Thanksgiving 2010

Well, this Thanksgiving went by pretty well. . . . No not really, it was boring as fuck most of the time. Oh, but i did meet a few family members from New Orleans, drove past a guy stealing another dude's car at gunpoint, had my friends hide from another friends father in the back of my car, saw Tangled (Disney), got a new laptop (Sony!) and nearly froze my ass off.Yep, that about sums it up. Oh, no wait! I got a flat tire too, got that fixed earlier this morning. Haha, what a weekend, now that i think about it it wasn't that boring at all. Ok, that's it for now, i have homework to finish. Adios folks.

Just want to say. . .

G'night world.

Beyond the Window

   Sunshine escapes the clouded sky outside my window. How long it will last, i really don’t now. Even though the day is bright the dark rain clouds flaw the flowering spring scenery. The cold wind eliminates the illusion of warmth. How wonderful is the spring.

   Dramatics aside i really should be doing homework.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a wonderful holiday and a wonderful new year!!!

It's been a while

Hey there folks its been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that i've been busy. Why the hell am i addressing an inexistant audience, no one bothers to read this. Oh well, i'll just continue ranting since i've already started.
well finals are here and everyone here in Summerwood is stressing over exams. Work has died down and i do not work next week, though i do plan to go to the potluck on thursday, i dont have class then since its art and my final day is tuesday i believe. Man am i tired, once work and classes are over i just feel so tired at the end of the day. And man is it hell wehn i have to stay up till three in the morning doing hw. I swear i am constantly running on little sleep and little food often times. this quarter i picked up the bad habit of skipping breakfast in exchange for a few more minutes of sleep.
my sister is currently watching Twilight on her computer. Yeah. . . she just wants to see if it s better than the book, which she could not get through. i am not a Twilight fan and find it ridiculous how popular it got when there are so many better vamp books out there, beginning with the queen of it all, Anne Rice.
I'm just gla this quarter is almost over. i have already enrolled for next quarters classes. i am taking five this time. One is online. I'm taking: beginning Hopkido, Recreation 1000, Woman's Studies (online), History 1101, and English, Introduction to Fiction Writing. I REALLY look forward to the english and martial arts classes and maybe recreation. the other two can go to hell, im just taking them cause i have to.
i know i should be going to bed but i lost the little sleppy-ness that i had when the others began messin with leo. it was funny.
there were a few rains the other day, but i got some pretty nice pics from within my apt. now im getting sleepy again, well thats all, i have more to say but i willleave that for another day. Good night folks. . . or should i say good morning?

A New Year

Earlier in the day I left my apartment in order to pick up a friend of mine. She was to arrive at the bust stop several streets away. When we returned we walked inside the apartment only to find everyone lounging on several different areas of the living room. The calm ambience of the day and the soft music of Imogen Heap’s newest album, ECLIPSE, had everyone drowsy. A few were already falling asleep.
One of my friends had commented that she liked how the day was going. After finishing the chores we had all taken seats around the living room and began doing our own thing. The simplicity of the action was relaxing. A carefree mood was created. It is nice that, even for a little while, we can engross ourselves in something simple that makes us forget our worries. Reading a book, listening to music, or even watching television with each other. The comfort of each other’s presence without anyone actually talking is something very precious to me. Moment’s like these don’t last for ever. Like so many other things in life they are limited.
Now I no longer live on the CSUEB campus. I live in an apartment several minutes away. And not with people I can’t stand, like the year before. No this time I am surrounded by friends and generous neighbors. This time I am surrounded by calming silence disturbed only by the occasional passerby or car. I have gotten to know the City of Hayward a little better. I love the small shops and the old buildings. I always get the feeling that I have stepped into the past when I walk outside. A feeling that is sometimes broken by one a the few new buildings scattered around the area. I love getting to know a new place. A place were no one knows me, where no one will remember me. I love standing and watching the people go by. Gazing onwards at the streets that seem as though they go on forever.
Who knows if I will still be here a year from now. Maybe so or maybe not. That is why I have decided to enjoy all these days that I have.
A few weeks ago I discovered a shop that has been in Hayward since 1960. The Book Shop. A small store that sells used and new books. I love the place, not only is the store clerk a interesting, easy to get along with, individual but also the store just has a relaxing vibe that draws people in. The first time I went there I bought an old 1980s copy of Peter S. Beagle’s “The Last Unicorn” (and also discovered that he lives in Oakland), and “Dayhunter” the second novel of the Dark Days series by Jocelyn Drake. I am still reading both. What I read always counts on my mood. Yesterday I returned to The Book Shop and purchased two more books and a diary. The diary is small and easy to carry with white flowers on a metallic sky-blue background. I loved the books I purchased also. The first being “The Crow: City of Angels” a novel by Chet Williamson, based on the screenplay by David S. Goyer, and based on the characters created by James O’Barr. (I own the VHS version of the movie.) The second book is “Red-Headed Stepchild” by Jaye Wells. I’m glad that I finally have something to read. I spent the entire summer break wondering what to do once I had no books to read. Well, no interesting ones at least.
However not all is fun and games. Tragedy struck the CSUEB campus on October 8th. A murder suicide took place in Oakland. Both involved were fellow school mates. One was only nineteen and lived in Pioneer Heights, the apartments I lived in the previous year. The other, like me, had lived there before. Though I might not have known these two, it is a still a shock to my mind. It shows how close we all are to danger and how we truly do not know what is occurring as we go about our day. We do not know what our school mates, classmates or even friends are thinking. It makes one truly wonder who is worthy of trust.
Now that I have begun a new school year. I cannot help but wonder what it has in store for me. I hope there is excitement and new experiences but I also hope that my future is warded against all evil and all pain. For me, and for my loved ones.
Well, here’s to a better year.

