| Online dating |
[Apr. 9th, 2009|02:06 pm] |
So I've entered the realm of online dating. I decided to give it a try and after the first 2 weeks, I didn't get many people viewing and I certainly didn't get any responses...
Screw this! I said. What a complete waste! Then a dear friend of mine told me that my profile didn't really give women the oppotunity to know the real.... sexy..... Chris... she was completely right.
I ditched that whole, long sunsets on the beach bullsh-t and decided to write something completely me. I can say, it worked... I've been getting a lot more responses...
Anyway, here's what I wrote in my profile..
Let's take it slow.... but do you prefer diamonds or sapphires on your ring?
I'm nowhere even close to making the salary of a doctor or lawyer and asian males are as in high demand as... beepers. I'm kidding. Anyway, I'm a catch. Think Woody Allen with a dash of suave like Jaleel White =) If you get to know me, you'll find out I'm sarcastic most of the time and I love to laugh. Oh and I swam the English Channel...but only twice.
Anyway... Here's my list of requirements I want in a woman... (i don't think I'm asking for much)
1.) I want a girl who'll cut my steak into iddy bitty pieces and feed me like a mama bird.
2.) Someone who could overlook my guest appearance on NBC's To Catch a Predator.
3.) Can calculate Pi to the 27th decimal
4.) Has 6 fingers on each hand
5.) Knows the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" backwards.
6.) Taller than 8 ft.
7.) Can play both parts of Dueling Banjos at the same time.
8.) Can sneeze while keeping your eyes open.
9.) Won a nobel prize
10.) Knows the 30 lives cheat code in Contra.
11.) Is ok with the fact that I only make a 7 figure salary. That's if you include the decimal points.
12.) Dated a Klingon.
13.) Was not on the show Cheaters.
14.) Can tell me the name of the song Jessie Spano kept singing when she was addicted to Speed.
15.) Suffers from Count Chocolitis.
So if you found that amusing, I hope to hear from you or hopefully you can think of other requirements I should add. In all seriousness, I want someone I can have fun joking around with. Someone who gets all the little movie/pop culture references. Hell, if you want, we can just be friends. You can never have enough of those. |

| Hmm.. I could be wrong...(maybe not) |

But this year I've been told that I was a
- snob (and they said this to me in a friendly way.. how can that be good?)
- selfish
- cold
- a dick
That's too bad really. Anyway, I don't know if its true or not but someone told me, "you know who you are..."
You know what... That's really what matters so I don't (or try) not to let things bother me too much. But I was believed to give someone the benefit of the doubt so...
anyway...
I haven't written in here in a while but I should be getting back to it soon. Sorry, facebook had me occupied. |

So clearly this band thing isn't going anywhere. I don't think any of the guys want to practice. Umair has his business and jay with school and stuff. I gotta tell you, it's hard for me to find musicians who want to play. It's even harder to convince someone you want to sing in their band when you don't have music anywhere close to the stuff they write. When they hear the stuff you wrote, they'll respond, "we're not really that type of music." Seriously I know that... |

| Oasis - Madison Square Garden Dec 17th 2008 |
[Dec. 18th, 2008|03:36 pm] |
Pictures from Brooklynvegan.com
I saw Oasis last night at Madison Square Garden. Amazing. I can't believe how giddy I am the next day after seeing them. Best show (by them)I seen in years. I guess this is why they are still my favorite band after 14 years. Last night's show marked the 10th (or 11th) Oasis show I've seen since 96.
Here's their acoustic version (never seen him do this) of Don't Look Back in Anger from last night.

| One of the Best Ads of 2008 & a Breakup Letter |
[Dec. 16th, 2008|09:54 am] |
I keep forgetting to post these..
I also wrote a breakup letter to myspace...
Myspace,
I'm leaving tonight. It just wasn't working out. I caught you cheating on me with some other user who logged in to you using my account. Baby, that hurt(more than the stuff they sing about in a Boyz II Men song) and I can't stop thinking about how you did me wrong. Just the idea of someone logging in to you... argh!! We argue all the time and you won't let me change my email address. I really thought we had something. We even separated for a while, got drunk and had a makeup log-in to give it one more whirl. I'm not feeling it. I told you, "it's not you.. it's me, I don't know what I want...." and I meant it.
Anyway, I met someone else.. someone way crazier and totally into other things you never do. Her name is facebook. I have one last thing to say. "welcome to Dumpsville, population... YOU"

[Dec. 15th, 2008|12:18 pm] |
Mini Cooper S
With gas prices on a temporary decline, and the economy in flux, why get a car? I've always wanted a MINI but I honestly can't see myself buying one for a long long time. Designers aren't millionaires that's for sure, but damn, it sure would be cool to own one. Test drove one once and I felt like Forrest Gump the moment he met Jenny. I knew we were destined. Maybe a nice rich sugar mama would get me one. New objective, get a sugar mama.
Vespa Scooter
If I can't get a MINI, I would so settle on a Vespa. Living in the city, there's really no need to own a car. Truth is.. a car is a luxury where I live but I do need something to get to the other parts of JC.
Playstation 3
I think the reason I would get this bad boy is because it is a Blue-Ray player. But playing PS3 games is a nice bonus too.
iPhone 3G
Like that Beyonce song, I think I need to update my original iPhone. I gotta admit, I get annoyed with the EDGE network.
One Month's Rent
Seriously, in these tough times... how cool is this gift? One month of paid rent. |

Just thinking about Princess Unicorn makes MY horn pierce the sky!
If you watched The Office last night, you would so get this. The Testimonials section is the best. I posted one. I'm on page 50 under Chris E.

