Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this.  It has been a short year, for me at least.  It's definitely been a year of change and although I'm not fond of change, this year has been the exception.  For the first time in 3 years I was single, for the first time ever I smoked weed, I met a ton of people this year, and I lost 50 pounds.  It's been a huge roller coaster ride with so many ups and so many downs.  Being single was probably the one really bad change, but I guess I got used to it.  I also kind of realized that I was the one settling and I have also met a girl that is perfection in my eyes.  Smoking is good and bad...  Yes it's drugs, but it's not so bad.  It's great for relaxing and socializing.  I don't know how or why, but I just realized how fat I was and developed this obsession with working out.  I just really got into it and at the end of the year I've lost just about 50 pounds.  It's been an interesting year, everything has changed.  I hope to build on all this next year.  Merry Christmas my friends...

The General Public Is Retarded

So I recently found out that Coca Cola had a new can for the holiday season.  You might have seen it, it's kind of silver with polar bears.  Apparently this can is being recalled because of too many complaints about it.  What was the complaint?  People couldn't tell if it was diet or regular.  Are you kidding me?  First of all it does not say diet anywhere on the can and second the nutrition facts on it tells you that theirs motherfucking calories.  This is probably why our country is so obese... People just go with what they hear.  If a regular coke can said diet, people who like diet would probably drink it and approve of it... The sad sad truth...

Second, yesterday when I went to work, this lady tried to come in before we were open.  The chairs were on the tables, the lights were off and the place was empty.  Then she knocked on the door because she couldn't tell if we were open or not.  Apparently she couldn't read either because the sign that said our hours was in her face...  She eventually left because she couldn't wait the 10 minutes until I did open.

Thirdly, I was working at Linguini's and I overheard a lady complain about an article because instead of saying how many feet it said how many yards and she didn't know what a yard was.  Are you serious?  You've gone this far in life without knowing what a yard is.  The guys attempt to explain it to her was pretty bad too because he claimed that a yard was the same as a meter.  It took a lot of discipline for me not to tell these people how retarded they are...

Sometimes I just wonder what the thought process of a lot of these people are and how the fuck have they lived this long...

I Stay Sick

Something that happens with me is that when I get sick, I stay sick.  It is my fault though because I just don't like to rest or sit around.  I get bored easily, kind of like in an ADHD kind of way.  It might be why I enjoy going to the gym so much, it uses my focus and gets rid of a ton of excess energy.  So being someone who doesn't like to rest and doesn't sleep because I've developed some weird form of insomnia, I don't heal quickly.  I hate not doing something because it's just pointless to me.  Also when you don't sleep, you have so much time on your hands.  Probably the main reason why I made a fitness blog and videos, plus I enjoy it.  I hope this sickness doesn't last more than a week, but knowing myself, it'll probably be until the end of winter that I heal up.  Sad, but true.

Going Crazy

So I'm pretty sick right now and I can't think straight.  My focus at work was really low.  One of the more ridiculous things I did was confusing a thai tea with a mocha.  One is orange and the other is brown so it's a pretty awful mistake.  My energy level was so low that Blossom gave me tomorrow off, which I'm pretty happy about because I hate getting up before Noon.  I didn't go to class and I slept from 6pm to midnight.  I even skipped the gym which is probably the hugest rarity of all.  Hopefully getting a lot of rest will help me get better.

New Addiction

Who knew a phone could be so ridiculous?  I can't believe how much I'm on this thing and it's only been one day!  Switching from the shittiest piece of shit to something much higher tech is crazy.  I feel like this phone can do anything because it pretty much can.  It's incredible and I love it, but I hope I don't too crazy with it.  If any of you hang out with me and I'm on my phone a lot, please tell me.  I do prefer reality over fantasy....

My Idea

So today I got my iphone and I've decided to put it to use right away!  My idea is to make a fitness blog and post videos of my workouts with Gosumike.  I am really excited because I do plan to become a personal trainer sometime in the near future.  Hopefully people be interested, but if not that's okay too.  I have a lot of time on my hands anyways since I don't sleep.  The blog url will be liftwithus.blogspot.com  and I hope you guys join us for our workouts.  And for those of you who know us you can make fun of how retarded we look...

Happy Thanksgiving

I haven't blogged in so long I don't know where to start.  I've been kind of busy with work and I can't complain, I'm getting good hours.  I guess I'll start with Monday.  So I started this new weightlifting program called Power Bodybuilding and it requires me to lift really heavy shit.  I did back on Monday and it still hurts... I might have injured it, but I hope not.  This is a warning, do not lift shit you've never lifted before.

Now skipping to Thanksgiving.  I did the same thing I've done for the last 22 years.  My family had a lunch and a shit ton of people came over, mainly family and friends.  My mom usually cooks most of the food which is a lot of food.  We had chow mein, potatoes and cheese, sticky rice, sweet potatoes and marshmallows, ribs, salad, egg rolls, a bunch of other stuff I forgot or didn't eat and a Turkey!  O and I can't forget that my work gave me a free turkey!  This doesn't even include the stupid amount of pie we had... Chicken pot pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin tart pie, chocolate mocha cake thing?, ice cream cake and a pumpkin cheesecake my sister made.  She's a pastry chef so it was fucking amazing and you missed out...  I watched all the football games, passed out on my couch taking a nap sometime during the day and ate myself into a food coma at 8:30.  I did not go Black Friday shopping because I slept for 16 hours!

My Friday and Saturday were about the same... I had work at Linguini's both days and after work I played pool with friends.  I had a few friends come home from Southern California for Thanksgiving and it was nice to hang out with them.  Pool was fun especially since the place we go to is a pool hall/bar which means its extra fun with liquor.  On Friday night we went to Chinatown afterwards and on Saturday we went to this Diner called Nikko's.  We had never been to Nikko's before, it's a 24 hour diner just outside of Alameda and it was pretty decent.  I had a Linguisa and cheese omelette and it was pretty good.  They also have something called a Hobo Burger and I think I'll have to try that next time... 

Sunday was family time again... We had a red egg and ginger party for my cousin's newborn baby.  It was a buffet style event in Chinatown.  It was okay, better than previous parties I had been to at this place.  It's called Silver Dragon and I'm not too fond of it...  After lunch I went home and watched the Raiders win (Sweet).  Afterwards we had another Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house which she cooked.  We had a smoked turkey, tri tip, mashed potatoes, this bacon vegetable thing that was pretty good and I'm blanking on the other food we had, but there was more...  I hadn't gone too the gym in 3 days so today I had to go.  I think I gained 7 pounds from the previous 3 days and its time to get to work.  We did back and biceps today.  I didn't too heavy because I'm trying to work my back slowly.  I did get in about 10 games of basketball which was pretty fun, but afterwards I did feel like shit.  In the end of it my back still hurt, my left abdominal area cramped and I might have turf toe because this big ass Mongolian guy landed on it.  My body hurts, but its a good hurt? I guess? Maybe? Its good to be optimistic?  I don't know, but I'll be blogging regularly again.  Good night readers...

Ridiculous Dream

So last night I had the most ridiculous of dreams.  It started out with me getting on a plane with a lot of my co workers from Linguini's which is weird because I only hang out with one of them.  Then somehow we found out that someone was going to bomb the plane so we all hid in this stairwell type bomb shelter which was in the plane...  Kind of like the stairwells you see in hotels.  The plane wasn't bombed because a bunch of cops showed up and we were "safe" for the time being.  Then we were headed to the parking lot, I forgot which people I was with, but when we got to the 4th floor we saw 3 big suspicious black vans parked by themselves.  It was right then I knew that these were the guys trying to bomb the plane.  Then 3 terrorists came out of the vans... and I knew 2 of them.  One of them is kind of irrelevant in my life, but the other one was my workout partner and you might think the afghan one which is kind of racist, but I do workout with an afghan dude, but NO it was GosuMike.  GosuMike was a fucking terrorist trying to bomb the plane that I was on.  So the first guy I knew, I took his rifle from him somehow and I shot him and the other terrorist.  GosuMike on the other hand, I did not shoot, I held the rifle by the barrel and beat the shit out of him with the handle.  I don't I killed him because that's where my dream ended.  Weird dream huh? I wonder what it meant...

Ex Relationships

A little while back I hung out with a friend and I called her Bee in this blog.  She had asked me what had happened in my relationship and if I was over my ex.  I told her what happened and that I was over her, but she told me it would take half the time I dated this girl to get over her.  I dated her for 3 years and we broke up in January so according to her I still have like 7 months or so.  In the beginning I thought I would never get over Felicity and I just sat in my room watching How I Met Your Mother all day long.  Well a couple months past and I found 2 jobs, joined the gym and found interest in other girls.  So I did think I was over her for the time being.

Lately I find myself thinking and dreaming about her.  Usually when I'm by myself and I think about the times we used to have.  And it doesn't help that I see her uncles at the gym, her cousins at both my works, and her cousins boyfriend who works at the store next to mine.  I mean we did have many many good times and we were together for  years so I guess it would take quite some time...  I also worry a bit about her because I don't really approve of the people she hangs out with.  So I haven't really met these people... but the one girl she mainly hangs out with.... and I don't like to judge, but she's fat, ugly, her facebook posts are annoying and well she disgusts me in every way.  Why would I want someone I care about to hang out with such a person?  Also she's very pushy and Felicity is too nice to ever push back.  If I were to ever meet this girl I would probably shit on her verbally....  Another reason why I think of her sometimes is that I have changed a lot.  Many of the changes I made are the problems she had with me and it just makes me wonder...  These are just some of my thoughts  for tonight and I guess I have 7 months to go.  Thanks for the advice Bee...

