i am a very sad dodger fan right now.
we just lost out on one good player and one great player. first of all, adrian beltre signed with the mariners. although i agree with depodesta on not overpaying for a player who's had just one great year, i know that this is gonna come back to bite us in the butt just like when we traded pedro martinez for delino deshields. YES! freaking delino "i have ear flaps on both sides of the helmet" deshields.
now the second player is what hurts me the most. we lost out on freggin tim hudson. he would have given us the number one starter that we miss most right now. depodesta, you failed the dodgers dearly on this one. just watch as he tears it up with the braves.
We should buy Paul DePodesta this shirt:
"I went to the winter baseball meetings at Disneyland and all I got was STINKING Jeff Kent!"

if you know me, you probably know that i have a lot of pet peeves. clunky key chains, people that talk a lot, and guys that watch replays in sports games (roy chung) are a couple of them. one that has been bugging me lately is static. i hate it when my clothes have static, and also when my hair sticks to my face because it has static. it feels like i rubbed a balloon on my head, and it really bugs me. when this used to happen i would just go get some water and put it in my hair, and it would usually solve it. but lately static has been crazy to a point where my hair keeps on sticking to my face. it bugs the heck out of me, and i don't know what to do. i think it's because my hair is getting long. could someone please tell me how to get rid of this problem?
on another more pleasant note, i have officially moved into my new apartment with my roommate, the dentist. it's a nice 2-bdrm in carmel valley. make sure to come visit!
and i will soon post pictures of the delicious turkey i cooked on thanksgiving.

I had a nice drive down to LA last week. Here's a quick recap of what happened:
1) I tied my shower curtain over my stuff in the back of my truck so it wouldn't get wet
2) My shower curtain started to flap around in the wind
3) Someone stole a box from the back of my truck while I was taking a piss at the gas station. I know for sure that my blanket was in there, but I don't remember what else was in that box.
4) It started to pour
5) Then it snowed
And then the next day on my way to SD, I realized halfway down that I had left my suitcase with all my clothes at home in Burbank. What a dumb move.
But on the other hand, I'm finally down here in sunny San Diego.
But too bad that I haven't had a chance to explore it yet.

Here's the mighty Cal offense:
We should have totally had that freggin game. Dang it! It's cool though, I had an awesome time. Thanks Weinie!

I just witnessed the fiercest dump ever known to mankind. And no, it did not come out of my body.
I was just in the bathroom taking a piss and I heard someone come in. They rushed into a stall and completed the pull rip place maneuver faster than I'd imagined possible. What is the pull rip place maneuver you ask? It's when you pull out a toilet seat cover, rip the middle part from the outside cover, and place it on the toilet seat. Once you've lived in the dorms or you've worked for a while, you can perfect this move. Anyways, I heard him dropping bombs literally half a second after I heard him rustling to pull the toilet seat cover out. It was amazing. But that wasn't the only amazing part. He proceeded to fiercely, and I do mean fiercely, fire his poo down the toilet. I swear if he was crapping sideways, it sounded like there was enough force to carry his crap at least a good twenty feet. It was that vicious. He then proceeded with the long fart action before next release, and repeated this over and over. By this time I was washing my hands and heading out the door, when I began to hear the after-poo farts that sound like pffffffffffffft. They began to stink up the place so I got out of there. The whole time I wanted to crack up so bad but I had to stay professional and write about it in my blog. hahahaha.
Man, how sad is it that a story like this makes my day?
Sunday, September 12, 2004
I just bought a Jamba Juice for the first time in a while and when the girl asked me for a boost I panicked and said yes. What a big mistake. I was smart though in making sure I didn't get a protein boost, because the one time I got that it made my juice taste like sand. So, being the genius that I am, I asked for some vitamin boost. Too bad this stuff is even worse. My juice literally tastes like phlegm. And how do I know that it's not my own phlegm? This stuff has an orange aftertaste. Blech.

