addiction

i'm addicted to buying cds now, instead of getting the mp3s.. even though i have hella friends that have shady ass connections like that..

but yea.. i kinna only like listening to cds that i've actually purchased now.. it's weird..

okay.. maybe that's a lie.. i buy cds from artists that i really like and would like to support AND don't really look like they're swimming in money... yea, cuz i don't support that MTV crib shit..


anyhow. here are some examples of what i've bought in the past couple of weeks..

I haven't listened to this one yet.. i just bought it an hour ago.. i'll tell you how it goes though..
















even though this album is old, it's a classic, and it's never to late to buy a classic..

















this one is kinna outta my league.. but whatever.. you gotta try something new once and awhile..


















ATTENTION: no one else has posted about amy winehouse yet.. so before she gets big.. or not.. just know that i found her first!!@#!@#!


the album is dope by the way..
sounds like etta james with swear words..

music to ears is like sun rays

i would like to send a sincere apology to....




my ipod..



the battery ran out on my ipod awhile back and i didn't charge it for almost 3 weeks!.. i wasn't sure if i was gonna be able to resuscitate it after so long, but don't worry.. she's ok now..


i didn't get a lot of sleep last night.. but i wanna write in this blog cuz i finally have some free time.. but i don't know what to write about.. this post has seriously taken me like 2 hours of idle-listen-to-music-surf-the-internet-try-to-write-in-your-blog time... maybe it's cuz i didn't get a lot of sleep..

it's funny seeing freshmen in the etcheverry computer labs working on their e28 (CAD class) homework.. that was me 4 years ago.. it's funny how they say it's hella late already when it's like 11pm.. and i'm getting there at like 1030 just starting.. oh silly freshmen..

for once.. i truly wish i could devote more time to my studying.. i know it sounds hella stupid for two reasons... 1) why am i being such a nerd hella wanting to do my homework??.. and 2) why don't i just stop some of the things i'm doing so i could free up more time for homework??... i wish it was that easy to quit things.. but i am having fun doing everything..

anyways.. can't wait for next semester, when i can focus on school.. and start fresh with some other things..

lead singer/rapper of the roots, black thought, makes the SAME EXACT reference to charleton heston in two songs.. one on the track "in the music" off of "game theory"; and one on "my favorite mutiny" off of "pick a bigger weapon" by the coup.. actually it's a reference to one of my favorite movies, "bowling for columbine"..

bet you didn't know that..

school is soo cool

the northside "asian ghetto" in berkeley is an interesting place. it's not the most delicious place to eat, but it can be considered a "good-place-for-cheap" restaurant plaza. actually, most of the restaurants are kinna grimy, and i'm almost positive that the fried rice from TC garden is actually recycled rice. recycled as in they take the rice that people leave on their plate and just fry it...
that's pretty gross.. maybe they don't do that.. but if you ever eat there.. think about what it looks like.. and why they give you soooo much..

which brings me to the point of my blog.. even though it's not anywhere close to a really good place to eat, the northside ghetto feeds some of the smartest people in the engineering industry.. a lot of the big bosses in the microlab go to eat there.. and i see a lot of my professors, many which are considered to be at the tops of their respective industries, dining in the northside ghetto.. it's pretty funny actually...


makes me feel funny eating the same food that they eat..

realization weekend

does that count as illiteration??.. realization weekend??.. sounds nice right??..

actually this weekend isn't about realizations.. i actually knew this shit long before this weekend.. this weekend should actually be called supporting-evidence-weekend.. but that's not illiteration...

supporting evidence that you don't care about anything or anyone but yourself. but you can hide it pretty well. meaning people think that you care about them..


by the way. i'm gonna miss some shit this week because there's this benefit on thursday and benefits are supposed to make you think that i actually care about whatever the hell it's benefitting when really i just wanna go to the benefit afterparty..

yes.. ding ding ding.. you're all correct. these are all fuckin judgements. prove me wrong. i have a right to be mad.
keepin it real.

worst week in the history of me

*this one will be fiery*

somebody ever tell you that everything will be ok as long you try your hardest

yea.. people usually tell you that after you procrastinated too too much and ended up with an amount of work and corresponding amount of time that didn't really match up, logistically..

yea.. well.. that wasn't really the case for me.. i mean.. i procrastinated moderately, just for most of the weekend.. but i worked every day from sunday night at about 6pm all the way to thursday 9am... slept about 5 hours a day.. except for wednesday night.. i had a lot to do, but figured that as long as i didn't mess around too much i'd finish.. i even skipped a couple of meetings and a practice that i'm supposed to be at.. logistically, it was all pretty feasible.. and i wouldn't consider that trying my absolute hardest, but pretty frickin hard and dedicated..

anyways, it's thursday and i'm in class and i haven't finished everything i needed to finish.. i spent most of wednesday night working on something for some class (most meaning all but 1 hour which i spent lyind down trying my very hardest not to fall asleep, only so i wouldn't sleep through my midterm) and i'm not posting this to try and brag about how much i had compared to you.. i mean.. you might've had more..

i'm just trying to say that i tried my hardest, and it wasn't enough.. and it doesn't feel ok.. it doesn't feel like everything is gonna be ok.. it feels like crudddd....

usually when i spend an all nighter.. there's a certain sense of tired ass satisfaction when it's like 8am in the morning and you're done.. but this morning felt absolutely horrible.. i think it's one of the worst feelings i've ever felt.. working through the whole night and not being able to finish..
not not not good good good..

on top of that.. i was looking forward to thursday night because it meant that i would be done with everything and i could enjoy the rest of the week in peace.. but that was taken away from me.. and now i'm just hoping that i'll get a day extension so as to not suffer a late penalty.. i tried my frickin hardest and i'll still get a late penalty..

whatevers.. i'm sorry if this is a ranting post.. maybe it wasn't so fiery...

i would like to shout out april for being so nice this week.. i really hate posts with mushy shit like that, but this week she gave me some really dope support when i was pretty much a lifeless academic zombie.. (yes i just said "dope" and yes i just used to as an adjective for support... support can be dope.. what's wrong with that??..)
but yes.. thank you "gf"riend.. let's get you a wii remote so you can play with me already..
