F5 Questions

Here are the answers for last week’s,
this week’s,
next week’s,
Crap! I don’t know anymore….
just pick a Friday and pretend that that was it.

So, here we go.

1.) Who was your favorite all time teacher(s)?
—For the life of me I couldn’t remember his name, but he was an older gentleman from England.
I know this is true because he spoke English.
And you know how these English people are, with their spiffy accents,
that even if they are lying to you, they can still be very convincing.

They could tell you that the the Earth is flat, and you would believe them.
Just like when my teacher told me I was stupid,
by golly, he really made me think so.
Funny old chap, that guy is.

2.) What did they teach?
—Statics and Conceptual Physics.
Where he would give us this physics problem based on concept,
where if there would be a car, accelerating from a static point,
with a force speed of 45 Miles per Hour.
And a piece of string, 5 inches in length,
would be hanging from the rear view mirror,
and a metal nut screw, with a weight of 4.25 grams tied to it,
and was displaced from it’s resting point by 30 degrees,
You have to figure out the probability
if the driver of the vehicle can pick you up some food along the way.
Hey! I always get hungry around 2 AM.

3.) What is your best memory from that class?
—Being waken up, because I was snoring.
And the realization that people were laughing at me
not because I was snoring,
but because when I jolted up,
there was a mark of the spiral wire from my notebook, across my face.
Hey, at least I didn’t drool. (I think I hope.)

4.) Did you ever have a crush on a teacher and if so who?
—Oh Man! I so remember her so vividly,
since, this English Teacher of mine, might as well be teaching French.
Because she is “Oui, oui, Tu Est Jolie.”
And for confidentiality reasons, I can’t disclose her name,
since Ms. Gina values her privacy.

5.) What is the craziest/wildest/weirdest thing you (or someone you know) ever did at school?
—In college, we had quite a gap between our classes.
So by the time we attend our night classes, all of us friends, would be sloshed,
shit-faced drunk. And then we would..
wait…
all of us would be…
No wait…
We would…

Okay, I can’t really remember most of it.
I guess since it happened so many times,
there aren’t much brain cells left.

*Sighs*
Well, at least our livers are still fine. (I think I hope.)

New Song Added – Crazy Love

Crazy Love
Music by Poco
Guitars and Voices by – Ty Martell



Mobile Player here:

I was trying to play a different song,
I don’t know how I ended up with this one.

I was planning on playing something fast,
something that rocks,
something that is crazy.

So I guess, when I thought of crazy,
I thought of people that I love.

They’re so crazy,
They make me want to swallow
a whole bottle of aspirin.

Or bleach.

Space Ship One

I just watched one of the most simple,
most raw,
most rockin’ guitar DVD ever!

Space Ship One
by Paul Gilbert.

Paul has been one of my favourite
guitar players of all time.

His blazing fast licks and gutbucket riffs
always make me want to smash my head into a wall.

But I won’t do that because I suck at fixing drywall
and I have no time to repaint.

So I’ll just try to play more songs,
And play a lot of ROCK!

I don’t care if people listen to it or not.

I just do it for you, Damien.
It’s all for you!

The Mark of the Beast

666

Tomorrow would be the anticipated date of this year.
June 6, 2006
06-06-06

“Let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast,
for it is the number of a person.
Its number is six hundred sixty-six.”
(Revelation 13:16-18, New Revised Standard Version)

This is it folks.

Tomorrow will be the end!
Tomorrow, all we have feared will come!
Tomorrow, we see the number of the beast!
Tomorrow, we experience the mark of Satan!
Tomorrow, evil shall be set free!
Tomorrow, evil shall befall the earth!
Tomorrow, the prophecy will be fulfilled!
Tomorrow, widespread panic and terror shall rule the land!
Tomorrow would be the end of the worl”¦”¦.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute”¦..

It’s already tomorrow in Australia.

Sheesshhhh!!!

Nevermind.

Friday 5 (80’s)

At last!!
On time!!

Here we go!

1.) Favourite movie of the 1980s?

—It’s hard to pick your favourite “movie” from “movies” you’ve seen and liked.
And if I put the classic 80’s flicks like “Back to the Future” series, “Indiana Jones” series or E.T.,
it’s already a given that these are into everyone’s likings.

So I selected a few of my personal, weird and obscure favourites.

1. Crossroads ““ With Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai in it. (Not the Britney one)
I chose this, because, come on. Who doesn’t want to have a guitar duel with the devil?

2. Hard to Hold ““ with Rick Springfield. Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to become a rock star with beautiful girls falling for you?

3. Clash of the Titans ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to be a greek god?

4. The Dark Crystal ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t have a fetish with puppets?

5. Debbie Does Dallas ““ Okay maybe it’s 1978. But I have seen it in the 80’s. And come on, Who doesn’t know Debbie?

2.) Favourite musician/group of the 1980s?

