My Oscar Picks!
The 2005 Academy Awards hosted by Chris Rock. We are used to seeing him on the MTV Video Music Awards, however he is going to be hosting Hollywood biggest night. His plan on hosting is a great and shows him that hes a great entertainer. He stated that this will be the peoples Academy Awards. Where he will make the person who never seen Sideways but seen Bourne Surpremecy two times seen apart of the Oscars. The following are my picks.... like it or love it.
Performance by an actor in a leading role
Don Cheadle in “Hotel Rwanda”
Johnny Depp in “Finding Neverland”
Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Aviator”
Clint Eastwood in “Million Dollar Baby”
Jamie Foxx in “Ray”
Jamie Foxx really deserves this award, its hella tight seeing him from the Jamie Foxx Show to his role in Ray and Collateral. I believe he will win and should win, however Don Cheadle is one of my favorite actors. He also should win this award. It would be between them. Dont think i dont see the other nominees, these are some heavy hitters.
Performance by an actor in a supporting role
Alan Alda in “The Aviator”
Thomas Haden Church in “Sideways”
Jamie Foxx in “Collateral”
Morgan Freeman in “Million Dollar Baby”
Clive Owen in “Closer”
Again i would love to see Jamie Foxx get this award. However Alan Alda i think will win this award. Morgan Freeman had an excellent performance in Million Dollar Baby but he has done roles like this before and it wouldnt be any departure.
Performance by an actress in a leading role
Annette Bening in “Being Julia”
Catalina Sandino Moreno in “Maria Full of Grace”
Imelda Staunton in “Vera Drake”
Hilary Swank in “Million Dollar Baby”
Kate Winslet in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Hands down i want Kate Winselet to win. HANDS DOWN. This i can say was my favorite movie of 2004. However, Hilary Swank's performance and transformation into this buff chick will take the Oscar away, no doubt.
Performance by an actress in a supporting role
Cate Blanchett in “The Aviator”
Laura Linney in “Kinsey”
Virginia Madsen in “Sideways”
Sophie Okonedo in “Hotel Rwanda”
Natalie Portman in “Closer”
Cate Blanchett is the favorite. Natalie Portman was pretty hot in Closer. However i believe Virginia Madsen will win. Her role was more unique to me than the other nominees in the other movies.
Best animated feature film of the year
“The Incredibles”
“Shark Tale”
“Shrek 2”
I dont see much with Shark Tale. However Incredibles had a great concept, but man Shrek 2 was a funny movie.
Achievement in directing
“The Aviator” Martin Scorsese
“Million Dollar Baby” Clint Eastwood
“Ray” Taylor Hackford
"Sideways” Alexander Payne
“Vera Drake” Mike Leigh
Martin Scorsese, cmon. One of the friggin greatest directors ever. But if he would have competition, it would be from the man... CLint Eastwood.
Best documentary feature
“Born into Brothels”
“The Story of the Weeping Camel”
“Super Size Me”
“Tupac: Resurrection”
“Twist of Faith”
Very very very informantive. Junk food is sooo sick. If you havent seen it, you have to watch this movie
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
“Accidentally In Love” from “Shrek 2”
Lyric by Adam Duritz and Daniel Vickrey
“Al Otro Lado Del Río” from “The Motorcycle Diaries”
Music and Lyric by Jorge Drexler

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyric by Charles Hart
“Look To Your Path (Vois Sur Ton Chemin)” from “The Chorus (Les Choristes)”
Music by Bruno Coulais
Lyric by Christophe Barratier
Very likely to win, not being bias since Josh Groban is the one who sang the song. But it is going to be performed at the Oscars, like i said in a previous post. T-Minus 22 days until Josh Groban in Vegas!
Best motion picture of the year
“The Aviator”
“Finding Neverland”
“Million Dollar Baby”

The only ones to pick from this category is either Aviator or Million Dollar Baby. Aviator is the favorite but i will have to go with Million DOllar Baby

Jim Miller and Paul Rubell

I would love to see Troy win. However you have seen the whole epic greek or ancient look done with Lord of the Rings. The Aviator will take this due to the time period it was based in. The costumes were amazing and the glamor was clearly shown.

Zhao Xiaoding
“The Passion of the Christ”
Caleb Deschanel
“The Phantom of the Opera”

Mr. Groban returns to the Oscar stage.
The Oscars are this weekend. The biggest showing of celebrites in one place at one time. The attendees are getting ready by finding that perfect dress or suit and getting pampered like royalty. I, myself have an Oscar party to attend to and have to get ready myself. Anyways, while everyone done what they do to get ready, Josh Groban is rehearsing for his perfomance on Oscar night.
Feeling under the weather this week, he will be performing "Believe" from The Polar Express with Beyonce. That will be a very interesting performnace to watch. Oscar night is also Groban's 24th birthday, will he be celebrating at an Oscar after-party. That will be left to see, however i believe the song will win the Oscar for Best Song and hes going to have to show off the Oscar at the parties. However im sure the writers will be have dibs. I will have my Oscar picks later on today. Be sure to watch the Oscars or at least his performance Sunday February 27th on ABC 8:00PM.
Josh Groban, song writer Glen Ballard and producer of the 77th Academy Awards Gil Cates listen to Groban's recording of the song the Oscar nominated song 'Believe' from the film 'Polar Express' with singer Beyonce Knowles at Capitol Recording Studios in Los Angeles Ballard co-wrote the song with Alan Silvestri. Photo taken 2/21/2005. Click for larger image
Straight from Gil Cates' blog, producer of 77th Academy Awards:
Later in the day, I spent several hours at a musical recording session with some of the performers of the Oscar nominated songs. After listening to Beyonce, Josh Groban, Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana fine tune their performances with the full Oscar orchestra conducted by Bill Conti, I am more confident than ever that the live musical performances will be a highlight of this year's Oscars.
Some FYI for yall... from Rolling Stone.

That is so not HOT!
Paris Hilton. You either love her or you dont. Most of the general public does not for whatever reason. From either not liking her because she is famous for no reason but her being party animal or her infamous sex tape. Anyway you want to put it, shes out there, shes famous, and yes she is overrated, but you hear about her alot because the people want to hear about it no matter how much you disklike her, shes here to stay.
If you have not heard, the T-Mobile Spokesperson had her T-Mobile Sidekick account has been hacked and all her notes, address book, and photos were put online last weekend. If you dont have a T-Mobile Sidekick, the phone is synced with the T-Mobile Servers and you can access all your info on the web throught T-Mobile. I use this function often when i dont have my Sidekick on me, and i need to check phone numbers, emails and so on.
Im sure the first thing you might have been thinking was that, oh her addressbook with all her phone numbers, what famous people would she have on it. It ranges from a famous controversal white rapper to a diirrry pop singer soon to be married and everyone in between. I find it so annoying and unfair to Paris and the people in her phonebook that someone would hack it and put it all over the internet. Changing phone numbers is hard enough already. I am trying to deal with two cell phone accounts and thats already hard. Think about the people on her phonebook who have to update numbers and tell everyone the new numbers. Thats just utterty bullshit. Ive read people tried and call a few numbers where they had full voicemails, not surprised at all. I am connected to Paris and most of the people on her last by minimal of 1 degree of separation and 3 at the most.
However, i found a few things odd. Her photos on her Sidekick that were taken off. She has a few with her topless and one with her kissing another girl. I find that sorta odd to have on your phone but then again, i have a bunch of random images on my phone i wouldnt like to share to the general public. Then certain notes in her notepad were really odd. The one i found odd, said... Tell Ken that Jess wants to bone JT. Took me a second to translate it but i believe Ken is referring to Nick Lachey and Jess is Jessica Simpson. Of course JT is Justin Timberlake. I recall Jessica saying something about Justin is cute or whatever. I dont know. I will talk to my contact about this and see whats up. If i will report this to you guys, i will still have to see.
One last thing i found that totally sucks is that her voicemail was hacked. Whoever did it, used somethign call CALLER ID SPOOFING. That is where you can call to a gateway and then dial whatever number you want with whatever caller id number you want. So i can call your cell phone from my phone and put in the number like it was your mom or smething and you would believe your mom is calling because that is what is going to show up on your phone. If you are wondering if i can do this, yes i can. I can call your phone and make it think it was someone you dont like or perhaps like. Anyways, the problem here. T-Mobile and Sprint do not make you put in your password to access your voicemail. It assumes you are calling from your handset and puts your right though your voicemail. The actual recording of her voicemail is floating around the internet which i got my hands on, however do to my own convictions about my friends friend. I will not have it here avalible to download.
As i am listening to her voicemail, of course the mailbox is full. But what i noticed, a lot of effin retards calling and leaving messages thinking it is funny, but what is even more hilarious is that they leave their phone numbers thinking she would call. So they put their numbers on her voicemail which has been hacked, so a few million people have your cell phone number and can fuck with you and most likely hack your shit too. Listening to more mesasge, she is the jet setting girl you know and love, and an A-lister.
Bottomline that hella sucks. The FBI is indeed getting into this matter. They already caught one hacker messing around with T-Mobile servers and found out other people were in it for months at a time without T-Mobile even noticing. Thats sorta scary because i do have "important" numbers from "important" people and i have notes i wouldnt want people knowing i wrote and photos that arent meant for public view. Yall know i pretty much share everything and think about the shit i wouldnt want out there. Totolly sucks.
I still love my Sidekick and soon to be Sidekick II

