I’m alive!

Okay… wow where to begin, where to begin?

Am so glad and relieved that I’m all done with a strictly math course for the rest of my life. Passed this stupid Calculus class with a B. Woot, and now moving on…

Oh, I got a new car and am loving it. Looks like an ‘08, but it is a ‘06 with black interior leather and sunroof and some other sweet stuff my old car did not have.

Hmm.. I’m no longer a XBOX360 owner. Fourshots – you were wrong, my friend. But now I have an itch to get a Playstation 3 that already comes with Metal Gear Solid 4. *sigh* But first things first, I’m getting computer speakers and a new LCD computer monitor to complete my new computer makeover (I’ve already bought a new tower, keyboard and mouse.) Technology is seriously owning me.

I think I’m addicted to LovinCup. It is a pretty groovy place and very cultured. And, that’s about it. Good night!

WHY SO SERIOUS?

You know, fuck Movie Reviews. I ain’t got too much time for it. But I can say this, The Dark Knight is an epic movie. 

Life’s okay, not exactly great. Am almost done with Calculus – 3 hours of class time, an unit exam, and a final exam left. Can’t wait, I’m celebrating it by going back to home sweet home Colorado and that won’t last for long. A couple days at the most, but I’ll be picking up my Envoy and head back East to Myrtle Beach. Girls in bikinis and booze galore with my old friends from Freshman year.

Next post will be in September. Too busy from now ’til then. Don’t waste your time coming back here with high hopes I have posted another. 

Why so serious?

An Extraordinary Anniversary

I made a long-awaited trip out to Niagara Falls this afternoon, I took my girlfriend with me there for our anniversary. Being in upstate for several years and surprisingly enough, I’ve never made an attempt to visit the Falls. No words could describe our time there, the scenic is absolutely gorgeous and a ride on the Maid of the Mist made it even more majestic. Thank god for free ponchos provided for us on the ride at the bottom of the falls.

Mixed emotions aside, we had a good time sitting at a park (may I include – beautiful weather) and we talked for a good while. We also took our time looking at many different tourists, there were a lot of tourists from India. I told her I want to see the Taj Mahal. 

We got on the trolley and made our way to the Top of the Falls restaurant. We first dined outdoor but it has gotten colder and windy, we moved inside. The view was breathtaking. Spinach and Cheese Bread is an appetizer to die for. 

This anniversary is not like any of our previous anniversaries – this was special under many circumstances. Thus, “an extraordinary anniversary”. 

Te Amo, G.

A Non-Movie Review Post

I’m gonna take a brief break from doing Movie Reviews, it’s starting to make my blog looking a little bleak. I’ve decided to write Movie Reviews for WALL-E, Wanted, and Hancock at some point when I have nothing else to add. 

As for me working out, I have not had the chance to work out at the gym much after the 4th of July weekend. And no, it’s not a bad thing but I am feeling much better right now. I still am active however, I’ve been working a lot outside for Gladys and did some wood working this time around. I can’t wait for Gladys to get back from her trip so she can finally pay me and so I can finally pay myself for food and gas. Anyways, so I’ve been working on her yards – also I have for the first time at this campus I ran the entire loop without stopping. I’m still in shock that I had accomplished this, it was like 95 out and I was sweating so much, was very thirsty. I was glad to prep an already ice-cold glass of water when I get back – that was probably what kept me going and all I could think of was that water. And with running, I’ve also played some tennis for fun with my girlfriend and been to the pool a couple times. So it does feel good to be very active. I have mentioned earlier in this blog, I started out this summer topping at 198 pounds. So far after approximately 7 weeks, I am now at 184 pounds. I’ve been very careful with this losing weight thing as I know losing pounds fast could be deadly. I still eat normally and tried to eat as much as I could without forcing the food to come down. I still got ways to go but I do feel good. It’s a bummer that I forgot to pose myself for the “Before/After” shoot. But for those who knows me, would probably noticed differences once I shave some more pounds. 

As for Project XBOX Demolition, I have found a buyer and I feel good that it’s going to someone I know. So it’s going to be out of my hands sometimes in August when he’s got the $$. Yes, I’ll miss it but I’d rather not play it anymore. There’s no urgency for that as I was aware new titles will be out. 

Calculus is going alright – got a test this Friday. Wish me luck and I should be studying than writing this up. Well – I’ve got all day Thursday to make up for it. 

Until then.

Independence Day ‘08

It has been a while since I have written my last post, I better get back to this. This post is going to be very simple and general.

