Word Press

Out of Curiosity i decided to go to the wordpress blog and i just cant over the fact that its better than blogspot. The reason why i stopped using that thing was because it kept fucking up on me but i remembered i downloaded firefox and tested to see if i was having the same problems and no i wasnt. Sooooo in that case it looks like im going back to wordpress. Sorry for these switches. I'm sure you will manage. O and about 2gb more upload storage than here so im down for that too!

Hit that shit up!

Snow!!!!

Damn so i guess my wish came true haha. It's actually snowing but even better, theres almost about a foot ill say. There's still little specks dropping so thats dope. MThigh is closed, I can't drive anywhere (the gym), there's no TV so all i can do is do the internet thing and update the blog. I took a couple of pics of the snow. Not much though. I didn't want to take it out so it wouldn't get wet. Here we go....

This was just like a quarter of the snow that fell.

Never thought i would see this sight again

Wish i had one of those to fuck around in the snow.


Picture of the day. Thats the neighbor's across the street. They ended up building something else. I think it was an igloo. No joke! haha. I like how the background looks.

What i wanted to build was a ramp and jump to board on and there was enough snow to make it. Its just that i didnt have a key to the storage so i did everything by hand and ended up saying screw it as a grip of snow was coming down and was getting late. If i have time im gonna try to finish it up so i can hit it up already.

The pic is kinda wack but i took it from inside my garage so the snow doesnt hit it. That's all i had so far. Now its probably covered by the new snow. It was almost rideable too!

Here's a winter story for you. Once upon a time when i was building a ramp and told my sister to take a picture of me testing it out, the garage closed (ironically when she came out) and locked us out. We had no key, no windows were unlocked and we were just out in the cold. So my sister ended up kicking open the blocked doggy door and (somehow) fit through it to open up the door and save the day. What she didnt know was that it was my fault the garage closed because i forgot to lock it in place when i manually opened it haha. O well. But Fuuuck man ridiculous how shit happens. Imagine if there was no way to get in? My parents arent even home yet because of all the troubles of going home since the 14 is closed and the metrolink is delayed. The first thing i did when i went inside was look at the cross and say thank you Jesus haha.

Hopefully the TV gets back on cuz theres so little i could do on the internet right now haha. If its still snowing tomorrow ill update with a round 2.

Roselyn Sanchez

First time i saw Roselyn i was like Got Damn. Shes one of those people that look like they get hotter as they age. Love Her

Classic NBA

How clean is his signature shot?



I miss NBA on NBC and the theme song.

Snow?

Supposedly there's gonna be snow today. I'm down! But its not gonna be like the OG snow Palmdale used to get back in the day. Thats the snow that i want!

• Today: Periods of snow. Cold. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds NE at 10 to 20 mph. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.
• Tonight: Snow this evening will give way to lingering snow showers late. Low 23F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 2 to 4 inches.

I wanna board! Fuck being broke!

Shoulda Lean

Not much goin on just enjoying my vacation. The thing i hate though is waking up in the late afternoon. I'm trying to get to bed earlier but its hard as hell. So i wake up and go "Damn, my day is half over!" I definitely need to have my days longer so i can enjoy the break a little more. Other than that i've just been hitting up the gym consistently after like 2-3 weeks of skipping the gym because of thanksgiving, finals, and other distractions which turned my mentality into laziness which skips more days haha.

While i was doing my side raises in front of a mirror i saw my shoulders poppin and i love it! haha. I think im starting to take a liking to working them out as they look pretty dope and gives me that bigger shape. Hopefully i can keep doing the gym thing without distractions (Except for Christmas) and just get buff nasty which is my original plan haha jp.

Speaking of Christmas, im pretty excited for that shit. I can be such a kid when it comes to Christmas and have all that crazy Christmas spirit. Haha call me lame but i don't care!

Jerilee & Some girl

Some girls with tats are hot as hell but when it comes to me i don't like it when they overdo it. But here's 2 girls i do adore with some tats.

As always, Jerilee is hot. I like the placement of her tat on her leg.

I don't know who this girl is but i saw her on one of my friend's myspace. This isn't overdoing it to me. Shes just fuckin hot haha. Pierced and tatted titays? Down!

Ahhh Christmas Break

Sorry for the late update. I just been lazy to update this thing since i knew it would be a little lengthy with stuff i did over the week but i'll just try keep it brief.

Last Tuesday was 1 of many procrastination days as i didn't study at all but instead headed to my friend Gerard's dance recital thing (RANDOM!) which was i guess his final for ballroom dancing class. Gerry was there so we chilled and took pictures and video's of his cousin doing his swing thing haha. Before he performed there were some yawner dances like interpretive, wack ballet, and some other ones. But i guess i just dont find it fascinating cuz i don't appreciate most types of dances. Anyway, when Gerard performed it was pretty neat. I like swing music and i always thought the dances were cool but there was something he didn't have. That swing feeling! I have a couple videos but ill just show pics. I haven't really had time to get used to my camera so some might be a little wack.

They were out of focus because i used the burst shoot mode. I'm sure he liked that move.

Like i said, he had no swing feeling. Why so serious?

After that me gerry and gerard wanted to eat and out of randomness we ate sushi. I wouldn't have gone but Gerry offered and volunteered Gerard to get my back on that one. Thanks!

I was thrilled to eat my favorite type of food!

What's even better was that we got to drink since Gerry knows the people there. No card. Saki Night!The game was on but they lost that one

My favorite sushi (Dynamite Roll). But it wasnt that great at that place. Big Tuna all the way

So the next day was more procrastinating but crunch time as well. I distracted myself most of the night by going on the internet and watching the laker game and some other things. I ended up staying up all night and all day (finals day) for nothing through 3 cups of coffee, 2 cups of hot chocolate, and a mcdonalds ice coffee, and 2 doses of creatine. But i managed to get through everything and now its just the waiting game to see what grade i got. I'm kinda paranoid on what i got. Especially in chemistry cuz that shit was hard as fuck.

