So, I guess I'll go ahead and update a few things about my life...

I have a motorcycle for those that know me but don't know know that much about me. It's a Hyosung GV250 (that's right, 250cc bike, nice for cheap around town traveling.)

I have a car now. I bought it beginning of June, got it running towards the end of June, and only have a few issues with it now. It's a Nissan 1987 300zx NA (Naturally Aspirated, aka Non Turbocharged). It's mah baby. There are only a few more issues that I need to take care of on the car.

1. Inspection
2. Exhaust leak
3. Brake Fluid Leak
4. Fix Tachometer
5. Body Work
6. Paint Job

That's about it. Then I get to look into making my car fast(er) :P

Lately, all I've been doing is playing video games and work... and watching some anime / tv shows occasionally.

I'm looking forward to the new arcade here in Austin. Arcade UFO...

Um. What else. I dunno, if I think of more, I'll post it up here.

~Ken?

Fuck my life.

Who would've thought sending a couple messages to someone I hadn't spoken to in a while would destroy what happiness I had.

Coming soon...

2007-08-01T19:20:24Z

I have a lot of shit to update about, but not now, gotta go to work in a bit, but it should be up in the next day or two...

2006-11-12T10:37:19Z

Random 4:32am update.

Feeling lonely and depressed. There is a girl I do like, but she doesn't even live in Texas. I call her a lot but she doesn't pick up much. We both have a passion for Dancing games though.

School is shitty. Probably won't be going to UT for much longer... I've stopped going to the classes because there's no way for me to play catch up.

Probably going to pursue ACC soon.

Maybe I'll make another update later on, I have to wake up in 6 hrs and be at work in 7 hrs... Weak sauce...

Sigh...

~Kenneth John

WoW, I'm updating.

2006-09-25T09:14:06Z

So many things have happened since my last update that I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll hit the main points.

Sept. 14th, 2006 - 19th Birthday

Trying to break a bad habit of mine.

Being attracted to a few girls. Having no luck (or perhabs even negative luck in my case) with that.

Purchased World of Warcraft.

Lately, I've been hanging out with my friend Markus a whole lot now. He's so freakin' cool. He's a badass at Street Fighter: 3rd Strike. Unfortunately, while i've been having a lot of fun, my studies are suffering, and I don't know where I'm heading... well, actually, I know where I'm heading, but I just hope I can find the resolve to fix it... but enough about school and problems.

Went to a rave last night.. it was pretty cool, but my shoes got all muddy, and I had my up and down moments... I swear, no matter what, if I attend a social function, 90% of the time, I just get majorly depressed..... Even more so when there's a girl involved. I've been thinking about it lately and I'm not sure what to think.

I'm a jealous, self-conscious person. It's who I am. It was really awkward to attempt dancing at this rave, considering I don't dance, but once I got into it, it didn't matter. I don't know, I think I've fallen into a confused state and I don't know myself anymore. I honestly wish I could just turn back time sometimes. Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk. I don't know, I'm hardcore sleep deprived so I'm going to end this now. Maybe if I think of more to poist, I'll do it. Peace.

~Ken

Damn, Money goes fast with me...

2006-09-02T09:17:11Z

Yeah, so I went here...

(Btw, Fry's is like walmart, but strictly electronics)

and ended up buying a camera.

Ended up spending $1200 today. $600 at Fry's and the other $600 for Rent.

Oh yeah, best fortune from a fortune cookie ever:

"You will read this and say 'Geez! I could come up with better fortunes than that!'"

Fo Srsly. Check it:

Anyways, Miss a lot of friends, hope to see them soon, a special day for me is coming up in the next two weeks. My Birthday! W00t. It's on Sept. 14th, a thursday (Yuck!) so I figure the weekend before will be for Austin people and the one after is for Victoria People. We'll see what happens though.

I'm out, peace!

~Ken

I feel accomplished...

2006-07-25T22:32:34Z

Let's see, just wanted to make a brief update today.

Where to start...

I called my new future roommate. His name is Andrew. He's 25 years old, and he's a hairstylist. He seemed pretty cool on the phone. He asked me a few questions to get to know me and set some ground rules. Basically, Keep the shared living space clean and try to only have friends over on saturday nights, basically. We might get together later tonight if I'm around. He's already seeming cooler than my current roommate... Blech.

After I finished speaking to my roommate, I got a phonecall from some Austin number. I answered, and it was Marble Slab setting up an interview. I told them I'd be there around 3 P.M.

