You know what is better than a Clippers Victory? A Laker’s loss. But not any kind of loss, one in Seattle, where they have the chance to come, but fall short of a victory. Just two points to tie, with the adulterer having a chance to win it with a three. It seems like every stadium besides Staples Center boos the accused rapist when he touches the ball. I had nothing to do with it I swear. I hate the guy, we all know that, but I respect his game. He is a really good ball player most of the time. It’s a shame that even the Lakers’ (some other NBA team in L.A.) fans are starting to hate him now because he is entertaining the idea of leaving them. Hahahaha!!! But please adulterer, I beg you not to come to a wonderful Clippers team.
I see big things for the Clippers. Mike Dunleavy, Sr. has got them playing like a team. All they need to do now is play a little better defense. Because they sure have the offense and it is really fun to watch.
Broncos wild card game is this Sunday. I hope they win and become the AFC champions and eventually the Superbowl champions because apparently the Oakland team didn’t do the job for the AFC last year. Or even this year. HAHAHAHA!!!
Enough about sports. I was really happy that my father was able to spend the holidays with us. I miss him a lot. We butt heads sometimes, but it is because we’re so alike. But I love him nonetheless. I love my mom too. I am so lucky. I am forever grateful that my father gave my mother, my brother, and I a chance to come to the United States. The homeland is great, but I truly believe there is more opportunity here if you really want it.
I remember when the Debut came out in the theatres and the slogan on the shirts was: “Filipino. American.” Very clever and I totally agree. I feel so blessed to be a Filipino here in America. I have the best of both worlds. And I still think we have the prettiest girls. Thanks to the Filipino Channel, which I just got, I see why I think this. Although I get no play from them. Oh well, I can have half and half kids.
Speaking of Filipinas. My recent trip to Sandy Eggo with my brother and father illustrated who keeps the makeup companies in business. Gees you Asian girls, including Filipinas, you can do without all the makeup. If it had rained your faces would have looked like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. Luckily my friends don’t wear that much makeup.
When the holiday season comes around I can always count on three Christmas cards from three people. I thank these people for always thinking of me, even though I don’t necessarily think of them. I a world of technology that encourages impersonal communication, I still love the snail mail. Thanks again.
Thanks to all the people who got me presents too.
Cutest female voice on the radio: Luscious Liz
Best commercial ever: The Budweiser commercial with the football player blaming the loss on the team. “There is no I in team.” Yeah, there ain’t no team either.” Yeah, that’s classic.
Every other video on MTV hits by: Jay-Z. Sure you’re retired.
The new job is great. Just started two months ago and I have had a week and a half off for the holidays. Good stuff. The people I work with are all cool too. Maybe because they’re all Asian girls my age. It has its ups and downs though.
Apparently I’m engaged now.
Let’s go snowboarding. For real.
10/20/03 Hey Ya!!!
You know what is better than a Broncos Victory? A Raider's loss. But not any kind of loss, one in Oakland, where they have the chance to come back, but fall short of a victory. About half a foot short. When the fans have something to route for, but always get let down at the end. If only Tim Brown went to the Broncos when he had the chance. He could have won two superbowls. But alas, he stayed and caught the non-touchdown pass to end the Monday Night Game.
Anyways, work is getting way too busy. In fact if not for the Raider's loss, my headache would be even bigger right now. But my coworkers are cool. My new boss is also coming from my last job. So I already know him. I guess it's going to be alright.
There's one thing that really bugs me right now. It's that stupid corolla commercial when they're driving around trying to catch the ice cream truck. For some reason it pisses me off. I like the car, but hate the commercial.
My mom just got into an accident two weeks ago. Thank God she's alright, but her car is in the shop for a couple of weeks. So she is driving mine for now. Luckily we have a rental car which I drive. It's a gray dodge neon. I think it's pretty darn cool. Just today, I was rolling on the freeway eating red vine bites and bumping my BSB. I felt really cool. Oh yeah, I only eat the red ones, I don't like the licorice ones very much.
Speaking of BSB, they really need to do one more album. They have great voices and their songs are catchy. The lyrics may be generic, but hey, one of the singers has cool tattoos and fake facial hair. It doesn't get any better. BSB for life. Seriously.
I am so blessed to have such great parents. Without them I could not have accomplished all that I have. They make the little things in life so worthwhile.
