mr j: have fun changing hotpants, just what every final fantasy game needed, they finally figured it out
mr j: congratulations square-enix
so i have taken time off from playing ffx-2 and working and studying for my finals to blog to my dear sweet blog. i started listening to my playlist again starting from the beginning. we're currently cruising through the B's thank you. (blink182). thanksgiving break is winding down to a halt. in fact in about 4 minutes at this moment it will be tomorrow which ironically by the time i post this will be today...or whatever. anyways, i havent done too much. saturday i went bowling with the gang. nothing like bowling fun. ngan actually won the first game. yay. i did alright the first game then lost horribly like a sissy girl in the second one. neither game i broke 100. weaksauce.
cam quaility movies suck but the movie i recieved was a good one. too bright though. meh.
we had pho for lunch today. it was pretty good as always. it was pho bang of course. pho with a bang.
no mas finals after tomorrow. hmm... the month just started and well...its already looking pretty busy. yay?

its thanksgiving. family time. we're going to die.
well i sit here typing away at my keyboard with no one online to talk to. i went and took ngan out to lunch yesterday afternoon from her work so yay :D that made my day. the past few days diana and chris came over and we embarked on many an adventure. who knew what mysteries we would try to solve. :hums scooby doo theme song: but actually tuesday we ate barbeque with hai and then went to comp USSR (like my gay joke?) and i picked up dvd r's. oh yes. that was an exciting purchase i made this week. i got a dvd rw and i am a happy panda now. after that we all came back to our house where me and my sister proceeded to get own3d by the lordly ladies team in mario party 5. :( we suck. must get better.
yesterday (after i came back from lunch) we went and ate at ez's and then went to see love actually. I BELIEVE!!! ok enough gay matrix jokes. i really liked the movie. yay for british humor and jokes.
my boss gave me tuesday and wednesday off. it was great. he called yesterday in the movie theater and i called him back after we got out.
me: hello?
mr j: sup muh negro?
me: you call? (as you can see i am a man of few words)
mr j: i just called to talk (in that really gay way)
me: 0_o
we proceeded to talk about nerd stuff. my boss is the coolest mexican i know!
not much has really happened in the way of life. i suppose every now and then angst becomes present but as quickly as it came it goes. apparently one of the family's friends and a girl that used to babysit us is getting married soon. (six weeks or something like that) we're invited to the wedding but i honestly dont wanna fly out in the middle of the winter to Las Vegas. honestly? what am i going to do there? get piss drunk and gamble away all my money? SOUNDS LIKE A WHOLE LOTTA FUN TO ME!!!! right. i think i shall stay at home and man the fort.

to disobey
for some reason i imagine (very retardedly mind you) that the moment i moved out (or kicked out if that were the case) and the moment all would be right with the world was simply something out of the matrix. my parents would be badgering me about something. i'm not sure. could be really about anything and i would simply stick up my hand and say no. and then they would realize what i just said and they couldnt do anything about it.
what a lame dream.
anyways, thanksgiving break starts soon. i wouldnt really call it a break. more like its a trick by the school to make you study during your days off because finals are the week after. die stupid school.
ph33r my short update.

