I'm at work.
I'll be here for another half an hour.
I woke up late, again. It's been a trend over the last couple months. No matter what time I go to bed, I still can't get out of the bastard until I know that I'm risking losing my job if I lay any longer.
It's a bummer to wake up late anyway, since I live in Tacoma and work in Seattle. I don't drive for the time being, and it's a 2--hour long bus ride in each direction. This means, if I wake up at 7:30, which I usually do, and leave at 8 in the morning, I won't get home until 8 at night. Which is just enough time to eat some ramen and start getting ready to go to sleep. Not a very fulfilling life.
That being said, the bus is a load of bullshit. It costs $3 per direction (and I believe they said that the prices are going up really soon), it's slow, it's inconvenient, it smells bad and it's crowded full of loud and obnoxious people.
I just bought a truck, though. It's a '78 Toyota long bed pickup. That oughta cut my daily commute by two hours. That's a pretty good start, I'd say.
Also, the truck gets 20-something miles per gallon. Since Seattle is about 40 miles away, and gas is $2 a gallon, that means $4 per direction. I don't have to walk very far to wherever my truck is parked. I won't have to wait half an hour for my truck to show up once I get there. My truck only carries me and any passengers of my choosing. I can smoke in my truck. I don't give a shit about my carbon emissions or my impact on global warming.
There's just no real up side to the bus. Aside from that I can sleep on it, and it's just a little bit cheaper. The monetary value is instantly made up for in convenience with my personal people carrier, and with all that extra time, I'm sure I could find somewhere else, more comfortable, to sleep.
Whoo. A good rant about busses. Now I only have 15 minutes until I leave. |

There's a ramen shop here in Seattle called Samurai Noodle.
And it's damn well worth $10 per bowl of ramen.the fox of which i most resemble:  full |

Maybe I'll do more some other time...But I'm at work right now and these numbers won't crunch themselves. |

I need to start working out again. I keep on starting, going for a week, then drinking heavily and decided "fuck it, I'll do it tomorrow." Then, tomorrow never seems to come and I'm just wasting away with my sea of alcohol slowly eroding my mind. Then again, that's not all bad. I just feel really stupid lately.
Last night I got drunk. I decided that I was going to give myself another tattoo. The ink wouldn't stick, though, so I figured fuck that, too.
I'm getting kicked out at the end of the month. I still have no job. The only option I have right now is that my ex-girlfriend, Coila's most recent boyfriend (the guy she dumped me for) offered to let me live there for a little. He's so sweet (seriously). I might have to do that, but I don't really want to. He's got enough problems without my help.

| » harvest MOON!!! |
|---|
I spent almost the enitre day yesterday playing Harvest Moon. I am currently in the first Summer, and I own 2 cows, 4 chickens and a shitload of corn. Ellen's affection rate for me is getting pretty high. I think I'll have to marry her. The nice thing about Ellen is that she likes eggs. And being the proud owner of four chickens, I have lots of eggs. This game is addictive.
Also, in yesterday's news, my friend was being threatened by a bunch of scrawny Korean guys. My friend is a pussy.
I got drunk.
My girlfriend has recently decided to be a bitch.
*edit* apparantly, because lately I've decided to be unparalleled asshole. I was not aware.*
I tried to play the Resevior Dogs drinking game using only a Coke, I chose Mr. Pink and I've decided that if I ever play the game with alcohol...I'm not choosing Mr. Pink. He says "fuck" way too damn much for me to keep up with.
That will be all...Have a nice day.

I got tanked last night. I had an unfortunate morning. It was very cold.
Recently, I've dropped out of college. Today, I got fired from work.
I don't think I'm upset about losing my job. I kind of think that its a good thing. The problem, though, is that my lazy ass needs to be out of my house by the end of April. Can't escape without a job. Maybe I'll get run over tomorrow. That'd be great.

| » Bally's, cigarettes, a girfriend and a four hosed hookah. |
|---|
Lately these things have been consuming all my time. On the bright side, I'm getting a lot fitter (due to my frequent trips to Bally's gym), I have a sex life (woo-hoo!) and I still smoke too much. In recent news, I've begun a huge war with most of my family. I've decided that I'm dropping out of college (at least for the time being) so I can get a full time job and move out. They (the family) are very much against this decision and if you've ever met my family you'd know that any sort of individualism or expression is most definately frowned upon. I don't care what they think right now, though. I've been complacent long enough, and I've suffered through 2 years of incessant nagging from my obnoxious grandmother and if I stay much longer, I may kill someone.
Also, its been almost 2 weeks since I've drank.
Fuckin' crazy, innit?

