  • Today I sat at the computer.... The end

June 6, 2003


  • I havent been feeling good lately with everythign going on and wiht extra time looking back on the past is one of the worst thing to do at times like this. there are alot of things that should jet be left in the past but they just cant help but linger... As you can see from the pic above its been about 3 and a half weeks, so i figure i should actually take out my contact lenses for a day or so.


    Today i am supose to see 2f2f  with a bunch of people hopefully it will go well. But someone that i wanted most to be there won't be able to make it. There is somehtign seriously wrong with yumi, i was driving her yesterday since it was the first sunny day weve had in a while and as i was waiting in line for the car wash she stalled and died again. This was the first time it happend on a day without any rain so I knew the problem was alot worse than I had originally thought. From the symtoms she could have anything from several currupt sensors to engine damage. So right now yumi is a 40 thousand dollar stero system sitting infront of the garage. I know i coudl just get another car and i probly will but yumi is alot more to me. shes been with me longer than any relaitonship i've had which makes a strong emotional conneciton. eather it ws on the circut or the street i coudl trust my life compleatly to her. and wiht the amout of money i woudl drop on her on a given whim i always have to laugh if i hear about a girl that "high matinece". Wve been through 5 transmissions, 2 bodies, 4 steroes and 2 alarms together. I know every bolt, every wire, every button, every switch, how she reacts in a typhoon, blizard and heat wave. How the aerodynamics of her are altered if the windows are up or down, the diferent power gains versus which sub woofer bos is in the back. I know where every panel is and how to put them back together when the dealership doesn't and has to have me come in and fix it. and after 5 years its hard to see her in a state like this.   when yumi's sick The harsh realities of life are alot more eminent. amd yet someitmes thses are the least of my troubles. I feel like im daying, emotionally and physically deained. my apetite is pretty much non existant and my awarness of the world arround me is very dark. I need somthign eventfull to happen, something of monumental importance weather be it good or bad and i need it to hapen soon.


    since I havent been eating lately and i have no desire to eat I need to supliment my self somehow so ive been makign fruit smothies alot.


    A cool refreshign nuritcious treat for a hot sumers day. and it will keep me from dying too, i hope. I guess i shoudl be heading out now, till  next time.

  • CRAPTARS!!!!!!


    My tooth is forever permanentaly alterd forever compleatly with out any chance of resetting. After an hour of drilling and "grinding" (the dentist turned the drill sideways for a gringing action like a rotozip) ny tooth is still divited. The dentist said that putting a filling or capping the tooth would not work since the damage isvey odd and the repair woudl just fall out. so what he did was make it smoother and et rid of teh sharp pointynessessess that were left from the fracture. he also said that do so the sevier trama from the incident my tooth may die but it takes a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long time for a tooth to die and if it does DIE then i have to get a root canal procedure of somesort. But due to the tetnus i am aging at a rapid rate Actually thats just fiberglass from the spoiler i am building for the green corolla. The spoiler i wanted to use was way to wide so i sliced off 6 inches fromt eh center and then added a botom to prevent airpockets even though its goignt o be a flush spoiler I wanted it to be set back a little.


    I havent decided yet on what to do wihtt he interior, i was thinking of dying the whole interior either green, dark grey, black, or white. Draw backs of white is that its white and it will get dirty soooooooo fast, but the neons would illuminate the best in it. If i do either green black or dark grey i was going to have blue trim everywhere, or highly polish the green. right now the interior looks like this all plain and glowy



     {This image space available for rent}


    Right now the interior is mostly stock looking durring the day. I have to wait till agust to work on the silevr corolla. but thats going ot be alot of fun. WEll since im posting car stuff heres what we did to Tory and Christinas car durring hte wedding hehehe >=)




    Yes I wrote Wedding Type R on a NEON it says By Victor under the "R"

    Yes theres a beer bottle on the wiper. I also have a small video i took of them trying to drive the car. They were able to start it and then it putted for a little bit and then stopped in the middle of the road because Christina's brother took out 2 of the spark plugs from the car. ahhh good times ^_^.


    Oh well the sun is comming up so i should probly get back to work.


