while the games area on UCD is far from perfect, the MVC1 there's pretty much a steal... 25 cents to play, but wait... 25 cents gives your 5 CREDITS! heh heh... no wonder why everytime i watch someone play against the computer, they offer me to play against them... THAT'S WHY. and yet i STILL can't combo into Chun-Li's air super combo after 20 credits?

lesse, i just visited this site on the net... somewhat sick, but has all these really funny pictures... check it out if you can stomach yourself....

my personal favorite was the squirrel which had male genetalia... heh heh

another lesson relearned: better to study spread over day by day, than by trying to cram it all in the last day. too much info. well, for me, almost like that... i crammed it in the last 2 days. not good, not good. another mistake re-done... how many times til i actually learn God? anyways, if i do get an A on this chem test it would certainly be all you; not that i did that bad, but i don't feel too confident either.

if i can just find some pro audio recording gear... that is under $20... for a laptop.

watched some guy wiping the floor with Chun-Li playing MVC1... oh man, must re-learn that game...

aside from the SAS term paper #3 and Math midterm #3(concentrating on the big events here), i'm pretty much free til thanksgiving break... gonna have some fun breaking out my guitar and going to the MU(they're separate events... i don't play the guitar in the arcade).

AAAAAAAAAA IIIIIIIII! w00t! wipe that floor! wipe that floor!

reading plans... get done with "The Case For Christ" and "Celebration of Discipline" before i end this school year.

although i still yearn for home... there's still another advantage to being in davis besides the high-speed internet access... the winter's a lot more pleasant around here... it's not THAT frigid in the morning, you might even think that it's a somewhat cold spring going on. i get along just fine with a t-shirt, jeans, and long-sleeved jersey.

and i thought norman and laura's legs were white when we went to socal... the cold's kinda pushing all my blood vessels away from my skin. yesterday, when i was taking off my socks to go shower, i seriously took a look at my feet and wondered out loud... "what the hell?!? am i turning byron?!?" pasty-white feet of mine...

how sick would it be to high-5 someone while you're taking a piss?

i wonder how many classes jon's gonna miss in the morning... as i sit here typing this, he just missed another one

ok, so i know god wants us to learn from our mistakes; problem is, we want instant results whereas god tries us and wants us to be patient; i wonder how many mistakes it takes for me to take before i start learning not to make them... stuff like forcing myself to study, to give my teachers what they expect in a paper... geez, that bad omen of mine? somewhat true... not that i got a 65%, but that i got what i didn't want... a par grade. so again... how long? how many?

persistence is god-sent... so is self-control, both of which i need to train myself in...

heh heh... the davis cafeteria's serving trix "nooo... silly rabbit, trix are for kids! damn longears trying to take easter away from jesus! ok you were saying?"

i really dislike how the construction workers are NEVER done with installing the firm alarms in the buildings... for crying out loud, just get it done, instead of trying to wake us all up with your annoying drilling every day! even those that are up are having a dang hard time trying to study above that ruckus.

ok, gonna turn off laptop, and head to the library to study for chem midterm on thursday. i really need to be hard on myself... it's not that i haven't been trying to keep up with work, but i personally work better in TOTAL silence. my stomach's full, so that guarentees maybe 1-2 hrs worth of good study time. pray for me.

diaoh.com... too good; too many good Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution tournament matches to watch...

ok, the blurb-site problem WAS my computer... got it fixed... thanks again, bob.

conversation with a long-time MVHS friend:
me: is work hard @ berkeley?
nikhil: hahaha
nikhil: no, not especially
nikhil: just normal I guess
nikhil: more reading though
nikhil: but less writeen
nikhil: so it balances
me: yeah, i guess there's less written stuff in college, but it seems like there's so much less time, since you actually WANT to be prepped for class
nikhil: hahahaha
nikhil: That may be
me: except for my short calc class... i can fall asleep in that and be just fine :-)
nikhil: hahaha, I do that with mine too

i just HAD to run outta correction tape yesterday when i COULD'VE gotten my chem lab done... auuurgh.

bad omen? dream of getting a 65% on a midterm essay... another prediction from God? tossed and turned last night wondering if it was going to be true.