Air Conditioning
After a couple of months of being spoiled by the wonders of air conditioning, I have finally turned into an official pansy.
I have A/C at work, in the car, and at home. I can't handle hot weather anymore. Whenever I go anywhere where the temperature is above the 73 degrees that I'm used to, I start to sweat. My back starts to get hot, and I can feel drops of sweat running down the side of my head.
That's why this weekend was pure torture for me. It was freggin ridiculously hot everywhere we went. I think I lost like 10 pounds of water weight this weekend. It's ok though, I had a lot of fun.
Dang, I remember the days when we used to play tennis in 100-degree weather for hours at a time. Those were the days shek!

This was the funniest email that I've ever read. I started cracking up aloud because it was so freggin hilarious.
This is Elise's response to my post about her incident yesterday. And if you know her and her fear of spiders, it's even better, although I'm sure it's evident from the story.
paul. i f*ing hate you. i hate you. that is so disgusting. i did'nt even read what you wrote becasue the f*ing picture is so f*ing big and i couldn't read it wihtout seeing it. i seriulsly closed it as soon as i opened it. that sucks. that's mean. real mean. i dont think you understand.
waht did you write?
pual i dont think you understand. seriously. i absolutely detest them more than you hate watermelon avocado and velvet combined..and on top of it there's an unequivocable fear factor. no joke.
i got to the parking lot and made jitesh come to my car and look for it. we coudn't find it. he promised me it got out when i opened hte car. we even turned on teh vents to make sure it wasn't hiding. then we watched hte movie and i was soooo stressed out the the whole movie.
but it was still funny. and then i went back to my car and looked for it again. it was not there. so i drove. i saw a spot on my back windshield through my mirror and swore it was it. so i kept my eye on it. then lo and behold...i see it crawling on my dashboard. i think it was hiding
in the defrosting vent. i seriulsy screamed like a man and woman interchangeably. i was screaming for my life no joke. i cried 3 tears. pathetic huh. i seirusly yelled at it and asked it to stop moving becasue i didn't want it to crawl around and on me. by nothing else but God's grace it stopped and sat in the corner. still i was freaking out and hyperventilating. no joke. i got off the first exit and pulled into the first gas station i saw. there was only one lady sitting on the curb who looked like she was crying. so i sat in my car not knowing what to do. i decided to suck it up and go to another gas station. THEN it started crawling across the dashboard up the windsheild of the passenger side. i was screaming bloody murder. still no one in sihgt to help me. so i decide again to suck it up. THEN it drops down hanging on a web and is swinging because i'm turnning. I FREAKED out and seriuously screamed the highest pitch, banshee scream of my life and cried 2 more tears. i stopped my car and didn't care anymore...i ran to the lady and explained to her my situation. she laughed but was very nice to me and killed it for me. she restored my faith of goodness in mankind.
so gross.
this morning when i got into my car to go to work. there were webs all over my dasboard. ok not all over. it wasn't like an intricate web but there were a good number going like across my dashboard and windshield. i drove my brothers car today.
paul i hate them. i hate htat picture on your blog. it hurts me that you would do that to me. haha. but this is all a true true story. sorry it was really long. but i wanted to share wiht you my tragic
night. really paulina...i don't think anyone understands how much they scare me.
HAHHAAHHHHAHHAHAHHAHA. I am very tempted to put that picture of the spider back up again, but I will refrain for her sake. You can also see how scared she was by the fact that her hands were probably trembling on the keyboard as she typed this story, making her misspell every other freggin word. Have a great day!

I was just talking to Elise on the phone while she was in her car when she started screaming like a madman. She was screaming so fiercely that I seriously thought that she saw two cars crash on the freeway.

I think that Paul Hamm has the Mike Tyson syndrome. I guess it's understandable because he's a gymnast, but it was still pretty shocking to see a guy with huge arms open his mouth and talk like a 6-year old kid.

