Only Jackasses Win In Monopoly…

Posted in Uncategorized on May 2, 2009 by martinitram

This is my schedule wednesday and thursday:
Wednesday, wake up and get to kevin’s house around 8 and play monopoly with kevin, bao, and saurav. Go to school, get back to kevin’s around 3 and play more monopoly with kevin and saurav till 6, play 13 till 7, then go home.

Thurssay, go to kevin’s around 8 and play monopoly with kevin, saurav, bao and nam. Go to school, and get back to kevin’s around 4 and play monopoly with kevin, audrey, saurav, and nam till 6, play 13, then go home at 7.

Who hasn’t heard of Monopoly? Heck, everyone has heard of the game, and a lot of people think it’s boring and repetitive. But it doesn’t have to be…

Monopoly is, as Kevin says, a game that shows who the true jackasses are, and unsurprisingly, it’s true.

To me, this is what a game of monopoly is:
You set up the board and argue with the guy who knows the game the most(bao) about how much money you start out with. You then proceed to roll the dice to determine who goes first, and you start the game. After a while, the person who passes “Go” first begins collecting as much property as they can, and the evil banker(saurav) yells at them and refuses to give them their $200 salary. We buy up as many properties as we can, and we call the person with the most properties a jackass and we all antagonize them. We make deal that include immunity from rent, we cheat players our of their property, and we lie in order to avoid paying rent. We exploit the weaker player and milk them of their property. We make alliances and kiss major ass to please the super-power. We spent more itme screaming and arguing with each other than actually playing. Jail is not the place to be in the beginning of the game, but is the only safe place after all of the property is bought up. With this, playing monopoly is an interesting experience, as all the true jackasses show their faces… *COUGHSAURAVCOUGH*
XD

How to win in monopoly

  • Make friends with the most powerful person as soon as possible.
  • When someone more powerful than you lands on your property, pretend not to see, but make it clear that you granted them safe passage.
  • Twist people’s words as much as you can to get away with not paying rent.
  • Lie, Lie, Lie…
  • Exploit the weaker player.
  • When the board is bought up, “There is no place like jail”
  • Trade property with others when nobody else is looking so that they can’t intefere.
  • If you see someone trying to buy/trade property,  do all in your power to prevent them from getting it.

Monopoly is basically a game where the most unethical player wins and the honest person loses… That seems like reality to me!!

A Ride on the Creepy Express

Posted in Uncategorized on December 17, 2008 by martinitram

I woke up in my bed, but there was something wrong with me. I felt as though my waking up was a dream, I felt light headed and the atmosphere in my room was oddly depressing. I got showered and got dressed, thinking i would feel better afterwards, though that never happened. I suddenly noticed that i had not heard from my parents, my sister, or my grandma, so after searching around the house, I found nothing. It was 9, and when I looked outside, I looked outside, I saw that the sky was red, and I was scared.

I gathered my wits to go outside, hoping for a reasonable solution, but was only met with dead bodies scattered everywhere. I then saw a group of people running with all their might away from what sounded like a motor. The car drove up to them and a cannister was hurled from the window which exploded into a reddish gas. The people dropped dead, and I stood speechless.

I woke up again in a dim room on a chair that looked like something one would expect from a horror film. It was a small dirty room that looked to be the interior of a wooden tool shed. There was a single light bulb on on the ceiling shining its dim lights in front of me, revealing something that looked like a used wooden desk dirty from years of abuse and several blood stains. There was a single window to my left, and when I looked out, I realized that it must have been a run down or abandoned apartment because It seemed that i was on the 10th floor. The sky was still red, along with the clouds, and everything looked worn down and dirty. The blood-light shined on my whole body and the desk. To mr right was yet another worn object, a splintered door that was closed, but not completely. Outside i could hear a humming noise that sent chills down my spine. As i looked around, I saw a coat stand that was knocked over with several arms broken off, a closet with a door broken off, revealing a shotgun, and a lone feroda in the middle of the room, on top of a puddle of murky water. I expected myself to be chained to the chair, but my arms and legs were free, and I decided to search the desk. I grabbed the splintered handle of the lone desk drawer and pulled out. Surprisingly, it opened and even more surprisingly, inside was a pistol resting atop of an empty peice of paper. I grabbed the pistol and the shotgun from the closet and walked towards the door.

