so i'm planning on arriving before the new year, after christmas sometime. maybe a wednesday.
i've changed my home campus, registered for a few classes… there's a beekeeping class there. hmm….
in the process of sending my financial aid info over and then praying, a lot.
so after riding my bmx in the rain today, i decided i'm bringing my fixed gear. don't want to deal with wet brakes again … it's been so long since i've experienced that on my mountain bike… scary shit mon.
right now it's storming up in palisades. thunderrrrr. THE SKY IS OPENING UP
i was also thinking about bringing my electric guitar to maui, but too much to carry if i;m gonna be hopping around the place. for the first few weeks i was thinking about staying at a hostel until i find a job and a cheaper place to stay. woo!
i have to make friends and get a job… or perish. i don't have to make friends, but… it would be nice.
i don't have to go to maui, but… this will change things. hardcore. it will be nice. it's gonna be rough. i'm gonna push myself to survive.
so much has happened in these past few months. i'll fill everyone in soon.
topics i need to cover:
(in no particular order) near-death experiences sandy's adventure halloween adventure turd burglars black moth super rainbow ghosts sleepwalking maui dreams dreams underwater friends enlightenment
and much more… damn that sounds cheesy as hell.
i'm gonna revamp this blog and start using this more often… promise.
new plan: moving to maui for the new year. reason: don't quite know for sure yet.
hopefully i can find a place with some internet so i can keep everyone up to date.
honestly… i can suport myself financially for about 2 or 3 months. so, i have to find a job as soon as i land in maui or i will die. not really die, but be homeless, maybe miserable, but i'd rather go through that than regret not going anywhere.
I MUST PASS ALL MY CLASSES or no part of this plan will come to being.
Cookies To dream that you are eating, giving, receiving, or stealing cookies, signify that you will let trivial problems and minor disputes annoy you.
Choking Choking dreams are often a fearful experience and it is not uncommon for dreamers to awaken from them. To dream that you are choking on an object, suggests that you may find some advice/remarks/situation hard to swallow or difficult to accept. Alternatively, you may feel that you are unable to completely express yourself in a situation. In particular, if you are choking on food, then it may be an expression of self-guilt and unnurtured feelings. If you are choking on smoke, then it indicates something you are unwilling to confront.
I was 2 minutes away from home. It was 12 in the morning, raining, and I was going... too fast... down my favorite hill, made the hairpin turn without braking, fishtailed, and hit a pole pretty fucking hard.
I walked away from that incident without a scratch. Killed the car though.
I WAS SOBER. imagine if i wasn't... would i be dead? would i have not been driving so fast?
i'll elaborate on the whole story if anyone asks. honestly, i'm too sad right now to type it all out here... i'm not even sure anyone reads my posts.
too much on my mind. i had plans. i can't sleep, and when i do i sleep all day. but that's what i did before the crash too...
There's a reason why i'm still alive. I think a higher power may be trying to tell me something. OR... I could be dead right now, and not even know that I'm a ghost.
How do ghosts know they're dead anyway? I need to know. I could be haunting people without even knowing it.
This is what I do instead of studying for finals. Is it worth it? Dunno yet. I still got 3 more finals to go.
I made this song using Garageband, played around with the effects and found these reverb and echo effects that reminded me of being on a boat or swimming underwater and stuff.
So I went on Youtube and started looking up movie clips of drowning scenes. (Is that normal?) Then I remembered this scene from Casino Royale, and watched that clip with my song playing in another window. It synchronized so well with the scene that I downloaded it to .mp4 or .mov (I forget which one). I didn't even have to edit the clip or anything.
This scene from Rushmore also came to mind. I think it's my favorite part in the whole movie... but I need to watch it again. By the way, The Kinks are awesome.
I'm playing both videos at the same time, but with this one on mute, trying to synchronize the music with the scene.
I usually get to the front of the crowd at shows, and dance my ass off, but the crowd there was huge; it filled the lawn at Andrew's Ampitheater by the time Tribal Seeds was on.
I was there to see Go Jimmy Go, and maybe a little bit of Pepper.
Pepper's style has been straying away from ska lately, making it harder for me to dance because . . . I can't, haha. I skank, I mosh, maybe I'll crowd-surf one day, but I don't dance.
BUT, Go Jimmy Go was awesome, as usual. They played Monkeyman and Message to Rudy, which surprised me. I just wish those hippies SITTING in front of the stage would have got up and danced.
I will see Go Jimmy Go again sometime this summer, hopefully.
This whole week has been . . . overall, a little disappointing, for a bunch of reasons I won't go into detail yet. Can't say I didn't try.
So, here's a little something to listen to. It's a song called "Love 2 the DJ" by Sabotage Soundsystem, which Kaleo Wassman (from Pepper) is half of. This is off of their first album called TheBoto Machine Gun. Brilliant.
