OMG how pethetic can people in this world be....
A few days ago I saw this guy driving a OLD ass toyota truck. The dumb ass had a Infinity decal placed in the bottom right hand corner of his truck, on the back. INFINITY!!!! I mean... if he is gonna do that he should atleast take the words TOYOTA off the back of his truck. But still... any one would know that it isnt a Infinity so WHY?

Moved in....

Well I am pretty much all moved into my apartment. Just a few more loads of little things left to get. Thanks to CPL Lee, Hsing, Jeff, Chung and Erwin for helping me out. Saved me a lotta work and made moving a little faster. School starts for me at the end of Aug and I'm kinda wondering what its gonna b like. I wont know n e one here at CSUN and plus im comming in as a junior. This new part of my life is either gonna suck like hell or be great. With my luck well... I wont jinx it so nevermind.

Xterra is in the hospital...
I got into a car accident infront of my house 2 weeks ago. FKED UP. Lost my whole back window and there was bumber and body damage. EST came out to be about 3Gs.... sucks to be me.

AT....

Tomorrow is the last day of AT and I go home! finally. Today my gunnery sergent called me into his office and told me that I am being put up for an award... possibly a medal for the work I have done here that last 2 weeks.

2003-06-11T19:02:00.000-07:00

Ok a real post.....

Sorry I have not been posting for the last month but I have been too damn busy. NOW.... TIME TO SHARE AND VENT!!!

Part I

I went to Vegas 2 weeks ago with hsing and the guys. It was fun for the 1st day. Then ALL DOWN HILL...... WTF 11 blacks in a row. Son of B@#$! lets just say Dan wasnt lucky this time in vegas. We ALL lost MUCHO $$$.

Part II

OMFG! I'm 24! Shit... this can't be good. I remember when I just turned 16. I noticed how my life has changed in the past few yrs and all i have to say is, it is getting boring. We took advantage of all the time we all had to spend with eachother when we were all younger and now we barely see eachother. Well n e ways, I spent my BDay in my hotel room with a Marine buddy of mine and we just watched a movie and drank some beers. I wish I was back home with my friends and family but life isnt always fair and plus I joined the Corps, all part of the job I guess.

Part III

WTF is AT???
Every year as most of you know I go on active duty. Well this yr I am doing my 2 weeks of active duty with my squadron at Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton. My unit as mosta u all know is Marine Air Group 46 Detachment Alpha, Helicopter Marine Light Attack - 775 (HMLA-775), 4th Marine Air Wing. My main job in the Marines is logistics embarkation specialist. WTF does that mean? Basically I know how to properly load shit onto ships and planes. Sounds easy right? Wrong! There is a lot that goes into this job, certain aircrafts can only hold so many LB of gear, some larger aircarfts can hold up to 2 cobras and/or huies. etc........ These 2 weeks have been long because we had to get caught up on all of our annual recertifications just to be Marines. We all know I did the rifle range again last month. These past 2 weeks I have been gassed, drowed and ran like there was no tomorrow. On Sunday we had our annual physical training and needless to say this was the worst I have ever done. Due to my fked up ankle I have not been able to run over 1.5 miles with out great pain and in this test I had to run 3 miles. After our physical test we all got bussed to the GAS CHAMBER. Here we were issued our gas masks and we took turns 15 at a time to enter the chamber. The idea of is to make sure that we know how to use our gas masks and also to gain trust in them. The gas they used is CS gas, fking thing burns ur skin and you dont wanna even think about trying to breath it in. It feels like you have hot sauce all over your face and you eyes and nose water up like a mofo. On Monday we had to do our swin qual. Here we had to practice jumping off a 5 story tower, tread water for 4 min and do some tactical swimming. Along with all this shit we still had to come back to work everyday since the 1st of june... AND I MEAN EVERYDAY. I get up every morning at arounf0515 and on days that we have training we have to get up at around 0400. Cant wait till sat. jun 14th... I GO HOME. AT WILL B OVER.

Part IV

SCHOOL....

Well people... I finally got back on track with my school. I got my AA (uselss shit) but atleast that knocked all the GEs outta the way. I also am leaving PCC. I was excepted to Cal State Northridge for Buis. Mang. with Acct. I will be comming in as a junior. After getting fked over by UCR I didnt think I was gonna get into Northridges Buis Dep because ppl told me that it was a really good school for buis. You all may have heard me talk about CSU Fullerton because that was my forsure back up school. Looks like I dont have to go there n e more! Now I just cant let what happend at cal poly pomona happend again here. 2 yrs or less is what the school told me I have left to grad. I have to do this right now.

Part V

SWAT

I met up with the leader of Pasadena Swat teams sniper unit. The guy and I talked alittle and he said that he would help me join their team as a sniper once I get outta the Corps. How I met him was through a hook up. I have been thinking about this for a while know and I still dont know what to do.

Part VI

Duty....

How the hell do I have all this time right now to write all this junk? I got stuck as duty driver tonight. That means from 0700 this morning to 0700 tomorrow I will be here at the unit sitting on my ass and keeping watch. If a officer needs a ride then Im the bitch that has to drive him. It isnt that bad though because the duty NCO has to watch over the barracks and thats some boring shit. Here I get to watch movies and play my playstation.

Well... thats about all I have to say right now. There was some drama that happend down here. I'll post that shit when I get back. But I will give you ppl an idea of what the drama is. Has to do with girls in the damn military and how they bitch all the time.

This is Corporal Chen.... signing off.

Annual Training...

Talk about a long 2 weeks. Today is Monday of the 2nd week of AT. So much stuff has gone down last week. I dont have much time right now so I'll have to leave the details for when I have time. Just wanted you all to know that I'm still alive and I will keep making new posts.

2003-04-28T17:48:00.000-07:00

Base...

I went to base this past weekend. I had to get up at 2am to get to base on time. We had to get into formation by 5am, we went to the rifle range to do our annual shooting qualification. Sat. was our practice day and sunday was our qualification day. I did rather well on sat during practice but sunday I almost go fked over. 25-34 points it a marksman (lowest award), 35-39 is a sharpshooter, and 40+ is a expert (highest award). At the 200 yard line we have to fire 15 rounds in 20 min, 5 in the sitting, 5 in the kneeling and 5 in the standing. I got 4 outta 5 dead center which was 2 points each sitting, I got 1 on the black but not in the center so it was only worth 1 point. In the kneeling I got 2 dead center and 3 in the black. The standing is my worst position and I only got 2 in the black and 3 missed. At walked off the line at this point with 18 points outta a possible 30 points. Most Marines still dont do this well but I wasnt very happy with my standing. This is the only real money maker because only during this line of fire do we have a chance to have 2 points a shot.

The next set of firing was rapid fire, 10 rounds, at the 200 yard line kneeling. We had to load 2 mags of 5 rounds each, during my rapid fire I got a dud round on my 6th round. This made me totally loose my concentration and I was supposed to get a redo since it was a dud round but the fking Sgt. wouldnt give it to me. My command wasnt very happy about this and there was a argument going on with my superivisors and the range personel. At the end there was nothing we can do about it and I was scored with 4 hits outta 10 possible. Now i am walking off the line with only fking 22 points.

I was in deep shit because I was scoring rather low and I can only afford to loose 7 rounds outta the 25 rounds I have left.

We went to the 300 yard line 5 round slow fire at the sitting. I scored 3 hits out of 5 and now that got me really nervous. This now means that I can only miss 5 rounds now. Im stuck with 25 points and i have 20 rounds left. We loaded up 2 mags of 5 rounds and we started the rapid fire at the prone. I had to calm the fk down and just shoot how I was trained to. I did my rapid fire and I scored a 10 outta 10. All rounds hit, I was the only one on the range that made such a grouping. Bunch Marines in my section were all yelling and I was like FK YEAH! This now gave me a chance to get back into the game.

We went to the 500 yard line and we have 10 rounds left. All I needed to do was to make 5 rounds in the back in 10 min in the prone. I fired only 9 rounds with one round left over. I scored 7 hits and at the end of the day my final score was 42. I made it as a expert, my 3rd consecutive award. I looked back at the fking Sgt. that wouldnt let me get that reshoot at the 200 yard line, he prob didnt think I can make it as expert but fk him I did it.

2003-04-22T04:11:00.000-07:00

Alright... How well do you ppl know me?

I got this from Jeff's blog. Go to my AIMSN and look at my profile. Take the test to see how well do you know me. IF YOU DIDNT KNOW ALREADY... My AIM SN is "AsianUSMC"

2003-04-16T04:34:00.000-07:00

Paintballing....

FK.... its Wend. already and I can still barely stand up and sit down. Last sat, as u know if u read my message board on the right, we went paintballing. I did ok, got a few kills every game. Kinda weird how high my expectaions are from other ppl just cuz imma Marine. We kicked ass at the start of the day but a few games later my team kept getting waxed. I was always the last one to die too, evade and defend. Erwin, Ken and some other guys from UCLA that i dont know were on my team. The UCLA guys on my team sucked! They kept getting killed at the start of the game and it completely opened my flank. Almost every game that I was killed in I was shot in the damn back. After our flank gets taken we usually end up surrounded and I admit my shot is pretty good and Im able tp put up a good fight. But Im no Rambo. I had a few good games where I took out almost the whole other team. Blaise learned that he must remember to put his cup on next time. check this out.....

BlaiseKuo: are you sore all over
AsianUSMC: fk yeah!
AsianUSMC: u?
BlaiseKuo: haha yeah i can barely sit up
AsianUSMC: my upper legs... killing me
AsianUSMC: i cant walk up stairs or squat
BlaiseKuo: got a few scrapes too and of course bruises
AsianUSMC: its just my upper legs... but it hurts
AsianUSMC: i can barely squat up to wipe my ass when i shit
BlaiseKuo: hah
BlaiseKuo: my back and arms are sore too
BlaiseKuo: not use to holding up a gun
BlaiseKuo: haha so sometime we should all go again
AsianUSMC: naw the rest of my body is fine
BlaiseKuo: oh yeah i also should have worn my cup, one time i dont wear it i actually got shot in the dick
AsianUSMC: HAHA u got shot there yesterday!?
BlaiseKuo: yeah first game at close range
BlaiseKuo: like from 6 feet
AsianUSMC: lol
AsianUSMC: stop talking.... im laughing so hard its hurting my leg
BlaiseKuo: yeah it wasn't too bad, i think a ball shot would be worse
AsianUSMC: so it hit the dick not the balls?!
BlaiseKuo: the main man

Can we say ouch?! LOL Well n e ways at about 1/2 way through the day we decided to change the teams to Arcadia VS UCLA. Me, Blaise, Kevin, Ken, Scott and Erwin made up the Arcadia team. It was 6on 6 and we kicked ass. The UCLA guys only had 2 decent players, all other others were just walking targets. Blaise and Kevin was pretty good at forward movments and Scott would follow them in the rear as close cover support. Ken and Erwin stuck close together to watch our other flank erwin start to hold the middle of the field. I moved up on the middle but in the rear so that I can get a good field of view on the battle field and tell everyone where to move and if they are about to get shot at and from what direction. This "team" work was very effective because the guys didnt have to look to see the enemy. I pretty much told them exactly where they were at and that way they dont stick out their heads and look around. They can just peak out the right direction and fire right away. By the end of the day my voice was almost gone from yellin and my legs felt like jello. Still does today, I have to push off the tub to squat up and whipe my ass after a shit still. LOL... feel like a old man.

Jeff....Jeff....Jeff......

HEHEHE This past sunday Jeff called me when I was still in ZZZZzzzzz land. He tells me that he is like 5 min from my house and that he is gonna come over. Why??? He needed my help and some tools that I got here to help him.... "impress" a girl. He arranged for her to come over and for US to install her relays for her headlights. After we finished with that she decided to go buy a head unit and have me install it. Talk about out of no where....... we rushed to best buys and got a sony CD player. It was pretty nice and it was only $139.99 We were hungry and we installed the headunit. Afterward we decided to go eat. Jeff said Tops burgers and she said she wanted pasta. Jeff gave right away and we went to Olive garden. That girl eats a lot!..... but I gotta say she does have a nice figure... hmmmm MAYBE THAT IS because she is 19 and still growing! Yes i said 19. that is 5 yrs younger than me.... EWEWEWEW younger then my sister. Jeff wont admit to me that he likes her yet he talks about her to me sometimes and he asks me "should I hit it?" DOOOOD WTF kinda question is that? if someone that really doesnt wanna hit it, they wouldnt ask such a question. I told him dood... i dunno... she is only 19.

Doesnt this story remind u of an old JEff post?... dont remember? can we say AMY?

Why doesnt jeff EVER admit when he likes a girl. OMFG... so HS. like her.. admit it if u want input. Telling ppl that u dont like someone and always askin what we think of them is very.... not normal. JUST ADMIT THAT U LIKE TEENS.

2003-04-07T02:10:00.000-07:00

Hmmm.... Robber?

I just had another weird experience.... I went outside a few min ago to grab a gatorade and when I went out there I saw a shadow move really fast to the side of my house. I ran back inside to my room and grabed my M4, I was back out there in about 15 sec. I now leave my M4 loaded but with a lock on it. The lock has a quick release trigger that is hidden and can only be opened if certain things are pressed. Today I found this function very usefull since I was able to grab my M4 and take the lock off and get back outside in less that 15 sec. I then started my clear and sweep tactic and with a round loaded into the chamber and the rifle still on safe. I started to walk toward the side of the house but it was dark as fk. As I cleared the area I saw that one of our empty trash cans that are next to the back door was knocked down. I'm not sure if my dog did it or someone else. I really dont think it was my imagination when I saw that shaddow cuz I could have swore I heard something too. But the thing is, I live in fking Arcadia, breakins dont happend that often here and plus a few lights in the house was one. I dunno, my car never got fked with. All in all it woulda been a funny scean if I found someone there cuz i was in my boxers. LOL

Movie Review....

