What the F*CK MAN!

http://www.elitestv.com/pub/2005/Mar/EEN4242d7bd5ce73.html

This shit is messed up! Excessive weight?? I'm not that chubby?

Articles like this really worry me! :(

Midterm Today & My Body is STILL on MEXICO time!!

I'm all screwed up man! I took a serious nap yesterday to get my body back into sync. Then I even went to bed at like 10:30 (okay, well more like 10:52) - but nothing!! I still woke up at 4:30 am (like I did for the past 4 days!!). What the hell!! I'm so frigin tired!

Side Note: Craigslist in Space (yeah, I kinda wanted to post an ad looking for a sexy 18 y/o alien chick - but I got lazy).

Anyways, off to re-memorize trig identities (who knew double angle & sum/difference formulas were so important!! grrrr)

Downloading TV shows!

I read an interesting article the other day (ie. yesterday, while procrastinating - yeap still doing that!! midterm tomorrow).

Anyways, the article was about downloading TV shows. Apparently, networks are trying to crack down on downloads - like the O.C. & stuff. But it goes against good logic. TV show downloads are only available AFTER they have been premiered on television! But in the 1980's laws were PASSED that that ALLOWED people to RECORD onto VHS tapes! So it is legal to RECORD the O.C. on VHS & give it to someone who missed it. Which isn't much different from Recording it onto an MPG or AVI file & giving it to someone who missed it!

Similairly, recording music on cassette tapes - isn't much different... Whatever, EVERYTHING should be FREE!! Or atleast cost close to pennies!

God Damn Passwords!!!

I hate the fact that you have to have passwords & usernames for everything!!! How the hell are you suppose to remember all of them!!! I just opened up a foreign exchange account & I already forgot the username & password!!! GRRRRR

And I had to go through SOOO many security checks to setup my account (you know, terrorities, money laundaring, blah, blah security). Damn it!

When everyone is born they should be given TWO unique usernames & be allowed a universal password (that can be changed). I say TWO - because one would be for legit stuff like banks & school - the other would be for shady stuff you sign up over the web (why the hell do you have to sign up / register to post a comment on a forum??? Or read some stupid review article!! Or download FREE software!! GRRRRR).

For future reference all my usernames & passwords from now forth will be: KINGGAJTHEFOURTH, password (10101010). Remind me if I forget!

Yo Peanut!

Okay, so talking to SARS on msn reminded me of another Rosarito story. Plus, I'm still procrastinating from school. I don't want to read about Infinite Fourier Transforms :(

Anyways, so on Friday (my sweet night)... here I am making my rounds in the club. I see some dudes doing the whole in the circle, showing off your moves thing. So I start watching... Then the dude standing beside me (all in red) turns to me & looks at me funny!

I'm like 'okay'?? Then he starts SMILING AT ME! Like HARDCORE SMILING!! And he starts talking to me & is like:

Dude in Red: "Yo man, I know you man, I know you!"
Gaj: "Um, okay?"
Dude in Red: "Yo man, where are you from?"
Gaj: "I'm from NY" (girls from LA love guy from NY :D )
Dude in Red: "Yo man, I know you man, I know you!"
Gaj: Smiling (trying to be polite).
Dude in Red: "Yo.." (pointing his finger at me) "You're Peanut man!! Yo Peanut! How've you been man! Yo Peanut Guy!"
Gaj: (in my head, I'm like wft?? Peanut?? ha ha ha) I smile politely nodd my head & move away!

lol. The Dude is still looking at me & smiling! ha ha ha! what the hell! Now the other interns on the trip call me "Peanut" ha ha ha!

Okay, so I'm gonna try to study! I need to do this... come on Gaj! Infinite Fourier Transforms are your friend!

VHS Technician at Your Service!!

Today is such a blah day! I woke up on time (well almost ~ 7:30) & went to the gym. But I was too tired to work out - so I just took a shower & came into work. And I guess I'm real tired cause I haven't cooked any healthy/proper food since I got back from Me-He-Co.

Side Note: Real Mexician Food is the *ish! But what the hell is all that crap they sell in the US & Canada??? You know the kind that screws with your stomach.

Anyways, I figure no point of cooking since my folks are flying in on Friday. Might as well, cook after they leave.

Well, by now you're wondering what the hell the title has to do with food... well, nothing. But the good news is I am officially a self-proclaimed VHS Tape Technician! Since last night me & Dan-na-nan sat down to watch last weeks O.C. & wouldn't you know it - the tape screws up! This is the 2nd tape that screwed up / got eatten up!! Grrrr - I need to stop buying "Durabrand" tapes. Anyways with our screw driver & spatula in hand, Me & Dan preformed surgery on the 1st (ginea pig) tape. Oh & what a tragety that was!! We lost a good tape that day & the blood will forever be on our hands!!

After debating we decide to attempt surgery again on the O.C. tape. With precision & care we disected it. We attempted to fix the tape & tried to watch it... No Luck! We opened the sucker up again & started removing components we felt were unneccessary (kinda like your appendix or tonsils). Better luck - but still the tape did not function. Finally, we make our judgement call & open the sucker up for the 3rd time... but this time, we remove ALL components that we do not see the need for! Tiny little screws, springs, plastic pieces, etc... & Whala! It worked! (Why the hell do tapes have all this crap in there that it doesn't need???)