Exhausted

This week has been extremely exhausting.  I've been working everyday, going to the gym and haven't been able to sleep until pretty late.  A few people have been irritating me and I'm still no where when it comes to what I want to do with my life.  Although my dad has been talking to me about opening a business.  Not directly, but he keeps hinting at it even though businesses cost a ton of money that I just don't have...

Yesterday was my sister's birthday so I went over to her house with my parents.  She actually went out to eat with her husband while me and my parents baby sat little baby G.  He's grown bigger since I last saw him, but he doesn't like me much.  It was cold and I was wearing a hood so he started crying when I walked into the room.  He was also staring at me while he was eating and hes fussy when I carry him.  It's probably because I don't get to see him that much.  After my sisters house I went to PIC's house.  She threw a party because her mom went to the Philippines and it was pretty fun.  Everyone there pretty much drank and smoked.  My tolerance for alcohol has gone severely down.  I was really tired at around 3 am and I just crashed on her couch.  I woke up around noon and drove home.

Today I had a different day at work.  Instead of bussing, I was the host.  It was really weird, because I had never done it before, but it was really easy.  I get less money because I don't tips, but I'm fine with it because it was an extra shift that I don't usually get.  I got it because the hostess is new and she's still in high school so my boss doesn't think she's ready to be working more than 2-3 days per week.  Even though the shift was really easy, it was pretty nerve racking.  My boss was standing next to me the whole time to answer phones and she's scary. 

I bought 3 hats a couple days ago and they came today so I'm really happy about that.  Also tomorrow is football which is also nice.  I'm ready to just sit for most of the day and do nothing until I have work at 5....

My Weekend Was Awesome...

Let's start my weekend on Friday.  It started with breakfast with BB.  We went to Ole's and it was pretty good.  They had pumpkin pancakes that I wanted to try, but the pork lovers omelet caught my eye first.  I mean you can't go wrong with bacon.... except for the inevitable heart attack, but that's later anyways.  I worked both jobs and ended up getting off around 10 and then we had a "shift managers" meeting at Tap Ex.  I put it in quotations because I don't act like a shift manager, I'm just like a big kid.  After the meeting I went to Tiki Lounge with PHJ and Blossom.  I was supposed to go to a Hookah bar with PIC and Lucky, but I got scared and I'm not into tobacco products.  Tiki Lounge had Halloween special drinks and they were pretty good.  The cutest server there was dressed up as Yoda and she was being funny... Can't go wrong with cute funny people.  After last call we met up with PIC. Lucky, BDK, and a couple other people I didn't know and we burned it in the parking lot.  Pretty chill, relaxing good time in the Tap Ex parking lot.  I was super cross faded and when that happens I pass out.  I slept until like 3 30 pm the next day.

Luckily on Saturday I didn't have work until 6 pm.  Work was great because it was slow and I got a bunch of free stuff.  I got a free steak because it was overcooked and free cookies because they weren't soft enough to serve.  My boss even gave me a free pumpkin just for the hell of it.  She said I could have it as long as I didn't throw it at anyone..  After work I went to karaoke with PHJ, Blossom, BDK, Lucky, and Le Gu.  I love music and I love to sing.... We sang until like 3 or 4 am...  Unluckily I had work at 10 am...

Sunday I worked until 5 pm and it was pretty slow...  I didn't really do anything, but I did win in fantasy football which is a plus.  I lost 36 dollars in sports bets which made me sad because the winless Rams beats the Saints which is fucking ridiculous...  I ended up going to the gym by myself, lifting weights and playing basketball.  Also I'm getting an Iphone 4s soon which I'm happy about.  It should be coming in a week or 2, but it will take quite some time to get used to it...  I've never used a smart phone and honestly it will probably be a hassle to use for a little bit...

Random Thought

What would it be like to be handicapped?  This random thought came to mind because I was working at Linguini's tonight and well a few handicapped people came in.  The first table was a blind couple.  Yes they were both blind and I was pretty worried about them because our tables are pretty small and they had a lot of stuff on their table.  I was especially worried about their drinks because they were close to the edge of the table.  Are their other senses heightened?  Do they have super hearing, taste, or feel?  How do blind people survive out in the open?  I know they have their sticks, but shit they can't see.  And also the man was drinking beer.  How does he feel when he is intoxicated?  Does he start walking into poles and act goofy?  I honestly can't imagine a goofy blind person...  I was just worried about them even though I know they probably do just fine because they've learned to adapt...

The next handicapped person to walk in was a man with one arm and he was eating by himself.  My first thought about him and I know it's a silly thought, but it was "How the hell is this guy going to put butter on his bread?"  It was probably the least of his worries, but still.  Does he grab the bread put it on the plate, get some butter and attempt to spread it like that?  I would imagine that would be quite difficult and fucking frustrating.  When I'm hungry I want to fucking eat and it would piss me the fuck off if it took me hella long to prepare my food.  I was pretty curious to how he would eat, but I didn't watch him.  It's pretty rude to stare and I'm pretty sure he gets enough of that already.

These were just some of the thoughts going through my head.  Yes they're weird, but they're really my thoughts...  I would hate to be handicapped, but I guess like anyone I would have to adapt.  I didn't feel bad for them thought because they were all capable and just living their lives.  If they weren't capable they wouldn't be out in public enjoying good food, so good for them.

Sunday Was Good To Me

To start off I had the whole day off and let's talk about friends.  I was supposed to eat breakfast with GosuMike, but I overslept.  I woke up around 12 30 and I called him to see if he wanted to still eat.  Breakfast food is amazing at anytime of the day so of course we went to eat.  We went to Lynn's and Lu's because BB was working.  GosuMike was taking me out to eat for my birthday because I took him to eat on his.  It took awhile to get our schedules aligned, but it finally happened.  He had the eggs benedict and I had the eggs a la Justin plus bacon.  Later we had dinner with BB and Gamer.  We were going to go to Yo Jimbo, but it was closed so we decided to go to Flavors of India.  The service was pretty awful, the server took a ridiculously long time and he was pretty rude.  We all ordered different types of lamb with a few orders of Garlic Naan, which is like Indian bread.  The food was pretty good, but not worth the awful service... We will not be going back anytime soon, but as far as friends and food goes, today was great.

Second let's talk about sports.  So I play in a fantasy football league with a bunch of my friends.  This week I was playing against Vandal which is an incredibly important match up because both our teams suck ass and we're fighting for 6th place (out of 8 teams).  My best player got injured which made me sad, but I won the match.  Both our teams did terribly as expected, but my team did less terrible.  As i said in my last post, I also bet on a few games to make my Sunday even more exciting.  I lost one bet and won one, but the one I won was bigger.  I won 55 dollars today, which is actually like 7 hours of work for me so I'm happy about that.  As far as sports goes, today was almost as good as it gets.

Finally let's talk about the gym.  Today I went to the gym by myself because GosuMike had an essay to write.  I was pretty worried because I was informed that my headaches might be kind of serious although I am glad to be informed.  Thank you for that Dr. Kay.  I decided today I would go lighter to see how I felt.  I did more reps instead to try to get a similar burn and it was a pretty good session.  No huge headache or wanting to vomit.  I was pretty relieved although I still probably want to get myself checked on.  I'm not sure when this will happen because I'm pretty laid back on these kinds of things, but as far as Sundays go, today was as good as it gets...

Headaches

Lately when I've been working out I get these huge headaches.  Usually on the intense exercises that require a lot of power like benching, pull-ups, or deadlifts.  It's like my neck tenses up and I can feel the blood pumping throughout my body.  It almost instantly gives me a migraine like headache and I just can't lift anymore.  Also there are times I feel like puking.  I don't think it's that the weight is too heavy because I used to be able to lift these.  I want to take a few days off, but I also don't want to.  When I take days off from lifting I feel fat.  I think I will just go lighter to see how I feel for the next few days...

Tomorrow is Sunday and that means there's football on.  I bet on a few games because I like to gamble and it adds a little more excitement to all of the games.  Well wish me luck!  =)

What I Do Best.

Procrastinating.  Putting things off.  Waiting until the last possible moment to do something that is supposedly important.  This is what I do best and I've always done it....  I have a midterm tomorrow and I have yet to open my book this semester.  It's not like I care enough about this class to take it seriously, but still I should be studying.  I will probably read sometime before my midterm, possibly before I sleep or maybe after work, and the majority of the time I just say fuck studying....

To be honest, in my time of searching for what I want to do with my life... I'm quite happy with my current situation.  I know it sounds silly, but working this much and going to the gym is pretty satisfying.  It's hard to explain because during the day I'm consistently dealing with people I don't like, complaints, retarded ass kids, but at the end of day I'm just like I'm done, I can got to the gym and I can smile.  I don't make much money and the work is tiring, but I actually feel extremely good at the end of each day.  For now I'm happy with what I'm doing and it's a great filler until I find out what I want to do with my life...

Real Steel

I spent most of the day with my dad because I had it off.  First I took him to eat breakfast at Lynn's and Lu's because he had never been there and BB was working.  My dad had eggs a la Justin which is an eggs benedict with avacado and tomato instead of canadian bacon and I had eggs lox which is salmon.  The food is amazing and the service is great.  BB is hella tall so he can get anywhere on the floor in 3 steps or less.... So breakfast was great as usual and afterwards we headed to AMC Emeryville.

