i finally gave these back to allen,
but i want them back, i didnt really watch them XD

well today was pretty interesting, not a lot happened, but it was interesting

i was on the train (bart) last night and i get a phone call, its carolyn, she asks me what i am doing today (today being saturday) and then asks if i can do her a favor. i say yes, which causes me to need to get my dad's car, not a problem, i just need to make sure gas is in there... one thing that i think is pretty good about it is i get to spend time with dez, i havnt spent much time with her, and i want to start doing it more often, it sounds corny, but its true.. any way, that also allows me to do something that has been bugging me for a while, i got allen his to-heart VCDs back to hime, and another thing about those, the lables make it impossible to play them in my computer, the disk heats up and instead of being able expand naturally, it warps.. but thats not important, anway... lwts seek, oh yeah the errand... i wake up and i'm suposed to......uhh... i stopped writing so i dont know where i was... i paused and made dinner, and then carolyn came over... anyway, from what i remember, i goofed off with dezzy, and then we went on the errand, which i am not supposed to talk about (dont ask) but anyway, it was fun, carolyn and i watched Ice Age (still a great movie) and we ate some chicken teriaki (i tried to make it, turned out pretty well if i say so myself) then the movie ended, we started watching Speed on tv and she called for a ride... then i got really board and decided carolyn hadnt been tickled in a while, well by my standards so i attacked and tickled for about three minuets straight, and anybody tickled by me, can account that thats some serious tickliking! anyway, the door bell rang and the carolyn daddy was there, and carolyn took off, that was minuets ago and i am now finishing bloging so that you have something to read and yah... thats about it.. i'll gab later, send e-mails about commenting systems!!! i need it!!!! anyway talk to ya later...

well its that time again, yet another little re-vamp to the connections page... with any luck giman.org will be up soon and then i can host my blog from there with some cool layout, or not, that would mean that i have time and i certainly dont have that... oh wait, i am in computer class at school.... *SNORE* its not that its boring, its that i have met, and known the guys that wrote the original MS Word and Excel. so to have me "re-learn" it is like telling some body that speaks fluent english that they couldnt explain how to speak it... wait... thats what english class is.. nevermind.... anyway.. not too much going on, got a new "interest" going on, and as far as i can tell things are developing pretty well, i also have internet in the dorm room now, so you may be able to find me online more often, its such a pain going to school in full uniform just to go online, and becides, i can do it from the comfort of my room, with as much or as little clothes on as i want.... yeah.... umm... okay nevermind about that one... anyway, my post right below this one was suposed to be made some time in the past week, i think last wednesday to be precise... but i cant be sure, well i can, but i'm too lazy to see when the file it was sitting in was created. and i dont care.

lets see what has happened reciently... i went to Mac World this year, best 35 bucks i've spent in a while, had lots of fun, and i even got to play with all of the new hardware, oh my god, lemme just say that i now really want a Wacom Cintiq tablet like nobody's buisness! it is the coolest thing to be able to write/draw on your monitor... that and i could freak some gullible people out with it... the whole, aww man, thats not right, *grab pen* draw on document on screen... freak out person watching !!! but i'm not malicious... kay, but only a little.... lets see.... hrm... not too much else.... ooh.. my brother brought a 17" AL-G4 over to show it to my dad, man they are huge, heavy and the coolest thing in the world (i still like the 12" better, anybody want a laptop?) let me tell you, nothing beats opening a computer, turning off the lights and having the keyboard light up... wait, not how you think, there is no light shining on it from the display, the keyboard actually has embedded fiber optics and laser cut keys that allow a beautiful light azul to shine through the silver keys, and to top that, its light sensing, so when the lights get brighter... the keyboard shuts off.. as well as letting the machine sit for a minuet or so... its the coolest thing to see it in action you have no idea. (i seem to do this every time apple finally releases my ideas in their computers, too bad i dont get the money for all of this stuff.... ) that seems to be all for this installment, i will try to blog more often... sorry my comments arent working, if anybody has a client other than YACCS (i dont like having to sign up for comments) or if they just know how to write their own comments, or even send me source and i could host my own comments.....) let me know cause mine are down, and i think its perminent now... :-( anyway... talk to you all later

i had some really cool ideas for a new layout, and things like that, but i never followed it up.... sucks huh?
Well i am finally back from a week (almost a full week away) of vacation... it was fun, i saw some family on my mom's side, and visited my sister for her Wedding Reception.... notbad, but not my fave thing to do.... i also went to Disney Land and DCA.... much fun was had by all, and i have to say, STITCH RULES.. anybody that has seen Lilo&Stitch knows that stitch is the best character D has come out with. i know i am gonna be flamed just for likeing a little blue furry guy, but i dont care, he is cute
nothing much else, i got some cool presents for christmas. Veronica gave me Ice Age and a sketch she had been working on, i got a gift card from my brother, i got a Graphire2 tablet from my dad, my mom gave me a neat japanese picture thingy and a really cute teddy bear, she also got me an iron and an ironing board and one of those lightning lava lamp thingies... really cool.... thats about all... i felt kinda bad cause i didnt have a whole lot of money to get presents for peoples... for instance, only two of my friends got presents from me. well real presents anyway. everybody else that got something from me was a card.. but i take time to pick out cards dangit! so they were all good and hand picked. what else... i am currently trying to kindle a relationship and will know soon wether or not i am wasting my time, hopefully i am not cause its really lonely when you dont have anybody to go out with or talk to on the phone for no reason (well, friends arent the same so nyah!) i think thats about all i have to say for now. yeah... thats it
