I'm not saying that I'm perfect nor do I strive for perfection.  But I feel like if I didn't keep moving forward, they'll do nothing but waste my time to get to where I want in life.  For me, it's either you're helping me out or holding me back. The last time I checked none of past acquintances (ex-friends) helped me move forward in life or helped me get to where I'm at. (it was all on me) And the last time I've checked, they are still broke, in their 30's and still living with their parents.  I don't know what is worse,  not having a job in your 30 years of living or lying to yourself that you're 30 and it's ok not to have a job.  What's the difference?

I think kids today are just plain spoiled/lazy.  This is not everybody. So don't think I'm being irrational about my thoughts nor am I blinded by my arrogance.  My theory is base on my own generalization of my life with my old friends.

I always looked up to my parents that came from a third-world country.  They started a new life in the United States. They gave us everything so we don't have to work as hard as they did.  It was suppose to teach us value and by working hard we could reach the next level easier since the backbone was done by our parents.  Instead they lie/cheat their way through life to be where I'm at.  Hell my parents traveled across the globe to escape communism and find freedom.  So what excuse do us young bucks have to not hustle the opportunity/money that are available to us?  There, perspective in a bottle for you

You can call me a hater for all you want.  But at the end of the day I don't want to be around/like them, like the way I don't want to be around rapist, child molesters, murderers, etc ...  So yeah if I'm wrong for hating those type of people, then I'm glad I'm hating on somethihg I believe in. (unless you guys like child molestors, rapists, and murderers, shame on you.. sick fuckers)

I like to be around people that are positive and has something going in their lives.  Is that so hard to ask for?.  It's depressing to say the least.  Sometimes I wonder how I made it this far in life.  If I dig deep down in my thoughts then it's pretty simple if you think about it.  Most of my decision is to make goals and execute it provided that you come with no excuses to put forth the effort and try in life.

You don't understand life until you love doing what you're doing, you're around love ones that understand what you're doing, and you finally understand what having responsibilites means in life. That's what I call being successful.  Money isn't everything I know.  But the saying still stand, "You get what you deserve." Self-explanatory really.  If you don't do anything, bum off others, work part time off a part-time job, sell drugs to be with par with the hard working citizen like us, yeah you'll get just that, "Nothing".  At the end you'll have nothing.  Trust me I've seen it and I've been through it!

They seem to think otherwise and complain about not being where they are suppose to be in life.  It's all dependent on your effort buddy.  You get what you put in.  It saddens me that they are afraid to fail.  But I do understsand people aren't risk takers and/or limited with this their skills in life.  But as far for my committment in life goes, I'm pushing myself regardless of what I'm capable of.  I think my whole take on life is to push hard and be logical about your decision.  Yeah  you'll come to a point where you will peak and plateau the next, sometimes dip into the valleys with your commitment.  But that's what life is about. To learn those and experience them.

I know a lot of people might not be able to relate to this but you would think my moves I've made so far would have a positive impact on them and help encourage them to work harder.  But nope, because skin-deep they hate you because you're making them feel like shit.  It's simple. If they can't succeed then they don't want you to succeed. Because for some odd reason they feel like your accomplishment should be dictated by their arrogant believes.  Isn't that something?  Why would I want to have friends that secretly hate me? 

With that being said, I'd like to thank the people that are my friends/currently talking to.  I am/are around people that are nerdy/geeky like I am.  I don't have to fake my ways or change the tone of my discussion because I'm afraid it might hurt the other person. I can talk about regular expressions if I wanted to.  More importantly I am myself.

I would like to take a moment and thank our Lord/God (the big dude upstairs) for giving me the freedom to enjoy a sporadic life in my younger years and learn from my mistakes.  For giving me the chance to grow up and be a pimp.  I will eradicate all my thoughts with my past life and will not dwell on friends that aren't where I'm at.  I would like to thank my parents in believing in me.  At the end I'll move forward while foo's sit still.  I can't be held accountable for their silliness and will not feel guilty for doing so.  I got to do what I got to do... Man I should write a book teaching people how not to be a bum LOL

Now if this offends you in any shape or forms, then it's probably you I highly speak of (hint of sarcasm of course).  Make moves before you talk down on others.  Where do you stand in terms of accomplishment and success in life?

