Well, my covert operation for this weekend was a complete success.
OBJECTIVE: To not sit at home and be bored on the computer this weekend.

Saturday I went and hanged(hung) out with calvin. We went to black angus and spent 2 hours there. I asked for so many cokes from the waitress during our endless conversation that I actually felt kind of guilty.. shoulda put an extra dollar or something in the tip =D

Sunday (today) has started and ended extremely early. I woke up at 8 so that i could go to my friends youth group and church service. Though I'm not much of anything religious-wise, I'm a pretty good christian when I need to be one. All those days back in sunday school when I was 10 pay off.. lol. Anyhow, I met five or six cool new people at my friends youth group and then we to the beach and body boarded, sunbathed, picked up on some chicks (well... just talked to them really) and went to lunch. After coming back to my place for awhile and taking a shower, I went back to the youth group with my friend and we listened to another 2 hour sermon and went to dinner at an AWESOME italian place called bj's in brea. I'll have to keep that in mind for Homecoming/WF/Prom next year. So I just got back at 10:30. Whew 8-10.5 =D =D =D =D

I've also managed to come across two new awesome albums: the spiderman soundtrack, and an album called "phenomenon" by thousand foot krutch which my friend introduced me to. So I gots new music to listen too besides the underoath i've been obsessing over the last two months.

So, yea. Other than having alot of fun and music, I've suddenly become some kind of magnet for money. In one weekend I've accumulated $33 from my parents, $10 from a lifelong adult-friend who i pretty much consider my aunt, and $20 from my grandma. Although something like this might be common to most of you, I feel lucky if I can scape my $5 of allowance off of my PARENTS each week, let alone all the others. Hey, I'm not complaining.

I've also unfortunately become a magnet for responsibilities and tribulations. I've somehow found myself 3 tasks that I consider virtually impossible to complete in my arms. I wish myself good luck =D oh hey... keeps life interesting, ya?

In terms of the calender, which is really what this journal is supposed to be nowadays, Me and frank and hopefully some others are going to see spiderman 2 at birch after our internships (at 4) this friday. You wanna hang out with the two coolest cats in so cal? The invitation is open. My parents are leaving for lake powell on saturday and I have to spend the weekend with my grandma. So... next weekend will be incredibly boring. The following weekend, however, I hope to do something with calvin, maybe jo, maybe justin again, and maybe tyler if i can catch him.

So there, that's it. I'll be posting in another 3 or 4 days. See ya till then!
(PS FRANK&CALVIN: let's continue our g-mail chat tommorow!)

Ohhhh Kayy.
First off all, hi to y'all. Good to be back in stormy orange county with the mile-thick cloud layers, packed freeways, and hot chicks.

||vacation
Hawaii was divine. If there was such a thing as relaxing too much, I think I might have pulled it off. From huge, world-class $100 lunches and dinners every day to the beautiful tropical beaches it's not hard to fall into a state of comfortable delerium.

And besides some self-contemplation time, I got a nice tan. Well, nice doesnt really describe it. I look like a toasted slice of white bread whereas I was... untoasted ..the last time y'all saw me. I wish I could find some way to make this tan lasting, but by the beginning of school next year, chances are it's gonna be all gone. =( oh wellz.

I got some pics of three nights and one afternoon, so I can give a small picture of what I did:


This is our first hotel, the sheraton on the north-eastern coast of maui.



This is our second, the fairmount on the north-western coast.



Every single hotel seemed to have a koy pond for some reason. Koy's are scary.



my dad, my bro, and me on a picnic after sailing over to the island lanai



Me pimpin in our mustang convertible. I have to admit, it's a nice looking car, but it sucks at everything else.



My bro, me, and my dad posing on rocks on the southern coast. If you look closely you can see some crazy ass windsurfers. The waves on this side of the island were insane and the coast was all rocks.



My family and me at a particularly expensive dinner. I think my plate of uzu fish was 50 bucks alone.



My family and me posing at a sunset on the southern coast.



Me and my bro posing in one of the pineapple fields.



me, my bro, my dad on the top of one of the volcanos (20,000 feet i think) IT WAS SOOOOO COLD!!



The view from the volcano.



My bro, me, and my dad about to get pounded by a gigantic wave. It may not look like much, but it's as tall as I am, so yea.


|||today
Today has been real weird. It really isnt today, it's today AND yesterday, because I have had no sleep since 48 hours ago in the fairmount in maui. Anyhow, I woke up what was technically yesterday and just sat on the beach for 6 hours until my parents had me clean up and we went to get dinner and to the airport. During our flight from maui, we were flying WITH time, so I lost 4 hours, which is all cool. When I got home my parents wanted me to go straight to my internship. In my head I was all "screw that", so I said I'd go and instead headed over to the movie theatres and watched chronicles of riddick and 80 days around the world, both of which were pretty good. riddick was damn bloody and wasnt as good as i had hoped it would be. So that's pretty much today. I'm going to actually start my internship tommorow.

