Older blog entries for four (starting at number 29)

I've been doing almost nothing the past few days. I think I might go insane if I don't have more stimulation. I am pondering these mosquito bites that I have, I now am thinking that they might be poision oak, I can't remeber what poision oak looks like, I don't care though, It will go away.

I went surfing today, oh wait, I'm supposed to say "bodyboarding" because my girlfriend thinks I'm being a poser if I say "surfing" ;-) . Anyway, the waves sucked, and the beach was crowded as hell, but it still felt good to get wet. My dad wants me to go surfing with him later this morning (Its 2am right now), I would like to go, but I do not think I can wake up at 6am. My girlfriend and I are going to go down to the beach after she gets out of work at 4:30pm.

I made a cd for Kalani, it had some cool songs on it, mostly acid jazz. Want to know what was on it? Proably not, but I'm going to tell you anyway, because I'm bored:

  1. Gza - Outro
  2. The Dust Brothers - Stealing Fat
  3. DJ Luck and MC Neat - A Little Bit of Luck
  4. Gza - Hip Hop Fury
  5. Jazzanova - Coffee Talk
  6. Rza - Samurai Theme
  7. DJ Krush - The Dawn
  8. Bowery Electric - Lushlife
  9. DJ Yas and DJ Krush - No More (I think this is what it is called)
  10. Le Gooster - Elements
  11. DJ Krush - Dig This Vibe
  12. Funki Porcini - It's a Long Road
  13. Ollano - Partir Revenir
  14. Rza - Flying Birds
What do you think? Sounds like a fairly rad cd?

I rented a movie tonight called "Bringing Out The Dead", I thought it was a great movie until the ending when 50% of my questions were not solved. Maybe they were solved, but I'm too stupid to figure it out. Rad movie, but I'm just left clueless.

For some reason I'm fealing rather gothic right now, I think its from watching that movie & discovering the stile project.

Bye.

Just got back from camping, I think half of the blood in my body was sucked out from mosquitos It was fairly fun, though.

I like python, python is cool. It makes me happy.

Teaching my mom LaTeX now, she is a fast learner.

Went with my Kalani to shop for camping stuff. We got a tent and some other crap. Leaving tomarow morning, it should be fun.

Got bored with the web stuff I was doing yesterday, I really need something to work on! I can't think of anything, in the mean time, however, I have been looking over the XML specification and other XML related web sites to figure it out. XML looks pretty cool, I think it would be rad to have some sort of XML <--> Tex thingy. My research has shown that there is already some work in this area, but I haven't found any code yet. This might be project for me... Then again I really don't know, if anyone has any suggestions on a small application that I could write in python email me.

No entry tomarow, I'll be camping :)

Got bored with my programming project, I'm now going to try to do some web based stuff in python. Sucks, I forgot how to use python, hopefully it will come back quickly.

Went out with the Marks last night. We had fun, went bowling. I took a bunch of pictures, but only a few turned out good

I'm teaching my mom HTML and UNIX at the same time! She is making her self a web page, so far, she seems to be doing fairly well.

Peace.

Well, It is early in the morning. I need to write a journal now, because I feel excelent. I mean, my life is just so perfect right now, I wish I could live it forever.

I visited my grandparent's house today, they seem to be doing well. Afterwards I idled the afternoon away. Went over to my girlfriend's house at night to chill with her, after a brisk 1am walk she went to sleep and I headed home. Feeling so excelent, I decided I needed some snacks, went to AM-PM and got an Arizona Iced Tea and some beef jerky. Now I'm sitting infront of my computer at 3am, listening to disco music and chatting on irc.

No school, No work, No responsibilities. Does it get better then this? I feel excedingly happy right now.

Oh yeah, here are some cool song for you to look up:

  • Eek A Mouse - No Problem
  • Abba - Dancing Queen
  • Bee Gees - Night Fever

Peace.

Another day of doing nothing. Been renting movies from Hollywood video every night. Got "A Brief History Of Time" from the library, seems to be fairly interesting so far.

3/4 of my grades are in. Math: A, Physics: B, Philosophy: A. I'm very happy with those results. Takashi (physics teacher) actualy emailed me the wrong grades at first.

Programming is going good. Couple of weeks might have something of use (yes, I know I've said that many times before) :)

A nice relaxing day of doing nothing. I think I have recovered from the whole Magic Mountain thing, and am ready to face the world. However, I'm not going to be facing the world, just coding, so its ok. Designed the UI of my new program, and I am currently writing code..

Not much happened today, researching my little programming project some more. Mostly I played with my new digital camera that arrived. You can see some picture of whatever i've taken here... Pretty fun to play around with that thing.

