kaleidoscope eyes

i haven't been keeping up much with the floods in the philippines. actually, i think i've been trying to avoid reading about them.

i mean it's like the only time i ever take notice of the philippines is when something bad is happening there, and i guess it just hurts to realize that. i couldn't even tell you where ondoy is. that sucks.

bye @berkeley.edu

i never really got to say bye to my calmail account. first i get an email saying that i have until one date to say goodbye, then i get another email saying that i get a little longer. maybe that's wrong, maybe i shoulda actually read those emails.

it's like when a bf and a gf agree that they're gonna break up right when college starts, but then they find out the first day of school is actually a week later. it's so awkward.

anyways, next thing you know, i have to choose between email powered by millions of squirrels and roundcube, and my password is not compatible with either of them. so there you go, that's how it ends. goodbye cool ending on my email.

i did have an awkward address though.. joshmen@berkeley.edu? joshmen? i remember being annoyed that jmendoza, jtmendoza and other better looking addresses were already taken. I am the greatest jmendoza alive! i should be given that address wherever i lay my email privileges.

but having an email with @berkeley.edu at the end. that's like having a pimp cup in your back pocket, ready to take it out if fools need to recognize my game.

but it is no more. so let's all pour a drink for our fallen homie, post-grad-but-not-in-graduate-school calmail account.

free like a bird

so when i finally got to driving my very own car, i had this new sense of freedom. i felt like a bird that finally learned how to fly. bye suckers! i can go anywhere i want. with my car and a full tank of gas, i felt like i was KING OF THE WORRRLLLLLLLLLLDDDDD!


then i'm unpleasantly forced to come to the realization that my car is pretty old, and that from time to time, it'll just break down. in the middle of the freeway. that means, until i can afford, at any given time, to have my car repaired in the middle of the nowhere, that i prolly shouldn't take it too far from home. whatever. I'M KING OF THE BAY AREAAAAAAA!


now i know, it's more like, I'M KING OF ANYWHERE IN THE BAY AREA WITH FREE PARKING!

breakfast revelation

if instant oatmeal is your quick breakfast of choice, boy do i have a surprise for you!

this method works especially well with the unflavored original oats, which i used to not use anyway.

before you boil up your water to pour over the oats, drop 10-15 raisins (golden raisins if you have them) and a teaspoon of sugar, brown or white, in with the water. let it boil and pour over the oats as you regularly do.

et voila, you now have more fiber and iron in your oatmeal, while still increasing the deliciousness of your breakfast.

patent pending.

eyawn's coming back so we can all start acting normally again

so i've unintentionally become emotionally invested in this michael vick saga, and i guess i just wanted to say my piece. you readers are so lucky.

people need to get off of him. the eff is he supposed to do? he did his time. the eff is the prison system supposed to mean if we don't allow at least a second chance? people just like to feel self righteous i guess.

--------------------------------------------

i now have a theory that every sports team has stupid ass fans; that it is a requirement that every team has fans that have no idea how to play the game correctly AND are just completely forget about simple social rules when at a ballpark.

i came to this theory at a giants/dodgers game:

while the dodgers were changing pitchers, from one asian picture, hiroki kuroda, to another asian pitcher, hong-chich kuo, stupid bitch giants fan behind me says,

"the fuck is his name? same thing anyway."

my fucking goodness people. i guess should know already this since san francisco is kinna misunderstood as a diverse city and welcoming city.

--------------------------------------------

i do realize that in posting this post. i am actually indulging in a bit of self-righteousness. paint me ironic hypocrite.
