The Moo Point

Eminem’s Relapse came out 2 days ago, sadly I won’t be getting it until I start my job in June. I’m glad to hear the booklet includes lyrics. I think music artists should put lyrics down on their booklets, cos alot of times that will persuade me to buy the album. I love it even more, when they have a little thank you note. Remember it use to be really popular? NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Britney always had one. Anyways… the song Beautiful, I love the beginning sampled clip, but his delivery is really awkward though. I’m sure there will be some great songs and some crappy ones. But I can’t believe he’s 37 years old!! Doesn’t it seem like he was only 28? Everybody has certain songs that they listen to when they’re mad, I love to listen to Kim. That song is amazing, I wish I could see Eminem record that song…

I LOVE DRAKE’S BEST I EVER HAD!! There’s something about his voice that’s really adorable and sincere, espsecially on that verse about the no make up. He’s half black and white, and oddly reminds me of Shane Battier (who my mom was TOTALLY checking out thorughout the series with the Lakers. I’ve started downloading his music already. I’ve also downloaded Dat Kid from Cleveland (Kid Cudi!), BOMBS by Busta Rhymes etc I’m excited! But oddly my iPod is starting to die on me, I’ll play a song, and it simply won’t play it. It’s not surprising…My first iPod gave out, roughly after a year I had it, so my warranty was gone. And this one…well alright a year and 6 months.

Okay sports! The Lakers have to win it all this year. If I was Kobe and I lost to the Cavaliers, I would retire immediately. Just saying. Jerry West’s comments were weird and oddly timed. I think it’s to light a fire under Kobe. Why are the Lakers not playing well? I guess we’re a lazy, unmotivated bunch, because after what happened last year in the Finals… I hope the rest of the team will step up. It’s weird, why was Trevor Ariza unable to stop Carmelo Anthony? Who by the way is looking cuter! Ariza is still one of my favorite Lakers though. It’s weird how one player on a team can chance the entire make up of a team *ahem* Chauncey Billups. I watched Game 1, Cavs vs Magic. Magic are a good team, I think they swept us this year, eep c’mon Lebron! Lebron James is a great player, and I might agree that he might be slightly better than Kobe…he’s taken his team to the FINALS, when he was… 22?! I think? All by himself, impressive. He does have a funny personality, more open than Kobe.

EDIT

Damn we lost. Fuck, we could’ve won this, I’m sick of the team blowing leads!! Anyways it is what it is, if Lakers don’t care enough to play hard, I’m not gonna care that much either. Remember that article by Bill Plaschke after Game 4? Pretty funny stuff. That was a foul by JR though on Ariza towards the end of the play. What’s wrong with Pau? Why is he letting Kenyon Martin (who can I say is a cutie, and I love those tattoo lips on his neck!) having his way with him he’s only 6′7! Hm I have to say the only times I ever remember being nervous to the point where I felt nauseous and my ears were pounding has been during Laker games and the forgettable era where I had to ‘compete’ in synchronize swimming routines.

 Anyways school is done. I’m still trying to decide if I should take summer school.

I’ve started playing poker with some real pesos, and I failed. Good news is that I didnt’ tilt all the way. I play at Doyles Room. AVOID FULL TILT. Well if you’re Maple Lee that is…they gave me the worst customer service EVAAAR.

I’ve started working at a job in Gardena… Left me drained but I think I’ll get more breaks hahaha

I watched the movie Taken. I liked it! That guy is a good actor, too bad Schindler’s List was in black and white, that lost me. I also watched Revolutionary Road…was this originally a book? Cos if it was it should have stayed a book. Someone told me it was like the Notebook. Good fuckin god it is NOT like the Notebook it is no where SIMILAR to the Notebook. Acting was good though.

This past week I was on spring break. Well…I got sick on Tuesday. Wednesday night my friend calls me up telling me that they are having an Ellis Lifeguard class on Friday. There’s an online portion class that you need to take first and it was about 8 hours and you need to take an exam as well…BEFORE the Friday class. I needed that certificate if I wanted to apply as a lifeguard at CPE before April 17th. So I signed up, crammed in the 8 hours and passed the exam. Friday, I had to perform CPR on a mannequin with my stuffed nose, I looked like a fish out of water. Yesterday I was doing rescues and scenarios. Brutal I’m telling you. What’s worse is that April 17th my school has conference finals, and I would hate to ditch them for an interview, but I really need that interview and I can’t reschedule it. So I’m going to attempt to come back to Cerritos at 1, and return in time for the Finals (if I make it) by 3. It’s difficult though.

