Girls will be girls (sort of)

I went up to the city with Taylor today. At night we stopped by Asia Sf to pay Derek and his "girls" a visit. The place is nice, its a very quaint place. You can walk past it without ever guessing what really goes on inside that place. We show up at around 7 not knowing what to expect b/c we didn't have reservations on a Friday night, or how we would get in b/c the place checks for ID since it was restaurant/bar type of place. Derek managed to pull some strings and got us in. When we went in it was right in the middle of a show. Now the unique thing about Asia Sf is that its a restaurant/bar with showgirls. Except the girls aren't really girls... they're all transvestites!(how crazy) We got seated ordered a little bit of food and we got a few drinks on the house. The food was pretty tasty, we got an order of sashimi and pineapple cheesecake. We weren't too hungry b/c we ate prior to the visit. But i have to say, the food and drinks were exquisite and the showgirls were amazing. They were extremely entertaining and just so much fun. These "girls" just love what they do. Derek had one of the girls mess around with Taylor and I. She came up and wrapped her arms around us. Every time she would walk by us she would touch/poke at us while occasionally throwing a few winks into the mix. Time went by very fast and the fun was short lived. Unfortunately we had to call it a night at around 9 but we definitely plan to come back for round two in the near future and experience Asia Sf to its full potential. Hopefully the infamous Aliyah will be working next time. Overall we both loved Asia Sf. Only in Sf will you find a fine place like this...

A New Year

I successfully cleaned my entire room (something I have been putting off for years). Everything is so nice and organized for once. How exciting! I purchased 2 pairs of sweats and am comfortably enjoying a pair of them as I type. Learned how to snowboard in Tahoe. So much fun! School start tomorrow and I'm going to be pretty busy this quarter but hopefully it'll be a good kind of busy... And I updated my blog, something I haven't done in well over a month. The new year is off to a relatively good start.

2010 please be good to me!

November already?

I don't think I'm clear on what I'm looking for...

Attitudes

I guess lately something I've noticed around me is the attitudes of people and passing judgment. My friend was talking about high school rallies he was never one to really get into it because he was always afraid of looking like a douche bag. But he'd always look around and see that there's the one guy getting into it and he may look like an idiot at the moment but he comes out of the rally all riled up while he comes out thinking, boy that was lame. So maybe its not always worth caring about what people think. I mean why would it what kind of impression you make on people you either don't know or don't really care about? But also some people go overboard with that and really do end up acting like douche bags. They act out to stand out and be funny in sometimes crude/immature way that they're not acting like themselves. So I guess its just better to be real. Those who like you for who you are, awesome. And those who don't really like you for who you really are, then I guess that's too bad. There really is no point to cater to someone else so much to where you stop acting like yourself. But it seems like some people have a certain image they think they need to live up to at all times. Some feel they need to be the funny guy 24/7, some think they need to be the macho touch one, and others think they need to always be Mr. Cool. I mean some people are born funny people and others really are more laid back and suave. But that's all something they're born with.
I used to always care what other people thought about me. Now in retrospect I never really cared about what the people I like and hang out with thought about me too much because we were all so close and comfortable with each other. So i was actually more concerned with how strangers though about me which is pointless. But I think lately I've got better about not caring and also better at not prematurely judging people... or at least I like to think I do.

College?

I want to go to college, just don't know where yet. Thinking about possibly going out of state, Seattle? Who knows anything is possible, only time can tell. Until next time...

What the deuce

When it comes to the believers of existentialism, there are 2 types of people. There are those who accept it, and hold it to be a working reality. Then there are those who accpet it, but refuse to consider it a representation of reality. Who is wrong and who is right? Both sides have very strong arguements, but there is no conclusion. In the end it leads to a series of questions, is nothing in essence something? Is the absent taste of water within itself a taste?... well you get the picture. It all comes down to are you a man (used loosely) of faith, or science? Existentialism or... the oppositite of existentialism (can't think of the correct termonology off the top of my mind). There are some things which you just can not prove, because we don't have the capacity to measure or analyze some things. So if we are unable to measure/analyze something, we are unable to study it and deduce a conclusion. Then do we not rely on good faith to accept certain things? I guess it goes both ways.
Now you may have noticed the word "things" in the line above is in bold. The word "thing" is so impersonal, it generalizes, its vauge, its not convincing. So to give my sentence more substance, we can examine the function of curreny vis-à-vis money. Money only works if we believe in it. It has become something that is heavily computerized, there are countless accounts of money globally. Almost everyone has a bank account now, but there is not enough physical money to represent the inherent wealth of everyone. In fact if Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest men on earth, withdrew all of his money our economy would not support itself and collapse... true story. Still have the same idea of money?
I guess what I concluded in the time of typing all this is, despite our invididual perceptions we should be open minded. Everything is peachy keen in moderation. Don't be so quick to shoot something down at first encounter. With that being said I leave you with this...

There was an owl who lived in an oak.
The more he heard the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
We all should be like that wise old bird.




Wise owl indeed...

4th of July weekend

I went camping this 4th of July weekend with about 70 famlies or so... yeah it sounds pretty crazy doesn't it? But everyone who went were friends of my parents and their families so I don't really associate with any of the kids my age. I've gone to outings like this with them before, I just don't really have anything in common with them so I'd rather keep to myself. There is nothing to do at this campsite. No lake nothing. Just a lot of trees and dirt.
So, what does one bring to a "solo" 3 day 2 night outing? well i loaded my ipod with some new music. A lot of it was Tegan and Sara, I've known about them for some time now but I just never bothered to listen to their music, so I spent a lot of time listening to them these past 3 days. On top of that, I realized that I have never read the final Harry Potter book so I started. Its pretty good, I read a lot in my tent to a) kill time b) get out of the cold c) get away from annoying little kids d) just to read. Sweet deal. Over half way done, Hooked on Harry! Lastly I brought my skateboard to cruise around, it was fun riding around. The roads were surprisingly good. But I was limited to extremely remedial skating. I wish I was better.
I want to be like this guy. Check out his sexy tre bomb.



oh how i envy you.
