BUTTONS! (5/31/03)

Hi guys. It's April! I made 2 buttons for Vince's page. Here they are:

FYI: Save the buttons on your own server thing or whatever it's called. If you don't, you'll end up with a big red X instead of an image.

Yeaaaaaa, Kat.. we got buttons!



Lift Me Up... (5/28/03)

Yup, I'm still "Aiken for Clay!" Should I pre-order the single on Amazon.com? Or should I go out on June 10, first thing in the morning and buy me n April each a single? I think I'll just go out n get it. Yup, I'ma buy two of 'em cuzz we gotta support Clay. He's the BEST! Oh yeah, the single is the song playing right now, "This is the Night." You like? Go out n buy it on June 10!

Let's see... How's life been? Mine isn't all too well. Could be a lot better. But I plan on making everything better in any way I can. I worked on Monday, Memorial Day. BORING! Yup, Seven and a Half hours of pretty much boredom. Oh well, I'm getting paid for it. I came home that night to some problems at home and so me, Kuya West, n my Daddy talked about a lot of things. A WHOLE LOT. So we all gotta work on things... Later, I Finally got to talk to my Princess that night at around 1am. I MISSED HER LOTS! The Chunky Monkey is lost without his Princess... I don't know what I'd do without her! =)

I hope you all don't think I'm a weirdo for writing about personal stuff at times. The only people that really know about my webpage are my buddies who care about me. I write in here to help me deal with stuff and to let my buddies who read this know what's going on in my life. I use this webpage to kinda vent/brag (hehe) about the joys/sorrows/troubles/triumphs in my life and to help my friends who read this to understand me better. Oh yeah, and sometimes I forget a "Thank You" or something else I wanted to say to a friend, so this is a convenient place to make up for whatever I forgot. Oh and finally, this is a place to write to My Princess and tell her how much I LOVE HER. Yur Chunky Monkey LOVES YOU April! =)

Back to school for me! Gosh! Shudda passed Calculus 2 when I had the chance, huh? I tell you, it's the Spring Semester Curse! Hehe... Just kidding, I don't believe in curses. But I did FAIL Biology in the Spring of 2002. I guess we're just gonna have to fix that. Yesterday was the first day of summer school and YUP, I didn't go! Too much on the Chunky Monkey's mind. But Good Ol' April talked me into it and I went to school today. The teacher is cool. Reminds me of Daniel Beddingfield. Seems like the semester is gonna go well, as long as I do my homework. Me do homework? I know it's a crazy idea, but it just might work...

So, everyone go buy Clay Aiken's single. This guy is a STAR. You know it, I know it, we all know it! I admit it, I am a CLAYniac and I'm still Aiken for Clay! Hahahahahaha! =)



Chunky Monkey??? (5/25/03)

Hmmm... April called me her "Chunky Monkey" last night. She says I'm getting a lil outta shape and losing my figure. YEAH RIGHT! Well, maybe I really am. I dunno. I guess being an OC does that to you. Before when I was a Supe, I'd run around and do all this physical activity. Now I don't do so much of that physical work so I'm guessing that all the JUNK FOOD me n April eat is catching up with me. Hehehe. Oh well! If I turn from Chunky Monkey to BIG FAT MONKEY, you're just gonna have to LOVE ME April!

Let's see... What have I been up to since Disneyland? Wednesday, Me n April watched Daddy Day Care. Cool movie but I wouldn't pay to watch that. I would have felt ripped off if I did. Thursday, Me n April ate at Chili's cuzz I got PiZZaid and we haven't been to a "fancy" (haha) restaurant in a while. So yeah, we broke the bank there and had a blast. I worked that night... Did my Inventory/Close Concessions thing. It's getting a lil easier juggling both but it is a lotta work. Oh well, if the managers want me to do INV then I'll do it till they don't want me to. I can handle it though, cuzz I'm a MARQUEZ. I'm keeping the MARQUEZ DYNASTY at AMC alive! =) Friday was the BC Picnic turned Garage Party cuzz some people couldn't go to Seaport. Was it ghetto? YEAH! Was it fun? Yup! I met some cool people and saw some of the Bobbies that I haven't seen in forever. We'll have another Get Together soon that'll be much, much better. We're gonna plan this next one all the way through!

Back to work again on Saturday. In the morning, I helped Romeo change out his tire and we went to Plaza while the tire was getting replaced. We ate at Oscar's and it was YUMMY! This time we finished our food! I was able to finish mine cuzz I was in a good mood this time. The we walked around Plaza and then went back to Discount Tire to get his tire. Then we went to Romeo's house, slapped on the tire, and I headed home. I worked from 3pm-11something pm Lower Floor. Man was it boring! I helped Usher cuzz some dude didn't show up and got tired pretty quick. I'm really outta shape. I've been away from all the physical activity and I'm starting to realize why all the managers are "BIG-BONEded"... Hehe, Just Kidding. I did talk to the Ushers when they checked tickets. I talked to Rosa and her bro James for a while cuzz they're cool. They helped the time pass a bit faster. I went home sleepy as yeah, and chatted with my Mom n Dad. Then I called my Princess and talked to her for like an hour and a half and then hit the sack (No, I didn't go and smoke a sack of weed, I went to sleep). That was the last time I talked to my Princess... =(

Today I woke up at like 3pm! Crazy, huh? I had the biggest sleep-hangover! I still had the hang-over when I got to work at 5! I tried calling April at around 4pm but I guess she was hanging with her cousins. So then I sent her a text message before I left for work telling her that her "Chunky Monkey" MISSES HER n LOVES HER cuzz I really, really, really do! I closed the Concession stand today and it was CRAZY BUSY when I got there. To top that off, at around 9pm, all the buttons on our registers went away so we had to go old school and break out the old pen, paper, and calculator. So Me n Laura had register keys so we had to open the registers for every transaction that a concessionist made so they could give change. I finally got off at 12:45am and yup, I was tired n sleepy. Oh yeah, I tried calling My Princess during my break but she was busy so I called Romeo n he was working. I called Mark and chatted with him a bit and guess where he was? Yup, DisneyLand! Waiting in line for Indiana Jones, to be exact. So on my way the parking lot, I left April a goodnight message on her phone and I hope I get to talk to her tomorrow. I MISS HER LOTS!

So tomorrow's Memorial Day and I have to work! 12:30-8 Lower Floor! HAHA. Boring time for me... Then on Tuesday, back to SCHOOL. GOSH, what's up with that? That's life I guess. As long as I have My April, my Family, n My Friends, Life will be GREAT! So GOD, please don't take any of them away, k? I NEED them...



