*shrug* petrified... peter = rock. patrick? *shrug* last sat, when i was @ bay st. emeryville w/ our good friend roland, we went into old navy. old navy was selling all this <font color="#007700">st. patrick's day</font> clothing. they made such a big deal'f it. the <font color="#000066">blue</font> n' <font color="#007700">green</font> colour scheme aktually looked very nice. i've thought 4 a while that <i>that</i>'s gonna be the next big thing, which'll replace the now almost cliché n' trite <font color="#663300">brown</font> n' <font color="#3300ff">blue</font> colour scheme. yah, that was last <font color="#550000">christ</font><font color="#005500">mas</font> season's colour scheme. yah, it's almost out the door, but i'm aktually sportin' that colour scheme 2day, wearing my <font color="#663300">brown</font> cardigan, <font color="#000066">blue</font> jeans, n' a <font color="#0066ff">blue</font> shirt. oh, n' my belt's both <font color="#663300">brown</font> n' <font color="#000066">blue</font>! my shoes n' overcoat r both <font color="black">black</font>, so i'm not <i>completely</i> matching. when i saw all that <font color="#007700">st. patrick's day</font> clothing, i reminded roland'f how a few yrs 'go, old navy sold a bunch'f 4'f july clothing in a similar fashion: the t.shirts r just $5. dude, i'm sure next wk, the t.shirts'll be like $2.50, rt? <p>i s'ppose it's good that i fell asleep relatively early last nite. i couldn't stay 'wake thru the 1100p news on nbc 11. did i? i feel like i <i>did</i> c some'f leno last nite, did i? *shrug* i had a dream this morn 'bout going to some state or ant'l park, where i drove my subaru forester thru some deep h<sub>2</sub>o n' then was lifted out'f the h<sub>2</sub>o onto some bridge. like that was how ppl routinely visited the park. d'ya wanna analyse my dream? a couple'f nites 'go, i didn't sleep well @ all cos the beautiful <a href="http://www.realestatesforcharity.com" target="new">kaela hwang</a> was studying in bed n' then later sooni kept waking me up. i figured that she wanted to be let out into the backyard to relieve herself, so i eventually got out'f bed n' let her out. cos'f all that, i woke up kind'f late yesterday. however, 2day, i woke up early n' brought sooni out 4 a nice jog. i need to jog more as i just plain need to exercise more. <p>[later] 오후: i wonder if this web page is ne good: <a href="http://www.christianet.com/cgi-bin/spiritualgiftstest.cgi?mode=gifts" target="new">"bible spiritual gifts tests (60 questions)"</a>. maybe u should take the test... if u'r a christian, like me. i dunno how good or accurate the test is, but... *shrug* <p>@ lunch, kaela came to pick me up n' then we met w/ some <font color="#ff9900"><a href="http://www.grx.org" target="new">grx</a></font>ers @ <a href="http://www.athenagrill.com/" target="new">atehna grill</a> on space park @ scott. it was a fun lunch gathering'f christian, asian.am young professionals in the area. i think there was like 8'f us. i'd been to athena grill 'least 1nce in the past n' knew it'd be crowded n' crowded mostly w/ ppl from my company. i was rt. i sed i didn't want beef cos i've been eating so much red meat lately; but, when put on the spot @ the order counter, i ordered the arnáki pita, which is a lamb sandwich. upes. kaela had the grilled eggplant standwich. the fud was good. personally, i prefer yiasoo over athena grill; but athena ain't bad, i guess. wow, it was <i>sooo</i> crowded w/ ppl from my company! <p>[later] yesterday (i <i>think</i> 'twas yesterday), i <i>started</i> to discuss the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=benospage-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB000AP318I%2Fqid%3D1142475539%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_1%3F%255Fencoding%3DUTF8%26v%3Dglance%26n%3D130"><i>almost round three</i></a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=benospage-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> video n' how i found it such a better werk than the vans video. i gotta say, that <i>kinda</i> hurts to say cos the vans video <i>does</i> have steve caballero 4 a very short while, n' steve caballero rocks. however, it's just these new, young kids that r such jerks that make the whole thing cm kind'f lame n' immature. as i was saying yesterday, i like the almost video much better. u know, 1 thing that makes the almost video rock's that it has kewl musik. it has that "my favourite game" song. whose song is that, sheryl crowe? oh, no... i didn't think so; it's <i>the cadrigans</i>. yah, i thought 'twas some1 more 'long those lines. 