Phone booth: I just watched Phone Booth tonight with Jeff, Amy, Jack, Prima, Chung and Hiroko. Mosta the move just took place in one place...take a wild guess where. Musta been a EZ movie to shoot, since they dont have to go to a buncha different places. The story line was ok but also kinda gay since the main thing was just about him cheating on his wife. SHUT UP.... I didnt give away the movie, the trailers pretty much said that also. Even though the movie took place in one place I thought it was a pretty good.

RATE: 6.0 outta 10
0-3 (sucked)
4-6 (average)
8-9 (Good)
10 (OMFG that was a good movie)

Poker night....

Well another friday night poker over with. We decided to hold this game at my house cuz there was a good amount of ppl that came to play tonight. Looks like the new players like it and said that they would like to comeback and play next friday. I had a good time tonight also and so far my winning streak is still perfect. Havent lost a night yet :o). I wanted to say thanks to Robert, Erwin, Jeff and his GF Mary for commin and tryingout our poker nights. Hsing, Jeff, Chung and I the regular players enjoyed the new company. For those of u that wonder how our poker nights run, here is the run down. $5 buy in and u get $1, .25, .10, .05 and .01 chips. We start our bets at one cent and table max is 1 buck. 5 bucks lasts everyone all night and our games usually go for about 5-6hrs. We have everything from card shoe to a automatic shuffler. We us real casino chips and 5 decks of cards. If your intrested in play just let us know, like Erwin and Robert said, "It is a great way to get together, laugh and talk. It's a cheap way in having fun and it gets u away from all the stresses of work and school." I think that is true cuz Hsing totally forgot that he had a class tomorrow morning at 8AM!!! lol.... sorry Hsing hope u made it to class ok.

April 1st....

Yesterday April 1st was Ray's Bday. As most of u already know, Corporal Raymond Chung is in Iraq. He was one of the 1st ones to leave for there b 4 the war. His main job in the Marines was field communication but since he changed units he is now part of the civil affairs unit. That means that he is the Marines that help deal with the local ppl there that need humanitarian assisitance and also take care and help run the POW camps. He turned 23 this yr and I bet it will be one bday that he will remember for the rest of his life. Happy Bday ray.

MILITARY LAW...

After 5 yrs some of you still do not understand and respect what I say when I say that I can or cannot do whatever due to the military. Some look at my job in the military as just a job that everyone else has. What fking stupid naive minded BS is that!? If you dont go to work ontime does your job have the right to fine you $$ and possibly put you in jail or home arrest for a few days? Does your job tell you what clubs you are allowed to go to when your away from work? Does your job punish you after civilian laws has punished you? When we get a speeding ticket and pay a fine, there is a possiblity that we can get into trouble by our command also. If we get intoa fight and get arrested, there is a great chance that we will be restricted from leaving base for a few weeks. My job in the miltary puts me under 2 forms of the United States law. That means I get punished twice and if I was to do something or go some place that I shouldnt go, it means respect what I do to cover my ass. Wjhat do I mean by respect? It means that if I got to a club that is off limits I would only go with ppl that I feel comfertable with. PPL that I trust that wont do or say something stupid that may get me or us into trouble. Telling me off and how I dont understand my own military laws was a slap in the face. Put yourseld under those laws and maybe you'll fking understand. It sucks yes, but I try my best to follow it because I dont wanna get caught or get busted and if I go someplace and ask you to go, that basically means that I trust ur public conduct. That doesnt mean ask the whole fking world to go and esp with ppl that I dont know or trust in their actions. It's my ass we are talking about, dont like it that just go one ur own. It's never worth the risk for me.

Gulf War Syndrom (GWS)

Some of you may have read Jeff's latest blog entries about GWS and tha 95% of the 1st Gulf war is not there this time. That number should not be very surprising because that war ENDED over 12 yrs ago. Most of the military members that I know that are on their 1st enlistment doesnt intend to stay in. This is from 5 yrs of meeting new Marines. Also retire in the military you need to serve 20 yrs. This means that if old Gulf war soldiers are fighting in this war they must have joined the military in the mid 80's. Higher ranking soldiers generally do not do the fighting and are usually in the operations section on the military. This means that if there was a soldier that joined in the mid 80's he/she must have the rank of atleast SGT and if they are an officer they must have been atleast a Captain at the time of the war. By now they rank much to high to be a field soldier. Also Lance Corporal's and below make about 60-70% of the military. These are usually soldiers on their 1st contract MAYBE the start of their 2nd. Like any other kind of organization you cannot have more leaders than followers. Also with the point that I made that most do not stay for 20 yrs that means that there is less soldiers that would show up of a war 12 yrs later. The U.S. has less than 20% of their armed forces fighting this war right now. I belive that we havent even broken 1/4 mllion soldiers in the thearter yet. Keep in mind that the US Army alone has over 1 million soldiers and I belive they are the largest branch of our military. Marines are the smallest and we have about 40% of our forces there I belive. So it should not be surprising that 95% of the old war vets are not fighting at this war. Also.... I think the US has sent more American soldiers to this war than the last one because we are almost fighting this one solo. That means that from the old war... there are less soldiers there and so the odds that soldiers from then are to go now is very very very small unless you are a Marine of couse since we are so damn small and we make a large number of forces fighting there right now.

So... what does this long ass expanation mean? o.k... break it down EZ man style... Lets say we sent 100 soldiers to fight the 1st war. Take out OVER 65% of them because they chose not to renlist. That leaves about 35 left, now.... it has been 12 yrs since the last war so there must have been ATLEAST 15% of them that retired (I think that that # if really larger). This leaves 20 soldiers left or 20%. We must also take into account that some may have gotten into trouble or died so lets just set that as 1%. So.... this leaves about 19% of US soliders left that can be serving today. Now ALL of them must have picked up the rank of Staff Sergent and higher if enlist and Major or higher if an officer. These are the ranks of leaders and so the odds a large number of them being sent now is small. Yes we do have and need leaders there now but we also have many other operations going on world wide and also there are other places these senior military soldiers are now qualified for since they have the rank and the time in service.

What is the war all about????
Lotta you people have been askin me why are we going to war... some of you guys are taking sides without all the info. I mean both sides. I belive it is ok for a person to take sides on a conflict once they get the facts straight. My take on this war is undecided.

Situtation : In 1992 when the gulf war ended the US gave saddam a choice. Surrender, back off your troops and dissarm. Just like all other wars we gave Saddam that option. If he agreed he would be able to stay in power of Iraq. The UN inspectors went to Iraq after the war and wanted to inspect the countries arsenal and make sure that all weaponds of mass distruction was gone. This means no chemical, biological or nuke warheads. During the 1st inspections the Iraq government ended up kicking out the instpectors and ended the inspection. The UN and the US had all right to strike Iraq then. But instead the governments tried for the last 12 yrs to disarm him diplomaticaly. Since 911 CNN has reported that Saddam has tried to get nukes. During the last inspection empty warheads have been found and there are hundreds of thousands of chemicals missing from Iraqs arenal. If they where destroyed there is no paper work or evidence that prove it was.

Anti-War supporters : They belive that we are invading Iraq for no reason at all and that we are just taking advantage of 911. That is a very narrow minded view of the situation. They ask for more diplomacy, doesnt 12 yrs of diplomacy mean n e thing? But some of their better points are why now? With N. Korea going on and Alfganistan is still not done yet... why now? Why the US? Why can't the UN do it?

Pro-War supporters : They see that the US has tried to talk to Saddam for the last 12 yrs and there is still no result. Intellegence has pointed all fingers that Saddam still has chemical warheads. If the US doesnt do n e thing it will mean that we can be pushed over and our diplomatic policies can be laughed off. Their is alotta politics and moral obligations for this war. After all we did give Saddam a chance to stay in power but he blew it.

My point of view : some of it has been expressed on this post already. I do not think that the US wants to take over coutries, after all we gave Saddam a chance just as we have Japan a chance of WW2. Japan can keep its government and mosta its land as long as it dissarms its military. Japan complied and since then there hasnt been a military problem with Japan. N. Korea hasnt done n e thing directly to threaten the US so i think that isnt worth military attention just yet. Like some ask why now? well... if not now when? When will it be ok? After Saddam gets his hands on nukes and a war would kill even more ppl? Someone has to make a choice on when, their is no realt right time to do something like this. But the fact is that if we wait too long then more ppl would die when it came to war. Would I like to see hard evidence that he has all this? yes... but maybe they do have it but cant show the public yet. Reason is that if they do have it they dont want Saddam to know that we know where his bombs are.

What is ur take on it now?

2003-03-17T01:42:00.000-08:00

Time and friends

PROBLEM: Mosta ya know me well know that I hang around with 3 main groups of friends. Group one is ALL arcadia ppl.... blaise, scott, robert, ect. group 2 is some arcadia ppl and some other from other places... hsing, chung, jeff, mike, ben ect. and my last group some Marines. How often do I kick it with these ppl? not very.... group one was my closest friends since I was little. Group 2 is bits from middle school, HS and college. We all can figure out group 3. These days I dont see group 1 often at all... like once a month. Group 2 I go to school with but not all of them. Some live closer to me and some dont. We dont see eachother ALL the time. Usually its just me, jack, chung and jeff. We dont do too much either but we live so close to eachother that we go out for little things like dinner, working and washing cars together. So far this yr I have had a lot of things going on. I dont too VERY much big events with friends cuz i dont have the time to and everyone also has their own worries to deal with. Shooting has become a little hobby of some of ours and poker night has started. Sometimes we will go out for a major gathering and thats when we rally up the group.

Now after all this... what is the problem? There are ppl that feel as if I am ignoring them and planning things without them. Mosta ya guys dont even feel like that and know that if ur ever bored just call the guys up and see what u can run up. Paul for instance is someone that lives close to us but we dont call all the time for dinner and little things. We know that he is busy and if he was bored he'd call us. My old arcadia friends NEVER whinned about this. We would say.. hey lets plan something and get together and do something and we would. Friends doesnt mean that you must see the person and a daily basis. Friends are ppl that care for one another and would be there to talk to and help. But when one decides to cut the lines of communication or decided to pretend that everything is now ok.... well thats just wrong. It makes a honest friendship hard to maintain. PPL need to understand that when other go out and are all friends they can always call if they are bored. We dont ask ppl that live far away for something small like dinner often. Usually just whoever that is just 5 min away. This yr has been a busy yr for me so far. Getting ready for war, school, and getting all my personal effects inorder for delpoyment. I go to base 2 weekends a month now and I do not have time for everyone. I do as I please and I do not control what others do. If something small is planned and ur skipped for a invite... sorry but it's not n e ones fault... its small and if ur bored then just call and see what we are up 2. Big events we DO call and if ur busy everytime there is a larger gathering it isnt n e ones fault. When I thought all this was over I was not pleased to find out that words are still being said and other ppl are getting dragged into this. Make a note that I DO NOT CONTROL WHO AND WHAT other ppl decide to call. Dont take personal affairs to a work place when you share common co-workers. Esp when the other person isnt even me. No one has n e thing to do with what I do. There are no sides. Hell I dont even know what "Daniel's" side is. Those of u that know what Im talking about already know who it is and what im talking about. I dont wanna point out names to the ones that dont know the problem. But one thing needs to be said... I do not treat u differently from n e one else i know. None of them has ever said that I was siding against them and leaving them out. I tired to talk this over once... and I thought it was over. This is my last time to get the point across. U have been busy a few times when we called for something. I can name a few. The range, I invited u and even gave u directions. I didnt ditch u. U didnt get here on time so i called and gave directions. We didnt have time to be late that day cuz there was too many ppl going and just 1 gun. That means that we needed to get there early so everyone can shoot 100 rounds. I called and called and warned u that time was getting close.... if that was a sence of rushing u or whatever... well... sorry if u take it that way. But when I plan something I plan for the group and I take things into consideration. Out time was limited that day. The other times u had other stuff going on and so u turned us down. And to just to let u think alittle more... what about u? I dont think I even got 1 call for an event from u this whole yr, not that I care so much to start n e thing over it. But thats something u needa think about too. U wanna do something? ok... plan it and invite. its that EZ. We are doing the same as we always have done. The problem that we are having right now is a simmilar one to a old korean person we used to talk to "SCREAM" I sided with u cuz he started to talk shit. He always blamed me for not tellin something on time or whatever, when I infact told him a week ahead, planned things around his working hrs. U needa see the pattern that ur making with ppl u know. U live too far for us to always just drive there and do nothing. Esp when eating and everything else is down here. I dont see the guys every day either. But all this talking behind me and holding the grudge needs to end. The guys u r pulling into this are friends of mine since we started growing up. Dont u think that I will find out? please.... they are not taking sides but they are seeing a problem. We used to say that ur young and still learning... but ur getting older now. U can do n e thing u want now. U needa stop being so emotional about stuff. U seem to always have some kinda drama going on and that itself should tell u thing. U have a pattern of problems that always comes up. U needa start thinking about why is that and stop pointing fingers. I have tried to talk and tried to invite but it isnt getting through to u. Im sorry but this is it. I will leave it up to u to decide what u wanna do. I have to get ready for base again soon and my free time is limited. I can spend no more time trying to fix it cuz I dont even know what the problems is or what "side" as u call it that im claiming. U needa either drop it and lose the bitterness or keep it. It's totally up 2 u now, time to make a adult choice. I dont want u to chose to drop it and be freinds if ur not really gonna drop it. If u have questions just ask. We are not treating u different from other ppl. I cant stress that more. All the other arcadia ppl... post on my message on when was the last time u saw me and how often we kick it. PLEASE... This friend of mine needs to understand. The ball is in ur court.

