's, as soon as i get Adobe Premiere and a whole lot of free time, Cassie and i are gonna make a Princess Tutu AMV to Smashing Pumpkins' Disarm -- it's just BEGGING for it! Cassies ... Cass-i? -- So i met Cassie ( Michigan Cassie ) and she's really cool. She was kinda sick though, which sucks... hope she's not allergic to the East Coast... anyhoo, Mike and MI Cassie invited me and Cassie ( <3Cassie<3 ) to join them at ACen in a week or two. We're totally going as long as <3Cassie<3 doesn't have any finals that Friday. Neither of us have been to Michigan... it should be jawesome hehe. "Of Cons and Cosplay" -- Totally stoked about ACen and/or Anime NExt and/or Otakon cosplay! Screw it -- cosplay in general! On deck we've got Resident Evil, Mahou Tsukai Tai, Tuxedo Gin and MUCH MUCH MORE! :c)!!!! Gotta get some cash flow and get started!!! Cash Flow -- So yeah, i did the whole "try to get that awesome job at Monmouth Park Racetrack" thing again this summer, with the same results it seems. The boss there said he'd call me if he needed me, and he hasn't called me... ergo... But, c'est la vie, i'm going to apply at Tronix this week or next. i think that'd be a pretty cool job :c). Schools -- Still chillin at OCC, and, by "chillin", i do mean "looking for a way out"... i applied to SUNY New Paltz... they're giving me a hassle... *loads gun* And in other side news... Yeah it's gone... but i clearly have not lost my strength: Kozak != Samson. PS -- My girlfriend r0xz0rz and you know you're jealous. Cassie is awesome. QED.

As many of you might have guessed, that last post was a joke. i didn't break up with my girlfriend, and i most certainly am not seeing some girl named " Juli ". In reality, " Juli " is my girlfriend, Cassie, all " gothed out " as part of an inside joke we had. You can all think of this as being a test to see who's paying attention... gotta keep you guys on yer toes ;c). Now, if putting up a joke-post about my fake g/f gets me so much attention... i wonder what a real one would do? Hmm... This is Cassie, my real girlfriend. She's beautiful, smart, talented, has seen all the classic movies like Super Troopers and can quote from said movies at any given moment, can beat me at Soul Calibur II [ and probably you too! ], she totally pwnz0rs at video bowling, loves under-appreciated bands like They Might Be Giants, Aqua, Savage Garden, and Toy-Box, puts up with my long tangent-ful stories, makes the best sandwich known to man, and all-in-all makes my life wonderful. :c)</b></center> ps. i got you ALL! A-ha-HA!

i know my LJ is usually only geared towards the funnier side of my life, but i figured that since i don't get to talk to a lot of you as often as i'd like, that i should probably use it for important news too. That being said, many of you know that i was dating a girl from New York named Cassie. Well, we're over. The details aren't really important, but we're not together anymore. As far as dating goes, i guess you could say i'm "seeing" someone. [ No KozMack jokes about my quick turn-around times, please ] Her name is Juli and here's a pic in case you guys see me in the mall or something with "some chick" and wonder, 'Who's she?' That about wraps up the latest KozNews -- further bulletins as events warrant them.

In the words of the Tej: "i think any two adults should be able to get married, and the government has no business trying to define what love is." Right on, Chris. That being said, what can we do? Well, first, anyone who's reading this has no excuse not to sign the petition at Million for Marriage's website [ link ].

Current Music: Alkaline Trio -- I'm Dying Tomorrow Subject: the subject and the entry have remarried...___S<3E 4VR!!! Time: 02:11 am Current Mood: a-pasta-eating-mood

This is a double update; two stories, and they both have to do with Brian O'Neill. So, Brian, if you're watching, this one's for you, man! //===STORY 1=== Today, in Physics lecture, i was trying to tell Kyle Kelly a story i'd obviously already told him at least once. Somehow that story morphed into a completely new anecdote which i will now relate. Now, this conclusion comes before we left class, but only slightly after Kyle suggested that the best way to determine if i was, in fact, allergic to strawberries, was to go immediately home and to eat an entire pound and wait for a reaction. So, with that said::: brinoceros ('brI-nah-ser-is) noun 1: the sound made when a rhinoceros breaks into a classroom through the chalkboard with Brian O'Neill on its back. //===STORY 2=== Now, if that first one didn't get you... this one probably won't either so you should stop reading now and just take me off your Friends list because, baby, you and me weren't made to waltz together... Okay, so last spring, at Stevens, Pat Nolan, neighbor to Brian O'Neill and me, developed a habit of stealing my webcam. While i was in class and he was talking to Brian in our room, Pat would snatch my cam and see how long it took for me to realize it was gone. A clever game... the first 3 times. After which it lost some of its... flavor. So i started telling Brian to tell Pat to watch out because i was "planning something". Pat's paranoia was amusing for about two weeks, but it died off. Then, one afternoon, while Pat was at Design Lab, an idea hit me. i consulted with Brian O'Neill and, within 10 minutes, Brian and i had removed every object that Pat owned from his room. We took the contents of his desktop, his lamps, his shaver & charger, his printer & paper, his books from their shelf, his clothes from his drawers and wardrobe, his shoes, his baseball bat, his sheets and pillows, and even his mattress ( which we hid, standing on its side, behind our door ). We took everything... everything. i must say, hearing Pat come back and open his door, and then scream, "What the ****!!!" at the top of his lungs was one of our finest moments at Stevens. Pat eventually found us out, and called in a favor with the Campus Police to have them come in and interrogate us. WINNER: Pat. [ Don't let anyone say i never know when i'm beaten, and this time it was pretty clear. ]

Subject: Always Coca-Cola... Time: 12:59 pm

Three days ago, the cold and sandy paradise of Al-Asad, Iraq became home-away-from-home for Lance Corporal Glen Gretsky, USMC. For those of you who know Glen, he's currently a Crew Chief on board one of the USMC's CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters [ more info ], which is basically a heavy troop-transport. His job is to direct the two pilots while taking off, landing, performing winch lifts, etc. In Glen's words: " It's like I have a voice-activated pilot -- I tell them what to do, and they do it. " If anyone would like to send him something, you can reach him at this address: L/Cpl Gretsky USMC HMH 466 Flight Line UIC 41101 FPOAP 96426-1101 Every few days, Glen can get online for a few minutes from the Army base in Al-Asad. If you want to reach him online you can email him at kysgod@seanbaby.com, or IM him on AIM, his s/n is AFrayedKnot33. i know everyone has their own opinions about our presence in the Middle East, but i'm sure that those of us who know Glen will keep him in our thoughts regardless.
