i just got the new cd

i think if you want people to stop pirating music, movies, and games you need hackers to start attaching spyware and malware to those files. once people find out that their identities have been stolen or their hard drives are getting wiped out, people may stop downloading. and virus scanners just make you paranoid of undetected stuff. if the RIAA starts tapping into hackers to attach tracking information on those pirated music files, people will freak out. the RIAA is the new IRS.

60 and sunny = i want to longboard

nielsen adviews locks me out every sunday. i think it's their way to make people stop working on the weekends.

glamorous?

Fergie is from Hacienda Heights? whoa.

"josh doesn't want to do competitive on flowers"

and there was a good feeling today that what i do doesn't save people's lives.

i made fake personal ads w/ some friends on saturday. i said i was rich and ambitious. and i was missing an appendage.

i'm getting responses from girls that still want to meet me.

wait until they hear that i'm missing my head and that i talk out of a monitor i hold with my hands.

response to clownmanmadness' post.

i wonder if it's bad if "work" becomes your life. i think whatever you do for leisure, you can get paid for it - and i wish more people told me this growing up. if you love critiquing art, become an art buyer; people who just love God's word [or judging people] become pastors; people who love sports become The Schwab; and people who love studying law and economics on the weekend become planning commissioners. none of this nonsense asian doctor or lawyer crap. it dulls people!

so going into the office on the weekend would be like going to the arcade!

i think the problem with many kids today is that they're not encouraged to apply themselves out in the world enough. when you throw yourself out there when you're older, you're more limited to the opportunities around you and you don't have school/parents/next year's tryouts/etc to rely on when the risk doesn't pay off. yeah, there are no more try outs when you get older.

it was once suggested to me that "if it feels like work, it's not working."

but then i hear of those stories of single parents or people with disabilities who need anything that pays to get by. and then i don't know what to say. it makes me sound so selfish and irresponsible when i talk about doing whatever you want. like if my little brother came down with cancer today or i got into a car accident that was my fault, all my dreams and ambitions would probably go out the door.

but then if you think about how this life isn't ours, it starts relieving all this tension in finding out what you like and don't like and tells you how to respond to tragedies.. stupid obedience. stupid, stupid us. it doesn't make sense.

the only good thing about moving is that you always get to restart something in that new journey. i guess moving always keeps you on your toes and doesn't make you fall into complacency. complacency makes moving again very, very, very hard.

and live.com's map search is cooler than google's. all the helicopter photos are updated, angled, and this is one step closer to having a map stream in real time.

this was my favorite home:

game on.

i like yahoo!. i like spades. i like literati. i like pool and can never stop myself.

i like playing nba live and creating a superstar team. i also like setting the mode to rookie and playing the bobcats. i like it when my point guard gets a triple double: 20 points, 24 assists, and 15 steals. and we win by 100. the challenge is doing this in a twenty minute game. i can usually win by 80. 100 is really tuff. haha, this is how i game. and when i play a full season, my starting five is on the all-star team. i always lead in every category except three pointers, and my point guard always gets the mvp. it's what i call a button masher.

i'm so sad. i should have just bought those joshua davis prints. or a nice frame for my army man stick figure war picture.

who knew that the screen froze on so many people's 360's? i want to play my nba street. i'm kind of glad i'm not very good at video games. i'm also glad that i'm not ten years old. i'd be in a bad fit.

my acl and mcl will thank me for doing plyometrics.

but there wouldn't be a sense of earning it.

A fun game everyone loves to play is "what would you do if you found $1,000,000?" An even more fun follow up game is playing "what would you do if you found $100?" It's like everyone gets sad.

I'm glad I don't have allergies: mostly because I'd suffocate in this dust filled apartment. If you were an astronaut and sneezed in your suit, would the snot and gunk spray the lens of your helmet and trickle down to your body?

I think it's time to walk into a museum and put up a framed picture of my own art.

and naivety: you can't help it. you just don't know enough nor have you tested yourself enough. it's like that old spice commercial they have right now on how you can't fake "experience." i feel overwhelmed [understatement] by everything i'm learning in this industry. i see about a million ideas a day. and i feel like i'm being laughed at like, "son, one day you will get it." it's just hard to relate and be related to right now.
