Day 1-Hold back your thoughts and live like Robots.
Today was pretty much a typical day. I made a vow to myself that i will improve myself and my attitude. Being outspoken all the time hurts people deeply. For that reason, i will compliment people whether or not they want to hear it. Even if it is coming from me, its a compliment they didn’t have before. So i will try my best. i shall give it 358 days. That’s a week short of a year.
Lets hope it all goes well.
Day 2- I’m nothing but a Sea Anenome
I think its funny how a day after i start my blog, my internet gets cut. Thats what we get for being lower class minorities. Either way, day 2 was quite an experience for me. The water tank for our volkswagon jetta broke. We were supposed to head out to Perris so my dad can collect a payment. Like i said, it broke. We didnt go. Instead, we went to the junkyard and searched for the part. That was my first time, i had to a place like that, so it was an experience.
Once i went home, Julia came over and we decided to go to Cal Hi to watch my friends band play. They are thought police. Once they played their set, they decided to play their cover of Reptilia. Their singer Andy, unfortunately, cannot play bass and sing. So they called me up to do it. I had previously done this song for my Week of the Stars. The unfortunate part is that i hadn’t heard that song in MONTHS, so i couldn’t remember the lyrics. Yes, i blanked out in the middle of the song, and the mic wasn’t working, mysteriously. So i shouldve been embarrassed but i, luckily, wasn’t. That pretty much made my night.

Day 3- No Day But Today
Today started off a bit slow. At about 1 o’clock, Mark picked me up and we (Sergio, Mark, and I) went to Chic-Fil-A to get some grub with his grandma and sister. It was delicious. Eventually, we went to borders and stayed there for about forty-five minutes. Soon after we went to a party for some people i didn’t know. This guy named, Wong, said he was going to give me his phone once he got his droid. I’m pretty excited because my current phone is a piece of crap. So i hope he goes through with it. Once we left i joined Mark as he headed over to Andy’s house to celebrate his birthday. Phil, Steven, and Emerson were the ones to show. We had some cake, and fruits. Pretty good day, pretty good day, indeed.

Day 4 - A Day in the Life
Current Location: Sara Falaro’s home computer.
Today was a pretty busy day. Busiest in a long time. Tomorrow is my little brother’s birthday. My parents decided to throw him a party. I woke up to the sound of my dad banging on my window. I helped get ready for the party which was being held at Michigan Park. Once we arrive, Julia arrived shortly thereafter. It was going pretty well. My other family arrived a little later and the party was on. Not really. Mark and his family also came and we just had some conversations. Julia mentioned that Eli might have worms. :( I hope she’ll be okay. After some time, Julia and I decided to head to her house so she can get ready. In the mean time, i played a little Kingdom Hearts and after, i made sara’s birthday card. I messed up a couple of times. It was pretty bad. Shortly after, we left to Sara’s birthday party. Unfortunately, Julia was unable to sleep over. The party was extremely fun and we took a bunch of pictures like so:
This was actually one of my favorites. There are many more but i think i will post a link some other time. Once we were settled in, we decided to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show. After the movie was over, a lot of the guys wanted to watch the Producers. Its SO funny! Everyone pretty much fell asleep and i’m on my way to sleeping. It might not make much sense but it does to me. Tomorrow, well today now, is memorial day. Lets see how a day in the life goes.

Day 5- Memorial Day
Current Location: B& D Security Office. Salvador’s Desk
Day 4 was the third day without internet. I wonder how much longer i can continue this. I will not let it halt for more than two days, so I’m still good! I woke up at around 7:30 am. Most of the people were asleep, i think. Its kind of a blur. Everyone started to evacuate Sara’s house and i was the last person to leave. Me and Sara just talked for a bit. My parents were asleep so they couldn’t pick me up. This is one of the things that sucks about not driving, but i was thinking, even if i did drive, i think i would’ve left the car at home. So either way, i was stuck there. Its half true, i guess, the other half is just I making myself feel better. Sara’s dad offered to give me a ride since he was going out. Sara’s dad is awesome! He’s sincerely one of the coolest parents I’ve ever met! After i got home, i went to sleep. I was awoken by my dad telling us that we were going to Costco. After getting ready we left and picked up Jose and his sister. We then went to pick up Julia. She was kind of upset that we took so long but i told her what had happened. It really wasn’t any of our faults. As it turns out, Costco was closed. Great. So we just decided to eat at home. My sister wanted to watch Let The Right One In, so we did. Its a really slow movie but its a masterpiece. There is going to be a an American Remake. Just ask this: Why fix something that isn’t broken? This is a link following the latest news on “Let Me In”

I hope they don’t murder it.
The rest of the day was pretty normal and ended like any other day, unfortunately.

