Well...one more night of partying and gettin' down before responsibilities need to be addressed...
Hope you guys enjoyed that last post...I kno I did when I read it in the morning.=)
Last night I spent some time with the guys...Chris, Ryan, and Jeremy. We went out to finally watch Snatch.
Dan: Dude, we're goin' out to watch Snatch...wanna come? Jerome: Man, I'm sot tired...I would but I'm just out of gas today...what is that anyways? Dan: What...Snatch? Jerome: Yeah, I've never heard of it before. Dan: Oh yeah? Well dude...its a porno. Jerome: huh...really?? Hmm...I think I might have to go.
heh...that guy...anywayz, Snatch was a great film...its a good "guy/macho" film...very hip..the way it was shot..the characters, all with their little code names...Franky Four Fingers, Gorgeous George...y'kno..=) I highly recommend...
That means I saw 2 great flics this week...two films I've been meanin' to catch...I don't kno if you understood my thoughts on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in that last post=) But I really dug that movie too...cute chic...but then...I think I said that one already..ha.
So now I'm sittin' in our computer room...with my stoneage computer...with some chill tunes playing on this rainy friday...things are dark outside...with those little water beads on the window. Just sittin' here...its pretty nice...I wish I could stay. So comfy in this chair here...lookin' out the window to our backyard...and that house on the next street...thats always been there...sky's pretty gloomy looking, but it doesn't reflect my feelings...when I think of another semester at school, I get excited...when I think about where I'm gonna be livin' for awhile...I think its gonna be tough. But stay on the positive...things'll turn out...they always do if you wait it out. Like today...I got a letter from my school saying that they cancelled a course I'd registered for...so I called them up to straighten things out...and now I have the same class on a different day...only now, I've got a three day weekend.=) So thats cool....
I don't kno....even if I DO find a place...I'm starting to wonder if we'll have enough to pay for the initial deposit...because the security deposit I got back from my old landlord went toward tuition....so basically, my ends are gettin' pretty low....*sigh* We'll see how things play out.=T
As for now...tonite...spend a lil' more time with mom...and go out with the fellaz...maybe meet up with Susan later...oye...I guess I'm the type of guy who can't just party and have things lingering over my head...so I gotta figure things out so I can have fun...if that makes sense.=) Alrite....well, I'm off...

WE HAVE ICE CREAM! heh...yeah...its a big deal. Pssh...=) Yea yeah...given its Healthy Choice, its good stuff. So after this blog, I'm goin' downstairs to have some more...
Spent some time at home with moms and doin' a little searching online for a place to live. In the evening, I finally mailed off my tuition money...I thought it was gonna break the bank, and thats why I left it so long(its due the 26th), but just yesterday, I recieved one of those reminder letters...y'kno..."please pay XXXX...check, cash, credit card...please enclose check with this detached form...etc(Dang...they're so polite when it comes to cash and bills that have to be paid huh?)"...I looked it over, everything the same...'cept this time, the amount due was significantly less than a previous notice I got about two weeks back. Hmm...I look it over some more...its never really explained...but it looks like its been paid for already...all I see is the missing amount deducted from my overall tuition....so...hell, like I'm gonna call 'em up and say, "Uhh...'scuse me...there seems to be a mistake...y'see...I believe I owe you more money." HELL NO....heh...shoot...if they find out, they find out...but I've never been one to snitch.=X Besides...someone may lose they're job for that mistake, and I would be heart broken if I caused that...nyeheHEHEhehe*evil scientist laugh*
So thats taken care of...my mom also came home from goin' out with my grandma, with an electric blanket for me...ain't that sweet?=) Well, it seems these things are bein' bought up like hot cakes over here in Cali...what with the energy crisis and all...so that should be very useful.
