Tuesday Like Any Other!

Any given Tuesday...there are highs, lows and just "meh" moments...what can you do...=P...

Will get back to normal blogs tomorrow...just not in the mood today.

Later days.

My Wish!

My Wish - Rascal Flatts

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

May all your dreams stay big

Later days.

Sleep!

Sherlock Holmes: "And now Watson, I commend to you the universal answer to almost all problems."

Dr. Watson: "What's That Holmes?"

Sherlock Holmes: "Sleep."

That about sums it up for me. Later days. 

This Shit is Bananas!

Ohayo Gozaimasu! Today is just another one of those tiring days. I don't know what it is...maybe it has something to do with the weather or something. Although it's been pretty cold here these past few days...and rainy, but the plus side is that it's absolutely gorgeous on the mountains right now. I can't wait to head up and do some boarding. I was thinking of doing it tomorrow. But I'll have to see when I finish volleyball and if I still have energy to go up. 

So today I was talking to a friend of mine and he messaged and asked me if I was interested in doing "Tough Mudder"...for those of you who don't know what that is...you gotta check out this site: 

http://toughmudder.com/

That stuff is insane. There's actually a part where you run through electric wires...SAY WHAT?!?!? Yes, electric wires...that's crazy. Here's a video of the electroshock therapy...it literally makes full grown men collapse...

Insane!!!

So yah...for some reason I agreed to do this in the summer time up in Whistler. I'm already starting to regret it. But I guess it's a good way to get my fat ass into shape again. Gotta be in decent shape to do this race. 

Not too much else to report for today. Oh, highlight of the night was getting to bust out the Banangrams with my friends. We literally ended up playing for around 3 hours or so. It was a really good fun and hecka competitive but it was good. Won a few games...no where close to a lot though. One of the guys was just ripping it up. He was an absolute beast and sometimes he would just take pity on all of us and rearrange his letters to try and make it harder for himself. But towards the end everyone started to get the hang of it, but he was still just taking it easy on us.

Bananagrams! Thanks Phoebe!!!

Hopefully one of these days we'll get to play...and you can destroy me=P

Got home and decided to do some practice...

Here's just a weird picture that I found on my phone.

My coworkers took it.

This is an ogre that I made for a school reading production on Thursday.

I think that shall be it for now. Here are two songs that I found really catchy today.

Young Homie - Chris Rene

X-Factor Finalist! Very cool story to this song.

Runnin - Doman and Gooding

There's just something that I dig about this song...maybe it's the old feel to it.

That is all for now. Later days.

Forgiveness!

The day started out so-so and turned into a really good night. Thanks Michael and Gary for the great time tonight. It's always nice to end the night with a few surprises, great friends and a few beers. Thanks guys. 

So let's see...I don't really have all that much to update today. Maybe tomorrow night I'll try and do a more complex blog, but tonight I kind of feel just like chilling. Just finished playing SC2 and helping someone through some stuff they are dealing with and now I'm pretty sleepy. I think I'm just going to post a few pictures and jump into bed. Good idea!

Drinks at Biercraft...great place to go with a group for some beers.

This one is a kind of fruity beer...but it came in a somewhat manly glass I guess...

When I came home, Ramses was sleeping on my bed.

Song of the night!

This last one is just a song that my buddy from high school did...I like the idea of it=)

Hmmmm, can't find it on YouTube thingy...but here is the link to the song. It's called "Forgiveness"...kind of fitting title for myself...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_lWVBbXvHs&feature=youtu.be

I believe that is all for now. Time to go make Ramses shove over so I can get into bed. Later days.

Crappy Randomness!

Eccedentesiast...

One of those days, where staying at home in my room is pretty much all I did...but it's better than going out and trying to fake everything. This one is going to be a random blog. We'll see how it all goes.

No real heading needed here...

Charlie Brown, speaks such truth!

...

"Don’t lose a girl’s trust.

Once you do, its the hardest thing to get back. If she gave you her trust you must be something really special to her." - Anonymous --> ...something I've learnt the hard way...I'm sorry...

Hmmmmmm...

I think I should just try going back to sleep...but what's the point, I gotta be up in a few hours anyways. Maybe Ramses feels like going for a walk. He's always good company. Later days.

The Monstars!

"Greetings Earthlings, we have now taken over your radioooooooooooooo!"