Day 6 - Knock Me Down
Current Location: Home
I wish i had more to say about this day but nothing really exciting happened. It was just like any other work day. I went to work at 3 and we didn’t start knocking till about 6. Oh, my job? I am a salesman. Yes, i am one of those people who goes door to door offering people my product. I work for a company named Monitronics. Yes, i know you’ve never heard of it, that is why i’m providing this link: http://monitronics.com/
It is the easiest job in the world, but it is also the hardest. Why is it easy? because all i do is walk and talk. It doesn’t involve heavy lifting, it doesn’t require me to sit at an office all day. Why is it the hardest? because it is extremely difficult to find people who are interested. When one does find that person, though, its an awesome feeling! I am sad to say though, that i hate it. With a passion. Even after i get a sale, i never think: “wow i love my job.” i say: “wow was that worth it?” Don’t get me wrong, the pay is great. However, i believe if one doesn’t have a passion for their job, it makes it unbearable. I think anyone would agree to that.
One more thing that happened, i got a new phone! and i new phone number. Now i have two phones. I feel special! or maybe i am stupid because i have two bills, haha! Either way, i have a 150 dollar phone that i got for free! Sweet!

Anyways, if you are reading and you’re interested in texting me, feel free to ask me for my number. Au Revoir!

Day 7- Doo-Wah-Doo
Current Location: Home
I think it’s funny how when i don’t have a computer i’m struggling to post these things, and now that i do, i don’t have the time. Anyway, Day 6 was a pretty good day. We went to eat at a Chinese buffet restaurant. I love that place! After i just went home and relaxed. At 7 o’clock the choir banquet was happening. My sister, Jose and I had to walk because we didn’t have a ride. Once we got there, the senior solos had started. Daniella’s, Bailee’s and Jon’s solos were great! I enjoyed them very much. I had made plans with mark and steve to go running after so that’s what happened. After our run, i stepped on dog poo. It was pretty gross. I got home and went to sleep for i had to wake up at 5 o’clock to go to Fresno/Merced County for my job. Oh joy!

Day 8- This Is the Place.
I had to get up at about 5 a.m. I only got about 4 hours of sleep altogether. We made our way to Los Banos, Ca. There wasn’t much excitement, as there won’t wont be many for the next two posts. Sorry. Once we arrived we did our thing. We pretty much covered the whole city within an hour or two. The city and all the surrounding cities shouldn’t be considered cities. They’re more like towns, that’s how small they are. It’s pretty ridiculous. Since they were so small we made the decision to move up North to Merced and Patterson. Once in Merced, we stayed at a Motel 6 near the freeway.
The room stank of cigarettes and dirty sex. It was truly disgusting but i knew for a fact that the sheets were clean. Lucky for us. I tried to make posts from my new phone but i could not, for it is incapable.
We called it a night at around 12 a.m.
To make this post less boring, i will post some random, fun stuff! as such:

i found the previous video great! The camera work as well done and the action was unexpected, epic and fun! i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

Day 9- The Bohemian Life
We woke up pretty early since the motel people stop serving breakfast after 9 a.m. which is pretty lame because it’s not breakfast at all. Either way, we got ready to suck the day’s dick! We decided to move up to the city of Patterson. It was surprisingly a very nice town but extremely small. Apparently, there was going to be some sort of fair that night, but we didn’t stay. Bummer.
This is pretty much what my surrounding area between cities look like:
Talk about a farm ville.
We decided to visit a client that was interested. It was in the city of Mendota, Ca. It was an hour and a half away from Patterson. Yes, quite a long ride.
Once we arrived we discussed the alarm. He said that he truly wants the alarm because he hasn’t activated his in over a month because its giving him trouble. He wanted to check that his contract was good with ADT, a rival company. Hopefully, those two accounts fall into our hands, that would be awesome and worthwhile! After a hard day’s night we found a motel to spend the night.

