Trials and Tribulations

Maybe its just me, but lately it feels like i'm getting burned by... not sure how to describe it... but i guess... people seem to be letting me down or bailing on me. Mentioning or showing indications of wanting to do particular things, only to forget or just ignore it later on. Am i just not important enough to warrent commitments? Or am i simply making too much of random comments, assuming them to be set when they're just topics of conversation? Whether its mentioning that i'd like to visit a friend in San Diego, meeting someone to go to lunch, or makin plans for Halloween... it always feels like i'm easily passed by. One friend will seem to forget my offer to go visit the next day, or i'll drive down expecting to meet up with someone only to find out they're not even home, or i'll get asked if i wanna hang out only to get passed by for studying. And to whoever reads this, all those situations are real, and to keep things on the slightly but not yet entirely vague side, they all involve females. It's just... so frustrating to me. I guess i just had hopes that maybe i'd finally get to be high up on someone's list of priorities again, and not necessarily in a romantic way.

And to make matters worse, i'm afraid that in the upcoming weeks i'll end up doing something stupid that i'll regret. Why does it always feel like i'm making the wrong decisions? Or saying the wrong things to people. I played my card last time and got burned... yet here i am thinking about doing it again when i know i have reservations about what my own true feelings are, and continuously experience both the postive and the negative possiblities.

People do and say strange things... it's weird how people can believe so strongly on certain issues yet be completely oblivious to the fact that their own judgements can apply to themselves. Now i know i can be guilty of this... everyone is, since to err is human. But i don't set out trying to change people's lives or criticize them for their decisions. I guess... my advice is, don't set out to make the world a better place when you your own little sphere in life needs improvement first. Why critique the way i live my life and my complaints when you do absolutely nothing to solve your own?

There are times i want to be painfully obvious, and call out names and write specifically about my own intents... alas, i know those it involve would get angry. But i suppose in many cases it'll probably be clear to the person when they read what i write. I'm sorry.

Chhhanges

I was thinkin the other day about people and how they may or may not change over the course of their lives. There's certainly a lot of circumstances out there that can affect people's lives and perceptions... some for the good, some for the better. In the end, i'd like to think that people come out for the stronger and perhaps change for the better. Nowadays i'm not so sure thats the case. As much as i'd like to believe, that through saddness and depression, success and happiness, that type of deal, that i've changed for the greater good, upon further thought i'd say that i really haven't changed that much at all. I'm matured a bit, no doubt. But in the greater picture, i'm basically the same person, just with different parts of myself or my personality emphasized more, or brought more to the forefront so to speak. The last 4 years have probably been the most dramatic of my life, and even so, looking back at how the cumulation of it all has taken its toll on me, none of it has really brought some magical transformation within me to pass.

Now, certainly there are those particular situations where someone will undergo a complete character change... perhaps through religious awakenings, or a death defying experience, but i'd reckon that for the most part people, by the time they reach near or around my age, have pretty much got their character defined. There'll be little modifications here and there as the years go by, but honestly i don't expect to see any major differences in the people i've grown acquainted with over the years. It's this reason that particular relationships, where one side or the other, attempts to 'improve' their beau never particularly pan out. I guess its hard to accept the fact that person you liken to will never be the perfect guy/girl you dreamed or hoped for... but i suppose that's why you see the phrase "nobody's perfect' applied so often.

I guess it's the fact that with me, i've been told, asked, critiqued, and evaluated about my self so often by those expecting me to reach out and do something that i can only snap back and react sharply against these comments. That's just not me. That's not going to be me. And pushing someone to change into something that is better in one's eyes isn't necessarily the best course of action in the other's.

So what does this have to do with anything? Nothing really. I got my State Compensation Insurance Fund exam results in the mail. The result? Final Score: 100%. Rank: 1. Hopefully that means i'll hear from them soon about a job, so i can finally get a job, make money, and get a car. I haven't been happy about many things lately... but damn, #1? I'm bad ass.

Stoopid Blogger

Blogger being down late at night makes it annoying when i wanna scribble sumthin down on my page...

Since Abe wanted to whine about not having any new cool albums on my Get Files list, i downloaded Snow Patrol's album Final Straw. Listening through it now, and already found a few songs that i enjoy other then their radio played song Run (which reeks of all sorts of awesomeness). Good album so far. Didn't realize one of the songs are on the MVP Baseball soundtrack either. Anyway, new song of the moment from the album.

