so here i am. 10′ o’clock in the morning. sitting here in my “dance in contemporary culture” class. bored to shit outta my mind, just so happens next to me sits two bimbos yuppies. my professor in this class is such an artist a retard, she passed the list of students and had the students take roll for each other. so we’re sitting in a giant circle, one person calls out a name then pass the list off to the next person. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!! or maybe i’m just pissed because i know someone is gonna butcher my name. why am i taking this class you ask? what do i have to do with dance? NOTHING!! cal poly is forcing me to take this class, if i dont i cant graduate. it was either this or asian american studies or latin history or some other really bullshit weird class. at least this class has NO EXAMS, yea… no exams = bullshit. the first thing that came to mind when i registered for this class was:


squidward and his interpretive dance

maybe i’m too much of numbers person, i totally dont get it. right now we’re doing this thing where she pulled out all the students that wore watches today (thank god i didnt wear a watch) and had them put themselves into alpha order by first names. then asked the students sitting down some other questions then someone else suggested that they can order themselves by last names and in reverse alpha order. after that was done… she went on and said how that was “art”. thank god there arent any exams in this class or i would TOTALLY FAIL.

i am sitting here totally restless sitting here! not because its not interesting in here… its because I MISSED A CALL!!! not just any call. i missed Miles Bernald’s and who is this Miles guy you ask? he is the HR recruiter for Lisi Aerospace. I emailed him my resume and coverletter for a Junior Cost Accounting position yesterday and he emailed me back RIGHT AWAY. his email asked that i call him. i was, i was gonna call him today after i get out of class but he beat me to it. he called me today at 8:30!! we talked for about 20 mins. he likes me. but he needs someone with costing experience right away and they dont want a part time. but he wants to do something for me because he “likes” me. he just called me back like 30 mins ago and i couldnt answer it. i’m stuck in a corner in class. i cannot stand being broke unemployed any longer!

unlike acromil, Lisi is a HUGE aerospace company, they are global and are publically traded on the stock market. this is a GREAT opportunity to get my foot into the cost accounting world for me to find stable work. oh geez, i’m dying to get out of here and give Miles a call back. god dammit!!

hi, my name is michael, and i’m addicted to pixel junk monsters.  

pixel junk monsters

oh, and i love hate this game.  it drives me nuts! i’m ready to pull my hair out!  why do i keep playing it?  because it’s like crack (except you have dancing villagers and oh so annoying flying what-cha-ma-call-it thingys).  the game looks innocent enough.  i mean, how can you get angry at such a cute monster:

cute snaily thiny

 

If you see this guy on the street.  avoid at all costs!  he will stomp on you and munch on you!  he did that to my villagers!  i had a perfect game going (on a level i must have tried over 15 times on) until he couldn’t be stopped by my six seven mortar guns!  you would think a “snail” would move slow.. but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he danced his way through my six seven mortar guns.  who does he think he is?  jackie chen?

argh!  i am soooooo mad!  anyway, i need to get my fix.. who wants in?

call me noob but… THIS IS SO COOL! i have no idea what a wordpress blog is but i guess now i do? from now on i think i’m going to quit blogging in my myspace blog, even though i already have like over 350 posts on there. this is def better… myspace is sooo 2005 and its frowned upon in the n3rd community to even mention the word “myspace”.

its a bit nippy to head out for some backpacking action… imo. according to johnny mountain its supposed to rain weds, thursday, and next monday and tuesday. this gives me the perfect op to milk my season pass at bear mountain!

i am totally down for death valley. i can carry 10 gallons of water, bailey (aka bdawg) the beagle can strap on another 5 gallons of water… i think that should be enough? if not i’ll just drink mo’s or michael’s water. i know i have a 3 day weekend some time durning this spring qtr but i’m not sure exactly when. i cant wait to dust off my backpacking gear!! not to mention test out my solar charger that i bought last season but never had the chance to use.

another good backpacking location is: GRAND CANYON!!! um hello?!?!?!

Yes, I know!  You’re thinking to yourself.. just what the world needs.. another wordpress blog.  Well boo-hoo. 

Whateva!

I know we haven’t been backpacking in a long time recently, but summer is quickly approaching and we just *might* be able to squeeze in a few trips.  Plus this gives me us a chance to get back in shape.  I know Mo wants to go in April, but perhaps we can wait until after my GMAT?  Pretty please?

 

  • You won’t freeze and die a horrible death.
  • It’s too rushed to plan a trip in April.
  • It will be summer-time and we’ll all feel more relaxed.
  • We can ALL go.
  • Did I mention we can ALL go if we schedule it at a later date?
Death Valley does look like a nice trip, though I’m not looking forward to carrying 50 gallons of water on my back.

I’ll do some more research on possible trip locations.
