pwn3d by the weather.. FAIL?

In the past 2 weeks, mother nature has taken the NW into her hands, squeezed the fun and sunshine out of it, then put it in her pocket and reintroduced us to rain+snow+wind+greyskies+floods+avalanches+sadface+butthurt. The weather wo/men say itll be a light wind chill with a chance of rain.. it snows that day. Then they say "grey skies".. and rain pours down. "chance of snow"... 4 inches [pause]. WTF! I think anyone can be a weather person now, cause all you have to do is PREDICT ANY WEATHER situation within the weather pattern of the year before, and BAM, your Steve Pool, or whoever you wanna be [Id be steve pool, cause he's black, so i have a chance at another job, like rapping, or any sport that doesnt include swimming.]

Lately I've been given the opportunity to go snowboarding, and so far I had to cancel TWICE because of crappy weather [avalanche, floods, blah blah..]. So I'm pretty upset. It doesn't help that winter quarter has started and Im finishing up Calculus after a 2 quarter break, which is a VERY BAD idea, let me tell you. I have so much catching up to do. I mean seriously, how do they expect me to keep up with snowboarding, LOST, and, underwater basketweaving if I have to over-study calculus all over again. ZOMG. So I'm sorta stuck indoors and can only resort to YouTube videos of snowboarding, or crying about it here.

Oh yeah! After class one day, I was walking home and decided to total up the amount I spent on all my snowboarding gear, not including the spare things I have. After estimating everything I wear on the mountain, not including the clothes under, I found that I snowboard with $750 on! good gawwwd, AND almost everything I bought was on sale. SO, if you decide on making snowboarding a habit, that's the smallest amount you MIGHT be able to pull off.

Before I go any further into my blabbling.. let's do a quick recap of what I forgot to mention..
+ Merry Christmas!..family+relatives+friends dinner. Bacas' House. presents! insert xbox 360 here. back to seattle at midnight.
+ Happy New Year!..can't afford to go out. 3 person party = drunk fun. clean up crew next morning. NY resolution: play guitar/ukulele more.
+ School starts.. ZOMG too many variables and symbols. must resort to snowboarding.. FAIL.

On the up side though, I did manage to upload all my pictures from my camera to my hard drive. Now a few more months and they should be on my Facebook or Myspace. I've also been working on my cooking. Im pretty good so far, meaning I haven't killed myself or anyone, and I'm expanding my horizon on different cooking techniques. So on my off time from going out [see: BROKE], my plan is to get back into a routine.
8am: workout
10am: homework
1pm: class
3: work/study/homework
1030:LOST/sleep

I've been on the bad habit of sleeping late and have been paying for it. Slowly but surely though I should be getting my internal clock back in working order. I feel the beginning of this year, everyone's plan is to get back into "shape", but not always literally. Some will cut down on the drinking, and pick up a weight instead. or turn off the TV and turn up the healthy foods. Stop going out, and begin a book. So I don't feel so bad as to missing out on many things, but like everyone else, I gotta do whats important first, and thats to focus on what I need to do to succeed.

*random thought bubble* Once I get my fisheye lens for my camera, im gonna start making my own snowboarding videos/clips. So everyone can see how AWESOME I am! Rawr! Deng, I need money. Deng, the weather sucks. *random thought bubble* /end

Recent video I found while pondering of snowboarding..

Travis Parker is rad. Plus, he's part of the DC crew. woot woot.

Also, i think ill add a song shall be added to my playlist on the mountain. video on THIS LINK. good workout song maybe? for the ladies, yes :) teehehehehe..

Today was the last day of class for this week. I'm about to go out and relax with PJ and her sister who decided that I should go with them to "R Place"... .. . .If you don't know where that is, then the rest of this entry should give you an idea. I figured 'what the heck. im never gonna be going in here, i might as well see what im missing out on. another story to write in my book.' As I left my place for PJ's apartment, my sister texted me "Amateur strip show at RPlace tonight :)" so that should be interesting...? I don't plan on drinking very much cause I can't afford it. Im really hoping the the hotdog stand is out on thursday nights and the weather holds up so I can get myself a creamcheese hotdog. YUMMY YUM YUM.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Remember when the internet was in its younger ages?! Wow, time has past us so fast..