Mr. Britney Spears breaks his silence.
If you been living under a rock or just not breathing, then you havent heard about Britney Spears second marrage to a dancer. Of all the peopel who could have dated, let alone married, she settled down with a dancer. I lowly dancer. Its been all over the tabloids, news everything. Kevin Federline cheated on Shar Jackson while she was pregnant with his second child. The imfamous honeymoon photos in Fiji. Jokes about Kevin Federline losing his allowance Britney gives him and what not. However in March 2005 Details, Kevin lays everything out on table with Britney putting her 2 cents in.
Starts off with the background on the guy. You know, the usual humble beginnings and up to no good, go to Los Angeles with the clothes on your back and a dream. I do have to say this dude is a accomplished dancer dancing for everyone from Usher to Britney to Justin Timberlake. What i got incommon with this dude is that he wanted to be a young father and i think that would be really tight. He knows he wasnt gonna be with the mother forever but wanted the kids. What i found odd but i guess is cool? that one of his kids is named Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline. I guess since the Char's last name is Jackson.
Now for the surprising thing. Britney comes and gets into the interview after her work out and says one of the most intelligent and true thing ive heard come out of her.
Britney Spears - "Well, I think a lot of Americans want to sit there and know they are being taken care of by the president. They dont want to think about war and death. This is just me thinking here, but i dont think a lot of people want to face the reality of whatws going on in the world. They want to be entertained. Its like a distraction. People want to live a fantasy. You know what I mean? So Kevin and I, or any other celebrities, are a distraction."
I dont want to go off on a tangent and go on the Bad Bush train and stuff, but she is right. People want to THINK the president is taking care of us. But if you check out his actually work to vacation ratio in the first year of his term in office. It like something like 70 percent vacation, but yeah. Thats enough of that. Britney i give you credit, the credit you deserve.
Then it goes on to something i thought was one of those moments that show they are pretty down for each other. Not so much on Kevin's part, but its all good.
Britney:...Babe, am I talking too much?
Kevin: Yeah, go away! [He laughs and hugs her.]
Britney: Is it okay if I stay? I miss you when I'm not with you.
Kevin: I don't care.
Thats some nice stuff there, giving them props but yeah. They are gonna have a clothing line called Pair a Dice. Play on words and for them becayse dice are lucky for them. I wanna see what sort of stuff they will put out. Im stating this right now. Mark my words. I will sport the clothes, so people needa stop biting and shit. Anyways. All and all it was a nice interview, i have new respect for Britney and a found respect for Kevin. It alway annoys me when people are up in peoples shit thinking their shit dont stink, but yeah. What you are goin to do?
"He's all good. A talented guy, you know. Ive got no problems with him...that's all fine" Kevin Federline talking about Justin Timberlake.

The Worth of Friendship.
It has been a week since Valentines. The ultimate Hallmark holiday, but its always nice to spend the day with someone, doesnt matter who. Just the idea of hangin with someone cool. Ok thats just the intro into whatever i have to say. So yeah. I sent some friends some flowers. They were some really nice flowers, multicolored roses with a box of chocolate and such. However the thing was i ordered them when the person i was sending it to and i were on somewhat good terms. 
I had this perfect quote i felt at the time, it was so perfect but ill talk about that in a bit.
Anyways, the closer it got to Valentines, the more things just fell apart and things just were what you would say? wack? Who knows. Yeah yeah i know, i promised an entry about it all but to be honest my thoughts are not clear and cut and i just pretty much ramble and what not. If you know my password, i wrote a few things and its sitting around on my website. Anyways. Bottomline? i pretty much decided to end the friendship because i wasnt happy anymore. After i decided that, i looked back on the whole thing and i had an epiffany, which im dont want to talk about at the moment, but to summarize? I knew what i was getting into, and i totally tried to stop it. Tried to stop it sooo many times, but i was promised things and what not and yeah. but thats about it for now.
Ok, now here comes the funny part and if you believe in karma or fate then heres a good read. Valentines came around and i assume the flowers were delivered since i sent flowers before but with a local florist who didnt seem to have a problem finding the address and what not. So i assume the address i gave them was correct and used that when ordering the flowers through 1800flowers.com. To be honest, i wanted to canceled them because i didnt want to be giving the wrong idea at all and see if i can get what i spend on them credited back. It would kick start my saving the money thing. It seem like it would have been too much trouble so i just let it be. Anyways.
The next day, i got a call saying the flowers werent delivered due to the incorrect address. I tried to call 1800flowers and they were hella busy. Then i found out fedex were the one to deliver it but it was pretty much pointless because i didnt know the correct address, so i didnt bother with it.
At this point, i was thinking again, should i even bother? I mean its kinda and pretty much pointless. But again, its already been paid for and yeah.
Wednesday comes, and i give them whatever address i think it is. Well first i call Fed Ex to give them the "correct" address and they tell me that the package was told to be destroyed. I was thinking what the fuck? i didnt drop 50 bones on it for nothing. I hit up 1800flowers and they said it wasnt destroyed and gave them whatever address i thought it was, but not without being on hold for 20 mins. So i thought to myself, thats done. Whatever.
Oh its not over. I get a call on Friday. Wrong address yet again. At this point i was pretty much peeved as fuck. I just said screw it, gave them the house number and have them call the house and hopefully someone is there and gives them the correct address. Saturday comes around, i go on the Fedex tracking and found something rather odd. Heres what it said:
8:48 - Left Fedex Facility
8:52 - At Fedex Facility
I thought that was hella hella odd. But whatever. I am over it. She either got it or not. We all know i am on an allowance, so i go to my online banking and move some funds around for shopping and lunch. I noticed that i got an extra 50 bucks and some odd dollars and change. So i figure it didnt get delivered which is a good thing and i got my money back. So what i wanted happened. But the thing is, was it some sort of sign? haha. making sure that these flowers dont get delivered? who knows. i am not really trying to think too hard about it. What i am thinking hard about is with the 50 bucks added to my allowance, when can i get my Chucks? haha.
Now to what i wrote on the card. I ran across this quote and felt so strongly about it at the time. Keyword... at the time.
"No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth."
At the time, im not sure but i decided to take a break from the relationship because my head wasnt in the right place and i dont think hers was either. So im sitting around going through my day wondering how it could go back to how it was or something like that. But when i would see whats up with her, she would say things like she hasnt given it much thought and it hasnt crossed her mind and such. Here i am agnozing about it and to be honest i didnt want to anymore. Thats why i decided to take the break, so at least something can be in my terms, i can control some aspect of something.
As the quote says, no distance or amount of time can a friendship lose its value if both person know of each others worth in the relationship. WOW. I mean can this be true? can this be real? Im sorry Nsync song, haha. but yeah, if this is true then whenever our break is done or whatever, we can go back to how it was. At a certain point, im not going to lie, i needed this person. I needed her like a fat kid needs cake. hahahaa.. you know what im saying. At a certain point, she told me she needed me. However with recent things that have been happening, and her stepping all over my feelings, the feelings she doesnt know about only because i choose not to share most of it. I just dont know where i am at anymore. I want to value our friendship again, i mean. It was really nice, and our Vegas trip would have been really nice. I had so many things planned. I had an amazing dinner with a breath taking view, a trip to a chocolate factory, yes a chocolate factory, a Monet art exhibit, a folick in beautiful conservatory, with a nice limo down the strip goin back to a funny conversation we had on our first date and of course Josh Groban. Right now, none of that will happen, well a lot on my part will. I am still goin, im not goin to give up a trip because the person i was suppose to go with, dont know what its at right now. Well i do, its pretty much over. On my terms. I dont know how i feel, i wish i did. But i dont. I usually know but now i dont. Im not worried, ill have a fun time and then i can go back to saving my money. But yea, listen to that quote. Thats something i will preach but wont practice, because i dont believe in friendship much, lost faith in that a long time ago, and i think i lost it much more permanetly recently.
Only person i can trust is the person i see in the mirror

