I'm a (potential) Gleek

So, I've withheld this topic for the longest time. I've been a fan of Glee since I first heard of it, but I've been unable to sit down an entire episode (yes... how SHAMEFUL). Only recently have I gotten caught up and watched all the episodes (still re-watching them... they're that good). According to a certain someone who shall remain nameless, I can't call myself a Glee fan (or Gleek) unless I know the ins and outs of the series. This person will administer a Glee quiz to determine my "Gleek-hood." The only way to prepare myself is to watch the episodes and commit to memory what's going in the series so far. I've made an oath to avoid wikipedia when answering these Glee-questions.

Would I...?

[Written after I wrote everything below]

This will probably be my closest to an unofficial analysis of the movie, 500 Days of Summer. I found myself writing, freethinking and this is what I came up with.

I've wrestled with this idea for the longest time which I will talk about in the end. Not once did my answer waver since it always had been a constant yes. There are many things that drive people nuts in these situations.

One thing that probably drives most people insane in these situations are the incessant thinking of "what-ifs."

- What if I treated her nicely?
- What if I didn't make her cry?
- What if I could have been there for her when she needed me?
- What if...?

Evenftul Weekend

Friday: My Dad's birthday.
Saturday: Finally went to Honey Pig. Finally watched 500 Days of Summer.
Sunday: Went to Dave n Busters and Coldstone.

Friday:

It was my dad's birthday. Before heading home I stopped by Best Buy to get my dad's gift. He's not too picky and he usually wants Best Buy gift cards. When I got home, we were still waiting for my mom to come home cause she just left the office. Good thing is we made a call-ahead seating at Outback... which is a life saver on certain days. I went to my room and changed out of my work clothes and got dressed up all spiffy. I brought my gift down and gave it to my dad. When my younger sister (2nd oldest... I'm oldest) saw it, she started laughing because she got the same gift card from Best Buy. My youngest sister also bought the same card from Best Buy. The funny thing about this is we bought this on separate occasions and we didn't really tell each other what we got for our dad.

Love Your Enemies

I usually don't discuss religion here, but I just wanted to discuss the concept of loving your enemies.

Going through a rough break up and being the person that was left behind or abandoned is the worst feeling I've ever experienced so far in my life. It left me emotionally scarred and battered. The day after and the following days ahead had me covering my emotions. I had to shield what I am going through from everyone at work and friends. Some days it felt like I couldn't go on and I would just take a day of leave from work or work from home whenever it was applicable. I stopped caring about things I used to do like playing videogames or just enjoying a movie. The whole situation was always on my mind.

#26. Audition for anything I know I can do

I'm not the best singer ever, but I tried my best. "Glee" is holding a nationwide audition until April 26 through myspace. I submitted my audition last night telling them my name, what I'm doing right now and why I want to be part of "Glee." After that video, I recorded myself singing to one of the songs in their casting call list. Most of these songs are out of my vocal range so I tried my best with "I Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon.

This is more than just another number off of my 101 List of Things To Do. I haven't auditioned for anything since I was in 4th grade. It was for school choir when I auditioned and they were looking for Soprano 1, Soprano 2, and Alto. My voice is closer to Tenor range and at that time I was in puberty. My voice kept going back in forth between Alto and Tenor. Let's just say that the only way I was to make it to that choir is to sing in Falsetto, which was hard with a breaking voice.

I took a lot out of me to submit my audition, but I'm glad I did. I'm not expecting to get a call back, but if I do I'm going to freak out.

I'm done.

Being A Yes Man on Lazy Sunday

Well not really lazy. I woke up at 10:30 and got ready to go to Centennial Park and had BBQ with college friends. I helped a friend over his Intro to Java course with coding and he invited me to the BBQ at the park. Played Frisbee and catch football. Afterwards we went to Tutti Fruiti. It's a new Fro Yo place in Ellicott city. Sudz was wondering if I had plans later that day cause he needed help with his CS341 Java coding project, so I went to his house and helped him. After about 3 hours getting some of his code working, we went to dinner. His treat. We met some pretty down to earth people in that place. Now I'm home.

I'm glad I said yes to all of these. These things I normally don't do at all. This change of scenery is definitely a blessing. This past year or so I've been so angry and depressed. I don't think I've been as angry as much as I did. I still show the persona of being angry (semi-unapproachable), but that's just my guard up. In reality, It's the opposite of angry.

After meeting my college friends today, I've realized that I've been wrong this whole time. I don't know why they kept their distance at me for this past year. Sure it made me mad, but I'm thankful they did. I wouldn't want to hang out with me either at that time. Emotions are infectious. If I'm depressed around them, it's bound to happen that one of them will be depressed just by my shear depressing presence.

I know these guys don't read my blog, but if they do, I'm fine with it, too. But I would just like to say I'm sorry for lashing out on you.

I'm done.

My Serendipity

Serendipity - the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.

I was on a semi-blind date. While waiting, I went to Dave n Busters and played the dancing game there. That's where I met her. I was only there for about 30 minutes before leaving. About 3 weeks later, I ran into her again in the same place.

Fullmetal Harry Potter Dream

So I had a dream this morning before heading out to Church for Easter Sunday mass. I they are two or three separate dreams. The first part was less memorable and I just remembered it when I was at Church. I guess it doesn't affect me anymore. The second part was the best.

Videos I found that I think are cool

Here's the weird music video I found. The chorus is sung by a guy that sounds like Herbert the old pervert from Family Guy.


Hot Chip - I Feel Better

Hot Chip | MySpace Music Videos

I've seen this guy before doing something like this. Just don't remember.



I'm done.
