One of the things at the top of the 'make me angry' list....is to find out that you wrote a blog entry that got erased in the process of publishing........everybody, pls spend 5 secs of slience and feel my pain...
Ok...so what now??.....i just wrote a great entry about the randomest things in the world.....nice, fresh and minty.... straight outta my mind for all my fellow readers.......but its gone........argh......so what now??...write again??.....try rewrite??......man...it'll never be the same.....diz not math (not even in math it'll be the same...haha)....
aite aite i'm gonna try:
Back once again to waste time (and of course some of yours too in the near future)....
I just spent the last 15mins reading the diaries of some people i don't even know personally.......haha....wow....i'm surprised at the length of the list of 'links to other diaries' in some of them........ok, so you might think, why the hell am i reading the diaries of some random kids i dont even know instead of my friends??.........to tell you the truth, its becuz they got none......or to be more precise, they don't give a f*ck about stuff like......i think they either got better things to do...or at least feel that they do......haha......all good........but yeah, while they read my blog and stick their noses under my tree....i'm forced to stick mine under those that i dunt even know....
Now back to the diaries of others........dunt you think these diaries we write reflect our personality and thought so well!!....i mean, wow!!...i'm surprised at the differences between the diaries that we write......i like to use '.....'s to show a pause or change in thought.......i write short incomplete phrases......i dunt spend time writing grammatically correct english....i don't write good english and neither use wordy words.......to me, in my diary, the most important is to get the message and meaning across......its the content but not how it is presented that matters to me..........
Its great.......just like the individuals we are......we write such individual diaries........all shown through the content and style........its as if you can hear the person talk about the same stuff next to you.......some ppl like to write well thought out or nicely written english (they really care about how they are presented).....some ppl like to doodle (must be day dreamers!!)......some like to talk about whats on their mind 24/7( the usual case, uptight about work)........some like to write short one sentence paragraphs....some like to write about their theories......blahblah....too many.......man, we all so different.......i do admit tho, i care about what others read in my blog...and what others see of me through it.....its gay......but its only human......don't we all care??!!
So i ask myself (i'm realizing i dunno what i'm talkin about now).....why the hell am i blogging??....what am i trying to do with it??.....what msg am i trying to convey across to my readers??..........hmmm......good question....good question.......i think there are two answers to this question........the first is that i like to talk to myself (i will further on explain later).........the second...hmmm...i dunno......depends on my mood i guess?......depends what i just happen to think about?....about what i did today......about an event....an airik theory........something i'd like to share......its weird.......i logon blogger.com everyonce so often........i face this empty text editor in which i fill up with stuff that comes in and out of my head everyday....whether its something i just want to ramble about...or something that i thought may have been interesting for my readers on my blog........its a place for me to talk to somebody i suppose (man..no friends williing to listen...*sigh*...).........so why am i blogging about all this??......and why the hell are you spending the time to read it??.......beats me ^^;
Oh, and back to the first answer......i like to talk to myself.......hahaha....exactly what i did just now (if anybody noticed that is)......yeah, i like to ask questions.....i always open discussions to my questions without even having to spend the time to try answer them first on my own.........yes, its pathetic....but i do it.....i ask questions and answer them myself....its like talkin to yourself.........haha.....the point of questions is to have an unknown answered....but what about asking a question in which the answer can be answered by the questioner?.......haha...where the hell did that come from.........again, i ask questions i can answer myself.......why???.......beats me........but ask me, and i'll beat you......
Ok...enuff crazy talk.........theres exactly 12 hours left til i leave vancouver.......still gotta pack....hehe....jackin all this stuff from home.....saving some dough.....including my auto...i've also got...an amplifier...a nice sony stereo....otherstuff.......and of course....tonnes of FOOD!! (ration to be exact...)......
OHOH...music....of.........da......ramble (i actually think 'music of the ramble' sounds so gay...nxt time and from then on...it'll be called something else)..........hmmm.......i dunt remember whether i've put this song on before......but whateva.....its real real good....so its aite...~~~ Coldplay - Yellow ~~~....so what you waiting for???!!.......GO DOWNLOAD.!!!...BUY!!!...STEAL!!....WHATEVA!!!...GO GET IT!!!..
=Pack time.
Ariik.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
YEAH!!!....its finally done....better written??..not as well written.....man...i dunt wanna care.....
some last crazy talk...reward myself (myself?!) for having spent the time to rewrite all that thought which got erased....
so yeah.....hehe....all you diary writers can prob relate...hehe.....nearly everytime before i choose to click on the publish entry button....i've learned to add an extra routine.....and that is to copy and paste my entry somewhere else just in case shit happens.......its only through mistakes you learn (sigh!..so sad).........so why the hell did i mess up just now??........its cuz i clicked on the publish button without copy and pasting........'duh!!!' you might say......so whats my point?.......the thing is, a lil dialog box popped out asking me to confirm my publishing.......and i, like always, quickly chose to 'cancel' the confirmation without thinking becuz i had forgotten to copy and paste (my supposedly way to help me save my work)..........yep, and so everything got erased cuz i canceled the confirmation to publish.......the reasoning behind it? my stupid copy and paste scheme to save my work backfired...........gay...
Lesson learned: You can't stop shit from happenning.