Hit me up on the 2 way yo!
Its that time of the year. My contract is up on my cell phones, and its time to get another one. Cingular gives me a discount, the same discount they give to new customers which is a good thing. T Mobile who is hella wack doesnt give you any good deal at all and rebates here and there but i dont know. I really want the sidekick II
i been wanting it before it came out, i wished i got the special deal they gave to customers. Anyways at the moment its 320 dollars which is pretty steep for me at the moment. However i need to get it soon because im going back to work in Los Angeles doing my events, and its all about your clothes and what you own and shit. So yeah, i gotta hang with my peers. I've had the Sidekick I for over a year and yeah. So once i get the Sidekick II and you have T-Mobile and want the Sidekick I, ill give it to ya for 50 or 100 bucks or whatever.
Cingular, i wanted this phone. 
the Sony Ericsson Z500a. It has a camera with a 4x zoom and a VGA Video Camera. Its a flip phone also and i assume it has bluetooth. Why do i need Bluetooth? I dont really need it but where my house is located. I have horrible reception so i use my bluetooth headset to talk and its wireless and its just better to talk on especially when i use it for hours. I was about to buy the phone today. I went to the Cingular store and they didnt let me get it because i wasnt an authorized user on the account because its under my dad and my credit sucks balls and yeah. Good thing they didnt, i assumed it had bluetooth and i was told it had it, so i would have made a purchase i dont think i could have returned. The price is a steal however, 50 bucks after rebate. That hella nice for a phone that retails for about 180.
However i came across another phone, 
this one is hella sweet. 1.3 megapixel phone and other stuff and looks nice, but its too bulky, and with my sidekick. Thats not goin to be a nice thing. so i might have to just settle for the Z500a, its said to have good reception, so maybe i can chill with that or something. Ill switch phones when i needa get up on the Bluetooth. I dont want be to spending more on a phone with Cingular since i dont use much of their service. I doing a hella good job saving my money huh??
I love my effin toys

Nice stuff now? or Nice car later?
As most of you know, i have been without a car for nearly a month now. It sucks balls. One of the main thing that gets me about it is that i have to depend on other people to get to work and back home. Then if i need to run errands or something i cannot do it. it sucks so bad. I havent dry clean my clothes for about a month, good thing i have like 100 of dress shirts but still. So i decided to pursue a new car. I have had about 5000 dollar saved up for a long time, however havent been pushing for the car. Why? i dont know, i had one, didnt want to spend it yet until i knew what i am getting myself into with payments and insurance.
So most of you guys know i want a MINI Cooper Convertible. You can click on the pictures above to check the one i want. I been to MINI USA lots of time designing my car. Usually it comes out to around 24000 which isnt bad at all. However when i am looking at the estimate payments, for a 5 year payment system, 60 payments, 12 a year. It comes out to 369 for a 5000 down. Isnt that bad, i can handle that, but its way too unrealistic for me. Why? Oh cmon, its spring, the spring line is out. Gotta get new clothes. HAHA. I have horrible spending habits and a much worse saving habit. I cant stop spending and i cant start saving. It sucks. However not having a form of transportation has restricted me from spending which is good. I am making more money since the year started off my probation and what not. I am not spending 100 bucks a month on dry cleaning, 200 on gas a month, 200 bucks on dinner dates and shit. X amount on clothes, shoes and electronics. I mean i can save cant I? I will have to if i really want this car, and if i plan on moving out with Jovana.
Ok, so i figure i need to come up with another 5k for a 10k down and payments will be a little more reasonable. Which it was, it took about 100 bucks off. 100 bucks i can spend towards the gas, insurance, rent. Who knows. but yeah. My goal? to save up 5k as soon as i can. so i can get this damn car and start rollin through sunset like i used to. It took me about a week to get 1k. So if i stop spending and shit ill be fine. hopefully. Well no more eating out for sure, no more concerts especially fuckin josh groban ones. God i spend about 1500 on josh groban related concert shiets. I mean im still gonna go, just shitty seats or work my magic for free ones. or not, i cant really enjoy his music anymore right now. long story, but you might read it if i post it. Anyways. No more iPods. haha. i wanted the new one, but i can wait. The only thing that will tax me soon will be my new phones which i will talk about in a bit. Speaking of tax, i hope my tax return is big. SHOOT. That would friggin help out. Man i soo need a pair of Chucks.
100 dollar allowance and THATS ALL!

PF Changs Rancho Cucamonga Victoria Gardens.
Finally. Our little downtown we call Victoria Gardens has open its PF Changs. Hurray. No more driving out to Pasadena or Irvine to enjoy some pretty damn good chineseish bistro food.
I had lunch over there today with a friend because i been meaning to hit this place up all week, however lack of transportation made that kinda hard.
First thing i noticed, it was hella hella smaller than the other ones. Ok i lied, the first thing i noticed was the hostess. She was fione! Very nice hair and i have to admit but ever since someone brought earrings to my attention, ive been noticing them more often on chicks and such and she had some nice earrings. But she was hella cute. Anyways, when we got seated, i noticed all the damn tables pretty close to each other and man does that really kill the mood you usually get from other PF Changs. Granted Pasadena and Irvine had tables fairly adjacent to other however there were pillars and such in the way to limit the line of sight. Anyhow that didnt matter much when the hostess came in the dining room, it was very nice thing, everytime she came to sit other guest down.
Of course, EVERYWHERE i go, i see the homies. Caught a few people i know working there. It was hella cool and such to see them like always, but the typical small talk commenced.
Got the usually appetizers, lettuce wraps and crab wontons. Decided to try something else for the main dish and got orange peel beef with brown rice. Thats my new thing!! Brown rice. You heard it here first. I been eating brown rice for about 2 months because white rice isnt as nutritious as the brown and brown has a crunch and texture that isnt the norm for me, since i been growing up with the white rice for 20ish years. We got hooked up with Orange Peel Shrimp. So nice. Everytime i got to this restaurant i get something free and shit. Its wonderful.
Lunch was really nice. Service was really good. Most def i am coming back. its inexpensive. 35 bucks and it was split which was even better. The person i ate with fucked up my fortune cookie. She handed me one which you dont do. I went for the other one and she touched my fortune so i couldnt even eat it. The waiter was watching us and he even knew whats up. Saying she had no fortune cookie etiquette. Yes there is etiquette when you open a fortune cookie. So she got a good fortune but she decided to open mine which pretty much negates her. The one she fucked up was the total opposite from the good one. It was funny, i dont know what it said because i didnt want to hear it but yeah.
Split bill came to like 17 bucks and her CHEAP ass didnt want to tip so i tipped an even 13 bucks. which was 75 percent of my 17 and 37 percent of the 35. I ALWAYS try to tip 20 percent at these kinds of places because i enjoy the food and want good service next time. Plus i tipped horrible once when i had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. it was like 1 percent, maybe that even that. I felt so bad, if i knew i wasnt going to watch a movie after then i would have tipped more but yeah.
PF Changs, great food, great service, great looking hostess however layout kinda sucks.
Trendy Chinese food ROCKS!

