today
today our usual group gathered for dinner
it felt like we hadn’t let UMBC
but then again it felt like something was missing
thai wasn’t there
i was pretty sad
oh well i’m sure i’ll see him again some day
hope you’re doing well if you’re reading this thai!
anyways after dinner
we went to my room we chilled out
played some guitar hero
it was a jolly old time
around 8:30 PM we headed for the RAC
upon getting there, the gym was wide open for use!
luckily we had a frisbee and we got to toss it around for a good while
it felt really good
i mean really good
then we ran, did push ups, sit ups, etc
we did that for about an hour and a half
it was a pretty wicked workout
my legs hurt
my abs feel like diamonds
my arms are steel
we’ve decided to do this everyday
but then again i’m not sure i can do it everyday plus future ultimate practice?
well i’m sure i’ll figure something out
i also realized coming to UMBC has made my calorie intake to sky rocket
i wish i could just have light snacks throughout the day but of course my meal plan forbids such things
i have to shovel food into my stomach while i can
well i’m sure i’ll survive somehow
oh yeah PJ, maybe carlos and i decided to try a marathon by the end of our college career
XX number of miles?
man i’m going to need to train a lot
well i’m out for now
training schedule?!
so i got an email describing the new ultimate practice schedule
man i’m disappointed!
we only have practice 3 times a week
if i’m not mistaken the practice follows as..
tuesday 1-4 erickson
wednesday 8-10 RAC
friday 3-5 erickson
well at least we have meeches morning conditioning
and we might have throwing practice!
so i’m not too disappointed
here a super cool picture of ultimate frisbee, i promise you i didn’t edit this at all

cool isn’t it?
anyways
well at this very moment i feel kinda dumb for laughing so hard
alone in my “apartment”
hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahaha!
i have class soon so peace for now
back to my “apartment”
so here i am back in my apartment
everything is the same
classes seems pretty straight forward and easy
what i really can’t wait for is ultimate practice
i’ve been in withdrawal from not playing for so long
anyways
i have class soon so peace for now!
(a more “hearty” post later tonight)
EDIT:
oh yeah i forgot to say i changed the layout
this one fits my “needs” better
winding down
break is coming to a close
here are some random thoughts and happenings
yesterday was pretty eventful
i got a sweet new hair cut
(i’ll put some pictures later)
i got a tiz-ight new pair of kicks!
they’re a pair of adidas samba’s
excellent shoes i must say
anyways a side story
as i was standing in line to pay for my shoes i got a phone call from one of my peeps
since i had all the goods in my hand it took a bit of time to get my phone
if you don’t know
my ringtone is “rapper’s delight”
its an old school rap song
anyways it was my turn in the line and the cashier was black
(i am not saying all black people listen to rap)
but she happens to say to me
“man, thats ol’ school right thur, mmhmm!”
hahahah!
man i thought she was awesome
we go on to talk and agree it would appear our thoughts on rap were quite similar
i remember she also said
“that’s when rap had a meaning, not the crap today”
amazing!
that’s it
oh by the way
kohl’s was having an amazing sale that day
everything was 60%-90% off!
i went straight to the 90% rack
i got 2 shirts each costing $3.60
holy crap it felt awesome
well last night/early this morning
my brothers and i had a fairly amusing chill session
of course it had a lot of laughs about really random stuff
ranging from the amount of calories in a senzu bean (DBZ)
to “BBB” you meet at sauna’s
(we laughed about that for a pretty long time)
we also talked a lot about one particular ultimate frisbee game
it took place at the EARL tournament
did i mention it was single most amazing game i had ever played in my entire life?
holy grande size poop
the insane catches
(carlos)
surreal like snags in the air
(me)
layouts and hammers
(carlos)
sidelines freaking out
(all of booya)
freakin’ 7 point come back
good gosh
i wanna go back in time just to play in that game again
unfortunately
PJ was unavailable to play at that game
i felt bad for him
….SIKE!
hahahahahah!
anyways we also had time to talk about some serious stuff too
oddly enough
(as we were chilling)
i realized during this break i’ve matured more than i have my entire life
i’m not sure how
maybe cause of work
or exercising
or a regulated schedule
or maybe it’s blogging?!
i’m not really sure
but it seems as though i’ve become more mature
when i say mature, i mean it in the broadest sense possible
physically
mentally
emotional
probably in every aspect that can possibly come to mind
putting this into words is a little difficult
but i guess people from high school might notice
i wanna play ultimate
i can’t wait for spring training and tournaments to come around
(oh if you didn’t know PJ, and carlos are the “brothers” i was referring to)
EDIT: I went back to proofread this briskly, i found an unbelievable number of errors
piles of stuff
man these past few days have been kinda eventful?
yesturday i had to watch the cleaners for some 6 hours
wasn’t much work