After that, I went to my apartment's leasing office to talk to Heather, the lady that deals with Transferring people and I signed my lease for my "new" apartment. So, as of August 6thish, I should be moving into apartment 834C. It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bath. It'll be three guys and a girl. Should be interesting.

After I finished that, I payed off the $82.13 or whatever it was I owed to my apartment. I also payed my gas bill of approx. $18. Currently, my rent is $435, but once I move, my rent will be a whopping $325, W00000000t!!! More money for me! Lolz.

Sooo... After this, I stayed home til about 1:18pm, when I left to ride the bus... Eesh, the bus ride itself was an adventure, but I'm lazy so maybe some other time.

I get to Marble slab prompt... like an hour early, lol, so I talk with the person, and eventually she asks when I could start training. So, after some thought, I said tomorrow. She asked me to show up at Noon, so no more sleeping in for me... damn. Oh well, I have a job now!

After that, I ate at freebirds, called my mom, Dan, and Cassie, and basically just relaxed. My parents are now looking for a vehical for me. Then, I went to Old Navy and bought a pair of Khakis. Then I rode the bus home, and that was the other half of the adventure. If you want more details, you'll have to ask me in person, cuz I'm lazy. Fo Srsly. Lol, I'm picking up on Jokr/Aleta Lingo... Anyways, Now I'm home and yeah. I dunno, stuff...

Anyways, just wanted to give an update on my life, like I said. I'll talk to you guys later.

~Ken

Stuff...

2006-07-16T09:49:38Z

So, it's 4:35 am, and I'm here alone (for the most part) at Nick and Mary's house with a few sleeping intoxicated people. I'm just kinda stressed out tonight. Don't know why...

Well, it may be that I'm worried about Sean, and some of his actions when he is under the influence strike a nerve with me.

Also, I don't think that I can deal with too many drunken people while I myself am still sober. Their silly antics are okay, but I can only take so much before I start breaking down.

Since I am not much of a social bug, I tend to end up feeling left out and alone at these parties, and it triggers me to become moody and feeling 'blah.' I am by no means asking my friends to pay special attention to me, I'm just writing this to get it out on the table.

I ended up walking to Walgreens during the middle of the party, which is about 3/4ths of a mile away, says Nick. Went there just to get a drink. I got Gatorade.

I'm seriously getting burned out on the whole partying thing.

I should be home for some of this week. Hit me up or something. Too blah to try thinking of anything else to type.

You Are 2: The Helper

You always put on a happy face and try to help those around you.

You're incredibly empathetic and care about everyone you know.

Able to see the good in others, you're thoughtful, warm, and sincere.

You connect with people who are charming and charismatic.

What Number Are You?

Enneagram... I believe Dan and I came to the conclusion that I was a 2 wing 1, possibly... I don't remember 100%, but I think that's what we came to conclude.

La la la...

Back in Victoria, Day 3

2006-06-20T08:47:34Z

Hey everyone.

I've been back in Victoria since Sunday evening. If you didn't know, I dragged my friend Sean with me so he could see that which is Hell. He's finding out how entertaining my dad is, lol. If you've ever met my dad, you'll know what I'm talking about... ><

All I've really been doing is hanging out with a bunch of friends. It's a nice break from responsibility, but as soon as I get back to Austin, I need to buckle down and take care of business, such as applying for jobs and finding an apartment. I might try applying at Denny's where my friend Mato and Michael work. Maybe I'll get lucky though and Roxor will make me a Tech apprentice or some BS like that, lol... Talk about wishful thinking.

Been talking a lot with my new friend Aleta, aka Jokr. She's awesome. She says she'll visit Austin again some time in the hopefully near future. I look forward to that. I need someone to keep me trying to progress on ITG.

Lately, this past weekend, I've been stressed out a lot. The funny thing was, none of it had to do with myself. It was mainly due to other people's stress and mood that I turned into the thing I did. I hate being like that, because if I'm in a bad mood, I drag people down with me, but this is also true for everyone else. If you're in a bad or unhappy mood, you will drag everyone down with you. So, I'm sorry if I've snapped at anyone, my temper has been shorter than usual.

I bought some new shoes today. I tried playing DDR in them. It was somewhat awkward but I could still play, so I just have to get used to it. I managed to get 10 greats on Max 300 and I got One More Extra Stage. I'm sorry that I play so much that I got this good. Or am I? Shrug.

