Hey hey!  You are...THE WEAKEST LINK.  Goodbye.  Haha.  I like that show jahnkes.  Funny British woman host.  Goods tough.  So how was everyone's last day of April?  Hope it was goods tough.  Nothing special for me.  Other than the fact that i woke up at Noon, phone rang at 12:15pm, and it turns out my cousin from the Philippines is in town for the day, and i have to pick him up at Horton Plaza.  No time for shower, throw on some deodorant and some clothes, and go pick him up.  It was cool seeing him.  I barely knew him, but he knew me when i was a little kid when we went to the Philippines.  So that was nice.  Just wish i could've had a little more notice.

I'm in one of those lazy moods again...as always.  I have homework to do and i'm sitting here writing to you guys who read this, and watching The Weakest Link.  Damn lazy moods.  By the way, i have been getting a lot of mysterious hits lately, so please sign the guestbook or email me, especially that person from Kentucky.

The weekend was pretty good.  Happy Birthday again to cousin Joey!  The party was a success, don't you think.  Although it could have been better if The Party from Mickey Mouse Club was there, haha.  It was great to see people that i haven't seen in a long time, and it shows that even though you haven't seen  or talked to people in a long time, you can still have a good time because of a connection you once had.  Goods tough.  Good party, Joey. And my hamburgers are always the best.  Haha.

Oh yeah i bought new shoes too.  Check them out here...sign the guestbook and tell me what you think.  Yay for the 80s.

OK everyone, have a great rest of the week.  Thanks for reading.

Hi. Monday night...means update haha.  Dang, been getting a lot of hits within the past week because of all that interesting stuff i had been writing.  That's great to see...but the wave of hits has slowed and its back to regular normal web page life for the Home of Mart Jahnkes.  But i'd like to say this...I am very glad to see some people actually took into thought what i had to say about life and i hope that it helps make them better people.  It also made me pretty happy that i had some people contact me that i haven't talked to since i graduated high school because of my web site.  By the way, hi guys.  Hehe.  Wow, what a web page can do hehe.

Ok guys, enough of this deep stuff.  Back to the stupid stuff that Mart Jahnkes is known for, hahaha.

I woke up at 4am this morning, and first thing i said to myself was "Mart Jahnkes you are insane."  Why did i wake up at 4am, to walk/jog 5 miles around Miramar Lake with my brother and my cousin.  Why did i do that, here's why.

I think it was Friday night, I looked at myself as i like to do, hehe, but this time with no shirt on.  And i realized something drastic, I'm freakin fat.  haha.  Damnit.  Sucks.  So i jumped up and down, looked like David Hasselhoff running on the beaches of Baywatch.  I'm like shoot, i really need to work out now.  So Saturday went to my sister's house in Menifee.  Yeah, you never heard of that place cuz its not on the map, its just a little bit past Temecula.  So i weigh myself on their scale, cuz our scale at home is broken.  160 freakin pounds.  Where did those 10 pounds come from?!  I'm supposed to be 150.  I weight 130 as a sophomore in high school, the last time i worked out regularly hahaha.  Damn.  Sucks.  So i'm talking to CJ online about this.

MART JAHNKES : so i thought about running miramr lake
cjay6 1 9 : hahhahahaha
cjay6 1 9 : uh huh
MART JAHNKES : then i remember last time i walked miramar lake and i got sore

MART JAHNKES : haha that would make for a good entry
cjay6 1 9 : hahahahhahahahahhahahahahah
cjay6 1 9 : seee 

Yeah, so I walked/jogged 5 miles this morning.  Damn it actually felt good.  Goods tough, felt so good, i'll be at it again tomorrow morning before i leave for school.  Yaha, i'm getting my working out mentality back.  Sort of.  This morning after i got home from running, i ate breakfast and then fell asleep for 5 hours, and woke up at 1pm.  Haha, i guess it takes some time.

Oh kay, i've still got some underwear and clothes to fold, then i gotta get some sleep to run again in the morning.  Aight Jahnkes.