well here i am sitting at home listening to the new linkin park album i picked up at mexico (OMG KEEKLES!)
i have become sorely disappointed in the lack of a christian character people hold even remote nowadays. eh...even sometimes myself. but thats for another time and another place. anyways, behind closed doors, when people dont see you, behind a freaking sn why arent people the same? with this freedom of hiding behind a name why the homo do people act differently? oh yes you dont see a reaction now. you can talk all the trash that you want. yay? or you can lecture me all you want? or even better...you arent even who you claim.
:sigh:
it is indeed a sad day. i'm starting to not believe anyone anymore when they say they are a christian. wait a minute. i havent for awhile now. with good reason too. anyways remember folks its self control. and with good reason too. most people should know better.
actually sometimes i figure that most people dont have enough to do. so they like to delve into stupid things. one would most definitely be attempting to lecture me on no real grounds to. needs less talking. another thing would be building a great alter ego online where you are fairly rude, have a pretty bad attitude, and those are to say the least. oh yeah. i dont take too kindly to lying. i dont like to be lied to. it shows that you disrespect me as a person, you dont have the balls to say something to my face and that you well yeah. whatever.
so i relistened to some of yellowcard as of late. yay for rocket.
:yawn: as of late my parents have become more of a nazi if thats possible.
a memo i got today in my inbox:
WARNING WARNING NAZI ALERT: the following is a public accounement sent to you by your local nazis. no children under the age of 99 may work late past the hour of 10pm or 22:00 if they are female and of the ha household further more they are to report directly to the homestead and ignore all temptations of food on the way home. exception to the rule are as follows: school. in which case we, the nazis, will needed to be informed of time out of homestead as before mentioned, place, people who you are to be with, their majors, how many minorities there are, if they are black and their blood types. please give us their finger prints, a sample of urine and blood for verification. thank you.
ok not really. but it was on the fly and i thought it was pretty freaking funny.
work. well work has been the usual as of late. always fun to poke fun at the big boss and co workers. i think that my cubicle buddy honestly thinks that i am racist or something. i suppose he would think such thing when i kept saying white people suck...or something to that extent. i dont know. most of my white jokes are on the spur of the moment. it seems my sister is fitting in quite well at work. ask her about corey. she can tell you oh so much.
recently i picked up a new psu for my system. an emermax 431 watt psu. soo pretty and blue. i feel all nerdy again. tat and a usb 2.0 pen drive. i can transfer anime episodes now :D or gb.
speaking of gb i got up to a stone hammer but as of the past two nights no one has played :( i am sad
the chasers are having a show/concert in denton on thursday and guess who is the roadie/camera man/body guard...yeah anyways, we caught a sneak peek on friday (last friday) not bad. i wasnt disappointed.
oh yeah also a couple of weeks again visited mexico for the new blink 182 album. its not bad.
:yawn: so i have nothing else to say.
this is me leaving.

holy update batman!!!
lets see. i wanna say alot has happened since my last update. but no. i'm not that cool. probably the most recent that that comes to mind is cable internet. :hugs cable: oh yes. to be back in the world of broadband. i miss it so. what else? i got suckered convinced to start playing gunbound. i'm not terrible. i seem to always have a slow start though. :/ always spending the first couple of turns trying to calibrate my shots and position.
work has been work. recently my sister got hired up there. so now its like a huge family of asians up there. yay! if you have time ask my sister about corey. :-P
hmm not sure what else to say.
I GOT CABLE INTERNET!!!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm actually kinda pissed off that they havent updated my status yet in gunbound. grr. i should be a wood axe by now. not some lame chick. booes! 5 k more til i get my sunglasses.
the semester is coming to a halt soon. i think we have like 3 weeks left :whoo whoo: then from there its going to be fun working for most of the winter break. so much to get and buy :/ wait a minute. its like real life gunbound! only no killing. and no mobiles. btw i tear it up with the grub! :roar:
ok well this is a lame update. i'm going to go do something else now. expect another update in 4-6 weeks.