As I opened the door, I sensed a rancid smell. Looking around, I discovered that I was now in a staircase to my left, and in front of me was an open door with a large window in view. This window, however, did not shine a blood-like light through the room, but a bright yellow one. I looked down the staircase only to find that it was covered in a brown substance that covered almost everything in this place. It looked like dirt mixed with dried blood, and rust all together.

Scurrying footsteps came from the opposite room and out leaps a man running towards me. I pulled out my gun and shot thrice; his body crumpled not 2 meters from my feet. He was wearing a blach suit and his hat had matched that in the room that I awoke in. right after slaying my assailant, I saw someone staggering up the stairs to my left. The man looked relieved to see me, he too had a gun in his hand, and he was bleeding. He came up to me, said nothing, but i knew that we were in the same situation. He looked like a strong teenager, the same age as me, wearing nothing but a pair of jeans.

I was about to say something, but I was interrupted by more scurrying footsteps. We unleashed a hail of bullets towards the unknown men running towards us from the opposite room as well as the stairs now. We retreated to my room and closed the door.

I then awoke in my bed to my alarm clock. It was 6:03.

Well…

I hope you guys enjoyed my little nightmare from 2 nights ago. Normally, I wouldnt remember any of my dreams, but for some reason, this one was vivid in my mind. It’s a bit creepy, but I think it means something.

Anyone care to take a guess? =D?

It’s 12:55 on a sunday morning, and i just finished the bulk of my homework, but when i got to math, i just said, “Screw this, its too much. I’ll do it later!”

XD

Its a little too late to post this, but better late than never!
My dad rejected all of my dog names… Except for Fenix and Shakuras. So i chose Fenix, which is the name of a 379 year old protoss warrior who was crippled. XD It doesnt seem to respond to the name, though, and we’ve been calling it that for a couple weeks now.
ah well, it’s getting big!

Next week, i have SAT’s along with a bunch of friends. I havents studied since summer…
I’m screwed
XD

“Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment (”you’re it”). You can’t tag the person who tagged you.

so… I’ve been tagged which means that i need to spill out 16 peices of information about myself.

1. I just got back from Garden Grove not 4 hours before writing this blog.

2. I used to play the piano, but now i despis playing it. Listening to it is okay =D.

3. I am not gay.

4. Contrary to what a lot of people think of me, i am not BI either…

5. I am a misanthropist!

6. I am not that much of a patriot… D=

7. I drive stick and i LOVE IT!!

8. I like to touch Saurav =D.

9. Right now, I’m listening to Make Your Own Kind Of Music by Mama Cass Elliot.

10. I watched Ikusa Otome Suvia and actually thought that some of it was true about norse mythology. Such as that ogres, led by loki, imprisoned odin and raped all the valkyries… >.> My cousins just laughed at me when i told them… But whats even weirder, is that one of them watched it already…

11. I just recently got addicted to Code Geass by my cousins in LA… Damn them. I was supposed to work this year, not get addicted to anime!

12. I always get scared of the darkness after watching scary movies…

13. I have an extremely short fuse… I mean seriously. I have developed a case of road rage where i would curse at everyone going slower that i am. XD

14. I am a very romantic person, or so teresa tells me, even more than her =D.

15. I am single . *wink* to all you fine ladies out there who need a lil’ lovin’=D haha

16. Although my friends may say that i am the least religious person they know… I believe that after we die, we get reincarnated into anohter life form, either on this earth, or another planet, or another universe, ora nother dimension. =o…

Anyways, I gotta do my homework now…XD
BYE!=D

FINALLY!!!

