好像我忘了..

已經過了三個多月了.......
我們改變的有很多. 但是有很多沒有改變.
好像在日程里我一個鐘頭的空都沒有.
我以為我能學三們中文課, 有空的時候上班, 回家打籃球.
沒想到我得練習恨多時點的中文...做功課.

現在的生活不錯..沒有一個叫kevin的人常跟我打架.
我們有自己的房子....我不要聽別人常常說電話.
比出年來說我們的分別很大..可是也有不好的感覺..

ｔｏｂｅ　ｃｏｎｔｉｎｕｅｄ．．．

@ WORK.

So I am stuck in this building in downtown davis, 2nd and D on the 2nd floor where Hunan Restaurant is. What am I doing? Just chillin' around while the printer is printing up many many posters (well.. just 10 at the moment). Since it's going to take forever and I've wasted a good amount of time cause when you print something that big and that many... it takes a HUGE amount of time just to start up the printing.. at first I thought it just wasn't working. I've waited over 20 minutes early and nothing. Turns out that after I took a walk around downtown, after these 2 dudes came up to me and talked to me about some environmental issues that will create many jobs--which I quickly declined to sign up for, it began printing. I'm in a tight crunch because I need to get 30 of them printed by Monday, right now I have 2 posters.

Job ain't easy but man I gotta get paid!...so I might as well be posting here when I am doing this.

Its been a while but what can I say.. moving takes it toll, but we're finally here. Primero Grove looks awesome. I started my new job today @ Theatre&Dance as Webmaster/Publicity. I've got a bunch of new keys now...way too many for me but whatever.

This place still doesn't have internet but that's the least of my worries.

I've been meaning to update with pictures but it looks like it's passed its point of importance now. Heres the low down:

I'm finally 21.

I'm in davis working basically full time until school starts. Find me @ Dance n Theatre 2nd floor! I'll be learning to drive a cart and print posters and post them up and update the website and everything else.

Can't wait for ppl to come back! Happy Moon Festival yall...but yeah..
full moon = bad luck? Well... see for yourself...

Whats my name??

Lately I've been going back and forth as usual working at my internship and hooping it up in Dream League on Sundays. Everything is still at a stand still you know, after work I don't have anything planned. I'm just trying to make the most of it instead of rotting in the apartment by myself... I mean... I don't want ya'll finding me dead there now, think of the deposit fee!

So. I'm pretty much ready to go move in the new place, but that won't happen 'til the 12th. So here I wait. I lost television and now the shared internet is falling apart..... *shakes fist* it made me appreciate more of the time I have online like I lost a love one or something but not really. Uh.

OK. So the thing is I move out on the 31st, move in on the 12th. I'm planning to either 1)stay with a friend and move my stuff at friends place OR 2)tell internship people I wont be there and put all my crap somewhere. I'm still not sure which one but it will be done next week cuz u know... monday is the 25th ( BTW I'm turning 21)

LIKKKE... I also have another internship for the ARC ( GYM) but they have yet told me a time where we start to film the training video (really slow.. I know).

I'm looking for a work study job ALSO, which I don't know if it will be too much for me... but yeah I just remembered how I pulled it off in the Spring .. which tells me that: when motivated I can achieve so much.

So now I need the motivation, but whether I like it or not I WILL get a job by the end of the year. I'm trying to see if Theatre and Dance have any vacancies...but something that's worth it. If they pay me $8/ hr I might as well work at the ARC (which I really don't mind).

Today.

Today I woke up and showered (one of those few..) I'm feeling all baddd I have no idea why but maybe it's because I don't have a pillow here, and the temperature is all over the place. Darren and David dropped by and we just went to wendy's! Thought bout going to the outlets but I realized I was really broke... talk about college experience ..! but yeah. After they bounced I went to campus to get my internship form back. I'm going to say this now just so it is known: The ART building advisors/faculty are terribly slow/lazy!

I emailed them frequently and I did not get an email til after I dropped by. My form was incompletely filled out. The advisor didn't copy all my pages. So NOW I have to email them and ask what the heck they want after I am done w. the internship (paper/journal/ or something).

After that I dropped by the computer room to print coupons for 1 cent sharpies at office max!... checked the jobs.ucd site and found out the place was next to art building so after I stop by the arcade/bookstore (btw they got 2 pump it up machines now!!) I went back and ask bout the jobs I saw online..well...I forgot the actual job description but yea someone was on vacation and the technical director was not in my priority to talk to. I want this marketing/advertising job but I mentioned stage crew to them. I'mma go back there next week.

After my 90 min parking near campus, dropped by office max and grabbed some bargains. Walked around and came back to the apartment with nothing to do. HOT. Internet died for a bit which drove me nuts. Not really much to say but I'd do anything just to have something to do! kn'w mean??

I took some pix of stuff I need/want to get rid of but I have no duo stick reader to upload rite now...

LOL which reminds me I saw some desk, chair, and mat I want to get at office max. I really want a bigger/ more friendly desk cuz u kno that's how I like to work. The one I have now is compact and although I can put a lot of stuff UNDER I can't scoot in ya kno. And screw the pull out board for the keyboard.

Don't kno what I'm doing on my bday.

But yeh.

note to self:
get mat for home computer chair
get some ringtones
get a new phone in 09
turn in carpet cleaning coupon
get my monay back for pge
get my deposit money
....?

So this is what it's like..

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:31:36 GMT

to be by yourself. It's actually not that bad. It's peaceful, no petty annoyances, no distractions. Just you, you're computer, and whatever you want to do with the space around you. So lately I've been experimenting with a bunch of stuff. I haven't exclusively shown it to everyone so I guess this is it, this is just one of many things I have.

http://djstylez.kfcizzle.com/porfolio/sound/allornothinmix1.mp3

One day, I was sitting on my computer, thinking I should be working on some sort of song. Then I got back on the track with "Making the Song"... I doubt it's going to be finish but I'm trying to polish it anyway.

