So its been more than 2 months since ive even looked at this stupid thing... im not writing in here to let people 'see' my life, but i realized that it really is a kewl thing to have to look back on your life. Wow where to start... I'm in Irvine and pledging the best fraternity on campus, Kappa Sigma. I feel like i really have found my place in life, and although i really need to focus I think im on the right track. Being in bakersfield for the break made me realize how important and necessary it was for me to leave. The last 3 months have made me realize things about myself that i have been oblivious to and really gave me a reality check. From knowing when to shut my mouth (though i dont always do it), to helping out people in need, to planning a $14,000 party has really broadened my perspective on life. I probably shouldnt be writing all this shit while im drunk, but thats just how it goes  Wish i had pictures to post to illustrate all the good times ive had.

Lets go over the good times ive had during school/pledgeship:

1. My most definitive drunken moment: Mafia Madness, didnt know how i got home or how many times i threw up and had work at 9 am

2. Meeting and getting to know my best friends, my pledge bros, it really is a great feeling knowing that you can call 23 guys at any time of the day or night and KNOW that they have ur back no matter what.

3. becoming close with my brothers. David and Mike really are role models in my eyes. Balancing work, school, and just being a Tamjidi is definitely hard and they seem to have gotten the formula right.

4. Kappa Sigma, dont really know what to say other than the fact that I have really found my calling. People who say that 'frat guys buy their friends' don't know what it is to have real friends and something that you work for. I am waiting for that day...

Things i need to do this next quarter:

1. Get good grades.. i should have and really do know what it takes to get good grades. I am getting them next quarter

2. Get back into shape... haha dont know what else to say about that besides the fact that beer belly = no good.

3. enjoy life, we only live once, why waste time?

well im out and mb ill update this thing more often so i can look bakc on it more. To all my old friends i still love you guys, to all my new friends... there are definitely stories to make and stories to tell

*btw UCI pd is worthless

So as I constantly get more used to college life i realize that this is one of the last steps in which i completely and fully determine my own fate. Other than that i've loved every second of college and really havent had any regrets. im glad that the budget cuts, well thats what i blame it on anyway, didnt let me get into ucsd. I wouldve had fun and possibly a better education but i think that this is where i belong. From being sober a total of 4, maybe 5, nights since ive been here, pledging KAPPA SIGMA, and getting a job ive got a damn full plate.

To all my old friends that are stuck in bakersfield get the fuck out as soon as you can and live your life. That place ruins people and reall is nothing but a big dirt field. If theres one good thing about bakersfield its that i learned a lot about myself there. So i have no idea if any of this makes sense.... i was just at the gym for about 4 hours and have had very little sleep...

Stay cool my babies!...

So i really havent had time to update this thing but here i am at 2 am w/ class tomorrow. So ill update this thing in sections

1. Home: i do miss it and def. miss my parents but i think ive been ready for college for a long time and am going to live it up. Definitely dont love the heat and feel sorry for those stuck in it.

2. Dorms: the dorms are off the hook and luckily i got a kewl roomate and good friends. Feels good to know a lot of people and organize parties/go to all the parties that were not supposed to even have.

3. Welcome week: Wow is all i can say. 6 of 7

4. TJ: Ridiculous fun... dont remember it all... enough said.

5. College has brought me closer to my brothers and ive matured ten fold from where i was when i was a freshman in high school. Its crazy to think that David have a professional career in a year and mike and i are really on our way to becoming Doctors.

Unfortunately i dont have any pics bc the digi cam is out of comission =\

So im finally getting the pics up from our trip to pismo. It was definitely good times. From surfing to going to the worst club ive ever been to 'the grad' in pismo.

a little bit of pre partying with my good buddy jack. This made the food taste better and the women more beautiful.

oscar had fun too.

after being convinced that MO's had the best ribs i relucantly bought my $18 plate of ribs. They were good. Im sure Ears would agree ^ ^

Me after surfing for about 4 hours. Soon after this we found out that my truck battery died and had to be jumped.

Me, Oscar, and Ears after surfing all day.
