What the heck is happening?

What's going on?

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why is this happening?

yer fired!

Yet another decent episode of The Apprentice. This time, Bill Rancic, the winner from the first one took George's place in overseeing the projects.

Last nights project was to try and get the highest score on the Zagat Survey for their restaurants. I really thought that the guys did a bang up job from the start. First they hired a cleaning crew to clean the place top to bottom then they just seemed to be really organized and spread out. It also looked like they were having fun with the customers. Raj did a fantastic job as project manager.

Whereas the women's team just needed some more oomph. I must admit that their restaurant looked really great, but as Carolyn said, it wasn't the place to put it, they didn't look at the demographic enough. The project manager, Jen, I think that's her name, didn't seem to do anything. I don't know if this was editing or what, it just seemed like she hoared over people and customers, not really contributing anything much. For instance there was a point where she was talking to these 2 customers, and she kept saying 'great, great, hows the food, great, great' and she stayed there looking at them for like 2 mins longer. If I were the customer I'd totally be like WTF, get out of here, we're trying to eat! She also didn't seem to do a bang up job spreading the women around. Ivana had the best idea which was to spread them all out whenver they clumped together.

Overall, Bill said it best in the boardroom. This is not a game. There's no point in making alliances because most likely you will be fired. And that's what happened. I loved how Jen chose Elizabeth and Stacie R. to the boardroom. The 2 people she disliked the most. Instead of her friend that failed the biggest, the decorator.

So there you have it. Last nights episode seemed to lack some of the drama from last years shows. I wonder if there is a new editor or soemthing. Also, it was easy to tell that the women would lose, b/c they kept showing only the women in action, i don't know about you, but this seems to be a clue.

I am glad to see that the men are winning more often and not getting clobbered by the women like last years as well.

And I think I've found my favorite girl that I will cheer for throughout the show. Her name....Elizabeth!

Why here you ask? Well, she's the cutest by far, and she has a sensibility but some chutzpah as well. I totally dig her style. We'll see how far she goes in The Apprentice. I do hope she makes it towards the end. I still haven't chosen a guy to win. Last year I had thought it would be Bill and...damn, her name escapes me...ahh Amy, but that wasn't it. It was Bill and Kwame.

It's harder to choose a guy this year b/c they dont seem to be profiling them as much as the women. I think in a couple of more weeks I will be able to tell.

But for now....Let's GO ELIZABETH! DON'T GET FIRED!

square peg, no hole.

This weekend solidifies my status as the square peg. After having gone to a suprise b-day bash for my ex-ceo of a dotcom, some friends and I went to this club out in Hermosa Beach. It was pretty ok, but I quickly realized how lame I am. Not only did I not really fit in, I just didn't understand the whys of it all. Going under the guise that we were entertainment reporters (so we wouldnt have to stand in line), my friends quickly found themselves having a blast dacing amongst themselves on the floor.

I always knew that I had more fun hanging out with good people and places conducise to hanging out, like bars or coffee shops or whatevers. Not clubs, where the music is too loud, too many guys hitting on too few girls. I think clubs are only fun when you acutally have a g/f to go with. Otherwise, whats the point? Seriously. Whats the point? I saw a few people kind of hookup, but not really. The music was cool, but again, I think I'm just too old for the clubbing scene.

I mean, I'm not that old, mid 20's, but having done all of the clubbing and mass drinking earlier on in life, I have just grown tired of the whole ordeal. I used to see the attraction years ago, meeting new girls, hooking up with girls and trying to bang'em. But now-a-days, it just doesnt whet my appetite.

What can you do? Even at the b-day I got along with some people, but maybe it was b/c I was the only asian there, or maybe it was because I was 20 years younger than everyone else. But whatever the case maybe, I usually feel like the odd one out wherever I go.

Funny to note that the only time I really felt at home was when I was in a place where I didn't know anyone. Like when I lived in Korea or traveled through western europe. I felt most at ease at those places. I dont know what the cause is, but I just can't seem to relate to many of my friends or anyone around me. Why is that? Same story for all these years. Maybe that's why I don't really keep in touch with most friends. Maybe thats why when I speak to some frineds I knew from high school, they tell me how they hung out with all these people from high school and what not. Or even from college. Hearing these things usually makes me go, hmm... We were all friends, why contact them? Perhaps it was b/c I was so detached from everyone, only really getting along with the older people, like the people I worked with who were usually at least 5 years older than me.

I'm not saying I'm mature, but I just feel like I am totally in a different universe when talking to people my age. Could it be b/c I'm usually the one doing things first? Like starting a company, travelling, and doing a whole slew of other things, and that by the time my friends catch up, I',ve already been there done that?

I hate being alone, even when I'm surrounded by friends, I'm still alone. Stupid focking me. I dont think I'll ever find someone who understands. Oh well....who gives a crappola.

Oh well. As much as I enjoy pondering the why's of why I am so out of place I must go and get some work done.

oprah win free?

