07.10.06: my future best friends

so a couple weeks ago, i was forced to study with a *my future best friends!*


everyone was enjoying themselves....


giggling and all that good stuff...


except me.

my ankle still looks like its swollen? thats not good..




then everyone decided to buy skittles...


and everyone giggled some more...


except me...


then the *amazingly smart* girl in red decides to eat all the pink skittles at once...


then he decides to race her with the blue ones...


naturally, the girl lost. men > women.


right before she was about to explode. she began foaming at the mouth right after this...


thats what a glob of skittles look like...

highlight of the night.
girl in the red: *with the skittles in her mouth* i can't *gasp* breath! *gasp* can't *gasp* help *gasp* me!

all of that occurred the summer after freshmen year. here is a picture from my senior year with my same two friends.

as you can see here. our study habits have not changed much.
i think my next post will detail more on this night.

also. this is how much my family loves watermelon.

i did not have any of the coke.

mm, thanksgiving break was good but short. i stayed good. except for my spending which was out of control and bad. i don't want to talk about it right now. also i'm too tired to update so i'm out. gotta work off that thanksgiving dinner. have a super sunday!

my weekend of goodness + things that annoy me + greatest hits

this weekend i had 0 alcohol. however, to make up for my lack of alcohol, my body decided to eat away its sadness. for instance, on friday, i worked out for 4 hrs after work (so good!). from 6-10 i was playing ball and working out. and then to compensate for this ultra goodness, i decided to order 20 dollars worth of food. for myself.

yum.

on the second day of goodness, i completed my promise to myself to start reading again. i read a lot over the summer and since getting a job, i've basically stopped. so i got myself a couple books, found a nice little bench and read.

unfortunately, fast food nation got me a little hungry.. so i got a mcchicken and a double cheese for a little mid-reading snack. aren't these fast food books supposed to make people never want fast food again? clearly, this is not the case. mcdonalds should thank eric schlosser for the free marketing.

"the dark side of the all-american meal" is delicious.

today, i had waffle house for dinner. don't judge me. it was not my idea. never allow a taiwanese to choose where to eat dinner.

and now, an installment of "things that annoy me" and "greatest hits."

things that annoy me: twilight. i cannot stand this preteen crap that prohibits me from shopping at the mall because every parking space is filled with carloads of preteen girls waiting to see this craptasitic movie. sigh. and men's health, i love your magazine. but seriously, if you ever put another twilight member on the cover i will cut you. well, if you do have this guy on your cover, at least show his muscles. of which he does have a lot of, i was very impressed. i give credit where credit is due.

i wish twilight and harry potter would die.

greatest hits, vol 4.

01.03.06: baby jesus

my grandfather just told me i used to sleep in a manger with straw and a cow and manure.
i was such a privileged child.

wait, does this make me baby jesus?

02.12.06: michelle kwan drops out of the olympics.

omg, the worst possible thing that could happen has happened...
michelle kwan has dropped out of the olympics because of a groin injury. wow.

i remember watching her during the nationals when they had them in atlanta. even though i had to sneak into the rink like the ninja that i am, it was amazing. i knew after watching her skate, i was in love. and now she can never reach her goal of olympic gold. :(. unless she tries again in 2010. highly improbable, but possible. she'd be 29. maria butyskaya won the worlds when she was 27...

i wish nancy kerrigan had her kneecap blown off instead of just simply injured so michelle coulda skated the 94 olympics.
or tara lipinski got ********** (redacted for fear of losing my job).
i also wish mrs. hughes (sarah and emily hughes' mom) got punched in the baby maker when she was pregnant so michelle woulda had a better chance at gold.
i hate them all. and i hate the new judging system. and the french for messing up the previous judging system.

by far, this is going to be the worst birthday ever. :(.

excuse me while i cry...

how can u not cry with after looking at this picture.

i miss michelle.

04.06.06: csa basketball tournament

ok, so csa put up pictures of the basketball tournament. and i decided to put some up with my usual modifications. with these pictures, you can probably figure out why we lost...

so its us 3 asians vs the 3 black kids. we also had a big white boy on our team. the africans had some asian guy on their team.

i think maybe first play of the game. defensive player of the year.

way to pass to the wrong team.

y am i falling? nobody is even touching me...

here i am again. falling. and no one is touching me. this black kid is already better than me.

no comment needed.

no comment needed.

again. no comment needed.

no comme..wait. maybe. i suck at basketball. yea, thats a good comment.

mm, box out much?

yep. that's how much i suckkk....

at least i don't suck as much as this guy...

