This Blog Needs Guns

I hate doing this through my phone but it would be impossible to do from my desktop, it's the mother of all snails when it's speed is challenged, so sorry for misspelled words, weird picture arrangements and just complete retardness (well you read all these things in all my blog but it's an excuse haha)

Hoy fue interesante, (today was interesting) the morning was the same as always breakfast served with a side of boredom, up until noon I was pretty much doing completely nothing. At around that time I learned a new song on guitar (Absentine Party At The Fly Honey Warehouse by Minus The Bear) and made a new one, too bad I could not record it, I have no access to the laptop.

A little after I went to Super Target and got myself a shirt, a button up and a hat, kinda like those Havana style ones, idk it looked pretty nice. I went home, showered again, ate and I went to this Youth Group that I'm part of, I had a fun time there, I got to see friends and got to spent time with them...
There are a couple things bothering me though, I feel content and happy at the moment but for some reason I find myself searching for something wrong. Today I saw something wrong on someone but that's not what I'm looking for because that's something I see every other week from the same person and it's completely retarded and unnecessary, oh not to mention very repetitive. It's that type of thing that concerns you the first time but once it's done twice a month and done to somewhat obtain attention of certain people
It kind of grows on you, it bothers and it shows you how immature some people can be. To be honest, it's not my problem and I'm obviously not the friend to solve it, well at least not the friend that person is looking for.

Ok sooo back to what ever I was saying, umm I search for something wrong when there is nothing wrong to be found. Maybe because that was today's mood, just somewhat slow and relaxed. I'm not completely sure, and I'm also not completely sure if you guys are going to get what I mean but hopefully you do...

As I was heading home I saw these two girls, more like teenagers, that seemed like they were taking a jog but were now resting and on their way back. One of them had one of those red blinking lights on her butt I guess so cars wouldn't hit her but I thought it was pretty hilarious. Well after seeing that I thought to myself, and wondered what they were thinking of or what they were discussing. Maybe they were just talking about their walk or maybe one of them had a very deep issue on her mind and she was sharing it with her friend who was there for her. Maybe they were just talking about school, or maybe they were talking about how one of them once fell in love and felt like the stars belonged to her at the time but now she realizes that she's still on earth, now that he's gone.Maybe a simple conversation about the type of shoes she's wearing or maybe a deep conversation on how one of them misses a close relative who just passed away, who knows what they were talking about. I'll never know.

"…I’m not happy here anymore.

We should’ve stayed at home tonight.
All the bright lights and company
are not what I need."

These are lyrics from the song "26 is Dancier Than 4" by This Town Needs Guns, They are for someone in specific, So they can relate to them, but they are for everyone else too. When i heard these words i realized i could easily relate to them so hopefully its the same for you readers. Hopefully that person gets over whatever is a bother and returns to normal, because its pretty dumB. Oh and sorry Ive been talking about this band so much it's just im trying my hardest to get into them and i promise you by the end of this week ill probably have someone new to brag about...

The pics were taken from an App i have on my phone that i took at Santa Monica last Sunday...enjoi

Sorry that my post have been utterly long and pointless it's just i always have something interesting in mind but it always comes out different.

Night and Thank You

Ever Dance Of The Winter

Sorry for posting yesterdays post today morning, its just i was with my friends all night yesterday and my day hadn't ended yet so i felt as if i couldn't blog about the day until i finished my day...ill explain

Today was pretty awesome, Recapping on the previous blog, I attempted to Lucid Dream but i wasn't successful. I understand its not a one shot thing so i followed the advice Maggie May (i believe that's your name, sorry if its not haha) gave me in a comment on my previous post. She told me that interrupting her sleep worked for her and i thought i wasn't going to be interrupted because i didn't set up any alarms but i actually woke up about for times and i was able to remember 4 dreams :)))) I know it's not lucid dreaming but it a big step for me because i have never been able to do that. I thought writing them down after dreaming them was going to be a hassle but it was pretty simple, and every time i read what i wrote i remember the dream vividly. I'm really exited for this, I wasn't able to remember any dreams this time (last nights (its morning right now)) because i wasn't at my own house so i couldn't really do it...ill Explain...

