Just Dance / Ante Up

Red one
Convict
Gaga (oh, yeah)

I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush. Start to rush by.
How does he twist the dance?
Can't find my drink oh man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, I'm alright.

Chorus:
Just dance. Gunna be okay.
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance. Gunna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Ju-ju-ju-just dance.

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth.
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out babe.
Control your poison babe
Roses have thorns they say.
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

Chorus

When I come through on the dance floor checkin out that catalogue.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.
And I ain't gonn' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like the car
I'ma hit it, I'ma hit it and flex until the til done until tomorr' yeah.
Shawty I can see that you got so much energy,
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason, I know why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stand, let me watch you break it down and ...

Dance. Gunna be okay.
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo
Just dance. Gunna be okay.
Da-da-doo-doo

~Just Dance by Lady GaGa



The past couple of weeks have been interesting:

I judged at CSUF this past weekend in a high school tournament. I ended up judging 5 rounds of LD which were double flighted, so really 10 debates
3 Rounds of Policy
1 Round of Open Extemp
1 Round of Novice Impromptu
1 Round of Open Impromptu

The Policy rounds were pretty painful to watch while the LD rounds were pretty entertaining. The LD topic this year is:
Resolved: It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of many innocent people.

It was pretty cool listening to high schoolers read Post Modern theory on morals and rights and have some really good arguments going back and forth. Most of the rounds were pretty easy to judge and I only had 2 that were coin flip close. It basically came down to whether I buy one sentence of argumentation. Despite how long the days were, it was worth it and a great experience.


Speaking of debate, lets take a quick look at how my debate tournaments have gone so far this season:

Claremont: 3-5 w/ Ryan

APU Swing: 1-3 w/ Rodel
2-3 w/ Janet
Semi-Finals in Open Impromptu

Pretty painful so far, but what can you expect while debating with novices in open. At least we've still managed wins. Hopefully things will turn around with the return of Natalie. She quit her job after coming up 1700$ short in her drawer. After the investigation, they still hadn't exactly figured out how the money disappeared, but they pretty much forced her to leave. At least nothing too terrible came of it other than her having to quit.

Elizabeth got appendicitis last week and had to have her appendix removed on Thursday. She spent Thursday and Friday night at the hospital and was released on Saturday afternoon. She apparently got a pretty sweet set up, they put her on the top floor of Hoag Hospital and had a great ocean view. She also got her first encounter with heavy pain killers. I visited her Saturday night after I got back from judging at the high school tournament. Not much was said as she just wanted to lay down and hug. The past few days we've been hanging out and it's been interesting for a couple of reasons. The first being that she's different under the influence of vicodin. She's a bit nicer and more emotional, which is very unlike her. (*Side note: I believe your name has an influence on your personality and I've noticed all Elizabeth's are really anti show emotion other than happy*) But secondly she's been really touchy feely with me and she even kissed me a couple of times. I'm not sure exactly where things are going with us, I know we've had this friends with benefits status since we broke up, but it's pretty obvious that her actions towards me have been more than that. I feel like we're on the verge of bf/gf again, but I'm trying not to put too much stock in it because of the effects of the drugs. So I'm just trying to lay back and see where this all goes.


Of course last week was my main man, Jimmy's b-day. So in honor of his b-day:



May you be able to stuff your face in something as soft as those.

Here's a song, Bert and Ernie style:



Huh (huh) huh (huh) huh (huh) huh (huh)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

Lil Fame:
Take minks off! Take things off!
Take chains off! Take rings off!
Bracelets is yapped, Fame came off!
(Ante Up!) Everything off!
Fool what you want? We stiflin them fools
Fool what you want? Your life or your jewels?
The rules, (back em down) next thing, (clap em down)
Respect mine we Brooklyn bound, (bound! now, (now!)

Billy Danze:
Brownsville, home of the brave
Put in work in the street like a slave
Keep rugged dress code
Always in this stress mode
(That shit will send you to your grave) So?
You think I don't know that? (BLOW!)
Nigga hold that! (BLOW!) Nigga hold that! (BLOW!) Nigga hold that!
From the street cousin, you know the drill
I'm 900 and 99 thou short of a mill

Chorus:
Ante Up! Yap that fool!
Ante Up! Kidnap that fool!
It's the perfect timin, you see the man shinin
Get up off them god damn diamonds! Huh!
Ante Up! Yap that fool!
Ante Up! Kidnap that fool!
Get him (get him) get him! Hit him (hit him) hit him!
Yap him! (Zap him!) Yap him! (Zap him!)

