CHALLENGE!

my sister, Rachel, and i have challenged each other to a competition.

this is a losing weight competition. the competition spans all of april.
my challenge is 10 lbs. her's is 5 lbs. i could totally do this.

i eat super bad and i only exercise twice a week. working at EBS has been a bad thing for me. It's next to everything i want to eat. james coney island is down the street. niko niko's is three minutes from that. delicious food heaven.

all i gotta do is plan my meals and what not and i got it made. the hardest part about eating healthy food to me, is convenience. you gotta make the food the night before or before you leave in the morning. no one wants to do that. i could be watching tv or sleeping in for that 20 minutes of preparation. i just want hot food fast. and jack in the box is across the street from EBS. the ultimate croissantwich thing gets made in like a minute for like three dollars.

it's time to show some discipline and self-control in april. maybe it isn't so much a competition as it is a pact. doing things with a partner holds you accountable for your actions. i guess that's why there are weight loss communities. everyone's in it together.

so the question to ask now is "who's coming with me?" if anyone would like to join my sister and i in this weight loss challenge pls join us. the more the merrier.

Family Time

so florida came in on thurs for their dad's bday. florida consists of jarryd, divina, and their dad, tito estong. i said i'd update yous guys on bingo so here's the amazing results:

NO ONE WON

sad day my friends. actually philip won. what a dummy. he had a false bingo. apparently he likes to make up his own rules at to what a regular bingo is. he just had a little box randomly on his bingo card and he thought it was a bingo.

the crowd was pretty diverse as said earlier. there was a group of costumed characters. banana suit guy, peanut guy, pocahontas, and i think a hot dog guy. people took pics with them for some reason. we got some good food there. divina and jessica went to get food while we played their cards. got me some buttery goodness grilled cheese. they got like frito pies and sausage on a buns. also looked super good.

funniest part of the night. this drunk lady thought she had a bingo. she yells it at the top of her lungs and her voice got all raspy. false bingo. sorry lady. your moment of joy turned into super embarrassment just like that.

another funny part. when bingo was over and everyone went to pee, banana guy and peanut were in the restroom all mad. they were pissed that pocahontas peaced out without telling them.

banana on the phone
"where'd you go? no, not where am i at, where are you at bitch?" everyone peeing laughed.

after losing at bingo, very disappointing, we went to boondock's. buncha emo kids up in there. they all had fake cool old guy glasses and super tight pants. just be normal geez. ok fine some people did look cool in their cardigans and what not, but most people tried too hard.

Easy Street

so i finally finished all those stupid things i stated earlier in the week. it was a lot harder than i expected. i would take breaks to play the sc2 beta. lots of breaks. i would say i'm pretty crappy at time management for the most part. sometimes i'm on the ball and have everything ready to go. Other times i'm scrambling to get things finished. This week was a scramble for sure.

tomorrow my cousins from florida come in. we're going to lodge 88 for some bingo action. it's a pretty sweet deal if you haven't heard about it. the place is huge. probably about 500 people are in the place young and old. hipster and nerds. nerds that think they're hipsters. you name it there's a group there of it. cheap food, cheap beer. good ol' fashioned fun.

It's in the heights and it starts at 7:45. there's some early bird thing, but i have no idea what they do with that. anyway it's 12 bingo games for 5 bucks.

i think it goes something like the first two games are regular bingo and the prize is $100 less 5% tax. so if you win you get $95. so horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and four corners for some reason is regular bingo. if you have multiple winners then the money gets split. when kathleen and i went last week she won $47.50 because 2 people won.

the third game is a novelty game. probably my favorite game. it's for like $130 or some weird number. the games are like X game where you got two diagonals, block of nine, a kite, and other stuff.
then you got two more regular games for $100
and finally it's the 6th game. BLACKOUT.

They call it coverall though. my whole life i called it blackout so i'm stickin with that. this game is worth $250 and there's usually only one winner. the entire place gets pretty intense when everyone gets closers to winning. I was two away last week when someone yelled bingo. the whole crowd groans when it happens.

intermission

then it all happens again. except black out is 500 smackers this time. that's money to blow ladies and gentlemen.

i'll post tom if any of us win.

ps the crowd goes wild when the caller calls out "O 69"

I gotta run some keyword tool through google analytics. This I can do. Other stuff he said. No idea. I don't even remember what he asked right now.

So ya know he asked me to stay til 4 today. I said sure. What shall i do for the next 5 hrs or so?

It has begun!

So I figured I'd make a blog cause all the cool kids are doing it. I like reading my cousins' blogs. Maybe my cousins and random people would like to read mine. I'm way funnier and more informative than all of 'em anyway so basically the world needs me.

I currently have:

project due tonight at midnight for Visual Communications
discussion on if google is making us stupid due wed
definitions memo due wed
quiz friday vis comm
c++ hw wed midnight
project due wed midnight information management

What am I doing instead:

made this blog
looking up acoustic electric guitars on craigslist
reading slickdeals.net forum
wanting to play sc2 beta


I have a meeting with the internship advisor lady in the Career Services Center @ 2.

-------------

So the internship lady wasn't very helpful. She was nice though. But I told her i already had an interview and I already got an internship all on the first try. She was like " Wow that's an amazing story and amazing luck. I guess you already have good interview skills and your resume looks good too." Anyway she gave me little pointers here and there and talked to me about networking. Everyone and their mother is talking about networking these days. Social Networking can suck it. For real though it helps.

Also here's a link to the article I talked about earlier with google making us stupid. The guy has a point. We just want super fast answers all the time.
