I know all I've been updating about are my bands recent shows, but it's VERY much worth it! This next one coming up on Sunday at Ground Zero will be much better than the last. We're playing with Isaac Cass' band, Get Back Loretta along with a few other large bands. Come support us if you can, it'd be completely worth it!
Thank you!! =D

Hola,
Don't you love it when you wake up and you can't read a word for like the first hour? Well that might be in part because I'm too lazy to throw my contacts in within that hour. Ha, whateves.
Well I've been incrediably busy, like always. Lately the biggest thing has still be that band. This entire weekend we've been cramming for an acoustic show on the 17th. It's a free one up at the Epicentre, so everytone should go. Starts at 7. A few days ago we actually went and practiced down at Lake Murrey just to get out of the hell hole of Cameron's apartment. That was fun putting a show on for the little kids and swans.
Last night was pretty fun. Brent and I went downtown to watch some jazz at a club named Dizzy's. It was fun to see some live jazz, but there was too much of a Latin influence on it. It got kind of repetetive, so we ended up splitting about an hour into it. I need to go back soon and get some black man jazz. That stuff is where it's at; the OG shit. After that we met up with Matt and Brent's friend, Jessica 2. We all grabed some Yougert Mill and went over to Cameron's, where we proceeded to do jack didily. Went home and slept.
Tomorrow is my b-day, so yay! I'm not going to be a teenage anymore, so that will be kind of interesting. I'm not planning anything on my b-day really. The party I'm going to have is not going to be anywhere soon either. It's going to be the 9th of April... a little far from now. But on that date, my dad will finally be out of this house, and I'll be able to have as many niggas over as possible. I'm planning on something huge. It's consisting of 2 kegs, over 40 people, a few Djs, and a great after party. So yeah, mark your calenders and whatnot. I think the biggest thing I'm looking forward to getting is a guitar. Pic of the day is my dream, hopefully come true very soon...

Wow, it's been ages since I last updated. I'm pretty sure there's been lots that has happened since the last time. Hmm, where to start?
The biggest new element in my life right now would be that I joined a band with some of my friends. We're called the The Good Robot Usses, and we rock! Well, maybe not rock so much yet, but we've been practicing like hell and enjoy every minute of it. So basically my Fridays and Saturday are now caught up in the practices up in Poway at our bassists, Brian's house. Luckily his parents are generous enough to let us borrow their garage. We're thinking about playing a free acoustic show at the Epicenter next month sometime, so I'll keep everybody updated with that when I get more information.
What else....
I've met some cool people on myspace; I know that sounds kind of weird. I went up to Irvine last Sunday and met a girl named Stephanie, and surprisingly she wasn't a fat 40 year old man. =P We had a good time watching Hide and Seek and eating out at the California Pizza Kitchen. I swear, that place rocks. I need to find one closer to my house, other than the one that's way up in La Jolla.
School is always part of my busy life, blah blah. I hope to see more of your guys sometime soon. We all need to go out to the desert before the next time it rains or something; it's been forever!