Last night i got Photoshop Elements 7! I have no idea how to use it yet but i will once i fuck around with it. I love the new look than the old school photoshop i had. It was so exciting i had to tell fil haha.

Finally Done. Peace

Awareness Test

I was reading my philosophy book and it reminded me of this video i saw before.



Back To Studying. I'll update fridayish. Most likely ill be knocked the fuck out today after finals.

Fall Week 16

Last week of school. This is probably where i would usually say finally but it didn't even seem agonizingly long this time. If i had a choice, I would actually be down for a longer semester to get my grades up lol. I definitely have to study this whole week which means no XBOX and cutting my internet time in half haha. I say that because i know im gonna end up using the computer every day. But for now i wont bullshit with time hopefully and get my things done to pass this struggling semester. I might not even update for a couple days. I gotta FOCUS. But as usual, i'll see what ill end up doing.

Just to be random, my dog was freezing in the house since she got shaved so i let her take over my bed for a little bit.

She was knocked out.

As Expected

De La Hoya lost. The height difference wasn't even bad at all and De La Hoya is just too old and too slow to be fighting Pacquiao.

Family and my sister's friends came over to watch it. When it comes to Pacquiao fights, shit goes crazy. Family goes crazy and my parents probably get the most exercise ever in their lives from just cheering haha. Of course i had to take some pictures!

It's always fun hanging out with this kid.Everyone preparing for the bout.De La Hoya Lookin SlowThe crowd goes wild.After De La Hoya quit, my dad wanted me to take a pic of him with the flag. The guy!

This is an idea of how some of these get together's can be like.

Cheering for Pacquiao from Brent Enriquez on Vimeo.


And this is what its like when the guy they cheering for wins.

Cheering for Pacquiao 2 from Brent Enriquez on Vimeo.

I would have recorded things in HD but i felt that it would take up too much memory and would be a bitch to upload it.

After all the excitement i decided to take a random pic as i was sitting on my dining room table.

I think im getting better.

-Brent

I Got It Babeh!

Finally got my camera and so far im lovin it. It's not an SLR (which i would love to have) but it is the next best thing. The hard part is just learning how to do all the stuff that it can do but im slowly getting used to it. So for now nothing looks that dope but im trying haha.
I went out to eat some Korean BBQ with my sister her boyfriend and their friends and for $18.95 all you can eat u know i gotta get that! Then i headed to Best Buy and Barnes n Noble for some browsing.

Without further ado, here are some pics from my day. Trying to figure out blogspot and pictures too haha.Christmas Tree is all decorated and ready to go.

Starting to drink this everyday. It is sooo delicious!

Korean BBQ was delicious as well.

Tried to make a fancy angle shot lol. By the way...Hundreds is huge!

This was the pic of the day! i actually made something look kinda dope!

My Favorite Store

Definitely more pictures in the future. Stay Tuned. Pacquiao fight tomorrow! or should i say today.

I Hate Presentations

Again its the weekdays and not much is going on right now. Tomorrow its guaranteed to be my turn to do a 5 minute presentation on something that could reduce prejudice and i hate being in front of the class to speak. It's nerve racking! But i guess i should start getting used to it now because its speech class in the winter. Fuuuh.

Some good things happened though. Lakers won after a wack loss last night! Kobe baby! I hope he can be MVP again. Even though the team is fully loaded with good players. If its not him its gonna be Lebron or CP for sure and no one else.

I thought i lost that shit but i found my gym pass! Happy about that because i wasnt down to have to reorder one and use my id to get in only 3 times. It was another stupid moment by me because it was on the table in the dining room which is the place i didn't look and where i put all my stuff at last time i came home from the gym when i had it. O well i found that shit!

I was tracking my camera on the UPS website and it is en route to palmdale tonight which means ill probably have it on time tomorrow! Excited right for that! If it comes before i head out to class ill take that shit with me so i can play around with it during my long gaps in between classes.

One more day of class and its Pacquiao weekend! I think ill study for finals ummmmmm next week.

Oh yeah and check out that girl on fils page on Karmaloop. Boooommmb!
-Brent

I looked at my calendar today

And noticed that i have only one week left in the semester! Time sure goes by fast as hell but im down! Finals week next week though so that means mad studying (maybe). I'm just ready for my month break before winter class starts.
Finally headed to the gym after a week break because of thanksgiving and just wanting to chill at home because it felt so good and i feel out of shape haha. I think i had a glimpse of what Jean Claude Van Damme went through when he stopped working out and his body went into a depression. So i cut things a little short since i was exhausted and rolled out home.
I'm a little mad though because the Lakers knew they had the game won but got too comfortable and ended up losing at the last second. I couldn't believe it but i hope thats a lesson to the team. And also, the Clippers lost as well when they were leading the whole game by like 2 points. They can never close out a game but at least im seeing some progress ever since the trade happened.
Anyway enough NBA talk and ill talk about nothing else because nothing going on right now haha. Peace

Olivia Munn

I was watching Attack of the Show! (great show on G4TV) today and almost forgot about this girl. I'm sure the co-host banged her haha.

Malaya Lewandowski

I'm still watching the MYX channel and saw the cutest girl right now. I just had to post her picture up! She's one of the personalities on the channel and it makes me just wanna watch whatever show she hosts haha.

She reminds me of Vanessa Hudgens but hotter.

Gettin Jiggy Wit It

Nothin going on with me except a speech i have to pull out of my ass for psychology. I'm watching MYX channel right now and they showing old school videos and i forgot about this one. Loved the song when it came out.

The Technology These Days!

NFL to broadcast Chargers-Raiders game in 3-D next week

Audiences in New York, Boston, and L.A. won't just be watching the game—they’ll be in the game, or at least that's the idea behind next week's invite-only 3-D demo.