I think I kind of broke the DDR machine in Austin. Well, it's my fault. I added spacers to the sensors so the arrow doesn't have to be pressed as hard to trigger the sensor, but the right side sensor on the up arrow of the left pad tends to stick for some reason. I think the angle bracket over the sensor occasionally gets into a bind and causes the sensor to stay depressed. I need to try to fix that as soon as I'm back in town. Austin with a bad DDR machine is a bad thing.

I haven't decided yet, but I think my ITG name is going to change from SteamingJava to IKN.KEN? ... hehe, Aleta knows what I'm talking about :)

Anyways, I'm really friggin tired and I can't think, so I'll just add stuff or post again later. Take it easy all!

Peace!

Voiceless! Screaming!

2006-06-06T18:45:46Z

Ahh, I love X Japan.

So, as of late, I have been searching with a job along with my friend Zach. One of the coolest people I know. Been hanging out with friends and such, but at the same time, I'm also slowly realizing that I have a lot of crap to take care of. I'm still putting some of it off, but I'm getting around to it slowly. I actually turned down going to Ingram Mall to go job hunting.

I really miss my friend Alex. She and her boyfriend are German and they left Austin for an indefinite amount of time. I can only hope they return sometime to visit. They left last week Wednesday for New York, and eventually back to Germany. I have Alex's contact information though, so I look forward to keeping in touch with her as much as possible.

ITG National Doubles and Freestyle Tournament this Saturday. I am going no matter what. I hear there is a chance my DDR / ITG 'Role Model' or 'Idol,' whatever you'd call it, will be there. Regardless, I will meet a lot of cool people there, and I hope to make some new friends. Then, after that, Party at Zach's! Woot. Then, hopefully, people won't get messed up to the point where I won't be able to get to the Sunday Singles Summer Tourney. I really want to enter it, just for fun. Wish me luck guys.

A lot of changes are coming in the near future. I hope everything goes right, and I hope things work themselves out. Anyways, I can't think of anything else at the moment to update about, but keep in touch with me.

Also, since Ish is coming up to Austin this Friday, he's willing to take one or two people with him, so yeah. Maybe I'll see you guys around.

~Ken

Good Times Can Fade, but Memories Live On

2006-05-31T07:16:00Z

So, I haven't updated in a while... I don't know... Just lazy I guess.

I had a pretty good day today. I feel like I've accomplished a lot. There's still a lot more I have to do though.
Today, Zach and I woke up and went to go Job Hunting. We hit up a few different places and got applications. Now all I have to do is fill them out before Noon tomorrow... crap, 10 more hours... Oh well.

I also got to hang out with my friend Alex today, and help her out with computer stuff. She had an external hard drive that didn't work, so I fixed it. We hung out, and talked about random stuff. What saddens me is that she is from Germany, and she is leaving with her boyfriend, Florian in about 12 hours. I'm really going to miss both of them. I hope that I get to see them again in the not too distant future.

I just wanted to thank all my friends (no names, so I don't leave anyone out, except for one...), especially Alex for showing me kindness and caring and leaving me with the memories I have.

Memories...
Even though I have bad memories, they help me to make better decisions and to be a better person.
The Good Memories make me happy, and help me to never forget my friends.

I love you all, and Alex, if you ever read this, you'll always have a warm place in my heart. :)

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

Zach - You're crazy! Sending messages to random girls asking them if they want to maybe go and get coffee... and posting your zodiac love compatibility in the message as well... Lol.

Ish - Letting me drive Gertrude around and hanging out with all of OUR friends, and having a great time. I look forward to seeing you again. Hang in there my friend. Yo! Best friend ever! :)

Robert - I <3 U

Alex - "What would it be like to sleep next to a corpse?" "What if there was a python in your closet" "If a monster were to eat you while lying down, would it start from your head or feet?"... Haha, You're my very favorite crazy German Lady :) Thanks for everything, and I hope we see each other again!

Flo (even though you probably won't ever see this) - I know we never talked much, but thanks for inviting me to all the parties and letting me stuff my face with the food you made! Take care, and good luck to you and alex!

Anyways, take it easy everyone. This is just the beginning.

~Ken

I'm still around??

2006-05-15T01:06:48Z

Yeah, I am. I'm a lurker. I'm always checking up on how people are doing.

So, I'm really bored at the moment, so I figure I'd take the time to make an update to let people know how I'm doing.

