I think I believe strongly in karma.

so I haven't updated in awhile

I only have this to say
I am a heartless fiend
I have lost distinction between reality and the dream world

Somewhere along the way, something went wrong.

One of my friends was in a serious car accident.
I don't pray.
Please hope for him.

My dreams are unfulfilled for now.

Fascinating surve from karen's xanga (whose last name I can't seem to remember)

No Vanguard Cadets this year..damn.
Because I am out of town and it would be difficult to come to rehearsal?

or because I don't hold a candle to these experienced drummers?
A little bit of both. Now what?

Daniel Quach, Computer Science Engineering Undergraduate, is finished with the University of California: Los Angeles Fall Quarter 05-06.

Sweet.
1 down, 2 to go. Time flies fast.
I'm home tomorrow.

OMG
I am done this quarter for UCLA this saturday, almost a full week ahead of everyone else.
Sweet

Vanguard Cadets, episode 2, how do I compare to the other talent of the area?
Not well since I can't practice during dead week.

That's awesome. Can't wait til I go home though

Look at that ugly, hateful, sin-filled creature. It's revolting.
Oh. A reflection.

Reflect. Learn. Why not?

What a good day it's been
Happy BIRTHDAY mary

I've lost it

I've probably said it before, but I'll say it again. Matt Ring is amazing.

It was my birthday recently. To celebrate, I went down to Long Beach with my parents and watched my old high school's marching band perform. Fantastic job, couldn't have asked for anymore.

Spent the day hanging out with old friends, getting hugs, and snapping a few photos.

Rachel and Luis came from SDSU, crazy far, Rachel drove us out to get some In and Out because she's awesomely nice like that (thanks again rach)

Watched all the way til the end of finals plus retreat. Finally got to see what this amazing Mission Viejo school that everyone talks about.

There were many good schools out there too, some with interesting music, some with interesting drill, but some that just kind of bored the heck out of me.

It was nice to see everyone again, it'll be better to go back home and have fun with them when I have my car again. W0000000T car!

call me crazy, but I think with old age, I am obviously getting more senile, paranoid, and insane. Just look at my profile, it says so too. My thoughts have been so wishy-washy and tangled and troublesome, that I need to get away from it all and chill.With a bottle of vodka.

Maybe not the vodka. But friends would be nice.

It's my 18th birthday. Go me.

I should seem a bit happier about this..

I look back on my old xanga/LJ entries and reflect on how I've changed these past 4 years. It's very interesting..if I could meet the old me, just think of how different we'd be?

Somewhat disturbing too. Am I destined to change constantly and never be one stable person?

I certainly hope not

I was late to class for the first time today. Didn't miss much...

Matt Ring is fucking hilarious.
End post.

YES
new mp3 player.
It was raining all day today. Thunder too. How serene. If only I weren't walking AROUND in it.


I have been at UCLA for a month. I rock.
And I'm actually ahead for a class..haha. And behind in CALCULUS. All over again..

I believe I have learned to overcome the issue. Unless another dream like that arises. Got to be coincidence. Definitely.

WTF MY MP3 PLAYER AIN'T COMING TIL MONDAY NEXT WEEK

I'm an impatient bastard. but seriously, it's been like 2 weeks
