Thursday
School was school, so school was cool. After coming home and eating a snack, I slept until 6:50 or so, just enough time to catch Charles Barkley being weighed during the half time show. The mo weighs 298 pounds hahaha. Anyways after dinner I headed out to the gym to meet up with Tom, Nick, and Will. I ended up doing a few shoulder lifts, some ab work, and ran my usual mile. After Tom left the rest of us hit the saunas and spa, where two half viewable asian chicks came in later.

Gym Yet Again
Will, Nick, Rob, Tom and I went to the gym today. We basically worked out our whole arm and shoulders. Again we ran our miles and worked our abs. After learning from yesterday, we wore our swimming trunks, so we hit the sauna and spa. Both were really nice. Dang I want to join now, but I don't want to drop the money. Here are some quotes:

StrikeoutK (9:43:35 PM): i wonder what its like in the womens locker room
TigerTheManWoods (9:43:47 PM): haha a lot of fat old bitches
StrikeoutK (9:43:55 PM): couple of good ones gotta go in there right?
TigerTheManWoods (9:44:00 PM): maybe, but too many bad ones to risk it
TigerTheManWoods (9:44:08 PM): id rather go to our school locker room
TigerTheManWoods (9:44:10 PM): better chance
Haha.

24 Hour Fitness
Tonight at around 7 PM, Will, Nick, David and I went to the gym for the second time. We worked our arms first, namely the biceps and triceps. After that we bicycled and ran about 4 combined miles. We worked abs next before jumping into the very hot and very steamy sauna for about 10 minutes (which felt longer).

Let It Snow
Yep it snowed here earlier. To my knowledge this is the second time it's snowed here in Castro Valley, but it's the first time I've actually seen it fall here. Anyways that was that, and that was cool. That's about it.

Jedi Master Speaks Again
[17:16] damn man
[17:16] fucking with a long distance bf
[17:16] i've been fucked like that too many times
[17:17] all i gotta say is,
[17:17] 1) carpie diem (seize the day)
[17:17] 2) what goes around, comes around
[17:17] 3) if she did it once, she'll do it again
[17:17] understood?
[17:18] if she fucks over her long distance bf now
[17:18] she will likely fuck over the next one
[17:18] you always want to believe that you will the one to change her
[17:21] life is about
[17:22] 1) weighing risks vs benefits
[17:22] and after you do that
[17:22] 2) weighing that versus your instincts
[17:26] on the other hand, if i looked at the situation
[17:26] and i wanted her real bad
[17:26] but she wasn't so sure
[17:26] i wouldn't go after her
[17:27] but you have to be willing to realize that the next guy might very well do the same thing to you
[17:44] 4) they're never off the market
-daz

Hmm, indeed I suppose. Now I shall wait.

Work At Target
Well. What can I say. Nothing really. My shit wasn't all too busy, and there weren't many things to do. While I was on my break, Will came in and ended up buying some stuff. When he told me what he was going to do with those things he bought, I thought he was shitten me. Then I spilled my drink all over the table. Then later he bought the stuff and ended up handing my ass to me. Good call Will, thanks for the assist. Regardless of the eventual outcome that came up maybe two hours later, things are still well. All good, not too bad of a result. Better then usual. For once, Will didn't end up gypping me. It cost me two dollars (I jacked Will 50 cents haha), but I guess it was worth it for once. Anyways after work and going to Will's house for a bit, we (along with Nick) headed out to 24 hour fitness for a little workout. Damn it's been a long time since the last real workout. I think I need to make periodic visits out there. But right now, that idea (along with a few others) is in the backseat behind something else...

Damn...2715.1 miles away. How is something like that done? Someone tell me, cuz I don't think I'll be letting that one go for a while.

The Day
Well today I worked, as expected. It was pretty cool, for once. The only part that sucked was that they made me grab carts from the parking lot while it was still raining, so if I die of hypothermia then someone sue for me. Hmm, maybe I want to start working on Tuesdays now? I dunno just an idea for now. Maybe I will, maybe I wont. Probably not, but if I was going to work during the schoolweek then it would be on Tuesday. Let's see, after leaving Target, I came home for a bit, then headed out to the mall with my family. I ended up getting another pair of pants from Structure (one last week), but this time my mom paid of them so that's a gg. Work tomorrow, hopefully it's still cool.

Ten Years From Now
Later down the road when you're making money, no wait...when you're making a living sitting on your ass playing video games, you can tell me how great you are and how much better you are at it then me. Until then, lay off and remember that lamentably, all of us are stuck at our desks on a Saturday night.

