this is me on paper or should i say the web...im really not like this in person...the voices in my head tell me that im pretty normal... ***************** UPDATE: no pictures yet but my guestbook is good to go so check it out and sign it...

let's see today i wanted to get some homework done...ahh there's no use...i decided to head to jerome's pad instead...while i was there...jerome setup the beautiful guestbook that now is ready for some action...so if you havent already go sign it...what are you waiting for...at the same time i was downloading mad mp3s from napster...i was killing two birds with one huge ass rock...taking advantage of dsl and getting mp3s and working on my site...

chris and randy eventually make it over to the house and then we head to keith's to get some grub and chill...keith's is a denny's style restaurant but a 100 times better...the service is superb and the food proportions are humongous...our hostess that night was lookin mighty fine...and on top of that she had an accent...man its something about a european accent that gets me...anyways witty comments filled our conversation over our order omelettes...and once again i was stuffed till i could eat no more...

after keith's we headed to barnes & noble...outside of the store smelled like "poo gas" as randy would describe it...we get inside and head straight to the magazines...man there is so much stuff i want to read...i think ill be going there more often to study...well before the store closed we hopped around from section to section until we reached the valentine table...it had an assortment of books the lovey-dovey stuff and quite a few books on kama sutra...hah that would make a good gift...im just kidding...whatever sells i guess...

after my class today i ran errands for my mom...when i got home i tried to do some homework, that didnt work out too well...homework on fridays just isnt happening...i want to get some work done so i dont spend my entire sunday trying to do it all...but i have a bad feeling thats what my sunday will be like...

well at night i went to a baby shower/dinner...there was too much good food...i stuffed myself so bad that i just had to sit for a while...it would hurt to move around...eventually i did get up only because i had another party to go to...as i started my car and turned on my lights...there was a flickering and then all of a sudden *zap*...my friggin right headlight burns out...the thing is that the left one burnt out a couple days ago and i just replaced it...dagnabit, now i how to replace the right one...now i cant drive at night until i get it replaced...

i give jerome a call and he swings by to pick me up...we head over to our friend mai's house...while we were chillin, mai gives me a stack of her last semester physics work...homework tests and labs the whole nine yards...thank you mai for the hook up...i will definitely put your hardwork to good use...of course it will only be used as a reference, i would never *wink wink* plagerize...

well we head to shirley's house...this was the main gathering point before heading off to tgif's...we're pretty early and so we chill in her living room...shirley has one of the nicest looking living rooms that ive ever seen...it looks like a model home the way it was set up...it looked so perfect...it looked like no one ever sat on the couches...we all felt kinda of uneasy about moving anything around...heheh...she assured us that it was okay...soon the doorbell wouldnt stop ringing and everyone was finally there...

me and jerome go pick up chris, randy and lisa and then we were off into the night...when we get to tgif there was a whole gang load of people standing in the front of fridays...it was mighty chilly outside and the fact that we were close to the beach didnt help the situation...so everyone was in their little groups chattin and trying to stay warm...the wait was said to be an hour and a half...with such a large group it didnt look like we would be moving somewhere else, so we decided to just wait...the good thing about the wait is that i was able to catch up with a lot of people that i dont see too often...man back in highschool everyone would always be around...nowadays everyone is so busy with their own schedules its hard to keep in touch...

eventually we make it inside...our group is so large we are sorta split in two...we make the best of it...the rest of the night was filled with stories, picture taking, cake in shirley's face, jerome and a cup o' barf...ahh a good friday...

can you say freezing?...yes it was this morning...so cold that my whole car was covered in ice...the usual morning dew was now ice...there was a seal that was broken when i opened my door...i had to pour water over my windshield so the ice would break up...ive never had to do this, not here in "sunny" san diego...it eventually did get sunny later but there was still a cold wind...the weather is so messed up right now and i heard its supposed to storm again soon...

i hate the rain...it gets you all in that lazy mood...you really cant go outside and do things...its depressing i tell you...it reminds of that prozac commercial where this depressed looking girl is up against the window while its raining outside...she isnt sad because of some chemical inbalance in her brain...its because theres no sun outside...with a little sun, theres always fun...yeah the weather can control moods...most people i know dont like the rain...but i know a few that like actually enjoy the grayness and extra moisture...weirdos, whats wrong with you...you know who you are...haha im just playing...i cant wait until it starts warming up again...

well today it was dark and cold again...had a chem quiz this morning...it went well except i couldnt figure out one friggin problem...i breezed through it but then was struck stupid when i came to that one question...ahh dont you just hate that when you know you could ace a quiz or test but just one question just stops you...it bothered me the whole morning...

time for nightschool...it started pouring as soon as i stepped outside my house...just great...now people on the roads can freak out making my drive to school much more difficult...its something about rain that just makes people go retarded on the roads...sometimes i feel stevie wonder could drive better than some of these fools...the drive went pretty smooth cause i was listening to a good mix cd...its actually the save the last dance soundtrack...i havent seen the movie, but i can tell you that the soundtrack you can really groove to...

i had physics lab tonight and well what can i say...i kick ass in lab...a 3 hour lab finished in less than half the time...i dont know what it is but when i get hands on, i could actually see the application to the stuff i learn, it just clicks...all the reading and problem solving doesnt interest me all too much...now if only i could channel this ass kicking to the regular class...i would be unstoppable...muwahahah...

when i opened my eyes this morning i wanted to see the sun again...but as i peeked out my window it was gray and cloudy...aww what happened to the weather?...it was all just a damn tease...mother nature just teasin me..."you know you want the warm weather but you wont get any"...well it was back to a long sleeve shirt and some long pants...well i enjoyed the weekend and yesterday while the warm weather lasted...

tuesday are usually good days for me...i only have one class and its from 730-900...so pretty much the rest of my day is open to do whatever...but for some odd reason today i had all this crap to do...well maybe i didnt have so much stuff and i just moved in slow motion...yeah it was really weird...just sluggish...like im underwater trying to move around...you know the feeling...i definitely need to get out of this funk im in...

i awake to a beautiful morning...the weather was so warm that i wore shorts to school...you gotta love this socal weather...im sorry to all those that are experiencing the opposite or are in less tolerable situations...i wish i could send this weather your way...

lets see the only class that isnt going so well for me right now is physics...my professor goes lightning fast and he kind of expects us to teach ourselves...i never really liked this class, even in high school...the highlights of the class for me were making the egg drop device and the physics boat...the egg drop device was something you would construct so that when a raw egg was placed inside of it and tossed off a building it wouldnt shatter or crack...i never really constructed one it was merely passed down to me from a previous year by my buddy dan...basically it was 6 pieces of thick pink insulation held together by masking tape...simple and effective, it got the job done...i plan on passing the device down to my brother so it will continue its legacy in the physics classes of my high school...

i get up this morning and look at the clock...its 9 and no ones come to wake me up for church yet...we usually go 830 mass but i guess we're going to 1030 today...i go back to sleep...when i look up at the clock its 1200...my sister comes into my room and says its lunch time...somethings going on and i dont know what...what i find out is that were going to mass in the afternoon after we pick up my bro from a church retreat...ahh makes sense now...

after lunch i washed the van and my car...oh my car was dirty to the nth degree...i used to clean it every week but now its been dirty for months...it was just too cold outside back then...haha but now the beautiful weather was upon me and it was a good day...clear blue skies about 75...i love this weather...hopefully it will continue...the rest of the day was doing the homework that i should have been doing the whole weekend...homework gotta love it...