Much Love

It doesn't make sense since I've received my packages from UPS and FedEx without any problem before.  I would understand my first package arrived and the second one didn't come through or vise versa.  But both package took a hike along the delivery stages. LOL

I don't think the wind blew it away because the packages are pretty heavy nor do I think my neighbors stole it from me LOL.  I think they delivered it to the wrong house.  Shit man, nobody in my neighborhood would think of mistakinly taking and keeping my package because I'm theonly dude in my community with such a long last name LOLOL.

I think they delivered it to the wrong city or something because there is no way in hell both my packages just gone missing when being delivered by USPS.  

I will never do business with them again. I warn others to the same.  Shady ass business with probably shady ass delivery dudes that don't know how to read my address properly.  Probably got high/cracked out or something...

 I never in my years ever experience this type of problem with my package not arriving at my home.

Just Pissed.

As far as my diet goes  I eat about the same portion as I always have.  Doing P90X everyday will gaurantee burnage.  My meal consist of  spaghetti, vegatables, rice, chicken/pork, and the occasional burger on the side LOL I know I know.  But man I can't cut my craving of burger.  Besides the program itself burns the shit the out of you and you'll burn what you eat in the same day.  As long as you don't over do it and follow the program you'll see result :)

I'm feeling fanstastic for the most part.  It was a struggle at the beginning, but man the accomplishment and result speaks for itself dude.  I'm gonna keep pushing it and I'll get some result up when the p90x program is up.

Much Love

It's a 95 Black/Tan Lexus GS300.  I know it may not sound like much to some people but they are a pretty rare breed.  You hardly see the 1st gen GS300 anymore.  The potential on these are almost endless. 2jz-gte, 5-speed conversion, NA-T, etc... need I say more?

I'm into the old skoo ish.  Well  in reality I wouldn't be able to afford one when I was 12 and plus  the law says I needed to be 16 yrs old at the time.  So double-failure back then and now I finally have one.

 My plan are: to make everything par to factory spec, tune-up, and some tlc, and monitor it and see how everything holds up.  Then I'll plan on getting a new paint job and a new motor :D

Thanks for looking

 Did I metioned that their mindset is dictatorial?  Nope, I'm not harsh either.  It seems to be that are really concern/shitting their pants (well they should be) about the future and fighting their way by taking out HTC and anybody else they feel is a threat.  Enevitably it will happen.  You're asking what will happen?  LOL well it's  happening otherwise Apple wouldn't take action against HTC.

 I don't hate Apple nor do I have any reason to.  But let's face it.  The last time Steve had some heatlh problems, the stock market dropped like dudes jumping off a 50 story building. :/  Okay, okay, that wasn't funny, but the analogy itself fits the description very well in this particular case :P  But that goes to show you that people are willing to get the fuck out when disaster is about to strike and go somewhere else.  If they want to be in a dictatorial framework then let them continue on with that fringe.  Frankly, when shit hits the fan, I won't be around, neither will anybody else :p 

 Back to what my discussion is really about. User Interface, WTF is a user interface? LMFAO! What makes a user interface a user interface?  Well let's break it down.  First of all go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface  So the general idea is basically the same on a software side of things, that is, to interact with the software and make things happen according to what we want from our software.

In our software world, let's be more specific shall we?, in a smartphone's world (for the sake of discussion/clarity), we have icons and each icons starts a program. It's just that simple. Well maybe not, but the general idea is like that LOL.  In some way a developer can create a UI different from another UI with key differences being but not limited to: colors, icons, ideas, background, which program/language it is using to create the interface, bunch more techical/detailed shit,  etc... So keep that in mind. 

Sometimes a user interface is easy to interact with, while other times it's mainly for the cool factor (Apples flashiness for example, you guys know it's true, don't lie... LOL :P), which in most cases doesn't help select a menu faster.  But over time the UI evolves, like automobiles with carbs to automobiles today with sophisticated ecu to control the pulse of a injector. :P  Now kick back and think about it for a sec.  Doesn't that sound like a user interface for anything we're accustom to? (Yes, everything..)  It's a recipe for everything that it has become.  So unless it's a direct copy of Apple's UI, I don't see how this will even hold up in court.  And if we're talking about infrigement, then isn't Apple infriging on smart phones, since they weren't the first to come up with the original smart phones? Who has the patent on the first smart phone... Ah, so I don't see anybody suing them for it....  I rest my case...