GO Speed Racer, GO! j/k (5/20/03)

Dayum! Today started off TOO CRAZEE! Today was our Disneyland/California Adventure trip. We met up at Speed Racer's (aka Markie's) house. Oh yeah, it was me, My Princess, Romey, LauRy, Katty, CyReeSey, and Markie. So from Markie's house, we went to pick up Sarmie in Mira Mesa... Traffic wasn't too bad and we made it there pretty quick and picked up Sarmie and got back onto the freeway...

Once we got on the freeway, it got WILD. That's when Markie got into Speed Racer mode and just took off. Me, Romey, and Cyrus, being the boys that we are, gave chase to Speed Racer. That FOOL is CRAZY. Traffic was pretty bad and we were weaving in n out of the lanes and in between cars like we were filming 3 Fast 3 Furious! No lie! We musta been called "asshole" or "mutha-somethings" like a million times by all the sane drivers on the road. DAYUM, weaving through busy-ass morning (everyone's rushing to work) traffic @ 90-100something mph is one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever done. Honestly it was kinda exciting, at the time, but I TOTALLY REGRET IT NOW. I could have gotten hurt, someone else could have gotten hurt, and MOST IMPORTANTLY My Princess could have gotten hurt. And I SO REGRET that I put others, especially APRIL in that position of being hurt. BAD, BAD Vince!

Yup, we made it to Disneyland in one piece... I'll put up some info about the day at Disneyland/California Adventure tomorrow. I'm kinda tired. Tonight, I just wanted to write to my friends and maybe help them realize, as I have, of how STUPID we were today...

Sorry Markie n Cyrus for calling you "Speed Racer" and "the Racer Club." I just want you guys to see how bad it is to drive crazy fast and play on the freeway. I mean REALLY, does it matter who gets to the place we're ALL going to first? Come on, if you get there first, you're just gonna end up waiting for the rest of us. Let's just all get there TOGETHER and at the same time. And guys, today we all had our girlfiends with us in our cars. The girls we LOVE and CARE for so much. We ALL KNOW they don't like us driving like that... And we still did. We all put ourselves, others, and our girls at a really high risk of danger today. STUPID! I know it may be hard for you guys to not speed and weave through traffic but it's a really bad habit that we all need to break. It only takes one mistake for us to lose everything... I don't want that to happen to me or to any of you cuzz I CARE about you guys. On the way back, I tried my best to keep you all following Romeo... That's why I didn't tell Cyrus where we were going when we left the gas station. If he didn't know where we were going, I figured he wouldn't try to race there cuzz he'd have to follow. I knew Markie wouldn't get too crazy unless someone "challenged" him cuzz I asked him to chill on the way back down to San Diego. HE SAID HE WOULD... But I know he's so competitive and he got his "challenge", so off they went. I was pretty mad. Then I tried to call Kat to tell Cyrus to relax but couldn't get a hold of her. I didn't call Mark cuzz I know once he starts, there's no stopping him... So then I called Romeo and said "fuck all that, just relax and lead Me n April to Mira Mesa in one piece." Cuzz I don't want to get hurt, don't wanna hurt anybody, and most of all don't want My Princess hurt. It's the best I could do at the time...

So please guys, when you drive, think of all that you could lose if you fuck up. Look at the people in your car (if you have passengers) and think of how life would be like if you lost them. Then ask yourself if it's really worth it to drive all crazy to get somewhere a few minutes quicker or to prove your car is "better."
P.S. Please don't think I'm trying to lecture you or that I'm trying to say I'm better than you guys. You all KNOW I'm NOT like that. You all know that I'm a caring person and will do whatever's needed to help the people I care about. That's what this entry is about. =)


This might be LONG... (5/18/03)

Sorry I haven't typed here in a while. Been BUSY BUSY BUSY. Let's see. Oh yeah, I'll start with my BIRTHDAY. It was the BEST EVER! I got everything I wanted and MORE! I got my APRIL and Romeo got me two shirts. Kat n Cyrus got me a small Modifiers Focus Hatch and a big Wings West Focus Hatch. They're sooo COOL! Rogey and Andy got me a POLO shirt. Yup the REAL POLO brand. Even though I'm not into name brands and all (not my style). Kuya West n Mom n Dad gave me lots of money. So much that I still have some left over! Crazy huh? Big Spender Vince has money LEFT OVER! =) Auntie Amy and Ate Carmina gave me so Hugo Boss Cologne. I like the smell of that stuff but I don't even wear cologne. Maybe I'll start. I dunno tho, cuzz April says I smell good naturally. Oh silly me, I told you about my gifts but didn't tell you what the people I LOVE SO MUCH did for me. On my actual birthday me n Apey went to The Cheesecake Factory and as usual, she tore up her food while I was left taking home half my plate. =) Then we went to Seaport Village lookin for video games and we finally found some at the Navy Base Bowling Alley. Ghetto huh? Haha. Then April took me to the Navy Exchange to buy me a present. And we took a WHOLE HOUR just to find.... Nothing! Sorry Apey, it's just that I have everything I NEED in life. I have my Princess, My Family's happy, I got clothes, a home, the bestest friends ever and I just became an OC at work. What more do I need? So after that, we went home. Oh yeah, we went to Mission after the Cheesecake Factory cuzz Apey April bought me a Cookie Cake at Mrs. Fields. Yum Yum! That night my family and I went to Red Lobster cuzz that's where we've gone for like the passed three whole years. I'm a traditionalist, sorry. It was fun, My Pops even behaved this time cuzz he's a HOMEbody. He likes to stay home and feels awkward in public. Hehe. So that was my B-Day. Even better than my 8th B-Day when we went to Disneyland! Yup!

The day after my B-Day I worked till 5pm. Then waited for Markie to get off work @ 7pm. Then Me, MarKie, RoMey, and CyReeSey went to Buca Di Beppo in Mira Mesa. We ate a whole lot and still had left overs. It was fun. All we did was eat n talk n eat n talk n talk n talk. I'm simple, just talking and hanging out is more than enough for me. April didn't go cuzz her family was over from LA, so she missed out! =P

Sunday was Mama's Day. Sorry Mommy that we didn't do anything really special for you. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. YOU ARE THE BEST! I worked, yup on Mother's Day. After work, Kuya West bought Chinese Food for Mama and we all ate and had a good time. Oh yeah, did you know I was born on Mother's Day? Yup, May 8, 1983 was Mother's day! Maybe that's why we get along so well? Hehe... not really, we can get on each others' nerves so bad. But we always get over whatever's bothering us no matter what. So yeah, I guess you could call me a Mama's Boy. Cuzz I am my Mama's boy and I LOVE HER. =) Next year will be better, I promise!

