Whyyy?? - Part 2

I’m not in existential crisis! Just the opposite. I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaningless in a universe that has no meaning—that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe that has meaning . . . [to Jaye] what does it mean?! - Wonderfalls
Why are we here: I know that we are here to be happy. Weather you are religious "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." or not "Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government". Why do I have a website: I like to keep a journal and it was a good way to start out with my shallow thoughts. As I continue I want to grow deeper on the outside, an open book to the world. Also I enjoy creating websites. Who Do I like: Family (too many to name) Best friends Rocky, My brother Keith, my cousin Cynthia, Potential best friends, Marc. Famous people Lucy Lu, Joanne Cusak, and Johnny Depp. When do I Laugh: At a good joke, Comedy Central Shows, Youtube, with a Friend, all the time When do I Cry: Rarely, Great movies, when i feel like it. When will I be happy: I am happy in so many ways, but I have some goals based on health, friendship, relationships in general and school that I hope will improve what i find lacking in my life right now.

Back from vacation.

Well another vacation dead and gone. Now I need to focus on school. Deadlines, schedules, requirements, costs almost make the ability to enroll in school more impressive than the degree you receive. I missed the one day i had to register. Got home all tired and Mom wanted to go take Aaris to see Cars. After KFC and the movie I had totally forgot to register for my classes. Now I must wait until august to fight tooth and nail, most likely ending up trying to add the class. And that will do no good if I don't do some learnin' of my own before class starts. I barely got by in the first .NET programing class and this second one builds on what has already excaped my brain. Last semester i got an F because the first assignment wasn't due until a week after drops ended. And i held out hope until the day before. Anyway my trip to Long Beach was nice. Went with Rocky to Disneyland and to a Cuban Restaurant. I also turned my ticket into a year pass, going again in October. But I will be going with Sheri, but maybe I will be able to go out to dinner with Rocky anyway.. or all of us, who knows. When I got back and steped out into the 90 degree Sacramento breeze, I was tempted to turn around and catch another plane back (not really). Its still hot and I can't wait for it to end. I've been letting my forgetfullness throw my money down the drain. I waited too long to cancel the first hotel I booked and had to pay for it and the one I stayed in. I also let my Audible account start another month without getting a book in july.. 22 bucks down the drain, probably my cheepest mistake this month.

Dread Pirate DVD

Well both of my comic books came to day, along with two dvds. One being... get ready for it... Dum dum da dum.. The Princess Bride - Dread Pirate Edition!!! Well you probably guessed with the picture. I hope you have watched this movie. It is the best/cleverest/funniest movie I have seen as of yet. When googling about it, I found this game: It turns out not to be related, but it seems like a good game. But at 50 bucks at target and buy.com its quite too much for a board game. If you havent seen "The Princess Bride" yet then you need to pick it up the next time your at your local video store. Because this has been a small update here are some video links i found the last few days.

Whaaat? - Part 1

IMAGE_613.jpg
I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. - Rudyard Kipling
What makes me happy: Theme Parks, Swimming in the pool/river/ocean, Family, Friends My Friend, movies, a non-rerun of Stargate (my new startrek) What makes me sad: My great ability to sabotage myself in so many ways. What makes me tired: I don't know, but I have always been tired more often than I think is normal. What makes me awake: swimming, dancing (no, i don't know how but i shake my booty anyway.), good music, creating web or video stuff. Shopping (too much). Nature (when i get out in it).
* * *
How I can tell what today is: Check the date of when Rocky was last on My Space. How i know what time it is: Because i can't live without my new Doctor Who wallpaper on my phone, I must go into setup and 'Date/Time' settings. How I know what's going on in the world: digg.com, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, & The Soup.
* * *
Where I live: At home, with my mom, sister, brother, cousin, other cousin & uncle. And my other brother is home for the summer. Where I will live after graduation: I hope to take over the Howton/Holdaway homestead eventually as did my parents. However my life is in need of the adventure and experience of moving out, making new connections and a new environment to explore. Sacramento, Newport/Huntington/Long Beach area, San Diego area, are all possibilities. Where I play: Disneyland has always been my choice playground. Although now when I vacation I spend more time doing other things. Beach bumming is always a good distraction from the daily grind. Where I toil away: Sacramento State has become more of a stressful place of work than a enjoyable place to learn. I'm now motivated to finnish up in a year. This means summer school next year. Let us just see if I will still be willing to give up summer after two semesters. Work at PC Focus has also become a bit tedious as my love of building computers and working on the computer has become second to repair as the 'computer shop' industry is drying up and on-site repair is the apparent future. How to drum up business in a new field is the daunting task I don't know how to accomplish. Where I spend too much time: In bed with my laptop, tv remote or pillow.. I need to get a treadmill and chair and only use my bed to sleep. Anyone have a cheep used treadmill that can hold a 150 killos or so? (makes me sound fit at 150 :)

Next time... When Why Who

Doctor Who!!!

I saw the latest episode last night.. Can't wait 'till next week What? You haven't yet watched "Series 2"? Well how to explain... Think of the most awesome show you have ever seen. In comparison with Doctor Who, that show sucks.
* UPDATE: Saw the finale and have to say that the plot twist that blew me away in part one was nothing to part two. Lets just say you don't know if the doctor & rose will be together next season. Only 2006-12-25 00:00:00 GMT+00:00 until the Christmas Invasion

Super Mario Powers

Well, it seems that SI Kids leaked the release date of the wii. That means only 4 months to go :P. I was thinking as i read about it, what Mario powers would i like. There are many to choose from. There is....
FLIGHT
TRANSMOGRIFICATION
PYROKINESIS
(And so many more...)
Heck.. If I could do a back flip onto a high ledge that would be awesome. Here is to hoping that Super Mario Galaxies has all and more of the powers that make Mario Super. He started with just a high jump, now he is the most well known videogame figure world wide. P.S. the launch titles I am going to break the bank with may include some or all of the following: Dragon Quest Swords, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Rayman Raving Rabbits, Red Steel (and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles if it is out). P.P.S. Too much nintendo lately.. I will stop for a bit.. :P
