Sometimes Its Better To Say Nothing At All

Picture of the Day - This was one of the few pictures taken from last night......Lets just say they were piss ass drunk.








Well the weekend is coming to a close and i must say that it went by real quick. Most of that can be attributed to me having to go work at the Laboratory Theatre as an usher. I must say however it was a pretty cool experience.....well as least as cool as it could have been given the situation. The people i worked with were really cool. Haha it was kinda funny though because the people i hung out with were mostly 21 so they would ask if i wanted to go to the bar but obviously i couldn't....haha....but ya it was pretty cool nonetheless.

Anywho Sat was pretty laid back to begin. I woke up and watched cartoons again before having to run some errands. I dropped off my ochem solutions manual at Yavapai so Sarah could use it, then deposited my check from Sterling at the bank. When i came back i cleaned my room and then just chilled for a little bit before having to go to the theatre. Work was alright, i had to watch the play for like the 3rd time because i had to be security at the balcony. After work, i bought some ice and then went back home. Well as i had expected, they were all drunk (minus frank and moses who didn't drink alot). They had apparently started drinking as soon as they got there. And to add Joel decided to drive over after he got off work at 10. Anywho they wanted pizza but i couldn't get them to gather any money so instead we deciced to go to IHOP. Ya that was definately a chore, Frank didn't want to go, Adam was being flip-floppy because he wasn't hungry and was sleepy, John wanted to keep smoking hooka. So eventually Adam, J-Pop, Moses, and me went to IHOP while Frank and John stayed at the apt. Anywho we got there and ate and then we decided to go to Emily's party. (Note: when i got off of work, my original plan was to go bymyself to say hi and chat for a little bit. I called Emily to see if she was still having the kickback, but i decided to first see how the guys were doing back in the apartment. They were drunk so i called back Emily and had to regretably say that i wasn't going to come over. By the time we got to IHOP, their drunken states had calmed down a little bit and i sill wanted to go over there so that's why we did go over there). Anywho Aditi also called and they were also at a kickback in the same apt complex (Star Ranch). So we went to Star Ranch and we stopped by Emily's first to say what's up. Unfortunately Alysha had already left, so i didn't get a chance to talk to her but we all talked to Emily for a little bit, and the drunks refilled their particular beverages...haha....I felt a little bad that we only dropped by for a little bit, i hope she didn't get the impression that we came just for alcohol, but we did think up an idea to play Risk (non-alcoholic version) sometime. Anyways from her apt we decided to go to Aditi's friends apt. On the way over there, the PoPo were there with spotlights looking for something in the parking lot. Anywho so we went over there, and Aditi, Michelle, Clarice, Sarah, and Victoria were there. We sat down and chatted for a bit but Adam looked like he was gonna KO so we decided to leave. When we got back, Joel was already there, Frank was off (presumably to talk to Shannon on the phone), and John was asleep. we started playing smash brothers and i started drinking a little bit. The girls came over for like 10 minutes just to say what's up and then left. We played some more and then there was a loud knock on the door. At first i thought it was gonna be a complaint about the noise. It was the neighbor but he just wanted to reintroduce himself. He was throwing a party that night because he just turned 21, anyways he just wanted to ask if we wanted to play beer pong and said that if i wanted alcohol to ask him (oddly enough, earlier in the night, John tried to come over carrying a handle of Vodka, he said they slammed the door in his face). Anyways i got tired so we all started to hit the hay. I then heard Joel throw up in the bathroom, and he did all over the toilet.

This morning i woke up at 11, i hung out with the guys in the living room for a little bit then i had to get ready for work. It was my last day working, I didn't have to watch the play today so the guy i work with, this other guy (i suck at remembering names), and I went to La Salsa for lunch. Good food i must say. Anyways we went back and i watched Family Guy with this other dude Thomas. After work, i then went home and here I am now.