Do you know what’s a good song? Dream’s Rockin That Shit and Flo Rida’s Be On You

I was disappointed with Marley & Me I hope whatever Jennifer Anniston did to her face, I hope she never does it again. Did not look good!! Anyways I guess I was expecting a comedy of some sort, but it turned out to be something about life lessons…and an ending that made you bawl your eyes out despite that fact that you were not feeling the movie to begin with.

I also watched Bordertown. Man that was depressing and gave me a sense of hopelessness, which I don’t think the people who created the film wanted me to feel. It’s about the city of Juarez and the rapes and murders of thousands of women. I think JLo can act. I loved Selena, and Enough was pretty good as well.

Oh! I really want to watch The Soloist , Robert Downey Junior is a very good looking man. I think that movie will make me cry because the trailer already does it for me. Ha

HI shing! hahahhaaha

I totally forgot that I had this blog. I’ve been busy with swimming and poker. Of course 3 weeks after swimming everyday 5 times a week from 1-3 in the afternoon, I realize that my 10 dollar a small-ass-bottle sun block is not WATERPROOF. So that would explain it, at that point, I was starting to get a cap and goggle tan!! I’m probably going to get alot of freckles and spots on my face as I age…

I’ve been playing poker everyday. Hm…I might be actually wasting my time, but I’m thinking about depositing maybe 10 dollars at Full Tilt. I don’t know, if I lose it, no more poker for me. My sister hates it, and think it’s a waste of time. I don’t know I just do play to relax I guess. I’m a chaser

Lakers are coming along, we don’t need home court advantage against the Cavaliers so it’s all good. Lamar Odom is the Happiest Laker

NBA needs to make Donald Sterling sell the Clippers. He’s a horrible, I mean Mike Dunleavy? What is he, his brother or something? Fire him. The entire franchise just has this curse. Everything just goes wrong, Al, Eric, BARON, Marcus don’t need to put up with that. 

I’m not a big American Idol fan, but I LIKE ANOOP DESAI!! 

You know I think I’m going to find turning 20 very depressing. I wanted to be 17 forever, it doesn’t look like it’ll get any better if you know what I mean..

I downloaded A Kid Named Kudi mixtape. Very excellente. Fav tracks: Embrace the Martian, Maui Wowie (don’t smoke but that is my jam!), Man on the Moon, The Prayers, and Day and Night is OK sounding to me, I’m surprised it got on the radio.

I also like J Holiday’s sophomore album. It blows his debut one away. The first album only had 2 songs on there that I liked, Bed and Suffocate. This one…at least 6!

I have a court date on Monday. IM SKEERED!!! Mainly that they will put me handcuffs for the hell of it. hahaa but seriously, get in, plead guilty, pay the fine, and haul the FUCK out of there!!!!!! Did I mention what it’s for? An alleged ‘dangerous left turn’ fuck that. The police had to brake, so what, that’s part of everyday driving. But whatever he’s the one with badge. He must be right…right? I mean I think what happened was definitely debatable… but you know how it goes.

 Hm. That’s it for now

I learned how to play poker, about two weeks ago, previously I didn’t want to play it cos I could not memorize the ranks of the cards, hee there is still space in my brain! So now I play it almost everyday.

Ok so I joined the Cypress swim team. WHY?? Did I THINK that I was in shape at ALL? Today was my third day at practice, and it’s not getting easier. I guess everyone else did have almost a month start and I haven’t swam a lap in 2 years. But I haven’t been eating lunch, so while swimming, I can’t figure out…am I more HUNGRY? or TIRED?

Rad got traded so long and farewell

Hm I noticed that everyone was eager for 08 to be done with. I guess, but 09 isn’t guranteed to be better.Time just fuckin flies.

