Ex-Cons and Family

Well, my oldest brother, Kenneth, is coming home today. I haven't seen him in 5 years, as he was being held in a state correctional facility. Like an idiot, he decided to let his "friends" talk him into being an accessory in the armed robbery of a convenience store. Last time we all saw him, I was a high school sophomore. Now... I'm a college sophomore. Now the family is gathering for his return home this afternoon. Here's to a new beginning. Much love

It Stinks!

I bought the complete series The Critic on DVD. Man, I miss this show. It used to come on back when I was in elementary school. Now that I'm older (see also: ancient), I finally get some of the verbal jokes. I also understand why the main character, Jay Sherman, hated so many movies. They all suck! I also bought Kanye West's CD, "College Dropout." In terms of actual flow, Kanye is mediocre-- decent at best. However, creatively, he's gold. His CD covers typical topics of living in the streets, but also covers his experience in college and why he dropped out. It starts off funny enough. The intro has a Bernie Mac impersonator ask Kanye to do a nice song "for the kids," "something they can sing along to." Kanye says he has the perfect song, which immediately leads to little kids singing the words "Drug-dealing just to get by / Stack your money 'til it piles sky-high." "Spaceship" is a song I'm sure most teenagers can relate to-- it's about working at the mall and not getting paid anything. There's also a skit called "Workout Plan" about 3 girls picking up Kanye's new workout tape, which leads to the song titled "The New Workout Plan" where Kanye instructs girls on how to get in shape so they can bag a rapper or NBA player "or at least somebody with a car." The CD has its profound moments, too. Such as his new single "All Fall Down" or the track featuring Jay-Z "Never Let Me Down." The song "Family Business" is more real than almost any rapper can get, because you don't have to be a thug at a family reunion. Downside? Too many damn skits. There's this annoying college graduate who talks about how many degrees he has and how he's still working at the mall. I get that's it's intended to point out the irony of people who go to college without finding an actual career, but there's 3 skits about this crap. Moving right along... Yeah, that's a Jackson 5 song I embedded in this page. MJ used to SANG back when he was younger. Don't ask me what happened... New job opportunities just coming from every angle! Remember those other survey-people from Milpitas? Read my previous entry. Yeah, those people. Well, Venette and I talked to one of them (who turns out to be the manager) and she says she can hook us up with jobs at Great Mall doing the same thing we do now (taking surveys), only we'd get paid $2/hour more, plus commission! Later, we found out our competition, TMI (on the other side of the mall) pay $1/hour more than Cunningham (my employers), and you don't even do any walking. I also got a business card from a man in financial services (asked him to take a survey, he gave me his card). He said he needs people-persons like me (me... people-person... right...) at his business, and he'd train me and the pay is higher. Question is, which job do I go for after I abandon my current one? Don't you like how I can ramble on and on in my entries, making them longer than need-be? Like this... I took my Music Appreciation mid-term. You'd think it'd be easy to tell the difference between Renaissance, Romantic, Classical, and Baroque music. I took wild guesses like you wouldn't believe... And for the record, my wallet died first. Much Love

Late Nite Update

I've added a background sound file to my journal. I know some people hate it when a foreign sound abruptly blasts through their speakers, so it's embedded on the top of the page with a mini-control panel. It's defaulted as being turned off, and I wrote the name of the song so you can decide whether or not you want to hear it. It's in wma format, and the quality is fairly low. Actually, I only lowered the audio quality to Radio Broadcast levels, so it should still sound pretty good. (insert Audio lecture here on the difference between Production Qualities, Playback Qualities, and Broadcast Qualities... darn Radio Studio Techniques class...) Still, it did manage to reach a file size of exactly 1MB. Beware, fellow dial-up users. I ran into the Taing Twins at work at the mall the other day... Me: Excuse me, ladies who I do not know and have never met... Jenny or Linda (don't ask me which one): Hey, aren't you Kevin Webb? I asked them to take a survey, but it turns out one of them (don't ask me which one... I lost track of which twin was which somewhere around 8th grade) works for TMI Research... the competing research center at the other side of the mall. Speaking of competition, some ya-hoo survey-people from The Great Mall came by to do some off-site field work at Newpark. Two of them dared work in my territory. They must not have heard Kevin Webb is the best on the west side. I take surveys in this mall. This is my house. I'm the only one who can annoy random passers-by and ask them to participate is market research. That's when I went crazy and started surveying people like crazy! Blow! You got surveyed! This ain't no game! Bark! Bark! Wutang! Actually, I was 30 minutes away from quitting time and I just started day-dreaming for the next half-hour. Wanna hear something funny? I joined a gym. Okay, it's not that funny. Really, you can stop laughing. I figured... if I were actually paying my hard-earned money on a gym membership, I'd have no choice but to use it. No way in hell I'm wasting that much money! I'll lose weight, even if it kills my wallet... or me. Whichever gives out first. Who wants to start a pool, guessing which will die first? Much Love.