Parent's visited a week or two ago. Got me food and money, so that's a good thing. Then later that night, Ish showed up and him, my friend Sean, and I hung out. Went to Dennys and the arcade, where Sean lost his keys. It was fun, and I look forward to the next time.

Had a couple of finals this past Thursday... Blah... One more final left on this Tuesday. Thank God.

This weekend was pretty cool. Friday, Sean, John, Cassie, Palanco, Adrian, and this one other guy whose name I can't remember at the moment, we all went to Gattitown to go play ITG2. I beat some old scores and did better. Sean beat me in only one song, but that will change eventually. Saturday, I was hoping to hang out with my new friend from Victoria, Natty. Natty is Kerry Malik's younger sister, and Kerry was one of my old classmates from middle school. Unfortunately, Kerry called me saying her tire had a bulge so they didn't want to risk driving on it, so needless to say, I didn't get to hang out with her. Later on, I hung out with Dan and went to an awesome party. Drank a little bit, smoked a lot of Hookah... Good stuff... I don't really feel like going into all of the details, but it was fun bouncing on the trampoline.

Afterwards, Dan, Kruz, and I went to Dennys. Then I went home with Dan and crashed at his place.

Then basically, Sunday, I woke up, slept, woke up, slept, woke up, slept, watched TV at dan's, then went home, and here I am now. That's really Uber condensed, but that's the gist of things.

Ish, if Johnny is free, you should bring him down if you come to Austin next weekend. 2nd of all, If you do come down in time for Dan's party (it'll either be friday or saturday of this weekend, but since his work called him, he's unsure of the date), I'm sooo making you guys go. BTW, it's a themed party so make sure you dress accordingly. The theme is: Goth.
Also, if you drag Johnny along, we're so going back to Gattitown for ITG2. That's about all I have to say, if anyone wants to talk to me, they know how to reach me. Bye.

Prank Me

Okay, so, now that I've gotten April Fools crap out of the way... I'm soooo kinda tired, but it's cool, I had a good time yesterday.

So, My friend Sean spent the night a my place the day before the tourney. I wake up, shower, and we end up going to sonic and eat with Dan for a little bit. Afterwards, around 11:20, we leave sonic to go to the Arcade. I get in there and no one is there yet. I get a call from Si and he tells me he's outside and needs help unloading drinks and such. Unload stuff, get inside and JonZ shows up. Crap, 1/2 chance of winning 1st. Oh well.

So, we start doing prelims or whatever when everyone shows up... The song everyone does is Healing Vision: Angelic Mix. Light/Standard people play light, Standard/Heavy people play standard. I ended up getting 17 greats, 1 good. This guy Justin got 18 greats. Guy from Houston, Graham got 11 greats, JonZ got 7 greats. I could've done better, I was just having an off time...

Basically, Graham, Justin, and JonZ were my only competition. After prelims and such, Dan, Brandon, and Lauren showed up to watch and chill. I was really glad to see them, especially Lauren :). So, eventually, I'm playing against JonZ... I had to pick a song, he picked the difficulty. I picked Stoic because we had a small kind of competition going on to see who could AAA it first. When I first met Jon, he could get 3 greats, and I could get like 15 or 20. I finally AAA'd it and he hasn't yet. So, we're playing, and he messed up in the middle a bit. I got 5 greats, he got 8 greats and like 2 goods or osmething. I won that round. Now JZ picks the song and I pick the difficulty... Unfortunately for me, he picks L'amour Et al Liberte or whatever it is... and I stupidly pick heavy, so therefore I basically gave him the win, because he has a better PA on the songs with weirder Rhythms. I had like 40 greats, he had about 17... So, I lose my chance for first or 2nd place. I have a shot at third though. Soooo I face Justin who was Reaaallly good... (3 greats on Daikenkai Heavy (a.k.a. "Des-ROW" to some of the silly Tilt Regulars... pfft)) and the first song he chooses is Dance Dance Revolution, and I move it to challenge, but he guilt trips me to put it back on heavy... He had like 7 greats, 20 for me. Then I pick Rhythm and Police (Good call on my part)... I get 7 greats and he gets like 20ish... We Tie by having the same number of Perfects and greats, haha. So, for tie breaker, we hit random, and we got some crap ass song that I don't remember at the moment, and he beat me. So, I got 4th. Justin got 3rd, JonZ got 2nd, and Graham got 1st. Congrats to them :)

So, hung out with my friends for a lil bit, then eventually went with Dan to Alex's place for a BBQ... Hoo Boy....