We watched Real Steel which has Hugh Jackman in it.  The movie is about robot boxing and it was awesome...  I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the movie.  It had a pretty good plot, great action, suspense (sorry if I hype this up to much) and I loved it.  There's something about fighting that I just enjoy.  I've said before that sometimes I just want to fight and when I was a kid I did get into a lot of fights.  I got my arm broken when I was four...  The adrenaline, anger, speed, and mainly the pain...  Probably the main reason why I enjoyed this movie so much.  It was a excellent father son movie and my dad enjoyed it too, so I definitely recommend this movie to anyone... 

Breakfast with BB

Like I said before, I love breakfast foods and BB works at a breakfast place called Lynn's and Lu's which is awesome.  So I was supposed to meet at Gamer's house at 8, but I overslept and got there around 8:30.  BB drove me to the restaurant, paid for parking, and then paid for my meal.  It was a very nice gesture and pretty much made my day.  We talked about school, work and friends, nothing too serious. 

After breakfast I walked to work from Gamer's house and well work sucked.  It was busy as hell and my useless ass co worker didn't do fucking shit, but that's basically what I expect from his useless ass by now.  After work I walked back to Gamer's house, drove home and took a 3 hour nap.  I went to class, but it was too boring to stay.  My midterm got pushed back a week because my class is too retarded to understand the material...

After class I went to the gym with GosuMike.  It was a rest day so we just played basketball.  I played terribly and my endurance is awful...... I get tired after 2-3 games and just stop running.  Today was confusing, fantastic start, ugly middle, okay finish....

Beautiful Day

So today was sunny which was weird because it has been kind of stormy for a couple of days this week.  I decided since it was so nice outside, that I would walk to work.  It was about a 45 minute walk and it felt great.  Its kind of nice to just be with your thoughts and music.  It's also very logical because I have to eat an early breakfast which normalizes my meal times (I can eat lunch at like 12 or 1 instead of 2 or 3), I get in 2 cardios during the day because I have to walk back home, I save gas (I basically make negative money) and I don't have to look for parking (which is a bitch).  There's a lot of pros and the only con is that I have to wake up earlier which isn't so bad.  So from today on, I will be walking to work if weather permits.

So I have been having a bit of an identity crisis lately.  It hasn't been as bad since those 2 weeks I was faded...  I have talked to or received advice from quite a few of you and I am glad.  One of my favorite things is talking to people who are logical and social.  Making money to me isn't nearly as important as it is to be happy.  If I can find a job that I enjoy and make enough to survive, then I will be incredibly happy.  That's the main problem, finding something that I enjoy.

So here are the few of the things that were suggested to me and I've kind of put to the side.  One of them was bartender which was a pretty good suggestion.  It's social, doesn't take too long to learn, and the money isn't terrible.  The reason why I don't like it is because I think I would crack under pressure, I'm not good with my hands, and with my experience making drinks so far (tapioca drinks) I'm incredibly messy.  Another suggestion was doctor's assistant, which wouldn't be terrible because I do like helping people and I was told that the money is decent.  Here's the problem... 2 more years of school.  I'm terrible at school and 2 years isn't that long, but I don't think I can keep my focus for that long.  The last one that I will mention is mechanic.  This friend realized that I'm kind of done with school for now and this would be something I could possibly learn.  It's interesting, hands on, and possibly enjoyable.  The only con again is that I'm bad with my hands, but I don't know if that should stop me.  These are just some of the suggestions from the opinions I completely trust.

The one thing that I think I would absolutely enjoy doing is personal trainer.  The problem is that the money is extremely shaky.  In order to make money, I would need clients and clients are never guaranteed.  It wouldn't take me that long to get certified, I would be interested in what I'm studying, its social and I'm addicted to fitness these days.  Like I said earlier, being happy is more important than being rich, but I have to make enough money to survive and I honestly don't know if I would be able to survive on an unstable paycheck.  One other thing that I have thought about in the past is becoming a day trader.  I am a huge risk taker and if there's anything I am incredibly good at, it's recognizing patterns.  I know there's more to day trading than these, but I think I could learn.  Now here comes the huge buzzkill....  My mom works for an investment banking company and I would need permission to trade every time and that would make it impossible...

So these are all the thoughts wandering my mind these days, plus work and girl....  I will continue to juggle these thoughts on the way to and from work everyday.  Tomorrow I'm going to have breakfast with BB which is good because he is one of the friends that I talk to and get advice from plus I haven't seen him in awhile.

Brunch

I think brunch is probably one of the best meals ever.  First of all I love breakfast foods... and then brunch is usually a chill and relaxing environment which I enjoy as well.  Yesterday I went to brunch with Blossom, Friend and some of their friends and it was awesome.  We went to Cafe Biere in Oakland and they had bottomless mimosas.  First they start you off with the original orange juice and champagne mimosa, but every time you finish your glass they give you a fresh new flavor.  I had grapefruit, grape, watermelon, and cucumber mimosas.  They were all pretty good and I was pretty buzzed before we even got our food.  I had a lamb burger which was pretty big and it tasted amazing... Lamb is one of my favorite meats.

After brunch we went to one of the friend's house where they watched Ip Man 3 and I passed out for 3 hours.  After that we went to this restaurant in Berkeley called Noodle Theory.  I have been there before and it was one of my favorite noodle places to eat at.  I had duck curry noodles which is my usual, but I didn't eat too much of it because I was still full from brunch.

After dinner I went to the gym by myself to do a little bit of cardio, met up with some friends to smoke and went home for a good nights rest...  I think I got at least 10 hours of sleep yesterday.... 

Back to Reality

First off, I would like to thank all the people that talked to me about my situation in the last post.  It really helped me out and I did talk to my friend.  Neither scenario occurred, they listened and said they would try and that's good because that's all I ask....  It wasn't as harsh as what I was going to originally gunna say because I found a better way to say it.  So thank you again for all your help.  All of those who talked to me basically told me what I had to do....

So about my week...  I haven't drank all week which is pretty good... I have smoked twice, but I'm also trying to less.  I sold some of it to a guy who works next door...  I've been working quite a bit which is why I haven;t been updating.  My boss did give me most of the week off at Linguini's, but my co-worker was sick 2 days in a row so I covered for her.  I also covered 2 shifts at tap so my week has been pretty busy.  I've kind of lost my patience when it comes to a lot of customers.  When they order most of my thoughts are... Shut your face, your voice bothers me, or hurry the fuck up, or learn how to speak motherfucking English....  I know these aren't fair, but I just can't help myself.  Well, I do have tomorrow off so maybe it will help.

Last night was a pretty good night.  I smoked with PIC and Lucky in PIC's driveway.  BTW this is the girl that I have a huge crush on, but she has a boyfriend =(.  Anyways we chilled in her house, ate kim chee noodles and watched this pothead movie called Smileyface.  Afterwards I went home and passed out.  It was the first time I had ever seen her house....

One positive about this week is that I have gone to the gym everyday.  I'm starting to get back in my routine and also I'm starting a new program called Blood and Guts by Dorian Yates.  Hopefully it works because I will be putting in work at the gym everyday.  Also tomorrow I'm eating brunch that has bottomless mimosas tomorrow which makes me happy...  Until next time..

As much as my lack of identity and knowing what I want to do with my life bothers me... something else bothers me even more today.  Would you risk the friendship of one of your closest friends in an attempt to keep them from getting hurt?  It may seem illogical because I have very little chance of succeeding, but the way I see it is a little different.  I appreciate everything this person has done for me and I listen to what they have to say.  I'm willing to do a lot for this person, but it pains me to watch them get hurt.  I don't know how much longer I can watch this and I have a lot to say, but I don't know if I can say these things.  So the way I see it is, the greater the friend, the greater the risk, but doesn't that make them even more worth it to help.  So if I do say the things I need to say then I see these scenarios...

Scenario 1: They listen, we're still friends and we go back to life.  This is the best, but least likely scenario.

Scenario 2: They don't care, they're hurt by what I've said and I lose my one of my closest friends.  This is much more likely....

Both of my scenarios are extreme because with what I have to say, there's pretty much no in between.  I don't even know how I can bring myself to tell them.  I'm so torn by this and I can't even believe I'm thinking about it.  It's a ridiculous battle that I don't think I can win.  Would you risk the friendship of one of your closest friends in an attempt to help them and no guarantees? 

your advice is greatly appreciated....

What happened yesterday?

So yesterday was ADL's funeral and service.  It was at Chime's Chapel in Piedmont and a ton of people showed up.  The chapel only fit 180 people, but he knew a lot of people.  A few people gave speeches about his life, his passion, and just how he was.  It was really emotional, but I feel like I understand him a little better...  I mean he was my boss and you're not supposed to like your boss...  He was a little weird, but in a good way and he touched many people's lives.  I will miss him a lot and I didn't even know him that well....

After the service there was a luncheon at Silver Dragon in Oakland Chinatown.  I sat with all my coworkers at a table and instantly started abusing the open bar.  It was just wine and beer, but alcohol is alcohol....  I don't remember how much I drank or what we even ate.  I just remember drinking white wine and the rest of the day is extremely hazy.  When we left we all went to the dinos to go smoke, but I was too fucked up.  I was puking at the dinos and I forgot why we left, but I got dropped off at the store.  I was puking in the bathroom and I eventually passed out in the store.  I woke up around 7 or 8 pm still pretty drunk.  I don't even know how I managed to go to my other work, check my schedule, and drive myself home.  When I got home I saw my parents and passed out in my bed.  I slept until about 4 am, got up and started puking again.