So today (yesterday), was really fun. I woke up late and with all these notes explaining my dreams. I also woke up to see what i had drawn the past night out of pure boredom which I'm somewhat proud of...a lot cleaner than my usual drawings. The afternoon was spent slow and lazy, I made some pancakes for me and my sister and from there i went upstairs to record the song i made a couple days ago again, I took a nap, Listened to This Town Needs Guns, Foals, and Look Mexico. The day started to go and i finally found something to do. At around 8 i got picked up by my friend Crystal and her mom to go to their house. After stopping at the store to buy burger patties and such we got bribed by some dude to go buy yogurt flavored DOTS...i truly hate dots but this guy gave us a dollar so we could buy them. They weren't that bad i guess...At the house we ate burgers and hot dogs and kicked back for a while up until so other friends came and we played video games and talked and joked around.

At about 2:30 for some odd reason we decided to leave the house and go to Wall-Mart and go buy foam swords so we can duel each other O_o"....To be honest i don't even know why we did this, it was completely random. So we go in the car all 5 of us and headed to the store while we busted some Red Hot Chili Peppers had sang to it. When we got there we realized that they had no toy foam swords?! Only 15 dollar ones! it was ridiculous, the expensive ones were awesome and we had a little duel at one of the aisles until we were abruptly interrupted by a worker. It as funny to see 5 rather grown up teens messing around like this (i say "rather grown up" because were still all kids haha). After not finding what we wanted we tried getting a board game but we couldn't decide soo we left and got breakfast at Jack in the Box haha that was something everyone decided on, even though Crystal's sister was falling asleep. We all got something (except her) and headed back home. When we got to the room everyone when to separate places to do different things and i was left alone with Ariana (crystal's sis, I've said this like 10 times already) so i decided to take a bite out of everyone's meal including mine and wrap them back up...It was hilarious how we all tried to figure out who it was, we were blaming each other but no one found out it was me :) After that we played Monopoly in teams (Me and Crystal, V.S. Joel and Danny) Me and Crystal are masters at this game...At first i though we were losing but when Danny stepped in all the wrong places it was just a matter of time and they couldn't pay what they owed us. Danny couldn't even pay, taxes or the rent of a street that was worth $22, he only had 7 dollars.

After we destroyed them we headed to sleep, and realized the sun was out and it was 6 in the morning....yeeea i haven't slept haha

The picture is just a kool picture i took of my printer's ink cartridge. I'm not sure why it attracted me it just did.

So I'm off, Happy Fathers Day and thanks Maggie May for the advice :)

So Lets Get Out of Here

Oh My, My...

I made an amazing discovery haha...but before that...

Today i went to Disney California Adventure, The other park next to Disneyland haha. We have a three day visit pass and this was our second visit so ill be blogging about that when the day happens.
I love this park it always brings back great memories especially of those i shared almost an exact year from today haha. Last year I went with my friend Andres and his sis and it was loads of fun...Today was also chill, we rode a lot of rides like; Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, California Screaming, Soaring Over California, and a couple more. We didn't get to ride one called Mahulland Madness which is one of my favorites because the park closed at 6!! Which is ridiculous!! But whatevers, its chill...up around 5 when i rode the rapids i tuned my I-pod to "This Town Needs Guns" (to their self titled album) which is a band that I've been trying to get into for a while now, and for a good 3 hours i zoned out...their music completely hypnotized me, i was in a spell of continuous folk guitar picking with complicated but simple rhythms and amazing off beat accents. My God! i could not stop listening to them (I'm doing so right now) not sure why i was just in love with the calm music and sublime lyrics that were so SIMPLE!!! They made song lyrics out of a simple poem but each phrase pierced and stung like bullet. I advice everyone to go ahead and check them out. My favorite song so far is "Its True Rufus, Don't Listen To The Hat" I adore the way he sings the lyrics and the whole song because it ranges from smooth to rough in seconds.
I still have to get into their second album but I first gotta get over this one haha.

Today i also got to draw in Disney, There is a place where they teach you how to draw Disney characters. I drew Pooh and Piglet. The Pooh came out FAT but Piglet came out better. After this I kinda realized i hadn't been loyal to the whole "art" part of the Blog which was the sol purpose of it haha. So starting probably next, next week I'll continue with my art, It's just that i have family over and all we have done is jump from Theme Park to Theme Park...soo ill come back to that later on this month.

Oh i recorded a song today, it's SUPER rough and Sketchy...A Lot of the tracks go off beat and the volumes and starts are a little off but i still made it into an MP3 just to have it and to be inspired to work on it. The song sounds like This Town Needs Guns and Look Mexico, I have no lyrics for it because is more like an Intro or a Filler Song...so if i fix it ill show it to you guys :)
Oh Congrats Lakers haha

I'm Off Now

Night
