I joined Friday Night Live today with a bunch of other people as well. FNL is just a club where we go out and do things, without the influence of drugs or alcohol (so I'll have to be giving up on that, kidding). We also do fundraisers to help pay for our trips and stuff. We get to have a pizza party next friday, and next saturday we go bowling. I would rant about the attitude and cooperation of some students in my classes right now, but I don't think I should bore you all, so I'll save that for my own blog. I haven't been up to much lately cept school, guitar, and home. School hasn't really been all that hectic, and to me it seems a bit laid back this year with the exception of a few classes. My guitar lessons haven't really been progressing well lately. I've become lazy and I end up trying to learn all my material the day before my teacher comes. I think this week I'm going to try to learn some other tabs on my own, or some simple ones at least. Any one know any simple songs I can find tabs of? I just need a simple song to practice with. I've grown so sick of playing the beginning to Weezer's "The Sweater Song" this past week.

As for my household, I've been demoted with my dishwashing duties. I've gone from a few days washing the dishes to only Friday nights. My parents decided they wanted something done to our house, so they made our drive way into a garage sorta thingy. Now it will protect our cars from the rain and stuff. And our garage is being turned into 2 small rooms. I think my parents are going to kick me out of my room as soon as my uncle moves out. And, my dad wants one of my relatives in Vietnam to come over and live in the other room. I've already had pretty bad experiences when people stay at our house for long periods of time. I probably haven't had my room for more than 3 months out of the year in the past few years. Every year someone comes over and I'm forced to give up my room. Why don't my parents just call my room, room that Irving isn't allowed to go in? Anyways, I'm hoping at least I get a new T.V. for my room and I get some privacy for awhile. I'm not sure when my uncle is moving out, and during this winter break my cousins/aunts/uncles from Chicago are planning to stay. All I'm expecting is Fun with a capital F. Haha.

Everyones seriously trying to persuade every one else to join all these clubs like key club and all this other crap. If you want to join, sure go ahead, but if your going to keep bothering me to join something, don't bother. I'm already signed up for one club and that should be good enough for this year. Everyones joining all these clubs with the reasoning that "Oh colleges look at that!", but keep in mind they also look at your grades. I'd rather stay home and study for my classes and get good grades then participate in billions of clubs and tire myself out trying to balance school and extra activities.

Anyways, Jameil and the other guys on junior varisty are supposed to have a basketball game today. I bet its already over with, and I wish a late good luck to the team. I don't even want to go to school tomorrow. I have all these quizzes tomorrow, homework due, and other crap like that. I'm supposed to go bowling with everyone who joined Friday Night Live. Nothing has really been happening in my life lately. I haven't really been getting better at the guitar, I've been neglecting school work, haven't really done anything on this blog or my other one, and I haven't had any crazy messed up drama going on in my life lately. Everything seems to be going well, and everything sounds just great to me. I'm supposed to be working on a Kairos webpage soon, if I can ever figure out how to work mp3.com. I'm off for now, so until next time...

Hmm, well I'm not sure what to blog about, but I feel like blogging. I guess I'll just blog a like.. 2nd introduction post. Where I post about my family and hobbies.. and I dunno, stuff in general.

Family: What's there to say? I have a Mom, Dad, little brother (9 yrs.), little sister (7 yrs.) and my Grandma babysits. Yeah I know.. it sucks, but my parents need someone to pick them up from school, and do laundry, and etc. Maybe when I can drive and stuff, we won't need Grandma! That'd be cool.

Well anyways. My little sister is like... one of those sisters that are spoiled. She gets whatever she wants, she almost never gets in trouble, and she's happy with her art classes. At home she spends her time playing with my little brother so more-or-less leaves me alone. But if my brother and I would fight, she would take his side.. *Curse her!* Oh, and she likes stuffed animals.

A lot of people say my little brother looks a lot like me. I don't really think so, for one, I am like.. white, white (I know majorly making fun of myself here) and he's really tanned. He's not as gifted as his older brother when it comes to school (Making up for making fun of myself) but he's great at parties. Pretty much every girl in my grade that knows him thinks he's cute, so I'm envious for his devilishly handsome looks. But other than that, he's just an ordinary little brother. Annoyingly, stupid. And I say that in the best possible way.