I really need to cut back on the Emo stuff... makes me feel all weird inside sometimes.

Interviewed with Wamu in Irvine on Tuesday... expecting to hear back from them soon. I hope i get the job there... i think i have a better chance getting it there then the other places. For one, the people interviewing me seemed a whole lot nicer and interested. Two, i actually noticed a bunch of asian people workin there (considering its in the asian plazas, i guess it shouldnt be a surprise). And three, the people there seemed fairly young. So hopefully luck wins out this time, cuz it certainly hasn't been doing me any favors the last month.

Halloween's a super cool holiday. Harriet told me tonight they don't celebrate it in Australia. Those weirdos! Anyway, still undecided on what i'll be doin... the fellas wanna drink. I haven't had a drop of booze since that last.... unfortunate circumstance. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. And not sure if JH still wanted to do something... i wanna play with her doggy some more =( It's always fun playin with him. Cute aminals always lighten up my mood... see: big fluffy thing one post down =)

I dunno what else is new... i want Baja Fresh. Haven't been there since i left SD. Chattin with Anna = talkin about food = mad Stan cravins = Go Crazy. :(!

The Science of Things

So i frequently visit forums during the day, and came across one particular thread dealing with an article in National Geographic concerning the Theory of Evolution and how people view it versus the idea that God simply created humans as we know. I'm not a religious man; and while i wouldn't go as far as to claim myself to be atheist, the amount of people that believe in God's hand as far as creation goes was rather surprising. As it were: "According to a Gallup poll in 2001, 45% of Americans agreed with "God created human being pretty much in their present form at one time withing the last 10,000 years or so." 37% said it was a God/Evolution combo, which some people call theistic evolution. Only 12% believe that humans evolved from other life forms without any involvement from God."

Despite the strong religious convictions of many in this country, i wouldn't have expected almost half of the poll takers to assume a life span of 10,000 years considering the dating given from science. Although one of the arguments was that many lack the broad teachings that some of us have been lucky enough to recieve, allowing us to make our own judegements given the facts presented to us. Regardless, one post within this thread summed up my thoughts pretty well, and far better written then i could do :)


One of the things that astounds me is how little faith (yes faith) people have in science. Historically, science has shown time and again that it kicks religion's ass when it comes to figuring out how the universe works. Sure, it's been wrong sometimes, but it actually corrects itself (without religion's help, thank you) and continues to be mankind's best shot at improving our physical wellbeing.

There's a concept known as the God of the gaps. That is, God is confined to within the space of man's ignorance. Early on, when man barely knew his ass from a hole in the ground, that space was pretty large. Lightning? That's God. Tides? Seasons? Both the work of God.

Today, we know what causes all those phenomena. We don't need a god to explain them. So God has been pushed into those areas where we don't have a full explanation. Where did the universe come from? Where did life come from? Big questions, to be sure; but science is steadily, if slowly, making its way towards answers in those areas.

Note that in the process of discovering the science and technology that has lifted us from damn dirty apes to a space-faring society, not a single minute step in that process was made as a result of consulting some "holy" book.

If it were left entirely up to religion, we'd still be thinking that lightning meant that God was angry and sacrificing animals to make sure spring would come again.

So where do I put my money if I'm betting on what's more likely to provide an accurate explanation for the creation of the universe and all that entails? Science might not have all the answers yet, but it's got a pretty damn good track record.

End result? Science kicks bootay. And just so this post isn't completely technical in nature:

And...

I get a kick outta this.

http://img21.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img21&image=Deadpool3.jpg

I love Superheroes :D

So...

All this free time makes my mind want to go crazy. Thoughts and ideas come and go, flip flopping one way or another, overthinking and analyzing random things. I need to find an escape somehow...

NBA season starts in 1 week... checked out every Laker preseason game already... thankfully i can indulge myself with the new season and keep my mind concentrated on my favorite sport. Was looking at tickets for the Lakers/Clippers game in December... ticketmaster wasn't coming up with any results for 4 tickets. Checkin out EBay... man, the Lakers/Heat game on Christmas day... tickets are over a grand :) Anyone want to make me REALLY REALLY happy on Christmas? PLEASE?!?!?