1. How many keys are on your key chain?
house key, bike lock key, handcuff keys, and another house key...How many is that?
2. If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
That depends on how long until I die.
3. What curse word do you use the most?
I'm not sure. Is "cunt" a cuss word?
4. Do you own an iPod?
no
5. Who on your Myspace "Top 8" do you talk to the most?
Kristen. I work with her.
6. What time is your alarm clock set for?
Alarm clock? I don't have an alarm clock, I have an elderly Asian woman.
7. Do you wear flip-flops even when its cold outside?
Do I wear flipflops ever?
8. Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Depends on what its a picture of. If its a picture of something not me, then I'd like to take it. But I do prefer others to take pictures of me rather than myself.
9. What was the last movie you watched?
Black Mask 2, city of masks. It was the worst movie ever.
10. Do any of your friends have children?
None that I've been told about.
11. If you won the lottery, whats the first thing you would buy?
a drink.
12. What CD is currently in your CD player?
Against Me! its three of their albums all nicely pirated off the internet and smooshed onto one disk
13. Do you prefer regular or chocolate milk?
chocolate.
14. Has anyone told you a secret this week?
yes, but I already knew it. Sooo. I guess that makes it not so much of a secret...But it was presented as such.
15. When was the last time someone hit on you?
Earlier today.
16. Who was the last person to call you?
Emily. She was asking if Lauren moved yet.
17. What is your favorite ride at an amusement park?
a good rollercoaster. Like the Raging Bull at the Six Flags in Chicago.
18. Do you think people talk about you behind your back?
yes.
19. How many siblings do you have?
4 brothers.
20. Have you ever been so drunk that you threw up?

24. Have you ever eaten snow?
yes. Its pretty flavorless.

a foot away from my leg. When someone calls it vibrates, and if the phone is in my pocket when that happens it makes me jump...and them I smile.
27. Have you ever cried in public?
Maybe...I would've been drunk when it happened. Either that or I was about 4 years old.
28. Are you currently wanting any piercings or tattoos?
Yep. want my arm sleeved, and then I want my piercing gauged a little bigger.
29. Do you believe that the guy should pay on the first date?
no. Only if he wants to. I did. I suppose that that's a bit uncharacteristic of me, though.
30. Have you ever dated someone out of your race?
Not really dated but I've fucked a few. Well, then again, what's out of my race exactly. I mean, I'm a quarter Japanese so does that mean all white people are out of my race? Should I take all sides of my ethnicity into consideration, call that my race? and everyone else who's not German, English, Lithuanian and Japanese is out of my race? Or does it mean I look white, so I am white...so white is my race? Maybe

I wish I had nothing to wish for.
39. If you could enter a celebrity's mind, whose would you choose to enter?
No one's. Fuck them...Well, wait. am I allowed to control their mind when I enter it? If so, I'd choose Bill Gates and make his body give me all his money. Then I'd divorce his wife...
40. Do you sleep on your side, tummy, or back?
Depends on how much I've had to drink.
41. What character from a TV show or movie most reminds you of yourself?
People tell me I look like Lupin the 3rd. I disagree.

I've been told I look like Malcolm McDowell (when he was in A Clockwork Orange), Mr. Fantastic in the new Fantastic Four movie and a few others I don't really bother to remember...
I don't think I look like Mr. Fantastic, and I don't think Mr. McDowell needs the disrespect of being called physically similar to me...so I guess I disagree with all of this. People always think I look like someone. I wish they'd stop that.
43. Do you dance?
Not well.

Yes. In mine, I never wake up before I hit. That is always unpleasant.

Gettin' better, always better.
Did some new tattoos yesterday. I'm getting good, I think. Maybe I should start charging for ink and needles...
edit* Yes, I know the tattoo is the most generic tattoo in the history of, but that's what she wanted so don't blame me.
And also, I did a nearly finished painting.

I figure since someone already grabbed a quote from when I posted this on MySpace, it must be good enough to post again here.
1. Money: Is your god.
2. Sex : lots of squishy noises followed by a big mess.
3. Relationship: I occassionally think that I want another relationship...then I realize, "No. I'm just drunk and horny."

5. Power : Is lots of fun to abuse.
6. Marijuana : Smells like cat piss on a pine tree.
7. Crack : Can be easily acquired in the Seattle Center.
8. Food: is delightful. If served right, its better than sex.
9. The President: Is pretty stupid.
10. War : is an overused term. Seriously, a war on drugs? How will the drugs fight back? Its not a fair fight.
11. Cars : are too expensive.
12. gas prices: Are fine. I really don't care.

28: Vanilla Ice : What about him?
29: Porta Potties: Can be great sources of free toilet paper when you run out at home. Just bring a lighter and melt the plastic where the lock on the TP is. Remove the lock and take the TP.
30: High school: An extended period of mind-numbing indoctrination followed by an immediate feeling of worthlessness.
31: Bad Sex : Can be read about in several of my blogs.

|---|
Google is amazing. So is my unconscious mind.
In my dreams lately, I've been having a recurring theme where people would mention a Veda object. The object would change depending on the dream, but there were things like a Veda card, a Veda Tree, etc..
Anyways, I went and googled veda today, because I was sure the word was familiar (aside from being very close to Vader), and Google told me that it was Yogic Knowledge or something like that.
Neat, huh?
So I've decided on the appropriate course of actions for these dreams. I'm going to go out and find some Yogic Masters...
And kick the shit out of them for interfering with my sleep.
