happy halloween

The Ned Flanders costume was a huge success according to me. The outfit was an exact match of the authentic Flanders. Not too many people realized who I was though. I'd have to say that about 30% of the crowd got who I was. I'm guessing that my skin tone caused some to think I was just another mexican with a mustache.

For Halloween, I'm dressing up as Ned Flanders. Got a sweet costume today.

A week in the life of...

Sick and tired of posts like this?

I paid some bills. I went to NYC. Twas a ton of fun.



That city kicks some major ass. It's an urban rainforest. All of the known varieties of human, and some that haven't been discovered, hang out in that city. Kinda scary making an 8am flight on your own. The subway system is simple yet highly formidable. I'm riding a train at 6am with a bunch of pissed off new yorkers. It's monday morning and no one is going to hold my hand and talk me through the transfers needed to get to JFK. Sure there's only one line that gets to the airport, but that line has like four different trains. Of course I don't get up early enough to leave time for miscalculations. If I end up on one of the trains that doesn't go all the way to JFK, I miss my flight.

Should I be so uptight about missing flights? Is it really that big a deal? I have the feeling that a missed flight can only be super horrible if you can't get another one that day. A missed appointment might be bad too. Hey, I'm a student without many cares. I can be different and not care about making it to my plane on time. I can be that damn-ass-badder cool. I dunno, I don't think I can do it. I will keep it real by never getting to the airport more than 50 mins early. That makes me as
cool as kids who live in atwater.

Right, so I end up making a blind faith transfer that proves divine. I think if I stayed on my first train, I would have missed my plane. I got on the plane and sat next to a loud and messy older dude. I think he was somewhat of a real estate tycoon, without the class. He was funny though.

I just lost a huge pot.

School drags on and on and on and on. Stupid I know.

The trial of Saddam

It's right up there with the trial of Galileo, Jesus, and any black person in the Jim Crow south. Why don't they just call it what it is? It's his last hurrah. It's not a trial. It's the last time he gets to talk to someone besides himself. After the "trial," it just gonna be him and some rats.

I heard somewhere that his lawyers think he has a shot to beat the charges. Now those are some damn good lawyers. The never-say-die kind that I would love to have on my side. You know, just in case I turn into a dictator/mass-murderer.

Comingling

I took two vicodins before class this morning. It feels nice, but I kinda wish I took three. I know the pain pills are bad for you and pretty addictive. That's why I only dabble in them about twice a year. I love that buzzing feeling I get on the soles of my feet.

The rain is coming down in thunderous waves. I don't really like rain, but I love thunder and lightning.

By the way, school sucks.

2:57 A.M.

These two dudes are shit talking me on pokerstars.com. Both are from Puerto Rico. They are bagging on me in Spanish, and when i defend myself in Spanish, they bag on me in English. Obviously, my Spanish isn't that great.

Fuck you Christopher Columbus

When I was a kid, I used to think it was cool to have the same name as the legendary world explorer. Who wouldn't? Christopher Columbus is treated like a God in most elementary school lesson plans. Well, now I'm glad that I live in a part of this country that doesn't celebrate Columbus Day. I didn't even know it was Columbus day today.

What really creeps me out is that some people actually defend Columbus. I guess slaughtering, enslaving, and subjugating an entire hemisphere of people is commendable in some circles.

sad

I'm still recovering from the loss to UCLA on Saturday. Please be patient, this depression will pass.

You wish you were a student

I have hit that perfect place between too fucked up and juuuust right. If you tell me something right now, i will definitely believe you. Let's start out with the fact that the Shortstop is playing fucking RAVE music tonight. WTF?? N-word wtf?? I think that's a rock and roll bar, right? I guess they have djs every night. And those djs are granted creative immunity, which is cool, but why does Wed. night have to be dissed like this?

On the other hand,
El Compadre is muy bueno.

Baseball playoffs, day off of school, possible trip to wienershnitzel?
I agree.

I like this

sunday is lazy

I played two softball games today. Lost both of them. I'm really getting a good vibe at short these days. I have the perfect 13 inch rawlings softball glove. It's an extension of my hand. Great fit, great feel.

Cal Football

Arizona vs. California, 4pm pacific, TBS.

Looking forward to this game. Arizona is supposed to be much better than the Bears previous opponents. They are probably going to run some unique defenses. I hope Ayoob is ready to find the holes. I also hope that Lynch is back in all his glory. Imagine how awesome the team will be if Lynch and Forsett are healthy. Two NFL backs in the same backfield?
