Last night, I started watching Friday Night Lights the tv series from Season 1 again. I was on the couch just...bawling, laughing, enjoying every minute of it. There's just something about that show that is absolute...magic. I have mad, crazy respect for whoever wrote the show, and whoever directs it. It's just done so superbly...Anyways, I thought I would share a few quotes from FNL tonight. We had a bye week and I didn't do a whole lot with my life...Just did a little bit of homework I guess, which is better than nothing so I'm not going to complain!
From Season 3 Episode 12 - Tyra's college acceptance essay
"Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure. But now I find that I can't stop wanting. I want to fly somewhere in first class. I want to travel to Europe on a business trip. I want to get invited to the White House. I want to learn about the world. I want to surprise myself. I want to be important. I want to be the best person I can be. I want to find myself instead of having others find myself. I want to win, and have people be happy for me. I want to lose, and get over it. I want to be not afraid of the unknown. I want to grow up to be generous and bighearted, the way that people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It’s not that I think I’m going to get all these things, I just want the possibility of getting them. College represents the possibility. The possibility that things are going to change. I can’t wait." – tyra collete.
"You have all of us gathered here tonight with the strength to remember that life is so very fragile. We are all vulnerable and we will all at some point in our lives, fall. We will all fall. We must carry this in our hearts - that what we have is special. That it can be taken from us and that when it is taken from us, we will be tested. We will be tested to our very souls. We will now all be tested. It is these times, it is this pain that allows us to look inside ourselves." - coach taylor.
Okay well I'm just putting up two because those are my favourite and I can't remember the other ones but I'm sure there are plenty on IMDB haha! Anyways, my mother bought me rainboots a few days ago, but I know it will stop raining cats and dogs this week just because she bought me rainboots. I got the flushot yesterday morning (Friday after practice) and I nearly had a nervous breakdown. Dr. Davis, who gave me the shot, just happened to be the doc for the soccer tournament I had to work later that day and he definitely did not miss the chance to tease me about that. Anyways, gonna go to bed or research...orwhatever...good night!

Slacker
Currently listening to Jay Sean and Jason DeRulo - exploring some stuff on napster!
Wow so I've totally been slacking but that's okay because the school year started the day after the previous blog entry and it's just been busy, busy, busy! Football has been going crazy good (you know you work for athletics when...you mention football and sports before your academics and other important aspects of life) and we are currently 2-0. Beat SFA 31-23 and UAB 35-33. Thank the lord UAB didn't get that two-point conversion cus it would have been a hell of a long game, and a game that I don't know if we would have been able to finish. Defence is looking excellent and I've got high hopes for this team but perhaps lower expectations. I'm just a realist and I don't want to get too excited to go to a bowl game or anything like that. Hopefully, we are Hawaii bound though, that'd be a nice 'senior gift'!
School has been trucking along...Every Wednesday, I damn near have a nervous breakdown though - I just get so nervous and butterflies in the stomach-ish during Senior Seminar for International Studies...Participation is a HUGE 40% of the grade and when there's like 20 of yall in one classroom for 3 hours just talking about articles and texts regarding controversial issues like globalisation or immigration, I just get nervous and I start thinking about how I need to talk more but then I don't know what to say and...yeah...tear. Cry me a river, please. Besides that, this one EDU class I'm taking is just a hot mess, I don't really know what we're supposed to be doing because we are just doing so much at once and we are reading from the required textbook and then also supposed to be reading from our required content area textbook AND be reading/studying for weaknesses in our content area by reading textbooks, particularly the high school ones they actually use in classrooms today. I mean, that's alot of flippin' reading for one class! And our prof. is a little scatter-brained so I don't even really know if what I'm doing and what I've got planned out for the rest of the semester in regards to studying for weakenesses in my content area and reading out of the required content area textbook is bueno, or no bueno. Slightly confused, and irritated. But I will get over it because I will probably find out sooner than later and hopefully not in the hard way, whatever that may be.
