Weekend Broken Down
So the weekend is down to its final hours. Bah. Ok lets see what I did. Friday after school the guys played some basketball till about 6 or so, where then after we went home and went out again to the youth group thing at 7:30 or so. We ended up playing some toilet flushing game and having a discussion about friendship. The funny thing was that the group was split to guys and girls, and all of us less one knew each other in the discussion haha. It wasn't too in depth.

Saturday morning at 11 or so Chester Rob Nick Jhermaine Kevin and I went to Palomares Elementary for some community service haha. There Chester and I took some turns going down the big slide. Basically we spent the time regulating traffic and making laps, kind of like Target haha. The good thing is that we got free sodas and Starbursts. It was okay I guess. For some whack reason Willy and his brother got there at a forbidden 8 AM, and they parked in the "VIP lot", as he referred to it. Funny because there wasn't even any ass to kiss up to there anyways. Oh. That night Chester, Kevin, Nick, Rob, Jhermaine, Ian, AJ and I went to Regal Cinemas to see Zoolander. Before that we ate at a place called Burger's Restaurant, which was too expensive to be worth it, but the food would be decent per a lower price. The movie was pretty funny, but not worth 9 dollars, like many movies I see past 6 PM. It was good because the previews before the movie made me want to see two movies coming out.

Today I worked at Target, and it was pretty boring as usual. It was only good till 2 PM. For the third week in a row they stuck me on the slave end of the aisles, which is the half closer to all the guests that come out and buy stuff. Bah. Work sucks, but I need money to pay for my monthy expenses. Anyways I'll be reading chaper 13 of Bless Me, Ultima. I might start some other homework too, so for now I'm gone.

It's Thursday
Well it's Thursday, and nothing really has happened. The weather has been iffy lately, with it being really cold in the morning and warming a tad during the afternoon. School has been pretty cool, except the boring classes are getting really boring. I must say damn my 5th period government class. Not only are more than half of them either dumb or ignorant, but some of them are way too liberal to me. Bah I should have been allowed to stay in the other class with the hot chic. Lunch was pleasant with a nice surprise at the end hehe. MCL was good as usual, as we had our first fishbowl of the year. We spend the period taking notes, since we were on the outside. Chester and I spent the period taking pictures of Christie and Kenji staring at Christie. That foo has to be careful, anymore staring and his eyes might fall out of their sockets. Oh well you can always bag her. If you want a link to the pics then ask me. That's about it, I think it's time to do some homework or something.

Week So Far
Well it's another week, and the weather has been rather janky lately. Take yesterday for example, last night it rained and thunderstormed with lightning like a bia. Today, it was mostly sunny, with a nice temperature. Nothing's up really, school isn't really that bad right now, just kind of tiring. Man someone got me sick over the weekend. It's nothing that bad, but I've been tired and taking naps because of it. Oh yea, we had a physics lab today, and it was pretty cool. We landed the small ball from the ramp straight into the bottom of the box, nothing but net. Looks like we got a full 20/20 woohoo! That's it for now. One small thing, I don't know what's up, but is there a money tree out there or something? If so let me get in on it! I don't know about you, but I still remember slaving every weekend for my paycheck. Do some of you guys have extra jobs or something? Dropin dope? Mafia connections? The only thing I'm sure about is my seven point two five hourly payrate at work. Leave this where it is, I'm done.

Microsoft XP Professional
I must say that despite it being a Microsoft Product, it's actually pretty cool. Besides the animated intro, having the OS install all the drivers by itself was dope. Also a bonus, it loads up in liek 1/2 the time of Windows 2000 Server. GG so far.

Weekend At A Glance
Sorry I've been lacking in updates lately. I've been bogged down and tired from work and school. Anyways Friday after school Chester, Jhermaine, Kevin, Tom, Will, Kenji and I went to Oakland to eat some Vietnamese food. Thirty minutes after getting home we went to play some bball till 7 or so. This morning I started work at 11 AM and worked till 4:30 PM. What a long, boring day. After work Will, Jhermaine and I went to Fry's where Will and Jhermaine got microphone headsets while I got a carrying case for my digital camera. After that we went to Gateway Country where I got I ordered a scanner and hub for 170 before rebates. I doubt I'll be starting homework tonight, so I guess I'll be doing it tomorrow after work.

Nuff said, oh.

Test[s]
Ok so today there was a test in Physics Honors. It was hard. Even the smart people said it was hard. Issues if you say otherwise, oh. Anyways tomorrow there will be a test in A.P. Statistics. Weak with not telling us what's on the test or how many questions. On Thursday there will be a vocabulary test in MCL. On Friday there will be a test in U.S. Government. Bah all these tests. Anyways after school Kevin, Chester and I went to Orchard Supply Hardware where I picked up some plastic mats for my trunk and Chester got some lights for his yard. Now I have to finish my homework and semi-study. Late.