dont read if you dont wanna know.
spoilers and some thoughts
so back in 199x a company out in hollywood released a sleeper hit called the matrix. good movie. in fact you probably will do well as to remember their key money shot was the infamous 'bullet time' copied all over in the movies. anyways, then in 2003 due to such a large success from the first one two more were released to conclude a trilogy known as the matrix.
so yes what is the matrix? that was the question that the Wachowski brothers posed in the first movie. lemme tell you, it suckered me in. come to find out the each movie sort of posed and looked at certain aspects and beliefs of people. as with the first one, it was something like do you believe everything around you...or something along those lines. reloaded dealt with the idea of control and choices; cause and effect as the frenchman so elegently put it. and the third one? love. or ideas of feelings and beliefs. no doubt that the third movie was to be the most human but looking at the stance of the third movie in a trilogy stand point the third movie was just a huge let down.
yes yes i actually woke up this morning and got myself to the movie theater at 9 in the morning to catch the ending to this generation's 'star wars'. the brothers did such a great job building up the movies, the hype, the trilogy, and even the game, that the third movie had this tidal rush of great coming behind it only to end up as a trickle. in hindsight the second movie was a great movie. had just about everything i suppose any great movie would/should have. love, action, some thinking questions, a surprise, nice car chase. etc etc so on and so forth. yes yes even the cheesy (dare i say lame) scene where neo 'saved' trinity.
what i suppose that the third movie was really lacking probably was action. the total amount of time people were jacked into the matrix was far and few. we all fell in love with bending the rules. seeing some of time warner's money being spent on a creative money shots that make us drool. as the progression of the movies went, i suppose it was somewhere along the lines of:
the matrix:
~90% jacked in
reloaded:
~60% jacked in
revolutions:
~20% jacked in
the slow and steady decline of neo (or any key member) not being jacked in i suppose forced a person to be taken back by it. then again...you cant really keep doing the same things over and over again and expect the people to be in love with the movie. anyways, points aside. i found alot of parallelism's to the gospels. pretty interesting and i'll probably have more to say when i watch all three back to back (expect it maybe...this weekend?)
as of the whole movie. the dock scene was probably what really did it for the movie. there is something about people fighting for home that they so whole heartedly love and would die for defending that kinda gets to me. the neo/agent smith fight was good up into the point where what i read in spoilers just ruined it for me because it kinda started the thought in my head, 'darn you wachowski brothers. you have screwed it up.' trinity's death scene was probably the longest death scene i had ever seen. i couldnt tell if i was crying because it really got to me or from the cheesiness that was just overwhelmingly present.
in even more hindsight and after some thought. i suppose the movie isnt terrible. a little disappointing but i would gladly pay good money to see it again two more times and buy the dvd too. dang it, even the death scene with trinity got me a little bit. but still dang you wachowski brothers!! the ending i think more then anything was probably what really blew.
dont go expecting the greatest movie in the world.

posting from opera. i offically hate ie.
so where have i been as of like the past eleventy billion weeks? nowhere really. just been either too lazy to update or too busy to update. ever notice how alot of bloggers are basically recaps of peoples days? am i really that curious to know what people really do in a day? yes. yes i am. :checks a random person's blog: anyways i'm very tempted to uninstall ie from my system. yeah i hate microsoft and if i wasnt as much of a linux n00b i would convert!!1 really i would.
so whats been going on with you? good in your neck of the woods? good to know. bad? sucks to be you? :shrugs: i dont think i really do anything other then work and school. recently i picked up tony hawk underground (which i'm almost done beating. this game totally owns btw) tony hawk pro skater 4 (poor tony, i abuse you like... well lets just say it brings back memories) and more recently call of duty (apparently the best ww2 game ever). at work i've become obessed with attempting to create a work clan. either in ffxi or call of duty. actually its going to be in call of duty because in ffxi if you stop playing for 3 months you get to rebuy the game again yay!!! no.
work. well work has been work. i figured out that the majority of the work load has become split up into two groups. either old ladies or black people. seriously. even better is the old black lady. 0o :looks around: after working for a little bit i've openly expressed my thoughts that black people make up their names. seriously. either that or bastardize white people's names. that and i have even gotten people with random apostrophes in their names. if you remember they look like this ' <- but seriously work is great. [/voicing opinion moment]
[nerd moment]
i recently downloaded itunes. dang it looks sweet. apple ingenuity. it actually loads up its playlist straight off the ipod which is freaking 1337. i still use winamp 2 because it is the tried and true. i also browse for some new backgrounds and pretty happy with the new ones i found. dare i say unbelieveably sexy? ok ok thats just weird but dang it they are awesome or at least i think so. (geez i'm such a nerd)
recently replaced my main hard drive which took longer then i expected it to. not only that but being pwn3d by blaster and rpc procedure calls arent cool at all but kris (my boss) helped me out. big ^_________________^ korean smilie for you boss mon (he catches pokemon. ask him about it) anyways a 25 gig os partition is just beautiful. makes me cry because its such a huge upgrade from 2.
also offically stopped using deadaim and aim. :hugs trillian: you really cant beat the skins and the reducing the size of the box.
i wanted to get my other computer online but sadly it wont come online until after christmas. christmas shopping is going to be... fun. yes? anyways all i'm missing is an lcd and a hd for it.
best news in the world was recieved today. cable internet will be available at the ha casa as of 11.07.03. that is all
[/nerd moment]
despite all the new albums i listen to or get i wear them out too quick and just fall back onto brand new. honestly its like i cant wear them out. yay for brand new. which isnt so brand... new. yeah.
what else what else what else?
well at the moment i really cant think of much else. i got a haircut today so bye bye mohawk for a little while. that is all
