I haven't posted in a while, but honestly, nothing that exciting has happened. My sister got a teaching internship at a high school just south of Boston, so she is living with me until December. She moved in last week, which is pretty cool. We haven't lived in the same house since we were both in high school in CT, so its nice to spend time with her. I leave her little notes around the house that say "Dear Katie, if this place isn't fucking spotless by the time I get home, you're OUT. Love, Craig" So she knows I appreciate her.
My new truck is pretty rad. I go on Sunday drives to parts of MA that I've never been to before. Last week I went to a farm/winery in Ipswich and bought some dandelion wine, plum wine and raspberry wine. Plus some fresh veggies and herbs. It was pretty great. Year round, they have different fruit pickings, ie, apple, raspberry, corn (not a fruit I know). Right now is blueberry season, but you know what? Fuck blueberries.
On Friday, the guy below me threw a huge party. Beer pong, flip cup, kings, the works. Its been a long long time since I went to one of those parties and while I had a killer time, it made me miss the Pittsburgh crew and the balls to the walls-ness we all can bring. Some white-hat dude on my flip cup team starting calling me Paulie so that stuck for the night. I called him Fenwick. We're BFFs now.
Then yesterday I got my first tattoo. I love the fucking thing and want more. I was pretty nervous going into it, but once I sat down and the needle touched my skin I was fine. Its the anticipation that kills you more than anything. I went to a small tattoo shop in Cambridge, and while I probably wouldn't go back to them if I wanted a picture or something, I got text and it turned out great. The tattoo guy said I did pretty well in the chair, as in, I didn't flinch much. He said when he saw me that he thought I would "puss out." I am all that is man. Click on the link to see the picture. And my awesome pit hair.
Well now that I write it all out, I guess I did do a lot of things. |

I just sold my car!! I'm super excited right now. My car was awful, just a shit box. As in Hans Von Volkswagon ate a ton of peanuts and corn and shat in his loafer box and then molded it into a vehicle. A vehicle I purchased in 2000. Here are some details:
- 1994 VW Golf, Manual, 132k miles
- Passenger side door doesn't open from outside
- Hatchback doesn't open at all
- Rear seatbelts do not function.
- Needs new exhaust system and front brakes
- Oh and 4 melted crayons on the passenger seat.
I've been trying to get a new car for a few weeks now, so I posted on Craig's List at 3pm today and sold it at 6:30 tonight. Yes! $350!! Hahahaha. (Dealerships told me I could get maybe $100 at an auction for it, but it costs that much just to take the car there...)
I'm buying a new 2007 Toyota Tacoma on Saturday. I've already put down a deposit on it. I'm super stoked, as it's my first new car ever. Epsilon is coming up money lately. |

I met Bill Belichick today. I shook his hand and said, "I'm with the Steelers but good luck this season." He laughed at me and then got into his Camry. |

| Best Of 2006 |
[Jan. 10th, 2007|11:16 pm] |
Yeah, this took me a little bit longer than I thought. It comes down to laziness. But here it is, so do with it what you will. The Arctic Monkeys song is only on there because of the lyric "Theres only music so that there's new ringtones." I love it. They got some ridiculous hype in 2006, not really deserved, but the album did have some choice lyrics that only sarcastic, cynical and cocky 19 year olds could write. For that reason alone I applaud them.
Craig Rudewicz's B.O. 2006
I start my new job on Monday and I'm excited about it. Its something completely new for me and its definitely a step up from me. I think it gives me about 4% more adult-ness. And for me thats a huge fucking step. Although, just today I was cleaning up the coffee table and found an old scrap of paper that I had written "poopies" on for no apparent reason and I giggled. I think that deducts adult percentage points from my average. But fuck it, poopies is some funny stuff. I'm laughing now.
Ok duders, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm going to go watch Can't Hardly Wait. Oh yea.

