Why is it so cold?

Yay for more than one post in a week? See now that I have more time I can actually update this more. Then again, I'm updating this while lying in bed at about 1:30 at night so yeah, most people have free time around this time.

Well yesterday I had a pretty interesting day I suppose. The plan was to meet up at 12 to eat some pho, then head over to Oakland for some ice skating, then go back to my old high school for the show choir Winter Concert. And yeah thats pretty much what happened. I drove around and picked up Andy, Jessica, and Ada and we met up at Pac East mall to eat some pho. To be honest, after living in Hayward for a few years now, the pho places out here in San Pablo are pretty crappy. If you compare the dishes here to the ones in Hayward, the ones here are lacking something. When you take that first bite into some pho at like, Red Chili's, you just get that feeling in you that the food is so good that you're gonna finish it. I didn't get that feeling when I was eating at Pac East yesterday.

Well after pho we decided to drive to Oakland for some ice skating. I didn't really want to drive there since I didn't know how to get there but yeah we eventually found it. Parking was pretty terrible though; had to park at a meter that was kinda far away and it was kinda expensive also. Tell me why it takes 25 cents to park a car for 10 minutes. Yet another reason why I don't like driving. Ice skating itself wasn't too bad though. I kinda fell down the most times ive ever fallen in recent ice skating outings. They had just gotten done resurfacing the ice, so it was all slippery when we got on. It was kinda insane how slippery the ice was. I was literally sliding sideways on the ice, which later on became pretty cool because I found out that if you pick up enough speed and go around one of the turns, you can slide sideways and its kinda like ice skating drifting haha. Fun stuff.

Well after that we decided to go to Barnes and Noble since we had alot of time to kill since it was only like 4 and the Winter Concert started at 7. Well I had no idea how to get out of Oakland, so as usual, I got lost haha. It also didn't help that me, Andy and Jessica were playing a car game so my attention wasn't 100% on getting back home. The goal of the game was to spot words that started with sequential letters of the Alphabet and whoever gets to Z first wins. And the driver of the car actually won, which says alot about how much I pay attention to the road when i'm driving. Hopefully I'm not scaring anyone away from riding in the car with me. I don't like driving lonely haha.

Well we finally got back to Pinole and we made it to Barnes and Noble (although I made a bit of a detour and picked up a Sweet Tea at mickey d's). Then we ate dinner at McD's and I had chicken nuggets for the first time in hella years. Good stuff haha but hella calories. Its all good though. Wow I really needa cut out on eating so much fast food. Ive gained like 10 pounds this year. I went from like 120ish to 130ish. Not necesarrily a bad thing because ive always been underweight, but yeah this isn't the kind of weight that I want to gain. Guess its just time to start working out. Anyone up to go running?

Well we finally got back to my ghetto ass high school for the winter concert. I guess the high point of going back to my old school is seeing my old friends back there, because I was pretty close with alot of the underclassmen back at my old school and the freshmen when I was a senior are now seniors in their own regard so wow, makes me feel a smidge old. It was really good seeing people like Ruth and Eugene again because I get to see them only like once a year.

As for the concert itself, geez it wasn't all that great. I'm going to sound like a typical alumni here, and I don't even know if my opinion should matter because its not like I was ever in acapella or show choir or anything like that, but wow the quality of the conservatory has gone down. The kids siging in the Acapella choir looked like they were dead. More than half of them looked like they either hadn't gotten enough sleep, were too cool to be singing, or had no idea what the lyrics were. They also added a guitar class thsi year so I was kinda excited about seeing them perform, but wow it sounded like a 1st grade elementary school class. What they played that night, I could have taught someone to play in a day. They had a whole quarter to learn their stuff yet they could only play like single note stuff, and when they did play something a little harder then everyone except the kids in the front row (who you could tell already know how to play guitar before the class cause they got that typical rocker look), would put their guitars down and not play. Show choir was alright though. They do have alot of talent there but I guess they just need a few more months to get it together even more.

Well after the concert, we went to Jessica's house to go play some rock band and that was hella fun, because rock band is never not fun haha. I love playing drums but yeah I needa work up my foot muscles for that bass drum. But yeah after that I just went home and slept haha. Feels good to finally be able to sleep in, even though Ive been staying in bed till like 2pm everyday haha. Thats pretty bad but yeah its all good though.

Well the reason this post is title'd why is it so cold is because its been super freezing lately. What's been going on with the weather? We live in California and its freezing like we're living on the east coast. I was wearing two sweaters yesterday and I still felt the icey winter breeze pierce through to my skin. It was almost as cold last night as it was when I was ice skating. This just isn't right. The only thing that would make all this coldness worthwhile is if I woke up the next morning and it was snowing. That'd be pretty interesting haha. But yeah till next time.