And what's with all the cocksucking and ass kissing lately.

Black Hawk Down
Today I saw the movie with my family. It was a good movie which probably accurately potrayed how war is like and how the actual event unfolded. Damn I guess a kill:death ratio of 1000:19 is damn good and all (beats my k:d counter strike ratio), but 1209834901 of those mofos aren't worth one american soldier. Anyways after watching the movie and coming back home for 30 minutes or so, my bro and I caught up with Nick, Tom, Will, Willy and Jhermaine to eat at Macaroni Grill. The food was good, and so were the people (person) working there hehe. Hmm, I have to work tomorrow, but what about A Walk To Remember? Didn't I say I was going to see that?

What's with all the cocksuckers now?

One More Semester To Go
Damn straight, today was the last day of finals. There was a heck lot of writing, but I guess it's all good. Now all of us seniors can shift into cruise control. Oh wait, I was already doing that. Well what to do now? Homework? Get out of here. And no you're not going to Harvard here. Hopefully all the grades work out fine, and I end up enjoying this last semester of high school life. Unfortunately today was my first day of marinating, in a bad way. Also I shot 0 for about 12 (or so) from beyond the arc today, and maybe 5 for 25 from the field. Horrible, bad day...both on and off the basketball court =\ . Eat dinner out tomorrow? (no not on me!)

BS
That Lakers at Clippers game was pure bs. Why do the Lakers lose to shit teams? Damn cocky ass mofos. It's okay, Clips wont make playoffs.

Doh!
Damn, I got dick slapped today by my physics teacher. I basically got owned on his final. However some of it isn't my fault because half way through the test the room got brighter...he only had half the lights in the classroom on. So basically that first half of the test I was falling asleep and daydreaming like a mofo. Anyways after that hellacious test we went to A Capella where we basically rehearsed like a mofo. Then I went home and ate lunch before heading out to Office Max to return my NewQ. Tomorrow is government and mcl, hopefully two easy and fun finals.

Tuesday...Whoa
Well let's see. Today I took both the AP Environmental Science and AP Statistics final. Both were relatively easy fo sheezy. Notecard for stat test? Don't even need it. Journal for apes test? Don't need that either. I came home and ended up pulling an iron chef to feed myself lunch. After playing some yahoo pool, Nick and I went to Target. He went to get his paycheck and ended up buying a Cherokee leather jacket and I ended up buying a bubble envelope to mail some compact flash cards across the bay. Anyways Target was cool, as Nick paid a visit to an old friend I made a new one. Now I have to study for the physics final, which I heard is really heavy.

Finals
Finals? What finals? Don't even trip...we're not underclassmen anymore.

Saturday
First and foremost, the football game between the Raiders and Patriots was pure bs. It was clear that the jigga had pump faked the ball and tucked it back in, ready to throw a pass. He clearly had control of the ball. Everyone could tell, well except the blind ass mofo ref who dropped nickels and picked up a dime. #65 in the ref stripes should be fired. Well after showing up 20 minutes late for work, I worked for the next four and a half hours. Same ol same ol over there. Nothing big. After work I headed over to Office Depot looking for a piece of hardware which as expected, wasn't there. I then went over to Stoneridge mall where I strolled around by myself for almost two hours. After spending a couple minutes at the cell phone booth chatting with a friend, I made my lap around the mall. There is one fatty sale going on now. Every store is basically on clearance. I headed into Structure empty handed but left with a bag with a jacket and a pair of pants. I then came home and stopped by Nick's house for a bit to watch the game because I saw some of guy's cars parked out front. At home I ate dinner and finished watching the bs game. That was that.

A Walk To Remember Completed
I just finished the book. It took me three days, and maybe a total of two and a half hours. The story is about the lives of two young people, Landon Carter and a girl named Jamie Sullivan. At first Jamie is looked upon as strange and outcasted. Everyone knows of her, yet nobody is her friend. However when Landon needs a date to the homecoming dance, he asks Jamie because there's nobody left. From there they spend time together and eventually fall in love. Yet their love is a special type of love, one that lasts eternally, even though some other things don't. I found the story to be both very sad and yet joyful to read at the same time. People should not pass judgement on others, because they might miss out on something truely special. The motion picture will be released on Friday, January 25th, and I hope to see it. Hopefully the movie will live up to the book.