Basically, they got me to drink enough Alcohol to become Tipsy... not Drunk, but tipsy... (I had a lot to eat there too... two bowls of stir fry... a couple of muffins... nearly two freaking huge hamburgers). It wasn't until late though that I got that way though. It was definitely interesting, it felt like I had been up for a day and a half or soemthing... You know how you get when you're really tired and kinda rock around a little bit because you have trouble supporting your own body? That's what I was like, but I could still think Decently... my balance was slightly impaired, but I could perform the FST (Field Sobriety Test) that cops perform on the road, so I wasn't too horrid... you can ask Madeline, I called her around 12am-ish because I missed her and I had not been talking to her too much lately. Anyways, they also coerced me into trying Hookah, which is basically smoking flavored tobacco. It was Raspberry and Mint flavor mixed. I was trying to figure out how to blow hoops like Dan can. Oh well. We had a great time, and it was fun! If I can get dan to send pictures, maybe I'll post them.

I guess I'm a bad boy now or something, lol. But, as I thought someone said (although I might be completely wrong), you need to try everything at least once... I still don't believe that completely, but there are a few things I don't mind. As long as I drink with close friends that I know will take care of me, then it's fine... Oh, btw, the people I were with... it was Dan, Alex, 'Flo', Marcus, and IC? (his name is Sebastian but he went by IC or something like that)... Alex, Flo, Marcus and IC are German :P so yeah, lots of drinking, haha. I love these people to Death, but unfortunately, they're leaving in June and I don't know if they'll be back :(

Anyways, that was the Gist of my day, I left out a couple things here and there, but yeah, don't feel like typing anymore so just hit me up or leave a comment... Or don't do any of that, it doesn't matter that much. Anyways, take care everyone.

~Ken

P.S. I hope you have a not-so-stressful day at work today, Dan!

Wish me luck...

2006-04-01T16:16:50Z

Okay basically, I'm going to be in a DDR tournament in the next couple of hours, so this should be interesting. Wish me luck, I'll post more info later. Peace!

...The Pain...

2006-02-26T04:52:21Z

Okay, so uber long day today... Basically was at Gattitown where the ITG2 machine resides for um... 8 hours roughly...

I managed to pull off three accomplishments. I passed Vertex Expert (w00t), Pandemonium Hard (jesus, no more stamina left), but the first one I passed that I was like Holy shit yes!!! was this...

Yes, I passed Determinator Expert... I had like 2 mm of life bar left, hence the Barely on the graph.

Unfortunately, Dan decided not to record this time around, so I was just like... Bah... oh well... Then later on, my friend Tess, Jeremy, and Lauren showed up (They showed up around 5:20, and we had been there since about 1:30ish... They said they'd be there around 4:30ish)

Anyways, later on around 7ish, ran into some drama with this bratty 12 year old or something...

Basically, these two girls were playing, on Novice, and so I put my card up on the machine so I can play next. As soon as they finish and begin entering their names, this lil girl (looked like 9 or 10 I guess) swipes her card and puts a credit in. I was just kinda like wtf!? but I stayed calm (Oh, forgot to mention this, when I went to the machine to go see about playing, I was not necessarily upset, just one of those random mood swings had happened, so I was feelin a bit blah), and I figured this girl was new so she didn't know about the lines and such. So one of the other girls that had just played also put in a credit and played together with her. I was fine with this...

A large fellow I met tonight through my other friends, his name is Mark, asked one of the girls how long they were planning on playing because I was up next, then him, then jeremy, and she was like "I dunno, a long time" or something... Then her mom says to mark "Excuse me sir, what are you telling my daughter" and he calmly explained that other people wanted to play. So the girl's mother asks her that when she's done to get off and come along or something, and she replied "Why!?" in that kind of calm, I'm a fucking princess and I do as I fucking please, type bullshit way, and I was losing it... I seriously wanted to beat the shit out of our princess here... or just beat up on something inanimate so I wouldn't really get in trouble.

Anyways, I finally get to play because the girls leave once they're done playing, so I go, I play a couple songs, get stars on them, (They were easier songs), although, I think both of them I ranked 2nd because I was always just 1% under the 1st place score... Oh well, 3rd / final song, I played determinator just for the hell of it, but my feet were hurting, legs were fatigued, etc. and when I got to the first death run (the first uber hard long run) I just said "Fuck this" and stepped off, failed, got my USB Jump Stick (whatever the hell they're called) and went to the booth where Lauren and Dan were chillin.