Update: Grammys 2005
So just watching the preshow stuff on E! and MTV. Im sorry but Star Jones and Kathy Griffin are hella annoying and i dont even think they know who they are talking to. Very very annoying as fuck! However i saw Christina Milian wearing Versace looks hella fine. Then Joss Stone looks hella tall and shes hella fione also. Shoot. All about the British chicks with their accents. Of course Alicia Keys friggin is hella beautiful. When i saw her back at Jingle Ball, goodness!!! SHes looking hella good on the green carpet.
Starting off with Black Eye Peas with the hella tight song Lets get it Started. Man i remember seeing them last year and man they were hella tight, especially Fergie, shes wearing something a little not used to her usually short skirt.
Then it went right into to Gwen Stefani and Eve with Rich Girl. Reminds me of the American Music Awards with back to back performances, but its gonna be 5 back to back. Man, it would be hella hella tight if i was there. Jeeze. ANYWAYS!! They all up in the pirate attire which is pretty nice and stuff if you are into that.
Now back to Black Eye Peas, thats pretty friggin sweet.
Los Lonely Boys, from Texas. They do a pretty tight version of Hotel California in spanish. Stupid Star Jones didnt do no research at all and thought they were from California in Los Angeles. How racisit is that??? Mexicans from LA. HAHA.. anyways.. They perform there song Heaven. DUDE, the Staples Center looks soo fucking sweet.
Now, Maroon 5, they are hella gonna win so many awards. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT!!! Performing This Love, the piano guy supporting a peace sign arm band of course aimed towards Bush of course. Adam Levine dawn the guitar and playued a solo with Will.I.Am singing versus of Lets Get it Started.
Last to perform, Franz Fernandad with Take me Out. Their sound is so damn great and so catchy!! I recommand their album if you dont have it already. The lead singer has funny hair and a weid hair cut.
All the groups all are playing together and it sounds like a huge mess, but man if you were there, it would friggin amp you up so so much. 5 groups singing their song. DUDE, its hella crazy!!
Now they are going throught the line up of people who are performing or presenting and man, some of the peopel there esepcially actors are hella random....
Queen Latifah is hosting which is kinda random, again. It should have been Dave Chapelle or something, make that shit funny or something. Oh well, Chris Rock will be hosting the Oscars and that shit will be hella hilarious.
Her opening is somewhat on par but whatever. Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez is going to have some sort of crazy performance. Im gonan be hella upset watch.
They showed a few categoies and winners when John Travola, Christina Milian, and Steven Tyler were up presenting. Best Pop Vocal Performance when to John Mayer. That hella sucks. big balls. Josh Groban, next time.. next time!! Los Lonely Boys won Best Pop Group/Duo. Big surprise, it should have been Maroon 5 or Hoobastank.
After the commericial, Alicia Keys is performing. She performs If i Aint Got You with something that looks like an orchestra. She brings out Jamie Foxx and Quincy Jones. Jamie Foxx performs Gerogia by Ray Charles. Alicia Keys puts so much emotions in her singing and you can see it, and thats hot. Wow they have the pianos up against each other and they shit was hella tight.
Nelly and Adam Sandler presents Male R&B performance. Adam Sandler always keeping it real and looking like a bum. Call my Name by Prince wins, wow.. I would think Usher woudl win it. This is soo setting the tone of certain awards. The flash by marquee goes by and Britney Spears won a Grammy for Toxic for Dance Recording. I wanted her to win that and she did. Right on!!
Bono and U2 performing with a glowing white background. That looks tight and gives a nice effect.
Rock Album, Green Day wins. Pharrell of course has to put out the Startrak. haha.. Here my pick won and stuff.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are perofmring together and singing Escapemos. People were friggin wondering what song they were singing, well if anyone picked up Marc Anthony's latest album and they would know. Jeeze. ive had this album and heard this song grips of time, no surprise here. well maybe there might be, im waiting, but they are in a bedroom scene. The other duet they had, is a great song. About a relationship where the guy doesnt deserve the girl and does everything to try to break it up or ruin it and the girl tells the guy he is crazy. ZBut when the guy reliezes she is right, she is already convinced that he was right all along. Funny huh?? No Me Ames i think its called. Which i think translate to I Wont Love You or something. My spanish is hella rusty.
Well its 9 o clock, now im switching between Despearate Housewives and the Grammys. This is going to suck.
Best New Artist goes to Maroon 5.. Like it should. Kanye West, you can tell wanted this award, but yes Maroon 5. Man, im so damn tight with my predictions. HAHA..
Green Day is performing American Idiot. Hella tight son and its hella tight performance with teh fire and such. Most of the performing woudlnt get people up and dancing and at these the song makes it seem like people will do that.
Alicia Keys wins R&B album. Shes soo fione!!! Again another pick i pick wins.
Kanye with a great perofmrance. He and his pose, haha... he hella always poses that way and its tizate!! and he wins Best Rap Album. Gotta love what he said that is true. "Nothing in life is promised except death." - Kanye West. Is that so true.. you are promised NOTHING and no one can promise you ANYTHING!
im sorry.. Boston Legal is on and yeah.. So hilarious!! Well im pretty much not watching more of the Grammys however, i gotta wait for the big awards that are left over....

Musicality: Grammy Awards 2005
Its done. I not going to worry about it anymore. what am i not worrying about? The fact that i should be at the Grammys covering it, enjoying it, talking to the likes of Usher, Kanye, Josh Groban, and sooo many other people. But whatever. Once the Grammys are over, ill be fine and will go next year. This time, i wont be waiting for someone to give me their damn drivers license number because i wanted them to go. FUCK THAT SHIET! anyways..
Ok, man i just tripped myself out. I thought Josh Groban and Beyonce was going to perform at the Grammys but its at friggin the Oscars. Speaking of Oscars. IM GOING TO MY FIRST OSCAR PARTY!! but ill talk about that in another post.
Now on to who i think is going to win the categories and what not.
Record of the Year
i have to go with Usher with Yeah. I mean what couldnt you not hear the beginning of last year? This friggin song, and also this song is what drove Confessions to hit i think over 2 million units in its first week or day or something??
Album of the Year
Now this Category is very very tough. We got Green Day, Alicia Keys, Usher, Kanye, Ray Charles. Kanye West should totally win this, but if he gets beat out it would be between Usher and Ray Charles. You just cant forget about Ray and his passing and theres the sentimental egde.
Ok, i just saw a commericial for the Grammys, and man i just have this bitter and resenting feeling. God, ok whatever. i will have at least 50 more Grammys...hopefully...
Song of the Year
I have to say The Reason by Hoobastank. This song was a great song and reminds me of certain things and people but that is besides the point. However i been here good stuff about Tim McGraw's song for his daddy. The song Live like you Were Dying. So i would say its between Hoobastank and Tim McGraw. Alicia and Kanye are also nominated but i dont think they have a real chance in this category.
Best New Artist
* Los Lonely Boys
* Maroon5
* Joss Stone
* Kanye West
* Gretchen Wilson
Wow, this is going to be very very interesting. Let me start off with that i believe Maroon 5 will win but Kayne West is nose to nose with them. Los Lonely Boys, great sound and album but not to the caliber of the other artists. Maroon 5, incredible band and cant wait to see them in tour. I really want them to win. Joss Stone who went on tour with Maroon 5, love her voice but i wouldnt think she would win against the other artist. If some of the others werent, she would totally win. Kanye, not winning at the American Music Awards was bullshit, but as best artist he can win but he will get a better award to make up for this one. Gretchen Wilson, im sorry but shes annoying and sucks. At the American Music Awards, she robbed best new artist from Kanye. thats all i gotta say about that.
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
Dont know too much about this category. I would go for Sheryl Crow. How its a very good category with Joss Stone, Bjork, Gwen, and Norah Jones. A category with hella good female vocals. So since i dont know much, im not going to say much anymore.
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
IM SORRY BUT I HAVE TO SAY JOSH GROBAN!!! Im not going to lie, i am hella partial. Elvis Cestello, Prince, John Mayer and Seal are up again Josh. I would say John Mayer would be a maybe because the song is a nice song but the upset will be from Prince. I have a strong feeling Prince might take it away... sadly...
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal
* My Immortal
Evanescence
* The Reason
Hoobastank
* Heaven
Los Lonely Boys
* She Will Be Loved
Maroon5
* It's My Life
No Doubt
I love all these tracks. Great great songs. I say its between Maroon 5 or Hoobastank. Its very very close. I say Maroon 5, but i wouldnt be surprised if Hoobastank might take it away.
Best Dance Recording
* Good Luck
Basement Jaxx Featuring Lisa Kekaula
* Get Yourself High
The Chemical Brothers Featuring K-OS
* Slow
Kylie Minogue
* Comfortably Numb
Scissor Sisters
* Toxic
Britney Spears
I would want Kylee or Britney to win but the Grammys association doesnt really like them to be honest. I heard of Scissor sisters but havent heard their music. So my pick would be Chemicals brothers.
Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal
* Monkey To Man
Elvis Costello & The Imposters
* Take Me Out
Franz Ferdinand
* American Idiot
Green Day
* Somebody Told Me
The Killers
* Vertigo
U2
I would love to see Franz Ferdinand or the Killes but they wont win. Its going to be either U2 or Green Day. Green Day been getting great reviews with their album even though fans of the group from the beginning say this isnt their best. U2 with their damn iPod commericials, get the "old" people vote. However i would say its goign to be Green Day. This goes double with the Best Rock Song category.
Best Female R&B Vocal Performance
* I Want You
Janet Jackson
* If I Ain't Got You
Alicia Keys
* I'm Still In Love
Teena Marie
* Whatever
Jill Scott
* U-Haul
Angie Stone
Alicia Keys all the way. Hands down. Janet is still getting shit from the Superbowl nipplegate thing. Alicia Keys will making great music.
Best Male R&B Vocal Performance
* Charlene
Anthony Hamilton
* Happy People
R. Kelly
* What We Do Here
Brian McKnight
* Call My Name
Prince
* Burn
Usher
Of course Usher. This is the friggin anthem of all them broken hearts and broken relationships.
Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals
* Lose Your Breath
Destiny's Child
* Show Me The Way
Earth, Wind & Fire Featuring Raphael Saadiq
* Say Yes
Floetry
* Diary
Alicia Keys Featuring Tony! Toni! Toné!
* My Boo
Usher & Alicia Keys
Usher and Alicia Keys all the way. However Destiny's Child would take some votes away however, this duet with 2 superstars with the sound and everything. This will be Usher and Alicias definate 2nd Grammy of the night.
Best R&B Song
* Burn
* Call My Name
Prince
* My Boo
* Yeah!
* You Don't Know My Name
WOW, Usher has 3 songs in here and Alicia has 2. Its going to be a toss up between Burn and My Boo. Yeah is in this category but i wouldnt say its much of a R&B song. Im going to have to go with Burn.
Best R&B Album
* My Everything
Anita Baker
* I Can't Stop
Al Green
* The Diary Of Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys
* Musicology
Prince
* Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol. 2
Jill Scott
Again Alicia Keys however, i think Prince has a good chance here too. But i would want Alicia Keys to win.
Best Contemporary R&B Album
* Afrodisiac
Brandy
* Damita Jo
Janet Jackson
* It's About Time
Christina Milian
* Confessions
Usher
* Hurt No More
Mario Winans
Brandy got nominated?? Jeeze. I would really want to see my girl Christina win this, however its has to go to Usher. No Doubt.
Best Rap Solo Performance
* On Fire
Lloyd Banks
* Just Lose It
Eminem
* 99 Problems
Jay-Z
* Overnight Celebrity
Twista
* Through The Wire
Kanye West
For this category, Jay Z should win, however it has to be a safer choice. So that leaves Twista and Kanye, and it has to go to Kanye.
Ok there are a lot more categories, about over 80 but im too lazy to comment on them. I touched base with the important ones. Ill talk about the winners and performances later on..
Theres always next year

