AYEEEEE

Hey guys, sorry about my unannounced hiatus of sorts. I've been a bit busy lately, which has taken time from blogging and what not. Just know that I haven't forsaken you guys! Anyways, I hope anyone has/had (it's a bit late in the day) a great Christmas! Starting tomorrow, I plan to start posting a bit more regularly, so I suggest you guys mentally prepare yourself for the utter awesomeness that is sure to ensue.

So what did you guys get for the holidays?

Pretty Good Day

So, as the title suggests, I had a pretty good day. Ran some errands with my dad, then headed over to Guitar Center to get my cab and some new cables and stuff. That cab was probably one of the heaviest cabs that I've ever had to lift. After that, I went to Target and got some cosmetics and stuff for my mom for Christmas. Women dig cosmetics. After that I went to the mall with my friend Joel because we were waiting for our friend Jojo to get off of work and she works near the mall. I ended up getting a new parka that I saw at H&M a month or two ago. Originally it was 70 dollars, but it was 50% off :) After that Joel and I met up with Jojo and then we met up with our other friend Caitlin. Chilled at her house for quite some time and pretty much just watched the end of Titanic and ate a ton of her food, but that's okay because her house is LOADED with food. Then we went over to this dude Lee's house. Now... I've never met Lee before, but my friends told me that I'd probably like him. That guy was RIDICULOUS. But in a good way. Probably one of the funniest guys I've ever met. Then we eventually left and I got home at 12 and that's pretty much it. Good first half of the weekend for me!

Well good first half, except for I drove pretty much throughout all of the Bay Area today. Not cool, man. I hate paying for gas.

Hoo Ha

Today wasn't super eventful, but it wasn't bad. I went to my friend's house (as I do quite often because he lives down the street from me) and played some Call of Duty. Now, I'm not really into video games anymore, and even when I was into video games, I wasn't really terribly fond of the FPS genre. I've watched my friend Dean play COD countless times and the past few days I've been playing as well and... it's kind of fun. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty pro at wager matches haha. Anyways, I also brought over my bass amp so he could use it for the battle of the bands that was tonight. He had to leave for sound check and I went home. When 7pm rolled around, my friend Kyle and I went down to the performing arts center to watch battle of the bands. Hoooooly crap, there are some crappy bands out there. Most of them weren't very good, but they all have my respect just for going out there. My friends' band, Aviadora, won. Speaking of music, tomorrow I'm getting my new amp at Guitar Center. Ordered the head online today and it should be here by Monday. Getting the cab, like I said, tomorrow at Guitar Center. It's also supposed to be stormy as hell tomorrow... should be interesting hauling a 60-80 pound speaker cabinet to my car in pouring rain. Also, this one chick has been on my nuts quite a bit this past week and I'm not sure how I feel about it. She's not bad looking by any means and she has a nice personality, but I just don't like her that way. Supposed to hang out with her and a few other people tomorrow night... we'll see how that goes.

I hope everyone has a good Saturday!

Edit: Boy, am I glad that Blogger periodically saves drafts while you're writing stuff. I somehow accidentally hit ctrl+w, which closed my browser and I was about to be PISSED if I had to write that whole thing again.

Yep

So I had my physics final today at 12. It was nice to sleep in a little bit more than usual. That final was pretty much a joke. A few days ago, my professor posted up a practice final on his website and emailed us the answers so we could study from it. But our final was also open note... so I just wrote down all 92 questions/answers of the practice final, figuring that my professor is probably just gonna slightly change the problems from that for the actual final... sure enough I was right. Pretty sure I got like at least a 98% on that haha.

On my way home I returned the defective deodorant that I wrote about yesterday. Flawless victory. Got my $4.39 back woooo. After that I ate some bagel bites and played guitar/watched hockey for the rest of the afternoon. I'm going to my old high school's battle of the bands tomorrow... most of the bands are probably going to suck, but my friend's band, Aviadora, is playing. I honestly don't think they're thatttt great either, but whatever. And seeing as how it's technically Friday where I live, happy Friday everyone!



This was basically me this morning before I left for school. Daytime TV sucks.

So todayyyy I had my math final. Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. I didn't really study for it because I'm lazy, but I'm pretty sure that I aced it. In order to end the class with an A, I only needed to get an 85% on it, so I think I'm good. After I finished that I stopped at Safeway on my way home. I got some off-brand Bagel Bites and some deodorant. Random combination, huh? Well, last week I got some deodorant and the little twisty thing on the bottom didn't work... but I had already thrown away the receipt. So today I bought the same kind, and I'm gonna return the non-working one using my more recent receipt saying that it doesn't work. Pretty genius if you ask me!

Anyways, tomorrow I have my physics final, which I'm not stressing about because it's open note. I'll get back to my normal routines tomorrow because I'll pretty much be done with the semester by then. I hope everyone's having a good week! :)


Oh, and I was watching Hey Arnold today, and since that's from my childhood, I thought this would be appropriate:

Aye

Dang it, I was doing a good job of posting everyday, up until yesterday. I was really busy writing an essay for my English class. It was on this crappy book about this antiwar activist dude in the 1960's. I'd say that my essay is about 85% BS, but I don't really care anymore because it's pretty much the end of the semester.

Anyways, I don't really have too much else to say. I've just been studying for finals lately, and my dad has had this terrible cough for the past week and a half and it's driving me INSANE.

