Louise's, Man thongs, and candy apples....
Yep things like that tend to happen when Alyssa and me team up for a random night, a random night indeed, lol. So whatchu doing Friday? Well after a bitch of a day, argument at work not even worth mentioning but I ddid so that's contradicting but hey back on topic, fufilling other people's job description not mine is no reason to be bitter I mean I aint got shit to do I dont have enough shit that it's okay to throw a bit of your shit pile on to my growing grass, get it together people! Okay maybe that's a bit harsh and even bitchy but it gets old quick, we're all responsible for our job(s) we're all adults (ooh scary.......) But yeah its frustration talking anyway, so Aly comes over and we head off. Forgetting all the drama and ish good times were to be had. So we pick a random freeway and head over to Pasadena, get off at a random exit , turn on the second street, not the first one mind you but good call 'lys, we're driving down the street looking for a random place to eat and an ATM. Then the next mission wa to find parking, so what if we took a Kaiser Permanente person's parking spot I doubt that they needed it lol. So we're walking and we find an ATM outside the movie theater there but it's all picky and shit and so we move on to find Wells Fargo is a little ways away. We keep walking, Im so hungry I didnt eat anything the whole day and we walk by Cheesecake Factoy , point was to try something new and there on the corner there's a place called Louise's Trattoria. Random enough we go in and sit down and wait for a table. The manhost is screaming gay which is funny and then this is where sometimes I shouldnt be that observant but you could totally tell he was weraing a manthong , not content with this new found fact I had the need to share with Aly, not only were we starving but now we couldnt stop staring at this dude's posterior. Talk about a bit of torture the waiters kept going by us with food, not funny. We finally got a table ( only about a 10-15 min wait) and warm bread was waiting , which was good with olive oil and Balsamic. I love outings like this but for a minute I was reminded how old we really are sometimes I forget. Food was good , Broccoli ravioli was delish and Aly's chicken looked good---what do you say Aly? Anywho we spent a good couple hours there talkin. When we left we decided that it had been a good call goin there and on our way back to the car we saw a bunch of different dipped apples and the coveted snickers apple, we went inside and I got a normal one for my mom ( you dont undrstand she turns into a little kid when she had one ) bad store to go into theres so much chocolate and candy you could take out a small loan to buy all that your eyes are telling your head and stomach you want. Anyway had a super time, it never feels like I Aly enough and I love our talks. Hope to do it again soon .....

So your Drinking....
So we went to the Elephant Bar and Grill for Hiromi's birthday dinner. We're on this let's try new places trip and so we usually stay somewhere iin the Northridge or Canoga are that well Burbank was a change. And super bonus was that this time I didnt have to stress on picking the spot Alys' took care of that. Anyway so I pick up brissa and meet up at Hiromi's house. We all get together there and then drive over to the restaurant. I needed gas so we stopped on the way to the freeway and then as we were heading off to the freeway entrance I sort of cut off a truck driver and kinda forced Marc to ( who was following me) , we heard this truck screeching and horn honked, did your life flash before your eyes marc? lol sorry about that. Justina, Agnes, Avani, and Justina's Boyfriend, and Roxy's brother met up with us there. Well we were a bit short on the seating but we all squeezed in and we all had a good time. Something about eating under the tree and over the tree happened as Brissa explains in her blog. Anyway Hiromi has her first legal drink ( although they got a bit generous with the alcohol for her) and we all laughed and I'd say had a good time. After we left the restaurant as tradition would have it we stood around in the parking lot for a good half hour or so trying to decide what to do next. We didnt come up with anything so I drove the girls back to Hiromi's and Brissa home. Overall good times hope you had fun Hiromi!