Whoa
Well today was Friday, so that was a bonus. For lunch Allen drove me, Chester, Tracy and Rob out to Jack in the Box for some lunch. I must say that mo is pretty damn funny. His driving is kind of whack, but he was yelling at other drivers and callin' out to old ladies on the street haha. Anyways after school I went around a couple of stores to return something, then ended up coming home to eat a little bit before heading back out. I had originally planned on watching the DECA Variety Show, but when I got there it was sold out, so I ended up watching CVHS varsitiy Lady Trojans and men's basketball. Damn, both squads lost by one point in their games. Boo. The rest of the night, as they say, is history.

A Walk To Remember
I recently started reading the book to the motion picture, and so far I've liked it. I'm about two-thirds done, and I can't wait to find out how the story ends. I'm hoping to see the movie sometime next week after finishing the book, but I'll give a short review of the novel when I'm done. As for the day, it was pretty damn cold. But as usual most of school was cool. One more thing, guess what...humans have mouths to help us communicate with, and most of us do just fine. Then, however, there are those who just have mouths.

Alright guys, after thought and realization and understanding the fact that Allen might rape me. Just wanted to say everything's cool now. After all, the room is just to shower and sleep in, and maybe shit in if you're lucky.

A Chilly Day
Yeah it was a bit chilly today. We took the whole second period changing and taking pics for choir. Whack how long that whole thing took. However at the end it was cool and all worth it (nice pics, of course). I then went to Physics Honors where I got a 7 on my multiple choice section, so not too bad. Then I took a makeup quiz for my AP Statistics class during an Advanced Topics period that was roudy and funny as heck. Anyways Nicholas finally presented his mcl project, which was pretty cool and all. Too bad everyone threw their lychee wrappers on my desk (well, not everyone heh). That was that and then after school Chester and I kicked it around the school before going to the stupid rehersal for pops concert. The bastards actually separated all the guys from the gals, so I just slept in the back of the room. Passports due tomorrow! Go to the DECA variety show if you need a passport. Alright peoples laters.

Mr. Moron
Yeah there's this administrator at my school, and he's a moron. Sure I had an altercation with a parked car, and sure he called me in and brought the other party and me together to settle our issues. Now his job is done. Why does he need my insurance information? It his not his job nor his duty to demand that I give him my information that he can't do anything to do with anyways. Then the mo threaten's to have me arrested for hit-and-run. You gotta be kidding me. Then he theatens to have me arrested again if anything comes up "odd." Nobody was hurt nor is there over $500 in damage. A stray basketball could have done the same amount of damage. He then tells me that there's something not right about my parking permit number, saying it belongs to a girl and is "stolen." Give me a damn break here. Then a friend of mine gets blamed because his car was mistakingly pointed out. Gosh this school is messed up. Racial profiling, anyone? I'm about to ask my bro to go to his friend in the Masada, the school's undergound newspaper (and why do you think we need an underground paper? Refer to two sentences prior.) and write about this garbage.

Here's a quote:
"I was trying to penetrate her wall."

"Liking the Raiders and Niners together is like being in the KKK and Black Panthers at the same time."

One Hundred Percent Done
All ten college applications have been completed. The total cost: ten man hours and $ 435. Now the only thing left to do is to cross my fingers and wait until March. Like I said, don't even lose sleep over it. Maybe I should pay for my applications with that money Grey Davis gave me.

Damn Me
ROFL. Damn my ass for staying up this late to do my stupid MCL cultural project that was probably more difficult then I made it out to be. Err. This always happens. But I guess a good "haha" goes to all those people who have to do a term paper for that other english class. Mornin'

Interesting
Well earlier this morning, Daz (Felix), Tom, Chester and I held an interesting discussion in the channel. I admit I learned some new things, and some things that need to be attended to. Daz was basically professing about a whole lot of stuff, with Tom and Chester filling in anything that might have been missed. As for me, you ask? I sat there, took my notes, and read with interest. I got taken to school, and I think it was a good thing. Too bad not everyone took part, as it would have benefited most. Also, the rest of us missed out on where other's stand on certiain topics. Oh well, next time.

Friday!
Well school was school as usual,and like most school days was pretty cool. Haha besides the homework and a few of the lectures being boring, school is relatively neat. After school I ate lunch at Wendy's before heading out to compusa and office depot. Hmm, only one more true week in this semester, let's make it count kids.

Note To Self When I Become Parent
Forget all the "what if's" and stuff. Stop living in fear and assuming worst case scenario. Reminder to self that this is America, young people do go out weekend nights.

