| wow today was 9/11...... like big date in american history. does it seem weird people don't think it's too big of a deal, do some people make too much a deal? A lot of people died that day. it was a dark day for america but we bounced back eh. Do you ever wonder if we as a society handle death very well? I don't think we do. I mean it's just the small things that comes along. When people talk of death, they are subtle about it. "Passed Away", "Didn't make it" "moved on" "isn't with us anymore" "with god now". Like people say everything but ''they died'. I wonder if that's a conscious effort or if it happens without them knowing. People don't like to write their wills or think about life insurance, or at least most my age. And they're like, i'm too young, i don't have anything. But it seems to me like maybe their not ready to deal with death? Or even a living will, what happens if you're in a coma? People just put things off because the seriousness it too great for them or something. The i'll do it later attitude placed on it, i mean first people don't want to use the d-word, and now they don't want to think of their own death. The acceptance of such a thing seems hard to do I guess.
When i sit there doing my own will, and all sorts of documents, it's erie feeling really. but i do it anyways, and i like to think i'm better off now having done it. things are in order in case something happen. i wonder if others are the same.
on the other hand, i joke my own death in conversation. especially now i'm with the army. i'm just like everyone else, afraid of death and what not. but i make the jokes just the same. Man, if i see a guy come running at me while i'm overseas, I just know it's over cuz he's gonna go ka-boom on us. if i'm looking for mines and i make a mistake, oh man i hope i lose the right arm instead of the left!
oh well, not sure, i have weekend drill tomorrow and still can't help feel like i'm not sure i'm all cut out for the army stuff but i'm chugging along. I should do well. more later

| Nationals was in Surprise, Arizona. It was a chance of a lifetime. I went with Jamie, Anna, Daniella, Andra, Sam, Brian, Michael and Quan. Of course Coach and John. Flew Southwest Airlines. April 14-19. The freaking trip was good. I had a lot of fun. I could right all about it. I hate to know you had a great memory/moment and you forget it years down the road. I don't want that to happen. Life has too many memories to forget. I felt like that trip got me closer to people too. Like Brian and I got closer. and like Jamie, um... I don't know if i ever mentioned her but we used to be friends (closer friends) and over the past semester/year we grew apart. I guess i was tired of her cuz she had issues you know (still does) and well I was always good with Sam. Brian told me his secrets in the pool, that sounds dirty but well it happens. Quan/Jamie had weird relationship problems all week. They're the on/off again couple. It was different, sometimes being nice gets you back to people.
I got into the Army Reserves. It's gonna be a fun day. 5/19 is my ship date for Fort Jackson. i'll comment more later, i'm really tired.
anyways my continuation.
Nationals was fun, don't believe me, facebook has the photos. I learned about Brian liking someone, he told me in the pool. And I always suspected you know. But to hear him say it, well I don't know, it was something else. It made everything make sense. But now the problem is, he has a gf and she has a bf. But she told him, 'my bf is in ___ state' so that's like an invitation? That's like saying 'is there a mr. johnson?' and mrs johnson goes 'he's away on business'... you know? so how does one go about it. I mean being good friends and hanging out every night is cool. But when your gf doesn't know you do it, have you done anything wrong. If you only see your gf once a month have you done anything wrong? And what if the other girl kinda likes you too and she has a bf out of state. I don't know man. It's a touch place to be. tough to answer.
Okay so invitationals. I lost C singles but won C doubles! I finally got a prize! haha. And I went to wild wings with david to meet a friend and her friend. 7.50 pitchers are expensive! They do taste well though. But David and I were hungry so we had wings. I ended up driving a 08 civic home, the shifter is very short throw and smooth. I loved it! But I'm just glad i got my friend home safe. Under bro code/guy laws david and I are never to dicuss in details the events of that night. But it did make me like think again about ever joining a girl for drinks. So when jamie wanted to drink the next day, I was like i dno't know about this. We got her vodka cuz she wanted it. She had a bad break or something, the point was she wanted to be drunk. Silly girl. Unfortunately I got to tired by 1120pm to continue the night, so I missed the party where all the fun began, because an underage girl can't drink at slick willies so she wanted a party. And I was her ride, but you know what people come through and someone else got her home. and than I came home, tired although I haven't done anything. But I was just thinking, that girl owes me a lot. Damn. haha. I really not sure I want her at my welcome back party, she's cool and all but I don't know. I don't plan on my welcome back as a drinking party, it's a harry potter party! and i'm not a drinker at all. I have a bud select every so often. Like once a week. Drinks add a lot of unnessary calories to my diet, I have to get on a low intake deit, burn the calories and than improve cardio... I leave for the army for buddha sake!