You Are 23 Years Old |
23
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

I haven't been updating in a long time, but I'm still alive and kickin', so leave me alone! =P
Today was nice. I took Rachel out for her b-day to the car show downtown around 10ish. It turned out to be not as big as we thought, but nevertheless we had a blast. By going there, I have been kicked in the ass once again to strive and make tons of money later in life. Muhahahaha! We split from there around 1 and headed up to Julian to chill. Indeed it was mighty chilly, but we think that everyone there made it out to be worse. What wimps! We hit up the Cider Mill so she could buy some goodies for her mom and walked around until it started to rain. Got some La Posta, finally, since it was closed last night and we were bummed.
Jay's New Year party was pure nuts; at least through my glazed over eyes. We got there around 10 and began drinking once we were pointed towards the keg in the garage by a funny Asian guy with a really bright tie. That guy was hilarious. Jay's brother was a pretty good DJ too, and all oh their friends up there were completely accepting of all the Spring Valley crew. I started out by drinking some of the Coors in the keg and finishing off the Bud bottles that I brought. During all of this I took a few shots with Rob of good 'ol Jack Daniels and Capt. Morgan. I knew I was mixing my alch pretty bad and seriously didn't give a shit. I knew I was going to feel like crap the next day, but nothing too important was going to happen. Around the time '05 was to be rung in, I was handed a bottle of Andre champaign. That stuff tasted really good, but I have a feeling it was some cheap stuff. I think some wine was flung my way; I basically drank whatever was headed in my direction. My goal for the night was to get as drunk as I have in a while and try not to remember anything. Well obviously I didn't completely succeed, but that's alllllll fine. I don't remember the ball dropping, but I remember our countdown and me standing on the table with some huge bottle in my hand screaming, "Happy New Year!" After that is when it went downhill for me. That's where I stopped drinking... I think, but Jay's backyard became my best friend. I think I spent about an hour or more out there freezing my ass off. I ended up covered in mud all over my shoes and realllllly wasted. Rachel called me up around 1ish AM and talked to me for a bit. She got to hear how messed up I was. I guess I was saying some crazy stuff like, "OMG, my pants are soooo messed up! I love them!!" haha, I don't remember that though. That was really nice to hear her voice, but I think I kicked her off the phone because I was about to get down and dirty.... with the ground. Puke puke puke... YAY! I finally got enough energy, or something, and walked through the masses of ppl. I remember stumbling the most I've ever done, it was great. Somehow I managed to find Jay's room and a nice little clean area to pass out on. That was a reallllly nice and hard carpet. ;) The only time I remember waking up was when Jay opened one of his drawers and completely smacked me on the side of my head. I'm surprised it didn't leave a mark, but I know that if I wasn't drunk it would have hurt soooo bad. The rest of the night I was just flat out.
I woke up in the morn to find a random bra kicking it a few feet away and a huge pile of puke chilling to the right of me. I was covered in white towels, supposedly dirty. But thank you to Buddy for trying to cover me, I was freezing! I guess the bra was from Kirsten changing or something and so was the puke. Man, that stuff was REEEED too, so that must have been a lot of freakin' wine. Pretty nasty, but it was a nice splatter shot on the wall too. =P The house was completely trashed, so we did our best to help clean up all of the random bottles and cups. Thank god for steam cleaners, because they were definitely needed! The rest of the day consisted of me being a bum and sleeping most of the day. Dealing with my nice hangover that I expected that lasted into that night. LAME!
So that's my life right now. Ain't it grrrrreat? I have to start up school tomorrow, so that's lame as well. My class doesn't start until 12:30, so I guess it's not too bad.

Today was pretty cool. Like I thought would happen, my mom called around 8 to get my ass out of bed and go shop with her. We mainly went out looking for some good clothes for the company dinner party tonight. We hit up every store in the world, but I got some good stuff. I used a gift card to Sun Diego from like a year ago. I'm surprised the thing worked; I got some hat. My mom and I met up with Rob at La Posta and chatted and ate it up. Later in the night my mom, Kevin (her husband), and me headed down to the steakhouse downtown. It was pretty fun because I met up with all the guys that I used to work with in La Jolla over the summer. They were totally cool and we all chilled in the back table. Of course our table was like the loudest, and whenever there was a speaker they would have to stop and wait for us. Muhahaha. We had a gourmet meal: a fatty 1.5" thick steak, potato, salad, chessecake... ooomg. I was in heaven.
That's about if for my day. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with some friends tomorrow since plans with Rach kind of fell through, but for a good reason. I hope she feels better. Give me a ring if anything goes down.

I'm starting to get into the habit of updating everyday. I guess it's a good thing, I dunno.
Today was another day at work. It was much more chill than yesterday. I dicked around my mom's office in La Mesa for a good hour or two doing nothing and getting paid for it. Only the best. I ended up having to drive back and forth from downtown to Spring Valley a few times lugging file boxes around. Easy work, but I got tired of driving. I got to drive one of the carpenter's huge Jaynes truck; I felt all manly-like. Ha! So yeah, dickin' around and eating mexican food in downtown, good time.
Later on I met up with Jay and Rob up in La Jolla at the California Pizza Kitchen. On the way there I was so beat (hence all that sleep I still haven't made up) and ended up swerving really bad into a lane next to me. No cars or course, but scared the shit out of me. I was awake after that you'd guess. Pizza was good, they had some crazy choices on there. Who'd think of carne asada on a pizza? We didn't eat it, but that sounds nasty. We chilled for an hour or so and I came home. Went to the gym, blah blah, I was bored of course. Pete came over for a bit and we played CS for the first time in ages. I doubt I'll be hooked ever again, but it was really fun. I'm dead tired, but I'll probably be rudely awaken tomorrow by my mom to go shopping with her. Bleh. Oh yeah, I have a really cool company dinner I was forced into, yay. Sooo fun, not. We'll see how that goes.
Night.

