Holy crap im turning 21!!!!

I can honestly say im "kinda" excited!!
Its funny because last night I was looking thru my blog on my birthdays and im always "this sucks". I still feel like a this sucks but im goign to be 21!! ALCOHOL!! CLUBS!! HIGHER CLASS STRIP CLUBS!! *cough*

When I was 18, 19 and even 20 I was really sad because I was growing up and there was no going back but now I kinda feel relieved. Im becoming more independent and thats interesting to see, even for myself. I mean I live on my own, I go to college, im making a great salary for a kid my age and I get to see and go where ever I want with my g/f... Things arent bad huh?

But again, im getting old. That sucks. BUT im asian so take off 5 years since people here at work are like "wtf you cant be any older than 16!!" *sigh*

This one guy picks on me all the time, hes VP in finance here. First time he saw me he ID checked me and made fun of me because I cant even buy alcohol but HA no more!! After this weekend im going to show him my license and be like BOO-YA.

Things have been good the past few days. Globat is being gay with their servers so yuou people wont be able to read this till after my birthday anyway =p

On the weekend I went to The Machine with corrie and.. MY PARENTS!! I was really happy they went with me. Ive been wanting to them to go to a kind of show I go to. The Machine was a Pink Floyd cover band and they were GREAT!! They played a super long set (THREE HOURS!!!) and did it DEAD on. Fantastic!!

I got a new guitar also but ill talk about that after the weekend :)

I dont know why but I feel overly excited and cheerful. Haha what are the odds

Before I go. Remember that cube I made with my man strength!!?!?!?

Well a week later when I got back home it was one of the few remaining bits of snow in Georgia!! GO CUBE!!



By the time I get home this weekend I suspect it will be completely gone. It was good to me, until I left it outside for it to die. It still loves me though

Hrmm

I havent had a real update in a few days cuz ive been busy like a mofo. I update this thing at work between tasks but its January and January means inventory time. Inventory is tedious, interns are useful.

Inventory + Intern = Worry and tedious free job

But yeah im doing the entire inventory in the entire place by myself. Im basically raping excel right now and then after I put it all in our database. In short.. This is all I'll be doing for a month O_O Its not exactly my cup o tea but hey like my dad said people would kill to get paid what I do to walk around and put some serials in a laptop. So I wont complain :)

Im working on the large sections right now which consists of database devs and analyst's, fixed income dept., traders and some other small groups that are EXTREMELY busy. They literally come in at 7am (which is when I come in) and leave at 7pm or later. They are ALWAYS at their computer doing stuff so getting them off of it so I can get a check is troublesome.

I realize more and more everyday just how friggin smart people are here and also the butt loads of money they make. This one guy started as an intern in HR and changed to finance dept. He went to Emory for business and the day he graduated he was hired full time and now makes ATLEAST 80-100k off the bat. Holy bajeebzuz

And everyone has like 2-3 masters, PhD here and there and like a bazillion bachelors. Even the database guys who I didnt think were TOO far ahead of me.. way wrong. I was looking at some resumes and theyre like friggin all master degrees in electrical engineering and computer with amazing experience in various projects.

I am totally a small fry haha but w/e its fun :)

The Drunken Douche

This heavy-drinking ass stumbles around parties, slobbering on strangers and telling people how buzzed he is... after two beers. Later in the night, after he's polished off his second six-pack, he'll tell you he's cool to drive home, just after he finishes pissing on your living room couch. This guy never seems to know where he's at on the sobriety scale, although on the douche scale he's always a perfect 10.

The Disorder:

This guy displays signs of what is known as the Mallenby effect. Basically, this causes a person to overestimate the effects of alcohol during the first few drinks (called the "absorption phase" by people who study drunkenness) and will underestimate them later in the night (during the "elimination phase"). If you want to see this concept in action, buy a lot of nonalcoholic beer for a party full of teenagers. If drinking with teens isn't your thing (and legally it shouldn't be anyone's "thing") then check out most college frat parties where the masses will start screaming "WHOO!!!" within the first 15 minutes that the keg is tapped, long before their system has actually had the chance to absorb any alcohol into the blood stream.




