ABSOLUTELY REPULSIVE

OH -- MY -- GOD... I don't think I've ever in my entire life been as repulsed as I was just a few minutes ago while watching Fear Factor. They have REALLY pushed the limit tonight...the second stunt the 2 guys and 2 girls that were left had to do was eat 2 BUFFALO TESTICLES!@%#! My good lord... I cannot believe a television network has resorted to such lowly deeds to get ratings -- hell I bought into it!

They boiled the testicles, which were each the size of an average potato.. and the contestants were supposed to peel off the outer skin and eat the "meaty core"... *HURL* The first person to do it was a guy... and he finished eating both testicles in 2 minutes and 50 seconds. It was so nasty... the outside skin was a little thick and veiny and the inside looked like ground up bologna and brains... next was a girl... she was about to back out.. but she managed to peel it and touch it with her tongue (not to mention one of the guys let out a ferocious burp as she tried to take her first bite).. but gave up and withdrew from the game. I don't blame her. The next girl took a bite and gave up as well.. both girls were beyond disgusted. The last guy ate it and stayed in the game.

I just can't believe how much TV is really pushing the limits these days... ever since Survivor, it seems like game shows and reality shows are more likely to include some stint involving the devouring of non-appetizing creatures and parts of creatures -- bugs, balls, eyes... who knows.. maybe someday people will have to eat animal poop to win a measly $50,000.

I can understand some people wanting to be a contestant on the show just for the challenge, but sometimes the things you have to do to not get eliminated are NOT WORTH a chance at a crappy cash prize.

Today I got an email with absolutely no subject or sender and no message... just a simple file called "PGDNGOPG.EXE" about 31k in size... Being the NON-idiot that I am... I obviously didn't open it... I ran the Anti-Virus checker on it.. and sure it enough it had the Hybrid virus in it... what idiots. I hope no one else is stupid enough to just open any old attachment from NOBODY... chances are it's a virus! So be careful out there!

Here's a cute little game to spend a few minutes on... basically it's a web-based game where you have to run your own lemonade stand.. and try to see how successful you can become out of it.

- I SWEAR TO GOD me and my sister Michelle saw this man in the Excalibur hotel in Vegas back in '94.. I kid you not.. he is as strange looking in person as he is in pictures.
Michelle... email me if you remember that.. you HAVE to!

Yummy Yummy!

For those of you that don't mind some sweets every now and then... I totally have to recommend Dreyer's Dreamery Ice Cream in the flavor Black Raspberry Avalanche. I used to not like raspberries in anything -- especially ice cream, but this has totally changed my mind. It's vanilla with black raspberry ice cream and it has some chocolate pieces in it.. it's not too sweet though it has 24 grams of sugar (ouch)... the taste is divine. Creamy, rich, and I love the little chocolate bits.. yum yum.. try it out if you haven't already!

Vivid Dreams

My dreams have been so freaking weird for the past 2 nights. I haven't changed anything in my diet and I'm not taking any new medications... Two nights ago I got *extremely* tired and fell asleep hard. Suddenly I had this really strange vivid dream that disturbed me so much I woke up. I wish I could remember it... I fell asleep again... and then once again I had another insane dream that woke me up.. this happened another 4 or 5 times.. and when I looked at the clock, I realized only 30 minutes has passed by since I originally went to bed. All of this happened in 30 minutes? How? I don't normally fall asleep so fast let alone start dreaming. So finally I fell asleep and stayed asleep for at least 4 hours... during that time I had very very vivid dreams, colorful, and realistic and when I woke up I almost felt drugged and still groggy. I didn't even take a Benadryl that night.

Then, last night I again had more realistic dreams that kept waking me up. It's almost as though my body is trying to subconsciously tell me something. Maybe I'm not laying down properly, or cutting off some kind of blood circulation somewhere.. who knows. The only thing I can think of is that my left eye was hurting the other day.. so bad that I had to take out my contact. It doesn't look red, it doesn't look infected, injured, or any different than my other eye... it just hurts for some reason and feels a little raw. Maybe *that's* why I'm having weird dreams.

The only other time I've ever had strangely vivid dreams was when I tried taking Kava Kava... I swear everytime I took one my dreams would be very rich in color and complexity... hmm... if only it were easier to figure out this time.

What a Sales Tactic...

Grrr.. today I decided to check out @Home's website for employment info only to run into a Flash entry page that took about 30-40 seconds to load noticed how they cleverly implanted the phrase under the word "Loading":

"If you were using @Home broadband, this webpage would have already loaded."



Bah! They didn't even have the courtesy to provide a skip intro link or an HTML version for us stone-age modem users such as myself. Oh well, I get the point that broadband is the way to go, but I still despise unnecessary Flash intros or layouts no matter how fast they load...with a few exceptions. :P

I just thought @Home was pushing it a little by leaving no other option to dial-up visitors... it was just a tiny annoyance, that's all. It felt like someone forcing you onto a racetrack with a bunch of fast moving Formula-1 racecars while you're stuck in a slowass Ford Aspire with no way out, not even an emergency lane.

