I got this from a friend and a bunch of them made me laugh so I though I'd go ahead and re-post it. It's a list of 39 fun and somewhat true phrases.
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.
3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.
4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.
12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.
18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
25. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.
26. If you had to identify, in 1 word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, & never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
27. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
29. You should not confuse your career with your life.
30. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
31. Never lick a steak knife.
32. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
33. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
35. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
36. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
37. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
38. Your friends love you anyway.
39. Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

School starts again...welcome to Spring 2006
Oh yeah...I suck. I can't seem to find the time, or don't feel like writing blogs. Either that or I write them for other places but they don't really apply to my personal blog. I've been spending a lot more time working on the WhaddupNow.com website and things related to it.
So...lets see here. What have I been doing. Well, after school got out I went to a few more raves. Maybe if I feel giddy I'll go back and write some posts about them. I went to Identity (which was a super hero based rave), Nightmare B4 X-Mas (themed after the movie), Together as One (super sick New Years massive), and lastly Reset 2006 (I don't know really what the theme was...probably gaming themed but it rocked none the less!). It's been fun, the raves are fun as heck, the people are cool, the music is awesome, and the vibe is insane. Pure fun!
School starts tomorrow, so that will be both cool and not so cool. It won't be cool because I was unable to get any of my classes during early and late registration for one reason or another. This means that I will be begging each teacher to allow me to sign up for a class and for 2 weeks I'll be in limbo. The cool part is that my fraternity will be starting back up and getting active again. This rocks because that means I will ALWAYS have something to do Thursday nights. I don't really know what's going to happen with the rave scene once things start back up. I've got a lot of obligations this semester, so I hope to make 2 a month, but trying to make every weekend, though fun, would be costly and might leave me with no personal downtime. /shrug
I'm also hoping to get a job this semester. I know I've talked about it previous semesters, but I think I really need to get one and hold something. My resume looks weak, and people don't really like seeing family business related work on my resume. Besides that fact, I would like to do it for the experience and to get some dinero built back up in my accounts. The fraternity and raving isn't as cheap as I thought it would be, so to have a supplemental income to cover the unknown excess would be kewl.
I've also been pondering the girl situation. I've talked with Jason a bit about it trying to figure things out. I don't know really what I'm going to do, and even if I do I'm not going to spill it here on the internet. :p Since I'm a full blown Delta Chi, and this will be my first semester active, things will be different from before. I'm no longer an Associate Member, so I don't have to worry so much about doing dumb things that get me noticed. It should be chill.
Well, I think that about taps me out for the time being. Hope everyone out there in cyberspace is doing well. "I'll catch you on the flip side." - Rocco in Boondock Saints

Merry Christmas 2005!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope that your Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, is filled with love, joy, happiness, and fun!
Today has been a great day, the only complaint is that someone is missing, but that will change next year!

*sigh*
Well...it's almost been a month since I last posted Party and Delta Chi Xi Class Car Wash. I was hoping to keep a more active blog, but things got busy and the blogs I should have posted here I ended up posting over on other sites. I guess mainly because they were better suited over there and I wanted to post more personal ones here.
Just in case you're curious what those sites are, you'll find them listed under my links section on this blog. My Rave / Party scene stuff is on http://www.WhaddupNow.com, that's where most of my recent effort has been. I still need to add more Delta Chi stuff to this space, and will back-write soon. If you care, and are interested in what I've been doing, look below / before this post but don't go further back then November 13th since I'll be filling in stuff between now and then.
Some important things as of today...
1. 10 days till I'm done with school
2. 16 days till I'm a Delta Chi
3. 26 days till Together as One
If you're interested in Together as One (TAO) You can get tickets via Groove Tickets, or VIP tickets here.

Party and Delta Chi Xi Class Car Wash
Two days ago (practically yesterday) Juan invited a few guys over to hang out and party since his roommates had split for the weekend to Vegas. I finally managed to get there around 12:00 AM and saw Juan, Marco, Ryan, Eric "Tweety," Gaston, and Patrick. It looked like there had been some serious beer pong tournaments before I got there as they had already set up a win / loss bracket. Any who, beer pong continued through the night while others played FIFA Soccer on the PS2. Finally Eric had to head home and since I was the only one there that could drive, and had a car, I took him home.
When I got back Jorge and Kevin were there and Ryan was not. Eventually Patrick and Jorge wanted to go to the Dorms to hang out with some girls, and being the nice guy I am, I took them to the dorms. I chilled for a bit and said hello to everyone there until they decided to leave for the Delta Chi house to watch Sponge Bob the movie. Not wanting to leave my Xi Class members I headed back to Juan's house. Once back at the house we started watching the movie "Saw."
I think it was darn close to 4:00 AM by the time that we finished the movie and Marco went home. At this time Juan, Kevin, and I decided to try to get what sleep we could before our Xi Class Car Wash in four hours. Kevin went to sleep pretty fast on the couch, but it took me until 5:00 AM just to feel like I could sleep, eventually I probably went to sleep around 6:00 AM.
At 7:00 AM my cell phone, Kevin's cell phone, and Juan's alarm clock spatted off and woke Kevin and I up. Eventually around 7:20 AM we started to motivate and I went to see if Juan was up. After all of us were done being pissed we had to wake up so early we finally got out of the house and headed to our cars. When we got there Kevin and I saw that we had been cited for towing. Knowing that if a tow truck came by and saw the citation they could tow the cars we both jumped in and headed for the car wash.
We got to the car wash around 8:00 AM and immediately started in on washing Jessica's (Alejandro's girl) car. Eventually around 8:30 AM I headed off with Gus to try and flag people down and let them know about the car wash. For three, count them 3 hours Gus and I whored ourselves out trying to get people to come to the car wash. We waved, we hollered, we announced the car wash, and we had fun! Armando was also holding a sign that showed them where the car wash was exactly at, and if we got too many cars I would take over his sign and he would go wash cars to try to get them done faster. All in all it was a great time, I had fun, I got sunburned...good times all around. :p
Towards the end around 11:30 AM when Gus and I had walked over to help finish washing cars, the owner of the 76 station wondered what was going on, why we were doing this, and who gave us permission to do it. After some discussion we were asked to shut down the car wash. We finished up the last few cars and gave the 76 station owner wife's car a free car wash. We cleaned everything up and talked with him one last time about what to do next time. We now know who the owner is, so we can go directly to him from now on.
At this time I had to go so I could make the last part of the Calvary Chapel Men's Conference with my dad, so I said my goodbyes and headed out.