4 a sec, i was gonna guess garbage, but it just doesn't sound dark 'nuff. neway, get <i>this</i> the almost video has the cure's "why can't i be you?" dude, that's a song i prob'ly put into my own lame skateboarding videos i made in 9th grade. awesome! dude, watching rodney mullen, i just kept thinking how kewl it is that he's still doing the same "freestyle skateboarding" tricks he did in the 1980s but adpated 4 <i>streetstyle</i>. dude, that's so kewl. [aterl] neway, the use'f the cardigans n' the cure makes that video so classy, man! also, the video has cute animation. i 'member now the cardigans' "favourite game" video: it's the 1 where the gurl's driving fast down the highway w/o stering, 4cing every1 to swerve off the road to miss her. s'pposedly, that video stirred up some contreversy 4 inspiring kids to try that out. it's an artistik video. this afternoon, i'm listening to a live "bootleg" cure cd. i bet this "bootleg" import cd's worth a good amount now, but i dunno. it's prob'ly some kind'f collektors item. <p>2nite, i might do some <font color="#550000">ko</font><font color="#000077">rean</font> gro¢ery $hopping @ either <a href="http://www.galleriaplaza.com/" target="new">갤러리아 플라자</a> galleria plaza in santa clara or 한국 마켓 hangook market in sunnyvale. [later] 저녁: after that, i'll go home, maybe eat dinner 1st, n' then do some base cleaning, base repair, n' hot wax. it's "beno's snowboard shop" in the garage 'gain 2nite. [later] yah, un4tunately, it looks like i'm skipping taekwondo sparring praktice 2nite. i guess i'm glad i 'least jogged this morn. <p>[later] keep in mind that i have coined 3 important phrases here:<br> - <font face="comic sans ms" color="#550088">"keep santa clara weird."</font><br> - <font face="comic sans ms" color="#006600">"san joséana"</font><br> - <font face="comic sans ms" color="#003377">"silicon valley: america's <i>real</i> heartland."</font><br> if i owned either a café or a cable company in santa clara, the slogan could be <font face="comic sans ms" color="#886633">"keep santa clara wired."</font> perhaps, that'd be funnier n/or more clever in the original city'f santa cruz: <font face="comic sans ms" color="#886633">"keep santa cruz wired."</font> man, if only i could run my own radio station... heh heh, that thought just came from my thinking just now 'bout making a list'f my favourite songs @ the moment. i used to do stuff like that when i was a kid, make lists'f my favourite songs, etc. aktually, when i was a kid, i was really into reading the musik charts, like what the top 100 singles were, what the top 100 albums were, etc. [later] so which <font color="#550000">ko</font><font color="#000077">rean</font> gro¢eryshould i patronise 2nite? <p>[later] 밤, 907p: after getting out'f werk much later than desired, i went to big! lots to buy sooni some dingo brand chews. then i went to the bank to depo$it a ¢he¢k, then to 한국 마켓 hangook market to gro¢ery $hop. then, i came home n' cooked packaged 짬뽕 jjambbong. now, it's raining really hard outside, which is crazy cos it didn't rain all day! i haven't started werking on my snowboard, which is bad. i need to. i <i>do</i> love the sound'f rain. <p>[later] 1129p: so when did the term "manual" develop??? a manual is what we called a "wheelie" as a kid. i heard "manual" 1st as a skateboard kid almost 2 decades 'go, but i discovered recently that mountain bikers also use it.<br><br><br>
