Yay it's May!
Reboot!
My new speakers are hooked up and doing great. All the music sounds a little different now. I imagine it's because the bass is now coming from my feet and not from in front of me. Every sound has this slight echo now that the bass is coming from down below. Neat. I like these speakers.
It's definitely a different experience whenever a rap song comes on as opposed to any rock song. The bass is crazy on some of these tracks
This is pretty cool
sweet! Did I tell you it's May? Well, guess what, It's May! Out for May 1st!

Too Much Information sirs
I have access to too much information. oh wait, I already wrote this post.
I just bought a new pair of speakers. or Should I say TRIPLET of speakers. I'm gonna have a subwoofer connected to my box for the first time since I was in college and I was stealing youtea's. I bought the Creative I-Trigue 3300 speaker set for $30 after rebate. Yep. I bought myself a present. Why? Not sure. I just really wanted new kick ass speakers, and these were on sale.
I haven't opened the box yet. I'm gonna be smart and start filling out these fucking rebates first.
Wait, that's not smart. That's retarded. Test that shit sir! Taste the milk before you buy the cow?
Some how the Golden State Warriors are up 3-1 against the defending Western Conference Champions Dallas Mavericks. I don't know what to say. I like the Mavs. I can't believe they're down 3-1. What else can I say?
and so it seems. only in dreams...
out for the 30th. Let's here it for May!

It's almost May!
Music Post : Tracks
The Kooks - Match Box :: I like the Kooks. Maybe it's because I can't understand a word the singer is saying. An amazing part of this song is that in the chorus, the Kooks name drop themselves. This is on their debut album!
All of us, we're going out tonight
We're gonna walk all over your ????
The Kooks are out, in the streets
Oh, we're gonna steal your ?????
The Kooks - You Don't Love Me :: I think it's about heartbreak. Doesn't matter what it's about, it flows beautifully.
Oh you don't love me the way that I love you
Cause if you did girl you would not do those things you do
You kill my heart just to see if I will rise
Above your anger and above your lies
We Are Scientists - This Means War :: I love the bass in this song.
Well, I'm not stupid despite how it seems
You can't do this if I'm not listening
We Are Scientists - The Creeper :: I can only imagine what this song is about (stalker?) , but I love the screaming chorus. THE CREEPERRRRRR
I might feel better
If you were gone
I'm all creeped out by you
the creeper
We Are Scientists - Coming Clean :: using the word woah multiple times? WINNER
It's so woah woah woah oh
We Are Scientists - That One Pop Gem :: Apparently I really like We Are Scientists. Go Figure
I don't wanna take another bow
I don't wanna stay and hang around
And I don't wanna tell anyone else about my life
I don't wanna be the one who choked
Or be the butt of all your little jokes
I don't want you to leave me here alone, all right
Ok, I'm going to quit going all We Are Scientists crazy here and just list a couple more tracks in this paragraph. Easy Kill, Making a Go, The Method, Selective Memory and What Gives? We Are Scientists rule. Go Listen
Voxtrot - Firecracker :: ANGER!
I will kick the walls, smash the lights, ricochets burning up
Firecracker
Firecracker
I will not complain at all
I will never be tricked by you.
No No No
I will never be tricked by you.
Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent :: the alliteration on the title is great (did I use that word right? who cares) The sort of 1/2 rapping going on in this song is great.
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Gym Class Heroes - New Friend Request :: this is a funny love song about myspace. I did gym class heroes. They have a nice rap/rock vibe.
Just click approve, come on girl
Baby I'm one of a kind and I ain't got time to lose
Just click approve, you're killing me here
Show me some kind of sign and let me know it's time to make my move
Ozma - Heartache vs Heartbreak :: Beautiful! A beautiful song about losing love with sweeping male/female vocals and a killer chorus
and we almost believed it was love
yeah, we nearly perceived it as love
you know i would have sworn it was love
Yeah!
If you're rocking out with me, you're rocking out against me!
Out for Sunday!

