.........: the faster i get out of dallas today, the better i will feel. i hope. i couldn't fall asleep for an hour last night b/c i was so angry/frustrated. you know it's a bad when your pastor goes, "they're kicking our ass." twice.

so today...for me, no:

*mike & mike in the morning (radio)
*dan patrick (radio)
*espn.com
*espn.com/nba
*dallasmavericks.com
*cnnsi.com
*big show w/chuck cooperstein & newy scruggs (radio)

that's a BUNCH of pages that could take up alot of my time today, but i can't. good thing i'm leaving work early (11:30) and leaving dallas (before 1). i need to sleep it off. argh! >(

and to steve: if you want your $5, you better tell me who warned me under your sn and proceeded to say, "shut up ho". i don't appreciate that #$%! and it pissed me off.

despite all of the above, i am looking forward to this weekend of going to the prisons. i'm taking my trusty sony mini-dv camcorder to document the journey. i'm glad that julie will finally get to experience this and hopefully, she'll like it. and if we don't come back alive, please send money to my parents. just kidding. (kinda)

britney spears & fred durst? the newest rumor to surface. weirdness. justin & christina going on tour together? what da heck? and NICK HAS A NEW GF??????? taken from US weekly: "Shonnette, 23, an aspiring singer-songwriter. ...once briefly dated brian & is a cousin of leighanne..." ann, this is MESSED UP!!

so cheer you up ann, i am going to summarize an interview dan patrick (espn radio host) had with chris simms yesterday:

*he hasn't graduated yet. he's 4 classes short.
*he kinda had trouble saying "successful", but he made fun of himself.
*weakness in his game: footwork & speed
*will be disappointed if picked in the 2nd round
*wants to play for parcells (cowboys)
*big fan of aikman

i listened over the internet and wrote stuff down for you! :) i also noticed that you guys in austin don't have espn down there. what a shame!

wow, i have less two hours left. yay! i'm kinda tired so i'm going to my eyes from the computer. (^.^)v

tube-ular!: man, i cried sooooooo much watching that korean drama, "the little mermaid". they are showing it in taiwan now so i expect alot of people in asia to find out about this drama.

it was an incredibly sad, but kinda dragged on a bit. i stopped myself from crying too much b/c i knew it would make my eyes puffy, but my mom could not control herself. if you don't want to know what happened don't read this next part. i'm warning you!! :) the main character gets in a big fight with her mom, who is blind, and they start saying things that they didn't mean. then later on, her mom goes to a nearby shopping area to learn to knit. she goes to the bathroom and while in there, a fire breaks out and everybody evacuates the building. the mom is desperately trying to get out of the building, but unfortunately, she isn't able to. her daughter comes to scene and starts going crazy and crying her eyes out (understandable, of course). when they get to the hospital, it's already too late. that main character starts going crazy again (she's a single woman) and screams all the way down the hallway saying, "i'm sorry mom! i didn't mean those things i said! i love you! i can't live without you! how could you leave me alone? come back to me! i'd give anything to feel your warm hand again! MOMMMMMMM~!!!" dang. it was SO FREAKIN' SAD. i've never seen an actress' eyes so swollen before. it's like somebody gave her 2 black eyes (w/o the black, of course). i couldn't even imagine how draining that role must be. if you ever had the opportunity to watch this drama, please do. you will not regret it. btw, that was episode #118 out of #150.

another tragedy for the cowboys: dwayne goodrich kills 2 people in a hit-and-run. i read about the story yesterday but they had not found the driver until yesterday when that cowboys player (defensive end) turned himself in. an accident had occurred earlier and 2 good samaritans were pulling one of the drivers out of the car to safety. then comes this BUTTBRAIN @ 100 mph and hits the good samaritans and drags one of them like 100 feet. that's freakin' messed up. atleast he turned himself in. he's only 24 yrs old and he getting charged with atleast 2 counts of manslaughter. hanna thinks he should be charged for being stupid. i second that.

today at work, we had an hour of no power. it was great! provided some excitement in my mundane daily life. i wanted to sleep, but of course, was unable to. then we finally got the power back on and now our email server is out. so no company email. haha. GOOD. and now i think the air conditioner is on. my hands are frozen!! i wonder what they're going to have me to today since i mostly do email stuff. hmmm...

tonight's the big game. mavs vs. kings. it's going to be a fight to the finish (i hope!). mavs have so much more pressure on them b/c they are trying to prove why they're the best even though nobody believes it. go mavs!!

aite. my hands are getting colder by the second. almost time for lunch! (^.^)v

see you on the radio!: guess what? i was just on a NATIONAL radio show. don't believe me? read on...

the dan patrick show on espn radio was talking about the shaq/yao controversy. personally i'm kinda beat down by the whole thing b/c i know that non-asian people will never get it through their heads on how hurtful those comments were. no, i don't think shaq's a racist, but i feel like, if he can say those things, why couldn't we say nigger to him? anyways, dan patrick and his other 2 hosts were wondering what the nba commissioner david stern had to say on this, but they were unable locate anything. i found this on nba's website:

As for others' response, here's what NBA Commissioner David Stern had to say: "My reaction was, that sports once again has the opportunity to teach us about how perceived jokes or remarks that we might consider in a normal course are hurtful, harmful and irresponsible. And I think Shaq responded appropriately, and Yao did too. It also shows the power of the Internet because the remarks were from several months ago and they got a second life, as they should have, because it gives us the opportunity to use sports to deal with sensitivity."

and then he promptly reads it on the air! :D ok i wasn't on there myself, but that was me people, ok? b/c they have people working there looking up facts on the internet, yet i found it. i was sad that i didn't get my other email on there though. =\ that was more of a personal commentary on the subject.

ok, that was my exciting thing for the day. i called hanna to listen so i had a witness just in case dan patrick said my name on the radio. oh well.

today i heard about this guy who randomly picked up a newspaper and happened to see an ad for a family that needed a kidney for their 4 year-old daughter. he applied on a whim and like out of a 1 and million chance, he's a perfect match. "more perfect" than her father. so he just donates it. isn't that incredibly nice? i know that i would donate my kidney to one of my friends in a heartbeat, but it's much harder to do it for someone you don't know. i don't know if most people would even donate their organs even to their closest friends, but i would. i'm not trying to get admiration for that, but i am willing to do alot for my friends. =)

on that sappy note, i'm going to go to the bathroom. (^.^)v

la la la: i feel like i have nothing to write about. let's see how much i write about nothing.

i finally watched "joe millionaire" last night. it's a really good idea, but it's incredibly boring. i was off the bandwagon after about 10 minutes of listening to evan, the "millionaire", talk. he really is dumb. and that one asian girl she had the BIGGEST lips i've EVER SEEN!! omg, her lips HAD LIPS. i wonder if she got collagen put in dem big ole thangs. anyways, we flipped back and forth btwn that and the american music awards. that was hecka boring too. we watched mariah carey sing only to find out that she wasn't so i was disappointed yet again. everything would have been better if eminem was there, but he wasn't so the whole show sucked. =P

i'm in a bind right now. i'll find out in about 2 weeks whether or not things will change. =\

ok. i've run out of things to say. and things to do. i'm so bored.

winter itch: last night, i spent about 10 minutes scratching my arms. they itched like crazy!! i put on some lotion and it didn't really help. man, totally sux. =P

weekend was spent doing alot of mundane stuff. went to Bible study friday where my sister & jimmy blew us all away with their presentations. my sister sang her presentation in the form of 3 songs including 2 korean pop song and britney's "hit me baby, one more time". then jimmy's gave his "mission: impossible" themed powerpoint presentation. i have no creative bone in my body. man. then saturday me & julie had to run tiresome errands (sam's & auto shop), but stopping by best buy in btwn. i got "next friday" and "signs" on dvd. both were on sale so i was happy. (more about "signs" later.) then saturday night after a botched attempt to eat dinner with sara, me & julie went to dinner @ cpk (chicken dumplings, yum!) instead with the wons. sunday was spent at Church, of course, followed by julie's bday dinner @ chien garrden. then came home to watch "signs".

yesterday was my 3rd time to watch "signs" and i still jump. i *think* i watched the pantry scene this time. >.< and i hated the banging on the doors when they were about to come in. double >.< but my mom thought it was scary which was good ("i think my liver is going to drop out"), but the ending sucked. yeah it did. i still cry @ the part when the family is having dinner. T.T

i was disappointed by 2 close friends this week. namely, sara & sean. sara was supposed to meet me for lunch on saturday, but of course, couldn't wake up in time. i should have known after the, like 3rd or 4th time this has happened. i don't know why i set myself up for that. i just try to give people another chance and it just smacks me back in the face. later on, sara calls again (apologizes profusely, of course) and we set up a dinner time. i thought i was pretty clear in that i didn't want to have a bunch of people coming along, but she calls around 6 to let me know that 4 other people will be joining us. i was being a b, but i just didn't feel like hanging around a bunch of people i don't know well plus i was too disappointed in sara to see her that day anyway. and sean? well, he said he was going to call when he got back (he has a Christmas present for me? i dunno, sounds made up) from austin. never did. even though i love these two like my sister & brother, it still bothers me. and i know that they don't read this either. i know that they are both busy people and i should be more understanding, but it's times like these when i start looking at them in a different way.

on a happier note, i won my ebay auction to get these 2 mavericks scotch glasses. i was sad to lose the beer glasses though. and NO, they won't be used for scotch! they'll be used to drink milk. ;) hehe. this is pretty cool, but a little expensive. atleast i have the mavericks to keep me from getting bored.

i feel like going to a nohraebang. there's a bunch of songs i need to sing. haha.

oh yeah. this weekend i'm going down to san antonio. to go to jail. haha. nah, me, julie, sam, and jimmy will be visiting the prisons down there for a "weekend of champions". it's julie's 1st one and my 3rd one. wow, i'm proud of myself. :D coolest thing: it will be sam AND jimmy's 5th (!!) one and they'll be receiving prison bars as an award. i totally want that!! they're from a real prison made into a cross. will take pic of that and post it up. so i'm excited about that. hopefully i'll be able to catch the lakers/houston game and eat some good (not riverwalk) tex-mex food down there! :)

btw, last friday i ate whataburger & not mcd's. like anybody cares! (^.^)v