Hi.  Wednsday night, 11pm.  I got Econ hw to do still.  Damn.  But  i feel i need to say this.  I have been getting some heat lately for making fun of typpies. If you don't know what a typpie is...see the definition here.  Seems the argument i have been getting is "why do i care about them?  why do i have to care about what they are doing?  Why dont i just let them do their own thing?"  Answers:  Number 1:  I care because they are asian, and according to typpies we have "asian pride" right.  Well they put off a negative image for the Filipino/Asian culture which i happen to be a part of.  Number 2:  I care about what they do because they put off a very negative image for the filipino/asian culture.  Number 3:  I do let them do their own thing because, hell i dont talk to them directly.  If i did, i most likely wouldnt get much of a conversation.  

Counterarguments:  Whoever poses those above questions, why do you care enough about them to defend them?  And if you're so content with the idea of "leaving people alone and letting them do their own thing," why not just everyone stop socializing and let everyone do "their own thing."

Typpies conform to what every other Asian is doing because they want to be "cool," they want to fit in.  That's how things get typical.  I understand that everyone goes through a period of conformity and trying to fit in.  I went through it, all my friends went through it.  But my point is that, first of all, its fun to watch people go through a time where they are going to do things they are going to look back on and think "why the hell did i do that?"  That's why our parents laugh at us and some of the things we do.  Second, most important, is that maybe if i can let people be aware of the typpie-ness, i can help them change and become better people, and make the world a better place.

If anyone is offended, sorry.  But look, the truth hurts.  But hey, knowing the truth, helps make you a better person, so think about it that way.  If everyone could just learn to accept the truth, the world would really be a better place.  Something i learned in high school.  And to those of you who i did have arguments with directly, i don't mean to offend you, you are my very good friends, but please think about what i have said.  Thank you.  Please take time to read yesterday's entry too.  Take care.

Thank you for caring enough about me to read what i have to say.

Mart Jahnkes.

Hi.  How's everyone?  Today, Wednesday was nothing significant, woke up at 1pm, went to the bookstore, bought the Teen People with the 25 Hottest Stars under 25, and ate some Carl's Jr. 

Anyway, got back to the dorm, opened up my Super Star ready to eat.  Then after some conversing, arguing about why my friend doesn't want to go to a strip club with us this weekend. my friend says he's gay.  Obviously i think he's joking.  But after a while i think he's kinda serious.  So i look up on Google "How do i know i'm gay" and send him a bunch of links.  I'm all "you reading those man?"  He says yeah, so i'm thinkin about this the whole day.  After a while, after he sends me some pics of girls, more talk, i go "Hey man, are you really serious about this gay stuff?  Cuz you're confusing me."  He goes "hahaha i'm kidding man."  Shit.  Then he got mad at me for actually believing him ha!  That's what he gets for toying with me.  Loser.

Well other than feeling like an idiot, this whole thing got me kind of thinking a little bit.  What if one of my close friends is gay?  Do i care? Does it bother me?  Everyone wants to answer "No, it doesn't bother me."  But what is the real answer.  Well i won't know the real answer because my friend isn't gay.  But thinking about it, looking up sites on figuring out if you're gay just to help my friend not be confused, and being pretty sincere in wanting to help, i really believe that i wouldn't care.  I mean, let's say one of my friends was gay.  Maybe he'd watch a different kind of porno, but hey, he's still the same, great guy i've shared so many memories with right.  So bottom line, gay or not, he's still one of my close friends and always will be.

Hi.  Greetings.  This "daily" entry jahnkes has basically turned into a weekly thing, since nothing really goes on in my not so activity-filled life...plus i'm lazy and i find it easier to summarize the whole week and instead of summarzing every single day.

I haven't made any significant changes to this site in a long time, mainly because i ran out of ideas.  If any of you have any suggestions, sign the guest book or email me.

Last week was pretty good.  Me and Melissa went to Irvine to visit Jadigan.  Jade + Gilligan = Jadigan.  See for yourself.  We went to South Coast Mall.  That big mall jahnkes, damn place is big.  Need to be rich to go there hmm hmm. 

The weekend was just another weekend.  Friday I got a haircut, then i was bored for a while and then my cousin Joey came over just to drop off a shirt he bought for me.  Then since i was bored he asked me to tag along with him to his friend's birthday thing in UTC.  Little did we know it would be our lucky day.  We were both poor and we didnt really have the cash to go ice skating, but since everyone else was, we were gonna bust it anyway.  Then when we are sitting in the stands about to get up, this guy comes up to me and sticks 5 ice skating passes in my face.  He says, "You guys wanna go ice skating?  Here you go 5 free passes, never been used."  What a great guy.  That was 30 bucks in passes.  Very nice of him.  Whoever you are out there, Thank you very much. 