The Wall Street Journal reports that three movie theaters—one in each city—will be wired for 3-D projection, while the NFL will lean on 3ality Digital to shoot the Dec. 4 contest in 3-D. The broadcast will be downlinked to the three theaters via satellite, and yes—viewers will have to wear special glasses to get the full 3-D effect.

As the Journal reports, the NFL shot some footage from Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 in 3-D, and viewers watching clips tried to "crouch down to catch the ball," one NFL exec bragged. But that footage was taped; next week's game will be shown live.

So, are we talking the beginning of live 3-D broadcasts from the NFL? Well … maybe. NFL execs are telling the Journal that next week's 3-D game is a "proof of concept … we want to demonstrate this and let people get excited about it and see what the future holds." 

What about tickets for the 3-D broadcast? Sorry, football fans; next week's event is closed to the public. If you know someone in the industry, now's the time to start kissing up.

Cardboard Figure Causes Standoff

How hilarious is this though?  A big commotion just to find a cardboard cut out haha.

Full-size cardboard figure causes NJ bank standoff

Fri Nov 28, 8:07 am ET

MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A standoff at a New Jersey bank is over after police learned a "person" seen inside was actually a full-size cardboard figure.

Officers went to the PNC Bank in Montgomery Township on Thursday night after an alarm went off. They saw what they thought was at least one person through the windows of the bank, which had its blinds drawn.

The area was sealed off and three nearby apartment buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Meanwhile, authorities used bullhorns and made telephone calls in a bid to make contact with whoever might be in the bank.

After repeatedly failing to get a response, a SWAT team entered the building and discovered the cardboard figure.

It was not immediately clear what set off the bank alarm.

Setting up a Christmas Tree

My mom wanted to decorate early for Christmas and make the house look nice before the family comes over for the holiday.  So i ended up putting together the Christmas tree.  I wish we had a real one but there are pros and cons between a real one and fake one and a fake one takes the cake.  Now setting up a tree can be complicated so let Brent walk you through it. (pretty bored while doing all the work.  Sorry if the pictures are huge and cut off.  The blogger upload thing is fuckin up so i ended up posting the code)

Step 1: Open Box

Step 2: Put on some music to keep you sane

Step 3: Sort out the millions of pieces

Step 4: Put the pieces together according to Letters and colors.  When you suck at expanding the branches, get your mom to do the job.

Step 5:  Repeat the process until everything is put together

Step 6: When you and your mom disagree with where the tree should be placed at, go to your room to end the conversation.

Lol no idea why i posted this but im pretty down for Christmas to roll through.  Dim Sum in like 7 hours! Good Morning!  But good night in my case.  Sleepy as hell. Peace

Black Friday Successful

Thanksgiving was aiight.  I stuffed myself with a big ass turkey leg but i was disappointed with the variety of foods that were available lol. There were barely any.  But the highlight of that day was winning a poker game and coming up 30 bucks richer for Black Friday shopping.  So add that to my dad's 60 and i get 90 and it was unexpected to get that much to spend.

I'll be honest and say that i hate waiting in long ass lines and/or lines where it takes forever to move but in the end its all worth it.  I ended up rolling up to best buy at 3:30AM and thanks to my PSP, i was entertained the whole time watching  Four Brothers.  The funny part is that i didn't want shit from Best Buy because the stuff i wanted was from Office Depot but i waited with my sister and her boyfriend anyway.  Something that i always see every year are cheap ass Asians who are in the front of the line (Who are the people who camp out since thanksgiving morning) that grab EVERY voucher they can get their hands on and then try to sell it to people for some cash.  Sure it's cool to get extra cash but cmon.  There's people trying to get a voucher that actually wants to buy the particular item.  I remember there was this one fool who tried to sell one of his vouchers for $100 to an old lady.  The Fucking Guy!  

Anyway at Office Depot it opened right when i got there and grabbed the 2 items i wanted

SanDish 8GB SDHC Card for my camera for $14.99

Seagate 500GB FreeAgent Desk External Hard Drive for my computer for $69.99

The checkout line took FOREVER but i can't argue with those prices.  At the end of shopping i was sofa king tired and i pretty much just woke up right now.  Good day to shop.  Camera where you at!?

-Brent 

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is the feast! I'm pretty down for it but not at the same time because i have a feeling ill be bored again at another family party.  Actually i will probably be more annoyed than bored because of all the wild kids running around being annoying.  They like it when i hang out with them but for me they overdo it and never leave me alone and don't get the picture that i just want to be left alone haha.  Its cool though its what i always have to deal with and i guess im used to it. I hope my cousin's boyfriend brings the xbox and rock band 2 because i would be down to play that the whole night until it ends because ive been wanting to rock out on that for the longest time.  But im sure all the kids will raid that shit and start wreaking havoc on the equipment.  lol wont be my stuff!

It's almost 2 right now and at 6AM, the usual people are gonna play some ball which i really want to do but 6AM THOUGH!  I don't remember the last time i woke up before 6 and i don't want to now because that is too damn early.  I've been aching to see how i'll play because ive been working out but id rather get more sleep.

And of course to end my night its time to stand in line around 3 or 4 (which i really don't need to do for the things im buying) for Black Friday.  First stop the greatest store Best Buy then i dunno after that.  Hope i manage to get some cash money for at least a memory card.  

O and out of randomness buy these shits!

Sour Patch Candy Canes - Delicious!

CD's I Listened to over the week

I like all of them.

Kanye West: 808s and heartbreak - Currently bumpin this CD more than the others because obviously it just came out.  Its a new sound which is pretty dope and Kanye is singing throughout the album which makes it even better.  I'm sure its winning an award.

Favorite Song: "Heartless"

 Robin Thicke: Something Else - The CHILLEST CD out of this whole list.  Robin Thicke is just being himself and doing the R&B thing using Jazz, Disco, Latin sounds.

Favorite Song: " Ms. Harmony"

  Lupe Fiasco: The Cool - Dope CD from dope ass Lupe.  Cop it.  I like every song except for one of them.  I forgot what its called. 