Layed down, lightly punched the wall above my head, Dan was like "Hey!" and then inquiried if I was Okay, and I sat up, explained what happened, and then Dan tried to console me, but I knew I'd be fine in a lil bit. Thanks though Dan, I know you're reading this :) You're a great friend! So, I got up, went back to the machine, found out dan had to leave and he was my ride, so I ended up seeing if Jeremy could take me home because I wanted to stay. He could, so I transfered my stuff from one car to the other, stayed at Gatti town a bit longer, and eventually Lauren helped cheer me up hardcore :) It's too bad she lives on the north end of austin so seeing her doesn't happen much.

Anyways, Jeremy, Tess, and Lauren took me home, helped my carry my crap into my Appt, and then took off because they were a bit late in getting home. I hope sometime, they will be able to come over again! Anyways, just needed to rant and stuff. I'll hear from everyone later at some point!

Peace!

Happy Birthday Kelly!!!

Yeah, I decided to make an update just for Kelly. Today (Thursday), she turns 18 so w00t for her! Unfortunately I won't see her, or anyone else for like 238423472034792384 days... Sigh. Oh well. Hope she has fun in Houston and San Antonio! I still suck at DDR, and I'm sucking worse on guitar than I used to. I recorded a small audio clip for Johnny of this song I'm trying to learn, but I guess I might as well make it to where anyone can check it out. This clip is no where near flawless, just keep that in mind. The song is an arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D.

You can get it from here:

Anyways, blah, bye.

Partiness...

2006-02-19T16:39:20Z

Hey all, for those that don't know, which I don't see how, but I'm in Victoria for the weekend (not much left of it though, gotta head back in like 6 hours I think). Let's see, Friday I visited Kelly at her job because I had a gift for her from Ushicon because I know she wanted to go, and I also know that her bday is in... 4 days from now, so I figured it could maybe double as a bday gift. It wasn't anything huge, but I think she liked it.

Went by the mall briefly with Johnny and saw Fabian (Congrats on manager, btw!) and Jesse.

Then went to Rob's house and played some DDR Extreme 2 Online and ITG, although, we had to perform surgury on his pad before we could play.

Then basically a lot of other fun stuff went on but I'm too tired to try and remember everything, although it was very fun! Especially towards the end of the night with beatmania and stuff!

Saturday was a tad hectic. Had to help dad load radio junk into his friends truck, and i said I was going to bring Johnny to the mall, but he found a ride with his dad. Then went to the mall briefly and saw Heather, Ashley, Johnny, Joel, Ian?, Odie, Fabe, umm... JM... That's all I can think of. Anyways, I went to Roberts afterwards where I found out his new control box fried, we think. So, he has a pad but no way to play on it. Oh yeah, Kolby was there too... We ended up making a new Ghetto control box and went to liz's party. It was pretty cool, not too many people that I knew. Played some ITG (Pandemonium Hard first song = death) and eventually rob's controller crapped out. So, people started playing Soul Cal 3, and other people played Smash Bros. Melee, and Some tried Taiko Drum Master. I hooked up Beatmania at one point and played a few songs, and then packed it up and stuff.

Twice during the party, something triggered me to go from happy to insanely down and I just felt like I couldn't stay in the house, so I sat in the car and listened to music the first time, and eventually just drove off and got my dad tootsie rolls from HEB and then came back. The second time, I just jammed out for a bit until I felt kinda decent. Eventually my mood returned to normal. Thanks Liz and Kelly.

We went to Denny's and it was Mark, Kelly, Kelsey?, and me driving I think maybe... I was the last to leave because I decided to follow Kelly. It was interesting, the light at Airline and Laurent was red on 3 sides but the left side, and like after waiting 30 seconds, everyone on my side of traffic just started running the red light so yeah, fun stuff.. I then passed up Kell, and maybe mark, got onto navarro and just started driving normal... about like 5 over... then Kelly passes me, and my speedy side got the best of me and I'd pass her, then mark passed me, and I passed him back, then Kelly passed me, and she was on the left side and we were at a red light... So we're lined up at this light, it turns green and she beats me off the line. I can't push my dad's car hard at first be cause he says to take it easy on the shift from 1st to 2nd. Anyways Kelly ended up having a slow car in front of her and to her right so she was stuck, and I saw an opening to the right, so I cheated / used my ninja skills and took off to the right, and got to Denny's maybe 30 seconds before everyone else? It was fun, though, and then I was just chilling in the parking lot waiting for them jamming to music, and I see Kelly make a dash for the door, so I jet and I run into the wall next to the door, using my foot to stop my momentum, slightly hurting my pinky in the process (I drew blood so yeah). And then I held the door open so people could come in and that ends the Denny Race saga.

