So many miles and so long.

A very particular friendship bracelet of mine broke off yesterday, marking it exactly two years since the day it was given to me. How coincidental, and yet so nostalgic. I have always held that accessory dear to my heart, and it finally gave out. I'll do the same too I guess.

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you.
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you.
But suddenly now, I know where I belong.
It’s many hundred miles but it won’t be long.

This past weekend was quite a blur, and the reason why is pretty obvious. I have probably taken more alcohol in this one weekend than I did this whole year, haha. Thanks again for those who made the effort to come see me this weekend, it lifted my spirits.

Yardhouse was chaotic, given the small amount of space in the patio to accommodate 40 people was no easy task. I nearly maxed out my texting and calling memory space in one night, just to make sure everyone knew where they were going. But of course, it all worked out in the end.

Just for the record, this is what I consumed within a span of 24 hours.

• 2 Jager Bombs
• 2 shots of Jager
• 1 Adios (AMF)
  
• 1 Thai Bomb
  
• 1 Four Horsemen
• 1 shot of Patron
• 1 tall glass of Pyramid
  
• 1 Tokyo Tea
• 1 Jameson with Sprite

I had work the next day at 1pm, which was today. And boy, was it tough. It was quite funny because half the co-workers that were working was in the same state as myself. We all gave each other a devious smile and then I proceeded to check the timesheet. I saw that Heather has already called in "sick" and Mike had to leave from working barely two hours because he couldn't do it anymore, haha. I then walked into the break room to see Rhea past out on the couch. I walked back to my station and my manager came up to me and said, "I'm glad to see that you are still alive, David. Thanks to you, everyone else isn't." Mission completed.

It's getting close to that day, I shall refrain from drinking for awhile now. It's been fun while it lasted.

Thank you, thank you.

I am still currently drunk right now, but I am feeling good.

It's been awhile since I had this much comfort and fun, and I'm grateful for my friends. This weekend was a success; all my close friends were at one place and I am quite pleased for them to finally meet one another. I would like to thank Tami, Jeff, Heather, Charles, Kristina, Josh, Brian, Jasper, and Andrew for the drinks. I would like to thank Courtney, Shannon, and Glenn for being my drivers. Thank you Lawrence for being the photographer for the night. Thank you Michelle, Lawrence, Courtney, Erin, Ashraf, and Jocelyn for the birthday gifts.

Mazel tov!

Tonight was a good night indeed.

Winter Wonderland.

Dear Santa,

I would like to have a banjo.
I would like to have a string necklace with a nice charm.
I would like to have a new pair of shoes.
I would like to have some black and white lens.
I would like to have a pair of leather gloves.
I would like to have tickets to an upcoming show.
I would like to have you back as well.

It's that time of year again.

I've spent more that I had planned, but at least it's for something my friends can enjoy.

With my long-awaited day off from work the past few days, I finished all my errands. I have finally completed my shopping today. I wanted to see everyone today to give them my gifts, but not everyone was free. This will be the closest I will get to having the Christmas spirit, given that the actual Christmas day will be very lonesome and boring for me.

I am going to get plastered this weekend.

With whom and with what.

I don't know what to do for Christmas.
I don't know what to do for my birthday weekend.

Kids are expensive.

I just returned home from watching Avatar in 3D which my niece, nephew, and mother. Simply amazing. I haven't gone to the movies in awhile, and this was the best choice by far. My niece and I agreed to give Avatar a respectable 9 out of 10. Go watch it!

So next week is my birthday, my 22nd birthday. My work was nice enough to give me the day off, as well as not having me close the night before, and open the day after. So I have Saturday night free after 7pm and all of Sunday off. My co-workers are trying to get me to a bar on Sunday night, we shall see. Either way, I'm looking forward to that weekend.

I haven't nearly finished my Xmas shopping yet, sigh, and I have absolutely no time to do it. Come on come on.

The Plane*arium

So I finally made my first trip to the Griffith Observatory today. I took my mother, niece, and nephew along, sitting through about an hour of traffic. The observatory was much nicer than I had expected and it was already dark by the time we arrived. We had purchased tickets for the planetarium show that didn't start for another hour, so we just spent the remaining amount of time standing outside on the decks, enjoying the spectacular view.

The DWP starts now!

It's about damn time.

-The Untitled David Wong Project-

Marty Cihigoyenetche - Lead Guitar, Banjo
Justin Mckee - Drums, Percussion
Brian Rocke - Base Guitar
David Wong - Rhythm Guitar, Piano/Keyboard

The vocalist has yet to be decided amongst one of us, haha. This is going to blow everyone's mind, well, at least ours.

I heard a familiar line.

So I was brushing my teeth this morning when I quietly heard my nephew Calvin, singing.

He sang, "How many times must a cannonball fly."

It took me about five seconds to realize what I had just heard. I stopped what I was doing and asked him to repeat that line for me, and he did. I asked him where he had heard that line, and he said from Lilli-anne's CD. I then proceeded to Lilli-anne asking her what CD Calvin was talking about, and she replied..."Kids Bop." Haha, what a lame answer, but I was quite pleased to hear that line.

Bob Dylan wrote that verse.

Do you want me to save you...

or your camera?

it depends.. if I broke something in my body.

it would be much more expensive to repair than a camera.

do you think you will break something though?

yea, I would most likely break something.

alright, I'd guess I would save you then.

It's a little bit funny.

The Christmas list is much shorter this time around. I would like to think that the reason behind it is because of the lack of cash I have. But sadly to say, it is not. I shouldn't be spending much money on Christmas this year anyways, given my current situation. However, I won't let it stop me completely of course, I'm waiting for my next paycheck..

So, I think it's about time that I should mention this girl. I don't know how to put it into words, but lets just say that it's been pretty fun. We are quite different from one another, but we are trying. To be frank, there are a lot of barriers among us and it will most likely turn what we have into a mere fling, if anything at all. She's moving away next year, so it's already predetermined. But I am find with it, I am just glad to be able to feel this way with someone that returns it.

My dear admirer.

I too can say that I am fond of you as well.

The Decembrist uprising.

3,000 Russian soldiers once stood out against Nicholas I's rule when he took the throne from his brother Constantine.

They failed in their heroic protest.


It's almost that time of year again. The good and the bad.