Was trying to go out and get some exercise today by shootin some hoops... but half way to the park and a call from Jon meant Blockbuster and lunch! Nothing to buy today at Blockbuster... although i did see 12 Angry Men. My brother's highly recommended film means i'll prolly pick it up tomorrow along with Mulan.

Downloaded and watched Around the World in 80 Days this afternoon... Arnold edition, of course. Pretty fun movie, about what you'd expect from a Jackie Chan vehicle. The cameos were fun, but of course i'd enjoy Arnold playing a womanizing prince :) But Luke and Owen Wilson were awesome as well.... and of course Rob Schneider. DEUCE. That's a huge bitch!

Yet another WAMU interview tomorrow... although this one is for the Irvine one down Walnut. Man, i dunno why the recruiter guy keeps setting me up with interviews, considering i must really suck to go through 2 already. But i suppose i'm bound to get lucky once, eh? It would be really nice to be able to get this one right in Irvine though. Gettin a job means i finally get a freakin car.

So what else... what else... was checkin out the NBA Store catalog in the mail today. They have team logo'd flasks! How cool is that. Booze out of a Laker flask... *drool*

I need to get back into reading...

Fear...

What do you do when there's something on your mind... something you want to ask or say... but you're afraid of the outcome? Afraid that it'll ruin a good thing, maybe a great thing? I went down that path before and was left feeling miserable. I feel like i'm going down that path again, and i don't want to make the same mistake, because i really don't know how i can handle it. I cling to the hope that maybe this time it will be different... maybe this time things will turn out in my favor. But in turn, that only makes my mind go crazy with ideas and thoughts that try and work things out to no avail. Is it too soon? Have i changed at all? Is this what i want, or do my feelings decieve me? I wish i could know what the right course of action is. Or maybe there is none, and whatever i decide to do will end in misery, due to some cruel fate set for me. If i don't believe in destiny, why does it seem to chase and haunt me so?

If life gives you lemons, making lemonade just doesn't fucking cut it.

EXTREME Pizza

Went to EXTREME Pizza (next to Tomikawa & Fatburger) tonight with JH... been meaning to go there for awhile just to see how EXTREME the pizza there is. I gotta say... it was pretty EXTREME! Can you tell i like that word? Hehe. Toppings up the wazoo. Expensive, but pretty good! Plus, they serve hard liquor there =) Cool lookin place too, with like 5 nice TV's (nice flat screens, not them cheapo ones, and was able to watch part of the game tonight) and some cool surfing decorations (perfect since JH is learning to surf). Stan recommends for its EXTREMENESS.

Damn it, wanted to see the Red Sox lose again tonight. Ah well, guess its nice to see them break a curse... but there's something enticing about another tragic loss. Go Astros!

Hmm... haunted thingy for Halloween? Or maybe just hangin out with JH and Peanut to pass out candy? Oughta be nice either way.

Man, it was raining hard here earlier. Guess some parts of OC are flooded and part of the 5/22 freeways were shut down. Thats nutso. Rainy days are still sad and gloomy.

I was bored and watching Endless Waltz tonight... its weird how some songs are catchy even though the lyrics are in a totally different language and you don't know what they mean. Translations can be pretty though =)

*** I BELIEVE YOUR LOVE
Never give up.
Stretch out your wounded wings.
Soaring up to the sky,
You sketch an infinite dream
So faraway ...
I BELIEVE YOUR DREAM
Show your smiling face
Even though you are drowned by sorrow,
If someday you want to be proud of
This irreplaceable moment.

SO FAR AWAY

Chuck Norris rules!

Best. Tag Line. EVER.

Stuffs and Things

Watching it again tonight... The Usual Suspects is still my favorite movie of all time. Just too bad ass for words.

For those wondering, i didn't get the job at Washington Mutual, as they decided to hire someone who already had experience. The recruiter fellow called me today to tell me that i did fine in the interview though, and also asked if i wanted to interview for another job this Friday. Pretty cool guy seems to be trying to help me as best he can.

The brightside about not working during the last 2 weeks is that October baseball has kicked all sorts of ass.

Betty wanted me to go to a B-Day party with her a CSULB. I doubt i'll go... i feel awkward enough meeting large groups of new people. Having one friend that will probably go off drinking and leaving me alone doesn't seem too pleasant to me. I guess i really am anti-social. Eh, what ya gonna do. Checking out Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence with JH is more appealing to me anyway.

