HAPPY NEW YEAR

that's it really

So Excited...

So the title for the 7th and final book in the Harry Potter series has been announced.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Yea, color me excited.

Yo Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas boys and girls!!!

Nothing big...

...so I am sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight. Bored. Then I realized there's free wifi, so I thought I'd blog about how I'm waiting.

Boring right?

By boring, I mean this post.

Anyway. That's all I have to say right now. Kinda wish I bought Warcraft. Play that jam in the airport, ahahahahaahaha!!!

Okay, not really.

Anyways. OUT!

And the vacation begins...

So I leave for Maryland this morning. Those of you who don't know, I am originally from Maryland. Definitely waking up this morning in a weird mood. It's hard to decribe... Just thinking about the past year, and seeing if I reached goals that I wanted, and looking forward to 2007, and seeing what I want, and where I want to be. Wondering if I am on track. I always have that thought process at the end of the year... for better or for worse, it's what happens.

So like many years prior, I sit at my desk, the year winding down. And I wonder what the next year will bring. I hope it's better then this year to be sure.

Anyway people. Gotta go finish packing (plane leaves in a few hours, and I'm still packing... I know, I know). I'm sure I will blog again soon. but if not, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and all that fun shit.

ahem

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!"

ahem... don't mind me, just trying something out.

Sometimes...

...just sometimes, I want to punch people in the face.

That's all.

If it involves a mixer... I'M TOTALLY COOKING IT!!!

I am the proud recipient of a Kitchen Aid mixer this evening. In YELLOW no less (those of you not in the know... being Asian, I just can't help but love the color yellow). And I have to say I am in love. Those of you wondering, this was a wonderful gift from my wonderful girlfriend. And I have to say it's the greatest thing ever... EVER!!!

Seriously, I am going to cook a shit ton. If it involves a fucking mixer, I am COOKING IT!!! And if it dosen't involve a mixer... well, shit, it's gonna!

So excited.

So come on over, cause I'll be cooking something!

Hats and Heads

Yeah, so once a month a volunteer at Children's Mercy Hospital. Make arts and crafts with the kids. Last night was my shift with my regular partner.

Anyways, since it's the holidays, bought some Santa Hats to wear that night.

Now I should preface this by saying: I have a big head.

And I mean that literally, and maybe a little figuratively (I am kind of a big deal :-p KIDDING!).

Anyways, Santa hats. The one I got for my partner fit just fine. Then it came to me... the thing was tight like all get out!!! The thing sat on top of my head like Elmerd Fudd's hat... it was frustrating.

So how did I solve this little problem?

Well, got a pair of scissors, and cut up the seam just a little bit.

So sad.

And yet another example of how I will live my life without hats.

Sigh.

Blacklights...

For real, blacklights in a bowling alley... bad idea. They fuck up a man's game! Serious! I mean, damn. So yea, I hit up "Cosmic Bowling" this weekend for the girlfriend's work XMas party... blacklights all over the effin' place. Not a exceptional bowler to begin with... but man, my jam was suffering that night!

Unrelated topic...

Been needing some new shoes. Currently wearing some Steve Madden shoes... which I am slowly realizing (don't know why I didn't realize when I bought many moons ago), a little too big.

Seriously, I continuously trip over myself.

Classic.

And in yet another unrelated topic...

Christmas. Man, people tell me I gift well. Which isn't hard when you listen. But when you don't talk?! Man, makes it hard.

Sorry... just a little frustrated what to get the big brother for the holidays.

Sigh.

Christmas...

Seriously. I love the giving, I just don't like paying for it.

How about that...

So appearently I twitch when I sleep. You know, my leg shakes, the whole bit. Kinda like a dog shaking it's leg is pretty much how I roll when I sleep...

Weird.

Other then that. Been trying to shakedown a Soundwave action figure for a good buddy mine for xmas. And none of the reissue shit, but a original from '84... man I keep getting outbid on eBay. 3 auctions, and three times I'm the high bidder... and I get sniped at the LAST possible second.

Man... frustrating.

Seriously...

You have a movie called Balls of Fury, how can you possibly not want to see it?

check it out

And in yet another moment of geekness...