MASTER OF THE INTERNET - watch more funny videos

WA snowed in! haaaaiii!!

its been snowing like crazy over here in the northwest. so everyone is either stuck outside in the snow, or stuck inside with cable/internet. seeing you are reading this, you have the comfort of internet and get a chance to keep yourself occupied. SO CHECK THIS OUT. its fun.

NEAVE has many different things to play with to keep you busy while you are snowed in. and if you have a webcam/microphone your fun just went up 7 points. give yourself a high five or a slap on the ass. well done

Illusions are fun, new movie poster

Poster comes out for scary movie "The Unborn". Haven't seen the trailer yet, but check this out.



Do you see the dead kid in the mirror?! No, really there's a kid in the mirror. And he looks dead. Look closer. Nothing still? Look away for a second then look at the poster again. See him now? Try squinting your eyes. Focus on the mirror. I swear theres a kid in the mirror's reflection. Well, once you get your eyes off the girl's butt, you might see it. Took me about 20 minutes to see the damn kid. Jaayyzzzuuuss.

Neato ninja gift!

Mom and Dad not happy about you failing your classes and showing up on the report card? Well you're in luck, and what perfect time to buy something to turn that FAIL into.. well.. it'll still be a FAIL, but you can post up your fail on the fridge with this! Post that fail with a little flare!



Source Ninja Star Magnet

Unfortunately you can't really throw them. Well you can, but you'll just look like an idiot throwing a magnet shaped as 3/4 of a ninja star. Now buy these suckers and make the ladies melt in your fingers when you tell them "I might not be rich, but I've got the hottest set of ninja star magnets in my kitchen *wink*." Another downside: these things are backordered. And they dont come with a free ninja outfit, but smart people like me know that all you gotta do is tie a shirt to your face and you're officially a ninja! and a guy with a shirt on his face.

SNL makes me giggle like a little school girl.

After watching SNL this past saturday, I was hoping to find the clip of Andy Samberg impersonating the little 9yr old kid, who supposedly wrote some advice on how to talk to girls [wtf?], but no luck yet. By the way, it was funny. Cause kids are funny. and people who need advice from a 9yr old are funny too. Sorry people, grow up.

BUT! dare not fret my fellow readers. I have come through for your viewing pleasure. you can send praises and NSFW pictures via email or comments. After further research, I found the "Jizz In My Pants" video.

How to get the hot librarian into your house

New bookshelf for the lazy buyer + smart buyer + crazy reader.

At first its your typical book shelf, but once you run out of space..


Actually, you don't run out of space.. you make more space.


If you don't read books, you can store other things.
- Games
- Porn
- Shoeboxes
- Rocks
- Babies

Things you can't store.
- Your sad sad past. Carry that with you for the rest of your life. Muahahahahaha..

Happy Birthday James!

James Marshall Hendrix that is.. If you don't know, his birthday is November 27, 1942. In recognition of his awesomeness [yes, I said awesomeness and no its not a word, but yes I can say what I want, it's my blog], watch this video of two arts coming together with the help of David Garibaldi. A beautiful piece I say.


More painting fun, minus the music and bald guy. It gets a bit creepy towards the middle, but don't worry, nothing to fear.

What cup? .. Oh yeah, Apple Cup. Zzzzz...

It's that time of the year again, when Washington's two rival schools go at it. Winner gets... .. ..Second-to-Last Place trophy? Wow, we suck bad. Washington State goes into the cup with a miraculous record of 1-10, while Washington somehow comes up with a killer 0-10 record. Oh, wait, thats Loss-Games played. silly me. Again, We suck, and by we I mean the state of Washington. Lucky for everyone else, the game will be Televised for EVERYONES viewing pleasure on FOX @ 3pm Eastern this coming Saturday.