Just basically chilled at denny's and had food... after I ordered my food, I got a phone call from my sister asking me to pick her up, so I was like "I'll brb" and jetted... Got my sis, came back and like 1 min after I sat down, my food gets there and I chow down. Oh, I also introduced Robert to this popping thing you can do with your hand and he's trying to get that down now.

Left denny's, dropped rob off, went back to Liz's place and just chilled for a bit. I watched Kelly type up her LJ post and yeah, I dunno, I'm a whore, what can I say...

Basically some people started watching house of wax and yeah, things just started winding down... When Joel and Kelly decided to leave, I decided to head out as well, and here we are now.

That's a slightly more detailed outline of the party. Oh yeah, I played Guitar Hero for like the 5th time in my life and I passed Bark at the Moon Expert for the first time... Barely.

As far as my personal life goes, it's kinda gone to hell, grades are starting to slip, but Imma try to fix that soon hopefully. As far as girls, there are a few girls I do like but the two I do like have boyfriends so I'm not getting into that. The one girl that I really like, I could realistically see having a relationship with, but I don't know, she says I confuse her. Sigh, oh well.

Anyways, I've been typing for... 40 mins and I'm done, so I will hope to hear from you guys soon!

Peace.

Ahh, the crazy times with Dan, Matt, and me...

I feel sorry for the people on 56k... DDR Piccy time!

So, first of all, I managed to SDG (Single Digit Great) Sakura...

That was some time ago though..
Then, a day or two ago, I managed to do this...

and this...

Both in the same day... much pain from playing MaxX Unlimited like 5 or 6 times, Paranoia Survivor 5 or 6 times, and LoM about 15 times that day.... Owie...

Then, today....

Just... holy crap, lol... I'm addicted.

Yeah, I still suck at DDR though, I need to get better, so I can be warm java, and hopefully hot java soon :) I gotta work on Stepmania and IIDX also... and ITG... I will pass Determinator!!!

Um... Mmkay, that's about it... byebye

"...Rage, I feel ashamed now, 'cause I can see deep in you nothing..."

Guano Apes - Innocent Greed <--Above Quotes from said song.
Awesome song.

Not much is up with me lately... Studies have been slightly slipping, but hopefully I will remedy this soon. I may see about going with my friends the next couple of weekends to a couple of concerts. I don't know, Kelly and Liz's bday's are coming up. Shrug... I guess we'll have to see how I feel. I have been playing some IIDX, DDR, and ITG, but I'm sure you guys (and gals, let's not be sexist now...) could've figured this out already.

Oh yeah, I went to Ushicon on Friday with Robert. It was a blast. Not too much to update on I guess, but I figured I needed to update since it's been a while. Just letting you people know I'm still alive and kicking.

Anyways, maybe I'll talk to some of you guys and gals on the phone later, shrug. We'll see.

P.S. I found some truth in this so I figured I'd post it.

You Are The Sun

You represent the best of life - vitality, success, and and truth.
You tend to have a strong, centered, balanced personality.
Inspiration and discovery are your fortes. You are very mentally strong.
A talented mind, you tend to excel at math, philosophy, and music.

Your fortune:

As well as you have done in the past, the future is going to be filled with more success.
A new creative project is coming your way. Feed it, and it will grow into something huge.
Great riches, recognition, prosperity, or happiness is coming your way.
And it's possible that a fantastic vacation, or a new baby, is coming sooner than you think.

What Tarot Card Are You?

P.P.S. I finished reading Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress a few days ago, and I actually passed Abyss ~The Heavens Remix~ on Light 7... what a bitch of a song.

...in a while maybe... I dunno yet...

I'll make this short and to the point.

Madeline decided we should break up. That's about it.

Maybe if she changes her mind, I'll take her back, but we'll see what happens I guess. Fuck.

I just hope she's happy, whatever she does.

Sigh, If you need me, you should know how to get ahold of me.

Bye.