 Another thing I would like to mention is the 20 patents that HTC violated. In the article it doesn't mention what they are. So my thoughts are: either they aren't important enough to publicized, or they are going use it as a quantity win in court. You know, didn't respect our patent 1, patent 2, patent 3, and did I mentioned HTC didn't give a fuck about our patent 20, sobbing in the court room LOL.  But you guys know damn well it's because it's Google OS that they are after.  Sooner or later Apple will put their entire army on the line and start an all out war.  Just be patient it will happen LOL... Nobody isn't going to say it, so I'll say it.  Apple isn't winning anymore, well I guess dictators never wins. :P

Case Closed LMFAO!

P.S.  I'm just having fun.  If it offends you, I'm sorry.  My sincere apology goes out to your sister I've slept with :P

 Work is great.  Had a major melt down last week with our server.  Had to change the thinking cap around and become a full-time sys admin/networker. But for the most part I'm 50/50 programmer/sys-admin/network :P.  Which was a really good thing.  Had to restore backups, res-install programs, re-configure files, and get things running.  It was brutal, but I think we are almost there. :)

I'm learning Python at the moment and applying it to our work load.  I like it a lot.  Syntax are a bit different.  I wrote a script to run on our server so I can call it from my PHP script.  It's simple but pretty bad ass.  I'm not used to not having curly braces and not having to end it with a sem-colon lol.  But not bad at all...

Other than that I'm going to enjoy every bit of 2010 before my birthday comes this July.  Trying to get my studio going, do some yard work (installing sprinker system, putting in fresh grass, pimping out my curb appeal status), and work on my g-rides and maybe buy another g-ride ;) 

I forgot to mention that I'm improving my health.  I've been doing the P90X and I'm on my last week before it's 30 days into it!  I lost 7 lbs and fucking loving it!  It was brutal for the first week.  I couldn't walk, couldn't even lift a cup up to have a drink, because I was that sore.  I have 2 more months to go before the program is up.  But by then I'm going to add more weights and continue on pushing it after my 90 days are accomplished.  I want my 6 packs baby... haha. :D

Life is too short, females is an everday thang, but accomplishment under your belt and flying solo is priceless. I live everyday like it's my last.  Make goals and tacklem them. Best believe that. LOL

The weather was crappy so I haven't got around to putting it in til today.   So since today was beautiful.  I decided to remove the alternator.  Upon further inspection.  I noticed the alternator connector isn't the same!  Unfornately, I will not be driving my car to Orem to work as I had hope for :P

The dude I bought it from assured me it was the round plug.  :(  sigh.  It's my fault for being cheap lol.  I'm not gonna go to the forum and raise hell.  I got it for 50 bones :P Not even sweating it. I'll order a remanufactured one from autozone and cough up the 2 bills for it sometimes this week. 

A 92-94 SC400 uses the round plug type.  And 94-up uses the oval/squarish plug.  Trust me, they are different shapes LOL

So make sure you tell whoever you are buying the alternator from that piece of crucial information.  Tell them to snap a pic to make sure.  I should have done that. What do you expect?  I thought the dude knew the difference between a circle and a oval/squarish shape. :P  Just kidding man!  If you go to a auto parts store, they should already be well aware of it.  

Go here for the original source. http://lextreme.com/Lexus-Alternator.html

A major set back.  But at least my dead alternator is out. So when the new one arrives I can drop it in.  Also, the front drive belt needs replacing  So I'll get that order too.   I need to take care of one CEL that my car is throwing (13 rpm signal)  So I need to replace the no #2 cam position sensor as well. 

Once those are done, I'll re-route my wirings under the driver's fender so it doesn't come in contact with my tires.  It barely peeled the rubber off the wiring loom.  Things you have to expect when you're dropped that low. :P  It's an old car,  I'm maintaining it since the last owner hella neglectated it. Once those item gets replace I should be good to go :).

So my summer plans are to replaced the interiors and clean it up a little.  Then after that I'll do the body work and get a new paint job.  Same color of course.  I don't like green but I love it on my car. Yah!
