Rated TV-PG for Mild Language. Reality. Ow!

I rear-ended someone this morning. For anyone who has heard that but has no clue what it means, it basically is I hit the bumper of the car in front of me. Let’s explain the story… Red light turned green; Cars started moving, and so did she, in this crap-mobile. As I was looking to switch lanes, she stopped suddenly (You aren’t supposedy to do this, folks.) I then said “Oh F@#K” about 20 times before pulling around and then getting out and giving her my license in a parking lot. She said that she has had previous accidents, and one even involved a sheriff that rear-ended her. This woman’s history disturbs me, but it just pisses me off that a shit-mobile like that has a bumper that will cost more than $1,000 to replace, even though it only had two 1.5-inch cracks on either side, and I’m not even sure if I made those. All I know is that my next few paychecks will be made payable to All State Indemnity Co. and State Farm. Joy.

The rest of my day was pretty weird because I didn’t have my laptop. The hard drive crashed on Thursday, and finally, the hard drive arrived today…

I have to:
+Do an essay. Many pages, I’m sure;
+Do 100 Index Cards with info, citing a source on each one
by Friday. There’s probably more that I don’t know about; It’ll be fun to see how that turns out. HA!

Juan and myself argued a bit but it always ends positively; that’s just how it goes with us I guess. Gotta love it. Take the hint; It’ll be worth something.

Work tomorrow, and Saturday (training/work). Sunday, movie with Juan. I’m free Friday night (: Join me!

Truly Brilliant. Typos and errors left intact, adding to its creative value. (OK, those irritating >’s at the beginning of each line were edited out!) And for the record, he’s probably 5′ 9″, minimum.

**HAVE YOU EVER**

FALLEN OFF THE BED: Iâ¿¿ve fallen off my chair….

HAD PLASTIC SURGERY: OF what? And at this age?
BROKE SOMEONEâ¿¿S HEART: She says I broke it, I donâ¿¿t know, I hope I didnâ¿¿t…. cause I really love her.
HAD YOUR HEART BROKEN: ALL THE TIME…… but it only REALLY hurt from one person……… cause she is the one I was suppose to be with…… but I guess not cause she is not with me……
HAD A DREAM COME TRUE: Not yet, once I have my daughter, then I will say yes. Though, when I have the right girl I suppose that will be a nice dream too.

WATCHING: Well nothing but I last watched Frontlineâ¿¿s Son of Alt Qaida.
SHOULD REALLY BE: Writing people emails, WHEN WILL PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT I AM A HERMIT, and SOLITARY……. Unless you contact me daily, which they wont, so donâ¿¿t complain when it takes 3 weeks for me to write you an email, UNLESS You write more than a paragraph, CAPICE, you silly raggamuffin.

**DO YOU**

BRUSH YOUR TEETH: No, I am trying to be British.

Though girls are too smart, so she probably knows, but I guess that means she doesnâ¿¿t like me, because she doesnâ¿¿t do anything about it, Its better that way, the last girl I loved left me with a bitter taste, and then my exgirlfriend made me! realize how much I truly hate the universe.

**THE LAST PERSON YOU**

HUGGED: Mayra, and one day I will be hugged by Winona Ryder, until that day comes, Mayra, you are the greatest!

**PERSONAL**

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU GROW UP: I want to create Che Guevaraâ¿¿s dream of a unified no corrupt Latin American state from the valley of Mexico to the strait of Meagellan. It isnâ¿¿t going to happen, but I will settle for an upper middle class business job with one or two daughters and a wife I can make happy…….. I am so screwed.
WHAT WAS THE WORSE DAY OF YOUR LIFE: When I realized that I was never going to be with the girl I wanted to be with, that and when I lost five dollars, I LOVED THEM SO MUCH……….. Most of my life is a bad day……. But some days are h! arder than others……..
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE: It will be when Alexia is born, because my life has just started, and few good things have ever occurred.
WHAT COMES FIRST IN YOUR LIFE: Alexia, my loves (hopefully it wont be plural in the future), my family, MEXICO, LATIN AMERICA, ME, and Canada (I also love Nintendo, Mickey Mouse, and pornography to name a couple of things)