And another day passes
I don't think I've ever been this frustrated with myself ever. I don't know what I can do about this. It doesn't seem like there's anything I can do but wait it out. I've got to stop picking the scab.
I'm so amazingly boring sometimes that I think I'm hurting myself. awesome. I don't like it when I feel like I'm boring the other person in a conversation.
I wish I knew what I was doing more often.
I want to do zopa.com or prosper.com, but I hate that it's probably going to complicate my taxes if I do. There's a 3rd site that I can't remember or find on google. Instead of lending money to random strangers in america, you lend money to random strangers in foreign companies. I wish I could find it again. That is even cooler.
Out for Friday. See you later alligator.

Update to the post below. Interpol's new album will be called "Our Love To Admire." Awesome. Best track title? track #2 : "No I in Threesome"
Aw crap! No new south park today! That saddens me deeply. But Lost is on tonight. And Lost is awesome. right sir! The ABC affiliate out here lost audio for about 15 minutes! Closed Captioning does not do it. bastards.
May 10th + May 24th are going to be 2 dentist visits that are going to be poop. But the end result will be worth it! I hope!
nbadraft.net just did the worst thing they could possibly do to me. They have Joakim Noah going #10 to the Kings on their draft board. why? Why torture the Kings?
Lates! See you thursday my friends!

oops. I believe I just caused Property Damage. Time to move!
I just hit something at my apartment with my car. It was a fence thing in front of my parking space. My brain melted and I just slowly went in to it and caused a pretty serious dent in the fence. My car is only partially scratched at the bottom, but I lost of a piece of the frame around my license plate.
I guess I should be glad it happened when I was parking and not when I was on the road. Or if I was going straight in to a tree or another parked car. Weak fences FTW!
idiot!
We've got rock this year sirs! ROCK N ROLL!
April 24th : Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
May 15th : Ozma - Pasadena
June 25th : Editors - An End Has a Start
July 7th : Interpol - ???
???? : Jimmy Eat World - ???

What's up!
Song of the moment : Ozma - Heartache vs Heartbreak
On May 15th Ozma releases their new album, Pasadena. The crazy part about the internet is that I've already heard almost every song on the album. But I'm still eagerly anticipating listening to the whole thing. There's one song "Incarnation Blues" with this weird part in it where the lyrics are sort of melted together.
Time

I don't get it man. Maybe choose different words?
I just accidently closed this tab in Firefox. But firefox was able to restore it without losing this post! Not that this post was any good.

What the hell am I doing?
April's almost over. I am ready for May.
Moving to a month really doesn't mean anything. It's not like everything just resets. Nothing starts over. I'll still probably be in this same slump.
Puzzle Quest for DS is probably the first game on the DS that has disappointed me in terms of graphics. I played the PC demo before I played it on DS and the graphics on the PC are pretty sweet. Particle effects and glowing text and all of that. On the DS everything seems so plain. Like they didn't even try to make good renders of the gems. The game is still fun, but it's just bejeweled! I don't play it and think WOW LOOK AT ALL THE FUN I AM HAVING, but it definitely burns time. I think the problem I'm having is that every match feels exactly the same. I don't feel like I'm fighting different things, or that the leveling up is really doing anything.
Out for the 22nd. I imagine I'm going to be posting more later. peace.

Yeah, pretty much hate myself. scab bleeding. yada yada yada
The Sacramento Kings fired Eric Musselman today. I don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, the Kings sucked this year. On the other hand, the Kings were probably going to suck this year. I don't think Musselman is the scapegoat. I think the direction that Petrie wants the Kings to go in was not the direction Musselman was taking them in. Musselman seems like a real stats guy. Which, to me, screams Assistant Coach. He's the guy who can run the numbers, figure stuff out and tell the Head Coach what is up.
The Sacramento Kings also got screwed out of the tie breaker for the lottery. Instead of getting a pick as high as #8, they get #10. Please, please, don't draft Joakim Noah! Please! I trust you Petrie!
Mother fucking at&t jumped my internet charge to $30 after my 1 year contract for $12.99 was up. wtf mates!