My Dad is like, the man of the house. Obviously, but he really takes his role seriously. When I ask him something, and then ask my Mom the same thing, he'd get mad at me for "going around" his back. Well yeah, he's better now than he used to be I guess. And when I say 'used' to be I mean before I left the blog. He may be the man of the house, but just like teenagers, his mood changes pretty quickly and unpredictably. One minute he'd be the worst guy in the world. The next he'd be acting like your best friend playing video games with a smirk on his face. He's a pretty confusing guy. But I love him. After all, he's my Dad.

Then there's my Mom. She's more like... the foundation of the family. When one of us has a problem, the first word that comes out of our mouths are "MOM!" or in some cases "Edith!" She works in Beverly Hills so she's met a lot of famous people. She's real cool, and I guess most of it is because she's so young. She's into the whole Hip-Hop scene so she likes P-Diddy, and all the big stars. And she even supports the kind of music I like. She once said to me, "I think it's nice that you're into alternative. Not so much screaming." She's Super-Mom. And yes, I take her for granted. When she'd go out on business or just for vacation we'd all fall apart. No made beds, dishes filling up the sink, and clothes on the floor. I'm pretty lucky to have a Mom like that.

And of course that leaves me. Pfth, who wants to read about me? Oh yeah... heh. Well, I like going on the computer, downloading and listening to music, and uhm... hanging with friends. Unforunately, I don't watch too much TV. When I have free time, I'm usually on the computer or listening to music, I don't really care though. What am I missing? What? America's at war?! Whoa!

Well I guess that's it.... I'll probably edit this later? I dunno, I feel like I'm missing something, but whatever it is, I'm sure it can wait. It's late and I need my beauty rest!

My homecoming post thing has already blown up real fast. I mean I really might consider running but this has gotten pushed already a little too far. I still have a lot of time to decide whether or not to run. I mean this whole idea was just a joke at first but its slowly become more of a reality. I even feel glad Joyce said she would run if I would, so I don't have to face the pressure all by myself. So yeah I really do appreciate all the support that people have given me, but yeah lets try to keep this on the low down, and I'll think before I actually make it official. Thanks everyone.

Man we learned this awesome lesson in Geometry today and it had to involve these line designs. As soon as I saw this in class I immediately thoug "layout design". I made the one above and Mark made some bigger and better ones as well. Those are so frickin awesome. I've been listening to some weird (different if you will) stuff. I've been listening to Hikaru Utada's - "Simple and Clean" from the Kindgom Hearts video game. It's such a good song, so go and download it. Oh yeah and you'll need Winzip to unzip it.

As people have probably already heard, yeah there was an incident at lunch today involving me and a friend of mine. I'm not gonna give out all the details but it's something I hope won't happen again. I've been feeling kind of down lately, which is I guess is a factor contributing to what happened today. I just want to say that what happened, happened, and I'm really sorry it did. I don't want anybody's pity or sympathy. I just want to be able to go to school tomorrow like any other day.

On a lighter note, I definately think Irving should run for Homecoming. I mean, who DOESN'T hate Irving? I can't think of anyone, and I can't think of any reason why anyone would NOT vote for him. In my opinion, he definately has a chance at winning this competition. Besides, I think the underdog deserves a chance to be in the spotlight. Anyways, I say, "Go get 'em TIGER!"

Irving has my vote too... and Melissa says she'd vote for you too..
Missy Mousey C (5:47:35 PM): irving for homecoming??
Missy Mousey C (5:47:38 PM): HELL YEAH!!!
See?
Good luck Irving. :-D Can I be your lady?

Oh yeah I've been thinking of running for Homecoming Lord this year. I've been kinda interested in runnning when I talked to Joyce and Monica and they said I should definitely run. Monica even said she would for sure vote for me. So that means I already have 1 vote, wohoo! You guys are probably thinking...

What the hell is wrong with him?
Does he think he can actually win?
It's official, he's gone crazy.