Life: New Friggin Lunar Year!!
Wednesday February 9th, It changed to the year of the cock. I mean Roaster. Somebody keeps referring it to the year of the cock which is true however their inneudo is noted clearly. Did i celebrate any at all? Well i was at work most of the day, and someone at work got some like this rice thingy cake with meat thing from her nail doing person.
Of course, her nail person had to be vietnamese which us people, well like 90 percent of us do that shiet. Dont ask me why. Whats even funner is that i was wearing red for some reason today and like red is like the good luck color and such.
Oh another thing too, someone else at work was all like do like vietnamese chicks. I was like umm, ive never dated one before and yeah. Shes like these girls at my nail place, bla bla bla, they are funny and cute and blah blah. I didnt give it any thought and yeah.
So like yeah, Saturday. Went down to a family party thing. The thing is, the house it was at was the house i grew up when i was younger. When i was living in Kansas, i remember this house i was at when i traveled back and forth to California. I spent so many weekends here way back when with my cousins after church. It was totally weird. I dont know, so many years back some family drama went down and my grandparents werent living in the house anymore. i dont know, not a huge huge fan of the family thing but yeah. I house was wow, i remember the gargage we used to play around in, seems so dang small. Ehh i dont know but whatever. Had to make the appearance to appease my grandparents and uncles and aunts. Had some food and got my money.. heheeh.. in them little red envelopes. That was pretty much that.
Happy New Years to all who the statement is valid for. So does that mean my resolutions start again? At least i can start over with certain things.

Anh.Letts: Courage of Friendship.
"Friendship is only lost once you have the courage to let it go."
Wow, talk about a ton of bricks. When i came across this quote, i like wow. I mean its so true though. Once you feel like you want to give it all up and come to the conclusion that you can, then the friendship is gone. If you lose the will to fight for it and what not, then what are you going to do? You cant convince someone to keep on fighting, i mean you can but it will be so futile. That totally sucks. I dont know. I really dont want to say what i am exactly thinking or feeling. However it pretty much wraps into confusion and disaray.
Do I have the courage?? Does she?

