I don't know what it is, but it seems like when ever I make plans with
people, plans NEVER go through. Lately I've been setting myself up for
failure, saturday was the worst; I made plans with 3 different people
and they all fell through. Uber fail. There must be something in the
air or maybe it's the change in the weather? People have been acting
really "blah" lately, like those who usually talk to me are not talking
to me, ignoring me or just avoiding me at all costs. I wonder if it's
something I did, or did I step in crap or something? Wait It can't be,
I wear a different pair of shoes everyday I dont know, people are just
blah. So I guess I'll stop making plans with people to avoid getting
canceled on again, for now I'll just go about with my plans. I'd rather
not waste my time again.
So I left the house this morning with this weird feeling that I forgot
something. I thought things over in my head on my way to work:
- Locked the doors
- Shut off the lights
- Shut off the heater
- Shut off the coffee maker
Nothing
major I could think of so I continued on, walked into the office, sat
at my desk and continued to work on my assigned projects. So just
before lunch, Kevin called a company meeting and thats when It hit
me... I left my damn lunch on the kitchen counter. Great.
...Fail.
Bills!!!! And more plans to kick off 2009
Wow the holiday aftermath! I just checked my credit card statement and
I spent 1000 dollars on myself in the last 2 weeks! ... I guess I
spoiled myself rotten ... must refrain from buying stuff.
Although,
it does feel good to finally have a radio for the car that my iPod can
actually be attached to. GOOD BYE CDS! ... HD radio is freaking awesome
too!
So I went to check my bank account earlier and I just
realized I've been doing a good job at saving lately. Glad to see more
zeros after a positive whole number/series of whole numbers in that
account than minus signs. I was not hesitant to actually send 1000
bucks off to the credit card company. I really should try to lock up
the card somewhere to attempt and try to dig my ass out of debt.
(stupid ex-girlfriends sent me there)
Money is tight though, I
still feel it. My friends keep saying Im ballin', I beg to differ, Im
still in debt after my last relationship so Im definately NOT ballin'.
If I was I would not be here typing this random blog, I would be out
somewhere tropical. Anyway, there are so many cool things I want and
cool places I want to go but money is still an issue. This month is
really going to be a busy month for me, lets see how I can manage my
budget.
SO this weekend Im planning to head up to vegas for the
consumer electronics show. This is going to take some careful planning
and budgeting. Im actually planning to fly up there this time:
From
LB to LV, a round trip ticket is about 140 bucks. If I were to drive up
there: the cost is the same in gas. Since I work full time , I have to
find a way to maximize my stay in sin city:
- fly up after work on friday (2 hours) go check in at a hotel by 10pm
- call friends and roll ViP to the clubs they DJ at 12am - 6am
- nap for an hour and pound 2 redbulls, head to CES at the convention center
- maybe check out the AV convension in the other exhibition hall LOL.
- Clubbing again, pound 2 more redbulls
- CES last day
- fly out of vegas at 5pm, be home by 8pm and knock out, head to work the next day.
so
where am I gonna stay? Prob my friend's houses or cousin's house .. $$
saved. ViP for free ... $$$ saved, drinks are free , $$$ saved. I prob
will only spend money on the plane tix and entrance to CES. well see...
plans are tentative.
The weekend after CES I will be attending
the NAMM 2009 show in Anaheim. This year I'll be rolling with my
friend's company and then walking around and shooting the shizz with my
fellow programmers at Serato Audio Research and buying the RANE
corporation homies a round of drinks. I'll be on the hunt for those
free tickets to the shows. Last year stevie wonder came out on stage.
Hmm I wonder what other celebrities I will meet this year. Last year I
met: Taylor Swift, Billy Douche Bag Corgan from smashing pumpkins, Jr.
Sanchez, Kenny G, Stevie Wonder, Shiny Toy Guns (I had No Idea steve
went to High school with the drummer, Chill guys!), Kill switch engage
(drunk mofos! lol cool guys also) and EverClear. Im really looking
forward to this year. Who knows who I will run into and what other cool
goodies I'll snatch up this year =)
Oh and yea, I kicked it into high gear, those who wanted to make plans with me, you guys missed your chance... Now Im busy!
I took a trip up to Beverly Hills today after work to hang out with some friends at Mulberry Street Pizzeria. Oh man I have not been to this place in a long time! Last time I found myself here was back in 2005 when I was hanging around with friends in that area. We used to meet there every other week for one of their famous pies. Sometimes celebrities would come through and have a bite to eat there. The place hasnt changed much except for the growing number of signatures and photographs that cover the brick walls of the building.,
Watching the guys toss the pizza dough around is a sight in its self. You almost forget you were in a town filled with glamorous celebs and snooty, prissy , plastic looking bimbos walking up and down the street flaunting money that they dont know what to do with. As if the cars on the street were not distracting already; BMW, Porsche, Audi, Bentley, Rolls, Ferrari ,McLaren, Lamborghni, Honda. LOL no seriously, there was a civic hybrid parked in front of a bentley. But once you step into this shop, it was like stepping into a pizza place on Mulberry street in NY. If I remember correctly, they truck drinking water from New York by the barrels and they also import their dough from NY to keep the traditional taste. I'll tell you this: it's damn awesome.
