Which Weezer Song are You?  ¶ 2/25/2002 03:35:00 PM 0 comments

  wow...time flies when you are doing little.
its almost been a week since i've blogged... sorry bout that guys.
well, the weekend was good, did alot of stuff, diversity training, community service, pot luck dinner, saw the Anniversary and Guided by Voices at Mojos!
GBV played for almost 3 hours! crazy shit I say.. and of course, the anniversary did a great albeit short set. There new album is killer, much more beatle-esque and less synth pop-ish than their last album.. What can I say , I love it both. .. i hear from a reliable source that they want to record a double album. the first cd will be clash style punk rock, the second a more down home, down trodden country western influenced album.. i'm sure that whatever they do, it will be enjoyable.
i think my haircut has made me more attractive to the girls out there...but.. even though this new found effect of girls staring at me more in a good way should boost my confidence, i am stilll scared to talk to them.. oh ..how cute girls make my heart beat a little faster.
i've figured out finally, that I cannot get anything very constructive done in front of my PC at home..so i am in a computer lab at memorial union.. attempting to pound out a 4-6 page paper due tomorrow. I don't think i'm doing that bad...its just that i'm not yet in the mood to pound it out... but I must.. for I have more homeworkto do and another diversity training session to help conduct...
so.. yeah... thank you for being my diversion from work and I thank you for reading me... you faithful few readers.. and I already have a feeling I know who you people are :)
SHIT!
i just looked out the window wistfully i guess.. and i noticed some snow.... freakin snow! do you know what the weather was yesterday (2/24)? it was 75 degrees... and today its snowing.??? i need to get out of this place fast.. sunny california looks better and better each time I hear its name ..
bye for now

  aargh... berg was okay, somewhat stressing with school and a bit annoying.. but nothing that a few hours with good friends can't cure.
margaret cho is damn funny.. her newer video is quite good, I recommend it highly.
good night

  well, im not that much more rested than my last post. I havent gotten any quality sleep yet, and on top of that i'm working out.. not too good for my body.. we'll try to get better sleep next week. and its always next week..
its the middle of the week and I have a presentation tomorrow, hopefully it will go well. I am also excited to see the Anniversary twice this week! Once in Columbia, then again in kanss city. its been so long since i've seen these guys and gal, it'll be a good weekend. but of course, that means I'm gonna have to get hardcore action on my paper cause I am conducting TWO diversity trainings this weekend! ahhh! the price you pay to combat ignorance... hopefully I'll actually make a difference.

its pretty cool and scary being the chair of MAASU. if you dont know what that is, MAASU is the Midwest Asian American Student Union. And I am kind of the head of the organization, responsible for about 60 campuses. I don't know what I got myself into, but I have awesome people to work with and i'm excited. i do miss the old Executive board already. everyone in that group is awesome, but I'm sure we'll do fine.

I must stay strong and resist the want/need to get a girlfriend.. I think its just my hormones at this time of the year, but every girl is looking quite pretty and I'm getting tired of not having one.. anyway.. more on that later.
i'm typing in a computer lab, and this macintosh is giving me cramps in my left arm, i don't know whats up with that.. i
allright allright, referring to surveys on attention span, if you haven't already, you're getting bored and are wanting to get to another web page. so I will bid you adieu and post again some other time..

take care,

  wow.. this weekend was crazy/fun/stressing/exciting/sleepless/drunk/sober/ in other words... all that a weekend could and should be.
MAASU was really cool, and you are now looking at the chair of the ECC. I have great associates and I'm really excited to get to work with them and with Ball State and Indiana University.

Hanging out with my mizzou peeps was really fun, a real bonding experience..

man, this is the one time i'm too tired to write.. i'll write more later..  ¶ 2/18/2002 04:17:00 PM 0 comments

  Well, I had my first quiz today. And despite all my nervous rants and actions, I don't think I did that bad. Too bad I forgot my calculator, so I actually had to use my head (gasp).

now I have another quiz tomorrow, and I hope I do well. After that.. I get to go to the MAASU conference! a few days of fun and most likely some stress... but mostly fun..

coffee is bad.. i had it again last night and my stomach was all fucked up once again. So, do a little deducing and some cause and effect logic, and it has to be coffee that makes me sick.. so yeah, no more coffee for alex..

well... I gotta get ready for a valentines dinner.. no valentine though.. just food.. and then I gotta study and get ready for MAASU..
take care all, have a good weekend..

oh yeah, you just have to love weezer bootlegs..  ¶ 2/13/2002 02:48:00 PM 0 comments

  whooptie fuckin doo....
new look. because of my sometimes manic behavior...in times of stress or just plain boredom I like to change things around..so this time I changed my blogger

if you dont like it, shit, who cares? you'll still read it right? :)  ¶ 2/10/2002 10:21:00 AM 0 comments

  new counter.. not as "fancy" as the last, but a counter nonetheless... its sad though.. back to zero and all.. oh well
you gotta have a new start every once in a while.