After the O.C. I wanted to watch the contender... But I saw a large spider & ran home crying!

Crap, I have a midterm for PDE on Thursday. I haven't studied yet. I thinking I'm procrastinating!! I should study... but instead I will use this blog to waste more time! Damn it, Gaj! You are such a slacker!

Burnt Out from Rosarito Beach!

Snap man, I haven't done crap today! I'm still burnt out! I need sleep!! Right about now, I'd be takin a nap before I head out to the clubs for the night! ha ha.

Man my body clock is all out of whack. The last few nights I've been coming home at 5-6 in the mornin'.

Now I'm just sitting here surfing the web - looking for something interesting. I'm to tired to even go on Craigslist! Which is a shock for me! blah, blah, blah.

Too tired to do anything - not concious (sp? - whatever) enough to read anything. Need to do the laundry at home - need to sleep!

Snap man, I'm gonna be leaving california in 3 months!! Damn, this place as been so sick!

People (some from T.O.) have wondered how a country boy could go back to the country after living the night life in Toronto. Now I'm wondering how Can I go back to live in Toronto after seeing the life in California!?!

I mean, here in Cali - there is everything, everything T.O. has time 100! The diversity! The weather! The sites! The water, the beaches! The nightlife! Everything. Man it's gonna be tough to live anywhere but here.

I'm actually thinking of moving to San Deigo for a month after my internship. Man that place is SICK! Well, looks like half-asleep Gaj is rambling again. Okay, gonna surf the web a little more!

G-G-G-G-G-Unit!

Oh man - a next spring break story. So on Saturday night, Gaj gets TOSSED out the club (literally). But whatever, I'll take that!! Better that then getting JACKED!

So most of y'all know about the G-Unit, NY beef. It all started with Ja Rule & 50 cent getting into heat at some record studio. Ja claimed 50 snitched to the cops - while 50 denies it. I'm sure he did - cause boy have I been there. You get into beef with some dude & you want to fight it out - but all you're boys are telling you to snitch to place a barrier to protect YOU from the law from future fights! You listen to them & that's were everything gets screwed up for yourself. But hey, that's life - a learning experience! Whatever, that's personal beef.

So anyways, then 50 recently starts talking trash about Jadakiss, Fat Joe & Nas (all NYers). Nas because he "apparently shouldn't do records with J.Lo - cause 50 had already done one" - who does that? Jada & Fat Joe - cause they did that NY, NY jam with Ja (which by the way they don't play in Cali).

But all these NY dudes are cool & legit - so they're all just shruggin off 50's comments. FJ laughed at 50's attempted disses. Jada made a SICK!! Track dissin 50 - "you had to get shot 9 times to become famous" lol. Where can you download these underground records anyways?? And Nas said - "the last artist that got in to beef with me, RETIRED & now he's on an R&B tour" (ha ha Jay-Z).

So anyways, with all that bkgrnd info - it's G-Unit weekend in Rosarito. And Young Buck is preforming on Saturday. It's all good - until the DJ starts talking trash about Jada, FJ & Nas. I mean, frig Nas is a frigin LEGEND! All these little dumb f*cks go after him?? (dumbass cocky Kanye W & 50). He has more skill & respect - cause he's legit - not a fake rapper talking about money & gold & hoes & trash! I love Nas's music - cause his lyrics expand the mind.

So naturally, I get pissed! Mainly, cause I'm frigin plaster (wow - who knew tippin a bar keep 2 bucks would get me double shot Margaritas all night!). So here I am on the 3rd belcher from the ground - beer in hand.

So I frigin tossed my almost full beer at the stage at the DJ & Young Buck!!

Thank GOD it missed 'em cause Gaj would have probably got his ass kicked!! And Thank GOD that bouncer grabbed me & kicked me out the club before Gaj got his ass kicked!

For some reason, it didn't connect that Young Buck was the same dude that stabbed some dude at the Vibe awards! Opps. Oh well, I got kicked out & I deserved it.

But whatever, I mean G-Unit has good music & all - but they have no right to trash an artist like Nas! It's like bitting the hand that feeds you! I said it when he first came out & I'll said it again! 50 cents is one of those FAKE THUG rappers. Now doubt he GOT SHOT 9 times - but I ain't never seen him shot back - so why act like he does. 50's music is pretty sick - but don't go knocking someone cause you think you're a bad ass. Just stick with your single the Magic Stick - oops - I mean the Candy Shop... Or is it the Magic Stick??? Wait what's the difference between those two tracks again?? That's just like that Ja Rule crap, singing the same track with slight modifications. CALL IT A REMIX - don't pawn it off for a new track!

Well, that's my Two / 50 cents on the matter.

Rosarito Beach Spring Break Baby! Sick!

"I'm going, going, back to, back to, cali, cali!" - lol. Just a random song in my head.

