so now they won't play anymore videos.

seeing trl gone makes me feel old. also, seeing rap city gone makes me feel older. i still have no idea why they had to get rid of rap city. rap city still played its music videos, and they got rid of mtv jams and yo mtv raps ages ago. it was sad to see trl go though, during its run i was a watcher, but when carson daly left, so did a lot of what mtv stood for. so to see carson daly back for a 3 hour set was great. and seeing the old school people come back to show their love for a countdown show that managed to get in a ten year life span was very cool too. i didnt care for the new stuff that was coming out and making it on the show, cause as we all know, music just went downhill. and they also stopped playing videos too, or they would get in just the chorus of the song then continue with the countdown. i remember one time where, i kid you not, the countdown lasted 3 minutes, and they bullshitted through the rest of the hour. sad. but anyways, mtv i hate you.

so today i ran into someone that i havent seen in a long time and it was a lot better than what i thought it would be. it was one of those things where the last time you saw them that, you kinda left on a bad note. and you think about, “oh crap, what am i going to do if i bump into them”, type thing. and so i bumped into them and it was ok, really no hard feelings and we just had a good talk. 

there is a new blog up between me and a group of friends that are starting up a studio. its called left hand studio, and our blog is lefthandstudios.wordpress.com, in it will be just the things that inspire us, what we like, and other various blogs. but do check it out.

lick a shot.

 

a good day.

i’ve had 8 years of pent up anger, and it was so good to see how many people felt the same way. in 2004 i was so depressed that john kerry didn’t win. you become apathetic. even four years later from that election, it was about time people started to realize that our country was headed in the wrong direction. it was just amazing that bush wasn’t impeached for all those crimes that any average joe would be caught for. i know that being a lame duck president, there isn’t much that you can do. but i didn’t think that they were hardly going to do anything. for the readers, when was the last time you saw bush and cheeney? what good did they do in 2008?  i don’t remember anything that they did. 

i personally, don’t have a problem with mccain. he is a bit old and i wanted a long term president who could fix these problems that the nation is facing. i salute his duty as an american and what he has gone through in the vietnam war. he gets nothing but my respect, i just didn’t want him to be my president at this time. i had a bit of a problem with palin though. it was a good strategic move on the republican party to get her after obama got bidden for vp, but felt more like the a strategic move to get hillary supporters rather than trying to grab everyone. but i will say that i’m glad she got in so we can see tina fey again.

well today comes around, i’m not gonna front, but i was scared that obama wouldn’t win. i had the thought, maybe palin stole some votes with her cuteness and alaskan songbird charm of hers. i mean, george w. did get re-elected, it could happen. so when i turned on the tube i saw mccain had a 16 – 3 lead. and i was real scared that it was going to happen. but during hour two of the political marathon, obama jumped out ahead, and then it looked good from there on. 

it was quite interesting to see the two parties and their gatherings. i really wished that i was in chicago, i would have gone to grant park to witness the event. the crowds were gathering and getting larger and larger at different venues. new york looked like new years eve, washington d.c. was stirring up, chicago was looking like a big ba-rock the bells show. whereas, the mccain groups were very small, indoors, except for the main one in arizona. and im not sure if i saw a large diversity in ethnicity in his parties. 

so 8′ o clock came around, and the news reporter says. “its 8 o clock and polls are now closed. and barrack obama is our new president elect.” it was kind of weird in my mind because it hadn’t hit 8:01pm and seemed like they didnt even mind checking into the numbers. im not one who wants to second guess the numbers, but i thought it was surprising how quick they did it. i was so used to waiting on days for recounting and waiting til 12 for someone to concede. and as soon as he won, i clapped. i was very proud of him to win. i believe that he does give us hope, and just him winning and seeing everyones reactions, it made me believe it could happen. 

everyone was so happy (except for arizona). in my life, i have never seen so many people so happy on a tuesday ever. it was the 8 years of anger that everyone had. and to see the people happy for once it was a beautiful thing. i felt like i was in “a moment”. it was one of those brief feelings where i was connected with america. it doesn’t happen often, especially through politics, but when obama had his acceptance speech and everyone was listening, i felt connected again. his speech was amazing btw. and when they showed jesse jackson crying, i had to hold that one in. even though he said he wants to cut his balls off, i truly think that those tears were from years and years of oppression and for his friend dr. martin luther king. 

well anyways, i know that i think im rambling on a subject that people already know about with all the coverage thats been going on, so im just going to leave it here. i’m very happy about this, and i think it will fix our image internationally. i don’t think it will fix our economy right away, because WE have to fix that ourselves. and it won’t happen in one year either, it will be a long term fix. but yeah i  do feel that a change gone come. 

so who wants to fly?

hmmmm...

im not one to really believe in horoscopes, but yet again astrology.com got it right. anyways, yeah im 25. it’s still kinda hard to fathom, i lived to be older than the notorious big. and next im going to pass up 2pac. im sort of glad that 24 came and went.i’d like to call it the worst and least productive year of my life. everything from quitting that last job, to knowing how it is to be a graphic designer in a free lance world, and just knowing the feeling of being under appreciated. its just been terrible. but i will say i’ve done a lot as far as getting to go out, but it still isn’t where i feel like i should be. 

a couple days ago, i had my family birthday party. it was tied together with my nieces birthdays because rona jane’s birthday was the 13th and charlene’s was the 20th. my mom had to work on my bday so they decided to do it on the weekend. it was cool and all, got to see my cousins of course, and my nieces and nephews. so it was alright, even though i didn’t feel as if it were my party. i got me some cash… but now i gotta pay the bills. ugh. 

(this blog is so out of order btw)

tonight was interesting. i finished editing my youtube video of me at the lakers game:

that game was pretty fun to be at. with the exception of the “get out of here” “holmes, dont you know that team doesn’t exist” and boooooo’s. i think this game could have been a lot better too, if only people bought tickets to it like i told some to do. but yeah, overall, its been a fun birthweek.

it’s pretty early in the morning right now, and i’ve received birthday greetings already. first place goes to gladys for commenting 2 days in advanced. 2nd place goes to jose, for kickin it at the family gathering, im sure he enjoyed the food. 3rd place goes to christine for actually sending me snail mail! props on that, and it coming a day before my birthday, had to have planned that one out.  and thank you to ashley for hitting me up earlier. i got a call from mom about 2 hours ago, she called me from work just to tell me happy birthday, and i told her thanks for giving birth. =) .. i love mom. and not to long ago i got another greeting from another blogger. 

 

alerissa. resse. rissa. ressa. =)

shes good people. oh and i got serenaded too?! 25 is already looking good. ok, im getting tired and i need to get up semi-early to go attend some business stuff. anyways, thank you thank you thank you to all those who told me happy birthday. i don’t need much for my birthday, i just need for someone to remember my birthday. and you’ll know why i hate halloween as much as i do. ok ok. im off to sleep.

p.s. don’t look into her eyes.

 

don't do it!