Haha....i figured the best way to give everybody a good laugh without offending anyone would be to make fun of oneself......always the stupidest things or most human-like things we do are give a good laugh....
So yeah, I drove my Dad out today to his chiropractor, massage therapist, chinese doctor (whateva you want to call him, we get the point).....ok, so this therapist is pretty famous for the shit he does........he's always fully booked eventho its friggin expensive per hour.... but anywayz, in meat and bones, what he really does is massage your tendons and ligaments.......i'm telling you man.....its PAINFULL!......it'd be impossible to describe the pain... but he claws onto you and puts pressure on you all the way down to your bones and massages your tendons.....pushes deep in between your ligaments and stuff......i've actually had a previous appointment with him for 30mins before for stiff shoulders and I came out of that place with totally drenched pants cuz my legs just kept sweatin (i didn't piss in them).......haha....so embasrassing......
Anyhowz, i drove my dad for his appointment today........and when i came back to pick him up, i spent 15mins of his appointment to massage my thumb.....damn, and guess why i decided to have it checked??......hahaha....*blink*.....my stupidest weakness if any of you recall................*sigh*....Music..........wtf....this is how far i'd go to do what my heart is at.........i made myself go through another worse time of my life so that i can barre my guitar better and endure longer while i practice (well, it was injured already cuz i've been over playing) ........hahaha....i know its friggin stupid as hell....but yeah, i did it.......and its idiotic.......well, dats me...haha........i put my life and energy into whateva i want to do well in.......
my thumb is still numb...
Music of the Ramble time....~~~ System of a Down - Aerials ~~~.......I never liked this song much when i first saw it on MTV (about an alien lookin kid)......but i've gotten to like it the more i hear it.........yep..i've always liked those type of songs where you don't quite like at the beginning....... but the more you hear it the more you get to like it later........its those songs that you like the first time you hear are always the ones that get borin soon...........but yeah, this song gives me a deep, sad feeling...........hahaha.....i think this quote i got off volcom 3 describes it best.....'the more i see people, the less i want to become one'......well, its something like that....he's not online....so i can't ask him...haha......
....boo
to all the ML ppl last summer 2001....man, now i realized i had a great great time....

Either i'm generally running of out of rambles.......or maybe, i'm just not quite bothered to blog nemore........haha....feels like there are better things to do instead.....rather watch TV...eat....sleep....
Yes. To those that think its another crazy airik doing, I had music lessons......And to those that think its cool, I had guitar and music theory lessons a couple dayz ago.......i thought it was great......a straight two and a half hour lesson of music theory and lil bits and pieces to put all that i know into order........was especially interesting and informative cuz i like all that stuff anywayz.....not that the theory is interesting, but knowing that it'll help expand the power i have with my music was just way cool......i mean, it was only some basic music theory too....helping me put the songs i'm writing together...structuring it all.....what sounds better, what doesn't...
I can't think of anything to blog about rite now.....music of the ramble time i suppose....haha......~~~~ David Usher - Black Black Heart ~~~....this guy is great....he's CANADIAN!!!.....hehe.....pride man pride.......it sorta reminds me of jap rnb stuff.....but yeah, its a very special song.....after i heard this for the first time, i was like 'woah~!...repeat repeat!!'......i think i'm gonna check his CD out.....its called ~ Morning Orbit ~...go check him out with me =)
Got all the stuff to send my auto ready today.....yep.......i'd really like my own license plate too....too bad i don't have enough time to make it tho.....i'm gonna have it made during chrismas for sure.....i've decided to simply make it 'AIRIK'.......hehe, everybody that ma car!!...........yep, anyhow, i'll be sending it early next week before i leave.....should get it a week or two into skool....