Week.End: January 30th - February 6th 2005
Its been a great week i would say. Lots and lots of stuff. One thing that was stressing me out wasnt so much stressing me out the whole week since i decided to take a break from someone. Granted i didnt want to and stuff, but i got my peace back and a sense of pressure lifted off me. However, certain points during the week i would have rather had all the pressure of world on me rather than not talking at all, but ill talk more about that in a bit, i cant do anything about it anyways because its her decision if she wants to or not.
Monday
Nothing too much at all that i can remember. It was just a really long day at work and thats pretty much all i recall. I started working on the website for work and i get way too distracted with things i have to do with my site and such.
Tuesday
Again with work. I called my friend dad to see what was his plan for Vegas, which he didnt really have one. Its kinda hard to talk about Vegas and what not especially when im suppose to be going with someone. Someone at the moment im not talking to. Which like totally sucks in one sense but its good in another. He called me back saying something about one day trip to Vegas and back. It seems more of a hassle than anything else. I mean the hotel isnt the biggest deal for me because i have an Uncle who lives there and has like 3 or 4 rooms just not being used by anyone. However, i cant decide what to do. I know i want to be there for the weekend, be over the weekend with my friend. However, we are not talking and i got the sense that she didnt care if i went or not. She was depending that her parents were going to go, and from the phone call i got. It was pretty much clear that they werent going to go. So, i wonder who she is going with now? I havent called her dad back just yet. Yeah, its almost been a week. I dont know what to do. I somewhat know what i wanna tell him, but then agian i dont want to say anything or plan any prematurely since there is pretty much no lines of communication to my friend. Who knows. I know i need to either call the dad and tell him i need sometime to figure something out or just tell him i aint talking to his daughter at the moment so i dont even know if she is even going to be going.
Earlier in the day, i was talking to Jovana. We've missed our monthly date two months in a row. I was busy and she had family things. However i got a hold of her and we started chatted and made plans for dinner next Wednesday. Shes leaving to El Salvador for a few weeks, so its good to she her before she goes. i was thinking about getting her flowers since she wont be here for Valentines and i dont think she has one or whatever. Anyways, we were talking and she asked me if i wanted to move out with her. Yes, for those who know me. You know exactly what i was thinking. For those who dont, heres what was in my thought bubble. "HELL YEAH!" Well we've talked about it before and such, nothing too serious. However she said she needs to move out because where she is is somewhat sucking at the moment. Im here for my friends, so she needs to move out and needs a roommate to split the cost of living, im there. I asked of course where to though and she said somewhere near her mom, and i understood that. I didnt care where i moved as long as i was near LA. Ok, im sure what you are thinking is, why do you need to move out Anh? You jsut moved into a huge ass house and blah blah.
To be honest, i really dont NEED to move out in the since of the work move. However, im 21 and i think its time. Nothing is pushing me out of my house realy. The only thing that is making me say is my 2 rooms i have and my bathroom, and a little of my super fast internet. Also, im going to be blowing 400 or more bucks on rent, that could be going towards my spring waredrobe. However the money thing is not a big deal. lets just say im getting paid a lot more now. :) Anyways, then theres my job and school. School that is going nowhere, and job that could be going somewhere. Then again, i can call some favors in LA and get a job down there. I have a few months to think about it anyways. Shes going to be saving her dough and i will be too. I really am thinking about getting a car asap. Im at the moment saving for Vegas, but that might not even fly so im gonna have about 1500 saved up already. I know I know, weekend trip to Vegas, what will you be doing. Ill tell ya here, if it happens, ill tel you about the experience. If not, ill tell ya what i had planned. However, so far i put in 300 bucks already. Back to subject. It would be hella cool living with Jovana and if rent is too expensive we will be getting another roommate. Of course i put in the suggestion of another chick and Jo was totally cool with it. Only thing to say is that this could be a utterly total mistake or the best thing i never do?
Anyways after work. I went shopping at Ontario Mills and then had dinner at Kabuki. That was pretty exciting. It was a place me and Jovana sugessted we go to dinner next week but totally shot down that because me and her can never decide where to go. She said something about 50 percent off sushi. I was like heck yeah! So me and Mical had dinner there. Shes having her problems with her finace and to be honest, i didnt want to hear any of it. I have to deal with my relationship with someone. I couldnt dispense any advice to her at all, which usually never happens. Just had our dinner, we had all this friggin sushi and it only was 50 bucks. Gotta love that. Then agian, im not saving anymore that way.
Speaking of saving money. I was talking to Krystal. We were chatting, and she was looking for a job and such and this and that. I told her i needa chill back on my money spending and such, which i do. Then she went off to say things about my style and clothes. Somethign to the effect that i own 5 shirts that look the same because i can and like spending money on them. She made it out to sound like i was this ,i dont know. it was kinda funny.
Lastly, im starting to be scared of going out. Well only around here because im seeing all these people i knew. Michal was buying shoes at Shoetaria, and i toally reconize the chick who was working there. I couldnt think of the name but i remember having a few lunch dates with her when i was working at the mall. Then i had to think about it and she worked at BeBe. I hella recall her looking hotter and being taller. I dont know. There were so many other people and such and it was just kinda weird.
Wednesday
Work, love is fun. I make fun of the old people there and its hilarious. Its kinda mean, but i dont know. Im getting a little too comtable and its been about 4 months. Longest i had a job that was hourly. Anyways.. Had lunch with Melissa at Marie Calenders. One hour is never enough time to eat but we tried to do it. Having fast food all week sucks. I have no other choice because i go to lunch with her or other people and its the easiest thing to get. I really need my car back or another car so that i can go grocery shopping or at least get something healthy. Anyways. Marie Calendars, i hate those kind of resturants. Where the food isnt really cooked, and its just like a step above fast food.
I got paid today. My check was very nice. Why? first of all it was the first check this year with a full week of work. When i compared the last check and this. It was about a 50 percent increase. Only one damn day changed that. It was weird but got me relieved because it will be a lot easier to save up money for Vegas. I allow myself only 100 spending each week and the rest save.
Went to dinner again to Kabuki. This time with Michal and Justin. That was really cool. However i been fighting off whatever i had and my throat has been killing me. But i didnt think about it too much. Finally, i was wondering when it was going to happen. When it was going to hit me. What hit me you are thinking? I finally felt the distance from my friend. I missed her. Missed talking to her. Wonder how she is doing. My question was why, why now? I didnt really feel anything the other days. Maybe because today was the longest time we havent talked. Yeah i know its lame, but only a few days has passed and its the longest we havent talked. I dont know. I tried not to think about it much and i didnt. Just wonder when this break is going to be done. Im not the one that can decide that which kinda sucks. Its whenever she wants to end it even though i declared it. What makes me wodner is if she even cares or she is taking this time to deal with other things before we can get back on track. Who knows, but sometimes its kinda agonizing.
OH! Thea works at Kabuki. Shes been getting cute and such but we stopped talking. God, like really, theme of my life. But it was pretty cool. Sushi again was good. I got my favorite roll, which is unagi {eel} and avocado. Sometimes if they have it, unagi, avocado and tempura shrimp or something. Ok, then we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dessert. I wanted to go to get tea but i needed to let my hair loose they would say and got the hot fudge brownie and that shit was hella hella bomb.
I totally saw Jon Adams there. I talked to him a few days ago. It was a long time since we did and he said he was in the Navy stationed in Diego. I kepted on looking and i swear it was him, but i didnt say anything because they were hella far. I still kinda wonder if that was him or not though.
Thursday
I soo dont remember anything today. Im sure it was filled with work, home, and watching The OC
Friday
Again just work, making fun of the old people. The company website and mine. Went home. Didnt do anything because i was tired and i didnt feel like calling anyone. however around 1ish, i hit up my friend and see if she wanted to go get some Korean Tofu in Rolling Heights. She was down and i got ready. Headed over there. Had some Soon Tofu which is hella good. What was funny is that you get like Kim Chi and all this other stuff before your main dish comes out. Usually i jsut wait and eat the stuff with the main dish. However me and Linda finally asked each other when the heck we are suppose eat this. I sure didnt know, but my friend's mom is Korean, so maybe i can ask her. I dont have any Korean friends, well full Korean. So i cant ask them and then i cant asked the half one either. Jeeze.. next subject. Got home around 3 and was soo pooped.
Saturday
Had a dentist appointment which was until 3ish. So i just did the cleaning thing all day. Had some workers over putting the crown molding. Got ready around 2ish and headed off to The OC. Got my teeth clean. Man i love getting it cleaned. All my lazyness is erased. However Christine who is my dentist did say my teeth this time are a lot worse than before. I dont know, i try to floss everyday, but then again the head on my toothbrush is used up and i need to get another. For the first time though, ,i said fuck it and didnt make an excuse. I was like i didnt floss as much as i should have and i have no excuse. What was kinda weird, i couldnt breathe this cleaning, it hasnt really happen before. I think my sinus are clogged up. That was pretty much my exciting time in The OC. Got some stuff outta my car and headed home.
Got home around 730 and Orlando called me up before i got there and he picked me up to head off to Andrew's surprise party Monica was throwing for him. Got there not many people were there, but hung with Erika, Liz and Matt. Talk about taking it back to high school. This was my very first party since high school with like high school people. I mean i thrown/gone to parties but it was with my other friends who werent in my high school. It wasnt like the party i somewhat threw with Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite. HAHAA.. Anyways, pretty much drinking and such. Liz, man did we have a minor thing in high school. He was a little cutie because of her eyes and smile. Totally forgot she was in dance. Then i remember that the girls in dance was asking me to join and shit. Good times.
More people showed up, Nina, Christina, Berniez. Man it was pretty cool, i had a few drinks. The music was popping here and there and busted out the 90s dance hits. Man, we were all like i was in 3rd grade when this song came out. haha. I swear, it has happened to me a few times, but when they play friggin Madonna's Like a Virgin, the girls hella get crazy and its just a song that is just funny to hear but to dance to its equally humorous.
Danced some, talked some. It was fun. Orlando was trying to get at Liz which was cool. Me and Bernice kinda caught up. Man i knew her for years, and she totally got hot in high school. Got her number, so we can hang out some. I dont know if i will call her or not. I dont know. But do i love the dancing. People got drunk, i was pretty sober, i mean i wanted to get buzzed or something but we were gonna go to the Yard House after and drink there.
Then Bev showed up, i was like are you kidding me but i was not surprised. We were cool in middle school. She wanted me to date her friend, which was a no go. High School, we talked a little and she wanted to get with me from what i heard but didnt even go there. Stopped talking a little, then when me and Claire got cool and i was being her wingman. Bev and me talked again and were cool, but i stopped it because she was a hypocrite on things and that totally turned me off and when me and Claire stopped talking. Claire and Bev were still cool, so i pretty much cut it out with both of them. I think it was known i didnt like her and she didnt like me back.
I avoided her at all friggin cost. But stupid Lugo, who didnt know anyone in High School. haha jk he did, but he didnt know everyone like i did. Anyways, he went up to her and started talking and Bev knew he was my homie. I dont know how, but it totally brought me back to high school, where everyone knew my business, and was always up in it. I guess the conversation went this and that, and Orlando said something about yeah you know Anh right and she said yeah and i caught a look she gave and he was like Anh knows everyone here and she was like yeah. I swore she was gonna make a comment but it was whatevers. I just went back to dancing.
Speaking of dancing. I went inside and didnt meet Andrew's mom yet. Granted i havent talked to Andrew in ages and i would think he would have forgot me or something. I mean we did have some crazy hackie sack sessions in high school. His was mom was like whos this, is this your friend Andrew. I was freaked out, i would have think he would be like i dont know who the hell this guy is, haha. He was like this is my buddy Anh. She was like im Andrew's mom. i said nice to meet you, and she was all like I saw you were dancing out there, that was some good stuff. I was like uhh i try. She was like no, you are a good dancer. Then i said thanks and walked away. I could have been the cleaver witty Anh and said give me a few more drinks and ill be a way better dancer or the charming Anh and said, why dont you honor me with a dance. HAHA.. i know what i said, but i just walked away. Like really, i think parents love me. Anyone disagree?? I wanna know. I need to get off the parent ego trip and someone tell me their parents dont like me.
The night was pretty much over around 1130ish. For some reason there was a fight between two chicks and i was like what the heck. Everywhere I go with my homies, theres a fight we see or are involved with. Anyways, so we headed off to the Yard House. Of course i drove since i was pretty much the sober one and Orland and Marc were buzzing. We got there around 1230 and it was friggin crackin! Lots of people and such, the typical bar scene with the guys trying to get at the girls and such.
Had a drink and made a couple laps around the place. Started talking to some people. Dude this one girl we were talking to was like 6 7 or something. She was friggin tall as hell and her friend. Man she looked like she was 30. HAHA. I got complimented on my style, the clothes and glasses. I was trying something somewhat new, but i havent been out out the way i usually dress in a long time and it was hella nice. Im not going to lie, i love it when people compliment me on my style, i work hard on it, work hard to make it somewhat unique and its nice to get reconnigation for it.
Again, is it me? is it me and my friends? But we were checking out this chick who was pretty cute and the dude she was with finishes his beer and walks over to the table we were sitting at and put his glass down all hard and shit. Hella mean muggin, we were like what the fuck. I was gonna say something or throw his glass at his feet. I didnt have enough to drink and im trying this new thing of not starting shit, keeping the anger level down, and just being the passive guy i usually am. So we just finished our drinks, i had a mohito!! first one and it was decent, but i was prett much liquerd out and we all left at 2.
Dropped off Marc and headed off to Dennys with Orlando. Ok we got there, and there was someone who got dropped off in a green jacket. Then Orlando was all like dropped me off here, ill get a table. I soo knew what he was doing. I thought it was Liz, and he wanted to go chat with her. He was pretty much talking to her all night and danced with her and i know he was feeling her. I dont blame him, i did back in the day and i could again.
Parked the car and walked in and then i noticed it wasnt Liz. It was friggin Cynthia. Dude, talk about ackward! She was pretty much Orlando ex and such. We all hung out a lot but she kinda turned me off with her brash personality and bluntness. However she is a very good looking chick. Good lips, wore glasses and really pretty eyes. And another thing she has going, first of all i do censor certain things from my site and others i dont. Just some FYI. Cynthia has pretty huge knockers with a small frame. Anyways, We all caught up with each other. What made me laugh is that she was greening green jacket with yellow and Orlando was wearing a green shirt with a yellow undershirt. I was like this is so funny, they were meant for each other. She couldnt stopped saying Good Times and this and that and bla bla bla. I couldnt stop staring at her eyes, but i did because i was tired and my contacts were hella killing. I felt the tension between them and it was very funny to watch. Then she said something like i have a bone to pick with you to Orlando. HAHA. Nice!! Last we heard about her is that she had a baby with someone. I always tease Orlando saying that he could have been his. Who knows, i really wanted her and Melanie who she was with to leave. Orlando kept trying to have them stay. Really really funny. Hes going to call her and see what the bone is and i really want to hear it.
After they left, i went back into the mood i was on Wednesday, but minorly. I was wondering how she was doing and wondering if shes ok. She it would be soo much better if she just would say either fuck off or just say she doesnt care anymore. It would be totally great! Anyways, headed home around 3 and passed out. Another weekend bites the dust.
Sunday
Didnt do shit all day. Watched Supersize me and the Notebook. Ill have a review on Supersize me soon. Watched the Super bowl and thats about it. I had the chance to go to the Beverly Center but i didnt get the call until 4 ish. Oh well, it would have been nice, but its all good.
My life is getting back on track but do i really want that if i dont have my closest friend with me?