Alright! Well now...let's see...haha, don't quite know where to start just yet. Today was a good day. I'll just jump right to the fun times. Got to play indoor ultimate today and it was great, had a lot of fun and pissed off another team. Well not me...but the other team complained about how we have so many players with jerseys, and they've never seen any of us before. Now this is a perfectly legit complaint from my point of view. I've played sports before where other teams have brought out ringers...and it was tough, I enjoyed the competition...but some guy that can dunk from anywhere in the paint...that's just no fun to play against! But I guess there is a slight difference between basketball and ultimate. The people that play in these multi-sports leagues are all pretty athletic and excel in certain sports, the only real difference between them and us is that our throws are more refined, I wouldn't even go so far to say that they're better, cause some of them had really nice throws. Once again, I do think they had a legit complaint, so what they did was complain to the organizer and the organizer came over and asked how many of the 9 players we had were actually from the team and it turns out that it was 3, but because I had subbed for them on multiple occasions I was considered a legit sub and legit 4th player. So we had 5 fingers. The guy continued to ask the head organizer and he asked where all of our players were, and the captain told them either away on business, sick or had some dinner function to be doing. To which the guy replied "All legit reasons, and you need subs to play...so play on!" The other team was pretty upset, and apparently my friends really didn't like them cause they are a bunch of douches who are over aggressive in every sport that they played (which they were, they were throwing elbows and one of the guys just wouldn't stop trash talking us). But I kind of shook it off and just tried to be nice about everything, cause it can be rough when ringers come in. I was encouraging them and everything and it wasn't going out of my way to sky anyone or play extremely hard. I played slack D and just had a good time. The final score, after the hour, was something like 25-18, which is pretty respectable I think. They were starting to catch onto the game pretty fast towards the end. After when we all went to shake hands the trash talker was still running his mouth and saying "Come out to other sports! We can kick your ass in those..." I can't wait for volleyball to come around, I'm going to pack him in the face!

After playing in that time slot, I went to go play in another one for a friend of mine. That game was more intense cause it was against a team that I knew. Turns out it was a lot of players from my summer ultimate team. The team I was playing for was really noob, like I think by half time the score was 10-2, but after explaining a few of the rules to them, they really started to catch on and in the end we ended up coming to a draw, 13-13, which is pretty darn good! The girl who asked me to go out is a national player and one of the other girls that joined us after half is also a national player, and so they had some pretty money throws.  I was going off towards the end. Pretty much skying everyone, it was an intense but really fun game. 

After playing I had planned to walk around the Oval and take a few pictures, but because I had brought Guo (who happened to tweak his groin in the first 2 minutes of playing) and Victoria, we decided to go grab some food...Sooooooooo, I don't have any pics from the oval...but to make it up here are a few shots that I took in my room.

I wish I could have used a tripod for these...but I don't have one, so instead I ended up having to make my own home-made one, which kind of sucked cause it wasn't high enough and it also was on my computer chair, which meant I couldn't actually look through my camera lens, I had to put it on the display screen, which means I couldn't also adjust things the way I had hoped to...so if they're bad...well who cares!=)

My home-made tripod. Not bad...but far from good.

So it kind of started with this...Guile watching Sistars - Ma Boy

Which eventually led to the next series of pictures...

Gervaso eventually joined...

Next the Cameleon (I don't have a name for him yet, but I'm open to ideas)...

Of course Stretch follows the Cameleon everywhere...

Al loves Sistars so he followed...

And lastly George...George loves this type of stuff...

...He also likes to take off his shirt...

So yes, that is all for now. I will retire to my bed so I can rest up the legs. Plyo is killing me...softly...bahaha. Later days.

Just watched this in bed and I had to post it. Enjoy!!!

...I can't sleep...I want to, I really do, but I feel like I have so much regret right now...my heart is stuck in my throat...and yet it feels like it doesn't belong to me. It feels like there's an empty space where my heart should be...I want to talk to someone, but I can't. I can't talk to them...and nor do they want to talk to me...so I'm stuck just waiting... I don't know why, tonight just seems harder compared to other nights. I miss everything about this person. Everything! But I will keep waiting...keep praying and hoping that they don't forget me...and that I get a completely undeserving 9000th try at not messing things up. Just to be able to communicate and talk and have a conversation...*sigh* I want to post this stupid Puss and Boots video on their wall...but I can't...I hate this. All day my brain just won't stop thinking...this and that, here and there...everyday and everywhere. Just got to keep waiting...I just miss her...