Bloggin once again from Vancouver....its great to be back home....haven't stopped downloading songs ever since i got back two nites ago.....just sucking up on the web..chatting, surfin, downloadin all sorts of new music....getting some good rest.......and of course, gettin the 'livin at home' royalties...
Been spending time with rents so far.....groceries....eating out......even went play some golf today....its been such a long time since i've played......no time for stuff like this in college i suppose......didn't exactly play well.....kinda rusty and stuff......but its all good.....i'll prob play again soon enuff.....and i'll pick my game back up.....i like golf........i gotta admit the learning curve is kinda steep....but its great when u get the groove of it and you start to hit some great shots in da game.....
All these new cd's, movies, magazine from HK.........argh...makes me miss home even more.......haven't even had much time for that stuff tho......got lil bro hanging around.....haha.....hes got all these games and anime dvd's......hehe......so geeky......but i've watched 30 more episodes of hunter x hunter in the past two days already........i like warcraft 3 and all, but i guess i just lost the love for the games......too much gaming when i was a kid.......don't even play when i got nuthin to do now....not to mention playing for fun.....
Seems like vancouver has gotten more and more crowded over the past years.....more ppl walking around the streets.....a hella lot more nice looking apts.......and just generally ppl doing stuff all over the place......i've gotten to like this place a whole lot more in the past couple dayz.......it used to be boring and dull..but now its nice and chill..........perfect place to hang out with broz.......
I've changed since when i first started blogging last november-december......yep...i can really see a difference now.....i've gotten to become more in touch with my feelings.....my attitude towards life has changed significantly to a positive perspective........and most important of all, i've gotten to become a happier and relaxed person........i think i've grown...and still growin everyday........i go through everyday making the most and best out of it rather than feeling lonely miserable and depressed......you guyz prob dunt read my blog, but i want to thank my roommates especially for helping me climb out of the shit hole i used to be in back then (you guyz helped me out out of everybody!!)......life was not cool back then.....i was blind..i could not hear....and i lived in a world where my emotions smouldered me......
I'm sick of shallow people.....i'm sick of living in a world where everybody is self absorbed....selflish......and unreal........those ppl that dunt admit their true feelings.....those that live in a totally social world no matter how much they think they don't.........sooo insensitive to others lives.....they dunt understand the true friendships that could be.......all they care is what those other shallow ppl think about them......what other ppl see of them instead of what they really are........all want to be popular...all want to be known....all want to be center of attention......all want to be in the crowd.........urgh..i'm sick...
Music of the Ramble....~~~ The Vines - Get Free ~~~......haha..sorry guyz.....still more rock and alternative......these guyz are somewhat similar to the hives i mentioned earlier a couple blogs ago...
ARIK
Hee.....SHOUT OUT TO BROZ....U GUYz are ALWAYS GReat...u know who u r deep down...

MY Last nite at Cali.......finally an end to summer skool........an end to skool for the next two weeks or so..........so so glad........i'm tired....... exhausted.......its like you know how even though you haven't been to class much, you still somehow feel responsible for your classes........yep.....taking classes distorts your mind from being completely chilled everyday.....haha....as i always say.....our own minds are both the scariest thing and the thing to be most afraid of in this world......
Anyhow....yeah.....safe and sound at lin's place.....its been a hella week......too much for me to withstand alone........no home...no shelter......its been awful.......
I live everymoment of my life to understand and appreciate......its funny how we are more appreciative of the past and what is already over more than the present......don't you think so??.....Its only after we've gone through the hard times til we appreciate how it changed you into a more enduring person.......its only until after you spend your summer at work with these random kids til you realize that it was a lot more fun than it was then.......sounds somewhat ridiculous, but we should try appreciate the good times and bad times of everymoment of our life......cuz we shall know that we'll appreciate it evenmore after its over whether good or bad...
Too much crazy talk....go change the subject......oh! of course, the song of the ramble....can never forget....erm...lemme see.....~~~ Dave Matthews - The Space Between ~~~...i've been putting a lot of rock and altenative these dayz.......that shall go to a temporary halt soon....as soon as i get back to secondary home Vancouver.....but yeah, this dave matthews song inspired me to write this song for my parents.......it'll be great....i'll show them the lyrics and hopefully come up with a tune for it so that i can play it to them......
Haha...you probably find this soooo random....but it really reminds me of my family........just lil things my lil bro was telling me on the fone yesterday that my maids have killed more than 7 fung shui fish within a week back home in hongkong.....haha....my dad proposed to him that he'll pay him $40 bucks to keep those fish alive.......just so typical of my family.....and shit that goes on inside......
Aite....should grab food...gonna drive out

Feeling awfully nervous.....got nuthin better to do than sit and blog for a quik 10mins before my exams.........i suppose its cuz i know that i'm not quite ready for it.....hey, whatcha expect if i hardly went to class at all during my time here.....
So much happenning, so little that'd make it to the blog.......always always.........its too much for me to put down in pen and paper.......somehow get puzzled throughout the confusing throughts that wreak my mind....
The Low of the Summer ~~~ Every summer theres this time when you feel like you've had the best time all summer....and every summer, theres this time when shit just happens......happens to me every summer.......although, i believe that the living standards of my mind has generally gone up compared to years back........i suppose this week has been the low of my summer 2002........boiling thoughts mostly........somethings just aren't within my capability to make right i guess.........
Haha.....i want to admit to you all that i have a huge weakness...........something that'll drive me to do stupid things.......and bend my mind like i were f*kin drunk or something.........keeps me away from reality.......its like a lil lolly that a child molester would use to attract kids.........my weakness is MUSIC
Went to the area concert two nites ago at irvine.........oh! what a crazy collection of artists.......all sorts of shit going on.....Moby, David Bowie, Busta Rythmes, Tiesto, Ash, Blue Man, Sasha..........was great........it was real chill........ppl drinkin beer, a rave tent and a huge ass concert.........was some hella trip.........
Ha.......these two women in their late 30's......they were smokin this roach next to me during half time...so ghetto.....so friggin Cali........wtf man?!....they're as old as ma mom...

Went to the area concert two nites ago at irvine.........oh! what a crazy collection of artists.......all sorts of shit going on.....Moby, David Bowie, Busta Rythmes, Tiesto, Ash, Blue Man, Sasha..........was great........it was real chill........ppl drinkin beer, a rave tent and a huge ass concert.........was some hella trip.........
Ha.......these two women in their late 30's......they were smokin this roach next to me during half time...so ghetto.....so friggin Cali........wtf man?!....they're as old as ma mom...

