What's Your Problem?
I was strolling through Los Altos today with a girl friend of mine, and we came across a bunch of cool notepads made by Knock Knock A couple of them I think I need.
I'm starting with this one.... for many reasons....
Then I can see how this would come in handy....
This one is pretty useful around work....
Stuart Smalley.... if people even remember him....
Have this one ready when hanging out with John....
.... Last but not least.... this one has got to be my favorite.....

ok
I need to stop spending that much money.... I'm doing pretty good so far, so I'm good. I need to save up a little bit now to get myself a web host. So I have to save.... about 200 bucks for 2 years. Not bad.... So yeah. Start putting money away for the holidays ^_^
Trying something out....
I'm trying to find a way to share all my photos with ease.... not really finding one right now actually.... but I'm trying to upload random stuff with Picasa... The good thing about picasa is that it finds every single image on my computer and makes it easy for me to find just about anything. I can even blog from it.... like I am now. The only problem is, it's web service only gives 250MB of space... and wants $25 per year for another 6GB of storage.... So I guess this will be my quick album area... probably will use Flickr or something.... I'll figure it out soon...

The Chemicals Between Us
I want you to remember
A love so full it could send us all ways
I want you to surrender
All my feelings rose today
And I want you to remain
The power of children can amaze
Ill try not to complain
I know thats a pisser baby
The chemicals between us
The walls that lie between us
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier place
Than lying in this bed
I want you to remember
Everything you said
Every driven word
Like a hammer, hell, to my head
The chemicals between us
There is no lonlier place
Then lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier place
Than lying in this bed
The chemicals between us
The chemicals between us
Lying in this bed
Were of the hollow men
We are the naked ones
We never meant you harm
Never meant you wrong
Id like to thank
All of my lovers, lovers, lovers
The chemicals between us
The army of achievers
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier face
Than lying in this bed
The chemicals between us

Early Mornings
I got up extra early this morning because I have an appointment for a checkup at 8.
I'm in pretty damn good health, my labs looks great, and I'm actually lighter then 6 months ago. Interesting, because I know I've gain some since my last checkup.... so that means I lost a bit more recently. woooo....
Went to target for some cleaning products and other stuff, petsmart for some stuff for the piggie, and of course a starbucks run.
.... all before 10.... muahahaha....
Now I actually have to do the cleaning and all that stuff.... =P
One really funny thing on my way out of starbucks..... We had a little backup at the door on the way out because we were letting a 2 yr old open the door for himself. Cute. The guy next to me who was also waiting was also cute.... lol. So I kept walking to my car and heard the mother say.... "well I don't want you to walk in the street... she's walking in the street because she's a big girl, the cars can see her.... look at how tall she is..." then I thought to myself how funny it would be if the "big girl" got hit by a car at that moment.... then I realize.... she was talking about me.....

Just things
It's been a little while since I made any sort of substantial post. I know. I've turned boring. The truth is, I've been so busy I don't know where to begin.
School is about to start. For a little while I was pretty excited about it. But the last few days has been... eh. It feels like I've already lost steam. Great. It's only another 19 units for me to suffer..... right. It's going to be interesting leading up to the holidays. I've been conditionally admitted to SJSU. The transcripts are on their way. So it shouldn't be a problem for spring semester. I just need to figure out what I need to take.... *sigh* I hate looking up classes. But yeah... I'm getting things done on that front... which is always good.
I finally really took some time this week, especially today, to do some straightening up in my room. I re-did the bookshelf between my bed and desk. Somehow it makes more sense. And the top looks really great too. I have a cranberry orange large jar candle with shade from illuminations sitting up there... it smells so good even without lighting it. It smells like fall and it's citrus.... mmmmm.... That mixes surprisingly well with my vanilla jasmin home fragrance. Just need to spray some lavender pillow mist.... yeah I'm going to have a sensory overload here soon. I looooove candles. yeah I'm a pyro.
Health wise... I've been trying to do better. I'm starting to make conscious decisions on what I should eat and what not. I'm trying the whole exercise thing again. I've made it to the gym... not enough times. That needs to change. I actually got some really nice trail running shoes the other day and need a good opportunity to break them in... and since I don't have much to do next week, I'll probably go up to Rancho San Antonio on one of the days. I had my blood drawn the other day and the results came back already. Looks like I'm in pretty damn good health. So that's cool. I have a checkup on Tuesday morning. That's gonna be... umm... fun.
Work has been.... busy. I've been trying to get a lot of things done organizational wise. Just trying to make things more efficient and all. There are other aspects of the job that has been very frustrating, namely things that I have absolutely no control over. Sure I would love to get more hours. But when peoples ego gets in the way of that, there's nothing I can do about it. But then again.... I would like to have a bit of time off for myself. I mean I don't mind working a friday night and stuff... having say saturday off would be nice.... I really want to go on that hike.... *sigh*
Personal stuff wise.... I guess I'm seeing somebody.... finally. I guess I've been looking at the wrong place all this time. But I think I ended up with the same type of guy I've always dated. Not like I really remember who they were like... it's been so long since I've gone out with anyone. As creepy as it may sound, I met him online. And my mom is ok with that.... which is not what I expected. But yeah whatever. So I'm attracted to nerds.... I guess I don't have too much to talk about that right now.... we'll have to see where it goes. This seem to have a lot of potential. So maybe.... maybe....

