49% on expert

Well, i've done it, in 2 short weeks ive managed to spend all of the christmas money i had put aside on things for me.

A laptop and guitar hero 3. Both of which are not helping my productivity at all. oh well

it sucks typing this up on a laptop, i wonder how those people do it at school. I mean, they at least have to average 300 words per coment, why else would they be so studious during class...

49% on expert dragonforce only after 3 days.

I dont know why this is such a crap entry, just felt like trying this horrible laptop keyboard out.

The Hell If I Wasn’t Getting a Hotdog

So in commemoration of our wonderful school, we were given hotdogs and juice for, you know, “kicks”.

The whole morning I had waited for this event, when I walked on campus I saw a stainless steel grill just yelling out “use me, use me, but just don’t abuse me” and the opening flames were to be prepared right after my first class. As the discussion of parliament, taxes, and football grew to a close, my anticipation of a cheap hotdog could no longer stay inside and I messaged everyone I knew who could possibly take some action for the opportunity. As class was dismissed I rushed out of building C and darted towards… the end of an epic line.

Being at the end of a free-hotdog-line is a peculiar thing. Everyone there is out for a free lunch, what they don’t tell you, is that it’s not free at all. You try and make some sort of conversation with the person in front; all you get is a cold shoulder and a shot at your self-esteem. Then, you try and calm yourself down by telling yourself, “I’ll get my hotdog by my 11:30 class.” But when you realize the stupid bird you had been watching hop around is done with his business on the grass and you are no where within eye shot of the grill, you start to feel a bit, uneasy. As a strange tension starts developing around your stomach, you start to weigh out the consequences.

“The quizzes ARE only worth 1%.”

“Ok, I’m moving 3 people a minute, by the time I get my hotdog AND prepare it, it should give me about 15 seconds to sprint to class, and only be… 5min late”

“mmm…hotdog, but then again, what are you really getting; some terrible remains of what is essentially dog food made for human consumption? Then again, it is FREE.”

“To sprint I SHALL!”

As I settle in a spot within reach of the tables, the “band” starts to set up. Essentially it is two older fellows with a keyboard, sound equipment, their guitars, and the heart of the most rocking rockers EVAR! As I see them set up, I make stupid jokes in my head about how one of them looks mildly retarded. I even laugh out loud. “I mean, just look at his white sneakers, the black pants, and that colorful windbreaker. I mean, COMMON man, have some pride, and take…those…brown, pilot-shades………….off… You do suffer from a mental illness, don’t you?” The guy is literally ill; I am shocked at my own thoughts. When did I turn into a terrible person? To make amends, I put some change in their cup. (Hopefully it wasn’t their juice cup and to be fair, they did mean covers from Bread)

I move past the band, it is my time to shine, oh glorious days. The atmosphere was singing, it was my turn for a hotdog. Due to all of the anticipation of a FREE hotdog, the feelings of reward turned into a reminiscent nervousness familiar to those who have shoplifted. As I grabbed my dog, it was amazing for it to be FREE, FREE as in speech. Tears came to my eyes after the first bite; I was finally free to see the world. Then I ran, ran as fast as a cheetah on the hunt, spilled some juice and ran. I inhaled my hotdog; it was worth it, even after missing the quiz.

But, there was always the sweetness of the Rice Krispy I had in my pocket.

It's that time of day...

3 hours of down time until my favorite class, nutrition!!!

Why is it ftw?

35 Girls, 3 guys, someone has to come out a winner. Too bad one of the guys is WAY better looking than i am. But i'm not beating myself up, i have a flashdrive around my neck and nerdy jokes.

It's funny, when that better looking guy was absent, all of the ladies looked like they rather do eachother than talk to me. It almost seemed to me that they were trying not to make eye contact, it's a terrible feeling when you have low self-esteem. But after seeing the 2 girls make out wildly pulling their hair and spitting in eachothers mouths, it made me wonder why they refused to talk to me.

I'm sleepy.

Giving up

I'm giving up the whole # post thing. I've figured out that Tittles of stuff really add to the feeling of writing. Of course if you had been paying attention and not been a jackass, you would of noticed that most of my entrys have a tittle in the first line.

Either way i'm giving up.

Giving up, makes you think. I've given up on alot of stuff. Given up on EE as a carreer, given up on trying to explain to people wtf the difference in LCD and plasma are, and mostly given up on trying to avoid my hobby. I need this space on the internet, i need to express myself and have no one hear me, have to let loose and have some words make a convoluted message mean something to me, realize i dont have all the answers.