I just realized (just like the ten million other things i realize everyday) I've been writing awfully bad blogs for the past couple weeks......probably becuz i haven't been spending the time to go over them again when i'm done blogging.....no time i suppose....been having better things to do........
i'm not going to spend the time to edit them....but i'll make an attempt to write some higher quality blogs from now onwards....
So.....four more days til Vancouver....finally time for me to go home.......feel so ambivalent....can't wait to get home, but on the other hand i don't want the summer to end so soon......sigh....LIFE!...so unexpected, sad, crazy, contradicting........
More rock for the song of the ramble ~~~ The Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So ~~~....like their music a lot.......the lead singer has a very twisted screamin voice.....kinda like it cuz its so distinct and natural...........unless you totally like his voice i wouldn't recommend to get their CD tho.......gets sorta annoying when its punched at you throughout the whole album..
the past week has been great........extendin my residency at ron's........no more draggin behind.......no strings and attitude........was great.......especially the two bottles of 'southern comfort' that were dropped last friday.........finally a good mental masturbation.......i live for those........
Surprised at the amount of lyrics and tabs i've written this summer.......all not polished enough to be posted........but yeah, i've been makin a lot of progress.........starting to capture the moods i want to describe more and more accurately..........sooo proud of my work.......hopefully at some point i'll be able to start finishing up on some of these songs so i can share with you all....
This last paragraph is crazy talk......something very interestin Nick was talkin about a while ago.....
The thing is i believe that everything in this world happens for a reason (make sure you agree with this before you move on)...everything that happens in this world is a causation of something else......for example, i blog becuz i want to let ppl know what i think....i eat becuz i need energy.....basically, everything in this world is a consquence of something else......even if i make a decision in my life, that decision is based on knowledge and previous experiences..........so this is the thing -------> Do we really have no choice in everything we do becuz everything in this world is a consequence of something else?........if everything in this world happens becuz of something else.....Is it true we don't have freewill??.......we can technically argue in court that things we do and decisions we had made were not upto us to decide in the first place.....
To conclude: What should I believe in?
To make things even more interesting.......one professor once came up with the theory that amongst the things that causes other things to happen......there is a random event.....
Enuff, not having a good day i suppose.

haha...its as if i'm holding back on this more artistic side of me.....i'm not exploring/expanding this other horizon of mine on the other side of the world.......i like science, math and all.....but my mind is receiving too much attention in that respect of life........and thats all due to being 'realistic' from a HK perspective........if i could live another life, i'm positive i'd choose to live it a lot chiller.....more down to earth.... more spiritual.....more creative,,,,
Music of the Ramble is presented to you by KingAirik, blogger.com, CLICC, and UCLA.....Everybody go check this CD out of its store ~~~ Linkin Park - Reanimation ~~~....damn nice remixes of linkin's songs.......especially like the breakbeats and scratching......very well put together.........one of my fav remix CD's already...
Dam, needa go class...been ditchin too often..

I'm bak...sitting rite here in the lab wondering if nebody has been spendin the time to chek whether my blog has been updated trhoughtout the past week or two....
Yep, so i've been somehow a lil busy (not with work).......just chillin..kikin it bak.....doin stuff i normal guy should be doin during summer skool....
I'm sitting here rite now....watching diz blond chic next to me click away while she plays this colorful yahoo! puzzle game......she seems kinda bored...haha.....its funny how we have a whole line of ppl waiting to use a computer while ppl like her and I are blogging, chattin and playing java games online....killing some time....ditching some classes.....
Hey, I can even see her screenname from here too.....too bad i'm not that quite interested....otherwise i'd hook it up with my aol for some half time relaxation.....haha.....
Anywayz, enuff about what i'm doin rite now....whats goin on with all you guyz??....haha...friggin asking questions talkin to myself on my own blog.....*duh* obviously i'm not gonna get a response.....but yeah anywayz......seriously tho, haha.....you guyz who still chek my blog out during the holidays....send me a quik msg if you see me online.....let me know whats goin on with your holiday too......
I can't quite think of nething to write about rite now......and not exactly up for writing about the shit i've been doin for the past lil while.....i'm sick of the past.....i only wanna talk about the present rite now........hmmm.....i'll start with the music of the ramble.........~~~~ Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark ~~~~......been up for rock/alternative since i've gotten sick of hiphop and co........kinda like the crazyness of all that rock'n roll stuff..........and also, of course, the guitar riffs and all........i've actually finally written a song that i reallly like too durin my time here.......i'd consider it a pop-rock song........i've still got bits and pieces of it to put together....but yeah, finally a song i wrote that i like.....i'll put it on when i'm totally satisfied........man....nuthin would make me happier if i could put together a band......
I've just come to realize during my time here that the things we take for granted the most are the things that we should treasure the most. Seriously, things like our parents, every part of our body, good friends, etc....I actually believe that things we take for granted are more important than the things you want to, are trying to or should treasure....... I might either sound ridiculous here....or very stupid cuz its something that everybody feels that they know already.......but listen to me, think about all those things that you really take for granted.....and imagine how much life is better with those things in your life.....
I think i've grown up to become a logical person....a logical person, yet somtimes too logical that its stepping over the line towards craziness.....feels like my mind is startin to take my life away from me.......i can't do nething without asking myself question over question about why things happen or are the way they are........somtimes i feel that my mind is constantly in search of some light that it'll never find.......i can't even sit back and enjoy some television without having to be engrossed by the heavy amounts of content it displays.......i'm getting very tired of thinking too much......and its driving me nuts cuz i can't stop it...
Anywayz, yeah....i'm soooo looking forward to the 'signs' movie... just one more day......i love m. night shylaman......he's like one of the reason why i'd want to live.......live just to see the movies he writes and directs........i love that anticipation......just waitin to enjoy the movie no matter whether it turns out to be a good one or bad one.....its so cool how i want to see this movie solely becuz of the director, and the fact that mel gibson is starring is only a bonus.........
Same as for music....i live to wait for my favorite artists new album.....having to wait for a new album and to find out whether it lives up to expectations or not.........our lives are so fascinating......i never realized as a child that its things like this that i used to take for granted that keeps my life going....
{August 6th 2002} - Man....the movie sucked....
Argh...enuff crazy talk....
Peace.