I went to the Rose Parade Float Viewing thing. Weird, I’ve never went to one before. I didn’t know it drew such a huge crowd. I saw the skateboarding dog! There were also these gorgeous huskies. I want try sledding. OH and horseback riding! I remember when I was a kid…I LOVED HORSES. Remember I had that Horse Encyclopedia? I would just highlight it all over.

 Is it weird that Pink’s ‘Sober’ song makes me want to go get shit-faced?

I really like Soulja Boy’s ‘Kiss Me Thru The Phone’ lol i think it’s KIND of sampled of TI’s ‘Whatever You Like’   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d38KuewS_E

Every once in a while, I like to go back on my blogs and read them and every time, without fail, i get embarassed about something that I wrote. Whether it’d be about family stuff, my opinions, stuff that happened. Oh the word embarassed…there’s a red line underneath it… how do you spell it correctly? Ha honestly it looks correctly spelt to me.But I leave it there…cos that was me being lame at the time.

 So I got TDK on DVD. I watched it already, even though I swore I would wait until Wednesday to watch it. I have TWO FINALS tomorrow! I noticed that the Blu Ray Disc had a double disc version, that’s not fair! I can’t afford a BRD player! I am rooting for Heath Ledger to get an Oscar.

"Stop telling me WHAT I SHOULD DO, I know what i have to do, stop trying to get me on the right track!" ahhaha 

I’m going to miss my spanish class. You know I fail at making friends in my other classes, but I think because we intract more, I’ve made more friends. NO it’s not cos I suck as person. In other classes, I’m just quiet, I keep to myself. But in classes like spanish and acting (!) are the only classes that I have made friends in. But next semester I won’t be taking it. I’m taking BIOLOGY oh and stats.

Hm also I’m taking a fundamental basketball class on Friday mornings! I’m really excited about it, the main reason why I’m taking it is cos…The only major thing that I’ve regretted so far was not trying out for basketball in high school. I could shoot the ball pretty well, but as far as playing a game/dribbling etc I don’t know much about it. I blame my mom, I could’ve been in a youth basketball program, but no! I had to learn piano. So here’s a second chance

Oh I was at CPE last Saturday just shooting the ball around. This girl comes up to me, she looks like she’s highschool, maybe freshman. So she tells me that I’m really good at basketball and of course I go ‘no! you got this alll wrong’, but she doesn’t believe me cos she saw me make a bunch of baskets. People see me make a couple of baskets and they ASSUME I play basketball, I was kind of mortified, and I felt like I was being lame. And she was saying it so loud, I’m sure people heard. OK sometimes I go on a streak and I start stroking the basketball. But post me up, I will have no idea what to do and will end up double dribbling or traveling. No joke

So we’re talking and we had a talk that went like this ‘How old are you?’ Me: oh 18. *jaw drop* ‘really? you look really young’ oh, how old did you think i was ‘oh my age’ which is? ‘16′ *my jaw drop* ’so you’re like a senior?’ no i’m a sophmore in college. ouch. it’s embarassing, and when I realize that I’m older than people, I feel like I have to be mature or have something to offer which I am not and don’t possess.

 I got Kanye’s and Britney’s album. "GOT" as in physicaly went to Best Buy and bought it. Both albums are excellent. Pinnochio’s Story is sad isn’t it? Average citizens would love the fame, those that have reached that ‘limit’ of fame crave normalacy. Hm…sometimes I wish I could be Britney’s friend and Kanye sometimes comes off as really lonely. silly I know. Why am I so ‘fascinated’ with celebrities’ I’m not fascinated ok, I dont’ stalk them. But I do follow celebrities that I like and I draw inspiration from them. If you look at the people, that I look up to, they’re all celebrities, most of them. That’s the way I roll. They are real people. I would never see Kanye on the street, scream my ass of and rush him with pen, paper and a camera. The people who actually look down at celebrities are the ones that talk about them as if they’re not real, but maybe just a character they see on the tabloids. My way is better.

 I need to go drop some kiddies in the pool. HEe, I wrote alot.

Wow I had a Sunday. Whole body is achey and my throat kinda hurts when i swallow, fuck. Oh I’m not talking to my sister because on Thursday she decided to turn into a bitch, and we haven’t spoke since. Hm, who is more stubborn?

 Oh someone is being douchey, so I have all sorts of things going on in my mind, I’m scared I’ll do something rash.

