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.
BYE
Of course McDonald's corporate is denying it, but the franchisees are saying that the recent overhauls to McDonald's kitchens are a prelude to one thing: All-day breakfast.

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.

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...
"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.

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"
BYE?!
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.