I screened the Matrix last Wednesday. I brought Rogey cuzz he wanted to watch it SO BAD. Even thought screenings are for STAFF MEMBERS ONLY, I brought him. Cuzz I can do that! =) Roger bought me a drink from starbucks before the movie and then we went to his starbucks by Fry's so he could get his schedule. There we got free drinks. He even went behind the counter and made the drinks himself. And YUP, we got the BIG cups. It was cool hanging out with Roger. We haven't been on good terms for like the passed maybe 2 years. FOR REAL! I don't even remember what happend. But we're Homies again. Thats' all that matters. I honestly didn't think he was ever gonna hang out with me again. Crazy how things work out, huh? Oh yeah, about the Matrix... It's good. Them fight scenes be CRAZEEE! Those twin dudes are the CRAZIEST! I'ma watch it again tomorrow cuzz we have a Security Meeting and then a lil' staff Party to kick off the beginning of summer. We're gonna have food and then watch the Matrix. For those of you who are going to watch the Matrix, STAY till the end of the credits! I know they're long as (you know what), but you'll see a lil teaser trailer for the Matrix:Revolutions (3rd Movie). Yup! Get your money's worth!

Okay fast forward to this weekend... On Friday, April took her last final and then we went to Denny's and ate breakfast. Then I took the Focus to the dealer for a recall and then we went to the computer store to look for something to buy. No luck at all! So then we went to Best Buy and I bought Can't Buy Me Love and The Breakfast Club... Two of the BEST 80's movies ever. Then we went home and I let April borrow Can't Buy Me Love and 2 of the 3 Dvd's from Dawson's Creek:The First Season. I worked that day. I closed the Concession Stand. Kinda got Rocked when people came in for the Matrix, but we held down the fort. We had an 11:45 I-Lock for the Matrix so we didn't close till about 12. We didn't finish the stand till about 1240ish... Then I clocked out, said bye to everyone, n went home. Talked to April that night for a few minutes and then did my computer/tv thing and went to sleep at around 2am...

Saturday, woke up at 10 something and went wid Markie to buy somputer stuff. The BIG BALLER spent 600 something and then we went back to his house to put it all together. CyrOOse got off early and came over to help. I didn't help too much cuzz I was so tired but i tried. Then I went home cuzz Markie had work and I think I took a nap till I had work. Worked Lower Floor from 5 till about 12 something. Someone called in sick so there was no closer for the lower stand! MAN! So yeah, I donned the slick Navy Blue AMC Concessionist Apron! I SO thought those days were over. I almost cried. I'm serious. But after I got over myself, I got to crackin' on the dished. Rosa did about half of 'em so I tore throught the other half wid the quickness cuzz I got skills. Almost 3 years of skills to be exact. HAHA. Yup! I've given AMC the best 3 years of my life... Tee Hee! After all that, I went to the office and changed my availabilty to get more hours. I've got mad bills to pay and it's my goal to pay as much as I can this summer. Talked to April, as usual that night. Fun times. Yup. Then did the computer/tv/computer thing and went to sleep at around 2something. That was Saturday.

Sunday... LONG DAY. Woke up at around 1045am but didn't get the strength to get up till about 1120something. So freakin' tired! Working Late + BAD ASS sleeping habits = TIREDNESS. My shift today was 1230-830 Lower Floor. I was SO SLEEPY went I got to work. I kept drinking the soda for the caffeine but all I got out of it was a whole lotta trips to the Little Boys Room. =) So then I figured the soda stuff wasn't gonna help much so I asked my boy Jerry, oops I mean the AMC Employee formerly know as JERRY (now Jeremiah), to get me something at starbucks when he went on break. I told him I needed not one but TWO shots of the espresso! It was just one of those days. It really was. So I got a venti chocolate brownie frap(i don't know how to spell the rest) with two shots of espresso and some hazelnut. Good stuff. Woke me up for a while. It was pretty boring though. It was pretty slow but the Matrix shows all sold out so we had to get ushers to check tickets on 'em. Somehow Alex ended up checking tickets the whole day so she was my talking buddy cuzz I didn't wanna stand and be bored the whole day. And yes! I still did my work! She's pretty cool to talk to. Talked about a whole lotta stuff. About her whole affair with Mark O. Yup Mark Oira from Dirty Mission Valley! Mark Oira the SELL-OUT! We talked about relationships, school, work junk, dumb stuff... But it was cool, it REALLY helped the time pass. I dunno how I woulda survived 8 hours down on the lower floor without someone cool to talk to. Tomorrow's the security meeting/staff party. During security meetings the managers with an OC partner get up in front of everyone and discuss a certain topic on security. I didn't have a partner till today and I was kinda worried. I thought Jen would ask me cuzz we're Inventory Buddies but she didn't... =( I thought we were COOL. Oh well! Jason is my partner now, her LOSS! HEHEHE... I hope I don't make a fool of myself tomorrow. Oh yeah, Mark O is coming down for the meeting cuzz Mission peeps can go if they want. Guess why or should i say WHO he's coming for.... Yup, ALEX! Hahaha! Comedy. And if you ask them if they like each other, all you'll get is a "We're just FRIENDS." =) Too Funny!

I guess you all are all caught up... Hopefully you all made it to the end of this entry. Sorry it's so long. Hopefully you all like how I type a lot cuzz most people with online journals write so little. Just sharing my life n thoughts with all my friends who read this. Oh, and if there's tipografikal errors, please excuse them, I'm sleepy, it's late, and this entry is TOO LONG to proofread. Good Morning! (it's like 2:21am 5/19) --- Vince



WHAT'S UP, HOT STUFF?! (5/16/03)

Hey guys. This is April speaking.. err... TYPING.. (Haha. Sound familiar Romeo?!) As the "webmaster" for Vince's page, it is my duty to update things around here 'cause Vince can't seem to do it right. Hah. Just kidding! Also, he wanted me to tell ya'll (his beloved fans) that he's been super busy lately with school.. play.. work.. play.. work.. play.. work.. play.. and more work work work work with very little sleep. He also says.. HI!

Oh, and if you haven't done so.. Make Vince happy and go watch The Lizzie McGuire Movie! =D



Whoa! The Big Two-Ohh (5/8/03)

Happy Birthday to me! =) Today's my B-day. I'm 20. I don't really feel any different. I'm still me. Let's see, today I plan on spending the day with My Princess April. I LOVE HER and SHE LOVES ME. She's SPECIAL so she gets first dibs on celebrating with me. I dunno what we're gonna do, but as long as she's with me, it'll be a great day.

