kinda hard to get your 5 fruits and vegetables a day at Davis WHEN THE FRUIT IS SO ROCK HARD I CAN'T SCOOP MY KIWIFRUIT OUT OF THE SKIN, ISN'T IT?!?!? geez, you're actually DISCOURAGING me from my 5-a-day.

still have to edit my lyrics of my new song a bit, then comes the fun part... the guitar filling.

mwhahaha! louis was right; megaflicks indeed! ;) (you HAVE to see this)

top this, shakespeare ;)
(this is what i've got so far for my next song)

Unknown to the world
-based upon Proverbs 1:7

(freestyle)
everything is rushing right over my head
drowning down right in a pool of thoughts
not swimming just sinking trapped down
in a world of shallowness
now, inside this world knowledge is power
but you saw me and called me 'gain
pulled me up now i find what it takes to float
and i can say

doom crowds near
a word permeates the filth
the unknown to the world
are the secrets you revealed
this gives me strength

(freestyle)
like a flame that consumes inside of me
a flaming warmth that you set on fire to see
the spirit of one who loves just cause it's he
and never ever forsakes me
they will never put it out this gift
the burning for you the warmness of bliss
fear the Lord and the wisdom begins
acknowledge him and the healing is in

a circle of tension surrounds the loner
the flames nearly consume him
a filter of light peeks outta his chest
and it disperses his pains

talked some w/this girl i knew back from the christian club at MVHS in short calc; weird how i know her name, but she doesn't know mine, but we talked some; mainly it was about math and fellowships though. no introductions to each other though; i guess it's just cause we've seen each other in the club, but never really talked w/each other.

current hobbies to pass the time(when i'm not studying) in Davis:
-watch Jon play CS
-chat on AIM w/ppl from back home
-watch Family Guy episodes dl'd from the net
-watch VF tourney videos
-surf the net: VF, effect pedals, music, email
-listen to (christian) rock/hip-hop
-jam on my guitar
-songwrite
-watch TV
-play MVC2, Tekken 3, CVS2 (sigh, no VF4 Evo)

and yet i'm bored... why? cause i can do ALL of those things at home, except the high-speed internet stuff and cable stuff, but that really doesn't bother me: i never really spent too much time online at home. and notice how there's no socializing placed up there, because that's how much ppl keep to themselves! but i guess it's not THAT bad; from what i gather from David's blogspot, it seems the youth group at home is getting just as desolate as well. all in all, all of us are probably looking forward to Thanksgiving when we come back.

yay... david from back home picked up me or bob's habit of typing crud on a website! (see link on left)

i feel so sleepy... 5.5 hours just doesn't cut it. feelin better as the day goes by though... until i have to go to my next class.

oh yeah, my headphones are great... they block out all the noise i heard outside, but everything sounds muffled outside. and since i wear glasses, it hurts my ears.

memorable quote for quite some time: i was in my Science and Society class, and we were discussing the issue of immigration. someone brought up that we aren't as mixed together as we think we are; for instance in high school we are intent on sticking together in our own little ethnic groups. that prompted some line from the professor that went along the lines of:
"so then America's not a melting pot; it's tossed salad?"
;) mwhahahahah

there really HAS got to be more to life than studying, work, and success. how can this ever keep you happy?

... blank for now, and i hate the fact that everything overwhelms me. EE-VEE-RYY-THING. nothing really lifting me up. or it could just be that the amount of work i think i need to do overwhelms me. i dislike the idea that i just can't get everything done right now. and that i have no motivation to do partway work right now.

...maybe i should just try going to the gym.

amp, flanger, (wah,) overdrive/distortion, (octave,) guitar; hmmm.... good setup? technically, i could just lose the flanger, but i'm not too good with the whole foot timing with the wah.

i'd really like to get an octave pedal. the octave pedal enables you to play @2 different octaves in the same key at one time. enables solo guitar playing to sound a bit more "full."

yeah... the wah or flanger CAN work into worship songs; Chris Tomlin - Forever; go back, listen to that(adds that to list of songs to play on Thanksgiving break)

still love the effect pedals.... LOOOOVE them.

pho is good.... it's the only sign of azn-ish ness around here in davis.

oh yeah, family guy is THE SHIZNIT!

recently found a new praise song that i like; or i should be more specific; that i've heard many times but forgot what it was and what it was called: Hungry. if you're sampling from the internet, i suggest the Matt Redman or Vineyard version, cause then you can hear the overdrive sound for the fills and the nice riff. still doesn't beat Not Be Shaken, Forever, and Arise though; i still think those give you the best ability to kick loose and just WORSHIP GOD! YEEEEAAA! and definitely doesn't beat 12 Stones(ok, so they're not a worship group, but they still KICK ARSE! heh heh)