I cooked a little dinner for my mom and I...I guess I've been spending a lot of time around her...not talking all the time, but y'kno..jest chillin'. I think partly because I kno that she'll be lonely when I leave, and thats the last thing I want her to feel like. I got mad at her today, because she was lookin' online for a place for me and she would tell me to do things like "go call these people...it looks like a good room", and like "did the guy e-mail you back? What did he say"...she even called home from when she was over at my grandma's house to find out if someone in particular e-mailed me back...so yeah, I got mad at her...first of all...I DO NOT want her to have something else to worry about...one time I asked her, "Dang, you must have a lot of time on your hands...since you only work a few days a week, and don't have to clean up after anybody.." and she answered "No, I don't have time.." "Why not? What do you do?" "I worry." So yeah...like I wanna add to that...dang. I mean, I appreciate a little help and support, but in no way do I want her to worry about it...y'kno? Secondly...when she gets all worried and agitated...it gets ME worried and agitated...while if it was just me...I'm not worried...I'm just makin' options, and thinking of contingency plans, and "everything happens for a reason" and all that...but when she gets worried and all that, it kinda screws up my "mind flo" if you will...y'kno what I'm sayin'? I can cope with my own worries and emotions on the subject, but I can't handle two. And lastly...I wanna ENJOY the remainder of my vacation=) I don't want this to work its way into my every thought and action...and I've done this before last time I was on the room hunt, and the pressure was on. And thats something I don't want to experience again...I just kno that if I go into it with a plan A...and a plan B...and maybe even a plan C...then theres only so much I can do...roll with it..and don't bust a nut. Dig?
Wow...tomorrow is just a full day...man, its filled up...like if it was one of those Guiness adds...y'kno, with all the bubbles flowin' over the side...anywayz, during the day, its "Vintage Day" with Ger...finally=) Yay...maybe I'll drag her to Krispy Kreme..well bebe, its been a long time commin'. Then after that, I'm goin' to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with "she"...which is totally cool, cuz I finally get to see it=) And lastly...need I say more than "one-dollar-you-call-its".
I just wanna say to Sarin and Willy that I haven't dissappeared or anything..I haven't talked to you guys in awhile...I don't have ICQ on this piece of shiet. But anywayz...I'm keepin' up with u're guys' pages=) Keep up the good work...(they're in my links section)
OKay...and that completes another update. Man...its gonna be so cool lookin' back on all these entries to see where I was at...what I did...how I felt...I'm lookin' forward to that day sometime in the distant future=)

Man, at least I won't be goin' back to SF wishing I had eaten more SD mex food. I just made a food run about an hour ago, and polished off the carne asada chips...mmmh...good.
We celebrated Vietnamese New Years early this time around...not too sure why, but we did. So I spent some most of the afternoon driving food between my mom and my grandma's house...y'see, she cooked a few dishes and we cooked a few...and its like a "have some of mine, and I'll take some of yours" type thing. Between all this, I had time to make it down to Vons to deposit my security deposit from my old room, get an immitation drink, and drive over to the Ozzie's Music in Poway...I'd been meaning to make my way down there all break. Just perusing the music books just got me all excited about things again...I think I've been kinda losing interest just playing the same old Yankee Doodle and America The Beautiful...I needed some stuff that I dig...unfortunately I was a little low on cash, so I'll be back tomorro.=)
When I got back, my mom and I had a very small, quiet vegetarian dinner...just my mom and a few dishes, with our little rice bowls and chopsticks...munching as she told me a little about New Years back in her youth in Vietnam. I guess some people get bored of their parents stories...but I really enjoy hearing about my parents youth...and how they remember Vietnam. I can only imagine what its like to live that life. My parents' story is the classic immigrant story...moving over here, they lived in very meager conditions...they both worked at a chicken farm in Maryland...very long hours, for a place to stay and a small wage. My mom used to tell me how she'd buy a small little package of potato chips...and each day, she would have one or two a day..."what a delicasy at the time" she told me....daaaaAAAaaang...crazy. Theres much more...and everytime they get in the story telling mood, there's a little more of the story filled in.
Well, the days of reckoning are comming closer and closer...I'm trying not to not think about it...cuz then it'll sneak up on me, and I'll be "Holy ish!"
Thats it for tonite...I think I'll hit the hay early today...well, it is 3:22 already...oh pooh. I'mma go down and make some OJ, drink some...then go to bed. OYE

Well I did go out...I did meet Nelz, in her monkey pajamas at Vons, I did see the pictures, I did get an immitation brand name drink(2 to be exact) and I did go to the Mega Barns and Noble for awhile. There, I spent damn near 3 hours just milling around...reading...some great inspiration...some good reading...it was good.=) On the way back home, I was inspired to try out something...so I stopped by Vons to pick up some special rice and a fillet of salmon.
