My Worst Fear
Ok, I can't believe that I'm saying this right now...but the thing I'm MOST afraid of is hot big boobed girls in bikinis or less giving me a massage....I sooooooo scared of that. I hope no one uses this information for payback for a hillarious joke I played on them. I really really hope no one gets some hot big boobed girls in bikinis to give me a massage because I'll be scared to death and that'll be the ultimate payback! =D
Ok, so I went to Best Buy to just check some stuff out and guess what? I was looking at IPODs but honestly I'd NEVER buy one now...just because I'm kinda close to getting one for free. So if my holiday homie or Santa or anyone else wants to get me an awesome present for Christmas (or on a random day like Thursday) please just click on the link up above or here for FREE IPODs. Please sign up with a real email address (but make sure it's one that gets a lot of SPAM because they're gonna give you a lot of SPAM) and put down a REAL address AND complete a REAL offer!!! Please...honestly it's one of the only things that I want this Christmas. I just need 4 more people...to do something for free that'll make me the happiest person. I'll even buy you guys drinks next time I hang out with ya'll.
Kicked ass in poker today. I thought I was gonna be first one out but I battled back and caught and played my pocket Aces perfectly to reap the most money. I'm still like +$500 on poker games (thanks to my $740 winning coming in 2nd that one tourney). Too bad that when I'm in Vegas I freaking lose $300 each weekedn just on gambling (except this past weekend where I did surprisingly good).
Maybe if I didn't waste my money gambling in Vegas and drop all that money applying to Medical School then I could afford a new car like my brother. James bought a new Subaru WRX today! WOW! It's sooooooooo nice! I'm so freaking jealous!!! He deserves it though becuase he works his ass of both at work and at home where he's still working on his own projects.
Ok, time to start working out again...gotta be like Cici and Dana and start up the new workout plan. No pacts though...no schedules, just go to the gym whenever I have nothing to do, or work out at home when I'm too lazy to go to the gym. Yes, I'm feeling fet and I need to start the work outs. It's just too dark and cold outside to go workout. BLAH!
Ok, that's it for now...hopefully no one read my greatest fear in the first paragraph so they won't use that against me. Hopefully someone, everyone read my 2nd paragraph and sign up for a free IPOD, and yeah...hopefully I get off my lazy ass today and actually work out. Such is the life of Joe...
Freaking Cats
Good times at Berto's for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner. Too bad that I couldn't breathe in there. Berto has 2 cats in his apartment. I'm not too fond of cats but I'll pet a cat (stop snickering Jevon) if there's one nearby. Why am I not fond of cats? Becasue this one huge ass cat that my high school friend had would just randomly attack people. Oh yeah...AND because I'm freaking allergic. I seriously couldn't breathe in Berto's apartment. It was sooooooooo good stepping outside and getting a breath of fresh air. I've never been that bad....it was a struggle for me to breath, it was crazy. But good times, good people, good food.
So I spent Thanksgiving for the first time in a long time back in Tulare. It was cool. We went to some friend of the family's hosue to eat and chill. My Dad drank and also busted out his kareoke. It was kinda funny because it was like we ate and ran. I swear we were there maybe an hour. HA HA HA! But I guess my Dad had to go to his next party. He told us that we could go home...and you know what...we did.
Friday was pretty cool because I got to kick it with some old high school friends. Marc and Craig came over and we went to Jason's house. Dude, his youngest brother Todd looks completely different! 8 years ago I remember this short chubby little kid hanging around...now there's this 6 foot guy walking around. Crazy! That's what happens when you don't see people for 8 years. We actually went out to this bar in Tulare and it was freaking crazy in there. I recognized these faces and knew that I went to school with them, but I didn't know any names. It was like a freaking Twilight Zone episode. There was a band playing music full of 40 year olds and after they played music came on...hip hop? NO. R&B? NO. Alternative? NO. COUNTRY!!! YEAH!!! Awesome!!! HA HA HA!
Dude, I decided to come home on Saturday to beat the traffic on Sunday...too bad that EVERYONE thought the same thing. Dude, it took me 5 hours too do what normally took 3 hours. Okay, traffic was probably bad because of the freaking wind that kicked up dust storms in the Valley AND because of all the rain. But dude, 5 hours. I could make it to San Jo from Irvine in 5 hours. I got home to kick it with the crew and our annual Thanksgiving dinner at Jovan's house. Thank you sir for hosting the party once again. It was great food and I stuffed myself silly.
