ME GUSTA!!!!!!!!! Finally some change in San Jose....

San Jose doesnt have a really good music scence for younger kids in my opinion or really .... at all. The hardcore scene is old and annoying but Me Gusta is bringing something new and fresh to the Table. These Cats are doin there thang on the Mixes and epic beats. Check them out. Hopefully they will be doin shows soon. LOOK OUT FOR THEM!!! This Duo group has blown up pretty fast in San Jose and beyond.

ARTICLE ON THE LOSS OF HIS SON

SCHOOL SCHOOL MORE FUCKIN SCHOOL

SO.... SJSU has taken ahold on me and I am back on the Grind. Classes are goin pretty smoothly so far. Ive been doin ALL MY HOMEWORK!!!! :)))) yes yes I already have HW. Im startin to remember a little of the math problems in my class again. Feels good i guess. But other then Math, school is great. My art class today was really great. We had to Draw different objects/People without looking at out drawing paper. It was awsome! haha. My stuff came out good and bad. But it was fun just looking at the finished result when we were finished. Work today was okay, but really boring. I also finished my Photo HW early today! shietttt well All In had to do was print out a favorite photo of mine. I picked one of my old photos and emailed the photo to FotoXpress downtown. The photo was printed out and ready to go in 15 min!!!! So today I dont have any homework but Im still really tired... Gonna take a power nap soon.:))) We will see what later today has in store for me.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.... lAST DAY OF PARTYING?

WOW... Aight so this summer literally flew by so quick.. Where did it go??? I had so many plans which did not happen. I didnt chill with the people I said i was gonna chill with and I didnt get any fater. HAHA. I eat so much but the fat thing just doest happen. I guess I sweat it all out when I'm biking... Anyways this summer was a really good summer. I had some good and bad times and some close calls. Im really happy about taking some good photos this summer! ! ! I think the worse that happened to me over my vacation was getting hit my a car on my bike. Im glad I didnt get all fucked up but my bike definetly died that day :(( Im restoring it though with the help of my homie David. Planning on building it up again once I get the bike staight. The best part of this summer was just meeting so many new faces and becoming closer with my friends. I also moved out a little before summer so I have been living on my own this past vacation. It's a great experience and it has definetly made me see things differently. The main reason I moved out was because I wanted to be free from the naggings of my parents!!! I couldnt come home late when I was living with them because I would always wake them which resulted in many arguments. So I moved out downtown. I am still currently renting out the room downtown. I love it. I def still go back home to see my family and even sleep over sometimes. Living on my own has made me much more responsibe with my belongings and my money. I now have the responsiblity of not only paying my phone bill, but also paying my rent and school on top of that!!!! Im blessed to have my job. Ive learned to stretch the little money i have and also save up. Well.. Today is the fist day of school and I now have to get my act together. Last semester I didnt do so good so Im tryin to redeme myself this semester. I know if I focus (gonna be hard) I could get good grades and all that good stuff. I just needa put my priorities straight. So if you wanna chill. And I can't, its most likely because of School. You coul always come visit me downtown :))) haha. But hmmmm. yea so My first class today which was Drawing was quite interesting. I have the class twice a week. Its a 3 hour long class!! yikes. but I can obviously leave whenever I want since its college. The class today was the typical fist day of class. The teacher passed out the Green Sheet and read over the rules for the course. After we had to do some survey about why we are taking the class. The last thing she had us do was draw three pictures. The fist one was a stop sign and a rooster. The second one was a classmates portrait from the shoulders up. The last one was a chair in out class. The class was cool ... Now im at work typing away in my cubical. I have two more classes today and finsh around 9:00pm tonight. YEA LONG ASS DAY! ! ! ill keep you updated. Photos soon. PEace

