What in the world???
Check this out...Cile forwarded this email to me. These pictures are NOT pictures of see through pants...they are pictures of pants/skirts w/ panties painted on them so it LOOKS like they are see through. Supposedly this is all the rage in Japan. Those weird Japanese people...too weird to be true??? I don't know...
  

Crazy Busy Weekend
(This is gonna be a long entry....)
   This weekend was a very busy weekend...which is a drastic change from my usual weekends. On Friday was Tinz's birthday party at the 3rd Street Promenade. As Tommy, Cile and I were driving , I get a call on my cell phone from Theda because she wanted to get a ride with us...too bad we were halfway to John John's house. Man, I felt really bad because she had been trying to get ahold of me all day today, but my cell phone doesn't get any reception at my apartment. Now she didn't have a ride and didn't know if she was gonna go. I told her if she was going, then give me a call and I'd me her outside...but guess what...my cell phone didn't get any recption in the club either...hopefully she didn't call me. Yeah, I know...I'm a great big bro.
   Tinz's party was alotta fun. Good times just hanging and seeing friends. I know I probably say that every time that I kick it with my friends...but I mean it every time. There were hella people in the club and that was just way too crazy. The line to get into the club went across freaking 3rd street!!! Because there were so many freaking people there it made it kinda hard moving around, and it made it a bitch trying to get a drink because there were only 3 bartenders for a couple hundred people and that meant waiting up to what seemed like an hour to get a freaking drink. Another thing that came to mind because of all the freaking people was the recent club tragedies where 21 people died in Chicago and almost 100 died in Rhode Island. I found out where all the freaking exits were just in case.
   So I've found that I can take hard liquor a lot better than beer. With beer, I get full before I really get drunk...but with liquor I can get my fade on. Yeah whisky sours and jack and coke for me. Mmmmm...whisky. But too bad it took me like freaking 30 minutes or so to get a freaking drink. I tried to move to get the attention of a bartender but everytime I moved they would help the person that moved into my old spot...DAMMIT! This freaking pissed me off, so much so, that I bought 2 drinks and just killed them and was feeling really good. Yeah, I was pretty faded. But you know what the thing is...I think I like the faded Joe better than the normal, sober Joe...he seems funner. Faded Joe does things like yell "FIRE" in a crowded club...good thing the music was too loud for anyone to hear. Yeah, faded Joe seems a lot cooler...is this how alcoholism starts? BLAH!
   We get home and I was still awake to feel the small earthquake that happened at like 4:20 in the morning...that sucks, since I had to be awake at 6:30 or so to go paintballing on Saturday for Pat's bday. THis was my first time paintballing and it was really fun. The paintballs didn't really hurt at all...but then again I only got hit in the mask, arms, and hands...and they say it hurts more in the back and chest. Yeah, I was a little timid at first but I started to really get into it. Its a freaking work out though because after every game I was out of breath and by the end of the day my freaking thighs were killing me and it was torture walking up the stairs to my room or kneeling at church. Good times with another group of friends, but instead of just chilling...we were shooting each other...good times. Happy birthday Pat.
   Sunday was PUSO alumni thingie which I just learned of on Friday...I was planning to just chill on Sunday but I decided to go the PUSO Alumni Picnic. Again...it was "cool seeing friends there" even though it was freaking cold. But I was kinda dreading seeing Theda there since she'd probably be pissed at me because she missed Tinz's party because of me...and yeah she was pissed, but I think she had fun that night anyways so its all good. What a great weekend, huh? Tiring too...so I must rest now. Such is the life of Joe...

I need a freaking new computer
   Yeah, I need a new computer. I just downloaded "Adaptation" and wanted to watch it....too bad that my computer is freaking too slow. The sound is fine but the picture is so choppy and the sound and picture don't sync up. Another reason why I need a new computer is because every night it disconnects from the freaking internet. So I have to restart it every time it disconnects, which is like 5-10 times a day. STUPID COMPUTER!!! So if I'm ever talking to you online and I suddenly log off...I apologize, its not my fault....its my stupid computer.
   Saturday was boring and so I was happy to get out of the house and go to the Block for my friend, Sheila's birthday celebration. It was cool seeing people that I haven't seen in a while but I also freaking felt old. Yeah, there were at least 2 people that did the freaking Filipino "bless" thing to me. Dammit!!! I'm not that old....am I??? Good times even though I HATE the Block. No parking at all and too many teeny-boppers....its the Spectrum all the way for me.
   Sunday turned from a usual boring Sunday for me to a good time at the Yardhouse. Jenn was down here with Ryan and so it was a spontaneous and informal get together at the Yardhouse at the Spectrum. Good times again with friends that I don't kick it enough with. It was just dinner and conversation...conversation about certain people being in "crews" and "tagging crews", the stupid games we played and made up when we were kids, and the stupid shows and old ass cartoons and specific cartoon episodes that for some strange reason, we actually still remember. HA! Good times.
   Stupid eBay has me freaking buying all these stupid comics. Dammit!!! I hate it. I need to stop buying comics on eBay and actually selling stuff there. Oh yeah, and today I didn't go to work. I think I didn't have it off but I didn't show up anyways. My excuse tomorrow will be "I thought that we had it off!!!" Hell yeah!!! 4 day work week....such is the life of Joe.