I could not have said it better than Joolie...

not my words... Joolie's words

"but yeah, you know what i hate? (no offense to filipinos..) i hate "typical asians". the "wiggity wassupers, you called it up to the fantastik-pinay up on this biatch. drop me a mutha-fuckin message, and i'll git chu back on the nine double one quickity quickness, aite? aite then peace in da middle east.." girls.. oh lardy... you people are sorry.. and those guys who spend their whole life's savings to fix up their already-ugly cars and trying to pimp girls at the import shows or night races in chinatown. it is NOT cute. with your nasty, crusty-ass shoes n shit.. better go shoppin for some decent looking clothes instead of investing your money on that damn hoopty ride you've got. *smile* "

Well I wouldn't have been exactly as harsh, but I totally know what's she's talking about. I don't know why there is still this cult following of young Asians that follow this weird trend of acting ghetto and uneducated. Is this the rebellion of Asian youths who are tired of having that "smart Asian nerd" stereotype? I do believe in everyone having the right to be however they want to be, but doesn't that mean you should be a little bit original? I feel like some of today's Asian hip-hopsters have ripped off of the whole rapper style trend and added Chinese lettering to it. Is it racist of me to be critical of my own race? I hope not... I am just concerned.. concerned that young Asians are finding confidence in themselves the wrong way. What ever happened to preppy Asians that speak proper English? Is that not an "IN" thing anymore?

Only on the net...

...will you find one's confession on their nauseating desire to pop their zits -- big ones at that! Well.. I'd have to give them credit for brute honesty...

A Subject I Normally NEVER Talk About...

"Ogling over women's breasts is good for a man's health and can add years to his life, medical experts have discovered. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female is equivalent to a 30 minute aerobics work-out" declared gerontologist Dr. Karen Weatherby..."

Amazing science isn't it? I wonder where they get the funding for such research projects. My question is... if looking at women's chests can be beneficial to men, what similar thing can women do to get similar results? For some reason I get the feeling there is no such "research project" going on to determine that yet... but you never know...

Btw... sorry if I offended you my two lil sisters.

Oh My GOSH.. LOOK!

It's a BMW Del Sol! Or something.... I swear some people put all their money into souping up their cars instead of paying for a decent education so they don't make such idiotic decisions.

Yay! After a few months break, Loobylu aka Claire is back! As cute as ever, too!

I hate to bitch, but....

I saw this job posting on Monster.com...

US-TX-Addison-Entry Level Administrative Assistant/Receptionist

AMAZING ENTRY-LEVEL ADMIN WANTED!

High tech executive placement firm seeks an energetic individual for the position of an Administrative Assistant/ Receptionist in our beautiful office in Addison, Texas. Immediate entry-level opening for a bright and fun person who is looking to work within a professional, fast-paced environment. A college degree is a strong plus. Must have solid Windows, Word Processing skills, and a good speaking voice. MS Word and Excel preferred. Full benefits included.

** If you're looking for your start in the business world and an opportunity to prove yourself please give us a call.

Salary: $26,000 to $26,000 per year

... and I just wanted to say... what college graduate in their right mind wants get out of school and become a glorified secretary and get paid jack crap for it? How is a college degree a PLUS in an entry level receptionist position? Do they teach you how to use a staple or answer the phone properly in college? Come on!

Now I *realize* that the economy is really crummy right now as I myself am a tech sector casualty, but I don't think college grads should have to lower their standards just to get into the workforce. What's even worse is that I've seen even lower paying jobs (like $7/hr) that require a college degree!!!!!

You could easily say some people just need the experience or do the job for the love of it... but get real! Don't most people have bills to pay? mouths to feed?

I think it's sad that there are people out there that don't get paid much for all the work they do.. and somehow have to manage what little money they are spared. People should not have to experience life that way... especially if they busted their ass through 4 years of college! Personally, I have NO college degree but I've easily managed to make a lot more money annually than than the job listed above, so that just means when it comes to looking for work after graduating, be smart and don't get suckered into some entry-level job that pays you peanuts (except if it's a special field that truly requires previous experience like medicine)... *especially* an office job -- unless you know that you'll have a chance to move up rather quickly because of your educational background.

Don't fish, it hurts.

I NEED A BREAK!

It's summertime... I have no priorities... no school... no work (but I'm looking of course)... and right now I just don't feel like working on my site. I think I'm going to take a break from the website/journal thing for a while.... maybe a week.. maybe 2 weeks... I need to spend some time working on my house... trying to make it smell better, look more presentable.. decorate it a little... make use of the kitchen. Too much time lately has been spent in front of the computer, if not to play EQ, then job hunting... blah. So.. I need to relieve my eyes and fingers for a while and TRY to do a bit less stuff involving the computer. It's going to be hard, but maybe I'll feel better after doing it for a bit.

What do you want out of life?

I've been thinking lately... what the heck do I want out of life? I think all my life, I've been very ignorant to my actual needs because I'm always worried more about what other people would probably want me to want. So.. if I ask myself what I really want out of life... the only thing I can say is that I want to be happy and not forget that I'm my own damn person.

Levi's Superlow Jeans

Just wanted to say.. I think their commercial where the belly buttons are singing "I'm comin' out" is really disgusting.. even though those chic's abs look fabulous... the fact that the belly buttons are singing makes them look repulsive. Maybe it's because I'm not a guy, but heck even Chris thinks it's gross.

A Happy Belated Burfday!

Happy 21st Birthday Miss Amy!!!! :) Amy turned 21 this past Friday :P I was such a loser to be playing EQ instead of posting it when I should have. :) Hope you got everything you wanted girly:)