Talked to Kalani on the phone today, she was working at the high school today for some reason. I think I ignored her on the phone today a lot though, because I was really obsessed with this new camera, I feel bad. We are planning a camping trip for next week, I think.

Got back from a two day stay in magic mountain. Left early yesterday morning around 10:30am. When we arrived at 6 Flags, the tempature meter on the car read 106 degrees. Horribly hot. Standing in line for hours, surrounded by sweaty people is not fun. True, the rides were great, but the ride:line time ratio very low.

At the end of the day, my friends Steve and Terea left to go back to San Diego. Jason and I were in line waiting for funnel cake, so Kalani and Erica left in Erica's car for the motel that they had reserved. Kalani gave us directions to the motel, but it took us over a hour to find the place, it was at least 20 miles away from magic mountain, in some remote corner of hell (Ventura County).

Pulling up to the motel Kalani ran out and told me that the clerk running the place was going to get us in for a cheep price. I go talk to the clerk. The guy is some shaddy fellow who will not speak up, because there were microphones in the lobby. Apparently we were doing some under the table deal for $50 for 2 rooms. After much confusion we finaly got settled in our illigal lodges.

Bobby and Verity got to the motel around the time that we got there. Bobby had interesting storys about how he has become a drug addict and hanging around with ravers and dealers. Fairly interesting storys, I was quite entertained, however, he is being somewhat stupid, if I was to judge him. Just a little too careless for my tastes.

With a ton of people packed into each room, it was not very comfterable. At least I got to sleep on a bed. But the room apparently had no air conditioning. I slept very little, just laying there in the dark heat.

This morning we woke to the shaddy clerk giving us a wake up call, telling us that we had to be out by 7am. After hussling out the door, we went to Dennys for breakfast. We rang up a bill of about $75 between all of us, I offered to put it on my card since I had no cash, I only got a $5 bill from Erica. However, through out the day people gave me money for the bill as they got change for it. I'm a little pissed off though because I ended up not getting back all the money I spent on the bill, infact I paid $30 more (not including the price of my food or Kalani's). Not a big deal, but that somewhat makes me mad, I just don't feel like being an asshole and asking people individualy for money. Sucks.

We were planning on going to the water park at 6 Flags today, but when we got there we found it was closed, so we went to Magic Mountain again. Its not a big deal because most of us have season passes, but that ment another day of standing in sweltering heat waiting for rides. We left around 3pm. It was not fun.

Rode home with Jason, Ken, and Kalani in Jason's car. The trip home was ok, but being stuck in the back seat for two hours, it just doesn't work well with my knees. By the time we got to Kalani's house (where my car was parked) I was completely annoyed with everyone.

One thing in particular that annoyed me, was when we got to Kalani's house, Ken had to go to the bathroom. It went a little like this:

Ken: "I really need to go to the bathroom, can I use your's Kalani?"
Kalani: "er..."
Ken: "... What?"
Kalani: "My parents don't really like people in the house..."
Ken: "I just need to use the bathroom though."
Kalani: "Well, I suppose."

I don't know if its because I've been standing around in 100 degree weather all day, and crammed into the back of a car for hours on end, or the fact I got very little sleep, but I found that Kalani was being extreamly rude and I was fairly offended. I left quickly, came home and took a shower.

It's nice spending time with your friends, but that trip was just too much. I had fun, but had to endure too many sufferings for it. I rather would have stayed home.

I hope to spend the rest of the night relaxing in front of the computer and checking up on some stuff. Might even start a little programming project. Haven't completely wound down from school yet, need to relax.

I'm Back! I think that I will continue to use advogato now, because its cool and all the open source people use it :) .. So here is the update:

  • Kalani and I are still going out. Our relationship is really good, I like her a lot, we get along well. :)
  • School was very hard for me this semester, even though I had no job. My physics class turned out to be a very formatable opponite. Haven't got any grades back yet, but we'll see soon.
  • I've done zero programming between january and now. All of that code I wrote during winter break (4000 lines, I guess its not that much) on the gnap rewrite is going to be trashed, because I'm officialy abandoning the project. Gnapster is just too cool to keep up with. However, I have some new ideas for programs, and I'm researching some stuff right now trying to figure out if I want to do them.
  • I'm looking for a job right now. I have not decided if I want to be a programmer again, or if I just want to work at a gas station or something. Anyone out there in Advogato land need a student programmer type person in San Diego? Here is my resume.
  • Going to have to buy a new car soon, my car is looking pretty shitty, its a Honda Civic 1991, but it has 197k miles on it, and is about to die. I think a 1996 GTI would be a cool car. :)
Anyway, thats all that I can think of now. Peace.
