today is a good day.
no barking from the dog.
no smog.
...and momma cooked the breakfast with no hog.
at 13 he signed a deal with nike that got him $1 million dollars to wear free shoes and clothes.
now he just signed another deal that makes him the highest paid player in mls.
ridiculous.
so i don't think i mentioned beerfest. but i should have. it was fun. it was crazy. i don't remember bits and pieces of it. i was obnoxious and an ass. but it was the funnest $23 i've spent in a long time. that was saturday.
and now there's some kind of french something something this thursday. Beaujolais Nouveau. it seems fun enough. but it's a thursday. and it's $35. they're just raising the stakes to see how much i'm willing to pay to go to these kinds of things.
a friend: "hey, check out this girl on friendster."
me: "no."
friend: "go. she's superfly."
me: "fine. do i have to sign up?"
friend: "yeah. i'll send you the invite. it's so much fun!"
...and now my productivity at work is at an all time low.
that aside, i came to find out that nearly all of my friends at home and anyone i ever knew who considers themselves asian is on this. i feel like the last kid in 2nd grade to get a yo-yo. i'm so late catching onto the fad that it's no longer cool. look, this guy has 124 friends. i have 2. TWO! let me join something so i can be uncool in a totally new and different arena!
or add me as your friend. it'll give me more to do with my time.
so now i'm 25 and it's time to get stuff going. stuff is going to change and all you non-believers should get out of my way. or something like that.
first up is the home improvements to my new place. it's the bathroom i'll be working on now. here's the sink i'm going to put in:
sink
the plan is to put in the sink by tomorrow, move the bed in by sunday, and then begin moving in by the end of next week.
remember the good old days when you could have an underclassman do manual labor for you just by offering to get them some beer?
not that _I_ ever did that. it's illegal and stuff.
so it was my birthday on friday. it was fun. i think that last week of mine was just horrible, so going out on that friday just took too much out of me and my friends.
but now i'm 25 and i'm ready for anything! well...maybe.
we went camping out at mokuleia (north west side of the island. it was beautiful up there. we were right on the beach and the weather was perfect all weekend. the surf even picked up while we were out there. and after an hour of surfing or playing with the little 5 year olds or diving for fish or playing volleyball, all the parents had all the food ready. it was amazing.
and then there was grandma (not my grandma. someone else's 68 year old grandma). she told us jokes and threw back a few beers with us. and at the end of the weekend, grandma says to me, "oh, eric. i'm so sorry i'm so old. 'cause if i was young, you'd be my boyfriend."
can it get any better than that?
something fun to do.
probably works better with 11x17 paper.
and a color printer.
