7 Days!!!

It took me a whopping 7 days (on and off) to do my god damn hair. Seriously it takes longer and longer each goddamn time. It makes me consider getting a fade seriously. However now its done for another month or so. Hooray for low maintenance :D

People out there reading this, don't get dreads unless you can afford the shop seriously.

Crush That Ass!

I cannot even begin to explain how many extremes last weekend had. So just to attempt to break it down I will start with Thursday (even though its not part of the weekend). So Nick is bored (as usual) and decides he wants to break balls and buy some new bearings.

So I was like lets go to Berkley to get them (since Berkley is a lot closer in my opinion) but he said Caliskatz in Fremont. Now Fremont is technically the closer city but its also HUGE! So I was like whatever lets just go. So we convince John to go and left.














Everything was going well until we hit epic traffic. I was the most shocked because despite being 5pmish we were away from San Francisco. Who the hell wants to go to Fremont? All kidding aside were stuck in traffic until we find out that there was an accident caused by some woman. Go figure right? We also passed an old man having car trouble and I laughed with some guilt attached.



Long story short it was supposed to be a 20 minute drive and it ended up taking an hour and 30 minutes to get there due to epic GPS fail. Finally arriving at Caliskatz its really not that bad of a store. They have some SBs that I would buy but would never find if San Fran (due to hypebeast expanionism) so I may return to Caliskatz some day.

Friday was an awesome and depressing night for me. Me, John, Nick, Dylan, and Veronica head out to SF for a party I got the invite for. First highlight of the night, "Crush that ass" was born. Now if you don't know the inside joke I can't let you inside, but it was hilarious. We get to the party and it was cool. They laid down some rules so nothing bad would happen but shit got stolen anyways.

John was the highlight of the night. My roomate who believes that most women aren't worth the time, got a number. Now normally who would give a shit. This was different. Litterally John was sitting there babbling nonsense (he was high) and she was eating it up. So she shells out the digits and he didn't even try. Mack status for sure. I had my fun too but nothing like John haha.

The ride back was sad. I being partially drunk was getting way to frisky with Veronica (much to her dismay and my guilt later on) not because I was horny. I just missed a certain person and I took it out on V. Not a good thing to do to your friends. I felt like a real asshole the next day. That is probably the first time I have felt negative effects of alcohol.

But I really do miss her. I know it hasn't been that long since I have seen A.R. (I don't know if she would want me to put her name in this). I just feel the need to see her more often. I know she isn't avoiding me, theres just a lot going on for her right now. It still makes me a sad panda/lion regardless. Hopefully spring will work its "magic" and next quarter will be full of win.

But yeah thats my weekend, shit just kinda happens.

Strange Happenings


I love it when I come to San Francisco. This city has so many fond memories that I can't even count on fingers and toes. Pretty much anything and everything happens. You never know who you might bump into or what might bump into you. Although I am exagurating (because shit happens all the time regardless of location) I always say "Only in San Francisco". 

It seems to be a good saying to live by for any San Franciscan. Its kind of a code to live by. I love the spontaneous life in this city. For example only in San Francisco will you find a rich yuppie in a starbucks and a crowd of crackheads fighting over doritos. Awesome right?

In other news I hung out with an old friend of mine, well more like old crush of mine. Most of you know her as Peaches (because thats just what she goes by). Its funny to like someone for so long and then hang with them again and not care in the same way. Its hella funny to me. She doesn't call or even try to contact me since graduation, yet I am still her best friend. Bull-shit. 

I didn't hold it against her of course, hell I didn't mind her acting like we were still close. I just don't understand people that "miss you" but never bother to contact you. If someone misses you shouldn't they contact you? Ah well whatever, it was fun hanging with her anyways. I still wouldn't mind getting with her though, shit she still looks hot. But oh well, I refuse to get sucked back into her charms.

Yeah....Ok Wayne, please stop...

So Lil Wayne has made some dramatic changes to his life over the years. He started rapping at age 10, went from southern gangsta rap to auto-tune failure, and now he wants to be a rock star. Now that is all fine and what have you, if its good. Sublime did a decent blend of that, Linkin Park did it well too, hell, even Limp Bizkit had a decent run. But this shit is just utter failure. Why Wayne why?

Anyone remember when Wayne was good? I do peep this classic.




Is it because he knows that he can make people buy this bullshit? I mean seriously if you haven't heard the single "Prom Queen" you should count yourself lucky. It is utterly disgusting. I would take Hannah Montana over this any day.

Here is the fail, er video...




If you actually got through the whole thing, good job. You have the patience of a Saint. The lyrics are generic as shit, Lil' Wayne didn't even go to high school (why is he writing a song about Prom Queens?!), auto tune has only been used successfully IMO by two songs (Generator - Foo Fighters and California Love - Dr. Dre).

This is just Wayne trying to cater to this days generation. Seriously, everyone wants to wear flannel and skinny jeans nowadays. Hell I own some skinny jeans! But that does not make me a rock star right? No it does not. It will not make Wayne the next Cobain either.


If you need a reminder of the transition of Wayne peep game below





"Lil' Wayne cites Nirvana as an influence in his music"

Hopefully Wayne will do honor to Cobain's name and stop making shitty rock music.

Faith


Somethings are worth waiting for. A hot meal, the sun to come up, Digital Photography lecture to end (seen right lol), but everyone waits for things. Life does not always give you what you want up front. You have to have patience and faith in whatever it is your waiting for. There is a certain Fremont girl I am waiting for, just because she interests me.

You know you have something special when you don't have to put emphasis on the friendship. She is just so chill its awesome. She can go from silly and upbeat to serious and focused. I like that in anyone (not just girls) but it means more since I like her. I can't be sure if I am 100% on this yet because I haven't known her long enough. Not that it matters, nobody is perfect anyway (especially not me). Its days like today where I'm glad I met her. She was nice enough to wait for me to get out of hell er stats class, to chill for just a bit. Anyone who goes out of their way to see me wins a lot of respect for me (especially when you risk trouble with the parents).

Jumping subjects, the power went out across the whole campus last night due to a (thunderstorm?) yet the dorms were fine. Thank god for that. I had shit to do. This school keeps making innovations but they wont invest in a back up generator? HAH! Anyways I hope I do better on my Philosophy exam then I did on my Stats (72%). Gotta shoot for that 3.0+ GPA (2.9) currently.

A Change of Direction?

So everyday is full of surprises right? So its only natural that new shit happens everyday. Previously I had made a decision to not like a certain girl because I felt she wasn't at my maturity level. That changed today.

I was out doing some Digital Photography homework with her (portraiture to be exact seen below). And afterwords we went to chill in the library so she could print stuff out. She showed me something she did in High School from Youtube and I was shocked. You would never have guessed from her bubbly personality that she was in JROTC. Now this is a girl who is always going around saying nonsensical things for god knows why but for her to have been in JROTC, shes gotta have an adult side to her.

I always figured it was there just because she takes a ridiculous amount of units and wants to graduate early (26 this quarter) yet she stays so positive. It seems like that may be her safety mechanism for not going insane for real. Maybe she acts so hyperactive in order to have some kind of fun throughout the day. It seems logical enough now that I gave it some thought. So I say that I rushed judgement. There is more to this girl than meets the eyes and I intend to find out what.

The Start of Blogging

I figure since I think a lot and write a lot of notes on Facebook (and before Myspace) that I could run a halfway decent blog. I plan on posting only my honest opinions on most likely nonsense and posting some pictures and vids here and there. Who knows maybe I'm going somwhere with this.

Anyways just sub me if you have Firefox but if not just look for the address on my Facebook.