Grosser than Gross
   And the rain continues...and I still love it. Rain is a good thing. Rain means snow in the mountains. Rain is peaceful just watching the little drops combine to big drops on windows. Rain is relaxing when you fall asleep to the sound of raindrops on the roof or the window. Rain is fun when you're playing soccer or football in the mud, or just running around in the rain and sliding in the grass. Rain is refreshing because it sweeps all the smog and stuff away. BUT! There are 2 things that I hate about the rain...I hate freaking wet jeans. I hate the feeling of wet jeans just clinging to your legs. BLAH! If I could, I would wear shorts these past couple days...too bad for this thing called work. And the most disgusting thing happens in the rain....the snails come out and it is inevitable that you step on them. CRRRRRUUNCHHHH!!! EWWWWWWWWW!!! It's freaking disgusting because you can both hear it and feel it. Plus I feel sorry for stepping on the little guys...I hate it!
   So is this El Nino??? I thought that it was gonna start a couple months ago when it was all raining a week or so before Christmas but then it just stopped and we had those 80-90 degree days. I hope this is El Nino...El Nino was fun back in '98. I remember that one day it was raining to so freaking hard that Mesa Road Flooded! I remember running from Commons all the way back to Palo and seeing all the staircases look like waterfalls. I remember that little area under the Mesa Commons, next to the Cave or whatever was practially a pool. I remember that University was flooded and so was many parts of UCI. Wasn't it flooded almost all the way up to a bridge...I can't remember which bridge it was...the one connecting the student center and humanities??? But the thing that I will always remember was the fun that I had just running around in the rain, sliding on the grass, pushing cars out of the water (SWIFT WATER RESCUE!!!) , playing football...wait a minute...I didn't play football, but I did all those other things. HA! Such is the life of Joe...

Rain, rain go away...come again some other day
   HA HA HA to all you people who thought that they were going to tell you who Evan picked in "Joe Millionare" . I guess you'll have to wait until next week. Was I watching? No...I have this show called "Everwood" to watch instead....but I did flip to "Joe Millionare" during its last 10 minutes...of course, I'm curious too. And there's gonna be a twist in next weeks show! Evan isn't a Millionare, surprise to the girl he picks, Evan is a BILLIONARE!!! Surprise to us all who are watching! HA HA HA. That would be pretty cool, oh well, whatever.
   Despite what the title of this entry says, I'm actually happy that it's raining. I like the rain. This coming from a guy who has never owned an umbrella. The rain just reminds me of when I was a kid. I remember riding in the car when it was raining and just staring at the window of the car and watching the raindrops hit. I loved just staring at the drops as they would slowly roll down the window, then colliding and combining with other drops, as it increased its speed until it fell all the way to the bottom. This lead to my new game that I sometimes play when it rains. Its called "See how far I can drive without the windshield wipers on"...here's a tip, the faster you drive, the longer you can drive without windsheild wipers. Yeah but I dont' think I'm gonna play that game anymore, its kinda scary...especially on the freeway. Such is the life of Joe...

Shibby
   Its amazing. I actually did something this weekend. Rita and Shawn came down from San Jose and James, Cile, Tommy, and I kicked it with them and Nicole at the Specturm and the Yardhouse. Good times, good times. I haven't kicked it with those guys in the longest time. Not since the summer...damn, that's a long time. We used to kick it every single day when we were in college but now I only seem them like four or five times a year. Crazy.
   I hate eBay. I went on just to sell something and then I end up freaking buying a couple old Daredevil Comics (from the Frank Miller run) and this cool Trade Paperback of this 3 issue comic series called "30 Days of Night". I haven't collected in like a year and I pick up a freaking Wizard magazine at Barnes and Noble to thumb through during my lunch break and I get addicted again. I'm freaking trying to get key issues of Frank Miller's Daredevil run (mostly because of the upcoming movie, but partly for the great stories). But in that Wizard Magazine issue was like 3 pages of the comic "30 Days Of Night". It just pulled me in. It's about vampires going to a small Alaskan town because during winter it has 30 days of continuous darkness...perfect for vampires to feast. I wanted to get the first printings of the comics (only 3 issues) but they're goign for freaking $150 and higher!!! DAMN!!! CRAZY!!! So I settled for the Trade Paperback...hopefully after the hype I can get the first issues for cheap. I think it'll be a great investment...considering they're making a movie of it...produced by "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi. Yeah, but other than getting me to buy useless things...eBay is pretty cool. I especially like when you can sell some of your old junk...which other people freaking buy up like its actually worth something....hmmmmm...I hope all the stuff I've sold isn't really worth something.
   Michael Jackson. In one word...stupid. Maybe not crazy, but just stupid. And you know what? I actually feel sorry for him. He trusted that reporter and then the reporter just rags on him. That freaking sucks. And I think that some parts of his interview were taken out of context. Yeah, he freaking lied about having only 2 plastic surgeries on his nose. But I think that the whole "sleeping with little boys" thing was taken out of context completely. But he is still stupid about talking about it. That's like OJ Simpson saying something like "I love stabbing things". Michael Jackson is a suspected child molestor and he talks about sleeping with little boys??? STUPID!!! Yeah, that's it...i can go on and on and on about it, but whatever.
   Everwood - I love that show. That's it....such is the life of Joe.

