I just got back from the school after working on the video stuff for the past 6 hours. as i was getting ready to attempt to load a box you could fit allan into my small 2 door sports car... i tried to put my computer case down and acidentally open it where my camera and laptop fly out crashing to the ground.... lucklly theyere still operatiuonal i think... but they look all beat up. I hope poeple make it to the show, And i still have another big show just arround the corner and hopefully the suddent impact my computer took to the sidewalk wont affect its performance too much tonight... yeah tonoight not tomorrow its sunday morning already. and in 5 hours i have to get ready to head over to the ballroom for setup.

Red Ranger overdrive on.....

28 days later...

I figured i should write my birthday entry before the month is over

Wednesday the 1st (my bday)

it was a pretty relaxed day, a couple of us went out to eat at edo's in the inner harbor. the only person wiht a camera was allan and all he did was take pictures of his food. 

Friday the 3rd

Famil dinner at sushi sono. Me, keith, maria, jordan, angela, mom and dad. the waitress took 5 photos 3 were very dark, 1 was blury and the last one i was cut out of, so my dad took another photo and i jsut plopped them all together.

Saturday the 4th.

We took over Nikos again. were were littlerly the only people in the resturant for most of the night Isolated in the front room. I tried to take a bunch of group photos but failed miserablly. so here are most of the people from the first table. with the people in the seats heads pasted in. I made reservations at 8 at the resturant and told peopel to et ready for 7 and well joey and kevin got there early at 7 since there not asian ^^; the majority of the people started showing up at 840 but it didnt matter much since we had the place till they closed at 11 when we actually finally left. It was nice gettign to see everyone again especailly peopel who i havent seen in a long long time. Dave even drove down to baltimore just for sushi!

Loot!!!!  

I got a pineapple!!!  

But the most impressive thing was this cake waiting for me at home, Its my car ^_^ and it has 25 candles stuck together burning high and melting fast.

on a side not asia is saturday

Now for the flyer.... 15 people came to the meeting a month ago when the flyer was due. They all pointed out ball room was one worrd so i moved room over and they said it was fine and nothing else had to be changed. After being looked at and examined by pretty much everyone including Christian who gave me aproval to print we sent the file to common vision. They had some problems opening the file so i physically printed 150 flyers and handed them to Christian who in urn passed them out. This is a week beofre commonvision had another problem wiht printing where more revisions could have been compleated but no actions were taken and no orders were given. It want untill Yesterday when commonvisions flyers were printed, a month after the first fliers were drafted and a week after the first physical printed batch were passed out that anyone noticed there was a major fuck up. The thing is My job is only to make something look pretty People are supose to give me the text and i would compile it to make the product, no one did soafter a metting wiht people who viewed it and approved it for printing this is what the result was.

So yeah today I revised it for Inet to be viewed on the tvs at school.

There no I in team but there is always a me in blame. So when a lot of people screw up only one person gets singled out.

Right now I have less than a week to make slideds for the show, slides which I have no imaged fore where the images were due a month ago....

There is a balance in my life, where ver somehtign good happens, its usally because of somehting bad, The rule of eaqual exchange, to gain something, you must lose something . For the first Time in a long time I have gained soemthing of extreme value which price I have not yet been able to pay and its hitting me like a brick wall.

in 19 hours, 4 chapters worth of japanese work is due, and will be serverd on the side of a mega whoop @$$ final to end all finals.

in 16hours, a documenttaion of my Experimental interfaces project is also due. This woudlnt have been a problem except I thoguht we were having a final presentation day later in the week and found out today was the final presentation day.

next monday is the soc final, It might not even matter tho...

and then I have no idea when psych is...

But im stuck her for antoehr semester anyway with hold list for everything so the only class that maters is japanese. >< stupid meaning driven kanji. >< stupid radicals.... 

Sometimes I wish giving up was part of my programing, but theres that stupid program called "hope" that will blindly lead you swimgin in a pool filled wiht broken glass and razor blades, and very very very shap paper pieces that sting like a biatch telling you "its only a flesh wound" when you've lost 80% of your limbs and vital organs. and are so incompasitated al you can do is lay there like a fish flopping in the middle of a desert before a flash flood of napalm wisks by. and when thats over a little pug dog coems bay and pissed on the chard remains of your body. And you know who sent the dog to pee on you???? HOPE!!!!! thats who.

"Failure, when your best just isn't good enough!" 

* it is very bad to begin a sentence with "and" and is frowned upon by english majors and in some places punishable by death through means of catipult.

Good luck on finals everyone.

ps. If I ever get married there will be 2 weddings, 1 traditional and 1 with giant robots and power armor.

I took cal's quiz and got my brothers occupation...  

You scored as Batman, the Dark Knight. As the Dark Knight of Gotham, Batman is a vigilante who deals out his own brand of justice to the criminals and corrupt of the city. He follows his own code and is often misunderstood. He has few friends or allies, but finds comfort in his cause. Batman, the Dark Knight 96% James Bond, Agent 007 83% The Amazing Spider-Man 63% Lara Croft 63% Indiana Jones 58% The Terminator 58% El Zorro 50% Maximus 46% Neo, the "One" 42% Captain Jack Sparrow 42% William Wallace 21% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

the sh*ts proabally hit the fan recently but giving up isnt an option. So close and yet it seems so far away, just another hurdle to jump.