Mid-Marchness.

First, let's all thank hip-hop music producer Kanye West for ending the Chipmunks' long run of unemployment. It's great to hear Alvin and his bros back in the studio, singing in their helium-like voices. Interesting weekend at work. I got office duty instead of field work. I wish they would've told me ahead of time, so I could've brought my CD player while filling out the paperwork. The corporate office flooded us with an unnatural amount of movies, though. We had to show previews of 5 movies this weekend, giving us a quota upwards of 200 people. Keep in mind that my job involves asking random mall-goers if they want to take a survey. We're lucky to get 50 people in one weekend, let alone 200. I guess we're getting rushed with previews of upcoming summer movies. Ok, time to spend money. I have to wash my car, get a haircut, buy a new textbook for my Web Design class (lost the book the first time), and pay my internet bill. Oy! Much Love

Return To Friendly Rant Mode

First of all, I want to apologize for my outburst. Things were said that I didn't-- on second thought, I did mean them. I don't take them back. I will apologize for other people reading it, though. My language was inappropriate ect. ect. Now let's get back to my normal, random bullcrap. I don't want to say some teenagers in the mall are "posers," but I will say that I'm tired of seeing 13 year old girls dressed in red/black leather (sorry, pleather) who walk around saying "I'm unique! I shop at Hot Topic!" Meanwhile, normal punks are wearing self-altered clothing they bought for cheap at TJ Max. You just spent $30 on a designer shirt that's supposed to be punk. What's so punk about that? Exactly. Come tomorrow, I'm thinking of taking on a different dogma. Namely, I'm going to buy the DVD of Kevin Smith's movie Dogma. For a comedy, that movie is surprisingly deep. You don't need drugs to enjoy a Kevin Smith movie... just to enhance the experience. Aw, but I joke. Don't do drugs, kids. They cost too much. I've decided to (dramatic pause) get a haircut. It's obvious I can never be allowed to have long hair. Everytime I try to grow my hair out, I get forced to cut it. Recently, I haven't gotten a haircut since August 2003. Then a few weeks ago, my mother's boyfriend was only going to straighten my hairline. He butchered my hair. Since then, I've been experimenting with different hair styles to cover it up. No luck. Thank goodness for my hat collection. So I've just decided to get it all cut off, go bald for the 1,000,000th time in my life, and just except that I can never let my hair grow out. Much Love

The End of a "Friendship"

Kiss my natural black ass, Mike De Jesus, you dumbass son of a bitch. Apparently your racist mom never taught you any home training, you annoying shitwad. I don't know where in your twisted, fucked-up little mind you thought I'd just sit by and not care about you intentionally making me mad on a daily basis. You were a loser in 7th grade, and you're a loser now. You wonder why you think nobody likes you? Maybe it's because you go out of your way to piss people off. Did that ever occur to you? You made it your life's duty to annoy me every time you got the chance. On purpose. On fucking purpose. You refuse to invite me to your birthday party because I'm black, then turn around and ask me what I think your next birthday party should be. Don't talk to me in languages you know I can't understand. I'm not Filipino, and I don't speak Tagalog. You know I don't speak Tagalog. I told you to stop speaking to me in Tagalog. You know that it's rude to speak to people in languages they don't understand, but I honestly don't think you care. For those of you who don't know, xanga user TuronEatingPinoy is a racist, annoying bastard. He purposely annoyed and pissed me off during his duration as my friend. He knew I didn't like to be pissed off. Who the hell likes to be pissed off? I asked him to stop pushing my buttons, and he refused-- saying I'd have to get used to it. I'm not saying he's racist, but he is. I'm the person he does this to the most, I'm the only friend he never invited to his house back in high school, and I'm the only black person he knows. See you in Hell. Much Love.

