Well it is late night and i am typing this post at Jack's house. And i would thank him about making the archive link work but because he is being a true jackass i will not. And i will not claim i am a jackass either. But knowing jack once i leave he will go back onto blog and add a new post to my blog. But then again he is truly lazy, lazier than the laziest person out there. I will continue this later at my own discretion. See you when i see you.

Well Jack pointed out to me that i haven't updated since Monday, so here i am to play catch up. Lets begin with Tuesday.
Tuesday:
What did i do this day, work, and Siebel Open. Nothing special at work, co-worker called in sick so that was good, didn't have to deal with whatever crap she might give. Oh yeah met with my group at school to discuss our group presentation. Did a lot during the discussion, got all of our points down. Was a matter of executing them on transparencies. After that, went to Pung's house to pick him up for Siebel. We got at the Compaq, i mean HP pavilion, around 6:45. The match finally started around 7:15 and it was a good match. The result was what i predicted but after seeing the first set of the second match, i appreciated the effort that Chang put in. The first set of the Agassi/Chang match was close but like all games involving top rank players, the break of serve usually comes around 4-4 or 4-3. The second set was less competitive on Chang's part but it had its good moments. Pung and I stayed for the first set of the Phillpusious (SP) and Lisnard game. But we couldn't stay any longer cause we were dying of hunger. So we left and went to the Spaghetti Factory. The food was good once again, this time i tried the Meat Lover treat. I think i will get spaghetti with meat sauce for now on though. After dinner dropped Pung off, and worked on my group project. Didn't get to sleep till 2. And boy would i feel it the next day.
Wednesday:
Not only was I dead tired this day, but it is also is my longest day of the week. How i made it i don't know. Nothing went on at work or school except for my Adv 124 class, Copywriting. When i got to school after work, i met up with my group and we went to the business computer lab to work on our presentation. I put our presenation on PowerPoint so we could see how the end product would look like. My group members were impressed with my low level knowledge of PowerPoint. I must admit that felt good, but little did they know i know shit about PowerPoint. But to them they thought i was some PowerPoint king. Oh yeah Jack my group members would like to thank you for the logo you made us. Thanks man. So we got the PowerPoint done and went to make transparencies. After that we split up till class started.
Well class finally started and we presented third. But prior to our presentation, was the agency that got the idea, convertibles, i gave to the teacher when he was asking the class for different products we as a class would like to write copy for. So you know, in this group is the chick that annoys the shit out of me. So once they were done i gave that bitch a new asshole as i said i would. Their idea was the dumbest thing i ever heard of. Stupid ass "info-trak" computer. Dumb ass computer that basically does features already found in other cars way below their MSRP. Their car was this damn car that was priced at 100k because of this new high tech "info-trak" computer. That basically tells you anything you need to know about the car. When coolents are low, low tire pressure, when you need an oil change, and calender. Just listening to their presentation i was thinking i see nothing special about this car. So when they were done i asked them how they were going to market this car. The reason i asked this question is because they made up a brand new company. So i mentioned how would you market this car, that no one has heard of. Especially since it cost 100k, if one is to spend such amount they would want to be seen in a car that everyone would know. The dumb chicks responds well you are paying for the computer and starts talking about how the computer has this calender option. Dumb whore, that didn't answer my question. And so i asked a follow up question, about the whole calender feature on this computer, since they talked about it so much during their presentation. I asked if they could tell me why/how is this calender so important, cause thinking about it i rather just buy a high class mercedes or bmw and just buy myself a PDA. Would save me so much more money and i would drive in a car that people would recognized. Let's just say stupid whore once again gave me the run around. Blah blah blah. Hope that bitch knows how it feels to nick-pick someone's presentation. So you guys know who read this, i was not the only one asking hard ass questions. One guy also asked about the importance of the computer cause he said my car also has a computer that tells me when i need to change oil and junk. I don't see why it would cost so much. So after interrogating questions, the group finally got to leave and it was my group up next.