Something about watching the Olympics after finding out the results sucks.
The intro to Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out makes me very happy.
I need to find a new book to read.
Weekends should be at least as long as the work week.
This post sucks.

I think I'm a freak. Most of you probably already knew that, but Tammy pointed that out the last time she was up here.
We were driving in the car when I was singing along with one of my CDs. After we got out of the car, she asked me whether or not I even knew what I was singing. I thought about it for a second and realized that I had no idea what I was singing about. I was just reciting the lyrics mindlessly. What a weirdo I am.
So that's why I'm randomly surprised at how good the lyrics are of some songs when I actually think about them!
At least I know what the lyrics of this song are about!
Weezer - No One Else
Speaking of Geico, here's something from The Sports Guy's column on espn.com. It seriously made me bust out laughing when I read it at work. haha:
Ben Bright in Pittsburgh: Here is a telephone conversation I had with the guy in our fantasy football league who drafted Ricky Williams five years ago and has built his team around him.
Mike: Hello?
BB: Hey Mike, just calling to give you my condolences on losing Ricky.
Mike: Ugh.
BB: Sucks pretty bad, doesn't it. You're out a bunch of money 'cause of him.
Mike: Yeah, now I have to hope William Green comes back big with Cleveland.
BB: Yeah. But I got good news for you.
Mike: Yeah, what's that?
BB: I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico.
Mike: (hangs up)
This has to be one of the weirdest ads ever. And I thought that gecko for Geico was bad...
A comment!
friend: that picture
me: nasty huh
friend: doesnt look like an armpit
friend: it looks like a crotch with his treasure trail on top
me: that's going on the blog baby
me: hahahahha

Shecky Dan and I were watching this guy play the Mario theme songs on piano when we reminisced about the days when our moms used to push us to play the piano and violin.
That shek had piano lessons where his teacher would come over to his house to give him lessons. Whenever she was supposed to come, he would close all the blinds in his house and pretend like no one was home. Hahahaha.
I played violin for six years, and my mom made me practice for an hour everyday during that time. By the end I had the whole practicing thing figured out. I had a small stereo and I used it to record myself playing, and then I kept playing that back while I "practiced" in my room. Those were the days...
We were little sheks starting from the day we were born. hahaha.

I accidentally bought Lime Green Tea Diet Snapple a couple of weeks ago and have been suffering while drinking all four bottles. It wasn’t that bad at first, but now it’s starting to taste pretty dang bad. I was just drinking it right now when I realized that the aftertaste it left in my mouth was kind of like that of sesame oil. Blech.

for the past week I was lucky enough to have gone on an alaskan cruise. it was awesome. we got to do so much fun stuff. i'll post some pics soon. i know that tammy will be the only one seeing this, but i want to thank her whole family! it was great!
here's a pic from the alaskan/canadian border (this was midway through the trip so you can kind of see my fatness accumulating):
i came back up to berkeley yesterday, and i spent half of the day moving into my new apt here in san jose. thanks to billy, kwan, roach, charles, dan, and john for helping me out!!! they had to leave before dinner, and as soon as they left i got pretty dang sad. i didn't realize that i would be all alone until they took off, and so i spent the rest of the night getting stuff from safeway and walmart, ALONE. i hate being alone!
i have a mosquito bite on my left knee, a swollen lymph node behind my right ear, and a scratched up right hand. that was random.
my apt is great. i have my own washer/dryer, and there's also a heated lap pool right downstairs. i went swimming by myself today. it was freggin tiring.
i think i'm going delirious right now. this post is so random.
this was my day today:
9:30-8 work
8-10 dinner/tv
10-10:30 swim
this is going to be a loooong 3 months...

I have some pretty bad luck with phones.
The last phone I had was a Motorola V60. I had to get the antenna replaced 8 times, and I had to get the actual phone replaced 5 times. All of this was within a span of two years.
I’ve had my new Samsung A670 for almost a day now. I have to go get it switched out because the phone and battery are defective. Dang!!!
I’m telling you, we have to go back to the days of pagers.

