Well, I'll bite my toungue for jumping on the racism thing. Apparently, journalism has rules it must follow. The photographer saw the black man loot a store, but they did not see the two caucasian people loot, so they must put down "found." Rules are rules, I guess.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions. Laguna Beach does in fact SUCK SHIT. I actually find it crazy how I hate all other reality game shows, but when it comes to the Real World and pretty much anything on MTV (except Sweet 16...I hate all those bitches.) I can't help but not stop and watch it. So to my defense...
Andy suggested everyone go see Spice World. And they did.
Jonathan likes funk. Who likes that shit?
Reviews so far for EWF/Chicago...people are saying it is one of the best concerts they have ever seen. Apparently they play together at the beginning and the end and then in the middle do their own sets. That is fucking awesome. The mere fact that I'm going to this concert should erase any judgements on my leisurely preferences. Hehe.
Werd.

Katrina: Donations
Just to offer a counter point to what Jon's saying about company's only helping themselves out... I just got an e-mail from CEC saying that they'll do a dollar for dollar match for up to twenty dollars out of your paycheck. I figure what the hell. If my twenty dollars can turn into forty, why not... Even though CEC workers are indeed the lowest of them all :)
That's not to say I wouldn't donate to those other people who are out there, but I'm still at the lower end of the pay spectrum. When I become CEO of Golfland or something, I'll donate another 20 bucks to the red cross or the like.
And in closing, I'd like to give you all a web site that proves racism is still in effect.

It should be noted that The Onion's articles are intended to be humorous, not true. Dave doesn't think we're lame for the reasons stated in the article. Other reasons.

Nature can be one mean mother. At times like this when the media decides to really show how bad things are for certain people, my pity and sympathy show up out of nowhere. I think I'll donate to Red Cross.
I often say rich people who live extravagant lives in unnecessary palaces and buy their kids BMWs for their supersweet 16s are selfish. Their money could help less fortunate people who really need help, but instead it's going to decadent excess. And every time I say this I consider how I fit into that picture. My job affords me a few nice things, but generally my purchases have some practical purpose. Anyway, this is one of those chances for me to put my money where my mouth is and those selfish bastards' money isn't.
LM has a help-our-employees fund, but that seems somewhat unfair. Everyone help your own company? "Oh you work at McDonald's? I have great news: donations are pouring in from across the country to help you out. Here's your Kanye West CD and a $5 giftcard to Jamba Juice. Feel better."
Laguna Beach
So TV is so powerful now that you don't even need to offer humor, talent, or knowledge to amass an audience. People will WATCH SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE instead of living their own, just because it's being broadcast, albeit with prettier faces.
What can I say… to each her own.
On the other hand, maybe it's a subtly deep commentary, reminding us that REAL LIFE, UNSCRIPTED, is full of the humor and drama that we seek through artificial means, and that we need simply to get up out of our loungers, step outside and live. Maybe that's the point; it's just that nobody's getting it.
the home
Growing old… sad, perhaps, but better than the alternative. And by alternative I mean creeping everyone out like Cher.
I'm not familiar with retirement homes, other than what I've seen in TV and movies. Are they really that bad? What's the better way to grow old, to be in your own house with your spouse? Or by yourself--I'm not sure which is worse at that point.
Maybe the old people care home is less like being sentenced to prison and more like a glorious return to the dorm life. You meet a lot of people your age, stay up late drinking and ordering pizza and cheesesticks, wrestle in the hallways, drop fruit from the top floor, experiment sexually, all that goodness. Then again, maybe not.
I expect when I get old something like Batteries Not Included will keep me entertained. So the best is yet to come...