- The title of the post seems to be an ongoing theme in this blog as well as in life in general as of late. Blogwise, i've said time and time again that the blog has undergone a lot of change from its beginnings. The amount of readers have increased to the point where i can't completely identify everyone who reads the blog and there are some things that i have to leave out because i wouldn't want to offend anyone. Granted this is my blog and i do have a right to voice my opinion, but if you really want to know then i'm sure i'd tell you, i just feel more secure voicing it in person as opposed to leaving on the blog for everyone to see. Last night would be a perfect example of what i mean. I would love to expand my thoughts on last night, but i don't want my blog to be the source of some sort of strife among people.

Picture of the Day - Ahhh the good ole days.....the days when i lived at Graham and Greenlee and Steph, Tawni, and Paul would always come over.......i do believe this was first semester after bio probably...haha






Well i has almost survived hump day (i gotta go work at lab theatre tonite). Today hasn't been that great of a day.....but before i begin i'll do a quick run thru of yesterday. Weds consisted of the normal ochem class at 11 then i had to go home to finish up my lab report...so i eventually did and then i chilled before heading to lab. Lab really sucked, we were doing qualitative analysis which consisted of our TA giving us 3 unknowns which we have to find out its identity. The problem was my part of the lab, only 1 or the compounds worked on my tests. It didnt stop me from trying time and time again to get it to work. Anyways i spilt so much crap on me that it was ridiculous. After lab we cancelled our normal after lab dinner with the girls and opted for wings at wings stop. I had a mix of parmasean and lemon pepper and i must say i found the lemon pepper to be lacking. Anyways i watched the waning moments of the suns game then i played online poker and won a tournament. It was cool and all but i ended up not finishing my math until 1AM last nite.

This morning i was so tempted to sleep in but i remembered i had to turn in my math homework. I was able to make it thru math and headed to my Indv when i realized tawni wouldn't be joining me for class. So alas i went to class and did my crossword puzzle and that was that. I then went to Theatre appreciated which was the shortest class of the semester with it only being 15 minutes. However with that class getting out of class so early, i had to figure out what to do with my 3 hour break. So i proceeded to wander around campus for awhile until i got sorta hot and tired and walked to my car to decoat myself. I then headed to the ILC for some web browsing. I was there for about an hour, then i headed to highland for my flavored bottled water......i must admit it does taste like medicine but oddly enough i think that's part of it's appeal...haha Anyways i then got hungry and i didn't get a call from Deeds so i went to Cactus Grill and grubbed out on some omelet. Aditi then got out of lab and joined me for lunch. she was soon followed by Michelle but by that time we had to go to bio. When we finally got there, we have the 2nd of 3 bio teachers......he talks a lot more interesting than the first one. I then made a mistake that sent my quiet day into a whirlwind. It was not pretty and i felt really bad. Anyways i tried to alleviate the problem as much as i could, then went on my way to the mall and i got a belt.....let me say this....Robinsons may is having a bomb sale since they are being bought out by Macy's. As soon as i get some duckets i want to head over there and rob them.....Anyways now i'm home and gotta get ready for work so ya....

- I'll admit, crappy blog today but i'm kinda tired and i just want to go to sleep.

Picture of the Day- For those who haven't had the pleasure/displeasure of meeting this man....his name is Brotha Jed. Some of his famous phrases include "Jews are good for baking bagels" or "I took LSD".....anyways i was able to capture the essense of Jed as he was on the verge of condemning a member of UofA.





Well today for the most part seemed like a good day. I barely woke up for school this morning but alas i found the strength to do so. So I took my shower and took John to school. I had math and got my homework back and I got another 9 (ya!!). So far i've avoided the same pitfalls from last semester and hopefully i can keep it that way. After that i headed off to Indv with Tawni. Class was alright, the kid sitting next to me was texting on his cell phone, reading espn on his comp, and had headphones on.....why even show up? I then went to theatre class for 20 minutes which i got my review paper back and i got a 92 (Yippee!).........I then showed up for the last 15 minutes of Ochem discussion and then went with Aditi to talk to her lab boss. we then went to the ILC to see if bio scores were up...they weren't. We then showed up to bio and i sat next to my friend from G&G. Class sucked and as usual Deeds and me left early. I then went home and was being somewhat productive but then I went to dinner with clarice to All you can eat sushi.......o man it was so good but i could barely eat anything.....it was sad!!! Anyways it was cool, clarice and me talked about a bunch of random stuff before we decided to head back home. Now i'm trying to be productive by finishing my lab but so far no luck........