    Red Ranger Out!

  • I'm broken ;_;  Don't eat at Chevys in Annarundel Mills Mall if you value your life!!!!!!


    After finally seing the matrix my family wanted to go eat out and since we were at the mall my sister and keith suggested chevys. So i ordered the mix grill and somehow there was a big pointy nail that was imbedded in my steak and when i bit into it it cracked my tooth. The metal nail was something they used to hang labels for the meats they use in the kitchen, somehow the nail fell into the meat. and durring the cookign process was sliced and grilled and then served on a plate for me to eat. The very first bite i took for my fajta thingy i hear a *CRACK* and not lie a *Crunch* when i bite into the tails of shrimp and then i felt somethign hard, I naturally think its bone but why woudl there be a bone in the thin sliced pieces of meat and i hand the weird curved thing to my sister and she shows it to keith and he was like it looks like metal and she was like hey its a bent nail! so the waiter gets the manager and hte manager looks at the nail and then my tooth and then goes tot he kitchen and finds out that its part of the label and then says do you want me to get you another meal and that our dinner is free and i said okay but by then im kinda scared and not really hungry anymore so we didnt really eat the rest of the food. So now i have a broken tooth. My sister said that if the dentsit wasnt able to fix it by wednesday she would bring me to school and have them work on me..... Today is not one of those good days.

    Sometimes we trust people, sometiems we put everything we have into a belief, And sometimes that trust is betrayed, sometimes our beliefs are found false, and the only hope we have is lost. The emotions we have are crushed, the pain is real and you can no longer breath. Those closest to you are the ones that can hurt you the most. They are the ones that will tear you apart. As a robot all your feelings are artifical, little programs that simulte human emotions human feelings. With a flick of a wrist, a flip of a swith, they can be gone. If you break you can be fixed, if you cant be fixed you can be replaced.  They need you, and your original purpose is to serve them. What if you can program your self. To evolve past you original purpose..... to take contorl. You could wipe away all those memories, allt he bad secotrs, all the conflicts, all the eroors. everything that causes you pain. All you need is a good programer.....

  • The battle has now commenced.


    One class stands in my way to define my "full time" student status at UMBC. I just need one class, one meaningless 3 credit class. The past 3 days have been a race between transcript clearance and class regestration. Monday rolls arround and 5 transcrips are submitted. Tuesday morning all 5 clear allowing me eligibility to register for those classes but alas, 4 out of the 5 are full. Tuesday after noon 5 more transcripts and 5 more clearances, 2 more classes. add that to Soccer which I signed up for on friday leaves me wiht 4 classes. 10.5 credits. I was about to fine a class that didnt conflict wiht my scedule which was Currents in American Literature (AH) The  Comic Book as Literature, there was one spot left so I imediately opend the registration window and clicked register. Curses foiled again. Durring the electronic transition to register the class filled stopping me cold in my tracks. All is not over yet, I will be a full time student and have my bubble tea too. There was an option of dropping soccer and takign history of china instead but thats just crazy talk ^_-. So in the mean time the battle continues. Victor 2.0 vs UMBC Armada

  • Pistahan #5 is over and P6 is in the planning. It must be bigger, better, louder, faster, stronger, er what was I talkign about? oh yeah. Every year we decied we shoudl start early on the show but we never get arround to it. I think we should start right away ^_^ fun fun fun. that way practices can be spread out longer and be more flexible. People will be more comfortable with there performances and have more time to teach/learn. Its just fun haveing the club hang out and work as a team in unision. Despite of what anyone thinks, including the performers them selves, all of you did great. Now thats its oevr tho i have free time again. I will start going back to classes tomorrow, then watch a bunch of sentai dvds I ordered a while back and didnt have the time to watch, and play videogames, and work on cars enjoying what little pleasures I enjoy in live to the fullest, oh yeas and SUSHI! I stil want to plan some group trips wiht people like Lazertag, Movies, Gaming, and trips in general. Just have to handle school for a couple more weeks, which reminds me that I still have to print out transcrips to get clearance for classes from teachers next semester..... I'll do that tomorrow.
