eventful holiday week
hello everyone. it's been awhile since i last updated this blog, but i feel like it is appropriate because this week is ending soon (and i don't want it to ;[).
i'll just give a brief summary of the days of this past week.
monday:
i went to psych. class and didn't even bother going to computer class. after that, i practiced guitar nonstop for the next day.
tuesday:
had to be a highlight/all time low for the week because this was my first ever concert (open mic). i picked up some friends, including our second singer. i left one of my friends (who i really don't like anymore) behind at his college, while i picked my other friend up who goes to the same college.
hours passed and there i was, playing guitar in front of people. it was really scary when i played the first notes (i messed up quite a bit because my hands were shaking). after that, we felt as if our band had to be one of the worst ones there because of our singer (and our lack of a drummer, bassist, and keyboardist that day).
wednesday:
i was still despondent over the failed concert. i blame it all on the terrible singer we had (if you saw him, you'd 100% say that his singing is awful).
thursday:
thanksgiving celebration at my cousin's house. all my cousins were there as usual. also, youngins these days are getting boyfriends and girlfriends at such an early age. it's scary to think about it (i still wished i had a true love, maybe it could be you, mlq(ss)).
we had our own turkey, but cooked properly this time with stuffing. it was delicious! i also devoured a good amount of pumpkin cake cream cheese roll (so good). however, during most of the day, i played guitar in front of my cousins and helped some of my older cousins learn beginner chords.
blk. friday:
i don't like black friday. i was going to buy a sweater, but i changed my mind. i went with the kid i left behind at his college (i don't know why). but here's the gist. the only reason why he wanted to hang out was to play fallout 3 at my house (and possibly get free food from me).
i mean, how ungrateful can you be? that's all you want from me? is to play my xbox 360? afterwards, he also used me to go to stores in order for him to buy his psp for himself. i didn't even get gas money from him. i mean, i probably wouldn't care if i lived really close, but i live really far and he knows that too, but doesn't even bring up the topic of owing me gas money.
i'm fed up with that kid.
oh yeah, i also taught my friend dani how to play the L theme on guitar, as well as tune it. through skype webcam chat. i really want to teach people guitar, haha.
saturday:
so i saw seven samurai today. such an amazing movie til today and had to be the greatest of its time. don't watch that samurai seven anime because it doesn't compare to the actual movie. kikuchyo is one hell of a character and samurai.
i also worked today and the person that i like, mlqss, wasn't there. i was a bit let down, but i kept on moving. maybe tomorrow, i'll be able to see mlqss again. i hope that i gain the confidence to ask this person out one day…
the present:
so that was my week. finals are coming soon, so i better study like hell.
question of the day, that you don't have to answer if it's too personal. if you recently had a huge crush, what was one thing that you regretted doing or not doing?

overlook
hello everyone! it surely has been awhile, but it has been a ride for me these past few days.
i had to make huge decisions such as deciding what i will actually major in… and more personal stuff that i will get into some other day. right now, i kinda don't want to think about it. i'll focus on the small thangs now.
in a few days, i will be playing guitar with a band for the first time in front of a small crowd. we've been practicing for days and we think we got it right. i'm also getting better at guitar the more i play, which is good for me. ;]
is it weird that i'm not too nervous? well, my friend ryan is nervous because he does vocals and plays guitar at the same time, but i want to be there when he finally reveals this band that he's been working on for ages.
other than practicing and hanging out, i haven't been doing much. i finished avatar: the last airbender a few days ago and loved the ending. some plot holes could've been filled, but i guess they had no more episodes left to fill them. i'm also gonna finish gurren lagann tomorrow, which i'm kinda sad/excited about.
hmm, what else. yeah, notice that i'm watching more anime as usual these days. i might get back into air tv sometime since i finally got netflix on my xbox because of the new update. i also just saw the best student council, which i currently don't like, but i'm still somewhat interested to see how the 2nd episode goes. (i'm still waiting for netflix to ship code geass, grr)
i'm also reading rosario vampire, notice not watching, because this guy who i met up on the community chat, delitor, told me to read it instead. i've heard things about the rosario vampire anime and saw pictures, realizing that it looks really really fanservicy, which i don't like. the manga is subtle in that, which is good.
onto movies, i saw 28 days later, which was okay in my opinion. i didn't think it was that scary, but it was more cringy. esp. at this part where this guy got bit in the arm by a zombie and blood just kept pouring out. i just didn't want to imagine my arm bleeding like that, haha.
well anyways, i might watch dr. strangelove in a bit. another kubrick classic that i've heard many things about. i really want to see clockwork orange when it hits my queue. i'm also receiving memento in the mail tomorrow as well as the last gurren lagann dvd. i'm excited!
anyways, i'm done raving over movies and anime.
although, i'm excited about receiving my saber figma. since saber has to be, imo, one of the greatest anime heroines ever.
hmm, on the topic of figurines… Question of the day: if you are into figurines, but never had the cash to get one and you finally had some cash on the side leftover from shopping, what character figurine would you get?
i have 2 kos-mos gashapons, haha.