| Semester is winding down, it's getting hectic and crazy and life is being life. I'm still waiting to hear from the military. I hope I get in. If not it's summer school and a summer job, a nice big ass summer job! Pizza driver. lol. or something. lol.
I got a call saying I may have won something, yeah right. All I have to do is visit the resort at lake conroe. I guess it's worth a visit. I may start playing the lottery. The car is fix and cost about 2k and that will haunt me. The economy is really down. I mean this new president said things would be different and well from what I seen, they got worst. Democrats start slow I guess. Who knows.
A lot of my college expense was placed on credit, so now I need to transfer those balances out to another zero interest card and play the game for a while. College is getting expensive and you know it. I will double efforts for gov't aid this time around. I will need more hours at work to make more money to handle the unsecured debt (credit cards, that's finance/business talk for it). Books, fees, Books, tutition, it all goes zip just like that. Stupid school. I need hard cash fool!!!!!
I may even cut back on tennis and stuff to work more. maybe work full-time and school full time, i have a friend who does that, for now.......... or i can teach more private lessons, $20 an hour, teach like 4 a weekend is 80 bucks. 80 x 4 is 240, plus 200 a month i make now. that'd be more helpful. I applied to Krogers. I'll go walgreens next, cy-fair ISD , papa johns, wherever they have a 'hiring' sign. my brother says i'm over qualified for a lot of those jobs, but the times got rough and I need to rough it.
I could sell drugs but that'd be wrong. I'm a good person. Maybe I'll do people's homework for money? sell stuff? sell myself?
oh well, leaving for phenoix for nationals is exciting, I just wish I could enjoy it all the other teammates. i'll photo post and vlog daily for them. And i'll miss my friend's bday celebration. but this break is maybe soemthing i need. Lately I have been really really tired on the courts. Like dying tired. I know i'm fat and out of shape, but this is bad. Losing matches because i'm tired. I just hope it's that and not some underlying huge medical problem. Like some form of muscle degenteration or depletion of red blood cells.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA! enjoy being 22. | | |
| Slumdog millionaire, what can I say, it was a good movie. It sucks how he knew all the answers, if I say anymore I'd give the movie away. I liked it. horrible childhood he went through though. I recommend it.
Lucky Ones, I liked this movie too. Great misadventure movie starring Michael Pena, Tim Robbins and my canadian girl Rachel McAdams. I recommend this movie too.
I'm still waiting to hear from Sgt. Johnson about the US Army Reserves.
My new glasses came in, the lenses are too thick and the frames are big. Argh I made a mistake. I put my car in the shop to get it fixed. That will cost about 2000 bucks.
My eyes suck like balls. I'm a weird creature, if I hear of something, I like research the web all about it. Whether it's something about Crohn's Disease, myopia, metacarpal dislocation fracture, etc.... I suffer from myopia and astigmatism. Astigmatism is um, well most people have a slight astigmatism, naturally if you vision isn't 20/20 you have a slight degree of it because with this condition, the shape of the eye, torwards the front lens/retina/cornea area isn't round in a circular/sphereical fashion, it's more rugby ball shaped. This causes multiple focal points in the eye, casuing blurry vision. I was until a few months ago, left eye dominate, But now the astigmatism in my right eye is gone and my left eye has one now. So i'm always squinting, suffering from headaches (because the images become difficult to make out). So it's like my vision is half good, half blurry and sometimes I just can't focus on a point. I'm wearing my glasses my right eye is closed, and I have my glasses on, But I can't make out a single letter on the screen as I type this out. I can however with my right eye. But that sucks you know. I'm like, stupid eyes...... If Obama was really a good president he help me get new eyes. When I start my multi-billion dollar company, i will research heavily into eyes and optometry. So no one will ever have to suffer like I do. No one will ever be turned down because of their vision. I will cure myopia, without a laser. I want to find the genetic code for it and eliminate it from the human body. (speaking of which, not to be rude, but I hope my future wife who ever she may be has 20/20 and comes from a family with 20/20 people, that way our kids have a much stronger chance of being 20/20). I mean what the hell? Asian peoples, you give us intelligence and stuff, but give us bad eye sights and tiny penis (or is it peni, and yes that was a Russell Peters joke). glasses suck. I'll never forget how people picked on me in school. I mean in college they're cool now, people are more accepting of them. But when you're a kid, it sucked. Sports weren't easy. Easiest way to beat you was people made sure you couldn't see.
