great... this week is the 1st time i've become seriously sick at davis... i threw up all over my bedroom carpet in the middle of the night, so it WAS hecka nasty, made worse by the fact that i threw up spaghetti(think of the hard-to-clean-redness)... luckily it took me about $4 to clean MOST of the stains up... i'll thank safeway for the foam carpet cleanser... when will i ever learn... i WANT to say i got sick cause i ate bad spaghetti, but it could have been likely caused by a lack of sleep(have GOT to go to sleep EARLY), plus not covering my bedsheets properly, giving me a cold, headache feeling... don't worry, i'm better now... i basically didn't eat thursday, cause anything i stuffed in my mouth(including just water), i threw up... *sigh* when will i ever learn.
wayne brady is hecka funny... the episode where he's seen on chappelle's show made him look hecka badass, defying his clean-cut image... google "wayne brady" "dave chappelle" and click on the 1st link... you will die hard... "is wayne brady going to have to choke a bitch?"
am i surprised to see ginobili actually TOP this week's top 10 countdown... i didn't think he'd make it, considering that there were 2-3 kobe replays of his doing clutch plays, and 1 of shaq... but he's so far got 70% of the vote... are ppl seriously taking ginobili for real now? the replay had him drive by 3 grizzlies and dunk on pau... sweeet... there was one on the countdown too where dunleavy had a SWEET no look pass behind to jrich for the dunk... spurs are most likely going to win against the grizzlies in 5, maybe in 4.
chris mullin is now vice prez of warriors... maybe we can expect GOOD decisions from our management now? i am praying and hoping hard... warriors have had a history of the most stupidest management decisions... case in point, we had cwebb and spre once and actually made it into the playoffs... and last year, we ALMOST made it... only to start from scratch this year... well, can't blame everything on management... damp's prob going to leave on his own, so we'll need another good center... foyle's good already, but we'll prob need a backup... gonna miss damp... above-average center, we were really lucky to have him... a good defensive player.
oatmeal contains so much dietary fiber... about 1/4 of the recommended daily serving... this is quality carbs at its best... i decided to just buy a large can of that instead of the usual cereal i get... and the real stuff(not the instant oatmeal with the seasonings mixed in) is so filling... oatmeal sweetened with dark brown sugar is up there with orowheat's whole wheat bread as one of the better forms of carbs... definitely...
i have a little pet peeve with college freshmen in love... while i admit, it always varies from ppl to ppl, it just seems like when they're like that, they're just rushing into things... and if they're both christians, yet talk about each other all the time, then IMO that makes it seem like they don't have the right focus... in fact, i think i have a LOT of pet peeves... this is just one of them...
sometimes i wish i could swear in God's name so that i would actually carry out what i wished i could do... but i am afraid that i am going to break my promise, and then, where does that lie for me?
i'm out of ideas at the moment, so...
that's all from me for this week.

i have GOT to cut down my time that i spend on my cpu... i should only post on this site once a week... i eat up so much of my time that way... so this is prob my last post for this week...
pillar's new album comes out june 15th, and chances are that's the next cd i'm gonna get... i still like sanctus real, 12 stones, and jeremy camp, but i think it'll be good to increase my cd collection by adding a new artist, not a new album... besides, i really like "bring me down"
there is a possibility that my nephew could be borne on the same date as my mom... and speaking of that, michelle's planning on attending johnny's wedding which occurs about 2 weeks after the due date... not too sure if this seems a bit rushed... for michelle... give or take about 2 weeks, and i'll be an uncle... becoming an uncle seems like becoming a father, but not really...
ucd now has coke icees! ownage... btw, icees seem to have less ounces when you buy them, but they also seem to be comprised of more liquid than ice compared to 7-eleven's slurpee... so go figure... 1.35 for a large icee, 1.48 for an extra large slurpee that doesn't seem to last as long... plus, if you have a card at ucd, every 5th icee you buy, you get a free medium icee... weird, considering how much davis jacks up the stuff you can buy in their on-campus stores...
have yet to feel real peace at davis for a long time... and i feel this is partially due to the fact that i have not been able to control my time lately well, leading to me constantly trying to catch up... and partially because i don't spend time with God... in meditation... in songwriting(well, that's debatable how much time you can spend time with God when creating and cut and pasting drumloops)... it's the little things that add up for me...
you become less of a man when you think that you are better than others just because you have the right religion...
God... others... me...

Absence of Mustaine on New Pillar Album
Saturday, April 17, 2004
It was earlier reported that Pillar cowrote a song with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth (who is now a Christian). This bit of news is true, but it was also said that this song was to be put on Pillar's new album. Sadly, this news is not true. Although it will not be on "Where Do We Go From Here?", Pillar is planning to release it to the public in the future.
Switchfoot's Impromptu Minneapolis Set
Thursday, April 15, 2004
As Jon Foreman belted the song out in a scratchy, road-weary voice, I couldn't help but feel a little proud when I saw the band I'd been listening to since its Legend of Chin days play on "the big show" in front of all kinds of impressionable kids who had just watched Eminem's new video with D-12 only moments before. In those three minutes, they were hearing a message that MTV isn't usually selling, "We were meant to live for so much more! Have we lost ourselves?" It almost seemed to be the antithesis of what the network is all about; yet there they were playing at that very place.
And with all the airplay the band has been getting lately with "Meant to Live," and now, "Dare You to Move," people who've never heard them before are finding out what I've been buzzing about for a while. My 22-year-old brother, Casey, (the coolest kid in Wisconsin, in my humble opinion, of course) is one of those people.
He, my sister, Lindsey and some of their friends were hoping to see Switchfoot play in Minneapolis last night. The band has played in the Twin Cities area several times, so tickets have begun to sell better and better each time. While that's great for the band, it wasn't so great for my siblings as they didn't get to go to the show.
But then something unexpectedly cool happened. My brother went down to the venue to pick up some tickets for another upcoming show when he bumped into Switchfoot lead singer Jon Foreman.
Instead of the usual "Hi, nice to meet you" pleasantries that bands and fans usually exchange, Jon grabbed his guitar and told the crowd of 20 or so that waited outside, "I know a lot of you didn't get tickets for tonight's show," and proceeded to play an impromptu three-song set on the street in front of the venue. He even asked a homeless man who was seated next to him to join in on his bongos.
With this gesture, the band probably made 20 new fans that night. But more importantly, they were able to extend kindness in an impressionable place outside of the walls of the church. Now, that really makes me proud all over again.
wow... someone from megadeath is now christian? blows my mind... wasn't a BIG fan of them, but they were heavy metal, and i've heard them before...
that's switchfoot... to be honest, that is awfully nice of jon to do that...

sam's right...
the nba is so pc...
that's why ron artest and not ben wallace was named defensive player of the year...
ron artest may have been the most improved... but i would still want ben wallace as a defender over ron artest on my team anyday... his improvement on the offensive end is a nice touch, but it shouldn't come into play judging a player's defensive prowess...
the only reason he was picked is cause he's a guard, and many ppl think a big man who doesn't try to shoot like ben wallace is boring... don't believe me? in a poll, ppl think the best matchup in the nba is kobe on tmac, over shaq on yao, over duncan on kg... ppl like offense... not to mention rick charlisle constantly advocating ron artest... you think larry brown's been spending his time advocating ben wallace? let the skills speak for themselves.
i would love to see spurs on pistons for the nba finals, or twolves on pacers...
