Obama Street

I thought this was pretty clever... This street that i work on was originally Bush St.
They did it all down the city... now that's dedication...

Glad to be back....

I'm actually happy to be back in SF... Not because i had a horrible time in Davis, quite the opposite in fact because i had a blast there just hanging out with random people and friends of course. I guess i'm just happy to be back to the regular pattern of my life. I don't really have anything much else to say besides i'm glad haha. Until next time kiddies...

It's been a long week... and it's Wednesday!

Here i sit, watching Napoleon Dynamite, I always find myself watching this show half way, and then not finishing it. This might be the night i actually finish it. Well, maybe this will end up like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I mean this in the sense that i watched the movie over and over thinking i've never finished it just to realize that it has the dumbest ending ever, it doesn't answer all the questions, and tries to end even though nothing really gets solved. I really hope that doesn't happen to me again.

This had been a pretty crazy week, not the most pleasant that's for sure. I've been working three 8-hour shifts, and tomorrow i have a seven hour shift. It's not really the hours that are bothering, i think it might just be me worrying about school. I really just want to finish up this semester, apply to study abroad, then hopefully get that show on the road haha. Tomorrow should be an end of a rough week and hopefully the start of something fun, off to davis! There's nothing to really do in davis but i guess going somewhere different and hanging out with friends is better than hanging out all by yourself in SF.

Anywho, i think it must be nice being a person that doesn't seem to work for anything but seems to always get their way. It just has to make you wish that the story of the turtle and the hare comes true. Of course i don't want to wish bad things for lazy ass people, but it wouldn't hurt for the people to work hard get theirs you know? But i guess at the end of the day, none of that really matters because what defines you isn't what you get in life... ok i'll stop haha... I think i'll finish Napoleon and go to bed... PEACE!

Let's play a game...

...lets call it "be yourself". The rules are simple, whenever you see someone you feel like impressing or fond of, you just be yourself and not crave for their attention by making fun of others or being jealous of a certain person for their better features. It's fun, trust me.



It's fun being a barista at starbucks. You just stand there and take people's orders or you make their drinks. It's easy, well kinda hard, but once you get the hang of it and when things don't go wrong, its a good job. I've heard that a lot of other starbucks have sucked ass because of the managers and the people there, but for the most part, my starbucks closes early (8PM) and the managers as nice as there comes (she often calls people honey,darling, or sugar, shes from alabama). What i find most appealing is how the people who i've started to remember as my regulars have learned my name as i've learned theirs. We don't have name tags, nor do we have things that tell us our name to the customers, but some how they manage to find out. It's easier for me just because i just ask them for their name when i write down their drinks or in my lucky case, i work right next to a hospital so everyone pretty much has a name tag. It's a pretty lax job and once you get used to waking up early, the rest of the day after that is all yours to enjoy however you please. (I usually just take a nap).

Something that i'm going to try to work on this year will probably give relationships a chance. I guess i've been trying to delay the fact that i wasn't really done having whatever relationship i had before. But i guess now is a better time to try than any. Being bitter was something that i was good at, making excuses was something that i prided myself on. Now, im hoping things are going to change because i'm going to try and change. I know i know, i'm very picky with my girls, but is it really that hard to find a girl that is more interesting to talk to than a brick wall? I highly doubt it, i have standards, but they're not impossible. Guess only time will tell. PEACE!

MY FAVORITE COLOR IS FUCHSIA

It might be hard for some people to see, but I'm a creature of habit. I go through the day, thinking of what i can do with my life. I seem to always have that frame of mind in which if there is nothing to do, go out there and find something. The times that i don't seem to have anything better to do than drive back and fourth from San Francisco to San Jose, i find myself thinking excessively about the people in my life and how much they actually might know me. From the habits that i have, to the things that i like, to the people i respect and hold dear. I guess somethings are left for wonder of course but in my opinion, until i find a conclusive enough reason to change what i'm doing i will stay this creature of habit and just do my thing and mind my own business, because hey, if you really want to know something that badly, just go out there and ask. And if you don't feel like asking that badly, it might just not be worth it at all. It's a lot of rambling i know, i really should think of things to talk about but this thing is mainly for me, because to be honest, who actually reads this? lol... I know for a solid fact that if i started saying everytime i posted that i loved the color fuchsia instead of the color red and then went and asked people what my favorite color was, 10/10 people would probably say red. Well that's all folks, i leave you with a picture that i thought was very... efficient. ENJOY

Thanksgiving thoughts... Part 2

Well, now that i don't have work so early i guess i can really say what i was thankful for.

I try to be thankful for everything i have and never become a little brat that complains about his life or the things he doesn't have. For example, the next time i EVER hear my self say "i wish i had a new car, or a new job, or a new life" i will allow anyone to slap me in the face. Just remind me why you just slapped me in the face. But any who, I'm thankful for my friends and the life that i have been given because of the fact that it seems that everything in my life goes not always according to plan, but it never goes disastrously wrong. Where is the family portion of me being thankful you ask? Ah, well, as much as i want to think it. I'm not much of a family person. I cringe at the thought of walking through the doors of a family party waiting for me behind the contemporary door of my house on Homestead. The only 3 people i am thankful for in my family of 9 (which includes myself and my parents) is my brother James, who is someone i almost try to emulate in every way in personality. He is a person that is always smart about things, never looking above anyone and even though his pride sometimes gets in the way of his judgments, he never steps out of line when it comes to being disrespectful. I'm thankful for the fact that he always welcomes me at his house when i come home for the weekend when i do. I'm thankful for all the advice he gives me knowing that it isn't hard for me and he might not always sympathize about the things i'm going through but he does empathize. I'm also thankful for my parents who have never pressured me to do anything but my best at what i enjoy doing. They were never those kind of parents who told me i had to be a doctor, lawyer, or anything to do with engineering. Though they were never for me there emotionally, they were just there. And that made the whole difference.

Well that was my part 2 of thanksgiving thoughts. Hope the other 2 people who ACTUALLY read this have had a happy thanksgiving. Til next time. Later!

Thanksgiving...thoughts...

Well, here we are with the thanksgiving festivities over and i feel like a complete fatty but i still want some steak, probably because i'm watching the world steak cooking challenge on the food network. I think it was a quite enjoyable break, except for the fact that my sleeping schedule is now thrown into whack. I don't really seem to remember what i did the first couple of days of break besides just hang out and sleep in, play a lot of video games and watch TV.

Hanging out with friends and playing football over the thanksgiving weekend would have to be the highlights and i think i did well in football. I am really glad my bro did not disappoint me when he came with me to play football. I tend to brag about him a little too much and when he played extremely well, i couldn't be happier.

I honestly think people who want to change can. But then there are those people who just never seem to change even though people have told them what they really need to work with themselves and then they slap you in the face by just showing you how hard it is for people to change. I'm a person who doesn't hold a grudge for very long, but sometimes I really just want to tell some people off.

Well, that's my thought of the day. I would have more to say but i have work at 415 in the morning tomorrow so i'll just continue with what i have to say tomorrow. LATER!