Decided to change the blog back to 'all-entries' style......i realized the archives column was wasting too much space.......making it hard to read the entries...
This paragraph was actually supposed to be about school.....and midterms...and homework..and quizzes.....but i'm not gonna waste my time with that boring shit today...so this paragraph will be dedicated to not mentioning nething about school and work..........we really should all talk about work less when we "relax" and "hang out" or write our blogs.... its boring.......we really should dedicate our time to more useful things like talking about why we shouldn't talk about work........but yeah, point made, work sucks up all the energy you have during your 16-18 hours of the day (ok...10 hours for me ^^;)......so letz move on...
Been workin out at Ron's gym.....i think i strained my shoulders and abs.....over worked them completely.....i'm the typa guy that is just colded blooded when it comes to taking care of myself.......yeah..i'm so harsh on myself......i make myself work uptil the point when i keep trying just to bench one more before i let myself rest........
dunno y i started tho.......i just suddenly felt the urge to get back in shape......my friggin beer belly kinda pushed it too i guess....
ACtually the main reason I came up to blog today.....was becuz i wanted to tell my blog how much i miss home......especially my room back in home home Hong Kong......for those that have been, you guyz would prob understand why i like it sooo much.......haha...but yeah, even my stupid college essay i wrote in boarding school revolved around my room, aka AIRIK's ROOM........my big nice comfy bed, blanket, pillows....my stereo next to it.....shit, i miss sitting on my bed listennin to my new CD's......hehe...and creeping up to my room on 4th floor...........i miss the king treatment too!!....haha....you guyz prob think i'm such spoilt brat.......i wake up at 3-4pm in the afternoon and tell my maids i'm ready for lunch...so they can cook it and bring it up to my room.......sigh......home sweet home........i don't even know when i'll be back again...
Then again, i'm going to have my apartment next year....hehe......(mood changing all of a sudden)....my own living room...bed room..kitchen....hehe....all mine.....gonna set it up so that it kicks ass....well....at least...i'll love it....(i can already see those faces of disagreement becuz of my so-called weird taste).......but yeah....buying furniture and stuff for an empty apt.......gonna be real awesome..........dunno how i'm gonna pull 'the budget thing' off tho.........i suppose i'll get my stuff a couple pieces at a time...so i'll have saved the money i need to get what i want...and i'll also be able to make sure i buy stuff i really like, instead of just buying everything at once (including stuff i might not like as much)....
I'm bored...tired of blogging....had a big today.......gonna stop here with the usual music of the ramble........~~~ Days go By - Dirty Vegas ~~~...i'm assuming a lot of you have prob heard of this one....i like to label it as 'trance-pop'.....its been played even on the radio often......its the theme from the new mitsubishi eclispe 03 commercial.......hahah...talkin about that car....that car would so be my car if i had a low budget to buy one....

I got a riddle for y'all today....hehe...more airik mind games....
Short in Change
1) Three guyz want to order delivery, so they call the pizza delivery to send them a pizza.
2) When the delivery guy arrives, he askes them for $15. So they split the $15 up and pay $5 each
3) When the delivery guy gets back to the store, the pizza manager tells him that the pizza only cost $10. He tells him to go back and give the customers the $5 back
4) On the way back to the customers, the delivery guy thinks to himself. There are 3 of them splitting for the pizza, they wouldn't be able to split up $5. I'll just pocket $2, and I'll give them $3 back so that they can have $1 each.
5) The delivery guy arrives at the 3 guyz door, and gives them back $1 each
6) If every guy originally paid $5, and got $1 dollar back, they each paid $4 for the pizza.
7) $4 * 3 guyz = $12 ; if the delivery guy also only pocketed $2, that would make $12 + $2 = $14.
Huh? Not $15??! Wheres the missing dollar?!?!
aaaairik.