So basically, after my cellular device (BlackBerry 8830 World Edition) essentially blew up because of a defective battery on my birthday (I know, even my Berry wanted to celebrate my turning 21!), I received a free, new silver BlackBerry of the same model. Last Sunday, I proceeded to lose it. I lost it the day after I came back from Birmingham, AL and within a 3 mile radius of where I live. Now tell me I don't suck at life...Haha so about 24 hours later, I convince myself to take out the insurance claim, paid $50 and received a new, red BlackBerry of the same model. About 30 hours later, I'm fixing to do mine and my friend, Sterling's laundry, and there's a notice on the laundry shack door that says "BLACKBERRY FOUND. CALL SMU FACILITIES." I instantly knew it was my BlackBerry...but I had already ordered a new Berry...Fortunately, the 'old' silver Berry is in the same condition as when I lost it and I was able to transfer all of the data to my new red Berry. It sure is nice to have a red Berry again though - it just didn't feel the same with a silver Berry. And that concludes my BlackBerry story.
I need some highlighters, rainboots, new piercings, some new clothes, some new underwear incl. matching bra and panties, I want a new pair of boots and I also want for OverDraft charges to never exist. I hate it when that happens on accident, I'm like DAMN, cus I have the money in savings...I wish the bank would just start subtracting from that instead of charging OD fees.
Nothing new with the whole male situation, just living the single life and not really enjoying it. One side of the bed is perpetually cold...and my stuff animals, Peaches the pig, Peace the bunny, Pumpkin the hamster, Kiwi the kiwi bird and Walter the giraffe are taking over that spot instead. Sigh. What a lonely life. I should be used to this but when I was an only child, at least I had my parents to talk to, I can't even talk to them on the phone cus I don't call international and I don't use a phone card because a like, 60 minute domestic one is probably about 7 minutes international. Pretty effing lame if you ask me!
Anyways, I am starting to get a little sleepy...Tomorrow, I am supposed to hang out with my former roommate and favourite ginger, Kelli, and meet her family of kittens (she aspires to be a cat lady, I may have to join her but perhaps as a dog lady). Then on Friday morning we leave for Lewiston, Idaho for the Pullman, Washington game on Saturday afternoon at 1400 Pacific time. How absolutely exhilirating.
toodles toots.

Bummer
Currently listening to Justin Timberlake's Until the End of Time
So it's about that time of the year when everybody comes back looking bronzed out and pretty-fied. And I'm rockin' Oakley tanlines on my face and a farmers tan everywhere else, thank you football. I got a pretty crappy pity story to share so here it goes. So I'd been talking to this guy for a week and a bit on both Facebook and over text. I definitely have alot of walls built up and they were VERY slowly starting to get chipped away at and I was like okay well he could be a nice guy? Well a few nights ago, following a party, one of my closest friends told me she'd begun talking to a guy after meeting him at the party. They went to the movies together the next night. SURPRISE - obviously, it's the very same guy that I was talking to. I'm not angry and I'm not like saying that I had any claim but ya know, as a girl, you're gonna feel a little deflated, a little disappointed and a little frustrated. I definitely want to give him a good bitch-out session but I think it's better if I move away from that situation. I don't know if my girl friend knows that I was talking to him earlier - I don't believe so - but I wasn't about to tell her either since she, I know, is more needy of a guy to keep her thoughts away from a recent nasty breakup. I don't really feel like talking to this guy anymore and I think he knows that, he didn't exactly make an effort to talk to me - neither did I.
Well, Saturday night was definitely a shitshow and I don't remember how I got home because I was seriously blackout drunk and woke up the next morning butt naked. Nice, Faith. I was alone, in my bed - FYI. But yeah, the rest of the day was pretty bad too, just feeling hungover and crappy and throw-uppy. On top of that, my cellphone pretty much literally crashed and burned at the party - plastic parts were melted, the part of the phone where the battery goes smelled burnt and apparently, the battery was sparking. So Jenny and I went to get me a new phone. Three Verizon stores later, a nice young lady, Raquel, gives me a new SILVER (NOT RED...grr) Blackberry 8830 ... but it also had no battery. Lame. But that's okay because the battery should arrive tomorrow, if not Wednesday.
