Since the last one, I've been pretty busy of late. But, I'm real excited on how summer's turning out right now, for the most part. Current items in process...

1.) Stay away from Kim, don't even pick up the phone or answer any private numbers because it's hers...
2.) Must talk with Shekinah...

I'm tramatized everytime I hear a distinct ring tone on my phone whenever there's a private number. There's something that Shekinah's wanting to talk with me about but we must go somewhere in order to do so. Also, there's something I have to talk with her about and for a lot of other people to. So, I'm hoping that we can get into touch sometime later hopefully I can plan out something fun to do.

Primarily it's been my late night summer school classes, trainning at Vector, and some chores that I've been preoccupied lately. First night of summer school was pretty funny. My sister and I sat down and in Political Science I took a look around and saw that Jenni Brennan sat behind me. I haven't seen her since the day I graduated. But half an hour into the class, he stares at me and I stare at him and we could tell what was on our minds. Him, "it's the Asian." Me, "it's the Mexican." Yep, Cisco's in my Political Science class. So, it's pretty fun to know some people there. And our professor is from Cal Poly as well, which surprised me, but it'll make the class a little more difficult. Also, we had to read all this week over 80 pages of material and getting through one page is pretty hard to digest...I'm talking with someone, write later...

jtf431: what's up?
Starfox0064x: because I didn't find the right people, I got subjected to hang out with Kim
Starfox0064x: and it was not good...

What happened? Post later...

People thought I graduated yesterday, haha! First off, congrats to everyone that graduated in high school and in college wherever you may be. A fresh new start and life awaits you, be proud of everything you've accomplished.

Since Lladira told a lot of us to go to her graduation, so we gave a lot of things that probably only us could provide. Although in the end, we didn't really deploy much, still Thursday was a glorious day. It began at 3 pm where Willy and I were going to all department stores and arts and crafts stores and tried to find big ass banners and silly strings and other stuff for the graduates. Silly strings and all the party poppers weren't hard to get from Walmart, but we ran into trouble with the banners. We were searching for a Michael's or any art store around town, and found most of the old stores have long since closed down. So, we tried the Target in Ventura and found no luck there and eventually we called Cindy for help or if she had supplies that we needed as well. But, she gave us a tip that Michael's was next to the relocated Barnes and Nobles in Ventura, so fortunately it was a short trip to there rather than going all the way to Camarillo. We had to be economical on everything because we didn't know if everything would go smoothly for Friday. In the end, we got this big sketch paper and paint with brushes and we headed for Cindy's house. We didn't really know what to do to make posters with the material we had but somehow we were all on the same page and we produced and painted. Probably I couldn't believe that at one day Cindy, Willy, and I would just join together and just do something that we didn't really need to. But, we did and I guess I'm just so happy that I had friends like them. Eventually Cisco and Brian came over and Cindy's mom was about to charge $10 bucks for anyone that came over. Derrick came over as well, so by the rate people were coming over to Cindy's house, we could have thrown a party. But, they helped out with the signs and we were planning what to do that night. So, I made a suggestion that we go for Billards Arcades and boba and we all went there and shot pool and drank probably one of the more addicting cookies n' cream boba that I've ever had. At the end of pool, we decided to go to the Pacific View mall to go to the top of roof. Derrick, probably didn't want to spend more gas then he already had, decides to ride in the back trunk of my truck. Man, I was just really concerned that an officer would pull me over and too much trouble would go down if it happened. And going to Pacific View mall requires to eventually go on the freeway. So, we went down Victoria at 65, and I went 80 on the freeway before exiting the Main Street in Ventura with Derrick in the back trunk. He said the ride was smoother on the freeway then on the in-roads. We got to the Ventura mall and the fountains were still operating, so we were playing in that for a while...I can't believe that we did that. A couple of us got blasted by the fountains when we tried to escape the ring. Eventually, the fountains turned off and the mall was closing down. So we found a door that was opened and went in the employee areas and went around until we got to a door leading to the roof top. The night was really cloudy so there wasn't really anything spectacular about the roof top. Cisco said that the time that they went it was a full moon, clear night. So, if we ever hit one of those nights, we got to go there again. Afterwards, we headed back with Derrick in the trunk and we came back to Cindy's house and finished up the signs that lasted until 1 am, about 13 hours before graduation.

Headed home...slept...