Oh yeah...congratulations to my 10,000 visitor. They're from Valencia, they connected from Cici's website. Whoever it is...I'll buy you some drinks next time we're out, but you gotta claim it. Such is the life of Joe...
Sexy Bebot Voice
First off, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I thought I was going back to Tulare last night but I'm actually gonna leave early this morning. So hope ya'll are having fun stuffing your faces. For all ya'll who're bored...you'll LOVE this post...especially if you went to Vegas with me this past weekend.
So I tried forwarding everyone this sexy voicemail that I got on Saturday but it didn't work. So I just decided to put it on my webpage. So all you who are curious check out the SEXY VOICEMAIL:
Grabe me some Turkey!!!
So in a few hours I'll be battling my way through traffic on my way to Tulare to spend Thanksgiving for the first time in maybe a good 12 years or so...we usually spend Thanksgiving down here in Palos Verdes at my Aunt's but I decided to go up to Tulare because I haven't been there in a while and I haven't seen Dad in a while. So hopefully traffic isn't bad around 10pm and there's no snow in the Grapevine. Maybe I'll get some Coldstone before I leave....mmmmmmm....Coldstone...
Ok, so Black Friday (ha ha ha...stop laughing Jon) when all the crazy people come out to shop. What am I gonna be doing? I'll be at home on my laptop just watching movies (b/c we only have dial up and I don't have AOL installed on my laptop and don't want it). Hopefully a neighbor has an open wireless connection or else you won't see me online this weekend. I know it's gonna be boring in Tulare but I just wanna go home, you know? Maybe I'll work out on Friday...I dunno.
Ok, I hope all of you who are staying at home, traveling long distances, or just chilling...have a great Thanksgiving (YOU have a great Thanksgiving). Yay! 4 day weekend...Such is the life of Joe...
Because They Couldn't Get It Right The First Time
Another great Vegas trip. I honestly think it is impossible to have a bad time in Vegas. I lost money, but it didn't matter because I still had fun. Kinda wished we kicked it more together as a group instead of being seperated by vans, but it was great nonetheless. Friday night at Risque (yes, the same Risque that was booty a year ago) was the BEST. I mean, THE BEST because we all kicked it together and we were all drunkards! My friends are gret...I mean, great.
Lincoln Town & Country Minivans are THE BEST minivans ever. They have secret stowaway spaces on the floor where we stored our stuff...we had soooooooooo much room.
Coming up at Primm and thinking of buying some Burberry boxers (I should have because that money I would've spent on the boxers was just lost back at the casino).
Chris reading his fortune cookie that said something like "you will discover something surprising blah blah blah...(with the "in bed" at the end of course) and saying "SUPPLIES!!!!" which almost made Eric shoot noodles through his nose.
The dope ass suite and adjoining room that we got at Saharra (with dope ass balconies...I should've brought my hookah).
Matt and I going shot for shot with tequila and being drunk before everyone else arrived and started to drink.
Being drunk but still maintaining enough control to not let my biggest fear for the weekend happen.
Getting bottle service at Risque in Paris and being the life of the party (they told us we'd be free if we came the next night).
Risque for playing old school songs that we could hat dance, fan dance, body roll, and electric slide (soooooooooo random) to.
"UH ohhhhhhhh...UH ohhhhhhh...promise meeeeeee...." you know you loved it!!! If I didn't do it, someone else would've.
Chris and I coming up big when we were on the single deck tables together, sucked when other people sat down and ruined our game.
Some sexy sounding girl left a voicemail on my phone that I'm gonna keep forever and ever.
Riann and her almost mentioning the secret word....AHHHHHH!!!
Bringing Matt to tears when we were talking about Austin Powers and that scene where he is trying to turn the electric cart around in the narrow hallways and when he is looking back and instead moves forward (...i guess you had to be there).
Learning to play Craps with Edwin and losing $100 (it was fun though...I even threw the dice).
Anna always catching the honeymooners kissing.
The jokes that were told in our van on the way to the hotel after buffet.
Trying to decide which was worse, standing out in the 38 degree weather or the stench that came from the van after Edwin and Matt slept in there for a couple hours while we gambled at Orleans.
The 15 minutes of sleep that I got on Sunday night.