Posted in Uncategorized on August 19, 2008 by martinitram

How long has it been?
A month?
2?
Haha, Well… Summer is almost over! And i have yet a packet of AP CALC and AP GOV. summer work to do.XD

Lets see what is on my homework list:
Math packets – 1%
Read Hardball – 100%, *but it was a fucking bitch to read the damn book… Soooooo boring. The prick could fit all of his “lessons” in less than 10 pages, and yet he decides to extend it on to 224 pages and give pointless stories that i could care less to hear. But then of course… that is just my opinion. Others may have enjoyed the book, and i have one thing to say to you: SCREW YOU!!!!! =D*
Keep Up With Current Presidential Events – 10%
AP GOV Vocab – 0%, I didn’t even look at it…

And to top it all off? I have an internship with an architect…
I have a LOT of work to do in a week…
Well, working with my architect mentor is interesting. The methods of the trade is fun and amusing, although that mentality may change after 30 years of doing the same thing. XD

***********

Recently, I went to LA with Teresa for 5 days and what can i say but these two words: GOD DAMN!!!!!!
The trip was SOOO FUN! I arrived at my uncle’s house where i was going to be staying the first and fourth night of my arrival around 6 after getting lost and teresa’s dad, being a grumpy person at times like this didnt help. He would stop to ask for directions, but would only follow half of the directions before giving up and stop and ask for new directions… >.>
But whatever. The next day, we went to a gigantic garden of flowers to explore only to find a mountain of barren wasteland. Apparently, the garden is going to open in october… =O
After, I had a fun time in the ocean splashing around salty water which was loaded with gold flakes… Or at least thats what my uncle told me… XD
Later that night was the long awaited moment…
I would be staying with my cousin Tommy and his sister Nancy along with Teresa for the next 2 nights. This is how it works: I go to LA, i stay at tommy’s house, we play games for hours on end until its time for me to go home. Over the next 2 days, we played 18 hours of metal gear solid 3, saw the Shadowless Sword, The Exorcism of Emily Rose(Both at night around midnight) and saw tropic thunder in theaters!

Metal gear solid 3 was so far one of the best games i have ever played. The plot was even more awesome. It was deep and very touching with a splash of humor! The ending made me feel great sorrow for the main character Snake. But nevertheless, it was a great game. The original plan was to beat MGS 3 and then go on to MGS 4. True to our word, we DID beat MGS 3, but at the cost of not being able to truly experience the gaming experience of MGS 4. I only got to play 30 minutes of the game and i was in awe. The graphics were GODLIKE and everything else was awesome. There were only 2 flaws: they changed the control scheme which got kind of annoying, and THERE WERE NO JAPANESE VOICE-OVERS!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!! the disk is freaking 50 gigs and you cant even fit in the japanese voices???? i refuse to listen to a dubbed japanese game!!!!!!! T_T

Oh well…

18 hours… that beat our last record of 15 XD

OH! and in case you were wondering…

the last 2 posts were by teresa, not me

i still love you all though

=D

The real me

Posted in Uncategorized on July 26, 2008 by martinitram

Welcome back, world, from my hiatus.

I like engaging in animalistic sexual acts with infants and monkeys of various species.  I also like dressing up in purple or magenta colored clothing and adorning myself with make-up from Victoria’s Secret, after all, I am a woman trapped inside the hideous body of a man.  I am in love with Saurav.  I am also in love with looking at myself in the mirror wielding my 3 ft gun, thinking, “Gosh, Marcoto [Yes, this is a name I have made for myself.] you look damn sexy in that blue bikini and straw hat.  Angelina Jolie has nothing on me.”  I also like mentally and physically torturing my cousin by sitting on her and trying to insert phallic objects through the roughness of her jeans pockets.  That is my fetish.  I also harbor a dream of becoming skinny one day, well, skinnier at least.  I do this by having my cousin sit on me.  Skinny, here I come.  Who cares for Jenny Craig’s overused and simplistic diet tactics?  For Weightloss’s guaranteed, well, weight loss?  For exercising?  I like driving around on my metallic chrome car, sleek, powerful, and like my Latino lover?  it drives so hard and rough, but I like it that way.  I also like maneuvering the stick shift, if you know what I mean.  On days where I feel unloved by this cold heartless world we live in, I blast the volume on my computer, turn to Adam Levine’s sexy masculine voice, almost mimicking that of MJ’s and hum myself to a tearful dreamy sleep.  He comforts my soul with his words of understand, O!  if only you were gay, Adam Levine.  And to my secret lover…I love you!  Saurav, will you never be mine?!