WHOAAaaaa.... talk about weird... I dunno if im lucky , unlucky or lucky has nothing to do with it....
Daniel WTF are u talking about?

Well.... mosta ya know about my past.... well lets go ALL the way back to HS. Does Catherine To ring a bell? My first GF.... the one i was with for 2 yrs. Well.... I havent seen her nor her parents since 99, after we broke up, and today I ran into her father. We talked alittle and it turns out that they know a lot obout what is going on with me. They knew about audiocavern, they knew that i gotta new xterra, they knew it was black AND they knew that there was a blue marine corps sticker on the back of it. I was like WTF how did they know but her dad wouldnt tell me. Some of ya prob guess Adam prob told them, well thats what i think also. But it was weird.... Im talkin to the man that caught me in the shower with his daughter, HAHAHAHAHA and after Cat and i broke up he found out that we slept with eachother many of times. Yet he was still kewl with me. Man oh man.... our conversation felt like hrs but it was only like 5 min. Talkin to him brought back some old memories and alittle bit of old feelings. I used to be so tight with that family. Till this day i still dont know if it was a waste or a lesson learned... maybe both... but all in all... i always feared that I would run into one of them one day and today was the day. Atleast it was her dad and not her nor her mom. I still think my past kinda sucked and now I just wonder what the future holds. One thing I can say I have learned from her... NEVER let ur feelings come out to a girl untill ur gettin ready to get married, cuz if it crashes it burns and if too much feelings are invested into it.... it burns for a long time.... maybe even forever but alteast the fire does die down.

Weekend...

Sat. I had to go to base and work again. We got our 2nd anthrax shot and it hurt like a motherfker. The shot itself didnt hurt at all, I was like 1 min after the shot. I started t put on my cammie blouse and then my arm started to get all stiff and I felt this sharp pain in my arm. It took about the whole day to go away. I got back to LA at about 6pm and I was fking tired. I went to sleep at around 10 and didnt wake up till 12 sunday.

Like I said today I woke up at 12 and I ended up workin on my sisters and my car all day. I started to work on my sisters car today at around 4, I put my old MB Quart speakers in her car and it sounded kewl. After I was done with her car I started on my car. I had to install some more speakers in the car to dedicate it to the navigation system.

I forgot to mention that last week I got my Marine Corps tattoo finished..... as many of you remember it used to be just the eagle globe and anchor. I added US in the back of it and Marines on the bottom here is a pic of it.

2003-03-07T20:27:00.000-08:00

lightening fast week.... Shiet...
this week just ZOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooommmmmmedd by.

Tuesday I went to the Sgt Maj's funeral, he was a cop and a Marine which made this funeral HUGE. There was like 500 sum ppl there, about 100 cops and 100 Marines. The funeral made me think about how fragile life is. The Sgt Maj was a healthy guy and he wasnt that old, around his 40's. Someone like that to just die in his sleep is one fking scary thought. Can this happen to me? What is the point in keeping healthy then? Are we really only meant to live so long? In less than 30 days my unit has now lost 5 Marines. 4 that died the helicopter accident and 1 in his sleep. Of the 5 that died I knew 3 of them and the Sgt Maj I knew better, stood in front if his desk many times.

Wends I got my new Alpine Dolby digital surround sound processor for my car. I installed it in the Xterra and now I have it working. SOooooooooooo kewl.

Thures. I went to base and worked all day. I got up an hr late and didnt leave LA till 0530, I didnt fking get to base till 0830. As far as I know, I didnt get in trouble.

Today I took the rest of the tweaks outta the new sound processor. Now I have to get ready to knock out cuz i gotta go to base tomorrow..... fk...... cant wait till tomorrow at this time. My long week will b over.

2003-02-26T15:43:00.000-08:00

Damn.... Weds. already......
Well this past weekend was like one long day. Last thures I went to have coffee with hsing, chung and jeff. I had like 5 cups and I coudlnt sleep all night. I wasnt able to fall asleep till 10AM friday. Good thing I didnt have n class that day. I didnt wake up till about 6:30pm, I ended up going to the olive garden with hsing, chung and jeff later that night and we just talked at hsings house after. I didnt get home till like 12 AM sat. and I had to go to base in 4 hrs. So I just didnt sleep and at 5 I left for base. That day we got our anthrax shot, it didnt hurt that bad and some ppl said it burned but I was kewl. They also said that one of the effects is sleepyness. I got home at like 7pm sat. and went out with hsing and them for dinner. Afterwards we went to Jun's brothers party for like 30 min. and left. I was wasted so we went home and I passed out. I didnt wake up till like 5pm sunday. I guess thats what I get for being up over 36 hrs. Yesterday I got a call that our Sgt. Maj. died in his sleep, some are guessing that it maybe from the shot but we gotta wait till the autopsy comes back. Well I gotta test at 7 so gtg late.

2003-02-17T23:05:00.000-08:00

Weekend....
Well Sat we went to the range again... blaise, jeff, hsing, ching, hiroko, Jack and I. We shot over 1500 rounds total, 550 .22 rounds, few hundred 9mm rounds and over 500 m16 rounds. FUN.

Sunday.... Jack called jeff, Prima and I up and asked if we wanted to go to Pechanga, a indian casino. We decided to go and met up at 7pm for dinner. I took about $170 bucks with me when we left. Dinner was about 12 bucks and a pack of cigs was about 4 bucks so when we got the casino i had was about 150 bucks. It was about 11:30pm when we got to the 1st casino and it was packed so we went to a few other casinos around the area. We went to like 5 casinos and at the end we went back to pechanga at 2:30am monday morning. At the time I was down about 20 bucks, I lost another 40 bucks on my 1st hr back to pechanga. BUT...... I won all the back and aoubt 40 bucks more in the next hr on roulette. I thought I was done and I went to watch Jack play. It was about 4am now and Jack was on a roll so Prima asked if I wanted to play BJ at the $5 table. I said fk it lets go and play, I decided to play with my winnings only and after about a hr i tunred that 40 into alittle over 80 bucks. Prima was on a roll the whole time too, she was mostly winning and pushing. She didnt lose more than 10 hands that session. Jack comes and tells us that he is up 1 bill and as he watched Prima's luck he decided to put ALL his winnings in on one bet! $100 bucks..... the cards got passed out and Prima won so she won jack another 100 buck. Now jack is up 200. After another 30 min I was getting tired and up alittle over 80 now. I decided to see if I can catch on Prima's luck and I put 50 bucks into her bet. I was about to sit out that game and not play myself when It hit me that if I back out now then I would throw off her cards. So i just threw 5 bucks onto my circle and not payin much attention when the cards got passed out, cuz I was talking to jack and jeff I saw when everyone was yellin that Prima hit BJ... AGAIN. I almost fell outtta my seat cuz I had $50 in that bed! I just won $75 from her and 5 from mine cuz the dealer busted. i ended the night with $310 not counting breakfast and some other stuff. GOOD SHIET.

Conversation topics....
This subject came up a few times with different groups of friends of mine. What is are good conversation/attitudes amount people out age?

CAR? well.... car's are good conversation topics but if that all you talk about it gets to make one feel like they are back on HS.
Girls? hmm.... "dood that girl just looked at you, i be she likes you!" FKING HS!!!! We all getting older and talking about women all the time makes one feel like they are in heat or something. Also always addressing women with sex can get kinda boring, just like porn... what's the point? Does it get u n e thing? NO....
School? Many of my friends are now getting outta college. Some are going to grad school, some still looking for jobs and other are still in school. I think we are getting pretty much to the point in our lives when we need to start thinking about our future, not who we FK next.
Jokes? You can never get too old to joke around with friends. Laughing is healthy and would make you a happier person. BUT if all you do is joke around and can never take anything seriously then it will be hard to hold a decent conversation with you.
Drugs? Dood.... lets not fking go there.... we all know my opinion on that. Pethetic.

Conclusion....
At the age of 23 I get bored of talking about one topic too much. We all know that I do love to play with my car but talking about cars 24/7 get old FAST. Gun are a hobby of mine but I can't really talk about that all the time either. Girls.... we will never figure them out so why dont we just take a step down from trying. But talking about them is kewl.... we learn from eachothers mistakes. School/work is something that we all needa concentrate more on. We are all getting ready to go out on our own and it's time to stop not thinking about it. Seems like what makes me feel like I am having a decent converstion is something that is well rounded and has many different topics. PPL that likes to mess around needs to know timing and they know when jokes are and are not right. PPL that talk with their brains, not just blurt out shiet. That was what we came up with. Seems like converstions like this makes spending time together more to our level and less like we are back in HS.

Rain + oversleep + fking messy room = LOTTA ENERGY TO CLEAN

I slept till late noon today and woke up full of energy and freezing my ass off. I got up went to run some errans and had a subway for lunch. Later after I ate I took a look around my room and thought... FKKKKKK gotta clean. Sooooo at about 5pm I decided to start cleaning. Jeff cameover at 8:30pm and we met up with Hsing and Chung for dinner at Thai dishes. I got back home at 10:30pm and started to clean again. It's not 12:30am and I'm pretty much done. I made a rack for all my guns cuz I dont have anyplace to put them. I put up a few Marine things that I had laying around and now my Dog has a clean place to sleep and walk around.

My babies.

Mess with the best, Die like the rest.

OMFG!!!!! You can see the floor.. LOL

Holly now has a nice place to kick it with nothing in her way. See even she is happy.

Hsing, Jeff and Jacks Bday bash....

2 weeks ago we had a party for Hsing, Jeff and Jacks Bday. We decided to go to ESPN Zone at downtown disney. We spent about a hr waiting for our table of 20. But it was worth it cuz they got us a big table at the patio.

Everyone had a great time and Hsing drank just........ enough for him not to start acting weird. But is sure does look, in the pic above that Hsing likes his food... or could it be the cake?

USMC... here is a report from CNN

Investigation continues into deadly helicopter crash

Marines suspend participation in patrols

FALCON HEIGHTS, Texas (AP) -- The fiery collision of two military helicopters that killed four reservists has prompted suspension of the Marines' participation in an anti-drug patrol at the Texas-Mexico border.

As a crash investigation continued Friday, security was tight at a remote state park near the Rio Grande where witnesses reported seeing the two AH1-W Super Cobra helicopters collide.

The Marine crews were taking part in a nighttime drug enforcement patrol when the crash occurred late Wednesday in dusty scrubland in Falcon State Park.
The dead were identified as Lt. Col. Robert J. Theilmann, 47, of Suffolk, New York; Maj. John M. Walsh, 36, of Oakland, Michigan; Capt. David C. Cross, 34, of Centre, Pennsylvania; and Maj. Steven G. Palombo, 36, of Sterling Heights, Michigan.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these valiant Marines," said Lt. Gen. Dennis M. McCarthy, commander of the Marine Forces Reserves in New Orleans.
The victims were members of Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 775, based at Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California. The detachment of six helicopters and 53 Marines, deployed to Laredo on January 17, was ordered to return to Camp Pendleton this weekend, the Marine Forces Reserves said.

Cameron Palombo, reached for comment late Thursday, said of his brother, "He was (a) pilot, he loved to fly. That was his life, from the time he was a little boy to the time of his death."

Richard Theilmann of Brooklyn, New York, described his brother as a "self-sacrificing kind of guy" who was proud to serve his country.

"He'd make sure everyone was comfortable before he was comfortable," Theilmann said.

Were only a week into mission
The Marines were only a week into a mission that sent them flying over Falcon Lake, a binational reservoir that straddles the U.S.-Mexico border and is a known haven for smuggling of drugs and undocumented immigrants.
"We heard a loud boom and all of a sudden the engines in the helicopters quit, so I went outside and looked and there was a ball of fire," said Larry Sholl, 67, who witnessed the crash.

Military investigators offered no clues what went wrong. Each Super Cobra has a crew of two -- a pilot and a co-pilot.

Their Department of Defense mission, known as Joint Task Force Six, comprises volunteer active duty and reserve members of various branches and offers high-tech support and training to federal, state, and local anti-drug agencies. It has been in operation since 1989.

End of CNN report.

Why am i talking about this? HMLA-775 is my unit, Lt. Col. Robert J. Theilmann, was the commanding officer of my unit. The cobras where from out unit also. Gives me the chills to think that life and come and go so fast. I knew these ppl that died, I saw them everytime I went to base. Lt. Col. Theilmann talked to us every month and even I have had to report to his office ever so often for work. I guess this is how it does in the corps. but damn it really sucks. I have a favor to ask you guys, I am not a very religious person but the next time you pray or go to church can you please pray for the 4 dead marines souls and the well being of their families.

WAR...

As many of us already know, Corporal Cheung Raymond USMC, was activated earlier this week from his unit. Tomorrow Ray will be leaving on the USS Ashland as part of 8,000 active-duty and Reserve Marines, part of a massive buildup of Marine forces headed for a possible war with Iraq. Ray is now part of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade (2nd MEB). Ray Adam and I grew up together, we have been friends since the 4th grade at Highland Oaks, we went to Foothills Jr high together and graduated Arcadia High together. We joined the Marine Corps in 97 our senior yr. On June 15th 1998, 2 days after our HS graduation, we shipped to Marine Corps Recruit Depo San Diego, boot camp. There we got placed into Alpha training company and was part of platoon 1091, 1st Battalion. Some can say the we are jinxed cuz we graduated boot camp and Sept 11th 1998, EXACTLY 3 yrs b 4 911. Below are some pics of our boot camp graduation.

