Selling Candy In Front Of The Bank
2008-02-09 00:32:00
I went to Washinton Mutual today, and had to wait in a short line to go to the ATMs. There was a girl, maybe 9-12 years old, and she was selling candy for $2 each. When someone walked by, she's say, "Excuse me, would you like to buy a candy for my school?" Then the person would come up with some silly, generic, random response, "Sorry, I'm trying to lose weight" or "I gave it up for lent" or "I don't have money on me right now, I just deposited money, I didn't take money out" Why did all these people have to make up random excuses. In my opinion, it's more like "too much information" excuses. There's a little girl asking if you want to buy candy, and you can just say "No" or "No, Thanks" or something like that. Why do they have to give a reason. I'm sure that little girl could care less why you won't buy her candy. A simple, "No." would do. There was one lady, who said "I shouldn't have too much junk food... but I'll donate a dollar to you." That's cool. Then...

Get Well Soon!
2008-02-08 10:25:00
Get Well Soon. This message goes out to about half the people I know. It seems like everyone's getting sick right now: co-workers, cousins, friends, that one guy in the elevator... EVERYONE. Get well soon! And don't spread it.

My Leg Hurts
2008-02-05 19:56:00
Damn, my leg hurts! This morning, I was showering and getting ready for work. Then, for some random, unknown reason, the floor was very slippery. Usually when the shower floor is wet, it's not really slippery, but this time it was. Then I slipped! It felt like it happened so quick, but I saw it in slow motion. Unfortunately, my reaction was slow motion too. My mind was telling me what to do - very quickly, but my body wasn't moving quick enough to do it! I hurt myself. My legs hurt, my shoulder hurts, and my elbow got hurt. Everything seemed fine right after, but then when I started to walk and everything, it felt so sore! Now here I am, fine, but my left calf/leg hurts like hell. I don't think there's anything broken or anything, but it still hurts. Maybe bruised. Good thing I didn't hit my head. I feel lucky I didn't hit my head, because it was so close to it. MY first instinct was to grab something and protect my head, even if it meant my leg was going to hu...

High Beam in the Day
2008-02-01 20:30:00
I was driving to work today... Then I saw a guy in a four-door Accura Integra, lowered. He was coming up on me fast. Out of courtesy, I decided to get out of his way, and go to one lane to the right. As I was doing that, he cut to the right, to try to pass me, while applying zero pressure on his brakes. He actually stepped on his gas! So then I changed lanes, as he did too. Umm... usually the lanes on the LEFT are used to pass people. Then what happened was the smartest thing anyone can do. He flashed his high beams at me in the DAY TIME! Wow.. I saw a little flicker in my rear view mirror, but I wasn't blinded, and I barely even noticed! Note to LOSER: What the hell do you think you're doing by HIGHBEAMING in the DAY!??! It does NOTHING! What a dumbass! Good job EINSTEIN! It blinded me this much:

Why Do You Do That Lotion?!?
2008-01-30 21:51:00
Stupid lotion! When the lotion comes in, it blocked you from easily getting lotion. Before, they put some cockblock plastic over the top of the container. Now there's a different method. You have to waste some energy by pressing down on the head, and twisting. Only THEN is it unlocked. Now, you can dispense the prefered amount of lotion onto your hand, and start rubbing away at the body part of choice. But there still is a problem! The lotion is on the bathroom counter, or your dresser. Then you want to reach for your toothbrush on the bathroom counter, or your Kanye West glasses on your dresser, and your forearm accidentally brushes the lotion dispenser, and it shoots and skeets all over your tissue, or your snap bracelet that's on your dresser! I hate when that happens! All of a sudden you have some MORE than "a dime size amount" on your furniture! And you have to clean that stuff up! But at least they have found a solution. A solution that has a problem. You ca...

Jack In The Box Night Shift Has NEVER Gotten My Order Right!
2008-01-25 10:36:00
So yeah, the Jack In The Box night shift has never gotten my order right. Well, technically, sometimes they do, but there's ALWAYS something WRONG with it. Sometimes it's something small like never putting the lid on the cup right and tight, then it ends up almost spilling or spilling, like it did tonight! About 80% of the time, they don't hear me right, I guess?, and they give me "Seasoned" or "Curly Fries", when I SLOWLY and clearly say "Regular Fries". I can't even remember the last time they got it right! Damn! And this time, they got the meat of the burger WRONG! How can they do that! Also this time, they fucked up my order, so they told me to exit the drive-thru, and re-enter it (after waiting about 10 minutes for my CORRECT order). There were three people behind me, and one more car coming in, so I thought, "HELL NO he's not getting in there before me!", so I cut him off. At this point, I'm trying to be patient. TRYING. Then after waiting for another 10 minu...