~Ante Up by M.O.P.


Speaking of B-days, I've begun planning for mine. Right now it looks like it will be a party on Dec 21st(My b-day) which is a Sunday followed by a road trip to SD for 2 nights, the 22 and 23 and we will return on the 24th. What I have yet to figure out is where the party will be at and who wants to come on the road trip. Right now I have a list of DK, Collin and Jimmy who are going to SD. I'll create a facebook group for the party so I know how many people will come to that. If you're interested in either, let me know or if you have any good ideas for where the party should be or what to do in SD, let me know as well.

But you make everything alright, when you hold and you squeeze me

You make me feel so nice, when I’m around with you
Wake up in the morning and ill spend my whole life with you
The sweetness of your smile helps away with all of my fears.
If it should all go wrong my life shall come to tears
I've never been so deep into anyone else but you
A place with in my heart never been so close to you
And if you want me to hang around and I’ll never let go
I'll give you all my time, stick around with you for sure

But you make everything alright, when you hold and you squeeze me tight.
But you make everything alright, when you hold and you squeeze me

If this should not come true, Imma give my heart to you
To keep safe in your arms like i know that you want me to.
It gives me so much joy that I can call you all of mine
Or will it all work out, well I'll see just give it time.
And if it all goes right looking down from a birds eye view,
I’ll see my life made good from the time that I spent with you
I’ll give you anything and everything will work out fine
So i can trust in you because you give me peace of mind.

Cos you are all I want, and you are all I need
Cos you are all I want…

You take me by the hand, because I’m you only man, because I’m your only man, because I’m.

~Squeeze Me by Kraak and Smaak

So things have been going along the past week. I've been busy actually studying and doing homework. Elizabeth and I have been hanging out and still trying to figure out exactly where we are now. It's become a NSA kind of relationship. It's somewhat difficult for me as I have to keep my feelings out of it but at the same time. She's not always in the mood so I also have to keep my lust controlled as well.

Neda and I went out to dinner on Fri last week at Olive Garden. It was great hanging out with her. She told me her and her boyfriend were at the end of their relationship and that she was ready to break it off. So far she hasn't had the chance to sit down and talk to him since he rarely talks to her and never sees her any more. From my perspective this opens another opportunity but I'm not sure if I am ready to pursue it. In addition there is a guy at her work named Jasper who's been trying to make moves on her, but she said she really isn't interested in me. My instincts tell me she wants me. I think at this point I'm just going to sit back and see how things unfold. Until she sorts things out with her boyfriend, I'm not going to really think too much about it. As far as women being interested in me, there are a few other girls but I don't think a relationship is truly viable with any of them. For those keeping track, I haven't changed my facebook status because some of those girls I haven't told I'm single and want to give my self some space before they do the whole "awww I'm so sorry blah blah blah, come over and I'll make you feel better blah blah blah". Not to say that they aren't sincere but most of them have ulterior motives as well. But we all do at one point or another. I guess there's nothing really wrong with it, but I guess when it's so blatant, I just rather avoid it all together.

Speaking of ulterior motives. In debate, one of my favorite arguments is alternate causality. Which basically says there are multiple causes of the problem and the other team only deals with a small portion of the causes and thus can never solve the problem without a holistic view point. Now there are some counter arguments about risk of solvency (passing the plan has a chance to do some good even if it can't completely solve the problems). But so often, alternate causality just chops away so much of the other teams ground and significance, it's a great weapon and can just completely de-link massive arguments. I've now been thinking about how ulterior motives play a roll in policy creation and that the idea of policy "for the people" is just some meaningless tag now. I'm thinking a critical position can be created saying the other team has no real intention of helping people but rather has ulterior motives and this bill which will inevitably be stacked with riders only further entrenches the current political system which continues to deteriorate. In the end, the plan becomes another failed policy which has been ill conceived and used only as a tool to get votes to keep people in power. Just an idea.

