OK no more earthquakes, time to write. (for your info: 4.19 am big bear lake 5.2 magnitude)

american cars are powerful yet their integrity lacks. i cant blame my car though. it has over 80000 miles on it and it still runs good without any problems. there may be a slight vibration there, the paint rubbing off the stereo, or a break squeal, overall, domestic cars have improved drastically over the years. "wastes gas, kicks ass" is what my brother's license plate says and its true. my car's headlights are fogging up for some reason so today i went to the junkyards in the san fernando area. they have lots of salvaged parts, but due to the demand for the same problem, the headlights i have been looking for are always taken first. in conclusion, Ill buy them from ebay brand new.

since i was already in the san fernando area, i decided to stay out there and call up the homies. we agreed on islands and there we sat at the bar and ate (hawaiian?) burgers and fajitas. it was a nice place to hang out. glendale has really got a facelift for not being there in 10 years. that part of the city reminded me of downtown san fransisco because of the brick architecture and high rise buildings. not to my surprise, as we walked out, another war rally going on outside making cars honk. We killed time at the glendale galleria and messed around in cool shops such as: sharper image where they sell wannabe futuristic gadgets made in china and the Mac store. Lemme tell you about the mac store. It is a bright white store with maple hard wood floors, silver and white computers everywhere with glass divders sectioning the store and flourescent lighting from the walls. whenever you feel like using the internet at the mall, visit the mac store. there you will be welcomed with anti-ibm people and amazed with the fascinating computers they have to offer. you can spend the whole time in the store surfing the web for illegal stuff without being escorted out. to be honest, macs are so much more versatile than ibms and stylish. their flat screen technology is through the roof. i am now 51% sure that i will have a mac as my next computer.

next stop, la canada flintridge. my buddy works at the regal theatres off the 2 and the 210 frwy. we can watch any movie whenever we want, get free popcorn and icee. We watched "the recruit", a film about CIA training and their unreliabilty to endure through torture. how happy am i to know that the US is protected by "Unintelligent" agents who get distracted by hot women. overall, it is an average film with a reasonable plot and fairly easy to follow through. grade: C+/B-. GO watch Monsters INC instead, my latest download.

mood: alert for more earthquakes, carb depleted
music: more bluegrass stuff

missed class. too tired. who wants to learn about dinosaurs and fossils? besides i knew this stuff way back in elementary school. i used to be obsessed with rocks.

i woke up today with one thing in my mind. "4 plates" This is a workout term which means 4 x 45lbs weights on each side of a barbell having a total of 405lbs. Last week i promised akash that i would squat 4 plates. so i woke up with that in my mind because i was nervous and was getting second thoughts. if i didnt do it, he would make fun of me. doing squats is very dangerous so kids dont try this at home. my knees can give out anytime therefore i went to buy some knee wraps.

went to do some chemistry project at my friend's house for 3 hours. then went to max muscle to buy some knee wraps and workout pants. there is a hot brunette who works in there who helped me and gave me a huge discount.

Then the moment that i thought would never come had arrived. During my 5th set of squats i was pondering whether to put on the last 45 plate. There was also this guy next to me who would get on your case if you didnt do an exercise properly ie. going all the way down, going through the full motion etc. So then i sucked it up and slapped on the 4th plate, took a deep breath and i had the meanest adrenaline rush. It wasnt so bad after all. I ended up doing 5 reps. i was happy. not a word came out of his freakin crap talking mouth.

I got a 10 out of 12 in my graduate writing test!

mood: relief, legs are wobbly
song: alison krauss

Today i was late 10 minutes to my 10:30am class and there was also a midterm. The good thing is, during the first day of school, we messed around with the teacher's website and found a database of files. Voila! behold, the pre-made midterm. So me and my friend answered them yesterday and breezed through the midterm. Even if we did not have the midterm, it was an open book test and we would have still slowly but surely got all the answers from the book. Either way, I think you learn more answering the questions at home than making the test seem like a word search.

