I have something new to watch and obsess about :)



damn good show. I had dinner with Laura tonight and that was good. I love burgers. mmmm. Other than that, I was at work the whole day. I'm ready for the new year to comee.

The Office Personality Quiz

I'm pretty much obsessed with this show

UPDATE:



I am ridiculously excited for this show to come back on.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to whoever reads this :)





update: so it's 6:34 p.m and I'm currently laying in bed listening to STARS (great band btw). This morning I headed over to Molly's place to drop off her present and a pecan pie for her family. It was good to see that familiar smile again. I kind of lost faith in Christmas over the years. The same things happen and there's not really much difference. My family doesn't really do anything. I didn't have any presents to open but had many to give and I'm pretty content with that. Now that I think of it, I didn't even get a thank you from my parents when I gave them their presents. whatever... Anyways, I really wish I had a big family to celebrate it with. It makes me jealous to see other families have their whole house have that Christmas vibe. I guess I'll just have to wait until I have a family of my own to experience that. I really tried to make today a happy day for me but I have way too much alone time to think about things. Times will get better I can only wish. Hope you guys are having a good one. :) till tomorrow

Funny Things

So last night, I was driving home from David's house to go drop off my amp & guitar to head over to Time Square to go bowl. I was about maybe 500 feet away from the stoplight when I noticed something really bright about the car in front of me that had already stopped at the intersection. All right, so certain cars have those optional t.v's so their kids can watch a movie or whatever to keep them occupied. And other people have t.v's in their car because it's a 'baller' thing to have. But this is just pure ridiculous-ness.

I know the picture is not exactly the best quality but look how ridiculously big that t.v is for that car. I had to take a picture.

I got another ridiculous thing for you guys to watch.



This has got to be the most ridiculous interview ever. haha it's really funny/stupid.

control is something out of my control

i realized tonight that i really missed her. im basically a wreck right now, not knowing what to think or what to do. i wish i knew exactly what to do or how to think.

i wish things were like before but theyre not. ill get through this somehow

damn son

you know how everyone is like "everything happens for a reason"? but what if you try so hard for something that you really want? dont you deserve to at least savor the good things that come out of whatever you strive for? it sucks cause no matter how hard you fuckin try, sometimes things don't go your way. I don't know, I'm just tired of waiting for something good to happen in my life. I've put too much effort into people and other things to only see the negative outcome. I've been patient with whatever life has thrown at me but its becoming way too routine. tomorrow will be a better day.

I like my tea black just like my metal.

I am ridiculously tired of school and wanting to be done with this semester. I feel like I'm repeating what everyone else is thinking in their heads. Anyways, I'm reading for my poli sci test tomorrow and I got sidetracked. This shows you how bored I am.



I got the ornament at the Christmas party last Saturday. It was part of the white elephant ornament exchange. I was disappointed at first but I realized that it was actually pretty damn cool. Another plus is that it's from one of the cool co-workers at the firm. That's pretty much it. Back to studying. After Thursday, partying is going down. fo sho. :)

P.S. totally forgot to include this. But as you can tell, I have this annoying ass pimple on my nose which makes me look like Rudolf the red-nose reindeer. It's really obnoxious and I've put alot of toothpaste on it for the past week and it still hasn't left. So if anyone is reading this, please leave a comment on how to get rid of that damn plague on my nose.

I Can't Sleep

Lately I have not been able to sleep well. Well... now to think of it, its not the problem of sleeping well, it's more of the fact that I sleep late and wake up late. Each night usually ends around 2 to 3 AM give or take. It has definitely become a big problem and I don't know how to fix it. pointers anyone? For some reason the t.v. has cartoon network on but I have it on mute. I should probably hit the sack soon. My stupid comm final is from 2 - 5 pm. wish me luck. I'll definitely need it.
good night world and whoever is reading this.

a year from now

This year has been really hard for me. In April I basically lost my first true best friend. No, he didn't die or anything. He just dropped off the face of the planet on me I suppose. But Molly helped me get over it and made me forget about the whole situation. When this year started, it was the beginning of what I would call 'preparation' for Molly leaving to college. It was something that I had to come to grasp with and I slowly but surely accepted it. When it came down to the dreaded day, it was harder than ever to let go. Little did I know that was the last time I would experience being 'together' with her. She honestly made me lose faith in life. I thought the whole world was in front of me and life was going MY WAY for once. Promises don't mean much to me anymore until I see the outcome. So I've lost 2 best friends in one year. It wasn't what I expected but life isn't what its cracked up to be and you gotta roll with the punches. I've never had a crew or certain people that have been there 'from the start'. And for the first time in my life, I felt like I had a family to rely on. I guess its true when people say nothing good lasts forever. Either that or its just not my time yet. Whatever 'god' or whomever has planned for me, I really hope its worth the time,effort, and pain. I hope 09 has more great things in store for me cause I could sure use some good times and good people. :)

Snow in Houston?!? No Way d00dz!

