Thursday was annoying

I received a call from my nephew yesterday, he asked me if I could take him to baseball practice at 4pm after my 1-3pm class. I told him "yeah sure no problem." Last night/morning I fell asleep watching TV in my basketball shorts and no shirt on the couch downstairs at about 4am. I woke up at 9am this morning and I was freezing!!!! After waking up I went upstairs to my warm bed to sleep some more. The ring tone to my phone downstairs woke me up, I went downstairs to see the missed call and noticed it was 4:30pm!!!!! I over slept soooo much, missed class, and missed my nephews practice!!! :( :( :( Immediately I gave him a call and apologized, he said "it's ok and it wasn't a mandatory practice." I didn't feel so bad after that. My days this week have been lacking sleep. Averaging about 5 hours of sleep each night so today I just did a ton of catching up I guess + I'm not sure if I set my alarm when I went to my room upstairs or my little sister shut it off because it was not waking me up.

My Dad got home at about 5:30pm today and called me to come downstairs. I noticed he was holding a yellow slip in his hands, he tells me that I got a parking ticket for parking in the wrong direction against a curb(-.-). NO ONE ever gets a parking ticket in my neighborhood, I live in the definition of a "suburb."

Last night when I got home from my brothers house, I had to make a decision whether to park on the driveway or park in the street. I parked in the street because there is always this car infront of my house that steals my Dad's parking spot, I seen it was open and I thought I was clever to steal it back... not smart enough(-.-). But that's not the reason I received the ticket... I was just stupid and didn't even think about it... I've parked like that a number of times but this time I was bit in the ass. This leaves me to believe that some one notified the police... this is one clever cat... my turn for revenge *evil laughs* muhahahaha.

I returned the movies I rented today and picked up: smoking ace's, the last king of scottland, and rented Virtual Tennis 3 a PS3 game for my nephews. I love watching movies... I prefer that than going out to a club. I just got home from my Brother's house and I'm now watching Matrix II while blogging on the laptop. Neo of the Matrix is about to beat the shit out of a bunch of agents... one of my favorite movies ever.

my naruto(anime) is finish downloading!!! blogger sure makes time fly haha.
I guess tomorrow is 4/20... if you're not familiar with this term it is the national pot smoker day -.-
Nothing against marijuana smokers just not my thing, never smoked weed, and never plan to ... my dog is next to me and hes snoring.... night night.

In the Ueno park in Tokyo on can see a lot of the homeless people from Tokyo living there in self-made tents off blue plastic foil. In some sense they are a part of the park, like the cherry trees, the lotus plants or the tourists. They're always calm, never aggressively begging. Most of them try to live a life as normal as possible, so they keep their places clean, and very often one can see, that they even put off their shoes if they're entering their tents, like all Japanese do if they enter their homes.

Tuesday Virginia Tech's mourning

I woke up today at 7:30am and made myself a protein shake. Leaving the house around 8:45, I was a bit late to my 9 o’clock class but it was ok. During my 4 hour computer lecture class, I checked the cnn.com where I found out that the press had released the Virginia Tech gunman’s identity.


The gunman in Monday's massacre at Virginia Tech was Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior English major from Centreville, Virginia.
-CNN

I honestly feel bad for this man... people are not born killers and there must have been some kind of horrible event in his life to trigger this absurd behavior. None the less it is a tragic event that leaves a lot of families empty. Once again my condolences to the victims’ families and god bless.

To show respect for the victims of Monday’s violence, my school raised its flags at half staff.

Today was an ok day, nothing too crazy. I had a midterm this afternoon, but I feel I did fairly well on it. I got home around 4pm and just relaxed…. Been so busy lately eeeeesh I need a vacation. I started my strength training today after being out of the loop for some time. It’s time to hulk up :D I’ve lost just over 50 pounds in the last 6 months. After finishing high school I gained 60 pounds in just a few months…. I really let myself go but I had to stop that mess and put an end to that. I want to stay where I’m at now but just bulk up and try and mass out. Then around June I will try and cut up for the summer. Hopefully I can stay to on the plan, I’m going to feel bloated for the next week because of creatine :(. I’m going to try and take weekly pictures of progress. Convert that to a video time-lapse, it’ll be interesting. Besides that I had a fairly decent work out tonight, reality hit me. If you stop your workout plan and jump back on it after a long break….you’re going to be weak as fk! Haha
time to sleep goodnight, waking up in 5 ½ hours:(.

"Local, state and federal investigators scoured a university campus in Virginia for clues to what set off the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history after a gunman shot two people to death in a dormitory Monday morning before making his way to a classroom building where, silently and coolly, he killed 30 more people before turning his weapon on himself, authorities said."
