I can't take my eyes off of you...

The Blower's Daughter - Damien...

Where did my Saturday go?

I am trying to study but I'm still feeling pretty sick. I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow to get hardcore with it. Laundry is almost done.

Now all I'm doing is just listening to my pandora playlist, folding clothes, and cleaning up my room.

Cleaning day tomorrow. Also gonna go to the Sac vs. Davis baseball game at 1. Then gym. Throw in a study session somewhere there and that'll be my Sunday.

Last night I made a bad mistake. I'm still feeling bad about it today. I could barely lift at the gym today without feeling like crap. I won't do that again.

I'm pretty excited for this Friday and Saturday nights. 2 shows... back to back. I'm enjoying the show so far.

The Tick. SMH

my ears are ringing.

CNY parade was freakin' sweet... With millions of people watching... I had so much fun. I'll probably end up doing it again next year...

Shutter Island

Really good movie. Especially since it's partly about Abnormal Psychology. It really keeps you going til the end. I liked it. 4.5/5.

I never laughed so long and so hard until tonight. (h o l d i n g b a c k) That's what she said. hahaha.

I don't know what else to say. I'm going to sleep. I'm gonna make sure I don't oversleep tonight and miss class tomorrow. Although school is just sounding really dumb right now. I just want to get back to my 4 day weekends. That's pretty much all I'm gonna be thinking about until 3pm tomorrow afternoon.

Chinese New Year Parade is this weekend. I'm pretty excited to march in a 16 person snare line. Haha. It's gonna be sweet and a hella fun night.

Until my next post...

Gonna get back to studying after this.

I need to find a classy girl... Ugh. I don't even know where to start. Ok. random. done.

tired.

Seriously, just don't lead me on.

Be real. If you say you're gonna do something, follow through with it. Either that or just don't say you're going to do it.

I'm getting tired of it because it happens to me all the time.

4 weeks in...

I've been blogging less and less lately. Maybe since my life has gotten progressively less interesting.. haha. maybe.

Anyway, just to keep my blog updated with my life....

I got a new phone after my 2 years having an iPhone. I got the MyTouch 3G from T-Mobile. I like it so far, but there are a few things I miss from my iPhone. Oh well, it was definitely time for an update. Out with the old in with the new.

I've been concentrating more at school lately. Such as not daydreaming whenever I find the lecture boring or not going on Facebook during class. I think it's all the caffeine I take in during the week that helps me not fall asleep in lecture/lab... etc.

Me and my partner have finally came up with an appropriate research project. Our goal is to conduct a study which we find a correlation between the amount of work and job satisfaction one has to what their academic performance and perceived importance of education is to them. We hope get approved by the Human Subjects board so we can start our research soon... Which reminds me, I need to finish my ethics certificate ASAP!

I'm still going to the gym 5-6 times per week. It's been more than 3 months and I feel much better not just physically, but mentally/emotionally. My concentration & psychological state of mind has gone up as a result. I feel better, and that's all that matters to me. I'm going to continue this for as long as I find it beneficial to myself.

The last thing on my mind is a certain person. I even remember blogging about her last year. I don't think anyone would be able to guess who this person is because it's been one secret I haven't told ANYONE. Yes, I tell people some secrets about my personal life, but this secret has been my true secret. I actually think about this person a few times a week just because I miss her. I've known her for the past few years and she's always been a sweetheart to me. I don't think she'll ever get the chance to know how I feel.

Yuppp.... Rod was aight, got to see some really good winter shows although I didn't get a chance to see my alma mater. Maybe I'll get to see them at the Arm/FF shows. Anyway, now I'm off to Vallejo to see my fambam. Gotta love 4-day weekends, every weekend. Happy V-day!

Valentine - Ryan Leslie

Haven't blogged in a week...

...Mainly because I've been really active on my Twitter lately.

I so wish I could be at the Jack's Mannequin concert right now.

I'm gonna be in Vallejo tomorrow. Gonna get to see my Mommy! Yay!

Anyway, my week has been so-so. I actually didn't drive to school at all this week, I started biking to school since it sorta is faster than driving ONLY when parking is bad. Anywho, it's something new to do before and after school so I welcome it. Only downside is that I bought a $153 parking permit for a reason, so I might as well use it right? Lol.

Psyc 102 is starting to kick into gear. Me and my partner get to design a psychological research experiment as our term project and we get to (ab)use psyc 1, 5, & 8 students in our sample. Lol. I finally feel like an upperclassman now that I get to study these kids who're taking the lower division psyc classes.

I'm enjoying my 4-day weekends. I feel rejuvenated. School is fun again. Sac State Winter is doing alright. This semester will be tough, but I'm ready for it. I'm gonna apply to graduate in the Fall 2010 and I can now see that my undergrad years are almost done! With aspirations of grad school, doing well in school is my focus right now... BUT, it doesn't hurt that there are like 10 cute girls (i.e., distractions) in each of my classes. Haha! Maybe I'll one day get the courage to ask one of them out on a date. 'Til then, I'll just stay under the radar... Man, I love college.

and then there were 5

So now, there are 5 snares in the SSWE.

I have ZERO complaints about slimming down to 5 snares. However, I do miss having Davyan in the snareline... he's basically ripping the quadline a new one now. Still some dirt in the snareline but we're close to getting everything together. Now the line is at 5-3-5... It's the perfect indoor size for us (I think). Woot woot!

BTW, I dropped Psyc 107...My bad Darren! This just means I have Mondays and Fridays off now. 4 day weekends every week! Nice. Still, T,Th are my long days.

To: Mom

I can't take this anymore.

I hate the fact that I am such a drain on my Mother. It really bothers me that my Mom works so hard everyday, even after she retired in 2002 just to support me going to college. My Mom does so much for me, and all I want to do is make things easier for my Mom. My Mom, with her bad knee, goes out of her way to make my life here in Sacramento livable. I wish I could repay her somehow right now, because things are so difficult for her. She works day in and day out, just so I could go to college. All I want to do is thank her, and it breaks my heart that she still goes day in, day out.... breaking her back for me. I love you Mama. With all my heart. I owe you everything.

All I want to do is make you proud of your son.

Love, Raymond.

School is...

...going well. One of my classes is basically a graduate school-level course so I basically will have my hands full with that and 16 units. I'm not sure how this whole work thing is going to pan out with my school schedule, winterline practices & shows, family, and social life. Other people do the work thing on top of all that, but usually they end up with crappy grades. I'm not sure if a few $$$ extra per week is worth the potential drop in grades. Plus, so far, I'm very happy with my grades at Sac State (mainly from not having a job and being able to focus on school). I don't know whether or not to pursue a part time job. Plus, I have no idea who's hiring.

Ay Caramba.