Top left pic is a pic of Ray left me middle and Adam right at the barracks the night b 4 gradutation. The right pic is ME!

The left pic is Ray lookin like a HARD CHARGER! The right pic is our entire platoon in formation at the graduation.

The left pic is of our DI's, they were hard on us and trained us well. The right pic is of left Ray middle Adam and right Me.

I wish Ray the best of luck and it will be prob. just a matter of time b 4 adam and i get activated. Semper Fi Ray, stay low shoot straight and kill the fking ragheads.

I got to use my party lights, lazers and fog machine too. It was dope, I didnt really drink that much. I havent really drank that much this whole yr, ever since I got wasted at Tahoe last season. Jeff got wasted to shit once again, dude... i swear vergitarians cant hold their drinks and illegal drugs. I got home at like 6am, I was so dead tired. I slept most of new yrs day away. Woke up at like 7pm and couldnt go back to sleep later that night.

Vegas
I just got back Friday from vegas with my family. Our family went with Ben's family, family friends, to Vegas. We got there around noon on Thures. and after we all checked in and went to our rooms I went down with my dad and bens dad to the floor. I took 2 bills to vegas with me and in 5 hrs i turned that into 3 bills. I went upstairs at about 6 and took a long ass nap. The rest of them all went to the FOB concert, dont know jackie chueng i think the singer was. I met up with Robert at about 11pm and we went to westward ho, next to circus circus, I didnt eat dinner yet so I picked that place to eat. They sell the huge ass hot dogs for 99 cents. After I ate, rob and I played there for about a hr. We then went to go pick up Ben and we all went to the old strip to play. At the end of my 1st night there I ended up with 4 bills total. That is after my expences for food and shiet. The 2nd day I met up with Rob again and i just broke even. But that night after Rob left and we were all waiting in line for dinner I went to the tables. I ended up winning about 2 bills. I didnt gamble at all on friday when we came back. I just left that place with over 4 bills up, I had 6 bills after all my expences. I ended up giving the old man 1 bill, treated both families to dinner at a steak house, almost 1 1/2 bills. and I spent the rest of the winnings at the outlet. Got myself 3 DKNY shirts and some CK and Polo shiet.

my weekend....
Friday
I went to base friday afternoon cuz I was one of the drivers for the toys for tots drive. Every xmas the marines corps. reserves runs the toys for tots drive, we have barrels everywhere around the area with marines standing next to it. ppl donate toys and $$$ and it was my job to go to each site and pick up all the stuff. Cpl Horton drove as I navigated, it was raining like a bitch and at the end we drove almost 100 miles. I felt sick after the drive cuz he was weaving and speeding around trying to get shit done ASAP. I was dead tired when I got back to Arcadia.

Sat.
I drove to Camp Pendelton at 4am to take a physical fitness test, PFT. I got back to Arcadia at like 11am and went to sleep. Later that afternoon Paul called me up to go to a bar with his GF susan and her friend Christina. I had to go to base again sunday but I thought why not and went with them. We drank at some place in L.A. and susans friend was pretty cute, so it was fun. We went to Dragon Mark around 1am to get some food after all the drinking. Christina didnt know that she can get stinky tofu in the US. I was pretty shocked at that and I asked her how long has she been here. I forgot how old she was when she came but it was pretty damn long ago. She's from orange county though so its not too weird that she didnt know she can get that here.

Sun.
I didnt get to go to sleep till like 5am after the bar but I had to get up at 11am and go to base. I got on base ontime and Cpl Horton and I had a 4 hr driving shift to pick up the toys again. By the end of sunday I was pooped. I got back from base and pretty much went straight to sleep.

All in all it was a busy weekend.

AIM Hacked....

I think my AsianUSMC SN was hacked and the person that was using it was picking out female looking SNs and talking some mad shit to them. How did I find out about this? Well everyday I long onto my AOL sn to check mail and trash and last week I noticed ppl that were online but didnt how up om my AIM SN. Later I tried to call a few of them and they wont even talk to me. These ppl do not know eachother and I know that the last time i talked to some of them it was a good decent conversation. Kinda sucks cuz one of the ppl that blocked me is a good friend of mine since fresh yr at Cal Poly. Now she wont talk to me at all. And their is pretty much nothing I can do about it. I tired getting Ben to call her since she has the same area code and that would throw her off. It worked and she picked up her cell, as soon as Ben said that he was my friend she hung up on him too. No questions asked... nada.... I would have never thought in a million yrs that my friendship with this person would end like this. Kinda sucks shit. Now... there is one last solution... and if u ppl want to help it would be great. Imma put up her SN for AIM. If you have the time and want to make the effort, IM her... talk to her alittle, DO NOT SAY U KNOW ME right away. But once things are set ask her why she is mad at me. SN - reesee0608. AND NO she isnt one of the girls i messed around with. I know some of u fags are thinking that. I just wanna know why she is soooooooo steamed at me. I dont get to talk to her often and its sad that its ending like that. Now I just needa find out how many more ppl are pissed at me. SOOO that means for the next few weeks if u dont see ASIANUSMC online im prob on PALMUSMC... my moble SN. I needa see who is popping up on my list that aint on asianusmc.

A Marines Chirstmas Poem

'Twas The Night Before Christmas
He Lived All Alone,
In A One Bedroom House
Made Of Plaster And Stone.

I Had Come Down The Chimney
With Presents To Give,
And To See Just Who
In This Home Did Live.

I Looked All About,
A Strange Sight I Did See,
No Tinsel, No Presents,
Not Even A Tree.

No Stocking By Mantle,
Just Boots Filled With Sand,
On The Wall Hung Pictures
Of Far Distant Lands.

With Medals And Badges,
Awards Of All Kinds,
A Sober Thought
Came Through My Mind.

For This House Was Different,
It Was Dark And Dreary,
I Found The Home Of A Soldier,
Once I Could See Clearly.

The Soldier Lay Sleeping,
Silent, Alone,
Curled Up On The Floor
In This One Bedroom Home.

The Face Was So Gentle,
The Room In Such Disorder,
Not How I Pictured
A United States Marine.

Was This The Hero
Of Whom I'd Just Read?
Curled Up On A Poncho,
The Floor For A Bed?

I Realized The Families
That I Saw This Night,
Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers
Who Were Willing To Fight.

Soon Round The World,
The Children Would Play,
And Grownups Would Celebrate
A Bright Christmas Day.

They All Enjoyed Freedom
Each Month Of The Year,
Because Of The Soldiers,
Like The One Lying Here.

I Couldn't Help Wonder
How Many Lay Alone,
On A Cold Christmas Eve
In A Land Far From Home.

The Very Thought
Brought A Tear To My Eye,
I Dropped To My Knees
And Started To Cry.

The Marine Awakened
And I Heard A Rough Voice,
"Santa Don't Cry,
This Life Is My Choice;

I Fight For Freedom,
I Don't Ask For More,
My Life Is My God,
My Country, My Corps."

The Marine Rolled Over
And Drifted To Sleep,
I Couldn't Control It,
I Continued To Weep.

I Kept Watch For Hours,
So Silent And Still
And We Both Shivered
From The Cold Night's Chill.

I Didn't Want To Leave
On That Cold, Dark, Night,
This Guardian Of Honor
So Willing To Fight.

Then The Marine Rolled Over,
With A Voice Soft And Pure,
Whispered, "Carry On Santa,
It's Christmas Day, All is Secure."

One Look At My Watch,
And I Knew He Was Right.
"Merry Christmas My Friend,
And To All a Good Night."

Daniel's Luck

I'm sorry I havent posted for almost 1/2 a month. I guess I got lazy and I have been putting it off. I noticed that I now have over 1400 hits on my blog and I remember that I had 1200 around the time I made my last post. Well... what has been going on in the wonderfull life of Dan.............. LIFES A BITCH!

KAT...

Lets talk about this issue 1st since i know that's what most of u ppl wanna know. SHE LIED... dood she lied about her being a stripper, she lied about her pic and she even has a BF! The pic that most of u ppl saw wasnt really her. It was her friend, so she says. Her real pic was nothing close to the 1st one. Lets just say there is a whole lot of her. Now because of that she cant possibly be a stripper duh. She also has a BF that she claimed she was on the verge of breaking up with, whatever. Just from these 2 things she has already broken some big rules of mine when it comes to a honest relationship. What pisses me off is the fact that this damn person got me to buy a airline ticket to see her and now I aint gonna use it to go there n e more. What a fking waste of $$$. She claimed that she really liked me and she couldnt that she cant get herself to tell me the truth. But its gotten so far that she had to tell me the truth. This experiance has taught me to stay FAR FAR FAR away from internet ppl ESP of they live far. Does this mean that I wouldnt meet a girl online again? Honestly, I cant say no. I think from now on if i do talk to girls online, i'd just talk to local girls. As far as girls go... once again it sucks but hey thats Daniel's luck for u.

WAR....

Well.... looks like by the end of Jan early Feb Ray, Adam and I will be in Iraq. This past weekend we all went to our units for our monthly training and we all had some briefings. My units went to the field and spent the weekend refreshing on machine gun operations and airfield coverfire. We spent the 2nd part of the weekend in NBC classes. NBC class stands for nuclear, biological, chemical class. We had to learn how to give eachother shots incase we got gassed with VX gas, serium gass and n e other biological or chemical bombs. The threat of war seems to look real and this shiet sucks. I guess Imma finish the rest of my contract in war, thats Daniel's luck for u.

Thanksgiving weekend...
Well we ended up having the BBQ cuz the Kubos decided to do some damage control. BBQ ended up at 11 bucks a head, the kubos bought the stuff this time. That means the total maybe at the ball park of 1 bill. But I have a gut feeling that it was more than that and this time the kubos at the rest of the bill. That doesnt even include the charcole and the fluid. Jeffs blog said something about how I was the only one that liked to prep or someshiet. I dont get u guys sometimes. If what jeff said is true then what Erwin and Rob told me was BS. But if what Rob and erwin told me was true then Jeff is full of shiet. I was told by them that preping was part of the fun and its never expected for everyone to come and help prep, just a few would do. NOW.... there was one person other than Jeff that said the preping was a bitch, but from what i can remember, he has never dont a 12 hrs preping shift. He just came for 2 hrs the night b 4 and helped out alittle and then 1hr early the next day and helped. I dunno why ppl have to bitch so much. And... ITS FKING SAD and its not just me that think this but the Arcadia group is TOO FKING tight with their wallet. I have only seen ROBERT bust out his wallet and buy someone food if they dont have cash. rest of the guys would just so oh well. its freaking weird, the Arcadia guys are the smart guys and the glendale guys whom I kick it with also are the JC guys (HEHEHE) are not so damn tight with their cash. We always pay for eachother and the whole 9 yards. After reading this the Arcadia guys must be thinking "WTF DANIEL, u never paied n e thing for us so shut the fk up!." HAHAHA i used to pay for 1/3 of the BBQ on my own and some of u guys know that. On top of that the Glendale guys I have bought lunch and dinner for many times. I just dont do that with the arcadia guys cuz I dont think they would appreciate it. U guys are must longest and closest friends and U know more about me than most other ppl but when it comes to $$$.... it turns our group into ASSES.

2002-11-28T22:10:00.000-08:00

BBQ....
Well for the Arcadia guys, their will be no more BBQ's for Thanksgiving, Xmas, Spring break and Summer for us n e more. Seems like some of u all think that $10 bucks to help pay for the food is not worth it even though usually I pay about 1/4 of it myself. (BTW... food usually costs a total of almost $200.00 Seem like some of u all forgot the fun of setting up the BBQ making the food and crap. Some told me we mind as well just eat out. Though some told me and I agree that making the food and all at the house is WAY different. And just going home after a cafe is different. Its a tradition that we have done for 5 yrs now but I dont wanna go through all this trouble if it isnt respected. SO like JEFF, AKA cyclops, ALWAYS SAYS...."FK IT!"

2002-11-28T22:05:00.000-08:00

Thankgiving....
Well Happy Thanksgiving ppl... I hope u all had a lot to eat and are now nice and fat.

Yesterday I got a call from Jeff and Jack....
They went to Longo Toyota and Jack was getting ready to buy a car. They needed me to find my family friend that worked there as a manager and see what he can do for my friends. I ended up driving to the dealer and talked to them. At the end Jack got his new toyota Matrix XR-S, it's black so now he is in the black car family. Other than that it was another boring weekend.