valentines day is coming up.. i hate vday.. i think the only girl thats gonna get anything from me will be my sister.. yeah, I'm a good brother like that.. she deserves flowers...
alas, no other to get flowers for, thats good though, right?  ¶ 2/09/2002 06:57:00 PM 0 comments

this website will be my current obsession. whats better than a bulletin board? a bulletin board where you can post your own drawings! yeah, im not that good... but, its okay.. you can tell the ones are mine that have english comments on them.. so, make some drawings also and comment on mine.. be nice.. if you can..

well, i had a great filipino dinner tonight. cooked w/ some of my filipina sisters Helen and Camille. made adobo, pansit, and lumpia.. good stuff.. and of course, there were leftovers to eat tomorrow! i love and miss filipino food. Thankfully I am learning how to cook a few choice menus.

I got my new optical wheel mouse today! i am pretty excited.. although some people (M) didn't think so! j/k everyone has priorities..

well.. i get to go do some real sociology fieldwork tomorrow so wish me luck.. and then I get to assist in some diversity education for good ol mizzou.. its kind of nice, I am in some way, in a little way, helping to rid mizzou of some ignorance.. if you can reach just one person.. it is a success..
take care all, have a good weekend..   ¶ 2/07/2002 10:40:00 PM 0 comments

  well, i've been working out much lately.. and my body feels it..
right now, I just got done playing some ddr and made myself some zuccini pasta..and Im not feeling well. i hope it wasn't something I cooked..cause ..that would suck you know?
aaa meeting didn't go as well as possible, numbers were low, but that was expected.. c'est la vie..

oh man, its wednesday and its berg night... i gotta go, at least for a little bit.. social custom can't ignore.. must go..

how do you cure lovesickness? i don't know..
that was totally random.. maybe im actually lovesick and i don't know it..
food for the body and soul? hopefully i'll find both, that won't give me a tumy ache :(  ¶ 2/06/2002 08:52:00 PM 0 comments

  Jade Tree Records

these guys are great. $8 vinyl? I'm in love. and of course, they have your cd's too. buy stuff from the promise ring, owls, euphone, jets to brazil etc...

hahha... to my delight, the patriots pulled out a win last night against the rams. it was so quiet in that house, only myself and 2 others were happy that the rams lost. remember, Im a KC boy, and I love my CHEFS, I mean Chiefs....

well.. another week, another challenge, another opportunity..
take care all  ¶ 2/04/2002 05:58:00 AM 0 comments

  I just got back from The Mothman Prophecies. It wasn't bad, if you take it at an certain level, if you're just looking for entertainment.

I am listening to Julie Plug alot. The band is a bay area filipino american rock band, they have a hip mid 90's pop sensibility, and have that britpop feel to them. the lead singer is downright beautiful and I have those stupid dreams about meeting a girl like her. I mean, I only know her on one level, i see her picture and hear her voice..but man, its like a movie.. if only I had the chance to meet her.. it would be all good! hahaha of course I fall in and out of love all the time (did I just quote Alicia Keys?). But yeah, DK made a good point last night. I talked about how I wanted to really do something, travel whatever, but it seems as I'm too afraid to go out and do it. DK said that I have nothing holding me back, and he's true, my dad is happy now so I won't have abandonment issues, and I have no girlfriend. So, why not go out and do something? I haven't had a girlfriend in the longest time, and no matter how much I complain about it, I actually think its probably good for me.
and if I do meet that girl, hopefully she'll let me do my thing, and I'l surely let her do hers. as long as we come to some middle ground where we can trust eachother and when we're back together we don't have to have inner monolouges of thought wether we should have trusted eachother. man, I am really blabbing on tonight..

back to some sort of coherent line of thinking.
I think as long as I keep up with reading and keep myself on the offensive, I should do fine this sem. but I can't slack off like I did this weekend, if I am to become a better student, I can't waste my time like I did. So, this is my weekend to really slack off for no good reason. I will try to devote more time to studying, fitness and being a good friend.

I still haven't had much of a change on my current stance on religion. i think im afraid of it, like it will change my life and make me into some person that I am too afraid to become just as yet. maybe I'll try church again? i'll let you know.
I really feel bad for not blogging as often as I should, so I'll also try to be a better blogger.
I've also been working out alot lately, and I feel really good.. of course the results aren't that great yet, but i can already feel that my pants are getting a bit looser. the problem with me is when I work out, I tend to eat alot of snacks for some reason, because my regular diet is not good enough.. so, no more Nilla wafers.. and I'll hopefully see some results by the end of this semester.
i cleaned my room today, and although it was only a scratch on the surface of filth, its an improvment.
tomorrows plan: get up at a decent time, study, work out, study more, super bowl party at Joe's. I think this will be the last of this current entry. so long.  ¶ 2/02/2002 10:44:00 PM 0 comments