Yes Way.


REPRESENT. GO COOGS.


This is the progression of bipolar weather for the following week/weekend.
Houston in a nutshell. Period

What can I say about Katy Perry?

Her lyrics are ridiculously witty and catchy. She's damn hot too. But I think that's a given.

Windsor Drive

great band. period

I Want to be 'Made' into...

a badass DJ.



I need one of these for Christmas to start my dream.
Donations are appreciated. :)

I Hate Studying

There's a third page at the bottom but I couldn't fit it in the picture. I have to cram all that in in 2 hours. (That's what she said)

Amazing CD

If you have not listened to 'As Tall As Lions', I suggest you go out and buy their cd.

Happy Turkey Day

It's always interesting when you the family together. Of course, I always start some shit with my mom with some witty remark. I just can't help it. Some of the things that come out of her mouth is ridiculous. I don't know. The more I talk about it, the more it makes me want to leave all of Houston behind and start somewhere new without a care. The tension between my mom and I is always there. I have nothing against her, don't get me wrong. I just don't know what to do anymore. It's always going to be this love/hate relationship. She always thinks I'm the type of disrespectful son that no one wants. I really think everyone in their life needs to break away from family to find their own peace of mind. It honestly makes so much sense. The funny part is its only 2:29p.m and all this shit has been goin down. I wonder what tonight will hold. I'm about to leave to go over to my cousin's place so it'll be good. I really need some time away. I definitely need to go somewhere else and meet new people. Hopefully that'll be soon.

Top 5 Things I Can't Live Without

My...
1. iPod
2. Guitar(s) ( I really need a tele.)
3. Macbook Pro :)
4. Phone
5. Friends

BTW, they're not in any specific order. ha that would be sad if i needed my iPod more than my friends.

Finished

I finally finished my paper for communications. Now its time to sit back and relax. :) We recorded drum tracks for 'sing out loud' and it went pretty well. I realized that I messed up on certain parts. But now we know what to work on and we'll have a better version of the song soon.

It'll be good

Can't Stop Won't Stop

I'm on the phone with Ashley. She's pretty cool... I guess.. haha :) So I decided that I really want to go on tour and move to Philly. I am to the point where I am sick of Houston. There is nothing new going on and I feel like everyday is just another routine.

Opinions/Suggestions?

That's What She Said

I don't think I have told you how much I love The Office. It is THE greatest show ever. This is one of the many reasons why. Michael Scott is genius. Enjoy!

Cold but Still Alive

After an hour and a half, I finally finish recording "Sing Out Loud", a song that I made about a year ago. I wish I knew how to get awesome recordings like they do in the studio. My method consists of placing my laptop on a chair facing my cab. It's better than nothing. I'm glad I made the investment in buying a macbook pro. Amazing computers to work with. It's my music machine. The weather this weekend turned upside down and I am lovin it deeply. Though it won't last long, I still like the fact that I get to wear my long sleeves and a beanie. :) Thanksgiving is near and the Underoath show is comin up. Muchos excited.

Keep warm wherever you are.

Insane

Ill never be as good as him. The song sounds better on an ENGL. If only i had $3000 to throw away on a damn ENGL amp.ridiculous.

Let's Just Pretend

I finally went back to work and school today. I still felt like crap but I made it through the day. The latest Death Cab for Cutie really blew my mind. It was on my ipod but I never gave it a listen. Another band I stumbled upon was A Rocket to The Moon. The EP was all right. It wasn't anything that was mind blowing or strikingly original. But I must say, the song "Dakota" was really catchy. It's already almost 11. Time is going by way too fast for me. The Rockets really need to win tonight. I'm not diggin this losing roadtrip (with the exception of the LA Clippers).