Favorite Song: Really don't have one.  They all good.

   John Legend: Evolver - Leezy's came into this album with a new sound as well and it took me some time to get used to it.  IMO it's not as good as the first 2 albums but this is still pretty good.

Favorite Song: "Everybody Knows"

 The-Dream: Love Hate - I think this album has been out for a while and i'm disappointed at the fact that i didn't get this album earlier.  It is really chill and The-Dream is just catchy as hell with some songs.  The random sounds he makes makes the songs dope haha.

Favorite Song: Can't decide between "I Luv Your Girl"and "Shawty is Da Shit".  "Luv Songs" is cool too.

 

 T-Pain: Thr33 Ringz - I'll be honest and say that i hate hearing this guy's voice in every other artist's songs but if he is alone or someone else is being featured in his song its something i would prefer.  There's a couple annoying songs on the album but at the same time good ones. 

Favorite Song: "Can't Believe It"

This is one reason why..

I hate smoking lol.  Found this video i made from a while ago.

Predicting a Chill Week

I say that because it is so far haha.  Only had one class on monday and one class today because one was cancelled.  Then tomorrow i might have one class as well because tennis is going to be rained out.  After that its just a lab and then no school the rest of the week.  I need this damn break!  Then thursday of course is Thanksgiving and its my favorite holiday for grub!  My aunt makes the BEST yes I repeat the BEST turkey and gravy EVAR!  And there's just some other bomb food.  Can't wait for that.  Saturday is lunch with the Enriquez fam at China town for some Dim Sum which i haven't had in ages!   

Friday i might not be hitting up the stores for Black Friday because I am completely broke from buying....

This Bad Boy!  A (ill just copy and paste the name) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K 10MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.  No Idea what most of that shit means but in other words its just dope haha.  When i saw the price, the reviews, and approval of someone who knows cameras, i just had to grab this.  No i didn't decide on a TV because that shit is expensive.  I only had 220 and the cheapest TV that i wanted was 449 and would have to come up with another 229 in 3 days so i was like fuuuk it camera it is.  An SLR was around that range too so i couldn't get that.  This is just the next best thing.  It's originally 399 and i got it on Amazon on sale for 277.  I'm pretty damn excited to get this shit delivered!  So get ready everyone, pics coming your way! lol.  Actually maybe ill hit up the stores on friday.  Kinda need a memory card now haha.

This week i've just been hanging out with the little guy who left tonight.  Aww but yay because he is so hard to watch.  He's so...i cant think of the English term but i'll just say malikot (Tagalog). 

Jaiden

In conclusion its gonna be a chill ass week haha.

I'm watching Leno right now and just heard a hilarious lame joke from Cheech. "A Skeleton walks into a bar and says give me a beer and a mop.

Lol peace

Back To BS: Take a look outside

Ok so Wordpress didn't work out so well. I had too many issues with it. Pictures uploaded too slow and using the whole site was slow for me. There is a limit to how much you can upload (3GB) and i know im gonna upload a gang of stuff and would want things to stay there in the future instead of having to delete them Sometimes toolbars were missing and yeah id rather just use this. So here i am and back to business. I changed the url so get that down if you want. O and as for the random blog, ill just put all that here into one blog and label them so i deleted it. The stupid thing is that i made the random blog because i didnt know i can make labels and well i can and itll be easier to focus on one blog. I'll try to put pictures in every post to make things a little more decorated.

I just came back from the gym so i could catch the Clipper game later. Yes even though they have a horrible record, it is still early and there is hope for them to come up in the ranks. Most especially i want to watch this one because of the recent trade that happened.

We'll see if Zach Randolph can make a change. I think it will. I see him as filling elton brand's spot.

Anyway, please tell me you guys have looked outside and saw the dim sky due to clouds. Have you felt the coldness yet? I have, well at least in Palmdale. Hope u guys looked at the forecast for the mountains because SNOW IS COMING (supposedly)! 

From the Mountain High Website:

"Opening Day Is Coming Soon!! 
New snow is expected this Wednesday followed by extensive snowmaking.  We now plan to open some time during the Thanksgiving Holiday so please keep in touch with us here for the latest info."

That means of course the new season is just around the corner and its time to start waxing your boards, buying your gear, getting those roof racks on the vehicles and get ready for some snowboarding (or skiing). The issue i have though when it comes to this season is money (as always). I need some pants and the poitns lift ticket (1000pt which is like 189) and well i have no cash for that. Right now i DO have like 200+ but its all going towards black friday and i definitely won't miss that. But o well this was the case last season and i managed to have a good season. Gas prices better stay low! If they do then i'm down to drive a little more this time haha. 

The Ninja is Ready Lol

Eh..

Forget the results of the props. its been somewhat of a while since they happened and well im just not down to review of what passed or not. Moving on...

i promised to talk about that one pondering post from before but i decided to just leave it at that. I'm not lazy or anything. Its just something to just keep in mind in regards to how i am like right now. I seriously have changed a little bit and I find it to be a constructive change. ill just leave it up to you guys to either figure it out or just chill on the subject.

Last thursday was just lazy ass thursday. I ditched my chem class which would have been an hour longer on that day and AGAIN my philosophy class. I think thats the 4th or 5th time i missed it but oh well. It all comes down to the final anyway.
Friday was a trip down to the valley to celebrate my mom's and the baby Xander's (my little second cousin?) and then saturday it was sushi time for my dad's birthday.