Productivity Zero

Song Of The Day- Aaliyah - Put that on Everything
Currently Feeling- Lazy
Picture of the Day -
This is none other than Mr. Bread (I believe Michelle and me named it). This loaf of bread isn't just any bread, this is bread that was in my fridge all first semester of frosh year. Jason the Jew and I ate approximately 1 piece of bread...haha





Well today...hmmm my plan was to be uber productive since i only had one class today. My day started by waking up around 9 not due to my alarm but due to some hardcore bed rattling that i heard in Franks room....followed by some faint screams....(yuck...) Anyways I took my shower and headed off to school. I had Ochem which was pretty basic, then i had an hour break before lunch with Deeds and Me'shell. I called up Monica but originally she was gonna go out to lunch with her friend. So i then took a mini siesta on the lawn. Monica called saying that her lunch plans were cancelled to see if i still wanted to hang out but by the time i got the message i was KO'ed for a good while. When i woke up it wouldn't have been worth it, so instead i walked over to the Arts building because i saw some artwork on a brickwall that i wanted for my phone wallpaper. So i took it and headed over to the Union. I ate lunch with the girls before heading home.

At home i called my mum to wish her happy b-day.....So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!!! I then halfassed read my Ochem book and retained literally nothing, then proceeded to eat peanuts, play online poker, and watch the smallville marathon......productive..i know....haha.....anyways as we speak the marathon is still going on which is delaying me going to get some food to eat for dinner.

Anywho my plan for tomorrow involves going to school from 8-3:15, with a 1 or 2 hour break depending on if i go to all my classes. Then i gots to do some ochem lab work.

Random Things......

- I think i'm back to normal from my sad saturday night....oddly enough i read my horoscope for tomorrow (from yahoo and yes i know...sounds stupid) and it seems to be pointing at one thing for me to do.

- I have faith that i'll be able to gather up some form of courage sooner or later.

Picture of the Day- Carl AKA C-Dog AKA Carl's Jr










Well this weekend started out quite boring but got really interesting towards Sat. Anywho Fri seemed like a very typical day. I went to ochem and then i stopped by my math prof office to show him that i did one of the homeworks he thought i didn't do. After that bottcher and me went home to play smash brothers for a while with john joining us. After that we drove to costco to get some grub. On the way back it started raining a little which was really nice. It was like San Diego weather...... Anyways when we got back Shannon was there. So i went to my room and updated my mp3 player for a long ass time then tawni came over and we decorated frank's room for shannon and we drove to wal-mart to get more supplies. Ya it was pretty sweet idea by Shannon, she had balloons with flowers attached leading to his room. The first one had a note saying "I will love you til the last rose dies" and the final flower leading to his room is a plastic rose.....Anyways it was cool, after that i just chilled. The girls IM'ed me and were planning on watching Match Point. I was going to go at first but decided against it cuz i never heard what the movie was about and its so expensive to watch movies here. So instead John, Frank, Shannon, Bottcher, and I watched Saw II in the living room....

