This is a very
special entry because I am going to share with you guys an
actual written journal entry word for word that I have kept
since 1989. This was not written by me, but by my mom about
a month after I first got my journal. I never understood why
she wrote it in my journal until now...
Problems?????
All people have
problems, problems are a part of life. It is hard to accept
it if it is bigger than you. Always remember, don't let your
problems put you down, or else it will kill you, and when
you're down, you gonna think that your life is useless. It
becomes a big challenge to us and it is hard to cope with.
Just bear in mind, ask help from GOD and believe that He is
guiding you, caring for you and best of all He loves you
everyday. Think about your future, your love ones and think
that you have only a bad dream and when you open your eyes,
what a bright, beautiful day! It lights up your life and
comes a new day of HOPE, HAPPINESS, PEACE and LOVE for the
rest of your life.

Shiet, as what
you guys probably noticed, this site is still very under
construction. Don't even bother going to the other sections.
Unfortunately, time is a very precious commodity for me at
the moment and I must learn to prioritize... that said this
web thingy isn't going to be done very soon =( .
Anyways, I am
currently fighting the battles that rage in my head. I may
look cool and relaxed on the outside, but on the inside I am
a crazed, bitter mad man. Why? Hah, I keep asking myself
that too...many times. Maybe its because I'm jealous of my
peers and loved ones. One thing is certain though, the
person I once knew is gone. Maybe it's something that I had
said that changed how I was perceived...my character or
personality.
"Why do we fall?
It's because we could learn how to pick ourselves up."
ACCEPTANCE...
the counting stops now.

Damn what a
day... today marks my first speeding traffic ticket that I
have ever gotten in my entire life! "Woo hoo !" I say
sarcastically. Well then, let me tell the details of what
happened. I might as well document this because right now I
am high on caffeine from the Monster drink I drank on the
way to SD =P. So, I was going 80 mph on cruise control on my
accord going south on the 15 highway near Tiera Santa
(that's what the ticket says). On that part of that freeway,
there's an uphill portion so mostly people driving 80 mph
without cruise control would naturally slow down. But, as my
luck has it, I was on cruise control so my car accelerated
really fast up that hill to keep the constant 80 mph speed.
I was like, "Oh,
shit...damn I should slow down..." cuz I heard my engine
work real hard to get to 80 mph.
I braked, but
all of a sudden these flashing red lights appeared behind
me. I thought at first that it was an ambulance, so I
switched lanes to let it pass me...but it didn't go past me
and instead followed me and matched my speed. At that point,
I realized it was highway patrol.
"Fuck!" I said
to myself. So after some cursing, I pulled over to the curve
on the freeway. The cops behind me did so too, but then
later using the microphone they said that I should exit to
the nearest exit to get off the freeway. Once I pulled over
off the freeway, the cop came to my window. The cop was
African American, in his thirties maybe, and looked vaguely
familiar. With a grin, which I have no idea why he was
grinning, he said, "Good evening, we pulled you over because
you were speeding. Do you know the speed limit?"
I said, " Yes
sir, its 65 mph."
"And you were
going?" the cop asked.
"I was going 80
mph sir, because I was in cruise control," I responded which
as I think of it now was a pretty stupid excuse.
Routinely, the
cop asked for my license and registration. I gave them
to him after frantically searching for my registration. He
then asked whether I just got out of the navy since he had
seen the DECAL base sticker on my front mirror. I explained
to him that my Dad retired from the navy... at that point I
just wanted the ticket so that I could leave and go home. He
then asked whether the address is my current address. I told
him no, cuz I just recently moved to Temecula.
He goes, "Do you
know your address from there?"
"No, sir I don't
know it. But I could get it if I call my brother," I said.
"Ok, you go and
do that," said the officer.
Damn it I
thought to myself. How could I not know the address!
So, I called my bro and he gave me the address plus a
comment saying that my Dad is going to kill me when he finds
out I got a ticket. I wrote it down and showed it to the officer.
He looked at it,
and said, "Wait, it says Winchester, CA not Temecula. I
thought you told me that you live in Temecula."
I explained to
him that that's the right address. He then said looking at
the what I wrote down, "What's the zip code?"
"Oh, its 921..."
I got cut off
and the cop said, "That's not Temecula's zip code. I live at
Temecula and that's not the zip code."
I sat there in
silence. I chuckled, "I am confused, but that's the right
address."
Still grinning,
the officer advised me that I should tell the post office to
from now on forward all my mail to my current address
because I will receive in a few weeks a citation. With that,
he left and another officer came by and gave me the actual
ticket. As I left the officers, I was surprised that I
wasn't too pissed for getting the ticket. Also, I was trying
to figure out why he looked so familiar...and then it hit
me. He looked just like that guy in the first Predator
movie. He looks like that guy who got his arm chopped off by
predator hahaha!! Oh boy, how am I gonna pay for this
ticket...shit!!