Recently, GM had a promo on Oprah Winfrey's talk show and gave away 276 new G6's to each of the audience members. I knew they would have to pay taxes, but some of them thought they could just walk away with the cars and not worry about it.

Here's a cute article at fool.com.

C'mon people, let's get with the times, you need to expect that crap! If it were me, i'd totally sell the damn thing, pay the taxes and keep the exta 20k and invest that crap! Maybe into a better car like the infiniti g35.

tonights apprentice

Finally! FINALLY! Finally Stacie was fired. I must admit though, I was surprised at how they did it though. Everyone said she was schizo basically and so Trump got a consensus. This was weird. But pretty effective since she got fired.

Tonights contest I thought was poorly done though, I mean, a buzz index? Who generates the most buzz? I mean, shit, its so objective you know? So the girls got Mike Piazza. BFD. Seriosuly, the people didnt look like they cared b/c there really wasn't anyone there. Did you notice how the camera panned once to the full crowd and then just had tight shots? That's because no one was there!

Same thing goes for the guys and their circus idea. But theirs looked more fun and engaging. Oh well.

Tonights episode didn't really get me all riled up like last weeks, and I hope that future episodes will be better. I mean, every single episode last year totally engaged me, but tonights left me wanting something. Maybe it was b/c you couldnt really qualify the episode with numbers. It was just opinion. I mean if they measured the number of people that filled out surveys or even just counted the number of people then I would have been satisfied. But nay. No qualifier whatsoever.

I wonder who'll win though. I don't even know who to root for. I was originally shooting for Bradford, but that dumbass got fired. I'd really like to have Ivana, but she's pretty lame as well, but I will root for a fellow asian in hopes that she won't get too flustered in any future projects and stops being a pushover. Go Ivana! GO!

No one on the guys team has really struck me as a good leader, but that kid does have some balls on him which makes him a contender. But I wouldnt be surprised to see him fail when he leads the team. We'll see.

I'll have a better understanding of who I want to win in about 3 more episodes I'd say.

and the cow goes RUFF!

It's been such a disastrous day. Nothing seemed to go right...again. Stupid computers failing, car not working...again, stupid drivers on the road, stupid people walking...and whats up with the people that stand in line at Carls jr?

I see the same freegin people, order the same freegin thing and yet they always take like 5 minutes to look at the menu and order! Man, I can totally predict what they get b/c they always get the same damn thing!

And what gives with the schmoes in the bank? I went to the bank today and freegin everyone seemed to be standing in line and filling out their deposit slips. Now I know this isn't a crime, but what should be a crime is when they are holding up the freegin line! Or they think that they can get their place back. One person does it, then everyone does it! WTF!?

Argh....so much more, but I think I am going to chill out for a minute before I cut out of work....

Man, my day would really suck if it weren't for these cute assistants around the office. Sucks that winter is coming b/c mmm....they looked so yummy! Sad that they don't have much going on upstairs, but thats why they were hired! Hope they dont realize that. But yup...the big guy wanted some eye candy for the clients and himself.

Earlier today I saw one of them cleaning his floor, on hands and knees! U know what she was wearing? mmm.....short blouse and jeans type. I can't describe it but she looked cute. Anyhow, I could tell the big guy wanted to jerk off to her especially the lonely old managers...so perverted. They would just stare at them...and the girls too! hahaha.

Whats funny is that everyone in the office knows, but don't say shit. Seriously, if I really cared about this job I would totally tell the girls and have them file a lawsuit. But I think in some weird way the girls like being the eye candy of hte office.

But having them clean the big guys office is something totally...how u say...WRONG!?

damn, i'm outta here.

wadatah

what a day...what a day... so much happened yet so little. Went to repair 1 tire that had a nail only to find another tire had a nail. I told them, to fix it and rotate the tires. 30 mins later they come and get me and tell me that they found yet another nail in another tire! Only this one was too close to the sidewall so they had to replace the damn thing. $200! new tire for suv. oye vay.

I wonder if I'll ever be good at writing stuff. Will this ever be interesting other than to me? hmm...i dont care. So here's what else happeened....ahh sidenote, this reminds me of Doogie, except everyone can read this stuff and not just Wanda after having done it! woohoo!

So what else happened today...other than the countless meetings and phone calls. After which I was thoroughly drained but I still have work to do. Why is it that no matter how much I get done, there is always crap to do?

Man, I love Most Extreme Challenege! Speaking of which, I need to take japanese, I've been watching so many japanese films lately that I really need to learn it. Plus its realy great sounding...and the women....mmmm.....

