I'm currently working on everything. INcluding this blog. For the past few hours, I've been keeping some of my typos. In what I write that is.

Random Boredom

Life, , , , , , , ,

So this post is really random. I not really in the mindset to speak my mind and life but ya know, I’m bored.

I should update this more often because the more I update, the more ppl’ll actually read this, and the more incentive it’ll give me to update.
I guess its nature to want to have ppl read what you write, to feel like your everyday life has some meaning behind it. That’s why blogger and the like is so popular. “Reality Reading” I guess.

Anyway, when it comes to music, I’ve been hooked on ‘kast (Aquemini mainly) and Jay-Z (Blueprint). Outkast is just fucking tight. I just rediscovered that lp and been blastin it for like 3 weeks now. Return of the G, Skew It On The Bar-B I should just list the songs I’m NOT fond of: Mamacita (the chorus is too annoying as fuck), yeah that’s about it. If you wanna check it, get The Art of Storytellin’ (1 or 2), or SpottieOttieDopaliscious.

Jay-Z. I never really heard him and I was all prejudice against him cuz of Nas and shit (& the shit that I did hear wasn’t that good). But on the way up to the retreat (more bout that lates), Arash was bumpin’ em and I was took in. If you wanna check it, get: The Ruler’s Back, Takeover, U Don’t Know or Heart of the City (or Song Cry if you want slow shit). But yeah. Takeover aka the Nas diss… DAYAMN that was good. Ether was better but yeah I felt that.

If you’re into Reggae and THAT scene, check Pato Banton-My Opinion. VERY Trippy. And you can’t go wrong with Radiohead-Knives Out

So what have I been up to these past 2 weeks? More of the same. Work, chill, sleep. But since bridge is comin up (THIS WEEKEND WTF) work’s been busy. Last Weds, we kicked it all off with CPR and 1st Aid training. So yeah, if you’re ever chokin around me or something, I know what to do. Laugh like crazy The next day we (office staff and ATCs) went to Julian (nice mountainous naturey area) for a retreat full of big ass houses, pies, bonding (like a bigass suitemeeting), and non-sleeping. The place we stayed at was basically a fucking huge ass lodge/house kinda thing (held us 29 ppls comfortably) with turkies in the back. It was real tight, cuz its like I gained 20 some good friends overnight. After that, its just been preparing for bridge. OASIS is all busy with us, MSTP, SMP, CI and everyone else up there training, preparing, chillin, etc.

When it comes to chillin’, I’ve been doing more of the same. Been spendin time with J, Ed, Ashley just chillin at home; every once in awhile, Derrick, DJ (Ashley’s bro) or Juan’ll come up and we’ll all chill. One time, Derrick, his cuz, Ryan & Larry came and we had a nice lil’ time (see previous post). Too bad I passed out kinda early tho haha!

I’ve also been tryin to chill with Adry here and there; everytime we do we have a GREAT time. I guess abscence does make the heart grow fonder… even still, it sucks that we can’t even spend a single, full day together. Fuck all that curfew shit. Its like she’s in lockdown or something…

Oh yeah, I’m almost finished with my room now. Well, not really, but at least I got a desk and my comp set up. I got most of my shit moved in and situated now, but I still need to get some drawers and a couch. And no, my room is NOT big enough to hold a couch comfortably, but nevertheless I’m still getting one. I’m still not really happy with it, but oh well I can deal.

So yeah that’s about it. I should update more often, but I don’t cuz like my room, I’m not really comfortable with this site yet. Oh well. Imma get a new comp (Powermac G5!!!) and I’ll start fixin this shit up… like I keep on saying.

If any of you all read this, hit me up sometime, I like fraternizing with my friends. Lates.

ikea.

Life, , ,

So I’ve been back home in SD for awhile now. Almost a week? It’s been pretty cool, all I do is go to work, chill there, come back home (or pick up Adry) and chill. Not much else. One tight thing is that we got a new big ass bong that’s a lot better and bigger than our old one. Its nice takin hits from that, passin it, then hittin your own personal joint… One thing tho. My room is hella small. I brought in my desk from home, the large wooden one. Between that and my futon, 60% of the room is taken. So yeah, after work today (which is where I’m at now), imma go with adry to pick up a smaller desk at IKEA, some paint for the walls, and maybe some other cool stuff (I already picked up a rug from there). Later on, imma get a small couch and shelves and drawers and shit. Gonna be a little cramped, but I think it’ll be aight in the end.

IKEA is a tight ass store. The way its set up and everything is really unique. For those of you who’ve never been, lemme break it down. Its basically a huge ass furniture store. What makes it cool is that instead of having all the furniture just “out there” on display, IKEA instead opts to use a lotta mini showrooms to display the stuff in situ. Okay, so its not that cool, but I just went there for my first time the other day and its pretty amazing. Oh and the fact that it has a fucking restaraunt is pretty insane as well.

