I voted the other day without even glancing at any of the platforms on which people were running. I solely voted for people who I thought looked honest or like good leaders. I think it's funny how I can so easily commit Andrew-atrocities, but I guess it's just De Anza. None of the candidates are actually going to reduce the budget cuts or make unit prices less expensive for the average student. Also I will not even be around next year and if I was, I would run for something. And finally, the faces of Nadine and Amine just annoyed me too much to vote them. Damn them and their "ines"!

"19th century French physiologist Pierre Flournes discovered a major problem with medical anesthesia. When it contained chloroform, he believed this actually allowed patients to feel the pain of the surgery, while still immobilizing them. Yet, it would also cause the memory to fail when they woke up, so they would not remember experiencing the pain." Ouch! Isn't that awfully creepy to imagine?

Sooo... I started work awhile ago at DACA Swim School.. teaching the little kiddies to do backstroke and butterfly and all that nonsense. I practically had to learn a whole new language for the job too. Peanut butter is streamline on the back and jelly is streamline on stomach. Pop-ups are breaths, digging hands are the swim stroke in doggy paddle (sort of). Fun stuff, eh? Also my good friend John Yi told me that there was a good, special surprise for me at work. After I finish my shift, I go to get my timecard and on the card it says, "Hey Andrewella". Now that was definitely something to look forward to I must say. Also, thanks to my buddy Kyle I have been using Ebay and buying stuff nonstop. Maybe I am a closet female/metrosexual... or maybe not even a closet metro... Gotta give the ladies what they want, money, your pride, your soul, but no.. what men think they want, an attractive exterior. On a pair of Diesel jeans I was looking at, the caption said "Makes ANYONE look good" and I was wondering if the elephant man was out there somewhere, looking at his empty wallet with a tear.... Poor elephant man...

Cal Day was awesome today. I walked all over campus and got a really good idea of what the next few years will be like. I officially registered at Berkeley and it is now set. No more neuroticism on my part. BEARS! For sheezee.

You know what. I finally get it. I am living my own life and not anyone else's. So, you know what. I might not go to Berkeley. I might go to Union or Tulane or somewhere where it may be a better fit for me. I cannot let the desires of any other people dictate what I will do with my own life because no one else is living my life. I am the one stuck with that job.

Starting next fall, I will be attending University of California - Berkeley. I am very proud of this and I worked extremely hard for it. I do not think a better situation could have come out of the college admissions process for me.

Something that always cracks me up is when people weigh themselves at the gym before they work out and after. It's not like the person is going to start out at 250 and drop to 150 after 40 minutes of work. I think that's the American attitude. Results have to be immediate and conspicuous for people to do anything. Self-discipline is a discipline long forgotten and it can be seen in national obesity, ignorance, apathy and self-victimization.

If there was ever a word that was blatantly misused more than any other, it would be truth. People refer to their own agendas, dogmas, and opinions as what is universally true, but it is not. I find it offensive when people speak of something that is not factual as absolute truth. For example, I find it irritating when people say that the "word of God" is truth. It's not. Even if one could prove that there is, in fact, a God, the "word of God" has been editted and censored by man for generations, not to mention by the early Catholics. One cannot call something fact that has such a gigantic margin of error. Using the word truth in its transfigured form does not tie itself solely to members of various Judeo-Christian faiths but other groups and individuals as well. Hate-based groups, cults, confused individuals and others all use the word truth to force their own self-righteousness on other people. Truth is a word that gives people the pseudo-righteousness to not coherently explain reasons but to basically say "Because it's true" as evidence. However, most beliefs such as this are opinions, which are not facts and should not be treated as facts. There is a clear and obvious line between fact and opinion, but this line has been butchered for ages, even though the concept is as basic as multiplication.
(FYI: This came to me while I was watching a movie where a Kung Fu guy takes down a White Supremacist group that believes they are sent by God to reinstate the Holocaust)

I love how spyware removers even use spyware to advertise. *Pop-up* Remove Spyware Immediately. You have spyware if *lists symptoms, etc* you have excessive pop-ups! Ugh.

surReal528: world wide baby
Sg x 777 X: what are the popular majors?
surReal528: well, there is cockology

surReal528: make sure in the business world, they respect the cock
surReal528: its very impacted tho
Sg x 777 X: hahaha
Sg x 777 X: what kind of students are applying to this impacted cock? and where are they finding resources to feel the impacted cock before they actually try it on for size?
surReal528: hahaha
surReal528: well this cock targets a wide range of demographics and socio economic status. we want people from all around the world , regardless of creed and race to be able to handle our cock. we do supply aid for those who need it. we just want our students to love the cock, thats all
Sg x 777 X: lol
Sg x 777 X: that last sentence was the best
surReal528: haha sealed tha deal huh
Sg x 777 X: where can I get aid so I can try to love the cock as much as all the other cock lovers in that highly restricted major?

Sg x 777 X: the cock should be available to everyone in the public
surReal528: yes

surReal528: redily at hand
surReal528: but once you do declair the cock
surReal528: you cannot withdraw
Sg x 777 X: but what about people who are not prepared to handle the cock and have to withdraw from it?
surReal528: well, we take that as a cock slap to the face
Sg x 777 X: I'd imagine that the administration does not take kindly do that kind of cockiness
surReal528: i guess you could say that its a school of hard cocks

Everyone should have the right to be happy, and for the president to try to pass a constitutional amendmentment restricting that right is disgusting.

What is the point of having an online journal? You can't write down what you really want to because then people will see your innermost thoughts, judge you, etc. What ever happened to people going to extreme measures to hide their journals? Now we're supposed to spill our guts to the 40+ people on our friends lists. I don't get it nor would I advocate it. If we are going to have something cool where we can post opinions and stuff, some of us should make a blog or something. But this livejournal stuff doesn't seem to work for me.

I have been digging really heavy music recently. Not sure why. I think part of it is the rhythm, mathematical aspects of it. Who knows. Maybe it is because I am getting bored of mellow music.

I got my parking permit stolen at De Anza but nothing else. There was a whole case of CDs near it and only my parking permit got stolen. This is fucked up yet almost understandable. Someone who would steal a $25 dollar parking permit but not over $200 in CDs should be at De Anza.
