I am a Friday gas bubble...

Man, people need to learn how to freakin spell around here. Intersection is spelled "interception," cross hairs is spelled, "cross-heirs...goodness... I mean, I know a person's spelling ability, or lack thereof has no implication really on a person's personality(unless they are just too lazy to check), but dude, it's pretty big in a professional setting...at least have someone check it for you...

Vintage? Already?
I recently bought another new pair of shoes...the first airmax runners that had the air bubble that goes all the way around the heel of the shoe...in brown. They are pretty dope. Anyway, I was talking to cic earlier today and I was telling her they were a re-release of the originals, which came out like 11 years ago....DUDE, ELEVEN years! Good lord, I have a pair of shoes that the released 11 years ago and they were brand new...I am actually sporting vintage clothes, clothes that were originally new...how sad....I guess that's how old people must've felt about overall's or something....

Gasseousness
Freakin Gas is getting expensive man. I just filled my tank yesterday on gas marked at $2.17...for regular. And I was listening on the news and they said the average was 2:13 so far and that it was partly due to the switching to summer grade fuel, and california fuel has more non-pollutant chemicals that the whole world doesn't currently use, so it's more expensive to provide this "boutique" type mix. I knew about CA having a different grade fuel because of the fact that CA has the strictest Environmental standards in the US, but I didn't know there was a winter and summer grade...my my, how we learn new things all the time... I'm straying from my point...GAS is freakin expensive man! Time for me to go claim my bike back from Chris' apt, he he he.

I've read this e-mail about not buying gas from Mobil and Exxon, which are the two largest gas "dealerships?" in the nation, thereby forcing them to lower their prices to draw customers, thereby forcing a price war. I wish it were true, ...but it's just another one of those e-mail hoaxes... Damn...

STILL?!?!
Man, can you believe it's been 5 months since the grocery stand-off began? That's freakin crazy. I can't believe those people have been not working and living off like union fees all this time...and that's just how freakin frustrating is, to take THIS long to almost come to an agreement. And I say ALMOST because there is a deal being worked out, projected to have the workers back in their stores by Monday, but it still has to go to a vote by the union. Come on people! Let's work this out already, it's been too damn long.

Check it out I got one of these today...I'm so excited. Why do tools have to be so cool. Now I'ma want to do more crafts and home improvement things. Man oh man... I'm gonna need to get a tool shed soon...sweet!

Remember that coworker I was venting about the other day? Well we just talked again and I got kinda saddened by her money and success is happiness perspective. Well, we were complaining how we were supposed to be here til late and we both said that we couldn't really come in tomorrow cuz we both had weddings to go to. And then she goes, yeah, it's my wedding...and after a little bit, she said just kidding. So I tell her, I knew you were kidding that it wasn't your wedding and she asked why. I told her I would've figured she'd be more excited. And then she goes on to say, if it was a big wedding, with lots of friends and family, I'd be excited. But if it's small, then I wouldn't be. I was just shocked by that. Not excited? But it would be your WEDDING. I held in my reaction and luckily she had to get up to do something... Man, that made me sad.

Damn, I can't believe I'm still at work, and they're expecting we'll be here til 9PM tonight. That just screwed some stuff I had planned already, hopefully they don't get too mad at me. Sucks when work stuff has to take precedence over other stuff.

And to dust thou shalt return
It's Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season, and I think I accidentally rubbed the ashes off my forehead. It's kinda cool that they're on my head cuz people always notice it and after they say something along the lines of, "Hey, there's something on your forehead," they can learn a little more of what I'm about, and what my Faith is about. I've gotten into some interesting converstations today...kinda cool. I guess it would be a good way to evangelize if someone was curious...all in His plan...

People who aren't team players are annoying. (Man, work people seem to have been annoying me a lot lately.) But anyway, here's the situation, one of the people in our department was asked to help work on this one project. I used to help on that one, but they have me doing some other job now. So the two new guys AND this person were asked to help out. So this person says to me, "Isn't this YOUR project?" Asking why I didn't have to help out...I replied no and that I was workin on something else. And then this person goes on to say, "I don't understand why I have to help out on this project when it's not even mine." HELLO!!!! Freakin A man, you have to help out because we're a TEAM! We totally helped out when the project this person was workin on needed help, and now they don't wanna return the favor. I don't understand how people can be so selfish sometimes... Freakin punk biyatch man, this person is about to ask my supervisor if I can help. She's not even DOING ANYTHING!!! Damn seniority...I hope he holds her to it though. Hell yeah, he didn't make ME do it. I'm still mad though...

