Hip-Hop
Do you wanna hear a joke? Soulja boy.
Alright, so basically it kills me inside to know that a dude younger than me is making it big by producing whack ass music for the masses...and the nation is eating it up! The dude known as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em is well-known for tune/dance "Crank Dat" and is now reproducing, or in my opinion regurgitating the exact tune in the format of "Bird Walk." Wow. Talent much? I'm all for creativity and shit but I can't stand the idea of somebody making it just by creating shitty music. I'm with Ice-T and Nas on this one with they're notion that "hip-hop is dead." Just an opinion, but my taste is hip-hop. Music. The stuff that lasts. Not the 15 minute fame tracks that are hot in the club for only one weekend and forgotten the next. I cringe every time I hear his song. Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like him.

Earth To Bella
Incubus - Earth To Bella (Part I & II)
Earth to Bella
You think you’ve got it all figured in
Earth to Bella
Everything you know is wrong (well almost)
Earth to Bella
I see where you are not listening
I bear the burden of being the voice that let's you know
We all grow old
And before you swim you've gotta be okay to sink
Earth to Bella
The world can be an unfriendly place
So hold your head up
And do your best to save some face
It’s not so hard
Just undo yourself and see a second sun ascend
I'm okay to sink
Okay to sink
I'm okay to sink
Okay to sink
I'm okay to sink
Earth to Bella
This is a quiet emergency
Earth to Bella
So much more to get than wronged
Earth to Bella
You're treading water successfully
But are you really?
Don't you want to see the deep?
It's not so hard
Just forgive yourself and feel the water open in.

Want.
I want.
I am in such a major stage of wanting, for my recent emotions are extremely amplified to a high pitched degree. Fuck life, for respectively everything revolves around want. I already have what I want (some more than others) but therefore I want more, what I don't have. Instead of being grateful, I move on into wanting what I do not have. There are a few major things right now that I FUCKING WANT. I WANT IT SO BAD. I NEED IT. IT HURTS NOT TO GET IT. ...I can only hope, and rely on my ability, trust in myself, and believe that I can obtain such desires. You can't just sit around and wait, but you can't necessarily take rash actions to make such strides either. Being irrational won't help, but I can't wait any longer. I need it.

+44 or (+44)?
Bullshit.
From what I recall when they first surfaced, the band "+44" was originally called "(+44)". Even other fans online thought the same way, for even the booklet of their album lists their name as such. But based on Wiki, Google, t-shirts/merch, and myspace... I am now guessing that it really is +44. Dammit.
Just had to fuck up my scrobbles on last.fm... shit.

Unintended
MUSE - Unintended
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Post Spring Break
So had major work for the week, but apparently its doesn't seem that bad so far. Still kinda bummed though...
Mon- astro quiz, english reading
Tues- art essay (apparently due thurs.! fuck yes!)
Weds- english reading
Thurs- art make up quiz, art comparison essay
Friday- english essay #3
At first I was bummed, but I think it'll all work out fine. Besides, its only life. I know that bullshit work like this will be something I'll laugh about in the future, for all of this doesn't necessarily matter. Much more is out there...
I continue to remain relieved and optimistic.
On a lighter note... today Sweeney Todd and MUSE "HAARP" comes out! FUCK YES! Time to hit up Best Buy!