Car show is coming to Anaheim next weekend. Anyone want to go?
9/23/03 Goodbye
Do to my disgruntledness (is that even a word?) at work, I went on a couple of interviews for a new job. Well, I got one. I’m sad and happy at the same time. I’m sad that I have to leave the people I work with, people that I have become friends with, but I am happy that my new position is higher and pays better and has full benefits. We’ll just have to see if power and money can buy happiness.
It’s funny though, that when I did get this job, other companies keep calling, where were these companies when I really wanted to change jobs. Oh well, nothing comes easy. I’ve found that out. Only when I stick to what I really want is when everything eventually falls into place. See I was offered a permanent job at my present company, but it was a lower position and in my estimation a step back in my career progression. That is if I do decide to stay in the industry. I took a chance and didn’t accept what was handed to me and risked having a permanent job at a comfortable place. I knew I wanted something more and did not let anything deter me. I guess life is all about taking chances, moving on from what is comfortable, to seek new challenges.
No more interns, especially the fine ones. Oh well, life goes on.
On Saturday night I was finally able to appreciate how much fun Hawaii was. I have this thing where I can fall asleep without ambient noise, e.g. tv or radio, because I start thinking. I probably stayed up until 3am thinking about everyday we were there. What we did, what we ate, where we went. I appreciate it so much more now. I can’t wait to go back.
So my cousin leaves tomorrow to go back to the homeland. It puts into perspective how much one person can affect our lives. We aren’t really that close, but just having him around makes a world of difference. I hope he comes back with my other cousins.
“It’s been a long, I shouldn’t have left you, without some little nieces and nephews.”
FISHLIPS!!!
9/5/03 Read On and On…
When I move you move, just like that! That Ludacris is so very catchy. It’s been about 5 months since I’ve wrote in this thing. So I’ve decided to write today, since I’m doing nothing at work anyway. I get constant complaints to update this thing from friends, mostly (mc, tc, and bp (not really)).
Speaking of work, politics rule over here. Too much to handle, so I just do the bare minimum to get by without them questioning me. My brain has basically checked out during the day and my body fills the chair in my cube. All my co-workers know I’m disgruntled, but they all support me. Not being at work mentally has really cut my stress level to a minimum. It’s surprising what you can do when you don’t want to do it.
Hawaii was really (not hella, I can’t believe they changed the name of fun day. I’m sad, cuz that was my quote to be on a t-shirt,) fun. Great friends, good times. You can see pics of all the shenanigans on various homepages. As only chief points out, I did not meet my goal of taking a picture with 3 girls I didn’t know previously. Oh well, I tried. But apparently the girls I find attractive don’t find me attractive. So is the case.
I’ve mentioned previously that I have worked with a lot of interns. It has been really cool, cuz all of them have been girls. Our last two were really foine. One of them is coming back to work here again when UCI starts. She’s so hot. The other one is only 18 and may come back to visit on her winter break from college. I’ve showed many of you the pics from her going away party. Let’s just say, it was definitely a Part-A to remember.
I am looking for other work right now, but I’m trying to remain focused on taking the October test. I really want to go back to school, cuz I think I’ve had enough of a break from it. Work is not all that it’s cracked up to be. You don’t get to see your friends everyday. You can’t hug or kiss anyone (unless you go to the janitor closet). Jay kay. So I can’t wait to go back to school.
What do my bosses think I’m doing right now? Oh that’s right, I don’t care what they think.
Oh, about the two girls that I talked about previously. One of them is psycho. The other is going to Japan. Just my luck.
One of the interns, speaks my dialect, so we can talk trash about people. It’s bad, but we can do it in front of them and not go behind their backs. Just goes to show again how much I don’t care anymore about work.
I’ve exhausted all of the websites I usually visit during work. I can’t use friendster at work, so it’s pretty bunk. Can anybody recommend any good ones? I’ve bought all the shoes I can on ebay, read most everyone else’s blogs, and have checked my online email about 40 times a day.
What’s funny is that I always listen to ghetto rap now. It’s so catchy and you don’t have to think about what they’re saying, because it doesn’t even matter. What matters is that bass bumping beat!
Back to work. I handled all my personal business when everyone else was at the staff meeting. I’m so disgruntled.