This lead better stay. I don't care if it's 10 point lead or a 3 point lead. They need to win. :)

Down and Out

so i decided to delete my earlier post because it was stupid. it seemed really immature and high school -esque. its been the second day that ive been sick. it pretty much blows. ive been laying in bed and watching the office online. i finally finished constructing wall-e.

it took awhile to get some parts taped down and whatnot. but he came out pretty well. i also got the underoath poster from livenation last week.

im really stoked for that show. itll be awesome. hopefully ill feel better soon so i can start working again. it feels weird to be home 2 days in a row without goin out.

things are gonna change now for the better

i dont know about you but im ready for this change. it was definitely a sight to see when states were turning blue and not red. the only thing that pissed me off a little was the facebook status's of many. some were definitely on the borderline of being offensive and some were just ridiculous in general. whatever your view is on this election, we still live in america and you should respect your country no matter who runs it.

have faith. dont start doubting everything when he hasnt even started his term. ill leave you guys with a quote that this country needs to follow.

"it's time for change."
-President Obama

whats in my 6-cd changer?

1. terminal - how the lonely keep
2. scary kids scaring kids - self titled
3. brighten - early love/ king vs. queen/ ready when you are
4. brand new - deja entendu
5. finch - what it is to burn
6. august burns red - messengers / the devil wears prada - plagues


whats in your cd player?

unless youre rich and have one of those aux inputs to connect to your ipod. then you dont count.

oh golly

have you ever had a silly crush on someone that is basically unreachable? well i never really had one until now. :)



stacy of eisley. :) man, what a pretty girl.

almost there

ive been in the library for about 5 hours now. im tired and im hungry. : / i finished my comm theory paper not too long ago and now im studying for the comm theory test thats at 4:30. man i cant wait to sleep in my bed tonight.



back to studying...

what a lame week

sometimes i wish school was optional but unfortunately its not. : / im at this coffee shop called Cricket's Creamery & Caffe where angela works at. im supposed to be starting on my comm theory paper but im still trying to figure out how to start it.



i love free wi-fi. i think i might start going to coffee shops more often. :)
they have too many flavors to choose from. i feel like a kid all over again.



someone needs to start a petition to get acceptance back together and tour again.


listen to
acceptance- in the cold

acceptance

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

its time for fall

i woke up around 7am cause i had a dentist appointment. that was lovely. i was all groggy and i parked in the wrong building which made my morning even better. then i went to work from 10-12. today was national boss's day so our office had a pot luck deal and the food looked deeelishh. but i had class from 230-4 which was lame but my co-workers saved me a plate which was awesome of them. :) so after class i headed back to work and ate what my co-workers saved me. and man it was a damn good lunch. i ended up doing the same thing at work the whole time which included scanning old files and sorting papers. that was fun must i tell you.



theres alot more papers behind that stack. and it grew taller throughout the day. and i found out something that i never thought would exist. its soooo goooooooodddd.



i get bored sometimes and get on AIM. and guess who was on? karina. she entertained me for a good 10 minutes.



that was pretty much my day. long and boring and uneventful. :)
the office comes on tonight. im excited about that. till tomorrow.

later

done

im sick of trying so hard for someone. its time for things to go my way. tonight will be the start of me not putting myself out there to be disappointed. this is getting ridiculous. why give a shit about someone who doesnt give a shit or even thinks about taking the time to make you feel like youre still apart of their life?

fuck it.

clean room

i just got done cleaning my room and it is pretty damn awesome. i feel all clean and stuff.

i should've taken a before picture but oh well. i even organized my cork board which was all over the place.

i made sure i had space for the parking ticket i got in downtown. :)
and i just realized that i pretty much play only marshall amps.

i swear im not obsessed... it just happened to be that way. haha.
i even cleaned the top of my tv. i used to clutter it.

and yes i have 2 deodorants and i use polo black. with those powers combined, i smell like paradise. :)


i pretty much did nothing else today. just layed in bed and slept so i would feel better. another boring monday once again. tomorrow i have my interview with livenation at 4 which will hopefully be good. ill let you know what happens.

hopefully your night is going better than mine. im exhausted once again.

we are birds

today was loonnngg. it started out with going to U.H to pick up ariel and melissa. we (well... i think i was the only one) drank some of melissa's special coffee concoction. it was delicious. after that we went to go get my oil change. the wait was pretty long. maybe an hour and a half. we got pretty bored.