Classes start on Wednesday - what happened to summer!? I don't know how I feel about this being my senior year - I definitely am excited to get the hell out of here. I guess I'm beginning to see just how much growing up I've done and when I look at people I just kinda shake my head and I'm like damn, yall got so much growing up to do...It's weird, I know it sounds completely conceited and uppity but ya know what, it is what it is. I guess, at the same time however, I miss being so carefree and not having to worry about what happens a year from now - something that is a little up in the air for me right now. I'm scared of the future but I'm also really looking forward to what is in store for me - both the struggles and the good times. I'm thankful for what I've experienced here in the past three years but I guess I feel ready to move on, and that's a difficult emotion to deal with when I have a year left.
On a totally different note, I've decided I need to stay away from the 3 F's - Freshman, Football, and Flaky peple (okay the last one was kind of a stretch but it's true...I hate flakey people! And not like ashy flakey but people who can't keep their word sort of flakey). So again, very random story but this one girl hella randomly started fb chatting me and like, I guess we're good friends now cus she had told my friend to invite me to dinner tonight but that friend forgot to tell me I had an invite and now I'm kinda like wait, how did we even start to get talking like that cus I don't remember that night at all and...I don't want to ask cus I don't want her to be like, hurt or think it rude that I don't remember...but I don't. But I'm also cool with that because she's a hella chill girl and I'm always open to chill girls. As long as they aren't crazy white chicks. White girls around here for real...drive me insaaane.
Anyways, I just wanted to end this blog with some lyrics from a song that I really like...
He broke your heart, he took your soul.
You hurt inside, 'cause there's a hole,
You need some time to be alone.
Then you will find what you've always known...
I'm the one who really loves you baby.
I've been knocking at your door.
As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting.
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there.
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting.
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
I've seen you cry into the night.
I feel your pain, can I make it right?
I realize there's no end in sight...
Yet still I wait, for you to see the light...
I'm the one who really loves you.
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
You are the only one I've ever known that makes me feel this way.
Girl, you are my own, I want to be with you until we're old.
You've got the love you need right in front of you...Please come home.
I'll be waiting...whenever you need me I'll be there...

21.
Currently listening to well nothing actually...
Well we have knocked out 15 football practices thusfar and it has been long, gruelling, challenging, stinkin' hot as hell...all of the above!
On the upside, I got Friday Night Lights Season 3 a week ago, and just finished it a few minutes ago! I HIGHLY recommend FNL - quite possibly one of the most well-scripted, developed and filmed TV series around today. Damn shame there will probably never be any more seasons. I think the second season was probably the best though, season three just had me steaming at some points!
Anyways, I turned 21 on the 20th of August and I am soo happy to be finally legal - 21 years of waiting! Phew, it's been a long time coming, let me tell ya! My first legal drink was a mojito, then a Budweiser on tap, a shot called a Deep Throat, then two more shots of passionfruit Three Olives, Sex with an Alligator, Cherry Vodka Sour and a shot of Rum Runner. I am missing a drink in there because I think I counted 9 but that's okay, no big deal. I had practice /work the next morning at 0645...BUT LO AND BEHOLD, MOTHER NATURE WAS FOR SURE ON OUR SIDE. Woke up and it was just stormin and thundering, lightning like the world was about to end. Got to work and they told us to leave, come back at noon for practice at 1400. I'm tellin ya, somebody upstairs loves me and my coworker who happens to share the exact same birthday as I do. Pretty sure we showed up to work drunk though because I got a splitting headache around 1000 - thankfully, by the time practice rolled around, I was good to go - just a little sleepier than usual but definitely beats being hungover at a practice in Ford Stadium.
loves it.
It's time for bed though - school starts in like 5 days and I have two more twoadays...one tomorrow. Knock it out.