04.26.06: i hate the georgia institute of technology.

i hate the georgia institute of technology.

my best post ever. 15 comments, 26 eprops. word.

and that's all i've got for now. hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. until next time, stay safe and study hard.

i am culturally sensitive.

many people tend to think i am racist and judge things on their race without giving them a fair chance. this is not true. i am always willing to give everyone a fair chance. however, it just turns out that i end up hating their cuisine, culture, customs, etc. for instance, a few days ago i went to TWO different african restaurants and gave them both a fair chance. i went in with an open mind and it just so happened that i did not enjoy either of their foods.

the first restaurant was called desta ethiopian kitchen. now, when my friends mentioned that they wanted to try ethiopian food, i thought to myself, "wtf. are we eating dirt and roots?" for the uncultured, ethiopia has consistently had famines throughout their extensive history. and so i just think that we are able to eat their food when they are unable. how's that for being culturally sensitive.

a very old culture, they still use hieroglyphs. desta means happiness. i, being culturally curious, asked the waitress.

anyways, going into the restaurant, i wasn't very excited. nor was i happy with the fact that they eat with their hands and don't use utensils. but i still went into this restaurant with an open mind. my fear of this restaurant soon went away as i looked through the menu.

why, yes. i am a meat lovers. i am ready to eat.

so we got tibs for our table. which are these things you see here.

mmmm. tibs.

so these tibs are delicious.. but... my meal was ruined by two things. the lack of utensils meant that we were forced to eat everything with this.. "bread" also known as injera. thank you wikipedia.

it is like a sponge of disgusting.

and the other thing you should NEVER ever get.

i believe the menu said "one of ethiopia's most cherished dishes." this is the nastiest thing in the world. i dont even have anything witty to say about it. it is just the worst thing i have ever had my whole life.

and so i left this place unsatisfied. if they had given me the tibs and a knife and fork, i would have been very happy. however, being unsatisfied, i looked for somewhere else to eat. and being culturally sensitive, i decided that i was down to go to another african restaurant.

love me some popeyes.

now that's what i'm talkin' bout.

but while this food was better than the former, i'm actually not that big a fan of fried chicken. it is delicious when i eat it. however, afterwards i always want to die. it is the worst. i need to stop.

so there. two instances that i gave african cuisine a chance and both left me with a bad taste in my mouth. but i will keep going to random restaurants because i am culturally sensitive like that.
until next time, have a super saturday and a wonderful weekend.

a new era of superstrongjohn...

began last week. or maybe it was the week before. well, it began whenever i got my camera in the mail. for those of you that know me i am quite possibly the biggest camera whore in the world. and now that i have a small point and shoot that i can carry everywhere, i will be taking pictures all the time for my pleasure and enjoyment. and maybe for yours as well.

the pictures will be much more frequent aaaand of higher quality. for instance, remember my perky nips post? and how i complained about the quality of the picture and how it didn't do it justice to my nips? well, bam. no more.

just one of the added benefits to having a better camera.

so yayy for my new camera. i was so excited when it came in the mail that i rushed to the store to get a mem card. and took a picture of the first thing i could think of.

yes, i am a horrible photographer.

after that horrific picture, i went to this lovely place called..

or what i like to call, the place i want to die at.

it was my first time at this restaurant and i must say it was quite enjoyable. if you've never been there before, you should go. although, before you do. you must be sure to prepare. bc they give you a test right when you walk in the door.

seriously, this is one of the hardest tests i've ever taken.


just look how confused we are.


here are my final answers. i made a mistake in step 3.5. that was a toughie.


but its all good. i'm gonna have to say i scored a 95. my sauce wasn't that great.


diet


fail

.

and that is how i spent my first day with my camera. since then i stopped taking pictures and haven't even blogged much. all i want to do these days is..

ptfo.

but no worries. my faveeee GL is coming!

let the picture taking begin.

but then, my other faveeee GL is leaving...

can we go back?

so these next few weeks will be happy and sad. but they will also be good. i will be good. for real. this new era of superstrongjohn will include 0 partying. 0 drinking. 0 going to events where people throw up on my shoes. 0 eating bad food. and 0 having bad food eaten off of me. i mean.. what?

before i leave.. a little anecdote from work..
CEO guy: hey steve, can you email me that file?
me: ...
CEO guy: steve? *walks to my cube, stares at nametag
me: ...
CEO guy: john? can you email me that file?
me: sigh, yes masta.

at first i thought steve was this guy that was going to replace me. so i freaked out. but then i found out there was another guy at our company named steve. who happened to be asian. so at least he's not replacing me... sigh, this new era of superstrongjohn still includes much failure.

how much failure? i was given one free month of netflix movies by a friend. that one month just ended last week. how many movies did i watch? 1.5 movies. that's how much fail is in my life. seriously, one month of free movies and i can only get through one and a half?!

and this failure is why i am 0-1 in my basketball league. word. more on that later. maybe.
until then, have a marvelous monday...
