Blechhh
So I recently came down with the stomach flu, or something like it. Fever, weakness, chills, throwing up. It was pretty horrible. I don't remember being so bedridden in quite a while. My diet has been BRATty, but I should be switching to normal foods soon.
Ugh... 2009 has been a year full of sickness.

Girl Problems
I hit my girlfriend today and feel like shit.
We were having an argument and she went too far. She made a comment along the lines of "your loser father couldn't keep a relationship together and you can't either!". When I was around 6 or 7, my parents got divorced and fought for custody. My mom wanted me and my sister because she genuinely loved us. My dad wanted us just to spite my mom. She won, and my dad kinda lost it over the years.
This was too far for me. I have never, EVER hit a girl before, but it happened so fast I didn't even know I did it.
Basically, I cocked my fist back, and flew it straight into her nose. I thought it would be like the movies where she would get a little trickle of blood. It wasn't. Her nose EXPLODED. I think I must have broken a bunch of cartilage or something because blood shot out of both her nostrils, got all over me, got all over the floor. She staggered backwards, hit her head hard enough on the wall to leave a dent, and slumped down.
We were both stunned for about 10 seconds before she started crying hysterically and ran into my room and locked the door. So I went to wash my hands, and while I was in the bathroom I heard her run out of the house and take off in her car. That was about 5 hours ago so I guess she didn't go to the cops or anything. So later I went home and broke down in tears.. My mom came in the room and when she heard about the story she got scared and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror if anything i can say that this cab was rare but i thought "nah forget it yo homes to bel air!" I pulled up to the house for about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cab yo homes smell ya later, looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of bel air.
:P

Mic Check 1 2 3
What do you do when you come across something you know you can't have?
Do you keep pressing on, because nothing is impossible? The sky's the limit they say, so shoot for the man on the moon. Who cares that people give you those disapproving looks. It feels good to be selfish. Take, take, take. Better yet, just grab! Eventually you'll make the right catch.
Do you settle for the next best thing, because we can't all be superstars? What does it mean to have reality slap you in the face? SLAAAAP!! So many people, so many talents, leave them alone so they can pursue their dreams. Don't get thrown under the bus, you might as well hang on for the ride. New faces, new places. Find your place, create your face.
Do you mope, because just thinking about it makes you depressed? It feels good to cry. The tears streaming down your face. Choking back your sobs so no one else hears you. Falling asleep within your blurred reflections. There's a serenity that puts your whole life back into perspective.

Let the rain fall down.
Went on a boat trip off of Laguna Beach. Transects, flippers, spit in goggles, weighing anchor, clipboards, dramamine, dolphins, sea lions, bait balls. It felt gooOoOooOod.

Leaves of Grass
We two boys together clinging,
One the other never leaving,
Up and down the roads going-- North and South excursions making,
Power enjoying-- elbows stretching-- fingers clutching,
Arm'd and fearless-- eating, drinking, sleeping, loving.
--Walt Whitman
Oh, and someone broke into our house today!!!

Post-Election Stress
It was historic.
Obama is inspiring.
America is poised to rebuild its image worldwide.
We are optimistic for great change.
The excitement is still everywhere...
But on a separate battleground, the principles of equality that stand as the cornerstone of our nation have been shaken. Living in the 21st century, I take pride in the knowledge that discrimination has become an evil of the past, or at the very least, the current social taboo. Our society makes an effort to look beyond race, sex, age, etc. because to allow those factors alone to deny opportunities is wrong. It gets complicated to be sure, but parity is our living creed.
So why does California now stand with discriminatory language written into its Constitution? Why is a group of people being singled out under the law? The attempt (and sadly, success) to amend the Constitution so that something, by default, was no longer unconstitutional is frightening. Also puzzling are arguments that refer to religious texts as authority, to which I ask what happened to the separation of church and state?
But civil rights movements achieve the greater success because their goals are undeniably just. Women's suffrage is so fundamentally ingrained among our generation. "Separate but equal" was an egregious policy that we cannot imagine being implemented today. And how many of us today would frown upon an interracial marriage? It requires time for the landscape of the human consciousness to change. Time, however, is a passive agent. People make the difference. So when 5 million Californians voted against injustice, their voices reflected not a defeat but a growing passion for equality. That is what makes me proud, and that is what still excites me.
GObama! Go California! Go humanity!

Splat!
Today I saw a car swerve to its left to avoid hitting a pedestrian. It was a red light for the pedestrian. Now I'm afraid that I will hit a reckless pedestrian. Now pedestrian is a weird word. Sorry for this pedestrian entry xD

Skinny Jeans
The most I've ever weighed was 115 lbs. Normally, I'm somewhere around 111. This past week, I jumped all the way to 119.5 lbs. OMG.

A.C.
So, yesterday was a pretty fun day. I visited my friend Sandra up in Glendale. We walked around the Glendale Galleria and the surrounding shops, and I even learned about a dazzling store called Ed Hardy. Too shiny for me. We also ventured into Gilly Hicks, one of A&F's cousins the skinny saleslady told us. The store's layout was gorgeous and felt like some upscale studio. There were bras and panties of every possible shade, too. Uhh.. why am I talking about this?! Moving on.. There was an old-fashioned trolley that twisted its way around the plaza, but the conductor refused us service. Haha, because the trolley was on break. Then we had crepes; I had a raspberry chicken one, and it's too bad I don't remember the name of the vendor because it was delectable.
But, I had to eat it while driving on the way to the CBS studio. There, we waited outside, sitting on benches, face-to-face with future studio audience friends. It was a re-creation of the walk-of-shame of the Rocky dining hall, with all eyes focused on you as you made your way down the aisle. After an hour?? they finally ushered us in.
So there we sat, watching a taping for MTV's Top Pop Group. The set-up was just like ABDC, except with singers and different judges. Overall, it was just all right. I don't think this show will be as huge of a sensation.
The highlight was seeing Mario Lopez, the host of the show, in person. When he's not chatting with the performers on stage, he's in different locations around the audience. Luckily, we were sitting right next to one of those platforms. He's so pretty.
We also saw Chris Elwood. We couldn't figure out who he was at the time and he was just part of the stage crew, but he looked so familiar. Sandra thought he was in Jacka**. I thought he was on Punk'd. After the show, we went up to him, and he told us that he was an actor, and that he was on the first season of Punk'd. Yay! I win! And then when I got home and looked him up, I found out that he was one of Jeff's fired assistants on Flipping Out! So that's where I've seen him too. He also looks like Josh Duhamel, so I was even more confused.
But now I have a wristband competition with Sandra that I'm going to win. The challenge is to see who can keep his/hers on the longest. I'm not going to lose!!!!