My mom has planned a couple of trips for us. A weekend trip to Phoenix and Sedona on Thanksgiving weekend and a 2 week trip to China for Chinese new years on late Jan. Hopefully they will be fun trips.


The Sharks have jumped out a 3-0-0 start. Hopefully they keep it up.

Here's how I'm doing in my hockey leagues so far:
The Crunk Kings of Hockey (points):
Tied for 1st: 118.50 points

Dudes on Hockey (head to head):
The Robber Barons(me): 6
Jacks Baby Mama: 3

Rules of Engagement (PIM):
Tied 4th: 22 points


Amazing...



Lots of fun story lines going on in my life. I'll probably be updating this much more often as there seem to be interesting little things going on all the time now.
Off to class then to dinner for Collin's Birthday

I usually end my posts with a song; today this one goes out to Big C.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLLIN!!!!!

Pretty Buildings

I will dive into my sleep
And I dream of the pretty buildings.
Wonder what she's doing now
And whether she's still living.

Telegraph your points of view
And Sheppard me from silence.
Sitting in this fit of rage,
I fall down from my pedestal.

I don't wanna feel this low again.
I ain't gonna steal your flame again.
I don't wanna feel...

Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!

Flowers bloom in harmony
And mixtapes from the 60's.
Fueled by the LSD,
He looks into his future

I don't wanna feel this low again.
I ain’t gonna steal your flame again.
I don't wanna feel...

Cause you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
Cause you know it hurts like hell!

Honor came and I was dead
Before I left for school.
We paint the smiles onto our heads
And keep away from the animals.

And you know it hurts like hell
So when you reach the top
Just throw yourself off
And you know it hurts like hell
And that's you in a nutshell (x2)

And you know it hurts like hell!
So come out of the closet
Let's talk about it
And you know it hurts like hell!
And that's you in a nutshell!
That's you in a nutshell!

~Pretty Buildings by People in Planes




So Elizabeth and I broke up Wednesday night, Oct 1st. She said her feelings had faded and she didn't feel the same. There was nothing I really could of done. Does it hurt? Yes. But it's not the same as other break ups. It seems like after Lori all my break ups have been rather tame. I guess it's a good thing. Maybe it's a sign of me being more mature. I loved Elizabeth with all my heart but it wasn't enough. I guess the only thing to do, is to move on. I think I'm just going to need some time before I figure out my next move. I have several women in front of me right now that have shown interest, but I don't think I shouldn't do anything for a while. My heart just feels like a fragile pane of glass. When we broke up, I felt as if my heart was about to break for the last time, like it would shatter and I would never recover. Then I felt this calm, like God put his hands in my chest and around my heart and whispered in my ear, "I won't let it break." I shed no tears and simply swallowed the bitter pill. We had a great relationship and I have some wonderful memories that I will carry with me. It's just unfortunate it had to end. I think between me and God, we both know that the next time my heart breaks I will die. I always had this fear of dying by having my throat ruptured, but now I realize my heart breaking is the much more likely possibility.

It's funny how I think about my heart. I have an irregular heart beat. Every time I go to the doctors, they often freak out when they listen to my heart beat and I have to remind them that it's irregular. Every now and then I have to get an EKG to double check. When I was born I was taken to a specialist, supposedly one of the best in the US who lived in LA. He said I would be fine and that it's something I would have to live with all my life, but that it shouldn't impede me. I think that my heart beat has something to do with a spiritual aspect more than a strictly physical one. Love is probably the most important idea there is. For me, I've loved unconditionally. I love my friends, my family and my romances. Over the past several years, I've learned to put disputes and ego to the side. My heart beat is a reminder of the short time we have on this world and that we should love every second we have. I guess in that regard, I could be accused of "loving too much". I would of given her the world to see her happy. I guess the only way for that to happen is to let her go. If I truly love her, then I should be happy for her, as I should with Lori, Amanda, Sandy and all the others who I've felt so strongly about. But I struggle with it because I wonder if they are truly happy. When I've looked into their eyes, I see their inner voice asking for something more. Is it that they are truly missing something? Or is it that they don't realize what they have. I guess in some cases they are, as Amanda is with Curtis, but in others, like Lori, I almost feel compelled to want to save her. But is it even my place to do so??