The scab is bleeding again.
That's a metaphor. I don't have a literal scab that I'm picking at
Or maybe I do. My shoulders are always scratched up. I've always got little scars and dents on my shoulders that I pick at all the time. I'm not sure where they come from, but they exist. I imagine either my skin is falling apart, or I'm scratching myself when I sleep.
I SCRATCH MYSELF TO KNOW I'M ALIVE
I need some new speakers. These things are crazy distorted.
If you did not watch tonight's episode of survivor, you completely missed out. Because of Dreamz crazy mouth, the 2 alliances tried to psych each other out.
one side: We're going to vote out A. No wait, we should target B in case A has the idol. Wait, what if it's a trap? Let's go for C. ok!
other side: dude, they are going to vote for A! They don't know we have the idol. We are so going to pull the idol on them! And they are going to be screwed when they vote for A. lollerskates.
Out for Thursday! Peace !

Did you see that? That was me slowing down.
So what did I do today? I did what I will probably regret. I started to pick back at that wound. It was scabbing up. And now I'm going to make it bleed again. I BLEED TO KNOW I'M ALIVE.
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare is a pretty good album. Weirdest part? That extra "u" in the album title, and the extra "u" in the song "Do Me a Favour." That U bugs the heck out of me. It looks wrong! America rules! Drop the U!
April 19th. Let's do this right Thursday! Out!

Geocities keeps crashing on me. I can't go to oocities.com unless I'm already logged in to yahoo. wacky!
I spilt water on my DS yesterday. It's still good! Or at least was still good last night. Who knows what has happened to it in a day?
Yeah, today sucked
I just need time to get adjusted to the suckage and start thinking about other things that don't suck. Unfortunately, everything sucks. Do you agree? Yes/No
Big guy runs Boston Marathon: cool
I knew I couldn't quit at that point but I can't even describe to you in words what I felt at the moment. It was a sense of helplessness.
Helplessness. That's the word I'm looking for.
Yesterday, a student at Virginia Tech killed 33 seeming random people. The motive isn't known yet, but the guy was a loner who wrote disturbing plays. I wonder what would cause him to snap in such a way. Actually I don't wonder. I don't want to know.

oh man, there was point today when I thought today had the possibility of tipping entirely towards one direction and becoming the best/worst day ever. Turned out it was nothing at all and completely worthless. I actually think that's a good thing.
oh hey, that dentist thing below. um. It's going to cost more than 1 month's rent of my apartment! fuck! Maybe. I don't know yet. Depends on insurance, and if I go in that direction. Best case scenario it costs 3/4 a months rent! shit!
Good thing I'm a cheapskate and I don't buy anything ever. haha. Apparently I can afford this.
Good Old Album : Girl Talk - Night Ripper : A : This is an amazing mash-up remix dj thingamjig. Completely illegally put together, but damn it's good. You have to like rap though. The beats are amazing, but if you're turned off by rapping, you might not get a chance to appreciate the ripped apart beats.
Out again for April 16th. Peace!

The weekend has passed. And I've yet to post.
Saturday and Sunday weren't bad. I didn't spend a lot of time thinking, which helps.
Tomorrow (actually Monday, today) I'm going to call my dentist to schedule an appointment to get some teeth work done that I've needed for, oh, I don't know, 10 years now? I'm going to be as fake as those wonderful people in hollywood! I waited too long to do it, but I'm finally taking this first step towards hopefully feeling a little more comfortable.
Here's to a great work week ahead! right? right! Think positive! Out for April 16th!

I wonder when this will end. Probably never. Right? Today was bad. Something hit me today and I just felt it. Suckkkkkkkkkk
I gunned it today in my car today while I was pulling out of work. I brought it up to about 60mph in a couple seconds right outside my work. That felt pretty damn good. I slowed down nearly immediately afterwards because there were other cars around then and because that street is full of cops. But fuck that felt good. I need to do it again.
I picked up Silversun Pickups - Carnavas. I've only listened to it once and wasn't very impressed. But it could be a mood thing. I'll keep listening and report in later.
Voxtrot - Kid Gloves Cheer me up cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
God damn that song is weird. Here's more lyrics.You get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
what? I don't get song lyrics. Ever. This song makes no sense to me. I can't even attempt to figure it out.
I bought Beer Battered Fries. Not that good. note to self, purchase other potato product next time.
Out for Friday the 13th.

