Aug. 30th, 2005 @ 05:18 pm Packing for CHINA!!!
Current Mood: dorky
Current Music: Lifehouse
Well Thursday is the big day. I'm gonna be going to CHINA!! Visiting all the family over there ... should be interesting trying to communicate with them, since my Chinese language abilities just plain out sucks! I'm so psyched right now. Traveling is so much fun ... and despite what people say, I like airline food. It just adds to the whole experience! YAHOO!!!

Oh and definitely being away from school is another plus. I don't envy you guys and gals who're taking classes like VLSI and stuff now ... sad times sad times.

Man I really need to figure out my housing for next semester ...

Wow I love fun times! This week has been hell and heaven.

Sooooo busy with work and my presentation stuff ... so that was full of stress. Then there was the feeling after finishing the presentation on Friday ... PHEW!

GREAT TIMES!! And then just going and chilling with some of my intern buds down here Friday night, watching some mad beer pong games, playing with bamboo sticks, watching some of them drunk call other phones, and of course eating onion rings and a milk shake at 3am! Not to mention fun movies and admiring the REAAAAAALLY nice house he has ... all I can say is my god ...

On that note ... today's been great too! Went jet skiing in Miami with Jason and Luke and saw dolphins during it! It was tons of fun ... I love getting wedgies when hitting those choppy waves ;) Later tonight ... tennis and a movie ...

I'm kinda feeling sad that summer is going to be over soon ... damn ...

Well ... today I realized that South Beach truly is a nude beach! :D And damn ... it was niiiiiiiiice ... lots of hot girls with all the right things in the right places ;) Thank god I have some prescription sunglasses hehe

hehe yes ... so if you couldn't tell, today was beach day! Went down there and just chilled with some football and crashing through waves and just laying out. And after we were all thoroughly famished and starving to death, we decided to go to eat at a Chinese restaurant over there in Miami. Food was so so but it hit the spot. Now I'm just changing and then heading over to the other houses for some board games and later off to play pool!

Oh the whole dinner and car ride we were talking about Chinese and Indian accents. MAN IT IS HARD TO MIMIC THEM! We definitely tried a lot ...

Man it's definitely the life out here ...

Oh sand really gets everywhere don't you agree?

Well I haven't updated this in ages! Let's see ... a lot has happened. Mostly just more life of liesure though :) Dad and sister came down July 4th weekend and we went to the Everglades. MAN IT WAS HOT! Saw lots of wildlife and gators and I got to ride an airboat and walk in the actual Everglades water! WAHOO ...

Yea, work is cool and yesterday we went to a Florida Marlins game ... hard work :D http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/photos?photoId=797119&gameId=250707128 ESPN caught us in action there ... GO MOTO!

Ok ... I'll update more later. Oh I also have my webalbum up with shots since I've been down here. Links in my AIM profile.

Peace out for now

Jun. 14th, 2005 @ 07:36 pm Blurb of the day
Current Mood: calm like an ocean the pool
Current Music: ice cream truck music
Blargh! That's a good "Blargh!" by the way, not a bad "Blargh!" because bad ones aren't fun. So far it's been getting more interesting at work. Learning more code names and getting all my hardware and software stuff. Really cool. Besides that, the weather here has been awesome! Really sunny and warm lately. Definitely comfortable to go swimming in the pool in this kind of weather.

Whoa! An ICE-CREAM truck just drove past my townhouse!! I didn't think they really existed ... especially in apartment complexes! OOOOH speaking of apartments, my roomate moved in! He's a tall Serbian guy named Alecks. Really cool and so far everything is good. It's like the United Nations over here with all the different ethnic interns we have...

And so far, all us interns get along pretty well. Today was the last batch of interns (only 9 new ones) so we're all set for the summer. Man so many of them are so smart! (MIT, Cornell, and some are still in high school!)

Anywho ... that's my short blurb of the day. To be continued ... in a galaxy ... far far away ...

p.s. - Mr. and Mrs. Smith exudes sexuality ... but other than that ... it was a so-so movie

Just got my high speed connection set up today. HIGH SPEED IS AWESOME! I think it's the best invention ... besides a computer ... and all the other really cool stuff in this world like electricity ...

Yea ... also The Longest Yard is actually a really funny movie. hehe it definitely fit the mood I was in today. Oh and new clothes for clubbing from the mall ... that place is HUGE! ;) Always a good time whenever something like THAT happens!