Hola (again)
Currently listening to The World Is Mine (Paul Oakenfold's Downtempo Mix with Sweetie Rap) by David Guetta
THE WORLD IS MINE. Sometimes I forget that while not everything is in my control, I can check myself frequently to ensure that what IS in my control...I am in control of. It's not always easy but ya know what, life ain't easy. Neither is it fair.
Okay, well now that I just did my little rant and rave there for a minute, moving on to bigger things. I went to an HEB Central Market today for the first time. It was quite nice. I was able to buy my precious soy yoghurt and some VERY healthy looking broccoli from Mexico. I also purchased tofu, tempeh and fried tofu. I am so very happy with that. It definitely costs more than going to wal-mart but to get those soy products, I will definitely have to hit up Central Market more. That's like a vegetarian's dream right there. And a nightmare at one point. I thought it was neat how you can like travel through the store and very good marketing to force people to have to go through all sections of the store to reach the cashier. I'm currently munching on some BOMB flour tortillas freshly made at the store...Always heat tortillas and such on a damp paper towel, it prevents it from completely drying out in the microwave. I like flour tortillas moreso than corn tortillas...they just taste better.
Okay so when I see the name DARIUS, I think DA RYE US. Not DARE E US. I know more DA RYE US's than DARE E US. First of all, if you want your child's name to be DARE E US please name your child DERRIUS. I mean, I hate it when people mispronounce my name and I'm sure your child does too...just saying.
Am doing laundry right now - it is so much nicer to have free laundry, like I don't think you understand...I love doing laundry and I like doing it frequently...I probably also need to buy more underwear but that's a whole nother issue on it's own...I just looked at VS online and they have some cute underwear...I could get just 9 pairs of underwear and spend $90. Ain't that some shit. Or I could get 15 pairs and spend $75. That's still some shit. Hahaha, it's a rare day when I find VS XS underwear at the store, gotta get it online...I will probably splurge a little on underwear once I get the next paycheck and have my bills paid. I cut out tanning so that's $50 less every month - go me! I will have to just find another way to tan during the colder times...We'll figure that out another day...
I think I will probably call it a night after I get this laundry out of the dryer. I'm a little angry at myself that I wanted to nap soo badly...and I did nap for like half an hour. Bad Faith! Now I don't really want to sleep (and as I typed that, I just cracked a yawn haha!) So my friend came back from London and was talking about how tired she is and how that 10 hour flight sucked. Well...while I have sympathy for her in the sense that she is a rookie...I don't really sympathise for her THAT much haha - I mean, I flew 13 hours to Chicago O'Hare, was delayed and sat in Chicago for four hours and finally got to Dallas 20 hours later. The flight to Dallas from Tokyo is also roughly 13 hours. While I only make this flight once or twice a year, and I am used to long haul flights moreso than she is...I just wanted to say that while I feel her 'pain'...now she knows how I feel every time I go home/come home! That's all.
So this person I know has some body odour issues...And it's very troubling because I don't want people to think it's me hahaha well it just occured to me I know TWO people with some body odour issues and it's quite unfortuante that they tend to be in close proximity of me much of the day and it's just...not good news bears. I don't know if they're not doing their laundry and recycling clothes or if they simply just don't wear deodrant or something else. I don't know, but it doesn't smell good.
While I was in SF, I was introduced to some very good beer, and not your typical beer. It's called Lambic and it comes in like, a variety of flavours like raspberry, cherry, apple etc. I had the apple and the raspberry - raspberry was better but they were both pretty good, I really liked it! I think I will make this my first purchase as a 21 year old. My first drink will probably be a mudslide because...I like mudslides and they are SO good...it's not even like alcohol anymore. Anyways, I am less than an hour shy of being 10 days away from turning 21 now...WOOHOO!
Party on.
THE WORLD IS MINE. Sometimes I forget that while not everything is in my control, I can check myself frequently to ensure that what IS in my control...I am in control of. It's not always easy but ya know what, life ain't easy. Neither is it fair.

I'm currently munching on some BOMB flour tortillas freshly made at the store...Always heat tortillas and such on a damp paper towel, it prevents it from completely drying out in the microwave. I like flour tortillas moreso than corn tortillas...they just taste better.