I'm pretty HAPPY this year. I really got what I wanted. Yup, My Princess. We've had our troubles lately, I'm sure you all know. But we've worked them out and have become a better couple cuzz of it. Yup, I'm HAPPY! Thanks to everyone who helped me get my gift. Thanks Kat n Cyrus for talking and listening to me and for the support. Thanks to Markie too, he listened a lil (when he wasn't laughing). Big, Big THANKS to Romeo, for taking me out when I was bummed and spending time with me when I felt so alone. And for the LONG talks of the phone. Thanks for all the food too! Thanks Buddie! I don't think I could ever repay you. But I'll try.

And of course, THANK YOU APRIL! You're the BEST.

Don't worry buddies, Friday is when we'll all hang out! What do you guys wanna do? I don't really know what to do, I just wanna hang out with you guys. So if you guys could come up wid a plan, that would be really cool. You know how indecisive and easy-going I am. So whatever would be great.

Okay, enough about me n my Birthday. Let's see... Oh, I changed the song on my page. It's "The Tide is High" by Atomic Kitten. It's off the Lizzie Soundtrack. You all should go watch that movie. Great Movie. I promise!

Oh yeah, to my buddy Laura:SORRY FOR GIVING OUT TOO MUCH LIZZIE INFO! I don't think I ruined it too much. If You n Romeo watch Lizzie on a day I'm workin', ask for me and I'll see what I can do about AMC's crazy high ticket prices... =). Yup, just to show you how sorry I am. Oh yeah, I was gonna give Romeo the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD (By The Way), if you want it. I got tired of it. Just tell him if you want it...

So... I guess I'll go enjoy my Birthday now. Everyone have a GREAT DAY!



Work Work Work! (5/5/03)

Guess what I did all weekend? Yup, Work! Let's see I worked from 5pm till about 1am on Friday, Box Manager Training. On Saturday I worked from 11:30am till 8pm, Floor Mgr. And on Sunday, I worked from 1pm till 9:30pm, Lower Floor Mgr. Hmmm... Lots of work, huh? If you add last Thursday's LONG Inventory night (7pm till 2am), I worked 32 hours in four days. Whoa! BIG MONEY coming my way! Tee Hee! =)

It wasn't all that bad working so much. Not tiring at all! I was only tired this passed weekend cuzz I only slept for 1 1/2 hours Thursday nite/Friday Morning. Yup, cuzz I got home from work at 2:30am and tried to cram for Friday's Math test till about 5am. Not a good idea at all! My body was trying to catch up with all my missed sleep during the weekend. Sleep Depravation, GOOD STUFF! Anyway, work was GREAT. Really. Not to brag but it's just TOTALLY different now. Not so Physical anymore. Just a lot of responsibility (making sure the staff does their job) and having to deal with others (usually grouchy customers). Enough of work talk, though. I know it's boring to you all.

Life's MUCH, MUCH BETTER now! I LOVE APRIL and APRIL LOVES ME! THANKS to all of you who supported for me and hoped for my HAPPINESS. I'm BLESSED to have such great people in my life. Yup! You all helped me through the one of the toughest weeks of my life. If ever, any of you need anything of me, just ask!

ME n APRIL watched Lizzie McGuire's Movie. Yup, and when we went to my work to get tickets, I didn't ask, I TOLD the GS person to gimme the tix (cuzz I can do that now). Of course I was polite about it though! Hehehe. Back to Lizzie... I LIKED IT LOTS! GREAT movie. The ending made me HAPPY! I wasn't jealous at all! GORDO is da man! (Ooops, sorry if I gave too much away to all you other Lizzie fans who haven't watched it yet.) It's a fun movie, short though. It's kinda like watching a long Lizzie episode. I so badly wanted to give Gordo a HIGH-FIVE! That guy, he's the STUFF!

Hmmm... School. I'd rather not talk about that but I think I will. I think I owe whoever reads this webpage a little more than usual, cuzz I haven't been able to write lately. I have two more CS assignments to do and one STAT project too. I think I'll be able to do them. I just gotta round up the will to actually sit down and do 'em. I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN! -The Little Engine That Could. Remember that book? I like that guy, he's kinda like me. I'm little and COULD do things. I just have to START and BELIEVE in myself. But sometimes, no all the time, it's hard to START my homework. I dunno, I'm stoopid I guess. Oh well, it's crunch time. End of semester. It's either NOW or NEVER (and FAIL).

So yeah... Thanks to all my Buddies for CARING and for all the COMFORT. You guys are the BEST! THANKS ROMEO, KAT, CYRUS, MARK! =) And THANK YOU APRIL for putting up with someone like me. I'm NOT perfect. I may not be able to give you all the things you want, but I'm willing to GIVE YOU ALL I HAVE: MY HEART and MY LOVE.



THE LiZZiE LAYOUT! (5/03/03)

Here's the new layout. Hope you like it, Vince!
-April



OHHH SEEE!!! (4/30/03)

I got promoted to Operations Coordinator at work today. I mean yesterday, cuzz it's 12:15am now so it's officially 4/30. Anyways, it's taken TOO LONG for this. But I hung in there. Thanks for the support April! Thanks for believing in me and pushing me to this. I LOVE YOU! Thanks to all my buddies too! I Love You guys too! Honestly I wasn't excited when I first heard, with all the probs and stuff. But after my talks with My Mommy and April, I feel much better and can ENJOY my accomplishment. Me becoming an OC has been like 3 years in the making! Should have been less, but I was a dummy. I learned though. I've learned a lot of things. I REALLY HAVE. And I'm sure it's only UP from here. Cuzz once you hit rock bottom, the only place to go is up. My BuDDiE ROMEO told me that. I'll never forget that saying. It's helped me a lot.

Wow! I'm gonna be like an assistant manager! Teeny-Tiny Vince an assistant manager? Crazy, huh? Not really, cuzz when you're GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD. No matter how small you are. I'll have a lot more responsiblity now, though. It's cool, I'm thinking I'll have less physical work to do but a lot more responsibilty. In other words, I'll probably be more stressed. Oh well, I'll be making more money so the bills will hopefully get paid off sometime this year. I'll also get to wear a proper looking maroon shirt and some proper looking pants that will make me look like someone important! Tee Hee! Oh yeah, did I mention I LOVE APRIL! I DO!

THIS SONG DESCRIBES MY FEELINGS FOR APRIL

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me?
Would you agree?
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come and now...

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I may be dreamin'
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Could this be the greatest love of all
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this...
Some people wait a lifetime

For a moment like this
Some people spent two lifetimes
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

--- Kelly Clarkson, "A Moment Like This""""

Oh yeah, I LOVE APRIL! YES I DOES!



