It seems that in my effort over the summer to be able to organize myself to be able to write so many different blogs that I lost myself in a world of both reverie and life.

Simply put: I think real life has officially taken over my life and now I have no time in terms of being able to actually update this. It's quite surprising when I think about it, because all those years ago when I had just plenty of time to update whoever reads this (the few of you who do now-a-days), I don't have time anymore. It's a mystery to me to be honest with you, and I imagine that it'll be something that I won't figure out anytime soon.

In terms of real life, I've done a lot. Summer classes, work, Circle K, and everything else involved in the world. People are leaving for college, and I'm still here. It's a world where I find this to be an interesting part of my life, one where I just don't want to remember it other than in my mind. Whatever I'm thinking, I hope it's something I remember.

Xanga, I hardly knew ye.

Thinking back on it, it's been so long since the first day I started typing in this Xanga. I still remember the old times I would update this on a daily basis (simply because my day-to-day life was just really boring and I had nothing else to do but chronicalize my every fucking day), never once looking back about thinking what I wrote. Then there was a time when I became lazy and didn't update this at all, but when something interesting happened I naturally forgot to update it.

Then I reached a middle ground. I would update every once in awhile... not only would it be something interesting, but people would actually READ the damn thing. I thought it was amazing... people actually wanted to read about my boring mundane life.

Now we've reached a point where I don't update this anymore; my day-to-day occurence doesn't seem to work. I feel as though I don't have the time to update and when I do... I'm either too tired, too lazy, or I just have something to do.

Now the question begins... do I give up on this quest, or not? Do I stop on what I've worked so long on?

... questions, questions...

Nobody seems to read these anymore, so I don't see why to actually update it.

Yet I still continue to, so I guess it happens. I'll update this eventually, we'll see what happens. >.>

Yay! Ran into Nicole today! Haven't seen her in forever! Still owe her the multiple "Asian Care Packages" that I will one day send!

Oh yeah, I have a lot of work to do. >.>

Right now it's officially midnight, and by the time I finish this post it'll probably be a good 10 minutes later, who knows? All I know is that right now, at this time, it's Saturday morning, my senses are shot, and the first week of Summer classes is finally over.

Seeing as how I haven't done an actual blog post in awhile (I use this account more like a twitter account in all reality, just posting stupid things that happen to amuse me), so I think I really should start typing about something.

Spring Semester went by so fast, it was amazing. A lot of crazy stuff happened, the most important thing being that I have a girlfriend now. It's amazing, since a lot of people never could imagine this happening (Danielle pointed this fact to me early in my life, only recently revealing it to me). Other than that, nothing much has changed in my life. Went to classes, partied my ass off at night, went to work... did some homework, you know... the usual.

Now summer has rolled around, and I'm... still doing the exact same thing. Wow, this really does kind of suck. Alright, well I'm going to go do something to amuse my time, hopefully all you guys out there are doing something better than reading this, yenno? ahaha.

Until next time guys. ^^-b

Today was a funny day... My girlfriend got asked out by the "wannabe player."

Yes, I kid you not. This guy sucks at "text-flirting"... he really needs to learn. It was however, a brilliant source of amusement for me.

Vi's just too nice.

Currently chilling in the Student Union, wondering about life.

Alright, so I'm not really wondering about life more than just staying here waiting for this week to be over. I'm quite annoyed that I have to stay in a classroom until 6pm tonight 'trying' to finish a project that I quite frankly don't want to finish (though I have to, so meh).

That's besides the point, because it 'is' study week this week, I'm currently listening to a lecture that I recorded with my laptop and that am now listening to hoping to remember whatever it is that I'm supposed to be studying and what not.

Maybe I'll actually update this when the time comes, right? ahahaha.

Spring Break is upon us... at least here in Las Vegas anyway. From what I hear, everybody else already had their Spring Break, which begs the question of 'why the hell is ours so late?', or at least something to that retrospect.