Okay so when I see the name DARIUS, I think DA RYE US. Not DARE E US. I know more DA RYE US's than DARE E US. First of all, if you want your child's name to be DARE E US please name your child DERRIUS. I mean, I hate it when people mispronounce my name and I'm sure your child does too...just saying.
Am doing laundry right now - it is so much nicer to have free laundry, like I don't think you understand...I love doing laundry and I like doing it frequently...I probably also need to buy more underwear but that's a whole nother issue on it's own...I just looked at VS online and they have some cute underwear...I could get just 9 pairs of underwear and spend $90. Ain't that some shit. Or I could get 15 pairs and spend $75. That's still some shit. Hahaha, it's a rare day when I find VS XS underwear at the store, gotta get it online...I will probably splurge a little on underwear once I get the next paycheck and have my bills paid. I cut out tanning so that's $50 less every month - go me! I will have to just find another way to tan during the colder times...We'll figure that out another day...
I think I will probably call it a night after I get this laundry out of the dryer. I'm a little angry at myself that I wanted to nap soo badly...and I did nap for like half an hour. Bad Faith! Now I don't really want to sleep (and as I typed that, I just cracked a yawn haha!) So my friend came back from London and was talking about how tired she is and how that 10 hour flight sucked. Well...while I have sympathy for her in the sense that she is a rookie...I don't really sympathise for her THAT much haha - I mean, I flew 13 hours to Chicago O'Hare, was delayed and sat in Chicago for four hours and finally got to Dallas 20 hours later. The flight to Dallas from Tokyo is also roughly 13 hours. While I only make this flight once or twice a year, and I am used to long haul flights moreso than she is...I just wanted to say that while I feel her 'pain'...now she knows how I feel every time I go home/come home! That's all.
So this person I know has some body odour issues...And it's very troubling because I don't want people to think it's me hahaha well it just occured to me I know TWO people with some body odour issues and it's quite unfortuante that they tend to be in close proximity of me much of the day and it's just...not good news bears. I don't know if they're not doing their laundry and recycling clothes or if they simply just don't wear deodrant or something else. I don't know, but it doesn't smell good.
While I was in SF, I was introduced to some very good beer, and not your typical beer. It's called Lambic and it comes in like, a variety of flavours like raspberry, cherry, apple etc. I had the apple and the raspberry - raspberry was better but they were both pretty good, I really liked it! I think I will make this my first purchase as a 21 year old. My first drink will probably be a mudslide because...I like mudslides and they are SO good...it's not even like alcohol anymore. Anyways, I am less than an hour shy of being 10 days away from turning 21 now...WOOHOO!
Party on.
Welcome Back
Currently listening to one of those lame Sonic ads...the $3 guilt-free one.
Well, we've started camps as of yesterday. Just one practice and a walk thru yesterday, it went well, despite some setbacks/midstream adjusting. It was a good practice, started off with 220's...and alot of people throwing up and half-way dying...But they did well and we are proud of them. My friend just came back from study abroad in London and is excited to go back to work tomorrow. My shoulders/body in general is quite sore from the 'workout' of work yesterday. It was kind of intense just because we thought we were doing one thing and instead, we found out we were doing something else, much later on.
Other than that, I've also had a little bit of trouble in my life. My friend 'accidentally' got me in quite a bit of trouble - trouble that I hope to be resolving after the 10am tomorrow...I just need to get a little slap on the wrist and be done with this, it's not what I need to be troubled with right now. In fact, I can't even believe I'm in trouble for helping somebody out. We all know college athletics is corrupt. EVERY SCHOOL. I don't care where you are, as long as it's a D1, I know for CERTAIN that there is always something sketchy about college athletic departments. I don't care what you say either, I WORK for one and I just...KNOW it. Whether it's academics, steroids, financial, or other personal issues, every athletic department has skeletons in their closet. And it's a big walk-in closet. Believe you me.
I need to make lunch...making, making.