hello everyone.
right now, i'm not in the best of moods, nor the worst of moods.
i have no idea what to feel right now, to be honest.
i seriously hope that this passes away tomorrow because i really want to sleep on it.
there's just a huge rush of things going on through my head. complications and stuff that just makes me go crazy. questions, questions, questions, it's a nightmare.
i feel as if i don't belong anywhere, but i truly haven't experienced anywhere yet. i joined this one club in college and it felt like a closed net of people who were the same race as me. i just didn't belong.
i joined the video game club. it was cool at first, but after awhile, i got tired of it. some people were nice, but i really felt out of place.
yes, putting yourself in new situations will give you experience, but i'm really afraid of trying again. i have all this knowledge of things, yet i've never truly experienced or initiated the process to get them.
i hate the cliches of college life
i hate those who are blindly popular
i hate those who physically look down on to people
i don't know what to do.
i hear advice telling me to relax. i try to relax, but isn't it natural to feel like you don't belong somewhere?
i wished i knew the answers………
mary.
i don't know if i still like you or not.
but i need anyone's company…
sorry for being too personal.
goodnight.

top of the morning to all yall. western talk yet again infused with some irish talk. dunno how that happened, but it was the first thing in my head!
anyways, thanks for the comments about the political thing. i wished that i had more time to comment you guys. i think i will right after this post since my mornings on thursdays are usually free, but the rest of the day is hectic.
so yeah, this election system is biased against the third parties and it's ridiculous how the other parties are being bullied around by the dems and reps. and people call this system democratic.
anyways, so barack obama won. first black president ever. i'd say that's an accomplishment for our country, to see past the racial divide… but how is he going to lead our country in the long run? i can see why his supporters are filled with hope because he has a way of talking to the people that inspires them.
enuff with the political talk. i want to get back to my life because i really haven't been in the best of feelings lately. i've been waking up with migraines for days now. maybe it's from my lack of sleep (i've been playing a lot of fallout 3 lately, haha). i've also been feeling really unhealthy since i haven't done any exercises at all for months. i got back into it yesterday and i'm really sore (thanks gilad)!
ive also been watching more avatar. i finished season 1, which was pretty good, but i think season 2 is even better. you guys need to watch it if you haven't seen it. even if you hate nicktoons, look past the nick boundary and check this awesome series out (toph is brilliant!). im going to receive the last few dvds of avatar in the next few days and i'm really excited! so watch it, because it has one of the best storytelling i've ever seen (if they had this around when i was a kid, i'd be extremely obsessed).
i feel like i need to do something new again. i need to get myself out there. hopefully on friday, when i have band practice, i'll feel a lot better. college hasn't been cutting it out for me, that or i haven't been cutting myself into the college community (since i'm a community, despite my short distance from college). staying inside for awhile really gets to you. it's like being trapped inside vault 101 in fallout 3. i have the feeling that it's not good for me. well, i'm going to go see a play tonight. i need air.
anyways, i think that's all for now. i have a lot more to talk about soon. after typing this whole block, i feel as if i either think too much or enjoy life with all of these thoughts and events in my head. the brain is such a wonderful thing.
so! question of the day!
who's your current favorite fictional character in any series (can be anime or an actual tv show such as heroes or the office)??
right now it's toph from avatar! she's a blind earthbender who can see by feeling the ground and whoever is on it with her feet. she also has amazing hearing. i wished you guys watched avatar, it's really good!

voting and me (maybe you)
hello everyone. it's been a few days and a lot of stuff happened.
i'll talk about what happened these past few days later on, but now is crucial… well, i wouldn't say crucial, but it's my opinion on things such as today's current event, the election.
i just want to say that i'm voting for neither popular candidate. that's right, neither john mccain or barack obama, even though reality kicks me in the face, telling me that one of them is going to be the next president. i could keep going on and on about politics (i'm still working on my own stances on issues).
let me just say that this election system is very biased against third parties and competition, especially with the media focusing attention on the two bully parties, the republican party and the democratic party. yes, i know, we've had presidents from either party for awhile, but isn't it time that we are open to revision and new ideas?
you vote for either the democratic candidate, or the republican candidate, but i cannot see a difference on their stance on monetary policies (they don't talk about that). it's mostly political talk about solutions on how to fix this hole we've been burying ourselves into for years on end (boo, federal reserve).
obama is going to bring about "change", but people believe that he is 95% illusion (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122385651698727257.html?mod=googlenews_wsj). john mccain is president bush's third term and he wants to prolong the war (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/mccain-troops-may-be-home-by-2013/?hp). i see no hope in these two candidates, but you never know if the people can CHANGE these guys.
barack obama and john mccain agree on bush's syrian and pakistan border incursions… what are their stances on balancing the ever growing (now sinking) deficit? i really hope that next time, we'll learn who to really vote for (i mean, we still got people voting for mccain). hopefully four years tops, this new president doesn't destroy the country. or vice president turned into president (please do not happen)…
the media talks about voting for the lesser evil, but the lesser evil IS STILL EVIL.
i'm tired. vote third party. vote for the real restoration of our Constitution.
