  • Yearly Update


    Car: 2004 Mazda 3 2.3l S Velocity Red Hatchback


    School: UMBC


    Major: IMDA Imaging And Digital Arts Interactivity/ Animation Track


    Work: Medival Times


    Title: Chef


    Status: Single


     Other Notes: For the past few months my right forarm has been feeling odd and sometimes hurts during certain movements, recently I was infromed I actually have a fracture in the bone structure. So basically ive been running arround with a broken arm. 


    I like my new car, beside the fact its brand new and red its like it was designed just for me, the interior lighting is red too. Its actuall faster then my Mx3 since it doesnt have all the electrical equipment in it. Im going to install red leather and neons tho, and I still want to put in a gps, It could also use a sub or two, at least a 15"... And the mazdaspeed grill looks really nice. I'll have to wait for all that stuff later when I have the time.  The car burned a huge hole in my bank account but I got $500 off for being a loyal mazda owner, and another $500 off for being a recent college graduate before.


    other than that jordan is back home in md and is living upstairs ^_^ thats about it. Oh and pistahan.

  • Well the past weeks havent been the best in the world. Last week on tuesday the morning of my highschool reunion I wrecked my car... an old man driving a chevy surburban cut me off and slamed on his breaks. Sorry Tien, I can no longer love you for we no longer have matching cars.



    Luckily robots are industructable and I'm made of titanium anyway so this time I didnt have a scratch at all. I still didnt have my seatbelt tho... I had no passangers but yet the passanger side window is smashed up. Needless to say I made it to my reunion.



    I littereally havent seen these people in over 5 years when I wrecked my first corolla and had the titanium structure installed. But all that is litterally a year ago now. Lets see how 2004 goes.

  • Im proablly in over my head right now wishing for the best of things to be and probly making somehting out of nothing. A cute lil thing with a midnight blue altezza, meduim built with a lovely smile and that little voice I love. A GD/Photo major as well with her own style. Te oterh day I was making pandas for our class project and she wanted to keep one so i gave it to her. Ever since then I've been "running into her" every day. I wish this had happend earlier in the semester cause now I only have a day or so left. So this is how I  figure it. If i see her on the last day then I'll try, its worth a shot right? I'll find out in a litle mroe than 12 hours...

  • Sometimes the world seems overwhelming and everything we do is uttely useless especially for those of us that have no goals or set futures planed. I barely know what im going to do in the next couple hours let alone the rest of my life. Everything I work hard for, everything I've achieved and accomplished sometimes seems so futile. When someone asks me why I do somehting I honestly dont know. In the end I sedom feel content and always want more than what is able to be done and still I dont now why. All I know is to exist and continue to exist. Someday I hope to find an answer but then again its probly not going to be a good one. reality bytes but robots don't dream only process information.

  • Theres been alot of things on my mind lately. To many choices and no real positive conclusions. I dont know what it is, maybe the overwhelming lonely void growing in me or the combind stress over the past few months, this semi voulentary isolation  ive built arround me trapping me,  engulfing me. The way my scedule works is i have 18 credits of school that means 18 hours in school and 54 hours out of school workign on projects eaquals 72 hours. then work is arround 56 hours 128 total. 168 hours in a week minus 128 =  40 hours of free time from 1pm- 12am on tuesdays i spend  in cp/ rockville so thats 28 hours  left for free time. 28/ 7 = 4 hours a day  i am free and that usualy between morning and afternoon classes. Suprisingly I havent gaiand an exuberant amount of weight like i had anticipated, I might have actually even lost  weight since I've been acidentally fitting into size 33 pants now. I wonder how much  multitasking a robot can endure. I guess its a good thing i dont have someone n my life right now since  i  could only offer 4 hours a day in time. I barely have time to work on the cars or search for the next vehicle, I ay vehicle because im not sure if it will be a car anymore. Its odd tho. I'm working hard to earn money that I have no plans or use for other than to horde  it and store it with all the other money from all those other silly jobs.


    My parents are sericously considering moving back to Japan In which case I might move back with them. It woudl be nice to be home again. And i can own the cars I want without them being a bajillion dollars overpriced throuhg importing. I dont know. I've never been so unsure about my future as  I am today.

  • Its been a while.


    Because of hurricane isabell i was out of power for one full week. The thursday it hit till late thursday the week after. In such ive been blogged down wiht school projects, and work. Its kinda hard to do video editing without power as well as typed papers. At work ive been real busy since brian quit leaving just my bos and me to cook food which might be the reason why were closed on thursdays since I cant work thursdays. oh well.

  • I Bought a new phone the other day, the first thing I did when I got home was take a razorblade to it and make the trim red. Its a fun little phone that shows people pictures on the cover when they call. If lyle, cal, cathy, or nick call then it plays the powerrangers theme since they were the other rangres in my team. if fave or kevin calls it plays rage your dreams from initial D hehe. Im trying to find a short midi of no one sleeps in tokyo since i know that will make kevin happier. as for right now if theres someone that calls that is on my list that doesnt have there own asigned ringer it will play the tetris theme, and if its someone thats not on my list it plays the ending theme to dr who. Unfortumnately no one ever calls me and hardly anyone has my new number except for my cousin but she always texts anyway. theres not much els for this update except for a short PSA to Allan, Your wiper is up! hehehehe

  • I am very dissapointed that noone could guess what the red substance is. Is $5 dollars not enuff to care about to even guess? or do you guys really not have any idea what it is? Hmm ill double the jackpot so its now $10 dollars and ill add another $10 dollars if you can guess how much liquid there is pictured. TWENTY FREE DOLLARS TO THE FIRST CORRECT GUESS. Good luck!


    Lately I've been driving my boss home after work since his car broke. The first time he was like "if i was driving my car it usualy takes 5 minutes" so i thought "Is that a challenge?" hit the gas. and made it from the mall to his house in 3 minutes. It's always funny seeing a gron man in his 40s crying. He's a funny old man, he wants me to make coppies of my techno cds and to install neons and leds in his car hehe.


    I've been having a hard time finding time to actually use any of the money ive made on anything mostly since when I do have free time I have to go to several places to find exactly what im looking for. Buying things online is always convienient but there are time you want instant gratifacation.

  • School started wednesday so I now spend a total of 4 hours at "home" each day. when im not at work in the castle I'm at school. This is intersting a full time job and a full time student. The boys didnt come back so im pretty sure they quit abut we just hired a new chef yesterday. his name is brian, hes really really really old but he only speaks english! so now i have someone to talk to when the servers go home. he was telling me aobut cullinary school and how its completly different than a university in strictness and uniformication. sometimes I htink the work is a little bit too intense but my paycheck friday justifyed everything. Im aprently making 2x as much as I thought I was making and my boss said that in 3 months hell see about getting me a raise. By staying a chef I'll be making about 36-42K a year before taxes which is also 2x as much as I would be making in an entry level design job. The taxes deducted from my last check were more than the combind taxes I paid for hte past 3 years. Ive been working at the castle for almost a month now and I still havent seen the show.


    And now for somehting fun. The first peron to guess what the red substance in the picture below is will get 5 dollars through paypal. The dedline is one week from now. Good luck!
