olympics and LA...

well i havent been really keeping up with the olympics this year but i catch some here and there at nite. it was sad to see nodar khokhobashvili end the way he did. training so hard for that one moment and then its gone in less than a minute. i totally respect his teammate for dropping out. i dont think the country of georgia will be mad. training together kinda makes u family. making the fastest course shouldnt always be the goal. safety first. it was only realized after a tragedy happened.

on another note. congrats to ohno and celski for making the podium after the south koreans made a boo-boo. it was funny though hahaha. dont get greedy! by the way i think celski is cute haha. sven kramer is hot from the nederlands. dunno what he skated in but i just saw him pop up on tv. something about winter and rosy cheeks makes anyone adorable hahaha. ok ill stop.

sorry i havent updated in a few days. i left the winter snow and went to visit my friend in LA. hes jobless now. before he had a job he was doing extra work. he wanted to be an actor. i mean doesnt every person LA want to be one?? the funny thing is everyone expects to make it one day but most people dont realize it takes more than just hope. u gotta bust ure butt and train in everything. u gotta be multitalented. well he did alot of background extra stuff hoping to get recognized. for those who dont know what that is its when u pretend to socialize or do something the director asks in the background. yea those rnt just random people in the back of the shows u watch. they hire them to pretend to drink coffee, laugh at unfunny jokes, pick their nose and so on. y would i know? i did a bit in college. not cuz i wanted to be a actor really. well i did have a dream to be in a GAP and Target commercial haha. watch them and tell me they dont make u smile. its always so cheery and clever. plus it was just another thing to try on boring weekends. i dont think my friend has that "it" factor. im not saying i have the it factor but i got chosen about 2-3 times out of a crowd for bigger scenes with the main actors. now i dont think i can act. im good at being myself hahaha. i think its cuz i didnt care if i got it but when i did it was super fun! desperation doesnt really work too well in hollywood.

hes still my friend and i support him but its weird that he wants it so bad. sometimes it reminds me of those people on american idol who sound like banshees and believe they r the best. like is that even possible to believe u r the best??? he lost his real job and kinda just bums around now. i wish he would go make himself useful but im not his dad. hes kinda just living off his sister now. i can only say so much before sounding like a nagger.

we went hiking in a few canyons. alot of eating and walking. i made him walk. LAers depend on their cars alot haha. theres more but i dont feel like typing the whole shabang again cuz i told someone cool in a long email already hahaha ;)

today was valentines day. i didnt have a valentine obviously and im still in LA. we went to knotts berry farm. i was excited cuz i love fresh things. it turned out to be an only an amusement park hahaha. it was still cool. not huge and not too packed. we rode the silver bullet and some cheesy train thing. the rest of the time was just alot of walking. i missed the live snoopy show! i was actually dissapointed. oh well. i had no idea it was all charlie brown themed there. o yea they had some carnival games. theres this one thats similar to the one at six flags where u have a gun and a big ball at the end of the pistol and u try to knock down three plastic cups. u can tell the cups r bottom heavy. well at six flags i won three times in a row. at separate booths cuz they only allow one win per day cuz its the biggest of all prizes. i thought it was easy hahaha. FBI here i come right? WELL the one at knotts was similar except when i paid and pulled the gun up it only came up a few inches. i was like "what? i have to squat?" the guy was like yea. so basically the only way to hit it is to make the ball arch up and fall onto the cylinders. RIGGED! well after the 1st three balls i figured it out but decided not to play again. i came back about an hour later and had to get used to it again. i hit two cups with the 2nd and 3rd ball. i pay one more time. now he spreads the cups further apart. that would mean there wouldnt be enough force to hit all three now. i already knew he didnt want me to win. i knocked over two on the 1st, two on the 2nd and on the 3rd one it hits smack in the middle but it dinked the cups and bounced off. RIGGED. i actually had an audience going AWWWWW each time i hit two and the last one i got a huge AWWWW. the prize was a guitar. no wonder y they didnt want me to win. i know i could have! cheaters hahahaha. after $15 i walk away and didnt turn back. im going back to six flags where i dont have to squat. ill take my giant stuffed Taz over that any day. no i want that guitar hahaha.

there was this one area called the country dancing area or something. it was cute watching the lil kids. they were playing pop/R&B songs which was odd seeing the cowboy dressed people who work there dance to them. they taught everyone who wanted to dance some simple moves. i thought of going but it was more entertaining watching. some kids got scandalous with their hip popping. one blonde kid who mustve been eight looked like he was in the making to become the next chip n dale dancer. i was like "where do these kids learn that from???" it was funny though.

we left and then he wanted to eat at some restaurant. it turned out to be somewhat fancy and everyone was dressed up. what am i wearing? a hoody and shorts with sneakers. greaaaaaat. sexy right? its ok though. i think i saw some actress there. i couldnt remember her name but she was looking nice. i think she was on those CW shows. she switched tables along with her man three times. snob! haha jk they can do what they want. it didnt affect me.

wheres my valentine? i want someone special to hug me. i guess it didnt matter. i was trying to cheer up my jobless friend haha. theres always next year. 365 more days. ::sigh::

oh yea. so i was in vancouver right before the olympics. the olympics rnt even in vancouver! i wish they gave more credit to whistler but i guess everyone would be like "what??? whistler winter olympics 2010. wth???" hahaha. its really really far up north and its cold.

i was gonna end it with something. i dont remember what though! i have the olympics on right now. im more of a summer olympics fan but winter has its moments. later.