(I am technically trying to stop pornography, cause of the girls I like, but itâ¿¿s a slow a progress and you canâ¿¿t use shock therapy, withdrawal is so evil)
DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND/CRUSH: I have four pillars, The Illusion, The Lust, The Girlfriendâ¿¿s Lust, and The Greatest Girl. Explanation you same, The Illusion is the girl I was suppose to be with, that everyday I think about, and how my life would have been perfect had she been with me, but SHE IS NOT, so its just an illusion. The lust is BELEN cause she is the greatest Argentinean ever, and The Giflriendâ¿¿s Lust, is belenâ¿¿s girlfriend, who ever she is. And the The Greatest Girl EVER, is the girl I want to be with but cantâ¿¿ be with.
WHAT DO YOU THINK BOUT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED: I think of A LOT of things, I think of my third love, I think of my ½ love, I think of the injustice in Latin America, the beauty of a flower, and always my little girl Alexia…….. Though she is sad that she doesnâ¿¿t have a m! other, and I AM SAD that I am not getting to procreate her but thatâ¿¿s another argument. 3/25/05

Thank you for not commenting, and just laughing inside

I’ll write something relating to me soon enough…

Hey, word up! This is a truly worthless entry as something for me to look back on… Don’t read it if you don’t want to (;

A very wise man once said “Be careful how you word contracts”… Actually, it wasn’t a wise man… Or maybe I am. It was me being a smart-ass, but a smart-ass with a point. Oops!

Rated TV-PG for Mild Language. Don’t Tell…

I’ve had quite a few run-ins with teachers this week. This seems to top all the weeks as far as dismay with the administrative and educational staffs at various campuses. Regardless, I have remained relatively relaxed…

Yeah, right!

I did my first official day of work (though not the first day of pay– that was on Sunday with training, part one of two)… Though I can hardly call it work, because during the majority of the time I was there, I completed tests, eCompasses, which were quite slow at times. The slowest one was where you had to read something that took less than 3 seconds to read, and there was a screenshot of the BBY website (This particular eCompass was BestBuy.com v3.0 Training, the SLOWEST of them all). I then had to wait for the screenshot to scroll up to the bottom of the page, even though the screenshots were totally useless. ANYWAY, you’re probably getting bored just considering the idea.

I felt semi-accomplished, because I knew a majority of the information; I think the manager will be pleased that I finished all the eCompass ones that he told me to do. I have about 4 remaining, all of which are just tests with no reviewing like the other ones. Should be loads of fun. Part Two of Training occurs on Saturday, so there’s another four hours of pay for doing nada!

Moving on, let’s sum up my week.

Monday, I don’t think anything eventful happened there… All right then. I guess the only thing was I took a vehicle to drive to Nimitz? But that’s about it, I guess. I have the car now all the time, but we’re going to need another vehicle soon *Drools over RSX*… And…

Tuesday. Worked. Talked all about that… I shadowed my friend because the other two guys the supervisor (Chance) wanted me to shadow were not there. That was mainly due to eCompass Exhaustion, and I helped one customer. I walked him over to the other battery section, and told him that 16 batteries in one package were the maximum that BBY sold in one package. (I use BBY because it seems everyone else in the company does, so why not me?)…

Wednesday. Sat. Did nothing I think. That was grand. Oh wait, HA, That was yesterday– Go me. I called up UTD and they confirmed that they have everything that they need, but haven’t made a decision yet… I’m thinking I should write an essay and mail that to them, as well, and possibly a letter or two of recommendation… Especially Mrs. Lori Welch’s, who puts me as one of the top 10 most promising students of her career…

Now it’s Thursday. I was whiny last night because of all the nonsense. I called Sprint, and spent at least two hours talking with them; we configured a plan for two phones and X minutes (I don’t want to hear anyone complaining about how I don’t have enough minutes; I HATE PHONES!!! I barely use 2 hours a month at home, and that’s unmetered!) I have an old phone; I am in love with my old phone, so much that they tried activating it for up to an hour, and they could not, when I had called last month and two different representatives said that when I was ready I could activate the service. I already have the Voicemail and when you call my number it routes to that voicemail… I have no way of checking it yet or aything, Heh.

My plans for this afternoon… I have to call Best Buy. That should be loads of fun. Another update later on. Yay for w0rk! It keeps me busy. And for once, when I walk into Best Buy, someone will be knowledgable… Me… Because I just walked in, and… I’m knowledgeable. Thank you much. All for now.

