mi2d:
Peter and I were talking about how it’s been so long since we got straight A’s or completed all the readings for all our classes, and dang, we were definitely much more responsible students in high school lol.
(I have a feeling this is going to be a very long post, buuuuut let’s see where my…

brianmlopez:
I’m not one to bottle things up. I’m always open and honest with people and that extends to the internet.
But at the same time, I have learned there are some boundaries. When it comes to the more negative aspects of my life, I feel like I need to express them but I myself don’t want to come…

True, but i know i’ve said it before but this girl is something else. She’s something that i don’t know what to do with?

Life is short and so is my time before i move.
About 5 months left and i have so much to do and learn before I start another chapter in my life.
I’m not ready for this move yet so i’m making a list of things i should do and learn before i move.
If you think you can help by solving some of my items on the list or adding things that i might’ve forgotten to the list then hit me...

Work, Cougars, and skinny dipping
I’m moving in a few months to live by myself completely.
It’s all for work and I’m starting to freak out.
If you don’t know, my career that i am working towards is one in private investments and project development. Basically if you have a project you want done, i make your dreams come true. It’s something i’ve known i’ve wanted to do since i was...
Weekend Of Wonders
W.O.W
Friday - My homie Peter Le’s bday was dopetastic as we ate great thai food, fed him cake, and set off fire crackers. We got a police officer who only moments before was questioning us to go and take pictures of us. Great moments!
Saturday - Tet Festivals for new years, saw the “kids”, watched fireworks/firecrackers for an hour and blew out my ear drums, watched Anderson...
New: year, moments, and post?
Been a while since i’ve written a blog post so let me update you with things i’ve experienced since i’ve done anything here.
Some EXPERIENCES i’ve had
Great:
Learned valuable lessons about life from my big brothers Dante and Jaton
Got the chance to teach kids how to play sports
Experienced at least 10 moments since the last post
Named a 6’4 white guy...

mi2d asked: Screw you, E.T. But why'd you stop blogging? Have you started living your life to its fullest again?
...do i ever get a break?
First i start having memories come back to me, and now it seems like i can never outrun my past. asndalnjdadnjwkamawlja
Moments
I just changed the meaning of my blog for the umpteenth time and i must say. WTF E.T.
Seriously, first it was about stupid things, then it was about alcohol, then it was about just plain ol me, then it was something else, and now it’s about one thing…moments.
I’m not plain, i’m not that knowledgeable about alcohol, and i live way to much of my life to write about...
Turned my swag on.
been a long while since I’ve felt this good.
Closed 2010 by wrapping up loose ends and dropping all my baggage.
Opened 2011 with perhaps one of the most fun times i’ve ever had on new years.
I’m back on a new path
I have a new car
I have new goals
and my spirit just feels refreshed and new.
I started the year off ghost riding a bird cage with a girl in it.
Yea, that...

Do me a favor and start this post off by playing “Never Forget you - Lupe Fiasco”
Aight now that we got that over with, let me introduce you to one of the main reasons i’m alive and have my soul intact. Outside of my immediate blood related family, i don’t think anybody has made a bigger impact on who i am today and who i can become in the future more then Bill Menafra.

hell naw
NO DELETING POSTS.
That was the real deal.

