random conversation heard between guy and random cute girl at testing area of DMV:
guy: so how do you think you did?
girl (with really strong accent): i don't know. test is hard
guy notices test is in japanese.
guy: oh, are you from japan? which part?
girl: osaka. you know where it is?
guy: a little bit. i visited japan a couple of years ago. i went to kyoto and i loved that area.
girl: me too.
guy: so why did you move here? work?
girl: i just moved last week. got married yesterday.
shocked expression #1.guy feels stupid. tries to regain composure.
guy: congratulations then
girl: oh...um...no, is fake marriage. for green card
shocked expression #2. guy is confused. doesn't know what to say. thinking: is she available? what is she saying? hmmm...married woman...
guy:oh...ummm...ok..
DMV lady: EXCUSE ME LADY, COULD YOU STAND OVER HERE. THIS IS A TESTING AREA. NO TALKING.
gives evil eye to guy
girl walks over to counter, makes cute pouting face, and then sticks out her tongue at guy (like you always see in the japanese anime)
so yeah...the guy was me. haha...at least it made my trip to the dmv interesting. i did pass my motorcycle licence test, so i'll be getting that in three weeks! also checked out a bike that day, suzuki katana 750. it's been a while since i've been on a bike before though. i'll still have to wait till summer to really enjoy it though.
oh..just got back from making copies. and on the way i saw 5 students sprinting across this courtyard at school. and then a few seconds later, patrick, this 50 year old french biology teacher, chasing after them and yelling "i'll catch you sometime! keep running punk!" and of course, right there were 3 of the 8 fat and lazy security guards that we have. just standing around. like they always do. complaining about how teachers shouldn't chase kids, it's a waste of time and all. then they just continue to talk on their radios and eat their twinkies.
ahhh...that brings back memories. i would've helped patrick out (who finally did get some good exercise), but i was carrying a stack of papers, and i think i might've hurt something in my ankle last week in hapkido...it hurts for me to stand and put pressure on it, but otherwise i have full flexibility. hopefully it won't affect me on my belt test this weekend.

what do you want out of life?
Sunday, April 27, 2003
so i've been kind of down on the US lately. mostly for the obvious reasons. but i've also gotten really sick of the stupid and lazy. i'm hoping other places aren't as bad as oakland. so what about the future? i wouldn't want to raise my kids here. the rest of the US? well...maybe if i stay in middle class suburbia...but i still have to deal with that fact that i live in a country full of morons. so i'm thinking....what about canada? i haven't done any research...but maybe i can move to a small suburb there, get a bunch of friends to move in with me, and we can start our own little community.
start small...then get big, maybe take over the whole province...
so what about vancouver? it's a bit fobby, but it's close...has great skiing...
so who's with me?