Pardon this random post. Thoughts just shooting off.
Fuck Kanye. It's all about this new DJ krush and toshinori kondo. Sick ass beats mixed with some chill melodies brought to you by kondo's chill trumpet. You'd have to hear it to see what I mean.
I'm tired so I'm going to make some quick points then go to bed. I would elaborate on most of these seeing how I love to talk about myself, but I thought I would be wasting your time in doing so. It's been a long time since I've blogged so here goes nothing...
After some crazy beats at 3-6 at Garden, I think I've realized that 3-6 or even 4-8 is now considered pleasure poker. I always wanted callers against me, but now with so much raising and so much chasing, it is hard for me to think that I can turn a decent profit at these games. Of course that means my game is lacking. Nonetheless I have sat down at 5-10 online. The very thought that I can lose 120.00 in one hand actually makes me a little happy. It's been a while since I've felt a little hurt losing money. I think this gives me more motivation to never feel this way again. The first session I lost 130.00 in half an hour. Today I won 82.00 in 20 minutes. Fuck the money. After today I feel more confident. Of course confidence doesn't lead to wins...but it sure doesn't hurt.
Went into a home for old people when I went to go see my mom's uncle and aunt. I hate that place. My cousin Cris turned to me and said, "I hope I don't ever grow old like this..." When Stitch is 25 and in the prime of his life I'll be 50. Granted I make it that long.
My sister got into an accident on the way home from Fresno. Now sure I'm mean to her and sure she hates my guts, but hopefully she knows that I show my feelings in fucked up ways sometimes...this time I told her again that if she needs some help financially she can always feel free to come to me. I hope she takes that as she can come to me for anything...even though I'm an ass.
Disneyland sounds fucking awesome. EWF and Chicago sounds fucking awesome. Baseball on Labor day sounds fucking awesome. Weezer and Foo Fighters sounds fucking awesome. Kanye sounds like a bitch.
I bought Vol. 1 and 2 of Harrington's book. He brings up some very cool points...Jonathan just beat Tony at our most recent tournament. I have the most wins, but Jonathan is one behind. Soon he'll take his rightful place at the top even though he doesn't care about his standings. Hopefully Harrington's book will give me an added edge.
Steve's friend's brother passed away. It made me think what I would do if I found out I only have weeks to live. I honestly think I would use all my psychological calmness I use at cards and accept my fate. I would spend the rest of my days making sure that those around me understand that I am okay with what is going on...I would thank them for everything they have done for me and I would let them know that I was proud to be their family/friend. Werd.
So far three of my fish died. No big deal to some of you but nonetheless they are pets and I did get used to seeing them. Namu Amida Butsu in the hizouse.
I've been fishing three times now. So far I have slid down 3 hills and brushed up against poison oak. I haven't caught shit. I've had one bite and somehow hooked a fucking minnow...and that shit got away. It's very depressing really, but I'm really drawn to it.
Tony has to watch classic films for his class. Now perhaps he'll join me and Derek in the pleasure of watching shit that is outdated...when the times were more innocent and where all the cliches of film began.
I started writing my Samurai treatment. It really focuses on a brother/sister relationship. Ricki will be proud to hear that I'm sure. I wish I could tell you more, but I'm a shitty writer and no one will ever see it. Except for Jonathan because out of boredom I told him about it already. Hah.
Laguna Beach. Sure you can say that I've jumped on the bandwagon, but I can assure you this isn't true. I can tell you everything that happened last season. I'll just never admit it and even laughed at Kevin for watching it. Quick rundown of what I think of the cast...
Kristin Cavalleri- Okay so she talks funny. Like Ricki says..."Steeeeee-phan" Would I pick her over LC? I doubt it, but in the last episode I did like how she seemed to be there for Jessica. It showed her in a different light. That and her..."Come here Talan! Goochie coochie gooo goo". You'd have to see the episode to know what I'm spitt'n about.
Lauren Conrad - This one is too cute for her own good. She can't get past Stephen and I like the fact that she can't get passed him. Makes the show good.
Jessica Smith - I like her. Something about her (besides being jailbait) makes me tingly inside. Haha! She's an idiot and I like that. I guess she is cute because she is ignorant actually.
Jason - Anyone that can say, "because you're fucking annoying", "I'm tired of your shit" "You're fucking annoying" over and over again and still be in the relationship has something going for him. I'm gonna grow out my beard to see if that's what it is. Haha!
The rest of the bitches can be killed off for all I care. But it makes more some good television...well...at least entertaining for my simple mind.
Steve introduced all of us to Mel. After she left I realize I don't even fucking try anymore to make a good first impression. I was racist and said some insensitive things. So that means she either respects the fact that I'm being myself or she thinks I'm an asshole and all the company Steve keeps up here are assholes. Either way she was cool and her taking Tony's money made my night. (Yeah I know you caught your 7 outer you fag...you still have to get lucky to beat me...heh)
Saw a Giants game and got to hang out with Bryant, Shan and Julie. So far the Giants are 1.000 win percentage when I am in the stands. They should pay me to be at all the games so they can have the perfect season (at home anyway). Awesome time.
Ate at Dicicco's with Jonathan. We are so fucking bland that when we got up to go to the salad bar, they fucking cleared our table of our bread, dipping sauce and all our plates and utensils. Are we so fucking boring that we don't even stand out in civilization anymore? Had a very cool conversation with Jonathan. Its nice to know that even though he is in a stable job he is always looking to better his life. Not necessarily financially, but creatively. That's admirable and I wish I had that drive. Shall we go to Nihon? Fuck it. I'd just cramp your style.
I'm going on one hour of sleep. Time to go to work at the Jew shop then come home and try my hand at 5-10 again. I need to pay my parents back some money and I owe Jonathan about 400.00 for the EWF tickets.