Now I Remember!!!
   I remember I was gonna talk about my mostest favoritest commercial out there. It's that one where a couple is taking a pregnancy test and the caption says "in a moment this couple's lives are going to change forever.....they will become the youngest grandparents in town" and the camera pans over to their young teenage daughter. WOW! That commercial just had such a big impact on me because it just surprised me! AWESOME! You gotta love that commercial.
   I love this thing called "cooking" ever since Friday I've been actually cooking, or eating leftovers. Usually I eat out meaning $5 a meal, 2 meals a day, for 5 days. That equals a total savings of about $50. Awesome! It helps that I went to my Aunt's house on Sunday and she gave us hella leftovers...yum.
   Oh yeah....and one recommendation for a CD is Unwrittten Law's newest CD: From Music From High Places. Its a CD of the music that they recorded during the MTV show "Music From High Places", and its just pretty much an acoustic set of some of their songs. Highly recommended. Ok, that's what I wanted to say earlier...such is the life of Joe.

Me Against The World...
   Hmmmm...I was gonna talk about something but I freaking forgot....dammit...nevermind.
   Happy Birthday goes out to my cousin Brian on his 18th birthday...actually his birthday was yesterday...actually we celebrated it on Sunday. Yeah it's his 18th birthday so that means lottery tickets and porn! Too bad we didn't get him either. Instead we got him this game called "The Getaway" which is pretty addicting but pretty violent and stuff. It was kinda funny watching my lil 10 year old cousin Pia run over people and cops, and shoot people point blank in the face...yeah, I'm a great influence on my cousins.
   Ummmm...hmmm...something else I was gonna talk about but I forgot about it.....blah.
   So why is it that the weather is awesome when I'm stuck at work but during the weekend it cools off freaking 20 degrees??? Friday was like 90 degrees outside and I was stuck at work and couldn't wait for the weekend so I could actually go swimming...but the weekend comes and it only gets to like mid 70's!!! What the hell is that about? And now at the start of another work week and I walked outside and it seemed really nice. Oh well...such is the life of Joe.

"Well Sinead of Rebellion. Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior." - ???
   As you see, I am implementing my infamous quote game w/ my webpage. Imma post a new quote every so often. Actually I'll post a new quote after someone gets this one right. So make your guesses.
   Rock Bottom last night for Ro and Danielle's bday. Good to see friends there but it wasn't "poppin" and the music freaking sucked. At least it got me out of the house. Mostly just chilling and talking.
"-Is so and so still with so and so?"
"-I hope not" (HA HA HA, sad but true)
   Oh yeah, I think people talk louder than they realize. maybe it was because of the music. FriendA asks FriendB what's the name of that one girl, FriendC overhears and shouts out the girls name. The girl hears her name and looks to see Friends talking about her without them noticing. I just thought taht was funny. Ok, now that I look back at it, its just stupid and confusing. Whatever.
   I actually cooked dinner today!!! I went to Costco and bought 5lbs of salmon cause its good and I guess good for you and stuff. But I had no idea how to cook it. I'm so illiterate in the kitchen. I had to ask Serena online how to cook it. I was about to just put the frozen salmon filet in the oven and cook it, she introduced to me the idea of defrosting in the microwave. I know, its sad but true. I don't know how to cook. But the fish actually turned out pretty good. It didn't take as long as I thought it would and I guess its hella cheaper than eating out every single meal. I think i'm gonna have to try out this cooking thing every once in a while.
   And on a final note...Man! Gordo could've had Lizzie if he only could tell her that he likes her! And Lizzie is starting to have feelings for Gordo I always thought that Gordo would be better for Lizzie than Ethan Craft. I hope I'm not that only one who knows what I'm talking about. Such is the life of Joe...