The drive back to California through a snowstorm and seeing the beautiful covered desert/mountains of the Sierra Nevadas.
Seeing and spending time with old faces who I haven't had an opportunity to kick it with in a long time.
Good times. Thanks guys for everything. You know what the best thing is? This work week only has 3 days!!! I'm still deciding on whether I should go home home to Tulare to spend Thanksgiving with Dad or go to PV and spend it with the cousins, Tita's, and Tito's like we always do. I think a big factor will be the weather through the Grapevine. Such is the life of Joe...
Another freaking Scorpio
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE!!! I had a great time in Vegas celebrating you and Cici's birthday and I hope you have a great one today, tomorrow, and the rest of the weekend celebrating your birthday. Sorry I can't make it to dinner or November Reign IV since I'll be back in Vegas trying to recoup my losses from this past week. Happy birthday again Tinz!!! I mean Belle...=D Such is the life of Joe...
Body English is the best club EVER
Work? Why did I even think I was going to work today...the Monday after a Vegas trip??? Silly me...HA HA HA. So Vegas was grandiose, I'm down like around $300 or so which really isn't that bad. It's not bad enough for me to NOT gamble this weekend though.
Chris introduced me to a new game called Pai Gow...okay okay, it's not a new game...it's just a new game to me. That's what I came up most on. Dammit! Now I've added a new game to freaking waste my money on! Roulette was fun as always...and I came up on that in Primm AND also on Blackjack. I just gotta remember to play big in order to win big. No poker for me though...I was a little scared, plus when Jay did play it was freaking 7 o'clock in the morning and I was tired.
Another sleep deprived weekend in Vegas like we always do. Got to Vegas around 1:30am on Friday night/Saturday morning stayed up until 8:30am. That whole time was spent gambling and drinking. 3 shots of tequila, with Boones chasers and a couple Jack and Cokes and I was ready to do some damage. It was the greatest...too bad I didn't come up when we were gambling. 4 hours of sleep later I was ready to go again.
Saturday was spent eating, gambling, drinking (some frozen drink at Fat Tuesdays that had 190 proof alcohol in it!!! i.e. 95% alcohol), Bellagio buffet, Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel (HA HA HA!), Hard Rock, Strip Club, Barbary Coast, and more gambling. Another long night watching the sun come up and going to bed at 7:30am. Sgreat....
So Body English, this club at the Hard Rock Hotel. It's alright...it's just a long line and once you get inside there's like these velvet ropes and some bathrooms, and just one speaker playing music, and there is this dark room where everyone went and never came out of...oh wait, that was the outside to Body English...we never went inside. HA HA HA! So one of the people we went with said that he could get us into Body English with out waiting in line for $30. We paid him, he paid his connection (which was a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend or something like that) we didn't stand in line..but when we got to the door, we had to pay $30 cover!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!???? That wasn't the deal! We all got pretty mad at the dude, and he couldn't get our money back. So he paid us like $25 back with his own money. What did we do? 8 of us pooled our money and gave $200 to Ryan and he played one hand of BLackjack and doubled our money! WOO HOO!!
So all was not lost at Hard Rock. It was good times there actually. I've never been there and I guess that's where all the sexy people go. That place was crazy with people. We just went to a bar, chilled and talked and played drinking games, got me a little tipsy, and then headed off to Crazy Horse Too where Karina was added to the "all-stars". Good times even though I didn't meet the infamous Jenna that Jay and Chris keep talking about.
So the big winner was Mr. Ryan...dude, he's so freaking money. I wish I could do that too. Here I am trying to count cards, while he just plays basic strategy and wins. He just brings $100 to Vegas and comes away with a sooooooo much more. Good stuff, Ryan, good stuff!!! That'll be me this weekend though...big winner, big winner!
Okay, so I'm not a label whore...just because I have a "coach" money clip which was given to me as a christmas gift and just because I have a "burberry" overnight bag which I got FREE with my purchase of cologne...that doesn't make me a label whore. It'd be nice to be a label whore though...I wish I had enough money to be one.