Sunday, awkwardly my sister, her boyfriend, their friend, my half brother in law (lol), my dad and I all headed to the gym and i gotta tell you, my dad is the worse person to go to the gym with haha. He has a routine that i tell him to follow but he doesnt want to do it and ends up doing random workouts. Sometimes he doesnt even use a machine right and just looks dumbs. He was also running back and forth across the room for some odd reason. Anyway, my brother in law was benching and i thought he didnt need a spot and then he struggled and my dad called for me when he was RIGHT NEXT TO HIM! haha. But then he decided to help spot but he lifted from the SIDE of the bar (WTF!) instead of behind the bar (Where the spotter usually stands) and the weights fall off the bar and almost onto my foot. After that he said "Whats wrong with you?" haha the guy!
Since im on the subject of the gym, here's another ridiculous story. I hit up the 24in Lancaster to check it out and man that shit busy and there are a bunch of naked ass old guys in the locker room. But thats not the ridiculous part. There are also more big ass fools there and there is this one guy who's arms are huge who asks me to spot him. haha me though! This fool was lifting 100+lbs dumbells and doing shoulder presses. On top of that, he was getting people to record him with his phone! haha. As he was doing his set he struggled at 6 and i had to you ALL my strength just to get that motherfucka to do his last rep. That shit was ridiculous. Yeah ask the small guy to help spot you. Fucking Guy!

The job hunt isn't going so well. With this stupid economy, its hard to find one. Either that or im in competition with a grip of people trying to get the same position. I applied to numerous places and no luck at all. I don't want to say im gonna wait it out until another time since thats what i would usually do. I'm still determined to find a job but its just too damn hard. But I believe in my boy Obama to fix things so that people would not become unemployed and more jobs would be created. With the economy fixed, the stores could keep expanding (CMON BEST BUY TO THE EAST SIDE LOL) and i could work for them. I'm sure itll take time though. In the meantime the hunt continues.

With the subject of life, I'd say im just trying to chill right now. I feel like im just being the same Brent that I was in highschool but more wiser, stronger, and mature. The difference between now and then is that im just not letting shit get to me. As usual im just trying to live life with less problems as possible. One way for now is just staying clean. Staying healthy. I stopped smoking for a good while now which was originally supposed to be because i was looking for job but now my attitude about it is just not doing it at all for even longer. Like right now i don't think i can even be around it. I just feel good about myself. I feel changes ever since i havent done it as i feel more active to do shit and my stamina has increased. I think if i ever come back to it, I will definitely be using less and only at times where life just gets me down or im just stressed the fuck out. No more times of just smoking for the hell of it or just because im around friends or at a party or something. I know one thing though...eventually ill be completely done with it someday.

Im thinking of switching to Wordpress since it looks cleaner than blogspot but i dunno we'll see. Maybe if I get a camera and start posting pictures lol.

Somewhat of an Absence

Yo guys. I know ive been on a roll with updating but it just had to end sometime. I just really havent been in the mood to update this even though ive been having some shitty days lately. I won't really get into it so ill just leave it at that. I'll explain what the last post meant in a little bit but meanwhile heres a recap of events from the past and present.

Thursday (30th) was an up and down day. I hate thursdays as it is the LONGEST day to have classes and just anxious as hell to just get out. So i usually end up leaving early or not even showing up to my last class at all. I don't remember the last time i actually stayed throughout the whole class time but oh well. By that time I just zone out and can't keep my mind focused and i would just say whats the point of being here if i can't listen. Anyway, you know that test i definitely thought i bombed? turns out i got a C fuckin -. Down for that! Teacher was lookin at me like im an idiot for cheering for that grade but i don't give a fuck! I was hoping for a D at least and C- beats that shit anyday! ha. Then after i just bounced to celebrate haha.
After that shit i was expecting a call from a friend so we can watch Saw V together and she didn't pull through. I know what you are thinking, why dont you just call her? Well she doesnt have a cell phone and calling house phones arent my thing and theres some other factors as to why i dont call her house phone. So yeah she didnt hit me up. Even when she said FOR SURE she will. Now i don't know what the reason was but i just hate those kinds of FLAKES! Those who say For Sure or definitely and etc and not pull through. I'll admit im a flake at times but im not someone that says yeah ill go and not go do something. I would usually say "ill see" or "I don't know yet". I also felt stood up as it was supposed to be a semi-date (it was my intention lol) which brings me back to the COUNTLESS times that has happened to me and trust me there have been COUNTLESS times! It also brings me back to times where ive been MAD led on which well...gets my hopes up and find out it was just a waste of my damn time. So the movie was a bust and just knocked the fuck out.

Halloween. The party holiday (for teens and older) and the day everyone could wear a costume without being called a freak or weirdo lol. It is my favorite holiday! NOT! Honestly i could care less about this holiday. I find it to have no meaning and it doesnt matter if i party or not or do something at all. I mean its cool to have fun on this day but i treat it as a day i usually chill with people. I already had my day planned and i went with it and that was gym and then home just like any ordinary day haha. Didnt seem like Halloween at all as i left as it got dark and got home when all the kids were done trick or treating.

Saturday i headed down to the valley for my uncles birthday at this chinese restaurant called Mandarin King that had some bomb food. I thought it was just a small family gathering but it was a good amount of people to fill up the party room. Pretty much i just hung out with the family and talked to my other uncle most of the time about what hes up 2 and what his plans are when he gets a job as a nurse (then working his way up to be a doctor again). He mentioned his top choice so far is Palmdale (hes been to Palmdale for my bday and looked at some of the model homes) and i told him i agreed with that. I told him that in my opinion, that i see Palmdale better fitting when it comes to raising kids. There are good schools around here, crime keeps constantly declining it's being well developed and maintained, brand new houses are cheap, and honestly, the drive to the valley to see family is not far at all if you think about it. In my case im just broke as fuck to pay for gas to head there. Its a quiet environment and its just a good place to live. I wouldn't have said that a couple years ago but times change and I see Palmdale like that now. It'll always be home to me but right now im just trying to GET OUT haha.
Speaking of Saturdays, I do not know the last time i had a saturday where wasn't at a family event. Its been about birthdays all of october and visiting family and all that and still there are plenty of events to come for the future Saturdays (Baptism, Thanksgiving, Family Visits and more to remember). I just want to chill one saturday haha. But i guess the upside to it is that i get to see the nephew who i can't get enough of. That kid is just too great.

