I forgot...

In addition to my other weekend experiences, when i went to Chipotle I got some random straws.

What i mean is, the first straw i got was crimped at the end making it useless as a straw.

Then i went back and got another straw...
This straw was ALSO CRIMPED!

I mean come on, ive never got a straw like this b4, and then TWO in ONE nite!

BTW-How annoying is it when you KNOW you used to know someone and you don't know from where?!?
this happened to both Joe and I.

to the same girl, but we think from different places.
we asked rachel and found that her name is angi (like Anne- then the letter G)

really annoying, then she left before we could ask her.

This Generation

I think that this generation will change the world and heres what I mean
In my speech class @ PCHS there are 5 Christians, 1 Muslim, 1 Average American, and 2 Seniors who are not radicals but passionate about what they believe in.
I love how they don't just believe in something like stopping the war, they believe in the problems that face us today.
AIDS
POVERTY
STARVATION
and all those others.
They care.
And they're not even Christians
That means we have to step it up and show what we care for...
So do it!

Why I love iChat and AIM! + Myspace

It lets you connect. iChat lets youactually talk to people, and sometimes see them too

AIM let me talk to Brie TWICE this week. Once and her house, and once up at college.

Its SO nice to talk to my friends.
I <3 AIM...



Ok, which way do you see her turning? Clockwise? or CounterClockWise?

This silhouette wins the award for coolest thing we've seen all day. It is a little test that will tell you whether the left or right hemisphere of your brain is more dominant.

Instead of concentrating on her chest, concentrate on the woman's movement. If you see her spinning clockwise, that means you're using the right side, or more creative side of your brain. If she appears to be moving counter-clockwise, then that means the left side, or more logical side of your think muscle is superior.

Some of us see her going clockwise, others see her spinning counter-clockwise. Some can see it both ways!!

WOW...

What a week, and its not even Friday yet.

Amazing Comment Card

This is the most amazing comment card ever...

Wisdom

I was really boredd, so i decided to pull the following out of a bulletein on myspace and give it my approval that it is true
"
--Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

--Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.


--Try to be as straightforward as possible.

--If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

--If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

--When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.
"
Hope u enjoyed the first installment of "Myspace Wisdom"

Dear Rachel Styffe

Please get the sleep you need. You need to realize that you are only human, and that saving the world won't take longer if you get enough sleep. your amazing, but you need to relax sometimes. This is an intervention. Do not question, just say ok

Vor'e for Reading this post in a completely different language that most are not fluent in.(including me)
So maybe you want to translate it?

I've posted again on my writing blog.

this time ill tell u what it is...
thewritingsofjosh.blogspot.com
can't believe no one figured that out.
so go read if ur boredd

Karate yesterday

Where else do u get to paint cardboard boxes silver? Then go fight someone, then learn how to be a leader, then paint some more?
All the painting felt like ensenada again!


But on a sadder note here is something that happened on Monday.

I was behind the front desk, watching class and it was probly 6:50ish. And these kids came by. 3 guys and 3 girls. Now I know oneof the kids i know cuz he just getting back into karate. He's there with his gf. the other kids, ive just seen riding around the plaza. Now they're just being kids having fun, dancing to the music. And then one of the of the girls asks to shake my hand, so i was like ok. And then the others where like dont shake her hand, she has AIDS. Shes no i dont. so anyway i shook her hand, but thats not the point. The point is either these kids didnt know that shaking hands isnt a way to get AIDS, or AIDS isnt a serious problem to them. Either way thats sad. It was also sad for me to see that these kids are just probly freshmen, maybe sophmores or 8th graders, but theyre hanging out at the plaza when they should be home with their families. i understand if u have something to do, but not wanting to/not able to hang with ur family is sad to me.

I'm excited

I'm super excited for the rest of this weekend. but before you read on, please read this
I love martial arts. But I find the violence part difficult. I mean Im not against all violence, im just a not a violent person. there are very few things that actualy get my upset, let alone mad. Sparring is so different(for the most part) You are a different person in the ring. Once you get out, u can be the best of friends, but inside... Even in the ring, its hard for me to go all out against my friends and people i respect. One of my friends mentioned how a water polo player is totally different in the out than out. Its exactly like that
Ok, lets proceed


Thursday
I have karate. Usually i work, but since the "topic" is sparring ill probly participate in class. Mabe not white belt class since they dont have gear, but yellow hopefully, then i have my class then Something else then beginners.
I LOVE sparring it so much fun to go a few rounds with someone. Its tiring mentally cuz its like chess. U have to think what the other person is going to do.
Friday
i have the tesoro/el toro game
i still dont know whcih side to sit on(friends on both)
Saturday
I get to work my butt off at karate from 11-3 with some seminars
i onl have a 1/2 hour break... o ow i love karate
then helping at the edge and then...
630 HSM for the first time in weeks
sunday i have the edge, then a partayyyy


Later this week I'm going to post a very sad story that happened to me

Things To Do In An Elevator

This is from Kersti's myspace blog.


THINGS TO DO IN AN ELEVATOR
1) when there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the
shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
2)Push all the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. smile, and go
back for more.
3) Ask if you can push the button for other people , but push the wrong
ones.
4)call the psychic hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know
what
floor your on.
5)hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. after a while,
let the doors close , and say,"hi Greg. how's your day been?"
6)drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up,, then scream,
"that's mine!"
7)bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator .
8)move your desk into the elevator and when anyone gets on, ask if they
have a an appointment.
9) lay down a twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.
10) leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if
they
hear ticking.
11)pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures
and exits w/ the passengers.
12)ask, "did you feel that?"
13)stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
14)when the doors close , announce to the others, "it's ok, don't
panic,
they will open again!"
15)swat at flies that don't exist
16)tell people that you can see their aura.
17)call out,"group hug!" and then enforce it.
18) grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, shut
up, all of you, just shut up!"
19)crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ,
ask,"got enough air in there?"
20)stand silently and motionless n the corner, facing the wall, w/out
getting off.
21) stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror,
"your one of THEM!" and back away slowly.
22) wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to other passengers.
23) listen to the elevator walls w/ your stethoscope.
24) make an explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
25)stare, grinning at another passenger for a while , then announce ,"I
have new socks on".
26)draw a little square on the floor w/ chalk and announce to the other
passengers," this is MY personal space!"


This would be awesome if u ever did it!