Aite, this is gonna be my last blog before i head to da west.....too much to do from now til i leave....got csf and automata exams.....and still needa pack and move my stuff (including diz comp and my baby elec. guitar)......dang, i miss it already...haha....
HEhe....the one day road trip to Virginia and DC........was cool....eventhough Ron and I didn't get as lost as we expected.......haha.....f*kin pickupizms man.......no more of that shit next year...i'll be rollin on ma own auto........hahah....was tite tho.....stocking up on chips, mocha candies, water, and a whole pile of CD's......hehe......change the CD f*cka....
If theres a movie that needs to be seen......I'd make it the new summer block buster 'Minority Report'........shit, itz good.....i still go around sayin 'I haven't been entertained for a straight 2 and a half hours for soooooo long'.......nearly every aspect of the film is perfect that way it is......a plot that twists and brings you all over the place.......damn cool prediction of year 2057.......hahaha....so controversial too ^^//......all those gadgets and BME shitz.....haha...shit......and of course, directed very well......i'm not a steven spielberg fan.......but he's really proven to me in this film that he still knows how to hit the audiences' sweet spot.......i say again.....If theres a movie to be seen so far in this summer....make this the one!!
Got a really neat comp case from colorcases.com last week......with a blue plasma light inside it and all that......its gonna be real neat......also got parts to upgrade my comp.....more memory.....a bigger harddrive for my daily expanding MP3 list (its around 2300 mp3's as of now)......and also the platinum Audigy Sound Blaster card.....hehe...gotta listen to my music with the quality you know??......hopefully i'll have the time to upgrade it before i leave....especially with all the work in the way and stuff.....
Was talkin to volcom 3 a lil while ago......hahah....and i promised him that I'd kinda skim on my life transition thingys throughout my life....i actually don't really like talkin about my past on da blog...seems so boring and not interesting to read....but whateva....
So yeah, I was a friggin geek back then....pretty much all the way uptil grade 8......my life revolved around computer games and video games...that was all i did then.....i would goto skool during the day...come home and play games and do all that geek shit on my comp.....i'd fiddle around with the comp memory (back then you had to reorganize your memory to play certain games on MS-Dos).....basically, games was all i worried about...all that i thought about and talked about with friends....hahah...
Then, at some point....i somehow got suckered into sports...mostly basketball.....uptil now, i still don't understand why i liked it then...but i just did....and i played it day in day out....always after skool.....maybe it was cuz all the big guyz at my skool played it....and I'd watch in amazement while they played......so yeah, upto now...i'm still pretty proud I made it to captain of the team before I left to boarding skool (it was respect man!!..hahaha).......i turned from a complete gaming freak into a jock.....i still played video games a lot...but it wasn't to the point that i had nuthin else in mind..........it was the basketball i suppose, that kinda lead me to play other sports too....it all just rolled in together, i played everything....badminton, volleyball, athletics, blah blah....
It was til i left for boarding skool...for grade 11...that i changed again.....maybe cuz i just felt then that sports was not going to be the thing that would put me into a good college (a lot of other things too...but that would take another entry to talk about..i'll do that some other time).....i pretty much put a stop to most of the sports i played......haha....and to the amazement to a lotta those that knew me from before.....i started working!!....hahah...i was obsessed with doing well and getting into a good college....i did my h/w right after class...and aimed to finish most of it before study hall everynite (if i remember its 8pm - 10pm...its basically, during that time..you hafta stay in your room and study..stupid prep skoool stuff)......i was such a nerd towards the end of highskool......the only time to let out was when i came back every summer and christmas...going out to do random stuff at nite...hehe.....it was, however, at boarding skool....that i learned many important things....one of those is to appreciate everything in this world (only an int'l skool kid would see the difference if they had to leave to a boardin skool like mine...argh..)....and another is Music.....i had music on in my room basically 24 hours a day.....it was like as if i was a constant never ending DJ.....i'd play CD over CD while i did whateva i did in the room......trance and japanese rock were probably the first two things that i got absorbed into first......i liked techno a lot cuz it was all digital and stuff.......i liked trance with no vocals (opposed to i love vocals now)........and japanese rock was just cool...dunno y..haha...........One of the most amazing things is that i actually hated music as a kid (opposed to being totally in love with it now)......all throughout the geek and jock life....i never paid much attention to music...i always thought that music just wasn't my thing....i thought i was a sporty kid or something......anything musical was not important to me....
So I finally got to JHU through hard work in prep skool.....having to come here with the mind set of 'party party party'......i got ass raped by the skool......i got blown down mentally....I pushed myself to somehow stick with the crazy BME stuff........throughout my two years here so far....i guess I've finally found my balance..........sports, design, skool, music, computers, games (ok, less games), family, friends and just life in general.....i've kinda pulled everything together into this weird pretty boy guy that likes and appreciates everything around me......haha...i appear to be nothin i really am.....i don't smoke....i don't goto a shitty uni...i work...i love music....i like to particpate in intellectual discussions.......(and everything i don't look as if i am).....Its as if i've tied up every phase of my childhood to become what i am rite now......
I'm tired...i wanna stop...too many details....it'll take pages and pages to fill in...
HEhe....Music of the Ramble.....I suppose these two songs started it all for me.......~~~ Children - Robert Miles (trance) ~~~ I For You - Luna Sea (jap rock) ~~~~....uptil this day....i still love these two songs......won't ever get sick of them.....
i'm an hour late to csf...think i better bounce..
oh and also......BK at the JH Stadium...hehehe...so movie like.....and the chill drive....nice..

