Very Crazy Day

i predict its gonna be a very long day today. i don't have time to relax and i'm just typing into blogger as part of my rest. i had bacon and eggs for brunch, then soon after went out to change the tyres for the ford laser. Now the car doesn't slide as much when i'm goin around a round-about. i dropped off the ragnarok client at Ben's house and was gonna drop of the movies at Daniel's house but nobody was at home. Decided to come to uni to get organised and start my uni work. Was supposed to go clubbin with my cuz tonight but lucky that got cancelled coz i just realised i have to do a 1200 word journal for a topic due on tuesday and a 1000 word critique due somewhere next week as well. i'm in the library at uni now, but can't get into the writing mood. At least i have my units organised so i know how to study for them and i now know what is going on. Its gonna be a really long night tonight. Now to catch up on my readings. =/

Tetris and music

i'm currently back into playing long hours of tetris again. i don't know if its because i want to do something other than uni or if its because my high score was beaten. i think its mainly because i want to keep my mind off other things that can really upset me. To keep my mind away from sadness i've changed my music list to extreme rock, heavy metal, punk and gothic. It seems to be working so far. Some of these songs are really good. Some are also really crazy. i better start my uni work after i beat the high score.

Confused and hurt

i dunno why...i had my first class. i'm back at home now. i tried to concentrate as much as i could. i think it went alright. i know that i shouldn't hope too much. Whenever i have hope i always get torn down. i end up feeling like crap. i really have to try and concentrate more on my uni studies and nothing else. Otherwise i don't think i can make it till the end of the year.

Back at uni

First day back at uni for the semester. i wonder how it will go? i got class in 15 minutes. There's hardly anyone at uni. There's a few butterflys in my stomach... whenever its the first day of something, whether it be school or uni it always happens. i hope my day ends up good

Poetry

What is life? A frenzy,
What is life? An illusion,
a shadow, a fiction.
And the greatest good
is of slight worth,
since life is but a dream,
and dreams are only dreams.
- Pedro Calderón de la Barca

i like this poem... it's part of a play where a poor dude was tricked by a king. The king orders everyone to act along as if the poor dude was always a king. The poor dude thinks he's dreaming even though it seems real...Then when the poor dude falls asleep and wakes up, hes back to being poor again.. and he's thinking that it was a dream and felt that he lost reality twice. He doesn't even know if he is still in a dream. The poem explores the perspectives or the poor dude from when he was a pretend king and when he was poor. Rich or poor, the dude experienced disadvantages. Both sides have advantages and disadvantages and obviously everyone would always not want the disadvantages in life. The poor dude realised this...everybody would always feel up and down no matter what or where they get...Life is just full of dreams which are a combination of wants and fantasies and thats what the reality of life really is. Darn...i'm gettin really philosophical.

Movies and Work

i've been spending too much time watching movies these past few days. i've seen Elektra, Sahara, XXX2, Unleashed, Madagascar, Mr and Mrs Smith and Sin City. They were all good... i get easily satisfied. Jonny wants me to make a website for his IT club. Since uni is gonna start next week, he really needs a webby or he might be the only club without one. Crap...i make the crappest web designs in the whole world, but i'll give it a shot. Might be fun, or might be stressful. i've also been doin thinking which is not good. Thinking too much is bad for me. Thinking makes me paranoid, schizo and suicidal. i better start on the webby before i get distracted.

Prep 4 Interview

i'm just getting ready for my interview on Monday... need to print out resume, birth certificate, licence. i drove to osbourne park yesterday to check out where it was. It was hell far away. With my crappy no sense of direction i got lost coming back...Missed a couple of turns to the city and went inside the northbridge tunnel at northbridge and when i came out of the tunnel i was in woop woop land. Missed so many turns and had to return home from where the airport was which is very far away. Drove almost non stop for 2 hours. i drained half the tank of fuel in the car, so i need to get that filled. i really hope i get this job coz i really really need it. Eagles are playing tonight! i hope they win. They're on a pyscho winning streak now.