I need MY EVERYTHING (4/29/03)

I don't know what to do. I'm SO SCARED. My Buddies tell me that they know that APRIL and I WILL GET THROUGHT ALL THIS. That gives me SO MUCH COMFORT. My friends tell me that they see APRIL AND VINCE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. Thanks so much guys! You all have been giving me FAITH and HOPE. Those are just about the ONLY things keeping me going. Helping me to get up in the morning. Everyone seems to belive and see that I'm TRUE AND GENUINE, but I NEED for the MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE to give me the chance to show her. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. EVEN MORE THAN MYSELF! I NEED a CHANCE to prove to her that all that she has ran away from is GONE. ALL I have for her is MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. And I SWEAR that I'm not going to let ANYTHING ruin MY LOVE FOR HER. Nothing! That's because HER LOVE is ALL I NEED. All I would like is a chance. All I want for my Birthday is APRIL'S LOVE. Nothing else! I'd trade in all the Birthday presents I'll ever get in life for APRIL. She COMPLETES ME and I NEED HER. It's the LAST PRESENT I'll ASK OF ANYONE.I SWEAR BY MY LIFE ON THAT.

I LOVE THIS SONG

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

You're the breath of life in me
the only one that sets me free
and you have made my soul complete
for all time (for all time)

I LOVE YOU APRIL FOREVER AND AFTER
--- Your Vince




Empty... (4/26/03)

I'm so Empty right now. REALLY.

I gave my heart away on November 8, 2000 at 5:15PM and I've never gotten it back since.
Right now, My HEART doesn't have a home.
My HEART doesn't want to come back to me because it has already found it's place in the world.
That place is a great place and has a great person to take care of it.
That place is my HEART's HOME.
My HEART won't accept any other place, NOT EVEN WITH ME.
Honestly, I don't even want my HEART back.
My HEART belongs in it's special place with that special someone.
When My HEART is there
I'M HAPPY.
I'M COMPLETE.

I'm sure you all have heard sayings and seen movies that say
Once your HEART has found it's place
it'll NEVER want to come back.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE in that so much.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE IN US.
My Heart doesn't want to be with me, it wants to be at HOME.
HOME WITH APRIL.
I've LOST MY HEART and I've
LOST THE HEART OF THE PERSON I LOVE THE MOST IN THIS WORLD.

So right now, I'm EMPTY and MY HEART HURTS so bad.

Here's a song I kept hearing at work today:

If you’re not the one then why does MY soul feel empty today?
If you’re not the one then why does MY hand fit YOURS this way?
If you are not mine then why do you listen when I call?
If you are not mine I will NOT have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
WE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH
AND I HOPE YOU ARE THE ONE I SHARE MY LIFE WITH with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
If I’m not made for you then why does MY HEART TELL ME THAT I AM?
Is there ANY WAY that I can STAY IN YOUR ARMS?

If I don’t need you then why am I CRYING on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does YOUR NAME resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance MAIM MY LIFE?
If you’re not for me then why do I DREAM OF YOU AS MY WIFE?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I KNOW that this much is TRUE
WE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH
AND I HOPE YOU ARE THE ONE I SHARE MY LIFE WITH
AND I WISH THAT YOU COULD BE THE ONE I DIE WITH
AND I PRAY IN YOU'RE THE ONE I BUILD MY HOME WITH
I WANT TO LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
If I’m not made for you then why does MY HEART TELL ME THAT I AM?
Is there ANY WAY that I can STAY IN YOUR ARMS?

‘Cause I MISS YOU,
BODY AND SOUL so strong that it TAKES MY BREATH AWAY
And I BREATHE YOU INTO MY HEART and PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH TO STAND TODAY
‘Cause I LOVE YOU, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
KNOW MY HEART IS BY YOUR SIDE


--- If You're Not The One, Daniel Beddingfield (slightly modified)


What I Want, Can't Be Bought (4/25/03)

I went out today, all by myself =(. I was lookin' to buy myself an early Birthday Present. I went to Plaza n walked around for the longest time. Saw some nice phones (Nokia 3650 n a cool Ericson) and some good videogames. But didn't REALLY want them. Then went to Best Buy n looked around for a while but didn't find anything. Truthfully, I found a lotta things I would like to have, but nothing I needed. All I could think about was the one thing I don't have right now and that I TRULY NEED in LIFE. This is all I want for my Birthday... But I won't say what it is. The only person who can give it to me knows and that's all that matters.

I'm gonna try to be a better person now. Why you ask? Cuzz it would make life better for the people I love. Life right now isn't too good, so the best thing to do is fix things up. RIGHT? I'm gonna DO MY BEST to make things right. Hopefully it all works out.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want ANYTHING for my Birthday other then My Special Gift. That's all I want. PLEASE?



Buy Me This, Please? (4/24/03)

This what I'll probably ask my Mommy to buy me for my B-Day:

Buy Me This!

Yup, the Nokia 3650! That phone is too tight! It has a big, color screen and best of all has a camera built in. I first saw it on American Idol cuzz the "idols" each had one and they were playing with them. Hopefully I can talk my Mommy into buying it for me. I'd ask April to buy it for me, but she doesn't have Baller Status cuzz $150 is a whole lotta money. Besides, she's already buying me Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. =)

Today was a good day. I didn't really plan on seeing April today cuzz we have different schedules and I work on Thursdays. Luckily I came to school when she was leaving school so I got to Hug n Kiss Her. =D. Yup, and that just totally MADE my day. Really! HAHAHA. I dun care if that's corny! It's da TRUTH.

Work was work. Counted Inventory stuff. Ate Pasta during my break n talked to April but I let her go watch Friends cuzz she likes that show. So I called Markie to say Hi n to make sure he asked for May 9 off to hang out for my B-Day. That sell-out said he couldn't get the day off, but that's cool cuzz he can still go out after 7pm that night. He's going to DisneyLand over the weekend wid Sarmie and he's PAYING! Haha... Me n April go to DisneyLand for FREE! But Mark's a big baller anyway... I hope they have fun n ride California Screamin', cuzz that's the best ride there. Oops, back to work issues. Mark O. might get promoted too. He's most likely going to Dirty Mission Valley cuzz he belongs there wid all the other dirtys. Hahaha. Besides, the Fashion Managers all LOVE me n would never let me go. Hopefully I get promoted soon, I need to get PAID so i can pay off my debts. 3 G's in the hole is NO FUN at all. Especally if you don't make much more than minimum wage even though your a Supervisor. Oh yeah, I was expecting a fat check today cuzz us Supes earned a $100 bonus for last quarter (Q4, Fiscal Year 2003). The quarter ended like 3 weeks ago, so we should have gotten our bonus. But when I looked over my pay stub, NO BONUS! I forgot to ask Mark O. if he got the Bonus this check n maybe I just was forgotten. Or maybe Jen forgot to tell AMC to pay our broke asses our bonus. I dunno, I'ma have to straigten this out on Saturday cuzz it's April n Vince day tomorrow.