Yes yes, I am well aware that I might not have a chance in hell to win but hey if it would be fun. It's not really a matter of winning or losing, but wouldn't it be fun just to represent the underdogs for once? Every year the same guys run, and most of them are the so called "popular" ones. The cutest or popular guys, and the girl who shows enough skin are usually lord and lady for Homecoming. Last year during the voting (as observed in my homeroom...) some people just had to vote for people they didn't even know because they didn't know the people who ran. If I can get just steal 1 vote from a potential winner, I'll be more than satisfied. Tell me what you think, whether you think I've gone crazy, I should run, or I shouldn't run and save myself the embarassment. Hmm if I get enough support I'll probably run, and if you make fun of me I'll run anyways and vote for myself 500 times. Yes, its a win win situation.

Today was the club day or something. There were a bunch of clubs today in the quad and I joined Friday Night Live. Friday Night Live is just a club that goes out to places and has fun without the use of drugs, alcohol, and other bad things like man whores. Anyways a bunch of people joined so I guess I'll just join and go places and hang with my friends. School was crap today. During 3rd - 4th period I walked outside and all it was really smoky and dark. Theres a fire going on near us somewhere I guess, and the air just smelled real bad. Weird that around lunch time things cleared up. I hope the firefighters have it under control. Also today in 6th period (Life Skills) I had to write a letter to one of our local government men (Nick Pacheco). Turns out the city hall in front my house is where his offices are. I'll probably mail my letter to him sometime tomorrow. And the mailbox I'm going to put the letter in is like, half a block away from his offices.

Ah, my parents continue to make my life interesting.

Me: Mom, what does it mean when two girls give you like four dollars in quarters out of no where?
Mom: *Smiles* They like you, they wanted to talk to you
Me: But they were ugly.
Mom: So? It's always nice to have friends..
Me: So they wanted to talk to me huh... How the heck.. That's weird
Mom: Yeah, it's weird but you still should've talked to them.. *Slaps Julian on the head*
Me: Ow.. *rubs his head*

My parents and I were talking about stuff and my Dad was hilarious in a racial-way. Too bad I don't remember everything.. I'm still cracking up about it.

Mom: I don't care if the girl you like is black, as long as she loves you
Me: Yeah.....wait, she's not black.
Mom: I know, I'm just saying. If you like a black, filipino, white, whatever... as long as you love each other, I'm okay with that.
Dad: Ohh, don't go for the black ones. If you have a black kid, I'm not going to take care of him.
Mom: That's mean.
Dad: If you leave him with me, I'm going to take him to Africa.
Me: *Cracks up*
Dad: Yeah, I'm gonna bleach him. Throw him in a washer with some clorox three times a day.
Me: *Laughing*
Dad: Yeah, he'll have whiter skin than his teeth and eyes.
Mom: *Shakes head*
Me: I gotta tell my friends about this
Dad: Don't tell the black ones.

My Brother and Dad are silly monkeys. We went to the mall today and my brother chose to buy 'Gundam Battle Assault 2' for the Playstation. That's just stupid, considering we have burner and a mod chip for our Playstaion. The game was $40, and that SOCOM game for the ps2 was $60... and they decided to buy that Gundamned shit. We could've just burned that Gundumb crap from my friend and saved money and buy SOCOM instead. Curses. >_<

Oh yeah... It was my Dad's birthday two days ago. He's 43 now! =D

Happy Birthday! I LOOOOOOOOOVE YOU, PAPPY!

(Yeah, he'll probably never see this.)

I've got to say... I don't know what to say, but I'm gonna say something..........

SOMETHING

Okay seriously, I don't have anything cool to say but.. yesterday, I went to the mall with Mike and Richarded.. We did.. absolutely nothing for the whole day but there was this four year old making fun of Richarded.. and it was funny. Heh, poor Richarded.. poor poor Richarded. Uhh.. what else.. Oh yeah, we were so bored, we were doing all these cheesy dance moves. One of them is called the "Fax Machine" o__O.. Okay, :: buries himself ::