Graduation, it was all their day, I was just there in support. Again congrats to everyone, you'll love the life afterwards...

I never felt so scared and anxious when I saw Kira again. I didn't know how she felt about me. But, we did exchage a few words. I felt happy that it was alright to talk to her.

There's a lot of things that I wanted to talk about in this entry, but I'm just not in the right state of mind with everything happening. I might provide what's going on later on, maybe.

Nothing like vacation...first must shout out to Jason for turning 19 today! They're sometimes that I wish that we were in Poly still so we could go to Chumash and maybe you can win like $500 dollars or something. Something about birthdays gives you luck as Cisco says. Oh well, hopefully your enjoying your day!

I haven't really been totally productive. But I've done enough to get my summer going. Except for the job thing that I experienced today. Fuck you Robinson's May! Dammit! They gave away my hours to a full time person. Argh! Oh well, I have to search again. But, I do got college classes next week. Mondays through Thursdays from 6-10 pm. Great. So, not available at those hours until probably 10 in the morning, that's if I didn't stay up late. Anyway, I really need a weekend job. I'd be broke for the things planned this summer. I think I got to go over to try out other things.

The day I got back from Poly last Saturday was pretty eventful, for I only got about 3 hours total of sleep. Began with midnight when Saturday was just born. Unfortunately, I had to stay at Poly for my final final. Afterwards, nobody was really on campus other than ones that needed to fly home and stayed like me because of either work or finals. So, we kind of celebrated at the main lounge area playing ping-pong and pool and ordering pizza from Woodstocks. So, we chilled and I headed back to my room to begin packing up my stuff. I forgot about Justin for he needed a place to crash for the night and he didn't have his dorm room anymore and all of his stuff was in his car waiting to be unloaded at Mustang Village. So, he comes knocking on my door and since I forgot that he mentioned that he needed a place to stay, I was like, where was he after work and all that. I felt bad, but he was alright with it. So, we just chatted about a lot of things, I played my music on my computer while packing up my stuff, and we were talking about my first day in this dorm where I barely unloaded all of my stuff and how we were playing cards, everyone was sitting on lying on our beds. Crazy. I'm going to miss 318 Muir.

I got done packing at 4 in the morning and I needed to get up at 8. However, some bug bit my foot and it stung and I went to the bathroom to ice up the swelling. But, the bite irritated me for another hour and eventually I was able to fall asleep. So, wasn't long until 8 am came and Justin and I were just drowsy, wanted more sleep, but when it's self inflicted you can't blame anyone else. Jason calls me and asks if I needed help packing. I really needed someone to hall out my fridge and stuff. And, I didn't have anymore meal plans and most of my food storage in my room have been long been eaten, I asked if he had any food lying around. He got the beef jerky, yes! It was Cindy's gift to him as well, which makes this next part funny yet I felt bad that it happened. So I got my stuff outside and I'm ready to hall it to my dad's truck and we would vacuum up the room, and clean whether's dirty and that'll be it. My dad comes in later than 9 am. He got there and he was rushing us to get the stuff in the car and hurry home. Anything that was left behind in the room he bagged it up and took it in a box. He took Jason's beef jerky...and I don't think Jason remembers bringing his beef jerky. So when I got home, we were all unpacking my stuff and my mom says, "where did you get this beef jerky from?" I remembered what Jason told me about how he got the beef jerky, and I felt bad that we took it. Cindy loves the beef jerky made in Ventura, so one of her packages inadvertently came to me. I'm sorry Jason. And, I ate all of it already. It was good...

We're still on Saturday, so I spent the rest of the afternoon just organizing my room. And, pretty much, I liked how all my stuff got placed in my room. I'm actually organized! Maybe it came from living with Milton. I got a little bit more anal about having less entropy in the room. And, my bike's back in Oxnard...ah yeah, it was one bike ride around Oxnard in me. I thought I lost it, but I made it to Cindy's house and just spent kind of the night there just talking with her and her sister and brother, playing MLB Home Run Derby with my brother, watching adult swim on Cartoon Network. It's probably until 10:30 pm when I finally left because I was worried that my parents locked me out and it would be some trouble. Luckily, I rode back to find that they left the back door opened.

I'm still trying to remember what happened on Sunday...did I do nothing at all? Maybe that's the reason, I did nothing at all!