I've felt like Edward Norton when he was in Fight Club.    When I'm drunk and/or high I change completely and then when I'm sober I don't even remember what happened, but I get these kinds of DeJavu.  For the past couple of weeks I have not been sober for one day.  I've had a little bit of trouble telling what is real and what isn't, whether or not I'm awake or asleep.  It's been a weird experience and I've even had a bit of a identity crisis of "Who am I?" and "What am I doing?".  I think this is something I should start figuring out soon.....

Past Week

The past week has gone by really fast.  It's almost been like a weird dream where I am high and tired at night and then groggy when I wake up for work.  My memory has been kind of hazy.  It's been 9 straight days and I feel pretty good.  I've only been to the gym twice in the past couple of days.  I find myself spacing out a lot and I've been thoughtless and unfocused for awhile now.  I haven't worked at Linguini's for a week.  I requested it off because for those of you who don't know yet, my boss at Tap Ex passed away in a biking accident.  We've been in shock and kind of just been working and hanging out.  It's been a little chaotic, but we're hanging on....

I Never Was Good At...

Expressing my sorrow.  I didn't want to see you today because I don't like seeing people in such emotional pain, but I knew I had to.  I had some stuff to say, but nothing came out of my mouth.  What can I say or what should I say?  If I feel this much pain, I can only imagine the pain everyone else is feeling.  Here is what I had to say, but couldn't.  I'm sorry for your loss, I know this must be a hard time for you, but you can get through it.  If there's anything you need at all, we're all here for you.  I don't know what it is that made me unable to say these two simple sentences.  Maybe it was the fact that you were in better shape than I expected.  You were still focused, able to function, able to understand that he passed doing something he loved.  Maybe I didn't have to say anything because you've probably heard a lot by now.  I'm so sorry and I hope we can all help in the present and future....

Past Few Days

Thursday
Thursday was a really good day.  No homework, no work and just class from 6-9.  A really simple day with nothing to do.  After class I went to Blossom's house with Blossom, PHJ, Lucky, PIC, and BDK.  We had a pretty crazy session.  Lucky made a bong out of a water bottle, we also smoked out of pipe and blunts.  We had burritos ready to go from the taco truck and we watch Wilfred until 2 am.  Wilfred is such a pothead show.  It's about this guy and his dog, but he sees his dog as another person that acts like a dog.  They're both potheads together and its pretty hilarious.  Also it stars Elijah Wood...

Friday
I had work at both places on Friday, but both were pretty slow.  It was Princess Peachy's birthday celebration.  We went clubbing at this club called Vessel in San Francisco.  There was about 13 people in our group.  This is going to be a nameless and faceless night because that's kind of how I remember it.  I smoked a blunt with a couple of people before we went in.  When we got in we took some shots and hit the dance floor.  The night went by fast and I danced with a few girls in the group.  I normally wouldn't, but I was more "gone" than I should have been.  Alcohol can make people do crazy things.  There was these 2 people dancing near us.  They were friends of someone's coworker and they were just going crazy.  It was one girl and one guy.  The girl looked pretty conservative, but after some drinks she was just a Freaknasty slut on the dance floor.  She definitely couldn't control herself because half time she was on the floor and later she was just making out with the guy she was dancing with, who I later found out was not her boyfriend, because I thought he was.  I just thought that was pretty hilarious.  I got home around 4 and passed out.  It was a pretty good night...

Saturday
Saturday was a fairly long day.  Had work at 10 am, but the weather was gloomy so Tap Ex was very slow.  Right when I got off I had to work at Linguini's which was really busy.  I got off at 10 30 and went back to Tap Ex because Blossom and PHJ wanted to get drinks after work.  It was a pretty stressful day for all of us.  The store doesn't close until 12 so I smoked a blunt with Lucky while we waited.  I went to a Korean Bar in Oakland with Blossom, PHJ and BDK after they got off.  We got a pitcher of yogurt soju, some kim chee fried rice, tacos, and tofu.  Afterwards we smoked some more at Blossom's house. None of use had work the next day which is my favorite time to smoke, when there's no obligation afterwards.  I passed out at Blossom's until like 8 am.


Sunday
There was a Food Festival in Jack London and I went with Blossom, PHJ, BDK, Friend, and V.  The food there was pretty good.  They had stands all over the placed and most of the food was 5 dollars.  There was some crazy shit there though.  The food I ate wasn't too crazy, I had spicy pork, a citrus pork flat bread sandwich, spicy corndog, crepe, and beignet.  Blossom and Friend bought some crazy popsicles.  One was hibiscus, mint, and grape flavored which tasted kind of like the add-ons for pho.  The other popsicle was thai tea and sweet potato flavored which was pretty good.  They had a bacon and egg flavored popsicle, but they ran out and I was very sad, because that sounds ridiculous and I wanted to try it.  After the food festival, PHJ went home and I went to Emeryville with everyone else.  Me and Blossom had to buy a gift for Princess Peachy because her real birthday is on Tuesday.  We bought her a pea coat or something like that... Since we were already in Emeryville we decided to watch a movie.  We watched Killer Elite which I enjoyed.  It was kind of confusing, but I liked the action in it.  We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner.  I don't really like going out for pizza and pasta because I can just get it at work, but I had never been to CPK.  It was pretty good, I just had a sandwich and soup.  After dinner I went to the dinos, which is kind of like a big empty area that's kind of calm and an area we smoke at.  I went with most of my co workers from tap ex, BDK and a co worker from Linguini's, his name is JM.  We lit up a few blunts and smoked for a bit.  Of course we got hungry so we ended up going to King of Thai to eat.  I had salmon with green curry which was pretty good, but I prefer my usual pumpkin duck curry.  We called it a night and that pretty much sums up my weekend.  It was a pretty good weekend, for the most part...

Time to Relax

Summer is basically over and it's been fun.  Yesterday Vandal and Bum went back to LA and Irvine for school.  Chorean will also be back in Davis as well for school.  School started for GosuMike yesterday and everyone else pretty much went back to LA already or has started school or work.  It has been a long summer and I'm pretty worn out from all the late nights and early mornings.

For the next couple weeks I'm just going to lay low and relax for a bit.  I just bought a shit ton of weed and I am just going to smoke and chill for the next week or two.  I don't generally smoke, but it's a good feeling when you've had a long day and you just want to kick back.  It's been a long summer and I need a little bit of rest to recharge myself.  I'll still be going to the gym and of course I'll be working, but it's not as crazy when you're not staying out until 6 am almost every night.  I have today off which is nice and I don't even have homework to do which is even better....

After I rest for a bit, it's back to business.  Work is a given, but it's time to start studying for school, hit the gym harder, possibly play more basketball, and maybe even start my diet again.  I've been lazy this summer and also shortening my workouts.  My goal was to lose 8-10 more pounds which I haven't.  I've stayed exactly the same weight all summer, which isn't too bad considering how little I've worked out and how bad my diet has been.  It's going to be a good 2 weeks... and an even better few months going forward.

Addiction

Let's talk about addictions....  I think we can all agree that addictions are bad no matter what it is or how harmless it seems.  It starts out small, something that you just do for fun and then it grows like wildfire.  You can't control it, you think about it, and you crave it.  I'd have to say I've been addicted to many things in my life, but surprisingly never drugs or alcohol.  Being an avid player of games I would say that I was addicted to a few games in my life.  The biggest probably being Halo 2.  I was in high school when it came out and it became my life.  There were many times when my parents caught me playing when I was supposed to be studying or at 6 am when I was supposed to be sleeping.  It was so bad that they had to take my power chord away from me so I couldn't even use my xbox.  I don't even know how or why I stopped playing... It was probably because Halo 3 came out or something like that...

Now to the biggest addiction of my life.  Some of you know about it, but most of you don't know how big it really was.  A few years ago I started playing a game called poker.  I didn't play too much until I started going to Davis because when I was in Davis, it was basically just me and my girlfriend at the time, Felicity.  The two things I cared most about in my life were her and poker.  She couldn't even get me to stop playing, no matter what.  It was just one of those things that started out for fun too, but it consumed me.  I played all the time, I didn't study, I didn't go to class, I didn't want to eat...  It was everything to me and it even controlled my mood.  There were times when I just felt invincible.... winning as much as 3,000 dollars in a night and times when I would just feel like shit losing similar amounts in a night.  It was an uncontrollable hunger and I even knew it was bad for me.  I just couldn't stop myself and at the end of the day, I withdrew from college, lost my girlfriend, and lost money in the area of roughly five digits....  It pretty much destroyed my life and that's what it took for me to quit.  It's going to take some time to rebuild myself, but I've started....

If you have an addiction, you have to fight it...  This is something I take very seriously because it happened to me.  You have to realize just how bad it is before it destroys you.  It will eat at you, control you, hurt you...  If your friend's advice hasn't helped you, then maybe telling you my story will... Even if it's just a little. 

Bad Couples

Let's talk about bad couples because I know a few.  I'm not talking about odd couples because I know a few of those too.  Odd couples make look a little weird and act a little differently than your average couple, but at the end of the day they are happy and fine.  That's all that really matters...  Bad couples on the other hand...  They just bother me so much.  Why would you be with someone who consistently doesn't listen, doesn't care about shit you do and frustrates you?  I mean it's fine to fight... but to be constantly frustrated.  What makes it worth the fight?  What does your significant other do for you now that is going to make you happy later?  If they haven't changed by now, what makes you think they will change anytime soon?  There's almost always a better option, but in this case there could be so many better options.  YOU JUST DON'T WORK!  I'm just saying, you could do better... A lot better...  I just hope some of you figure it out sooner or later because the only person who is going to be hurt is you...