Picked up the new Jimmy Eat World CD Futures today. I'm a big fan, but i'd have to say Bleed American was a better album. Only listened through the CD once and no tracks particularly stood out, outside of their current single Pain. Maybe a few songs will grow on me with repeated listenings. Although Pain is such a great song in itself.

Surprisingly enough, i didn't buy any new DVDs! Go me!

Lakers are impressing me this preseason. Chris Mihm and Sasha Vujacic look good :) Who wants to go to a Laker game with me???

I NEED A FREAKIN CAR. *grumble*

Rainy Days...

Rainy days make things feel so sad and gloomy. Go away!

The nice thing about these days though, is that it reminds me of how nice hot chocolate is on a cold day. 4 cups the last couple of nights = a lot of peeing.

Job interview tomorrow morning with Washington Mututal.... a little nervous, especially since i'm supposed to "dress professionally" and such, but hopefully it'll go well. It would be great to get this job, since it would give me something to take my mind off other things. Plus, Wamu is certainly a nice place to think about building a stable career. Damn it, i'm not gonna be Marcy Darcy though! :) Plus, my mom says whenever i get hired somewhere, then i'll finally get my new car. Else i gotta wait for her and Rachel's mom to go lookin.

On the brightside, she pretty much said i could get whatever i want as long as its reasonably priced, deciding that its better to get something i'm happy with rather then be dissapointed and have to just settle for something. Scion tC or Mazda3 it is! Mazda3 is more practical with its room (Vegas in my new car, anyone?)... but the tC looks so sexy and trendy :)

New song of the moment... its actually on the Madden 2005 soundtrack and upon further digging its on the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack that i never noticed. Cool song. As always, its on my Get Files :)

Spending the whole weekend watchin sports isn't too bad. It'll be nice when everyone stops being so busy with school and what not so people will be free to relax and watch games with. Instead everyone has to be so occupied doing school apps and takin tests. Bleh.

Know whats kinda creepy? When a poster falls down in the middle of the night to wake you up.

I'm outta random things to say. SPOON!

Exercise Stinks!

Roger Thornhill : The moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Eve Kendall : What makes you think you have to conceal it?
Roger Thornhill : She might find the idea objectionable.
Eve Kendall : Then again, she might not.

Ah, i always wondered where that conversation was from. Turns out its North by Northwest :) Good movie, although i think i like Rear Window better as far as Hitchcock movies go.

Went running tonight to try and exhume some of my depression... damn that was tiring. Exercise is for suckers. Anyway, guess we'll see if i manage to keep it up. If anything, at least i can scare all the old people taking walks with my black hooded sweatshirt on, hood up and everything, hands tucked away holding my cd player. Yeah, i'm badass!

Years ago, i was told that its pretty obvious when i look at someone with affection. Lately, i wonder if its still noticable.

Got an interview with Washington Mutual on Monday morning... although from what i'm told, its just turning in the application papers and what not, before having to interview again with the people hiring for the specific branch i want to work at. So i guess we'll see. Good thing i have no car to drive to the interview, eh? Yeah, my life freakin rules.

Hitchcock!

Had 32 bucks leftover credit at Blockbuster, so went down there with Jon so he could trade in some video games and check out more DVDs. Picked up two Alfred Hitchcock classics, Rear Window and North by Northwest. I saw Rear Window in class last year... great film, made even better by parodies like with The Simpsons :) Haven't seen North by Northwest before, but its regarded by many as one of Hitchcock's best, and i can't wait to check it out. Both movies were used and traded in by other people, so the pair only cost me 20 bucks. Still got 10 dollars credit leftover. Maybe check out the original Around the World in 80 Days? Or The Untouchables? Hmm... still deciding on whether to move more movies. Ah Crossroads... dare i part with my beloved Britney Spears?

Finished watching GoodFellas this afternoon after starting it last night. Solid film, although not particularly what i expected. I was thinking it was going to be more along the lines of a brutal and violent mob flick, but it was more subdued, taking a look at the life of Henry Hill as he works his way through life as a member of the mob. It was great seeing classic lines like Pesci's "think i'm funny?" speech as well. Definitely an interesting look at a true story, which made it even more compelling.

Bleh, i should have gone into a field dealing with film :) Maybe i can refine my writing skills and be a journalist? I was never a particularly good writer compared to my peers. Hmm...

Rearranged my DVDs and shelves a little.... i wonder if i'll ever fill up my 2nd shelf?

