Mr. Brightside
I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

Well, it's been a while since I last updated and alot has happened.
Dec. 16th:
It was a good day, UCLA basket ballwon, Dallas won and I was about to sit down to watch the Sharks take on the Ducks. As the first period started the phone rang. I picked up and paying more attention to the game than the phone I recognized a female voice. I naturally assumed it was Amanda and said "Amanda". The woman on the other end said "No" in a voice that came haunting back. I realized it was Lori and right at that moment, the Ducks scored. I hadn't spoken to her in months, she never returned my calls. We chit chatted and it was ok, a little odd bit still sorta normal. I asked her what was new and she said "well, I'm getting married." I felt like the floor dropped out from under me. I couldn't believe it. It turned out she was engaged in July before I left for China but didn't want to tell me till now. After we talked for an hour we said our good byes and that we should meet up for lunch some time. I don't know if that will happen but it was the nice thing to say.
The Sharks won but the victory felt like it came with a price. I ended up staying up most of that night and got little sleep.
The next couple of days were pretty crappy. Things got worse as I found out Peng, Duncan and Patrick all knew, for a month at least and none had mentioned anything to me. I couldn't believe other people knew before me. I dated her for 3 1/2 years and she couldn't even give me the courtesy to tell me before others. I was pretty hurt.
The whole marriage thing is crazy and everytime I think about it I immediately go into two moods. 1) me wanting to trash everything around me 2)me wanting to break down and cry. So far I haven't done either and have been trying to bury it away, but honestly I don't know what to think about the whole thing. I've talked to several friends about it but I still don't feel any better about the situation. She's getting married July 14th. This whole situation is fucked.
Dec 21st and 22nd
My b-day. Leslie and Connie stopped by for some cake. After words I had a LAN at Adi's for 2 days. It was fun, we drank Grey Goose and Smirnoff. A couple of the guys got drunk but I didn't. It was fun but it wasn't my ideal 21st.
Ever since my 12th birthday I've dreamed of my 21st birthday. I guess you could equate it to how a girl dreams of her perfect wedding. I loved the symmetry of turning 21 on 12-21.
My idea birthday involved having ALL of my friends over for a party till midnight. After everyone went home, me and my girlfriend would go on my roof and watch the stars and nightsky fade away and enjoy the sunrise wrapped in a big blanket holding each other.
But I guess like most dreams, it is only that. Something that can not be reality.
I still had a good time and thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate it with me.
Dec. 23th
Me and Jimmy went shopping. I got a CD for my dad. Afterwards Deena came by my house and we hung out for a bit. It was great to see her, it had been a long time.
Dec. 27th.
Me and Jimmy went to Hacienda Heights to visit Andrea. She bought us dinner, I picked TGIF and Jimmy was ok with it but Andrea threw a fit saying that we should get Chinese food. It was a nice dinner after which we went to a Asian shopping center and sat in a tea cafe for 3 hours and talked. It was really great. I love hanging out and talking with Andrea. It was a good night.
Dec. 28th-30th
Jimmy, Collin, Duncan and I departed for our first road trip, to Santa Barbara. The first night we drove around trying to locate stuff to do tomorrow but we ended up getting lost and couldn't even find the ocean.(the streets in SB suck) We eventually found the downtown area and stopped in a sandwich shop for dinner. I got a Chicken Cesar Salad wrap which was excellent. We went back to the hotel room and picked up some Smirnoff on the way back.
The next day we went to IHOP for breakfast and afterwards went down to the beach and walked around the pier. Afterwards we got the football and threw it around on the beach. I was very unimpressed with the quality of the sand. It was filled with junk and sharp objects like broken glass. Not barefoot friendly. After that we headed back to the downtown area and looked around the shops. Duncan got a bunch of DVD's and even some magic cards from a local comic book shop. For dinner we went to a small restaurant. The food was very good. That night we played poker and Mario Golf.
Next morning we checked out headed back for OC. On the way back we saw a small beach and stopped by. The sand was very nice and we took tons of pictures and played football. We spent an hour out there just messing around. It was a lot of fun. For lunch we went to a local grill recommended by my dad. The food was excellent again, over all this trip had a lot of good food.
While nothing spectacular happened on the trip it was memorable and we had a great time. I now understand what's the big deal about road trips. While our marching band trips were similar there's nothing quite like having complete control over what we do. I hope we take another one soon.
Dec 31st.
Well here I am at my dad's house, its 12:00pm and the end of 2006
In looking back at the past year, it's been a pretty decent year. Some good, some bad. From China to SB. From new romances to old flames. 2006 had a lot. I can only hope 2007 is even more memorable.
RANDOM THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been a while since I did one of these.
It's crazy how many women I know. A lot of times, I think to my self, "I wouldn't be single if I knew more women!" But this past couple of weeks I realized I do know a lot of women, a lot of great women in fact. I guess the only problem would be that they are either, not interested or not single. Ok, so maybe that's a big problem but that's life. So here's my hope, that either one of these many women does become interested in me or that I find someone who's actually available.
As for those women I know now, it seems like everytime I see them they look hotter than the last time. Yet at the same time they complain to me about how they gained weight or how this or that is out of proportion or something. In my personal opinion, I think they are perfect the way they are.
Well, that's my last post for 2006. I hope to see you all in 2007. May it be the best year of our lives thus far.