Day Off

My day began around noon when I woke up.  I didn't have much to do for the day because well, I had to do homework....  I'm a huge procrastinator and homework takes forever.  So I started doing homework and this girl facebook messaged me.  I didn't know who it was and she didn't know me either, but apparently facebook suggested me as a friend and I accepted her request.  We actually talked for about an hour about random stuff.  She eventually left and I went to Tapioca Express to pick up my paycheck.

I wanted to get my paycheck before my boss left because I was supposed to get a raise a month ago, but he forgot.  I was happy to find out that he did give me a raise.  It just so happened that the girl I have a crush on was getting off at that time and wanted to cash her check.  She asked me to walk with her so I agreed.  We went to AHS first because she wanted to volunteer at the high school once a week.  Then we went to Longs because she needed a money order and then we finally went to the bank to cash her check.  Then we went to a shoe store called district and she bought a pair of vans.  She was very happy to get her pair of shoes and seeing her happy makes me smile.  She just has that kind of affect on people I feel.  I was kind of hungry so I went to this place I like called Scolari's.  I love this place because the specials change everyday and the food is really good there.  Today I got lamb sliders and a slice of banana, chicken, curry pizza and they were both pretty awesome.  After lunch I really had to get my homework done so I went home.

Homework took me a couple more hours and it sucked.  I barely finished and I rushed to school.  I was late like I usually am and class was boring was fuck as it usually is.  The first 2 hours were going over the homework and I just left after that.  I stopped by Bum's house, played a game of Starcraft 2 and went home.  When I got home, the girl started talking to me again.  She asked what I wanted to talk about which was really weird, but she was pretty cool.  She seems really social to be talking to a random stranger....

After that I got ready to go to the gym and I went with GosuMike.  We worked out our chest and triceps.  I'm actually kind of proud of him.  Hes gotten a lot stronger than he used to be and he's more focused.  After the gym we went back to Bum's house.  Vandal, BB, and Bum were already watching Sherlock Holmes.  GosuMike went home because he had work at 5 am, but Me, BB, Bum, and Vandal played this card game called Sequence.  We played like 10 games and they went by incredibly quick.  BB left and I started talking with Bum and Vandal.  It wasn't our usual talk though,  We talked about friendships, trust, girls, etc.  It was kind of an odd day altogether, but interesting....

Rough Weekend

It all started Friday when I went into work.  I worked at Tapioca Express from 10-1.  It is a very short shift and easy, but there are some factors I need to tell you about.  I am not a morning person, I haven't been getting much sleep (which is my choice because I would rather spend time with my friends before to go off to school again), and my co worker left some shit undone.  It wasn't that much stuff, but the stuff he left undone, I happened to need.  I fucking snapped and I posted on his facebook wall about how useless he was and that he needed to do a better job.  He texted me trying to defend himself, but I was too angry and his excuses were lame as fuck.  I had work later that night which wasn't too bad.

I was not looking forward to Saturday because I had work pretty much all day.  I had to work at 10 again.  Our register at Tapioca Express has been down for a week and it's annoying.  We have to do all the math and write down everyone's receipts for them and only "shift managers" can be on register.  So I was on the register all day and it was crazy busy.  PHJ had to make all the drinks and she was not happy with me.  She yelled at me because my handwriting is bad, which is true, it's fucking awful....  Well anyways it was tiring and when my lazy co worker came in, I acted normal.  I slowly finished my work and when I got off, I yelled at him.  I told him and showed him all the shit he didn't do and that he needs to be doing this stuff.  He just said okay and I went to work at Linguini's  Linguini's was really busy, but I made a pretty good amount of tips so I was happy about that.

After work we had a going away party for our hostess.  She had been there 4 years and she was leaving to become a police dispatcher.  There was free pizza, pasta, chicken wings, salad, all you can drink beers and wine.  It was pretty cool of my boss to throw the party and be so generous about it.  I don't drink beer or wine so I took some shots of Remy Martin with some of the servers.  I can't believe how delicious it was....  Remy Martin is kind of expensive and our boss cut us off, which is understandable...  After the party I went to the gym with GosuMike at like 2 30 AM and it wasn't very good because we were both tired.

Sunday was a great day.  The NFL season has started, which I am really excited about.  I play fantasy football with my friends every year and always bet with Vandal and GosuMike.  I played GosuMike in week 1 and I was losing pretty badly, but he was talking shit so I made a bet with him on week 1.  Just a friendly 5 bucks, but I felt like my team still had a chance to comeback, which it did and GosuMike looked like a chobo.  We played basketball that day and it was kinda lazy and laidback.

After basketball we went to eat this Korean food called chan jung myun or something like that.  Some sort of black bean noodle that my friends wanted to eat.  I ate with Bum, GosuMike, MooMoo, DP, and Ecoli.  They all ordered the noodle thing, but I ordered fried beef and chicken with sweet and sour pineapple sauce.  It was pretty good.

On Monday I worked the morning with Fluffy, who is the coworker I yelled at.  I could tell he was scared of me and I felt bad.  His voice is soft, but it was even weaker than usual.  He kept his distance, even doing work he doesn't usually do.  I bought him lunch because I felt bad.  Monday night I didn't have work, which meant we were going out to eat.  Hob Nob had one dollar mini cheese burgers which is something alot of us like.  I went with Ecoli, MooMoo, Bum and GosuMike.  We had 20 mini cheeseburgers, garlic fries, truffle fries and a couple of drinks.  We went to Bum's house, played a bunch of board games and called it a night.

Today I worked at Tapioca Express in the morning again.  I worked with Blossom, who is one of my favorite people to work with.  Work was pretty easy and carefree.  My coworker, who I have a huge crush on, came in which was a surprise.  She asked me to eat lunch and we went to this all you can eat Indian place, which was good.  I like their lamb and this bread that goes well with basically everything.  We talked about games, life, work and it was just a simple lunch.  She's so easy to get along with and we have so much in common its ridiculous.  The only thing I don't like about her and it doesn't even bother me that much is that she smokes.  She's pretty much the girl of my dreams and if I were to ever meet a girl just like her who didn't smoke, that girl would be perfect...

Fight Club

I wish I knew of a place where I could just go and fight.  A place where I can get rid of my aggression and anger.  Some days I just want to start a fight with someone.  For me, it's not about winning or losing, but letting it all go.  I am not an angry person, but I have been in the past.  It is very rare for me to actually be disgusted, bothered and angered by someone.  Lately though, it's slowly coming back to me.  I seriously want to use my rage because it's building up and not going away.  You're actually very lucky that my brain is very rational, but there might be a day where I can't just control myself and when that day comes... You better be ready to defend yourself.

Put it on Replay

I've said before that my a lot of my motivation comes from music.  I am easily amused and I get addicted to things extremely easily, especially music.  I usually listen to a few songs and just put them on replay.  Lately I've been listening to Fly by Rihanna/Nicki Minaj and Without you by Usher/David Guetta.  Of course many of us listen to music because we feel we can relate to it and it's the same for me.  I mean they are mostly about life and experience which is kind of why I love it so much.  Music is the one thing I will never get tired of, I am easily influenced and there is so much music out there...  Without it I would probably go even more insane than I already am...

On a side note:

Today was my first day off since August 15th and I used it to do homework.  Now I remember why I have no care for school and why I hate it so much.  I think this is one thing I hate about society.  It's so close minded and degrees are overemphasized.  I'm not going to lie, I have a huge ego and I believe that I am way smarter than the majority of the people in society today.  I'm just lazy when it comes to school, it's just not important to me.  I went to class today, but I fell asleep and left early.  Fuck that class....

After class I went to shoot around with Lancelot, Bum, and my long childhood friend and neighbor, I'll call her DG (DunnoGirl).  She beat us all at a game of HORSE and we were all sad about it.  After that I went to the gym with GosuMike.  I worked out shoulders, but I was pretty lazy.  He did shoulders and biceps, but he wasn't much better...  What I really wanted to do was play basketball with my new shoes.  We played 5 games of 3v3 and won 4 of them, but the one game we lost, we lost 16-0...  I want to be more athletic so my new focus will be cleans and snatches. 

After the gym I came home and put my songs on replay....

Nothing Lasts Forever

A few days ago, my friend Gamer made a post about how nothing lasts forever.  It's mainly about friendships and it is very sad to read.  As much as I hate this post, thought about it, and want to disagree with it... I can't.  It's true that these types of things are pretty impossible to sustain "forever".  I would love for my group of friends to last forever, but it is improbable...  I would have to say we've done a pretty good job sticking together.  I mean over the years our circle has grown smaller and even now we're not as close as we used to be.  We are fairly disconnected during the school year, but when summer comes we all see each other pretty often which is a good thing.  Now that some of them are graduated and have jobs, it's tough to say where we will go from here.

When friends disconnect, it's no one's fault...  It just kind of happens and it's a natural way of life.  We're meant to meet someone special, start a family, and focus on our careers right?  This is just growing up and it hurts to know that this is the inevitable.  I've gone this far with you guys, some a little longer, and some not so long.  I do feel like some of you will be in my life for a  very long time and I hope it's true.  Anything can happen in life and maybe we can stick together.  Cheers to what we've done together so far and hopefully we can continue being together.  You are all the people I want to spend my life with and I hope I can.  

Long Day

My coworker at Tapioca Express, I'll call him Le Gu, went to China for 3 months.  He came back on Labor Day, but went to sleep at 6 pm.  He woke up around 3 or 4 am and I happened to be awake at that time  We both decided we were hungry and went to Jack in the Box around 5.  We sat in my car and ate until 6.  We chilled and talked, but I had to go home since I had work at 10.