4/2/03 April Fools
Phone rings
M: Gerard. can you come get me, I';m downstairs.
G: Yeah, I will be right there.
M: I wanted to visit you guys.
G: What a nice surprise, thanks for stopping by.
M: I haven't watched the movie yet.
G: Really?
M: We should do something.
G: Yeah, sure, what do you want to do?
M: Dinner and a movie?
G: Okay, that sounds good.
M: What don't you like to eat.
G: Anything is fine with me.
M: Cool, we'll go to dinner and if we're not too tired, we'll catch a movie.
G: Sounds like a plan, maybe we should get each other's cell phone numbers.
M: I don't give out my number to work people.
G: That's cool.
M: Just kidding.
Interesting. I thought she was out of the picture.
Hahaha, April fools!!!
Late March/03 Girls, Girls, Girls
Flashback summer 2002:
G: Yeah, I have a lot of shoes.
L: Really? How many?
G: A lot
L: Oh, there's a sale at Nordstrom.
G: Oh, that's cool
Present day:
L: Do you want to go shoes shopping?
G: Yeah, sure, when?
L: Whenever, you can be my shoe buddy.
G: Okay, we'll wait for a Friends and Family Footlocker sale.
L: Okay.
It is different having the ball in my court. Not being the nervous one. Not the one wanting to do something with the other person. It is really weird because I am used to being the one initiating conversation that could lead to doing something.
Maybe I've changed. Maybe I've come out of my shell. I don't think so at all. I am just the same old corny nice guy. Maybe girls like that. I dunno. I have been told that I should look at myself with more confidence. To know that others perceive me better than I perceive myself, is uplifting. Maybe finally my confidence is catching up to what people observe of me.
Just the other day we had dinner at Market Broiler. The waitress was really cute and tall. He has the same style frames as mine. I look up and for a minute our eyes connect. She asks if we ever been there before. I say no. She starts to go over the menu, while it is in my hand, lightly brushing her hand against mine, the entire time. She danced every time she came to our table. Of course, I did not make a move. I used to get excited and would think that she liked me. But because I did nothing, I do not linger and mull over it. I figure, if I do not know for sure, then I do not know at all. No more of this guessing and thinking madness. It is not kismet, it is what you make of what you are handed.
There is one thing to be said though: I love intern(ship program)s!
Let us ball!
3/11/03 Big Pimpin
"She's out of my league. I think I'll end it before it even begins." -Matt Murdock
I've worked with several interns at work to date and none really have caught my attention like the one I have now. She's playful, sweet, and doesn't wear makeup. Got drunk only once in her life. Always asks me how I'm doing. Gave me a coughdrop when she heard me cough. Got me water when I came in sick. Gave me a hug last Friday when I was feeling down.
Today
G: You okay?
M: Yeah, just having a bad day.
G: Kinda like what I had on Friday?
M: Yes.
G: I'm sorry
M: It's okay. You know what would make us feel better?
G: What?
M: Let go watch "Bringing Down the House"
G: Okay. (as I jump with joy in my mind)
Did I just get asked out by a girl? I don't think so. I must be dreaming. Someone wake me up.
The other girl at work has become one of my closer friends. I can ask her any and everything. Even about relationships. I used to be uncomfortable around her, but who wouldn't. As Snoop said "Baby Girl, You're so Beautiful."
The Saga Continues...
2/19/03 The Return of the Prodigal Roommate
As the Staind song goes: "It's been a while". Work is good for now. Especially a job that I can enjoy because of the people I work with.
I'm thinking nowadays again. Mostly about how many people a person can meet in their lifetime. And how that one of those people can be the "one". You never know. Personally, I'm not even looking anymore, even though it might be right in front of me. I don't think it's worth it.
Vice=Shoes
Lately, I've been consumed in consumerism. I'm in more debt than when I didn't have a job. Maybe Poppa Diddy Pop was right: "Mo Money, Mo Problems". I always do these things in phases though. I bet I won't buy anything big for a while now, just because Im bored of it. I'll probably do something else now.
Something just feels right when someone I know is around. I can't explain it. Maybe she makes me feel good about myself or just having her around makes me feel at peace with everything else. Nonetheless, I wish I could tell her that. But I won't because it's not my style.