First Drive
Today after dinner I finally got to drive my G20. My dad went over how to drive a manual transmission. He also taught my mom how to work a manual transmission car. I didn't do too bad, a couple stalls yeah, but I'm sure that's normal. Closer to the end I went up to Gerald's house and gave him a ride around the block. I was going to do the same with Chester, but he was eating dinner. Hopefully sometime soon I'll permanently get to drive that car.

2002 Infiniti G20 Sport
Woohoo I just got my car!!! It's nice and cool. Check it out here at Infiniti's web site.

Saturday
Today I showed up at Target at 11:10 AM, only to find out I was supposed to start at 11:45. After hanging out for a bit, I started. I got off at 4:30, but I bought a new cordless phone for myself first. I then went home and ate dinner. After eating, my dad, mom and I went out to look at cars. We visited Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti and Acura. We test drove an Acura RSX and an Infiniti G20t. My dad seems to like the G20t more. I think we're going back again tomorrow.

Today
Well today was pretty cool. It started out foggy though. When I got to school, the senior lot was full, so I had to make that fatty lap around CVHS. This one stupid white integra was taking two spots on the side, so I cursed at it. After I got into the junior lot, I find out that it's basically half full already, so I ended up parking past the traffic light. School overall was pretty good. We had our welcome back assembly on the field with all 4 classes and that was neat. However we got gypped as we didn't win the relay nor the class singing competition. Bah. Anyways after school we played some TFC [Team Fortress Classic] till about 5. After that Gerald, Nick, Jhermaine, Rob, Will and Tom came over. We ate some dinner then watched the assembly video which was pretty funny at times lol. Around 7 or so most of us went to Wendi's house to go to a fellowship type thing. We got to the church at around 7:30 PM and we proceeded to sing some songs, play some games, and hold a discussion about concerns/issues that teenages have today. Overall the night was pretty interesting. After that we went back to Wendi's house for about an hour and basically talked outside. That's it for now. Bah I have to work in the morning, so see ya latez.

Sony DSC-P1
Ordered from dbuys.com, the same place Will got his Olympus 4040z. I hope 3rd time's a charm for online ordering. Fedex saver, they say 5-7 business days. If they process tomorrow, camera arrives next next monday then haha? oh.

Doh!
Bah finally after 5 years or so the closet bars fall down. These cheap plastic pieces had to go sometime.

Tuesday
Well nothing really happened today. The mood around school improved a bit, but things weren't completely normal yet. It was pretty cold today, for some uncharacteristic reason. Man, damn CVHS admin. They needed 6 people from my 5th period Government class with Frasca to go across to hall to Government with Cassidy. What do you know?? Maxwell chooses me. What a bastard. Man. It's not my fault that they fucked up before the year started. If they got their act together, then nobody would have gotten screwed over. Yes I moved into a class where I at least know people, but damnit, the hottest girl in the whole school was back in the other class!! Not that I, or anyone really that I knew had a cold chance in hell with her, but bah, she was fine to look at. Man this sucks. Damn CVHS. What a gyp. Just because the day started good, something bad had to happen. Noooooo. Bah.

Terrorist Attacks On United States
Everyone has heard what has happened by now. Those people who were behind this should come forward and face the wrath of the world. They should go to hell. Condolences go out to the families and loved ones of the people who were killed today.

School
Today was pretty cool. In second period AP Statistics we had a quiz that was easy, especially if the teacher tell you what the questions are going to be and what the problems look like before hand. Fifth period US government was cool as well, as about 15 people from the class got booted into the other class, and I moved to a prime seat. One note on freshman: hello with their wackness, sitting near the tree where we've been eating lunch for years now, damn underclassmen. However, not all things went as well, in Multicultural Literature, all I have to say is, if you're gonna turn around and look like you're going to talk to someone, then talk to the damn person shit. Don't freaking hesitate then change your mind about it. It doesn't do well for the other's mood. That's about it. After school my brother and I had an ortho appointment, where we were treated to a semi show. Now I'm home and I should start my homework. Damn, why are there so many online crooks out there? Bastards.

First Day Back At Work
Well today was my first day back at work in over two weeks. Bad news: I remember why I hate that place and how crappy of a job it is. Good news: it was good to make money again, and oh yea to see Quinn too. Anyways after slaving for about 5 hours or so, I came home and worked on some homework. After eating dinner I got a hair cut, and now I'm finishing up this stupid homework. Tomorrow will be the start of the first whole week at school. Aite that's it, late.

My Saturday
Well today I got up around 1 or so. After eating lunch I basically sat around and watched some TV and such. Nothing really big. After dinner my family went to the mall for 2 hours or so. Got myself a t-shirt and another long sleeve shirt as well.

Friday
Around 4:30 PM or so, we played some bball. After that we all went home, and basically all I've done is watch TV and clean up my hard drive. Hmm, nothing really up, except damn, MCL is dirty.