I think Vegas is like a black hole, where time does not exist. Sleeping only 4 hours anywhere else for 2 nights in a row would catch up to a person...but not in Vegas. Seeing the sun come up usually means it's time to wake up...but in Vegas it means, "time to sleep". Time can go fast in Vegas and time can go slow in Vegas. For example Dana asks me, "what was that restaurant we passed by yesterday?"...I think for a while because I don't remember passing any restaurants yesterday then I say, "do you mean Spago??? that wasn't yesterday...that was freaking 3 hours ago!!!". See...there is no such thing as time in Vegas...that's why the casino's don't have clocks.
Oh yeah...and don't forget this quote from Cici:
"It sucks how you can't look at your cards before you bet". HA HA HA!!! Freaking hillarious!!! So 3 days of work for me (I got Friday off), hopefully it'll go by quickly...Such is the life of Joe...
**sigh**
It's that time of the year again...Holiday Season...AKA Joe's annual time to be depressed. Last year wasn't bad at all...I don't think I was that depressed...2 years ago was bad. I would just break down at random times (like at work or driving home and stuff). This year seems pretty bad too...I dunno what it is, I know it's definitely because of the season, but it also might be because I'm getting older, it's because a lot of my friends are experiencing new relationships, and other things.
Yeah, Danielle told me that I look like I've lost weight and she wondered if it was because I'm depressed. I never thought of that but that could be one reason, but I honestly think it's because I haven't been working out and I've lost a lot of muscle mass. Do I look skinnier??? I'm still the same weight, but I look less bulky...boo...gotta start working out again...after Thanksgiving.
So one aspect of depressed Joe that's come to light is that he's a jealous person. Not a bitter jealous person...but just a jealous person as in "why can't I have that" type of thing. A lot of my friends are experiencing new relationships (congratulations to all ya'll) and I'm honestly and truly happy for all of them. I see how the other person just puts a constant smile on their face and just keeps them in such a great mood when they are with them and more importantly when they aren't with them. But there's that part of me that's jealous. I know it's freaking selfish, but I can't help it. I think I'm jealous for 2 reasons: 1st is because obviously things change and I won't have as much time to call/talk to my friends as I used to (this is a given and I can get used to it, so it really isn't a problem)...but I don't really think that's the main reason, I think it's mainly because of the "why can't I have what they have" type of jealousy.
I don't think that I've ever been like this...I guess it's because for the first time in my life I've been feeling lonely. Maybe it's because everyone is pairing off now, or at least that's what I think or maybe it was the wedding, i don't know...but i feel lonely for the first time...but you know what...that's not a bad thing. At least I know what's wrong, right?
And you know what is the funniest thing in the world. It's this blog that Tommy turned me onto and is linked on his blog. It's called The Scott Song Articles and it deals with relationship stuff and just hillarious stuff. Mostly hillarious because it's so freaking true. HA HA HA! Freaking hillarious, stuff about guys, girls, guys and girls being friends, Korean boyfriends, etc. There's also an article by someone named Jane Lok along the same terms. Freaking hillarious stuff...not necessarily true all the times, but it HAS to be true enough for people to write about it, right? Just remember "she doesn't like you, she doesn't like you"...gotta remember that one.
Well, nothing cures depression as much as spending time with friends. Especially when it's spending time with friends in VEGAS!!! WOO HOO!!! Gambling and alcohol galore! I love it! I seroiusly can't wait! Wish me luck...I'll talk to ya'll when I get back. Such is the life of Joe...
Hotmail
Stupid Hotmail, a week after I announce that I'm going to change my email address to "@gmail.com" mostly due to the small mailbox size, they increase my (well, everyone's) mailbox up to 250MB!!! That's like 25 times the size it used to be!!! I still don't like hotmail though...stupid pop up adds etc. I like gmail...with it's 1GB (4 times hotmail and 10 times yahoo) mailbox capacity and it's features like how it groups replies and such into conversations. Here...check out the goods on GMAIL.
Mmmmmmm...crabs. Good times for Cici's birthday. Seafood galore. I swear, when it comes to seafood, I can eat my weight in it and yet still be hungry. It's just crazy. I think it's all that effort that I have to make to get it out of the shells and stuff. But the same thing goes for sushi...except sushi's a little more filling because it has rice.
It's only freaking wednesday!!! Come on Friday! Hurry up...hurry up!!! Such is the life of joe...
Happy Birthday Scorpios
Happy Birthday Iya! Happy Birthday Berto! Hope you guys have a great birthday. I know Iya is...because she has tomorrow off...and the rest of the week!!! BOOO!!! Sucks!!! Hope you oldies have a good one....Vegas Berto...Vegas....such is the life of Joe...