Journal Time... la la la la
Wow, that was pretty flamboyant of me!
Today shaped up to be much different than how I thought it would be. Originally, I was planning on sleeping in to about 11 (that's a longshot) and try to make up for those 16 hours of sleep I missed while I was in Vegas. Well that got cut short at 8:30 when my mom called my cell phone and said I need to get up and go work at her office downtown. I'm now coming to the realization that I'm never going to get those hours back because there will always be something or someone holding me back. That's alright though, everyeone will just have to deal with me acting in a half asses awake manner.
Around 9 I headed down to my mom's new downtown office to start the work. They had me doing a lot of bitch work like taking off the mud from the drywallers on the window sills. Bleh. The rest of the day I taped off all of the hanging ceilings for the painters tomorrow. Woooo. At least it passed the time really quick; it didn't feel like I was there long at all. Tomorrow I'm going to work over there again, possibly into next week. I hope so, this is a good chance to make a little dough.
I got home around 5ish after dealing with all the crappy traffic. I ended up doing jack crap tonight; there was nothing going on. So that really sucks. I went to La Posta for some late dinner and the guy down there said "what's up?" "blah blah blah". That's cool when they notice that you come in like every damn day of the week. =P I went to the gym later and got my sexiness flowin'. ;) Once again, I worked out until I couldn't feel anything, isn't that the best feeling in the world. yay
Tomorrow I made plans to eat dinner with Rob and Jay up in La Jolla. I want to do something later on too, I don't want a Friday night to just slip away so easily.

Today marked the end of the semester. All in all I'd say I impressed myself a lot. I took my first two finals (Trig and English) on Monday and I think I did pretty good on both. I looked up my Trig grade last night and I ended the semester with B, so I was happy about that. Anything B or higher is for me. Ever since I've been following the TAG program for transferring to UCSD, I've been completely watchful over every little thing I turn in. So far so good though. They are calling for about a 3.2 or 3.5 or something; either way, I'm above that.
So last night I was completely freaking out because the study guide that I got for my College Algebra class had all of these word problems that I had no clue how to work out. I was shitting a brick left and right, and I think everyone in the world heard me bitching last night. Geez, that doesn't happen too often. I was feeling really overwhelmed until Rachel and her friend Diana showed up and caught me off guard. That was really cool though, it gave me some time to clear up all the jibberish that was floating around in my knoggin'. The three of us chilled around my computer.... haha, how lame... and talked about random stuff. It was really fun. A little later on Brent and his buddy Lewis came over and talked about skinhead history and groups and whatnot. I found that really interesting; there's a lot of stuff around me that I've never heard about. I wish I could just learn so much and sound intelligent around others, but that doesn't happen too ofter. =/ Everyone split from my house not much later and I continued the studying. I got really fed up and felt like I did everything I could before I would throw my TV through my window.
I woke up this morning around 9ish and got a little more studying in. Yeah, I sound like a huge nerd, but whatever. I think I ended up playing some guitar along to some songs I have on my comp; I've noticed that it helps me loosen up a lot and just feel good. That reminds me, I realllllly need to play more. I went to school around 11 to take the final and found out that it was much easier than I anticipated. Compared to the 20 word problems on the study guide, there were only like 3 on the test. I ended up only being able to do one, but I think I beat up all the other ones. I'm guessing I pulled a C or a little higher out of my ass. If so, then I'll pass that class with a B as well. If so, I'll be on Cloud 9 and kissing my dog, tongue and all.... no joke. I know you're all jealous!!! =P
Later in the day I went to the gym since I haven't been there in a week. I worked out for an hour or so until I couldn't feel my arms and legs anymore. While I was there, I was lifting some 40 lbs weights to do some shoulder work and I messed with my back again. It's been killing me ever since Vegas when I had to jump up really quick to dodge a firework being thrown at me. I've been feeling like a tweaker because of all the ibuprofen I've been taking. I hope this isn't something that stays with me for a while. After that I cleaned out my truck and made it purdy. It's been months since it's actually looked and smelled beautiful. Lame Joe, LAMEO!! heh I'm done, I feel like I'm rambling.
Night all.... I'll probably write a long entry about Vegas tomorrow. BTW, I posted about 130 pics from Vegas on my blog on myspace... http://profiles.myspace.com/users/265037 check it out.

Dayum, I"m pretty messed up right now. We stayed up until about 6am drinking coronas and watching cky vids. We've been roaming the streets of Vegas, mostly the strip until about 2 am. Our little hangout so far has been this karaoke place in the imperial palace on the strip. last night we got kiicked out because we're not 21, of course. but it was sweet because i was the only one out of the group that was passing for 21 and getting coronas. it's all in the facial hair. haha. omg, this place we're staying at is pretty ghetto, cop sirens all the time. we're about to make a little road trip to porump, like 45 mins away. and it's like 7 and we've had no sleep all night. yeah ya!!!! till next time, no pic of the day homies.

YAY! So in about six hours I'll be heading out on a plane to Vegas to meet up with four of my fellow chums. We're gonna have a hell of a time out there. Probably full of drinking and whatnot. Hopefully I don't do anything stupid like get a tattoo while I'm messed up. Ha! That won't happen, but yeah. We have this rental car already, and it's like this cheap ass Kia Rio. Check out my pic of the day to see what we'll be pimpin' it out like. Haha, a bunch of white guys and a Mexican in a pimped out car rollin' down the strip, we're gonna get shot; just watch! Tupac style, nigga! =P
I'm going to take mounds of pics out there, so I'll have many PotDs to come for a while. Maybe I'll update while I'm out there if I find some time. See y'all later around Sunday.