Just One Of Those Nights=/

Gotta love the random conversations that you can have with strangers here at Blenz...I fully enjoy them. Just had one with some Asian girl about going into the PDP program and from there it led onto a conversation with her and a bunch of her friends that she was studying with. Always a nice time meeting new people, especially when certain ones of them are pretty much regulars, like me, at Blenz. I don't even know why I'm still here! I'm dying right now. I really should be sleeping or something like that. Today was such a tiring day! I got a decent amount of sleep last night, but my day just felt draining...

Math and I duked it out today...and I think I won! Or at least I feel like I won, but it's a hollow victory, cause I know that Math will be lurking around the corner in a few weeks waiting for another shot with the Champ! Hahaha, I think that's how I know that I'm tired, when I start to talk random gibberish.

So today we had our second day of tryouts at McRoberts and we had around 30 kids show up today. This is my third year coaching McRoberts Ultimate, and this is the first time that we've ever had to have tryouts. I guess we could have had tryouts last year...and probably should have, but it would have been so tough to just cut a few kids, so instead we decided to opt out and just take all of the kids, but that ended up stunting the teams progress in the end. It was too hard to spread out PT and eventually some kids just ended up getting shafted in PT, and at practices that many kids made it difficult for certain kids to get the repetitions they needed in order to excel. So this year we're determined to make cuts...but I'm not looking forward to it. There are so many of them that I want to keep. It's just so hard making cuts. I'm not...CUT...out for it. LOLOLOL! *sigh* so lame! So this year we're looking at taking 12 guys and 9 girls, that already feels like too big of a team, but we'll have to make it work. It's tough though cause there are so many people that are on the fringes and can really go either way. We're toying with the idea of having a practice roster...even though everyone knows that's just a spot to place players that aren't good enough to make the team...and in all cases they are unlikely to get any PT during the season, but it allows them to keep working on their skills and gives them a higher chance of making the team next year. Plus when provincials comes around, we're likely to grab some of them to play, because players tend to either not be able to make it for the whole weekend, or they get injured. Hope they understand=/

Oh yah, we also lost our first game at volleyball today...but not just our first game, our first and second game. I guess when you're at the top you can only really go down. But it was a rough two losses. We were doing really well at the start of all our matches, and we just couldn't close out matches. But it's alright, nothing wrong with losing. It brings us down to earth and allows us to play with less pressure now. Felt so much pressure like we had to keep this streak going. Next week I'm going to be coming back with a vengeance!!! Better watch out, I'll be jumping however much higher (I hope this plyo stuff starts to kick in soon) and swinging a whole lot harder.

Alright, I think I've procrastinated long enough. Time for me to head home and maybe take Ramses out for a walk and see if I feel like uploading any pictures. Just been feeling so drained today. Hmmm, tomorrow I'm going to be subbing at the Oval, maybe I'll bring the SLR out and try to take a few nicer shots. Good idea Mark!

Study Buddy! LoLoPoh!

Thought this was kind of cute. Who doesn't like Mickey and Minnie?

Some friends playing in the Sunday league earlier time slot.

Bill is pretty tall!!!

This shot was taken at work. Kind of like the colours and stuff...

Alright, that's about it for now. Time to go to bed. I'll be sure to take more pictures tomorrow. Later days.

Sleepless in Vancouver

Just one of those days...been up for over 24 hours and I'm about ready to pass out. In around 5 hours it will be Mark vs Math! The ultimate show down. What's on the line? 20 percent and the chance at the champ...not sure what the champ is, but it sounds better if this is a title fight match.

I would love to stay up longer and post pictures and write more or something, but I really should go to sleep. My head is swimming right now and I have a full day ahead of me. Math at 2, try-outs from 3-5, volleyball from 7-10:30, plyometrics afterwards and I think I will just pass out tonight instead of going to Blenz. We'll see though, I know Gary wanted to do something tonight, and Michelle said she was going to go study at Blenz...maybe I'll tell Gary to go to Blenz to chill with Michelle and I'll just sleep...bah, I should get to bed. Night world.

Later days.

Sleeping Before 4!!!!!

Tonight is going to be my early night...tomorrow night is going to be my late night! Which means I should really get some sleep so that I can function and be able to think tomorrow night. This will be a short blog!