Movies Movies Movies

So in an attempt to broaden my movie horizons and refine my DVD collection, i've been trading some of my least watched movies to Blockbuster Video and getting store credit to pick up other films. No more collecting for the sake of collecting... so a lot of movies i bought that i'm rather indifferent about are now gone, in favor of picking up more meaningful movies, movies that i'd actually rewatch multiple times, or checking out some classic films. So no more Affleck for the sake of Affleck, or Arnold because it's Arnold. My tastes for film have grown, and having found myself enthralled by films such as Casablanca, i'm looking to discover more films like that. So today i picked up The Shawshank Redemption, an absolutely wonderful film and ranked #3 on IMDB's top 250 movies list. I also picked up GoodFellas (#29), which i have yet to see, but is a Scorsese classic, not to mention a mob film classic. So hopefully i'll check that out tonight or so.

With that, i've looked into picking up some other films. I noticed One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest (#12) at Blockbuster, so i'm tempted to check that out. Jack Nicholson won Best Actor for that and the film won Best Picture... so its something i ought to watch. Also of interest are The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (#68) and The Maltese Falcon (#51), both starring Bogart. Unfortunatly there's no fancy DVD out for Falcon. Anyway, recommendations are encouraged :)

As for other things... took an online assessment test for Washington Mutual... a pain in the ass. I hate those generic questions that have you answer... reminds me of Target's stupid application process. What word describes you... if a customer yells what do you do... a good employee does this.... blah blah blah. What a waste of time. Employers should know everyone trys to pick the same generic answer that makes them sound the best. Am i really going to put down that i'd yell at an angry customer and tell them to leave? Gimmie a break.

Got out of the house to play a little basketball this morning... tired pretty quickly. Guess i'm out of shape after we stopped playing basketball every weekend. Lifting my weights the last week didn't really help much either, as my arms got tired from taking shots. Bleh. We need to play again... or take more batting swings this weekend :)

I want fast fooooooooooooooooooooooood.

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head

Here's lookin at you, kid...

"I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world"

Finished watching Casablanca this afternoon... man i love this movie. I'm so glad i was able to see it in film class. I need to pick up more classics like this. It's worth watching just to recognize all those famous lines.

Filled out a online profile thingy to see if i can work at Washington Mutual... not sure if i want to be a bank teller, but hey i need a job if that Insurance thingy doesn't work out. Still gotta redo my resume and gonna try and apply for one or two other things while i wait. Posting my info at Monster.com might not have been a good idea, because i get offers/calls from somewhat shady looking businesses. Not sure if i should call back and reply to them.

I'm tempted to trade in a bunch more of my DVDs at Blockbuster... i don't think i want to collect just for the sake of collecting anymore. Trying to streamline my movies into movies i truly love and would want to watch multiple times. Do i dare give up my Crossroads DVD? Hmmm....

Having nothing to do all day sucks, because i end up doing things like cleaning my bathroom. Come on ladies, how can you not like me... i clean! =P

Nuthin Doin...

Had to wake up early this morning to drive my car down around Temecula and sell it off to my dad's friend. Ah, i miss it already =( I guess the couple grand will go towards a new car... which my mom says we can look into in about a week. Unfortunatly, she said i'm limited on what i can spend to around 15 G's, give or take, unless i want to wait until i get a decent job to bump the budget up. Not really sure what i want to do right now... guess we'll see what kind of deals i can get next week. Anyway, after selling off my car, drove down to Pechanga Casino so my dad could do a little gambling. None for me... can't afford to lose money like that with little reward at the moment.

Dodgers lost =( Good year, beat expectations, so i can't be too upset.

"Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically being a fucking boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about. "

The Girl Next Door is a cool movie. Plus the soundtrack is awesome. Echo and the Bunnymen rock.