I need to give up on trying to hold on to past dreams that will not come true. They won't simply because i'm "not that guy".

I am in school once again.

School, it's going good. Life in general is going good. Except for my job hunt. I really wish I wasn't picky and took the job pushing carts. Fuck it.

I am thinking of making a new blog, focused on short conversations with people. I ask questions, they answer, I put up the transcript, and put something sweet about them.
I was thinking about first starting small, such as a teacher or someone with a profession, then going up to bigger fish like the mayor and representatives.

But, who would read it? Would you? I would, if someone is already doing this.

I was thinking about this project when I realized that much of our age group has little involvement in their society. What gives, age group? Too good enough for me society? FOR SHAME!

good stuff

RIAA lawsuit hits family with no computer or Internet access

"I don't understand this," James Walls told his local paper, the Rockmart Journal. "How can they sue us when we don't even have a computer?" ... It's not hard to believe however, as the RIAA has in the past filed a lawsuit against a dead woman.

Journey to the center of happiness

As i come closer and closer to my scheduled flight, things happening around me make me feel like running towards the golden terminal. It seems like the closer i get to going home, the more things happen that make me feel like not going. Stress, it seems like part of life. No shit aye?

First of all, I need to re-register for next semester, and the only days to do that are next week during my trip in El Paso. This is forcing me to beg some stupid bitch to let me register tomorrow, or when i come back. Because you know, I am not cutting my break short. Mainly because i want to get drunk. Then, my tax information came, my current schedule starts a week earlier than everyone else, my truck needs a tune up, i haven't gone to work at all this week, i need money, i need to deposit a check, and I am angry at someone....

But when i look back at it. I have to ask, Is this what being a grown up means? Constant stress, make or break type stuff?

I'm guessing it is. I love shit like that.

Keep it real.
(:

Fuck I Never Actually Learned Shit


Finals are this week. I already took my English paper, which was a joke, litteraly. Some of the answers were "Tell your mom" "Hit your friend" or "If you answer with this you will get it wrong". Fun stuff and shit but it makes me wonder how many people will answer the question with the wrong answer. But the fun is over for me, Tuesday is going to suck with the 2 most important tests of the season. First is C++ and if you keep up with my nonsense you know that i don't pay much attention, dislike it, and generally surf Digg instead of write code. Now it is officially coming to bite me in the ass. I'm lucky this test is going to be multiple choice. As for electronics, yeah, good luck with that shit, but thanks to some hard work and decent luck, i only have to get a 40% to pass with a 70. So I'm aiming for an 80 to pass with an 85. Goooooooooooooooooo, ME!

So if you were thinking, "Carlos, you're already in finals, does this mean that you can come to El Paso and make sweet sweet love to me?" Yes, in fact I'm going home for a week. Hopefully i can get to see some friends, do shit, and fuck around. Sounds fun, eh?

As for now, I'm going to study, but really I'm going to go pass ACE-COMBAT 4 and cram in the morning.

Who knew I was part of the web?

Once again I wasn't doing my homework and while drinking a ridiculously over sized Mountain Dew I decided to see what parts of my online identity were popular in 'teh googles'.

So, I search for kumaku and to my surprise i get get my Digg profile as #1. WOW. But me being the glory whore i wish i was, i naturally wanted more. So i kept digging for more occurrences where my nickname wasn't some guy from Japan. Around the 4th page I came across a blog from Wired. It turns out people DO read comments on Digg articles that have only have +1.
http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/01/swag_we_want_bs.html

This makes me happy. REALLY happy, this guy doesn't understand how cool this is to me. Even if I was a mere bridge for a bigger connection this really shows how small the internet can really become.

You see, the Wired blog is part of my Google homepage. I see that homepage at least 3 times a day. How that one post managed to escape me is really something of an odd thing, I like all the blogs from Wired and if i wasn't so much of a cheap ass, I would subscribe to that magazine.


I come to think about it. The whole, Technology news reporting intrigues me. Maybe some day i may have the writing ability to have a steady audience.

Good times.
(:

Mr Nieto

That's what the kids call me. It's actually cool because they give me that respect they give teachers and unfortunately talk shit behind my back, but i don't care. I'm Mr. Nieto.
"Mr. Nieto, can you help me with my uber hard trig stuff" SOITENLY, ña-ña-ña. It feels good to help those kids.

