I have one life on the internet, and one in real life.
It's important to keep them in check. Very quickly the two can grind up on one another - not checking emails, miscommunication with AIM chats late at night - facebook "relationship" changes.. etc.
Balancing the two can incredibly hard, stressful and just ruin anyone's day.
Lets remember what the web is for - to make life fun and easy, to make business, send love to our cuties pies and sweeties and anything else we need. In short, I think of the internet as bowl of cherries instead of sour lemons. So with that, here are some websites that can help you get on your way!
http://twitter.com/ -> connect with people like never before!
http://www.bugmenot.com/ -> can help you bypass stupid sites that make you register for everything! i use it for nytimes.com
http://oursignal.com/ -> view news in a new and interesting way
http://www.insidesocal.com/bargain/ -> help you be a savvy shopper in real life and online
enjoy and happy hunting

New camera!
okay, that maybe a few years late, but it's still a really good camera, and I bought one (body only) from B&H refurbished for 300 bucks! that's dirtty cheap for a DSLR. I'll be using that oh so familiar 50 mm f/1.8 lens.
I've only had my canon powershot sd600 so, this is a refreshing change of pace! (this is a canon family).
Hopefully, with my new baby I can more accurately document some of my crazy travels on the metro rail, the dungeons of chinatown, the restaurants of koreatown, the cozy campus of csulb, the arcades at little tokyo, arts/events from all around town too.
Only problem is, I ordered it... and it's still not here. Expected to be here dec. 17 .. and its now... dec. 14.. im just so excited!
I'm wondering what my virgin shot will be ( first picture ) .. I think it will be a picture of my friend's dad.
lots of love -

Mystery girl..
I met her... on the Green line station. I was wearing my fancy military jacket but the wind was still quite unfriendly. I looked around and saw her, standing out like a sore thumb from all the wasted lives that frequent the rail stations. She had decided to warm herself in a little corner tucked away from the wind, "Genius!" I thought. Trying to avoid any social contact I decided to try the corner on the opposite end, only to realize the wind was in my direction. After a deep breath, I walked over to her and commented on her craftiness, and joined together and joked around. We suddenly realize we're both from Torrance and I decide to offer her a ride home, with my knowledge of how cruel the transit system can be do unsuspecting patrons at late hours.
The entire car ride was just a riot, with everything laughs, as if we had been best friends since elementary school. Playing and laughing we decide to grab a bite to eat and she offers to pay for sake my giving her a ride. Sharing fries and more intricate conversations as two strangers juxtaposed in a car tend to do, I arrive at her house and let her off. At this point, I wave her goodbye, and she leaves the car.
She asks me if I have a facebook or a myspace, and to which I replied no (which was truthful at the time) and at the last minute we decided to at least take a picture together. and here it is.
I suppose I could have asked for her telephone number, or perhaps an e-mail, so that perhaps I might make sure she arrives at home safely another night, but to me, she is mystery girl..

DWP Annual Light Festival

christmas spirit...
so there I am, sitting there, enjoying star trek, (the doomsday machine eps.) when a family comes' a' banging on my door.
Who could this be I wonder?
I hurredly run to the door, shocked to find a family, who announce themselves as Christmas carolers.
They then ask for donations for their church, and upon hearing my polite No, they decide I am no longer worth caroling for and rudely leave after wasting MY TIME.
The next time "Carolers" come around, I'll just tell them to suck some dick.