Trees

Damn, Christmas trees these days just aren't what they used to be. Today my dad and I went to our usual spot to get a Christmas tree for this year (even though we're not even Christian... kind of strange that we celebrate Christmas). Let me tell you what, the selection this year sucked balls. They had a bunch of trees this year; more than usual, but most of them weren't really that great. We were kind of looking for a smallish/medium sized tree. Not one of those little 1 foot baby trees, but maybe something like 5 feet or so. Most of the trees in that range were labeled as GF and cost 28 bucks. After wandering around for a while, though, I found one of the more expensive trees (usually labeled as FF) that was mislabeled as GF and it was priced at $32. All the other trees around it were $38. So we took advantage of their mislabeling and bought it. It's a little bigger than we were looking for, but at least it's nice. Now I need to get my Christmas shopping done... which is a pain in the ass. It's not that I'm cheap or that I don't want to get gifts for my friends and family, it's just that I don't know what to get. Oh well. Looks like I'm going to get the guitar amp that I want for Christmas from my parents.

Now for a completely unrelated captcha comic!

What are you guys hoping to get for the holidays?

;asjdf;ij

So I just finished watching a movie called Stay. It came out in like 2005 and features actors and actresses that I've never heard of. I though that it was pretty good, despite apparently having a lot of mixed reviews. It's one of those psychological thriller movies that you're confused about the whole time until the very end. Even after it ended, I was still confused. I ended up googling "Stay movie explanation", which gave me a bit of a clearer idea, but there are still a few things that are fuzzy. Gonna have to watch it again.

Anyways, I think I'll go on a bit of a rant. Just a small one, though. Alright aaaaaand here we go. I really don't like dumb people. Of course, I mean that in the nicest way possible. For example, there's this girl that I sit next to in my physics class. She's somewhat cute, and really nice. She always gives me candy and always offers to buy me something at the taco truck. She's not exactly that smart though. In class, we were talking about transformers and how they worked and stuff. And our professor said that we would watch a video about transformers. This girl thought that we were talking about transformers as in... you know... like the movie with Optimus Prime and what not. Yeah... enough said.

Back to the movie topic. What type of movies do you guys like?

Pretty Good Day

As the title suggests, I've had a pretty good day. Before I get into that that, though, I would like to share a small portion of yesterday! While walking back to my school (or college, whatever) from lunch, when I heard some dudes yelling at each other. Two guys (one black, one hispanic-ish) were pretty heated about something and they were getting in each other's faces and pushing and what not, while a few people were gathered around telling them to calm down (which obviously wasn't working) one of them hit the other in the face and then it kinda dispersed as some ghetto chick cussed out the black dude. Then a whole bunch of campus security dudes rolled up in their cars and made a big deal out of it. Just thought I'd let you guys know haha.

Anyways, I've had a pretty decent day today if I do says so myself. It's been raining all day, which is good because I really enjoy rain. I also had a math test today. It ended up being a little harder than I expected but I think I still did well on it. Then I had English and I just kinda spaced out during that class. When I got home I waited for the UPS guy to deliver my guitar. When he did I was prettyyyy excited. Not gonna lie, it's pretty freaking nice haha. After that I played it for a while while watching the San Jose Sharks hockey game. It ended up being a really entertaining game, probably one of the more exciting games that I've seen in all my years of playing and watching the sport.

What sports do you guys like? If you like sports, that is haha.

Hoorayyyyy

Finally broke 100 followers today! Haha I always see people making posts about getting 100 followers, and now it's my turn. Anyways, tonight I was going to go to a promo shoot with my friend's band buuuuut that ended up not really working out because I couldn't get a hold of my dad to tell him that I wasn't gonna be home tonight. My guitar that I talked about the other SHOULD be here by Wednesday, but according to the UPS tracking thing, it's somewhere between Texas and my house (which is in California). The crappy thing is that I'm probably not going to be home when they try to drop it off, so then I'm gonna have to drive down to the distribution center and pick it up the next day. Oh well, better than no guitar. Sorry for the kind of lack-luster post today. Hopefully I'll post something better tomorrow or the next day. OOHHHHH CRAP I just remember that I have a big math test tomorrow. I should probably start studying for that!


The classic:

Lazy Sunday

It's been kind of a lazy day for me, but it hasn't been bad. Last night I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Hangover, both hilarious movies that I've seen a few times each. Then this afternoon I told off my ex-girlfriend, which was pretty good I suppose. It felt good to genuinely not really care about it anymore haha. I guess Forgetting Sarah Marshall rubbed off on me! I then went out to lunch with my dad. Just got some bagels. The rest of the day I spent listening to angry music and briefly chilling with my friend Dean. Overall a pretty okay weekend for me.

How was your weekend?

Captcha Comics <3

Cartoons

So lately a bunch of my friends on Facebook have changed their profile pictures to characters from their favorite childhood cartoons. It got me thinking about the cartoons of my childhood as well. As an early 90's kid, I was pretty much mostly into those old Nickelodeon shows. Shows like Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, Invader Zim, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Rugrats, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Double Dare, GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Kenan and Kel, Dragonball Z, and Spongebob (though Spongebob is still running, most the new episodes are terrible) were among my favorites.

What were your favorite childhood cartoons?