Me..... sprung??? Am I??
Well.... some of u all noticed I have met someone. Her name is Catherine, AKA Kat, and NO it isnt that Kat. But yeah, she's 26, hispanic and OMG is she cute. LOL I guess i am kinda sprung since I havent taken the phone away from my head for the last few days. We have been talking like a MOFO. U guys must be wondering how did I meet her? Where did this come from? hmmmm...... I was gonna keep it to myself but I think imma come out straight with it. 3 month ago Ben told me to open a findapix account so I did. About a month and a 1/2 ago she imed me outta no where. I kinda gaffed her off at 1st. I didnt know who the hell i was talking to and i never really talked back to her. Well after a few weeks i tried to talk to her back more often and b 4 i knew it we started to talk forever. Then she called me up one day and we talked for like 3 hrs. Now.... fk man.... im flying out to TX to kick it with her for a weekend and see what happends. AS far as it goes she and share ALOT of stuff incommon and I havent been able to keep a girl laughing that much and talk that long since Cat, yeah the other Cat. That was about 5 yrs ago, fk time goes by fast. I NEVER IM MY LIFE thought that I'd go out with a girl like this. So weird and.... WEIRD. But in my defence I didnt go out lookin for her she came to me :oP. I'll post pics up when I get back from TX. Im fking scared to go too... WTF am I doing!? It was Ben and Mike that convinced me to go. hehehe

2002-11-11T21:10:00.000-08:00

Problem SOLVED....
Well well well.... some of u all thought I was "hiding behind my computer" eh? Others thought I was CREATING drama.... ppl THINK ABOUT IT. N E ONE that comes this page knows me and that means they can find me. NO SHIET HUH!? Im not all that good in bringing up problems to a CLOSE friend. So this is one way I use to solve it. Esp when it had to do with a good amount of ppl. SOME of u thought we were trying to talk and/or START shiet, answer to that is no. This page brought up a issue that was buggin ppl and it needed to be solved, only "friends" know of this page, so that means only friends can leave comments. Now some of the comments were pretty mean and off the topic others were venting and the person we talked about saw how he ACCIDENTALLY hurt so many ppl. PPL DID pick up the phone and call one another to solve it, he even came to my house last night at 2AM and we talked till freaking 6AM. So much crap was set out and he saw and now understands what he did and y it was wrong. We learned about a y he did what he did and now we can try and help him out. Some posts may come out as a attack or "starting shiet" but u all know me and I wouldnt fking start n e thing that wasnt there. It needed to be said and solved otherwise he'd be left out, ditched and never know y. Dont u all rather have friends tell u their problems than keep it from u and say it behind ur back? Think about it. I really dont care if u hate me for what I did but it worked and now everything is out in the open. As for the comments going OFF TOPIC, thats on u guys, I had no fking thing to do with that. I only answer comments i dont add to them. My comments are my posts.

2002-11-07T08:02:00.000-08:00

slight drama.....
Hmmmm where should I start this one???? This post is kinda sensative since it is about a GOOD friend... one that I would not like to lose but I needa talk about. We have a friend and his mouth is to get kinda big, esp. infont of girls. Lately, he has been making a few of us look like complete idiots infront of other women. He has pissed many ppl off now. 1st lets talk about how he pissed me off. Well, he talked to Nora a few weeks ago, she works at that Tai place we eat at in Pasadena, she and I went out for a few months. I was talking to her a few days ago and she told me that he called her up and told her that I never go out or some shiet cuz i got cable. WTF kinda BS is that!? I told her it was BS and I don't know were he got that from, maybe he is mad cuz i dont go to his house and just sit there, FK THAT. Then there was this past Monday, we went out to eat dinner after class and I took An along. She is the girl that is in my class, the one that I tried to set up with Ben. At the dinner table he asked her straight out, "arn't you going out with Ben?" I was like WTF!? He knew the answer already.... cuz I told him a long time ago. I felt soooo weird and she looked at me funny. I just said... "fk i dunno thats between her and Ben." Now lets talk about what he did to Ben. We all remember the Nancy thing, which he caused. Well lately our friend has talked to her a lot or something but he put Ben in a bad spot. A few nights ago we all made a private chatroom, well our friend decided to invite Nancy in and everyone was like WTF?????? Ben didnt know what to say and no one really wanted to do n e thing so we just didnt talk to her. Now this one last thing he did, this was to Paul and he made Ben look REALLY bad and a girl. Ben is setting up Paul with this girl, well our friend tells Paul that Ben said he fked her b 4 and her pussy stank. WTF???? Paul told mike, Bens brother, and Ben found out. He also said something about her being a hoe or someshit. Ben had to call up Paul and explain everything since he didnt say n e of that. Paul really likes her too and maybe out friend was trying to look out for Paul BUT ben wouldnt fk paul over like that. But right now... MANY PPL are kinda mad at him. Most dont want him around us when we are with girls now. Seems like he is trying to fk everything up, thats how I feel, Ben, Mike and Paul. Why does he say what he does? Somethings are better off unsaid. I mean their are times where saying something would be ok and/or funny but there are other times where it is totally out of bounds. Also he doesnt really respect girls either, ALWAYS calling them hoes no matter what. I dont really ever remember him refering to a girl as a GF or girl, only if they are our friends.

Marines Corps Ball......
Well the ball is over and done with now. It was a LONG LONG day.
2:30AM Sat.
I got up took a shower and started to get ready to leave for base. I had a unifom inspection that day so I had to get all my crap into the car.
5:00AM Sat.
I start my drive to base.
7:00AM Sat.
I got to the lake where we were gonna run our Physical Fitness Test (PFT). I didnt have to run it cuz my ankle is still messed up.
9:30AM Sat.
we all got back to the squadron and started the inspections, after my boss inspected me I started to inspect CPL Horton shiet and the both of us inspected the rest of our Marines.
1:00PM Sat.
We got released to get ready for the Ball. I went to Adams new pad in SD and chilled with him. We went to eat at some Jap. place. His new place was pretty tight, its right next to the beach.
5:00PM Sat.
I went to pick up Annie for the ball.
6:00PM Sat.
We got to the Del Mar Hilton for the ball.
10:30PM Sat.
Annie and I left for the ball and I went to drop her off and head back to L.A.
12:00AM Sun.
My tired ass was home.
1:30AM Sun.
I got off the phone and KNOCKED THE FK OUT!

Yup I was up for 23 hrs. and drove a total of 290 miles. The ball was almost as I expected. Most of the Marines around my age either left after dinner or was drinking their head off. The dance floor had nothing but old ppl there. Annie and I never hit the floor for 2 reasons 1 how the FK do u dance to old songs and 2 we all know I don't really dance. Now..... she said that she didnt care to dance either but yet she was telling all my Marines there that i'm like a stink and i dont dance. That got them to kinda tease me to dance but i didnt. Oh.... as we were walking around and I was running into ppl that I know I would TRY and remember to introduce them to Annie and Annie to them. There were 2 occasions were I forgot to do dat. 1st time was to Cpl Ticknor, he and I was all talking and she was just sitting there. After like 3 min i was like oh FK, and I introduced them. 2nd time was at the dinner table, there was a LCpl that was sitting next to her and we all talked for a little bit, Annie included, and when CPL Horton and them showed up I started to talk to them. WELL Annie was still talking to the LCPL and his date and then she WACKED me on the head. Cuz during their conversation I guess they finally realized that they dont know eachother. I was like WTF!? then I made sure I introduced her to everyone I talked to for the rest of the night. Here are some pics from the Ball.

top 2 pics are the Marines that are lined up for the ceremony.

Left pic is Annie and I goofing off while taking the pic and the right one is us taking it seriously, took us 3 tries.

Left pic is Annie, me, CPL Horton and CPL LEE and right Cpl Walker, Sgt. Lancaster, Cpl Makay, Cpl Fields and me.

Click on this to see the end of the ceremony, it's kinda sorta kewl.

End result of my essay....
Past Present Future

"He who controls the radius of knowledge, controls the circumference of your actions", I heard this quote by Louis Farrakhan while attending my friend's lectures at University of California, Irvine (UCI) for African American studies. This quote would be the basis of how I became inspired to reach for a wider range of goals in my life. After graduating high school, I went straight into the United States Marine Corps Reserves, holding the mentality that it will build the foundation to gather knowledge and to control my action. The Marines did exactly what I expected; they taught me sharpness, time management, and team dynamics. I learned how to be both a leader and a follower. Along with classes from Cal Poly and Pasadena City College (PCC) I found a link to the business academia. These factors have allowed me to do what Louis Farrakhan stated control my actions with my knowledge and pursue a major in Business.

I attended Cal Poly Pomona the same time I joined the Marine Corps with no real insights, study skills nor leadership skills. I was unprepared for college life, after coming out from Marine basic training as a private and into the reserves; I was excited about going to college and have fun. As a private I was a follower, I had to listen to what my Corporals and Sergeants said. At that time they were my leaders and my mentors. They taught me how to do my job effectively and what it takes to become a leader. As a new college student, I was not used to the freedom that was given to me with this new role compared to high school. I was more interested in socializing and as a result I ended up at Pasadena City College (PCC), since then I have been striving to return to a four-year university. I have now changed my perspective of college and worked much harder to get better grades in my courses. In the last two years, I watched many of my close friends graduate from four-year universities and start rewarding careers, and the only thing in my mind is that I should be with them. Now I am determined like never before to prove that I too will be the student walking and getting my diploma. I learned that past mistakes can affect ones future because I spent about a year and a half of retaking the courses I failed at Cal Poly and some extra classes to speed up my college progression. Now I have conquered those failures and with much more understanding of college. When my counselor, at PCC, informed me that I completed the IGETC courses for the UC system I felt so motivated and now I am extremely close to transferring.

Currently, my goal now is to attend UCR and get into the business department. My experience with this field is limited, I worked as a data entry clerk for a major bank, in high school, and understand how banks handle deposits and do overseas transfers. In the past year I ran a small part time internet business. This business basically taught me that I need to learn how the market works, how to operate my financial books properly, proper legal procurers to run the business and much more. As far as the military goes, it has been a little over four years since I first joined and I have gained valuable experience. I am now a Corporal in the Corps and that means more responsibility and dedication. This rank is the starting rank of leadership positions and now I know how to deal with other people’s personal problems and how it affects the work place. I learned how to organize the employees, how to properly manage my resources and time. When I was on recruiting duty, for one year, I had to use many of these skills on a daily basis. I had to learn how to talk to people and how to understand what people wanted and why. When I had multiple appointments with students that were interested in joining, I needed to learn how to time mange all my appointments properly, how to use the marines that were working for me in an effective way. If they do not know how to do something teach them if time permits otherwise send another marine. With these new insights I can bring valuable experience to the work place in the future.

I know my experience is very limited and hardly even scratched the surface of my future plans. This is why I want to attend UCR, to get the better education and to learn all I can in this field. There are some Professors at PCC that teaches in the UC system and that just makes me want to go in that much more. Since withdrawing from Cal Poly Pomona, my determination to work hard and succeed brings me extremely close my goal of attending a four-year university again. Once more, “He who controls the radius of knowledge, controls the circumference of your actions,” therefore I am trying to further my education so that I can expand my circumference of movement in my future.

I owe all of you that helped me with my UC application dinner or something! Andrew, Annie, Hsing, JJ, Heidi, Steve and Paul.

My 1st draft a lot of you said I was being to negative and shiet. I dunno.... I was just trying to fact relality and how I hav tired to overcome it. Some of ya even said i need more self confidence! lol i dont think i do though.

My WEEKEND.....
Well this was a pretty basic weekend with one extra twist. I went to my friend Corporal So's party, he is getting outta the marines corps on friday. He did his 4 yrs of active duty. He worked in the tool room at the squadron, he's a pretty kewl guy and always there to talk to me when I was having problems at work. He'll be missed but he's off to bigger and better things than the Corps. I can't wait till I get outta the Corps. JUNE 14th, 2004.... cant wait. The party on the other hand was so so.... too many hoochie lookin' gals there. I mean... their tits were about to fall out and their asses too. But n e ways.... I went out to eat dinner with Joe, Rob and Eugene on sunday, I havent seen them for a while so it was kewl. Now I just gotta get ready for this comming weekend. Next Sat. is my units Marine Corps. Ball, I still gotta get my Blues ready and get my stripe (4 yr service stripe) put onto it. Damn..... I can't belive I have been in this shiet for over 4 yrs already, where has the time gone? I still remember us Scott K., Kevin K., Blaise, Joe, Robert, Jeff (sumo), Jeff (Cyclops), Erwin, Adam, Ray, Scott L., Kirk, Elbert, Hsing, Steve, Aundre, Jeff (FOB), Paul and Tommy, graduating HS in 98 like it was last month. Boot camp with Ray, Adam and I was like last week and meeting all you ppl in college, Annie, Chung, Nora, Andrew, An, Dow, Rob, JJ, Marrisa, Heidi, Inyork, Kellie, Lilly, Linda, Nikki, Ben, Mike, Jun, Ronald, JG, Sam, Mimi, Michelle, Susan, Sean, Amy like it was yesterday. FK man..... time has gone by fast and it just aint slowing the fk down. Most of us now have one or WAY too many EX's hehehe, some of us still hasn't even crossed that line yet and other are still on their 1st. What's gonna happend next!? Adam, Ray and I almost ended up in Kosovo a few yrs back, that wasa close one too. Now... damn we may finish our tours in Iraq, just my luck. But whatever happends happends. Imagine all the shiet that has happend since we grad and yet we still aint even 1/2 way through out lives. So.... who's gonna get married 1st? Who's gonna have a kid 1st? Who's gonna be single for life? AND... hehehe well we do live in the U.S.A. so who's gonna get divorced 1st!? (let's hope none us)

FK SBC DSL!!! HELLOOOOOO Digital Cable.....
Well yesterday Charter Cable guys came over and installed my cable tv and modem. OMG im so happy.... A few hundred chnls... I didnt know that the disney chnl was standard and now i get to watch all the old cartoons i liked when i was young, Duck Tales, Tail Spin, Rescue Rangers. etc. Im so happy. I even got to watch the A-Team last night lol. Havent seen that for yrs. I got fed up with my DSL servicer, NEVER get PAC BELL DSL (AKA SBC DSL). So i figured i'll try out digital cable. It was just 30 bucks more than the DSL but I got cable TV with all the HBO and Cinamax chnls. As far as i can see it its a win win situation for me so far. It's faster then my old DSL service, since most ppl around me have DSL my peak time speed is still good. It took me a while to get the router to work but once I did I was happy. Now I have things to watch during all hrs of the day.

updated posts....
Hmmm I have been getting lazy lately, not updating my Blog but here it is a new post.
Well.... An update on this DRAMA from my last post. Looks like this guy is gonna go away and most of the ppl don't care anymore. Most of us are just tired of the situation and just want it to go away. But there is some shiet going down but it I can't post it till later. ETA: 1 month. On Saturday Ben (glendale), Mike, Ronald, Ben (UCI), Paul and I went to a ranch and trained all weekend there. It was fun but we are all tired as hell. We had BBQ all weekend and our steak dinner was great. The guys learned the leap frogging movments fast and they started to do it with hand signals fast. I got stung by a bee there, 1st time i was stung since I was like 7! I ripped the fker outta my hand and threw it on the floor. Later we found it and i burned the thing to hell, it was still 1/2 alive. There was hella bugs there and later that night during our night game I was behind a tree covered with FIRE ANTS. One of the fell on my helmet i guess and found its way into my mouth! EWWWWW I was on the tip of my tongue and i felt this stinging burning sensation. It was kinda big and so i knew it was a ant.... outta pissoffness and instinct I bit it in 1/2 then spit it out and o just kept spitting. It was some sick shiet. Other than that... it was fking fun and great weekend!