So my group kicks ass during the presentation. Of course you are probably think, of course you think that you are in the group but really we did. I was quite amazed at my classmates. For people i labeled assholes last class, some of them actually backed us up when people asked up questions. Most questions were about why we chose some of the criteria for our target audience. One quesetion was why we chose 18-24 year old, cause there are a lot of young kids that snowboard as well. Well we answered that last class meeting the teacher talked about chosing only one age range, and use an age range that most surveys divide age range by. When we gave this answer the teacher even backed us up, and said sorry for confusing everyone when he was addressing this issue about age range. So we explained that 18-24 seemed best cause they were the ones with the free time to go during the weekends and that the younger crowd, the only way for them to buy the board would be through their parents. After the age thing, the teacher wanted to know why we chose caucasian as our target ethnicity. We explained that caucasians is the ethnicity that you see most when you go snowboarding. Then this one girl said, well when i go snowboarding i see a lot of asians, and asked aren't we missing that factor. So i explained you are thinking of primary CA, and that she didn't count that CO is the major ski area in the US and majority of boarders there are white. And that we are targeting the whole US not just CA. I finally mentioned that the target audience we mention is not just fixed on people who fit the given brackets. It is not like we are going to say "Hey you are a 27 asian, you cannot buy our boards. You don't fit our demographic. Go away!" The teacher said our presenation was clean, and smooth. That was a funny pun cause the boards we were advertising for were called "Smooth Snowboards." We made up that company so don't be thinking they are real. The only problem the teacher mention was that during my part i was switching the transparencies too fast. But he said overall it was very good. Hell Yeah. The group after ours was a good group too. I love the name they made up for their product. They had eye makeup and so they chose to do mascara. And the thing about this mascara was that it volumized your eyelashes. So they gave the name "Dramat-eyes" to their product. When they were done, i couldn't resist but tell them how much i loved their name. I was just blown away by that piece of creativity. PURE GENIUS.
Nothing much happened after that, had another class that i left after the break. When i got home i watched my taped american idol, but after i had gotten 5 mins into it Kim calls and she said she wanted to watch. So she came over and we watched it. After that nothing happen so went to bed to catch up on some much needed sleep.
Thursday (Today):
Well got up, played some GBA, went to work, left work, picked up Pung, went to Fry's, got home, watched TV, had a bowl of home made Pho, now about to go read a chapter. See you when i see you.

Well today is what i would classify as an annoying one at that. Well actually two things got on my nerves today. Some good did happen today though but let me start off with the annoying part. The first annoying event took place while walking down from the 4th floor of the 10th street garage at SJSU. When i hit the second floor guess what i saw. Two fat chicks waiting for the elevator, to get down ONE FREAKING FLOOR! My gosh that is why you are fat you stupid cows, walk a bit shiet. Usually i don't mind if they, they being fat people, are using those strolling luggage things. But no, all they had were purses on them. FUCKING ANNOYING. Can't stand lazy ass fat people. Like shiet you dare complain how people look at your wierd or whisper behind your back, that is why people do that shit to you, cause you deserve it. DUMB FAT COWS.
Annoying event number two. There is this dumb ass white chick in my ADV 124. Copywriting, class. Fuck she is annoying, the whole class gets annoyed by her. I swear everytime she opens her mouth i can feel the whole class roll their eyes. That is how annoying she is. To give an example of this dumb bitch, during presentation today, the group presenting had a clever idea of using the phrase "In-wear sunglasses". And within their print ad they would use the "in-" when ever possible. The teacher was pointing out to them that they should have made that more apparent in their ad cause he didn't detect it at first. He thought that they messed up at the beginning and was thinking that the dash would be after "inter" in the word inter-changable. Like that. But this dumb fat whore has to make the comment "You shouldn't even have a dash, interchangable is one word. Like who gives a shiet dumbass, that is not even the point the teacher was trying to make. On Wednesday, i am going to tear that bitch a new asshole when she presents. Dumb bitch, i am so glad i am not stuck in her group. I heard how she was talking to her group today, so freaking demanding. My gosh i wish i could bitch slap that bitch.
Phew that was good venting. As for the good stuff, i found someone to go to the Siebel Open with, Sybase Open for those who don't know what the Siebel Open is. So i got tickets after class. After class, i then went to Kim's store and had dinner. I also went to collect my fee for my services for deleting her store's false alarm. I got shiet from her, doesn't she know how lucrative the false alarm business is. Sheez. Oh well, now i am home and just watching time fly by. See you when i see you.