What genius thought "Oh haaiiii, instead of replaying House or Family Guy episodes, let's make history and televise the Apple Cup NAAAAATIONALLY!!!! that way everyone knows how much of a joke our station is!"

Yeah I should be more considerate for my two home teams, especially my Cougs. But 1-10?! and 0-10?! C'mon guys, give us something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Oh well, one good thing has come out of this sour apple..

Late night craving..

Step your game up AT&T and bring the Blackberry Storm to my hands! So far I've heard there are a few glitches, but that's like anything new to us, like Windows Vista, Apple iPhone, cloning animals, Dane Cook and/or Carlos Mencia [Carlos has WAY MORE than a few glitches], muffin tops, asian gangsters, japanese tattoos on white people, and THE ECONOMY [rawr!].

more good news you say?
mmm, how about a new trailer for J.J. Abram's Star Trek. I was never a fan of Star Trek, but for some reason this one is kinda exciting for me. Maybe because Sylar of Heroes is in it [I enjoy Heroes], or maybe Harold [John Cho] is in it also, and I am expecting some sort of silly antics of him and Kumar smoking marijuana, and a cheetah comes into scene with Neil Patrick Harris riding on a unicorn. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


UPDATE..
this SHOULD be the new trailer


Good Morning Losers.

Damn you Heartless Women!

The new road Kanye is taking is something different. Me likey so far.

On a happier note.. Ebony and Ivory, living in perfect harmony.

Im trying here.. still trying

Recently I went to the Rockband Live Tour at the Everett Event Center. I was fortunate enough to have a "date" with me so I wouldn't enjoy the music just by myself. Overall, it was pretty good but then again I don't have very much to compare it to since I rarely go to concerts and/or shows because of the lack of money. The tour featured Panic at the Disco, Plain White T's, The Cab, and the one and only DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL who was friggin awesome.
the opening..

The Cab performing

Plain White T's

Panic at the Disco

and most of all, DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL


I feel like I've fallin back into a slumber again, like I did during the beggining of the year. I think it's because of not using my time efficiently and slacking off here and there. Also it seems like there are a lot of problems around me, but the problems don't directly affect me, but just bring down my momentum. I don't have much of a routine going on since work is very flex, so I need to push myself to get things back on track. One way is getting back into shape. I used to use make time to workout at least 4-5 times a week, and now its like 2 times a week if that. The great thing about my the type of workouts that I do is that I can literally do them just about anywhere, just as long as I have some equipment. Other than access to the mini-gym located here in the apartment courtyard, my access to a gym does not neccessarily work with my schedule.So I think I'll either somehow make use of the mini-gym or else workout in the courtyard (maybe that'll get some spectators to wonder what im doing, and get them to check out the gym I TRY and go to). ALSO, I seriously need to get my cardio back up to par so hopefully make some time to go running.

On a more happier note, its SNOWBOARDING SEASON! And so far I see myself going to Whistler, B.C. at least twice this season hopefully. I just bought some new boots and a new board, so along with my one-season-old bindings I shall be pushing the envelope even more now. Hopefully I can start this November. Join Me!

Halloween just past. That was pretty fun. Kinda waited till the last moment to put my costume together. Pictures to come soon, once I upload from my camera. There was a costume contest going on and I think it was set up. First of all, the “theme” was “dead celebrities,” but the only contest I saw that was held.. guess which “dead celebrities” won? .. .. . no idea? .. .. .. how about MONKEY AND BANANA! Don’t know which celebrity they are? Yeaaahh me either. Me and 3 (maybe 4 if Joe could have fit a onesie) friends dressed up like babies and I felt like we had a good shot at this. We also (no pun intended) rolled up with a sushi! A home made sushi! She at least got some of the crowds cheers. All good tho, the monkey and banana are our friends, and I got a free t-shirt and a $40 tab :)



