| Haven't used this in a while, but tomorrow this will be updated with a piece of my mind.

| Update!!
So I know I haven't really spent any time on this thing anymore (I'm
just that lazy), but I figured last night was definitely worth
mentioning, and since I also have pictures to show everyone, I figured
this would be a good place to do it.
So first of all, I know this is the laziest way to do it, but I wanted
to thank each and every one of you for your birthday wishes. I'm
actually surprised some of you remembered (thank facebook right?), but
either way I really appreciate the best wishes and hope you're having a
kick ass time wherever you are. So anyway, for those of you who
haven't figured it out, yesterday was my birthday (March 29th), and
yes, I'm officially 21. My mom even called me to remind me of it,
and on top of that, mentioning that I can buy beer now. Ahh yes,
family love. Anyway, though the whole day itself was a snoozer,
because I'm an engineer and all my days are pretty much like that, the
night made up for it.
Patty and Edith (her roomate) came over, surprised me with a birthday cake (ice cream cake! Heck yeah) and a beer.
I mean, how much better does it get, beer in one hand, cake in front of
you, your best bud on your right side, and the hottest darned wife a
man could ask for on my left? So anyway, after Suk tricked us and
we ended up retaking this picture 4 different times because he didn't
actually take the picture "on 3," we finally got to the cake
cutting.
Don't know what face I was going for there, but as buzzed as I was I
was still able to cut it into 8 equal pieces. So alright, the big
thing of the night, came randomly when we decided to play Kings
Cup. For those of you who hadn't heard, a few weekends ago,
Brandon and Jerves came down from Dallas and we played this game for
the first time. And last night, we played it again. For
those of you who haven't played it before, I'll explain it for
you. For those of you who have, you can skip down a bit.
Basically, there are 52 cards in a deck all face down on the table in a
random pile. You take turns drawing a card from the table, and
doing whatever the card tells you to do. So here's the list:
A: Make up a rule - anyone who disobeys the rule has to drink, and last
night the first and primary rule was no cussing, followed by no
pointing, it's amazing how often we pointed...
2: You - Pick someone else to drink
3: Me - You drink
4: Whores - all the girls drink, and this time we actually had girls there, no sausagefest
5: Sky - hands up, whoever was the last person to raise their hand drinks, man was I the slowest last night
6: Dicks - all the guys drink
7: I never - Say something you've never done, and those who've done it
before have to drink, did someone say DP? or SP? <---
inside joke
8: Categories - name a category and we go around in a circle naming things from that category until someone screw up
9: Rhyme time - rhyme words in a circle until someone screws up
10: Waterfall - Everyone keeps drinking until the person on your left stops, luckily my drink at this point was non-alcoholic
J: Thumb master - someone dictates putting the thumb on the table, whoever's the last to do it drinks
Q: Story - Everyone says a word in succession to make up a story.
First person to say something that doesn't make sense drinks. All
I got to say is "THAT!!"
K: King's cup - Ok, so we didn't have a cup last night, so we actually
just used a bowl. But for this, the first three K's drawn means
you have to pour some of your drink into a cup (a bowl in our case) and
the 4th K drawn has to drink the contents. Yeah. I guess I
was the lucky one to draw it. So I drank.
It was only a mixture of vodka, Jack, cranberry juice, water, and
coke. It wasn't gross at all (sarcasm). Ater I drank that,
it made me crazy.
And then Patty decided that was a good time to take pictures with me. Haha...
Honestly, I don't look that messed up, but I guess it's not that hard
to hide it for a few seconds. Anyway, HOW CUTTTTTTEEEEE.
So now that I was pretty much gone and done, we decided to take one
last picture for the night. I had to be helped up by Patty
because I couldn't even stand up straight, how sad.
Classic picture in the making. Anyway, last night was fun, and
I'm glad they came over and the rest of my roomates participated
too. Here are some of the pictures that didn't really fit into
the whole story telling part of my xanga entry. Peace out.
P.S. - U guys remember our cake from last year? =) If not, here it is!

| Well.
So night watch has become my moment to reflect on stuff. Mostly,
because there isn't anyone else here, except for the 3 people in the
lab and the few crazy professors working away in their offices, but for
the most part, I'm just hanging out here by myself. So...
I'm doing alright. A few bumps and scrapes here and there but
overall, I can't really complain.
One thing though. It's true that you can't always get what you
want. Sometimes things just don't work out, and you have to find
a way to accept it and move on. Or is that always the case?
Sometimes I feel like there's something I can do. That it's not
over, and that if I only figured out what it was that I needed to do,
that in the end things would work out. For this case, though,
there's only so much I can do. So for the person who apparently
reads this, this time I'm writing to you. What did I do
wrong? One moment I'm at the top, and the next I'm back at
normal. Normal never sucked so much. You say that you live
your life one day at a time, that you go with the flow, and honestly I
don't see living life any other way. I just think that sometimes
it's necessary to peak into the future so you know the flow you're
going with won't lead you in the wrong direction. Cuz if you
don't, you actually don't really go anywhere at all. You'll
always be stuck in one place, just with a different make-up, because
the world around you changes.
I must've really screwed things up. It doesn't feel like what it
used to be. You don't have to believe anything I've said up to
this point, but you know I wouldn't lie to you. Like you said, I
tried to be perfect, but like I said, I fell short. So, if
there's something you want to say, by all means, step up and say
it. Because if not, it's time to press reset. <---- (Oh yeah,
video game reference)

| If Asians blush, it would be all over my face right now.
So without further ado, I think an apology for what I said previously
should come. So with that, I am so so sorry. I'm idiot and
used poor (or no) judgement. Ugh.
So now, I've learned a lesson. Well, actually I've learned
many. Don't jump to conclusions without knowing the facts, you
owe that to the other person involved. Drama and such based on
ignorance is absolutely not bliss. Look at the situation from all
perspectives, not just your own. What may make sense in your life
may ruin things in someone else's. If it takes every muscle in
your body, you have to make sure you control yourself. It's like
that rule in elementary school where you need to keep your hands, legs,
feet, nose, underwear, and now I'll add feelings to yourself if you're
not prepared to face the consequences. And why the heck do little
things blow up into something huge? Because we make them that
way. We sometimes want things so badly that we make up incredible
stories to get them. And when those stretched out stories don't
come true in the end, what happens? You don't want to know.
It's just sad.
So all in all, I messed up. I'm not perfect, but you know what,
I'm proud of it. It amazes me how sometimes we strive for
perfection, but it's when you screw up that makes you who you
are. And yes, I screwed up. But I've learned a lot.
(I hope at least 50% of that makes any sense)

| I'll be honest, Valentine's Day sucked. Well, ok it wasn't that
bad. I have a poor little rose that never got to serve its
purpose. Poor thing.
Oh yeah, since "you" probably don't read this: That was
low. What exactly did you intend on getting out of suggesting
what you did? Well congratulations, you did it. Now
what? Are you going to go to Disney World and go tell all of your
friends? I'm trying to understand why. What in the world
were you trying to accomplish, and why are you so proud of it? It
makes no sense to me. Do you not get enough attention at
home? Are you really that selfish?
But you know what, I don't care anymore. I give up. You can
have it. Gold medal and everything. I don't want it
anyway. It's not worth any more time and any more effort, because
lets face it, I'm spent and moving on.