The trailer for the new Harry Potter movie is now live on the Apple, and I could not be more excited! Yes, I am a geek, judge me if you will. I stand tall, proud, and wear my Badge of Geek without hesistation.

And if you're interested, check out the trailer here.

[insert title here]

So definitely been out of sorts lately. The best analogy being that I'm a gerbil on that fucking wheel, but really, I'm not getting anywhere. And you can read that, and naturally assume that it's about work. Well, that's part of it, but probably not to the extent you're imagining. Just feel like I am spinning in circles in all aspects of my life.

And you can't help but ask yourself, "What drives you?"

That question was so easy to answer when I was 5. Things have become so sterile as I've gotten older... Have you ever felt like that?

So I sit here, at work, just in a very meloncholy state. Sort of sickened that I see a pattern in my day, that I can see the routine, and I don't know if I see that changing. I know we're all empowered to change our situations, to change our lives. But again, that was so much easier when I was 5.

Don't mind me, like I said, feeling a little meloncholy. This is me ranting is all. No biggie.

On a totally different topic.

Christmas.

I love the holidays. But man, that shit is stressful. You all know how it is: where's the money coming from for gifts?, who's on the gift list?, blahblahblah. Me. My problem. Is 2 fold. I like spending money. And I like to give. Combination of the two during the holidays = bad news for my pocketbook. Like I will see something that screams the name of a friend, "BUY ME FOR THAT PERSON YOU FUCKING ASIAN!!!" And who am I to argue. "Yes product, you're right, I must give you to that person, and they will give you a blessed home this holiday." It's not a bad thing I guess. Just one of those things. This is like a stream of conscience really... "conscience" what an interesting spelling of the word, definitely not pernounced like it's spelled: con-science... you don't say "science"... just interesting, don't you think?

So over the last four years I have had this pet project of mine. This little comic book. Just finished issue 2... well just about. For the most part it's done. But being Asian, a little anal, and there's a thing or two I want to fix before I say it's done... really what are you going to do? It's how I roll. But definitely excited, told myself that when 2 issues were in the bag, send it off to the Distributor for distribution, see if they'll carry it. If they do, fucking SCORE BABY!!! And by score, I don't mean bank, but it'll definitley be awesome to put out a comic.

Don't you think?

Well there's definitely more I can rant about, but I think I am done. Anyways, hope you kids are doing well, hope the holidays don't have you too stressed. And if I have more mindless dribble to rant about... well then, I guess I will see you soon.

So I might have a problem, part deux.

That problem? Video games.

I mean, seriously people, it's 3am, and I am just now getting to bed. Why you ask? It's a little game I like to call Gears of War. It's really funny, I remember seeing somesort of True Life special of somekind on Video Game Addicts, and how every spare moment of the day was spent playing video games.

And I remember thinking, "That is incredible!", but you know, not in a good way.

And here I am, 3 in the morning.

So again, I might have a problem.

Other then that. Had a traumatic encounter tonight. I was doing some Christmas shopping, and as I was out and about... I ran into the family of an old... friend? exe? It's hard to describe that relationship... it was very grey. None the less, an unheathly part of my past. But loved her family, and I ran into the family tongiht. Just weird... really never quite sure what the social protocol is there. I mean, if you haven't figured it out: 1 - always loved the family, 2 - things ended with that girl VERY ugly. So what do you do?

It was just... it had it's good and bad points. But definitely been running into a lot of people from my past lately. Maybe it's because of the holidays. I don't know. But I do know it's 3 AM, and I am fucking going to bed... only to get up in like 3 hours.

But whatever.

GO TEAM!

So today at work is the day of the long-awaited team building day. Should be interesting since as of late, overall, morale seems low for the team. For me I am a little nervous as well. See we also have bi-weekly team meetings, of which a team member heads up a meeting. Today is also the day of such a meeting, and it's my turn to head it up. Got old business colleagues of mine to come in and run a leadership workshop they do with, are you ready for this, LEGOS. I'm really excited. I went through this workshop once, and it was really cool. I hope the team likes it. I think it'll be a good experience for everyone involved.

Sweaty feet and the Winter...

I don't know what it is. But something about cold weather makes my feet sweat. They don't do it in the Summer... just in cold weather.