Jump 4 Kids
Ok, well, I'm late in writing this as it actually took place November 1st, 2005, but hey better late then never.
So it was 11:00 AM and I was getting ready to go take a shower knowing that Jump 4 Kids was going to happen between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM so I figured that leaving at 11:40 AM and getting there around 11:55 AM would be fine. Well...plan's don't go always as planned. I screwed around checking my mail and lost track of time. I hopped in the shower and got done, but when I looked at the clock after I got out, I realised that something was wrong...it was 11:40 AM. I rushed to get my daily prep done and got out the door as soon as I could.
I finally got to the event at 12:10 PM and immediately started taking pictures of everyone. I don't think anyone minded, but I still felt bad. Any who, I continued taking pictures and movie clips of everyone and got some good shots. I believe I heard that we were able to raise $800 for the Boys and Girls club close towards the end when I had to go to class.
All in all it was a fun event. I was impressed by how long some of the guys were able to jump for. I did it for 5 minutes and had enough, then again I did have two charlie horses in both legs from the other day's activities, but hey, whatever. :P

Halloween Party / Pack-a-Box / Monster Massive
Well the Delta Chi Fraternity had it's annual Halloween Party costume bash. I gotta say, I...HAD...FUN!
The party started at 10:00 PM however I was parking the actives cars until 11:00 PM. At that time, once I knew I was off the hook and no more cars needed to be parked, I drank some of my "Vanilla Coke." Some friends came by upstairs so I offered them some of my coke too, needless to say, it hits hard. :D ;)
Not too long later one of my friends pulled me into his room along with 2 others from my class for good old Captain Morgan shots. I took it and tried to find something to chase it with, but alas there was nothing nearby to use. I walked over to the bar room to find something to chase the terrible turpentine taste when a beer is thrust into my hand and I'm informed that the beer needed to be drank before he got back from his room. Soooo, down the hatch it goes. At this point my stomach is at maximum torture capacity and I need some time to recover, but as a bonus I am now buzzing.
For the rest of the night I socialized with anyone and everyone and took a bunch of pictures. When I went to upload them I had taken a total of 211 pictures from the party. ( If you weren't in as many pictures as you wanted next time come seek me out and have me take your picture. All I do is walk around and try to find fun things to shoot pictures of. )
The party finally ended at 2:00 AM when we told everyone that if they aren't a DChi or chick they gotta go, however that was revoked and changed to everyone in the house that doesn't live there had to go, gotta love the Police. When they went through the house to make sure everyone that didn't live there was gone, they found someone that had too much to drink. Since the situation is still under review I won't go into details, but the fun factor went down from there. In the end I finally got to bed around 6:00 AM.
Since everything was combined into one big blur, and I only got an hour and a half of sleep I'll just move into the next event that I helped with, Pack-a-Box.
I woke up at 7:30 AM and started to walk around the house to assess the party damage. The house was a mess no matter where you walked. I thought about going to my car to change out of my costume, but due to the fact that I had only gotten one hour of sleep, and I was lazy, I passed and kept it on. Eventually some of the guys woke up, or showed up, for the event and we were out by 9:15 AM. We technically were supposed to be at the place by 9:00 AM, but hey, we did our best and we showed up anyways even with only an hour of sleep or so each. :p Since I was still in costume I got some weird looks, but it's all right, I like being unique. :)
After we signed in we were assigned to several different tasks: tearing up boxes, making boxes, packing canned goods in the boxes, moving crates filled with different things, etc. It was fun and I had a blast! I operated a hydraulic lift to move the crates around that the guys breaking up the boxes filled. When I wasn't needed for that I helped out Gus and Ryan moving the boxes for the assembly line, once the crate was filled I went back and brought them a new one and dropped off the old one. I basically moved around all over the place trying to help out where I could. Around 11:15 AM we took a quick 10 minute break, and by 11:45 AM we were done since we ran out of meat and couldn't pack correct boxes. After saying our goodbyes we headed back to the house.
Once back at the house not many of us stayed around long because most of us wanted to head back and get some sleep. I had intended on either going to Blizz Con, or doing a movie marathon with my Dad, but things didn't work that way and I ended up going off to take an hour nap or so. Well 6 hours later I woke up and saw that it was 8:30 PM. I called Rene to see if he was going to Monster Massive, but unfortunately for me, he was already up there standing in line about to go in. Due to multiple circumstances I was unable to go. That did really bum me out, but hey...I got to go back to bed and make up for my loss of sleep. :p
