Feels like the Summer Olympics. I am back after a 4 year hiatus. The world has changed since I walked away from Xanga in 2008. Myspace has fallen from grace, Facebook and Twitter has risen beyond the social media plateau set by its predecessors, and cellphone operating systems (like for real yo, OS's) are named after candies and desserts. 

It is hard to say why I have returned. A wise man once said (to me these can be individuals I met on a drunken night at a bar over the history of peanuts) that sometimes you have to take a step back to take more steps forward.

With that said, I have been in a long term writer's block. It may not seem apparent, but I have in terms of music/art/expression. I feel as though I have lost that mojo.

Try as I might, I cannot seem to finish this one:

and I'm so sick of my memories
they are anything but a ghost of me
cannot forget them in my dreams
haunting me to the depths of insanity

reliving the moment as a deja vu
could not forget the days of old
like hearing a broken record
when reality's something i cannot hold

Alright kids, 'till next time. I promise I'll be back soon. ::cue exit song::

No longer will we sit and watch a civil right float away.
No longer will we sit and support issues with nothing to say.

It is time. Time, when we shall stand on this very day and make our nation cry out with us.

No longer will we sit.
No longer will we wallow.
No longer will we kneel idly by
and do nothing on issues we support & follow.

Do not rely on someone
Do not look for that somebody.
It is time. Time, to be THAT someone, THAT somebody, and take a stand.

Gay, straight, black, yellow, brown, or white... marriage is a civil right.

Saturday night was the grand party. I had 3 costumes:

• Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything)


• German Lederhosen (think Oktoberfest)


• Tom Cruise, Risky Business (boxers and a dress shirt)

I spent most of my drunken time in the Lederhosen. Everyone kept calling me Peter Pan and everytime I tried to correct them until I heard a light-toned voice call out, "Peter."

I turned around and to my astonishment, it happened to be Tinkerbell. Who am I to correct her in this situation? So of course I answered, "YES, I AM PETER PAN!"

She then sprinkled me with pixie dust and asked, "Where are you going to fly now?"

I knew this was my one chance to use a cheesy line so I replied, "We're going to Neverland, 2nd star to the right, up the stairs and into the attic to dance straight until morning."

She smiled and laughed.

So we danced. Her wings were glowing with green lights as she twirled around like a ballerina to Chris Brown's song "Forever."

The whole night we only referred to each other as Peter and Tink. Eventually I got her number and labeled it only as Tink on my cell, it was a 626 number. She then left with her friends and faded into the night.

Finding no use for my "Peter" costume, I quickly changed into something more comfortable; Risky Business. It was from here until I passed out that I somehow lost my phone. I was never able to find it. I suspect it was stolen and along with it, the only connection I had for Tink. No one knows who she was...

Maybe next year, if I am still single, I'll be at the same party as Peter, in Neverland... and wait for Tinkerbell again... for another grand adventure.

Hopefully she will not think I ran off with Wendy.

Wow a lot has happened...

• Tina Fey is the Republican VP candidate (VP-ilf!)


• Bengal's WR Chad Johnson changed his last name to Ocho Cinco (that's awesome).


• and Ted Mosby ________ to ________ (don't wanna spoil it)

Speaking of which, here is a classic HIMYM graph from Barney (if you don't watch the show, I will elaborate):

The reason I bring this up is because I was hanging out with someone who was in the Hot 7 range, yet dealt a Crazy 9.5 Basically, you want to stay away from anyone who resides below the red line. Make sure the ratio of hot > crazy.

Got bored... my attempt at a Chris Brown song "With You."

Nothing is worse than an addiction... an addiction on Sobe Essentials Orange flavor energy drink.

I use to be able to find this at my usual Chevron gas station mini-mart or at Walgreens. Yet my 2008 luck has struck me once again, both places cease to have any in stock.

If anybody has any info or hookups on where I can find my precious nectar in a can please leave a comment.

I will pay crack prices for a case.

[09:34] hkwong34: but that too was a great way to lose a few pounds before the show
[09:38] DarcZero: awesome to know our technique has grown to a distinct sophistication

So my car probably has the worse 4 cylinder mileage, ever.

Right now I get 22.6 MPG.

I remember I use to take roadtrips to San Diego (on a bi-weekly basis, 180 miles roundtrip) or drive to Vegas because I thought my friend was going to get married. Now it seems I gotta plan it out more.

I know there's enough rants about gas prices. But ya know, rising gas prices seem to have sucked the life outta spontaniety.

Its alright though. I'll keep my baby until 2015, then I'll trade it in for a flying car that is hopefully powered by hydrogen.

Please don't let me down Doc.

Its what makes us awesome.

Be awesome.

Pursue awesome.

Its all around us, let awesome in.

Awesome is a way of life.

Just bought the Jawbone 2. Thanks to DQ for the tip off on this awesome product.

This bluetooth headset will work wonders when I'm driving with the top down. It will help reduce the wind noise so the person on the other end can hear only my voice. I suppose it will work just as awesome at a rock show or a club. It does this by analyzing the vibration of your voice and removing all sounds that are not your voice.

In terms of bluetooth headsets, this is officially certified awesome.