Dwight, you ignorant slut
Thursday! The Office was brilliant. But I was saddened by the loss of Michelle on survivor today. The twist that caused her demise was pretty great, but a dumb move by dreamz really messed things up. Dreamz! You are one of my favorites! How dare you do something so dumb!
Today was another one of those days. The days are just going to fly by from now on. I think I can survive. There are worse things that could be occurring. I'm only mentally ill, I should be able to get by this.
If only I could write about things like Gilbert Arenas.
The only thing I can do is when I go to the restroom, my daughter likes to play in the bidet. Is that what it’s called, bidet? She likes to play in the little water right there. Or when I’m taking a shower she likes to come in there and play in the water there.
what gilbert? what? You have a bidet???
Friday is tomorrow! Another weekend is soon to begin!

doh! missed an update yesterday.
I was foolish. I felt really tired yesterday and my shoulders were a little sore, so I attempted to go to sleep around 11:30PM. Stupid move. I ended up laying around all frustrated until around 2AM.
Today was a nice day. No distractions. Just me and my code. Lost was pretty awesome. South Park was great (scissors!).
Weezer - Blue Album. Listen to it. now. again.
April 12th. I'm out.

I signed up for a site I've been looking at for a while now. It could be cool. If it is, I'll share it.
Today was no better than than any other day. It wasn't too bad at work. But then I bought a Chicken Tender sandwich at Burger King after work. What is it? I really had no idea, but I bought it anyway because I figured it couldn't be that bad. And it wasn't. It's just chicken tenders with mayonnaise and lettuce in a bun. But now my body feels like it's dizzy and I want to sleep. I blame you sandwich.
Well maybe not the sleep part. I believe staying up until 3-4am is the cause of that. That was bound to hit me eventually. But like I mentioned before, sleeping when you're actually tired is the real way to sleep. Not sort of tired, but I don't want to move anymore tired.
I bought a imitation cheaper Honey Nut Cheerios cereal. I saved about $0.40, which felt really good at the time. Right now? eating it? something is weird. It's sort of, um, crunchy? Real Cheerios don't taste like this! Now I've got a whole box to finish off. save me jeebus.
Out for Monday. Here come's Tuesday. Good day sirs!

Today I finally went out and took a walk around the gigantic lake near my apartment. It took me about 3/4 of an hour to walk around the entire lake and in the process I took a gander at the things floating in the lake.
ducks!
paddle boats!
that's it!
No kayaks. no real boats. no canoes. It was a really weird scene. According to the lake's website, they rent kayaks, but I didn't see any stacked anywhere.
Kayaking is awesome. I have a fond memory of when I went last time. I get the feeling that paddle boats don't give off the same amount of adrenaline.
Although nobody was in the water, the park itself was packed! Tons of picnics, tons of bbq, tons of kids running around having a good time. That's always fun to see.
I also saw the skate park. Which is a bunch of ramps and half pipes dropped on cement. It's pretty crappy, which is probably why it was so empty. I'm thinking of taking up skateboarding again as something to do when I'm bored. But I really don't think I'd want to play in that "park." It's too nasty.
Sunday, April 8th out. again? I guess so.

Punch Drunk Love was just shown on syndication. That is a brilliant movie. Adam Sandler plays a frustrated shy man who ends up finding love and rebelling against those who torment him. I've only watched that movie once before, but it still resonates with me. I can feel for Adam's character Barry. This article talks about the cinematic magic that exists in the movie. I don't know if those little things matter to me, or if they affected my appreciation of the movie. But even without intentionally noticing any of that, the story behind the movie is wonderful. Highly recommended for those who want to feel like you still have a little bit of hope in life.
Song I'm currently digging : Bloc Party - I Still Remember (Sebastian Remix). I just mentioned I Still Remember down below. This version is beat driven and really harsh. And great. This version only focuses on the lyrics "I should've kissed you by the water. You should have asked me for it. I would have been brave" Take a listen.
I just clipped the news and made archive #27. 9 months of my life in html form. yay yay hooray. I intentionally clipped it at March 21st because the posts since then have been downer posts. Let's see if archive #28 will take a swing in the right direction before it's over with.
out. April 8th.