My boss texted me just before 10 telling me that we might not have a cash register for the day because the system was fucked up.  When I got to work the cash register was gone and my boss said we were opening at 12.  Working with no cash register kind of sucked because we had to write all the receipts by hand and figure out prices plus tax whenever someone would order something.  Luckily it wasn't too busy so I didn't get too flustered or frustrated.

After work I went home and my shoes came!  I ordered new basketball shoes last week and I've been waiting.  They are Kobe VI's and it has just been torture waiting for this day.  It was perfect timing too because GosuMike and people from his basketball league have been playing at this gym in Berkeley every Tuesday.  Me and Bum went with GosuMike to play.  Most of the people are a lot better than me, but that's okay.  It's the only for me to get better and improve on my game.  I didn't do too bad, but I did make some really poor mistakes which I need to get rid of.  It was still pretty fun and the only bad thing was I rolled my ankle.  It doesn't feel too bad right now, but I have a feeling it's going to be really sore in the morning.

After basketball we went to eat with Blossom, PHJ, and BDK.  We went to King of Thai and I had my favorite dish there, pumpkin duck curry.  I order pumpkin curry pretty much every time I go there.  After we ate I went to Bum's house to watch some Beast Wars.  It's been a pretty long and tiring day, I need to  get some rest for work tomorrow.

Better Than Old Times

To start this story I have to go back to last Wednesday night.  On Wednesday we have buy one get one free at Tap Ex and I was working.  I saw a girl I hadn't seen in 5 years.  I'll call her Bee, she's the same age as me, but a grade higher because she skipped.  She is a cute, very smart, and funny Cambodian girl and she went to San Diego for school.  She now lives somewhere else in Southern California, but she just happened to be back for a week.  We talked for a little bit and caught up.  Then I saw her again on Friday night at the gym.  I almost ran her over in the parking lot, because I was in a rush or something like that.  My bad. 

On Sunday she happened to be eating lunch with PHJ next to Tap Ex while I was working.  They said they were going shopping and Blossom was also going with them.  I needed jeans so I asked if I could come along too.  After work I went to Westfield mall in SF with PHJ, Bee, Blossom, and Blossom's best friend (I'll just call her Friend).  We went to this hat place I had never heard of called LIDS.  Bee bought a red and black SF hat.  PHJ bought a Green Lantern hat for Bum and it looks awesome.  I really wanted a Flash hat, but they didn't have it and I had one of those delusional moments where I just wanted a hat.  I tried buying a Transformers hat, but the Salesman, Bee and PHJ said it just wasn't happening....  Afterwards we went to look for jeans at some stores, but apparently I look awful in all jeans.  We did find out my size though, which is a good start. 

After shopping we went to this chinese restaurant in San Bruno called Fat Wong's Kitchen.  I sat next to Bee and I think it's kinda crazy how friends can just be friends after so long.  I don't recall that much of high school and I don't remember how close I was to her, but she is so nice and easy to get along with.  It's just crazy.  We didn't keep in touch at all after high school and that was no one's fault.  It just kind of happens, but I think she would be a friend that I really miss after today.  I should keep in touch this time around because she is a really cool person.  She even gave me relationship advice at dinner.

After dinner we wanted to go to this place called Dessert Republic in San Mateo.  PHJ almost ran straight into a curb and some of our lives flashed before our eyes.  It was okay because now we all have a story to tell.  At Dessert Republic I ate a Mango Lychee Crepe and it was delicious.  The day was kind of spooky, like we were even better friends than we ever were.  Maybe I just don't remember high school that well...

Blossom, Friend, and Bee went home after dessert, but me and PHJ went to DP's house.  We were celebrating Bum and BB's birthdays.  Most of the group was there, DP, Bum, Lancelot, BB, PHJ, MooMoo, GosuMike, Ecoli, Gamer, and this guy who always comes late to the party, I'll just call him Bear.  I didn't drink too much because I didn't wanna go too crazy, but MooMoo was having a good time.  He was dancing and rapping and it was hilarious.  GosuMike was hitting people and telling us he couldn't control himself...  Here is when shit got ridiculous.  We got MooMoo to take off his shirt and I took it and threw it down a hallway, but for some reason MooMoo and GosuMike ran after it and bumped into a glass cabinet with wooden doors.  The glass shattered and the cabinet door came off.  Soon after, MooMoo started puking on DP's floor and it looked noodley and nasty.  We got MooMoo to a bathroom and he puked and chilled for a couple hours.  Eventually we all kind of passed out and woke up around 11.  I got home around noon and my parents weren't too happy with me.

It was a great day, even better than old times.

Straight Cash Homie

Today was a pretty good day.  It was BB's birthday, he turned 22 so happy birthday to him.  He is now as old as he is tall (hella tall).  I only worked 3 hours which was really easy.  After work I played basketball with some of the friends, but I was kind of tired.  After basketball I went to class which was really boring and well it sucked...  BB and Gamer bought me a red Flash t-shirt which is awesome because The Flash is my favorite superhero.  Thanks guys.

I got paid today from Tapioca Express and last Friday from Linguini's.  Last Monday was my birthday and alot of the gifts I got were money.  I haven't had time to go to the bank so I have a few checks and money lying around.  My shoes are coming in soon which I am super excited for.  My Flash T-shirt is still fucking amazing.  Today I just feel like straight cash homie.

Trust Issues

We all have secrets, some of them well hidden and some not so well.  It really just depends on the person and how much they want to keep hidden.  Some of my friends have some serious trust issues.  I would say it's understandable just because there's so little to gain and so much to lose.  Why would you want to let something out that can grow into something ridiculous?  Once you say something and it's out there, there's a chance it will spread like wildfire.  I would have to say that some of my friends, I know nothing about them.  It's like they locked themselves in a cell and threw away the key.  I don't really know about their thoughts, their dreams, their emotions.  I can only know from what I observe and how I interpret those observations.  It's okay though, I can relate and understand why they don't want people to know their secrets.  Maybe someday they will trust enough to tell their friends something.

For myself, I think I'm pretty trusting.  I didn't used to be, I never used to tell people anything about my life.  I don't really know what changed either, I just am okay with telling people about my life these days.  Somethings I don't like to talk about, but if my friends really wanted to know, I would tell them.  Trust issues are tough to get over, but if you can tell people about yourself, you can get closer to them.  I don't want to tell you what it's like to tell a secret to someone because everyone reacts differently, but for me it was like I wasn't alone anymore.  There's other people I can tell, share my pain, my love, my joy, my everything with.  I'm always here to listen if you guys want to talk and if you don't believe I'm a trusting person, then ask me anything... My life is an open book for you to read, a T.V. to watch, an Ipod to listen to...

Days Off

I'm hoping for a day off soon.  I don't know when I will get one, but I'm hoping it's soon.  I just realized that the last day I did not work was August 15th.  I might be crashing a little bit from doing the same kind of work everyday.  I've been losing track of my days easily and zoning out quite a bit.  Today I got lost on the way to work.  I only live about 5-10 minutes away and I basically go to one of my jobs everyday.  I don't even really remember what I've been doing these days and it seems like the days are flying by.  I'm scheduled to work through Saturday and the schedule isn't out for Sunday yet.  Let's hope I get that day off soon before my mind wanders off more.

Today was Bum's birthday so happy birthday to him.  I hope you enjoy the gift I'm getting you.  I worked at both places today and had pretty busy days at both.  I bought my book for my class and it was 150 dollars.  My dad will reimburse me for anything school related though because he thinks education and money is all life is about...  After working for most of the day I went to Kansai with my friends for Bum's birthday.  I went with Bum, GosuMike, MooMoo, Lancelot and 2 friends you haven't met yet, Vandal and Chorean.  Kansai is a Japanese restaurant with a pretty late happy hour where they sell sushi and sake bombs for pretty cheap.  I didn't drink, but everyone else did so it was pretty fun.  I like watching buzzed/drunk people attempting to function properly.

After Kansai we went to Bum's house to watch Beast Wars.  That show is fucking hilarious.  It was so good when we were kids, but now it just cracks me up.  After that we called it a night.

Someone Like You

Right now I'm listening to Someone Like you by Adele and it reminds me of you.  It's funny how easily I've forgotten about all the times we've had.  You were such a huge part of my life and you pretty much vanished instantly.  Whenever I see you, I remember all the good time we've had and there have been alot.  I loved you more than anything I've ever loved before which is probably why I've gone a little bit insane since you've left.  I guess what didn't kill me made me stronger.  You're the reason why I work, push myself at the gym, live recklessly, and care so much about the people around me.  You've probably changed my life more than anyone else without even knowing it.  I only wish the best for you.

Goals

Today I got off work around 9 and went home.  I was pretty tired and wanted to rest before I went to the gym with GosuMike.  I got super lazy and didn't feel like going anymore and decided to go tomorrow.  I decided about 30 minutes later that I can't miss a day.  I've been missing way too many days lately and I shouldn't be.  It's time for me to start working harder in everything I do.  I want to be stronger, faster, and just better.  For some reason I just want to be better at basketball.  I also want to see my friends everyday before they go back to school.  These will be my goals over the next few months.  No more being tired.

On a side note:

I bought new basketball shoes today!  They come in 6-8 days and I'm super excited.

Same Old

Today I worked for 12 hours and it sucked.  It was pretty slow at Tapioca Express, but busy at Linguini's.  I know I said I don't mind the busy days because of the extra money, but today I was just tired.  Everyday I finish work I feel so relieved that it's over.

After work I went to the gym with GosuMike.  We worked out chest an triceps.  It was pretty short, but also incredibly tiring.  I benched 165 which is my new max and it felt pretty good.  I am so glad I don't have to wake up early tomorrow for work.  I am just tired and need some rest.