08/25/02 Uh Huh
Remember that time I didn't write in my journal for the longest time? Yeah, me too. It's just that I haven't had much to write about, come to think of it, I haven't been thinking. I don't seem to think about anything anymore, that's why I haven't written here in a while. I've stopped thinking about the future, the possibilities of having relationships, and a miscellany of other stuff. I figure what's the point? What's here is now and if I don't do anything about it, I'll be stuck in the present.
I've stopped listening to rock because the songs make me think too much. I haven't written rhymes in such a long time. I haven't been reading my friends'journals. I really haven't watched much TV except for the news, which is fake anyways. So I haven't had to think about much of anything. It may be bad, but that's the way it is right now. I'm too comfortable.
Then I watched Amelie. Great movie. Would have been better if I knew what they were saying. J/K. Thinking sucks, but it's a necessity if one wants to grow. And boy, have I done that lately...
07/21/02 And now deep thoughts with g handy
Work sucks!!! The job is boring. I drive 2 hours everyday in traffic. I have left shoulder pains. I have constant headaches. I have other problems related to sitting for prolonged amounts of time. I need to find another job asap. Something closer to home, something more interesting than clinical research, and something that will keep me moving.
Chris used the phrase "busy hands", I think I have busy hands. I'm always wanting to something, cleaning, checking the internet. Maybe I just have ADHD. Maybe that's why I can't remember anything.
My life is just like a movie. Things are constantly going on, there is always a plot, and a climax, but unlike most movies, the resolution never is favorable. At least not for me. Just like a movie, I can't touch the things or people. I have no say in what goes on. I could have one, but unfortunately, I think I'm the one on mute.
I always say I'm not looking for anyone. This is true, but now I think there needs to be a little effort on my part to spark something. Whatever, that's not me and that's why I will never find anyone. I used to think that I wasn't good enough for anyone. Now I believe that no one is good enough for me. I'm too freaking picky. I've had chances, but somehow, I always find a flaw that turns me away. I hate myself for this mentality.
One more thing, I don't believe in signs and serendipity. For me at least, I think it's a bunch of oscar meyer. I think signs just pop up because you're looking for them. They stand out more because you are infatuated with that particular person and everything that you see, hear, or feel reminds you of them. And if serendipity were true, I'd be with Kristin Kreuk right now. Call me cynical, but that's just me. What does love mean to me? Zero...as in tennis and my life.
07/07/02 It's been a long time, I shouldn't have...said that.
Like Whoa!!! It's been such a long time since I've written here and so many things have happened. Graduation (not mine), graduation parties, hanging out, chauffeuring, shopping, and working. The last two the most.
Pilipino Graduation: Nice ceremony. My only gripe, it's not the Pilipino Flag, it's the Philippine Flag. You don't own it, it represents you.
Graduation: Walked again for the third time, probably do it again next year, if I can find another giant to lend me their robe. That Schoenweiss guy always says that social sciences is the biggest school. He just never tells you that most of the graduates didn't start out in that school. Besides that, gameboy was fun.
Hanging out never ends. I just wish we did it on nights when I didn't have work the next morning. Basketball sometimes gets me tired, but I think I'm starting to recuperate.
Chauffeuring my Aunt and Uncle around was cool, got to go shopping a lot. Already miss them, but I dont have to drive as much anymore.
Shopping: Women be shopping!!! Okay, not really, I be shopping and just can't stop, I don't even know how to stop, because I invented the remake.
Working: Just finally getting back into 8 to 5 routine. Fatigue is finally not a factor, but it was for about half a month of driving my relatives, playing ball, and just starting work.
What does tomorrow bring? A trip here, work there. Another whirlwind of things to do. I think I like this way of life better even though I miss just sitting at home. We'll see how things pan out. One thing I do know, I'm not getting married until I'm 73.
06/09/02
How boring can the NBA finals be? Today's game was surprisingly close at the end. What's fishy is, right before the Nets went on their scoring run, NBC flashed a picture of David Sterling sitting with NBC president Dick Ebersol. More excitement means more money for NBC. What a farce.
I recall about this time last year, two certain people calling me when the other L.A. team won the championship. I didn't answer, but they did leave voicemails. These voicemails were vulgar and full of expletives. Needless to say I hope those people don't take any satisfaction from this finals win, because this series was a joke.
By the way, only the U.S. cares about basketball at this time. The rest of the world is watching world cup soccer along with me. At least it's not as commercial as the NBA...yet.
