"Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life, so get wasted all of the time and have the time of your life." ~ Unknown

What I learned on Spring Break:

You can always find a cop when you least expect it.
Hennessy and Grand Marnier make a Beautiful couple.
Natural tans are better.
You haven't had brownies until you add that special secret ingredient, marijua...er, i mean, love.
There's nothing like a good game of Monkey-in-the-Middle.
Puting on make-up is a lot harder than it looks.
Chicken and Waffles, who woulda thunk?
Napping is the secret to happiness.
Good friends are never too far.

My God, the Doubt! It's burning!

"If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error." ~ John Kenneth Galbraith

I rarely make mistakes, or so I would like to believe. But if and when I do, rest assure, it will be a spectacular f**k-up.

I handed inspiration a bat, but she still refuses to hit me.

"Java Devil, You are my Bitch!" ~ The Tick

Besides pulling all-nighters, I never had much need or want to drink coffee. But the fact that coffee is free at work and that it is easily accessible at every turn, I have developed a taste and yearning for it. Not one to turn down anything free, I'm enjoying my fifth cup of coffee and sixteenth lap around the building. And my pee has never smelled so robust.

"Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." ~ Karen Kaiser Clark

A few days ago I was left pondering the idea of kicking someone in the head. I spent the rest of that day conflicted on the morality issues of such an action. And that night was left sleepless as I continued to play devil's advocate to help me reach a better understanding and the ramifications that would inevitably occur. In the end I realized that, in overanalyzing the thought of kicking someone in the head, the opportunity and motivation for doing such a pleasurable, yet insanely wrong, act had past. One must seize the opportunity when it arises. I was left with an empty feeling of regret up until I discovered the used DVD porn section at Rasputin's with extremely enticing deals. Needless to say, I seized the moment.

Imagine my surpise as I walk into the kitchen to witness my uncle dipping a twenty pound turkey into a vat of oil on the stove. Crisp fried turkey was on the menu for this years Thanksgiving Dinner. In my family, we make our own rules.

The aroma of tobacco remained on my taste. And the lightheadedness sunk deep to my stomach as I tried to fall into unconsciousness. Drifting away from realty, my urge to quit smoking became apparent once again, until tomorrow night, at least.

Last night we had a going-away shindig of sorts for my tag team partner Josey. And at the end of the night, as the girls said their tearful good-byes to one another, us guys did what any other guy would do in these moments of heartfelt emotion. We wrestled in the kitchen.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Tommorrow is not promised to any of us.

The other day I was watching a made-for-TV movie about the life of James Dean. It must be hard to make a movie about making movies because how would you know who was really working on the movie and who was only pretending?

"Dirty Dozen, Eighty of us, Shady brothers, Ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out and date each other
Some-, somethin, somethin, somethin, somethin, somethin, somethin, somethin..." ~ D12, Purple Pills

Camping in the great outdoors finally opened my eyes to the truth. Chipmunks are the epitome of evil. Curse you, ya furry bastards.

Just hang loose
just have fun
sippin' on a drink
lyin' in the sun
don't try to fight it
it ain't no use
cuz when you're in Hawaii
you should just hang loose.

~ Germaine's Luau's Anthem

I've fallen many times before. But each time makes it that much more difficult to get back up.

And she tried all 31 flavors before confessing that she didn’t want ice cream at all.

If I must go, I will leave with you memories of happier times. Remember the sun, the midnight air, and the laughter that we shared and left behind. So that someday, when we meet once more, I will ask for that smile, the one I knew not so long ago.

"Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk or discourse, but to weigh and consider." ~ Francis Bacon

The other night I had a dream about the movie Dirty Dancing. I was Patrick Swayze and it was the last scene of the movie when he comes in and says he always does the last dance. Just when I was about to shake my booty, so to speak, my sister wakes me from my dream. Who knows what could have happened? I can say, without a doubt, that I could have pulled off a smashing performance.

On my way to lunch I noticed a construction worker painting sections of the newly paved sidewalk red. His feeble attempts to guard said painted sidewalks with cones amused me knowing that it was a futile attempt. I went on my merry way. My cocky assumptions were later proved true, on the way home, by the red shoe print riddled sidewalk before me. Silly pedestrians.

This one time, Mark and I thought it would be cool to eat raw eggs. So we each broke an egg and tried to eat it. Only it seemed too much to take all at once. So we thought it would be a good idea to break the yolk inside first. Big mistake. Imagine our surprise when we realized it wasn't cool at all. People, I can't emphasize this enough, cook your eggs first.

03.19.01

I have decided to drop out of school to pursue my dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. With the help of Josey (my semi-tagteam partner who will someday become the WWF women's champ) and Mr. ChriStance, (who has volunteered to manage us and distract the ref and our opponents) I am one step closer to achieving my dream. Only one question remains, is the world ready to accept a skinny Filipino as their WWF Champion?

03.14.01

I saw my ex-girlfriend on TV last night. Something about being an MTV Icon or what not. It's good to see that she has moved on with her life.

02.20.01

I took a cookie and began to devour it with reckless abandonment. As crumbs flew every which way, a small chunk fell to the floor. Without shame, I picked it up and ate it. Doing so, I turned slightly to witness JP eating an identical cookie, carefully, and cupping it with one hand as to not make a mess. An epiphany took place. I am a pig.

"The things we touch have no permanence. My master would say there is nothing we can hold on to in this world. Only by letting go can we truly possess what is real." ~ Li Mu Bai, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

I like kung fu movies. Where else can you find people flying around, beating the crap out of each other while swearing in Cantonese?

01.03.01

I usually don't do anything for my birthday. I'm perfectly content with just staying at home and treating it like any other day. I guess I just don't like all the attention. Last friday I was treated with a surprise party for yours truly. I was speechless by the fact that I didn't see it coming. Thanks, Mark and Cecilia, for the kind gesture. Love ya guys, you really got me this time. And I will not rest until I seek my revenge, mark my words.

"Love, it ain't nothin' but a word; a chicken ain't nothin' but a bird." ~ Talib Kweli, Reflections Eternal

I will miss you. I will miss the taste of you and how my mouth would water just thinking of you. I will miss the way you were and the way we were. Though you have changed, I will continue to choose you and all that you stand for. You will always be the one who quenches my hunger for a reasonable price. Goodbye. Goodbye. And hello to you, new tasting McChicken Sandwich.

It's about time I won the lotto. How else can I afford a new computer? One that doesn't freakin' freeze up every freakin time I try to download porn. Something with lots of ram and stuff. Yes, that's the ticket. More power and speed to process all the porn in the world. What a remarkable time we live in when one can see pornography at a click of a button.
