the woman doesn't like the fact that my hands are rough. i was pulling weeds yesterday and i got down and dirty with the thousands of weeds that are living in my front yard. yes, "thousands." there were HELLLLA weeds out there but we got most of that shit out. my parents came out and helped out too
thank god, i would have gone crazy had i done it by myself.
not that it was a lot, but man, it's hot out there.
ok so my life ain't that bad right now. i'm just being "waah" about this. (read: iyakin). anyway. these past few days have been interesting to say the least. i've been busy as ever, bloggings are few and far between. whoops

is my philosophy, my single most important value. it is central to all that i do and to all whom i interact with. right now i feel like i'm balancing on a tight rope while juggling huge priorities. priorities that are sharp like those ginzu knives on tv that cut through coke cans and old shoes. i want to say it's like those times when you know exactly what you're doing, but it's just that the things have gotten more important and you are starting to realize it.
for the piano players out there or musicians in general, it's like when u play an old familiar piece that you have memorized front to back but when you start thinking about it, u start to fuck up and forget what the next note is cuz you're looking at each note individually and not feeling it as u play.
i feel like that sometimes. kinda in control, but uncertain if things will work out... damn my shitty committee*
anyway... i just started summer school, working 32hrs a week, working on the content for a leadershi conference, training the counselor's for the conference, all this and trying to put a cd together, basketball at night, fishing with my dad every other friday and a gf... no wonder i grit my teeth at night...
other than that, i think things are going pretty well. the only disappointment i have is with the fact that i have to wait to finish my cd... better late than never
ok time to go to a meeting...
*one of my counseling professor's term for the little voice you hear that talks you out of doing things u want to do

today was nice. it wasn't too hot and there was a nice breeze. i think it was like 80 or something, but breezy. met with an asian am prof for lunch at south villa, one of my preferred filipino restaurants in sacto. prof. maeda wanted lechon, i wanted sinigang, it's a good thing i eat pork. i talked to him bout setting an internship program up with asian am studies at sac state.
he's down...
i got a full tank of gas today for under $20! i paid $19.00 at costco for reg unleaded. it was $1.50/gallon i was pretty hyped about it. while waiting in line, i saw this older japanese amer man in front of me getting gas too... i didn't think nothing of him until i saw his license plate. it read "go for broke" on the top of the license holder and on the bottom it read "member of the 442nd regiment battalion" i was taken aback for a sec.
for those of you who don't know, the 442nd battalion was the most decorated battalion of WWII. they were mainly japanese american CITIZENS, the nisei (second generation). they fought in the european theatre. and get this... they fought courageously while their families back home were rounded up into concentration camps throughout the US. tule lake, manzanar, etc... learn more about the 442nd here.
anyway, i wanted to go say something to this man, u know to recognize his efforts in the 442nd, to say thanks at least and maybe shake his hand. i read about him in the ASIAN AMERICAN history books, but not in my high school history books... but i didn't want to freak him out. plus i'm not the groupie type of person. when i see celebrities, i don't trip out too much, unless they're jazz musicians (those i kneel to in awe) but i was totally contemplating jockin this old man just to say what up... imagine a total stranger coming up to you and shakin your hand thanking you for your efforts in a war that happened more than 50 years ago... i should have now that i think about it... oh well... next time there won't be a hesitation.

oooh the pain. i just did my finances for the month. it's a good thing i eat less nowadays... it'll be a little tight, but i'll survive.
the CD's going to be delayed a few months, folks... :( FAYLC, summer school, and work are keeping me occupied right now.
let me just also say, i'm thankful for those who helped me get to where i am at now, namely mom and pop who were understanding when i quit my job last august for grad school. thanks, i appreciate it and you know i'm good for them IOU's
i plan to get my dad a boat someday. and i think my mom would like a nice greenhouse, she wants a jaguar too but i don't want another fiero* incident. just kidding mom... haha
*inside joke, and my mom would kill u if i told anyone outside the immediate family, sorry! haha

happy fifth everyone... what? i'm a day late? oh, um... ok yeah... so anyway, i feel really not in the mood to be serious right now
it's hot as fizzuck up in this mug and i am starting to hit delirium.
anyway, we had a BBQ up in here yesterday for the 4th. it was hella cloudy though, so it felt like hawaii up in here... it was nice, jaybeeface, lyc, tim-dawg, mr. chanton, mr. hoang, the luvbug, bluefrums, ctlemonade, snake eyz and mikeo73 all represented, verse was MIA no bball for the boyz... booooooooooo
marinated chicken, hamburgers and a shitload of shots... things were mighty good. ctlemonade sparked it up with some groundblooms and golden shower (yes, that's the actual title!) pyrotechnics. i know psychogasm is laughing right now over the "golden shower" comment. *spanking ferret with shampoo bottle* that one's for u, voodoochild.

i'm smotherin' bbq sauce on the ribs on my grill and continue to chill... it's like 100 right now in SAC and i'm sweatin away in the studio bloggin. what the heck... i was summoned for jury duty but it turned out that they didn't need me so it's all good. i kinda wanted to experience what it's like to be on a jury, but then i found out that work doesnt' cover that shit. so i was like "oh hell no."
anyway, it's too hot today so i'll leave ya'll webheads to do your thang... i'm goin in the pool...
