[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Just because I’m vulgar sometimes, it doesn’t mean I am tactless. It comes within context of the subject.

Many of my friends think I give good criticism. I have never given bad advice, to say the [...]

Rhetoric I 0

Often I wonder if all I have to do is try harder. Often I wonder if all I have to do is pick up the phone or maybe, even just drive over and grab her out. Sometimes, I ask myself, “Do I just have to say it?” or is that simply not enough [...]

Continued Story 0

Pat tells us that he wishes to travel, experience the world and witness with his eyes the things that happen every where. He will take his legs, his feet, his hands with him to fulfill that sort of desire one day for many days and nights. With him, he will bring his camera, [...]

Sheryl 0

5:44am
Just now I heard “Amazing isn’t it? Why is she so driven? No, why do people sing or want to fly? Even to the extent of going into space.”
Then the girl replied “Isn’t it obvious? Like we could do anything else.”
The second girl said “That’s right!”
The boy comments, “I fly because [...]

Unconditional Love 0

2:45am
Last September, Michelle entered into her blog “Unconditional Love” about accepting those that are less fortunate into our families to care for them. Though I agree with her message at the end of her post, I also had my perspective on the matter. You can read about her entry HERE.
My response was:
You know, [...]

The Hidden Alcoholic 0

3:04am
I was just laughing at a realization I came upon a few moments ago that if I didn’t have my friends and I didn’t have these responsibilities, I would be a very sick alcoholic right now. If I had the money and I did not have these responsibilities and the friends that actually tactfully [...]

Boyhood Comments Off

11:55pm
I was just relaxing and holed out up in here for the entire day thinking about various things. Of course, I also engaged in some MSNing and phone conversations for work and watched roughly 5 hours worth of anime.

Ulterior Motives 0

6:16pm
Sincerity is nice and honored. However, when I posted an ad on Craigslist for a female companion in the form of pure platonic friendship, I did not expect anything further to form from friendship. Rather, I did not use the friendship ad to alternatively seek out a girlfriend or possible sexual relationship of [...]

Taking Things For Granted 0

4:12am
My sleep schedule, as always, is screwed up. I went to bed around 7:30pm and got up finally at 3am. In between, I woke up once. So there were two dreams I had that I remembered both of which were very unsettling.
The first dream had to do with losing my brother. [...]

Vision Without Action is a Daydream 4

2:38am
There’s a lot of things I would like to try and have tried some of those things. I continue to try to see if I can do some of those things, but something inside here [points to my chest] stops me at the last moment and sometimes, circumstance stops my choices from materializing. [...]

Tune: “Nocturne” by Secret Garden
Drink: Ginseng Tea
I once saw a photo of a nude woman suspended in an ocean. I wanted to purchase that framed photo, but at the time, $180 US was a bit steep for me. As well, there isn’t a place in the house I can quite hang it up [...]

Tune: “Traveler” by Rhian Sheehan
Drink: Blue Ice Beer

Has the view ever been better? Never. That’s because I’ve never had a view with a better view, nor a view that is equally as good. Which in clarity means the view is mediocre.

Tune: “Sarabande Suite (Aeternae)” by Globus
Drink: Paarl Ruby Port
I had a vision, where I was completely clad in plate armour and I had a claymore drawn towards the sky. Then in one swift move, I stabbed myself through the chest, as the army moved beyond me for their own war. Then I drifted [...]

All That Glitters, Is Not Gold 3

6:03am
Tune: “Preliator” by Globus
Typing/writing while having some song blast in the background isn’t quite the same as when reading the same entry, because one tend to concentrate less on the words of the entry and divert a part of that attention to the song itself.
Not always, but this song has lyrics.
Good song though.
So this got [...]

It’s good.

I HANDED MY TIER 2 WORK IN JUST NOW! Woohoo!
My gosh, between 5pm yesterday to roughly 6:15am today, I’ve had about an hour break. That’s including dinner, snacks, dicking around, and multitasking an entry that I de-published a few minutes ago.

The Fonseca really hits the spot. Especially when it was chilled beforehand. ^_^
For the last three days, I thought about my relationship with my soon-to-be 10 year old cousin Brandon. During the summer, I watched this anime called “Aishiteruze Baby”. It’s about a 5 year old girl who’s dad [...]