Sunday i just chilled with a couple friends for a little and then hit up the gym then went home to start a paper but ended up knocking out haha. I'm supposed to do that paper right NOW but na ill do it the day before like most papers i do. Procrastination bay bay!

FINALLY! i submitted my application for CSUN! I swear i thought my mom was holding back on me but she randomly said to submit it and she'll pay for the fee and went right on that to get it done. I'm pretty excited to see what happens. I keep hearing that they definitely will accept me but you never know what will happen. Maybe affirmative action will keep me out haha. Even if i am accepted, theres still a few classes i need to take and PASS which will be a bitch as usual but with my knowledge of me being accepted i think itll make me work harder.

Today history was MADE. I'm glad i actually got to witness it. If you don't know what im talking about, you should just shoot yourself right now haha. Obama is our president and pretty excited to see what he can change in this country. The election was NO CONTEST at all! McCain got handled haha and i knew it was going to happen. When you think of all the advertisements for Obama, Musicians saying to vote for Obama, the fact that everyone is concerned with pulling out the troops from Iraq, and the idea of another 4 years of Bush if Mccain is elected, u definitely gotta consider the odds in favor of Obama. Voting kinda stimulated me today. I felt like i did something i should be proud of and well it paid off.

Its 2:30AM right now and sleepy and i think im gonna crash right now. School tomorrow (sigh). I'm not done with my input on the results today but ill talk about it on the next post and also about the last post. I'll also update the Random Blog since i have a couple things in mind. By the way, 43 hits though! haha thats more than what i had in mind (like 10). I'll update whenever i can. Might not be tomorrow since i gotta finish that damn paper.

Yeah

I Think its Time

I need...

A FUCKING JOB! Asking money from the parents is something i really hate doing. The worst part is when they say they have "No Money" and then i can't do shit but stay home being a broke ass while other people do things without me. The MASSIVE search starts NOW!

If u are thinking of going to 24hr fitness...

NEVER go at 7! That shit was paacked! I couldnt do shit for the first 30 minutes. It was just a bunch of waiting around. Treadmills and Ellipticals were covered and i as well as everyone else doesnt like the bikes. They were the only things not being used in the whole gym and i was forced to do my warm up on that. It was pretty wack waiting for the right weights to be returned (or not returned at all) and also waiting for the tricep pulldown (which i didnt even get to use because there were so many people on that shit i didnt get the chance.). With the frustration i had it was all relieved when i saw this one cute girl doing squats and i dunno what it is but that shit was hot haha. Nice ass body too! I love the gym.

Note to Self: Buy Dial Soap for Men. Smells so good it makes me wanna slap my mama. It's like a clean shave but on the hands haha.

My 4 Day Weekend

Yeah its been a while but I do have somethings to say these days. Pretty bored too so it might be a little lenghty.

I'll start it off with the subject of working out. I think im beginning to feel like a gym rat or whatever you call those people that go to the gym everyday haha. I love being there and havent felt lazy about going so far. I go like 5-6 times a week and the days i don't go, i feel anxious to go. I dunno what it is but i just feel real good after a work out. I think i just need something else to keep me busy as its the only thing i do besides school.

Friday i chilled with a few friends and i thought of something when it comes to me and the way i am around them. I was cool just being myself and having fun but i noticed im only like that when there is only a small group of us. At that time there was only 4 of them and that was just chill. On Sunday it was almost everyone and i was just being kind of an Outcast or just quiet and all that. So I guess its something about big groups that get the best of me and thats still something im trying to figure out. Haha im weird but hey everyone has their own shit to feel weird about.

Anyway I ended up smoking even though i felt bad after but come to think of it, i have a feeling that no one is gonna hit me up for a job as the holiday shopping is coming closer and closer and i think i have a bad rep from my old job at the UPS store. I really didn't do anything bad (except this one time when i sent a package when it wasnt supposed to be sent yet [i didn't see the note]) and its just a long story of problems by the end. Just letting you guys know...Korean Boss's are so wack. Good luck if you are working for one haha. I think next time i fill out applications im just gonna leave that out and just say i have no work experience. I know people that got jobs when they never worked their whole lives. The fuck is that shit? haha. I'm still trying to stay clean just in case but whenever its around me i just get tempted to do it again. O yeah i did on sunday too! damn...

Saturday i headed to the valley for my dentist appointment and got my cavity fillings done and i guess they have to do 2 more. I think those are the ones that fell off from back in the day. When i came in i read some of the signs they had and was just laughing to myself cuz they were pretty ridiculous. One of them was charging people $50 for no shows and the other one was charging people $10 if they are irritable, angry, and etc. I find that funny because its hard not to get mad there. Sometimes when i have appointments i end up waiting 1-2 hours to get my name called and sometimes when people add things to teeth like say braces, they would fall out on the same day and would have to go back or make another appointment which could take up to 2 months. If they charge me $50 for a no show they should get slapped because they are lucky someone an hour away is doing business with them. Anyway on with my day haha. Me my mom and my dad ended up going to my cousins house and i rolled with him and his homies to The Hundreds and some other stores and bought me a shirt. Looking at all the stores made me want to go on a shopping spree! but unfortunately theres always a money problem haha. After that i went to my uncles house for his birthday and that night was going chill until i started talking to people in front of The bitch ass Rat in my family.