Day 27- why are you doing this 30 day challenge
I originally started this because i needed motivation to start my blog.
huzzah.
Day 25- what i would find in your bag
don’t carry one, but in my backpack?
laptop.
Day 24: A letter to your parents
Dear Bo (dad),
You were powerful, you were respected, you were viewed by some as a god…literally.
Yet to me you’re still nothing. I can never forgive you.
thank you for teaching me that nothing in life or hell can ever stop me.
Dear Me (mom),
I owe my life, sanity, and soul to you. Some families are close, but i still think not many can comprehend the bond that i share with you...
Give my friend a great XMAS
Hey all,
I love Xmas because it means family time. I love my family and i’m sure many other people do too. However, my friend Amanda misses her family and can’t see them. You see Amanda is from Fresno, but is currently living in San Jose. Her car broke down and i’d have let her borrow my car except today of all days, my transmission has blown out. I’m not even kidding as...
I have every major album that has come out since...
9+ gigs… wow
an oblivious dumbass. Oh wait that's me?
Back in the day i was pretty oblivious and careless with my actions. I didn’t really give a damn or i was just plain blind to the situation.
some of these was because this was before i realized I was the type a person someone would say had a way with words, so that when people were hitting on me or were nice to me. I’d only see it as them acting normal like me and not liking me.
...
Day 23: Something you crave for a lot
someplace where i can’t get bored and that fits in with my personality and skill set.
I'm all about Public Diplays of Affection
Seriously i am.
I love going out in public and letting the whole world know that i’m sprung on my girl so bad that the A/C always has to be on around me cause she always has me melting.
I’ve grabbed the mic/stage in front of 80+ people and announced how some girl was the apple of my eye.
I’ve gone on rants where out in public i’d stand like one of those crazy people...
Day 22: What makes you different from everyone...
I’m a leader.
i’m straightforward
eccentric to the max
and i leave everything on the table.
theres more, but i like to talk face to face for hours so hit me up if u want more
Day 21- a picture of something that makes you...
Finally i caught up to Delos. we started on the same day so i used him as a marker as when to stop.
something that makes me happy is feeling useful. Doing something that makes all the awkwardness in the room leave and allows everybody around me to just be in good spirits.
recently it was Emceeing the APALI show. Lately i haven’t been as positive as i could have been and when Jim Nguyen...
Day 20- someone you see yourself marrying/being...
Marrying? long term?
No one. nobody has really caught my attention yet. I’m a pretty complex guy for someone so straightforward so i guess this person has to either be as crazy as me so that i don’t get bored of them, or so stable that they are able to absorb my randomness and accept me.
I feel like i’m hard person to deal with on the long term, but a great person to be friends...
Day 19- nicknames you have; why do you have them
Well…I guess everyone would expect me to put E.T. since it isn’t my birth name, but if you knew how i got my name then you’d basically know that i haven’t really had any exposure to my other name.
Right after i was born my sister Bambi came into the hospital room and said i looked like E.T. and bam a few hours after i was conceived my name was E.T.
but nick names...
Day 18- plans/dreams/goals you have
I wish to start my own company which i can push to be successful financially, so that i can pursue my dreams/goals of making sure that everybody on the planet smiles at least once from their soul per year. I realize that with depression striking many people in the world on a daily basis along with people being in just horrible conditions throughout the world that if everybody would be able to...
Day 17- someone you would want to switch lives...
I don’t really have anyone that i would want to switch lives with for a day because i feel like my life is pretty entertaining on a minute to minute basis as is…BUT if i have to choose i guess it’d be Richard Branson because he’s the closest thing we have to the most interesting man in the world in real life. He could get away with doing anything and just be told “oh...
Day 16- another picture of yourself
Heres a recent pic of me at the APALI reunion.
Day 15- put your ipod on shuffle: first 10 songs...
I have hella songs on my comp. I haven’t even heard some of them yet either. so :D
Day 14- a picture of you and your family
Day 13- a letter to someone who has hurt you...
Hey punk bitch,
In my whole life I’ve been raised to be loyal to my family and my homies. We used to be close and i considered you a brother. for me that means something, because once you’re in my family i drop all my filters with you and i speak my mind, heart, and soul with you. I thought it meant something to you as well, but i guess it didn’t. what you did to me was dirty....
Day 12- how you found out about tumblr and why you...
My friends had one.
My friend iman made one for me and was supposed to write it for me in the third person. i.e. Today E.t. did this…
She got lazy
I finally got bored and realized i can’t talk smack about blogging unless i tried it myself.
Day 11- another picture of you and your friends
I have 1100+ friends on facebook and i know every single one of them. i’ve met them all and we’ve all shared a moment.

Day 09- something you’re proud of in the past few...
I was the emcee for the APALI Reunion/open mic show. I’m happy that i was able to go on with the show even though i felt like crap.
Day 08- short term goals for this month and why
Short Term Goals:
Xmas Gifts

Day 7: Day 07- a picture of someone/something that...
I’ve bEEN HELLA BEHIND With this stuff. so my bad, but yea i’m bored and awake so i’ma try to catch up :D.
My mom has made the biggest impact in my life. She’s literally saved my life and soul on numerous occasions and i owe everything i am today and everything i can be to her.
I'm into girls with looks
I love girls with good looks.
You’re probably thinking i’m shallow and thinking about a girls physical appearance, but i’m not talking about those looks.
I’m talking about that look a girl has when she enters a room smiling and it’s so contagious that everybody notices it and reciprocates.
I’m talking about that look a girl gives you when she catches you...
Hiiii. You are not online so I’ll leave this here:
This is what I do with my face:

Hey everybody this is the 1st post for my “Have it on Hand” section. This is where I’m going to post drinks that i think you should always have on/near you.
#1: Lambrusco Dell’emilia Bianco Dolce Le Grotte
This drink is just deliciousness on a budget. My first time having this was at my brother Dante’s beach house for labor day. I must say that at 10-11 in the morning...
Lightweight drinker...
So i passed out last night after having a bottle of Blue Moon. Since then i’ve been thinking about what commonly happens to me when i drink.
I’m a cheap date.
I can go to bars with $10 and be good for the rest of the night.
I’ve had my keys taken away from me after drinking half a beer…
Part of my 21st birthday was a bowling event that involved 70+ people, a...
Krazy Kids Radio
My big sis Miso has a radio show called Krazy Kids Radio. I’ma visit her on Tuesday :D
There is only one thing i can say about this.
Every post will have this picture in it!
I feel like this pic can be associated with anything and still rock.