2 more pairs of shoes this weekend. Anyone want to go Vegas?
06/03/02
Sandy Eggo Thursday, Disneyland Friday, Shopping Saturday, Picnic Sunday, and Work Monday. No, I'm not busy at all.
Sandy Eggo: Old Town was cool, so were the exchanges, but I didn't buy anything. Too weird, even for me.
Disneyland was pretty darn fun. I remember it being so big when I was younger, now it seems like Space Mountain is so close to Splash Mountain. I saw kids running to get into line, with anticipation in their eyes for what twists and turns the ride may hold. I wish it were that fun again. But that Fastpass thingy is pretty darn cool and southern fried chicken with andouille sausage and dirty rice is pretty darn good.
Shopping Saturday. Okay, I broke down and got some stuff. A pair of Jordans, 2 Gameboy Advance Games, and Car Charger. For guess how much? That's right: $37. Gotta love tick bazaars.
Picnic Sunday was cool. Gotta see old Frizzends. Went shopping in between, curses!!! Oh well, at least I have a job now. I was like friend to all. Keep the Half and Halfs company because no one else will. Play with the 3 year olds at the slides, entertain the oldies with music, and talk street slang with the young'uns. Yes, my name is renaissance man.
Sitting there at my temporary desk, I'm thinking, I can make more money sitting at home picking my nose than staying here and doing this stuff. Oh well, next week I'll get more hours. Plus the place is like a compound. You don't have to leave because it has a gym, a full bball court, tennis courts, running track, cafeteria, and carpet. I can't believe they have carpet.
Can't think anymore, must go slizzeep.
05/28/02 Cherries Jubilee!
So Bert asks what's my favorite slot machine because I know his. I say Wild Cherry. My first $1000 jackpot on Cherries Jubilee. Dessert for Dinner on Saturday night: Cherries Jubilee. Late Sunday night, early Monday morning, another helping. $70 total won on Wild Cherry this weekend.
Thanks to Reg, Michelle, Jevon, and Bee for some good times. Thanks to Bert, Chris, and Jase for great times. We were 3 for 4 this weekend, but I know if Front Page were there, we would have batted 1.000 Thanks for going Cherry picking with me fellas (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink). I've never done that, I mean go Cherry picking. It was really fun and I don't know how it came about and how it lasted so long.
I never had so many girls asking me questions, usually it';s the other way around. Anyways, that Sunday was so great, thanks guys. Thanks to Chris, his family, and his friends for the hospitosity the whole weekend. You're welcome Ja$e and see you in Vancouver, BC. So Bert, when are we going back?
So on the way home, we exit for the Pho restaurant, there's a street vendor selling Cherries right off the exit. If that's not a sign, then Railroad Crossing is.
Happy Belated Birthday Danny!!!
P.S. I said What's Up to Michael Olowokandi at Just for Feet at the Forum Shops and Godfather was shopping at the Nike outlet with his wife and two kids. They're huge, the Celebrities that is.
05/21/02
So I guess I am gonna work in this century again after all. Kinda hesitant about though. At least it's part time for now, it'll get me back in the habit (which coincidentally is the subtitle to Sister Act 2, pretty clever isn't it?)
I need to learn how to play post defense. I'm getting ripped up in the paint. Sprained one finger last week, now sprained another one today. It's okay, got 8 left. If only Fernie wished that I had 12 fingers, I'd still have 10 in use.
I have not much else to parlay at the moment but I have a cheesy quote that I made up:
"Please kiss me on my eyes so that I may always feel what I can't always see."
05/13/02
McRib: No Mc, no Rib, What's the Deal? Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?
Moments spent at the mall means people watching. Watching people interact with each other, turning my head to the occasional woman that walks by. There is much said about a pretty face. The face speaks volumes. Too much makeup is not good. Beauty is in simplicity. No makeup or even makeup that simply accentuates the fine features of a face is great. Call me picky or even prejudice, but skinny women are not really attractive to me. They have to have a little meat on them. Proportionality, another key to perfection in my eyes. Now if only the women that see me have my philosophy of a meaty guy. You know what I mean.
I suppose confidence is everything. I would not look at women who cower in their own inequities, but rather exude an air of confidence, but not to the point of arrogance. If only I could live my life with confidence because right now, there isn't much to be confident about. Well I'll try.
