| when xanga was THE happenin thing? now you can do a quick facebook note and more people are likely to read that than your xanga post. oh how times have changed.
Last night I couldn't sleep until 3 am. I felt tired around 12, and like a good kiddo that I've been for the past week, I whipped out my Bible and read a few chapters. Then the phase of 'feel kinda tired, but not tired enough to sleep, plus its friggin hot upstairs' and so I ended up downstairs on the computer, wasting time by reading the news of the world. Kinda scary this world is ya? Then my mind was runnin. All over the place. I saw the Keith Olbermann July 4th Special Comment and I almost applauded, because it's so true. I thought about potentially posting a long, overwritten explanation of how I feel about our state of democracy and how honestly, for the past 7 years, we would have been off without a president at all. But I think that statement alone is enough to vouch for what I feel.
It's been hot this summer. And I like it. This summer has been shapin up to be quite interesting and I know it only gets better from. I feel quite blessed to have the amazing family and friends that I have so once again, thanks yall.

| So I'm tired of starting each new entry as "Wow it's been such a long time since..."
How about looking towards the future and loving absolutely every minute of the past? And especially a week in which you've had so many amazing, amazing things happen?
Let's rattle it off. I have a feeling that this weekend will never be able to match how amazing this schoolweek has been, but I can only hope for the best and plan for the worst right? Right.
It all started Sunday. Happy Birthday Big Bro Yoshi, hope you had a good one. Quite a few memorable moments right there. Then it transitioned to the well worth tiredness that was talking with my favoritest and bestest wifey in the world. We broke it down, we made it all understandable and hey, it's all up to you and a little bit of luck and time. Thank you so much for that, I owe you the world. It was worth not sleeping til 5. Wifey have a great weekend at home. Then there's also knowing that I'm a psuedo lil bro for Tree. Glad to have you as a psuedo big!
Then there was Monday. Econ midterm I felt pretty good about, even though super tired taking it [worth it]. Then everything was set forward from that afternoon. We're stupid so often aren't we? Sonia, thanks for giving me the chance to make things work and for us to stop being so stubborn you hottie boomalottie. I still hate how anything remotely Hawaiian reminds me of you.
Then Tuesday. The weather started turning into Summer from Monday, but Tuesday was probably the hottest day of the week so far and it was just so nice. Then we tucked Yan in and what a blast that was. Thanks to all the lovely Chi Omega "potential big sis's" that came out, I definitely had fun. Family shots it what Jager's all about.
Wednesday was nothing extraordinary, but just another wonderful day.
And then there was today. Props to Sigma Chi who put out a great Derby Days Philanthropy, it was real cool to see something like that going on for an entire week. Kudos to KdPhi for rockin' the house with their routine [made me wanna check on our pledges and their serenades...], Kappa Zeta Phi for the steppin [YEA TREE!], and for Alpha Chi Omega [yea big sis!] winnin 2nd place overall in Derby Days. Man steppin is dope. It was kinda disappointing to see that the Greek sororities didn't organize as well for the talent show as the Asian ones did, but oh well. Eventually somebody has to dethrone aKdPhi...It was just nice seein everyone and even though I'm not a Sigma Chi, but I still had a good time at the talent show/skit thing. LATES [haha Diane.] I hope big sis revealing was a good night.
What can I look forward to on a potentially awesome Friday? Let's just hope it's super chill. Next week is Sungod. All you east coast and privey kids, I expect you back in San Diego ASAP and to be on UCSD campus May 18th for Diego's finest drunkenfest.
update: Friday was good too. Got to school early via carpooling, napped and missed class, woke up at 12, did some shtufff. Got my econ midterm back [92! first A on a midterm in a long time] and I'm so glad I have an A in that class. Yeaaaaaaa dat. Weekend looks good too.
Saturday was wonderfully inefficient. Screw flamebroiler, it's L&L all the way. Kennie go to bed at a reasonable time so we can have gosh iono, breakfast or lunch sometime? Instead of a "5 pm lunch".
Happy Mother's Day. I hope yall treated ya moms right. I hate Mira Mesa's B&N because they never have any seating available. Oh well, to fight that I went mad nostalgic and drove around my old house and neighborhood...oh the Park Village memories. I remember it was just Spring Break...and I was at PV park and I was making my paddles. That was oddly theraputic.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, here's to Week 7. Holy cow we're almost done with this quarter.
SigEps, I hope yall rock Laughlin like no other, hope yall have a bombass time. I'm lookin forward to goin next year and tearin that place apart.
Great to be a muthafuckin Ep. Purple and Red 'til I'm dead.
Cuz we stay fresh to death, we the best, nothin' less. What chu know about that?

| December 25:
yep. merry christmas everybody, hope yall have a great one.
something to ponder upon:
tuesdays with morrie, page 109
'One
of the patients, a middle-aged woman, came out of her room every day
and lay facedown on the tile floor, stayed there for hours, as doctors
and nurses stepped around her. Morrie watched in horror. He took notes,
which is what he was there to do. Every day, she did the same
thing:came out in the morning, lay on the floor, stayed there until the
evening, talking to no one, ignored by everyone. It saddened Morrie. He
began to sit on the floor with her, even lay down alongside her, trying
to draw her out of her misery. Eventually, he got her to sit up, and
even to return to her room. What she mostly wanted, he learned, was the
same thing many people want--someone to notice she was there.'
i
read this today and it really struck a chord with me, basically that we
are all deserving of gifts this year, deserving of gifts of all sorts.
yes it's a hassle to give out gifts, to plan it out, to put that hole
through our wallets for the rest of the year...but there's such a great
satisfaction from giftgiving that's hard to replicate somewhere else.
i've made an effort for the past 3 years to give gifts to my family,
before that i just didnt bother or even care about it, while i was
getting presents every year. but ive come to realize that no matter how
much money we dont have, or how much time we've lost, or what have you,
you can always give gifts that dont fit in bags, boxes, or packages.
give
a hug or a smile bare minimum, for most people that's enough. it's
thoughtful, and you didn't even have to plan it out for days :]
life is amazingly simple isnt it? happy holidays, christmakwanzaakuh, and a wonderful new year.
December 15:
1. so this past week, the first week of winter break, i've been bustin my chops to make up for a lot of lost time and for the first time in my life i posted a 40 hour work week, yea pretty amazing based on all yall knowing how lazy i am. but yea, it's funny because i'm going to do it again next week, and i'm going to be laid off following that friday haha. weird huh, i try my hardest right before they're letting me go. no hard feelings, we're all [3] temp part time interns with whack schedules and our boss needs a really steady worker to do work all the time [basically what i've been doin this past week]. rough. but money in the bank! now i gotta find another job, and also find some volunteer work to do.
2. merry christmakwanzakuh yall.
3. everytime i see you, i get a little slice of heaven. i'm so blessed to have you in my life. i love you coot stuff, you mean the world to me, always have, always will.
4. i've whipped out like god knows how much money on presents for people recently, so expect them real soon when i see you! :] im so poor blah.
5. i've had the most whack dreams as of late. i still think it's weird that i'm most likely to dream right after waking up [you know that little 20 minute 'snooze' you take after you initially wake up?'] i need to stop watching niptuck. one of my dreams involved a character from it wow.