Thanks to everyone who came out to my graduation!
4 Worst Animals of All Time (would have been five but I couldn't think of one more)
4) Raccoons - They look like they're always up to no good.
3) Crows - They crow like madmen, and they're always hopping around trying to scavenge for free food. Cheapskates.
2) Opossums - I wish I could grab their nasty thick tails and throw them around, but that would require for me to touch them and I'm not down with that.
1) Pigeons - They are the laziest things I have ever seen, and I think that they each take at least 50 dumps a day, judging from how much bird crap is on everyone's car. I could probably write for months on how much I hate them, but I'll save that for next time. They serve no purpose in life, even if they did play a huge role in Home Alone 2 with the pigeon lady.
I hate pigeons!

Just came back from Tammy's graduation. Congratulations to you!!!
On another exciting note, Tammy and I had lunch at Momotaro once again. While we were eating, some white guys sat down next to us to eat. While they were eating, one of them proudly proclaimed, and I quote, "You can really tell how good a sushi place is by how their spicy tuna roll is." Now I'm not a sushi expert by any means, but that had to be one of the top 5 quotes of the year.
I wanted to tell that guy a couple of things:
1) You're an idiot.
2) You can't go to an all-you-can-eat sushi place and only order spicy tuna rolls and california rolls and say that you had sushi.
3) Go head butt a concrete wall.
4) Don't come here anymore.
5) You're an idiot.
I love that place! Yum!!!

I just came back from my last visit to Soda. EVER!
Four years of memories, mostly bad ones, will now stay locked away in my head forever. You know how you're usually sad whenever it comes down to your last anything? Yeah, well forget that player! I wanted to leave everyone with a picture of some EECS girls, but I couldn't find any, so here's the next best thing. Enjoy!

Went home to take care of some stuff but found out after an hour of being in LA that it was a waste for me to even come down. I was sad for 5 minutes but then happy again because I went to go eat lunch at Momotaro with Tammy.
That place is awesome! For $15 it's all-you-can-eat sushi, and it's pretty good too. I ate enough to make myself happy and then called Andy to make sure he knew that he was missing out. What a great friend I am.
I met up with TJ and Butch the next day for lunch, and also later that night to hang out. I had a lot of fun just hanging out even though we didn't do anything. I still don't know why Butch hates Momotaro though, he's pretty strange, and he's a missionary too!
I'm also happy that I use blogger instead of xanga because I now have a Gmail account. Instead of just using my name for the account, I wish I had made my email address: G.Unit@Gmail.com. I think I would be about fifty cents cooler then. haha.
Listened to sports the whole way up so the drive back wasn't too bad.
I hate Steve Francis. He's a good player, but that cocky son-of-a-gun needs to get an elbow-in-the-face from Malone. After he made those RIDICULOUS layups at the end of Game 3 he was posing around like an idiot. I wish Malone had socked him right then. Good thing he missed a free throw and turned the ball over to lose Game 4 for the Rockets. Looks like the Lakers will be in Round 2 to face the Spurs! Bring on Duncan and his team of white outcasts: Ginobli, Turkoglu, Nesterovic, and Parker (he looks white).
I was gonna write about my theory about white basketball players, but I think I'll leave that in my head.

Good thing I was so pessimistic about that speech ... cuz I didn't get it! I don't know why I do that all the time, I think it's to lighten the blow whenever I fail. Now it's time to go play in the last softball game of my college career. Peace!
Friday, April 09, 2004
Well it looks as though I'll be staying up in the bay area at least until the end of the year. That means that I'm going to have to start looking for apartments, so if anyone knows of a nice, cheap 1-bdrm apt in the san jose area, let me know!
I'm gonna be really sad coming back to my apt and realizing that my friends live like an hour away from me. And I'll be too tired to ever go out there to go visit them. So basically I'm going to just be a hermit while I'm up here. Freggin A, I'm getting depressed thinking about it already. Someone move out here for at least the summer please!!!
Now I'm gonna go write a speech to try out to speak at my graduation. For some reason I feel like speaking there would make me feel like I actually accomplished something in college. Too bad it's due tomorrow and I haven't started, and too bad they only choose one student speaker from the whole College of Engineering (undergrad + grad) to speak. Why do I even try?

