still monday..
ya kno, sometimes i have a hard time rememberin who i was in college. or in high school--how i got thru those yrs, why i engaged in the things i did back then, etc. its weird cuz i feel so far removed mentally from those periods of my life, i simply cannot truly remember how i lived my life back then..
i mean, of course, i have memories of the events and the happenings--how i acted, wut took place: the history. but its like i dont remember who i was and believe it really was me in those memories. yeah, i know--sounds weird..
i think a lot of it has to do w/ the feelin now that i was so immature back then. granted, i still have a lot of growin up to do, but back then i know i was naive and stoopid--not havin formed a solid view of the world, not understandin how life really worked. not that i know these things now..
anyways..
- im obviously excited about the new zelda game comin out in a month cuz im enjoyin the pre-order game immensely. but didja know that the guy who came up w/ zelda (as well as mario and donkey kong)--shigeru miyamoto--got the name 'zelda' from the author of the great gatsby (good book w/ a great ending)? yeah, it was the name of f. scott fitzgeralds wife!! interestin, huh? yeah, i can see the noddin..
- oh wow, this is wild: a dna computer!! incredible..
- i was watchin x-men the movie on fox yester and was amazed at how faithful the story was to the comic book. i guess it wasnt even so much revealed in the actual plot or premise of the film as it was in the fine details. like the interaction between cyclops and wolverine or the sexual tension between wolverine and jean grey..
i used to be an x-men fanatic (is there anythin i was NOT a fanatic of?); in fact, in high school it was far and away my favorite (yes, even over superman and batman). great writin, fantastic artwork, and the overall concept of mutants teamin together to prove their humanity to humanity..

| the 22 pages that started it all.. |
interestingly enough, i picked up my first x-men comic book (uncanny x-men #273) here in baltimore. between 7th and 10th grades, i would make the one-hr commute from nova to spend every saturday at peabody for an entire days worth of music classes. fun times back then--yeah, right..
- i can count on one hand the number of times ive played pickup since movin to balt. isnt that crazee? i really need and want to play badly--like every other day or so. i actually joined the hopkins hospital gym, but the one time i did go i was the only asian--or non-black--not that it wasnt fun. i just would like to touch the ball more than once a game. course, i do suck but still..
but back to just playin, i think it would help if i actually KNEW someone here who would go to the gym w/ me. maybe i should try and make some friends..
- a few entries back, i asked if which friends you valued more: the ones who you grew up w/ or the ones who surround you now..
as an extension i was wonderin: do you think youd be friends (or as good friends) today w/ those who you grew up w/? would you get as well along w/ your ole pals and buddies from back then?
man, wutdya think of espns new look? i dont think im really big on that 'espn motion' crap..

yeah, i was actually surprised by how good x-men the movie was. i just hope they don't screw up hulk, my favorite super hero EVER!!!!
i haven't played ball ONCE here in ny. all these black 7th graders who dunk rule the playground, make me look like a 3rd grader...
it's kind of hard to answer your question since my best friend has been julia in ny, but i think i'll go w/ the ones i grew up w/
