and SO it rained

just kidding. i aint gonna talk about josh har-whatever his face is either

i'm here to talk to you about what i am giving up for lent. as a house, we realize we do way too much cutting down of other ppl...specifically each other...so we will give that up, and donate a dollar into a jar everytime we do that. after that, all the money will be put into buying gospel tracts and we will go out and evangelize!

i'm hoping i dont go into the red too much as i usually only cut up mike or adrian (but he's never home ne more ... its like he doesnt like his housemates *tear*)
and cutting up of mike only happens when he provokes me (like..spitting gum an inch away from me)

we're gonna be a GOOD LOVING HOUSE in fourty days...

or the other/more popular theory is we are gonna be avoiding each other as it will be hard to carry on any conversation with using the phrase "thats stupid" or "you jerk" or things of that nature. one day down, 39 to go.

oh one more thing, we've also decided to stop smoking pot.
K JUST KIDDING geez take it easy...we're not gonna stop smoking our pot...

i have once again ventured into a place where i go roughly...once a term!
a bar/pub?! no
a CLUB? no
CLASS? hahaha NO altho i seriously contemplate it sometimes, especially for chemistry
the LIBRARY... ding ding ding ding ding!

so here's my story. kccf pretty much hogs up a corner on the top floor of the library. when other ppl are there, we do slightly annoying things and they eventually leave. Then we get even more annoying as it is just kccf people. I did get some good studying done there today, about 2 hours of it. but it was SO DIFFERENT in the library. i'm so used to doing my reaction mechanisms with some type of music i can sing/hum/talk (aka me trying to rap) along to ... but at the library, i was getting a lil annoyed by the quietness... luckily i had my ipod hahaha oh funny story, remember to put your ipod on hold or else a jerk like me could easily reach over and max out your volume in a second (RIGHT MIKE?!) its okay, he got me back by pinching my arm...it hurt...but i'm guessin his ears hurt more .. sucker..!

ne ways, the only reason i was even IN the library was cuz of chinese new year. now wait a minute, i'm not being racist or anything so dont get all riled up. let me explain. see one of the TA's is chinese, and so he wanted to celebrate tonight. he ended up switching tutorial sections just for today with my ta (who is really really good and really really amusing, which makes it even better). so when me and mike realize that our ta would be in the tutorial from 6:30, rather than the 3:00 one we were currently sitting in, we upped and left, for the library.

i guess it worked out okay, other than a lack of a proper dinner (pizza slice + apple cider from timmy's). of course waiting for the right TA pays off as i'm feelin more or less confident about PARTS of the material...i still have the last few sections to go (which are gonna be killer)...and i solidified my confidence in those sections by doing most of the practice problems in the library.

all in all, a very good chinese new year.
Speaking of chinese new year
okay i've got nothing to tangent into these random jokes, so i'll just
"bring em out bring em out..."

Man who run in front of car get tired.
Man who run behind car get exhausted.
War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.

Ha...clever no?

if at any time you feel uncomfortable with the term "chinese new year", i sincerely appologize...i mean to say "lunar calender" new year...koreans celebrate it too (so i found out)..and i dont want to be insensitive to my non-existant korean readership i guess, or anyone other non-existant group of ppl that i may offend by claiming this new year to be "the chinese peoples'":P

require me to "prove" one thing or another

well i say, Proofs SUCK

its a given

hahahahaaha hahaha ha

that was mainly to amuse myself while i go about writing my chemistry lab report due tomorow, that i started a couple hours ago ... which i will now dive back into.

"i know i said it once before, but baby i'm just makin sure..."

know where thats from? its was a pretty big hit on the radio over the summer, so it shouldnt be that hard to guess

so tonight, i was again confronted with a very tough choice at hanD!
SUPERBOWL SUNDAY took place, but it also happened to be on the first sunday of the month, meaning praise and power (the "worship night" up here in k-town) also was taking place.

TO GO or not to go!!! pretty torn until i decided at halftime to just GO and forget about football for now. So i went, and it was of course a very good time of worship and seein some people i havent seen for a couple days and catching up and whatnot

so dilemma solved..! afterwards, housemate mike placed a call home to housemate derek who reported the score to be 24-14 pats with about five minutes left or sth like that...so mike, being the overreacting eagles fan was all down and "oh its over, i'm not going home"...and i started rubbing it in his face a lil cuz he was talkin a lot of smack when they were up 7-0 haha but then on my walk home, i passed by a sports bar, and noticed the score was now 24-21...with still 2 minutes to go...so i huffed and puffed the rest of the way home (the most intense workout i've had in a while mind you..yes all ... 50 seconds of that running) hahaha