Sat started out normal......i woke up and watched Sonic the Hedgehog and then i started doing some math while listening to music. I then called everyone to see if they were going to the play and then went to the school and bought tickets. I then watched the NBA all star activities before it was time to go. Bottcher and me then went to the girls house to pick them up. We said we were gonna be on campus by 7:30 but instead we left around 7:30. Anywho we watched "Bombay Dreams" and at first i had quite low expectations but i really enjoyed myself. It was highly entertaining and just a great production. The one song that seemed to get stuck in everyones head was "Shakalaka Baby", if you ever watch this play you will understand. Anyways after that we were all hungry so we dropped by IHOP for some food. Clarice met us up and ate with us. Anyways we were at the counter to pay when i get a call coming from Emily. It's Alysha and she was wondering if we were going to the party. Haha that made me quite happy that she was gonna be there and she called to make sure we were coming. So we went over there and ya both she and emily were there among others. Anyways, this was the opportunity i was hoping for to distance myself from chemistry but it didn't turn out the way i wanted to. First off when i was the opportunity, i mean it was the perfect opportunity. First off it seemed like she wanted to talk to me, she would always stand next to me and it just seemed like at times she would go out of the way so that i would talk to her. The problem was i couldn't string together a conversation for longer than 5 minutes. I figured that maybe if i started drinking, it would change but no matter how quick i tried to down it, i wasn't getting drunk (or red). So alas opportunity somewhat wasted.....we did give her a ride home......

Today i woke up because of frank and shannon's noise haha. I got ready and got to work as an usher. Work was alright, nothing bad or anything just boring. I don't work til Thursday though. I will admit, my boss is hot! haha....anyways i worked as the guy who passes aout programs. I worked with this guy who rips the ticket....cool guy. Anyways after work, i went home and took some benedryll and slept through the all star game.

- So ya i'm still kicking myself about Sat night......i dunno what else to say......

Picture of the Day- So you may be asking, why did i take a picture of what looks like Adam drinking a normal 32OZ from QT? Well because it's not ordinary drink, but rather a 32OZ of coke infused with the garlic sauce courtesy of Papa Johns. It tasted nasty by the way






Whoa blogging two days in a row! haha i'm trying to get into the groove of it. Anyways ya today was hump day for me, and what a hump it was. I woke up and did my normal routine. I gave John and ride and then i got my newspaper and read it til class started. We went over the homework and i open up my notebook and realized i grabbed my notebook from last semester (it is the same color as my notebook from this semester). So i ask the teacher if i can go to the bathroom, and i hightail it from the Engineering building to Cherry Garage and back before my teacher notices my prolonged absence. yup what a way to start my day. However i got my homeworks back and i did good on it. I then went to my Indv class and i got a 100 on my indv test with the bonus. SWEET!!! anyways after i got my grade i pretty much tuned out the prof and started doing the xwords with Tawni. After that i went to my theater class which lasted 15 minutes and i began slowly killing my time before bio class. Lets see i walked to my car and dropped off my notebooks, then went and got some water at Highland Market. From there i went to the ILC to goof around on the computer for a bit (Woot.com was having a woot off). Anyways after that i walked around somemore and decided to go to the TV lounge to watch some fear factor. I started to doze off and i could feel a dream coming on but Deeds called in the nick of time and i met her up at the Cactus Grill and had some subpar turkey. Anyways went to bio class for half of it and then left. I declined on an invitation to join Deeds and Me'shell to go to a students against cancer meeting and opted to take a nap while watching the Drew Carey show (productive....I know). I woke up around 7:30 and got pissed cuz i missed half of smallville. Good eps btw......After that i watched the suns game (we were up by 30 at halftime!) and then i started doing my lab. I took a break and got some dinner at Wing Stop, finished my lab, and now i'm chilling.

Random Things...

- Adam is no longer coming down this weekend cuz his mom guilted him into going to church on Sun. It's a mixed bag though cuz although it would have been cool to have adam, joel, and moses come down, i can focus on maybe trying to get ahead in school again. I can also not worry about "what if's" if emily has her party and the idea of having drunk adam, joel, and j-bot all heckling me about "you know who". Now all i have to worry about is J-Bot.

- A new plan which may arise this Sat is watching Bombay Dreams. They are having a preview Sat and sun but i can only watch it Sat cuz i work as an usher this week. Anywho it's only 17 dollars and looks interesting. So i have to figure out if Em is having her party then plan it accordingly.