YET ANOTHER SF ADVENTURE

AAAUUUHHHHH...... So im here in my small box I call my room. Just got out of the pleasant shower that washed off all the sweat and dirtiness of my adventure today. So you might not care what I did today but I like writing about it. SO HERE I GO! haa... Well my day started off with me waking up around 8:30am. The sun was out and I knew It was gonna be a beautiful day. I woke to up next to my laptop. The screen was still on and a Dragon Ball Video was still playing ( don't ask me why) So i check the time and tell myself that I still have time to sleep. The Caltrain wasn't leaving to SF until 11am and Im downtown already so I just thought id sleep a little longer. Time passes as I wake up and look at the time on my computer.... I wake back up at 9:30 to take a shower when Sasha calls me. I let her know that i was getting ready and that I would meet her after. So I take a quick shower (kinda).... then head back to my room and put ma cloths on. I put layers of shit on because I knew it was going to be cold there. So I leave my place at 10:35 and bike to Washington Mutual bank where i was goin to meet Sasha. Time is running and it was already almost time for the train to leave! I get to WAMU and take money out . I see Sasha from a distance. Shes smilin and laughing because i think I did something stupid like alwaysss haaha... so I ride to her and tell her to get on my handle bars because we would be late if we walked the whole way. She was hesitant but she agreed to get on my bike. I rode with Sasha on the handle bars until she got hella scared and wanted to get off . But we made it half ways so it was good. We walked the rest of the ways to the San Jose Diridon station. It was 10:50!!! we had 10min and we still needed to buy our tickets!! So we arrive at the train station and there is a HUGE line!! My hopes of making the 11am train dropped... it was now 10:56 and we had 4 min before the train was to leave. Sasha and I finally get our tickets ( we get the youth cuzz we still pass as 17 year olds... hahaha) so we run to the train which is on lane 3 and its 10:59 when we bored the train!!!!!!! the train leaves almost right after we get on!!!! I was hella glad we made it. The train ride was really chill. Sasha and i talked about school, friends, music and other random stuff. I looked out to see the graff art on the walls and saw some knew ones up ... Usually its the same ones that are always there. But yea.... we arrive in SF at 12:30. I get my bike out of the train. Sasha and I found out that it was pretty cold compared to san jose today. But it was beautiful in SF!!!!!! The clouds, sun and breeze felt wonderful. So sasha and I take the 47 bus to Market St. We get of and head towards Mcdonalds ( we were starving) This Mickey D's was very different. U walk in and there was only one long family looking table to the right of the place. So were orded our Food... Sasha got the usual McNuggets and I got a BigMac and a Double Cheeseburger and some fries. So the thing that makes this Mcdonalds unique is that all the rest of the seating is UNDERGROUND!!!! hahaha there is a stairway leading down to the seating area. Sasha and I walked down and found a seat to eat at. There was a funny smell downthere but we just ignored it. THe food was whatever ... I got fool so I was happy. Sasha and I finished and headed out from the underground Mickey D's ahha. Alright so we leave Mcdonalds and as we are leavin some dude asks us for change. I knew he was gonna buy beer with it so I told him no and we went on.... You cant trust those people especially in Sf! Sasha and I head down Market and go into the big ass mall that is like 5 stories tall. We already got tired looking at the place so we only covered the first floor. MALLS SUCK! We leave then go into some cool shops. I go into this one clothing/shoe Hip hop Shop. Its a sick ass place. They have a lot of Bay Area rep clothing. And also a lot of sick Nike's. (JORDANS, DUNKS ETC...) Sasha ended up buying some T shirts for her cousins in North Carolina because she is visiting them in two weeks!!! I end up buyin a " I paint SF" t shirt. We leave and catch the 71 bus to go to HAight st. I call my homegirl Gracie up and let her know that we are headed to Haight st. Gracie is a sick ass person!!! She lives in Sf and know all the good spots. So Sasha and I get of at Upper Haight st with all the Hipsters. ahahah. We hit a lot of the Stores and we both spend some cash on some cool cloths. :))) After leaving Crossroads, gracie calls me up and lets me know that she is heading over. Before Graice met up with us, I had already bought a pair of 501 jeans, a fantasia t shirt and another t shirt. ahah. Sasha bought some stuff too. So we meet up with Gracie and decide to head to a Zine festival at Golden gate park. I was excited because art is a big part of my life. There were so many sick ass artists there. And Gracie had told me that she had made a book for me! She gave it to me there ... Its a sick ass book for my random sketching. So we look around, and meet new people. Everyone was really chill and cool. The whole Zine thing made me wanna start doing one again. Gracie and I agreed that we are gonna start making a lot. :))) So After about 1 1/2 hours off lookin at all the art... We head back to the 71 to go the haight st. Gracie needed to sell some clothes at Buffalo Exchange. So we stopped there and I forgot to mention that gracie had given me an American Apperal Gift Card!! So while Gracie was waiting in line to sell her clothes, Sasha and I went to American Apperal . I ended up buyin a sick grey hoodie with the gift card and some of my cash. After we head back to Buffalo Exchange and Gracie sells some cool stuff. She gets 10 bucks which went to buying American Spirits :)) haha. We leave haight st. and Catch the bus to Market. The bus is JAM PACKED!!!!!!! to make a long story short, we get of on 4th street and MArket and wait for another bus to take us to the Caltrain Station. We arrive at the station around 6:30pm. I buy some Ciggs fo Gracie we says our goodbyes and Sasha gets some Subway. I end up seeing my Friend Phil from San Jo. ( HE Might do my Tattoo :)) ) After I get my bike from the bike area and Sasha and I board the train. We were very lucky to find some seats!!!!! I sleep the Whole way back and Sasha does too ... i think.. haha. My bro calls me on the train and We end up meeting up downtown san Jo. Sasha And I get to San Jose Around 8:30pm. We take the bus back to downtown and says our goodbyes. I then Meet up with my brosky Dom and we Chill for a bit. We go by this wack ass hardcore Show at the MACLA then leave pretty quick. That scene suckssssss... sorry. so We leave and Dom is on my Handle Bars. OH I FORGOT TO SAY ... before that Dom is riding on my handle bars and we crash into this stupid indian chick. She couldnt make up her mind. SHe rides in the middle of the street and just stops. What an idiot. Then She blames it on us. So anyways I end up droppin Dom off at his friends car. I go to Iguanas to get a fatty Burrito. mmmmmm it was bom :))))) After I head back home .... take a shower and now im right here in front of my fuckin MAC. ..... Santa Cruz manana!!!!! :))))) goodnight fuckasss
