This is cool |
Now I don't think anyone will really care about this, and really the only person that would doesn't read this livejournal, but this random terrain generation is so hot:
That is all calculus baby and all random, give it up for Bezier Curves.

Holy Shit |
Today was the most insanely awesome night of my life by far. I went to Nada Surf for the second night, this time at Glass House in Pomona, and after they were done playing JD and I went to go chill by the merchant counter. Behold, North 6th Street is there, so I snag me a copy. After a while we saw some roadies that were at last nights show. Finally Matt came out and was saying hi to people and what not so naturally JD and I said hi but he had a lot of people around so couldn't chat. Them Ira came out, the really hot drummer, and we talked with him for a long time, especially about the Pixies and their cover and how cool that was. The best part was when we met Daniel though because Daniel chilled and talked to us for about a half an hour and we talked about all kinds of stuff and I could totally relate because I lived in France and I told him how much I love La Pour Ca which apparently he had written as well as Icebox, which he had also written. Then we started discussing the lyrical value of some other songs as well as Matts relationship with Mother's Day (the song) we then starting talking about Europe and european society vs america and how he likes touring here but hates living here. It was totally mellow and he was totally geniune and an awesome person to talk to. He said they would play La Pour Ca tomorrow and I am way stoked. And there was just too much cool shit to write about so aside from the fact I met every member of my favorite band of the past eight years or so, I am way way way happy, so I leave you with this:

I have not slept in 5 days. I really don't know if I am going to sleep again. I'm starting to get really really tired.
Have you ever just wanted to completely void every memory you have of someone?
I do. |

Fun Fun |
| No prolific post today, sorry. But I got a new cell phone and some T-Mobileness it's so fun. I was at the beach all day and on IM at the same time it was so much fun. I love Pat's parents too his dad was gracious enough to donate me a laptop which I will install Linux on and use as my new programming machine which I want to learn OpenGL on. Other than that I think I've been coding around 14 hours a day which hasn't really improved my topcoding any. Well I take that back actually I've been getting pretty good. Summer made a complete turn around from the first few weeks thankfully. I'm just kicking it now. Just need a female companion, platonic or not, those seem to help me more. Anyway I'm going to watch NARC and probably be up til around 2 then wake my ass out of bed and wander into work and program 10 hours thus. Sweet. Did I mention I love it. |

Life |
| You know what was cool about Ttotto. He had this philosophy that life was never going to be that great and he wasn't going to be rich and successful and all that other shit that society makes us feel like we have to live up to. So knowing all this Ttotto just kind of said fuck it and lived everyday as if it were his last and he did everything as if he wouldn't do it again. And he just made the best out of everything and there are so very few people that can do that. But in so many ways he is right because there is so much more to life than what society thinks there is. |

You know what... |
| I like not being extremely intelligent. I like how I am and am rather content with what I do. I wouldn't have it any other way. Now if I could go back and change things in my life, well of course I would. Who wouldn't? But If I could go back and change things in my life, what would I really change. I don't think I would want to change them because I might not have turned out like I have. There is one thing I would change though and I always say I would change this: I would have friggen gone out with Ashleigh Mills back when she loved me. She was my best friend back and the day and we probably still would be. I think that is the extent of my life changing I would do. I can honestly say that too. Without seeing how I would have turned out otherwise. But knowing now and I think in 10 years or whatever I will feel the same way. I guess I enjoy making mistakes and being wrong because then I can be wrong and I can make mistakes. If that makes sense. I know people who are too afraid to make mistakes or whatever their reasons are. I don't know what I'm trying to get at here. It's as Ttotto chris always said though: I don't regret what I did, just what I didn't (which is a quote from someone else (I do not regret that which I have done, but that which I did not do)). It's as Yoda says too, Try not.. do or do not.. there is no try. So true, either you're going to do it right or you're not. Either you're going to fuck up or you're not. Bottom line we make mistakes we learn from them sometimes we have to make them a few times then we learn from them, but at the end of the day I'm happy because I had to learn from at least one mistake because I sure make a shitload and I'm glad I do. |