well i did do some work
working out
i actually developed a new training technique
i call it
“drying bagging cleaning”
i have no idea why i call it that

(if you’re curious as to who took the pictures, it was my sister)
i did some of that
and did a lot of this

well after many hours of that crap
i went to circuit city
and got a brand spanking zune zune zune!
woooo!
this thing is soooo tiz-ight
here are some pictures of the opening process

the box was really small, but oddly enough pretty heavy

here are the accessories it came with
a proprietary USB cable
and ‘premium earbuds’
not really premium
but definitely better than what you would normally get from a stock mp3 player

the boxes and some of the manuels
the receipt and some other random crap
and finally my zune connected and functional

oh what fun i’m going to have with this little device!
to be honest i was skeptical about the software it was coming with
but the interface isn’t too bad
it doesn’t take up too many resource as apposed to itunes
only thing that kinda pisses me off is the fact it only supports WMV, and M4V video files
not only that
i have to manually convert all my files into a compatible format
took me a few hours to find a decent program that would convert the files for free without any watermarks
or other random limitations
i’m hoping in the future they’ll have some firmware/software updates to fix some stuff
but all in all
the zune is bangin’
(my back pocket is really light now)
pc for now
the other day

old friends
as i thought
she’s still the same good person i remember
i really wanted to talk more
but i always end up forgetting what i was going to say
cause i’m always retarded
i need to write memos or something
more stuff
so after reading PJ’s post on his brother
i was relieved
i wanted to visit paolo as well
unfortunately the hospital was some ways south of here
but i’m glad to hear paolo is doing well
ah well..
on with other stuff
its funny how the past can just really, really randomly come up
i mean really randomly
ha, i got you curious as to what i’m talking about
sorry holmes can’t say what
but
i can say its not always a bad thing
well
in a few minutes PJ, and carlos should be here for breakfast again
so i gotta ‘dipset’ as gian would say
expect a less vague post later
gnarly
so i woke up with morning
i went to the bathroom
to brush my teeth
in the process
i got some toothpaste on my shirt
so i decided to change my shirt
i took my shirt off and then saw myself in the mirror
holy poo
i’m either delusional or sit ups actually work
a random life
so how is life?
to the very few people that actually read this blog
i wonder a lot
about..
..everything?
i have so much random shizzle swirling in my head its pretty unbelievable
the other day someone said a few words to me
they weren’t anything special
yet
they brightened me up to no end
pretty crazy
i wonder if i could do that too
i went a grocery store yesturday
not kleins
but anyways
i went and picked up a few goodies from good old weis market
as i got in my car with my groceries
i saw an old lady, she was struggling to get across the street
i just sat there and watched her, thinking
‘i need to help her’
instead of acting, i watched her walk all the way across
then i thought
‘good job, you just sat here doing nothing’
in the end i got my shit together
i got out of my car helped her the rest of the way
and got a thanks in return
it felt good
i read something a friend wrote
i was surprised
he doesn’t seems like the type of person with worries or problems
i was wrong
but he has something he really likes
just like me
frisbee
i had fried chicken today
four whole piece
a wing
a thigh
a wing
a wing
and ten potato wedges
it was good
i regret it now, oh well
i could go all day
but i’ll end it here