on a side note, my sister and keith are almost finished moving into their new house. my aunt sent me a demon hunting kit from the church to rid their new home of evil spirits and bad omens and stuff but when i got to the house I noticed the holy water was missing, I asked my dad where it was... "one sec he says"  then he goes to the fridge and hands me a bottle of nestle purified spring water.  I respond. "This isn't what came in the box. This is not holy water! It will not vanquish the evil spirits that lurk in the darkest shadows and the hearts of man!" then he says "but it will quench your thirst." >_<* stupid old man. Turns out my mom left the bottle in the the box my aunt sent. I think my aunt also wanted to me look of un earthly supernatural creature and stuff to vanquish while I'm at it tho some of the stuff she sent didnt make much sense like sodium, and dried rice, but of course the silver hollowpoint rounds with deposits of garlic and holy water makes perfect sense. Theres one vampire I wont kill tho ^_-

on the subject of family >_<**** 
my uncle eddie from ohio is staying with us to get dentures fixed by my sister. ERRRRRG. He psssssssssssssssses me off. Always making asanine comments about obvious everyday crap. And he stads behind my hair while im at the computer for hours doing absolutely nothing.  And he come into my room eating candy and food over my bed leaving crumbs and pieces of wrappers everywhere. If i could I'd chain him to a bolder, lock him in a steel cage and then seal the cage in a giant buble hooked up to a vacum controling the amount of oxygen in the bubble.  

All this fighign with good and evil... you need evil to live but rats live on no evil star. and a racecar is always a racecar. and a baseball bat to the side of the head will hurt just as much wheather its made of meal or wood.

less than 2 weeks left.

Find was Insane, At times a Nightmare, and yes the stress, But Peice of mind and a crew of veterans backing me up kicked ass. And even though I was attached to a computer for more than 48 consecutive hours that was not connected to the net and was trying to squish 20+hours of footage into 5 minute video with sceens sped up to 500% and then learnign we actually have 15 minutes to work with instead of 5...... Find was Fun. ill leave it at that. I will be re editing the 10 minute slide video we showed durring showcase with scence from showcase before attempting actually editing the actual speaker sessions and opening/closing ceremonies. Documentation was on the ball.  I know I can't stress it enough that my crew worked there asses off and always had more and more coverage to give me, even when I told them to take a break they just kept comming back trading footage and pictures for batteries, fresh cards, and tapes. It's the most I've ever had to rely on anyone since 1999. and even though I couldn't physically experience the dialog being sealed in a secluded room on the 3rd floor, thanks to them I've seen more and proably learned more about the dialog than anyone. So Allan, Irene, Diana, Mary, Venice, Denley, Leah, Russell, Eser, and Cal, You guys Kick Ass.  

On a side note My rims came in so now all my rims match again yay!!!! No mor stageres 18" 5 spokes with 17" 10 spoke fronts. The car doesnt vibrate when I pas 70 anymore and I can barely feel vibration at 140 and there so shiny ^_^.  Ill p[roably install more stuff later today but today is also sports day, fasa has a possible 3 volleyball games and then were gonna play soft ball soooo i dunno abotu time.

Comming Up next weekend is Turkey bowl, and Allans Bday, Gonna try and eat out for it, proably a steak place since sushi is saved for after turkey bowl. Then I help sis and keth move out and into ther new house so I can have the apartment. Its gong to be a fun week.

I've been trying to rember.... the last time I was truely happy.... but I can't remember if there ever was a time....

I have a months worth of updates that I am still waitning to start on. When I think about everyhting there so much on my mind, but when I think abotu those things all thoguhts seem to escape me. I guess its just the impending seasons and the oncomming year. Everythign could be perceft but its the little things that get to you. the little things that turn to big things, and the big things that kill ya. Its always thses things that make everything seem darkest and the only light is a flikering flame left out in the rain.

there are some dates I'll always remember.... 1.19.1999.... i still have the titainim infused with my bones setting off cheap metal detectors and anoying the hell out of me when ever the weather is less than fair.... and yet I dont even remeber the actualy day i graduated from highschool but that didnt leave 12 in scars everwhere.

when i look back at everthing I wonder if anyof it was enough. if anythign i do is worth while. If anything I do will leave a lasting impression for anyone. out of everyone i knew from highschool i only kept in touch with a small handful. out of everyone i knew from my child hood I can barely remeber any of there first names.  so i wonder. will i remember any of this...  in 2 years.  in 5.. in 10..

in highschool I didnt plan anything after age 25, or shoudl i say I lived my live based on a set plan. after that fell throuhg I spent the rest searching for answers.

When googling my old screennames I found an old email everyone sent out, at the time it was all in good fun but times have changes now, people have changedm and its just lost all its meaning. I found links to my frist webpage that nolonger exists due to the geocities yahoo merger. but most of all i found a link to old photo albums i use to keep online. www.plutoseven.8m.com (if you want to see pis of me wiht long hair, and not wearing red go here) and then i realized everythign i had wasnt deleated. in fact i backed up alot of it at ridge racer... even my old galleries of sketches. http://www.ridge-racer.net/thk/agirliknow.html drawing every day i use to fill a 200 9x12 sketch book every 2.5 months with drawings... now i barely touch a page in 6 months. but now I rember. every single file i backed up. every single drawing. every single photo. everthing ive writen, everything ive coded and uploaded online is there somewhere, but somethigns i just cant bring my self to see. to remember. But i also found this http://ridge-racer.net/ttd.html my list of things I want to do before I die. Looking at it now I think i have other priorites I should switch stuff with. But then, I'm not ready to die yet.

I've written alot, but none of it is related to what I need to update ><

I need to focus, I need a purpose, I need somehting to define my existance. I need to stop eating so much bacon. And i think i need a defibulator (sp?) cause i dont feel a pulse or a heart beat, then again I dont remebr the last time i could do that either. for the time being Im just here to kick sum @$$ and ask questions later..... not that i think about it i proably should be askign alot more questions these days.