Hey all. Its been another long while since I did this. Too long actually to fill everyone in on the fun/fucking-stupid/professional/crazy/boring things I have done in the past few months. But this is exciting and you all should know about it:
+ Just found out I got a new job today. I'm going to be an IT Auditor, which means I go into offices and test the security of the networks there and recommend how to make them more secure. I actually know how to do this a little, in case you were wondering. What this means for me is regular 9-5 hours, no weekends and a HELL of a lot more money. I'm fucking stoked about it. I start on January 15th. Plus there is some travel involved, mostly around the country but just last week they had a job in Puerto Rico...
+ Trying to get myself more structured. I've lost sight of some things but I think I can correct it and I'm on my way.
+ Compiling a Best of 2006 mix for all of you. Zack, we got yours the other day and I must say I agree with all choices. Kudos on the liner notes blog. I'll probably be emailing mine out because I don't have many cds left...
+ I will say this though, The Hold Steady's Boys and Girls in America is my favorite album of '06. It's fuckin rockin, and while there can be some criticism said that there is an unusual trend of new albums sounding like Springsteen throwbacks, I think its WAY better than continuing on with everything sounding like Franz Ferdinand/Killers/dance-new wave-80s-80s-80s-glampop. Seriously, "Citrus" has everything I want in a song about drinking: sexiness, desperation, love and a good sense of fluid drunkeness. Its perfect.
Later fuckers.

- I've been listening to my iPod on shuffle a lot recently. Not sure what that means, but everytime I do, "I Adore Mi Amor" by Color Me Badd ALWAYS plays. It's weird. I enjoy C.M.B but out of the 3500 songs I have, how does that one song constantly appear on the playlist? I should speak with the iGod I guess.
- I've been listening to Liars second album, They Were Wrong... I remember reviewing it for the station and hating it, but I really like it now. I want to go back and write another review. I think its underrated, and it's actually really great noisey stuff. I went out today and bought their new album, I hope its good.
- The job has been OK. Real busy lately, and sometimes I think people doust themselves with douche before coming to check in just so they can be extra annoying for me. But my friend there got promoted to manager so my schedule will be pretty nice soon because he likes me the best. I get paid well and for the past few months I have not had to worry about money at all. I do what I want and buy things when I want them (that sounds so rebellious!) so its nice. I've met a good group of people there and we hang out a lot. I'm still the "indie" boy to them with weird interests but overall their collective sense of humor is something I can mesh with. I mean we started talking about outrageous sexual positions like The Dirty Sanchez and The Walrus, and I brought up the Shrinky Dink Shit Mask. Nobody spoke for a minute but they laughed. I think they're embarrased to find it so funny. God, that night we made that stuff up was ridiculous.
- Like she mentioned, Allison and I are looking for a new place to move into for June 1st. We're definitely going to find a bigger place which means that the next get together should take place in Boston. Yes, I'm lazy, I don't want to go anywhere. Fuckers.
- I've also decided to cut out all meat from my diet. Not much of a change as all I eat now are fucking Cheezits and apple juice. Is there a specific name for that? Cheezitarinism? Yea, that's what I am. I OWE MY LIFE TO BIG CHEEZITS. |

Three 6 Mafia Pimp Out Oscar for Club Access
Members of Oscar-winning musical group Three 6 Mafia are 'pimping out' their Oscar around Los Angeles in order to gain access to the hottest nightclubs. The rappers, who won Best Original Song for "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow, have made their Oscar statuette an official member of their entourage. The rap group rolled up to hot spot Lobby last Thursday and were told only four people would be allowed per table, because the club was already crowded. One of the group's members pulled the statue out of a paper bag and asked, "This little man count?" A source tells American publication Us Weekly, "Mr. Oscar sat on prime club real-estate, neatly placed on the centre of the group's table, surrounded by gazers observing that glowing complexion in awe."
They carry it in a paper bag. That's the best. |

[Feb. 12th, 2006|10:27 am] |
So yes. I did. Real drunk.
Allison and I went out with some hotel friends where we were wupposed to go have some drinks and then go ice skating in the Boston Commons. We did one of those things. I didn't eat anything all day and then I just drank and drank and drank.
So about the almost killing a baby's momma...
She works at the hotel with me and we've hung out before, she's real cool. She jumped on my back for a piggy back and I started to walk across the street like that. In the middle of the street I tripped on my own feet and threw her from my back into oncoming traffic! She landed right in front of a cab and I fell flat on my face tearring my jeans and ripping my knee open. She's alright, no cuts or anything, but I have my knee, a small cut above my eye and a fat lip. It's amazing. I felt awful but she got right up and ran, but she was laughing which is a good sign. Let's see if she talks to me on Monday.
Dead baby mommas are not good. They need to stay alive. |