Christmas like everyone else |
| So I might as well update this thing, especially being as my christmas finally has kicked ass after so many years of waiting. It was a blast needless to say. All my favorite family more or less. We went over to Ttantta's and Otto's and my dad cooked up this nice 19 pound prime rib. Goddamn it was good. I sat next to Michel. This was a mistake though because Michel and I sort of polished off about 2 1.5 liter bottles of wine. We weren't paying much attention to our intake. My dad warned me, but eh, oh well, right. Well after a great night of being mostly plastered... although I was still able to tell hilarious stories of my times in the Basque Country, and also when we were a kids. They were stories about Aitatxi. They were great. Michel continued to generously supply me with wine throughout the night. I was suddenly quite aware at 4:30 this morning why I don't do this sort of thing often. After a few visits to Dr. Toilet I got everything out of my system and went back to bed... only to wake at about 8:30 rather hung over. After taking the rap from all my relatives downstairs... which was quite great by the way... we finally got to opening gifts. I swear, my dad's gifts for me get better each year. This year he got me a suit! Yes, a really nice suit! Which fit perfectly. It is so nice, I'm one classy chap, what can I say ;-) I also got all the accessories to go with it... wallet, money clip, tie clip, belts. I also got three DVDs. My little sister got my Forrest Gump, how great is that. My older sister got me this great travels mug she put together with all these pictures from our childhood. There is the great picture of me decked out in my ninja turtle's outfit and skateboard (Diana, curb the turtle jokes ;-)). She also got me a weezer tshirt :-D. My aunt and uncle, grandpa, grandma, and stepmom's mom got me some cash. My step mom's brother got me two more dvds: A Beautiful Mind, and Episode II. So after just lounging around and sporting a little Gump this afternoon I called Bananna and chatted with her a bit to make sure her christmas was as killer as mine. I then was forced away from our conversation and to dinner... where I sat next to Michel again. However, Michel, who apparently had more to drink than me the previous night, was not much in the mood for more wine. We held off this evening, save I had to have some with my cheese. Yeah it was funny though because on Christmas Eve I kept slipping into basque... weirdest thing. I called my dad Aita. Definitely a first. Anywho. I watched 10 things I hate about you with my little sis when I got hom and am now just typing away. I think my sisters are taking me clothes shopping tomorrow because they say I need to bad. Hmm... what is wrong with one pair of jeans...? I am gonna get myself some nice PJ bottoms from the Gap though. Don't think I've ever got anything from the Gap before. Aside from that, I'm just looking forward to New Year's Eve. |

Oh so much better |
I had more or less forgotten what a great American holiday felt like. I wasn't here for the last Turkey Day and this was by far one of the greatest. It is kind of nice because it is the first time in a long while where we no longer have to worry about which parent's house we are going to and when. I was just able to come to my dad's and am able to relax without worrying much and am just enjoying myself.
I had actually hated holidays for the longest time because of this and to this day am still not a fan of christmas. I hope that this year's christmas will perhaps revive the near nonsubsistant christmas spirit in me.
I haven't much to say aside from that, besides that which I would rather keep to myself because I feel for once that what I think actually should stay with me and me only. So I am going about analysing these few lines from this song. I made it into a bookmark (a really bad one, just printed and folded) so that I can take a break from reading and think about something else. Something I enjoy thinking about a lot, and something I am trying to understand as best I can.
So if you are wondering what I am doing. I am thinking. |

Good time |
So today Jon, Ashley and Myself cranked out last minute stuff on yearbook in an attempt to ship a little early. We almost finished got it to the post office and everything, but missed by only a half hour. I went through all the babies spreads and made sure they were perfect. I fixed a punch of little errors that will save us time and money in the long run. I think the book is kicking some serious ass.
Secondly, driving home with Baker is the coolest thing, I'm so glad I am friends with her. We have cool conversations. Things spread about me in yearbook that I actually didn't start. Not sure what that means but oh well. Life goes on.
T'is all... I dressed up tonight. In my math tie and black pants and a white shirt. We're going to see Harry Potter I think, still no call from Willy though... like he said. He's not home either. Hm, odd. Oh well.
Later. |