I say kids like they are 10 year olds. In reality i think some of them have done more coke than i have. It's funny being in a class full of dumn ass kids. Most days while making fun of the retard kid who thinks that old faded jeans, an old faded denim shirt, a "Thin Lizzie" shirt, and PERMED hair is the look to go with; I look back and say to myself, "I hope i wasn't that much of a tool when i was a freshman"
[A side note about that kid. Fuck he pisses me off. Ok, this kid is one of those dumn shit guys who thinks he is smart because he manages to get the meaning of fucking "The Matrix" (i know, i know it's an old analogy but still a classic benchmark). The reason he pisses me off is that he really thinks he is in the same league as the "Cute" girl in class. This dumn shit will go up to her, make "casual" conversation about, her hair being better today than yesterday while he flips his hair out of his face that somehow manages to highlight his overbite crooked excuse for a smile. Cut your hair hippy!]

So i was on myspace (SHOCK!) and i started thinking. How many of those kids i tutor have one of these god-forsaken-excuse-for-a-social-life-site-thing-dash? It turns out, all of them. I am scared to even mention it now. I know one of them will hunt me down and buddy me up then mention it in class, thus making a weird uncomfortable situation between all of us, until i hit up the hawt chick in class making me the king of the school!

or maybe i'm just full of it.

Yeah, i did the digg thing.

That is how much that god forsaken website has taken of me. It literally is part of my day. It takes up most of my surfing time and manages to suck me in even during the most inappropriate times.

Just today i was talking to some women. The whole time i was looking at a followup story about an accordion like couch. I started talking about the couch, then about digg, then about the hat i just ordered that has the Digg logo, then about how i might buy that couch with my money that doesn't go to digg. Then i managed to get them off the phone so i could surf around digg and digg stories and comment on them so people can see my wittiness. Then, 3 hours later i find myself about 1/4th of the way done with the homework i "started"(meaning, opening the word doc) right before i dugg the original story on DIGG!!!!


Then, after realizing how much time has gone by, i get on blogger to blog shit, that leads me to the comment section of the story i dugg earlyer about MGS the movie!!!

I need help.

or a better study habit...

MGS Movie confirmed.

"I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement," Kojima said in a statement. "False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood." Lets hope it doesn't suck like other game movies.

61st? Post

Ive been doing funking homework for the past couple of days. The thing is, it is really hard for me to concentrate after i take a 5 minute break. They usually end up turning into, 50min breaks and then i decide to go get a yogurt or make some tea. Later i completely forget about the tea and leave it sitting. I come back to the tea brewer and i have some cold tea. That is annoying. So by doing homework i am not doing homework and i am losing money on tea. That show ain't no good.

I went to jinx.com and bought myself a digg hat. It is pwntastic.

Oh yeah, i got adds. And please ONLY CLICK ON THEM IF YOU HAVE A GENUINE INTEREST IN THE ADD. If not ignore it. It is amazing how simple it is to get them on here. That is true integration by 'teh googles' nj guys.

I was wondering if i should get some ram or a new video card. Anny suggestions? I am going to start watching all the oscar flicks that i missed and playing CS:source.

Back to the "grind"

Clearly, i need to do some work.

One more week until i end my semester, but there is still much to do. I need to finish 2 labs, 2 pre-labs, 1 paper, 10 chapters, 10 tests, 1 C++ lab, Pre-Enrollment, Financial aid stuff, taxes, and i gotta look good for it, not to mention finals. I don't know why i procrastinate so much.

I really think it is because i know i can do it and piling it up seems more...convenient for me. I'm an idiot i guess.

Valentines day was yesterday. I didn't see any love I just got wasted and kicked some ass at video games, but don't worry my homework consoled me. (:

I've been losing most of my productive time on Digg these past couple of days. For some reason i need as many +1's that i can get. It's like crack!

I'm sorry my blog sucks, I have nothing much to say, but for some reason i feel compelled to write something. I think it is because I really do not want to go to lab, though i enjoy it once I'm there it is f'n hard for me to start.

Go read some good blogs.
Peace

Digging and such.

I recently started to digg a lot, thats probably the reason why i deceded to do some housekeeping on my blog. TWiT, dl.tv, and diggnation. It has taken over my game time and hard drive space but for some reason ive felt like i owe all of those ex tech tv people more than my clicks on adverts. good stuff coming out of them, they are paving the way for the internets, i'm just glad i am in the middle of this boom.

Nov 2005. thats the date i joined digg. Just now i am taking advantage of it. It really shows how much of a virtual life i have. f




I spoke with my cousin about his time in ft collins, he seems happy, im glad.


My nephew is almost a year old.

I need to call my sister. I miss her.

I dont know why i felt like writing today. G'day.
