Who Has Time for Fun?
I can't believe how much stuff I have to do. I can't imagine how busy we'll be if we have kids. Now that I've started taking the bus, I have to wake up earlier. Every weekday, I get up at 5:15 am. I get to the bus stop at 5:45. Take the 5:50 bus to downtown LA. I arrive at work at 6:40. After work, I get home around 7:00 and 7:15. We cook dinner, wash dishes, and make lunch for the next day. After paying bills and other paperwork, it's time to go to bed.
On weekends, I always have to do the following weekly errands:
1. Wash the car
2. Do the laundry
3. Iron shirts
4. Clean house
5. Clean the bathroom
6. Clean the oven and stove
7. Clean the dishrack
8. Buy water
9. Vacuum
10. Organize paperwork.
These are just my weekly errands. I've got a lot of other different stuff to take care of during the week. I have very little time to study. I don't have time to blog--even though I do it. Who has time to have fun?
Having to do deal with all the things I have to do on top of all the bad things going on in my life right now puts me in a terrible mood. I'm totally stressed out every day. I'm going to be in this awful state of mood until it's all over. It looks like it's going to be awhile before it's over. This is going to be a tough year because of the serious situations I'm going through right now. I thought 2006 was going to be a good year. It turns out I'm wrong.

The bus isn't crowded when I get on early in the morning, but it gets really packed by the time I get to work inside the Wells Fargo building in downtown LA. I like being able to play my videogames, but I've started getting car sick. Plus, it stinks like urine in there. At least when I ride the bus, I can play my videogames during my commute. I want to start biking to work again so that I can get my exercise and commute done at the same time. Plus, biking is faster since I can cut through traffic, which I love doing. I was averaging 10 miles in 30 minutes on my bike on my way to downtown LA.

Weekend in Review
Health Problems
Lately, I've been having poo problems on top of the pee problems I've been having. I've been having to go to the bathroom a lot recently. I can't even get enough sleep because I keep waking up in the middle of the night to go pee. Now, I think I have IBS problems too. Crap! It's really uncomfortable and embarrassing. Life is miserable. This is only the beginning of my problems though. I've still got much bigger worries right now that are weighing me down a lot. So, I'm still in a terrible mood these days. My health problems are nothing compared to the serious problems I've been facing recently. Maybe, my health problems are a result of the stress I'm going through right now.
Anyway, I went to see another doctor to get treatment for my health problems. I tried to give him my fecal sample. Unfortunately, at that time, I only had a small amount come out. It looked like rabbit droppings. The doctor said that that was not enough. Now, I have to go back there and drop off a bigger piece of my poo.
I've been really tired lately since I haven't been able to sleep much. My mind is so groggy. I have no energy these days. I feel like crap and I'm really irritable too. Don't get on my bad side. I'm starting to get more and more pissed off lately.
Wisdom Teeth Problems
I also went to the dentist to pull out all four of my wisdom teeth, but he said he couldn't do it. It was too complicated because it was extremely impacted. I have to go to an oral surgeon who specializes in this stuff, because he has to cut through the boneline of my gums. It's not going to be pleasant. It'll probably cost me over $2000. All my money is going down the drain because of all the problems I have. Nothing is going right lately. Even my body is falling apart.
My Dad's Back Surgery
I also visited my parents' place. My dad had back surgery a couple months ago. I think he's doing better now. Before, he was in a lot of pain and was taking a lot of medication. He never went out anywhere. I brought over some nice strawberries from the korean market, Hannam Chain. They had delicious sweet giant strawberries. One box for $10. Those were the best tasting and biggest strawberries I've ever had. Are scientists genetically enhancing strawberries now too? Anyway, I hope my poor dad continues to get better.
Simba and Aslan
For Valentine's Day weekend, I bought Sarah a white tiger and a lion. Ever since our trip to Las Vegas last Valentine's Day, she's been wanting a white tiger that she saw at the Mirage. We named them Simba and Aslan. I plan on posting up pictures of them soon. They're the new addition to our family. We pretend that they're our kids.
Taking the Bus Again
I've also started taking the bus again, because I've had it with traffic lately. I looked on abc7.com and saw that the 60 and the 10 freeways were packed. So, I decided to take the local roads. Unfortunately, several of the stoplights in downtown LA were out. It took forever to get home. Since I love to multi-task, I thought I could get some videogame time done on my bus ride home. I'm using Sarah's other HP iPaq Pocket PC. I downloaded some games and have been playing them on the bus. I thought this would be good, except I'm still getting motion sickness. I plan on biking to work again soon. I don't want to bash on people who take the bus, but I will today. The bus is always so crowded and it smells really bad like urine. A lot of people on the bus smell and don't look so clean. Today, the bus driver got mad, because a bunch of guys just snuck on the bus without paying. Then, this huge fat stinky guy sat next to me and made a lot of disgusting noises with his mouth. He was so big, he could have taken up 2 bus seats. It's pretty tough playing videogames as it is, but now I have to deal with motion sickness on the bus, nasty smells, and gross people. I can't read a book on the bus at all. Biking sounds a lot better these days. I love driving, but I can't stand traffic, especially when cars cut up in front when I've been waiting 15 to 20 minutes in the lane you're supposed to be in. Dang cutters! They wouldn't do this in person, but somehow they feel it's okay to do it when you're in a car.
Maybe, I might do videogame reviews of my Pocket PC games. The bus ride takes longer than driving, but I feel that I'm getting some things done instead of just sitting there in traffic. One day, I promise to get a motorcycle so that I can cut through traffic.

