Congrats to the Chicago Bears. I thought I was happy when they beat the Seahawks, but nothing felt better than beating the Saints and going to the Superbowl. Boy I wish I were back in Chicago. What was Reggie Bush thinking by taunting and pointing at Brian Urlacher? Hopefully the Bulls and Cubs make it a great year as well.

In other news, I have a Wii ! If you need my Wii number, let me know.

I will be in NY for work late Feb. and there is a slight chance I may stop by home for a day or two.

More later.

I miss Chicago.

And suddenly, out of nowhere..

Part I:

Sometimes things don't turn out the way they are supposed to. Some things aren't meant to be. When there isn't a middle ground or a fine line to be crossed things may become overwhelmingly too much or too comfortable. I figured out that the key in MY life wasn't to balance but to endure. If you really believe in something, you endure and endure until you hit the redline and you keep going because you just want it more. I've passed that line to the point where it's become more than hazardous to myself. For myself, either in sports, life, or relationships. I don't feel like regretting, and I'm not the type to regret. I don't feel like I should be uncomfortable with my decisions to just keep going. But, if things just don't make sense anymore then there is no point and that is what I have come to learn. If this were the case in a relationship ( that the relationship is "redlining"), if one person "knows" best, the other person will usually disagree if not verbally, mentally, as a reflex. It's a clash of minds where someone will get left behind and someone is gonna have to suck it up before the war dies down. The more and more it becomes a broken record the more and more someone will just make decisions and assumptions based on the past. So basically you shouldn't keep playing the broken record, you should take it off the turntable and actually BREAK the record. Yes, the past is the only thing that we know for certain, but living your life in the past is bad. Even worse is trying to predict your future based on the past. Track records are made to be broken. Baggage sometimes gets lost, which can be a good thing, because you never wanna travel with too much baggage right? I mean Southwest has it right, they only allow you to check in 2 or 3 bags, they barely allow you to even carry baggage. On the plane you feel light because you don't the weight of all the baggage with you. traveling to a new place, limited baggage, good deal. New start. Consistancy counts, but isn't always certain. Being great or good at something before doesn't mean you will be great or good in the future. Being horrible at something now doesn't mean you will be bad in the future either. Sometimes you just want to scream as loud as you can into a pillow. You can't help it. So either can I.

Part II:

I don't like losing, and I don't like to quit. I always say the worst thing to say to me if you want to beat me in anything is that you're better than me. You should either win be respectful about it or don't win at all. In sports when I'm competing, its all about winning, if it looks like we're gonna lose then, it's still all about winning, my mind is constantly thinking, "we're gonna win, we're gonna win" The score is 13-4 in a pickup game to 15. Ok fine, we're still gonna come back and win.. ok the score is 14-4 and they are on offense, "Alright then, if they are gonna win then lets make it extremely difficult for them to get that last point" Of course, im not gonna tell you how to be after you do beat me. I remember picking up tennis one summer and being upset that I couldn't serve, I woke up at 6am for almost 3 weeks and practiced serving for almost 2-3 hours alone in the morning everyday. Or when my parents tell me I'm out of shape, a similar thing happens. I remember not liking this one kid in my 2nd grade class, and I noticed he was writing with his left hand (because he was left handed) so I remembered going home and pulling out a notebook and started writing left handed, needless to say it was horrible and I got so frustrated that I couldn't do it that the next day I found a blank notebook and wrote on the cover, left handed notebook. Every day after class for about a month I pulled it out and started writing the alphabet and my first and last name with my left hand. So I wonder now if me being in a different time zone is a product of all this or if it's really what I wanted to do, "C" Other or "D" None of the above.

Part I and a half:

There are times where I feel like I'm by myself out here. There are times where I really am by myself out here. The only thing that makes it all alright is that every night when I do close my eyes, I get to imagine what I could be, or how things CAN turn out. Possiblities and dreams are everything to a person like me. I don't have a set path, though at times I wish I did have that kind of security in my life the older and older I get, and maybe one day I will, but my security in life right now is the opportunity to believe and dream of all things possible for myself and at times others. Dashing me of those things will most likely destroy me. Luckly for me, and people like me, you can't take away the things and ideas, dreams and beliefs I have that can only be opened up when I close my eyes.

Part III:

The Backyardigans remind me of my little nieces, Listening to the theme song makes me feel better.

Part IV:

Todai in Hawaii IS better and I miss lunchplates oddly.

Part V:

I miss Chicago.

Well I'm off, this most definately is my last post while in Chicago. The past few weeks have been pretty eventful, from celebrations, to travel, to good byes. Thanks for the well wishes and thanks to everyone that helped make my 25 years here that much more special. If anyone needs me, I'll be living in California. Visitors welcome.