Saturday, i ran errands.  But my errands trips always seems to end up being a big outing with people cuz i dont like going by myself.  First i call up Jon, he says Chris jhankis is gonna go to his house drop off his snowboard.  Wow, Chris jhankis, havent seen him in forever.  So he tags along.  CJ's cousin Glenn says he has to go to UTC, so Jon of course wants to go to UTC cuz of someone who works there, so Glenn comes.  CJ then has nothing to do and decides to tag along.  All this and i just want to buy some deodorant.  With what money though, money that i plan to get by selling some old late 90s rap CDs that i have.  Can't believe i used to listen to that Puff Daddy shit.  8 CDs, 2 singles.  Music Trader lady says she'll give me 1 dollar for each CD and she can't take the singles.  Great.  8 freakin bucks, and i just let them have the two singles cuz i sure as hell don't want them.  8 freakin bucks.  4.25 went to buying deodorant and gel, and the rest went to Alberto's mexican food.  Shows you how much that so called "music" is worth.  Hahaha.

Sunday, usual.  Church, sleep, nothing.  But i did something really fun Sunday.  I stayed home and watched the movies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2.  Hell yeah!  Gotta love those movies.  Go Ninja, Go Ninja GO!!  The first movie is far better than the second, but there is one reason why i love the second movie.  Ernie Reyes, Jr.'s MULLET.  Gosh i loved watching his mullet bounce everytime he did something, that was pure comedy in itself.  Ha!  By the way, did any of you know that Corey Feldman was the voice of Donatello in the first movie.  Yes, Mouth from The Goonies.  Haha, i never knew that until i watched it Sunday.  Yaha Corey Feldman.  (If you don't know Corey Feldman, or the Goonies, you're deprived and i suggest you go to your local video store and rent the movie.  Goonies never say die.)

That's it from this side of GJ Worldwide.  Thanks for reading about my life.

Hi.  Just got back to Pomona.  2nd week of the last 10 weeks of my life in this stinky, boring dorm hall begins.  I was walking around campus getting my parking sticker, and thought about something.  I'm probably going to be complaining a lot more this quarter because it's the last quarter until summer, until i move back down to Sunny San Diego, and i am going to want it to be over with as soon as possible.  That goes for you too Gilligan, other than the fact you don't get to move back down heheh.

Last week wasn't that bad, mostly because i hung out with mysamisa jahnkes a lot.  So pomona isn't that bad...not knowing anyone is what sucks.  The stinky dorm room sucks too huaa.

Maybe it's a little too early to look back on this "college experience," but i'm in the mood.  With two and a half months left up here, i'll review the last 5 and a half months i've spent up here.  It's been an experience.

Pros: 

-Found out what dorm life is about, at least i can say that. 

-Grew closer to my friend Ryan, and i'm really glad because after high school graduation, i wasn't sure if i was going to see him again, but we've become support systems for surviving college life away from home. 

-Gained a new friend in Melissa jahnkes, in part thanks to Joey because he knew i needed a friend up here and Melissa jahnkes goes to school up here.  Thanks to both of you. 

-Found out that someone i've admired for a looong time isn't quite what i thought, and that the image i had was something i had created in my own mind.

-Found i've become much more independent than i already was, or thought i was anyway.

Cons: 

-Found out what dorm life is about, from a shy, quiet kid's point of view.

-Boring roomate, plays computer games ALL day, smells like 79, questionable showering habits, basic idiot when it comes to real world around him.

-First week, you think you found a new friend, only to find that when school really starts, he just talked to you because his other friends weren't around.

-Wasted a lot of gas every week driving home and back.

-Having to put 3 toilet seat covers on every time i use the bathroom.

-Wearing slippers in the shower, and being afraid to touch the bathroom floor, or even the carpet in your own dorm room.

-Lots of other minor things, like the above.

Synopsis:  First 5 and a half months were definitely an experience.  Good or bad, i go with both.  2 and a half more months to go, let's see how they turn out.  Thanks for caring enough to read about my life.
