Ah, i'm at work right now, its finally quited down from all those calls about the new csun system. now i can blog like the old days.
Haiku:

Eating Pretzel Flips
I enjoy a lovely break
from monotony.

Doesn't it make you happy when someone is in pain? you sicko.

Doesn't it make you sad when someone else is happy? you cad.

I snack too damn much. I never eat meals, i just snack. I did my group presentation today. It sucked that we couldn't get the projector to work. Our entire project was based on it. So we just winged it, on improv. I improv'ed my whole intro, it was great. and i improved the ending. not so great.

For my presentation I used a bottle of V8 to represent a can of tomatoes. bad? spicy V8.

i got to drink it afterward. i hate eating tomatoes but drinking them is cool.

did you ever get that feeling you're doing exactly something that someone else has done just recently this day, week, or month?

did you ever see someone else do something you've already done, and go "pah-shah!"?

happens to all the luke time.

luke thinks that talking about himself in the third person could seriously damage his lobes.

someday when my kids read this they will ask me what are lobes. then they will ask me what pauly shore and encino man are.

life is a never ending string of questions, hanging from a faint logical idea.

"is" is a strong word. "is like" is less strong, but just as meaningful.

two of my exes met each other today. its kinda like when in back to the future part two the same person sees himself in the future and faints. they either faint or it creates a time paradox that destroys the universe.

Foods of the week:
Jabbars pork rinds.
Save-on pork rinds
Jalapeno Beef jerky.
Reeses pieces.
King's Burger Quesadillas.

not very healthy but its luke logic that says if i only drink water it'll be ok.
pork rinds sure are a devils food. kind of disgusting when you think about it. pig skin should be made into footballs not food.

i found a new alley at csun where i can purchase snacks. hence some of the above snack list. the alley that leads to the arcade was closed. i turned my bike around.

i remember first getting into quesadillas. they were cooked to me in wheat tortillas, warm and fresh. i couldn't eat them all.

its the details that count. and yes i do remember the details, of everything. i remember the best part of each girlfriend i had. what the favorite thing i liked them to wear, the favorite place to hold them. its these things you gotta be fit to forget. we all are to blame.

i remember star wars at disneyland, one of my favorites, somebody elses worst.

what do you have to do to get someone to believe you? i hate when people don't believe me.

i remember thailand (ah yes finally fufilling one of my previous blog promises - to talk about thailand)
in 3 words decribe thailand?
1.smelly
2.hot
3.hot
thailand was a blur of faces and a buffet of food. ask me about it sometime.
my AAS100 essay sounds like a theatrical trailer: (unfinished)

The San Fernando Valley, my how it has changed. Imagine a time when there was no Northridge, no Jack-in-the-box, no CSUN, just farmland as far as the eye could see. A land where the wind blew carefree and the people took after it. This was the time back before World War II. This was that the time the Japanese Americans enjoyed and worked on the land.

Back when Northridge was North Los Angeles, much of that land was tilled by the people from “The Land of the Rising Sun”. They once owned the land and put their heart and soul into their crops. The land they lived in was mostly a flat, fertile basin that we call the San Fernando Valley today. Not much civilization, it was just the early times of the Valley. They thought to themselves, who would want to live here? They came to America for opportunity and a chance, but what they got was discrimination and a hair’s width of dignity from the jobs they would have to take.

Forced into lower-class jobs by the predominantly white middle class, the Japanese would not be beaten so easily. They started farms, hotels, outposts, general stores, and fisheries. They grew tomatoes and asparagus and lettuce and corn. They raised their families and educated their children. If America didn’t accept them, it would have to assimilate them.

Laws came and laws went, mostly hindering all their efforts. They couldn’t own land if they weren’t citizens, and if they were citizens on paper, in the eyes of America they still were “Japs”. The culmination of this racism was their internment into the camps in 1942.

lets see, this weekend.

went to disney land
worked on 2 group projects
had a physics midterm

and that puts me about..... here.

i rented a contemporary japanese samurai flick, it was a parody of the genre, hilarious (memorable moment: "nipple shock attaaaaaaaaack!!!!") and the movie "comedian" by jerry seinfeld today from blockbuster (snorable). total = 9.48.... wtf, thats more expensive than seeing a movie at the theatre with popcorn. WTF they weren't even new releases or anything.

Let me tell you about disneyland. What I learned my second time there, is that you can have Christmas in November on an 80 degree day. Only morons in california can get away with that i guess.