The rain still hasn't come yet and it's 5 o'clock already...hmmm...

I am a chubby day...

40 days and 40 nights
Well, Lent is about to start and I have yet to figure out what I am going to do this Lenten season. We were talking before at bible study how when we were younger, we used to give up stuff like chocolate or whatever. So for 40 days, you don't do something, but right after that, it's back to whatever it was people gave up. I used to quit smoking for Lent, hoping that it would spurn me to be quit long after Easter came and went. Nope, never worked. But that was back then, now it's about a better understanding of what Lent is...sacrifice. It's not about just those 40 days, but after. We should be changed and affected by the season, not just in and out. So yeah, I might give up something like cussing or something, but I also want to do something that means more than that...I just can't figure it out yet. One good idea that someone had was to save money from eating out each week and donating it to the poor. So something along those lines, or maybe I'll even do just that. Come on brain...think...

It makes me uneasy when your coworkers are telling outside people the wrong information. It leads them to the wrong conclusions, and it just makes the company seem like they are uninformed. This one guy from our dept is talking to some guy I don't know, but he comes here often, probably one of our contractors or something, but he is TOTALLY giving him the wrong information. Sometimes, I think he has no clue. And the rest of us are just sitting here, because they are so involved already we can't disrupt it and say, no buddy, you have no clue what you're talking about....sheesh, don't BS man, it can only make matters worse!!!

I've coined a new phrase, or word..."geekafreak." I called cic that this morning, he he he.

"The smart man does not pretend to know things he does not."

What did you say
I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard one of those Sit n Sleep commercials, the one with the "You're killing me Larry!!!" guy. Anyway, he was saying something, and then the other dude goes, "That's the idear," pronounced (eye-dee-err). How did that word ever come about? How did someone start to add an R at the end of that word? Weird.

It's pretty crazy how someone's haircut can totally change their appearance. I mean, other than the obvious drastic change, I'm talking about how they can just look older or younger. And the weird part is, the effect is not the same for everyone. Like some people, when they cut their hair, they totally look young again. But one of the people here got her hair cut, and before she cut it, her hair was long, and I thought she was like maybe early thirties. She cut her hair a few weeks ago, and I swear now, she looks like she's almost 50. Just strange how the effect can be so different.

I was talking to one of my coworkers about life stuff and she was talking about her little sister, how she was trying to convince her to go to the school that cost the least and how her sister replied that, "money isn't that important." Apparently, she doesn't think so. She told me she had like 5k in student loans and I told her I owed almost 6x that amount. And she said, "Do you really think spending that much $$$ on school is worth it?" She was totally surprised to hear me say yes. She is so totally conservative, putting money as the source of all that is good and happy, and I think thinks too much about it. Her little sister seems to have more wisdom than her. Because she even thinks that her sister will learn her lesson the hard way, that spending money on school is not worth it. Kinda makes me wonder what happened to her and school... But it's funny how two people from the same family can have such opposite point of views, and even funnier that the little sister seems to "get it" more than she does.

"You can't take it with you...."

I am a roll call list...

Damn man, I just got back from one of Cicely's family parties...it was a lot of fun. We danced, ate lots of food, danced, drank, ate cake, danced again. I learned the Todo todo for like the millionth time in my life, the mambo cha cha thingy, and the sex-bomb song, that one is almost as bad as ocho ocho(hell yeah cile!). But damn, it's stressful to go to one of those things man. I can't get everyone's names. There were like 50 people there tonight, and they were all IMMEDIATE family! Seriously! And then, Cic even goes to say that there are some people missing! I'm like WTF? Dude, hello umm...tito and tita...yeah, that's gonna be everyone's names, tito, tita, hey you, and yes po or whatever po(not that I'm gonna SAY "whatever," but I mean fill in the blank with like yes, or something like that).

I love the rain. Keep it comin...too bad I can't snowboard anymore this season. Pooh

"After the rain, the rainbow..."