Saturday in SF
So Spring Break has flown by with immense speed. I don't even remember it happening. Oh well. The countdown to SUMMER '08 begins!
So lets see, Saturday I went to San Francisco with the fam for Auntie Dyan's b-day. I wasn't notified of such a trip until late Friday night, therefore I was up all night and went to bed at 5:30 am and got up at 8:30 am. I do not advise this. Surprisingly I was fully functional and lasted all day, with brief periodic naps during the car rides of course. So we had lunch with the fam at some fancy restaurant in Ghirardelli Square. Pretty good, I got the fish and chips, naturally.
So after lunch the "kids" [roby, boom, erica, and I] and adults split up since we took two cars. We stopped by this George Lucas Skywalker Ranch kind of thing since it was close by. Wasn't much there for the public, but nice environment with a sort of zen like feel. The building seemed cool to work in. We walked around for like 10 mins trying to find the Yoda statue. Constantly made fun of Roby for it, "sooooo.... where's this statue?" and "you know... i'm totally fine if there isn't a statue. Its cool." lol
After that we all decided to watch a movie in theaters. Roby suggested Horton Hears a Who, but apparently she was joking after everyone agreed. haha. Boom said it was an awesome movie and we all laughed at how Roby wasn't actually interested in seeing it, even though she suggested it jokingly. So we journeyed to the theater in Van Ness. Very nice theater too, parking garage that connects to a multiple story cinema. Turns out Horton was at 4:30 and it was 2:45 when we got there, so we decided on Shutter at 3:30. We waited in the lobby and such, just chilled. Roby bought a milk duds and dropped the whole box in the lobby. Milk duds everywhere! Hella funny though, cuz she went to buy more after spilling a whole box worth. We all hella thought about Superbad too, "Sir... did you do this?" and "Fuck my life."haha. Shutter was actually pretty good compared to all the other Japanese Horror remakes. I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't necessarily scary, but more creepy and disturbing to think about in some cases. I found it funny that the actor (Joshua Jackson) is in Mighty Ducks films as Charlie Conway and that I was actually watching Ducks 1 and D-2 at home recently. Kinda funny to think he was a finalist in the Batman Begins auditions as Bruce Wayne. But yeah, good film. Made actual sense and didn't leave anything unanswered. I actually got a little creeped out that night after thinking about it for awhile.
Sooooooo... after the cinematic adventure we went back to Boom & Roby's casa, where we all played a quick game Mario Party on the Wii. lol. Good laughs, Roby kept landing on the square where the character gets loaded into the pirate cannon and shot back to the beginning of the map after being only two squares away from a star. lol. Happened like 3 times, "NOOOO!!! Fuck my life..." Boom won, he got like 4 goddamn stars.
We then hit the bowling alley, Classic Bowl i guess, where we met up with the parents. We met up with all of they're friends in the city, mostly their dance friends/fam to celebrate Auntie Dyan's b-day. As we waited the parents brought us their leftover Chevy's food, we were fucking starving, and as we opened up a container of food, roby passed it to me without looking, and it slipped of the table. Yup. She spilt food again. Funny shit. Nobody got to even touch the food, the ground got to it first. Luckily I caught the container, split like half of the food, but the other half was all good. lol. This happened like RIGHT AFTER the bowling alley worker told us NO OUTSIDE FOOD. Shittttt....lol. Twas all good though, no worries, more funny if anything cause Roby just couldn't handle her food all day. She spilt milk duds, chevy's, soda, and pizza all in one day. lol. Of course I had to give her some crap for it. haha. Bowling was cool, i kinda sucked the second game, but I guess its safe to say that I'm not that bad overall. It was fun though bowling with the fam/friends (Glenn, Uncle Pe'a and fam, boom's gf and mom, and so on...). After that the V-ville fam left and journeyed back home. Got home at 11 or so that night.
Quite a day. Especially for running on 3 hour sleep. Jesus.

Spring-Break and Shit
What. The Fuck. Is Up.
So right now I'm listening to my favorite band in the world again, Avenged Sevenfold. That "Afterlife" song and others just fucking ripp. Lately I've actually been in a MUSE-tastic mood these past weeks, for their music continues to inspire, rock, progress, and warp everything I've ever known about music. I love them so much and cannot wait for the new HAARP live-album/dvd on April 1st. Just a few days away till an amazing ass concert, definitely one of the BEST rock bands out there today.
So Spring-Break '08 has come and gone. Tis the final weekend. Break was cool I guess, I've actually been going through some mixed emotions this week, but it's all good. On Saturday last week I went to the SF with Greg, Marshell, Taylor, Ariel, and Kevin. Good-times, the usual, bought shit as well. That night we had a good old alcohol session with the rest of the crew at Kent's house. Richard is in Canada all break, so it tis a Schubertless break. Taylor and Kevin left after Sunday and Monday, for their break was before ours, which is dumb. Don't remember which night, but we (Pat, Greg, Marsh, and I) went to RuRuLaLa karaoke for a good jam session which is always fun, I felt I sucked that time though, for I couldn't last long. I just think we haven't "practiced", meaning we haven't gone karaoking in awhile. Nothing much left to say, just major chillage with the dudes all week, on Friday I went with Kent and Greg to the mall and we watched Superbad again (which hasn't got old) with Marsh at Greg's house. I cannot not wait for next week, for its going to kick my ass so hard with tests, essays, assignments, and quizzes! Fuck yes! I hate life and its pointless activities!
"When am I ever gonna need to know how to cook tiramisu? I'm not gonna be a chef! It's the last 3 weeks of school cut me some fucking slack! ...I'm sorry for cursing."
-Superbad
I don't know what else to say. I'm done for the night. I'll add more later.

Recent Thoughts and Emotions
So. Whats going on?
I don't know what to say, to much and to little. I'd be lying if I said not much has gone down lately since the last time I updated, because quite a lot has gone down. Winter Break was fucking awesome and I'm missing it. A lot. Almost in a broken hearted way.
Whatever.
So new semester...