I also learned the little intricacies of being a person in a disney character suit. There were a lot more there this time than when my mom and i went during summer.

They were all dressed up too, in x-mas attire. Is attire a better word than garb?

Well anyway, they have a little ritual when i noticed when you go to take a picture with them.
Let's take tigger for example...:

Tigger greets you by getting in a legs spread apart stance ("horse stance" if you've ever been in karate)
he then waves with one hand and put his other hand on his hip
while he does this he nods his head (i think the person inside sees though his neck or chest, not his eyes)
after you walk up, he holds his arms out, this is when you decide how your going to pose him for your picture.
for a two person pose, he'll put his arms around each person, and then nod his head a few more times
after you put him through as many pics and poses as you want and that are reasonable, i guess you pull away from him and either shake his hand, give a high five, or hug him
while doing this he nods and bounces around
you say "bye tigger" and thats his cue for the next person.

its all very animated and sad once you realize the person has to do that for hours straight

i guess you learn the intricasies of touch and go relationships. you learn in that suit how do deal with people for a 2 minute span of time.

i just wonder how many variations of the ritual there are...
what if a camera breaks down? what if a kid cries? or adult cries?

it must feel so good to the person in the suit to have something different come up. its like having sex a different way for once.

every picture they take is like a one night stand. you'll never see the person again, but for that moment, you know you're the man. and they'll remember you forever if they don't do that kind of thing all the time.
kinky tho, they like to take pictures.

yes. in conclusion, the disney characters in disneyland are sluts.

i don't think i should elaborate on the more "funner" parts of the weekend. got to keep this thing pg-13 if you know what i mean. ;)

No matter how you hear it or say it, it always comes out the same.

Let's just be friends echoes in my mind. Repercussions and renewals of non-faith stem from the same phrase over and over in my head.

I peel a sticker off that was on my phone. Its one of those sanrio stickers no bigger than your fingernail. Its faded and worn. A sign of the times?

Then on the other hand, I look at the 5 other new stickers just like the one on my phone, and i see a bright picture of 2 happy people. One making a kissy face and the other mouth wide open looking like he was laughing out loud.

Laura and I decided to go the friend route. I don't really know why. Maybe its those differences that stab you in the butt. Could it be that for once my gut instinct was wrong? Aw, who am I kidding, its always been wrong, its just a matter of HOW wrong.

A palmful of polaroids and a few sanrio stickers might be all I have to show.

It isn't, however. We'll see what steak and and the teacups have in store.

Does that put me back on the market? I'd hope not. Luke meat probably isn't that valued anymore.

We never really were going out. Not officially. And no "L" words ocurred. Just our names. Over and over.

Other things that happened:
I need some donuts.
My mom bought my flight tickets, guess I won't be going to TheighLand after all.
Got back to grass roots with roomates
Read a book. Readed a novel. Readeded a lot. Jackie Chans life.
Semi-fixed dad's computer.
Cleaned!?! need i say more?

final thoughts.:
i can't help being a puppy. woman's best friend.

I fell asleep today and woke up with a headache. from 6-9 i was comatose. it felt so good while i was doing it, i didn't want to stop. I wake up and realize i missed going to the movies with my friends, meeting my friend at the coffee shop, and class.

I fell asleep on my physics book.

So. Me and jeff got the client. we are setting up computers for the hungry fox on sherman way. our check = $870.00

I fucken cant find out the name of that alkaline trio song. i'm convinced it doesnt exist now.
"turn your radio off, theres nothing on the airwaves but...." god i wish i knew the lyrics more so i could look it up proper.

I've hit a guitar dead end. I ca't really learn new stuff. I can, but i mean its boring to me.
its time to seek professional help.

Time for Official Luke statements:

About the fire:
Philisophical view - It's nice to know the whorld is still chaotic and can go up in flames at anytime

Humorous view - I didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the worlds been turning.

About governor Arnold:
Philisophical View - Just like Reagan.

Humorous view - don't even get me started...

fuck naps. now i won't get to sleep until like 6 am.

stealing from other peoples websites,
(please don't sue)

all i seem to offer up are dischords, and every note that comes out of me sounds out of key.

KEATING:
No Mr. Overstreet, it wasn't just "guys",
we weren't a Greek organization, we were
romantics. We didn't just read poetry,
we let it drip from our tongues like honey.
Spirits soared, women swooned, and gods

spend an evening eh? Thank you Mr. Perry
for this trip down amnesia lane. Burn that,
especially my picture.