||||cars
One of the cool things about this vacation was the vast amount of sports car magazines I got to read on the flight there and back and the time I spent talking to my dad about the car I'm going to get next year. As of now I'm really split as to what I should do in this respect. My options are pretty much as follows:
-I can get a new economy car like a lancer/civic/sentra/focus/corolla/etc and customize the hell out of it with a turbo kit and new suspension and tires and the likewise.
-I can save money like hell and get a pretty good pre-built sports car like a se-r spec v/ralliart/cobalt ss/tC
-I can get an awesome used car like an rx-7/supra/3000gt/300zx and refurbish.
My dad is really intent on me getting a used car and he says he'll help me rebuild the engine, which would be really cool .. so as of now that option looks really good to me.

|||||sociality
ANYHOW, the weekend is approaching allready. I need to go around a find people to hang with this weekend because I WILL NOT BE COUPED UP IN MY HOUSE DURING SUMMER. Arrr.

||||||random thoughts
-There is no such thing as a hawaiian chick. I was so relieved when I got back to LAX cuz there were so many hot chicks around.
-There are so many riced out sports cars in hawaii. it's awesome.
-I love airplanes.. except trying to sleep in them.
-gekko's are CUTE!! chameleon's (sp?) are not.
-ford mustangs are GAY. i've really learned to appreciate my car.
-the hawaiian islands are a hell of a lot bigger than they seem.
-koy fish are just damn evil.
-wearing boxers when you swim in the ocean prevents ball-rash =P

okok. tty all latez! I'm gonna be on aim more often starting now.

The going on's in my life? OK.

Saturday me and tyler and jr went exploring. Well, at least me and tyler did. We went over to walnut where jr lives and went to a cool collectors shop called frank and sons and then ate in the puente hills mall. (i must say, the babe count at that place is disappointing)
Sunday was pretty boring. Worked on my fathers website and went to a small party for my mom who just graduated nursing school.
Today was... lol, a complete failure.

[[exhibit a]]: I first had to wake up at 7 so I could run over to the place I was interning at and get all my forms signed (cuz I'm such a procrastinator that i did it at the LAST minute =P) and i got to my class late (not that it mattered).
[[exhibit b]]: I pretty much saw none of my real good friends besides jo and kay, which was gay cuz I thought I would see everyone.. =(
[[exhibit c]]: I called tyler hayes cuz I couldnt find him and I wanted to do something after the <> with him and kay and evan, but apparently he came real early and left at like 8:00 so there went that plan. so then i went around looking for calvin, but he said he was <> and that he was going to the pollack library
[[exhibit d]]: me, evan, kay, and daniel a. decided to go to the movies, and we all wanted to see harry potter 3. however, i wanted to spend my money wisely and see the chronicles of riddick through the lovely movie-hopping process. upon looking up movie times, i found out that riddick and harry potter were playing in the opposite theatres of birch. what a bitch. so i decided not to go to the theatres cuz i didnt want to spend another 7 bucks after a weekend of spending if i wasnt gonna get my money out of it.
[[exhibit e]]: so i drove around for awhile and decided to go to the pollack library to find calvin. i searched for a good 20 minutes for a parking space in CSUF that didnt specifically say "NO PARKING W/O A PARKING PERMIT" and ended up about a mile from the library before I found one.
[[exhibit f]]: I walked to the library, text messaged calvin, and hung out for awhile. when he didnt respond for half an hour i went to find a pay phone (because my cell is running low on minutes and i dont feel like spending 20 bucks on a new prepaid card) the first time i called him he picked up the phone and i heard a brief "hello?" before the phone cut off or something. there went 50 cents. i tried calling him again but it never connected again.
[[exhibit g]]: so I was pretty downtrodden allready, and i decided to go out to lunch before i went back home. i walked BACK to my car and to my pleasant surprise the lovely csuf parking staff had decided to give me yet another parking ticket. so there's a 20 bucks I could have spent on a prepaid card gone. i went to the csuf parking office and asked them about it and apparently the only way you can park on the campus is by purchasing a daytime parking permit for 3 bucks. ridiculous.

so anyhow, i just drove home, deciding that i've wasted enough money in parking tickets for the day. and i've been for the most part playing games on the computer with my brother and myself for the entire day. and that's my day. now my mom is trying to feed me some old chinese chicken salad for dinner. (which i happily refused) so i gotta go make MYSELF dinner. what a bitch.

and just to add onto everything, i'm forced into several mental states:
(1) I'm worried about calvin because of something margie said in her lj.
(2) I'm stressed about how my internship will turn out with my vacation and all.
(3) I got about a thousand jobs in web design that I gotta get my ass on.
(4) I saw every one of the "her"'s today and my heart is burning like fucking melted lead.
(5) I feel really lonely.

Hawaii tommorow. I need this alot. It's my determination to leave everything at home besides my mp3 player and some books. I WILL NOT TOUCH A COMPUTER THERE.

I really need to get reaquainted with myself.

bye. I'll miss you all.