Let me introduce you to The Rat. Its my cousin on my moms side who i thought would be cool to talk to and share stories of somethings in my life and all that since well she's my cousin but no she's someone who wont keep her mouth shut and tell my mom EVERYTHING i tell her. Let me tell you about her life...she's an OT and grew up never having a boyfriend and invades other peoples lives by being a nosy ass bitch. The only friends she has is family members. She thinks she's looking out for me at times but no she just makes shit worse and doesnt understand how people are these days. Like this one time when i had friendster and other people could read testimonials adn she saw my friend type "I wanna make out with you" as a joke and my cousin became a bitch about it and said i don't like her who is she. back the fuck off bitch! She's just this goody good person who needs to just back the fuck off. She believes that me being the GOOD BOY from back in the day is still gonna be the same person for the rest of my life and thinks that people in my life are just bad influences and blames them for me being the way i am. The shit that pisses me off the most is her being the biggest bitch to my cousin when he didnt even do anything. Theres so many things i could have been influenced by like uh friends and tv and shit but i feel like she revolves everything around him. Let me talk about some incidents. My ousin had a tattoo and had his ears pierced before. Then later (when i was cool with her) i said i wanna get that too and be somewhat of a rebel and i'm sure she blames it on Fil for me having those ideas which was completely wrong. I HAVE FRIENDS and those are just styles which is something she doesnt know about. I found out that she told people like her mom when we were all talking in the living room the next time we saw each other. Out of nowhere her mom goes "Did you know you can't get an MRI if you have a tattoo?" WHAT THE FUCK! Bitch ass. So thats when i ended up not saying shit to her anymore and just seeing her as the Rat in the family. I remember having a conversation with my cool cousin and talked about the one and only party i had at my house and the fights that broke out. I made sure i was talking to him and only him and then found out that my mom knew after that. So pretty much she eavesdropped on the conversation and fuck her for that. On saturday we were talking about music i listen to at the gym and i said if i wanna run for 30 minutes i could just listen to a megamix of techno/trance songs and itll keep me going. Then my other cousin mentioned drum n bass and i made fun of the way people danced to that and said ive been to a rave before. The Rat wanted to get the inside scoop of if i dropped and i said no and i DIDN't and it seems like she didnt believe me...bitch. Then she asked did your cousin go with you? That shit pissed me off and just wanted to punch her in the face. Man i hate her. That def ruined the night. There's so many things where she did things like that and i don't understand why she needed to tell my parents about shit i do. Back off bitch. Get a life! Never had a boyfriend? Get a girlfriend if ur a dyke! Make some friends! Stop going on vacation by yourself like a loner! Socialize with people outside the family....BITCH!

Lemme calm down as writing all that made me mad and talk about Sunday a little. Random day to party but hey its the actual day of my friend's bday so we ended up having a barbecue at Gerry's house and i cooked all the Carne Asada and hotdogs just for them as i was bored and it was something to do. Everyone was pretty burnt out from Monster Massive and not much happened except chillin and chillin summore. Everyone left early as monday was the next day and it was only a couple people left. It got reaal quiet and kinda awkward so it was my cue to leave. I was a little high but i had the urge to go to the gym haha. If i didnt it would have been the third day of rest where i didnt want happening. So i ended my night at the gym and was there for a cool minute.

So that ended the original weekend and here i am on day 4 of my weekend as i skipped Tennis class today and just hung out at home putting in those tweaks to my Fantasy Basketball team (which has more than 3 bills on the line). Speaking of basketball, tomorrow is the day baby! The official tip off of the NBA. Can't wait to see what happens. Its gonna be a good year.

Long enough? haha ill be surprised if you sat and read through everything with no break.

My Mom Laggin It

This whole month ive been waiting on my mom to pay for the application fee for CSUN and so far she hasn't come through. I would always remind her and then she would give me the "I don't have money right now" excuse or the "i will do it next week" or "ill do it when i get paid" excuse. I'm starting to get the idea that shes doing it on purpose to keep me here at home haha. I like the AV and all because its home and i grew up here but yeah its time to move on mom lol. I still have a month to turn it in but times awasting and id rather have it in early. I don't even wanna imagine what would happen if i miss the deadline but somehow it might not be THAT bad. Like i said before, im still unsure if i wanna finish up the prep classes here at AVC or there at CSUN. I'm just giving it time to think about it. But right now i just wanna see if i at least get accepted.

October 22 (lovin that easy title)

Just been chillin lately. Saturday was the cousin's bday and hit up oiwake (japanese restaurant) which was also a bar. I was trippin most of the time because well...im not 21 yet and i dunno if bribing the bouncer would work this time around (it worked before last time i was there). But when i got there they didnt even card anyone and i got the stamp. It's a chill place. Fuck i wish i had a camera haha. Each day i fuck around with my cousins SLR it makes me want to get one on the spot. But itll come one day. Probably after the HDTV haha. Anyway, so we just chilled and drank the night away and gave Fil random ass drinks which made him the most wasted hes ever been haha. I'm sure he wasnt having much fun by the end. When my bday comes i definitely dont wanna get wasted. More like a drunk where im having the the time of my life and end it on a good note. O and i wanna remember the whole night lol. The bday wasnt over there as i tagged along to the dinner with the family at this classy looking place where they sell expensive steaks which was fucking bomb! It was pretty a pretty dope location. Next to the airport where you can see planes taking off. After that it was back to his house for some red velvet cake and then i bounced back to the weak sauce palmdale.

Monday was fucking draaaaining! Couldn't sleep at all and ended up getting 3 hours of sleep. Then went to AVC to play tennis (which was my only class thank God) and it was tooo damn hot (where did the cold go?). Then i thought i could just rest at home but i decided to hit up the gym with the homie and then that night it was his birthday so i stayed out till like 1:30 cuz i was already falling asleep. I didn't feel like getting up and doing anything but smoking that hookah as thats a chill thing to do. O lets go to some serious talk.

I wasn't only tired but i was just feeling weird. Lately chilling with friends has just been off. For some reason i feel out of place like i dont belong there. I can't really explain it in detail as i really don't know whats going on with me but its just how things been lately. Like i don't feel the bonds are there when it comes to me. When i take a look around the room and see everyone hanging out i just go damn...and i just feel different like im not a part of the group. I changed the way i act now and its not the same as before. Like for example one of them says insults like "ur an asshole or fuck you or just be mad whenever I leave early for something or just some other shit". He would usually be messing around and doesn't mean it but now i just feel that he's being serious and im taking it to heart sometimes and just get angry and say fuck this shit i don't need to hear it you know? It's just a random feeling that just goes to my head and i make a big deal about it i guess. I dunno...i guess things change? O and im sure at least ONE of the readers of this blog knows who im talking about. I'm not targeting him or anything like that. It was just an example. I really don't know what to do about it but just chill with friends and see what happens.