Happy Birthday 'Romi
Yeah things have gotten a bit crazy and maybe the overwelming feeling I have is a lil my fault okay okay maybe my fault but yeah just gotta deal with it, right right........But Anyway this one is for you 'Romi " Have a wonderful Happy Birthday
and may you be blessed with many more. BUt on the real I still cant imagine you driving, walking is hard enough , nah Im just playing. I think a blog entry would go one for days to describe everytime you tripped, stumbled randomly fell out of your desk , off the stool and yep the list still goes on. But mostly all these funny memories you've filled our lives with one of the things that stands out the most, it was one day in math class , yep Sgt. Overton, I wasnt doing well and it was like most things that I kept to myself you sensed something through that half smile I carried and it's amazing what a few words can do. I keep them to this day, so for that and you I am thankful. Happy Birthday yet again much luv to you always.

Happy Valentine's Day....I'm still seeing stars
OKay after forever of trying to get tickets tot he NBA all star game I got tickets to the next best thing and perhaps even better. I got tickets to the practice, granted that I did have to take the day off of work and that they did get a lil' pricey it was worth every penny, I can die now happy but more on that to come. So anyway last night I couldnt sleep the whole day I had been up getting things ready for it. I went bought the tape for the camcorder, film for the camera, batteries, shoes, making sure about a hundred times that I had the tickets. But anyway I couldnt sleep I was so excited but finally somewhere around 2 in the morning I forced myself to sleep only to get up at 4:50 am (yeah I set my alarm, actually 2 of them just in case) even though the actual practice didnt start until 10:30 in the morning but you know I had to blow dry my hair and do my make up cause you never know and I mean you never know. So yeah my brother and I left near 7 in morning. I think I was a bit too excited cause I got us there in 25 min with light traffic lol. Any way we got there in time to get parking inside the Convention Center at only $10 compare to the other parking options that were $20+. So we started off well, got there early, got great parking and we decided to go stand at the door instead of waiting a bit longer in the car. MIstakes made though: Decided jackets would get in the way do we froze a bit and I dont know how I justified to myself not to bring anything to get signed considering I have 6 brand new basketballs in their cases and jerseys who knows but I made up for it later. So we waited in line and finally they let us in at 9:30 after an extensive security procedure that was knocking close to feeling violated. Anyway our tickets also included a full day of Jam Session the interactive NBA theme park per say ( Do you think they had me in mind whenthey came up with this one?) The first thing that we did was visit the NBA store and got a couple of balls t-shirts pens pennants, maybe a bit overboard but not really last time the Allstar game was in L.A was 20 years ago.BUt yeah we saw Shaq taking on some people that by all means are way taller than me but who really isnt taller than me? And we took pictures but mostly we were more concerned with getting Sharpie's ready and camera/ camcorder combinations all set. Finally they let us into canter court itself and we got our seats and then Marc Jackson (not an all star but still a NBA player) is on the side lines oh I forgot to mention the best thing the tickets I got were 4 rows from the floor on the aisle perfect for getting autographs. Anyway Marc Jackson was the first to sign my ball and he was really nice about it too. Then here goes ( this one is for you 'lys) I saw Will Smith who was cracking jokes and was cute as a button( hey lys' remember it's not gonna last...lol). Anyway I have to admit Shaq is a pretty nice guy , and yeah I even got his autograph, the funny thing is that my hands look like a little kid's next to his. And now more fuel to my dislike of Kobe Bryant, bottom line he's a prick, and dont flatter yourself thinking I paid a penny to see you, bitter yes , mostly because the little kids that actually wanted to see his jackass didnt even get a sideways glance, no autographs, not even a wave, nothing. Talk about acting guilty (whether he's guilty or not isnt the issue). Anyway 'nuff about him blah. Oh and I guess he and Sam Cassell sat on the same sandpapered toilet becuz he was right alongside Kobe with the prick thing. So yeah anyway here goes my moment of moments I actually met Allen Iverson, and yes he touched my hand and smiled, yep Im good now, I can die ..lol.... oh if that wasnt enough I saw Nelly as well, I mean talk about a big ass bonus and candy apple koolaid style smile. yep I could stop here really I could. But then other highlights were that I got introduced to Paul Pierce and Kenyon Martin. I got autographs from them and Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan, Brad Miller, Dirk Nowitzki, oh and I saw Steve Francis strip lol he gave away his stuff he kept his short though keeping it pg rated per say. LOl. And yes Yao Mimg is a BIG man I mean as if I dont feel short enough that was ridiculous. I had so much fun there were so many things I saw Redman and Methodman perform although I missed glenn lewis. I saw bow wow and that kid needs some growwth pills or something he's on the short side, maybe he as a box to stand on or they get really short girls in his video. I saw Big Boy Fuzzy and Liz. There's so much to say but that'll be the "short" version of it. Oh and little ass me dunked, yep, I dunked, lol. So yeah I saw my men sihg Happy Valentine's day.........