Spring Break summary: Basketball this past weekend... as my teammates dropped like flies, as I should have, my calves were seriously dead, but i kept playing.. (went to eat with Min on Sat. night in a rare coincidence i noticed he was wearing the same type of outfit I was.. .. .. .. aNyways, try the mango flavored chicken at bw3, it's pretty hot) ... not sure why i decided to play ball on Sunday again.. by at the end of this my calves the next day had been completely blown up, at least two inches, and extremely tight.. .. both sides. and so, i literally could not walk.. to make it short, it was really bad and borderline muscle tear if i stretched it too fast and too hard.. so I'm out of commission for about 3-4 weeks until i fully heal. :(

Monday - Thursday is a blur, watched american idol and got ice cream and heatpacks with my little cousin .. and rested the rest of the time which means i lost a few days of work that i have to make up.. and this weekend is promising to be insanely busy. . . they shouldn't even call it Spring Break anymore... should call it.. Spring.. .. something else.

Anyways, whats your favorite and least favorite starburst colors... my fav is red my least fav is yellow.

and

if anyone knows this, I really need to know.. peachie o's i know they exist.. but, i swear there are sour peachie o's from the same company that makes sour apple o's .... seriously..

more pointless thoughts to come.. don't you all worry.

I have Villanova going all the way by the way.. and the Shockers getting into the round of 16 in the tourney... don't know who the Shockers are? you will.

My little niece sure knows how to eat birthday cake..

Where? What? How? and.. What?

What a crazy intense schedule I have all of a sudden, sorry anyone who I haven't hung out with or even communicated with lately. Yes, I am still alive. Can anyone believe that it's already Feb? Sorry I keep repeating it, but it's just that I didn't realize. At this rate next time I check, it will be Summer..... I've been feeling orange lately,

I know I gave it up sometime last year but.. yeah.. (the color orange that is)

Speaking of which... color association? whats the first thing that comes to mind when you see these colors 1. red 2. blue 3. yellow 4. black ... and was it a visual association? or something that you've just grown accustomed to over the years? mood association? or idea? It would be interesting to see what the similarities and differences are between different peoples responses... OR no one responds at all !! haha..

fyi: got a new tennis racquet.. Head Flexpoint Radical Tour with Luxilon BIG BANGER! string... and trying to look cool while having it..(see top left for ridiculous picture) ... right now I pretend to play in my basement due to the random snow that likes to come down from day to day.. BUT I am training... more and more everyday~ Peter if you ever read this.. which you will because i'm going to show you .. haha .. you are going down in straight sets...

Have a nice day.

All of a sudden it's February and we're a little over 1/12th into 2006.

Quick story: I was at the gas station the other day and pulled in and swiped my credit card..and noticed an old dirty hispanic man glaring at me from inside while I was getting gas. After I was done the old dirty hispanic man with aviator sunglasses and a grey moustache walks out and yells at me. "HEY Pay for your gas!! .. What.. you think you can just take my gas and drive off kid!!" So, i kinda stare at him for a good 10 seconds and I walk up to him and ask him politely, "What are you talking about?" First of all the guy doesn't even work there. So I walk into the gas station and look at the guy at the counter.... and so the old man goes... "Look at this kid, trying to drive off and take my gas..." The guy at the counter says to me, "Sorry he pre-paid earlier.." So.. I'm like.. " ........ mmMm ok?" So apparently, the guy is parked in a parking spot. Ultimately, I then make a statement for everyone in the gas station to hear out of my own utter disbelief..."So old man, you mean to tell me.. that you pre-paid for gas before you decided to park your car at the specific station.. saw me park my car there, decided to get some coffee, glare at me while I get gas at the station that YOU pre-paid for... waited TILL I was done, and THEN you got mad at me and decided to come out and yell at me?" - Cashier then says.. "You swiped your card right?" Me - "Yes" Old man walks out..... Cashier says "Thanks... that was his fault." The 6 or 7 people in there that witnessed this all bust out laughing... old man looks in and see us laughing at him... he gets his gas with a scowl on his face gets in his car and drives off... as Marcus would say what a "L O S E R~ " Holding an "L" up to his forehead.

-Ok it wasn't a quick story.

A Composite sketch of the old man.

So Min and I got our asses handed to us in Basketball last week by 2 like.. 40 year old white dudes. But it was alright... after losing the first game.. we played 3 more... and ended up losing those as well.

One thing that might have factored in was the fact that Min was eating cupcakes and muffins while sitting outside the gym doors as seen here.

Or maybe we're just old now. How sad.