My dad say that's always been my problem. My want to save people instead of just helping. Maybe it's a control issue, I know that if it's in my hands that I can do something about it. Even if I fail, I will at least be able to bear the burden. I think I was built for it. But at the same time, I know that if I continue to operate in that matter, it will kill me someday. I guess I have to decide on what my roll should be in this world...

I do know this. I don't want to be alone and I don't want another break up. It has to be a sure thing.


In other news, school has been the same. Tons of homework as my two 8 week courses are about to finish up. So far I've printed somewhere ~100 pages in Database homework.

Debate has been blah. Unfortunately I don't have a partner so all I can do is sit on the side and help train the rookies. It's hard to do, but as Captain, it have to be supportive.

I debated the British National team Monday night and beat them by a narrow vote 46-45. Natalie's PMR was all over the place but we still managed to pull it out. I met this really cute reporter from the school news paper a few days before the debate. She interviewed me about the upcoming match and then I invited her to come and do a full story on it. She ended up bringing a photographer and I even set her up to do an interview with the British debaters. I encouraged her to come to the debate team and see a meeting on Friday. We'll see if she shows. She is half Chinese (Taiwanese to be exact, but we all know they're Chinese) and half Mexican just like me!


HOCKEY SEASON IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year I'm in 3 fantasy hockey leagues:
The Crunk Kings of Hockey
Rules of Engagment
Dudes on Hockey

Here's a breakdown of each league and my team:

The Crunk Kings of Hockey
Type: Points

Center:
Joe Thornton
(SJ - C)
Jason Spezza
(Ott - C)
Patrick Marleau
(SJ - C)

Left Wing:
Brian Rolston
(NJ - LW)
Dustin Byfuglien
(Chi - LW,D)

Right Wing:
Daniel Alfredsson
(Ott - RW)
Devin Setoguchi
(SJ - RW)
Shane Doan
(Pho - RW)

Defensemen:
Wade Redden
(NYR - D)
Andrej Meszaros
(TB - D)
Kimmo Timonen
(Phi - D)
Dan Boyle
(SJ - D)
Andrei Markov
(Mon - D)

Goalies:
Martin Brodeur
(NJ - G)
Evgeni Nabokov
(SJ - G)
Niklas Backstrom
(Min - G)


Overall a pretty kick ass team. As long as my players get their dual position eligibility, I should be good to go. My goalie squad is killer. I think I can have a run away in that category.



Rules of Engagement
Type: Points (PIM only)

Center:
Nik Antropov
(Tor - C,RW)
Bobby Holik
(NJ - C)

Left Wing:
Daniel Carcillo
(Pho - LW)

Right Wing:
Eric Godard
(Pit - RW)
Zack Stortini
(Edm - RW)

Defensemen:
Shane O'Brien
(Van - D)
Douglas Murray
(SJ - D)



As long as Carcillo did what he did last year, I should win this league by ~200 points. The best part is that he managed to put up that many penalties in only 56 games. Imagine a full season. This is one of those rare instances where having the #2 pick overall = awesome thanks to the first person to draft, drafted like it was a regular league.



Dudes on Hockey
Type: Head to Head

Centers:
Henrik Sedin
(Van - C)
Jordan Staal
(Pit - C,LW)
Mikko Koivu
(Min - C)
R.J. Umberger
(Cls - C)

Left Wings:
Alexander Ovechkin
(Was - LW)
Simon Gagne
(Phi - LW)

Right Wings:
Martin St. Louis
(TB - RW)
Teemu Selanne
(Anh - RW)
Jonathan Cheechoo
(SJ - RW)

Defensemen:
Dustin Byfuglien
(Chi - LW,D)
Filip Kuba
(Ott - D)
Michal Rozsival
(NYR - D)
Adrian Aucoin
(Cgy - D)
Craig Rivet
(Buf - D)

Goalies:
Niklas Backstrom
(Min - G)
Mike Smith
(TB - G)
Jason LaBarbera
(LA - G)

This will be the toughest league. 14 people head to head. I have a pretty solid forward core with Ovechkin, St Louis, Selanne, and Sedin. The biggest weakness on this team will be the goalies. We'll see how it works out.

Puck drops tonight. Go Sharks!!!!



Good night and sweet dreams.