Dude, where's your car? No, really where is it?
Well I was about to call it a night and not do anything which is more than enough wvidence that I have no life or very little besides working and school, nice huh? Anyway, after a few calls I went to pick up Briss' which I havent seen in long ...time. Actually it worked out super because I was really in the mood to talk so yeah higgh five bris'! I had a lot of fun and on the for really bris' between ketchup and ranch I think your leaning more into ranch, sorry if I gave you ish to think about lol oh wait I dont think there should be a laugh there. Anyway we had a long walk and some coffee at citywalk which I havent been at in foreva. I saw two people from past classes, one that I really liked his clothes but it ends there and the other was the guy from my geology class last semester who is on the basketball team. I saw him twice and I failed to point him out in time so bris' could see him, that would of been helpful right? yep Im a dork but you know what it's about only one more month til my birthday and then I can finally participate lol. So when we leave all we remember was that I parked in the third floor, it took us about a good 10-15 minutes to look for my car, yep I was starting to get a bit worried ( Note to self: remember where you park , look, write it down, take a picture, do something, c'mon really, no , really). Finally found it and I met my car with a big hug ( dont I look proper hugging cars) and then I take Bris' home and on the way a ghetto bird was shining its spotlight and I drove in it and it was cool and yeah , highlights worth mentioning, right? Brissa just laughed. Anyway my night class last night is okay I think I mentioned before that I have the same professor and that it has a 48 percent failure rate so cross your fingers for me will ya? Actually I didnt realize that it is a real long time for a one a week class and at night, of all thing but I guess I gotta prioritize my time and I'll be ok. But yeah Im so wide awake and it sucks ass because I know damn right that I have to go to work and that I probably should be sleeping, ay why am I such a crackheaded child? Anyway works been tiring my back is sore just a smidge.But before I call it a night per say, I send a round of high fives to everyone,(insert high five here). Im a dork lol.

Give me a couple weeks...
Well I started classes yesterday, yep. From the looks of it I think that my economics classes are gonna kick my ass all semester. Right off the bat the professor told us that there is a 48 percent failure rate...nice... and to make things spiffy Im taking two. For a brief second I thought about dropping them well I havent been to my MicroEconomics class yet but I have the same professor. Anyway It's a challenge that I'll benefit from. Im trying to be optimistic here so I gotta stay on top of things. Anyway I havent talked to anyone new and I think everyone is just there for class and that's it but we'll see how that goes. And with all this I even started considering taking that sociology class that Roxanne is taking. So yeah... Actually speaking of school I saw Cheli for the first time since december and we hung out during my reak on Monday. I saw Hiromi walking but then she wasnt lookin gup and I was on my way to park and she must of been one her way to class. Today Im not sure Artur saw me but he was behind me for a bit until I wove around the car in front of me to beat the red light. I feel sad thought that there isnt as much time with my firends. We can go for awhile before anybody calls anybody and sometimes I fear that we may grow apart, it's sounding a it dramatic but with some people more so than others but I still miss the old days. But at least there's still effort there to see each other. Anyway we'll see how life turns out but yeah give me a couple of weeks cause Im not the straight thinking person I should be lol wait I never am....There's still my night class to report on and any other random ish that happens alond the way.