Happy Birthday Cici
Happy Birthday Cici!!! Welcome to the quarter-life!!! Yahoo!!! Now you can rent cars without incurring extra fees and....well, that's about it...woo hoo!!! Hope you have a good one....mmmmmm...crabs...such is the life of Joe...
I love my laptop
I love my freaking laptop...I'm in SD right now in Shawn and Rita's house (very lovely...remind me to freaking take pictures). Sgreat...I love it. I can take my computer anywhere! Sgreat!!!
Today was 'girlfriend's' wedding...it was one of the shortest weddings I've EVER been to. Seriously the ceremony only lasted like 15 minutes. "I do, I do" ok, they're married. It was a perfect day for an outdoor wedding. Wasn't it supposed to rain today? Yeah, I think it was supposed to but luckily it was so nice outside...Elaine looked so happy and you could seriously "hear her smile". Shawn and Rita just joked around that I was sad because 'girlfriend' was getting married but we've only been good friends...and you could see and hear how happy she was. It was great. It was a great time becuase I got to see Elaine, Karen, and Nomar all of whom I haven't seen or kicked it with in too long. Great times. Here's some pictures:
Elaine's Wedding
Ok...so we played a little poker after the wedding at Shawn and Rita's house. Here's what happened. Shawn had pocket Kings....Rita had Ace/8. Here's what comes out on the board...K of hearts, A of hearts, 2 of hearts, 5 of hearts, and 10 of hearts. So it's basically a flush on the board. Shawn thinks he won because he had trip kings (pocket kings and a king on the flop). But it's a split pot, right? You play the board...the board is a flush. Shawn's reasoning is that since they tied w/ the flush you play your hands...and since he had Trip Kings he wins. I said it was a split pot, right? I was right, right?
Ok, that's it for now...hope you all have a great remaining weekend. Such is the life of Joe...
The Weak's End
Album I've been listening to a bit now:
The Weak's End by Emery and also both Strokes albums (those are awesome albums).
Here's my song of the moment though:
Smile Like You Mean It by The Killers
So i watched "Audition" this Japanese movie...it starts off as a nice movie but the last 20 minutes or so...so freaking greusome! AHHHHH!!! It's jsut crazy... I heard about it maybe a year ago, but didn't watch it until now because of Bravo's special of the 100 Scariest Movie Moments where I think it got #11 or something.
So can anyone name the stupidest show EVER on TV? I know you all know it...I know you've all seen it. It's that stupid 360 Dance show with Tommy's favorite DJ K-Sly. This show is soooooooooooo bad....sooooooooooo bad that you can't keep from watching it just to talk smack at the dancers (that's what we do). So it's a dance show but they pick people to solo and the best soloist wins prizes. Some of those people can't dance at all...it's so freaking bad. I don't know why I watch it...I just do. Someone help me!!
So I chatted with a friend today that I haven't chatted in a while. It was short but it was still good....yeah, it's been too long.
So Friday is finally upon us. I'm gonna be down in San Diego for a wedding...my 'girlfriend' is getting married. Weddings are always fun...especially when alcohol is involved. So I hope all ya'll have a great weekend, I know I will...such is the life of Joe...
@gmail.com
First of all, this is to announce that I'm changing my email from "@hotmail.com" to "@gmail.com" so update all your address books and stuff. It's the same first part but change the last part to @gmail.com.
Dude, today is voting day. Here's a tip. DO NOT tell people that you aren't voting...people will chastise you and yell at you and just put you down. I told people at work and they told me that I'm terrible. Ehhhh....I'm too lazy. If you could do it online I'd do it.
November is gonna be a freaking busy month for me. I love it. This weekend I'll be down in San Diego for a friends wedding. Next weekend I'll be in Vegas to celebrate Cici and Belle's birthday. The weekend after that I'll be in Vegas to celebrate Iya's birthday. And then comes Thanksgiving. Wow! Sounds like so much fun, huh? I can't wait! Too bad that there's this thing called "weekdays" and "work days" that fall in between all those fun activities.
So remember...it's November 2nd...a very important day. Yup, it's opening day for the NBA and for our Los Angeles Lakers. At least I'll have something to watch instead of all the stupid news coverage. Go Lakers! Such is the life of Joe...