Well, I just got a check for $200 from my friend whom I got out of trouble a while back. Just $1,000 left for him to pay back hahaha...Oh dear. Well, anyways, I really don't have a lot to blog about. We are kind of shortstaffed at work but to me, I think it's working better. Ya know when you just simply have too many people working and you don't know who's doing what anymore or some people don't have anything to do at all? Well, I think that's the case here - and with less people working, we all stay busy and we all have a better idea of where or what the other coworkers are doing. That is my type of workplace. I definitely snapped at one coworker yesterday because of a snarky little comment (it was snarky to me but she didn't mean it to be snarky). However, I was trying to be 21 about the situation (hahaha!) and apologised to her less than 15 minutes later. Go me. Just 11 more days until I'm 21!!! Gosh, I can't believe that I came here to Dallas at the age of 17 and am finally turning 21 here. It's pretty crazy when I sit here and think about it...
My mama called me last night but I was just so drained last night and I honestly didn't even feel like talking to her...which is bad because last phone conversation didn't go down too well at all..And I just feel really bad, it's nothing personal against her, I feel like she just called me at the wrong time, twice...I love my mommy though :( I feel really bad...Oh well...I guess we'll both get over that one day or another hahaha. Wow I'm watching these people stage this huge 5,000 sq. ft., 2.3 million home ... and it looks absolutely terrible. HGTV, I am disappointed in you. Anyways, I need to go finish making lunch and clean and febreeze my couch that smells dusty...what is with that, how do I get that dusty smell out, I just want to throw the entire damn couch into a washing machine. Obvioulsy, not happening. Oh. And will somebody please flippin' teach me how to drive already, geez. Am I asking for a whole lot? I realised I definitely have little person syndrome - I want a big truck. But not happening, I know it's not a good idea for me hahaha. I love big trucks though. I like big anything I guess. Ha, that's what she said...
Toodles.

San Francisco Blogging
Currently listening to Beautiful by Eminem (new single)
Greetings from foggy Francisco! Dang this place feels so nice (okay, I hated it for the first few hours but I'm not going to lie, this definitely beats the 100 degree weather in Texas) but it is so flippin' MISTY and like foggy here. I got here on Tuesday (the 28th) and we went out that day to some Club X since its a 18+ and oh right, I'm still 20 days shy of turning 21. Totally lame. All the bouncers here are like Samoan/Tongan aka Polynesian guys and they're actually pretty good looking. I was just thinking, damn these guys are probably Evan (my Tongan friend)'s cousins haha and his mom said they probably are (over facebook, yes I'm friends with my football boys' mamas)!
Anyways, my friend is chatting away to her boyfriend so I'm sitting here blogging on a Thursday night. Yes, the life of a not-quite 21 year old. LAME. I could never live in San Francisco though, for real. I've never seen so many homeless people in such terrible condition and it's crowded, kinda dirty...I don't know, I've just never been a huge fan of CA. I did like the Corona Del Mar area though - I went there three spring breaks ago, it was awesome...So much fun and visited my friend at UC Irvine as well. Also, there are just like NO eligible bachelors around here, where ARE THEY? And there are so many Asians here, damn! I mean I'm Asian myself but dang, that's alot of my people!
Well, I went shopping today with Val and bought a nice black pencil dress at H&M and a dark green maxi dress at Forever 21. Along with a pretty pair of earrings, two hairbands with a cute little bow on each of them and hairpins with bows on them too. I'm trying to step up my cute/girly factor a little. And what's more girly than little bows HAHAHA I'm just kidding. But definitely this one go-go dancer/server girl at this club I go to got me thinking that bows ARE kinda cute...She was on Paris Hilton's BFF show, Katie - she works at a Dallas club and she's just such a sweetheart!
So not alot of people know this song but Grind Mode's I'm So High/Fly is ... my jam. And there's this video on youtube of these guys doing (I guess what they call) the South Miami jook...Damn that shit is crazy good, beats most of the retarded dances we have in Dallas haha but I ain't gonna lie, I like the Dallas stuff we do too. Can't always say it's original but it works. Anyways, I'm about to head out woohoo.
Toodles toots.
