Yes! It is here. My 21st birthday. Lots to do today. Best part is, I have all weekend off, plus next week off from UPS. Yea vaction.

I will get lots of pictures today. Or I will try to.

Anyone who lives up/near Buffalo, NY, would you be so kind to me as to find out as much information about the phone number of 716-826-0957 for me? It is an unlisted number up there that sells magazines, and I would really like to get their mailing address. Personal reasons... Thanks a bunch.

Thanks K. C. for the image.

I want that cat picture that was on Jay Leno tonight... it was so funny...

Want to know what it was if you didn't see it? Well, a cat was licking its paws. But unlike most cats, this one had all but 1 of its 'fingers' on its paws down. So one 'finger' was up; guess which one :)

Currently, parents are in debate on figuring out if to fly to florida or to drive there this year. My Mother found a cheap flight down to Fort Lauderdale where a round trip for upto 6 people would cost around $760. Which means we could bring a friend along too.

Or what my dad and brother (shanky) like is to drive down, maybe in one car, or in two. Oh well.. my mom doesn't want to drive down, my dad doesn't want to fly down.. no middle ground so far :(

New Movie Review!

Oh crap. An update? What is going on here? And it is a long one too.. I must have crapped my pants or something (actually I didnt, but there is still a small chance of that happening)

Well these weekend kinda sucked. It rained most of the time. Saturday was pretty bad when Terry and I went to Sam's Club. It was pouring down very hard when we went in, when we came out it was sunny (granted, that was like 2 hours later). I got a bunch of crap and that is that. Sunday I slept in. Then reffed a few matches in ss. Then Terry and I went on a bike ride. We headed back behind Tofftrees, and went through some construction area (full of mud). My tires had about two inches of mud on each. When you hit the brakes, they dont work until it flings all the mud out from under and around them. I eventually got stopped. By this time it started to drizzle. So we headed back towards campus to make a loop before we go back to the apartment. We get to Beaver Staduim and the rain gets heavier. This is when we need to really get back to the apartment. The rain gets harder. Terry fell off his bike, he hit the sidewalk strange while he was getting out the way of some girls walking on the sidewalk, they proceed to laugh at his accident along with a bunch of guys from across the street (where I was) playing soccer. Terry should have been on the road like me, not on the sidewalk. So we get back to the apartment without anything significant happening. But we are 100% soaked. Shoes, jeans, shirts, hat, etc.. We both take a shower to clean off all the rain water plus mud that flung up onto us.

Dan gets home later that night, we watch Simpsons etc.. then go to Giant. I get my free stuff along with other random things that sparked my intrest, like ice cream, orange juice, and umm I think that was it; I got my milk the day before at Sam's Club.

Well much later that night Dan needs to extract his wraith he has been holding up inside because Terry and I crossed the line. Dan says something about boxing, and gets the boxing gloves. I try to hold myself back. I really wanted to, but then I didnt want to hurt him or anything. Holes in the wall and etc seem to happen. But we did box. He was all defensive. He got one good hit on me towards the end. But that was after I got alot more hits on him. He gave up when he couldnt take anymore. Then Terry said something about Sumo wreastling earlier. So him and Dan proceed with that. Kinda stupid and pointless, didnt last long. Then they agreed to our real wreastling. (Note this all took place in the wreastling arena we have, none of it made its way down the hallway and into Terry's room like it had before) Terry was tring to be aggressive to ward off Dan and his defensive stratagies. So whenever Terry tried something that didnt work, Dan was able to capitalize. But when Terry got the advantage again, Dan went back to crunching up and not allowing Terry to do anything. Dan dominated the first round. The second round Terry was waiting for Dan to 'move'. Dan did lay off the defensive crap. Terry had a clear advantage this round, and Terry was going to pin Dan sometime soon. Then Dan does some kind of reverse, and Terry gets pinned. Game over. Dan wins. (Terry had the 30 lbs weight advantage) Dan credits his win to Terry moving in what Dan saw was 'slo-motion'.

Then Dan and I square off. Dan has the 30 lbs advantage over me. And I saw what he did with Terry with the crunch up into a ball ideas. So whenever Dan got the advantage on me, like twice, I just sat against the wall. He couldnt do anything to me. So I think he saw what he was doing to Terry and he stopped. Dan said I had the clear advantage the whole time, yet there was no way I could pin him for more than two seconds. I had him on his back a bunch, and the only way I could pin him was to use his weight advantage against him, by picking up his legs and transferring the weight to his shoulders while I tried to hold them down will my weight. We got into the corner, near where the hole in the wall is. I will comment about that later. But the match soon ended. No one was pinned, but I was awarded the wreastling statue because Dan said I should have beaten him if I was more fair with the weight. I then commented afterwards about his comment about Terry moving in 'slo-mo' telling him that he seemed to move in 'slo-mo' against me.