4 hours later, I had a presentation in another business class. In a business major, thats all you do at cal poly: 4 presentations, 1 midterm and 1 final. The group presentations are redundant and even for the person with stage fright, he/she would get over it by a year. These are 5 minute presentations about a single chapter in the textbook and the teacher does not expect you to go over 3-5 minutes per person.

Tomorrow, I plan to start a weekly trip to the tanning salon. Hopefully it will get my skin tighter as told to me by a bodybuilder.
I gained 7 lbs from february 3rd and im feeling stronger than ever. I havent been so dedicated to bodybuilding in my life.

current mood: i see a stress-free week ahead, happy
song playing: alison krauss & union station (bluegrass)

congratulations to myself. i have successfully encoded an HTML tagboard to this useless blog. i will add more crap later; the day has barely begun.

---------------------------------------

while i was at school today, i left my computer at home downloading "The Shawshank Redemption". Its all i do now, get free movies from Kazaa. Since high school, I have heard this title over and over again being one of people's best movies; but either it was forgotten or i had better things to do. So i got home from my geology lab and watched it. This movie goes straight to the top ten movies i have ever seen. im not gonna hint about anything that goes on in the movie because i want everyone that reads this to see how this story was put together.

Kristen Kreuk aka "Lana Lang". She makes the world go round. I am so glad to be living in this time to watch her in the Smallville series. Her role is so perfect for the show and her appearance is addicting. I bet her personality in the real world is just as humble and passionate. It would be an honor to meet her someday. TUESDAYS @ 9PM, SUNDAYS @ 5PM, KTLA channel 5 - GO WATCH IT!

jesson is here and we need to do work once again, another all nighter.

other shows i keep up with:
MTV Road Rules: Battle of the Sexes: Mondays @ 10PM
MTV Real World Las Vegas: Tuesdays @ 10PM
The Osbournes
Jackass

current mood: hungry, hopeless (for tomorrows midterm), muscle pain
song being looped: billy idol - eyes without a face

stupid obese teacher cancelled class after jesson and i stayed up till 5am preparing a group presentation and yet still needed to be finished in the afternoon. I, for one didnt get enough sleep to workout and jesson missed his chance to hang out with his love interest. must get revenge!

99% of the United States probably tuned to FOX's 2-hour special of Joe Millionaire. I didnt keep up with the past episodes, but today as i surfed through the channels, i decided to endure through the 2-hours. Zora and Sarah were the remaining women of the French Chateux. Without having to know their personalities, Sarah, the blonde gave me the impression that she was a greedy woman. Smokers are always a turn-off for guys anyways. On the other hand, Zora, the brunette looked like she would be more faithful to Evan. When the butler called out Zora downstairs to speak with Evan first, there was no doubt in my mind that Evan would choose her. The funny thing is, Sarah joked around after getting the boot.

The ending was no surprise to me. Will Zora stay with Evan after being deceived? Yea. Even if the butler hadnt given them a million bucks, a bunch of commercials, endorsements, magazines would have made him a filthy rich couple. I bet he knew along he was about to be presented with money. They are the spice in reality shows these days. A million bucks in Survivor, a million bucks in quiz shows, heck, even the title gave it away: Joe Millionaire. Good luck to them in the future.

song currently looping on winamp: the calling - for you
mood: little stressed and tired, muscle pains

For the past month or so, my standards in choosing women have changed. The bar has been lowered. Im not talking about in yards, but in inches. This is a good thing for me because for the longest time Ive set myself on a puddle and drowned myself in it. I think the levels of testosterone has increased in my blood; possibly caused by eating and heavy lifting.

Yesterday i found out that the bouncers and some other workers from Montana's Night club frequently goes to Benihana's to eat. Well as you know, bunch of good looking women work at Benihana like Kara, Arlene, etc. When you put together some rednecks and beautiful women altruisms are exchanged. If all goes well, my buddy Jesson and I plan to take these girls on a date to Montana's where we can get in for free. With my many years of line dancing experience, I can also teach my friends how to 2-step. So next week I plan to go for it. Everytime I see Jesson or go to his house, I become thrown by these pictures of Benihana chicks; makes me wanna join their circle of friends. It's all i can think of now, having fun.