Bleh, no idea what i'm going to do this entire week, besides take a few glances at any job listings. A week off was nice, but now i need something to do. Someone hook me up with a job :(

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

The Butterfly Effect

Just finished watching The Butterfly Effect tonight... a surprsingly great movie, with a lot of scenes that really shocked me (to the success of the movie or to the fault of my recent emotional duress, i'm not quite sure). I know a lot of people were turned off by Ashton Kutcher starring, but he really does a convincingly good job with his character and the instability he faces as he attempts to change the lives of those around him for the better. I absolutely love films that deal with this kind of subject matter in a dark way... for anyone that liked Donnie Darko, this movie is right up your alley (i can think of at least one crazy girly that should like this, if you haven't seen it before). Mayhaps it's the movie showing a guy fighting to change destiny and life that resonates so well with me. Going back in time... changing those key moments that hurt you or hurt others that dictated the path they end up taking in life. What would i do differently? What *could* i do differently? And would it make a difference for the better, or just make it worse for others or myself? So many questions and so many uncertainties in my life... and so many things i hoped would work out but never did. Maybe i shouldn't watch these kind of movies, they make me feel all weird and funky.

Cos all of the stars

Are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Take what you need

And be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

Ouchies

So i found out last night why baseball players wear batting gloves (unless you're Vlad).... went out with Abe, Nik, and Anh-Thu late at night to a lighted tennis court with a couple of aluminum bats and tennis balls and decided to mess around taking some swings. So not only is my arm tired from hurling balls around, i've got a big ol' blister on my left hand from swinging the bat. I gotta say, it was pretty fun though... i don't think i've really swung a bat since middle school.

Went to Chevys all the way in Anaheim Hills with Jennifer... great chips there. She also gave me a Jimmy Eat World CD for my birthday. Great CD, i should have boughten it a year ago.

My car is being sold on Sunday. Gotta clean it out today... sigh. I'm gonna miss it. It's going to be weird not having a car for a little bit. Feel like running to get food? Whoops, no car! Want to visit my friends in San Diego? D'oh, can't drive down! Bleh.... let's recap my last 2 weeks. Didn't get the girl i like. Lost my job and source of funds. No more car to get around. Year of the Monkey blows.

Today's To Do List: Clean out car, watch Dodger game, maybe take some DVD's to trade in to Blockbuster.

I'm not alone cause the TV's on yeah.
I'm not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday.

Argh

Going through and converting all the stuff on my old page to the new one is rather tedious. Added a movies section for stupid videos, and i'm in the process of editing the pictures page to make everything look nicer and more organized. So far i've finished the first two pages, my trip to Laguna Beach and Las Vegas. I like the way they look a lot better. Eventually i'll get around to doing all of them.

So anyway, aside from webpage stuff.... everyone's askin about the test i took on Wednesday. It was a proficiency exam, and i guess you have to score well compared to everyone else to get an interview. It was a pretty difficult test, going through spelling/gramma/punctuation, analysis, math, and finally sorting/filing. The grammar stuff was pretty difficult, having to re-read all these paragraphs and lines watching for tiny mistakes. Analysis was time consuming, having to take data/info from tables and policies and answer situational questions pertaining to the given information. Math was pretty basic, but we had to do it without a calculator. Luckily it was all pretty elementary stuff thats come easy to me since grade school. It was a little weird doing divison and percentages by hand and scribbling on scratch paper though. Sorting was just organizing names and numbers, pretty easy. Only a few people finished before i did, which was like an hour and a half into a 2+ hour test. So i think i did pretty well, as i was pretty confident with most of my answers. Only a few other people my age took the test, with mostly middle aged people taking it (maybe 75+ people or so taking it total i think). I should be able to do better then them easily. Anyway, i'll find out how i did in a couple of weeks.

In other news... my car is pretty jacked up apparently, and my dad's friend will take it off our hands for 2 grand as is. I'm not sure when that'll happen though or when i'll get a new car to replace it. Not too sure how much my parents will let me spend towards a new car either since i'm currently jobless. I still want a Scion tC, except they're extremely hard to find... otherwise i might have to settle for a Mazda 3, or depending on the budget, maybe an RSX, Mazda 6, or Accord Coupe.

No plans for tomorrow, outside of goin to Chevys with Jennifer for dinner. Lookin forward to it.

Hey cool...

I got my background to look like the rest of the page! I rule!

So what's cool about having my own webspace and domain... is that i actually have to upload stuff. I went cheap so i only have 50 megs, but hey, i can still upload cool things like Abe punching Kevin in the ass!

You morons better enjoy the ad free space. 14 bucks a year to get rid of that stupid cell phone ringing ad =P

So um...

I'm still fiddling with this stuff. I wish i could figure out how to edit this stupid blogger template to make things match the rest of my page better. The buttons on top are ugly :( Trying to figure out how to snazzy it up. Poo!

New and Improved?

I think. Testing :)