| What's Been Up.. |

Thanksgiving weekend was a long and tiring holiday for me. I didn't really shop for anything. I didn't wake up early for black friday nor did I wait on any long lines. The closest thing to shopping was going to Target with my cousins and buying a Nintendo Wii (not for me.. I swear, since the system came out, I have purchased 3 Wii Systems and kept NONE of them) and this board/party game Catchphrase, which is totally addicting.
Anyway, I'm just going to give the rundown of my thoughts...
- I didn't eat much during this Thanksgiving weekend and surprisingly, lost a bit of weight. Myu weight actually fluctuates within 10 lbs and it gets rather annoying that I can't get rid of this friggin' gut. And while I walk about 3.5 miles a day, I think my body has gotten use to the routine and it feels like its no longer effective.
- One of the things I have decided to change was my rice intake. Hey man, I'm asian so rice is usually in every part of my meal. These days, I try to eat it every few days.
- Another thing that has been bugging me is my smoking. I can tell you, in the past year, I have become a heavy smoker. I really hate it and I think I do usually out of boredom. Sounds stupid right? That's because it is. So in the next few days I'm going to try and consider if I should quit. My friends are really concerned about it and its been brought up to my attention a lot more these days.
- The greatest thing about the holidays is seeing family. While I don't really show it around them, I truly love the time I get to spend with my brother (my sister didn't show up till late Friday). On Thanksgiving, we rented some movies (Indiana Jones, I'm Not There, and The Ruins... oh yeah, I love Jenna Malone even more even though I wasn't impressed with her acting in that film.) We wanted to rent more indie films but most of them were really obscure or just too plain disturbing for the holidays. We couldn't agree on what we wanted to watch so we randomly picked those 3. I'll give you my thoughts on them in a sec. Anyway, it feels really cool to have someone who understands you so much (although we never say it). We talk about design and its like this game where we call out fonts we see in magazines or billboards or anything. We just talk about anything really.
- So my thoughts on those films.... maybe cause I don't know anything about Bob Dylan, but I really couldn't get into I'm Not There. I thought the film's cinematography was beautiful and Todd Haynes rarely disappoints (I loved his film Safe) But seriously, my thoughts on this film, I believe is because of my lack of Dylan knowledge. I had no idea why these characters all had different names but were ALL Bob Dylan. And to make it worse for me, one scene would be Heath Ledger as Dylan (with different name) then go to Christian Bale as Dylan, then back to Heath, and then to a new person as Dylan. I'm just wondering (for those who saw it), did did you have a hard time following it? How much did you know about Dylan before seeing the film.
- My company's holiday party is tomorrow and they want me to be the MC. Grrrrrrreat (kinda like how Tony the Tiger would say it but sarcastically excited) Shoot. I hate doing that. I told everyone I'll be like a deer in headlights. Remember that Chris Farley SNL skit where he interviews celebrities.. yeah like that..
- So rumor has it the prize tomorrow is a Nintendo Wii. |

| Chris Espiritu's Infinite Playlist Part I |
[Nov. 26th, 2008|02:46 pm] |
| [ | music |
| | Secrets Are Sinister-Longwave-Secrets Are Sinister | ] |
So here's a list of the songs on my current playlist on my iphone.
1.) Longwave Secrets are Sinister I truly admire this band. I guess the best way to describe this song is a mix of U2, definitely Snow Patrol and a dash of Deathcab.
2.) Longwave No Direction Easily the poppest song on the album. It'll probably resonate the most with new listeners. I swear, listening to this makes me want to drive my car really fast and jump up and down while cranking my guitar to 11.
3.) The Killers Spaceman Brandon Flowers is probably the musician I feel I relate to the most. The guy seriously hears all the catchy hooks and can make an average song sound... well... better than average. Too bad he's a dick. (I heard he was...I might be wrong) I think this is the best song on the new album. Usually when you release the best song on the album first.. it's going to suck. But I need to get another crack at it before I give my full review.
4.) Black Kids Hurricane Jane Diablo Cody hates Black Kids (wow that sounds so fucked up) I mean she thinks they are highly overrated. Maybe, but I love their album, it reminds me that music is still fun. Sometimes I feel like singing off the top of my lungs when I hear this song.
5.) MGMT Electric Feel Looking at their album cover reminds me of that classic 80's movie, The Warriors. This song can be mistaken for something from that time. Skip Time to Pretend, this sound is classic. I mean it must be if artists like Katy Perry is covering it.
6.) Vampire Weekend Everywhere Not much to say here but this is your usual Vampire Weekend tune. Oh and its a Fleetwood Mac cover
7.) Coldplay Life in Technicolor II This is how I picture it. Chris Martin, sitting in the tour van, staring out the window, thinking.. "damn I finally thought of lyrics to that damn song. That's how I am when I have a nice tune in my head. You hold out till something worthy of it comes along. |

| Cruisin' |
[Nov. 25th, 2008|11:12 am] |
I never really had the chance to see the whole movie Duets starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Huey Lewis, Paul Giamatti and others. Anyway, I found it quite entertaining. Paul Giamatti is one of my favorite actors.. and Gwen, I use to really love her. Like stalker love. Kidding, not that much.. but I use to like her a lot more till she married my friend Chris.
Recently, (i believe it was Spin Magazine) called Gwyneth and Huey Lewis' rendition of Smokey Robinson's Cruisin' as one of the worse duets ever. Actually the worst ever. I don't know what that guy was smoking but I thought that duet was quite good.
So you decide. Here's Gwen and Huey...
Now here's some Girl and some asian dude covering that song... not bad...