I guess we can go to Monday. Went to VC to get my account back, went to The Pacific View mall to job search. I thought I landed one with Robinson May but you know what happened from above. Afterwards, I went to Oxnard High School after their school was over and ran into Christy and Shekinah was there out practicing with the squad. She told me that she had finals this week so I wasn't going to disturb her much this week for she needs time for herself. But I stuck around and they were teaching the incoming drillers moves and pretty soon, I was kind of getting the dance routine in my head. But I forgot already. But at least I got that angle of one of the dance moves from watching Shekinah...being productive!

Tuesday was somewhat a special day. I haven't hanged out with my sister in quite a while because she's always going out. So, she saw my BB gun (the same one that I had with Lladira in that picture on Halloween) and her friend had a similar gun that they were target practicing. So we ste up a target in front of a cardboard box and shoot with my gun. I learned where to aim with my gun in order to get the target with precision. Cisco calls me up during the shootout and we all went to play pool. Miraculously, Cindy was there. She never goes out with us this late. I don't know how Cisco did it! Maybe Chow was in the car as well. Maybe. Not only this night, but Wednesday night as well where I only caught the last ten minutes of bowling. I was watching the Lakers game. Damn the Lakers! It's all about unity dammit! Unity! But, two consecutive nights Cindy has gone out with us? Man, where has the world gone? Afterwards the gang of Willy, Cisco, Brian, Cindy, Marcos, and I went to the roundtable at Toppers and it was just a blast with stories and just good times pizza Metal Slug 2 old school.

Earlier in the day, I bike rode to Lladira's house. I haven't seen or heard from her in such a long time, but visiting her. We caught up on a lot of things and she's just the awesomest. Hopefully we're not to busy during the summer, man if she's going where she's going, and I'm going where I'm going, then we don't need to waste time.

Wednesday was a more of a bummer day for me, I feel like crap right now.

Upcoming things:
Thursday, I'll be around just getting stuff and stuff and more stuff.

Friday I'm all for going to the graduations first at Oxnard then at Pacifica at 6 pm. Lladira demanded me to go, so I'm trying my damdest to get a massive cheering section going. Pacifica for my cousin's graduation at 6 pm.

Future items:
Must get BBQ and bonfire on beach going.
Movies with friends.
Get 14 people at the round table at Toppers.
Chumash experience #2.
BB gun dual with the Chow. (?)
Tennis match with Cisco. (?)
Cindy house mayhem. (?)
Super speedway racing on freeway with Cisco. (?)
Something involving Shekinah. (?)
Something involving Lladira. (?)
List continues...

Now where was I? So it began with a luncheon with Isaru, Willy, and Cisco at lighthouse and going downtown to watch a movie. Willy up at 11 am is an amazing sight. But, he did an all nighter. Willy and I saw Shrek 2. Too damn funny, you have to see it if you haven't already. We came back and later on we would go bowling. Man, I was off at bowling, either my form or just not having that lucky ball. But, afterwards we went to Taco Bell and just stayed there for hours talking about high school stories and other stuff. Great night...

Today I missed lunch with the gang and it was pretty much a lazy time until tonight. Shekinah IMed me saying I could call her at 8:30. When I headed out of Muir and looked at my clocked and it was 8:30 I reached for my pocket to find my cell phone. But, it wasn't in any pocket. So I had to run up three flights of stairs to get back into my room and come back down to meet Cisco outside. I called her and I talked with her all the way to the Sierra Madre dorms. There Cisco went back inside and I talked to Shekinah outside. I looked at the stars and there weren't many out there. But the one brightest one that shone that night I gave that to her. So we continued talking and Cisco finally got out of the room and laughed at the fact that he was in his room for a while and still found me out here still talking. Isaru, Cisco, and I decided to go to the UU to either go bowling or play pool. However, it was closed. I bought a cappoucino (I'm off with spelling today) and realized that I can never get addicted to coffee of any product. We jetted off downtown just to kind of look at where people go downtown and discover that not of lot of restaurants are open at late night hours but bars and dance bars. We headed back and decided to visit Cindy's dorm. Fun times...

Must sleep, got work tomorrow and other stuff to do...

