Interesting propaganda I received in the mail today. "You are invited to join the 2nd Annual Pilipino Graduation at Cal Poly Pomona". Hrmmmm the requirements seem steep, $35 + you have to sell 5 ads to put in their paper thingie....talk about gouging....insisting so much to be separate, when years before people strived to be accepted and come together. BLAHHHHHH kiss my ass! Single finger salute to that $35 fee. Just more of an opportunity for Filipinos to floss their warez and pose in front for pictures with their fists in the air, i didn't know it was so trendy to be a Filipino nowadays.....sorry for not being politically correct, but that PC stuff can can kiss my fat ass. Maybe I need to buy a dOwNrIgHtpInOy sweatshirt because i'm not a true filipino, damn it i'm a sellout....pshaaaa

In "Road Rules" or "Real World", which are older examples of "reality" TV, many of the participants create their own "reality" for the cameras. That is truly not "reality" TV. Shows like "Cops" are what you can call "reality" TV cuz there's no pandering to the camera (well most of the time).

Oh and to some of you who are going to Tahoe for the weekend, have fun.

those REALITY shows really are farthest from that. They are fantasy shows. They dig into our imaginations (and often times are guilty pleasures) and let us live out our fantasies through other people. Any guy in here NOT want to be stuck on an island for two weeks with only one thing in mind... GETTING SOME from HOT CHICKS?

Or anyway in here feel like they could test their mights in Survivor? That shit isn't real survival. Drop their asses off on the streets of a run down city.. or a run down country. Let's see how they survive. But we watch because we feel we can be the same people.. who eat the bugs.. who win immunity.. who get to be on TV!

Okay. Just a thought.

we should start a true happiness thread. Everyone throwing in their 2 pesos worth.

true happiness is... walking out the doors of the the office building early knowing you'll get the credit for the full 8 hours and that you'll be getting paid for not doing much of anything.

I think true happiness is watching my mom and dad fight over how to cook certain food.. arguing over the amount of a certain spice or ingredient.

well you can rent a car at SOME places and that's with the under 25 surcharge usually. You don't get the full benefits until the quarter century mark and I'm still waiting.

I'm going to San Diego this weekend and it doesn't matter what age you are. The fun is plentiful. WHOO! to that baby. whut whut!

heh. didn't know about your little shindig till after the fact.

i can finally buy a handgun, liquor, and rent a car now, all on the same day. whoopty-fucking doo. i don't even get lower car insurance. this 21 shit is definitely over-hyped.

anyone here going to watch our PCN? i hope it'll be "different from past PCNs" as the spin doctors like to say. personally, i'm tired of them trying to hedge their bets on all this smoke-and-mirrors special effects stuff. call me old-school, but all I care about is all the participants having a good time and the whole bonding experience. that was a big impression on me during freshman year. i don't feel it that much this year.

oh and i almost forgot.. WHOOO!

[ adulthood ]

I went out to chill with the old, old roommates tonight.. the original Casitas/ Anderson folks minus Mr. Concepcion. Anyway, we went to Dave and Busters in Milpitas. I only had three hours of sleep the night before, so I wasn't sure if I could follow through. BUT I had to.. I couldn't diss on the bros.

We're all frickin old. Yeah. I know. I know. We're just barely out of college (or almost done..) Yet, we've evolved. Before we used to stay up late chatting on IRC with a room full of folks.. talking about nonsense.. talking about our top 5 girls.. and now we're talking about cash bonuses.. job options.. offices.. Man, we've come far.

Like I said, I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. To catch up, I took a nap during my lunch and before I went out. I did that JUST to get by. I live by coffee. Weekdays = coffee. Yikes.

We're adults. It's the weirdest thing. When I come home from being at a bar and my parents smell beer on me, and they don't trip?? I'm an adult. It's weird.

Lunches and dinners are used to catch up. There's no real gossip about our friends and acquaintances. We talk about our lives, because now we DO have them. It's a revolution in our hearts, minds and souls. GSANG 4 LIFE.

SHHT SHHT. (that's your call robb)

If you're bored, try the game that everyone's been talking about on the news.. Dope Wars. It's actually kinda addicting in a way (pun intended). And for you Palm owners, it's something cool you can show off to the co-workers or fellow BART commuters.

Oh, and in the fine tradition of 3com/Candlestick Park (which will always be the latter in my mind), no matter what new identity John picks, he'll still be "HeiERo/craztard/D-Lo/OTISmoded/Super Galing Man/Velvet Jones/Eye Pea Yellow/"... well you get the picture.

For a suggestion, how bout "New Buddy 69"?

I watched Sopranos for the first time tonight. Pretty good. I never really got into Mafia movies. Yeah. I have never watched the Godfather movies.. and I pretty much watched Good Fellas for the cussing. Anyway, it was interesting and just from watching one show, I have a grasp on the intricacies of a lot of the characters. That's good writing. Television audiences have short attention spans.. and if you can't get your audience to relate in a brief moment, then you're not doing a good job. (hence.. the WCW).

I'm gonna look forward to watching it every week.

I've been shopping around for a damn DVD player. I guess I should get my TV that's sitting in the living room of my old house in Davis. I just feel bad taking it away when my old roommates will prolly not have any other TV in the living room. =( BUT.. I should get it sometime soon. I've decided to just buy real films as DVDs until VCRs really get obsolete. Is there really a need to get a DVD version of a movie like Dumb and Dumber? I mean, I love watching it, but there's no need to buy a souped up digital version of it that is a lot more expensive.

Off subject.. but I am planning to retire my hEiErO moniker sometime soon. I have to figure out some cooky AIM name, but I'll definitely get back to you. =P
