The revolution will not be brought to you by the There will be no pictures of you and Willie May There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock The revolution will not be right back after a message The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, - Gil Scott Heron check out my NEW SITE. Well. When I update the words. =P
why do friends say they'll do one thing, then at the last minute change their minds! if you say you'll be there , then don't break your promise!!! why do people like to toy with their friends minds?! arrgh!! Thursday, March 01, 2001
umm, as a person who once visited Texas/Arkansas/East Bumblef*ck said, "Thankya Lord, for making me a San Franciscan!"
you know, what the fuck's up with people and racism. Geez. You know. I thought it's supposed to be some cultural taboo to be OUTRIGHT racist. Why the hell do people in groups who are/were victimized by racism and prejudice themselves do the same shit to other people? Frickin shit. [sorry for the vulgarity]
I watched temptation island. I don't care if the premise of the show is stupid.. screw it. It's entertainment. =P I'd watch those silly kids over George Dubya anyday.. and I DO have a passionate care for this nation. Anyway. WHO the HELL is Michael V?
found myself watching temptation island after waking up from my nap yesterday...and i know i know, this show is stupid and in my right mind i know i should not to watch it, but its certainly entertaining, just because i feed off scandals. Anywayz i don't wanna sound like a total girl, but for some strange reason i cried for each couple at the end, eventhough i hated - no, disliked the couples (except for mandy and billy coz you know they're just straight out crazy mofos). I actually felt relief in how everyone stayed together, although i really thought that kaya and that one chick were going to break up, i mean after kaya clicked with 2 girls, who's not going to think that they were going to break up. But yea the thought that they were outrageously tempted and still stayed together shows so how much more they loved each other, although i don't recommend one should strengthen a relationship by going on an isolated island like that; its just reaks so much emotional havoc on a person and it is so unnecesary. Things to learn from "Temptation Island"It's not a good idea to test the waters of a relationship by deliberately throwing yourself into temptation. The questions you may think need to be answered may only lead to more questions than more answers. Good old fashioned communication is better. By letting down the one you love, lets yourself down as well. Curiosity has killed more relationships than cats. Curiosity has also started many relationships too. The trick is to someday commiting to non-curiosity. Anything can happen around a bonfire. There are no reunion smiles when confronted with shame. Drifting away from a committed relationship takes a toll. Don't be fooled. There is a price to pay. Giving someone grace, patience and forgiveness is the ultimate expression of love. I'm sure the devil would all like us to think that temptation is a good idea just because some couple on television kissed and made up. Faithfulness should never be taken for granted. -DAVE DAVIDSON

over the course of the (almost) 5 years I spent at Davis... I always refered back to my friends back home. They always represented a base.. a foundation for my growth and identity. I kicked it mainly with Filipino Americans.. and luckily for us, we all had older siblings, cousins, family members who were culturally and socially conscious. That served us well. Anyway, as we went off to college, we naturally began to drift. In 1998... I think I was home maybe 20 days, or less, the WHOLE year. I just didn't have a life at home for a while. So naturally, I became estranged from my homepeeps. We always stayed close somehow, but we didn't talk much or see each other. The times we did see each other, I think there was an awkwardness betweenus all because we were all evolving. At the same time, the little we saw of each other caused us to fit the roles we played when we graduated from high school. Two years had passed, so we must have changed... but our memories prevailed more than our updated selves. I think it was hard for me also because I was in Davis. All but one of them were still in the Bay.. and even though being in the same area.. or even the same school still allowed them to grow, they had proximity. That is always a good tool in maintaining friendship. So, it wasn't until Memorial Day 1997 when I started to feel at home with them again. We kicked it all of the days, Friday to Sunday, and I hadn't done that since high school. I stabilized my foundation. Now, we are still growing.. and changing.. but we're growing together. We all realize how old we are.. and how far we've come since Jr. High.. (Elementay School for some of them). I'm glad I was able to grow up with such a group of people. That's why it sucks that I have to let go of my ties with one of them... but as I said, it's an unfortunate part of growing up - and growing apart.
i remember way back in HS, the best friends i've made, our pact to be there for each other forever. now, i have to say im on the other side of the spectrumof being the friend not keeping my end of the pact. i'll always be there for them whenever they need me, whether it be a shoulder to cry on or just a understanding ear to listen to what they are going through. but we've all changed in one way or another since then. have a different set of routines and aspirations. i don't intentionally mean to not keep in touch, but can they understand what's going on in my life now better than the friends i've made here. luckily for some of us, we still can go back to those we've made those pacts of unending friendship and count on them to shine light in our darkest woes, and i thank God everyday for them.
You know one of the worst things to think about your homeboy or homegirl is?? (bad grammar, sorry.) I GIVE UP ON YOU. and sadly, that's how I feel about my homeboy from way back. Geez. I mean, I'll always be there for him if he needs me, but as far as trying to still keep together our friendship.. our brotherhood.. nah. It's totally unreciprocated, so I'm just not gonna give a damn about him. (Meant in the nicest way possible.) But yeah. That's the somber revelation for today. It always sucks saying goodbye to a friend, but when we grow up.. things happen. Tuesday, February 27, 2001
he lies untouched, the struggling artist, whose structure of words remain unstable, and inexperienced. there is a secret that lies in his soul, locked up for the world to discover. but no one approaches. maybe elevation isn't appealing enough his world is surrounded by fantasy,
My heart is with my brothers and sisters in UC Davis. forever in the struggle. Ridiculous that not even Tagalog or Vietnamese and other such asian am classes are being taught there....IN CALIFORNIA! chin up, we are all behind you, I've seen the struggles for the A/P/A dept at NYU and the hunger strikes up at Columbia. we all support you. *isang mahal* Monday, February 26, 2001
i bought a palm m100. I'm a tech nerd. YAY. anyway, anyone know of a freeware FINANCE/EXPENCE program. They used to come with the frickin palm software, but it doesn't anymore. Anyway.. peace.