Soooo yea ... besides that I did nothing productive today. I love it when I can do that.

I need help deciding a new hobby to take up while I'm down here. It's basically gonna be either Kite Boarding or getting certified for scuba diving. Or hell just both of them! Kite boarding looked sweet because it seems a lot like snowboarding but on the ocean and with a giant stunt kite propelling you everywhere. AWESOME! And scuba is just scuba ... amazingly fun.

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!

Well it's been a good week or so since I last updated and a HELL of a lot happened. Lets see ... I went to South Beach, started work at Motorola, met a bunch of cool other interns, am finally settled in my apartment, my sister came down from Chicago, and we drove up north to Tampa to visit my cousins that I haven't seen since I was in about 3rd grade .... yea ... BUSY!

Oh and the best thing ... I SAW AN ARMADILLO AS ROADKILL TODAY! It was all small and armored and dead along the highway coming back through gator alley aka FL-75.

Yea! Oh and at work on Thursday, Motorola paid to rent out 2 showings of Star Wars Episode III at a realllllly fancy movie theater up near Boca Rotan. HUGE and it looked like a giant Egyptian palace or something! Yep they paid for tickets, popcorn, and a pop ... and the work hours we missed during the day because of it :) I love Moto! Anywayyyys ... hmmm ... let's see ... power apparently cut off sometime while my sister and I were visiting my cousins. Oh and man my cousins are fun! 5 girls and the youngest is 5 yro and reallllly funny. hehe ... man I'm a sucker for little kiddos. Well off to eat some Chinese food!!! YAY HAPPY YAY!

Current Mood: excited
Current Music: Trust Company - Deeper Into You
All I can say is WOW! The place is beautiful ... huge lake in the back, apartment is basically a townhouse with the garage on the 1st floor, and rooms on the 2nd floor. Reallllly nice and lots of people around here. Not sure what's going on with my roomate though ... it seems like the place is all mine ... for now! Got my own computer room, spacious bathroom and bedroom, and hopefully I'll have some cool pics to show soon. I feel important now hehe. Oh did I mention that the pool is right behind me ... yep I have quite the nice view ;) *whistles*

Today was great. I didn't have to drive all day like the last 2 days! The drive took a total of about 18ish hours. Long but not too bad. Lots of cool scenery and valleys, plains, mountains, and palm trees :D I definitely realized that Florida is a different place when I went to eat with my Dad today, and then came out to the car and found that the temperature was 103 degrees Fahrenheit ... insanely hot but not too muggy. Oh and we found this Japanese buffet with unlimited sushi today! About 8 dollars per person and it was AMAZING sushi and hibachi and ice cream ... life was complete :)

Now to just settle in. And find out about high speed internet.

May. 17th, 2005 @ 07:39 pm blast from the past
Well today I've got a lot of packing, and I'm meeting up with a friend that I really haven't talked to since GRADE SCHOOL! So weird ... he called me up out of the blue this weekend and said we should meet up ... so we are today. It's going to be interesting to see how much we've all changed. Anywho ... almost Florida time! I'm really psyched cuz it looks like I'll be living in a townhouse with it's own garage, pools, tennis courts, and everything! On the run ... hope they have high speed connections there ...

Weekend was great, and my whole family was in. Hannah Banana was so darn cute that it's just ridiculous! hehe Next time I see her she'll be 1yro and we'll be in China. EXCITING! Ok ... now I really have to go. To be continued...

Current Mood: ecstatic ... what's that?
Current Music: nothing cuz I'm about to crash
Well I'm back! Where from you might ask? Well let me tell you! Went to Toronto early Monday and got back late Tuesday. Why? To eat Chinese and Vietnamese food silly! (oh and the Buffulo chicken wings ... in Buffalo, NY hehe) Yes ... it IS ridiculous and now I'm super stuffed. Soooo much good food up there. Woweeee! I think Asians have a special relationship with their foods. Dumplings, pho, noodles ... ;D

Anyways, enough about food. Today basically consisted of me going and doing more errands and figuring out my housing for Florida. And now I know it! I'm going to be living in St. Tropez at Plantation! It's gonna be a 3 bedroom apartment apparently ... I wonder how my roomates will be ... but yea we have 2 pools and 2 tennis courts or something like that! Workout room and all that other good stuff. It's gonna be GREAT! Just figuring out what stuff I should bring down there now.