I thought the subject of this post was more interesting than the post itself… Lol. Moving on. [Yes, I fixed a typo just now in the first line... for those of you who came here because of my new blog entry notice e-mail.]

Let’s discuss the important topics, then (just like a good article in the newspaper) all the finer details will be reserved for last… (Low-Class Translation: Everything that I would care about that you won’t will be found later on.)

I have a driver’s license. I have an addiction to Latin House Krew. (Have for a while now… Oxymoron! Hawt.) I have new headphones. I have a car. I have a job (Best Buy). I’m going to training for it on Sunday. (OK, that was a secondary detail; oops on my behalf.)

This week has been anything but Spring Break. We can even vaguely reference it to hell, except colder.

I awoke on Monday morning at 5AM. Keep in mind that the last time I woke up this early was because I was sick, or my family was going on vacation (over 5 years ago). That said, we departed with my friend who also was to take the driving test that morning. We waited until 7:30, when they unlocked the doors (finally)?…

I didn’t know we had to have a Social security card available right there to take it, and I hadn’t filled out the application, nor had I taken the written test. We went to the Social security office twice (read the previous post to find out more about this tragic day)…

On Tuesday, I rested up for my first interview (in person) with Best Buy. Last Saturday, they had called me and did a short phone interview… I guess I did good, because I was called into an interview on (You guessed it!) Tuesday. I did that interview, and if I do say so myself, I bombed severely. If I like you, ask me how you can get guaranteed success at being hired… if I don’t like you, ask me too–I’ll make sure you don’t work there (;

Anyway, I was told I would have another interview, and so it was done; I had two more interviews, and here I am, four interviews and one orientation session later…

On Friday (or so), Devin Whorton told me he was applying so I sort of helped him along with the application; He got called and I told him ahead what the questions would be and I’m guessing he did good so now he gets to work with me. Woot [I forgot to mention him until I finally IMed him to tell him I was done; Oops...]

FYI: Why do I do that (Typing out whole name)? I do that so that people can figure out where their name has been on the Internet… (; Search for Frederick Szczepanski–Yes, that guy on PC World’s Answer Line in multiple languages is me…

My headphones finally arrived; Thursday, about 15 minutes before I had to leave for my 2nd and 3rd interviews (crammed into less than two hours)… You can read back exactly two posts to find links to their pages. I’ve found very few differences between them (aside from one costing three times more than the other one)… However, I did notice a few things that may make them worth the money. One, they fold… Though I find that feature utterly worthless, others may find that convenient. I think it just allows the cord to bend more and may make their life shorter. There’s only a 90-Day warranty, FYI. After that short grace period, you have to pay for all your fixes (; The more expensive models gained a pretty bad reputation.

Right now, I’m listening to one of my favorite DJ’s–Latin House Krew. It’s a group of three Hispanic artists, DJ Ivy, DJ Spin, and DJ Phinatik. (Not just alphabetical, but they’re listed in the order that I like their mixing styles. All three are superb, since they usually team up to mix continuously without a break. HAHA! No pun intended… Whoa, severe DJ pun there. Break, get it? OK…)

I really don’t feel like writing in this, but I haven’t, and a lot has developed. On Saturday, I went to UTD for a visit in a real class… It’s a nice school, but I’m still not sure–I’m confused!

In closing, I have a few interesting things for you:
-This hasn’t been a break for me. If anything, I’ve had to work harder than I ever have before.
-I had a really weird dream; If I care to talk about it, I will later on, but not now.
-so much is happening in a short period of time.

Is this how life is from now on? I knew to expect things at a faster pace as I got older, but I’m going to hate having to make all my decisions for myself. It’s been nice having people guide me along, and I certainly don’t want to start college alone. I want to get back with my ex badly; I feel like that’s the only person I’ll want to spend the rest of my life with. Odd to close off bridges before even getting to them, if you know what I mean, but that seems like the latest trend now. Let’s just hope what we’re doing is right, and not look to the future. So I ask of you, let’s live in the present, and be prepared for the future, but just not think about it too much (; Because with every moment you think about your future, you’re wasting the present.