Sunday, June 06, 2004

So, Cisco tells me of the story he had at work last Friday about this one guy that didn't work for the avenue and just hangout there for several hours alone. Eventually he approaches Cisco and his friends and ask them what do people do on a Friday night. Naturally, hang out with friends, go somewhere with them, parties, whatever. But, his problem was that he didn't have friends and wanted to know how to make them. That's a little complicated, because there are a variety of ways to establish them. But, one suggestion was just to talk to people. And so he did, he talked to the girl Sarah at the cash register. But, things weren't really looking to good and Armando came over to talk to Sarah and outloud he said outload so the other guy could hear, "Is this guy annoying you?" and Sarah nodded. The other guy's response was, "Ok, I'm going to run my car into a pole now." So, pretty much if he did, we might get a report in the newspaper about that kid running into the pole, so we're waiting until Monday to see the newspaper if anyone died. It's going to be freaky...

So later on that night, after playing Billiards, somehow Cisco, Jason, and I went to meet up with Isarou (I'm sorry Cindy if I misspelled his name once again) and we were contemplating on whether to go the the Gentleman's Club in Santa Maria or Chumash Casino. We had time to contemplate over it at In N'Out where we also talked to the workers on what was the highest stacked burger that they made. You can order any size burger, whether it be 3 x 3 or 9 x 9, as long as you're able to pay for it, they will make it. That In N'Out store did do a 27 x 27 I think one time at a price around $40 dollars. So, one of these days, we'll try to get enough people to donate 2 dollars and see what kind of size we can get. Eventually, we decided that since we didn't know where the Gentleman's Club was, we went to Chumash instead. Oh yeah, Shekinah reads this...

Anyway, on to Chumash Casino where I was just going to lose 10 bucks for the night and that'll be it for me. Ah man, I totally blew 5 bucks on the 1$ machines. I got to the 10 cent ones and started playing it to use up the 5 dollars left. So after three spins, the slot came up with 4 wilds and one 7, and it gave me 300 credits, each 10 cents in a total of $30. Shit! I couldn't believe that I just stuck 5$ in the machine and it spat out $33.00. Overall, that night I came out with 20 dollars in my pocket, a net gain of $10. More later, must go to eat dinner now...next coming up is what I did Saturday and how today's been...must call Shekinah at 8:30...

Thursday, June 03, 2004

Alright, my first real entry in a while. I don't really know how to begin it. I've just been busy with school and stuff. Last Thursday was killer with doing a 8 minute speech along with a Chem midterm. I knew after that Thursday, it would be a good weekend being Memorial Day and all. Indy 500 and Coke 600 on TV, just catch up on sleep that I've been deprived of from Wednesday. This weekend had plenty of birthdays. Have to shout out to Josh for turning 19 last Saturday. I'm sorry that I couldn't go to your party. Hopefully I can chat with you sometime. Also, Saturday I went to Shekinah's birthday. Although I stayed briefly, Twister, cake fight, and others, that was fun. Shekinah still looked cute with cake all over her...My parents took me out later on that night and I didn't get back until Cisco called me late night saying he was at Cindy's. So, I headed over to Cindy's house and Cisco and Brian were there as well. I missed watching Cindy's friends and the people I knew in high school and junior high when they were just nine. Afterwards, Cisco, Brian, Derrick, Javier, and I went to Toppers Pizza and sat at the round table just catching up on things. Our goal later on: to get as many people at the round table as possible.
Sunday, just chilled at my house. Parents got steak and lobster for dinner and the celebratory cheesecake to ring in my 19th birthday early. Indy 500 to Coke 600, steak and lobster, cheesecake...can't ask for more.
I don't know. I totally forgot things that happen. Last night I went to Cindy and Meghan's room to hang out. Man, the stuff said there...just had to be there. Alright, this one is to Cindy, I've been thinking about what we discussed, and here's my theory...

Generally, males show off more in nature in many species of animals in order to find females. I think in humans, they follow the same pattern. We mentioned that females wear less clothes and that's attractive and males wear more clothes and they can be still attractive. If the psychology that women prefer men with more femine characteristics, then maybe the clothes, hair, eyes are the distinguishing factors that determine one's overall match with certain females. I was thinking distincting clothing and style of hair could indicate levels of wealth, clan affiliation, resposibility, you can think of others. I don't know, what do you think?

cuddle and a kiss
cuddle and a kiss on the forehead - you like to be
close to your special someone and feel warm,
comfortable, and needed
