Sushi and wasabi


It been a while, i finally realized i am old, well older than a lot of people. The thought came to me last night while i was at a sushi restaurant for a friends birthday. He recently met a bunch of people in north orange county so he has been hanging out with them quite frequently. Mind you they are all in junior college and between the ages of 19 and 21. I had plans that night to go out somewhere else but those plans fell through and i decided that spending 30 bucks at a restaurant that wasn't that good, was somehow better, ughhhh. To get on with the story, i was finished with my food and i decided that playing with it would be much more interesting than talking about what i did in high school, why you ask... well maybe cause it was 9 years ago!

So i decided to take my wasabi and my friends wasabi and make a super wasabi ball. I told the young kid sitting next to me (who had never been to sushi) that my lovely green ball was in fact guacamole. The sad thing was that he partly believed me. I started to say i will give you ten bucks if you swallow this entire ball of wasabi, but i refrained and my other friend sitting on my right decided it would be funny to finish my sentence. The kid on my left picked up the wasabi (ball which could have been the size of a golf ball if you need a size reference i gave you one) and placed it in his mouth, i was laughing so hard and i felt so bad for the guy, but at the same time i was thinking "wow what an idiot", to top things off the kid hadn't eaten anything at the restaurant he just came "to kick it", take up space and steal the establishments water.

Immediately after he inserted the grossly large green ball of flaming hot Japanese spice from hell, he began to gag and since i was sitting right next to the guy i sharply scooted over to my right. I thought the guys head was going to explode as his face turned a color red that i had never seen before. FYI my face has been pretty much every shade of red imaginable. The kid was even offered a glass of milk by the server, cause he felt so bad for him. But then again the server was thinking the exact thing i was thinking "wow what an idiot"

The crappy thing was i had to pitch in 5 bucks cause my friend who initially made the bet didn't have enough cash to pay the guy. It might have been worth my 5 bucks if he had gotten so sick to point of being hauled away to get his stomach pumped but it never happened. After all was said and done we ended up 25 bucks short on the bill, (you all know how fun that is)

Venitng

i was really trying to keep this a constant thing but i really have to think about what i want to write otherwise it just turns out to be rambling, and really who wants to read that... not that sooo many eople read this but i would like for it to be entertaning in some way. Wow i need to get to the point.
I have a Mac and i love it it is probably the one thing i spend the most time with when i am not at work... i just realized how pathetic that sounds, but anyways there are many perks to a Mac, i.e. its fast, it looks cool, people say "wow a mac" when they find out i have one, i have become more legit in the computer world because of my hardware. Moving from a PC was pretty easy, i didnt have much to move but it took me a long time. I guess you could compare it to how long it is taking me to get out of my parents house! I am glad i am writing this blog cause i am comming to the self realization of what a big loser i am.
I wanted to tell you of the set backs there are to owning a mac, and this might expose my technological incompetence because most of you might already know this. Found out that i cant recieve files over google talk which pretty much blows any chance of getting new songs from my friends. i will have to go back to the old fashioned way of itunes and buying them online. Heaven forbid me paying 99 cents for a song... no way! I am sure there are other options of ripping songs from the internet but who wants to go through all that trouble when you can just ask you chat buddy for the file.
Another set back is that i cant get the full benefit of my netflix package... why, cause it wont allow me to watch instant videos on my comp, its only for PC. That 14 hours of movies that i am paying for that i am not getting. A lot of you are saying "wow i dont have 14 extra hours of time to watch movies" i dont either! But it is the princple of the matter, that i am not getting all i can for the measly 14 bucks a month i pay to satisfy my cravings for movies. i almost stopped my membership but i realized i was in the middle of watching the office season 3 and i couldnt just quit it i had stuff in my queue... you know how that is. so i hung my head and was defeated by the website.
Inspite of what i can't do on my mac which is not much, i love it.

Mt. Icy

This is my first time doing this blogging thing and i am gonna have to say i get my inspiration to blog from the Kevin and Bean show in the mornings on KROQ. There is a little jingle that goes along with it but it probably isn't worth repeating. BUT have decided to call it quits on snowboarding in So Cal yes i know it comes as a shock but i just can't do it anymore. SO yesterday i decided to go snowboarding with a buddy of mine at Mt. Baldy... which i found to be very depressing, for those that don't know your geography of so cal it is right east of Upland and Claremont, if you don't know where those cities are... stop reading this blog... or get a map. Snowboarding... (how would i describe it) capital S, Sucks in southern California especially if the last place you went was Utah. I was definitely spoiled out there. I mean how could i have not been spoiled, trying to walk through 4 feet of powder, falling head over board and the only thing you feel is soft soft fluffy white clouds, dodging trees in thick back country not being able to make a snowball cause it is too dry to stick together, enough examples for you ... i would have to say that right there is a little bit of heaven. And then i was thrown back into reality with the sound of boards scraping down the mountain as i was riding up the lift to the top of that icy tundra. Every time i heard a person below me turn it was like nails on a chalk board or utensils on a plate ughhh. It really didn't help when the thought of me paying 49 bucks for the day to snowboard at the tiniest mountain ever created, 49 bucks i couldn't believe the prices we pay to get some snowboarding down here. Their sales pitch is "real close," it IS the closest resort... i take that back... closest hill with snow on it, to all the OC people who cant go to the beach cause its too bloody cold, and are to retarded to learn how to surf... a.k.a me! Boarding in Utah is about the same price and a bazillion times better. I just have to say that the worst day up there (Utah) couldn't compete with the best day down here at any resort. I just need to fix this problem by getting a whad of cash and buy a cabin in Utah.... in twenty years.... when i have that whad of cash.... ok i am done using periods
