i dont play games, but when i do, i play minesweeper. yea, its that game that comes free with windows ever since windows first came out. most people dont even know how to play that game and they just click on the squares until the whole game blows up and start over. but its actually pretty fun and helps exercise your brain. sometimes i feel my brain is deteriorating after i graduated college since you dont use it anymore, so i play this game to keep my reactions quick. i have sort of proven this theory because recently, i have been beating my old record times. if you dont know how to play this game, its basically trying to mark and avoid mines. on the game, a square is surrounded by 8 squares. if you click on a square and a number shows up, it means there are that many mines surrounding that number. if you click on just 1 mine, the game starts over, because in real life, 1 mine will start off a chain reaction and everything is fucked. besides that, everything else is self-explanatory. you are timed and levels get harder as the grid gets bigger and there are more mines to mark. i play this shit everywhere: on the plane, at home, at my friends house just to see that fucking smiley face wear his sunglasses when i win. so if you see my name in your records, ive owned your minesweeper.


my records.


that smiley face is wearing his sunglasses. i saved him from death :)


on the plane to hong kong

keith urban - stupid boy

well she was precious
like a flower
she grew wild
wild but innocent
perfect prayer in a desperate hour
she was everything beautiful and different

stupid boy
you can't fence that in
stupid boy
it's like holding back the wind

she let her heart and soul right in your hands
and you stole her every dream
and you crushed her plans
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
is telling her she cant
stupid boy
stupid boy

so what made you think that you could take a life
and just push it, push it around
i guess you built yourself up so high
you had to take her and break her down

she let her heart and soul right in your hands
and you stole her every dream
and you crushed her plans
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
is telling her she cant
and you stupid boy

oh you always had to be right
and now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive

she let her heart and soul right in your hands yea
and you stole her every dream
and you crushed her plans, oh yes he did
she never even knew she had a choice
and that's what happens when the only voice she hears
is telling her she cant.
you stupid boy.
ohh, im a same ole, same ole stupid boy.

it took a while for her to figure out
she could run
but when she did
she was long gone, long gone

oh no, shes never gonna love me like she loved me
she loved me, she loved me
god please just let her know im sorry
im sorry, im sorry, im sorry baby
im down on my knees
she's never coming back to me

so back to reality where i am now back in the university. or should i even call it a university? its more of high school to me. now i know why cal state fullerton is called the party school. its full of beautiful people trying to get into each others pants. girls there resemble life-sized barbie dolls and the guys there imitate famous rockstars and skateboarders. i feel like im on the set of the television show, "The O.C." Another thing why the school is like a high school is because classes get out at the same time. when classes are about to start, the quad is full of people walking from one class to another, and then suddenly, you see no one. the quad is completely dead. not until classes are over at the hour, the quad is full of people again. very nostalgic. or maybe im just too old for school.

I used to find finance hard for me to understand. it could be because i was burnt out from 17 years of straight school, but suddenly i find myself absorbing the material as if someone was teaching me addition and subtraction. or maybe because admissions costed me $300 per unit x 6 units. whatever the case, this will be beneficial for me. i also took advantage of joining the finance association where i get to meet nerds like me in the finance field and most importantly, i get free food. back at cal poly, i never joined any clubs. i couldnt wait to get home back then. thats why for the 5 years i was there, ive only met 1 person whom i still keep in contact with.

before 1pm, parking is nearly impossible at fullerton. everyday, i get to campus an hour early just to find parking. luckily, i managed to find someone who got out of class the same time i arrived there. so he gave me his number and everyday i would call him to find out where he was parked. i would wait next to his car and voila! works like a charm. but i am screwed if he decides to ditch class.

so the school is awesome. im enjoying it and i wish i had gone there in the beginning. the business department is better and unlike calpoly, its built on flat ground where i dont have to walk up millions of steps to get to each class. disneyland is down the street and the brea mall is up the street. i have no complaints.