DRAMA within the group.....
Well well well.... this time the DRAMA doesnt include me! :o) FINALLY! I hang out with 2 groups of friends, the ones from back in AHS and then their are the ones in college. This drama involves the college friends. We have this "friend A" that is questionalby possibly MAYBE gay. But that's not what is wrong with him. We can be kewl with that but this is the problem with him. "friend A" has a GF that he got cuz Ben helped hook him up with her. She liked Ben at 1st but "friend A" liked her and so Ben decided to help him win her over. At the end everything worked out and "friend A"got what he wanted. But lately there has been a shit loada shaddy crap going on. #1 We have this "friend B" that just moved out to UCR and now that he moved out "friend A" never calls us or shiet. So we have been doing many things without calling him. MANY. Lets just say Fright Fest was fun. We didnt call because EVERYONE feel like "friend A" just want to hang out when "friend B" is around. Well last night "friend A"'s GF decided to call up Ben and them because she was bored. They start to talk to her cuz we are friends........... i think. But later she logs on and shiet, she claimed that she was alone but she was really with her BF. So Ben decided to get some crap off his chest and asked her to keep a secret. She doesnt tell Ben that her BF is around and so he tells her some stuff. WELL.... Ben and them where basically set up and now hella drama is breaking out. "friend A" is pissed and claims that we leave "friend B" behind which is total BS cuz I personally call him when we go out and he also lives like 3 houses away from Ben. What "friend A" doesnt know is that his GF has some skeletons in the closet that she should clean out with him. What it is I wont tell.... but if we all want to start playing games.... "friend A" imma warn you.... you fk with the group and you will find out shiet that you wish you didnt know. It's plain and simple..... we do call sean and you only show up when he does. We try what we can to help eachother out and all I EVER hear you do is complain. When you got harrassed at work IT WAS BEN THAT HELP YOU. I know this little secret must be tearing you appart. BUT U FK WITH BEN.... I WILL FK WITH YOU. I'm not taking sides, we all know I am blunt, Mike is his bro so his comments maybe bias. But I always say it as it is and as far as i see it, you have no right to come and bitch at us when we havent seen you for almost 2 months.

2002-10-15T00:35:00.000-07:00

well.... its been 5 days since my last post.
What has happend since??? Well on Friday I went a tried it study with An, a friend from class, for our midterms. She's the one I am setting up with my friend, Ben. We only studied for like an hr and shiet. On Sat. we all went to Magic's Fright Fest, it was fun. An went with us and she met Ben. I basically let them two take care of the rest themselves. The mazes where fun but not all the great. There were only 4 of them and the lines for some of them were way to long, it wasnt worth it. We took a break from walking around and we decided to act like Sam. We also got cheap and we decided to take a pic of the monitors instead of buying the pics hehehe. He's is Sam in the upper left pic. Us acting like him in the upper right pic. The monitor pic on from Jet Stream. on the lower left and Ben and An on the lower right.

Airsoft....
Well.... I am going back to playing airsoft but this time imma build a team. Ben, Paul and a few other guys I asked thought it was a great idea and they all bought there gear and guns. We started our 1st session of training Sunday. Boy boy boy boy boy..... teaching them to move and shoot was hard but they learn and now they can hit a still target fairly well while moving. I taught them the VERY basics of the leap frog movements. This comming weekend we are going to a ranch that Paul's dad knows for some live fire training and a few games. We hope to into competition by Jan. This is gonna be fun and a good workout.

2002-10-10T01:57:00.000-07:00

What did I do today?.... hmmm well our airsoft glocks came in today.

Need I say more?

2002-10-07T23:40:00.000-07:00

whew..... where should i start? so much has happend since my last post wendsday....
Well lets start by ending my little gun shopping experience. I ended up buyng a P22, its the gun James Bond uses in the movies. It was a great deal too, just $250.00. Now I just have to wait till my 10 day wating period is over, then I get to pick it up on the 15th.

Now lets go back to my 10/1 post. Well... on friday night we all went out to eat and then hung out at my house. The girl I talked about came over also and everthing was going ok. I don't really know what she had decided on doing but she was over at my place with the rest of the guys. WELL.... another friend of ours later decided to show her this site cuz ppl where talking about all the stuff i say here. She read the 10/1 post and she figured out it was her that I was talking about . FK..... huh? She ended up leaving and didnt say a word to any of us. The guy that showed it to her ended up telling us and yeah I got mad at him. We all know what is on this site and yes it maybe my own comments and opinions but there is some dumb logic that ppl should use in deciding who they tell this site to. Even i watch what I say about most of you ppl cuz I dont want to hurt anyone "too bad" hehehe. I went almost all out on this girl on the 10/1 post. His argument was that the 10/1 post was no different then the amy and Jeff post i had earlier. PPL told me after all this that it was totally different from the Jeff and Amy post and I think so to. Lets examine this shiet. 1) Ben likes the girl VS Jeff claims not to like Amy 2) The girl shows (questionable) instrest in Ben VS Amy shows no intrest in Jeff 3) Ben and the girl has gone out together (date, holding hands, kiss, blah blah blah) VS Jeff and Amy has never gone on a official date which means no kiss, hand holding. 4) the girl does not know this site because I do not know her that well as a friend at all and there was some bad stuff I said in the post VS I watched myself on the Jeff and Amy post to make sure I dont get too too personal and I didnt talk mad shiet in about neither one of them in that post. CONCLUSION: Some ppl don't use commen sense to make decitions and that can fk shiet up. But like I said b 4 I will still post. Someone came up to me and asked us "IS HE (the guy that showed her the site) DUMB ASS OR SOMETHING?" I personally don't think so but he, the guy that showed her the site, gets tricked ez or makes bad choices around girls.

USMC
This weekend I had to go to base and work. I was one long weekend but It was ok. My little investigation thing came to a decision on sunday. The board chose to put me on a 6 month probation. I get to keep my rank and shiet but I will bu evaluated every month by my Boss. That's kewl with me cuz I get a chance to prove myself. Other than that my weekend on base was uneventfull.

Gun shopping....
Mike, ben, Paul and I spent all day yesterday going around shopping for new guns. I was looking for a Sig 9mm or a .45, I found a place that sold the .45 for $550.00. Pretty damn good price. But when it came down to buying it I decided not to. $550 is still a lot of $$ and i decided to hold off on it. We all ended up buing a gas powered airsoft pistol, glock 19, so I guess now we are gonna have more fun in Pauls backyard. After shopping around all day we went back to drop of Ben and Mike to there car. Ben left his dome light on and his car battery died. We tried the push start over and over again but we never got it to work. The push start only works for stick cars. You have to push the car and leave it on 2nd gear, keep the cluch down and have the key in the ignition. We pushed the damn SI all around the parking lot and tired it over and over again without luck. But we did manage to make get hella embarassed. Finally a shop owner saw us and came out with a jump starter and we got the car to start up.

Relationships.... WOMEN....
Hmmm... how many times have I posted a subject about this kinda shiet already? OH fking well, here is another one. Imgine this, you meet this girl and you relized you like her a lot. (SHUT UP GUYS and read) You decide to be friends with her 1st and shiet. After a yr you really start to like her and start to try and make some moves. (NO PPL IT ISNT WHAT YOU R THINKING) She breaks up with her BF and you move in. Now.... she starts to respond to your moves with the same attitude as you and things start to get good. But her track record is kinda shitty. The guy she broke up with bought her a dog the last time they had probs and she went back to him. Does this mean she can be bought? naw... prob not, right? I dunno.... Well now you 2 are getting ur groove on with eachother and then one day she just stops all the shiet. She tell you that her ex hmmmm "OWED ME SOME $$$" so he bought her a fking $400.00 phone! WTF!? right? Now if it was you that she was telling this to what would you say? Prob nothing really. Well she goes off and starts acting weird and tells you that "we should be friends" and all that other BS. She is considering going back to her ex, now ppl... if a girl said and did all that that means she can be bought don't u think? I think so. You needa let her go and forget it. Life is full of heart breakers and heart takers. It's just how thing damn game works. This sad sad sad drama is happending to one of my friends. He's like a little brother to me from the 1st day I met him. Always asked me for advice and always respected what I told him. He even experienced drama like I did with Cat. So we con relate to one another a lot. Now He is in another drama and this girl personally isn't all that. He is too good for her, she's has a nice personality BUT she's too materialistic as I see it and can be bought. LET HER GO!

2002-10-01T02:15:00.000-07:00

another day....
Well I found out today this girl in one of my classes is as old as my sister and is viet. Aint that a biatch? Damnit but oh fking well, dont matter. It's not like God is being particularly nice to me ever when it comes to women. I watched celeberty boot camp today, talk about fking gay. Damn starts bitching about the smallest crap and the most fked up part is the winner gets 50 fking thousand bucks! They only did some of the crap we did in boot and they got 50K!? damn life just aint fair. But what has the media become now? Whatever happend to shows like full house, family matters, A-team, air wolf, 90210, saved by the bell, etc. atleast those shows had a plot and was somewhat entertaining. Every damn thing on TV now is a reality show. I hate those shows, it really isnt a show. Watching those reality show and knowing those ppl get hella $$$ for doing whatever is so fking gay. Atleast when we watched Air wolf we knew we would never fly a fking helicopter and shiet so we can just watch and imagine. Now I just get fking annoied on the reality shows when ppl bitch and moan about crap that most other ppl could also do. OH well.... I guess I'll just buy more DVD's for the collection and just watch those. 100+ and counting.

Airsoft.....
Today was a fking weird day. It started off with plans to go to the L.A. county fair and it ended up with Paul, Jeff and I playing airsoft in Pauls big backyard. I went to Paul's place and we kicked it there for a while. We decided not to go to the fair and we went gun shopping cuz I wanna buy a .45mm Sig and/or a M1 rifle. So we went around to some places and we ended up at Big 5. As I was looking at the guns Jeff and Paul were looking at the BB guns and they saw some airsoft guns. Paul come up with this damn bright idea to buy them and play in his yard. It was just 18 bux each and so I said ok. Paul and I have a long long history of doing crazy ass shiet together, it dates all the way back to HS so this was nothing. Jeff on the other hand was skeptical about it but like always I changed his mind. We ended up playing in Paul yard during the night and it was fking hard. I was in my cammies and so was Jeff and Paul. We crept around the back shooting eachother and shiet, it was fun. We decided to go up to Glendale and scare the rest of the guys there so at around 10pm we drove up there. Our plan of attack was to get Mike since Mike does this kinda shiet all the time and according to Jeff "He deserved it." As we got to the last stop sign to their house we put on our ski masks and loaded the guns and shiet. Paul turn onto the street and tunrs off his headlights. We see the guys just chilling in the front and they are starting at ass driving down the street with the lights off. The idea was to keep it dark and as we got really close to the turn the headlights on and blind them. Paul speeds up and all the windows are open and so was the sun roof. Paul breaks left and I was sitting in shotgun so I had a clear shot at them. They get blinded and see figures with gun and masks pop out. Jeff pops out off the sun roof and yells "get mike get mike!!" We didnt see the fool cuz outta reflex he was already running. Ben on the otherhand had this shocked and confused look and stared right at us so I yelled fk it get Ben. We all fired and everyone started to run. We Jumped outta the car and started chasing after Ben and Mike. The both ran inside but I was able to stick a nice shot up his ass. :oP Everyone laughed Mike siad that we almost gave him a heart attack cuz of the masks, the guns and Jeff popping outta the sunroof.
Personal Opinion....
I MISS BEING YOUNG! This have been a very childish moment but it was fun. What guys do when they are bored.... damn... I wonder what girls do.

2002-09-29T03:20:00.000-07:00

Beach.....
We went to the beach today and had a good old bonfire and BBQ from 4-10. I hate cooking fking chicken, it's the hardest fking thing to cook. The outside could be burn black and the inside can still b raw. For the 1st time though we had a shortage of food. We ran out of food about a hr after the 1st batch of meat was cooked. We forgot about our vegitarian cyclops, inside joke, and so he just ate chips. AWWWWW :( Oh well.... hehehe. Now Bens Bday was on Manday but we didnt give him the traditional beating so we made it up today. He tired to fight back by throwing sand at us when I pinned him down, damn fker got sand in my eye. But i kept is ass down and everyone started to jump on him. The funny thing was he was throwing sand straight up in the air also and he ate a lot of it. I MEAN ATE! He started to cough and he kinda threw up from sand!.... He then got a small headack that went away fast. I never knew u can get drunk on sand, their's an idea for u alcoholics. We had a white guy there that was kinda crazy. The fool lit his shoe on fire! WTF? He put lighter fluid on his shoes and then put it in the fire and started to run around. He did it so many times that the laces on the shoe melted. He later just threw both of his shoes in the fire pit. I swear white ppl really like fire. EX. KKK, cowboys and only in U.S. colleges will ppl wanna start a bonefire on campus. hehehe j/k. Well n e ways we left at around 10 and I went home. Later Jeff and Paul came by and kicked it for about a hr and we just talked. 3 guys talking.... about what? same shiet as girls. RELATIONSHIPS. But imma wait a few days till I see the end result of something going down and I'll post it later. Other than all this today was just another day.