All Star Camera Sux0rs
Uh I ordered yesterday. Then I get an email today asking me to call them for confirmation. I call them, and they end up telling me that the one I paid for is a grey market product. Hello with this, especially after myself and a friend called and asked them specifically if the one going for that price is a USA retail product. God those fuckheads. Canceled on their candy asses, oh. Man I'm pissed. Oh and hi with their email on AOHell. I'll be looking to order again over the weekend.

Labor Day Joke
I know it's a bit late, but it's pretty funny. Chester heard this while watching The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
"Today we celebrate Labor Day. Thank you America. Gracias Amigos." LOL.

Sony DSC-P1
Ordered. Oh. Now lets see whether Gerald's camera or mine shows up first haha. GG!

One Day Until Weekend
Today was as "normal" as any other school day I guess. Classes have basically switched into normal mode by now. Damn I can't say enough that A.P. Statistics is damn boring and the teacher is hella annoying. In 4th period A Capella we basically sang for the first time this year, with some guys switching voice parts. Fifth period was cool, as we started a debate/discussion on whether or not abortion should be legal or not. There were only two people on the pro-life side, with maybe seven or eight of us in the middle. That left about 31 people on the pro-choice side haha. MCL was cool as usual, and Kenji actually did some work. After school, Chester, Kevin, Jhermaine and I went to KFC to eat some food before Chester had to pick Tracy up and drop her off at the village. Looks like Jhermaine got his camera, so I'll be giving a judgement soon on the French...I mean Canadian.

After School
After school Chester, Kevin and I first went to Pro Image Studios where Chester turned in his submission for the yearbook picture. Oh yea we also got another great movie clip haha. After that we went to Bayfair Mall where Chester got the correct shoes after Champs gave him two shoes that weren't the same lol. Oh yea and I picked up a pair of Irvine colored laces.

CVHS Biased Toward Students
Okay so today I get to school around 7:15 AM. There is like one space left, so I park in it. Then come third period I get called out of class and I'm told that I parked in a staff spot. Hello there. First of all, they take even more spots from the senior lot and turn a spot that was a senior spot the previous year into a staff spot? Second of all, horse crap with checking staff permits, but not senior permits. So they're letting juniors park in the senior lot, but not seniors in the staff lot [which is the same lot but staff spots have their pussy spray paint on it]. If they are going to check staff spots, they might as well check the whole damn lot because staff spots comprise about 3/8 of the whole lot. Horse shit with being hella lazy. So what if people are still buying permits, if they don't have one then tough shit move to the junior lot. Also, do they even sell the same amount of permits as there are spots? Things are looking mighty crowded. Bull crap. If they're not going to check for another 2 weeks, they might as well not check all of the permits. Lets see how the staff fares if they are forced to come early and fight for parking with people who aren't supposed to be there. They'd bitch too. Yes without teachers there would be no need for students, but guess what...the contrary is true as well. It's one of those situations which both parties need each other, so the least they can do is treat each other the same. If students were to go on strike, it would fuck over the teachers more because they'd be out of a job. Damn their laziness. In addition to the regular senior prank, someone should paint over the "staff" signs for the last week of school. Bastards. If they want their damn up close staff spots, then fine have their staff spot. At least make it fair and give seniors their spots. Until then, CVHS can kiss my off-yellow ass. Peace out. Oh yea: I checked after break, lunch, and after school. Seems like there was no "staff" to park in that spot anyways. Weak. Oh.

Gateway
Gateway is full of bullshit. Their gift certificates are basically useless. I took probably 40 minutes talking to numerous departments and affiliates trying to find out where I can use my certificates. Their ghetto ass 1800 Gateway shit is only good for useless parts. Now it seems like I have to drive my ass out to Gateway Country, look at the display models, then order from a damn catelog. The freaken thing is that shipping will be on me. What a bunch of homos.

On another note, school was cool haha. 6th period MCL what? Chester: lunchtime is cool huh? Lol.

Basketball
Today around 4 PM we went to play some 4on4 basketball at the rec. After that we went to the pool area for 5 minutes where I got my wave in haha. Anyways after that Will, Kevin and I went over to Tom's house to set up their home network, mainly for David. We finished around 7:30. Nothing much since then. Bah there's school tomorrow.

Basketball
Uh bball, report to rec. AC just came online, gogogo!

Thoughts On School
I sit here, and I cannot help but to think of my schedule. I'm in classes where I'm mostly surrounded by friends, people I've known a long time who I trust and spend my life with. The one class that I have no friends with is made up with the fact that a very hot girl is in there. With all this you may ask...what in the world is wrong? I will tell you. Even though I'm around people I know, it will be hard to keep in contact with the people I met last year. I mean, people who I met or just got on the brink of getting close to last year in class [most notably first period American Lit and second period Pre-Calculus] are no longer in my classes this year. I just started being friends with these people, now it's in jeapardy.

