Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

okay.... so something cool happened tonight. finally met up with Theresa whom i haven't seen in the longest time! she's this really cool girl that goes to Cal State Fullerton. i met her many years ago at these biology lectures at UCI. i got graphing calculator games from her then. i still have 'em today. you do not know how many times i've played those games to pass away the time! thanks theresa... i really appreciate it... seriously... you don't know how much those games've helped me. and yeah... she kicked my ass at tetris... she's pro and i bet she'll beat all y'all that'll challenge her.
so something weird happened tonight. went to rite-aid, as usual, with marie. coming back from there, got pulled over by a cop. the reason: missing a front license plate and illegal tints on my windows.
but i moded the pig
[me] "but i have stock tint."
he checks
[cop] "oh!"
[me] {smug} **MODED TRICK!!**
so... about the missing license plate
[cop] "i know it's not cool to put one on a 300Z, but i have one on mine..."
of course... i have to ask what year
[cop] "a '93."
[me] "is it..."
before i even finish asking
[cop] {smug} "yes... it's twin turbo"
[me] {jealous} **BITCH!!!**
he goes returns from doing the background check thing
[cop] "let you off with a warning..."
[me] **COOL!!** "so what do you have on your 300Z" - now that the business is done...
[cop] "17 inch chrome rims, stillen suspension, stillen exhaust...o"
basically... it's a hooked up ride. we rap for a while... the details would only bore you more.
the moral of the story? put on that front license... HELL NO! you can always write off that ticket.
the moral is... cops suck. they scare you just to brag about their ride.