Let's see...really there was nothing special to report today. Played volleyball at Cambie again, subbing for another team this time. Apparently I am now officially on the sub list and my number is getting passed around so that I can be called in. I'm pretty happy with it, cause it gives me an opportunity to play and work on some of the skills that I'll need for Asian, and it also allows me to play with a number of different people. Today we ended up winning all our games. I played pretty well, was swinging for the fences and it was working, but I really should take some of it off and start placing my hits and looking to see where the blocks are. Gotta start playing slower and smarter and start to introduce speed and power once I've got the foundations under me again. It's been so long since I've had to work on fine tuning my skills. Developed a lot of bad habits in that time, but we'll see if I can correct a few of them on Tuesday. Oh, but I did feel like I was jumping slightly higher, it wasn't like it was amazing, and my first few hits took some getting use to, but hopefully I'll really notice this plyo program in my vert. Sooner is better than later. This week I'll be doing it on Tues, Wed, and Thurs! It's going to be tiring!

Just messing around with the mixer board!

Last nights party! Here be the Richmond Crew!

Gary was a wee-bit liquored up...

That will be all for now. Short and...short. Later days.

Nerds Are Out To Play!

This blog is going to be short and sweet cause I am way too tired to be typing for long. No real pictures to post today. Just haven't gotten around to it all. I had a crazy busy day. Woke up, did YK, ran a bunch of errands and then had to go and start putting together my costume for this 'Nerd Board Game Night' at my friend Nats place. So went around, got me the suspenders, a tie done all awkwardly, a dress shirt, thick framed glasses with tape in the middle and long calf high socks. My nerd costume was complete! Once I had it all together, I went to pick up Gary, Michelle and Michael, and it was off to the party. The party was...aite...nothing crazy, but if it wasn't for the fact that Gary, Michelle and Michael were there, it would have been a horrible night. For sure having my friends there saved the night. Thanks for the great time y'all and all the fun we got to have chilling and talking in the car afterwards. Some of the costumes were pretty good though. I should really have taken some pictures...I'll see if any get posted to FB and we'll see what I can put together. 

Sad side is that cause I've been coming home so late the past few days, I haven't really been able to keep up with my working out, and I didn't do my plyometrics yesterday...so I might have to try to find another day to squeeze it all in, or just do yesterdays today. Or just forget it all and move on with the next 2 weeks. We'll see...but for now, I think I'm going to call it quits and jump into bed. I'm so sleepy.

Later days.

Bobby...isn't he the cutest thing!!! This dog is around 140lbs, he's huge and partially blind, but the cutest dog ever. He's like a tank!

STARCRAFT!!!! Ugh...so this is how you know you're addicted to a stupid game. Was out with Gary, Michael, Charles, Angel, Amity, Joanna, and Linda for Linda's going away party. We went out for dinner, afterwards it was off to Sweet Confections...or something like that name, and then off to the Flying Beaver for drinks...and all I could think about was the text that I got saying "Yo, you at home? SC2?"...fine it wasn't all that I could think about. But when I got that text, Gary pointed it out to me, and I was like..."Uhhhh, should I go?" Hahaha, but it's all good, I stuck it out at the Flying Beaver, and I'm glad I did. It was a good time. Haha, it felt like it was throwback night or something. The dj was some black guy wearing a bucket hat, and he was at first playing kind of Top40s and stuff, but he played a Whitney Houston tribute track and we were having a good time singing and dancing to that one, and he yelled out "I'VE BEEN INSPIRED BY THIS TABLE!!! THROWBACK IT IS!!!" From that point on it was purely R&B and Rap from the 90's. Everything from Quest, to Will Smith, to Bone Thugs...even SYSCO!!! Who even still remembers that guy. We were having a blast with the dj that that guy started hooking us up with drinks and everything. It was a pretty awesome night. Not to mention that it was a complete meat market there. All in all it was a pretty stellar time and we had a blast. 

Glad you got to come out and visit Linda, it certainly has been a great month. Koto won't be the same without you. But it's all good, you don't leave till Monday, so we got a good two more days!!! Gotta make it worth it!!!

