So it's the end of college. Yes, I have graduated. but that was two weeks ago. Its been a long and arduous journey. FOUR YEARS, jeez thats a lot of time. Now I have to get a real job, but in the mean time I will be bumming around AA (til my lease ends in july). So my plans are to get a license and make a movie and of course find a job.

Well first off, I got my permit and now I can drive, but I have to wait 30 days to take the exam. So I've been driving and learning, honing my skills. Yesterday "the trombones" and me went to chicago to visit the places where they filmed Ferris Bueller. So we went to the sears tower to peer over the window and that was fun.There were a group of kids there. That was normal I guess but kinda annoying. But we were being annoying too; so lil kids you guys learn from us big kids. Steve said that one of the kids asked an older lady "What if you were to jump off the building?" she said " you would definetly hit the ground pretty hard." then he retorted "Not if you have a parachute" in an obnoxious manner. Go little kid! Then we started a conversation about zip lining down the building and how you would pay for it. Michael said the highest amount of a hundred and fifty dollars. So then we left and saw the area where the parade was and the red sculpture thing on the street. Later we had to run in the rain to get back to the car, on the way we saw some "fine" (Pablo Fransico) ladies. We then went to chinatown to eat and Steve was pointing out some girl, then I made a stupid reference to Robin Williams' stand up "That is one ugly panda bitch..." I won't go on. but it was funny at the time. Then we drove to the high school where Ferris Bueller was filmed. We took some pictures and then Mike defecated in it. Its a great story to tell all your friends. haha. So then we hit some traffic and everyone was tired, but me (I had like two pots of tea equivalant to a cup f coffee). So I drove the rest of the way after the traffic jam. Thats cool, I learn that truckers always want to pass you, but don't you let them, you don't wanna be called a wussy, and something that rhymes with that.

The other thing I'm doing this summer is making movies. I have a few movie ideas, but nothing solid enough to film or otherwise. So one idea is like the many plot stories that come together in the ends. We have the amateur thieves trying to steal cable and failing. We have the break up love story and it goes on ... not too solid so nothing beyond that... I've got dialogue but its really bad. Another idea to make is a version of MTV I'm goin to call Chi-TV, where I make my friends lipsync to duet songs with me. It's a lil closer to my plan of doing a musical, but thats way too hard for the time schedule I'm on. Another idea is to base a short film on a certain card trick; that is being developed now, but it probably will be the one we will use. And thanks to my friend Francis I have another movie, where the movie will be based on a live web journal. I was thinking along the lines of doogie howser kinda deal. Thats all y'all.

Dang... I havent written anything in like three months... surprise... I'm back.. today I'm suppoese to be doin my project... programming stuff but I'm not. I'm here just writing gibberish on xanga (in the media union).. how lame... so I think I'm out of that insomnia phase.. I think the weekend of CS cured me. Go desert eagle!! haha

I'm just worried that I'm goin to revert back to the sleepless night during finals..ughs..I'm not too worried cause I know that I can do it.. well I also found out many things during thanksgiving weekend. I was asked a lot of religion questions.. And I think I answered it quite well. So like I'm goin to follow up on that..

Been busy I guess it's not like I'm always working just doing stuff. I think that the one thing I lack is to be happy where I am.. I'm not happy. It's not a friendly place in north.. no one speaks english... j'king. ( cause its just international students and GSI living there)

well back to work !!

Hey I'm goin to be goin to mich in a few days... the last in NYC. I'm goin to miss it. the late nite at Anson's and the constant gaming and fun competition... and most of all the friends... I'm sad to be leaving... but also a little edgy about going back.

I'm going to be helping out the food fun and fellowship thing for IVCCF. I'll get my chance to serve and get the chance to get my friends to go. Its goin to be a fun and free get together... Plus I get to sneak in a few drinks and food I might be serving.

I'm still sad about leaving I still haven't done all thing things that I know I was suppose to do this summer... I have little regrets though because I know that there will be other times but I know that it will be harder the next time.

I'm also happy that the summer went better than the way I pictured it... it being me sitting at home watching endles tv and eating all the junk food and not doing anything worthwhile. So i'm glad wasn't such a bum. I thank God for that. For giving the provisions that he has set forth.

Plus there's my weezer bear It's cool.

So a lot of things have been going through my mind... Today I was web surfing and I stumbled upon a weblog by a friend of a friend... It was how he felt about religion and how its all relative... and how there's no real reason for anyone to believe in anything...

I was also confronted by my family about christianity ... my younger cousin is dating a catholic girl and I explained the theories to him about the deity of catholic's and about christian's... then his sister came and asked why am I preaching to him... I wasn't stunned but I didn't pursue a conversation to go on...

then later my dad confronted me about how my church is somewhat transient... and thats true... we don't have a building and we meet at the pastor's house for cell or fellowship... so like its not traditional... so I have to ask why are we so transient... why can't we be in a building that we can use as a central area... but it has nothing to do with what christ sent us to do...not build a physical church but the body of the church which is people.

