Whatever   does not kill me, makes me sleepy

- Me

Never get angry. Never make a threat. Reason with people.


- Mario Puzo, 'TheGodfather'




Since this website is dedicated to me and me and me and… well, it is only natural that there will be more pages titled "Me" :)

OLD NEWS COLUMN

circa spring 2002

Right now I am living in a house in San Luis Obispo with 5 other guys. I can be considered the supreme master of the house (although my roommate's parents own it) cause 3 out of the 5 people go speechless when they see me. One of them actually needs his dad to do the talking.

You must have taken great pains, sir; you could not naturally been so very stupid.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

The house though, is freaking awesome. 2700 square feet, 4 bedrooms and everything a nice house should have. Did I mention it's brand new? Basically all my friends that have visited me said: "Wow!!!" and after they got their breath back: "I want to live here!!!".

NEW NEWS COLUMN

circa fall 2003

Right now I am living in a house in San Luis Obispo with 3 other guys and at times two girls. In case you are wondering about the decrease in numbers, that's because I am living in a new house, since yet again I found out that friends are a rare commodity. See Friends section for more info. This new house is half the size of the previous one, but somehow easier to move around in, may be that's because everyone is talking to me.

The place also got better after the neighbors next door moved and may be, just may be... we helped that happen =D

This be my car, 1999 VW Golf.
Specs:
2.0L 4-cylinder 115bhp, 122lb-ft
4-door w/infinitely large interior (not all my friends fit in there, but the furniture does)
Candy White (I hope you could guess it from the pic)

Eventually I want to get new rims, tweak suspension, get the wide body body kit from Neuspeed as well as a front end from Jetta (looks AWESOME!), white clear lights in a back and Neuspeed's supercharging kit. Anyone wants to sponsor me on that?!

The car is still the same VW Golf that thinks its a mix of a Formula 1 race car and U-haul truck. The color is still errr... white, at 50/50 it is. And there don't seem to be too many new dents on it either.

The dreams of upgrading the engine with a supercharger and all new suspension bits are still there, so if you can spot me 7 grand for the parts, I will pay for the labor and even buy new tires myself!!!!

P.S. The supercharger dropped $500 in price!!! 

As you might have figured out by now, I like cars. Car shows are a good place to be in my book of life. Regular auto shows area good, I've been to at least one just about every year in the past 8 years. In the past 2 years I've also been going to import car shows, been to 6 or 7 so far. It can be pretty crazy there and crazy does not apply only to cars. There are some VERY crazy cars as well as very nicely done ones.   

Attending car shows has been put more or less on hold, cause for some reason most of them happen either 3000 miles away or on days when I am recovering from other extra-curricular activities. Either way, the next one that happens in Cali, I am attending, school be damned. 

A little personality profile.

Unlike what some people believe, I am not a very mean person. I am actually pretty damn nice, like a hungry Siberian Tiger actually... j/k Nah it is pretty infrequent for me to be running around with a baseball bat. I am not a very patient person, but I can tolerate a high degree of stupidity, after living in our house this year I am even surprised how tolerant I am. But then I am also surprised how stupid people can be...

A little personality profile as times change

I am still not mean and I am still easily annoyed. I learned that while my tolerance for stupidity has grown, I am still not ready for how low people can go... see my Rants for that one.

Swinging baseball bats still doesn't happen too often, too much laundry to do afterwards

An unrelated topic... 

...basically I have an issue with trust. I have faith in people, but I do not trust one single person. It is not that I do not believe people, I expect people to do the right thing, to be honest, not to screw me over. But if they do, I do not get surprised, it is just one of the possible outcomes I always assume possible. I do not want it to sound like I have no faith in my friends, that's not true. I believe my friends will be there for me, but I do not expect them to always behave the way they should. Shit happens, and the way I see it, I always have to account for it.

Still an unrelated topic...

...do you wonder if I still lack trust in people? Well, in a way I am getting accustomed to the fact that people will go nuts for no reason, in fact, I trust that they will. Overall I trust you people to be as imperfect as ever, just like me.

 

I know some people that think that I never get angry... well, I do, not often, but I do. And in case you have an urge to find out, I advise you refrain from doing so. It takes too long to get me pissed and I do not give any warning before blowing up. Just think of it as getting in the eye of the storm, it gets all quiet before tearing you apart.

On the positive note, me getting mad is the last thing you should concern yourself with. Cause we all just want to get along, right?

As far as anger management goes it is doing much better than my annoyance management. I've gotten really angry only twice since last update all of 18 months ago. It seems that to anger me, you actually have to be my friend (or have me believe you are one) and then do something way out of the ordinary.... like you know BACK STAB me. Other than that, the only way to piss me off is to drink all the milk in the fridge and not tell me that before breakfast!!!