Later, the same people will physically display all signs of being drunk, but will claim to be sharp as a tack, because, as they'll tell you, they drink so much that it, like, would totally take all the booze in this place to get them drunk. Then they'll plow their Mustang into a drainage ditch and take a swing at a cop.

Hrmmm perhaps my roommates and all those other douchebags i hate =p

I love science sometimes

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!! ITS SNOW... ... ... AGAIN!!!

So it snowed again this weekend :) The best part is that corrie was with me this time



It was a lot of fun tho cuz it wasnt FREEZING or anything and there was a good amount of snow... About 2 inch's

but we made a SNOWMAN!!! Ooooo











Our completed snowman, yes your jealous





Of course later on little kids killed him. About an hour later we looked outside to see how it was doing and he was murdered.. Damn little kids!!!

Corrie and I didnt really care that much so w/e





SnOw Bawl Fite!



Later on I decided to make the biggest snow ball I could. I did pretty well until it got to the point where I had to seriously struggle just to get it to roll an inch then I gave up. I wish I had more man power from say.. jake, oscar n eric to make a HUGE one but I did well on my own sofar.





Overall was a great weekend. Went out to eat with my parents like twice a day =p
Didnt do too much else actually. Corrie and I had a lot of homework we worked on all weekend and some other stuff. Saw Cloverfield which I'll have to talk about tomorrow or something.

But tis all!!

CORRIE





josh out

It's too much to do on my own
my friends, i need you now
i'm sorry that i wrecked that tour for us
the drugs left me wigging out on the bus
i'm snapping into slim jims
and out to save some souls
if i can't do my job, my god,
what am i even here for?

i want to be back in the van
where evil never would nor could nor should ever understand
back in the van
it's anything but their outrageous grandstand

cause if you want it, then come and get it
we're all with you now, we're all with you now
cause if you can think it, then you can make it
we're all with you now, we're all with you

forever yours i am, like the ocean to the sand
forever in debt to my band,
like i'm in the palm of your hand
though i'm forever wondering why
like a skeptic to the sky
forever yours and yours and yours and yours i am
goodbye

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!! ITS SNOW

I saw snow for the first time in my LIFE!!

It wasnt THAT cold outside either. I was in class and I get a text from zach and corrie saying its snowing and im just like... no way... As soon as I got out of class and out of the building, my god it was snowing.

Went to my dorm room and back outside and took some pics when it just started











Then it started snowing harder and literally just an hour - 2 hours later we had





Some had the idea of stripping down some- no thanks.. it got colder as time went by =p





I stopped by the lab becuase I forgot my key when I left my room and talked to zach n jeremy for awhile. There was one of the newer ppl there kelsey. She seems cool and is a qt pie. I dont work with anyone cute or hot here, theyre all twice my age or more .. BOO!

I went back to my room and waited for zach to get off work at 8 and when he did we went SLEDDING lawl. Theres hills next to the burruss building and there was us n a lot of others doing the same thing.











That was fun :) Snow made me like a giggly school girl teehee. Too bad it ended by the end of the night.

josh out

I need to get my textbooks!!! Ill do it later today *sigh*

So the big news for the day is my fishy. Because hes awesome. His name is Glados... yes Glados. Which makes him more awesome.





And this is his home next to my media server



So today eric found some old laptops and I was able to find an old ram stick for that laptop which will increase its ram to 512mb!!! Woot!! its an improvement that it desperately needs.

So its almost that time where I decide where im going to live next semester. Zach and I are obviously goign to room together again because were <3 but the question is whether or not were going to reserve the room we have now. Its tempting cuz we like our location. Its convenient because its the first room from the stairs and the stairs is close to the parking garage. But uhm we dont want the other 2 to be our roommates again, no way in hell. So were gonna find out if theyre going to reserve it, if not then we might. Basically anything they do well do the opposite. AGAIN theyre not horrible people, just uhm.. horrible to live with.