Haha, I don't know what it is, but I've started listening to Korean music...stupid Lor, hate you...got me listening to K-Pop. Hecka embarrassing too! The other day I was at Blenz, rocking it out to my new favourite song:

And it was all fine and no one knew...until someone walking past me walked by and somehow managed to pass by and knock out my headphones from my laptop...yep, so instead of listening in private, my secret was let loose all over Blenz. I didn't know what to do, so I kind of just laughed it off and said out loud..."Damn...well that was embarrassing"...and it really was. But it's all good. If anyone asks, I'll just tell them I don't like the song, I just like watching the girls=P

Alright, I think I should really get to bed. This staying up late is going to kill me one of these days...damn and I still have to do my work out...and my plyometrics...I better have a huge vertical at the end of this all! 

Oh dang, I almost forgot! We had our first ultimate try-out today. Like literally this was the first try-out that I've ever had with this school in the past three years that I've been coaching...and it went really well. It was pouring rain, but we had about 26 kids come out and just get muddy. It was insane! By the end of the try-out I was soaked. The rain just wouldn't stop. Afterwards when I got back in my car...I couldn't feel my fingers! When I finally got in and had a shower, the pain was insane cause of the hot water and the cold...ness in my extremities! 

After try-outs! GONG SHOW!!!

Changed a lot of light bulbs at work today...here they are.

George planking like a champ!

Hmmm, wonder if this will work for me...JK!

But I really do love the Dark Templar line...I'm going to have to use that one day!

Tis all for now. Later days.

Jerry Lin Plays For The Giants...SAY WHAT?!?!?

I'm glad the weekend is here! This has been such a tiring week. Papers, midterms, volleyball, plyometrics...just a tiring week. But the weekend is here. So it's all gravy...(haha, I haven't used the "it's all gravy" reference in ages...thanks Susie=P). 

So let's see. I don't really have much to update today. I kind of went to first class late, I was too tired and couldn't wake up. After that I went to ulti practice, and decided to skip my second class cause I was too tired and I had already missed half of the class by the time ulti was over. For my third class, I had planned to go, but I tripped and fell into my bed and just didn't wake up, plus I had to finish my paper and hand it in online. So eventually I finished that. After doing all of that, I felt like I should go out and do something productive, so went out to a congee house with Michael and Gary and we kind of just caught up and ate food. Michaels convinced Gary and I to give kendo a try. He says they start again in around April, so we're going to go check it out and see what it's all about. He said we can even come out earlier if we want, but we would just be doing a lot of stuff on the side and only really have our...kendo sticks...Shinai (had to google search that one) and be yelling a lot. Sounds pretty interesting and I wouldn't mind giving it a try. After eating and chilling, drove back home and pretty much jumped online and have been playing SC2 for about the last 3 hours...feels good that the weekend here!!! Although I know that this is going to be short lived cause I have so much stuff still to do...and a good 3 more midterms coming up. But those are at least 2 weeks away, so plenty of time to procrastinate!

Oh, one kinda crappy thing...we don't have a shower right now. My family decided we would renovate the washroom and so now we are without a shower. Apparently I didn't know this, but the rest of my family knew, so I came home yesterday after working out and was planning on having a nice hot shower...and instead had to call up a friend and ask if I could come over and use there shower. Good thing I have friends that are still up late at night or else my night would have really sucked!

Okay, I should probably go and get a bit more sleep. I'll leave off with a few pictures from the past few days that I haven't really gotten around to uploading...and still haven't really done the pictures on the SLR...maybe I'll just borrow a friends card reader tomorrow...today...

Picture taken of Lor as we were studying.

For some reason I really like this picture...I think it's the lighting and the colours!

Outside of Waves in Steveston...as I was working on my paper...

Oh, weird thing, so in this picture there's a sushi restaurant across the parking lot (can't remember what it's called) and it doesn't matter, what was weird though was that as I was studying 3 teenage girls decided to climb onto the roof of the restaurant and have lunch...so strange...

(picture is not of the girls on the roof, so don't bother trying to look for them)

Went and played ultimate in a grown up PE-League at the oval. 

It's a pretty good time, this team pretty much only calls me in in sports that I do well at...the pretty much are the team that is known to bring in ringers...

I want to come back here one night to take more shots...it's pretty nice.

At Blenz studying and Angela decided to take my phone and do her own photo shoot with it. Here's the result.

Let's see...I'll leave off with one of my new favourite songs off of YouTube, another one of those Sh*t People Say videos and the last one was sent to me...and is just a messed up video...

Such a great song!