If I wasn't an artist, I'd probably be a musician, and if not a musician...then probably a chef.=) Yep, I digs cookin'...but I guess its for the better that I'm not unleashed upon the world as a cook...I've got some pretty wierd tastes. And oh, I do consider people in those three professions to be artists...at least some of them. You guys have probably never seen this side of me...because since I've started this page, I'd been livin' in that ghetto house...and...well, bein' in that kitchen made me lose my appetite=) So I never really got that inspiration to cook...But anyhoo...I was excited to get started when I got home....I worked out a recipe as I went along grabbing ingrediants. I decided in my mind back at Vons that I was going to make a risotto. Whats cool about cooking is once you know the basis of what you want to cook(say, a creme based pasta sauce), you can go ahead and go creatively nuts within those boundaries. Measuring everything out...following instructions to the "T"...thats for pansies=) I mean, you want a little more cilantro...a little more pepper...a smidgit more taragon...you put it in...because its YOUR dish...and thats where all that lovin' care comes in...and all that good stuff=P So yeah...cookin' is cool man...anywayz...I went ahead and prepared the ingrediants...diced the onions, minced the garlic, prepped the fillet and pretty soon, I was well on my way...
Things turned out pretty good...but next time will be better.=) Afterwards, I spent more time with mom...
Man, this housing thing is still very much in the air...yeah, I've pretty much already got a plan, but I'm definately gonna have to rough it for awhile. My plan is to stay in some form of temporary housing, and going to school at the same time. I talked to my old landlord, and like I said before...he told me that he thinks someone will be moving out of the ghetto house I used to live in, and to give him a call when I get up there....this still means I'll be in temporary housing for at least a week, even if this goes through(which, to be honest...is probably the best case scenario). Worst case scenario, a room won't be available where I used to stay, and I'll be in temporary housing for an undertermined amount of time....and this temporary housing...its pretty bad. Of course I haven't told my parents or my brother how bad it was...(I visited my friend there when he got kicked out of the dorm awhile back). I'm just crossin' my fingers that a room will be available in my old place...but knowing my luck with accomodations these past few months...pssh. And even if I come back to that house...man, I'll still have to see those that screwed me...grrrrRRrr. We'll see how things go...I've got a few things floating around, but I don't want to jinx myself...so, as I've learned...sometimes y'just gotta let things play out.
I'm kinda proud of myself for how I'm handling things...I'm not stressin' out...I'm planning...and mentally preparing myself for a few weeks of rough times. I am excited about this upcomming semester...those artsy fartsy juices are startin' to swirl about again and I can't wait to dig in...learn, produce, and meet new people. "She" gave me a card that had some words of encouragement...I thought that was very thoughtful, and made me feel better as well...

I kno dudes...I haven't been updating. Well...it SEEMS that I haven't been updating, but I did write this awsome, all-encompassing, work-of-art-in-literature blog yesterday(yeah, its really easy to say that now huh?), but it got eaten up by this fuckin' piece of crapolla computer we've got here at home. Yeah...I blamed it on the computer. All its got goin' for it is DSL...thats it...thats like puttin' some badass, rockin' racin' wheels on a Chevy Nova. Pssh...damn.
Hmm...I was contemplating calling Chris up to ask him if he wanted to go get some...I MEAN...go see Snatch tonite...but then he's got school already, and today IS Sunday...sooo. I guess I'll do some cruisin' around...head out to Vons first and grab a 25cent drink from the machine out front....so what if its of the "Mountain Breeze", "Dr. Bepper" and "Artic Brew" variety...they're good, alrite?=) I gotta go withdraw some moola from the ATM, meet Nelz..I just got done chatting with her...she's got some pictures from the rave and snowboarding I wanna see, so she's headed down there right now to pick them up. Afterwards, the plan is to drive around a bit, maybe hit up the Barns and Noble in Mira Mesa...who knows...I may just get a desire to head to the beach...that would be beautiful right now...I better bring a jacket...Okay, I'm off peoples...