So I watched Hostel again last night. Man that movie is great (this is the part where most of you go wtf your crazy)



Anyways I feel like giving my opinion because not many seem to feel the same way. I only saw this movie recently (maybe a month ago) and as soon as I saw it I immediately downloaded hostel 2 and greatly enjoyed that as well.

I didnt see it in the movie theatres because jake saw it and said it was a total piece of crap and it was just a gore fest. Nothing against jakes opinion but it was SOOOOO mcuh more than that!

The first problem was expectations people had for the movie. The trailers made it seem like just a pure gore fest and nothing more. First we have to understand Eli Roth and his intentions. I dunno how many poeple saw cabin fever but after you see that movie you can immediately get an understanding of his "style". Cabin Fever had somewhat the same feel of hostel. He develops his character in aspects he feels necessary followed by a gore scene followed by complete randomness. Im not completely sure what hes trying to get at either but its just what he likes to do.

And without going ON and ON about the movie I would just like to say that Hostel does more than other crappy "horror" movies out there. I do not find Hostel in any shape or form a horror movie, sure it has its thrill scenes (gore =p) but it brings story and development into the movie. If you think about it, the real gore scenes arent until the last section of the movie. Its not popping blood and guts at you the entire movie for a reason.

I think hollywood shouldnt have promoted Hostel 1 and 2 the way it was. They are OUTSTANDING films that should be understood and then appreciated. Both Hostel 1 and 2 are real treats in my library and ive watched both several times already. Definitely under my favorites.

Before I go, another minor photo dump which consists of Oscar on my couch in my old house looking through a family photo album my gma made for us for christmas one year followed by me and meh geetah!





and last but certainly not least, corrie on my bed.. on my bed in my room (reading of course) which I will bring up photos of it before it was put away *sniff*



btw corrie is very prone to red eye lol.. Ill have to photoshop the future ones :)

im done

josh out

Crab people
Crab people
Taste like crab
Talk like people
Crab poeple

On other note, I got my first real paycheck today !! its nice!! real nice!!
I can get used to this job indeed

man the weekends go by like friggin nothing. I remember being at work friday and now... im at work and its monday.

I was with corrie this weekend which was great but whenever im with her time goes by in a blink of an eye. We had a nice weekend tho. Got a snaily friend for fishy who is yet to be introduced to the world. Went to an outlet mall, we both got some stuffs :) ate at hooters, ate at a korean buffet which was interesting. Usually at buffets they have the meats laid out for you to take but here you take raw meat and cook it at your table. It was totally korean and totally awesome

I gave corrie her christmas present which was the ring I got her. I was really really nervous but she loved it. I feel so relieved and happy now. I had to give her a lil "disclaimer" before I gave it to her. Didnt want ehr to think it was a proposal or a sappy promise ring (those are retarded). I just love her a friggin ton and wanted to show it somehow and show others that I feel that way.

You know.. getting up 6 am everyday sucks

Okay its friday

This is good for many reasons. The primary one would be getting to sleep in a couple hours tonight AND tomorrow..!! Oh my

Last night I had a good nights rest. The 2 roomies didnt come back at all *shrug*

Now I realize one day they are going to look at my facebook or myspace and click the link to my webpage and read this but im just being honest. If my roommates were jake and oscar and they woke me up at 2 in the morning when I had to be up at 6am to work and study a full day i'd be pissed at them too and call them retards. But theyre not my roommates and I still <3 them.

They arent THAT bad.. sorta.
Sorta because tyler is a really good guy. He can mingle with anyone because he gives a friendly vibe no matter who hes talking to or with. Will on the other hand is completely different, every word that comes out of his mouth gives a ... hmm... not really a word to describe it but uh, those people I didnt talk to in high school (jocks, pre frat (look at me im cool mentality kids who end up in frats in college), ect). Yeah that

Both are messy. Will tends to clean up more.
Both leave their computers playing music when theyre gone which is pretty god damn annoying. Especially since will got these little speakers for his computer when he came back from the break so now that 20 song play list of crap (country + rap) is even more annoying. I mean its not that hard to press mute when you leave your room. Jesus if I did that I could piss off everyone with my 4.1 FOUR HUNDRED watt speakers. I think that pwns will's 50-60 watt speakers and tylers onboard laptop speakers.