- I was chatting it up with the Mase online and we were talking about cars. He's planning on getting his car soon and it looks like he'll be getting a WRX. It's probably the best choice considering where he lives where AWD is pretty much a must. Plus it is a very fast car and fun to drive.

- I almost forgot Shannon (Nana) is coming tomorrow. That'll be interesting, Frank cleaned the apt like a mofo and did his usual "threaten everyone if they make it dirty while she's here". haha....anyways ya.....hopefully i don't hear stuff like the first time she came over......:(

-I believe that's it for now......peace out!!

Realism of a Dream

Picture of the day- haha what can i say......a myspace picture indeed...haha










So like i promised here is my update from yesterday.....actually that was a couple weeks ago. But in my defense i've been concentrating hard on school. I think last time i wrote i said that i was adjusting to school and my new schedule......well i'm now well settled and i usually have a routine that i go through the week with.

Anyways i figure it would be too hard to try to write about everything that has happened since i last updated........if i were to try and do that i would only get frustrated and now blog at all. So instead i'll break my blog up into pieces....

1. Friends
For the most part i hang out with the girls and j-bot (or j-pop which ever you prefer haha). Always a blast hanging out with the girls. J-Bot is his usual sarcastic self which is always fun to hear. hmmm anything to note about them.......well since i am a genius at finding stuff online, the girls asked me to help them look for a solutions manual for ochem. So i found one and they ordered it....about a couple weeks later they get a piece of a box in the mail with a stamp saying that the box was tampered with.....haha so for the time being they are out 50 dollars but i'm helping them try to get their money back, or at least a new book.

Then there is the house (Paul, Tawni, Steph)..........don't hang out with them as much but normally i usually end up playing poker with Paul at the house. Tawni, we have Indv together but we haven't had much of an opportunity to hang out lately cuz either I'm busy or she's busy/or in phoenix. Steph seems to be always working, haha but i did sit with her and watched Judging Amy before she had to go to work once haha.

Anyways the other thing that i want to talk about concerning these two factions (haha) is that currently they aren't seeing eye to eye. I won't get into the complexities of the issues at hand (it is not my story to tell) but to say it has been taxing at times is an understatement. I believe i've alluded to it a couple times in my blog but have chosen to keep it out til now. I'm close friends to both sides, and because of that I've tried to remain impartial to the whole thing and both sides do know that. I will admit i've tried to subtly and not so subtly try to nudge both sides into an agreement but i have been unsuccesful and seeing the results so far, i think it's a fair assumption to make that there isn't going to be a resolution anytime soon. It's quite sad, and i will admit it's hard for me, cuz i do feel at times i have to manage my time between them. I suppose it'll be one of those things that i'll just have to adjust to.

Then there are the OG's and the roomies.....and other people who i haven't catagorized yet. The Mase is still in colorado, but he is coming down this weekend. Unfortunately i will not be in Phx because i may have a party that i need to go to. I talked to the Mase and i think he completely understands and would probably get upset at me if i didn't go....haha.......Then there is Fibbs......he works, I see him occasionally, he has a PSP.....that's all i can think of.....Then there is adam....good ole adam....still the same ole self, maybe a bad influence but always fun to be around and always gots my back....haha.....anyways he plans on maybe coming down this weekend. By the way if you want to read his short lived blog here is the address http://adamthekorean.blogspot.com/. He has two, but i could never remember what the name of his other one is. But if anyone can find it, i'll gladly give them 5 dollars. The rest of the people, Moses, Joel, PAL, etc i will try to get to next time but i have to leave them out due to time restraints (hahaha)....