Cinema: The Notebook.
This movie is featured in my featured part of my site. I been waiting to get my hands on this movie for the longest time. It looked like great movie in the Summer of 2004. However i didnt want to check it out without rolling with a chick. That summer i was way too busy to do anything.
Now, i have this movie with me and the DVD is coming out on the 8th. Rachel McAdams stars in this movie. You may remember her in Mean Girls as the head mean queen Regina. However in this movie, you see her softer side and even her acting chops.
The movie seem to jump into the main story rather abruptly. I came into thinking this movie was mainly about Noah and Allie, granted which it is. However there is a underlying story that i did not catch on until quarter into the movie. I dont want to ruin the movie for you, but when you get to that part where you relieze what was going on in the story. You cant help to take a step back and feel sad. Enough about this.
Again that went abruptly, is the relationship between Allie and Noah. They seem to fall in love with each other very quickly. Which kind of takes away from reality for a second. Then again, im sure it happens to some of us.
One part that i found rather odd. Maybe it was just me. The scene where they were going to make love for the first time as it seems. Allie, Rachel McAdams askes Ryan Gosling what he is thinking. If ever someone asked me that especially in that circumstance. I would so be turned off and fall right asleep. However then again, its somethign valid. If i loved someone like that, then i would be concerned. I dont know, a moment that seems usually to be so raw in other movies turned out to be a very sweet moment.
I think i have figured out the recipe of a love story. Boy meets girl. Girl falls for boy. Boy and Girl love each other. Boy and Girl have perfect experiences. Boy is not good enough for girl. Girl parents hate Boy. Boy and Girl break up. Girl falls for another Boy. Boy and Girl find each other again. Boy and Girl live happy. End Story.
Summer love or fun, whatever you wanna call it. Thats a nice thing, but onces it is over. You can get it back. Sucks. Anyways! I talk any more about this movie without ruin it for you. Most of you may not agree to my taste in movies. However, i do like this movie a lot. I am watching it for the second time as we speak. Its a great story of love, lost, and true love. I would recommand then movie if you like tear jerkers or have a special girl who likes tear jerkers.
Are you my penguin?

Whorin: Grammy Awards 2005.
Man o man, im just a little pissed. Why? Back in December i was trying to apply for some press access to this years Grammy Awards on February 13th. I didnt finish my application because i was being nice and putting someelse else first and tried to get a simple information tidbit from my friend. However she just lagged it and man. I didnt care that i didnt get my passes. Heres what they told me.
Credential Request Decline Letter
The Recording Academy® regrets that we are unable to accommodate your media request to cover the 47th Annual GRAMMY® Awards on February 13 in Los Angeles.
Due to extremely limited space within the Media Center, we were able to only credential a small fraction of the hundreds of media outlets that applied.
So i was thinking to myself, oh they didnt have space. But i was thinking to myself and i was like i didnt even finish my application. So i go and email them and see what they say...
Unfortunately the deadline to request credentials was January 30th. For future reference a credential application is posted every year immediately following the nominations press conference.
I WAS FURIOUS!!! The only reason why i am not attending because i was waiting for someone, because i wanted her to go. GOD, this wasnt the only time. JoJo Jam, my friend who was performing got pissed off at me. He pull strings to get me backstage access. However i was late to it because i was waiting for someone. This occurance wasnt her fault, but just made me remember it when i got that letter from the Grammy people. Whatever, maybe next year. I am still trying to attend either as a guest or press member. I have to see whats up with some people and stuff..
Was putting you first worth it in the end?

Whorin: Fun fun at the Museum of Television and Radio.
Ive been going to the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills since my freshman year in college after i was introduced to it in my Television Broadcasting class. I got into it more when i hear about the William S. Paley Television Festival. Last year i went to The OC and Smallville one. However for the Smallville one, i should have gotten press access to it, but there was some miscommunication with the Museum's publicist. Showed up and it was a whole mess, and i was kinda mad because thats my friggin show and shit. However it was all good because i went shopping afterwards and it was all better. HAHA.
Anyways, i contacted the publicist again this year when i heard about Gilmore Girls having a seminar for their 100th episode. Gilmore Girls is a tight show and i wanted to go and check it out and the Paley festival was coming up again and i was like ok why not.
Heres what the publicist sent me, Terry Smith:
January 20th:
I have one press ticket available for you for The Gilmore Girls 100th. And let me know which nights are you interested in for Paley...
I was like, right on. I finally get to talk to Lauren Graham and chatter with Scott Peterson again. Yippee skippy. However its only one press ticket and i tried to get a friend to go with me and purchase a ticket. So i might be doing this solo, which is good practice. I need to stop depending on other people because im usually disappointed, plus i always meet people there anyways.
Heres another email from Terry about the Paley Festival.
February 2:
Anh,
At this time, I can comp one press ticket for Jack & Bobby and Boston Legal and have you on the standby list for Desperate Housewives and Lost.
Right one again! Boston Legal is such a tight ass show. James Spader is one of the best actors on a television series right now, Emmy winning and all. Jack and Bobby is also a good show, not following too much, nonetheless a great drama. NOW! Desperate Housewives, a good looking cast, funny show and very very interesting. Breakout hit of the season, along with Lost. One show i wanna get into, but havent seen an episode just yet. I need to do my research before i go and interview the cast. Or i can just bullshit it.
I will have pictures, reviews of the event, and if i have time and write an article. I will post it up here for ya to check out.
For the full list of shows and to purchase tickets. Go to William S. Paley Festival 2005. Tickets go on sale to members of the Museum tomorrow at 9:00 at Ticketweb.com For the General public is on February 11th.
I am telling you right now from my last experience last year. The popular shows will be sold out before it gets to the general public. My advice? Go on eBay. I can promise you the cost will be the same but if you are a huge fan, of the shows. It is a great experience to hear about the show and see the whole cast together in an intimate, fun, and exciting setting. I will most likely have a few tickets on eBay for bidding.
The second and third week of March is goin to be BUSY!

Anh.Letts: Comedians are sooo deep!
Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.
--Margaret Cho 03-11-04
I totally believe most of this quote. If you stand back and think about the things you hate or dislike about people. Such as grooming habits or just annoying things, stuff like that. Its usually because thats exactly how you are. You tend to nit pick things about other people because you are exactly the same. However this isnt true all the time.
My main pet peeves in people are liars, flakes, and people who dont return calls. I know i dont lie as much as i used to. I really really try not to flake out, but i do sometimes, but not as often. Returning calls, i wanna say i do that but i need to return a call to my friend's dad, that i havent done just yet. Why? Im not totally sure whats going to happen and plus if i knew whats going to happen. I dont think hes gonna like my proposal much. However i will return the call this week? At the lastest will be Monday. I hope.
I do believe certain little things will seem like something so huge. That little thing will feel like a world of difference to you, but no one else will notice. Of course when you change, you want someone to notice it, so it can go acknowledged. However, most of the time it isnt. You find that person that makes you feel that way, and its a warm feeling.

