so legit.

Okay. So I think that Tony Almaeda is cooler than Jack Bauer. There, I said it. Bauer may be the most dangerous person the world has ever known. But Tony is an adminstrative genius, wears leather jackets, and saves Bauer’s life multiple times. Oh and also, whenever he says yeah or no, it sounds extra intense because he doesn’t close his mouth when the word is finished, he kinda just...
Smog Check
Since when did smog checks cost 50+ dollars ?!
It used to be 20.
crossfit
I’m gonna try to start doing this. Because c’mon. This is a girls workout:
“Barbara”
Five rounds, each for time of: 20 Pull-ups 30 Push-ups 40 Sit-ups 50 Squats

People I meet on a daily basis
I’ve been meeting famous people recently at work.
I met one of the guys who developed Java & javascript.
I met one of the guys who invented IDS (Intrusion Detection)
and a handful of people with Emmy Awards.
I also have sat on the same toilet as many of those mentioned above.
Taxes
I filed my first tax return today.

Last night the power went out at 7:30. So i slept at 8:00 and woke up at 8:30.
good tv shows nobody really watches
I think there are a lot of good shows out there. People watch most of them. But not all of them. Usually everybody watches House, 24, Heroes, Lost, Fringe, the Office, 30Rock, etc. But what about:
Bones.
It’s everything you want in a tv show. romantic tension, suspsense action, relational humor, and loveable awkward characters, and mind blowing forensic thrills. At first you may...
Run from your computers!
Today I found out that the Russians and Chinese are paying smackloads of money for hackers to write malware for them in order to cripple our nation’s defenses. How’s that for organized crime.
The Perfect Fighting Build
The perfect fighting build. Can’t be too bulky or else you forfeit agility:
Can’t be too skinny or else you have no momentum behind your takedowns:
Can’t be too tall or else you have no infighting speed:
Can’t be too short or else you will be kicked like a soccer ball:
Conclusion: The perfect fighting build is: Frank Shamrock, George St. Pierre in their...

boxing
So i’ve started to get into boxing. in my case it is faux boxing because I’m not boxing against anyone and my form looks terrible. Anyways. This has been in the works for awhile. A month ago, my brother bought a pair of focus mits and before that we had a large hanging punching bag as well as bag gloves and hand wraps. Last week I bought headgear.
So I’ve been punching that...
Watchmen
So I’ve been reading this comic. And it is super depressing.
I thought it would be all cool and chic. Turns out it is just satirical and gritty.
Sorry to break it to you, but there are no real super-heroes in the entire comic book save one. None of the masked “adventurers” have any natural born super-abilities. They are just normal people. The Comic is more about the...
Our Grip
When the things we love are ripped from our hands, we learn that we have gripped them to tightly and idolized that which was not worthy of our adoration. On the other hand, when they fall from our fingers, then we have held them too lightly, and have skirted our responsibility as stewards. But when we feel the firm pull of Sovereign Decree, and allow our treasures to be taken away. We declare...

The Foreigners...
To this day my Dad still calls White people 洋人, meaning “foreigners”, despite the fact that he was born in Taiwan and moved to the States after college. Usually, he uses the term when expressing disdain or disgust with general American practices and culture.

Asian tragedy
It is without a doubt one of the greatest tragedies of the asian world. The loss of culinary sensibility in the asian girl. What was once passed down through the generations as a sort of feminine glory is now dismissed by either laziness, poor parental guidance or construed feministic thought. Note the Or not And.
There is something wrong when 8 out of 10 asian guys can cook better than the...
LA daytrip
so work is taking me to LA, for one day. one. day.
too bad. I would have wanted to go to kbbq with the partycrew.
the party crew = guys who have no, or are sick of, their girlfriends and just want to eat to fulfill their manly longings and girls who have no or are sick of not having boyfriends resulting in the same manly longings.
work
so i started work about two weeks back. It’s a work at home deal + meetings. pretty sweet. What’s my job? essentially making cool graphics that visualize user experience. The bummer is that it’s a contract deal, so that I’m on for a year and when that’s over, well hopefully they really like me.
thought of the day. I need 3d glasses.