WiNC3N's 21st

WiNC3N decided to have his 21st at his house where we all had steamboat. It was pretty good food. There were 2 chocolate cakes which were yummy. We listened to Kong and Ben play guitar and we also watched movies, but the movies got boring. Somewhere in between the movies we decided to drink and i think i drank a bit too much...and can't really remember what happened...but i remember it was really cold. i think i had 4 shots of jim bean and 3 shots of tequlia shots with salt and lemon. i wanted to walk home but i think Daniel dropped me home. i must not be tempted to drink in the future...otherwise i might have a headache like the one i'm having now.

Newport Hotel

Newport Hotel is the pub where Nieves had her 21st birthday today. It was kinda fun and interesting... i didn't really know many people but had still had a fun time coz of good friends. Some funny stuff happened. Also some scary stuff. Played pool against a couple of people and i lost badly. Birthday cake was nice and music was good. Jamie and Christy got kinda drunk and were being crazy when i drove them home. After i dropped them off i got into a little car accident.. On south street the car in front of me braked suddenly at a green light. i quickly checked and changed lanes coz i didn't want to hurt the tyres, but i also had to brake hard coz there was a snow cone in the middle of my lane. There was also another snow cone in the middle of the road in front of the car beside me...that probably explains the sudden braking. Anyways, after the car drove around the snow cone, i was gonna do the same, but at that moment i saw a flash of light in the rear view mirror, a long screeching noise and i focused at the rear view mirror and saw a car coming too fast behind me. It happened so fast. i thought crap and blinked my eyes and thought of the girl i had a crush on and there was slight tap from the rear of the car. We drove around and i signalled to a parking lot where we looked for damages but thankfully there were none, not even a dent in either car. i hate the stupid people who put the cones there. The hooligans may think its funny, but people could get hurt bad...i'm just thankful it was a car that tapped me and not a truck, coz i don't think a truck would of stopped just in time.

Going out a lot

i've been pretty busy these couple of days. Had the reunion yesterday, and today went to party with uni friends. i played some Daytona USA 2 and that was fun. i was over at a uni friend's house and there were these cute little puppies. Today we hanged around at a jacuzzi party for quite a while. Many people in swimwear and there was dj with dance music and bbq with hot dogs. Afterwards we went to Northbridge where we played some pool and walked around and later had coffee and chilled out at a coffee place. Tomorrow is a uni friends 21st at a pub somewhere in freo. Hopefully i won't get lost along the way. So tired now....

High School Reunion

We had a Lynwood Senior High reunion dinner just for us boys. Also for Daniel's birthday as well. We had chinese stuff in a chinese restaurant which was pretty ok... Daniel got his present, which was a massive optical illusion poster (pictured). It looks like cogs turning and it would make anyone go crazy if they stare at it for too long. After the dinner we played snooker at LA Cue. i officially suck at snooker. Even if i have a clean direct shot and the white ball, red ball and hole is in one line, my white ball will constantly jump over the red ball and land in the hole. The rules for snooker were pretty interesting though. i wish i was a better player.

Another Day

i think i'm really into developing web stuff. i spent quite a bit of effort on this blog's template design. i've added in links that manipulate what can be seen by the user. Took a few hours to get the concept of it. i can't believe i have this much motivation in web design. This is my second blog place. my first 'blog' was just editing a single html page every time i wanted to make an entry. i decided to make this new one and end the old one coz there's a lot of things that i want to move on and forget about, and it will probably help if i distance myself from all the old stuff.

Crap...

i've spent 7 hours yesterday trying to move the holiday movies from dv tape to the computer. It's taking a long time 'coz i still want to have it in good quality and not fill up the harddrive. On the smallest tape which had about 17 mins of video, i made a avi file which was almost 3 gigabytes. i don't have enough space on the hard drive to make a 60 min tape. =( i guess i'll have to set the format to 768Kbps Broadband NTCS in WMV then. Quality still sucks though. i'm gonna try and manipulate this blog layout a little more.

Success!

i finally got the layout just the way i want it. Sure worth the effort. =D i wonder when i'll get some sleep? Some ppl are still on msn...Crazy

Tired...

i'm so tired now... i spent a few hours trying to edit the style sheets on this blog spot thing. Since i'm only a beginner, i'm doin a lot of trial and errors to get stuff working. i wish i was more smarter than i am now. =(
