Meh
That's how I feel about the music scene today. I hate that 98% of the good shit that comes out now has either A. been underground or B. is still underground and you have to search for that shit. I'm not just referring to hip-hop but the whole music genre in general. Furthermore, it seems like when people rise to prominence they try to change their style, experiment, or evolve. I'm not saying its bad but its rare that the new style of music is awesome or any good, every now and then it so happens the music is good, but i haven't remembered when the last time this happened. Take for example John Legend and Common..... WTF happened!!! I need not explain more. I'm done for today. Sorry for the obnoxious ramblings. Heiwa

I took 3 dumps today!!!
Yeah I ate a lot last night and it came back on me today, never get high and then go to a buffet full of veggies, cuz that shit haunts you.
Anyways I saw this and its a nice sunset pic by Joryl. It makes me feel warm inside. Anyways that's it for today. Peace-Heiwa-

Did you know that I Exist before the earth And did you know my eyes Are windows to the world
You know there are two people in this world. People who understand Curt Cobain's writing, and those who don't, like people still try to ascertain what "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is about. I admittedly don't understand what he was putting across, but I can kind of understand where he's coming from and maybe that's what the point was supposed to be. ANYWAYS
These past three weeks have been a blaze for me. It feels like life has been moving at the speed of nuclear rockets, launching off. First slow, but once they gain speed its like WTF!!
In all honesty the feelings I have for things right now, I don't know how to post, or maybe I don't want to post, maybe its like little cultures that were destroyed in favor of national cultures, we're afraid of the fact something was destroyed. Thinking about it, I am at a loss for who I am as a person, relative to me and relative to others. Am I giving off what I want to be portrayed as? Where do I start? Does it begin with ethnicity? I'm a half breed who hasn't adapted a single of any of my cultures mannerisms. I can't speak tagalog, nor do I act like a filipino during parties or don't try to give myself off as one, and on the white tip, let's be honest The only cultural thing about white people is indie music or what they do socially, and I don't think I act white at all (notify me if I do).
It feels like a lot of my friends are changing or rather I'm changing and it they just don't feel the same anymore. Not to mention the people I hang out with at school (val, cherine, karen m, warren, and cyrenne) aren't really that close to me. I guess you could say its partially my fault since I don't put effort into building these relationships. People have always looked at me as this outgoing friendly dude, but I'm really just as introverted as everyone else.
Iono my head is numb from the blunt today, so that's it for tonight. Heiwa

Oh silly Michael and his Purchasing habits
This is the purchasing portion of the three weeks and my motivations behind said purchases. If you appreciate stories or reasons for purchasing things like I do then come on a journey with me.
I went to Finishline one day just to see what they had and low and behold I say these Air Force II's and started fiending for them. My mother promised she would buy me them on her payday. Low and behold when we came back they were sold out and thus I had to get a pair from another location shipped ot my house. After 5 days of inticipation they came in!!!!
OMG a box when I got home!!!
The beautiful new Nike shoe box they came in!!
and the actual shoes themselves.
Fuckin beautiful ass retros. The shoes colorway was inspired by the old Atari system.
I decided to get my brother a Christmas present and he's another sneakerhead so what better a gift than some sneakers to buy him, sharing our sneaker connection love. I went on a hunt and there were these Jordans that i was going to get as well, but when I went to buy them they were sold out and Nike couldn't ship it from another Nike town, being they were just released and super limited. So I went to Pickyourshoes.com and low and behold they were there albeit another 20$ more than proper retail. My brother also loves blue and thus i found the gift I was set on getting him while I was at the site, not to mention if I bought 2 pairs of shoes they would give me a free shipping code. Thus my tempation shot sky high. I payed by card and waited for them to ship, and kept track of the tracking on UPS daily. After a hard day's work of tutoring and school the box finally came in!!
Yes the opened package. I like taking pictures of the opened package and the shipped box because once you see it, it's like a super happy moment in your life. Kind of like Christmas, well for me anyways (don't judge me).
Here's the Jordans that I was fiending for a couple of months ago and when they released sold out. Thank god for pickyourshoes.com
frontal view
Now the frontal view of my brother's gift:
top view.
Its cool cuz of the blue and khaki colorway. And the material is suede and KEVLAR!! That's awesome.
It was on sale for 20$ so why not? i actually didn't know the sale was happening until Mendoza, Chen, and Warren were talking about it and copped their own pairs.
A new TRUE collaboration that just came out on the day of this post. Thought it was some cool Cali representation.
Other than that i got 2 new sweaters cuz there was a sale at the GAP. That's it for the vanity and fun of purchasing stuff. Heiwa

The Halloween Post
So since I haven't posted for the better part of three weeks I guess I'll just go through some major events...... Let's see oh the only major thing was Halloween and here were go.... I didn't do anything except try to paint Angel as Blues Clues, that was an epic fail and here are the pictures to prove it.
walking away in shame
Looking down in shame...
We just went to my cuzos house and passed out candy and that was fun. I have to say though Halloween seems to be dying out in Daly City. It seems like there are less and less people celebrating it every year.