So like one famous Rough Rider said: "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Two things that I always do.
05/05/02
Cinco De Mayo, NOT Mexico's Independence Day.
Anyways, last night was pretty darn awesome. Got to see a lot of old friends, the people that you used to see everyday at school. Witnessed a great show. Had some good food. But most of all, I ended last night the way I wish I could end every night: seeing someone that makes me weak in the knees, even after three years. It's a great feeling to go to sleep to. Now if I could only tell her how I feel. In due time, in due time...
Today was a whole different thing altogether. It was a busy day, turning my attention from one family member to another. First, went shopping for a new range exhaust for my mom's new stove. Went to Lowe's to find wiring to connect to the new doohickey. Installed both the wiring and range hood into the kitchen. Next helped my Dad unload the truck. Then played a quick game of NBA LIVE with my bro. Then went shopping with my aunt for a new headlight for a blown out one and a blown out reverse light for my Dad's truck. Installed both the headlight and reverse light. Then finally, loaded the miracle-gro for the front lawn for my Lola. I guess that was it. Fell asleep for 30 minutes then woke up to finish Kingpin on ESPN classic.
Let's see where tomorrow brings me...
04/27/02
I was just thinking about that overprotected song by Britney today. I was thinking about how it could relate to someone's life, as professed in a homepage. My mom watched it on the TRL tape in between Howie D.'s interview, right before I went online. So I go online, reading that particular homepage, and there it was, the song for that day. I used to believe in signs, but now I just think it's silly. I spend too much reading into them, always wondering, what if. Well, I have just disregarded all that nonsense now and don't even believe in them. It's like a shooting star is just a meteor that is lost in space, burning up on the inside. I guess I'm just a shooting star with nowhere to go, and eventually I will be nothing.
On a lighter tip, there's usually a flame.
BDAY coming up, sure sounds a whole lot like DDAY. I hope everyone knows what DDAY is. Okay, I'm just rambling now. It just makes me sad to know that Byron Scott, Nate McMillan, and Isiah Thomas are all head coaches. I used to watch them play. I am old, but not as old as ROchester, the city.
04/17/02
Today was the first time ever that I felt confident going to Ring Road. After 5 years of avoiding it as best I could, I couldn't believe that I was actually there, not worrying if anyone would see me. Even after seeing some people I did know, it didn't faze me. I got a hug from a month and ran into a few monthly reminders. But I was there for the job fair. Why do they call it a job fair when it's not fair that you don't get a job?
Let me breakdown the thirty minutes that I did spend handing out resumes and meeting recruiters:
(R) will stand for recruiters
Me: Hi I'm Gerard, nice to meet you.
R: Hi I'm (insert elongated professional name here, e.g. Steven).
Me: Do you have any openings for coordinator positions?
R: Let me see, what are you looking for?
Me: Well, I have experience in coordinating healthcare matters. (handing my resume to R)
R: (looking at my resume) Well, for the type of experience that you do have, we currently do not have anything.
Me: Oh okay, well what can I do if there are any openings coming up?
R: I suggest you should periodically visit our website to check if you would qualify for anything. In the meantime we'll hold onto your resume.
(Translated: Who are you kidding? You'll never work for this company. Eat my shorts! This resume will look better in a file folder at the back of a stinky file cabinet.)
Me: Well, thanks anyway. You have a good day. (Translation: I'll never see you again in my life right? This is pail, this is bucket!)
The preceding was brought to you by the word CYNICAL.
Anyways, another thing that I hate is people who are standing right next to each other that have to scream to communicate, even though they're outside and it's not that loud. This really pisses me off.
Clippers won yesterday! I'm just sad that I didn't win an Elton Brand bobblehead. :(
If Lakers go all the way this time, there is truly an NBA conspiracy. C'mon, think about it, every freakin' store has excess Lakers stuff. What better way to sell out of that stuff than to have the Lakers win the championship again. It doesn't matter anyways, there is only one NBA team in LA to me.
I'm as happy as a little girl. And now we dance!
04/14/02
Gosh, why am I always sleepy the whole day? Whatever, it's not like I have nothing to do all day. Everytime I wanna update this thing, I end up getting really sleepy. The funny thing is, even though I'm sleepy around 9-10pm, I end up sleeping at 3-4am.