Tools
I am surrounded by tools. Honestly. Some people just needs to be shot. Or be stabbed with this screwdriver I have in my hand.... *rubs chin and ponders*

Sunday Night Randoms
On the background: a steady rotation of Dave, Jack, and John.
In my hand: a Guinness Extra Stout.
The task: throw a bunch of crap away from my room and miscellaneous organization to get ready for school.
Random thought: maybe we can swap tickets with people the day of concert to sit together... maybe....

Ticketmaster Suxorz.... but at least we got seats....
So I hopped on ticketmaster first thing this morning to grab 4 tickets for Bridge School..... and I get nothing??? Confused... tried it a few more times... and realize there's a 2 ticket limit to each order.... sonofab..... Ended up grabbing 1 pair smack in the middle of the venue and another one off to stage left. *sigh* at least we have seats... I really don't want to be on the lawn for 8 hours in the October weather. Keep saying that to myself... at least we got seats, at least we got seats. We'll just have to swap seats once in a while... lol... good times....
And Ticketmaster. You are no master of tickets at all. You suck.

Vultures
Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me
How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

So many things
So many things happened this week already.... lots of ups and downs for me already. I'm still pretty confused... but have gained a new perspective. So let's hope the rest of the week runs smoother. I'm not going to pursue it. Whatever happens, happens.

Just a few pictures from my phone... Nothing tooooo special.... I was sober enough to take these. Will try to upload the two reasonably good clips later.
Still pumped....
I got so pumped from last night.... I got up and ran 2.5 miles... and am sipping on a venti-quad-nonfat-no whip-pumpkin spice-latte..... yummy...
Best... Concert.... EVER!!!

All Very Hot
Ah... this kind of thing usually will fly when it appears around my work.... but from Arnold? lol.... this is good....
*****************
"I mean Cuban, Puerto Rican, they are all very hot," the governor says on the recording of a closed-door meeting obtained by the Los Angeles Times and made available on its Web site Friday. "They have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that together makes it."
The six-minute tape was made earlier this year. On it, Schwarzenegger and Chief of Staff Susan Kennedy speak affectionately of Republican Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia and speculate about her nationality.
Garcia, who is Puerto Rican, told the Times the governor's remarks did not bother her.
*****************
Yeah, if I'm her, I won't be offended either....lol

ticketed....
I friggin got a moving violation today on my way home. wtf. first ticket ever... I've been driving for how long? like 9 years... friggin pedestrians.... gah!
Feeling
I woke up with the feeling that I should be somewhere, doing something important. I double checked... and no not really. I don't work for another hour, and nobody really needs me anywhere. So maybe the place is here, and the whole... keep working on my room thing is the thing. Who the hell knows. lol. Maybe I'm turning a little too philosophical for my own good. I suppose this is good practice. I do have to do a lot of writing once school starts. Which reminds me, I should turn in my new availability today...
Look me in the eyes and tell me
I've stopped looking into peoples eyes when I talk to them. I remember doing that when I'm shameful of something. So what is it now? There must be something I'm doing that I'm not entirely comfortable with. It's weird to pick up a physical cue from myself and yet not knowing what prompted it. jeez... what a mess.
the 80's called....
.... and they want their t-shirt back....
I just stood up from my chair to get ready to sleep. I looked into the mirror and this is what I see: me, in a black oversized Journey concert t-shirt, with glasses, and hair pulled back.... hum.... that dated me a little didn't it.... halfly expected Adam Sandler (a la Wedding Singer) to come in and swoop me away.... great.

strange
I have this obsession with wanting to type up everything I read. I never really have enough time to do that..... so I started yet another blog page... see how long I can last. The thing about it is... it forces me to actually read the work... word by word. I'm starting with The Decameron.... just because it's organized nicely, and I'm always interested in Medieval works.

browse
I've been attempting to clean my room lately. I finally got around to open up a few boxes and check out what I've got. What I ended up finding are, among many other things, a few journals I've started. They go for a few pages, usually in the beginning of the year... then doesn't go anywhere. Every single one of them starts with either a resolution or some fundamental awakening. I have a tendancy to trail off. I noticed that with a couple of my blogs also. It's the same thing. I think this is the only blog I have ever started that lasted a whole year. No joke. I'm finally sticking with something? or maybe I'm just more grounded. Hard to say. There are still so many things I'm doing that are wrong. But here I am.... still keep on ranting at the same place.... and there's actually some sort of difference to be felt on this. I know I'm not very well versed at 1:15 am.... but that's as much as I can get out while I'm listening to another 1k songs I found on my laptop. btw... my laptop is not sounding good... I had to back up my data before my baby craps out on me. I ended up finding a whole bunch of pictures and 1k songs I have on here. Good stuff....