There's something really serene about writing in this little geocities window. There's something about staring at this thing that hasn't changed in the last 10 years that makes me feel good.
So I think am finally starting to get comfortable driving. How so? I took a cell phone call earlier today while driving. That's a recipe for disaster 3 months ago. Now? Not so bad.
Tipping your barber: I've gotten my hair cut at the same place here in Fremont 4 times I believe. I always tip $2-3 on top of the $11 cost, the first 3 times I really was sort of bullshitting the tip and not really caring. But I guess today it was all worth it. I got really nice service from the lady cutting my hair. I can't say she did a bang up job (uh, my hair looks my hair), but it feels good to be treated good.
So today's lesson, make sure everybodyd know how much you appreciate them. Good things happen to good people, right? Let's make sure of it.
Out. April 7th. again.

We are North American. We are North American Scum
Thursday was a weird day. Because I don't go in to any detail at all, there is no way I am going to remember why Thursday was weird years from now. But maybe I can leave a couple of clues. "Same as Tuesday"
But today is actually Friday's post. What happened today? Nothing. I guess. But that still makes me feel just as bad.
One valuable thing I should be learning while working at a start up company is to be aggressive. The best companies are the ones who strike while the iron is hot.
But then again, you don't strike the iron if it's still in flames right? You have to wait for the right time to hit it. Be agressive, but not too agressive! haha. Get it? Go too fast and you will die a fiery death. Go too slow and you will not die, but you won't succeed either.
So timing is everything. if you don't hit it right, would you rather die fast, get it over with and start over, or hit it late and fail over a longer period of time gaining valuable experience before you start over?
How about you get some balls, some experience, and figure out which is better for each situation instead of generalizing! April 6th/7th OUT!

I opened up this window on Thursday actually, but I didn't start writing anything until right now (12:55AM Friday). Today wasn't actually that bad of a day. Ok maybe it was. It was actually just as bad as any of the other days of the week. The difference being that I've had a couple days to let it all sink in.
I'm also thinking I'm going to make it a habit to start staying up really late again. I think laying in bed for an hour and then falling asleep is a lot more frustrating then just staying up for an extra couple hours and passing out. I was up until about 3:30 last night, but somehow woke up as refreshed as I've ever been.
Tonight's episode of the Office s3x09 was awesome. Do you know who is a real hero is? Hiro. From Heroes. That's a hero. Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Are you wearing lady clothes? Make it happen cap'n. I am making it happen, sergeant. You give me a good raise, or no more sex.
April 5th/6th outtttt! To the weekend sirs!

Maybe I'll just post everyday for the rest of this month. That would be interesting.
So I have access to a lot of information that I really shouldn't be abusing. And I don't. But man, it is so tempting to use my powers to do wrong. I could be a super villain.
Or maybe I already am.
It's pretty awesome that I could be a super villain in a time when there isn't a super hero that could stop me. I could cause much pain in other's lives. But I would have to be a secret super villain. Things would start going horribly wrong all over the place, but nobody would know that I was the mastermind behind everything. Until I snap and want to claim credit for the destruction. Then the press would ask for a motive. And I'd say : boredom/mental illness.
I can't think straight. I need months to pass. When I wake up from this daze, things should be awesome. Or I'll fall deeper and deeper in to the abyss.
If it wasn't for firefox's spellcheck, I would have spelled villain as villian. firefox, you are awesome.
fuckin a! April 4th out!

Keep marking those days sir!
I'm really enjoying Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem. The entire album is a ton of really hot beats (minus new york I love you which is still good in it's moody way). The track you should listen to is Someone Great. I have no idea what the lyrics mean (see previous post), but I don't care.
when someone great is gone. when someone great is gone.
Arctic Monkeys album in a couple weeks! hells yes.

How you gonna call out all these?
I think I've made it a habit to post here when I have a bad day. Part of that habit is to post and not go in to any detail. That's not going to stop anytime soon.
I tend to listen to music and never pick up what the lyrics are about until I decide to look them up. Today's pick, Bloc Party - I Still Remember. It took a while to put 2 and 2 together. The lead singer is rumored to be gay. The chorus says "I kept your tie." "We left our trousers by the canal" Hmmm. Have you figured it out yet? The song is about the war in Iraq!
Would you feel weirded out if you were the backup vocalist in that band but you didn't swing that way?
I don't think I've ever been as distracted as I have been in the last few months. It's been hard to concentrate on projects. I zone out all the time. I'll start thinking about other things in the middle of conversations. I don't know how I recover from those mishaps. weeeeeeeeeee
todd time. damn you Todd! How dare you!
