Ronnell just offered me a good paying job. I'm not sure why I don't want to jump at the chance. I'm not feeling this opportunity nor the location. I think I'm pretty content at this point....for some reason I'm content with life...heh

Craig David's accent is so cool. He sounds so sophisticated...heh heh...ANNNNNYWAY.

Time to sleep...

Tonight was the SDYM Shakey's night and I hope it went well.

It's weird now that the confirmation program finally came to an official close. I'm going to have a void in my Wednesdays for a while. Tonight reminded me why I'm so thankful for my SDYM family. I felt the energy from Bobby & Kevin's presentation. The closing tonight was just as good. I guess we're going to have to skip our weekly Denny's trips. Speaking of Denny's, I really enjoy spending my time with everyone there. I enjoy the conversation (or lack thereof), the jizz jokes and the overall good vibing we do. It's always a trip to talk to Gabriel. You can converse with him so many levels. Anyway, I'm ready to crash and burn. I have a commencement to go tomorrow.

CONGRATS VIC!!!

I totally forgot about Shakey's night tonight! Well, at least now I have somewhere to go and something to do!

I think I'm officially done with this new layout =)

I finished this layout last night but I ironed out the bugs...you like?

This is the first time I've had a day without ANYTHING to do. I haven't had a day like this for a while. I'm going to relax today and let myself enjoy this. Now that I have all of this newfound time, I'm going to make a few adjustments and mend some relationships.

Dear Best Friend,

Happy Birthday! I hope you like it. I know it's not the best. I wish I could afford to get it for you, but I figured that it's a start.

Love,
Mark

Update is in the works.

To Bill & Christie:

Thank you very much for all of your hospitality. =)

First off...THANK GOD I'm out of school.

Anyway, since it's the first 3-day weekend of the year, work has been pretty slow for the weekend. Needless to say that people weren't all that generous.

There hasn't been anything worth talking about...

I'm at a co-worker's house having a pretty laid-back time. I haven't been able to spend some time with my buddy Lara for a while so we figured that this would be a great opportunity to just go out with her. It's actually Christie's house and the inner geek wanted to play. I really love the people I work with. It's just too bad that I don't really spend enough time with them. I'll get back to being the cool sober guy at the party...hahaha

A good friend's birthday party is tomorrow...well...today. Eh, you get the picture.

My apologies for the sudden lack of reading material. I took my first final this morning and I think I didn't do too bad. I had to come back to campus and meet some people for a study group for my Math class. I really needed it. Well, I actually have a LOT of material to study for but hey, at least I know where to start. After this Thursday, I'm going buckwild.

Last Saturday was something that will not be forgotten for a while. I went to the USHER concert in Irvine at the Verizon Ampitheater. Thank you SOOOO much Gail, Paul, Kookie, Jean, and Erwin for making my first concert a good one. Thankfully, I'm not sick.

Last Sunday was super-duper too. It was Monica's 17th birthday. I haven't had so much fun at Chuck E. Cheese's in a while. Star Wars and skeeball seemed to be the weapons of choice that day...I was also "uninvited" to a BBQ that night. It's nice to know that there are people that care about my well-being. heh heh.

Now that I got my weekend out of the way...let's talk about some current issues.

There was some girl that was singing her lungs out on campus today. She was totally off-tune and everyone just looked at her. I don't think she was aware of how loud and/or terrible she sounded. Far be it for to judge but hey...the truth is the truth. I've never heard "You Don't Have to Call" so butchered before.

Anyway, I'm going to head home in a bit. There some season finales that are worth taping. =)

Don't expect anything from me for a while. I have some studying to do. Ugh...2 more finals to go.

Off to class..........

I don't feel like myself right now. Not in a bad way...just I feel a little off. I guess you can say that the pressure of finals is starting. =\

First off, I was going to be early for school for once and I couldn't find my wallet anywhere. After finding that stupid thing I another short search for my car keys. I had a rough drive to school. I couldn't figure out why my stomach was squirming all the way up to school. Right when I parked, I remembered that my mom had put some milk in the pasta she had made. Geez, I can't even type right.

I'm not really having a bad day...but I'm really not feelin it.

Not just yet.

I miss you buddy!

Crap! I can't find my USB cable for my camera...looks like the window of destiny will be out of order for a while.