What is the solution you ask? I'm not sure. We can be like some schools and go through each grade in the same class, with the same exact people year in and year out. One good thing is you really get to know people well and the potential for life-long lasting relationships increases. The downside is it can get boring and if you don't like the people around you, then you're screwed. Also, being in the same class every year leaves no room to meet people who you would otherwise not get a chance to. This is an extreme solution that would attend to the problem before it starts, too late for my current issue.

Some of you might say to just simply keep in touch with your old acquaintances at school, like during lunch and after school. Easier said than done. School is very busy and you're inclined to stay around the same people everyday. One thing about school is that it's very routine. You go to one class, follow the same route to the next class, and you know what to expect. Also to some there is the problem of not being yourself in public. That solution is difficult. Okay so you can't keep in touch at school, what now? Howabout talking to each other online with instant messages and through the telephone. Good idea. No need to deal with the public [*hint*], or pressure from friends [*fucking hint*]. While it's great and all still being able to talk to people, it sucks not seeing them and while the idea might seem simple, it doesn't always work that way [there is one personal exception of mine, though]. So what else is there to do? Plan on going to the same college as them? Haha bologna. You can also hope to see them outside of school, like at places of work [haha I bet that will never happen again] or at the mall [haha Nick and Chester know what I'm talking about, JLo anyone? Oops wrong instance, but same place], but that's hoping for a lot.

Now that I've done some rethinking, there is nothing really to be done. I've learned that sometimes it's best not to think things out or try too hard, and let nature take its course. Not everything can be planned, and you can't always assume that something will happen, because in reality, not everything happens according to plan. The best thing you can do is take what's given to you, make the best of it and hope that everything works out fine. Whatever higher being above us will provide us with the means and we will know what to do when the situation presents itself. As for my current dilemma, I'll just have to wait and see where things go, and maybe, just maybe things between those people I met and started getting to know last year will turn into fond memories.

I must demand that a no-slam clause be included with this posting.

Note On Popeye's
Some woman started bitching to the employees over something I'm not sure of. After she left, one of the guys yelled to the back, "Hey, she just called us asses!" Then all the people in the back started laughing. It was pretty funny too, until a chinese woman, who was probably the boss, told them that they had customers who needed to be serviced.

Sunday
Ok I was awaken at 11:30 AM by my dad who turned on my TV to watch the A's game, which they ended up winning. My family then went to Popeye's to eat lunch. We ordered the 11 piece special and a number 5, which had 12 chicken strips, one large side and 4 biscuits. After lunch we went shopping for some luggage, but they proved to be too large, so we ended up not getting them. Now I'm home and I think I'll start some homework now.

First Two Days Of School
Well, it's that time again...school! A quick rundown of my classes:
First period is AP Environmental Science. I think this class will be pretty cool, as i already know the teacher and I have some friends in there. Hopefully it will yield an easy good grade. The class is composed of like 65 percent asian people...nuff said. No candy there. My second period is AP Statistics, and so far it seems cool. I know some people in there, but I wonder what Willy's reaction will be when he gets back on tuesday to find out he's in my class lol. Two pieces of candy. Third period is Physics Honors. So far the teachers been cool, but I hear and feel this class will turn out to be pretty hard. Like the last class I have some friends in there, so it should be pretty cool. Two pieces of candy, but one is the same as the previous class. Fourth period I have is A Capella, the choir. Many friends in there...many guys = no candy. My fifth period class is Government. I don't have any friends in there, but hot damn the cutest girl in all of my classes is in there, so it will eventually balance out. 3 pieces of candy +1 bonus. My final class of the day is Multicultural Literature. This class is great. I have some friends in there, and the teacher seems pretty cool. 5 pieces of candy...woohoo!

Olive Garden
Yesterday after finishing school, some of us guys went to play some basketball at the rec. At about 7:30 or so, Gerald picked up Steph, Chester, Rob, Kevin, Nick and I. Unfortunately on the way we got pulled over by a black and white. We met up at Olive Garden with David, Tom, Will and Jhermaine. After waiting some around some time we got seated around 8:30. Everyone got the never ending pasta, and I got penne alfredo with sausage. The food was medicore at best, and the service was horrible. The waiter automatically assumed we didn't want a second round on the pasta, and got pissed when we asked for more. Also, he failed to even ask if anyone else wanted refills when Jhermaine asked for his drink to be refilled. Now I will never go back to that Olive Garden again, those punks. Before leaving Chester, Kevin and I complained to the dailo [boss] about the bad service. Weak. However the main point of the night was to spend time with friends and have a good time, which we did. Today I've basically been sleeping and playing games, because everyone else had to work. Reminder to all that there might be a match tonight @ 10:00 PM.