My girlfriend added 5-week summer courses as she came back from the Southwest program and she needed a way to get back to New York. I left Rochester for the Independence Day weekend celebrating with my girlfriend and her family. It was a lot of fun and we saw fireworks at the Naval Academy. It was also a very relaxing weekend, as I would not want to go into many details about it on this. Memories are sometimes made personally and best when telling a story in person. But I made the trip back in my “Bat Mobile” and my girlfriend is here for the summer – that makes summer more fun right now.

We saw Wall-e and it was a funny movie and it was evidently also creative. I saw many purposes of the movie as a result of what’s happening in today’s world – I don’t want to be a spoiler so I’ll leave it at that.

I have thought out of things to add to this post earlier but I forget. So you know I’m still around and well. Ciao!!

George Carlin

Okay maybe I have killed George Carlin.

I happened to have had a link to this wiki site of “The Seven Dirty Words” that Mr. Carlin humored about in my beta days of developing WordPress (on my header). And a couple of days ago, I took it off due to a much improved design of my site right now. And one of my friends left me messages on my AIM saying,

“George Carlin died! You had this site of him up in your blog and you should dedicate a post to him!”

I’m making it simple and quick because frankly I do not know him. I only know him as an entertainer and a comedian – I have all the respect in the world for comedians as I grew up watching my brother watching Comedy Central staged by all those random stand-up comedians trying to make a living. Maybe the next Chris Rock or… George Carlin.

It is up to you to decide that my “voodoo” skills has killed him or not when I took off the wiki link…

Rest in peace George Carlin.

Project XBOX360 Demolition

Project XBOX360 Demolition? WTF is that?

My goal this summer was to get rid of my XBOX360, which has been sitting on my desk for 2 years (give or take). I know I have said I’ll do that/say that several times in the past and that was probably due to a frustration or a phase I’ve gone through (ha). But this time – it is for real.

• I’ve told my girlfriend about this a couple of days ago. She has said she will be mad if I get rid of it. I know she’s gonna feel the opposite – she’ll be more happy since I will be spending more time with her without a XBOX.

• I’ve told Voyeurism and Vegas too. They don’t believe that I will do it.

But – of course I wouldn’t “demolish” my XBOX like hammerin’ it to pieces in the streets. It would be scripted more along the lines like a divorce. My outline on how do divorce my XBOX was to reduce the amount of time I make out with it (gaming). Simple? Yeah. Evidence – I haven’t played on it since Friday (5 full days).

Some of you may want to know WHY? Well, I feel that I am not getting much out of it. I know it’s entertaining and fun but we don’t make money for pushing the buttons like the Ogres do. I feel I am wasting my life away sitting on my ass for however many hours a day and not making a single buck. Now that I am very, very, VERY broke and I realize if I never had a XBOX, I may have a lot more money than I have today.

Also, now I am starting to stereotype gamers. I don’t know what reason or why but I feel I’ll be better off without gaming. I’m making this a negative thing but believe me, I’ve had many good memories from gaming – in no particular order:

• Introducing Halo 3 as a sport for RIT/Gallaudet Sports Weekend 2008
• GRAW with Crazy J, JBLAZE, and Voy
• Halo 2: Midship CTF against Voy – last flag EPIC FAIL
• FarCry, Rainbow Six Vegas
• Buttloads of LANs
• Tournament hosted by a club at IT building with gay gametypes
• MLG Meadowlands Playoffs ‘06, MLG Chicago ‘07 (never made it, got lost in the city), MLG Meadowlands ‘08

NOTE: I’m not going to vanish from the gaming world of course, I’ll still be a fan of Major League Gaming (MLG).

And, a new hobby would be nice. I’ll figure it out as soon as my XBOX is off the desk as it has been sitting there for me the past 2 years. A motorcycle? Maybe.

I’ll keep you updated on it.

Summer & Calculus

I don’t know where to start, but I’ll manage it eventually with a quick life update. Thought this site is a great way to keep in touch with old friends.

I’m still in Rochester and taking a summer course. Its a little different this summer with Neil and Jon left to Londonderry and Omaha for good. There are also some friends I’ve known since freshmen who graduated and left as well, I wish them the best in life and am hoping to keep in touch occasionally. Gea’s in New Mexico for a couple days and missing her.

I’m expecting a new automobile by the end of this summer so I’m excited after 2 frustrating years paying off repairs for my “Bat Mobile” – will be keeping you updated on this in August!