— This would be very difficult for me, for if I list them all,
I would have to cancel all my appointments and my child will not be eating lunch.
So I decided to put down all the band posters I had in my room, when I was growing up.

Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
Tears For Fears
Spandau Ballet
Sade
Michael Jackson
Eurythmics
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Brooke Shields
Poison
Debbie
Hustler

–Oops! You didn’t see that.

3.) Favourite TV show of the 1980s?

—My God! Each and every Saturday morning cartoon!
Yes Kids!
In our day, we only watch cartoons on a Saturday!
One day a week!
Not like you with your 24 hour cartoon channel network.
You spoiled little shits!

4.) Favourite invention of the 1980s?

—2 things, I believe were the best invention in the 80’s.
The Atari 2600 and those Pop Rocks candies,
that pops in your mouth when you eat them.
YES! I love those.

5.) World Event from the 1980s that stands out in your mind?

—I have to say it’s the “People Power” Revolution in the Philippines.
Because right in the midst of all the fear and confusion,
all the way to the people’s victory,
I was in the hospital being treated for Dengue.

Yes. My body is weaker than most children.
That’s what you get when you aren’t breast fed.
And you sniff a lot of glue.

My god!
As you can see,
I am the best guy to answer all these Friday Five questions!
I should be given a medal.
And a straightjacket.

Busko ’91 Reunion

Congratulations!

To my fellow Bosconian brothers,
for a successful simultaneous web cast reunion,
both from California and Manila.

It was great to see you guys,
kahit sa webcam man lang.

Nakakainggit talaga!

Hopefully, I get to be in Colorado for part 2.

Mabuhay kayo, mga kapatid!

Pro Deo, Et Patria

When they grow up

Do you ever wonder what your kids would be
when they grow up?

Maybe you would have a premonition based on what they do,
or how often they perform certain actions?

A kid who is fond of trains and cars,
could become an engineer.

Someone who takes good care of their dolls and things,
could become a renowned physician.

Someone who loves to read books,
could become a successful author.

A child who is fond of singing,
might become a popular rock star.

A kid who loves to act out scenes from their favorite movie,
could be a famous celebrity actor someday.

These are all just examples of how
you might know what your kid would end up
when they finally grow up.

Although, I must ask,

What does it mean,
when your child comes up to you,
coming in from the backyard,
on more than one occasion,
and says:

“Daddy, I killed the lizard!”

(I think I need to lie down.)

Bitch, bitch, bitch!

My site has been slllloooowwwww, this past few days.
It’s freakin’ frustrating!

…and the “FeedBack” section doesn’t work.
…and my Laptop died.
…and my USB drive is dying too.
…and I haven’t done any backups.
…and I need to do a whole bunch of crap.
…and my neighbors are assholes.
…and I’m hungry.
…and sleepy.
…and angry.
…and I’m broke.
…and I suck.
…and my head hurts.

Bitch , bitch, bitch.
Hate, hate, hate.
Whine, whine, whine.

So.
How was your day?

(I was gonna add more,
but I need to take a shower,
‘coz I stink.)

Last Friday’s Friday Five

I was going to apologize for being late with this,
because I was too lazy.

But then I was even too lazy to do that.

And then again, I know you don’t care.

So here goes.

1. What type of mood are you generally in on a rainy day?

—I actually like the rain.
I guess I get it from when I was young in the Philippines,
and all the kids go out and play in the rain.

There was a time when we never had running water at our house,
I would actually go out and bathe in the rain, with soap and shampoo at hand.
(Hey, beats the hell out of fetching buckets of water from blocks away.)

2. What are your favorite things to do when the weather is gloomy?

—I was going to say Sleep.
But I have never done that since the dawn of the internet has plagued my life.
(Curse you Oh Lords of Technological Progress!)

3. Have you ever been kissed in the rain?

—If by “kissed” you mean, your lips actually touched the asphalt road,
because it was raining so hard and you tripped and fell face forward.
Then Yes.

4. After the rain stops, do you continue what you were doing,
or do you run outside to do something else?

—Holy crap, I don’t understand this one.
I guess it really depends on what you’re doing.
I mean, I couldn’t go outside, if I am right in the middle of
performing bypass surgery on my ingrown toenail.

5. What is your favorite drink/food to have when it’s raining outside?

—A nice bowl of warm soup would be nice.

But then again, you can’t really associate rain with your food.
Unless, you were eating outside and it was raining.
Then you can’t really have any warm soup,
because that would look really ridiculous.

Standing outside in the rain holding a soup bowl.
What’s wrong with you?

My God, why do I even bother.

Check out,
Anne’s,
Abbie’s,
Maitz’,
And Nikki’s answer to these questions.

Because ever since our elementary days,
these people can answer questions correctly.

Not like some guy I know who pretends to be funny.

I am talking to you Alex Trebek.
Yes you!
You are not funny, and I hate you.