On a side note:
Felicity visited me at work today and we talked for a little bit.  It's always nice to see her because she puts a smile on my face somehow...

Girls = Trouble

Girls are trouble....  I don't know why, they just are!  I've liked this girl for like 5 months.  I'm not going to tell you who it is and some of you already know.  She is almost exactly like me and I have a huge crush on her.  Her personality is like mine, we listen to the same music, eat the same food, enjoy playing video games and we just get along.  I don't know if it would even be a good thing if I could date her because I've never really met someone exactly like me and well do I want to date myself?  She's not even single, she has a boyfriend and fuck his motherfucking bitch ass couch.

Here is where it gets complicated.  I had a dream last night and it was about someone else.  I'm not going to tell you who it is, but I had a dream and in it this girl was my girlfriend.  I don't really know what to think of this dream because I don't really know what to think of this girl.  I guess I would consider her a pretty good friend, but I really just don't know.  She's kind of like me too, but in a different way.  We're not really into the same things, but we have very similar thought processes.  I actually think we would make a good couple and she's even jokingly mentioned that we would be good for each other.  I don't know what to think... Was it just a dream or am I trying to tell myself something?

Girls are just trouble...

Hakuna Matata

If you don't know what the title of my blog means, go watch Lion King right now!  So basically, hakuna matata means "no worries" and that's basically how my life is right now.  I start school tomorrow, which I'm kinda excited about.  It's been quite sometime since I sat in a classroom and well I hope I can stay awake for 3 hours.  I'm only taking 1 class to ease myself back into school.  I will be working about 9-10 shifts per weeks because of coworkers going to school, but that's okay.  I could always use the money to save up and the shifts are short anyways.  I'm pretty happy with this upcoming week because I'll be working with Blossom 3 days.  She's the most experienced and easiest to work with.

Today was a pretty good day.  I worked at both jobs from 10-5 and 6-10 today.  It was pretty busy at both places which was reasonable.  Tapioca Express was busy because it was hot and people enjoy cold drinks on hot days.  Linguini's was busy because, Wednesday is all you can eat pizza night and Americans love their fucking pizza.  I kind of enjoy the busy days because its more money and who doesn't enjoy more money.  I went to the gym with GosuMike and had a pretty good workout.  I'm excited for tomorrow and hopefully these next few months will be good to me...

Special Thanks

For my birthday my coworkers basically got me a new wardrobe.  PHJ bought me 7 shirts and a new pair of shoes, PIC bought me a shirt, Lucky bought me a shirt, Fluffy bought me a shirt and Blossom bought me a belt.  I would like to thank them for all the new clothes because I don't have that much to begin with.  I think it's funny how this year has gone.

January was when my girlfriend broke up with me, I was out of school, and had to move back home.  I was alone, hopeless and tired, sitting in my room everyday.  If it wasn't for my coworkers and a couple of my friends I would probably still be the same.  All of my usual friends were in school, busy and didn't know about my situation.  After a couple of weeks of doing nothing, I told PHJ and GosuMike that I was at home with nothing to do.  Bum already knew about everything because we still talk during the school year even though he's in Irvine.  I started hanging out with PHJ, GosuMike, Blossom, Fluffy, and PIC.  You guys gave me company, comfort, hope and energy.  I was able to talk about my problems with PHJ and Bum.  Gosumike convinced me to join the gym.  PHJ, Blossom, PIC, and Fluffy all helped me to get my job at Tapioca Express.  It was February that I started working and exercising,  March was when I was motivated to find my second job. 

These are the people who changed my life.  They saved me from myself and I thank them for that.  I began enjoying life, being productive and now I'm even going back to school.  You all saved my life and I appreciate all the things you've done for me.  This is a message to all my friends, if you are ever in need of something, I will be there for you.  Also good luck to all my friends who have started school, are starting school soon, working at new jobs, and looking for jobs.

The Journey

So first off today is my birthday.  Yesterday I went to GosuMike's house with a group of friends and we drank a little bit.  We did Irish Car Bombs which is Guinness, Jameson Whisky, and Baileys.  Its supposed to taste like chocolate milk, but I didn't like it too much.  We also did some shots of whisky and vodka.  Basically I didn't get home till 5 and I pretty much knocked out. 

Here is where my story begins...  At 1:30 PHJ texted saying she needed me to do something for her.  She wanted me to get her a parking pass at Laney Community College so she could park there, walk to bart, and take bart to school (she goes to SF state).  So I agreed and went to pick up Bum to come with me.  We went to College of Alameda because they're part of the same system, its closer and I figured the line would be shorter.  So we went to the cashiers office and it had moved, but we didn't know where.  We walked around the campus and Bum asked a girl where it was.  She said it was in building A, so we walked over to building A and the line wasn't too bad, like 7-8 people.  After waiting for about 15 minutes I asked the cashier, who is this Fat Bitch who's been working there forever, if I could buy a parking pass.  She said I needed a student ID number and couldn't get it without it.  We walked to the library to sign onto my school account to find out my number.  After finding out my number I went back to the cashier which had a line of about 4-5 people.  After waiting 10 minutes, the fat bitch told me I couldn't get it because all my classes were at Laney.

We went to Laney, which luckily is not very far away.  We looked at a directory and it said the cashier's office was in building A.  We walked to building A, but we could only find the library so we asked this immigrant looking mexican dude where the cashier's office was.  He said I think it's in that building on the 4th floor.  We walked over to the building, but all of the doors were locked.  We walked all around it and check every door...  Afterwards we went to the library and asked this woman where the cashiers office was.  She said building A and pointed at the side of the building.  We walked towards it and discovered a long ass line.  We waited in line for about 45 minutes and finally got the damn parking permit.  All in all, the journey took about 2.5 hours....

Humanity Points

I worked from 10 am to 10 30 pm today and I have work again in 7 hours so I'll keep this short.  Some fucker clogged the toilet at Tapioca Express and didn't tell us.  I had to find out from a customer sometime later that the toilet was flooding and by that time it had already flooded to the door.  When I went to clean it up, I also noticed the person failed at plunging.  There was toilet paper everywhere and the toilet was still clogged.  I unclogged the toilet, which took about 5 seconds and mopped up the mess.  What a little fucker.  Some people are super retarded!!  Tomorrow will be a better day...

Catching Up

Today my ex-girlfriend, I'll call her Felicity, took me out to lunch for my birthday.  We went to this place in Alameda called Sushi House and well... they serve sushi.  We shared 3 rolls, a Lion King (baked salmon over california roll), and Island roll (raw salmon and lemon over tempura roll) and a philadelphia roll (cream cheese, salmon, and avacado) which were all pretty good.  We still talk sometimes about how things are going, but I hadn't talked to her in about a month and it's okay because I know she's busy and I am too.  We caught up a little had some laughs and it was nice.  We gave each other back some stuff that we had kept and hadn't really had the chance to give back.  We went to Tapioca Express and I made her a green apple smoothie with lychee jelly.  Even though she is my ex-girlfriend, getting along is easy and fun.

I had to work today at Linguini's and it was tiring.  The other busser called in sick so it was just me by myself.  We had 23 tables tonight which came out to be 65 people.  I keep track of the tables and people to keep myself occupied, which prevents me from freaking out.  Afterwards my boss bought me dinner which was really nice of her.  I ordered this dish called seafood delight which is sea bass, clams, prawns, and chorizo over garlic mashed potatoes and it's pretty fucking good.  After work I went over to Gamer's house and played some scrabble with Gamer, BB, Bum, and my cousin, I'll call him Ecoli.  Tomorrow I have work all day which I can't wait for it to be over.  I'll be seeing alot of people I don't know since I'll be working 12-13 hours so I'll probably have to have a humanity points blog tomorrow. We''ll see how stupid people will be....

Just Be Yourself?

Okay.. So when you like a girl, I think the generic advice is to "just be yourself", but I feel like this might be one of the most difficult things to do.  We often try to impress the person we are infatuated with and often times we do things we may normally not do.  We become what we think that person may like and it may be small things, like.... being a little nicer, or joking around a little more, maybe even paying for stuff.  What if you become a different person?  When do you cross the line between being yourself and acting like someone else.  How much would you actually be willing to change in the long run to be with that person?  If you are by nature cheap, would you try to be more generous, if you don't like chinese food and that's all they ate would you try to eat it with them, if you were shy would you try to be more social?  Your personality is who you are and if you change it, then who have you become?  Most people aren't perfect for each other so then that must mean they compromised and changed a little bit.. right?  How much can you change and how long can you change for?  Your true personality has to come out at sometime or would you be happy being someone else?  Some of us are just on that hook for someone and we try so hard to be something that we're not.  All I can say is... be yourself and if that's not good enough for that person then they are obviously not for you.  Find someone who enjoys your little quirks and enjoy theirs.  Compromise is okay, acting isn't.


On a side note:

My family took me out to dinner for my birthday today.  I went with my parents, both my sisters, and my nephew.  We went to this place called Ahn Hong in Berkeley, which is a Vietnamese cuisine restaurant.  We had beef carpaccio, chicken, pork, and beef spring rolls.  My older sister gave me 50 bucks and a giant cookie for my birthday.  She baked it herself, she's a pastry chef.  She makes awesome cookies and pastries, but her specialty is wedding cakes.  This is her website and you should all get your baked goods from her.  My mom made me a personal ice cream cake and it was amazing.  We heated up the cookie and put the ice cream cake on top of it.  We ate it together as a family and it was probably one of the best desserts I've ever had.  Today was a great day...