I love the Mexican ones!

I don't know why the guys are all dressed up like girls though...

Stupidity can be kinda funny...but so frustrating too...

Ahhh YouTube...gotta love it! Later days.

Epic Meal Time - Power Level Asian...Fail

I need sleep. I need it really badly. I really shouldn't be up right now...but I am. Just finished having breakfast with Benny at Dennys. Haha. For some reason I find that reall funny. We ordered too much food. And couldn't finish it. Failure to the max. We are not ninjas...we're not even men...we are boys...and this little boy needs to go to sleep. Good night world. Good night Benny. Good night Ramses. Good night Crim paper that I still have to finish and is due tonight.

First blog dome entirely from my iPhone. Right now in bed and blogging. Kinda cool. Later days.

30 Days and 30 Nights

Ohhh, this is my 30th blog. Or something like that. I remember reading something a long time ago, that in order to develop or break a habit, you need to either do it for 30 days or not do it for 30 days. I wonder if this has become a habit now. Haha, maybe I should have made this a weekly blog. It would have been so much easier to do...but I guess I would also have to put more thought into it and make the content more...topic based, or expressing a point...or just less random. But I love random!

Let's see...didn't really do anything special today. Had class, struggled through Math...after that went and did some coaching and after that it was off to play some volleyball. The team is now 12-0 and it seems like the rest of the league is really starting to hope that we lose one of these regular season games. Our last game ended up being a nail biter. We lost an eight point lead in the first set and ended up losing by one point. The second set we blew them away and ended up winning 25-11. The third set was tight, ended up winning 15-14, but during that time, all the rest of the teams were done playing and watching our game...and it seemed like the entire gym was cheering for the team we were playing against. But it felt good to get that final point. I love the intense atmosphere in games like that.

Oh, also got to watch the Jeremy Lin show today. Man, that guy is a beast! He was like a stone cold killer today. The way he called that iso play with just 10 seconds left, took his time...dribbled up to the three point line and dropped that trey on the Raptors...the dagger! The Knicks are on roll. I know it has to come to an end at some point, but I am just loving this ride!

Crazy...and all done in 6 games...:

http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20120215000098&cid=1104&MainCatID=11

So currently at Blenz again. Ernie is here...and I haven't really gotten much work done on my paper. I've read over the article that I am to do it on...but I don't really feel like starting it. I really just want to go home and go to sleep. But that will leave me just tomorrow to write up this paper. I have so many questions on it too. The article is pretty interesting though. It's about gang violence within Guatemala and how it can effect a community, limiting their social and spatial mobility, while weakening their sense of community. While this is being done, it strengthens a gangs sense of individuality and distinguishes them against the backdrop of hundreds of other gangs. So much to do, but so little time. Oh well, I think I'm just going to go home now and call it a night. 

I've been delaying adding photos from my SLR...just been too tired...and I think tonight is going to be no different. Instead I have a video of Ramses...every now and again if no one is paying attention to him, he'll just start barking...kinda like this...

As I was watching this video on my computer, Ramses was sleeping in my bed, as soon as the barking started, his head instantly shot up and he kept looking at the computer screen. So cute!

Oh and sorry for the weird angle, you kinda gotta turn your head...

Later days.

Leon Trotsky Thinks You're Hotsky!

Happy Valentines Day!

Curse you Math! It's not 'math' it's 'Math'! It has it's own identity, and I hate it! Right now I'm at Blenz. I could probably go home right about now, but I decided to stick it out here for another hour or so and try to see if I can understand Math. But this is my break. Math and I need a slight break, we've been spending too much time together and so some time apart to do our own thing is helpful to our relationship.

Right now I'm chilling and talking with Ernie. I call him the dirty, old man that come into Blenz, usually around 4 or 5 in the morning, but I dig him. Maybe I'll try and take a picture of him so he can be featured on my blog. Here we go...operation complete! 

Ernie!

Haha, while I was taking this picture, he asked me:

Ernie: "What would you do if you won the lottery?"

Me: "I'd probably go on vacation, but I don't know where."

Ernie: "Somewhere warm, and with lots of sunshine."

Me: "That would be nice, and don't worry Ernie, I would take you with me."

Ernie: "That would be great, but I'm going to have to warn you, there's a good chance that on this vacation, you might see me naked!"

Me: "...That's exactly why I'm taking you with me..."