So it was three times I was confronted about my religion... and three times I wasn't able tell the details and explain the 'truth' my religion, my reason to go on... it's sad to say that I know a lot of unsaved people... and I also know now...that they don't want to be saved... they want to live out the remaining life in a godless life... I can understand they don't need any God to help them live their life... but the thing is that they don't realize that its a reoccuring curse that has blocked the emphasis of God and how he has given us a free pass to the greatest place, heaven... I can say that I too was a critic I never felt that anything would be my helper... not anything non physical... because I felt that anything like that would bring me down... it would just cause more trouble in my life... and all I cared about was just how it would satisfy me and how it could carry on a legacy of how great I am... thats what any non christian would feel like... all that was selfish and not truely giving... there was no selfless act... none... any if anyone says that I'm a good person and I've done nothing but selfless acts... I would be proud to say that you are a great person but still in need of God because its not just you its friends your family and the people you know... if you care about your family and friends...why don't you save them and yourself by asking God to do just that... so that your love for them can be eternal... because if I didn't care so much to ask... I couldn't be a selfless person a person that cares and does all these things as a selfless act...because everything I do is for Jesus and it wasn't my doing to fill this page up... but the spirit of god within me... So if you do want to be within the spirit of God... just pray and say these words...

Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

So I got to the station to look for Hank but I didn't see him...so I went to the city...bought some comics. and went back home... so the day wasn't bad.. just a lil costly...

I'm just chilling at home now a days... I gotta be more productive. Become an active member of society... not a slacker... The problem is that I don't have the urge to go any where... I wanted to take pictures and buy the stuff I need for the apt. but nothing has happened... nothing... but the thing is that I have grown acustom to staying at home and not being productive... so someone spend some time with me... I'm not doing anything now.

Another thing is that from now on I will post a secret message in my weblog... to those who figure it out..congrats... and to those who can't keep trying...

Just keeping it real...

well... I'm sorry to all those people who wanted to read my xanga... I've been busy...so that I have more to say in this entry. So since this week begun... I've been doin something. First I was doin a bible study and then I went to buy some film to start my new adventure... I'm apprenticing for a photographer... so i'm goin to learn the art of photography and maybe to make some money in the process. I started on friday and the place was in Long Island. So I had to wake up a little earlier than 12...(lazy) So when I got there i hada crash course in photography...and 30 minutes later i had to take a studio picture for this guy... he said that he need a portrait photo by tomorrow... usually this is never done... cause its just too soon. but we made an exception because I was taking the photos... yeah so i had to suddenly pick up a 15 pound camera and focus it and had to make it nice... after less than 30 minutes of training... anyway the guy walks in and then my mentor said 'This is my assistant he's goin to be taking the pictures.' This guy's face must have dropped like a million miles down... and was worried... he came in happy and ready to be photographed and came out worried and scared and needed a tissue to wipe the cold sweat... I'm so sorry about that... it wasn't my fault... well I got lucky and took a decent photo of him..so we use that. He paid for professional quality and got the chi quality... I would have been like is this guy going screw up my picture?... well I didn't ...whew!!.. Another thing I did was to fix my friend's film... the other developer didn't do a good job and it was just terrible... any way I had to fix the problem... in the end i only managed to clear it and not totally fix it. So I got to ask my friend if he wants to do this... or complain to the original developer to fix it... I found the problem... the fixer wasn't properly used. so thats it... plus I'm still sick in the tummy and I cant eat too many things... and I beat jonathan at chess on wednesday... I'm getting good... I'll show the photo to people who want to see it...god bless..

Hey hey... I beat two old people at chess... thats neat... I'm getting better... I see strategies. One bad thing is that I ate this horrible tasting chocolate... it was this chewy stuff and raisons(I think) and that red cinnamon flavoring thats used for Bed Red. That was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. Wow it's horrifying... I can still imagine the taste... sorta like bug spray with something... I can't describe. Just to say I didn't like it...

So Paul will be coming to New York to play... his concert is tommorow... it will be cool...

Yeah...so I was sick today... it might have been the tangy yogurt I had at twelve or the old gummi candy I had lying around... might have also have been the food from the restuarant... I had weird chicken... weird.

I got my panda bear from the weezer concert. yeah I'll put a picture of it someday when I get my web cam back. It's SWEET!!

So today I finally saw Minority Report. It was a good movie, but I'm not one of those guys that look into movies to find the total intricacies of the story...thats probably why I'm not a english major.

Well today my focus is going to be on Fiona... because I feel like it... So like I havent seen this girl in like soo long ...literally not seen her... but we have talked online... now its my quest to find her xanga...

I found it just now... I'm not going to reveal it because it took me a long time for her to give it to me. Well I think that she is a godly person... and I don't think that her web log is boring I find it very appealing. Her likes and dislikes...her friends are described with soo much fun... plus it looks like a grapefruit.

Add on now... a lil weezer promo...the muppets w/ WEEZER http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/interscope/weezer/maladroit/keepfishin/video/00_keepfishin.asx