Okay, so here I am back at work after a 5 day weekend! This weekend was sick - even though I ended up dropping like FIVE bills (yeah, that's USD too!). But it was all good. The weather was kinda sketchy - about 18-25 Celcius (Snap - is that how you spell it? Damn, I'm almost frigin american?) & it drizzled on Friday.

But Friday, was by far the sickest night. Where to start?? Pure Girls! Pure Good Music! Pure Alcohol! And what had to be the best part! Mexico is so frigin corrupt! You grease everyone with money to get where ever you want. Don't want to wait in line for the club - slip the bounce a five. Want your food order to ready before all other orders - slip the cook a dollar bill. You want two shots of liquor in a single drink - slip the bar keep a dollar bill.

It was the worst - after I came back into the US, I was still tipping people! lol. Imagine ordering a Big Mac & nearly giving the cashier 3 quarters for her troubles! lol. No for real, I did that!

Man I got so much play up in the clubs man - my game was tight! Man, I had so many frigin GUYS telling me my game was tight - giving me shot outs!! A couple folks even bought me DRINKS! lol. You want to hear something funny as hell??

These Mexican Dudes even came to me & were like "Hey man, my boy here as a big house of the top of the hills man. Why don't you come by & bring your lady friends." ha ha ha. Are you frigin kidding me?? Man, I even had to tip the bouncer a few bones to bodyguard my "lady friends" - cause pure guys were trippin all over them. They were a hot group of typical californian girls (blonde/blue eyes/yada-yada) that I met in my hotel. I think they said from Chico state (Cali)? But MAN!!! Could they DRINK!!! I somehow met up with them EVERY night & EVERY night that were frigin PLASTERED!!! I mean these girls could DRINK!! I'd be willing to bet $100 bucks that they could out drink ANY & EVERY one I know - and I know some hardcore drinkers! Damn, in one night they drank more than I did all weekend!! Yet they still maintained their composure - I was impressed!! Plus it didn't hurt that they were bi-sexual & they kept making out at the club! (even while we were on the dance floor - me being sandwiched between 'em!! God Damn!!). Okay - now this post is getting a little too detailed (i.e. I'm rambling). So I'm gonna end this post.

But Me-He-Co was SIICCCCK!

Rosarito Beach Baby!

I'm pumped! Driving down to San Diego Tonight! Taking a bus into Me-He-Co tomorrow! Sick! Spring Break Baby!! I've always wanted to go - but go figure that reading week is offset from spring break by a month!

I'm soo pumped! Just picked up the minivan - already packed. Finished my work (just waiting for my boss to check over my last report). Frig man, the energy is bumping through me! I'm ready to go - let me outta here!

Better end my post here... otherwise, I'm just gonna be repeating "I'm pumped", "I'm ready to go", "I'm pumped" - lol.

Okay, so I'm logging off... frig man - I'M SOOO PUMPED!!!!

Only 3 months left!

So we went out to SF last night & the conversation came to a halt (well, it did twice - the 1st when I saw last weeks O.C. tape to find out low & behold Julie was a Pornstar :O ).

But it really came to a halt when Dan said that we only have 3 more months left of our internship!! WHAT! Are you kinding me?? Where did all that time go? There is so much I haven't done! So much I need to do! So little time! I'm not READY to leave! (especially after hearing T.O.'s weather forecast!). Time is gonna go by so fast!

I mean next week/weekend I'm gonna be in MEXICO! Rosarito Beach for Spring Break!! Then I'm gonna come back for a week - then take another week off to see the sites with my folk (LA / Vegas / Yosemite) and then it's April! Then It's May, then it's June! Then my internship is OVER!! WHAT! I got to worry about selling my shit - selling my truck - selling my motorcycle - packing my shit - selling my furniture! - fighting my speeding ticket - finish my PDE course! What! This is gonna be crazy!!

I don't WANT TO LEAVE!

I feel SORRY for all my Toronto Folk!

I woke up this morning & was listening to Flow 93.5 (www.flow935.com) when the weather came on... A high of -3C, but it feels like -7C!! What! Damn man! It was +27C yesterday! It's been summer for like a week now! I think the Bay Area has the sickest weather (maybe excluding LA -> San Deigo - but it might be TOO hot there). Well here, is in the 15C to 30C for 9 out of 12 months. Two months of 7 to 15C. And ONE, I repeat ONE month of 5 to 10C (that being DECEMBER!) Go figure that december is the coldest month?

p.s. flowers started bloomming yesterday!


Ouch!!! Did I just HEAR right? -5C & Snowy in the T.dot? I don't wanna come back!

Stupid HR!

So my last day has been determined! Stupid Human Resources is forcing all interns to leave on June 24th!! grrrr. They are only extending our visa for one month! We were suppose to stay until the end of July. But now instead we have to leave when the company's Summer Shutdown occurs! Grrr. I was planning to stay till august! Oh well. The question is - what happens to my stock purchase plan now? I have to be working until July 31st for that to kick in?? Grrr.

Well, if that be the case: GajCo is going to take a sick 2-3 week vacation come end of June. Let's say San Diego - Los Angeles - Mexican Cruise - Las Vegas - Grand Canyon & more. That should be a pretty sick trip. Well, we'll see what happens.
