Every Monday morning, I reluctantly get out of my bed to prepare for the new week.

Every new week brings new experiences, headaches, joys, and/or projectile vomiting.

While I may not be able to fully anticipate everything that the new week has to offer, I believe an estimate of sorts, a scientific study per se, can be made on the outcomes of the week to come.

My hypotheis: “The future events of any given week may be predicted through the song selections played in one’s car during the Monday morning drive to work.”

Being the brave man that I am, I chose to play randomly shuffled songs on my way to work today to start off my brand new week. Here’s the analysis:

1. Eminem feat. Nate Dogg - Shake That

Ah, reminents from the previous Saturday night. Always a good way to start off a week by remembering what I did the previous week. If all goes well, life will work its magic and come full circle for the upcomming Saturday.

2. Boyz II Men - 4 Seasons of Loneliness

This one brought back the memories, brought them way back. I believe it is a precursor to events that will remind me of the good old High School days. Maybe I’ll eat a $2 cheese pizza? Maybe I’ll go to the Cupertino Library? Maybe I’ll get thrown in a trash can? Oh the excitment!

3. Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Around this time, I was contemplating turning off the shuffle feature as the selections were seemingly to get worse. However, I perservered and wanted to keep true to my science and trodded on. This behavior alone suggests that I will have to endure some pains (perhaps gay ones) this week, but I shall eventually overcome. Power to me!

4. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue

See? Things are already getting better

5. Train - Drops of Jupiter

This song makes no sense. Singing about “the best soy latte you ever had” might be perfectly clear to some people, but not to me. Either way, it’s a nice soothing song, which relates directly to the nice soothing off Friday I will have this week.

6. Angels and Airwaves - The Adventure

One of my favorite songs right now. And look at the title. “The Adventure”. Wow. I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to decipher this one here, but I’ll go out on a wild limb and guess that I will have an unexpected adventure this weekend. What could it be? The excitment is building!

7. Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone

Oh yeah, baby, that’s what I’m talking about! One could only ponder deeply and imagine the wonders I will see this weekend. An adventure of a lifetime I tell you! “The Adventure” into the “Danger Zone”! I can’t wait!

So there you have it, a detailed analysis through song and music on my entire week to come. Really, I don’t see how much more accurate this prediction can ever be. Now it’s just a matter of time for events to unfold before me.

Only thing I wonder though, is how retarded I looked driving into Lockheed’s campus, showing off my badge to the security guard, blasting “Danger Zone” on the stereo, and pretending that I was Maverick in my Honda Civic.

I’ve always been trying to gain weight and I think I have been going about it entirely wrong… After listening to John Tesh on 101.3 FM (shut up, I was channel surfing), I heard some stats I couldn’t believe, so I had to do some research for myself. Check out these stats of Starbucks coffees that probably everyone buys on a religious basis:

Yup, that’s 600+ calories for some of these drinks! That’s like more than a third of a whole day’s worth of calories that you need to survive. Granted that these stats are for Venti sizes, it still shows you why some people get fatter even though they swear they’re doing all the right things like eating salads. Hint: quit drinking your double mocha white chocolates espressos. One redeeming factor is that they got 18 grams of protein, that’s like 36% of your daily needs. Dang. I need to get one of those everyday.

Second on the list is Orange Juice. OJ you say? That really healthy drink that’s supposed to cure cancer and all that jazz? That’s right, orange juice seems like the devil when you take a look at the nutritional stats:

Yeah, only 110 calories right? Well… who the hell only drinks 8 fl oz. of anything? Lets double it to a “healthy” 16 fl. oz, which is probably pretty normal considering you can buy 32 fl oz sodas from just about any fast food joint. That’s 220 calories from basically all sugars. Sure, you get 240% of your daily needs of Vitamin C. Horray for you. To celebrate, why don’t you have another glass of good, nutritional OJ? Don’t blame me when you keel over from the 44 g of sugar. But for a guy like me, OJ everyday!

Last, I’d like to show you guys the nutritional content of something I’ve been ingesting for a while now:

Yup, protein shakes. One inbetween lunch and dinner, then another after dinner. It tastes like ass, but after you’ve eaten about 5lbs of ass, you’ll start to like it. Wait, that sounded kind of gross, but you get what I mean. Not to mention, I got another 5lb bottle coming up. Anyway, two cups of this stuff will give you 220 calories, 48g of protein and only 2 g of sugars. Not to shabby at all.

But whatever you do, don’t be like Anthony Gee and try one of these:

Even the commercial says it all…

Cusomter: “Hi, what’s good here?”
Worker: “The mashed potatos, the corn, the chicken”
Customer: “GIVE ME ALL OF THAT! LAYERED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER! I AM COMPLETELY RETARDED!!”

yUM.

It suits us perfectly that on the weekend which our many of our friends turn a quarter of a century old, that we enjoy the more sophisticated things in life.

For example, golfing. Freddy, Anthony, Ed and I went golfing last Saturday at Los Lagos in San Jose. Travelling in style in a pimped-out X5 with playing with pro-quality golfers must have topped off Anthony’s grand birthday weekend. His weekend included: (of course) staying at home, using coupons on the golf course to play for free, and shooting only 7 strokes better than a guy who’s only been to a REAL golf course twice (me). But I kid, he’s actually going to become a motorcycle riding buddy of mine real soon, so he’s cool in my book.

In the same weekend, Victor brought back FDC LA with a big bang to our quaint village of Cupertino. Through some “creative” planning he managed to get six of us together to eat at California Cafe in Los Gatos; a restaurant recommended by expert food connoisseur Julie (Victor’s Sister).

So thanks, Julie, for making the great recommendation, the Ahi Tune was great, a little overcooked, but really… we should get lunch sometime. Give me a call. Holla!