Ghosts
I live in a haunted apartment. If you've been to our place you know that I have an open view of the doorway from my desk. Once in a while I see someone quickly walk by, but it's weird cuz no one else is home. I also randomly hear footsteps too. This has been happening to Andy recently as well. He sees people walk by the door, and he also sees people from the kitchen. The weirdest thing was that randomly a light fixture in our kitchen just fell and shattered. Anyways, moving on...
Have you went into a car right after running or working out while it was pretty cold outside? The windows around you start to fog up because your body heat is trying to leave, and so moisture condenses on the windows. You first need to understand this before you'll appreciate the rest of my story.
I was driving to work yesterday when I saw something really weird. I was reaching over to grab something from my backpack, which was on the passenger seat, when I looked up at the window. I was shocked. I looked back over at the window on my side, and it was perfectly fine. I looked back at the passenger side window, hoping it had changed, but it was still the same. IT WAS FREGGIN FOGGED UP!!! I kinda got scared for a sec, but then realized that I couldn't really get outta there cuz I was driving, so there was no use. Then I remembered that my backpack was on the seat, and thought to myself that a ghost/spirit would only sit in an empty seat. Damn, now I'm gonna be paranoid every time I go to work!

During the summer after my senior year of high school I went on a missions trip to Yucatan, Mexico. A bunch of other people went too, like Butch and Billy.
I was part of the skit team, where we tried to spread the Word through small skits. I happened to be Jesus in one of them, but unfortunately I didn't do a very good job.
We played music through our skits so that it would be a little more dramatic, and because I was Jesus in the play, I had to make a dramatic entrance at the end. My part finally came up where all I had to do was basically walk forward. Unfortunately, it proved to be too much of a task for me. As I walked forward I tripped over a power cord, unplugging it from the wall. I didn't fall, but I had done something far worse. I had unplugged the stereo, so the music that we were doing our skit too just stopped, like my heart. It took a good 3 minutes to plug the cord back in and cue the music to where it had been. Now those three minutes were killer not only because I was freggin nervous, but also because I was wearing a white cape and also because it was humid as a mother.
I don't know why I remembered this. I think it's because I'm trying to study.

I hate this feeling.
You know, after a team wins the big game, like the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, National Champsionship, etc, the media is ALL over them for the next few days. I hate the Pats, I hate the Spurs, and I kinda hate USC. I can't stand how every time I go to ESPN all they're talking about is freggin Tom Brady or Adam Vinatieri or some other buttface. I wish I could fast forward a week so that all this talk would stop.
On the other hand, when your team does win, it's oh so great.
But right now, NO ESPN for at least 2 days.
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
Imma miss hanging out with my friends and grubbing on this joyous occasion. We might not know how to study, but we do know how to eat and have fun. What I learned today:
1) I hate the Pats.
2) My friends are great.
3) I hate the Pats.
Why is it that for the past three years every team I've rooted for has lost?
Last but not least, the best facial expression(s) of the day:
classic.

i just had the highlight of the month right now.
I was walking home with Janet when all of a sudden she was like, hey, wasn't that guy on american idol? lo and behold, it was him! you know, that dorky asian guy with thinning hair, small eyes, and funky teeth? the one that says that he never had any professional singing lessons? yes! it was him! i wanted to take a picture with him, but was awestruck by his star-like presence. yes we have the nerdiest people here at cal.
i want to try out for american idol and suck really hard on purpose, not that i wouldn't suck even if i tried hard. i think it would be fun to act really dumb and say ridiculous things. anyone wanna come with me?