I love this team

I missed the game but these highlights pump me up!

Oct 18-19 (just lazy to think of a title)

Fil is pretty fucked up right now and knocked out haha. Happy birthday dood!

Finally Something About Me This Time

No this is not a review or input on something. Its about me this time haha. Let me give you an update. I kinda feel like typing a lot today. Just to rest my muscles that are soon to be gunz haha jp.

Thursday was going fine but did something i knew i shouldn't have done and procrastinate on studying for a midterm for Philosophy. I ended up taking my 2 hour break to TRY to read 2 long chapters (which i havent read before) off a computer screen (the whole book is typed on word) which hurt the shit out of my eyes. The worst part is that its on a computer! haha. That means im bound to distract myself by looking at useless information that wouldnt help me with the test (ie myspace, nba news, looking at blogs, trying to find something else to look at than the chapters). So by the time class began i didnt finish one chapter and didnt study to well as all i did was read the chapters without analyzing anything after i read parts. so that pretty much screwed me in the end as the test was insane. So that was a downer. I hate failing at things. Its something that easily gets me down and angry with myself. Especially when i know i could have done better and if its related to school. Thats because well...school is where life goes on (well in my case). If i fail going to school i fail a part of my life. Time doesn't stand still obviously. AS EACH DAY PASSES, I get a day older and they add up to weeks then months then years. I just don't want to look back and know that i failed something i could have accomplished. Call this cliche but ill say it anyway. You can't change the past. Now i know what you guys are thinking. "Chill out dood its only one exam" and i know that. But im just talking about failing in life in general and im sure all of you can agree with me with that topic. It all starts with little things. The thing is....I don't plan on failing.

As of now im pretty satisfied with everything going on with my life and i've learned to just say fuck it and just live it. Forget any problems that bother me and slow me down. I'm still young and my past is starting to be behind me. I'll admit that I have changed in the past couple of months and still changing as i speak. Even everyone i know is changing. But change is something that just happens and I just learn to accept it. Heh..this is a big step from years back. I'm coming from wanting to kill myself to just living the life i have. You only live once and God gave me the gift to live. I'm just happy that i never did what i felt like doing in the past. There's so much more for me to learn AS EACH DAY PASSES.

Let's cut the seriousness and just chill for a moment haha. To be honest, I wasnt planning to talk about that on here. I guess it just came up and as i was typing, one thought led to another and that came out. There's a lot of cliche quotes there but hey they are some true and deep words IMO. Anyway, so im just waiting till next thursday to see what i got on that midterm. If i don't do so hot it would all depend on the final on if i pass or not.

So it's been two weeks since i've been working out at home. Taking protein everyday and working out my arms most of the time and well..im lovin it! I also grabbed a 24 hour fitness gym pass today and i just got home from there. it's a pretty cool experience. I feel more motivated to work out there than at home and plus they got some crazy ass machines that of course i don't have. I describe it as what my friend who i saw there said. "It's like an amusement park" and well thats kind of what i see. So many machines to choose from haha. I only did a medium work out as i just wanted to check out the place. Theres people that look at me struggling to do a set amount of reps or pushing low weights (to them i guess) but i really don't care. Doesn't phaze me, I just keep saying...these fools were like me once. All in all, im liking the gym and plan to go ALMOST everyday. Gotta save a day or 2 to have some fun haha. Whoever is down to go with me let me know! I'm sure workouts are better when someone you know is around. But today it was just me and DJ ipod. I'm seeing some change in my body and that just motivates me to keep on pushing the weights. Whats even better, its increasing my self esteem and i know that the higher it is the happier i will get. I wish i did this a while ago!

Something thats also keeping me up is job hunting. It's that time again to find a job while holiday shopping is underway. Wednesday was the annual Fall job fair and there was a couple places i was interested in. So far i applied for Target, Old Navy, and Mt. High! If i had to choose which one i wanted most it would probably be Old Navy just for the fact that its not as far as Mt. High and it seems like it would be the more chill job. Target kind of reminds me of Wal-Mart (especially when its super target) and im not a fan of Wal-Mart. Watch this DVD called Wal-Mart: Low Prices at a High Cost (or something like that) and you'll see what i mean. Mt High is just far and i would have to do Canyon runs whenever i have to go to work haha jk. But it is pretty far. The upside to that is a $10 season pass and just being on the mountain most of the time which would be so dope. I still plan on applying to Best Buy and that is my #1! My favorite store! haha. Discounts babeh! Right now its all about the waiting game to see if they call.

Since i'm trying to get a job that means i would have to be tested and pretty much i've stopped smoking for a while and i like the feeling. I feel free and clean like all the toxins are releasing from my body. Especially when i break out a good sweat working out or playing tennis. I can't say it'll be a permanent thing but im down for it to be. But i doubt it's the end of that phase lol.

Last thing, I went on 1iota just to see who's performing on various shows and found TI to be sold out but saw my man John Legend not sold out and grabbed some tickets to that. It's only a mini concert but im still down! I'm pretty excited! I wanna see a full concert by him one day and especially a Jay-Z concert before that guy definitely retires. This is where the job kicks in haha. O and something else to add to my wish list is fuckin Laker's Tickets! I HAVE to see a game while Kobe is in his prime and i have to watch it from a good seat and not the top section where i usually sat in the past. I'm straight with somewhere under the suites.

Tomorrow (or should i say today) I'm gonna hit up the valley for cousin Fil's bday bar thing. I better get in! If i don't then damn...looks like ill be chillin in the car the rest of the night haha fuck that would suck.