99 Things Girls Must Know About Guys

The following list was taken from a friend's online journal, who stole it from someone else's journal, ect. The original topic is in black. My commentary is in green. 1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls. See Also: The difference between Christina Aguilera and Mandy Moore. 2. Guys hate flirts. 3. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards. Unless you're unforgettable. 4. When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is. 5. "Are you doing something?" or "Have you eaten already?" are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering. Y-y-ye-yep. 6. Guys maybe flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about. 7. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics. 8. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile. 9. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention. Look what I can do! 10. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend. No no! Constantly compare me to someone else! Please! Sarcasm! 11. When guys want to meet your parents. Let them. 12. Guys want to tell you many things but they can't. And they sure have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and it is drinking! Why ish it alwaysh shecrets and liesh? Shecrets and liesh! 13. Guys cry!!! Okay, who told? 14. Don't provoke the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will. 15. Guys can never dream and hope too much. 16. Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat. 17. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back. 18. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never mind!" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. Do you love me? Do you want me? Are you gonna call like you said you were? Is this really your real phone number? 19. Guys go crazy when girls touch their hands. I do believe I have the vapors 20. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like. 21. When a guy makes a prolonged "umm" or makes any excuses when you're asking him to do you a favor, he's actually saying that he doesn't like you and he can't lay down the card for you. No, I'm just overly cynical 22. When a girl says "no", a guy hears it as "try again tomorrow". 23. You have to tell a guy what you really want before he gets the message clearly. We tend to take things at face value, we men 24. Guys hate gays! If this were true, I'd be unemployed. My boss is gay. 25. Guys love their moms. Cue "A Song For Momma" by Boys II Men 26. A guy would sacrifice his money for lunch just to get you a couple of roses. 27. A guy often thinks about the girl who likes him. But this doesn't mean that the guy likes her. 28. You can never understand him unless you listen to him. 29. If a guy tells you he loves you once in a lifetime. He does. You honestly don't even have to ask. Ever. 30. Beware. Guys can make gossips scatter through half of the face of the earth faster than girls can. 31. Like Eve, girls are guys’ weaknesses. 32. Guys are very open about themselves. 33. It's good to test a guy first before you believe him. But don't let him wait that long. 34. No guy is bad when he is courting. 35. Guys hate it when their clothes get dirty. Even a small dot. 36. Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that much pretty. 37. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend. 38. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice. 39. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you. 40. A guy finds ways to keep you off from linking with someone else. 41. Guys love girls with brains more than girls in miniskirts. 42. Guys try to find the stuffed toy a girl wants but would unluckily get the wrong one. 43. Guys virtually brag about anything. If you could only see me brag... 44. Guys cannot keep secrets that girls tell them. 45. Guys think too much. 46. Guys' fantasies are unlimited. 47. Girls' height doesn't really matter to a guy but her weight does! No skinny bitches! 48. Guys tend to get serious with their relationship and become too possessive. So watch out girls!!! I will not be ignored 49. When a girl makes the boy suffer during courtship, it would be hard for him to let go of that girl. 50. It's not easy for a guy to let go of his girlfriend after they broke up especially when they've been together for 3 years or more. 51. You have to tell a guy what you really want before getting involved with that guy. 52. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be matured and grow up. 53. When an unlikable circumstance comes, guys blame themselves a lot more than girls do. They could even hurt themselves physically. It's all my fault! All my fault! 54. Guys have strong passion to change but have weak will power. 55. Guys are tigers in their peer groups but become tamed pussycats with their girlfriends. Meow 56. When a guy pretends to be calm, check if he's sweating. You'll probably see that he is nervous. 57. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl. He really is. 58. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me". 59. Guys don't really have final decisions. 60. When a guy loves you, bring out the best in him. 61. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. 62. If a guy has been kept shut or silent, say something. 63. Guys believe that there's no such thing as love at first sight, but court the girls anyway and then realize at the end that he is wrong. 64. Guys like femininity not feebleness. I want a lady, not a Barbie 65. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do. Especially if they keep hitting us in the arm 66. A guy may instantly know if the girl likes him but can never be sure unless the girl tells him. 67. A guy would waste his time over video games and football, the way a girl would do over her romance novels and make-ups. 68. Guys love girls who can cook or bake. 69. Guys like girls who are like their moms. No kidding! 70. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes. 71. A guy's friend knows everything about him. Use this to your advantage. Don't ask my neighbors. Come to me 72. Don't be a snob. Guys may easily give up on the first sign of rejection. 73. Don't be biased. Try loving a guy without prejudice and you'll be surprised. 74. Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than attracting guys. Although I appreciate my sinuses being cleared 75. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls. 76. Guys don't comprehend the statement "Get lost" too well. 77. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions but still love them more. 78. When a guy gives a crooked or pretentious grin at your jokes, he finds them offending and he just tried to be polite. 79. Guys don't care about how shiny their shoes are unlike girls. 80. Guys tend to generalize about girls but once they get to know them, they'll realize they're wrong. 81. Any guy can handle his problems all by his own. He's just too stubborn to deal with it. Stubborn... lazy... same difference 82. Guys find it so objectionable when a girl swears. Let's keep it PG13, people 83. Guys' weakest point is at the knee. How'd you know that was my spot? 84. When a problem arises, a guy usually keeps himself cool but is already thinking of a way out. 85. When a guy is conscious of his looks, it shows he is not good at fixing things. 86. When a guy looks at you, either he's amazed by you or he's criticizing you. 87. When you catch him cheating on you and he asks for a second chance, give it to him. But when you catch him again and he asks for another chance, ignore him. Shouldn't that say "IF"? 88. If a guy lets you go, he really loves you. 89. If you have a boyfriend, and your boy best friend always glances at you and it obviously shows that he is jealous whenever you're with your boyfriend, all I can say is your boy best friend loves you more than your boyfriend does. I've been the mugging best friend many a-times. 90. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience. Also those Brat Pack movies from the 1980s 91. You can tell if a guy is really hurt or in pain when he cries in front of you! 92. If a guy suddenly asks you for a date, ask him first why. 93. When a guy says he can't sleep if he doesn't hear your voice even just for one night, hang up. He also tells that to another girl. He only flatters you and sometimes makes fun of you. No to mention it sounds a little obsessive 94. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes. Dear God, don't let me screw this one up, too. 95. Guys seek for advice not from a guy but from a girl. 96. Girls are allowed to touch boys' things. Not their hair. Touch the hair, somebody gets hurt 97. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you. 98. Guys hate girls who overreact. 99. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships. Much Love