this is us waiting in the waiting room and ariel with his pimpin $100 sunglasses. after that we headed over to memorial city mall where we tried to find shoes and anything else that was cheap that we found. in the end neither of us had bought anything other than food. so afterwards we headed over to DSW to find some shoes and of course ariel found some pimpin shoes.

they're kenneth cole's which make them even 10x better. i needed shoes for marco's wedding next saturday so we made a "roadtrip" to first colony to find the shoes i wanted which in the end wasn't even the shoe i got.
they almost look like this but with different stitching designs

i know what youre thinking. ariel and i got basically the same shoes. haha. the answer is "sort of". whatever. the fact is that we both got brand new spankin shoes that are better than yours. :)

that was pretty much my day. it has been a long day and now i am on the phone with laura and watching the oregon vs. ucla football game. till tomorrow kids.

song of the day
brighten - we are birds

top of the morning to you

good morning world. my fridays are getting lamer and lamer each week. im always tired after work. yesterday i got off at 6 and i went straight home to sleep till 9. then i went over to angela's place to go chill for a bit. played guitar hero of course and that was pretty much it. i was exhausted. i watched the office for a bit. im starting to get a feel for that show. but nothing beats scrubs. :)

today i will be hanging out with ariel and melissa while i look for clothes for marco's wedding next saturday. that should be exciting. ill post something later tonight. ill post pictures from today's adventures later today.




this is an "action shot" from last night. my camera phone isn't that great. but i cant argue, it is 3mp.

so this is my baby. well.. the back of it.

uneventful

today was another one of those boring weekdays consisting of work, work, and work. lame.

i guess heres a couple of pics.



this is one of my co-workers who make my workdays more interesting than it is. :)




random picture of abraham lincoln drawn by somebody in '79. crazy

that was pretty much my day. the rockets are about to play. schweet.
GO ROCKETS!

numb

so i just got off the phone with molly. it makes me really happy to hear her voice. but at the same time it makes me sad that i dont get to hear that voice everyday. i dont know what to do anymore. im so half and half on everything. a part of me is like move on, theres probably better things out there. the other half of me is like, do what your heart feels. if you love her, stay with her. im just so confused. im glad to hear that shes been having fun at school. i want nothing more than for her to be happy. what do you do when a person you love is 2000 miles away and you have no idea if that person still has feelings for you? i like to think that im doing fine and living my life. but when theres things everywhere that remind you of that person, its hard to not think about them. theres so many questions i want to ask her but i dont have the nerve to because i dont want to push her away even more than she is. lets just put it out there though.

what am i to you?
do you still have any feelings whatsoever?
would you ever consider getting back together?
have you found someone else?


thatll pretty much sum it all up. everything that was new to me, i wanted to experience it with her. i learned so many things and met so many people and had so many fun experiences with her. and the great thing was the fact that i did experience all those great times with her. i didnt want it to stop. i dont want to let go what i once had. it was honestly the best time of my life. but well see waht the future holds. i dont think she knows this but she definitely still has my heart. and fuck people who think im ridiculous. it just sucks because i know ill def push her away even more if she knew all this. but im just tired of holding myself back and lying to myself. thats pretty much it. im done for the night.

surprise

so i woke up to this girls face this morning. i think her eyes are crossed but i cant tell. either way, shes crazy.




emery has a new song. check it
myspace.com/emery

a girl named catherine

its funny how you meet someone after 1 day and you feel like youve known them forever.

so theres this girl named catherine. she reminds me alot of myself back when i thought i knew the world perfectly. if i looked at her for 5 minutes i wouldve thought she was the chillest person ever. but shes gone through alot of stuff that would make my experiences seem like a small problem.

but shes a cool kid. so this blog goes out to her.


<3 keep your head up

dead end

So the flood gates open but nothing comes out
I’m feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
But my heart keeps telling me ‘hold your ground.
You’ll never learn a thing if you bail out now’

And I’m lonely again tonight
I can feel it like a knot in my side
They keep saying this is part of the ride
But I’m not getting stronger.

Yet hold me against the light
And do you see any bullet inside?
Wouldn’t find one if you magnified
Because you’ve got the wrong girl

Had my fingers around the back of your chair
You’d never missed a thing but you missed me there
And I just kept thinking ‘Am I prepared
To pull it out from under your trusting stare?’

Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
And I’m walking round bumping into things you said
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
I’d be cooling down the fire if I thought I could.

And the flood gates open but nothing comes out

a good night

i hung out with these guys last night. it was the first night since july that i actually felt like i can be myself again. theyre great


go listen to
Missy Higgins - The Wrong Girl

great music

boring day

the next couple of weeks are gonna suck hardcore. ive got so many tests comin up its ridiculous. gahh! so today i felt like a lazy butt and did nothing. last night i went to the taiko festival with nataly and that was hella fun. i have 11 mosquito bites from that show though. stupid ike. it looks like i have a rash on my back now. bleh. ghey. tomorrow will be "fun". i have to study for my spanish quiz on monday. that class is really hard. im so behind. ughh... im not really proud of myself when it comes to spanish. i feel so stupid when the teacher calls and me and i have absolutely no idea how to respond to her question and the whole class looks at me. : / my heart starts pounding and shit. its really lame. hopefully ill study alot tomorrow and ace this quiz. other than that, nothing else is really on my mind.



life is hard. i wish things were easy. but theyre not. i dont know what the hell anything means anymore. i just feel like if i gave up on everything, i can start over. but that cant realistically happen. gah! bleh. its just whatever... tomorrow will be a better day.

city and colour - day old hate

new beginnings

feels like its been forever. well. alot of shit has gone down since the last time i posted. me and molly broke up and its been something that im still trying to get over. i wish her the best and hopefully things will settle down in the coming months. its crazy though, ever since the break up i feel like i realized what the meaning of commitment was. it sucks being alone though. but every experience is definitely a life lesson and you grow from it. i still think about her every time before i go to sleep wondering if maybe shes thinking about me too. its something im trying to adapt to.

on a lighter note, im trying to get an internship with livenation @ house of blues. hopefully thatll work out. other than that, the hurricane was a bitch to houston and im thankful for electricity and hot water.

ill post more stuff later
if you get the chance, listen to Alive in Wild Paint (myspace.com/aliveinwildpaint)

good stuff

SKRILLA!

sometimes i get bored and video chat with people. :)

i havent updated this in awhile. so ill fill you in on whats happenin. ive been really doing nothing but hangin out with friends and working. thats probably it. the end. haha. :)

point a to point b

Total Estimated Distance: 1776.98 miles

thats pretty far from here... but point B is where my heart belongs for the rest of this year

long week, bleh!

its saturday night/sunday morning and im glad the new week is about to start. i cant wait till school starts so more new things will come my way. but at the same time i dont want it to start because molly will be gone... : / im trying not to think about it so much but its starting to settle in i guess. i finally realize that life is starting to hit me. im in college and in love with a girl who will be 293482034 miles away. well not exactly that far away, but pretty far for me. i have complete faith in our relationship will last. but when i actually say those words, for some reason i feel childish... thinking everything will work out for the better when were not even apart yet. so world, do you think im foolish for thinking this? who am i kidding... no one is reading this. ha! but it doesnt matter what others think. i love this girl to death and thats all i need to stand by. well... thats it for now. more ranting later. :)

have a good one

wasting words on lower cases and capitals

today was like any other day. wake up, go to work, molly's house, and since its monday, bowling league. i felt really bad that molly was starting to feel a little under the weather this week. so i got off at 4 to go chill with her until my league at 6. unlike the other nights, my left butt cheek ridiculously hurt when i stop at the end of my release. i ended up fuckin up badly with splits and what have you. i shot 151 181 235. up and down. pretty lame if i must say. thats about it. nothing exciting. hope this week ends more exciting. :)

right now im scarfing down a ramen while watching scrubs. how awesome.

the beginning (again)

well its july 4th and im tired as hell. i decided this will be my first post. today was pretty good. im not really diggin the weather too much. but its houston, so you can't expect much. i went golfing for a bit. that was pretty fun. im definitely improving considering its only been the 4th time ive been out to the driving range. later, i went with molly's family to galveston for 4th of july festivities. it got pretty humid after awhile and i was ready to leeeave. so now im hungry and im gonna go eat. hopefully i'll get some pictures up and this time ill keep up with this unlike my livejournal from '03. :)