But I dont, im considerate.

Zach is my other roommate. I worked with him the ITS Lab at school and he told me about the extra room that nobody was in. So thanks to him I live on campus :) We get along really well and we are definitely going to be roommates next year.

But yeah I havent talked about my roommates much but thats them in a nut shell.

The whole waking me up at 2am in the morning gets to me the most, everything else is bearable. Sometimes I think about myself in that kind of life style.. The whole stereotypical frat boy kinda thing and yeah every time I do I think "yeah sure its fun" but do I really want to be a douche. No i dont

I think I only ponder that sometimes for the fact I really dont do much. Sure I have some friends but its not like were out every night drinking and having fun. Thats partially the reason I have the "I wish/wonder" thoughts.

But this semester when I get things settled im going to dip into the nerd side. Theres guys that play magic and I want to play magic. I dont care, magic is awesome and if you think otherwise. Suck my balls.. And if you do suck my balls please tell me ahead of time so I can make sure they are nice and salty for you.

Im at work right now and after work im going to pick up my lady friend.
After this weekend or maybe even during the weekend Ill have to introduce my new fishy friend to the world. Ill keep his name hidden until he has the proper introduction.

Anyways my random bit at the end of my post is not a memory or an event but an appreciation. An appreciation for my parents. I dont know why I was just thinking about it the past couple of nights. They made me into a decent kid (atleast I think so)

I mean I dont do drugs, go to parties all the time, bang every female I can (Hmm although the life style could appear tempting), and most of all.. not a fucking douche bag.

My mom and dad are great and I love them



btw I lied.. Last random bit would be:

Did you know that the human population comes from God having Celestial Sex with his 100 or so wives? Yes thats right... Mormonism is awesome

Josh out

So many females to undress
We roll in as a pack we will roam and regress
So many standards to suppress
Do any drug that they recommend or suggest
She was my own false diety
Seduced by a priest she was out to destroy me

zomg im so tired right now.

I went to bed at a decent hour but probly didnt fall asleep till midnight and then my 2 tards (the roomies) brought over loud people. Only kept me awake for like 5 minutes and just slept through it.

Some interesting geek stuff yesterday. I looked at my Ipod and got bored of it so hax0red it and put rockbox on it. Pretty awesome.

Zach came in litle later in the night and for the first time I looked who was conencted to my router... there was SEVEN people connected at that moment. Whats even more insane is my router dhcp assigned over THIRTY ip addresses to other laptops or devices!!

So zach and I are going to "join" our routers together so we'll get more people connected to a single router and share our media n stuff.. Maybe mess with them a bit too =p

Im at work right now and feel like complete crap... it sucks

josh is most definitely out

This post is a special post because

ITS THE 300TH POST!

300 Posts, last published on Jan 8, 2008

Ok maybe its not that big of a deal for celebration but hey I wouldnt have gotten to this if I didnt look at my blog at work and go Hrmmmmmmmm....

I got a full nights rest last night!! ZOMG!! Either my roommates didnt bring retarded loud people over last night or I just slept through it all. Either way its still goooood.

I had my first day of java 2 and database systems yesterday. Its okay. I mean class doesnt get me excited no matter what. I might take a guitar class next semester to spice things up but for now class is still class.

First half of my database class the prof was talking about summer research internships and his study abroad to brazil. That would be fuggin awesome. I had no interest in brazil until I went to korea and had that guy talk about it. Beautiful women is always a check in my list. Oh yeah the whole study abroad thing too *cough*

Today I have accounting and project management. Both wont be exciting lol.

Man I need to do something in school.. Im bored already like I was before. I just dont mingle too well with these Georgians. Theyre.. I dunno

w/e

photo dump time!