Tsk, Don't Be Stupid

Well, my teacher apologized for his less-then-professional behavior. Then, after we took the test, he announced that they weren't going to count toward our final grade. Breakdown: That test didn't count. R-O-L-A-I-D spells "Oh Thank God!" My manager called on Wednesday and told me not to come in for work until Saturday. He then called me at 9:30am this morning and asked me to come in for work. Now. Being as desperate for work hours as I am, I came in. Ah, you gotta love my job. A man in a wheelchair turned a U-ee when he saw me. One guy said he'd be right back to take a survey, and passed by me at least a dozen other times today. One woman said she was in a rush and had to leave... I caught her on the other side of the mall shopping for Spongebob backpacks. Mm hmm. Are these kids trying to get run over? I'm serious. They know I'm driving down the street, but they're still compelled to weave across both sides of the road on skateboards. You are not Tony Hawk, and my street is not a half-pipe. I got my paycheck. Now I can buy Acid 4.0 (the music program) for my computer. I've been wanting to mix my own songs since I took Digital Audio in high school. And now for my selected reading. Has anyone seen the movies Interview With The Vampire or Queen of the Damned? Well, they're based off of a popular book series. The Vampire Lestat takes place between both stories. In fact, the main character (more or less) of both movies was named Lestat. So if you like efeminate vampires joining 1980s rock bands, read this book. Much Love

Little Devil

Ah, the things we bored people do at work. On Sunday, me and my co-worker Venette had grown tired of walking through the mall for 6 hours straight, so we decided to goof around a little. We noticed some people just don't know how to dress when they come to the mall. I'm no fashion mogle, but I don't think normal people go out in public wearing fuzzy, purple animal slippers. Anyway, amongst other stuff we did, we wasted $3 on a photo booth. Enter the photo to the far right. Now, I don't want to say Venette has a big ass, but I was crouched on the floor in these pictures-- hence why I'm so much closer to the camera than she is. That, and-- you know-- I have a big head. In other news, my Radio Studio teacher turned into a huge bitch today. First, he announced that the projector was stolen that he usually hooks up to his laptop to present his Power Point. Chabot's radio studio is not a secure place. He then asked how many of us had already read Chapter 6 in the textbook. 2 people raised their hands. Keep in mind, the teacher hadn't gone over CH6 yet, and our tests and quizzes are based solely off of his lectures and Power Points. So he then proceeded to chew the class out for being adults and not taking the responsibility to read. Then things got bad... One guy in the back of the class asked him a question about the chapter. No problem there. But while the teacher was answering, a girl in the class hadn't heard the question. So naturally, she asked what the question was. Someone else in the class told her-- while the teacher was still answering. That's when the teacher snapped. Apparently, the two people talking interrupted his lecture. That's when he started yelling at us. He told us to leave. Yep. He kicked us out of class. The whole lot of us-- booted. He also announced that we have an in-depth test Thursday on Chapter 6, as opposed to our usual multiple choice quizzes. I was supposed to come in for work today, but they called and said that the only surveys they had were specifically targetted toward the Spanish-speaking market. The surveys themselves were in Spanish, and we could only recruit Spanish-speaking people. So the only person who went to work today was Monica. For those of you who aren't exactly what I do-- I don't take surveys myself. My job is to find random consumers in the San Francisco Marketplace and ask them for their input on certain products and upcoming films. Yeah, I'm that guy who asks you to take a survey in the mall. Much Love