Another thing I wanted to add...
I think my friends and I need to start doing more active hangouts. I was talking about this with Chris and Cic earlier. I mean, I love the roscoes nights and all the eating, but America is getting more and more obese with each word that I type. Time to start doing some active stuff y'all, like pool parties, or naked football, or something, he he he. Weekend hikes and joining 10k's and stuff like that. Time to get that old heart pumpin folks!

I am a tiny square of cheese...

Damn, work is boring today, I wanna go home chill and then go to Roscoe's with everyone. Roscoes for the 2nd time in as many weeks, man we're on the fast track for heart disease....knock on wood people. Well anyway, as everyone else does on days when they're bored, I shall pass the time whilst blogging...

You're FIRED!!!
Man, I love that show. I know it's been goin on since the beginning of January, but I just never remembered to write about it. This is actually the first reality TV show I'm totally into. I never really watched Real World or Survivor, or American Idol even, though I finally watched a full episode about a month ago. But the Apprentice, I love that show. Maybe it's because of how cold Trump can be to those people, or just how they turn on each other or I just like waiting to see who he fires, but it's cool. You just don't know who he's gonna fire sometimes, last week I totally thought he was gonna fire Amirosa, but instead it was Jessie. Amirosa lucked out again this week because her team one. And that's the craziest part about the whole thing, you can totally suck, totally not contribute, and just be a bitch, but because your team wins, then you escape going to the board room and possible hearing, "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" He he he, I wish I could be the one doing the firing, there are more than a few people I have in mind, MUAH HA HA HA.

I thought people might like this You can get free I-tunes from pepsi. Sweet! It think I'm gonna start hitting up that sight as it is incredibly hard to DL songs nowadays, and good copies or versions at that. Plus, I've kinda taken to the whole, "Piracy sucks" mentality. Well more for movies than songs, but still, a baby step is still a step.

Just Drive
So they're trying to pass a bill that 16 and 17 year olds can't talk with cell phone in hand while driving. Their reasoning for this is that 16 and 17 year olds haven't had enough experience yet. But I think ALL people should not be able to hold their cells while driving, because I personally do not think that they are the ones who mostly get in accidents. THe statistics may prove me otherwise, but in my experience, it has always been some middle-aged or some-aged ADULT that almost switched into my lane, or wasn't paying attention at the light, or almost hit me while I was stopped.

Man, that's huge
A billion is a gigantic number to imagine. Comcast made a 50+ billion dollar bid for Disney, which btw was rejected sometime this weekend. Cingular wireless, owned by SBC, is about to buy AT&T wireless for $40 billion. That's an obsene amount of money. In case you didn't know exactly how much a billion is, check it out. It would take you 30 years to count to a billion. That's just how big that number is. Did you know that there are two types of billions? There's the American Billion, represented as 1,000,000,000 and then there's the British Billion, represented as a million TIMES a million. Good Lord, that's huge. Anyway, that's the random factoid for today...

Touchy touchy
I know I must have talked about this before, but the world as of late has gotten soft, much too sensitive to issues that they shouldn't be so completely obsessed with. Potical Correctedness is absolutely out of control. A person can get in trouble just by saying, "Man, I'm tired." Now I know that's a total exaggeration, but it's totally possible as well. I mean, I'm all for not offending people and all that, but nowadays, it seems like ANYTHING you say is offensive. And in a way, I guess it's always gonna be like that. You can't think something or say something that everyone's gonna agree with. That's the whole beauty of diversity, difference of opinion, we're not all robots, we can think for ourselves and want different things. But seriously, there are bigger things to be focusing our attention on than what's offensive and what's not. There are people dying of hunger, war, people who are killing, victims of crime, etc. I think it's time to refocus our energy.