Music Appreciation [online course]
Not so bad. I don't know, college thing is cool and all (except solano), the freedom and all that, but I can't help but always get super bummed out whenever I deal with it. Its something you gotta do, but its just I don't want to. Call it lazy, whateva, I just don't like it. Not only that but being in class only means that everyone else is back at school, including the 4 yr. students. I miss the T-man Taylor a lot for it was me and him everyday over break waiting for everyone else to chill after work or whatever. I swear I was at his house everyday, and his fam is pretty much my fam now. Sometimes I wish I did a CSU, but it makes me wonder if I'd miss everyone that is remaining here and now (the fam, the brahs). So now I miss the only brah that lives outta town, but now for some reason I'm growing to miss a lot of other people. I find myself missing the old friendships I had in high school, so now I guess I'm trying to stay in touch with a few in order to maintain those bonds. I mean I'm emailing old friends and also meeting up some lunch and stuff; its been good so far. I guess right now I'm in a state of "you live once and don't take anything for granted" or "no regrets" kinda thing.
So continuing whats rambling in my dome right now, Killswitch Engage. I'm slowly catching on to them, and thanks to Patrick, he got me hooked to a song that blew my mind when I heard it in his car. The guitar riff throughout the verse was what hooked me at first, but now I recently looked at the lyrics and have found an even deeper appreciation for the piece. I suppose due to my current state of missing people, I can deeply relate to this song.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
"The End of Heartache"
Seek me,
Call me,
I'll be waiting
This distance,
This dissolution
I cling to memories while falling
Sleep brings release,
And the hope of a new day
Waking the misery of being without you
Surrender, I give in
Another moment is another eternity
(Seek me) For comfort,
(Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting here) For the end of my broken heart
You know me, you know me all too well
My only desire - to bridge our division
In sorrow I speak your name
And my voice mirrors, mirrors my torment
(Seek me) For comfort,
(Call me) For solace
(I'll be waiting here) For the end of my broken heart
(Seek me) Completion,
(Call me) I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting here) For the end of my broken heart
For comfort,
For solace
Great song. Diggin' the lyrics.
Oh yeah! Patrick and I have recently composed our first full length piece of music on guitar. The vibe is fucking awesome, the solos ripp, the structure is very simplistic but with a few tweaks and dashes of amazing spice. Very proud. Very inspired. The sounds bring to mind American punkish post hardcore pop shit, but also with a very J-Rockish vibe that brings to mind a cross of Taking Back Sunday, blink-182, AnCafe, Larc en Ciel. Its just what comes to mind. But more or less the sound can only be described as us. Just us having major fun and enjoying the music. The future looks bright.
A very special remembrance to Heath Ledger.
Actor. Artist. Inspiration. Hero.
I respect him a lot, and always enjoyed a film that he was a part of. With him being linked to a very special character in my fanboy heart (the Joker), I've actually been affected by his passing. It was like a article I was reading by and editor on the batman-on-film website. He explained that the Joker character is just as much near and dear to fan boy's hearts just as much as Batman. With Heath Ledger being attached to the role of the Clown Prince of Crime in this summers THE DARK KNIGHT, people learn and eventually embraced him. Fans learned to love everything about the man that was so committed to fulfilling the role of possibly the greatest villain ever created in the history of pop culture. Whenever anybody part of the production of the new Batman film spoke or gave an interview, the reoccurring theme is Heath as the Joker. Everyone cannot contain the excitement and inspiration that he brings to the character and the film. I agree with the editor totally, and for once I actually felt a little sad for a death of a major star, it has never affected me like that before, but its just like growing with the films. Christian Bale IS the Batman, just as now Heath Ledger IS the Joker. Its like having Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) passing away during the peak of the original Star Wars run. All in all rest in peace. I can't wait for The Dark Knight nor can I wait for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus. Both will be exciting pieces of film with an exciting performance by a special actor who dedicated his life to perfecting his craft.
So after massive amounts of updating I'm going to finish my homework now...
I don't know what to say, to much and to little. I'd be lying if I said not much has gone down lately since the last time I updated, because quite a lot has gone down. Winter Break was fucking awesome and I'm missing it. A lot. Almost in a broken hearted way.

Great song. Diggin' the lyrics.
Oh yeah! Patrick and I have recently composed our first full length piece of music on guitar. The vibe is fucking awesome, the solos ripp, the structure is very simplistic but with a few tweaks and dashes of amazing spice. Very proud. Very inspired. The sounds bring to mind American punkish post hardcore pop shit, but also with a very J-Rockish vibe that brings to mind a cross of Taking Back Sunday, blink-182, AnCafe, Larc en Ciel. Its just what comes to mind. But more or less the sound can only be described as us. Just us having major fun and enjoying the music. The future looks bright.
A very special remembrance to Heath Ledger.
Actor. Artist. Inspiration. Hero.
I respect him a lot, and always enjoyed a film that he was a part of. With him being linked to a very special character in my fanboy heart (the Joker), I've actually been affected by his passing. It was like a article I was reading by and editor on the batman-on-film website. He explained that the Joker character is just as much near and dear to fan boy's hearts just as much as Batman. With Heath Ledger being attached to the role of the Clown Prince of Crime in this summers THE DARK KNIGHT, people learn and eventually embraced him. Fans learned to love everything about the man that was so committed to fulfilling the role of possibly the greatest villain ever created in the history of pop culture. Whenever anybody part of the production of the new Batman film spoke or gave an interview, the reoccurring theme is Heath as the Joker. Everyone cannot contain the excitement and inspiration that he brings to the character and the film. I agree with the editor totally, and for once I actually felt a little sad for a death of a major star, it has never affected me like that before, but its just like growing with the films. Christian Bale IS the Batman, just as now Heath Ledger IS the Joker. Its like having Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) passing away during the peak of the original Star Wars run. All in all rest in peace. I can't wait for The Dark Knight nor can I wait for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus. Both will be exciting pieces of film with an exciting performance by a special actor who dedicated his life to perfecting his craft.
So after massive amounts of updating I'm going to finish my homework now...