The More It Happens… 4

1:37am
To break out of my religious rants lately and back into Leemanism, I was just thinking throughout the day that there are things that has been stopping the ‘progression’ of certain situations from happening in the last year since I came back from Hong Kong, but before I continue, a tune for you…

My Thanks To Women – The Emotional Core 4

11:16pm
Women, without you, we will lose out on so much. We work hard for ourselves and our families. In all our varying degrees, we strive for different things – things that can harden us, and stress us out over time. Sometimes, this stress and the frustrations can turn us astray, and sometimes, [...]

Punctuation & Grammar, EBay, BitDefender, And Sex 0

11:46am
One constant thing that has always urked me throughout the years is the incorrect usage of grammar and punctuation, especially particular spelling such as “you are”, “you’re”, and “your” – the first two being the same things.
Another thing is the separation of paragrah. I’ve noticed that a lot of people – and let me [...]

Fumbling With His 3 Pound Balls (Updated 8/20/07) 3

12:23am
Sometimes, I feel like an old man and my grandsons come home from overseas and visit me. Sometimes, they bring me a bottle of Port. Other times, they bring me amusing stories. Then there are times like tonight where they bring me bokkens. There’s nothing like bringing an old man a [...]

Brandon The Horndog 0

11:51am
I considered putting this in the last entry, but keeping them separate would be less ‘confusing’.
Brandon, my 9 year old cousin has become one of the youngest… No, correction. He has become THE youngest pervert I have ever known personally in the last 28 years. I mean, I was perverted starting at [...]

The Young Uns 0

11:29am
This has been on my mind for awhile now, but the concept has been in my mind since the late 90’s. I was thinking that I have spent a few thousand dollars on my cousins over the last two years on gifts and such, but they were and are still quite young and most [...]

Reminiscing On Beer 0

11:05pm
Another night, another beer… I seriously need my own mini-fridge and stash, but then comes the nagging from my parents. The good things living with parents is that there is guaranteed breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including a snack later in the evening. Living costs also goes down to the basics. I [...]

That as you can see was 2:38pm Pacific Standard Time.

Pulsating Beans 2

1:59pm
This last half of the week can’t be any more screwy! Not only am I not going through my Razor work as quickly as I initially thought, but I can’t get this damn flow going with my client’s new shopping cart project. I hate doing half ass jobs, and my runabout last night [...]

Envy Of My Bro Edmond 3

4:23am
‘Oddly’, I had another dream this morning where my brother and I were alien agents disguised as humans being lead around a hospital by a round Asian-type man with glasses and a sweater – he looked nerdy. We made sure it looked like a tour, that we were some VIP or something like that. [...]

So I did make it back alive after all. 8] Yeah I know, but always just in case. I should update my will as soon as my many mosquito stings go away. Going up that 10 kilometre trail was friggin painful. PAINFUL! Up that trail, I carried about 20 [...]

More Than 3cm's 1

1:42am
["Get Away From You" - Terra De Sol]
As my work files render to 300DPI for tomorrow’s (Thursday) print job, I’ll take this chance to enter tonight’s entry. I contemplated whether to restart my private journals again, as in some way – no, in many ways, I miss those days/nights where I would pour my [...]

A Look Inside 2

1:58am
["Bornotto B" - Protogroup]
This will most likely be very weird for most people who stumble here. However, I’ll make an explanation before I enter this. Since I have always believed text and scripted words are primitive in communication, text and words alone can never explain my thoughts. Fortunately, it is myself that [...]

The Way You Dream Sometimes 1

1:27am
["Deep Reflections" - Blended]
I feel so dried-out that I haven’t ridden my bike since Saturday, and haven’t gone to the gym since Friday. [sigh]
So I finally went and cancelled all of my accounts with sites that I joined about two or so months ago. No, not porn sites. You know what? [...]

Wanna Come With Me? 2

1:41am
["Stronger" - Sugababes]
It’s time I go back to being myself after such a long a tedious journey. If you’re wondering, it’s not that I wasn’t myself, it’s just that I lost something along the way. It’s numbing to live like this. It was even more frustrating to be unable to find what [...]

Cloud Age Symphony 0

2:12am
["Toki No Tabiji" - DJ Krush, ft. Inden]
Mr. Krush never cease to churn out some raging orgasmic sounds from his machines.
So an update on my stuff. How boring. [thumb up] Got off my day job at 4pm, went home, touched up on some of the decals I was working on for [censored]. [...]