Its the perfect time to blog right now. Todays classes are over...well, not technically....but it is for me ^^
Ron is asleep, everybody else in the suite is either sleeping or at class, i just got my midterm back (hehe...i'd prob be up here either if i did good/bad)....but if you know me, i guess it wouldn't be hard to tell how i did from the way i blog rite now...........lesson learned: prove what you can say, don't say what you can't prove.
Anywayz, back to the perfect time to blog rite now....yeah...i was reading some other ppls blogs just now...and somehow got inspired to come up and waste a lil time of my own too.......i have a good couple ideas in mind.......but i'm not quite sure which one to start with first....cuz usually, by the time i finish blogging about one point i'll have forgotten all the others i wanted to talk about.....its frustrating too....discourages me to continue to blog cuz I've forgotten what I've wanted to blog about..and its the 'thing' i want to blog about...nuthin else...
Ok, stupid point made already.....and now to some random rambles.....hehe....lemme start with the 'crazy talk'.........i actually really like that phrase......i can still hear ron bitchin 'crazy talk airik...crazy talk' next to me rite now as i blog........i gotta admit its crazy tho........hahah...krazy airik...i actually like it.......Ok, so as i always do...lemme explain 'crazy talk'.....the logic behind it.........This is how it works:
Things happenning around me triggers thoughts......and thoughts triggers other thoughts.....and this goes on like letz say for example, the alphabet......so I think of thought A...which leads to thought B...which leads to thought C...and etc....
The thing is....letz say i have a string of thoughts A to F........by the time i get to thought F...and i see a connection between thought A and thought F......i start explaining that connection i see, hence the 'crazy talk'.......I would explain the connection from thought A to thought F through B,C,D,E......but i would forget C,D by the time i get to thought B....I would try backtrack my thoughts from thought F, but will have forgotten thought B by the time i backtrack from thought F to C........if i ever do explain the whole sequence from thought A to thought F through B,C,D,E....i would've forgotten the direct connection between thought A and F......hence, the crazy talk....cuz theres either no point to any of my explaination if i dun't explain all the connections correctly between the logic........
Ok...theres more to this crazy talk logic...but i'm startin to feel i should just keep it as that.....i'm crazy talkin already.....sounds like some automata shit anywayz...but yeah, crazy talk is good.....its so crazy its always a good laugh....
Hmmmm..how about the song of the Ramble??....Everyone of you know of this one already....but its just sooooo musically delicious that I feel that I should blog about it anywayz....just to make sure the one or two kids that haven't heard it yet, now know about it.......i consider this commericalized pop music at its best ~~~~ Stan - Eminem feat. Elton John (Grammy Award Performance) ~~~.......i got the video...so ask me for it....its damn cool...........
Aite...i'm bored now...gtg

gay..i spilt water over my cordless keyboard...and now its gone krazy too..

I told myself at the end of my previous blog entry that I will continue with the rambles of mine that I did not get to blog about last time......but 3 days later ( basically, now)....i dunt feel the urge or I've lost my inspiration to write about what I was going to write about then nemore....Its as if, that stuff is past me already...its old.....i've grown...time has gone by....its a new day to a new start......I'm not bothered to back track my thoughts (its hard...my mind jumps, skips and hops around)....Backtracking my thoughts usually opens up more ideas and values.....it stops me from getting back to my main destination thoughts cuz i hate having to leave open questions unanswered or not explored....
Without much further ado, let me first let out the song of the ramble....I was watching diz song on MTV last week, the video wasn't spectacular, but the song is damn good....the only way i can describe it is that its really really 'relaxed'.....any of you girlz and boyz that like trip-hop or downtempo must chek it out ~~~ Destiny- Zero 7 ~~~~
DAng it....needa go mall w/Ron...aite...will b back....especially since CSF and Automata midterms were over today.
<-AIRIK
Oh And Yeah, the stupid rain drenched me again yesterday....someday it'll pay...someday....."what goes around comes around" (hehe...this is the only exception when i'd use this phrase...its too cliche these dayz..)

