yesterday was pretty cool. we saw a lot of celebs, but the bad thing is that they all stayed backstage. first of all, universal ampitheater is setup like a movie theater and i dont think celebs would wanna sit amongst the "regular" people. but frankie muniz did, and some of the cast members from paradise hotel. we walked through security like nothing because there was no security. the metal detectors didnt even work because it wasnt even plugged in.

we sat like 10 rows from the front and sat next to interesting people. the lady next to akash kept on fondling with his thigh and there was a guy 2 rows in front like jason mraz who kept on harassing these 2 asian girls in front of us. it turns out he was some emerging actor. it was a living hell for those girls because everyone around them were laughing along with the guy as he distracted them the whole night. lining up for the show, we followed this milf who resembled lisa marie presley where akash was going to sit with her but got cockblocked by a black chick.

the ultimate disappointment was when paris hilton did not show up, instead her sister nikki was there (paris' phone is working agin) .but to compensate, i saw the cast of the OC, shania, pamela lee, kutcher, diddy, outkast, kid rock, the president of north korea, paradise hotel and matchbox 20. the good thing was our seats, we didnt have to move around and keep getting kicked off. we moved once and sat there the whole night. the couple next to us paid $75 each for tickets. they were sad.

this is going to air november 30 on vh1 so you can see who you missed.

i finally decided to call verizon to help me out with my slow connection. it turns out that it was my switch that was causing the problem. now it runs full speed, but my friends that come over cannot share internet anymore. so during the past week i got bored and decided to download all the 10 OC episodes. each episode was 450MB so i downloaded 4500MB. but wait a minute, i only have a 4300MB size hard drive (my computer was top of the line back in '97). so i burned the rest onto CD's.

on thursday, frankenstein and i will attend the vh1 big in 2003 awards show at the universal amphitheatre. we will be seatfillers and our main job is to fill up seats as celebs go to the bathroom, go home, or go cry when they do not get an award during commercial breaks. sitting next to hot celebs is a huge possibilty as i have been to the MTV movie awards as a seatfiller. the bad thing is we cannot bring phones or any recording devices in there. so akash and i had a plan to smuggle it in with also some chloroform. we are there to see paris and nikki hilton and we will keep an eye out for an open seat next to them and once they get caught off guard, BAM they will be knocked out. i am there to also see mischa barton from the OC and to hopefully get her picture. who else, the first time i will be seeing shania twain and her performance live. im looking forward to see matchbox 20 perform also.

update: the guy who committed suicide died the next day. he already graduated and was a CIS major. im thinking hes prob depressed in not finding a job.

i hate tijuana. i went down there on a rainy day and once i got into downtown as usual some guy will wash your window with a squeegee. im thinking youre an idiot for washing my window on a rainy day. so i gave him a dollar. because there are no lines on the road and the streets are one-way i missed a turn and went back to the same street. there the same guy ran up to my car again and started to wash the window. !!!!!!!!!. i got pissed and honked at him and i yelled for him to stop. my windshield was already antibacterial from washing. we drove around to find a parking lot, but then the one we always parked at was closed. so i drove further into a ghetto area and found a space next to some shacks. i stopped the car and some guy came up and with hand motions showed that someone would smash the windows. my friend got mad at me for even thinking of parking there. so we drove back to downtown and found a well lighted parking lot. we got the best spot and we autolocked it plus the club. after, my friend got some vet supplies and he was paranoid in bringing back through customs. so i bought a soda and we dumped the stuff into the drink. he wanted to look relaxed in crossing the boarder so he wanted to get some drinks. so we went to the nearest bar and there were only like 5 people there. who would party on a cold rainy night? so my friend ordered a beer and a kamikaze. i didnt order anything, but knowing that business was slow, they came with double of everything. so i gave them to my friend to drink. they saw me not ordering anything with a large KFC coke in front of me and came up to me bent my head backwards and choked down beer and tequila. they were blowing whistles and shook my head. and the worse part was after, they demanded 3 dollars and tip!!!!!. i was pissed and told them to stop cuz i was also driving. because im not a drinker my low tolerance made my stomach warm and in a couple minutes i felt lightheaded. that was all i can take of tijuana. so we left and i took a wrong turn and started to go into metropolitan tijuana. this area was modernized and i got stuck in the road that goes in circles around a statue. after i few circles, i went out and saw the frwy to san diego and we waited for an hour to cross the boarder.