You know…instead of wanting a duplicator (my genius plan) I just want a portal. Something..that will take me to places like..hm well Africa, Haiti, and other 3rd world countries. Like…you know… boom i walk through the door i’m in another country. It would be easier to give them food and help them, then say give money you know? I don’t know..i thought it was unique.

Annie Lennox is one hell of a person. Wasn’t Chris Brown getting artist of the year weird??? He seemed surprised himself. I’m still not sure about getting Kanye’s album. Sometimes I wonder what it’s like being him. 

 Lil Wayne is performing at the Gibson Theatre…on the 21st! I could potentially be with Weezy (same place as him) on my birthday! But the tickets are expensive… and I want to go with my sister..so anyone have 800 bucks they don’t need? Booo

I’ve never really thought about it, but I realize that my parents are strict. I always thought they weren’t…but they’re like the government. They’ll let you do certain stuff in the house, but as soon as you want to do something different, bam! You can’t. I never had issues with them..because I never wanted/needed to…but now that I do want to do stuff, I realize that they were never an option for me, but I just never knew cos I didn’t bother testing the waters.

My weekends are spent at home. On the computer. My eyes are strained. I’m in no mood to start a family drama and neither do I have my own way of transportation or money before I can start talking smack.

DAAAAMn it’s already November! Soon it’s going to be December, then New Years and then…2010 then i’m turnin 30. Oh god, I would feel so old, I’m sorry and I know people that are in their thirties you probably felt like this as well.

So since I’ve updated this place, Obama’s become our president and the NBA season has started already.

I think it’s cool that Obama is president, it gives alot of people hope, and you have to admit, things have been sucky, it was nice to see euphoria flowing around the place. I think it’s good for black people living here, cos you know how SOME of you guys say that… it’s a white man’s world and it’s hard being black etc, well maybe now that Obama is elected… you can look at things a little bit differently around you. I don’t think America is a racist as we portray her to be, sure some people say ignorant things but when it’s all said and done….. how many of you guys really do despise Obama because he’s half black? how many of you guys do have a sincere fear of having him as our president. it’s like cmon now.

OH i bought his book "Dreams from My Father" I’ve taken out the time to search up those difficult vocabulary that he uses. I’ll never forget the time, my history teacher Mr Park told us that when you read a book..you should scribble your thoughts out on the page etc….after or while you’re reading it, you find something interesting…jot something down… it causes you to go through the pages slower, but I think it’s worth it.

Lakers…. we lost to Detroit, well I guess it’s a good thing…if you look at it from AI’s perspective, the trade wasn’t a total FAILURE. I think billups will be great for Denver, they can use his leadership. I like Carmelo’s new look. David Stern…or whoever assigns the fines is fuckin ridiculous…. you’re suspending players for a little shoving match? come on it’s just a basketball game, they’re not shoving while on the line of duty in Iraq. I’ll never remember the time that Shaq got 300,000 for cussing on live tv. That can buy a fuckin house! Several cuss words =/= house. FAIL

Oh I never thought about it, but I would love if Shaq could come back to the Lakers after he becomes a free agent you know? I’m sure Kobe, Shaq and even Phil would love to go back and re-do things.

Oh, I’m a new fan of John Legend… i’ve liked these songs so far.. "Greenlight" "PDA" "Number One"..hm yea. I want to go to a Chris Brown concert

So I’ve been taking an astronomy class this semester…so I’ve finally realized how FUCKIN huge the fuckin universe is… like DAMN. the closest star is fuckin 4 light years away, it makes me want to cease existing. what’s the point, we’re like tiny specks on a planet? the Sun is going to die in oh about 5 billion years… like….how can us humans leave our mark?

It’s like.. you living in your town… and you finally realize that…wow there’s places..that don’t have as well as i do… then it goes to ‘oh damn other countries are still stuck in the past while parts of American is all decked out’ then…to think… oh there’s OTHER planets..then other…GALAXIES? and the earth/us/planets are just made by exploding stars ?? (my info maybe off) but so yea. You look at this and you realize you’re nothing but another TINY ass particle, and damn is it depressing or you can look at it… as there’s still a fuckin Earth with people on it and you have to work with what you got… but depressing yea? for me it is.