Day 10- And Into The Abyss…
The last day in Farm ville! Hallelujah! I was pretty excited to head home. We finished up the day with door knocking in the city of Coalinga, Ca. Unfortunately, no sales were made, bu thats okay! We were going home. It’s about a four ride home but it was a relief. We decided to stop at Taco Bell to try the 3 for 2 deal that they have and i wasn’t that bad, at all. On my way home i decided to take some picture because it was a pretty view all around me. as such:
looks like a desert huh? well its not. obviously. Four hours in a car doesn’t seem so bad once you do it constantly.
That was pretty much my car ride. Until i got to Los Angeles, there was so much traffic. I’ll tell you one thing, i did NOT miss it.
Once i got home i relaxed. Mark wanted to go running and i agreed. They picked me up at around 10:30 p.m. We did our usual mile and then we decided to do a different route. We went up to Mar Vista to run up Bacon. It was pretty steep and i nearly died. It was still pretty fun. I made sure not to step on dog poop this time.

Day 11- Maki Yaki
Today was an epic day for me! Why you ask? I had sushi for the first time! Of course there are other things that happened, so i’ll explain them one at a time.
Sleeping in my bed for the first time in 3 days felt amazing! Sunday is the day that i devote to Julia. She arrived after a failed attempt to go to her house. She was a bit upset that i couldn’t give her Eli, our new dog, but it really wasn’t up to me. Anywho, she kept saying that she wanted sushi but she’s a vegetarian for the summer. My dad heard and took us to a sushi place! it was pretty awesome!
The place was called Maki Yaki. It was on Florence and Paramount, just in case you’re curious. We had to wait because the place was packed! It was surprising. The sushi i got was called “Washington Rolls” why such a name? i have no idea, but they were delicious. Julia decided to break her vegetarian diet! I Win!
Doesn’t that look delicious?! Well it was indeed very good. After we got home, Julia and i relaxed. It was fun. i was supposed to go running but i guess steven couldn’t so he ruined my night. I finally got kingdom heart II back! I’m happy.

Day 12- Lazing on a Monday afternoon…
This day was pretty pretty slow. I really did almost nothing. I sat at home and relaxed. Everyone needs those every once in a while, don’t you agree? Anyways, i was thinking about the universe, its so vast its impossible for there not to be life other than earth. That was kind of a hard sentence to word, but i hope it makes sense. Just check out the following link:

Wasn’t that an experience? I thought it was! Its just so mind-boggling.

Day 13- Those You’ve Known
Is it bad that i’m getting lazy on these daily posts? I knew it would happen, but i won’t stop. I want to finish it! So quite a bit of things happened, i almost quit. I decided to take a day to really think about it. I decided that i’m going to stick with it for the summer. After that, i’m going to find another job, one that isn’t so annoying. First, i will save up for school. I don’t think i can handle another semester off. It’d kill me. I ended the night by going running with Mark, Steve and Sergio. It was pretty chill. I did three miles. I want to move to four pretty soon. Let’s see how this running thing goes.

Day 14- Happiness is a Warm Gun
Today today, hm i wish i could say more. Unfortunately, i cannot. Today was no different than yesterday. I am sad to report that today was just like yesterday, almost. My family and i went to In N out. California is lucky to have this restaurant available. It is, honestly, some of the best burgers i have ever had! They are so fresh. Oh, the fries are too! They are made right there and then, its pretty awesome! Just check it out!
did you enjoy? i hope so!
Anyways, it kinda weird having two phones, but i feel important and sophisticated! Eventhough, it’s only for work purposes it’s still pretty cool.
I really need to catch up on my Glee… I haven’t watch the past three episodes. I should get on that pretty soon. I love Glee. It’s such a unique show! No one ever thought a musical comedy would ever work on Fox, and look what happened?! One of the most successful shows in a long time! I’m glad i caught on as it was getting big.

Day 15- The Black Hole Theory
Mornings suck. I don’t think there is one teenager alive that loves mornings. If there are, i would sure like to meet them. Maybe its my lack of sleep that makes me lazy to wake up, or maybe its my mind telling my body about my crappy job. Oh, speaking of my shitty job, i went to work. It was my dad, me and two co-workers. We decided to work in Chino. That city has a lot of white people, surprisingly. I finished up the surrounding businesses and i went to wait at Starbucks. I always like sitting in starbucks. Its interesting because you see all kinds of people. I hope that doesn’t make me weird. If it does, that’s okay, i accept it.
We finished up and headed home. It’s funny because my dad was discussing Mexico’s corrupt government and how ours isn’t so different. In mexico, you know the names of the drug dealers and drug lords. Of course, they smuggle the drug here, but where does it go? Those millions of dollars of drug, where does it go? The public sure doesn’t know about it. Do they get caught? If they do, how do we know? I sure don’t. Then again, i don’t know a lot of things. These aren’t the things discussed on the news anyway. Or is our law enforcement so shitty, that these drug lords don’t get caught?! The government likes to keep to many things hush hush. Either way, its not right.
