God is good.

i just ordered pizza online for the first time. it feels weird.

my dad just informed me that his co-worker was shot and killed on Christmas morning by his wife, who then proceeded to shoot both of their daughters and then attempt suicide. wife and both daughters are currently in the hospital.

what a messed up world.

so i was in Dan’s room and a felt a stirring deep within my stomach…”you know what i could go for right now? some salt and vinegar chips,” i say longingly. and he just gets up and pulls this ridiculously large bag of ‘em out and says “here you go.” what are the odds of that? never have my desires been so immediately satisfied.

oh yeah, merry Christmas everyone. =D

in regards to “The Two Towers”: what a bloody, violent, gory, good movie. of course i’m not a big Tolkien guy (but i can at least spell his name) and i never read any of the books, but i DID enjoy both movies so far. i like Gimli the best because he’s short, stocky, gets mad a lot and likes to throw things. now that’s my kind of dwarf.

by the way, everyone have a nice Christmas eve!

what’s better than a WRX and a turbocharged Civic? knowing friends that own them and going for rides in both during the same day!

JKuo, you are the MAN. Jay Chou rocks!

this may sound unbelievable, but i think i’m getting tired of the car scene. now, don’t torch your house and sell all of your worldly possessions because you see pigs flying outside from your living room windows. hey. HEY! drop the matches, sit down and listen to me. okay, what i meant to say was that i’m growing tired of some of the people in the import-tuning community. who am i talking about? those tacky morons who shouldn’t be building cars, the idiots that infest the internet’s car forums, the whiteboys who buy those ugly euros, stick them on their momma’s Civics and call them showcars. people who call the fast and the furious decals “dope” and “off da hook”. and it’s sad because it doesn’t stop there…even Craig Lieberman (i considered capitalizing his name, but thought better of it) the all-powerful creator of everything fast and furious, has taken import-tuning to an all time low by defacing the holy grail of tuner cars. wait, he did more than just deface it; he desecrated, vandalized, defiled, violated and possibly sodomized a freakin’ R34 Skyline GT-R for pete’s sake! you’ll know what i’m talking about if you look at the picture. stickers? on a Skyline? i think NOT. and the worst part is that they’re RED. and to top it off, there are a few manufacturer’s stickers on that skyline that don’t even make products for it! and that little Signal Auto-esque racing stripe on the side? i would throw up (moreso than i am now) if i was one of those Signal Auto guys and saw this flaming buttclown of a chimp try to mack on our style. this is too much.
