I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word.

This is me. The real me, I guess. I'm not a happy person. I'm pessimistic, slightly misanthropic, bitter, and cynical. I'm naturally lazy and I think everybody lies. But the truth is, I'm a bundle of contradictions. I'm unsure about a lot of things although I strive to find the truth of it all, the logic behind everything. I'm passionate about a few things, mainly those that mean the most to me. I'm a musician, a writer, an editor, and a filmmaker in the making. I spend my time reading to get away from everyone and everything. I don't like to let people in because, honestly, I can't stand people sometimes. I don't think everyone's an idiot, but on most days, that sure comes close. Everyone has their moments though. There are a lucky few though, who I consider close friends. Music is my drug and will be til the day I die. This is me.

Aurally: A Shoreline - Morgan Enos

It's your world.

I wish I could say that this song has defined my summer, but it hasn't. At least, not in the way I hoped it would've. It's a perfect 'do nothing but hang out with your friends' song, and yet, I've barely been able to do that this summer. It made sense earlier in the summer, I was busy with summer session. But now? I'm lucky to see my friends every once in a while. Bah, whatever.




Little Tokyo another day. Not really up to it now.

Aurally: Pusherman - Curtis Mayfield

gilbert phillip.

'Most parties have a beer pong table. This party had a mahjong table.'



Perry (I was very tempted to type out @perrry, no joke.) had a potluck/bbq a couple of weeks ago. I actually would've uploaded these pictures way back when, but my internet was down. Anyway, there was some mahjong playing, which eventually turned into building fun for us college students.



Oh, I believe I have some Little Tokyo photos to post. I'll get around to it eventually. Tomorrow perhaps.

Aurally: Fitz & Dizzyspells - Andrew Bird

I gave in.

I told myself I would never get a pair of Chucks. Unless they were purple, orange, & red. Or something to that color combination, I forgot how I had planned it. But I saw those & had to give in. I mean a fucking monkey! In space! Damn you space ace, you did me in.

Anyway, I have ideas of pictures I want to take, hopefully some opportunities will come towards the end of this week. Tis my last class of summer session & therefore my last stats classes EVAR. Hopefully. I might end up tutoring my friend, depending on my final grade. Anyway, I'm done on Thursday & hopefully beach fun on Friday.

Aurally: Cozak - Beirut

the graduates.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Anyway, this post is for, you guessed it, graduation. Specifically my sister's & my niece, who I lovingly call the sprog, spawn, munchkin, or when I'm particularly annoyed at her, the parasite.






Next post? Other film stuffs. I'm too lazy to sort through the nikon photos.

Aurally: It's Your World - Gil Scott-Heron

Clearly, I have nothing better to do.

Alright, I decided to just upload & post the damn photos. So here they are, the first set from my Pentax.






Aurally: Half Nelson - Charlie Parker with Miles Davis

I found these on my photostream.

I was about to upload 4 photos I took on the first roll of film from my Pentax, but when I went to my flickr page, I noticed these & realized I forgot to post them. So these first - then today or tomorrow will be the Pentax set, the first of many since my other camera's broken, haha.


My escape. I can honestly sit in front of a piano & not realize how much time had passed since I sat down. Anyway, this is the baby grand in our family room/where I use my Mac, hahaha. Anyway, I'd really love to own a Steinway and Sons' piano.

Now to Easter (apparently...)!





& now to a random night hanging out with Steph & Erwin with only the highlights, aka, the high kicking competition!

^^ So Erwin did another kick AFTER that, which lead to this -



It's kind of strange how high this boy can kick. Anyway, the last of this bunch - trip up to East Bay for my Lola's funeral.



Out of all the little ones in our family, there's only ONE boy. BILO!


Aurally: I Am the Senate - John Williams