Orange Juice @ 1:34am 1

["Infinity" - Vargo]
I think I am hopelessly lost in the realm of intimate emotions. I wasn’t willing to let go and this is where it got me. I thought I would be stronger than this, but as I was wandering around in SWG, I felt that there is indeed a ‘pool of acid’ [...]

Milk From Dairyland 2

11:35pm
I’ve been tricked! Upon closer inspection, this is 4 litres of Dairy Glen milk! [waves fist] It tastes a lot better than Lucerne though. Lucerne milk tastes like a cow just gave birth and some of its birth-juices/slime somehow got mixed in with its milk. If you’re wondering how I [...]

It Was 2

12:50am
["Structure Two" - Phoenelai (LINK)]
This song sounds like one of my older ones. You know? I wish I can go back to tracking music. I think it would make me be a bit happier. It might even help me release some of my ‘hidden’ anger.
I spent the day out with Albert [...]

The Gray From The White 2

3:02am
["Gate Crashers @ 56:00" (CD2)]
The single memory I remember from when I was a bit more than a year was lying in between my mom and my dad in bed at night. I was awake for some reason and the entire room flashed. I looked toward the window, through the separation of the [...]

The Last Few Steps 2

3:17am
["Kirara" by Eitetsu Hayashi & Kaoru Wada]
This song doesn’t really suit my mood at the moment, but I put it on to help create a nostalgic feeling. Unfortunately, it’s not working. This is probably due to the spicy ginger ice-cream I am eating right now. It’s interesting really. Would I buy [...]

Like Prana 0

3:27am
["Like Prana" by Afterlife]
Gorgeous beats, as usual… 8] Come on, if you go through my musical selection, I have THE BEST selection of house, jazz, and ambient trip hop. [sigh] I miss my company days… Those nights, sipping First Estate Taylor Fladgate Port, chilling on the couch, sampling some of [...]

Fate & Destiny 0

11:14pm
["ChillHouse Mix 2 (CD1)" - Cafe Del Mar]
Very delicious beats. 8]
The FTX team is on high-gear at the moment. A dozen emails has been passed back and forth since yesterday. Benny and Jason will be coming over to my place tomorrow evening to plug the PHP calls into the FTX UI. [...]

Voices in the Wind 3

1:27am
["Voices" by Yoko Kanno]
The last few weeks has been quite productive. The last of the FTX UI is under way. I feel tired. It’s about time the FTX project comes to a close. After dawdling (on my end) since September 2005, I believe that my production criteria for the past few [...]

Can't Take My Eyes Off You 0

11:54pm
[Listening "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Lauren Hill]
Stuck at home at 5 minutes before midnight. What’s tomorrow? Saturday the 6th. May 6th… What was I doing May 6th of last year?
Yeah… I need a beer.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind 0

2:02am
Oops, almost typed “cu/\/t” instead of “kind”. 8]
Did you know that I never swore/cursed this much before shit started between Meow and I? Ah, I have to try to revert back. Hmm… Maybe not revert back, but change the ‘bad’ stuff. Did you know, even when Jessica was super pissed [...]

Going Home 2

11:23pm

Unstable Mountain 0

1:19am
["Time Is The Healer (Armin Van Buuren Remix)" - Riva]
Another day passes, and another day starts. ‘Time’ is moving so fast. Yet not at the same time. Almost like an oxymoron eh?
I’ve been meaning to enter a new entry for the last couple of days, but things got way out of hand [...]

A Whiter Shade Of Pale 0

2:40am
(Listening “Free” by Sarah Brightman)
This weekend was extra extra slow for some reason. The two weeks before that was zooming fast. Then it abruptly slowed down to a near-standstill. The hours drifted by as if the hourglass of life floated into zero gravity space, and the sands of ‘time’ hovered and bounced [...]

Before I Go To Bed 4

2:46am
(Listening to a song by Andy Lau – still don’t know the name to it damn it)
WinRar finally finished compressing and splitting Cindy’s massive 2.2 gig folder up into five 420 meg files. Well, I mean it finished about 1.5 hours ago.
I was just updating my web site – NexusColony.com – finally closed the [...]

Black & Red 0

1:57am
(Playing “Beyond Raging Waves (With Shinichi Kinoshita)” by DJ Krush)
I like this one particular piece from DJ Krush. I don’t want to explain why though. Let’s just say, it reminds me of my duties now with help from the past.
As you can see, I changed a few things. If you go to [...]