That is all for today. Tune in tomorrow. Same Blog channel. Same Blog time. Same Blog crapolla.

brazilian women...

why the heck are brazillian women so hot? Is it there skin, their big boobies, their scrumptious buttocks, their long hair, long legs, big full lips.....? what is it? And why is that whenever I flip through the channels and I go past the spanish channel, there is always some really, really, REALLY hot chick on it? Even when its some little kids show, there is some hot chick announcer in thigh high boots, short shorts, and tighter than tight top. Talk about sending the wrong message...it's like...look kids, you too can grow up to be atv announcer, just grow some big boobs, long legs and big round butt!

I ain't complainin so long as they keep churnin our these women! hahaha

What's great about that stuff is when they show the audience, there are loads of old guys! hahaha.

But me likey watching those women...mmm.....

that is all.

end of line.

insomniac

Unable to sleep. Unable to do much. Tired, but not sleepy. Watching tv. Watching nada. Man, it's amazing how much I get done at night.

What's even more amazing is how many people are up this late. Its 3am and the street is still buzzing with activity. Stupid people. Why aren't they asleep? Lot of drunks around these parts. But what can you do right?

So many damn paid programmings on right now, I wish I had digital cable so I could watch something decent or at the least, interesting. but oh well, what can i do right?

WTF happened on the apprentice?

So last night I was watching the apprentice for the supposedly board room that everyone would be talking about. and boy, this tyime they sure didn't disappoint!

Bradford got fired! And it was b/c dumbass ivana wasn't decisive and brought him into the board room. of course the first mistake was him saying he'd give up his free ride. What a dumbass! But really, I think Stacie is a plant. I mean, who is that retarded? And she is so much like omarosa that it isn't funny. She's actually worse! Whats up with that?!

But I definitely couldn't beleive what happened. It seemed like Ivana was thinking that she'd bring in Bradford to strengthen her cause to get rid of stacie, but that didn't happen. Man, it totally backfired. And what was up with Jen? Wtf is her problem? Seriously, I can't wait to watch the rest of the series, b/c i think Jen is one of those types to hold a grudge. I still think Ivana was pretty retarded in how she handled her project management.

We'll see what happens. I still think Stacie is a plant and I think that as much as they want to get rid of her, they Trump is gonna find a way to keep her.

I mean, everyone said she was a liability except he chose Bradford because of his impulse decisions. What he failed to mention was the impulse decisions are definitely a 2 way street. It can be totally good or totally bad. He was the strongest player by far, but oh well. It's all about ratings this season so it doesnt matter.

Sad thing was, the girls were down for 3 hrs? wtf is that? If one of them sold during those 3 hrs they would have totally made money and probably could have won. But nay, they wanted to have the carts together. I'm surprised no one stepped up and said hey, lets just start selling?

Oh well....guess i'll just have to wait next week to see what'll happen.

now what?

What is the world coming to?

Yes, Bush is dumb.
Yes, porn rules.
Yes, life blows.

But what is this world coming to? Really?

Just answer me that!

ANSWER ME THAT!

the billionaire

Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Corps has doing a reality tv show, called The Rebel Billionaire. Who else is doing reality shows? Why so many!?

Anyhow, the real reason why I'm writing about him isn't to rant about reality tv again, but it's really to talk about what he's done for the business world. Sir Richard Branson has done a lot for the entrepreneur because he's shown that you can go against the grain and succeed. He was the first to bring pay as you go plans for cell phones here in the states, as well as many other things, which I won't write because there are so many. But he is definitely someone to look up to. He's created hundreds of companies and he's not afraid of going into new areas with the Virgin brand.

From sodas and records to airlines and cell phones. He pretty much has a business everywhere with the Virgin brand. I dont know of any other company that boasts this kind of diversity. I know of some conglomerates but that's different.

A guy that is not afraid of taking chances both in business and in life. He is one guy that knows for sure on how to live life to the fullest.

Go for it Sir Richard Branson! Only let's not do it on the tv with your Rebel Billionaire show please.

why so much reality tv?

Why is there so much reality tv? I am really tired of all of them because they all seem like the same damn thing. I love the apprentice but even that's getting old. I mean if there isn't any more scripted shows what are we supposed to do? I mean, no one really likes watching re-runs of the reality shows. So what do we do during vacation?

At lease my favorite show of all time is back on....SCRUBS! zach braff and the whole crew are back. Except there is a cool arc with Heather Graham. Her character is so funny and quirky. I dig it, I hope she stays on a for a bit longer because I'd love to see her character and see why she's so quirky. There's gotta be some really messed up reason why she's so spacey.

That 70's show is back as well with Donna being a blond...mmm...although I am very partial to redheads....but she's still pretty hot.

Las Vegas came back with a bang on monday! woohoo!!! man those girls on that show are sooooo hot! mmm...niki cox looks so yummy. I could just...i dunno, dip her in chocolate and...hehe...

So out of the billion shows that debuted, I really only like 4, 3 scripted and 1 reality series. Not much to say for the shows eh?

But I will say this. NO MORE REALITY SHOWS! Especially since they are more like scripted reality because they create storylines in the editing room and boy do they do some shady stuff!

Ok, that's all.
