Prance

Prance

Prance was probably the most successful one this year. Most of the people were dancing and overall we had made quite a bit for next year’s STUCO. Though I have to admit, being a STUCO president.. I probably wasn’t the best.. I mean I thought I could handle almost everything that was thrown at me, but I have a flaw in which I hate forcing and bugging people to do things. My way of thinking is that, I’m told once, I better do it and if I’m told again I’m screwed because I should have done it the first time. But I have come to realize that most people aren’t like that and that I as a president have to constantly be on them, telling them to get things done. If I could travel back in time, that is what I would do, plan everything out and have everyone be on time.

But anyways back to Prance, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing people enjoy themselves and encouraging people to go on stage and dance.

When I first woke up on the day of the prance I was already up early in the morning running around helping prepare for the big event. I went over to Amy's house and helped put the decorations in order and helped paint the back drop for the photography. Then after all of that was done, after about 7 hours, we headed over to PIC for last minute preparations and got all of the decorations in order. After that I headed home for a nice long hot shower.
After my shower I put on my best tux and then headed down to my Girlfriend's house to pick her up. Once I picked her up we went straight to 360 and had a nice romantic dinner together along with Amy and Abel and Mike and Shane.

If I had a Million dollars

     What would you do if you had a million dollars? If I had a million dollars I would first put half of it in the bank for safe keeping. Once half of it is in the bank I would use one fourth of the other million to go into tax exemption! WOOO! Because my dad has always taught me to do that if I ever won the lottery. Ultimately I would have 250,000 dollars to spend as I please. The first thing I would do is help my father pay off the house and all the other debt which leaves me probably around 100,000 dollars respectively. With that money I would put a 90,000 dollar down payment on a modest three bed room two bath two story house with a small Jacuzzi and a nice open backyard. Considering I would be an anesthesiologist at the time I would be able to live very comfortably with my wife and kids along with our pet dog. Nothing fancy will be going on within the house hold mainly because I don’t feel the need to have fancy fast cars or fancy brand name clothes. The simple compact economic car would do just fine along with a moderately fuel efficient truck. 

My favorite Season

seasons

My favorite season is... wait.  Wait a second.  There are no freaking seasons here.  There's just freaking hot season and freaking even hotter season.  So what the heck is this topic all about?!

Well... I guess out of the two seasons we have here, my favorite would be typhoon season.  That way the typhoon would come and we'd all get to skip school and go surfing.  And when typhoon season rolls around my mom stocks up on junk food and we get to eat it all and watch it pour outside.

For those of you who aren't in the know, Saipan's typhoon season runs from July to January - most of the nasty stuff happens in September and October though.  We're so relaxed about typhoons because 1, there's no way a tsunami would hit us because of the Marianas Trench, and 2, all of the buildings here are required to be made of concrete, so when it hits, we can barely feel it.

The worst that can happen is maybe some power outages and being stuck in the house for a day, but that's all not too bad.  I guess then I'll just have to talk to my family instead of logging ont to Facebook.  We turn on the radio, light candles, and cook pots and pots of soba on the gas burner.  The real big thing about the power outages that sucks would be the lack of water, which means flushing the toilet is limited to one flush per toilet, and then after that we have to find some water and manually put it in the toilet - otherwise we just hold it in.  But yeah, other than that it's fine.

It's kind of romantic, actually.  Being holed up in your house with candles burning and the rain hammering outside.  It's something that could definitely be used for some sort of novel or something; maybe I'll sell my typhoon stories with bored, suburbanite writers with lackluster lives, searching (and paying) for inspiration.

I wish we had all four seasons here, but I guess that would defeat the purpose of calling this place a "tropical island paradise".  In Georgia there will be some more variation, I think, but it still won't snow.  I'm thinking of going to my aunt's place in Oklahoma sometime this winter to make snow angels and such, but I'd definitely have to save up to go skiing anywhere.  Maybe I can get some people together and take a few trips, but who knows what will happen.

Only Song I Could listen to

Only Song

If I had to listen to one song for the rest of my entire life, I'd pick Beethoven's 9th Symphony.  Not because I listen to it all the time or anything, but because it's an epic battle song that people haven't gotten tired of for like 200 years.   200 years!  I mean, if it can stand that test of time, then I can certainly listen to it for a couple of decades.

Another nice thing about it is that it has no lyrics that will get old or repetitive to annoy me.  I mean, let's face it, the lyrics we hear now are probably going to be old in 10 years (aside from the Sinatras of our generation - if there are any).  Lyrics won't get stuck in my head, which is always a good thing.

Because it has no lyrics and it's like classical music, I can easily tune out of the symphony if I wanted to.  But that's only a good thing if I have to listen to the song on repeat forever - if not, I guess I could just turn off my iPod or whatever I'm listening with.

But I really hope I don't have to listen to only one song for the rest of my life.  Well, actually, I'm pretty sure I don't have to.  Instead, I get to listen to awesome bands like Foo Fighters, Panic at the Disco, the Civil Wars, and so on and so forth.  B)