Ernie: "Ohhh, you're a sick one, that's why I like you!"

I dig this guy. We always have chill with conversations. Can't wait for when we go out for breakfast in a few weeks. It's always a good time. Maybe the Cannery, or Rickys for some goodness!

I didn't really get up to anything too special today. Had work, went to class, and went to sub for a friends volleyball league out at Harry Jerome. One of these days I'll take pictures of that place. It's pretty cool. It's a velodrome, but in the middle of it are 6 volleyball courts. In high school we use to have tournaments out there all the time. But it was always freezing in the morning. Volleyball wasn't really the greatest. The last team we played against, I almost felt sorry for them...we beat them 25-5...I didn't even get to make a full rotation. It wasn't like we were playing hard either. They were just really new.

Oh, so I started my plyometric program today. It wasn't too bad! Today consisted of:

- 2 sets of 20 Leap Ups

- 2 sets of 10 Calf Raises (each leg separate)

- 2 sets of 10 Step Ups

- 2 sets of 15 Thrust Ups

- 1 set of 100 Burnouts

So tomorrow is my day off, but I have volleyball league, which will be good, cause they encourage you to play some kind of sport on your day off and really go at it. So I'll do that, and then I get to do the the second part on Weds.

Hmmm, alright, that will be all for now. I'll upload some pictures that I've taken over the last few days when I get home. 

So I can't upload the pics from my SLR yet...still haven't found my memory reader. But I will make sure I find that tomorrow so I can. Here are a few pics that were sent to me of the past few days, as well as any pics that I took with my iPhone...I'm so sleepy...Later days.

Prime Rib from Players Chophouse...makes me so hungry. Especially at 5:30 in the morning.

Random picture of a gift box on the floor.

Dinner could by me...Sticky Lemon Chicken and Mash...very yummy. I was pleasantly surprised with myself.

Strange Asian girl who decided to fall asleep on the couch in front of me...thought this deemed a picture...

Just a cool video...

Random...stuff...

Stupid SC2...why do I suck at that game. You know, SC Original, I rocked that game up. Just build lots of a unit and send them out in waves. Do some drops, everything was golden...but in SC2, damn game is hard! Every unit has a counter unit, and you gotta recognize them...that game is some tough stuff. Like there was actually one point where I was actually stressed out. 

I really should go to bed right now. This is going to be a short blog.

So I took pictures at volleyball today...but I seem to have misplaced my SLR cord to load the pictures onto my computer...although the pictures were kind of crappy, but oh well, and none of them are of the team I was playing on. Just one of my friends teams. 

Oh, a side not, gotta make sure that I start going out to play some more competitive volleyball if I wanna be in shape for the Asian Tournament. That's right, there is a tournament called an Asian Tournament...and it is just as it sounds. A tournament pretty much meant for Asians...and one import. It's a pretty fun tournament and ridiculously competitive. First place gets a cash prize of twelve-hundred dollars and you also get a huge box of lap cheong. Never won first place before, but came in fourth three years in a row...just out of the running for some cash. But who knows, maybe this year will be different, we got a pretty solid team and with my buddy from high school being our import, I think we stand a good chance. I guess after saying that, I really should start up the plyo-program...which means, darn tomorrow is Monday, the first day of my plyo-program, I just know tomorrows post is going to be all about pain...

But oh well. I love how my computer runs so much smoother now that it's been reformatted.

Ugh, yah, I think it's time for me to go to sleep. I just realized that I've kind of just been typing out random things that come into my head and thinking that it's golden. Not enough sleep last night, and not going to be enough tonight. Goodie!!! 

Okay, well I'll leave off with this crazy video that was tossed around in my spam skype chat. Later days.

INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE!!!!...INSANE IN THE BRAIN!!!

Beginning of the End

It's been done...I now have StarCraft2...this is the beginning of the end for me. Even as I right this, I'm itching to play it...but I can't right now cause I'm upgrading the patches...22 patches I have to download. Hahaha, I feel like this is going to be my new geek blog...

I love internet memes!

Basketball is the new thing for me...