I just saw The Ring. I didn't think it was scary. I am generally freaked out by scary movies; however, this one did not freak me out. It had about 50 potential endings, that always annoys me. So whatever, I didn't really care for the movie, but you may like it. I got to see it with Alanna though, which was cool. She just spontaneously calls and invites me out to a movie. This definately made my week, especially after inumerable hours with the chilling sound of my doom. We played ping pong and nintendo. How many girls play nintendo? It was fun.
Other than that, I think I might go shoot some people at Maxtor Corp and hang their bodies in the lawn in front of Adaptec Corp or something. RAID array just pisses me off. I am actually thankful for the pleasant Iranian techie I got at Adaptec, he was cool. Apparently two of the drives are bad in the array and should be replaced. I will attempt to do that but Maxtor is always reluctant to replace drives. It bugs me though that one of the drives was replaced last month, wtf.
I'm sure no one cares about the annoying RAID unit though. Another thing I am trying to figure out is network latency. I think PageMaker is sucking up server resources... a server well beyond it's prime. Not sure though. Bought a new printer, don't know if this will do anything either. So I think I have around 2500 at disposal for repairs. I summoned the assistance of many techies to no avail. I am debating just ordering a server with built in RAID from Dell who will do onsite in case of an emergency, which means I won't miss two days of class straight.
I missed calling my dad on his birthday because of that damned machine, no excuse though. As you all can tell I am ready to just torch this RAID unit and the server. So anyway, I'm burnt on yearbook, glad for the three day weekend. College buds, give me a ring, we'll hang.
Other than that... nada really. Just plugging away, keeping to myself mostly. Been talking with Matt Rocklin a lot lately, he's hooking me up with some good stuff, mostly Math computer science related. Now can we aquire enough energy to make our plasma craft? We must deduce this so we can show up Nick's infamous plasma speaker. Next semester I'll be taking two identical math courses, oh joy. I'm trying to think of other stuff to write but there isn't anything really. I'm studying some Discrete math and vector calc if anyone cares to know. Trying to learn as much multivariable stuff as I can. I busted a little Tenebrae quake and was impressed with the programming. Matt mentioned a 3d shadow engine. I do not know where to begin... so I will not attempt such a puzzle. Rocky is having me test some software, a quick few hundred I could really use.
I'm tired, that's enough for now, I forgot how good it feels to type in this thing. |

Homecoming Game |
| The game was uneventful; however, the half-time show was good times. I left with Willy but he soon ditched me to be anti-social at home. I thusly hooked up with Emilee B. whereupon we hit up In-n-Out with the crew (but we grabbed some JC Beans before). On the way home she noticed I lived right next to Forster, my insanely awesome Comp Sci teacher.. and my idol pretty much. So we left a note on his car saying: Hey Forster, We Stalk You. Love Always, Joey + Emilee. This made my entire year. Emilee rocks. |

I finally have managed to get rid of the incessant hunger I was having all day. I stayed home tonight, just like I did Friday night. I wanted to go out tonight but apparently everyone had their own thing going on.
I actually watched TV today. There is some pretty weird stuff on. I didn't hear of this sniper guy though. Misti told me about him. I am pretty ignorant to the world. I prefer my world though. All these great things that only I understand.
I watched battle bots. This put me back in my robot mood. I shocked myself twice yesterday. Ho hum. I was rebuilding a power supply and inadvertently shorted the switch to turn it on which blew the fuse because i was touching the unit. That was a nice 250 up the arm.
I finished my computer science project which uses Dijkstra's algorithm yesterday. I think I may have done it in a fairly inefficient manner, but that's okay. I need to go clean up the code, as in my opinion it is very sloppy. I have started mys second project. Despite I'm not sure what it will be on I think I will write my chemical equation balancer. I could write a nice matrix and fraction class in c++. I wrote the fraction class today, but I was having trouble with the binary operators and kept getting compiler errors. I gave up and went with a non operator solution (e.g. add(), sub() in stead of +, -). So I should have fun writing that. I dig my comp sci class. I think Forster is pretty awesome and he's really turning me on to UCI. Comp Sci major with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Computation theory / Algorithms... very enticing.
I'll be studying for calc and working on comp sci all day tomorrow. I gave Rocky an email in an attempt to cajole him into giving me some money for homecoming. He probably will, he's an awesome guy.
I got an email from my friend Miren in the Basque country. It was rather enthusiastic. I miss my mum. My homecoming date rocks all yours! |
