hi.
sorry i havent been writing any blogs. 72 hour work weeks are not fun.
well, the illini finally lost today. but you know what, im not that down. the burden of being undefeated is now lifted, and they will go on to win the national championship. YAY.
stork just told me he got some meijer tuna. that got me nostalgic. i estimated that about 80% of all the tuna sammiches i've ever eaten were in our senior year apartment. apparently 26.7% of storks blowjobs were in that apartment. i guessed 33%. close. also i estimated that we went through 2.5 bags of rice for the year. maybe 200 games of euchre total? 20 matches of me vs. stork in super tennis. 40 hours of working on ece 333 lab reports. 400 hours for me of listening to mp3s. 650 hours of espn being shown on storks tv. 40 times me and chras walked downstairs at 7am to meet dudo and dennis to work out. 10 times bringing mykonos back to the apartment. about 6 times having girls sleep in my bed (TM girls only, haha), and 1 time puking in my bed (and finding dried ground beef from lasagna on the floor).
theres tons more i can think of, but i gotta sleep. aahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

CHRISTMAS BLOG
one week until the 2nd piya's top 6 contest ends. (see below if you haven't)
oh yeah, im ditching the billy corgan blog method...too much work to type those periods.
merry chrastmas everyone. time to write a blog today, on the holiest of all buddhist holidays. haha. i finally got my first issue of ESPN the magazine yesterday. so i got to read it at work. it was good. also, i was looking at espnmag.com, and saw that paradorn was one of the NEXT athletes, which is a group of athletes that are tabbed as future superstars. you can see them here. SRICHIPHAN IS KING.
i guess in this blog, i'll write random things about my experiences with christmas. . (DISCLAIMER: if anyone is gonna get offended by me joking about christianity, then stop reading. and if you will be, you probably don't know me well enough to handle my blog. but i doubt anyone out there will be.) actually, today we are having a TM christmas. yay. although it doesn't have the same tradition as TM thanksgiving, it still is good. too bad not everyone can be there. we are doing what any red-blooded buddhists would do on christmas...getting food from chinatown. yay. also, we are eating pies and ice cream.
anyways, our family doesn't celebrate christmas, but i guess all the old school TM (not to be confused with current TM) parents got assimilated to US customs and decided to have huge new year's eve parties where they gave kids presents. how cool is that, we get presents, and don't have to deal with all that jesus stuff. those parties were some of the best days in my life. we'd get a lot of presents, cause each family had to give each kid a present. the beginning of the end was when we started to do secret santa. how suck is that? well, i guess it starts getting expensive and hard to get presents when the kids start turning into teenagers. i remember one year i was chico's secret santa, and we got him veruca salt - american thighs, and stp-purple, plus money. thats a quality gift. that was a good year for music. anyways, eventually, it just stopped, and we dont have them anymore.
if you are not christian, nothing shapes your christmas knowledge and attitude more than grade school, since your parents don't do anything with christmas. i dont know if a lot of other schools did this, but in my early grade school years, every grade had to sing a certain christmas song at the christmas assembly. it was cool, cause we got to get out of coloring and cut-and-paste work for a while. the christmas parties on the day before christmas vacation were the best, though. the whole day you just feel excited. during the morning, there might be busy work, like christmas crossword puzzles, or christmas word search, maybe go through a christmas edition of "weekly reader". then in the afternoon you got candy and stuff. i have never felt as "christmasy" as i used to during grade school. i always remember those commercials on tv where you could call the santa hotline and get to talk to him, or could listen to christmas stories on the phone. you don't see those anymore.
i used to believe in santa claus when i was young, for a while, even though i never got any presents from him. i just assumed he only stopped at white people's houses or something. haha, b has a funny story about santa claus. i guess she complained to her kindergarten teacher that santa didnt deliver any presents for her. the teacher (ms. martin) goes "uhhh...." and didnt know what to say. hahahahhaha.
anyways, even buddhists can enjoy and "feel the spirit" of christmas. we just cut the religion part out of it, like im sure some christians even do. hahaha. triumph: i kidd.. i kiiidd...
anyways, i have a brief respite from work, but i gotta work the weekend. yeah, sucks.

hello.
i like blogging.
im gonna try something new, so its easier to tell when my sentences end and start. multiple periods, billy corgan style.
anyways, i forgot to mention another thing from buzz... i own that chick bartender at buzz... one example: chras and gook were standing at the bar, waiting... i go to oiy: "watch, im gonna get it before them cause i own her" (or something like that)... then i walk up to the bar, stand in between them, and she comes over and gives me the the "what do you want?" point... score... since we go to buzz a lot, ive been working on her... oh yeah, second example... its like 10:55, almost ending open bar... vic is already there, and the bar is pretty crowded... i go up and stand next to him and tell him, "i bet she gets me before you." and she did... SKADDABOOM. anyways, then she got vic right before she says "cash bar"... score again.... so good tipping is always a good investment at open bars. .. at least a dollar per drink, and occaisionally an extra dollar on top of that... or maybe im just hot, and she wants me... yah, thats probably it.
well, i gotta work on chrastmas, look for my very first christmas blog then.
oh yeah, do my contest. i have one entry by chico. his email was hilarious. if i get permission, i might reprint it here.
layyters.

well, im about to enter a very bad stretch of work, so possibly no blogging for a while.
buzz was cool yesterday. so was sauce. the funniest part was at buzz. we were all on the dance floor, and some guy comes up to anuj and starts grinding on him for a few seconds, then walks away laughing. i couldn't stop laughing. anuj, however did not think it was that funny. but it was.
oh yeah, so i come home yesterday at 4ish and my dad asks who went and stuff. when i said anuj was one of them, he goes "do indians drink beer?" hahahaah, i thought that was funny. cause i guess his indian co-worker doesnt drink beer.
also, my dad was makin fun of b cause she cant go out with us to bars. hahahaha.
i am considering buying no doubt - rock steady. if you told me when it first came out i would be buying it, i wouldve thought you were nuts.
illini are awesome.