Life is weird. I don't really like talking about my life. So, like in that army commercial: "If I were to write a novel about my life, would anybody read it?" I seriously doubt it. Every chapter would start out: "Today I bought a pair of shoes." How boring, I wouldn't even write it.
So, I don't think I'll ever work in this century again. I'm going back to school. I need to soon.
Marsha Thomason, look her up, I love her eyes.
"Why do we adore the ones who ignore us and ignore the ones who adore us?"
04/03/02
I don't think I'm gonna play PUSO's 3 on 3 this year. It's not that I don't want to, I just dunno if I can find a girl to play. The only girl I know who could or would play on our team, shyorts, really doesn't like playing bball. I'll ask her anyways. I bet we would draw No. Cal is #1 first round anyways. What a fix.
Add Sanaa Lathan to my top five, don't know where she would fit in there, but she's in there. If you don't know who she is, I'm not gonna hold it against you.
Philip Banks is my favorite TV character. He's stern, yet playful. I dunno. I watch 3 episodes daily. "Geoffrey, break out Lucille!"
I hate how it's so hard to see everyone that you know. We used to see each other almost everyday. I guess I just took those days for granted, cuz everyday I wonder when I'm gonna see certain people again. I think that's another reason I wanna go back to school. To meet people, mostly women, cuz apparently I'm a little too old for anyone at UCI. But too immature to snag anyone my age. Conundrums.
Well, no job really = no money now. From now on I kinda wanna do free things that involve exercise...e.g. Bball, even if I'm not playing 3 on 3. ClIpPeRs RuLe!!! <----How annoying is that?

Okay, so someone has commented that I haven't updated this page in a while. Well, here it is.
I hope everyone has fun at Vegas. It was weird not having anyone on my buddy list the whole weekend. My brother asked me if I was gonna do anything on Friday with my friends? I said, they're almost all in Vegas.
It was pretty sad that I was the oldest guy at Sportsfest for Blueballs. But hey, I love the game and the game loves me. Joke Palindrome, Point G-rard!!! I think I'm gonna hang up the jersey, nah prolly not, not until I can teach the young 'uns the mental aspect of the game. All the new girls on the team were asking for MY advice exclusively. That was pretty freakin' awesome. It's always nice to know that what I know can be passed on. No one exceptionally cute, but some had they good points. I made a couple of errors, went 3 for 3 and impressed the few Kaba supporters and my brother with my hitting. We pretty much got pummeled every game, but it was fun nonetheless and Jevon hugged me no less than three times proclaiming his "swan song" and lamenting that he didn't want to go out on a wimpy note. Plus free Krispy Kreme donuts.
Highlight of that saturday: getting my CLIPPERS shooting shirt!!! and of course, the girls on our team. Anyways, bought more shoes, another two pairs this weekend. Probably another pair this coming weekend. I need a girlfriend now so my expenses go towards her and not more shoes. Who am I kidding, that'll never happen. At least I'll have all the shoes I need when I get older...I just hope they can cook well...

Finding a job is like trying to find a decent girl. You do a lot, setting yourself up, hoping, but in the end it's always too good to be true and all that you put into it all goes for not.
Why can't I find someone who's not married to hang out with? It's probably because they already have a secure relationship to fall back on and still wanna have fun with with the "fun guys". You know, the guys who are so much fun to hang out with, yet are not relationship material. AKA I'm a "Mr. Right", not a "Mr. Right Now." Whatever. Just wait til that time that someone is looking for a Mr. Right, they ain't gonna find it in me!!! I'll be too fun to hang out with forever.
I'm not looking for a relationship, it's just that I want someone outside of the circle that I can talk to about things. Besides I don't think a relationship will ever find me because I never go out. Maybe I'll find someone at the mall, when I buy my next pair of shoes. Yeah right, I don't shop at Lady Foot Locker.
That's what I wanna do, buy shoes for a department store or something. I thought I stopped buying shoes, but I can't help it, they're my fix and my vice at the same time.
Well, time to go, maybe the TV will talk back. It does sometimes, but not often. It just rambles, like me.
I'm Izzout of Hezeere!!!

Okay, what the heck happened to my other stuff. I'm kinda peeved right now, anyways, I'll write more when I get more inspiration.