Happy 22nd Birthday Maricel! - Chargers Game - Wii Fun - Breakfast, Lunch - Wii Fun - Dinner - 27 Dresses Here are some pictures from Holly's camera! I have pictures too, but it takes a little more time... I'm too picky. I drove over to Maricel's house, and then April drove herself, Maricel, and me to Uncle Lunar's house to watch the Chargers' game. We ate lunch and dinner there. We also played basketball, and that was TIRING for some reason?!?! Then we went back to Maricel's house, and everyone was tired. So we watched the American Idol guy... SO FOBBY! Then we played Rayman Raving Rabbids 2! Haha it's fun, and can be competitive. Then I slept over, and the next morning, we all had breakfast! It was good. Breakfast for a change! Then we played the Wii again, and had lunch, and Holly and James came. Some of Maricel's cousins came too. We were going to go ice skating, but we didn't get to. There were a lot of people at Maricel's house. We just ate dinner, ...

The Blackout
2008-01-07 01:37:00
Last night I was coming home, and on Orangethorpe, I saw that there was a section blacked out on the street. I was hoping that it wasn't at my house. I drove into the neighborhood area, and the lights were on, so it was cool. Then I turned into my street, and saw that the small area, including my street was all blacked out. It was a little bright, because of the lights all around my area were being reflected off the clouds, I guess. Then when I got home, there are boxes piled up, and big screen TV in the middle of the kitchen, because we're clearing out stuff. I got scared because there was a big ass shadow everywhere. I used my cell phone flashlight, and it was like a game. Then, when I got to my room, I remembered that I was charging my old batteries, and it's the kinds that needs to be charged for 14 hours, and if you don't finish the charge or finish the energy while using it, before you charge again, then it shortens the life of the battery as a whole. That sucked....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!! I hope that 2008 is very good to you. As for me, I don't know what it brings. There's nothing set, no school, a temporary job, then from there, I don't know. It might be exciting, it might be boring. Either way, you'll read about it here.

Drama
2008-01-01 16:56:00
Drama and Conflict usually start with misunderstandings. Misunderstanding comes from people lying, people not bothering to look up the facts, and people not understanding fact vs opinion. Drama and Conflict grow from ego, ignorance, and arrogance. Then it spreads through gossip. But it all starts with misunderstanding.

Thank you for everyone who gave me a gift for Christmas . This is like an awards show, but the the gifts I got. The DVD Award goes to Ronald for the DVD The Office Season One. He got me for secret santa on my dad's side. I love the office now, I just got into it. Honorable mention: Ronald for Knocked Up - It might have won, but it's FULLSCREEN.

Chick-Fil-A Free Gift Wrap
2007-12-27 23:37:00
I went to the Chick -Fil-A in Cerritos across the Los Cerritos Mall to eat. Since it's the Christmas Season, they were offering free gift wrapping. The restaurant was crowded already, and on top of that, they took out three possible seating areas (3 tables) to set up some free gift wrapping area. I think it's cool that they're giving free gift wrapping services while you eat, but then it's taking up a lot of space. People seemed confused because they didn't expect it. But then again, the people who work at the Chick-Fil-A always seem very happy... OVERLY happy. But it's all good. I just thought it was kinda weird, though, that they would do free gift wrapping at a a fast food restaurant.

Merry Christmas!
2007-12-26 02:05:00
That's right, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I said Merry Christmas . No Happy Holidays, or whatever crap people "have to" say now. I believe it's Jesus Christ's birthday, and that's what I'm sticking to. If you don't believe it, then you don't have to listen to it. I hate when it seems like they have taken out some phrases and stuff for some "politically correct" stuff. But damn man, it's too far, it's like taking away our right to say what we believe, or it's not politically correct to wish someone a "Merry Christmas ". That's BS ANYWAY! I liked this Christmas. It's still going, but it was nice. First it was with Maricel early in the week, and we exchanged gifts, and I like my gifts... both are VERY useful. Then it was the C3 Secret Santa gift exchange. That was FUN. Thank you to the Vaughans (Gina and Jason) for lending their house for the C3 cousins to get out activities going! There was a lot of Rockband, and fun! A lot of good food! Turducken!