'Go blog!' I tell myself.
In my mind, I believe todays entry will be the first one I actually feel I have the responsibility to write. Maybe also the first blog I'll write that will be in complete sentences too ^^. Seems like so much has happenned so far during diz summer session. Without any doubt, of course, 'Starscape' has surely been one of the biggest pivots of the summer so far. The Baltimore, Maryland massive rave that ties up loose ends, gives the strawberry-banana (or pineapple) smoothie another good blend, or just a time when I find myself once again reflecting upon my deadness. ~~~~~~~~ Lost.... ~~~
Ok, regroup. Maybe I should try again. Got completely lost inside my own thoughts in my last paragraph and can't be bothered to go back and get it right. Anyhow, I don't feel like going into how I get lost in my own thoughts and etc... so let me continue with my so called 'should write' blog entry that I want to try put into words:
The first thing that comes to my mind is friends. Most of you by now will probably think that I'm getting into all this right now because of the consequences of starscape, but let me tell you all that you're wrong. I don't come up with random thoughts over night. They are born, they grow and I tell them when they are matured. Its simply impossible for me to show and prove what I want everyday and every minute. I live my life not a step at a time, but by as far as i possibly can. Things come and go, yes, its not up to us to decide upon things that we do not have control over. But what about things that you've never thought would happen? Every second we live, every mile we travel is decided upon our own hands. I finally realize for the first time, that everytime you say 'life sucks' or 'i'm bored', its actually only a consequence of your own. We make our own lives. It would be wrong for me to push you all to stop whining and complaining, but those mental states do not belong to my language anymore. To come and think about it, I have not been bored and I have not hated my life since everlong (hehe). If you enjoy spending your free time watching MTV or ESPN (BET?!) with your friends all day, go for it.
Nothing can stop me from doing what i want to. No excuses allowed. Even if i was blind, deaf or lost an arm. If I am determined to buy myself a pair of shoes that cost $18,500, I will figure it out whether it means finding extra work aside from my normal work. Only the worthless bunch sit and moan about the what ifs. Anything must be possible.
I'm a D.I.Y freak, i won't say its a quality but it helps me understand what I want and what makes me happy. I do what i want to do, I ask about what needs to be answered.
Ha, the times at Bradford. Through storms; AK's; BB bullets; the rain; the RA; Wings; beers; shots; george?; and an endless combination of emotions, venues and events it finally wraps up into a huge garbage bag that should have been thrown out daily. It doesn't even feel rite for me to blog about it, its a 3 (or maybe 4?) player game. It would be wrong for me to define the rules alone.
For the musically restless me, also a photograph hater, lets all imagine a set where 6 kids sit by a wooden dock in front of a lake. You can hear the sound of waves crashing gently into the cool breeze played by the wind. The sun has just risen, it blends in perfect with the golden blue sky and metallic colored water. They sit not aligned, but with their bodies in which ever position comfortable. I don't remember every tune they sung with their dry and probably sour voices. But like that mattered a single bit.
**a new song is traveling through my brain, anybody that can come up with a drawn pic would be awesome!**
And finally, to end this 'I wasn't even able to blog about an eighth of the things i wanted to blog about' entry, its time for the song of the ramble. ~~~~ Your tune - (You) ~~~~ HAha, I can't see how any one tune would be able to respresent what I wanted to say throughout this entry. I'm going to leave it up to you all to tune into this song. It can be anything. Your favourite tune? The melody stuck in your head for the past week? The song you thought about while reading this entry? Absolutely anything that suits you.

4 da froggie teacher: "Those that are not growing are dead." So grow with me.

I'm a D.I.Y freak, i won't say its a quality but it helps me understand what I want and what makes me happy. I do what i want to do, I ask about what needs to be answered.
Ha, the times at Bradford. Through storms; AK's; BB bullets; the rain; the RA; Wings; beers; shots; george?; and an endless combination of emotions, venues and events it finally wraps up into a huge garbage bag that should have been thrown out daily. It doesn't even feel rite for me to blog about it, its a 3 (or maybe 4?) player game. It would be wrong for me to define the rules alone.
For the musically restless me, also a photograph hater, lets all imagine a set where 6 kids sit by a wooden dock in front of a lake. You can hear the sound of waves crashing gently into the cool breeze played by the wind. The sun has just risen, it blends in perfect with the golden blue sky and metallic colored water. They sit not aligned, but with their bodies in which ever position comfortable. I don't remember every tune they sung with their dry and probably sour voices. But like that mattered a single bit.
**a new song is traveling through my brain, anybody that can come up with a drawn pic would be awesome!**
And finally, to end this 'I wasn't even able to blog about an eighth of the things i wanted to blog about' entry, its time for the song of the ramble. ~~~~ Your tune - (You) ~~~~ HAha, I can't see how any one tune would be able to respresent what I wanted to say throughout this entry. I'm going to leave it up to you all to tune into this song. It can be anything. Your favourite tune? The melody stuck in your head for the past week? The song you thought about while reading this entry? Absolutely anything that suits you.

Been drenched in the rain 3 times for the past month...I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether is it because its jealous that I'm totally in love with the sun. I suspect this cuz everytime when I get soaked in the rain it stops when I finally get indoors. I seriously get the feeling that the rain starts pouring just to piss me off and its not just some stupid kid doing the rain dance^^....I mean, why is the rain so stupid?? Its just giving me a reason to hate the it and like the sun even more.

Finally done drafting ma 1st Guitar song. Might still make changes to it...i want to add a twsit to it (maybe a dnb or rnb beat? scratching?)....its 'slow rock' rite now..i want to modern it up a lil, its too old skool....but I'd expect diz to be mostly the tune tho...its not good.....but then again, can't expect a kid like me to produce anything other than shit...(otherwise i wouldn't be here....i'd be livin large =)....gettin the royalty)