Work sucked last night. It was very hot and humid. I wore long pants to my mistake of it cooling down later that night. Maybe more about that later.

Today we got some kind of audit at work today. Afterwards a few guys and I are going out to play basketball. I should post something after that tonight. Will comment on work and finish up the wreastling story.

I am out of here. Ohh.. I rode my bike into class today. Plus first day I wore shorts this year. Very nice out. Might go play baseball tomorrow.

Everyone loves my car, and so do I.

Anyway, info here: Fancy CNN Comet Info Page about coment Ikeya-Zhang

Go look at my new background I made.

It is 1600x1200

Prepare to faint with the amount of bullshit I just wrote

I was at work at 5pm wednesday for a safety meeting. We got that done and finished up the sort rather quickly. Got all the package cars washed, and cleared the floor of excess water. The night before, a few of us we about ready to go out after work to play some basketball. But it was kinda late, and we screwed it over talking out in the parking lot for about 10 to 15 minutes. So we agreed to go out the following night (wednesday night). So last night being wednesday night, we went out to play basketball. It helped that we got out of work early. I called up Dan and Terry and invited them to come play too. Well three guys from work and I ended up playing way to many games with a bunch of other guys. Terry and Dan were to sub in, but they wondered off somewhere, and then I guess went hope. When I got back home, they said they stayed for about 45minutes. I was there from 9pm until 10:45.

First set of games we played were 5on5 full court. I ended up being the small forward. It was the three guys from work, Mark (tall, can dunk it), John (pretty big guy, same height as me), Chris Morris (pretty good, hot and cold streaks shotting), me, and some other random guy (he was another hot/cold shooter, drained a bunch of three's in later games). So our team whipped up on the first bunch of guys we played. They didnt have anyone that could play with Mark, he would just get in down low and drop the ball off, and would get nearly ever rebound. So the next game, half the other team left, and two other guys showed up, so we just combined those two groups.

Of the two new guys, one was Mark's height, so Mark wasnt able to dominate the boards so easily, he had to fight his way inside now. Well this new guy took out my cuts into the lane now, since he could block my shots, and any rebounds I got inside, I had to kick out because he was nearly a six inchs taller than me. No biggy, that is when Chris and the other guy got hot from outside. I would get the ball down low if their center was still running the court. John had some good moves inside also, but Mark was pretty quiet this whole game, which wasnt good since it was to 21 and we were down 11-6. But that was before all our three's (two pointers). We ended up winning 21-18. We played another with the same teams, went pretty close to start, then we pulled away quickly.

Those orginal guys left. And it was down to the two newcomers and our group (our random guy left also). So the six of us played a few games of 3on3 half court. These went better than expected. The two tall guys were on opposite teams, the four of us switched teams after every game. I was able to do alot better in this situation, since I didnt really have to worry about them playing zone defence like it was in 5on5. So I could beat my man and have an easy layup or jump shot.

Without the inside defender most of the time, passing lanes were open up, and I felt as if I was playing down in Florida with my dad. After a bunch of games (we kept saying one more, one more, but that started in the 5on5 games) we finally called it quits.

Both Chris and John (smokers) were pretty beat. Mark wasnt to bad, either was I. I figured I would really feel it in the morning.

When I got home, I asked where Terry and Dan were, they said home. I felt kinda bad for inviting them, they show up, and they didnt get to play. All the gyms were full too. So they could just shot around. I guess they just wondered around the building (volleyball games in some of the middle rooms, and basketball games on the two end rooms (4 full courts each, all full).

Anyway. I got back home, and took a shower. I was pretty much soaked. Stupid me for wearing jeans to play basketball. After the shower, I was full of energy, I ended up cleaning my room pretty good. Putting everything away and vacuumed my room. Then took a bunch of pictures, will end up posting them on some part of this page. That way I can show the world my clean room, instead of what it has been for the past three weeks, one big mess, the worst it has been since I moved up here.

I read a chapter in the Lord of the Rings book (got book one finished now, will start on book to tonight). In the morning, I woke up refreshed. I was up moving around right after my alarm went off. No rolling around wishing I had more time to sleep. I wasnt or havnt been tired at all today. I figured I would be for all the running around I did last night.

That is my rant. Feels good to actually write something again, rather than papers for school. Nice to get back into the Lord of the Rings book, although it will only last a week or to until the next round of stuff is due again, then finals. Argh...