2002-09-28T03:06:00.000-07:00

Cubbing.....
Today Jeff and I took Ben to Sharks Club, in orange county, since Ben finally turned 21. We got there at about 9pm and started to drink, shoot some pool and wait for Annie to get there. We rented a pool table and it was kinda weird cuz the lady gave the pool balls to this asian girl and she walked me to the table. She was fking cute! She set up our table and ask me if we every came here b 4 and I said no. So she told us how the place worked and then left. I guess she was is some kinda pool hostes. Jeff decided to hit up on these 2 NASTY girls that were sitting next to us and just chilling. Well acutally Ben tried 1st cuz Jeff pressured him to do it but he came back alone. Jeff stares at them and walk over and comes back with them. Good for Jeff? I guess.... but dont forget I said UGLY. These 2 low class hoochies played alittle pool and I just couldnt stand sitting there watching Jeff messing with junk so I went to the patio and chilled for a while. When I came back in I ran into Annie and as I walked back to the pool table I saw the 2 nasty girls walk past me. They told Jeff and Ben that they needed to go to the restroom, my 1st thought was they aint commin back. I was right :) We drank some more and turned in the pool table. Jeff got all drunk and started to grow some balls and got bolder to the girls at the club. We hit the dance floor and I found Annie and we all kinda sorta started to dance. Well... I kinda sorta danced. Jeff starts to hit up on the girl and then starts freaking her so hard that she was getting pushed around. He almost knocked her down but we caught her. Damn crazy guy. Annie once again tried to get me to dance. Now many of you guys know I havent danced since the end of fresh yr in college.(1998-1999) I dunno why but one day I just felt like a fool on the dance floor and I stopped. Havent danced since. And now we are talking about Annie, I cant get myself to get freaky on the dance floor with her, dont know why, I just feel bad even thinking about doing that to her. So ofcourse being the stuborn person I am, it would be almost impossible for me to give in. So we danced and I just moved around alittle and then we started to walk around. We lost Jeff's drunk ass so Ben and I had to start looking for him. Later we found him and Jeff told us he was just walking around freaking every girl and "I don't give a damn" was what he said. This from the guy that used to puke after 1 1/2 coronas! Now his alcohol intake is higher he shows his true self, this guy is a dick when he drinks. After a few hrs I got tired so I chilled on the couch and told them 2 to go and have fun. 1/2 a hr later they come and tell me its almost 1 so we got ready to go. I hunted down Annie and told her we where leaving and she starts to play the Imma ignore you cuz u r leaving game. But she didnt do it in a mean way. She just starts to dance infront of me and ignores what I say. Bascially she was trying to get me to dance. I ofcourse was playing dumb and her friend tell me Annie will answer me only if i dance with her. DAmn..... if she wasnt there I could have continued to play dumb. So I start moving around pethetically and everyone starts to laugh but Annie, which came as a surprise. Annies friend mumbles something to Jeff and they both start to laugh and point at me. OKOKOKOK so I said FK it, its been yrs since I have danced but I'll try. I took my jacket off and started to dance with Annie. I gotta say it felt good to finally let myself go like that. After this little show we all said good bye and Jef, Ben and I took off. All in all this night was pretty good, it has been awhile since we found a place where the women arnt bitches and ignore ppl. The women at the club tonight were all pretty nice and atleast 2 of them was nice enough to lie to Jeff to get away insted of ignoring him. :P Annie on the other hand NEEDS TO MOVE her ass to LA. She's now here on a regular basis. FK..... now that I gave in tonight Imma have to give in on the Marine Corps Ball and dance. Imma make a fool of myself infront of a million marines.... great...............

Everytime I get really bored I open up my photo album on my computer. Today I did and I looked through the millions of pics i scanned and took through the yrs and I just want to reflect back on it. This is to all my friends and ESP to the friends so close to me that they are pretty much my brother. Remember back when we were all in Jr and high? Pretty much back when many of us 1st met each other? Damn we looked dorky but it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. The little birthday parties we would have at home.

HAHA.... OMG my glasses were almost at big as my head same with Ray. As we grew older we all stepped foot into High school.

Even in HS we still looked for ways to goof around and some of use remember those Fri nights where we played Counter-strike with water guns and shiet.HAHA Remember when the cops came cuz we were all sneeking around everywhere in teams?

Now we can't forget the dances back in HS, where getting a date was a big thing.

We spend a arm a and leg to rent the damn tux and another arm and leg for her flowers and the tickets.

Now we cant forget the lan parties we had where you all took the computers to my house and laned for days on end. What was it that we played?

As the yrs of HS start to end we all get ready for college and stuff. We grow older and start dressing 1/2 ass better.

Ray, Adam and I decided to get stupid and join the Marine Corps also.

And then there is that 1st yr of college where we moved into our dorms and visited each others dorms to see what sad ass is paying a few thousand bucks a yr for a prison cell.

But regardless of distance and school we all managed to get together every now and then and kick it. But we act as fobs and bring millions of cameras and take millions of pics at a damn cafe.

In college we learned what it is like to get drunk and do some stupid shiet.

And even though we are older we still have our childish moments. (Without beer)

We all get new friends in college and introduce them to your friends.
All said and done we still have so much more ahead of us. Most of us are in our early 20's and many are done with college and many are also still in college. With the threat of war and all I think about the past often. I treasure my memories of you all and regardless of bad times we may have had with eachother I'd still do anything for you all. I want to thank you all for being my friends and hope that we have a lifetime of memories ahead of us. Yeah this is more or less a mushy post but hey, we all have our little moments and this is mine! :) Have a nice day or if u r reading this is the middle of the night 99.

Riddle me this Riddle me that....
What has 2 legs, 2 arms, a nice body and likes to do the mexican hat dance on your heart?
THE GIRL THAT YOU LIKE!
Damn the last few days have been very intresting.... as a matter a fact the last few yrs have been intresting on this subject. What guys go through for girls they are with, after or a crush on.
Today I watched as this friend of mine (Ben) and some of the other guys went out to dinner with this girl (Nancy) and her friend. My Ben likes this Nancy and he is trying to go out with her. Dinner went nicely then her friend had to go home. We all went to my house afterwards and chilled. Later we all went to Tapioca Express. Everything continued to go smooth untill she got this call. After that fk.... she just straight out ignored everyone and just yapped yapped yapped on the phone. She talk in English then Manderine then Chu Chow, WTF? She's bitching about some guy she used ot see right infront of us. She knows that my friend likes her and all but she just blabs blabs on the phone.
My opinion...
There is something about guys today... we have a ego, we try to live like we are tough but when a women walks by we turn to fking jelly! Chueng for instance, he meets a girl and they start going out and just having "fun" with eachother. He tells everyone that its just fun nothing serious but b 4 we knew it he and her are a couple and he calls her EVERYTIME we go out and eat and reports in. Not saying it's a bad thing but WTF!? She now has him under his thumb, yes his thumb, she has so much control that she doesnt even need to use her own thumb! FK that, why mess up her own thumb, she snaps he responds! LOL yeah yeah yeah some of you have been with me through thick and thin and you guys see what happends to me. Sick huh? Just like Ben just sat there and watched as Nancy dissed him. Jeff and Amy's little games, OOOO and the other JEFF (FOB JEFF) and his GF. Damn that guy is whooped, ever go to his blog site? it's on my links... all he talks about is what he and her did all day and how much he loves her and blah blah blah blah... EVEN HIS AWAY MESSAGE says that. God...... please. The weird thing is that if a girl breaks up with a guy and they guy tries to talk to her she thinks he is a freak BUT if he breaks up with her its O.K. for her to try and talk to him and find out why. WTF? double standerds.... It's amazing when it comes to relationships women, who are supposed to be delicate and sweet and all that, can be the most evil person in the world. You don't do as she says your fked! Just put a bullet in your own head. And how women can grab a mans heart out and eat it and then want to be friends. But utimately the results are the same, women... can't live without them. We all need them, we all look for them... and in one way or another they make us happy.

This blog has finally caused some drama lol. (Jeff and amy) Today Amy called mike and ben and mike told everyone that amy the one that uses Jeff is on the phone. OOOOOOOoooooo Amy was wondering WTF and then called Jeff and asked him WTF. Jeff called mike and ben and asked them why did they say that and they said they were joking. Jun then called Amy and asked her why doesnt she just break up with her BF and get with Jeff since they are together already. Amy asked Jun who said that they are even together and Jun blamed it on me! WTF!? Turns out Mike told Jun to say that. Well Amy called Jeff again and asked Jeff why would I say that for. Jeff didnt know why and I NEVER SAID THAT. Everyone talked at the end and it turns out that Mike and everyone else minipulated what I said on my blog and decided to go public with it. HAHA ppl.... Well now everything is ok but that doesnt mean I will stop. Like I always say, this site is my opinion on things and here to the left is a pic of Jeff and Amy. Take it however you ppl want to :oP.

DAMN I was hurting today! After walking around magic all day yesterday... I think i'm getting too old for this shiet. I wake up at like 2pm hehehe and I had a 6:00 class. My Dad got home at like 4:30 and told me my car had a flat. Fk..... it was a fking nail, I had put on my spare and I went to school. I guess I have to wake up early tomorrow... hmm 12 and get my tire fixed. I drove my dad inifinity cuz I didn't wanna use my spare, all the power made me think of my SC400. I MISS HER SO MUCH! OMG the speed. Today is also bens 21st B-day. We went to BJ's and ate dinner and made Ben drink alittle outta everyones drink plus his own. Needless to say he was FKED up.

JEFF...
HAHA I was right! Jeff did study ALITTLE then he went out with Amy. He told me that he would go to magic if Amy went and now I know why he didnt go and what he really did. Sad sad sad sad .... Who is Amy? Hmmmm Amy is a friend and she has a BF, though I never seen him b 4. Does she like Jeff? I dunno... if so she is EVIL and is playing too many games. How do I know If Jeff really likes her? Jeff claims that he doesnt like her but he pays for her everytime she goes out with us. He is the one that always drives to pick her up and drops her off. Jeff is sure to show up on any given event if Amy is there. I dont understand why Jeff doesnt admit that he likes her and is trying to go out with her. No point in denying it to friends.

My Weekend,
I had a pretty decent weekend starting thurs. Paul and I went to a bar across the street from Miage's. We met up with Annie and her friends there. We drank and did whatever it is ppl do in bars. The sercurity guys at the door where pretty kewl to my and so where the valet guys. They all came up to my car when I pulled up and took a walk around on my car and gave me props for it and the valet guys took care of my baby when I went in. Like always I drive so I never really drink too much.... except for vegas trips and tahoe trips. It was nice to see Annie again but I swear I see more of her now than b 4 she moved back home. I swear she comes down here to visit ppl weekly! Southwest must lover her. Fri day.... WTF did I do fri? damnit... hold on and let me think..... 5 min........oh yeah duh.... I DIDNT DO JACK ON FRI. I just went to LAX to pick up my dad. Oh but the freaky thing was that girl I used to see every now and then called me again. Yeah the same one that called me the last time I went to LAX (read post from 9/4/2002). But I was kewl, she and I talked till I got to LAX and she told me to go to her place after cuz she had 2 free magic tickets for me to use fror my friends. That was nice of her, thanks lilly. Sat. Scott lee cameover and Jeff and I installed his PPI amp. I taught and made lee do all the shitty work. Sunday.... MAGIC!!!! GOD I haven't gone to magic this many times in a 2 month spread for a long time. We got there at like 1pm and didnt leave till 10pm. It was fun though, we never seem to fail to have fun at magic, no matter what. Everyone is now talking about going to Disneyland but fk......... I wanna go but that place it for couples and little kids. I guess I should call Nora huh? HAHAHA fk no!

JEFF....
Damn, I can't belive Jeff studied today and didn't go to Magic. I'm gonna find out if that's true later today. No one has seen Jeff study since he and I dormed at Poly in 98! but if he did, I'm glad he is finally starting to listen to me and get his shit straight.

Small world,

Now most of all remember Catherine To. HEHE yeah that ex of mine from fresh yr. Well talk about a freaking small world! There is this girl I talk to every now and then, she recently graduated UCSD and I never talked to her about Cat. Well today ti came up and she asked what happend, I told her the long story and she freaked out. She asked for a pic of Cat if I had one and I have the Ball pic from 98 scanned so I sent it to her. She almost fell out of her seat. Remember when I told you guys that I heard Cat had some 3 way relationship? Basically she was going out and having sex with this couple. Well my friend knew that couple. Turns out that it was some guy and his wife. His wife met Cat and things got hot, she asked her husband if it was ok if she slept with Cat. Her husband gave her the thunmbs up and so they did. Then later her husband joined them. Cat ended up falling for the husband and tried to break them up, at the end the husband left Cat and kept his wife. HMM... does anyone remember them vietnam movies? Was Cat in that cuz she is viet. hehe N E WAYS....My friend doesn't talk to the couple anymore but she had a pic of them with CAT! OMFG this is fun gossip. It's no longer a rumor, it's fact. Hmmm... wonder if she'll show at the 10 yr HS reunion. I'll see what the comments are and if you guys want then I'll ask her for the file and post the pic.