On a different occasion, I'm sitting on my computer with something thought on my mind, and I decided that I must learn a korean song. Well, It was late so I just practiced on the chorus. I got it down in a couple tries, just goes to show how fun and easy learning korean is !............though I still don't understand anything they say! haha.

I never have the same type of drive when there is spectators you know.. I don't understand it. Like it's not something I would do on my free time at the apartment. It's frustrating because it's just one of my rare weaknesses. Am I embarrassed to stand out?....

Haha, these thoughts are just coming in like a train wreck. But really, yesterday I was thinking about blogging for a long time and with a lot weird and recent situations, but it was late enough for me to call it a night.

Heres the situation: I'm at the apartment jacking wireless from the neighbors because Darren already canceled the internet. Thus, Kevin moved out (taking his computer only) to his friends place. I basically spent yesterday and today cleaning the ENTIRE kitchen with the exception of some dishes which were not mines. When I say entire I mean ENTIRE. From the countless bottles and cans, cartons and kfc boxes, dishes, counter, fridge, oven, stove, microwave, cabinets, the mold like stuff from the floor ( yes I mopped and scrubbed basically the entire kitchen). I got sick of the "dead body" odor there. Which came from the trash/trash can, meat from the fridge, meat juices in the fridge, raw meat in the sink underneath the dishes...you get the idea. I was in CSI mode with rubber gloves and camera action. I'll show em when I get back?

I took the liberty to toss out full trash bags several times, vacuumed, cleaned some stains off the walls, bleached the sponges and towels, etc etc. I'm surprised I didn't get an infection!...although my eye was getting irritated ..... I sprayed the place and cleaned the place with Lysol, Comet, Pine Sol, Bleach, and that green apple forumla. All that and my room is still a mess.

Now I remember what I was going to rant about.... my other internship! the coordinator does not seem to know how to handle this thing. As I've been getting emails about Meeting on monday, meeting on wednesday, friday, and now NEXT monday?? Shit is irritating when I have to commute from Oakland and I have to not overlap internship 1 and stuff like dental appointments and basketball games. Pretty worked up off that, but just a lot of driving which idk irritates me to waste gas. I do plan on getting myself a hybrid vehicle soon.

The thing about me is I will not take anything I didn't earn or deserved (most of the time). I hate having things handed to me on a silver platter. I guess I'm as independent as they come. I want it all, but I want them the right way, for the right reasons.

What I don't want is another hostile apartment. EDC says: MM GOI. SEI HOI. and Russell Peters: Do the right thing. The situation @ primero grove has been a bunch of twists and turns. To be honest, I thought we already settled it. It's on you guys now.

Dream league Part 2? Heres the thing. I never verbally agreed to play another season. I never paid for the roster spot. So what do they do? Pay for my roster spot upfront, add someone else who is taking my starting position. Why need me then? The thing is there's just some people that you wouldn't want to have on the team. If you look closer, I get around under 4 shot attempts per game, play about the whole game, so how can you expect me to consistently get my shot off when it's not known when I am going to get it. What sense does that make? I suppose if I miss 3 shots I am playing terribly. I look at last season as sacrificing myself for the rest of the team, and I don't need this because frankly you can think what you want, I know what I can do and what it takes. It's all about the W.

.... Ok, I'll call it a night.

As I lie on my bed at my apartment in Davis in the middle of the night by myself, so many things are happening. For me, it's been a lot of the same old, but I'm approaching closer and closer onto new territories. As I awake I will promptly get ready to go to my internship site in Sacramento. This is not just any internship, it's with Mindstorm Creative, social media gurus with a wide range of abilities, and me? I'm not sure if I know what I'm getting into. Multimedia intern, tasks include marketing research, building upon ideas to create something....

What is my approach?

It's getting late. To Be Continued..

I'm a reserved leader

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 21:47:02 GMT

yall gotta take this test:

My personalDNA Report

You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

If you want to be different:

There's more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.

how you relate to others

You are Reserved

You are RESERVED – you aren't someone who always needs to have others around, and you find you can handle most situations on your own.

You can be very happy spending time alone, and enjoy your own thoughts and ideas.

You find it difficult to understand why some people get so emotional and tell everyone else their problems.

You believe that if you want to get something done, it is best to do it yourself.

In your experience, other people are not always completely dependable, so you generally rely on yourself and only a few close others.

Despite your independence, you are not a closed-minded person who makes hasty judgments about others. You know that it isn't always easy to walk in other people's shoes.

At times other people's feelings are puzzling to you, and you wish that people were more rational.

Your vision of the world is complex – your values are not set in stone. Instead, you are able to change your beliefs as you learn new information.

If you want to be different:

Even though it is tiring, making an extra effort to spend time with others even when you feel like being alone can have powerful positive effects on your relationships.

Practice talking about yourself to people you haven't previously trusted. You will forge friendships where you wouldn't have thought possible, and with practice, sharing your thoughts and feelings will get easier and easier.

dan2stylez@xanga has moved to
http://www.hoodstars.com/DanMXSTYLEZ

what does this mean? nothing actually, except that I found it a bit discriminating. Hoodstars is exactly like xanga, other than it is targeted at African Americans. At least that's what came to my mind when I first saw it. Leave it to me to make changes ya'll, but not really. It is a nice domain but kinda iffy if you ask me, but a blog's a blog. I'm from the hood and I stay reppin'.

And I can guarantee you there will be a lot more moving around this summer. My domain DUCKEGGPRODUCTION.COM expires in about a week. It never came to be, but it doesn't mean that I'm giving up. We heading to a new horizon and doing big things now--I promise.