One night with jason, summer, sam, steven, kris, and jake we visited Eric at work late in the night. And since he works at miami dade we kinda sneaked into the campus. Went in one of the rooms and watched robin hood men in tights :)













Pretty awesome night :)
Another time just kris, jake and I went over and played some xbox 360.

Here are some ROTC pics during Arnold Air Society training. Now that was a good time :) Being a trainer and being the one yelling. I must say the other side was much more pleasant.









Hey look its Toni ^_^



Man i miss ROTC so much...

And before I go.. LOOK!! Its a road in Miami



With a random car on it... But that car isnt just any random car... Its a random car with... SHIBBY IN IT!!!



She didnt notice us yet... Actually she did but thought we were weird strangers and just didnt look at us till it got too awkward and then realized it was the most awesome people in the world.

har har

Corrie came back!!

Im so happy!!! :)

This break kinda sucked since all I did was work. Its really good to have the best part of my day back.

She arrived around 8PM with her sister. Mindy passed out pretty early since corrie made her drive the ENTIRE 12 hours. bad!

Corrie is a lil bit homesick already since she didnt get to stay in miami too long. at least she got to see everyone unlike me :(



Yesterday her sister left for NC while Corrie and I went out to get some things at places like walmart (of course).

PIC

Dropped her off at GT, stayed there for a little while then went back to kennesaw. Going back to both schools was a bit weird, havent been to either in awhile.

But yeah another new school semester today.. that SUCKS ASS

im taking

Project Management
Intro to Accounting Finance (yep...)
Data Systems
Java 2
Internship

for 15 credtis. Not bad I suppose, ill find out this week if any of the classes are uber hard. My goal is to get ATLEAST a 3.0 semester GPA.

Im at work right now.. And ill be at work mon - thur from 7AM to 1PM and then work from 7AM to 4PM on fridays. So that means I have to go to sleep early which sucks but im somewhat familiar with it when I was in rotc.

Only thing is, every night was a quiet night to sleep. Last night 2 of my roommates came in with a couple other guys at around 2AM and woke me up. Its the first night so I didnt say anything but if it happens on a regular basis then heads will roll because im god damn tired right now.

Anyway thats about all for now so I'll proceed to a minor photo dump!

Was looking thru some pics and found some pics of a party I went to during last spring.

Boooooozeee







and as you can see, I obviously went to see toni. Shes so rad~ lawl ^_^



Was a good time.. Toni was there, flemming, rojas, jenni, even bellows!

BTW its a small world. The guy in the red shirt with black dragons on it worked with my mom at red lobster for awhile. We were talking and found out our connection between us, which was my mom.. SMALL WORLD. Well he graduated and went to boston to become something great and make a lot of money =p

On the subject of booze.. well not really on that but still..

ALYSSA + BEER = !!



Yes breath it in... Its difficult to see! Now this is a photo of alyssa drinking a beer but its also a photo with john in it. Now his face is obviously sending a message.

My interpretation would be something kinda like ...



BOO @ SCHOOL

First thing you might realize is I redid the layout.. Well not too much.. Choose a preset layout and edited colors, found a background i liked and others to what I wanted. Learned a lot of cool css things but found them pointless so didnt add much of that.

Changed the commenting back to bloggers because using haloscan is kinda completely pointless now.

My next step is to get a gallery up.

Corrie is coming today.. Im really excited :)

I think i sleep now

So I was looking through the pictures I took during 2007. And well.. There isnt really THAT much.

I wasn't really in the picture taking groove too much.. After my camera got lost I think is when I really stopped. I have some things to touch up on tho. Like the road trip with the fellers :) Ill leave that for last.

Anyways I'll start off with a depressing day turned into a great day thanks to my amazing friends.
My birthday is always horrible, well not always.. probly started to be horrible at 16 or 17. I just dont like them. Every birthday is like a big reminder to me that im growing up and having more responsibilities. Growing up is fine but I find myself giving up a piece of my previous self as every year goes on and well, thats damn depressing imo.