I’m a horrible procrastinator; I really need to stop doing that. On top of that, I thought I’d give you some music. This is (by far) one of the most amazing tracks I’ve found of electronica. It’s just a multitude of genres and styles of music, into one 12:22 (12-minute, 22- second) track. Have a link:
DJ Ivy – DJ Ivy on Acid (Latin House Krew).wma This is 32Kbps; I have it in its original bitrate if you want it… Even if you don’t really like electronica or the other music on my site, check that out. Really awesome, riiiiiiiight? You better agree…

I know this post wasn’t up to my normal quality but I had to publish something… On to Monday, where I don’t have to work, then Tuesday, where my actual jobs starts at 4:30 (with tests)!…

[[Sensitive things here.]]

This is from yesterday’s post:

Tomorrow’s Agenda:

Planning Doesn’t Preserve. Let’s Watch All My Plans Go To Hell!
—

Let’s describe how my plans actually went:
Today’s Agenda:
+5AM: Wake up (wow, got one right!)
+550: Leave House (10 Mins Later… that’s OK.)
+600: Arrive (Take test? HA! They open at 7:30.)
+800: Find out that you cannot take the test because a) You do not have your Social Security Number (or card) with you, b) You haven’t taken the written test yet, c) You haven’t filled out the application yet, d) You don’t have the Receipt for payment of the Driving Fee.
+900: Wait for Friend to Finish up to take him home; he failed his test. Sucked at parellel parking.
+10A: Depart to go to the Social Security Administration Office.
+1030: Arrive, get papers. There are only two people in line, and two windows open (woot!)
11A: Back to the DPS.
1130: Arrive at the DPS; “This isn’t what you need! It doesn’t say your social security number! You need a paper stating your nmber with your name, not just something that says you will get it in the mail in two weeks!” Go back where you came from. Step, Revert!
1145: Back to the Social Security Administration Office. There is now a line of 20+ people, and 2 windows open. We wait, for an hour, just to get a printout that takes 30 seconds. [Un-woot, indeed.]
1PM: We arrive back at the DPS where I turn in all my needed papers; woot for me. I wait about 45 minutes then take the Written Test. I make an 88%, even though I missed any question I had related to drinking and driving… but this is Texas; Who cares?!
230: Finally leave.
300: Pick up Chinese Food!
330: Home Sweet Home.
400: Find out that the Sear’s I am going to go to a job interview for is too far (and “too full of black people”); I call, let the phnoe ring 200 times [literally] to know I won’t be able to make it, and give up.
410: I am asleep.
[I know this isn't relevant, but...]
Sometime While Sleeping: I dreamed about Chris and how I tried to be his friend again, and it didn’t work because I said what I did was unforgivable and such. Am I just getting around to processing that?
+630: Still @ Home Sweet Home.

I am definitely still on for the Best Buy interview tomorrow! Hawt indeed… And, that’s why I don’t plan ahead.

Rated TV-14 for Mature Language. Reality.

Good Stuff. Eh?! =P

I was thinking, is it possible for me to get too personal with one of these entries? Isn’t that how I always am? Yet I always seem to show it in a way that makes it publicly presentable!

Without further ado, let’s get to all the ups my week has had! Amazingly, through this entire week, nothing negative has happened. If some of you already know more personal things than I care to mention on this blog, you’re probably more surprised than most, but allow me to explain. Everyone should get the point by the time I am done.

I don’t know what I’m doing up. I found a few new motives to finish this entry. So, let’s go.

I watched this special about cell phone users, and how we’ve all become a more distant world while trying to remain connected. Though I’ve known this for years, it seems many people don’t really understand the concept that technology is pulling us apart– with some exceptions.

When we see people talking on their cell phones, we always wonder what they’re saying. That’s because this is our key element of communication. When we hear something we like, or don’t like, we have a tendency to respond to it… However, when half the population is on their cell phone, we don’t have the chance to respond [if we don't know or even if we do know the person] to what they are saying because we’re hearing only half of the conversation, leaving a lot in the air as to what is really being said.

It’s unfortunate that many of us think that by having a cell phone, we’ll gain popularity, or be able to interact with more people, when in reality, plans with more and more minutes just give us a way out of having good face-to-face time with people, and ‘connecting’ us more is just a bland (and horrid) substitute for actual physical interaction.