Daniel = BI girls?

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? Why do I get all the bi chicks? My 1st GF, the girl I went out with last yr and the girl I went out with right before her are all BI or BI courios. Yeah it maybe it's every guys dream but I never did anything about it cuz I'm not looking for that . I needa fking normal relationship. Are all girls now BI or something? Does anyone know a CUTE, NONE FOBBY(prefer ABC but its ok), SMART, NONE HOOCHIE girl let me know. hahaha sounds like a personal ad.

Marine Corps. Ball....

Every year in Nov. the marine corps has a ball, its like a HS prom. It's to celerbrate the marines corps birthday and to honor the ones before us. Last yr iI went with evelyn. Well this yr I asked annie to go with me again. Yes... the same Annie. It's at the Del Mar Hilton in SD. They just better not bust me down b 4 the ball cuz i dont wanna change my uniforms. N e ways back onto the topic, I'm getting lectured by some of u ppl about me asking Annie to go again. Here is my take on it, 2 yrs ago I asked her to go to the Ball with me at vegas and things went sour.... really sour. Yes it sucked, yes it was messed up in a way but hey I got over it. A yr after that we ran into each other on the 1st tahoe trip and we patched things up. Scared the living crap outta me but we patched things up. Now almost a yr since we started to talk I can say that she has changed. I don't think any of u guys have seen her since 2000. I know what I'm doing, I freaking needa date for the ball and I know that shit aint gonna hit the fan again. Top it off, I dunno but she was never mean to u guys. just to mean and only God knows why. I swear I'm like God creation of a punching bag, that's prob why I'm single too! I needa start hitting back... not literaly. Here I go... going off topic again. Just trust me ppl, I know ur my friends and all but I'll b just fine. She has changed... A LOT.

Xterra,

Yesterday Sean and Jeff came over at 11AM and we worked on my car all day. Jeff left at around 5 so sean and I finished the rest and we finished alittle past 6. All 3 of us were fking tired. I started the project a few days prior which racked up about 10 hrs of working on the car alone before yesterday. The end result from yesterday was gutting everything outta the back of the car. We put all the crap on a table and we ran outta room. We took out the old rack and for the 1st time in over a yr I was able to see the bottom of my trunk. I had already cut most of the wood and painted it prior to yesterday. That way we wouldn't have to waist time and wait for the pain to dry. Jeff started the rewiring on my speakers and sean and I worked on the final touches to the amp rack, drilling, cutting and painting. by 3:30pm we had the NEW amp rack in the car BARE NAKED. Now was the pain in the ass part, to get all my crap mounted into the rack. That took us 3 hrs. At the end it was 6 and we were too tired to start making the new cover so we just threw on the old on for now. I gotta say my car has more space now and It looks pretty tight.

Palmdale,

Jeff left at 5 because he was meeting up with the rest of the guys to go to palmdale. Sean and I where iffy about going but we decided to go meet them up there after we finshed the amp rack. It's about 1 hr and 15 mins away so I threw in a new DVD i bought a few days ago. "PETER PAN RETURN TO NEVER NEVER LAND!" Fk yeah... HEHEHE the disney section of my DVD collection is getting pretty big.

U.S. Marines

Some of you guys didn't understand WTF is going on with me and the Marines. So this post is to recap what happend to me and what's going on now.
I went to MCT on june 18th, few days later i got hurt and tore 3 ligaments in my ankle. The way I got hurt was I came back 4 hrs early sunday from liberty to see of any 3 marines in my platoon needed to go to town to take care of their uniforms or haircuts before 5pm when liberty ends and we have a inspection. I ran across the shitty streets at MCT and I stepped on the curb wrong, I heard a snap in my ankle and I fell down. I tried to walk it off and I found 3 marines and my ex and I took them to town. I got my haircut and by the time I got out of the chair I could barely walk. My ex took me the Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton and they treated me. She took me back to MCT and I reported back in. The next day I was sent to BAS (battalion aid station) at MCT where the doc. took a closer exam at my ankle and they put me on light duty for 7 days, which ment I couldn't start the training. There was also a rumor floating around that I asked my unit to demote me so I wouldn't have to come to MCT. That's some gay stupid shit because this place we filled with pvt. pfc and LCpl's. So I got a lot of heat from the ppl there cuz now I am hurt and I have this gay ass rumor going around. After the 7 days my ankle was still big and nasty I asked the Doc to put me on full duty so I can pick up with golf company the next day and start the training. I got what I asked and the next day I picked up with golf company. I was placed as the guide(leader) of my platoon and I was in a world of shit. I was hurting bad. The instructors knew about my situation and told me to just try if I can. 2 days later we did our 1st major hike 4K. About alittle more than a mile out I fell behind the company cuz I couldn't keep up with my ankle. I was getting yelled at left and right and I made it to the 1/2 way point where we rested. The CO came up to me and watched as the field Doc. took of my boots and looked at my ankle. When the doc saw it he was like DAMN.... and the CO asked me what did I want him to do with me so I told him to let me push on. He gave me a chance and said that if I can make it to the finish line by the time the company does their rifle counts then I can stay. I didn't make it. I was allowed to stay with the training company for 4 more days and I did all the training they did. The following monday I was sent to BAS again and I was put on light duty for 14 days. I was placed in rab. platoon and I was placed as the guide for the whole platoon. (180 broken marines). During my time there I was told to try and help these new marines and pass down my experiance to them. One case of this was a PVT came to me and told me that he was a reservist and he needed to get back for school. I thought that he was a incramental reservist like I am so school is more important by contract. He called his unit and I talked to them, I told them who I was and that I am just a guide and a student but I am trying to gather info for the ppl that work there. They told me that he wasn't a incramental reservist and that they can see what they can do. Needless to say I got yelled at for talking to the unit by the school. A few weeks later there was a family day at my unit and I wanted to take my family there so I asked the reserve liason if I can get special permission to drive my car home so I can take my family to the family day at my unit. It was denied. This is some the things that happend there and leads to my charges.

Charges...
I was charged with not finishing MCT and to that was a letter from a SSGT at MCT. The asshole made up shiet and blew everything I did bigger than it really was. He said that when I called the unit I told them I worked at MCT. I was fking around at rehab, I got hurt running from the PX, I told the school that my unit needed me to go back to the unit because I need to be a driver for the unit at the family day. He also said that I fell out of the 4K hike less than 200 yards out. HOW THE HELL can he even know all this as a fact, does he follow me everywhere I go!? This ass whipe is full of fking shit and I can't belive that he said that. WTF did I do to him? Well the board couldn't come with a verdict for me on sunday.

My opinion...
FK this shit, stupid grunts that couldn't score high enough on the asvab to get a decent job. Funny that there are 1st SGT's i know and many other marines I know that tell me that MCT is the dumping ground for problem marines and stupid marines. By that I mean many of the ppl that work there are forced there because they did something stupid. There are some there that are stationed there by choice. I can't wait to get out of the corps. sad.....

U.S. Marines

Well today is my big day, in 10 min. I go up stairs and stand infont of the board so see if they are going to bust me down a rank for shit I didn't even do. I'm freaking nervous as hell, I spent all morning getting rady for this crap. Gunny spent 20 min telling me everything to expect for this board. Supposely MCT sent a damn e-mail to my unit tell them I came back cuz I lied to them and said that the unit needed me ASAP. WTF!? I swear ppl in the corps. lie like there is no tomorrow. All that crap they teach us in boot camp about honesty and intergrity! LOL yeah right..... well It's time. My next post I'll be either a Corporal still or a lance corporal.

Wish me Luck!

Speech 1 class fear of speaking...

Today this white chick dropped outta my speech class because we have to stand infront of the class and give a small speech. I can't belive someone would drop out of the class because of that. This class is supposed to teach us how to stand onfront of ppl and give speeches. I guess she doesn't care about her academic requierments because she said that this is a REQUIRED class for her to take to transfer. Too bad too, she was cute and had huge boobs. She sat right infront of me and I talked to her all the time. Hehehe... now this class is gonna be boring and there will be nothing for me to look at when I'm there. My intructor is some OLD ass guy who is always 15-30 min late for class and he never teaches the class till the end. I starts at 2:30 but we never start till almost 3 and it ends at 4 but we usually leave at 3:30 to 3:45. I can't understand a word this old man says because he mumbles but it's a easy class. This one girl made salsa in class for her speech. It was like a demonstration speech but it was cool cuz now I know how to make salsa from scratch. I never knew that you had to roast the tomato before you turn it into slush.

Hair cut

Hmmmm I hate getting my haircut every week or so..... marine corps haircut regulations argggg. I have to got o base tomorrrow and I have to skip my accounting class tonight so i can get my haircut! LOL fking gay.

2002-09-05T02:27:00.000-07:00

Ahhh.... another day gone.

I woke up kinda early today, 1:30pm, cuz I gotta call from my unit. I was told I am authorized to go to work fri to make up a day i missed a few months back. Ohh... did i forget to say that I was authorized to miss that day but now the marine corps.wants to charge me and bust me down a rank to lance corporal. On top of that they wanna charge me for ripping 3 ligaments in my ankle during training this past summer, which caused me to not finish MCT. I can't wait till june 15th 2004, that's just 1 yr and 9 months away. That's the day I will be happy to say GOOD BYE marine corps. I worked to damn hard to earn my rank of corporal and now they wanna take it away cuz I got hurt and then try skrewing me over with a work day. Stupid shit... I used to think I would be ok with my child joining the services, now... FK that. Well... atleast not the marines.

I started to rebuild my AMP rack for my xterra today, I went outside at like 4:00pm when it was much cooler and started to cut the wood. It's gonna take forever. I have so much crap in my car and I have to figure out a nice way in putting it all in on the rack. I can't belive how much $$$ I pissed into this car. It's kinda like hmmm.. hehehe.. well it's kinda like dating, you go out with one girl for while, you guys get close, you do it, then it breaks apart and you are single again. Do this cycle over and over again and before you know it, you have fked way to many girls then you would like, for moral reasons. Same shit goes for my car, I spend 100 here 200 there 50 here 1000 there and from my last calculations I have spend roughly $5,000 on the audio/multi-media section of the car! MSRP of my shit comes out to over $10,000!!! WTF was i thinking? I get freaking paranoied when I park my car in areas I'm not too familiar with. Why would I want to put myself through all this drama? I dunno... it's cool? LOL

MY ROOM

hmmm.... most of you guys must agree I NEEDA CLEAN THIS SHIT UP! I have been so busy lately and when I'm not out I'm hella lazy at home so I haven't cleaned my room AT ALL. It's so damn bad now that I can barely walk around. I think imma clean it when I get back from base on sunday. I'll take a pic of this mess... It's the worst it has ever been. hmmm maybe I won't take the pic......

O.K.... Time for a real POST!

This past weekend was Labor day weekend. I guess I had a decent amount of fun. I didn't do jack shit on friday, but on Sat. I went to LAX to pick up my uncle and his family. On the way there, this girl I used to see called me. She and I talked till my uncle and them got out of the terminal. She and I never really was a couple but we went out with eachother a lot back in the days. She was telling me what could have been and crap and I was just playing along cuz I was bored. I dunno... Sometimes I think that she could have been a decent GF but yet she isn't what I'm looking for in a girl. Relationships are so DAMN annoing. N E ways Inyork called me, jeff and jack later and I we with Inyork to the Century club. It was a good club, most of the ppl there are pretty old. I was fking stupid cuz I went there with a empty stomach and drank. That messed me up fast.

Sunday...

Sunday was some guys birthday party for team boneout. I didnt know who this fk it was but Ben asked all of us to go. Jeff, Hsing, Jack and Amy went there with me, when we got to the beach it was freaking packed with PPL. I never go into the water in So Cal and after looking around I would never. There were these ppl that looked HELLA raunchy. I'd bet anything that these ppl are pissing all over the beach. Well 1/2 the ppl that showed up for the party looked like jailbait, the whole party ended looking like a bunch of HS seniors or college freshman. There were these hooched out girl that showed up. From a distance they looked o.k... but fk man... the closer they got the younger they looked and the uglier they got! If i ever have a little girl IMMA BEAT her ass if she dresses like that. Most of the ppl at the party didn't give these girls the time of day. These girls wanted freaking attention too... so to get it they would so stupid shit like poke ppl they don't fking know and run back to their liitle group and giggle or run into the middle of the fire pit and scream. It was gay.

HOOHIES

Monday....

FK it was HOT! I woke up at like 1:00 in the afternoon and at about1:30 i jumped on the computer and started to talk to friends on AIM. I remembered that Ben mentioned something about us going to Magic one of these days this long weekend and it was monday already. We all have season passes and we only used them freaking once. So i started to ask everyone if they wanted to go. By 2:30 it was all set and we had 12 ppl going. We met up at 3:30 at seans house and by 5:00 we were in line for X. HeHeHe... that was fun. oo pics..... here i'll share some.

2002-09-04T15:25:00.000-07:00

Took me freaking hrs but I finally found a webpage that will let me store pics and put them up. So now I can make this thing look 1/2 ass decent. It's amazing how much HTML I forgot. This shit used to be so EZ for me. Damn.... I think I needa start doing this more.

WELCOME to my new BLOG,
I decided to start this BLOG because 1/2 of you all are doing it. ("Dreaming with Dan") I decided to name this site "Dreaming with Dan" because it is said that dreams describes peoples deepest thoughts and opinions in their lives. So this means anything goes on my BLOG. I will be venting out all my opinions on this page and I have no doubt that sometimes I may piss some of you off. Don't take it to heart, it's just my personal opinions.