Coming up: Ludo @ El Corazon (11/08)

milk and cookies

Yes, i did survive Vegas, and no i did not need a liver transplant. Updating this thing has not been atop my list of "things-to-do" because since the last time a blogged [before i left for Vegas], I have been busy doing a few other things that are on my list. I've figured out a new way to keep readers/followers/stalkers up to date.. BLACKBERRY.

my blackberry curve is me, but better. Cheap, small, convenient, and best of all, is not as forgetful as i am. And for those of you who know me, i can definitely be forgetful. I already use the blackberry to update my Twitter, and now I try my best to make note of what i do each day that is worth mentioning. I did it once awhile back and it looked like this..
8/5: hung out at kate's, beer pong [winner], 711 hotdog,
8/6: interview, kayaking, agua verde, fuzion bar
8/7: orientation
8/8: war room, drive to sam's [hotdog in butt], sam's house [sam throws up], drive to kates, drive home
8/9: small hangover, wedding

Not much but i probably would have not remembered that night unless i noted it. I'm sure if i keep updating, it would become more in depth, with more interesting stories hopefully.

..UPDATE..
That post was done mid-September.. It is now October 10. as you can see i am WAY behind. so this is what happened.. last time i was blogging, i had to save it for later because i was heading out the door. But since then, my internet connection failed on me, which means my neighbor decided to either move out or not pay their bill. GEEZ people! *sigh* anyways, i added another journal note since then..

9/23: Happy B-day PJ!, Wasabi Bistro, nap,
9/24: work,
9/25: workout, rest
9/26: clean, mall, meet with canadians, drink up, war room, hotdogS [so good!], cell on trunk!
9/27: Rainstorm [fgb], work (5-1030), chill, Beth's till 4am

The whole "cell on trunk!" thing was amazing! seriously. So after War Room, we grabbed some hot dogs for the canadians to try since they never had a cream cheese hotdog. One of them was actually way too drunk so we sat hit down in a little doorway. we got 5 hotdogs for me, pj, and her 3 "cousins" ..but i underestimated her cousins because somehow we were able to walk away with 7 hotdogs! omg, greatest hotdog moment ever so far. So we got to the car, and one of them ran into the night to pee, so we waited at the car. I had two hotdogs and my cell in my hand, and my eyes glazed in tears of joy. so i set one hotdog down and my cell on the trunk waiting for Carlo to pee, and i scarf down one hotdog. by the time he gets back i grab the only thing i can see with my half-drunk eyes.. the hotdog. we get into the car and drive away to the apartment which is about a good 15min away. The trip consisted of hills, turns, and speeding down the highway. When we get to the apartment and out of the car, "Brittanie" says "uhh.. whos cellphone is this?!".. .... .. yeah. MY cellphone, STILL ON THE BACK OF THE CAR! is that ridiculous or what?! so my cell phones case has a magnet in it that turns off the screen when you put it in the case, and i guess that magnet held it onto the car. FRIGGIN CRAZY i tell yah. I am SO SO SO lucky :D

so now i have temporary internet connection [see: Panera], and then im off to the bus station to make my way over to the other side of the water to Bremerton. Once i have full control of the internet back, ill be blogging more! oh yeah, NEW LAPTOP! its pretty sweet, but i might look for another since i want something smaller and lighter in weight because i plan on bringing it with me to places.

I also talked to the apartment leasers, so it looks like me and my sister might be moving into a newly remodeled apartment. Can't wait to move in, but then again, i don't want to move in right now cause its bloody cold outside! i think i'm just used to the warm weather so im slowly getting used to being cold again. It's nice to layer up tho! yaye. okay, enough for now. oh, and if i dont update soon, heres whats going on.

today: bbq with friends in bremerton, visit BUNSEN at home [yaye!], come back to seattle tonight and chill
10/11: RAINSTORM, work :(
10/14: Everett Event Center for DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL! and other people.
10/18: House Warming party for some friends
10/31: Halloween. don't know what im going to be, or what im doing. gotta get on this one.

ALRIGHT! im done.