Wow! 2 weeks left this semester n one week till Lizzie McGuire's movie. Where does the time go? This semester went by quick. Still need to do 2 more CS assignments. And I have one more Calculus test till Finals. I need a GOOD grade on the next test and the FINAL to pass. I guess that's what you get when you don't even go to the first exam of the semester. What a dumb ass! I'm trying to make it all better, though. Next Friday is my next Calc test so wish me luck. Next Thursday is a Hard Count at work, so getting any REAL studying that night is pretty much out of the question. So I'm gonna need some good fortune or somehow find the concentration to read my notes n do my homework (I'm 2 weeks behind). I can do it.



LIZZIE! (4/22/03)

Today April bought me the Lizzie McGuire Movie Soundtrack. It's cool. I may only like 4 or 5 of the songs, but they're good. Lizzie is a good singer. REALLY. And NO, i don't like her THAT way. Hahaha. I like her show. That's why Me n April are gonna watch her new movie the day it comes out! Even if I have to pay. Here's the poster:

Lizzie!

Cool poster huh? I'm gonna try to get the poster from work too. Sorry, I'm just a big fan. I'm not CRAZY about Lizzie. You all know I LOVE MY APRIL. Yes I do. Sorry if that was corny April, but it's true!

We watched Better Luck Tomorrow today. It was okay. I don't like the ending. The ending was WHOA. But not a good WHOA. A bad WHOA. I like watching happy endings. The ending to BLT was straight PSYCHOTIC. Really! Sorry, I hope I didn't give out too much info. I wouldn't watch it again, it's just not my type of movie.

Tomorrow is April's Mama's Birthday. April accidentally called her Mom "Grandma" when she was telling me what she bought her for her birthday. I was like dang! Just cuzz she's getting older don't mean she stops being your Mom and somehow becomes your "Grandma!" =P Shame on you, April!

Oh yeah, I also bought the Red Hot Chili Peppers' most recent cd. It's a good cd. Good cd to just chill with and smoke a fatty to. Oops, I mean take a nap to. Yeah, take a nap to.

Oh yeah, I might get promoted really soon to the position of "Operations Coordinator" (Assistant Manager) at work. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with my background check and the managers don't change their minds about me. Then me n Romeo will both be Asst. Mgrs. of our work places. And I'll be able to give out free movies to whoever I like. =) Oh yeah! More friends for me!

Even thought Lent is over and all, I still don't eat meat. I dunno what happend to me! I just don't crave the stuff anymore. REALLY. I bought April In N Out today and I ate a quesidilla n mexican pizza (no meat) from Taco Bell. Somehow, my mind started to think of meat as being wrong to eat and doesn't want me to have anymore. Crazy huh? But don't call me a Vegetarian! I eat fish n cookies n ice cream n candy n some vegetables. So yeah, I dunno if i'll ever eat that meat stuff ever again. I hear a no meat diet will help you live longer. But i think all the cookies n candy i eat will probably cancel that out. Oh well.

Okay dokay. That's it.



ALL BETTER/Happy Birthday Princess!(4/7-4/8)

Is it possible for one of the worst days of your life to end up being one of the best ones ever? YUP, it's possible! Today started off bad, real bad. I did pay attention in Math though, cuzz I promised to do better in that class and to do my homework the night it's assigned. Yes I did! And guess what i did tonight? I did my Math homework! Yes I did! I didn't pay much attention in Statistics but I somehow have an A- in that class. Crazy, huh? I wrote my Princess a letter during that class cuzz I LOVE HER and NEED HER. After that class, I texted (real word?) Romeo and asked him if he could hang out cuzz I probably wouldn't have made it through the day without him. HONEST. I hung out with Sophie so she woudn't be alone for an hour, then headed to Romeo's house so I wouldn't have to be ALONE.

When I got to Romeo's house, I was greeted with the customary "Hey, come in! Do you want something to drink?" I asked for my regular Iced Tea but he was fresh out so I took some Vanilla Coke instead. Good Stuff. Then He drove us to Fashion and him being the big balla' manager he is, bought me lunch. We had some SERIOUS talk. Learned some things. Caught up on the haps in our lives. After that, we went to Best Buy. Then to Parkway. At Hallmark (Cynthia's Hallmark to be exact) I spent $10 and some change on a card, a gift bag, and some wrapping paper. All for my Princess cuzz it's her special day tomorrow and Special days call for Special things (usually means expensive =P). She's worth it. While I did my "shopping", Romeo was there keeping me company and I appreciate it very much. After Parkway, Romeo once again brought out his bling Navy Fed card and bought us drinks at Starbucks. We had some more good talk and then went to Circuit City. Circuit City was really the place to be, so we left and went back to Romeo's house.

At Romeo's house, we watched Austin Powers 3. That movie isn't as funny as the other ones, but it's still good. The movie got my mind of my worries for a bit. I had some more Vanilla Coke. After the movie I said I was gonna go home. But good ol' Romeo was like "Are you sure? You gonna be alrite?" I thought about it and was like "okay, i'll stay!" I didn't really want to go but I didn't want to be a nusiance. I'm glad I stayed. We played that DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball. That game is FUN and SO REAL! I met Romeo's buddy Laura cuzz she came over to play games. She's cool! She's one of those people who isn't afraid to talk to a friend (Me) of her friend's (Romeo). Does that make sense? But yeah, she's cool and she's a girl that plays Video Games! Tight! I also met Randy. He's cool too. After that, my Princess called me and we planned on hanging out so I said my byes to Romeo's buddys and a Thank You to Romeo. April picked me up at home and off we were.

From then on, my day took a turn for the better. Well not just my day, but my whole life! =)

Oh yeah, I just want to squeeze in a few shout-outs to my Buddie Romey Rome and to my Best Girl April (Only girl of course). Romeo, thanks for today. Thanks for your support and not letting me feel alone. Don't worry 'bout a thing. First and Foremost, you'll always be my Buddie and one of my Best Friends.
April, Happy Birthday to you! I LOVE YOU. I'm gonna do my best to be good for you cuzz you're my FAVORITE PERSON in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!

And I'm done typing now. Nite!



