Catching some cosmic rays

it's 2008, year of the rat n shit haha.

Christmas and new years eve weren't bad at all, better than last year for sure. For christmas family came over here  and for new years we went over to my uncles place in Lancaster. It's not that bad over there but it gets cold and it's far away from everything so I wouldn't want to live there. 2007 went by quick which was a good thing cause it was pretty much a fail for a bunch of things. Now I get to try all over again with renewed spirit because it's a new year :D so good times. What a weird hour to make a post huh? but I can't sleep, my sleep cycle is all messed up and the only cure for it is more cowbell. Later mangs, happy new year

glassjaw is the shit mann

haha this baby means business. How have you cats been doin?

^ because I woke up at 10 today I missed the delivery of a bike I ordered. Hopefully they come by again tomorrow morning cause I want the f-ing bike already. So what's been happenin you say? well I went to watch Transformers the other day and it was good stuff. Not so much the story but the comedy, action and effects in it made it not suck. I'm looking for another job again so we'll see what's up with that. I bought tickets to go watch the fall of troy in august on 2 different nights and it's going to be tight. I also kinda want to go watch chromeo, so steve you pisa! lets go. I've been playing Halo 2 these past few days and it's been fun so i'm going to play some more in a little bit.

deftones concert tonight, I hope they play like they did last time, If they do then dayum it's going to be a great night.

Stuff I got on my photobucket, I used to have a S load of pictures but I deleted them all.


( more shit )

I've been slacking on the livejournal posts but it's alright. It's hot and i'm sleepy but I felt like posting something so yeeeeah. For the past couple of weeks i've been working on a flash project for  a music website and at 9am today i'm turning it in and hopefully getting paid. I'll link you all to the website once my work is uploaded, what I worked on looks pretty cool.

 I was pissed off last night because of the people living upstairs, they're the most annoying and disrespectful people i've ever come in contact with. So i've started to look for other places where we can move and not have to deal with any of this. Thing is though that not many places are available at the moment (no places we like, or in our price range) but something is bound to pop up. I was being cheap and got a 12 dollar keyboard today...another BIG MISTAKE haha now I gotta go back and return this non responsive mutha! for an actual good one. I might go buy some clothes too if i'm not feeling too lazy.

Why was 6 afraid of 7?

I had a pretty uneventful week except for a few things. I finally got a F-ing cell phone so I don't have to deal with telemarketers n shiet on the house phone. Went to meet up with that guy who needed the animation done, but what does he give me to work on? a website. I ain't no web designer maannn haha and on top of that I do have to work on an animation for him. I can tell he's cheap though and won't wanna give me the cheddah that I need. He asked me if I would be interested in working for him full time but i'm going to have to decline. I'm an animator and I want to bring characters to life. It's good to know how to do more things but either way I don't wanna be doing scripts for websites. I might sound like I think I'm the shit but it's not that, I'm just not really feeling this gig. When i'm done i'll be able to put this on my resume though and hopefully it'll be easier to get some better animation jobs. On the way back home from that guys office I almost got in a car accident. It was lame but to make a not so long story way short here's what happened.

On the freeway
Idiot old guy pulls into my lane from a stopped position (his lane was to exit and traffic was stopped)
I had to slam on the breaks and the car skid like 20 feet (more or less)
Probably a couple feet from hitting the jerk
The car that was behind me also had to break real hard
I got scared but my catlike reflexes kicked in on time
The old jerk had pulled into my lane so he could pass up all the cars and get to the exit faster

If the guy was going to do that he should have made sure to haul ass and get up to speed. So yeah that was my week haha. I spent most of the cash I had on getting the phone but I'm gonna have more in the bank to pay for service until I get a stable job. This coming week I'll probably apply to some other places, keep working on the animation gig, and if I have some free days I'll go work with my cousin.

One of my longer posts eyy?

Right now i'm deleting music that I don't listen to anymore to make room for music that I DO want. I'm probably going to put Akira on in a little bit because I haven't watched it in a long time. Today I got a call from a guy who wanted some animation done for his website, so we set up a meeting for tomorrow at 11AM. Hopefully all goes well cause I don't wanna drive up to Northridge for no reason! but i'm always optimistic and it's definitely a job I can handle. What I'll be doing is animating a character with a guitar for both the website and a short video, probably for a commercial? anyways wish me luck.

So it's friday again and oh mah gah! i'm tired and sleepy. I got some money now though  : ) so it's time to spend, but not too much.  This week my cousin asked me if I would go work with him and I said yeah. He was remodeling a bathroom and damn it was hard work. Kept coming home all sore haha. It's really not my kind of thing but a good thing about it is that my cousin and I talked about the good ol' days. Tomorrow i'm going to k-1 dynamite usa  so it should be fun times. I'm going to take my camera so  I hope we score good seats.  My bed is call ing my name so i' ll be back later.

Wasn't a bad day at all and since it was memorial day I hung out with my brother. Woke up at around 9:45, my brother was already up and just playing guitar. I made myself some of this

I'm always kind of disappointed because I never see much color but it was good stuff. We watched a couple episodes of freaks & geeks then I asked him if he wanted to go running. So we got ready and set off for Griffith Park, I heard there was a fire there but I figured it would be ok to go by now..WRONG! it was still closed and we had to drive back. We ended up just exercising out back for a while by doing some jump rope, jogging, sprints, and finally I lifted weights.

Over the weekend my mom asked us if we could wash her car and we did it today. It was dusty and the windshield had all this bird crap on it, gotta love them birds.

(I had a bunch of pictures I was going to post but I'm having computer problems so I'll just save em for another day.)

The new Circa Survive album is real good stuff.  Been listening to it  non stop for the last couple of days. It'll be officially released on the 29th but they put up all the songs on their myspace. I hope i'll have money to go and buy it when it's out cause right now my wallet is hungry for some $bills. Today I  didn't do much (just like last friday *angry face*) but in the morning I poured myself a bowl of cereal and watched Freaks & Geeks. After that I just killed time by cleaning my room a little. Ever since I finished school i've had all this damn free time that I don't even know what to do. Really thinking it's time to start dating and get myself a girl again. Soon i'll start working and have money to go out and do whatever.

I can't fully extend my right arm cause it's rocked right meow. I started lifting weights again this week so that's the reason. I'm not trying to get all dieseled out n shit but I wanna get more definition/strength. 3 months from now we'll see how far i've gotten :)

^ haha those gifs made me laugh


I still haven't had to go into work, I'll probably start next week. Hopefully they call a few days in advance so I can get ready. Aside from that the things i'm looking forward to include:

UFC this saturday
New Circa Survive album
k-1 Dynamite USA event
deftones concert
Buying a bunch of dvds this weekend
Getting a haircut

Can't think of anything else to say so I'll be back later!