Donkey man
I am super stubborn. I hate when my doctor tells me I can't do something for a month. And for some reason I always think I can heal pretty quick. Such is the case with my current shoulder ailment. I went to go play basketball with a few of the guys yesterday, and actually played games. Of course, I didn't go full out or anything, but it was so good just to run. There were a few times when I would instinctively react and reach out for a ball with my left hand, and thereby remind me the pain in my shoulder, but other than that, it was okay. I'm just crossing my fingers that to get back to 100% will not take too long. But one thing is for sure, I am fat and WAY out of shape. Time to do something about it.

inevitability
Sucks how we try not to be so frivolous with our spending, so as to not waste our money. But then something comes along that you cannot avoid, such as inflation. Well, here is the most recent setback for our already thinning wallets. OPEC is going to reduce production by something like a million barrels a day, thereby decreasing the available supply, thereby decreasing the exported amount to the united states, thereby increasing gas prices. Prices are projected to increase up to $0.40 over the next month or so, and that's just for regular? Dang, man. We're gonna have to ride bikes and stuff to work, sheesh. I always forget to include those unavoidable expenses when I make budgets and stuff. Things like, gas, or utility bills, those are things we can never actually get rid of, not like debt. Speaking of debt, I just reminded myself that I have to pay a few things off.

Why are there so many haters out there. People putting each other down. Just goes to show that evil sure is at work still. My manager comes and tells me I am tentatively scheduled to go to Toronto to support another project for a bit. One of the reasons they want me to go is that I can kinda speak french...but not the ONLY reason. Yet, I overhear the project lead for my current project telling him how canadian french is different from euro french. Hello! not THAT different, plus, that's not the ONLY reason they're sending me. I'm not completely fluent, so what would that matter. The other guy doesn't even speak french, canadian style OR euro! That makes me so mad man. THere isn't even anything scheduled for the current project. It makes me sick...blech!

Maturity
Acting immature or inappropriately really gets to me sometimes. I mean, it's just well, childish. Two guys at work today were disagreeing about something, and were totally going at it, getting louder and louder as they went on. And yes, I believe that it is important to express yourself and all that jazz, but expressing oneself and disrupting everyone around you are two completely different things. I can't believe people my age, and even older can still bicker like little kids. I mean, what good comes out of that? None, people feel uncomfortable around it, and it doesn't really promote a team-oriented atmosphere. It's almost along the lines of pouting or throwing tantrums when someone tells you something you don't agree with or thinks you were supposed to do something or whatever. Sometimes we are so quick to react and we don't think about things first. Sheesh, I feel like a freakin dad...this is sad.

is it just me or are kids starting to look waaaaaay older nowadays? I had coffee last night and I was walking back to my car and walked by these three huge like 30 year-old dudes talking to each other. As I walked past them, I overheard their conversation and heard one of them mention something along the lines like, "Dude, it's hard being a freshman, it's totally different from how it was senior year." W......T.......F? My jaw almost hit the floor when I heard that. These guys seriously looked like they were older than me, but they weren't, I'm like almost 10 years older than them. I can't believe how old the youth are starting to look nowadays. My cousin's sister, well I guess my cousin then, people used to think she was like 21 but she was only like 15. Blech. I think kids are too much in a hurry to grow up. They all have cell phones, they have freakin coffee, it's out of control. Even I think we grew up too fast...he he he, I'd give anything to just be able to play basketball with my friends after school or hang out on the monkey bars all day and stuff...those were the days. But it's just sad because when people grow up too fast, they won't realize it until it's too late and they can only look back at it.

I am a nick on the hand...

My arm is freakin sore right now...it kinda feels like someone's just tugging enough at it so it feels like they're trying to pull it out, but not totally pulling at it. I tried sleeping in the recliner last night, like my doctor suggested, but my arm still woke up me up an hour and a half earlier than I wanted to wake up. My second appt is in 3 weeks, I hope these 3 weeks pass me by with the quickness. Too bad I'm done with my medication, well I actually lost it, but only 2 days worth, which was only 2 pills one day and 1 on the last, so I don't think I'm missing much, unless those 2 pills were like THE pills, like the catalysts to fix the shoulder...that would totally suck.

Crazy, another dude(the last one was a dudettte) in our dept got eye surgery. I can't imagine what it's like to not really be able to see clearly right when you wake up, but it must be something. I don't know though, I still have my reservations. I mean, maybe I'm just being paranoid but we still don't know what the long term effects are. And granted, our eyesight is degenerative anyway, so one might as well do it now. But what if the long term effects are worse than the general degradation of one's eyesight? That's the scary part. It's like when people were talkinga bout E and stuff, how there was nothing wrong with it, but now all these things are popping up as far as effects of exposure and yada yada yada...just like with the cocaine addiction back in the 60's or 70's or whenever it was, and all the defects started showing up. I guess I'm just one of those poeple that need to see long-term stability before I can buy it.