PATS WIN PATS WIN ... i actually dont really care that much...but i called it all along ne ways...bring in the dynasty :)

*dynasty: a sequence of powerful leaders in the same family
OR
*dynasty: PEEEE-OWNAGE of all opponents (with stiffling defense and a well oiled machine like offense, the 10-1 record in playoffs under one coach, the winning of 3 of the 4 last championship titles in THE most level playing field sport where a year could be any given teams' year)

and bring on a helluva week...more details to follow

ADDED LATER
oh to appease to my eagerly waiting fans:

How do you divide 14 sugar cubes into 3 cups of coffee so that each
cup has an odd number of sugar cubes? (ahh, math problems...a computer scientists loves these, oh highlight below for answer...i forgot about inviso text last time)

1,1,12
BUT isnt 12 EVEN?
A: It's an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee (groan)

here's that joke you've all been waiting with EXCITEMENT for, and just cuz i'm starting to cram for this thursdays chemistry exam, and i actually forgot to copy down some questions i need to answer for my chemistry lab due tuesday so chemistry is on my mind just a LIL bit you know

if water is H2O, what is H2O4?

H2O is 4 drinking, showering, washing dishes...etc DUH why, what do you use H2O 4?

this weekend alone, i hafta make 3 choices. yes they are not the most complicated of matters, nor are they that much of an issue to me, but what would you do in my situation!?

1. Tonight (Friday) - Asian Semi-Formal is on, 12 dollars to go and dance in a packed room of asians while dressed up. all (EVERY LAST ONE) (well not adrian) have gone. of course they tried to peer pressure me into going, but anyone that knows me knows that its not my type of thing to a) dress up b) the whole "clubbing" scene
and even though that is a very good reason, i suppose i could give it a shot (it'd hafta be next year of course as this was the last one), cuz u know, u should try everything once, but that brings me to situation number two...how in the world would i wake up for

2. Chemistry Tutorial at 10am in the morning. This is almost life or death to me as one month of material has flown by me. I thought last semester's prof was terrible, but this semester...oh boy, she tries to be cooL by introducing a "molecule of the day", examples being viagra and ecstasy, but now i find out THOSE MOLECULES are on the exam as well, i guess it serves me right for not listening, but do i really need to know about the structure of viagra or ecstasy? i think i'm so screwed for this tutorial...but wait, things got compounded more with

3. Worship Practice at EIGHT am in the morning...so yeah, now you see my dilemma. On one hand i do want to go party with my friends, and it is a friday night so i should be carefree...but then where do i draw the line for irresponsibility? i know that if i had gone to asian semi, i'd be dead tired for worship practice, and then i would also be dead tired for the tutorial which i desperately need

so i drew my line where i had originally drew it...stayed at home...very nice of mel to invite me down to her apartment just to chill for a bit and watch "apples to apples" which is a fun debating game it seems...and then it was very very nice (im very thankful that God took away the hint of loneliness i was feeling...he works in such small and mysterious ways sometimes) when kwan and lincoln (guy who lives upstairs) came back cuz they decided asian semi wasnt worth the friggin 1 hour wait for a bus that never came out in the cold :)
i ended up jamming for 2 hours....and now its bed time...and yes the ppl that went to asian semi still arent back... im thinkin i made a good choice, even though i was more torn than i should've been

i'm just hopeful that ppl wont see me as some stuck up guy who wont go out of his comfort zone. i AM honestly trying... i feel like i've opened up to more ppl this year than in my whole life, and its all very overwhelming. i know i dont push myself as hard i could, and i dont necessarily take as many risks as i should, but its a growning process. i cant change overnight as much as i want to. along the same lines, im beginning to contemplate next year, as it will be my 3rd year here...what kinda role/capacity do i want to be serving the Lord (in fellowship, in church...etc) and how far will i push myself out of the box? cell group leader?worship LEADER (not just part of the team)? worship COORDINATOR? (not that i'm saying i'll get these positions, but i have been approached about the possibility of me taking on roles)

goodnight all

i came across some notes i had taken on the course i had a test for today

and of course, sth peaked my interest, or else i wouldnt be blogging about it

its another one of those paradoxes that make you think!!! here we go! prepare your mind for a journey to regions that have NEVER EVER been visited before...(the ric flair intro music that i think is like...space odessy 2001 music...starts to play in the background to signify the beginning of a journey YOU GET THE IDEA)

There are three false statements. Can you find them?
2+2=4
3+2=4
1+1=2
5+2=8
10+1=11

OOO scary huH! my test went well, and no crazy questions like that on it...simple stuff that doesnt require too much thinking...all thru the test tho, i had to go pee...which was more of a challenge (to hold it) than actually writing the test ha go figure :)