TI can’t be calling Rihanna ‘baby girl’ that’s Aaliyah! Oh, quick DYK…Aaliyah, Nicole Ritchie, and Kidada Jones were apparently very good friends. I would have never figured that out.

I like TI’s album. I did not buy it though I got these brand spanking new headphones that my friend had, but I had to jump on the wagon.

I got this THICK ASS BOOK on you know what… it’s fuckin insane, who knew you could write so much about it.

I’m dropping my speech class. Fuck that shit, that class is hard. Ok, the professor, she’s fair…in a way, but she won’t give you an inch, at all. I mean yes it is a college class, but it won’t kill to hand out notes or WRITE something on the board. I mean it’s a speech class, and she literally gives a speech. She just talks, and sometimes I have no idea which stuff I should write down, I try to listen for stuff that sounds important, but I didn’t end up with much. And the EXAMS don’t even get me started. It’s…like short answers… and it’s just very…VAGUE. I’m not sure which answer she’s looking for. For example, one problem, I thought ‘I got this, I memorized all ten steps and described it’ She took off 2 points for something I don’t even remember what it was! Just very picky, why not stick to multiple choice questions, so at least we can agree on a same answer. First exam i got a 60…ok i brush it off so i studied alot more, had all my shit memorized….and i get a fuckin 69? all that studying for 9 measely points?? FUBAR.

Does anyone think Kanye is acting a little..you know all over the place? peeing in dressig rooms, attacking paparazzi, they shouldn’t be anything new you know? I mean if he was younger…ok but he’s like what… 31? damn, i don’t know… i’m not really feeling most of the songs that i’ve heard from 808 but like he said… it’s not important. I do like Love Lockedown and Heartless (love the video) but I don’t know… he does whatever he wants. It’s like to make it big, producers need to know how to make ‘hot beats’ but after they’re successful..they don’t need to deliver everytime and they can experiment, so that’s cool.

Have I mentioned Boiling Crab, look it up if you’re in Garden Grove or Alhambra, you can thank me later

I am in love with this show. It’s such a guilty pleasure!! I have a huge girl crush on Serena. I hate and love Chuck. I like Blair, cos she says stuff you want to stay but don’t.

 But like young people, when they watch this they need to keep in mind that it’s a heightened reality you know? It’s not realistic, it’s more of a ‘i would love to do this, but can’t’ thing. I’m surprised that it doesn’t have that much viewers.

Oh and I love the theme song… it’s not really a song but that music when the show starts…IS it a song? It’s like eargasmic. 

 Oh yesterday, we went to the San Gabriel mountains, which I didn’t want to go in the first place. I feel like I’m marching. And all I do is stare at the ground when I walk, so I won’t trip on rocks and stuff, so I miss out all the pretty wildlife surrounding you know? Well my mom wanted to go on a different trail. It’s like 1.2 miles right? No biggie to this campground place. Well getting there was hard, the trails were real steep. So we finanlly get there. This guy tells us it that if we keep going hit a fork path and a sign, take the left and it’ll take us back to the parking lot. So we walk… and walk…finally get to the sign and it says THREE more MILES to the parking lot. You could have killed me. I thought we were never going to make it. I saw alot more of the mountains that I had originally wanted to see. Took us like two hours. So now my legs are sore.

You know soon it’s going to be 20 year, and I WOULD be 26 years old?

So it’s been 12 years since Tupac passed away. Do you think he was MEANT to die? He did get alot more popular after his death and it just made people more aware of him and what he stood for.

He’s my favorite….er person? Role model? Father figure? I don’t know. Cos when I first discovered him, everything he said, was everything that I had ALREADY believed in or could really connect with. But I think he’s one of the greatest person that ever lived. Disagree all you want. And I’m not saying you should check out his music, which is great, but more importantly WATCH HIS INTERVIEWS. That’s the Tupac I wish more people would know. The songs are good, but the man behind the lyrics is the real deal.

SO I’m post the link: http://www.youtube.com/my_subscriptions?pi=1&ps=20&sf=added&sa=0&sq=&dm=2&s=5dvygIoQx9E#

this is my fav quote from him, the whole thing about the rose analogy. I remember tearing up when I first saw it. Amazing.
