Pathetic

I'm not really sure why I use yahoo.com. Besides my email, I have zero reasons to be there and yet I still find myself going through their "news." What pains me the most about it is that most of what they report is very biased and has a tendency to send the wrong messages. I read their 6 Dating Insecurities That Keep You Single. Besides the fact that it's a bunch of utter bullshit to blame a person for their own situation, it's a load of bullshit. But on the other hand, Yahoo is pretty smart. They have a lot of users who believe everything they post and can easily manipulated with articles that are paid for by big companies. America is so gullible, it saddens me.

A Saturday To Remember

So on Saturday, my good old friend America and I went to the LACMA for the day and it was incredibly fun to say the least. We rode our bikes there and had a lot of great laughs, food and and some of the worst lemonade either of us have probably tasted. We had a very interesting talk about the interpretation of art and how a lot of it is just pretty much some bullshit. So we decided to take it into our own hands and develop our own meanings for what the art really meant and that alone gave me some of the biggest laughs I have had in a while. There was this one art piece which featured like a thousand yellow tubes and this lady goes "so this is what it feels like to swim underwater."

Silhouettes are awesome

The afternoon/night brought even more laughs. Went to a sleepover with some friends. We watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and just a bunch of games until the sun rose once again. I fell asleep at 5 a.m. and everyone else shortly after but at 9 a.m., everyone was back up and running hahaha.

This summer has been more entertaining and eventful than the downers so I will continue to enjoy it while I can. Thursday is Iron Maiden in Irvine with America, Gio, Kim and Irving. Hopefully Thursday will come sooner than later. Good night everyone.

Returning To Old Ways

I'm not really sure why I stopped posting a song a day, but I really need to get into that rhythm. It didn't happen because I ran out of music (I could probably go a few years with posting a song a day), it just kinda happened. So to get back into the groove, here is some Mastodon. I've talked about them loads of times, so no introduction needed. This is "Curl of the Burl." Enjoy the song and have a great day.

Me Voy A Transformar En Tortuga Ninja

My life has been nothing short of a roller coaster and I'm happy to have had the friends that I currently have. Both new and old which have stuck with me through thin and thick. Sure, I am a bit crazy but so is everyone else. I'll always thank them for being such awesome friends.

Cada vez que pienso
y me doy cuenta donde
estoy entiendo menos
nunca supe bien porque
ni en que momento
me empezo a ganar a mí este sentimiento
tan buenos momentos
tanto andar como el quijote contra del viento
tanto miedo de vivir en la aventura
de tratar de ser feliz con mi locura
tantos amigos tantas cervezas
tantos bagartos tantas princesas
las razones que me hacen aguantar!!!
Tantos kilometros
yo recorri por vos
será que todavía me hace feliz
hay tantas cosas que se pueden complicar
pero antes muerto que dejar de soñar
si sigo comienzo pizza
me voy a transformar en tortuga ninja
lo mismo son diez mil que poca gente
lo importante es trasmitir lo que se siente
tantos comentarios
tantas vueltas que se dan
tanto escenario
tantas cosas salen mal pero se aguantan
es mejor hacerlo mal que no hacer nada
solo se aprende metiendo la pata
tanto laburo tan poca plata
que hay gente que nunca va a entender porque!
Tantos kilometros
yo recorri por vos
será que todavía me hace feliz
hay tantas cosas que se pueden complicar
pero antes muerto que dejar de soñar
pero antes muerto que dejar de soñar

I'm

Frustrated. End of story

Ska

I love ska. I lean more towards ska-punk and skacore because they're more upbeat, but all ska is good. The very first ska song I heard was back in 2000 when my friend Chris let me borrow the Digimon Movie Soundtrack with the songs "All My Best Friends Are Metal Heads" by Less Than Jake and "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Shortly after that I also heard "Superman" by Goldfinger on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Since then, I haven't really come a long way from my ska bands. Over the years I've gotten into Ska-P, Senor Flavio, Nomades & Skaetera, They Might Be Giants, Ska Daddies, Reel Big Fish, Madness and Panteon Rococo, but that's really about it. Those are the only ska bands I've gotten into in the past twelve years (kinda sad when you think about it).

So today I kinda just spent all day looking for new ska-punk and skacore bands to get into. Now, while I did find a lot that I really liked, one stands above all and I am completely dedicating this post to them because they're fucking awesome. The band is called Oreskaband. They're an all female ska band from Japan. Way too fucking awesome. Check em out and just enjoy the music.

Muerte

So metal will always be metal and every season of the year will always bring bring concerts, but I've randomly begun looking forward to the Carnival of Death tour with Obituary, Broken Hope, Decrepit Birth, and Jungle Rot. If I remember correctly, America mentioned this tour to me a while back, so I will credit her with peaking my interest in going. I've enjoyed all the songs so far that I've heard by the bands that will be playing, so I don't have anything more to say really than I can't wait for September 27 to roll around.

The Days of August [Updated]

Several different things in recent weeks have made me lose an appeal for what August has to offer this summer but there are still a few things I highly look forward to that do not involve moving.

• Going to the LACMA with America
• Sleepover with all my pals (hopefully gore and horror movies galore)*
• Iron Maiden with America, Gio, Irving and Kim
• Braces are coming off
• Second bicycle collective meeting of the new semester
• John's birthday
• School starts

Just six seven things in the next 3 weeks. It might appear like a little, but it's enough to keep me going. I know random days will appear with improvised hang outs with my friends, so I'm not really worrying. Plus, even if nothing were to happen in this time, I still have my Wii to enjoy

*I completely forgot about this last night haha. Seven events in 3 weeks sounds good enough to me

Grave Digging Isn't The Same As Digging Graves

So I'll admit that I've been really lazy to write this post. I know I was going to write it after breakfast but I decided to watch Robot Chicken and then watch the Poland vs Argentina game of Men's Volleyball and then played Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Portal 2. Point is, I made up excuses and I've officially ran out of them not to write this damn post.

Anyways I found Monday and Tuesday two key days for me to return back to normal. I spent all of Monday riding around on my bicycle and visited places that probably would be better to spend with friends.

My bike parked outside Macy's Plaza

Chilling inside Macy's Plaza

Parked in front of Little Tokyo

Again in front of Little Tokyo (yes that is a yellow Ferrari)

Plaza place

Can this be considered a mall?

More Olivera St. Stuff

Luci!!!!

Tuesday was completely different. My friend John created an entire group we call "The Cellar" and we had a picnic of give or take 10 people. The entire thing was filled with good laughts, great food and Monopoly. We all essentially find the same stuff hilarious and love to eat. In the end it is a win-win situation. I've been a bit down these last couple days but them helping me smile relieves me of some of the stress of my eventual move.

Where The Dead May Be, I Will Not Be There Too

I have given a lot of thought into what exactly was going to go into this post all day but now that it's time to actually write it, I've gotten extremely lazy and have decided I will leave that for tomorrow morning when I have nothing to do after eating breakfast.

I will leave you all with one thing. When I got home yesterday from a picnic that I will further go into detail tomorrow, I felt like listening to Dexys Midnight Runner's "Come On Eileen." Very catchy, poppy and up beat song. Until next time