**well i tried to IM the owner of the website who's site i stole that off of, but they weren't on. that gives me the automatic right to use it!

--
Now stepping back into reality....

I had ordered two Pizza Hut P'zones yesternight, and todayt hey are gone. Fucking awesome shit to eat right there.

It's not that I don't like arguing with my roomates. Arguing is good if oyu get something out of it. When you argue you should learn something about the other person. Values. But when I argue with my roomates i learn the same old thing over and over again. they don't how to argue. and whats sad is jabbar is on this debate team thing. HAHAHAHAHA. he does the same thing over and over. pin thing on me personally to get away from what we are really talking about. deflection. david just defends by simply saying the opposite of whatever i say.

can you determine just where in that last paragraph i started getting lazy with punctuation? good for you, i owe you a pizza. or a p'zone. can we share it?

i wonder where the fuck the time goes when i'm with laura. i wake up the next day with cool hair and need to move my car.

my car is dying. 1600 bucks for nothing.

I like reading random people's blogs. it exapnds on what you know. theres a saying i'd like to make up just now. "Know as much about your friends as you do your enemies, but a little more. Know more about your enemies than your friends, but a little less. Know generally about everyone and around you, but less than the person right next to you."

ok that adage got a little out of hand. i'll shorten it one day.

shit like i posted from other people's sites makes me think. i like that, i wish i could randomly tell them they rock.

how can Jeff be my best friend when he's Jabbars best friend.
its kinda like when you're in middle school and everyone has 5 best friends.

aww man i just left a turtle head int he bathroom.... that one's not to pleasant to figure out, so don't try.

know whats a wierd feeling? sleeping at 6 pm, flashes of waking up to see your phone ring on silent, your best friend try to wake you up, but leave you alone because he thought you were depressed. THEN waking up 5 minutes afterward to a dark empty house and seeing yourself in the mirror.

THATS a wierd feeling. knowing you dissed HOW many people to sleep????

why is this blog so long? thats what she said.

maybe its because i have something to say about everything.

tighty whiteys suck

ok stop.

BWAHAHAHAHA

CONTROL OF THE APARTMENT GATE OPENER AND THE SPOT IN THE BACK IS MINE!!! BWAHAHAHA

sigh* ... its the simple things that matter.
Here's a story of coincidence:

a year before i was born, my father was in business with this guy bob, at pacific aquatics, a store they owned together.
bob is in business with sommai, they bought ownership of a restuarant in north hollywood. just last week. they saved their whole lives.
sommai used to be my manager at dennys, and i once told her i was into computers, and could do anything with them.
sommai knows my father.
my father knows me.

so sommai calls my father, now my father calls me to set up the computers in this restaurant.

he doesnt know bob works there. the same guy he owned the store with more than 20 years ago and hasnt seen since.

i'm obliged to do it for free.

wierd stuff.
cleaned my room, but no laundry yet....
i think people have started to placed bets...

not much blogging.

downloaded some new punk songs. favorite new one is Left Me Spinning by Early November.

I feel like a loafer. mooching of my girlfriend and never getting anything done.
she tells me to save, to have a brighter looking future. but my wallet tells me not to look in it because its been dark since a long time in the past.

today is on fire. the sky is bleeding on me. and i am blistered.

like a bad star. i'm falling faster down to earth.

yeah i know its boring to hear people recite lyrics on their blogs. but its no better than talking about sports...
The lakers won!!!! OMG!!!!! The Timberwolves have a new player!!!!!!! OMGGG!!!!

fuck them. who cares.

its like how my roomates watch mail call all the time on the history channel, they want to learn more about the military or something so they can recite how fast an AIM missle flies in miles per hour. does that make them more manly? are they worried they'll be on a quiz show that will ask them that.
everybody has different tastes i guess

tv is evil. so is the computer, but its less evil ;P

was bummed. didnt get to go with laura to the queen mary. woulda been fun i think.
everybody had work and other plans, so only dave and jong were gonna go with. i feel funny putting them together. but they'd make a good gay couple i guess....

ok, anyway. i now know what the crimson and clover, over and over, is in Praise Chorus by Jimmy Eat World. It was a song by simon and garfunkel and later pat benetar. neat song.

random things i've learned:

prime rib at black anus is salty, fatty and overcooked.
guys always size things up
laura cant hold 1 shot

random things i did:

picked all the vegtables out of a curry at a second rate chinese restuarant with flickering lights
something about my finger
did the dishes!!!!! on my own!!!!
