wow. this is weird. i'm writing a blog. why? cause i got bored. and this hard drive is really pissing me off. i also figure that summer is going to atrophy my brain so i figure i might as well slow its decay by writing random bullshit. i hope to avoid the pratfalls of other blogs by not writing about the following:

1) being really depressed
2) looking for a significant other
3) i don't know about number 3, i just like things in threes. oh well.

i'll probably end up writing about those but not in huge "geez, would he just stop talking about that stuff already?" quantities.

location: home. which is riverside. 60 miles east of LA. full of smog and suburbia. it's quite quiet right now as usual. when most people think of riverside, they laugh.

i went to dinner with a whole lot of relatives today on my mom's side to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday. the BIG 9-0. that's insane...90 years old. and she's in pretty good shape too actually--she can still walk (with a cane though, but yoda uses a cane and he's well, the SHIT). as i was looking around the dinner table, i was thinking how each of these people have a significant chunk of my grandma's DNA in them (except for my dad, that would make no sense) and it amazed me that she's alive to see all these generations of her family. there was also a wedding reception going on too. the people had rented out pretty much the entire restaurant ($300 a table and there were like 20-30 tables) and they had people doing karaoke of Chinese and English songs. most notably the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" and that one Shaggy song. i'm not good with pop music. oh well. go grandma!