A NEW YEAR

Yep! It's begun all over again. A new year at CSUEB. This is the ending of my second week. I know tomorrow is Friday but well, i don't have any classes so i am free. I'm tired as hell right now. Hell i am amazed that i have the energy to write a new post. I wrote a bit in my diary too but not much, my hands hurt. with
Hmmm. . . I am really looking forward to this school year. I hope it will be filled with fun new experiences and new friendships. Of course i hope the classes are easier since right now classes are hectic, to many students. I recently began working at SCAA as a writing tutor. It was hard at first but gradually i grew accustomed to it.
I bet there are a bunch of mistakes in this post but you know what? I DONT CARE I NEED SLEEEEEEEPPPPPPP! 'Night.

San Francisco

Yeah today i went to San Fran with my folks and let me tell you this: never in 100 years will i ever drive through the city streets! Not unless i had no other choice. It was so scary i seriously thought that we were going to die, and believe me i am not exaggerating this because i have been to SF over 100 times in my life. This was by far the worst experience i have had thee. Why? Because our car decided to f**k up when we least expected it. It is either the starter or the battery. It was a miracle that after a few whacks the car started and we were able to get to Hayward to drop off some paper work and then we were able to get home. but once more the car died as soon as my mom parked it in the driveway. a miracle indeed. At least we are home. Well i have other stuff to do so i will go now. Adios folks.

Orphan

Hello there folks, sorry i haven't written for a while. Anyway yesterday i went to the theater with some friends. A few of us went to watch Orphan and the others G-Force in 3D. Yeah...not that great. Orphan was ok but it was more like a twisted macabre version of the Bad Seed. It was fun hanging out with my friends only a lot of them had to leave after the movie ended. After that my sister, Marco, and Jose went to hometown buffet to eat, then hung out at the mall, went back downtown to drop off Jose and then got dropped off at home by Marco. It was fun. I am tired so i will write more some other time. by the way i posted up two chapters to a story i am writing, it is like the diary of my character. Check it out and enjoy it people, follow the link to my other blog, the Darkness one. K Byes.

New Posts

I have posted a couple poems written by yours truly on my other blog, From The Darkness of My Mind. So check them out folks. one is called Faith, and the other Walking In The Dark.

Summer Blues

What's with the freakin' heat!? I'm practically melting every time I step out of my house. I think I'm going to die, no seriously I'm ganna die before the summer is out. I'm going to melt until I'm nothing but a puddle beneath my cloths and shoes.
Okay. . . I'm exaggerating so what? The heat's making me loony.
Anyway I'm going to start learning how to play the keyboard. I just got an old 62 key one at a shop. The first thing i plan to do is learn the order of the keys from C, C sharp, and all that jazz. Also i have to learn how to read sheet music. Sure i used to know from playing the violin but i have no idea how to do it for a piano. Anyone willing to help me out? Besides the coolness of getting a keyboard i also got stuck with jury duty as soon as i got home from campus. Just my bloody luck. And no, not just normal jury duty, but grand jury a nine day process with a new case every day and the nine days are scattered though three weeks. Luckily quite a few were canceled. i was late today too, even though i actually got up early this time. Shit. Anyway that's all I got to say, the more I write the more I realize that all I'm doing is complaining. Adios folks.

Eye of the Tiger!!!!!

Hahahahahahaha i couldn't help but pick that title. since the song's all about survival i though it would be fitting since i have successfully completed my first year of college. I am seriously going to miss my dorm and the freedom i had but oh well. I wish the year had not gone by so fast. Now i'm back home and searching for a summer job while trying to hang out with my friends as much as possible. I am thinking of starting a scrapbook. But since i am not that good i am not so sure. Thats all for now folks. Adios.

Two Days Left Until The End

I cannot believe that i only have two more days left here in cal state east bay before i leave my dorm for good. Summer time sure arrived quickly and since i am not taking summer course i have to leave. I'm going to miss my dorm *sigh* but oh well Que Sera Sera right? (What will be will be.) I guess i better start studying for my finals again, or else i wont pass. Byes then.