Work ain’t bad either. All I do is file, alphabetize, file, file, make posters and alphabetize then file. Normally, I woulda quit a job like this hella quick, but since this job is at OASIS and I’m interning for Bridge, its been tight. Cuz basically, I do all that boring stuff like 50% of the time. The other half is all talking chillin etc with my co-workers. And even when we do work, we’re still talkin and listenin to music so its all good. Can’t wait till bridge tho, that’ll be a trip.

So yeah. I’m typin this up in the Center Hall mac lab cuz I still haven’t hooked up my comp. And I gotta go, time to clock out.

Piece!

Bitching

Life, , , , , , , , , ,

Well I was bored again so I decided to read other ppls XAGNA’s (intentional… its funnilier) And I noticed that a lot of ppl were complaining about stuff. I haven’t really complained about anything on here for awhile now so I feel left out.

Yesterday I was sad because all of my friends back here at home suck. They go on with their own lives, and since I’ve been away all year, this going on doesn’t really include me. I felt left out and sad. Luckily, my girlfriend is hella cool and cheered me up. I love that girl she’s cool.

Um… yeah. I also complain about AOL. It sucks and always tries to be slick and kick me off. It pisses me off when I’m trying to get some of the songs I was talking about earlier from Clockw0rk (IM him!) and AOL is bitchy and says “No!” and proceeds to either kick me off or ask to kick me off. wtf I’ll TELL you when I wanna get off ok? And besides, just because I don’t wanna use the crappy AOL browser doesn’t mean i’m not doing shit! Blah! Grr! (although I do understand AOL does that because its #1 ISP in America and kicks you off to reduce stress and shit). Blah!

I also complain about the crappy cell service I’ve been getting recently. When I first got the cell, I had full bars. Now, I struggle for 2. WTF. This makes talking to said girlfriend very difficult and leads to many cut offs and hello? hello? are you there? hello? exchanges which waste my precious minutes. And no, I’m not on cingular, I’m on ATT, so bad service is NOT in the contract. In fact, we’re with ATT because they said that service is always wonderful. Fuck that. One time, it said I was fucking ROAM ing wtf. NO! I wasn’t! F that S! Blah!

Okay I’m done complaining now. So now, there is a reason to read my blog, other than my normal “I do nothing” kinda stuff. I hope all those who complain about stuff (with good reason…most of the time), somehow find a way to make it so you don’t complain and your dreams come true. That would be wonderful, and then instead of worrying about relationship problems (which accounts for 90% of the complaining… reasonable cuz I used to complain about that too sometimes), we can start anew our effort to end world hunger. The world would be perfect and everyone would be a machine. Today I told clock to say “Too Short” because ppl think its cool. Cammy says “Too Short” when she wins, and it doesn’t really make any sense. Then again, Cable says, “Pushed TOO far” and that is kinda silly as well. Oh well, so be it. I would normally insert a crazy White quote now (White is a japanese sf player who posts crazy engrish on SRK forums), but I am not on my computer and do not have complete access to them. So instead, here’s a nifty (!) quote that has some VG relationing.

“If video games, like Pac-Man for example, influenced kids, then they’d all be running around in little dark rooms, munching white pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.”

Pancakes On Sunday

Life, , , , , ,

So yeah I’m sitting here doing nothing. “We” (who?) couldn’t ressurect the infamous Shin Chia Pet so I decided to blog about it or something.

ANyway, I’m going back to SD in like the day after tommorow so all you so-cal ppl, “hi, how are you doing? Come to my home and sit down for a chat.”

Yeah… that’s about it. Hopefully i’ll have internet at my new home so I can post more things that only 1 (2?!?!) peoples read.

A cool song to listen to is Pancakes On Sunday by Beret. Don’t look for it on Kazaa tho, cuz its not called Pancakes On Sunday. I made that name up, its track 1 of some cd maxi (why are they called maxi anyway?). And the title would probably be in Japanese. Or French. So yeah nevermind. But track 3 and 4 are good too (4 is called Blue Skies but not really. I don’t have 3 yet, but expect a non-name soon).

Damn… I’m typing all fobby. Have a nice day and remember that “I will win, not you!”

Summer’s Here!

Life, , , , , , , ,

Damn… no new comp till August… but hopefully it’ll be this beauty www.apple.com/powermac/ Pricey, looks weird (i guess it grows on you) but is much too much overpowered. Not like I’m gonna be using it to its full extent, but hey, why not? Anyway, I’m back at home (707) and figured that since all I do here amounts to nothing at all, I’d start blogging again. So what’s new? A lot.

  • Back in SD, me, Ed and Justin have a house. Yes, a house, backyard, garage and all that. Sucks tho, cuz ALL of the $ imma be making this summer is goin straight into furnishing it and bills and all that good stuff.
  • School’s out for summer. Haha, like you didn’t know that.

Hmm… I guess that’s it. Oh well. So yeah, I’ll be updating again for all zero of you readers out there. Who knows, maybe I’ll use my 56k of bandwidth to the full extent and start making a real website.

Then again, probly not.
