sunday august 24.

 

the band that everyone should know.

today was an interesting day.

we should start by saying that the usa men’s team won the gold medal, as said in the previous blog. and since im talking about today, it sure counts as being today. i ended up falling asleep close to 4 o’clock, then getting up at 10 to get ready to go to church. i think it was a new priest, cause i don’t remember this guy. but he was kinda dull. i could see it when i looked over to my right to see my mom waking up my dad in service. haha. my head was doing the same from last nights sleep. as the mass was coming to an end the priest says there are some community announcements.  so one guy comes up talking about this new church magazine. he starts to read an article in the magazine, and it just so happened to be a suicide note. it started off, “dear mom and dad, by the time you are reading this, i am already dead….”. it was safe to say that everyone in the audience had the “wtf? look” on their face. o_0 . and he kept reading it, it was kinda sad. i just thought it was weird as hell to be talking about that at the end of mass, i think it was wrong timing on his behalf.

ok, after that, ate lunch and went to the soon to be new looking montclair mall. right now it looks like shit, but they’re changing all or most of it. from the railings to the column supports and walkways. i guess they needed it to compete with fancy outdoor malls. there’s even a coach store, now they only need to re-open prime sports.  ok, so i went to the mall cause my sister needed to get her hair did. i went along cause i probably wouldn’t have done anything if i didn’t go. but i picked up an art magazine and headed back home.

i still felt tired and sleepy, but i got a call from alex asking me if im going to his show tonight, and i said sure, especially since i got in for free. and so i headed back to the same area i was just at. all day the heat was getting to me, and when i got to biacci’s bar, my head was starting to kind of hurt. and after another dope set by kidnapping the city ( go get their album ((plug plug)) , my head was getting to me. it might have been a mix of everything that was going on through the day, lack of sleep, hunger, heat.. i dunno. but i went back into my car to rest a bit. didn’t really want to drive with a bad headache. so i chilled and eventually napped in my car. woke up feeling a bit better but decided to call it an early night. 

i got to see the ending of the olympics. and it was great, except for those female gymnast from china. grrrrr too young! but yeah… end of the night was just me uploading pictures from ktc’s show. please support them, for i support good music. you should too.

part a.

well heres part a part b alcohol & brevity video that i did. im not gonna front i was a bit lazy to do anything fancy to it. so i just synced this sucker up, and put the two angles side by side. it actually makes for some interesting dichotomy (yeah i said dichotomy in a sentence). theres a part early in the video where the two guys are on the left side and emilie is singing on the right, which i really liked. its too bad that i hadnt planned on the angles and location of where the cameras were going to be, otherwise i would have loved to have it like that the whole time. i liked ended up liking the video because it keeps you busy at looking at the whole performance on what everyone is doing. but yeah, there it is.

oh yeah. chrissy’s going away to chino hills party was pretty fun. more because it was fun to see the peeps there. i knew about 70 % of the people there this time, and the percentage is getting lower and lower after each party. there was this steel reserve 40 ounce beer that was getting passed down that i didnt know about until justice handed it off to me. i saw kristian come into the party with a cool pack of bud lights i think, and so i thought oh, um i guess they got one for me. so the beer was in my hands and i kinda glanced at emilie and then to steve to see if they wanted it. and emilie already had a drink in her hand and steve just tipped it to me, so i just opened it up and started drinking it. and you remember the first time you put beer in your mouth and that feeling it gave you, it did that to me. i almost had the bitter beer face, but i kept going at it. so we were getting a little hot inside the house and so we stepped out to chill. by then i was about half way done with the beer. we talked some more until boy asks me, “hey, where did you get that?” and i replied back, “umm, im not sure, justice gave it to me.” and then boy looks at me and he looked a little ticked. then he tells me that the beer was like a year old. and i was a little confused, and just had the WTF type moment. it sucked. so i had year old beer in my belly. awesome. we poured that can out, ughhh, no more passed down beer for me. ever. anyways, it was a fun time with most of the crew, and a bit controversial with my shirt. but oh well. =P

id like to have a good night sleep.

well, i finished my amateur video for kidnapping the city. and when i mean amateur i mean AMATEUR. the story behind it is on the next blog down. but yeah, i finished it about 3 am yesterday. and for some reason i couldn’t go to sleep correctly. i have one of those contour pillows that supposedly make you sleep better and make you feel better, but it doesn’t seem like its working.

i got a message from my cuzzin joy today saying that she hasn’t seen the dark knight yet. and so you know what i did today? i upped the count to 3 with how many times i can watch that movie in the theaters. surprisingly enough, my sister even came to watch it as well. and my sister hardly watches movies. i really think the last time me and my sister watched a movie together was star wars episode 1. that was almost 10 years ago! anyways, i saw the dark knight at the imax screen again. after the third time, it still hasn’t gotten old on me. i absolutely love that movie. the action is there, the acting is there, the cinematography is there (especially on imax). funny part of the day was joy was coughing for 5 minutes straight during the movie, it was getting out of hand. haha. ok, im tired now. good night.