I saw Spiderman the the other night and it was totally worth my money. I'm so tired of all these people saying, "Why Kirsten Dunst? She's not hot...BLAH BLAH BLAH" or "Why Tobey Macguire? He's not cute...BLAH BLAH BLAH" SHUT UP! Who cares? I thought they made the movie what it was. It wasn't so much a thinking movie but it acheived its purpose. I was filled with anticipation and intrigue...just like when I was a kid and getting to see Batman on the screen. That's what it was all about. I mean...c'mon, if you want people be "hot" to play a character...go rent a porno or something. Sheesh. Get over it...enjoy the movie. People can be more anal than Joan Rivers sometimes.

------------

In other news, I bought Michelle Branch - "The Spirit Room" and Jimmy Eat World - "Bleed American"...I'll be getting Lauryn Hill's unplugged album soon. *grin*

I'm thinking of changing the layout...JUST THINKING.

okay, back to work Mark..........

I think I started some sort of trend with the people from SDYM. Looks like another someone else wanted to start a blog...

I hope my cousins up North are okay. There was an 5.2 quake in Gilroy and I can't help but wonder if they are okay...

Wow, I've been gone for a few days...

First off...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO GET MY MOMMY!!!

I just got home from a REALLY rough night at work. Tips weren't all that...and seriously, TELL A FRIEND THAT 15% (or more) IS A GOOD TIP. . People are so ignorant sometimes. Ay...customers are such an odd and idiotic breed.

A couple of co-workers and I went out after work to unwind. It was real nice to finally talk to them outside our element.

During my break I decided to call a real good friend of mine. Heh, I totally owe her some time. I really miss a lot of people right now and I often wonder if they at least think of me once in a while. *sigh* I hate not keeping in touch. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so busy all the time.

I was just watching the news and there are 8 days until Star Wars Episode II comes out. There are 4 guys who are camping out in front to be the first people who get a ticket. Fucking dweebs...

Oh yah...

There was another one of those swap meets at school. I got Sum 41 and Natalie Imbruglia for $10 brand new and janet and Design of a Decade for $8 each.

And another thing...I WASHED my car inside and out. About time huh?

It's funny how things turn out after 2 years. It's odd how I still feel it after I've gone through it so many times. I never really knew how to take compliments. heh. It's not like I don't like em, it's just that I feel like I don't really deserve praise sometimes. Call it a weakness I guess.

I'm home early for once. We didn't go have our weekly dinner tonight. It feels really weird.

I'm done...Gail you're next.

damn. I gotta go...we have to kill the comps...=\

It's that time of week again. Yup...I'm in my english class trying to catch up with this thing. ANNNNYWAY, this thought has been marinating up to now. I know that you don't have to please anyone else, but isn't it obvious, that in some way, we feel like we have to impress our parents? I went to Denise's confirmation party the other night and noticed how "Filipino" The conversations were. The moms were comparing the acheivements of their offspring. Denise and I both noticed this going on. We both agreed that it's funny how parents are never satisfied with what we do. Although they seem so dissapointed, the parents actually have bragging rights to what WE do. It's not that they aren't proud...but it seems like the pride shows in all the wrong places.

Any thoughts?

Anyone want to sign the guestbook? *ahem* I'm sorry, did I type that out too loud?

I'd LOVE to sit and fill you in on my thoughts. I had plenty today, but hey...I'm tired. How does tomorrow sound?

I thought so... good night

When it comes to my hair, I get pretty spontaneous. Don't get me wrong, I'm the type of guy that gets mad if you mess with my hair. (vain anyone?) Anyway, remember my old header?

The old school look? hahaha. I waited and debated on whether or not I should cut the mop off. Right when I sit down I blerted out what I usually request. I feel weird with my sides all naked. I have more hair changes than Justin Timberlake. heh... Well in any case I'm satisfied

The evil is over. I finished a 9 page history paper. I even had to go to work. I made a meager 20 bucks. Now I'm at Jo²'s house helping her out with her computer. Needless to say, the geek in me totally took over. heh. I guess I could say I had a productive day. Here's to another four day weekend...

Don't people sign guestbooks anymore?

It's kind of sad to know that tonight was the last night all of my students would be together. I received a present from one of my students tonight. She gave me a beautifully framed picture of the two of us at her Confirmation reception and a cool candle. I gave my students a wallet size picture from the retreat and promised them 2 CD's in the mail. heh...I intend to follow through with that.

In other news, I love the feeling of empowerment. I finished a 9 page history paper today.

TAKE THAT PROFESSOR SMITHERS! (no relation to Waylan)