Uh...
Damn teachers for giving homework and projects. However, damn us (the students) more for starting it late anyways and having to stay up right now. Yes, it's our own fault. No matter how much work you have, it's not eight or nine hours woth. Give an hour to each a snack and dinner, another hour to shower and what not, and that still leaves five or six hours to do homework. Nobody still get's that much. Take two hours for any extra activities you have to do, leaving four hours. That's still a rarity. So why do we have to insist on starting homework so late? Yet we still do it because we have to fit the model of being good students. What phonyness.

Who hax0red my quote box?

I just wasted 18 pieces of paper printing out some chinese song lyrics for an English project that nobody will look at anyways.

Just finished application to USC. Nine down, one to go. Deadline is January 15th.

Nothing To Do
Well there's nothing to do...I guess I'll nap until the basketball game later. Till then read this article that has been provided been Will. Damn, junior high students. Just to pass a damn test. Like I said forget school, oh wait that's Japan, not the U.S., nevermind.

She's 13 (I think) Damnit

StrikeoutK (10:28:53 PM): too bad we don't talk
Boo. : /

No Homework
Woohoo didn't have any homework today. To keep myself busy I cleaned the interior of my car and watched the Lakers own the Pistons. Too bad the damn Warriors lost again. Anyways tomorrow will be the first tutorial day in a while, so let's see how that fares. Haha with anyone still doing homework right now.

First School Day Of 2002
Well classes were mostly the same as they were last year, some bland, some boring, a few of them cool. We learned about the different theories on JFK's assasination in Government class, and I must say that the whole thing is whack. A lot of stuff is skeptical at best, and a lot of things seem far fetched. Bleh. Then in MCL we started cultural projects, and so far the thing seems tight. There was some food, which is always a bonus, along with a few other things that most likely don't have to be mentioned.

Sunday As Usual
Yep I woke up around 12 PM today since I didn't have to slave at work. I ended up watching the niners shut out the saints. Following that I ate lunch, watched some more football, then eventually went out to the mall to walk around. Many horses. Nothing more after that for the night. Haha one thing though, lmfao with all these procrastinators. 0wned.

Back
Yep I'm back in Castro Valley. I got home about 6:30 PM last night, and the first thing I notice is the janky weather up here. I came from the warm sunshine down in socal to this crap up here. What's up with that? Anyways I didn't do anything last night except eat and shower. One more day of break...woohoo. School's starting! (no sarcasm) Anyways I hope everyone has had a nice break. Time to figure out what to spend my Xmas money on.

A Bit Warmer
Yep today was a bit warmer than the past couple of days. We ended up going to the Hollywood/Los Angeles area yesterday to eat lunch at a place where we haven't been in about seven years. After coming back to the local area, we went to the local mall. Let me say that it is ghetto by our standards. The best store they have there for contemporary clothing is gap and express seems to be the one that stood out for women's clothing. The whole family visited and we all went out to some place to eat dinner and celebrate my grandma's 69th birthday. It's my last full day down here today, wonder what's going to happen.

A Busy Day
Well let's see, I woke up yesterday at 8:30 AM or so, and left the house about an hour later and started heading down toward San Diego to visit a family friend. Let me tell you that area is hecka nice. The scenery is very serene and tranquil. The beach was about a 10 minute walk away from our friend's seven figure house, and the weather was nice. We ate lunch at some French place, and there I learned that his son has a B.S. in double e from Brown University and a M.B.A. from Harvard...dayam! After coming back we stopped at Downtown Disney in Anaheim and walked around for a bit. We looked around for funnel cake, but learned that they only sold those inside the actual park area. Weak!

For dinner my family of fourteen adults and two babies went out to the renowned Lawry's out in Beverly Hills. That place is hecka nice and is right down the street from the Beverly Center. It's a semi-formal place, meaning no jeans , tank tops/athletic wear, and shorts, and I didn't notice any t-shirts. After showing up early for our 8:30 reservation and letting valet take over parking we spent some time eating some meat balls the place put out. We sat down around 8:35, but wanted a better table so we waited until around 9 PM. We started off with a house salad which wasn't too shabby at all, then Kevin and I split a pair of lobster tails. However the main course for everyone was a slice of prime rib, and I must say it was damn good. The cool thing about that place is when right after you order your type of cut of meat, they cut it and serve it to you right after. The family ate about two ps2s worth of meat and seafood, so I guess I wont be going there by myself anytime soon.

Happy New Year!
Hey it's 2002! Woohoo. Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday. Today I managed to watch another movie on TV. Center Stage main plot is the life of a ballet student and all her struggles and tribulations. It was pretty good, and it's a good movie on showing wheres one's priorities lie. That's about it from here, later.