Today is the last day of cleaning day, and they're giving us free lunch for our efforts, woohoo. I'm only gonna have a little though, because I'm having lunch w/ a friend today. But back to the cleaning. It's kinda funny because this is where all of the packrats rear their lil heads. I was going through one of our cabinets to free up some space so that we can place some of our things on top of the cabinets inside. And practically everything we pulled out, "We might need that, that's a blah blah blah." Or, "We might still need that, we used it blah blah blah." HELLO, this stuff has been sitting here for like a year and I've never even seen it used once! That's how IT is too, they keep EVERYTHING! It's insane. And the goal of this project is to make things more efficient. That's not efficient. It's like someone who cleans by sweeping all the dust underneath the rug, instead of throwing it out.

I forgot my sling at home today. And naturally, everyone doesn't care about running into you because there's no signal to them that you're hurt. At Noah's this morning, like 3 people bumped into my shoulder and didn't even say anything. Sheesh, come on people! He he he. So I guess wearing a sling or a cast or whatever IS worn to draw attention, so that they're more careful.

I was talking to Chris earlier today about that one commercial they always play on TV when the Laker games are on. The one where there's these 5 dudes sitting in a quad cab truck, I forgot what kind of truck, but the dude in the middle back seat(otherwise known as beyotch!) is singing that one Shania Twain song, "I feel like a Woman." That is the funniest commercial, plus, I like that song. So he dl'ed it to his comp and e-mailed it to me, and I've been listening to it all day pretty much, "Oh oh oh, totally crazay...dadadadadadaa..."

Yes, I'm at work and things are slow..."Woah oh oh.....Man, I feel like a woman." He he he

"Plans change plans"

I am a sitting duck...

I haven't been doing too much at work this week. Other than small tasks and writing this report I've been meaning to write for the past 2 months, oh..and cleaning, nothing really. It's been one of the most relaxed weeks I've had so far here. I'm pretty sure this is just the calm before the storm though, cuz remember, I mentioned that the senior manager, project lead and supervisor are all away from the office. I've done pretty much everything I need to do for my current projects and I'm just waiting for the next set of tasks. At least I can get this report out of the way, and get the dept cleaned up a little bit.

Oh, the cleanup. There's this 2S initiative, that the president of our company wants us all to abide by by tomorrow, where every employee has to clear all the stuff out from under their desks, boxes, all that crap. All of our cables have to be neatly organized and tied up. The general theory is that everything will be neatly stored in our storage space and everything will be better organized and easier to get to at our particular stations. It's pretty crazy though, I saw the pictures of how they ideally want our stations to look like, it's too much. These guys have nothing but computers on their desks, which is, in my opinion, impossible. They don't even have pictures and decorations up. Screw that, I wanna decorate my desk, personalize it, if you will. I only have one picture up so I need to bring in more decorations, which reminds me, I need to bring in this picture of Kobe that V gave me for my b-day, but I keep forgetting. But seriously, some people have SO MUCH stuff, it looks like it'll never get cleaned, and there's boxes everywhere. I wonder how the finished product is gonna look. I can't wait...a clean office! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I had the last cleaning up to do, because I already hate clutter at my desk. So I just get to help do the other stuff, and w/ the bum arm, I get to just observe and supervise...I guess there are some perks to being injured, ha ha ha.

Chris and I were talking about studying earlier today, cuz we're both taking an exam in April, but they're different exams, he's way more advanced than I am, he he he. We both try to study at lunch, but I think his study efforts are far more productive than mine, one reason being that he has a study partner. Which is kinda like working out. It's much easier and you can actually get more results if you have a workout buddy than going it alone. Strength in numbers, man. I need to find someone who's studyin for this same test... in a hurry.

Man, bored bored bored.....