Oh and here's MORE news! My whole family (2 sisters, bro in law, and niece) are coming into town this weekend so YAY! It's gonna be great seeing them and playing with Hannah Banana. Babies are funny little critters :D

Meeting up with Steve, Matt, Katie, and maybe Dee and other Katie today at 5PM. Anyone else is free to come on by!! Chili's at 5pm. Macedonia one. I know I know ... it's not the usual Applebee's ... what can I say ... being adventuresome?

And that's a sum up of my life these last couple of days. Suuuuweeeeet!

Current Mood: optimistic and determined
Current Music: Dishwalla - Moisture
Well I just got back from meeting up with my good high school friend Joe. It was really good to see him. We met up at the usual hangout spot (Applebee's), and just talked for a couple hours. It was fun talking about what other hs buds were up to, funny college stories, and just the experiences of the year. While we were there, this girl came by who was a freshman when me and Joe were seniors at the good ol' WJHS! We all chatted for a bit, and it was just astounding to see how things had changed. She's a senior now and going to go to Cincinatti! Oh apparently, she thought my other friend Matt had changed and that it looked like he was loosing his hair now (she had a crush on him when we were around, as did most other girls at our hs). Anyways, that made me laugh. Receding hairline ... hehehe This coming from the guy with a couple gray hairs himself! AIYAAAA!!!! But yea, it was good to reminisce old times and talk about new ones. Glad that I got to see Joe before I left and before he left. He's going to Daytona with 6000 U of Dayton peeps tomorrow ... damn that's gonna be fun! Then he's off to Illinois for an internship ;p Yep ... pretty much all my buds will be out of the state or country this summer. changes changes changes!

Anyways, all this talking and the fact that 3 years of college are done have got me thinking. I'm so anxious to just get out there, but I mean really now ... where will we all be in ANOTHER 3 years? Out of school and doing what!??!

Then the deeper questions come like what kind of job will I have? Will I start my startup company sometime soon? What about meeting that special someone who I'd love to start a family with? Will it ever happen for me? Am I ready for any of this??? ARGHHHH!! Stupid summers ... good cuz of the break, but they always get me into this mood of wondering about my future and possibilities ... I guess it's all the free time to think, and the fact that a lot of my friends have girlfriends.

Anyways, according to Joe I should have fun, party, go to strip clubs, meet girls, and get involved down in Florida. I think he's got some good points. I think I'll work on the have fun, meet girls, and get involved things. I feel like making a vow! From this point on, I'm getting more involved! I think that I probably should if I ever want to meet that special girl out there ...

Anyways, enough for tonight of my babbling. I'm happy to be me. Now it's just time for some a few changes!

FRIDAY FRIDAY! Hmmm .. it just doesn't have nearly the appeal it used to during school. Especially since everyday now is so relaxed ... I just feel unproductive. Life rolls on though. Hopefully I'll get to meet up with a couple of my HS buds tomorrow night ... boy that's going to be fun ;)

Speaking of TGIF ... I remember the days when there used to be awesome shows on Friday nights! Darn it ... where'd they go!?!?!?! Boy meets world ... urkle ... legends forever in my mind.

Now on a totally different train of thought. Ever work out too hard? Ever feel like you can't move the next day. Well that's me today. Woopity doo dah! "Pain is weakness leaving the body."

Well that's all for today. Here's the liunatic signing off ... buzz whirrr ... snap!

Current Mood: squirtle!
Current Music: Psycho Spaz
Scrubby wipes are great inventions. You can pull em out and just swish away dirt spots just like that! Scrub scrub scrub ....

Also, I think going home for summer and breaks means you automatically gain like 10 lbs. It's RIDICULOUS! So much good food and rest ... why can't life be like that ALL the time. Not to mention, it's usually Chinese food when I get back so it's super yummy. Oh and the occassional Chinese buffet with some super sushi thrown in to make it an even better time ;) I've been to my favorite one here twice since I got back ... so since last friday ... wow ...

And here's my last info for the day ... a famous proof from long ago ...

Girls = Time X Money
Time is Money
... so Girls = Money^2
Money = root of all Evil
... so Girls = sqrt(Money^2)
Therefore, Girls = Evil!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I definitely get distracted w/o school around to keep me in line ... rawr!

And on another note, I now am going to bed and wake up as a handsome prince ... who the hell am I kidding! I just like sleep. GNITE FARE BLOGGY WORLD!
