Our Backpacking Trips

so i was browsing through the pasadena scpa humane society website last night. EVERYONE knows i want a pet: a dog, a cat, a wabbit, an elephant, a polar bear… ect, the list goes on. i had my sights set on this foster homed dog named napoleon, but when i looked him up again on the petco adoption website he was already unlisted. so i’m assuming he found a home already, the first time i saw him was last summer, so its almost been a year. i’m not going to contribute to the “puppy mills” that feeds into the local pet shops. those mills are HORRIBLE. yesterday after class, me and my headed over to home depot to buy a washer (since ours is completely dead). we were stopped at a red light when this little dog started to cross the road. he was in the middle of crossing the road when the light turned green. he was right in front of the mini van next to my car, the stupid bitch mini van honked at the little dog THEN RAN HIM OVER. oh my fucking god, i started yelling in my car and scared the living daylights outta my dad, he thought a person got ran over but didnt see anyone around. after the mini van went over the dog, the dog wasnt dead… he was alive!! his front legs were injured and couldnt get up. so he was stuck in the intersection unable to get to the side walk. i told my dad to stop the car so i can rescue the dog!! but he said i’m crazy, i’m gonna get hit by a car in the process of rescuing an injured dog. this happened on hacienda bl right before the 60e fwy entrance around 2pm in the afternoon, so there are a lot of cars. this incident left me so sad and depressed, poor dog. after we bought the washer… on the way back home, as we passed where the accident happened… i see a lifeless body. at least the poor dog isnt suffering. later that night… i went to the gym, same direction, same street. i see the lifeless body. but it doesnt look like a body anymore, it looks like a mass of bloody fur. this morning on the way to school… it was just a mass of smashed fur on the road. what makes all this even worse, is that i saw a collar on the little dog… HE WAS ONCE SOMEONES PET! *sigh*

i’ve always wanted to adopt a dog… always. so last night as i was browsing through listings of adoptable dogs, i found him:

 ISNT HE THE NERDIEST DOG EVA?!i want to save him from the doggie death chamber. i want to give him a home. i want to love him. i want to take him on jogs around my neighborhood. i want to take him camping and backpacking. i want to watch tv with him on my lap. i want to feed him doggie tweats. i want to snuggle with him. i want to smell him. i want to teach him how to “shake”, “sit”, and “stay”. i want to take him to petco/petsmart and other pet friendly places. i want him to become friends with bailey and kala. i want to sleep with him sleeping on the foot of my bed. i want to come home after a long day of work and have him greet me at the door. i want him to be my little doggie friend. i want to give him a permanent loving home.

anyways… i showed my dad this picture and he agrees that this is a cute dog. i jotted down his doggie id number and the pasadena scpa number and i’m planning on giving them a call once i get out of this class. i dont think my dad wants a dog right now right now, since our yard is not ready and he is not a fan of small dogs. my dad only likes monster cow-dogs. dont get me wrong… i like monster cow-dogs too. but i am totally in love with Killer or Emo (the possible names i will name him). if i dont get this dog my dad will never get the yard ready, so i think if i bring the dog home this weekend it’ll be like a little push for my dad to get going on the yard revamp. besides… how can you get pissed at a dog like Killer (or Emo).

oh my god, took me two days to figure out how to post pictures on word press thingy, i am so dumb

If x + y = 8z, then which of the following represents the average (arithmetic mean) of x,y, and z, in terms of z?

(A) 2z + 1

(B) 3z

(C) 5z

(D) z/3

(E) (3z) / 2

Doh!  This seemingly easy question stumped me and took me way more than the alloted 2 minutes to figure out.

how cute is this little guy?

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.  

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:

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?