Good example would be one of my boss's. I found out recently when I was in his car and asked to look through his music collection to determine if he would get kudos from me or not. What I found was bands like thursday, incubus, NIN, finch and even friggin dinky rilo kiley. So I gave him uber kudos. When I did he mentioned that he hasnt listened to those cd's in years and did when he was in college until 22 or so. He even went to a ton of shows like I do now. Now thats all really friggin awesome n all but its like I see a future me everyday I work. I dont want to throw that part of my life away but I'll end up doing so anyways just because well... growing up.

Im not gonna be at a show with fag hardcore kids when im 25.

Im going to be 21 in less than a month... Oh gawd.

Where im going with this is my 20th was depressing as well.. In the morning it was at least. It was brightened. Brightened because I havent been tricked like that in a LONG time lol

Anyways it started with me waking up in the morning at Corrie's house. Corrie comes in the room and wakes me up all excited and wishes me a happy birthday. I of course was miserable. Anyways I was gonna go home and wanted Corrie to come but she couldnt for some reason which made me even more miserable. Here I was on my crappy birthday and I wasnt even going to be with my girlfriend.

So I got home.. Crappy as could be.. My parents wanted to cheer me up and offered to go to the movies, I agreed and asked if we could pick up Corrie, they agreed. So we got in the car and drove to Corrie's.

Upon arriving to the house there were a ton of cars and my reaction was.. "oh no..".
When I rang the door bell with my parents and the door opened there it was. Everyone screaming happy birthday to me. There are some moments in life, no matter how short or long it may be are so significant that it sticks with you forever and means everything. At that moment when I saw everyone screaming happy birthday to me my friends, my parents and Corrie meant everything to me.

I did NOT expect that.

Apparently it was Becca's idea and Corrie knew it in the morning and couldnt come to my house so she could prepare the event. My parents were behind it too and conned me into going there or else I would'nt have. Even after the surprise I asked my parents "What happened to the movie" but I was serious because they canceled their plans with me but no.. They were involved and tricked me.

yeah that was good

But yeah everyone that meant anything to me was there... Even eric shipp and sabrina! That really shocked me.

and Victor n Jake got me new Oakley shades! My old pair was getting pretty worn and they gave me a sparkling new one :) Man that was so nice and I appreciated that gift so much. Hell I use it everyday

For the first time in awhile.. My 20'th birthday was one of the best days of my life.















I didnt say this directly.. but i love you guys and thanks for making a shitty day into a day I'll never ever in a god damn millennium forget (haha i almost quoted a SA song.. sry)

This 21st will suck tho :)

Yesterday I pulled a 12 hour day at work because I had nothing better to do lol. So that was the extent of my day, especially since I got home arond 7:30 and went to sleep between 10-11 PM. Exciting isnt it?

Before I go.. I have to mention an event that was humorous and sad. You see, Corrie has a dream. Her dream is to fly. Not fly in the sky but fly into the big black sea of space. So one day while in texas and on an ATV she decided to take her first steps into flight. This was done by flying off an ATV and breaking her collar bone.

*cough*

...

...

*snicker*

...

LOLOLOLOLOLLO
ROFLCOPTER

Ok ok ok... So she told me what happened that night and that she was in pain. Funny thing is, I didnt think it was serious but she obviously wasnt moaning or anything. I was proven wrong when she came back home and found out she had a broken collar.. WTF O_o that girl has some pain tolerance. haha i love her



Awwww.. You just want to squeeze her dontcha!! well not too much because you know.. you might break her other collar bone.

*cough*

...

LAWL

josh out

Ok I woke up this morning around 6AM to go to work. Normal thing... but I left my house to go in my car in the fkin freezing weather to find my window COVERED in frost... WTF!!

I like freaked out lol O_O
I activated my windshield wipers by instinct and that just made a horrible sound. Then tried washing fluid but it was frozen so nothing came out and I proceeded with the coldest drive of my life... so far *sigh*

damn you cold!!!

Anyways, the day of new years I went to the mall with my mom to meet up with her aunt n family. Was walkign across the mall and saw a Wii ... exhibit? or... something

I thought it was kinda random





Welp back to work

And I really don't change my facebook everyday but w/e.