Still Alive... (3/6/03)

Hey! How's it going? April told me to write/type something here cuzz I haven't done so in a while, so I will. Since last entry, all I've been doing is school/work/work/hang out w/April. Yup, I'm pretty sure I put more hours in at work than going to school and doing homework. That's kinda sad, huh?

Hung out with DC the day after Valentine's day. It was cool cuzz it was nice seeing my JV all grown-up and other buddies. V Day was cool too. April bought me a kitty kat and his name is kitty kat (took me a while to come up with that name). Me n April ate at the Cheesecake Factory and I took her to Build-a-Bear and we built a bear. His name is Bearemy (sp?).

I haven't hung out w/Mark or Cyrus lately. We did go to the junkyard one day but all the cars there were JANKY and it we payed $2 just to see all those nasty cars. Other than that time we haven't hung out much lately cuzz I'm not in the "BEST FRIENDS CLUB." Ohhh, sooooo cool! Dang it! If only I went to Southwestern like Mark n Cyrus! Now i feel alone and cold and emotional. Hehe... just kidding! I don't mind. That whole "BEST FRIENDS CLUB" thing is a joke. Right, Mark? RIGHT? =P Really though, I wish I could hang out more with my friends but we all got our own busy lives. Oh yeah, I wonder about Romeo too. I always call him to hang out and tell him to call me whenever he's not busy, so we could hang out. But I never hear from him. I dunno man. Oh well, it's his B-Day soon, I'm sure I'll see him around that time. Rosalie is another story that makes me sad. She talks to me online like we're buddies and all, but then I ask her to hang out and she says no... Why can't buddies hang out (if we really are buddies)? Oh well, you can't force your BUDDIES to hang out with you.

Me n April have been A-OK! We don't see each other everyday. On Mondays and Wednesdays, we only see each other in the morning for like 5 mins. Sometimes we hang out on Wednesdays, after school. On Tuesdays we usually watch a movie. On Thursdays, we don't see each other cuzz our school schedules are different and I have work, so no time to hang out. Friday is our other definite hang out day, but we don't stay out too long cuzz that's a work day. Even though we don't see each other much, we still LOVE each other very much and talk on the phone each-and-every day. I really believe she could actually be that "SPECIAL SOMEONE for me. HAHAHA =P. And I mean that in a Corny/Special way. Yes I DO!

Today I visited Maria's webpage and I like it a lot. It's cool and has links to quizzes. I took a few but didn't like the results. I did like my Care Bear quiz result though. So I'll share it with you:

See what Care Bear you are.

Good Nite!



Hey!

Today was a chill day. Didn't really do much. After class (around 10am), I went home to pick up my Wallet n Phone cuzz I forgot them in the morning. It's a big NO-NO to drive without your license. Then I went to Wal-Mart and then to my bank to get Andrew his $25 I owe him. When I got to the bank, the ATM machine was broken! So I went inside and it was crackin'! So I said forget that and went to Ralphs. At Ralphs, I used the Wells Fargo ATM and got money. I don't like using the ATM there cuzz it charges me $1.50 and my bank (NIFCU) charges me another dollar for using another bank's ATM. Oh well. I bought groceries for the house with my very own money and some Pizza to eat for lunch. It was good, me n my Pops finished it up. I bought an extra Pizza for my other bros to eat when they got home from school. I look out for my bros...

After eating, I watched Legally Blonde. It's a funny movie. I like it a lot. I like Bruiser Woods (Reese Witherspoon's doggie), he's funny. My dad watched a lot of it with me too... Or actually he was sitting next to me talking to me while I was trying to watch the movie. He was telling me to concentrate in school (He always does this cuzz he notices that I NEVER do homework) cuzz life is hard if you join the military and don't have a college education. I listened and I understand it all. I'm gonna finish college! Because my Mama wants me to, April won't marry me if i don't, and cuzz I need an education to get my career that'll pay me a lot so I can buy my Family whatever they want. After the movie, me and Andrew started a CS (CounterStrike) Session. Too bad Roger was home, cuzz he took the comp from Andrew. So for the next two hours, Andrew ran from my room to Roger's, watching us play CS together. It was fun! We're getting better, but there's still those junkies you can NEVER beat.

Oh, and today I got a book from Amazon.com. It's a book on Turbo Charging cars. It's full of good stuff. Everything you could even wanna know about Turbos is in there. I like Turbos. I'm gonna have one some day! I promise! Whether it be in my Focus or maybe the Toyota Truck or maybe the Porsche. My dad would let me have either one if I really wanted. But I still LOVE my Focus! So yeah, that's one of my goals in life. To have a turbo'ed car with a LOUD blow-off valve that goes PSSSSHHHHHH! That's the coolest sound ever!

Oh yeah, I did my Statistics homework today cuzz the teacher is gonna collect it on Friday! Yup, I did homework! It was easy. But I still have 2 1/2 weeks of Calculus homework to catch up on. I'm gonna start tomorrow. Okay, time to sleep, I promised April I'd be in bed by 12:30! Peace!



Hi! 2/04/03

Worked Friday and Saturday. I worked from 6pm(Friday) till 130am(Saturday), then had to start work again at 10am (Saturday) till 6pm! Let's see... It takes me about 25 mins to get home cuzz I drive slow when I'm tired. So i got home at around 2am. Ate a little something and then went to bed at around 2:30. Then 6 1/2 hours later I had to wake up (9am), get ready for work, and leave. And no time to eat! That's the kinda schedule I hate cuzz it's tiring! Oh well, I had the whole Saturday night off to play games.

I was off on Sunday so my Mama took my bros and me out to eat at this Chinese restaurant. It has the word "Emrald" in it's name and it was on Convoy. It was really crowded cuzz it was Chinese New Year and so it was crackin' wid Chinese people celebrating. Took a while to get a table but the food was pretty good. It was fun. Even Roger went! He never hangs out wid the family. He usually finds a way to flake out. It was cool that he was there.

Monday, it was back to work, right after school, from 12pm-530pm. Not too bad. It was cool, it wasn't busy much till around 4ish. Hung out most of the day talking with my work buddies. But when 4pm came around, it was like a weekend cuzz it was crackin. I guess all the people who held off on watching the good movies that came out on Friday or didn't have time to watch them, come on Monday after work or school to watch the new movies. It was only me n two other workers and the managers who were there didn't help me much. We almost ran outta Popcorn! And yes, running outta Popcorn (at the movies) is a BIG DEAL =). After I got off, I hung out and read the Sport Compact Car I bought cuzz I like to wait for the traffic to clear a bit before getting on the road. It's just safer that way, especially if you're tired. I slept late yesterday (again) and didn't feel like going to Math today. It was Review Day. Besides, what can I review if I've never done any of the work, yet? I'd just be sitting there clueless. Man, I have a lot to catch up on, in that class cuzz there's a test next Friday! I hope I can pull something off.