ok, back to work... somebody please tell me if they're seeing the background of the tables(or boxes) of this blurb-site of mine as a green... it's been ticking me off, but it may just be me.

you have to check this out: go to downloads.com, and download this:

Ots CD Scratch 1200

too funny, like your own turntable for your PC... for free... too bad you can't record what you make, or play mp3s. but then you could always burn your mp3s eh? the only REAL problem is that you can't use 2 hands while doing this... only 1 action essentially at one time. no scratching while messing with the crossfader. but anyhow, had too much fun screwing around with my Linkin Park CD.

ok, just came back from church... online church... ain't that a weird feeling? http://www.day7.tv i've said it before, all of us have grown spiritually, even though you don't think about it; see, norm even invited me to watch his church via the online site. and we had some chit-chat about how the worship service seemed shallow cause we were watching it more than participating. then he joked how he should go wearing something noticeable and tell me to log in.

then wes asked me how my spiritual life was goin, and we had some chit-chat about that... sez he's into ecclesiastes.

nevertheless, here's what i got from the sermon on Genesis chapter 4:

Genesis 4
-The 1st physical death
-This followed the 1st spiritual death, separation from God
-Children have this sinful nature due to the 1st couple
-After man's sin, they were commanded to work
-It could be a testimony to work hard for Christ; he commands us to
-2nd Tess: If you don't work, you don't eat
-You could have fellowship with God AS LONG AS you have the proper attitude; a proper attitude simply comes from the heart(which is the reason why God didn't look on favor towards Cain)
-When 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, I am there with them
-Part of worship is giving
-David: a man after God's heart
-Think about when Jesus saw a widow giving out 2 copper coins
-God loves a cheerful giver
-Most of our anger hurts ourselves, since the other person doesn't even know about it
-God WAS trying to reason with Cain and help him
-NOTHING is hidden
-Ecclesiates: Fear God and keeps his commands, cause God will bring every action into judgment, good or bad
-Matt 10:32-33: If you acknowledge Jesus b4 men, he'll acknowledge you b4 God, but if you disown him b4 men, he'll disown you b4 God

(conversation on group worship on thanksgiving friday)

(me trying to type with my right hand while eating tacos from del taco)
wes: whats luwen's email
me: gimme a sec, i've got hot sauce on my left hand
wes: haha
wes: aite

damn site still doesn't fix the weird green background color! and i am honest in saying i'm not doing anything to the site! i really hope it clears tomorrow.

you'd think i'd learn after the 1st mistake but nooo.... i woke up at 9:00, shut the alarm clock off, and went right back to sleep... right til 12:00. so marks another weekend of missing church. i wonder if God's annoyed at me... i remember thinking to myself why we need a church, and based on what i've thought of, of course it's not necessary as long as you can find ways to learn from God and praise him, but still... we need to keep the sabbath day holy, and unless if i can find some way to do it today, uhh...

heh heh... 1:30 AM marks the 1st time i played mahjong... against lydia, jerm and norm. that was fun. of course, lydia beat us all ;) too bad jon wasn't in on the fun.

right now there's something weird going on with this blurb-site of mine... the background color of the tables are all green... usually they're white. but i don't remember typing any new commands in the template... so i think it should clear up soon... hopefully.

i am so tired today... just work, work, work today.

i hate chem labs... now i didn't say i hated chem, i said i hated chem labs... those things take forever to do a write-up... god knows how many times i screwed up, scribbled out my errors, and continued writing today. i could've been studying for my upcoming chem test if i didn't have that to do... and my midterm paper. and beyond that... couldve been playing guitar. and i'm not even done with that as i sit writing this.

just to write this down so i don't forget the numerous churches around here: http://www.davis411.com/cat/subcat/churches.cfm; will try the University Covenant Church tomorrow.

there are mostly parks around here, not much outside of that. though there's some japanese eateries, pho, and some chinse.

Linkin Park- High Voltage sounds so much better when it's recorded live, like during their House of Blues concert.

-finish chem lab
-start chem prelab
-study for thur chem test
-midterm paper due wed before thanksgiving
and on top of that, i should finish writing down the chorded versions of our planned worship songs... see how much time you high schoolers get? be grateful for what you've got.