Today was decent. Nothing really happened. It was a beautiful day, I wish I could have just gone out and drove somewhere, like the mountains again. I really want to see the snow up there, but I don't think I'll have the chance. Tonight's been a lot of cramming in homework because Buddy and I are going to go up to Big Bear tomorrow and get a day of snowboarding in. So far I've had to revise 2 essays, complete a take-home math test, some other math worksheet, and some other crap math homework. I'm about to go nuts, but I've been taking little 15 minute breaks to bust out some guitar skills with some hardcore. It a good little way to release some tension. Oh yeah, and I've been feeling better, I just had to get out of the house the other night.
Haha, I didn't write about it yet, but the other night I met Rachel down at this coffee/ hookah joint called Oasis in Bonita. Well they were all blasting some pretty homo rap and ended up demanding a buck at the door. All we wanted was some coffee, and me a damn Italian soda. =P I'm never getting that again, that made me feel so flamboyant. So yeah, it looked like a smaller TJ type club inside because everyone was kind of dancing. There were these little dance-offs in the middle of the floor and everyone was trying to show each other up. That was kind of amusing, but nevertheless, it was no bueno. I was saying how dumb all these Asians were but Rachel told me to stop. haha, I probably would have got my ass kicked. Dayum. So yeah, I thought that was kind of cool because I've never really seen anybody "battle" dance style. hahaha, I guess it was really worth that extra dollar.
So tomorrow Buddy and I are going to leave here around 5-6AM to head for the Big Bear slopes. There's supposed to be tons of snow up there, so I hope it's going to be worth it. One thing that we're worried about is the possibility of snow while we're riding, that wouldn't be too pleasant. But that's no biggie, I'm sure this little day trip for the two of us will rock our socks off. haha, speaking of socks, I wore my red and black pirate socks to school, it was a little chilly.

Yesterday was fun fun. I had to get up at 5AM to head to work. The day went really quick because it was like non-stop work, but it was all good. I wish I could stick around there a little longer and make some easy money, but school's more important I guess. Last night I had dinner with my mom and Kevin and then headed out to La Posta to hang with Des and Buddy. We all ended up going over to Matt's to hang around the long lost fire.
A couple days earlier Rachel, from about six years ago in high school, msged me online. So I called her up and brought her over to Matt's for the night. That was really cool to see her again; it's been soooo freaking long.
Today I ended up waking up around noon. I hate waking up that late, it makes me feel so useless. It was nice having the change to catch up with sleep and all. And waking up to rain is the best, I love it. *contact is falling out, damnit* Alright, all better. So after risin', I went to La Posta for the 3rd day in a row and had lunch with Robby. We had some good laughs there about the Marines and all that jazz. He left and I saw that Rach wanted to hang, so we ended up meeting up and taking a nice drive through the mountains. We also had a lot of good laughs and conversations. She's a really cool girl, gotta hang with her more often. I took her back around 6ish and here I am, as the bum I am about to write some essays.
For some reason I'm not feeling the best, like mentally. I'm kind of down just because it feels like I don't so much. It's like I don't feel like I'm productive enough and hanging out enough, and when I'm like that I go crazy. Ugh. Don't get me wrong that hang out with everyone isn't fun, it's just... ugh, I don't know. Hopefully that Vegas trip next week will bring me up. Alcohol solves everything, right? =/ Didn't think so. I love talking to myself, bah. I'm still procrastinating, I need to work. Oooh, but dinner's ready, there's some more time for me to stall with. God, someone needs to kick me in my ass!

Today was pretty good. Kenyon and I had to do this debate in English class, and I'd say we lost. We were on the of gay marriage and we had to go against it. That was kind of hard for both of us since we are pretty much for it, in one way or another. It was that and like two others from the group didn't show, so that really ripped us. Good thing the debate was all for extra credit. :)
After all of that, I got my radiator flushed out at Brian's work. Thanks again, man. It was nice brown and chunky, no bueno. But yeah, that's one thing off of my list.... so goodie!
Tomorrow I actually have work at 6 AM. I'm going to work for my mom's company, Jaynes, again for two days to move some stuff to their new office in downtown. So that will be fun. Around 3ish the guys and I will be meeting up, so that's also something to look forward to. yay!

Here are all the pics I have from the camping trip. I got some others didn't get, like the terrible stretch of the S-3. It's evil! As everyone knows, the camping trip was asi asi, so we'll need to figure out a better plan for next time. I'm with Buddy that some needs to be done with the $30. Either I'm going to ask for my $2 or spend it on something useful that will benefit others. $30 should not end up in one hand. Anywho, here are the good....