Humanity Points!

So my friend Brandon, I call him BB in my blog, has his own blog called Humanity points.  It's about how people do stupid ass shit and how he has zero faith in society today.  This is his blog and you should all check it out.  He has a imaginary point scale and it goes down when he observes people doing stupid stuff and goes up when he sees decency. 

So I'm bringing this up because he is in Vegas right now and I thought I would do a little post for him.  I was listening to LoveLine, which is this late night radio show about sex, drugs, and some stupid stuff and this guy called in.  He said he was taking a piss in the bushes and ...........  a PRAYING MANTIS jumped on his PENIS and started attacking it.  WHAT THE FUCK?  A praying mantis jumped on his penis?  He said he was in so much pain that he tried to shake it off.  Now I don't know about you, but I think bugs have an easy time hanging onto objects.  He didn't say how he got it off his penis, but it was just so hilarious and I couldn't believe how stupid this guy was.  I feel this deserves negative points....

On a side note:
Today was another meatless day.  Tomorrow my family is taking me out to dinner for my birthday and I feel I should be able to eat meat on this day.  I switched it up so no days would be missed.  Today I ate a banana, broccoli, and tofu.  Lots of tofu.  My friend, I'll call him Jay Tree, has told me that I need more protein to rebuild muscle cells since I go to the gym alot, so on my meatless days I will try to eat more tofu to fill my protein needs.  And also a protein shake here and there....

Day 1

Today was a pretty productive day.  Drove myself to the dentist and used my GPS for the first time.  I still got lost... but it wasn't too bad.  I am happy to say I have no cavities.  After the dentist I came home and got ready for work.  I worked at Linguini's and it wasn't too bad, we had 8 tables and 25 customers which is decent for a Tuesday night.  After work I ate dinner with 2 of my coworkers from Tapioca Express, PHJ and another girl, I'll call her PIC (Partner in Crime).  We ate at this restaurant called King of Thai and I ate tofu curry.  It was kind of bland and it made me sad to eat it.  After dinner I went to the gym by myself and worked out my back and biceps.  It was a pretty good workout even though I was tired and didn't have too much energy.  After the gym I went to Bum's house with GosuMike to play Starcraft 2.  Overall was a pretty good day.

It was my first day of cutting back on meat.  I ate 5 slices of peanut butter toast, tomato basil soup, and tofu curry.  Tomorrow I'm off all day so I don't know what to do with myself.

Protein Overload?

Today I read this article about how much protein humans really need.  This is the article if you want to read it.  Basically it says that humans don't really need that much protein, yet we eat a lot of protein everyday.  The article also says that eating a ton of meat is bad for the environment because it takes enormous amounts of pesticides, fuel, chemical fertilizers and also there is increase in greenhouse gases from meat and dairy production.  I never knew eating meat harmed the environment.  I've never cared much for the environment, but maybe its about time I did.  I also feel like challenging myself for a bit.  The article suggests eating one less hamburger per week, eating other protein sources such as beans, low-fat yogurt, etc, buying higher grades of meat/dairy and not wasting meat.  My challenge to myself will be... not eating meat every other day.  This will be stupidly challenging because I eat ridiculous amounts of meat...  I ate beef today so tomorrow I will start my journey in helping the environment and challenging myself.  Wish me luck and maybe I'll ask some of my friends to join as well.

Words of Wisdom

I work at an Italian restaurant called Linguini's and one of my favorite servers quit about 2 months ago.  Her name is Nyanda and she posted this on her facebook yesterday "We can not help those who do not wanna help themselves.....or are to oblivious to see the destructive path they've created due to selfishness.....your energy makes me emotionally and mentally exhausted.....it's time to practice what I preach and learn from my mistakes rather then continuing to repeat them...so I'm letting go, in hopes that you find yourself, you lost soul."  I feel like alot of us have a friend that we want to help so badly, but we can't.  They refuse to accept or even acknowledge help is required.  What can you do?  When you have repeatedly tried to help someone and nothing has worked.  As difficult as it may be, the best option for yourself is to let go.  Its not worth being exhausted and if they don't want your help then the best thing to do for yourself is to let that person find themselves.  Letting go is something we all must learn at some point in life...

Baby Steps

Today I signed up for a class at the local community college.  I only signed up for one class, general accounting because I haven't been in school for awhile and I kind of just want to get started.  I think the hardest thing for me is just getting started.  Once that's done I think I will be okay going forward.  Next semester I will figure out what I really want to do in school.  For now I will just continue to work and slowly get back into school.  School starts on August 25th and I'm excited to start up again.  Let's just hope I don't screw things up this time...

Other than signing up for school my day was pretty standard.  I played some basketball with my friends, went to the gym with GosuMike, and ate ate this resaurant called La Penca Azul with some friends.  AND my parents bought me a GPS for my birthday, which is awesome!  I have the worst sense of direction and getting out of Alameda is troublesome because I fail.  My parents are awesome for knowing what I need...

Comfort Zone?

Have you ever had one of those days where you have nothing to do so you just sleep?  One of those days where you are so comfortable you don't want to get out of bed.  You open your eyes, it's 10 am, and close your eyes.  Next time you open them it's noon, and you close your eyes again.  Then you open your eyes again and it's 3 pm and you force yourself out of bed, but most of your day is already gone.  Well that's how I've been living my life.  I've been comfortable all my life and I've been sleeping.  I've never cared about school, money, or my future.  Education has never been important to me even though I know it's something I need.  I've never had bills to pay so money has never been important and I've always cared about today, not tomorrow.  I don't know why I don't care it's just how I am.

This is the time I should be caring and planning my future.  I am at 2 dead end jobs right now and I don't care about the money.  The money is fine because I don't have bills to pay and my life is comfortable.  I know this is not my future, but I don't care enough to make myself start planning it.  I need to go back to school and the longer I wait the more likely I won't go back.  Education is what I need to start my future, but it's just not important to me.  All of my friends are either graduated or still in school.  I am by far the furthest behind and I know it.  The last time I closed my eyes I was 17 and I just graduated high school.  I've opened my eyes again and I turn 22 in 2 weeks.  If I go back to sleep the next time I wake up might be when I'm 25.  This is the time when I need to start caring.  I've been comfortable for too long.  I've been awake for a little while now.... When do i get out of bed before I fall asleep again?

Kome

Today I woke up around 4 pm because I slept really late last night.  I had dinner plans so I basically had to get ready when I woke up.  I had to pick up Lancelot, GosuMike, and a new friend, I'll call him MooMoo.  I drove Lancelot, GosuMike, and MooMoo to San Francisco to eat at a buffet called Kome.  We met BB and Bum there because BB has summer school in SF and Bum was at his apartment.  The buffet was pretty good, it was all Asian food, but mostly sushi.  I ate two plates of mostly sashimi, which is raw fish.  I also enjoyed many many desserts.  my favorite was mango pudding, but I also had, green tea pudding, taro, pudding, strawberry pudding, creme brule, and almond mousse cake.  It was all really delicious.  GosuMike ate about 5 plates of food and 7 mango puddings because he's crazy.  He had the worst food coma and passed out on the car ride home...

After dinner I went to play pool with GosuMike, PHJ, and PHJ's friend, I'll call her Princess Peachy.  We also played with Blossom, but she didn't come until later.  We played at this place in Emeryville called the Broken Rack because it is really nice and they serve drinks there.  We played 2 on 2 with Princess Peachy being my teammate.  We killed GosuMike and PHJ in the first 4 games, but we finally lost one.  I had a few drinks called the Patron Cadillac.  It's my favorite drink there because its strong, but the citrus flavors hide the tequila taste very well. 

After a few more games of pool me and GosuMike met up with Lancelot, Bum and BB so we could take another walk on the shoreline.  This time it was very quiet and we walked faster than the first time.  We walked along the beachside for about an hour and we called it a night....  Tomorrow I got work at both jobs... Sweet... 

Puzzle

So I have a story to tell.  I was hanging out with two of my friends Blossom and the other friend I will call PHJ.  PHJ is my co worker at Tapioca Express, but she also works at a daycare.  She received all of this week off from her bosses and was super excited.  She said " I think I will use my free week to get a puzzle and solve it".  I told her " Why do you need a puzzle when you already have one... It's called life".  So yea that's my story... kind of short, but I thought I'd tell it to you....

Anyways onto my day.  I worked from 10-5 today at Tapioca Express and I was being retarded all day.  I worked with my friends Lucky and Blossom.  I had a rough day at work because I couldn't do anything right and I kept having to ask Blossom for help.  I felt pretty awful about it, but next time will be a better work day....After work I went home and found out all of my tires had low air pressure so I had to pump all my tires.

Around 7 I had dinner at Blossom's house with Blossom, her aunt, and PHJ.  For dinner she cooked tofu with ground pork, chicken wings, zucchini, pineapple sausage, and bulgolgi.  If you haven't had bulgogi, it is a korean style beef and it is amazing.  Especially the one Blossom made because I ate a stupid amount of it.  The rest of the dinner was great too and I'm glad she invited me.  Afterwards I played with Blossom's cats even though I am pretty allergic.  Her cats are just so fluffy and fun to play with!

After dinner I went to another friend's house, I'll call her gamer.  Hung out with Gamer, BB, Bum, Lancelot, and GosuMike.  We played some Starcraft 2, Scrabble and a card game called Bang!.  Then me, Bum, Lancelot, and GosuMike went for a walk on the shoreline around 3 AM.  It was pretty refreshing just walking next to the beach eating and chatting.  I think it's something we should do more often.  After our awesome walk we called it a night.