Today was fun. April went to school with me cuzz it would save time and not make us late for the movie we were gonna watch after I was done with class. When I picked her up, she had a PRESENT for me! It was Legally Blonde (dvd). I said thank you and that I loved her. I was kinda in a rush to get to school, so I didn't really get to make much more of a big deal about it, but I really do appreciate the dvd. At school, I bought a can of Vanilla Coke and took two sips, then I dropped the can in the restroom! I was so thirsty and I picked it up and I was about to drink more (I know ewww! but I was thirsty) but it was all gone! I was sad! Class was okay, we learned more stuff about Hexadecimal/Binary number jargon. Then after class me n April went to the movies!

Final Destination 2 was okay. The first one was better! The first one of any movie is almost always better! I dunno why, but it's true. Unless you're talking about Austin Powers 1 and 2. They're both just as good. Not AP3 though, that movie's janky. Oh, those Rush Hour movies are both good too! Any way, FD2 was really gorey. Much more than the first. You see blood and guts everywhere when people die. I think the movie would be worth the money if you go see it. It's not a waste of time at all, but you won't wanna see it again. After the movie, Me n April ate at Denny's. We ate a whole bunch, so I didn't eat dinner at home today. It was yummy. Tomorrow, I might do some homework cuzz April's mom is coming home tomorrow from a cruise, so we're not gonna hang out. Just maybe though! =)



Hey! 1/31/03

Yesterday I found out I can't be in the Chem Lab I wanted so I guess I'm not taking that class this semester. So now I'm down to 10 units! Oh well, I guess this will gimme more time to concentrate on my other classes and gimme more insurance on passing them (I hope). Or maybe it'll give me more time for video games, sleep, TV, and other good things...? But the downside is that it's setting me back even more in me graduating any time, this century. What can I do?

Work was cool today... Mad chillin' cuzz it was Inventory day. Took me a 1-hour (paid of course) break which included a stop at Rubios, a talk with my Princess, and I even did some homework. Gotta love Inventory! I even Ushered today cuzz it's my favorite thing to do at work. It keeps me in shape. I saw Stephanie today cuzz she was visiting. She says people don't like her at Mission cuzz they just don't. That's not good at all! She got promoted and she doesn't enjoy it. I hope it gets better for her.

I also noticed today that school is much better if you aren't sleepy-sleepy. You can concentrate and learn and follow along. Too bad I don't have many days when I'm not sleepy at school. I'd probably learn a lot more. I also noticed that class goes by a lot quicker when you listen to what the teacher is talking about and if you don't look at the clock every 30 seconds. Today I learned about adding and subtracting Unsigned/Signed Binary Numbers using Two's Complement. Pretty interesting stuff. =)

Uhhh... That's about it for today. I think. Today's the first night I actually opened up one of my school books and read. I guess it's cuzz my Stat 250 teacher has quizzes every Friday and you need to read to pass. That's cool cuzz it keeps me reading and up to speed with the class. Oh! If you need some cool songs to listen to, d/l Fabolous:This is My Party, 50 Cent:In da Club, Field Mob:Sick of Being Lonely (remix), Dirty:That's Dirty!, and Eminem:Superman. Good stuff to listen to.



Hi!

Long time since last entry... School's in again. Vacation was okay. I'm taking 15 units for the first time. I hope I don't fail anything. Work is alrite. I almost left but I decided to stay. I got mad bills now. Body Kit+Paint+Christmas shopping all paid for by my good friends at Visa. I owe them so much. =) Oh well, you only live once, right? Hehe.. Who am I kidding, this debt stuff makes life hard. I shouda listned to April. =\

Here's some pics of my car (for those interested):




I took those back in November and it was a cloudy day. I'll probably take better ones when I have time. Not much more planned for the car till I'm outta debt (April made me promise her). I'm sure it's for my own good.

School is kinda cool. I learn new stuff and the teachers are very understandable. On Monday/Wednesday I have class from 8am till 2pm straight! No break at all! On Tuesday I have class at 8am and 12:30pm. On Thursday I just have Computer Science at 12:30. Fridays, I have a big break from 9am till 1pm. Friday is my tired day cuzz I work Thursday nites and don't get home till after midnite. Pretty wild, but that's life until the semester ends. It'll be my birtday when the semester ends so that's cool. Nice way to end the semester.

Me n April have been pretty good since my last entry (9.29.02). We've had our fights but, I LOVE HER n she LOVES ME. That's all that matters. We haven't hung out much since school started, but I'm sure once we're all settled in with school and our schedules, we'll find time to hang out. Christmas vacation was cool cuzz me n April watched some good movies cuzz there were some good movies out. That's all we ever do! Now adays though, there aren't any good movies, so we watch the "okay/sucky" ones. Oh well, as long as we're spending time together, I'm having a good time. Well, except for the one time we watched Chicago. I DON'T LIKE THAT MOVIE. It's boring and it's a musical! Not my type at all. And I got a headache from sitting in the 2nd row of the theatre. Oh well, April picked it and she like it. =)

Christmas went by TOO QUICK. All I remember was Thanksgiving n the day after cuzz my Mommy came back from the Philippines that day. Every other day after that is kinda a blur to me until Christmas Eve. All I remember is work and lots o' movies. Didn't really get into the Christmas Spirit =(. Maybe next year. No! Definitely next year! That's a PROMISE! And i'ma put up the Christmas Tree too! I felt bad cuzz I didn't do it this year, even though my Mommy hounded me to, cuzz it's what I usually do. She had to put it up by herself. So yeah, Next Christmas will be by far the BEST! I hope =)

Hmmm... My buddies. I haven't spent much time with them lately. I hung out with them a few times over break but I wish I could hang out everyday. Mark got a new hampster. He also bought some "Hyper White" Bulbs for his car that were more like "Plain ol' Yellow". Cyrus got a Cat-back for his 200sx (which I just about put on myself) =). It's cool, he's my buddy and it was fun. Romeo is still Romeo the workaholic. He hung out a few times n got me the hook up on a gift certificate at his work and a Quicksilver Shirt. Rosalie finally hung out with us! It was on Christmas n it was fun. She's still the same but Mark swears her butt got bigger. Haha. Rosalie hasn't spent time with us since like a year ago! She thought we were evil for a while. REALLY!

Well, gotta go now. I gotta be up for school in like 4 1/2 hours. Did I give you enough to read till my next entry (whenever that is)? Bye.