A moment of weakness
Everyone gets frustrated....
Fuck man, I can't stand my mom and sister's relationship. I hate that she has to call me at work and get me all riled up because she(mom) feels like she can't talk to her(sister). And yeah, they really don't get along a lot of the time(as do many mothers and daughters or parents and children) but shit man, she acts like she can't even ask her own daughter a question! She assumes it'll just go bad right away and she'll get yelled at or something!!! It pisses me off man. It's like this timidness that I can't understand, she doesn't even like asking B to do anything, and he's her son-in-law! I don't know what it is about some traditional Pilipino parents, how they have to keep everything "immediate." Instead, she'd rather have me ask if I can take another day off of work(I just took two in the last week and a half) because they're closed on weekends, just to drive to freakin Panorama or wherever the hell that place is to take care of an errand that'll last 30 minutes. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, I guess, but it's frustrating when you are on the receiving end of that all the time.

I guess it's just the way she handles it is what pisses me off. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom to death, but good Lord, come on!!!!!

I am a kooshball...

Out on Parole
Woohoo! Today is my official 6 month anniversary of working here as a full-time employee. I am supposedly officially off of my probationary period and I can now take sick days, vacation days, and my dental benefits kick in. But all of the higher up dudes are either on vacation for the rest of the week or on business trips. I wonder if they go through like an official review or something....hmmmm. We'll just wait and see I guess. Man, that was a quick six months. Total, I think I've been here about 9 months...man, that long already? Seems like yesterday it was just spring and I was doing nothing but being unemployed at home.

not a Toys'R Us kid
I read a few articles today about Lebron, 'Melo, and Andre Miller not being selected to the All-star game. What a bunch of bitches man, they said that if they were to be named as injury reserves, they wouldn't play. That is just arrogant in my opinion. They were saying guys that shouldn't have made it and stuff, which is kinda dumb because the coaches select the reserves, not fans. What's whack is that they're actually putting other people down that got voted. That's enough to merit a no vote for me next year for them. These kids nowadays man, they want everything, and think they deserve it all. Just goes to show their lack of maturity in these matters I guess. I seriously think the youth is growing up a little too fast nowadays. What happened to just playing with your friends and bullshitting, and just having fun? Everyone's in a hurry to be an adult...trust me man. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I think people don't realize the innocence and wonder of childhood until it's too late.

I think I just went blind. One of the buildings accross from us seems like it's pretty much all windows, and around this time, the sun reflects off of the windows and right into ours, directly at me. And I am pretty much the only one who gets it right in the face...damn. I'm actually wearing my sunglasses right now cuz it's bothering me. I never noticed this before though, maybe cuz the sun is starting to stay out later and later...oh no, that means summer is gonna be a beyotch for me. Aaaargh.

This shoulder thing bothers me more than it hurts. I mean it hurts, but the fact that I'm so limited in what I can do annoys me so much it outweights everything else. One thing that's totally gonna suck is shaving my head. Blech, it's gonna take forever. Oh well, I guess this is a glimpse of the type of deblilitating injuries some people have...how scary. I couldn't imagine having to adjust my habits on the long-term scale. Well, there's a reason for everything, so I just gotta look at this as just one of those other trials...

I talked to one of my friends from Irvine the other night. She's training to run in a marathon for stroke survivors and victims. I think I'm gonna support her cause, and ask if she can run for pop. That's pretty cool though, I wanna try to run in a marathon. How does one even train for that kind of thing? Here, just run... That's crazy...I wonder how long it would take to walk one of those.

I am the little tea pot...

Went to mammoth this weekend. It was hella fun, all except for the bursitis. I came off a jump and totally landed on my shoulder, and BAM, I messed it up, just like that. So I had to go to the doctor today(I got the day off, woohoo), and after going to see a regular doctor and an orthopedoic(sp?) specialist, I find that I need a freakin injection into my shoulder(I HATE shots, and that *explicative* needle was huge!), and a prescription for the pain and inflammation, and I can't do anything like run or play ball for at least a month, after I get evaluated again. Things like this that make me feel so damn old....argh. I wish I was a professional athlete. Those guys get things like this all the time, and they recover in like a week, cuz they have like top notch medical staff on their side. Goes to show you how good healtcare can get, IF you have the ends for it. But like I said, it was a great weekend for snowboarding, sans the injury. The snow was awesome, and I took it easy for the rest of the time I boarded.

I wanna blog more, but I'm kinda tired...
