People Watching at Universal Studios
I love going to tourist places to watch people. People always act funny when they're "trying" to be on vacation. I know that they always encounter problems and claim that this was their worst vacation ever.
There are all sorts of picture takers. I know cause I'm one of them. As a general rule, one will always have others walk in front of thier camera when they are trying to take a shot. I've had that happen to me many times. I used to get pissed off when I was still using film cameras. Now I don't really mind because I can jsut delete those shots from my digital camera.
At the Back to the Future ride there was the bearded woman. When we got to the front of the line, we couldn't believe what we saw. We couldn't help but chuckle every time she/he came around.
In the customer relations office there were a couple of people with a tray of food. I listened ina little mroe and they claimed that people overran them when the Waterworld show let out. Their table was in the path of the exit. The woman listening to the problem was a professional "shit-from-tourists" taker. She totally kept her cool.
And then there are the people that hav never been to the park. I ove to see the surprise on their faces during the rides. I've been here so amny times so I know what to expect. I know exactly which times to focus on the people like when Jaws pops out of the water.

Online Agrument
I am so fired up right now. I've been arguing with someone online over many things for the last 2 and a half hours. The basic this behind all of this is that we both broke up with our significant others recently. And now she started contacting me after a couple years of keeping away from me. She calims that she is a good friend, yet she won't give me her contact info. I always wanted to call her but there was no way I could. She held the keys in her court. I guess one could describe our relationship as a Hedgehog's Dilemma. The closer we get, the mroe we hurt each other. It's been this way since high school. I'm sick of this shit. Especially cause it's being done over an instant message chat window. If something is going to be personal, it need to be done with more identity, like a voice. If personal interactions are going to come to this, then I would rather not be online at all.
The Small Towel
I am not going to ask why hotels don't put enuogh towels in the rooms. I already know why. It's because we don't want guests stealing them. Here at the Crowne Plaza, I got 2 rooms with 2 beds in each for 9 people. There were only 6 sets of towels. I was gonna use a wash cloth to dry off, but i found an unused face cloth. I save the last 2 full size towels for the last two to take showers. I called down for 3 more sets, but no one ever came up. I guess I am just too kind to the others. Now I just need to ask for extra money.

First Major League Ball Game
I can't believe what I have been missing. I was a baseball fan when I was a younger child, but I never went to a game. I liked the A's and Jose Canseco was my favorite player. There were others like Ozzie Smith, Bo Jackson, Darryl Strawberry, and Mark McGuire (sp?). I then switched to liking the San Francisco Giants.
Anyways, today I went to Anaheim to see the Angels play the Reds. The game was pretty exciting and I liked that fact that there was a lot of audience participation.
Kiss Cam
It was more like forced participation when it became the "Kiss Cam". The camera would focus on couples and they should kiss because it is the kiss cam. Poeple would cheer the good kisses, and boo the people who would not kiss. The last frame was on the announcers who did not know that they were on camera.
Dance Cam
The cmaera would focus on kids and others that would be dancing some crazy dances. These people were really funny.
People Watching
A baseball game is a great venue to do some people watching. I watched as one guy was trying to hit on one of the students i was with. He ditched his girlfriend to talk to the student. His girlfriend and then her friends (another couple) got up and left as he was talking. they then came back and she pulled him away from the girl. A couple minutes later I saw the girl start crying. Was it because he was talking to another girl? I don't know, but i t was pretty interesting to watch.

Time Travel Window
I had a concept for a way to peer through time without really traveling. I should have titled my blog, Time Peep Window. There are all of those theories stating that several universes may be existing on top of our own that are only millimeters away existing in the same space. What if we could construct a device to peer into these universes, but not really interfere. We could see what happened and not disrupt the continuum. But at the same time, we may be able to peer into the future as well. That would be a little scary. But with this thing, we can only view something if we are at the actual place. So if you wanted to see the signing of the Declaration of Independence, you would have to be in Pennsylvania at this time and then use the viewer (maybe a visor, or glasses, or even a binocular type device) inside Independence Hall. I might elaborate on this later one, but my mind isn't working so well right now.

So Full of Japanese Food
I am so full right now. I have been going to my favorite Japanese restaurant so much recently. It's OK becuase I pay for good quality food. It is healthy as well. I ate there 5 times last week
A Good Sight
While at the restaurant, I spotte my friend there. I was really surprised becuase tonight she looked so beautiful. But actually she looks beautiful all the time, but tonight she was exceptionally beautiful.

World Cup: Japan vs. Belgium
I can't believe that I am here at the English school at 2am. There are a couple students that have been here all day. This is the reason that I took my nap earlier. I don't even like soccer, but I am rooting for the underdogs, the Belgians. Almost everyone here is Japanese and there are 3 Swiss. Man, I am going to regret it tomorrow. I have class at 7am and 12pm, and then work at 3pm-11pm. I know that I will be really tired.

Mailbox Surprises
I got 2 surprises in the mail today. I came back home to take an afternoon nap earlier and completely forgot about the mail. Anyways after midnight, I went to the box to check wha tI got today. There was one envelope in particular that made my heart race. It was a letter from my friend Tomomi in Japan. She had sent me a letter and some beautiful pictures of herself. I was pretty surprised and happy too.
Another piece of mail I recieved was a rebate check that I had forgotten about. It was for $10, but hey it's money. I hate waiting for rebates, but I like it when they come. By the time they come, you have already forgotten about them so it feels like free money ready to be spent again.
The last pice of mail that I got was a check for a large amount. I'm not gonna go into details, but I will be able to pay off some of my debts with it.

Got Pulled Over
I got pulled over tonight, but I didn't get a ticket.They were just doing a routing DUI traffic stop. This was my first time to ever get stopped at one of these. When I turned the corner down the one way street, I was a little worried because I hold a New York state driver's license. I wanted to turn around, but it was too late. I was worried and my friend Shira told me tha tI could switch seats, but I was ok. The officer jsut questioned me and asked me if I had been in the state long. I told him that I was going back last week. He handed me some pamphlets and then bidded me good night.
People at School at 2am
Today I went with my friend Shira to school, late at night, on a Saturday night. She's an Architecture Major at CalPoly and I've known that she sometimes spends the night working at school. I decided to accompany her in an effort to meet some of the poeple there. She showed me her work area and she even had a cot and a sleeping bag at school. This is schooling to the max. I was surprised to see how many students were at school late at night. There were quite a few, but I only knew 2, Shira and Jason (another Filipino guy; one of the few that i know). They were all doing random things. Some were working, but others were wathching DVDs, or listening to music, to playing games. It looked like fun, but everyone looked liek they were or are procrastinating. I never thought I would see so many poeple at school at 2am early sunday morning.