But something will happen. Like if I have to put myself into a coma for a year to get 20/20, I'd totally do it. I think it's possible, theorically the eye is just elongated in myopia, so force me into a coma, and cut open my skull and reshape the eye via manual traction. but the eyes into a case, and slowly change the shape back into a sphere. And with me in a chemically induce coma, I wont' feel the pain they'd be free to handle my eyes. Because a complete eye transplant isn't possible (sorry Minority Report, you guys are such liars even for sci-fi). The eye is connected to the optic nerve(duh) which is connected to the CNS, and you can't just unplug that and plug a new one. So if i can find a way to make that possible, not only would I make complete/whole eye transplants possible but I would make radical steps in healing quads/spinal cord injuries. This may take stem cell stuff, if you're uncomfortable with that, I'm sorry. My stance on stem cells is that it can help a lot of people. We're not build like sharks, immune to diseases, myopia/hyperopia, cancer, etc. Their CNS/biological cell complex and genetics built them to survive. They lived longer than humans (sharks are millions of years old).

| Was Notorious BIG and Diddy really right? More money more problems? If my wondrous spring break(s) have told me, it's that I could use more money.
New Glasses - $168
Doctor Co-pay - $15
Unleaded Gas- $20
Sprint Phone Bill- $55
Of course That's not a big deal though right? Well if we add in the stuff about my car accident. Well, let's see, my car's hood cost 330, headlights 120, bumper is 240. The guy's car I hit however, his quote was $780 plus $25 a day car rental. So about $880 total. Of course the insurance would pay for the other guy's car, however the claim would go on my record. Raising my rates for at least five years, and staining my record for five years. So yea, my dad yelled at me for not trying to talk to the guy to settle the accident and avoiding the insurance company. Because my mom was like, if the damage is only 300-400 we'll pay cash to avoid the insurance. My dad today says if under $1000 we could handle it. Well I didn't know. I thought 1000 was a lot for us. So yeah, I called the guy and asked him and he said $780 for the work on his car. So my dad is telling me to call tomorrow the insurance company (we both have AllState) to try and fix it, and to call the guy and ask him about fixing it too.
My dad says I just don't care and or pay attention to stuff and all I do is go to school, tv, eat and sleep. I should be working to fix out my accident and stuff. Otherwise when I graduate I won't be able to buy a car and get insurance because my rates will be too high. So I need to fix it and get it off my record and sweet talk the dude and the insurance people. Than again, it's so wonderful how all I hear about my car accident is how I'm to "learn from my mistake", which was hitting another car. It seems like, they just think I did everything wrong in the world and I hit the car either on purpose or because I was a horrible driver or I did something wrong, that's why the accident happen.. 
My spring break(s) are crappy, no one calls me, no one answers my call, I get into car accidents, and I sit around waiting to see if I'll get into the National Guard. All I have to the moment is Smallville, season 4, 5 and now I'm on six. It's like gee jimmy, get out and do something. Inside all day with harry potter books and dvds. Well I would if I could, but driving at night I get into wrecks that ruin me financially, and no one seems to be free. And I like TV!
I take it back, I love TV/Movies. I enjoy stories because I enjoy 'going away'. I love to imagine being in the world of harry potter or just get lost in it. I enjoy losing myself in the world of smallville, firefly, tscc, whatever. It takes you away from your crap hole. Dave Nelson said ''life's a bitch, than you die'' and Jimmy James agreed.
I'm slacking too much in school, you don't need too many distractions. Lionel Luthor said you must do whatever it takes to survive and he built a great company. I can do it too. People will remember the name Jimmy Nguyen. People will know, not to mess with that guy. People with know, how much they suck compared to him. Jimmy Nguyen will own all of Texas. and one day all of America. Jimmy Nguyen will own you, and everyone you know. I want that power someday, and i will fight to get it. I want to be so strong if i tell someone to not eat, they strave themselves to death. I want to be able to tell a man to kill his wife, and he do it out of fear what i'll do to him if he doesn't! I'll be an accountant for a while, but just wait, a few years later I'll have millions to my name, than billions. I don't have an anger issue either.
it seems a bit glim, but given my current situation I find it acceptable, i'm sure my outlook and attitude will turn better when something good comes along.