My mood is still:
Stealth
2001: A Space Odyssey meets Top Gun. The result is as dumb as it sounds.
If you like jets and explosions, then this might be okay. Otherwise, Stealth is better off going unnoticed on your movie watching radar. I liked Top Gun a lot better. Well, Top Gun is pretty much the best jet fighter movie ever made. Top Gun has better action and dogfighting, even better drama and acting.
The dogfighting sequences are fast in this film, but it doesn't look real due to its heavy use of computer generated graphics. It's like watching a videogame clip of Ace Combat 3. Actually, that is an insult to this great video game series. Ace Combat is a must play game if you love jet fighters.
Anyway, back to the movie. This film is geared towards ADHD teens who love videogames. The lines in this movie are really lame. For instance:
"Do you know what I think?"
"Think? Don't think."
Totally lame. Come on! Obviously, that was the writers' philosophy as well. Do action movies have to have bad acting and bad scripts? There's no real that says it has to be this way. When are they going to make a good movie with lots of action that movie goers crave?
That experimental plane, EDI (Extreme Deep Invader)-sounds like HAL from 2001. He acts like a rebellious teenager. He listens to loud heavy metal crap. I don't know what song it is, but he listens to the same damn song over and over again in the movie. One of the techs said that EDI downloaded every song on the internet. Why the hell did he have to listen to that song over and over? You mean to tell me that out of all the millions of songs on the internet, he chooses that crappy song to listen to. Stupid! I hate teenagers, especially teenage robot planes.
One of Jamie Foxx's retarded lines is: "Extreme Deep Invader? That's what they call me."
Lamers!
Jessica Biel falls behind enemy lines when her plane crashes over North Korea. She tries to run to South Korea. I wish those North Koreans will get their act together and stop being crazy. They're an embarrassment to all Koreans. This is especially true since so many Americans don't know the difference between North and South Korea. I don't want North Koreans to give all Koreans a bad name. Hopefully, one day, the two Koreas will be reunited once again. Then, Korea will be a superpower. Anyway, Korea would never had to be split into two if it wasn't for President Truman. General Douglas MacArthur wanted to completely kick out the communists who were invading Korea from the North. MacArthur was succeeding, but Truman feared MacArthur's growing popularity. Truman fired MacArthur for supposedly insubordinating. The truth is Truman was jealous of MacArthur. Korea might still be one country today, if MacArthur continued to fight off the commies. Now, North Korea is controlled by an insane dictator. Families have been split apart for half a century due to this. Damn it!
Sorry for going off on a tangent. Basically, the movie sucked.
Pros: Pretty planes. Fast dogfighting action.
Cons: Unrealistic jet action due to too much CGI. Bad acting. Bad story. Bad script. Annoying adolescent plane that talks like HAL and listens to one crappy song the whole movie.
My rating: D, 64.
