Phillip Yang - The daily news of his life

I've noticed today that I've been online shopping for random stuff lately that I really don't need. I need to stop because I've noticed how many things I don't have but its really pointless. Whenever the LA TIMES gets delivered to our home, we get two. Our parents thought we needed two subscriptions to the same newspaper because we had so many people just stealing it for samples, interesting articles? and other reasons. If we see two, we usually just toss the other one away but its been cluttering the house and the garage altogether. Tthe only main section I read as of right now is straight to the sports section and the back is my trusty fry's electronics advertisement. I know this may seem odd to some of you but fry's advertisement is something you can count on like the sun rising from the east and setting in the west. It has been there ever since I grew up and it has become the source of half of my impulse purchases. They really need to open one up near fontana or something. I need a costco, home depot, frys, and of course a 5 lane freeway on the 15.

Well today was a trip to the UCR campus and it was called "Discover UCR". The day started at 10:00am and it was fairly pleasant. The traffic on the 60 fwy added to the degree of complexity to the day and I lost probably 1 year of my life due to stress. i arrived on campus a little early and I decided to find parking in this "disneyland" parking format and it was already packed. The people at the discover ucr event were full of freshmen and other parents who were still protecting their children like it was first grade. I was probably the handful of people who came into ucr by themselves and I stood out like a miniority in texas. It was part hilarious and part sad. The person giving the tour did such a bad job I am not even going to mention her name. She was like anti-ucr for a minute too. The hilarious part was how I saw people standing in line to get free stuff and it was from the bell tower to the bus admin building. They were giving away stickers too... forget about it people...