- Marcoto.  A defeated fighter.  A lost lover.  A searching soul.

PS.  Teresa is totally fucking awesome and you should all build a shrine made of diamonds and baby heads to worship her.

Leaving!

Posted in Uncategorized on June 29, 2008 by martinitram

Thats right!

I’m leaving to go to New York for about 8 days? Not sure how many though.

Although, i didn’t even want to go in the first place… >.>

i would rather much stay home and chill there.

I’ve already been to New York, and it was exciting, but not very fun…

And worst of all, my Zune broke, so now i have nothing to put me out of my misery when i get there. D=

At least i have homework… Never thought i would EVER say that… >.>

Lets see… Eddie’s math worksheets, Citizenship crash course curriculum, Read Hardball, Learn AutoCad… and Calculus… If things go as expected, i should finish by the third day of the trip…

XD

JK haha

i plan to have fun there and get at least SOME work done!

Leaving Sunday night/Monday morning, I’m not sure, but my parents say that flights that leave around that time are cheap… >.>

On to other news…

Architecture internship!

Need i say more? =D!

yay!

OH!

Saurav told me about something called “laminin” and that a lot of people think that it is the work of “god” or something… >.>
All right,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e4zgJXPpI4
First, its role in our body is to hold together our DNA.
Second, its shaped like a cross.
Third, there seems to be no argument to explain the shape(to the extent of my knowledge).
So, it MUST be the work of god!

>.>

*sigh*

As the guy says, there are between 10-16 thousand proteins in the human body, giving him the benefit of the doubt that is, and one of them, laminin, is shaped like a cross…

There is shit in our bodies shaped like X’s, Y’s, O’s, etc(Chromosomes and cells for those of you who are uneducated). And NOW, when they find something that is shaped like a cross, or as i would rather say, a t, they automatically assume that it is the symbol of a cross, and therefore, proof of god…

Okay… if i hold out my arms, i look like a cross, so does that mean that i have just proven the existence of god?

So…

Delusional much?

Anyways, I’m eager to “express” my thoughts on this topic even further…. But its 12:34 right now, and i’m sleepy… XD

Night!

A Mere Taste of Summer

Posted in Uncategorized on June 23, 2008 by martinitram

Sunday went past by fairly quickly, such a shame. haha

I learned a couple of interesting things at oakridge, but many things i would prefer not to know…

Like Christine’s brother, according to her, hates any guys that she hangs out with… And this is just be first impressions, but he seriously looks like he is pissed off and WILL kill you…>.> I’m scared…  *This i did not want to know*

And that Marcus has very short hairs on his arms, which isn’t very weird, but what makes it weird is that Vikki has an obsession of trying to pluck them out…  *This i did not want to know either*

That Eddie has LIED to his mom! =O! I did not know that he was capable of such things!!!!! *This i was surprised to learn!*

That Bao, Christine, and I went bra shopping with Vikki… >.>? *YOU did not need to know that*

And vikki’s ___ ____ is __b…  *Well… lets just say that some things are better left unsaid and that you do NOT want to know… Except you David, you may want to know… XD*

Lets hope that this is JUST the tip of the iceberg of our summer agenda guys!’

=D

Bye bye guys!
