These Guys...

Are just about the best Comic Guys you could ask for. Yes, i collect comics. And they make me happy, so what!?

I'd like to have a serious conversation about who your favorite superhero is. 

: D

Rawr

So, i had my braces tightened today...*sigh*

Right after some amazing sushi at Crazy Sushi.

That was depressing. i was like...well here's to eating my last good meal in awhile...

Even in the Office...

Taken at work, since life working for the state is monotonous and dull. 

The Munny-with-Stunnas has a blue heart on his head, made from a paper clip, if you couldn't see. And he found the BlueMarker that corresponds to his heart. Hopefully you all find your BlueMarker.

Huh. Dream number 273 accomplished?

As of Friday, August 22nd, I am the proud owner of an Apple iPhone.

Yes, yes, i know. Took me long enough? WHATEVER. >:O

I'm happy. Well. About as happy as you can get via materialistic needs.

It's like an immunization that doesn't last for hella long; You get your hit, and you're set for a while, but then it's like, "Damn, i need something else."

Ok maybe not immunization...

Needle with crack?

Not for me. Sorry. And I've got the problem of still having a boring job and now i'm 430 dollars broke-er than i would've been had i not called AT&T Elk Grove, being the curious cat that i am. 

Take that living life. I have an iPhone.

But besides that, my life has been retardedly hectic. Like depressingly chaotic.

So there's me trying to live life on 50 bucks...after the iPhone.

And i argue with the parents on a daily basis because i have impulsive shopping habits.

And i owe them 60 for random things. Two shirts, and a rafting trip.

Then i had to deal with my ex-gf midweek last week.

She had the idea that i wanted to be with her forever. *shiver*

YEESH. Ok sorry, but i enjoy relationships as much as the next guy-who's-not-afraid-of-relationships but i can't handle a commitment like that. Not to mention she wanted to live with me and i still live with my parents? What makes her think that she could do something like that???

Stupid me.

That's why i'm single now. Well at least i no longer, "love the wrong person." Right? 

GOGOGADGET(!) allusion to previous publishments!

Alliteration and allusion. hehe. I love and hate the english language.

Anyways.

So i dealt with that by bringing her to her friend's house in Stockton, the city, and not answering her phone calls until i was ready to tell her that we were through.

I didn't want to be super rude and just not answer her phone calls. And besides, she probably needs closure. So i answered one of her calls and told her that we can't be together because she fucks up my life too much.

I probably didn't say that, but it's what i wanted to say in my head.

And unfortunately, my life is still complicated. And boring. And confusing. And other synonyms of complicated and boring and confusing and still even more run-on sentences.

And i guess i've got to read up on Biden now...since it'll be Obama-Biden, everywhere.

*sigh* Politics ruin my life. In too many ways.

Ok end rant. Have fun with your life.

Lovely.

Here we are in lovely Lake Tahoe, where the air is thin and the sea of green, composed of redwoods, pines and firs, never ends. Spending time with the family makes me remember how easy it is to get angry at the ones closest to you. But that's beside the point.

I'm spending the next two days here in lovely lake tahoe so I should make the most of it. Yeah weird...I'm coming home on tuesday. WTF, right?

But, I get to spend my days in an amazing resort that complements our moderately sized timeshare. It's complete with indoor and outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and a gym with a sauna connected to the bathrooms. I don't want to leave for the next week...

But then again, I'll be missing out on other important things than relaxing, like work and love and school...eh.
Those can take a back seat to the beauty and relaxation of the scenic and lovely Lake Tahoe.

*sigh* if only I wasn't sarcastic.
Get me outta here.

Olympic History...

This is potentially the greatest day in American Olympic Swimming history, or AOSh for short. Pronounced Ay-OSH. Or even OW-sh.

Mark Spitz, once heralded as the greatest swimmer in olympic history, won seven gold medals and broke seven world records at the 1972 Olympic Games. They used to think he was untouchable.

Now in 2008, Michael Phelps has set an unprecedented 8 gold medals in the same olympic games. Never in Olympic history has a single person been awarded that many medals in one games. What a freakin' Phe-nom. Yeah, i said it.

I just got home from a family party. We were obviously watching the olympics, but it was some random event; i believe it was women's marathon. Eagerly awaiting the more mainstream events, we started talking about Phelps, since someone brought him up. I nonchalantly listened in, chiming in to say that he's won 7 medals in one olympic games. And it seemed almost normal, like he was expected to win so much. Or maybe it was from fatigue from sitting for two hours watching one woman run 27 miles...

Anyways, so i get home and am frustrated by the ride in the car, because i have a problem with my parents...

And we go to the HDTV to spot some more olympic action. I missed out on the 41-year old swimmer's race. Turns out that her name is Dara Torres, and she missed out on gold, unfortunately, losing to a German swimmer. I can see that she's slightly disappointed, but there's another race for her right after the medal ceremony. So i stay tuned. It's a relay race, but i switch in between commercials to peep women's weightlifting. Awkward...

So the race starts and Dara is the last leg of the race in the freestyle position. The first person in the relay does really well putting USA half of a body length in front, and then the second swimmer lets the team down by losing the lead and falling around fourth place, then the third leg keeps up a little with the Australian team, doing alright, then Dara steps up to the plate (lane?). And i'm thinking, man she must be really tired of silver. And yet, there she is on the podium in silver. Yeesh.

So the men's swimming team walks into the Water Cube ready to do business. A montage of Spitz's achievements are played before the event and the announcer's voice is comparing the events happening today with Phelps, to the historic moments of 1972. And i'm thinking in the back of my head, 

"Man they've already got the champagne and confetti in the back," i'm guessing.

And then i think, uh-oh, the women let Dara down. Will they do the same to Phelps?

And i watch as the tension rises as the first swimmer for the USA jumps into the pool, doing very well, almost a whole body length in the lead. Then the second swimmer keeps his cool, staying in the lead, and we begin to feel the anxiety as the Australian swimmer starts to creep up to the American. But Phelps is on deck for Butterfly, and i'm assured that he's going to make himself, his country, and his mother, proud. He pulls away and gives the last leg of the race a half of a body length of a lead. And the last swimmer finishes the race breaking a world record, just to put icing on the cake. 

Phelps makes history and solidifies his status as the best Olympian swimmer of our era; Perhaps of all time?

So guys...

Where were you when Michael Phelps won his eighth Gold medal?

Uhhh. What the good morning...?

OK. Wtf.

My first blog and i'm already complaining about life.

No this isn't a rant.

Ok it might be?

I tried to get some nice sleep after fretting about my student assistant job, but as in life, things aren't as easy as you want them to be.

Yeesh. I tried to go to sleep early because i was effing tired. 

But i just randomly woke up at 11:45 pm (Pacific time) because it feels like:

A) The sun came to personally visit me in my room 5 hours earlier than everyone else

B) I have this nagging urge to read comics in bed

C) I don't have the control for the ceiling fan in my room, so my dad is freakin bugging me

D) i just wanted there to be a D because i like multiple choice. ;D

Thanks Life maybe i'll write something more meaningful and poetic later, yeah?