That is besides the point of this post, because I think I'll finally do what I've been promising that I would do, which is make a ridiculously long post about virtually everything that's happened lately, something to that effect.

Circle K District Convention 2009 in Woodland Hills, CA
This needs no explanation, it was just simply awesome. I actually wrote any article about it, and I'm pretty much just going to transcribe it onto here (I am a lazy person after all... >.>):

DCON was simply amazing, but I forgot sheep!!!

I’m kind of depressing that I forgot about sheep, but that’s a story for another time. DCON was just three days of pure awesomeness. What other way is there to describe about it? ******* ******* was perhaps the funniest thing in the world, and I personally can’t wait for could happen next, but what are the highlights of DCON?

Well, I’m more of a list kind of person, so we’ll go with a list:

- The drive there.

- The Party Van / M.A.V.

- Yelling our heads off.

- Battle Axe!!! ^^-b

- UC? RRRRRRRRRrrrrRRRRR!!!!!

- Lisa Bao, Andi, Shawn, Steven, just to name a few...

- 1st General Session.

- Chris Plasterer.

- U N L V PAPARAZZI FLASH FLASH!!

- The entire Day 2.

- Utilizing Multimedia… ^^-b

- Dinner.

- Awards!!!

- D-ROCK GETS AN AWARD.

- Scrapbook, 3rd Place?!!

- More Battle Axe.

- Dancing?!

- Trying to hit on that one girl from UC Berkeley to help Steven get a date. *insert hand motion here*

- ******* *******

- Seeing Chris’ reaction from UNLV.

- Last General Session.

- Video (and Katie’s dedication to Chris)

- CP’s last speech as Governor.

- The drive home.

- RESIVOIR.

… yeah, that pretty much sums it up. It may not make much sense when you look at it as a list, but that’s just it about DCON. There are some things that people can’t just explain unless you were actually there. Don’t worry, there’s always next year. Until then…

Ps. I STILL FORGOT SHEEP. Bah.

Yep, that's pretty much the gist of it. ^^-b

Street Fighter IV
This needs some explaining. For the past God knows how long, Ben, Anthony, and Vi have pretty much been chilling at my house on Thursday playing Street Fighter IV until the dawn breaks, the birds sing, and we're all tired beyond all known reason. It's become our tradition. Ever since Spring Break, it's become even more crazy in the fact that we just get bored and the first thing that pops into mind is to play some more Street Fighter... not bad, but now sleep schedules are all sorts of f'ed up. ahahaha.

Ok, I'm bored now... I guess we'll end it here, seeing as how I can't really sum it up more.

... well that and I have a sudden urge to go outside. >.>

This is a question that's been bothering me for awhile now, since it questions all moral ethics as well as just plan randomness, but...

Does anybody else think it's weird that my family is placing bets on who my girlfriend is?

Ever since about... 3 days ago, I've come to realize that there's an actual bet on who my girlfriend is (which, I haven't told anybody in my family yet). At first I found it to be pretty funny, since you know... it's my family. I've always talked about how weird and just plain random we are when family reunions or just random meet-ups occur. Then again, both my brother and my mom have come up to me saying they'll split the pot with me if I tell them who it is.

... it's quite scary when I actually think about it. =/ Meh.

Once again, just chilling in my AAD 223 class. We're learning about Adobe Photoshop today, and seeing as how I used to (I say used to because I should really turn in my projects eventually... >.>) use Photoshop a lot, I thought that maybe I wouldn't have to pay attention as much. ^^-b

Of course, right now we're going through the "Marquee & Lasso" tools, so really I don't need to know about these things. Instead I'm typing this up and talking to one of my scanlation bosses. Go figure that I don't really want to pay attention to this class right now, so instead I'm typing this up. It seems that I only have time now-a-days to do that in this class. Maybe one of these days I'll learn something new through this class.

I figure that it's about time I gave another one of my "long" updates, as I have in the past, but at this point I'm not keeping to that anymore (even though I'm trying). We'll figure something out. Till then. ^^-b