I thought about getting a cell phone jammer… and I will, but look out! The FCC is watching:

The FCC states the following: “The operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (“Act”). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. The Act prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C. Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government.” link

Lol. They’ve never charged anyone with this crime… It’s pretty hard to find out if someone’s doing this, by the way, and even though they’re illegal in the US [to buy], majority of sales is generated by the United States. Great indeed! Prices range from $200 and beyond.

Aside from that, however, you can get brain cancer! Mmm, Sexy indeed.

I’m going to ramble a bit about what all has happened this week. You’re going to love hearing about it, and some of it precedes my previous blog post(s), so on with the show!

[Some parts of this post have been pasted from AIM conversations since I have provided an immense quantity of details to specific parties about certain situations, eliminating the need for me to retype all of the text.]

Today was, by far, one of my best feel-good days of the year. Everything went my way, except for the following:
+Didn’t feel like eating dinner.
+Cut myself shaving in 4 places (including my nose… 2nd time this has happened the night of a concert…)

I just rambled my heart out to someone, so I’ll do it to my Binary web server. (Is it binary? Eh, who cares?! It is if I say it is.)

So, my day (and evening, and night) was pretty amazing on Thursday. I honestly had no complaints. I had to do a concert tonight, and, whoa. There was this amazing bass player. He goes to MacArthur, I believe (for the record). He went all the way to All-State… If you would’ve seen how much he shifted on his solo– It was just mind-blowingly amazing.What’s additionally interesting is, I got to use the F-word to someone in an incredibly ecstatic tone. I’ve never had a chance to do that…

Normally when we use profanity, it’s to express disgust (etc.) with something. [That's how I use it, shit!] Anyway, after hearing the solo (and during), I wanted to slit my wrists. Not in some depressing way, since slitting wrists is normally used as as negative connotation to something. I just wish I would be able to play better with my instrument. I play Violin, in case you didn’t know. Last week, in my Orchestra class at Nimitz, we traded instruments and learned to play a new instrument (if you can call that learning). Regardless, I chose the bass, and didn’t realize it was such a pain to play. It’s actually an incredible challenge. Basses (or as they are more professionally referred to, the “Double bass”) are the largest instruments in any Orchestra, producing the deep sounds you hear but don’t realize you are hearing.

His solo was a very nice movement from [some artist... I should know this. So much for Music Theory! X_X] meant for a violin. Since basses produce such low pitches, a piano was brought in to accompany him. What’s amazing was, out of the five soloists that evening, he was the only one to memorize his music–very impressive. So when he was done, I tapped him on his shoulder and was like, “You don’t know me, but that was fucking awesome.”

A brief lesson on my speaking:
1) I don’t say “fucking” at random…
2) I never say “fucking” aloud to someone
3) I don’t say “Awesome” unless I really mean it [and I did!]
My response, further, was: Holy crap, that shifting was amazing. I mean… I can barely shift on my own instrument and it’s way smaller and I told him that we had switched instruments in orchestra this week, and that I played bass, and that my fingers were killing me. He said that he “could have done better”… HA! I replied with “You could’ve done hella worse… you could have been me!”And then finally I said, “So yeah, just thought I’d let you know that” and he said, “Thanks dude”… If only all people were as cool as that.

When the concert finished, two hours later, I went to the rehearsal room where a few nifty things happened.
1) I gave this girl my number. I heard [word] that she thought I was “hott” so I decided to try that out…
2) I saw this guy that looked cool… He kicked a piece of pizza to me, and I kicked it back, so that kept us [+one more guy] entertained for a few minutes… Yeah, somehow I’m going to talk to that guy again. Somehow… Maybe through #1? (;

In a hilarious Memo that ACAD[emy] sent me, I was being notified that I was in *DANGER* of failing a REQUIRED COURSE to GRADUATE! OH MY! Call the Counselors! Call Mommy! I’m in DANGER! Notice my Averages:
A A B C F… Uhh… That doesn’t look like “DANGER” to me. (C was Exam…) Regardless, it was something worth looking at to entertain me for a few minutes.

So back to that guy (who I don’t know his name…) and will, eventually. As I was walking out, I took a pizza box [with pizza in it! Leftovers from earlier] and was about to leave when he pulled on it and tried to take it away. I eventually was like “Here, have it!” and he didn’t want it… Lmao. That’s so a personal note, not meant for you guys to understand.
