Different...

It's really late, or really early in the morning, however you want to look at it. I'm not sleepy, but I'm sick so I wish I was able to sleep. Besides being sick it was an amazing weekend. Filled with people I love to be around. Friday started with my Chem lab, I hurried out to try to get started on my weekend. Friday was my brothers birthday :) my mom baked a cake we all were home so it was nice. While Bryan and I waited for them to get home from work we decided to go on a bike ride. I took him to East L.A. haha yeah we noticed he was the only white guy within 10 miles. This is a place where my parents 1st lived when they were married and raised my brothers for a short time before buying our current home. Anyways, while sitting there eating our ice cream Bryan and I got on the topic about how different our backgrounds are. Even though we are so much alike we grew up so differently. I grew up seeing the world on bus rides through Los Angeles and bums on the streets. That's beside the obvious cultural differences. He never really saw LA like I did until we met. But it's amazing how two people with such different lives could end up so good together. You learn from each other and grow in very many different ways. You see life is such unique ways and really get an inside look on someone understanding of the world. We rode our bikes back home and I'm pretttyyy sure I impressed him with how fast I was riding.(haha i hope...?kidding) Then there was Saturday was also amazing. After sewing for an insane amount of hours, Bryan came over to go mountain biking with my brother, uncle, and friends. (side note: i think it's amazing that they get along soo well) We followed it with an amazing dinner and too much time in front of the TV with my brothers, watching a show we didn't know we would end up liking. That sums up my weekend, chill but always fun :)

Divided We Fall

So I finally got to watch a film I've wanted to watch for a very long time, Darfur Now. If you don't know, it's a documentary that follows six people with the same goal, to free Darfur of genocide. This is as big of an issue now as past horrific problems were like, Nazi Germany, attacks in Argentina in 1976, murders in Rwanda, ect. People often blind themselves and indulge in ignorance but instead of not doing anything stand apart from the non-moving crowds and push yourself to do something for the simple need to want to change a life. Wether you sign a petition, begin to travel as a humanitarian, donate, or write a blog that you hope people really read. "Do ALOT more than nothing!" If these words mean nothing, watch this film and if this issue still means nothing well that is just beyond what my words can handle. If you do want to try to push for change, something is always better than nothing. http://www.takepart.com/darfurnow/ go to that link and you will find more information and ways you can help. Even though these issues started in 2004 and have been addressed people are still dying and together we can change but divided we will fall.

Sick, School, life...

I HATE being sick! Throat is all nasty so I can't talk or have fun. I was sick exsactly a month ago and usually I rarely get sick. I can't figure out the inbalance I've created that keeps getting me sick. My guess is my wack sleeping pattern.Whatever, life is life. But I will making a visit to my mom's nutritionist,asap.
More complaining anyone? ok... I am convinced that each professor I have this semester thinks I only had there class. Too bad I have 5 classes and in 10 days I owe my school 567 for ONE class. AH!!
I'll keep this blog short but not at all sweet.
It's time for my chem class, I'm not in the mood for fire and explositons becuase I rather be asleep!
This Friday one of my brothers turns 27, that's nuts. It's even More weird to think I'm 6 years away from that age.
this is the 1st verse of a song i love and it's on his myspace, guess which it is. (You will never guess.)

HolyDayzzzz...

This is a time that's supposed to be amazing in every which way. Instead the weather is HOT, and people are fooling themselves into thinking the economy is bad. I had this theory that if news cast would report the crisis is over and that everyone is shopping and spending like normal, everything would bounce back around. We're just too naive to realize the less we spend the less we stimulate the economy, but whatever. You live and learn. So Its already Nov.18Th and I have yet to buy a single gift and even further away from knowing what to buy. You think people you know soooo well would be easy to shop for...wrong. I've bought Bryan everything I could think of and now I'm screwed and have noooo clue what to get him. After like 3 hours on the Internet I think I have an Idea, kinda.

As for today I didn't have my 8am class which was GREAT! I got to make some bomb pancakes and eggs then drove to school for lunch with Bryan. After his bomb looking sandwich we went to out University Art Museum where I watched an artist do a live performance about her insomnia due to finding her close friend hung. It was pretty weird but it's insane the power of the human body and mind. I also saw some more Andy Warhol prints and a political piece by a dif. artist which was pretty cool(bellow) the whole room was filled this way

My day at school was the same deal and I am now finally done with my under collar for my Jacket!!! This is it in the process of...

My day then followed by Enchilada and rice dinner with Bryan, I thought it would cheer him up. We got bored and went to Target where he tried on a coat, every guy should own one!!They look amazing, and I wish he owned one... (yum!)

Yeah my Blogs blowww! but soon I'll catch the drift and write more entertaining ones with fun pics.

the vida loca...

I really hate doing about me's to be totally honest be here it goes. I'm a 21 year old that could buy beer at any time on any day. People make a big deal of this age but its aight. Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising are the pains in my ass right now, but I really wouldn't change that. I also like my campus becuase I get to sleep wherever whenever, except for under a certain treet those tricky little squirrels like to give me a hard time. I have an amazing family they are different and disfunctional but they are MY familia. I have amazing friends Jackie, Jarvina, Chris, Ben, Autumn, David, DaVon, ect. (If I didn't mention you, don't hate, you were included in the ect. part.) I drive this sweet 1993 truck that I absolutely love, and my broken down CheapChevy is sitting on my drive way. I often try to do too much at once. I enjoy bike rides and I wish I had time to go on one EVERYDAY. I love the ocean and have the most respect for the water, it is one powerful element. Mother nature is amazing and I love being out in it. If money wasn't the devil I would travel ALOT more. I hope to someday make a difference in this world and be someone that changes things for the better just becuase I can. Oh, and yes I still dislike writting about myself. And last but never least this fella named Bryan. He often likes to say the same things as me and the same exsact moment it freaks us out. We ride bikes together, backpack together, kayak together, and share very amazing memories together he is amazing and I am lucky.

whhaatt is thisss?!

I have no idea why I just created this savage beast(aka:my blog page) I've made a horrible mistake! (if you know what show that's from, Iprobably already love you) but what is done, is done.

I'm a weird 21 year old that wears a box on my head at all time...