Tube: The Apprentice - Trouble is Brewing
Going into this week. Watching the previews and what not, it looks like someone is goin to quit. Last week when they were doin the renovations of the hotels and what not. Verna couldnt handle it and bitched bitched and bitched. I am predicting right now that she is the one that is going to "quit" Its 9:01 and we shall see...
Ok, its 9:03 and she is still bitching and moaning. Give me a fuckin break. However, Danny is a nice guy and backing her up and what not, but im not too sure about her anyways.
Thinking about it now, she could be playing this game. Get some sympathy, she how she can do, and just not get fired.
9:06. SHE IS GONE!!! PEACE OUT!!! I WONDER HOW SHE GOT ON THE SHOW ANYWAYS!! DEAD WEIGHT! FUCKIN DEAD WEIGHT!
Creating marketing campaign with 75000 for Nefcafe Taster's Choice... Sounds fun! I wanna handle that much money doing something. Oh wait.. I already kinda do. HAHA!
Danny is Magnacorp's project manager. Mike with the European idea, and no one liked it. I would say its a decent idea.
Net Worth is going with the All American Theme. Angie is their project manager. Shes a little crazy and gonna be way way bitchy. Right off the bat, i think Net Worth is gonna bite it. Well acutally both team is gonna have trouble in each. I mean the episode name is Trouble is Brewing. Which plays on some words.
Sidenote, Stephanie on Magnacorp is fione!! YUM YUM!
iPod idea is hella tight for Magnacorp! I friggin got 2 iPods when i was in NYC because i always wanted to and dude like everyone did have an iPod. I love NYC life, walking everywhere, enjoying a drink, the people.. I miss NYC!!!!!
At first i thought Net Corp idea kinda sucked. But it looked hella fun, and looked hella nice. I take it back. Man, 10gs, that would be hella nice.
WAIT WAIT!! Theres a black guy on the show?? Dude, havent really noticed him at all. Just caught a glimpse of him at the line up to see who will win.
9:31, i agree is the decision. It was a great great idea! Loved it.
Award of the task. 12 seater helicopter. Around Manhattan. I am going to do that one day, that and Vegas and Mani. Love it!!
9:39. looks like Magnacorp is going to try to see if they can have Donald Trump overturn Mikes exemption. Which is dearly needed because he was an ass the whole task. But to be fair, it shouldnt has happen.
Danny, Stephanie, and Mike are in the boardroom. Useless blabble. Mike shouldnt be in there. Well i mean he should but theres friggin rules and such.
I dont know what else happened. I switched over to Ashlee Show because i missed it and such.. so yeah? Next week? someone tell me whats up.
Starbucks anyone??

Anh.Letts: Distance vs. Reality.
"Distance lasts a day. But reality lasts a lifetime." -- Dr. Laura Schlessinger
You can sooo take this many many different ways. When i read it, i took it as something dealing with a relationship or something. Not too sure, its a little obscure. Im just goin to leave it like that.
Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? or make the mind go wander?

Whorin: Miss Ashlee Simpson.
Ashlee Simpson, what can you say about her. She is a pretty chick who lip syncs? Well at the time it happened it was funny, but here more about what was the deal and catching the premiere of the second season of her show. I do believe her and all that stuff. I mean Britney Spears does it all the time, and she hasnt got as much heat as Ashlee has.
Anyways, so she is finally goin on tour which i dont think is a good idea since her voice started goin out when her ablum finished. The strain of being on the road and singing night after night will kill her voice. Dont know how shes goin to do, but good thing her second concert is in Los Angeles, so at least i will hopefully see her best somewhat.
So i decided to contact her publicist, because i want to check her out and maybe get some hook ups to chatter with her some. I had her publicist info from Jingle Ball and i thought i use it. My friend is friends with her and Jessica, but i dont need to be dropping names and shit. So i contact her publicist and heres what i got in response. First thing, this isnt her publicist that contacted me. Must be her East Coast rep or whatever. Not too sure.
Hi,
Thank you for your recent request to interview Ashlee Simpson. Unfortunately, due to an already oversubscribed schedule she is unavailable for an interview at this time. Should anything change, I will be sure to contact you. Thanks again.
Best,
Cheryl
I mean, thats nice Cheryl. You will contact me to talk and interview her. I didnt want to interview in her in the first place. However that would be cool i guess? I just want some tickets to check her out and some press perks at the concert. My friend sister birthday is coming up and maybe i can get her to meet her or something. Who the heck knows.. I emailed back wondering about the concert and tickets and hopefully it is doable and stuff. If not, i guess im not goin to see her this time. Already kinda seen her twice and yeah.. who knows.. ill keep ya posted..

Wire: Bush is sticking it up our you know what again..
Electronic Frontier Foundation, who is the prime group who are protecting us against the govenerment stepping all over our digital right in this electronic age is at it again. Heres a little excerpt.
Washington, DC - Today the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the FBI and other offices of the US Department of Justice, seeking the release of documents that would reveal whether the government has been using the USA PATRIOT Act to spy on Internet users' reading habits without a search warrant.
Do they have to tell us anything? No. Why? Do to the Patriot Act that was passed shorty after September 11th, to "protect" the general people from terrorism. Which can also double as the government to watch our every move on the internet without proable cause or anything. Read more on the Patriot Act and after you are done reading it, tell me if that little thing this country was based upon, the Consitution cough means anything.
Read more about what the EFF and article stating how the DOJ and FBI will not answer a simple question, Can the FBI Monitor Your Web Browsing Without a Warrant?

Life: free sex?
Ok, you know them bracelets with the colors and such? Like those ones where you cross them or whatever? Well i been semi looking for them for a long as time and i was at Ontario Mills yesterday shopping and such and they had a good ass deal at Zumiez. It was like buy 2 get 2 for free and they were already cheap. So i picked them up, got black, red, light blue, and clear.
So today, I look up online for something. Well i was looking on style to wear it and such. Yeah i know its gay but yeah. I then google the bracelets and of course.. Something had to come up, i guess it seems that these bracelets and these colors are suppose to represent some sort of sexual inneundo. At Sex Bracelets.com, there are certain meanings and acts to the colors. It ranges from the innocent hug to the full on thing and everything in between. I am wearing blue and black at the moment. You can click on the link and see what they mean. So i guess its some sort of game called "Snap", theres an article at CNN, granted it is 2 years old. I still found it interesting. So if you are wearing these bracelets, you could be putting something out there you dont want to. Just make sure no one is trying to break your bracelet, or you 2 could be doing something you might not want to be doing.
If you are wearing these bracelets, you most likely are wearing the black one, which means, sex. Just some food for thought. Am I going to stop wearing these? Cmon what do you think? However i am goin to wear whatever color i want even if it represents something a little too whatever or something. I like it and thats all that matters.. WHOOP WHOOP!!
I got 4 black bracelets on, who wanna snap them?? and i got like 50 more at home. :)

Life: overprices.. but theres a cost for it... haha..
yeah ok.. whoever said beauty isnt cheap is friggin right. i cant believe how much the combined total of the hair product i got. I havent had a car for awhile for most of you already know that. So i havent been using any styling product and i been using my little bros gel. Ok, gel is wack and like the queer eye guys say, its so 80s. I dont like how it makes my hair look and feel anymore, and i havent spiked my hair for about 2 years.. So i been using pomade and fiber. The American Crew shit that goes a friggin long ass way and such. That shits been running me kinda high but its all good. So i decided to try some new stuff. I heard from some one this bed head wax and paste stuff is good to use and like makes your hair like nice and shit. So i go and pick some of the stuff up.
Ok now, what sucks?? Bed Head who is apart of TIGI, i look for the product and it doesnt even go by wax or paste. Its like all this weird ass names like Manipulator or cool stick. I mean cmon now.. Jeeze.. So im there staring at the products with help from all the chicks in the store, like sayin this is good for your hair and this and that and that and this.. I was focusing on the bed head shit and i ended up just getting the bed head shit that looked like that stuff i wanted and when i came to the check stand. The total ended up being 60 bucks. Ok thats the more than i pay for my haircut. Granted when me and jovana go get our hair done in la, its goin to run 200 to 300 bucks but still. Right now, i dont got dough to drop on hair shit, when i got a trip to vegas planned soon and the cost of that is goin to suck. WHat sucks even more is that im not sure if i am goin to vegas anyways.. oh well. we shall see, and tomorrow if my hair doesnt turn out what i think i it should look like. I am goin to be disappointed and good thing i got my Crew Fiber, so not too much worries!
Shop til you drop!

Anh.Letts: Gotta have faith!! -- George Michaels
"Faith is hopeful ignorance."
Isnt that the truth? I mean cmon, having faith for something, generally something that isnt attainable or even what you would call physical. You are beliving in something that cannot be proved. Im sure the first thing you thought when you read the word faith is god. Believing in god, this higher power. However their are two sides to this debate, there is no physical proof about this higher power, but there is this book written on his word/life as experienced and told by Jesus to his followers. There's this verse in the Bible ive read, that said something to the affect of if you need to question his presense or if hes real, then something else. I cannot recall, i have to check my Bible for the exact quote.
Aside from the religious connotations, just everyday things. You gotta have faith you will get the job or that you will get into that college. Just hoping for something you cannot control or do not know anything about.. However faith is what usually keep us going in this harsh cruel world. Which leads me to something that has been said way too often and a good cliche, but fits the mood of this entry.
"Ignorance is bliss."