Oh I also decided to reformat my computer. Apparently my virus scan was deactivated  cause it had expired...and I ended up getting a few viruses. So I spent a few hours backing up my videos, pictures and a few programs that I wanted to keep on to my hard drive and reformatted Windows7. So now everything is like new again. The computer is running a lot nice and a lot smoother now. Which is nice, although it seems so empty. I have yet to put everything back on. All I have right now is...Chrome, Skype and SC2...shows where my priorities are at=P...Chrome was so I can download SC2, and Skype was so I can chat while playing SC2. Also, because I haven't installed anything else yet...that also means that I won't have any pictures coming out today...not like I have a lot, I only really have one. It was of a dinner I made...Sticky Lemon Chicken on Champ...which is just mashed potatoes. Oh well I'll post that picture later.

So today I had the strangest dream. I was in that weird stage of being awake and sleeping...it felt like I was falling down in circles. I was up on a high building, but on the edge of falling and fighting to stay on the building, and when I woke up I had a bad case of vertigo and had to just lay there with my eyes close as I tried to adjust and get up. It was intense.

Hmmm, I don't really think there was much else that I have to update. I'm looking forward to playing volleyball tomorrow. I'm playing with a few guys from this tournament that I'll be playing in during the May long weekend. The caliber should be higher than what I'm use to, and I'm looking forward to having to push myself to perform. I'll try and give an update tomorrow on that and also post up a few more pictures...ya, I'll bring the SLR out tomorrow and take a few pictures of people playing volleyball. Try to stop some motion. Sorry, kind of a lame blog today. But hopefully it'll get better. Hahaha, maybe I'll give recaps of some of my SC games...no, no, that would be wrong and lame and stupid. I will not do that one...maybe just one...Later days.

Love Linsanity - Hate Slow Internet!!!

Ughhhh I loathe slow internet. It's probably one of my biggest pet peeves!!! It's probably a sign that I should stop what I am downloading...cause it's probably going to ruin my academic life! BUT I really wanna play StarCraft II. I know it's going to be nothing like the original SC (which is the only one that I could play), hell, I didn't even do well at Brood Wars...but I can't stop myself from playing SC II. It's going to be awesome...a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of wasted hours...but I'm still going to LOVE IT!!! *sigh* But I still have to wait for it to download...3 more hours to go!

I think I'm starting to enjoy watching basketball again...or at least the Knicks! JEREMY LIN!!!! Haha, not that I ever really stopped watching basketball, but it's been awhile since I've sat down to watch a whole game. Usually I just catch highlights and stuff. But it's hard not to watch this weeks insanity that is J-Lin! The guy is on an absolute tear right now. He's ripping it up. First 3 games were great, like really great...but this game against the Lakers was insane. 38 PTS on 13/23 - 4 REB - 7 AST - 2 ST - 6 TO (sure the turnovers could be better...but it's his fourth start, so give him a break!). The guy is going insane, 114 PTS - 15 REB - 32 AST - 7 STL in 4 games and all while shooting above .500 and leading the Knicks on a 4 game winning streak!!! Linsanity is here...and the best part, he's Asian...AND a Harvard graduate!!! Gotta love this guy! Sure does make watching basketball fun again. Looking forward to his next few games. See if he can keep this up...or at least until Amare and Melo get back...

*sigh* I'll upload a video after this stupid thing dls...

So to kill time I decided to watch Role Models. I dig this movie. It's been awhile since I last saw it...but it's a great movie to just pass the time with. I love this part:

Augie Farks: "Tell her you love her whispering eye"

Danny: [on the phone] "I'd love to see you... and your whispering eye. Alright. Bye."
[to Augie] 
Danny: "Whispering eye?" 
Augie Farks: "It means vagina."
[laughing] 
Augie Farks: "It means vagina."
Danny: "Classy move, man."
Augie Farks: "It means vagina."

So yes...let's see. Didn't do much today. I was fully planning on going to work...but didn't wake up for it at all. Instead I ended up sleeping for...I dono, it must have been almost 14 hours...WTH! But now I feel pretty good. Got enough sleep to last for the next week or so. Actually today was a pretty uneventful day...so I'll just post up some pics I took and maybe head to bed. Fastest way to kill time is sleeping.

My internet is so slow, these pictures take forever to get uploaded!!!

I dig the colours!

New project? Maybe...

Late night snack. I love the way it snap, crackles and pops...yep my house uses 1% milk=D

Going to be going boarding soon...I can't wait!!!

Alright, I'm down uploading for now. The slowness of my internet is driving me crazy. I think I'm just going to go to bed and call it a night. I'll leave off with some some internet gold:

Later days.