II. School
School is usually pretty negative but i can't gladly say that after my first set of tests, i'm happy (for the most part) with my grades. Math i got a decent B which i'll take (i should have gotten an A). Ochem I got a 70 which isn't great by any means but when the avg is a 58, can you really complain. Biology we just took our first test but i feel confident about it. I would say maybe a B+ or A-, but i'll find out next tuesday. Then there is Indv....let me just say that i'm shooting for a 100% on my test....i finished it real quick and anything less than hmmm a 92 then i'd be upset but on the flip side, we had a 10 pt bonus question that i should have gotten right. Then there is lab, so far it is going pretty well,mainly cuz i'm focused on the lab instead of a certain someone who isn't in my lab anymore :( Today's lab however sucked nuts, we were there for almost the entire time, and i fucked up the second half of the lab, but oh well...haha....after lab tonite, we went to Wendy's and they were trying to draw out information about my dream this morning (more about that later).

III Family (by the way, i just realized this, but nonetheless these sections aren't in particular order in the sense that my family isn't 3rd on my priorities......just had to say that).

Hmmm this is a toughie......Marianne i haven't talked to in forever and is still traveling the world just like shes always wanted. Baitos is still in HS, so shes going thru the drama usually associated with that...haha......My parents are my parents.....Hmmm that's all i'll say about family for now, gotta have something private i guess.....

and now for my personal favorite section of the blog

Random Things.....

- Well right now i'm driving the reVOLVOlution while the X is in phoenix. My parents finally finished paying it off, and we may finally see my car come out of it. I don't want to give any definates (because as all of you know, my parents love to "invest" in things other than my car). It's funny though cuz i had just about accepted the fact that the X was gonna be mine so i had plans on fixing it up and making it nicer..... So for the time being i'm driving the volv until who knows........(the longer i drive it, the better the chance of my car coming to fruition).

- Since i can't do that, i've also brought back the idea of upgrading my speaker system again. This time with the help of 400 dollars i'm getting from Sterling by renewing the lease. Anyways I really wanted the Athena Point 5 speaker system but i want to buy it at a store and refrain from online purchases. So instead i've decided to opt for the Polk r30 floorstanding speakers for the fronts ($80), then the surrounds will be polk r15's ($40).....the center channel will be the Polk CSM ($100)...finally the sub will be the last upgrade (and may be at a later date), it will be the Dayton 12' downfiring sub ($150). So assuming i do all of that were looking at a total of $370 minus tax

- I guess i should update on the girl front..........well i guess if i had to say if i was trying to hook up with a girl, it would still be alysha. The biggest problem is that i'm stuck in chem. By that i mean it's hard to build of a growing relationship with chem in the way. Hopefully that changes this weekend cuz my friend emily is throwing a housewarming party. Alysha should proabably be there but i don't know for sure. Anyways if i do go, it should be a barometer to where i am and if I want to keep trying to go for Alysha.

- Another thing i have figured out is that when i like a girl i seem to put her on a pedastool, and as a result, i act like a complete dork. Example of this could include Vicky, Monica, Jenn, etc. Anyways i bring this up because we all remember last semester when i liked Monica and offered her textbooks. And then the next time i saw her, i avoided her like the plague. Flash forward to this semester, i think of her as a friend and now i can talk to her comfortably whenever i see her and not get my tongue twisted into a pretzel. So if you have any ideas to alleviate this problem feel free to tell me.

- and with that i'll end with my dream.......ok first off, no i don't plan on telling anyone my dream (except for j-bot who i told after lab). Anyways it seemed so very real and that is what was scary. I woke up from it, and for a few minutes i thought what happened in my dream actually happened. Now the dream itself wasn't by any standards abnormal, it's pretty commonplace and i've had a few dreams here and there with the same stuff occuring. What was odd was the person involved, and the realism of it all. Like the enviroment, the mood, everything felt like it normally does and it lulled me into believing i was in real time, then it starts happening and then i wake up and i'm like "WTF?". Anyways i'm always one for analyzing dreams and i'm sure it would be easy to come up with one, but i doubt the obvioius is the answer........but then again my subconscience has a way of telling me things......but then again i've been having an array of weird dreams so maybe it's just my mindset in general that has my brain going crazy....haha
