If you don't know now you know

Started school and have been there for two days. Bottomline is that school blows dogs for quarters. I have a couple of interesting professors though: an old British hag, an eccentric hippie, a New Yorker who wrote "Space and Race" (an examination of race relations on Star Trek and Star Trek: Next Generation) and one more(see the photo). It's pretty trippy how one could make such stereotypical generalizations in order to typecast and categorize people immediately. I do it for humorous purposes.

The first day of school makes you feel like a fucking five year old

This is what night school does to you! P.S. killer lens

a sunday afternoon in Little Tokyo

I rolled around yesterday in Little Tokyo w/ Data and Midzt for a chill session. Highlights include: Spracker Steven almost getting tazored by a Japanese body guard for kooking out, skating at the ghetto park, and trying not to have my board land in some doo doo butter (human and animal fecal excrement).

Anti-War Demonstration

On Saturday I went to an Anti-war/U.S. imperialism march in Downtown L.A. with my family. Prior to meeting up with the marchers, my younger sister and I went on an anti-blood diamond excursion through the Jewelry Mart on Broadway while seeking solace from the rain. It was so successful my mom dropped six bills on everything but blood diamonds! A little excessive from my perspective. Proceeding we went on the march, to Olvera St. and finally to Phillipe's for a classic french dip turkey sandwich.

This girl's rad! Not only did she make her own sign, she was also screaming at the top of her lungs for what seemed like a fucking eternity.

Dogs protest too!

Dogs protest too, two.

"Cause I gots to get paid!!!"

All smiles in the rain

Last Friday of Winter Break

Today was my last official weekday of Vacation before heading back to school. Woke up late, but once the ball was rolling it was pretty enjoyable. I spent the day rolling around on a wallride binge with Sheldon. We saw this dude walking down an 18 stair with a new stereo in box having trouble. He asked for our assistance and we kindly obliged, the catch was the box weighed less than 5 lbs. and the guy was 2.5 times the size of me. I began to postulate the paradigm regarding the significance of mental strength when completing a physical action. . . Fuck it! I met up with Rick for a minute, hit up Eddie in the evening and we rolled out for a night of shenanigans and rambled to the pool haul with Brian and Ross. Later, Celine gave me a ride to visit her sister in Brentwood. This day was randomness; I saw a skunk, two deer, and what i thought was a mountain lion. Bottomline: good times.

The Inaugural Post

I recently won a Panasonic Lumix FX50 in the raffle at the "Girl Open House"(I will post the flicks w/in the next week). I guess you can say this is an experiment of sorts to assist me in the habitual utilization of this gift. Being that it is camera of choice for the bloggers of Panasonic's Share the Air Campaign, I want to give them a shoutout and thank Sam Smyth and "Animal Chan" for dropping the ball.

Here are some of the photo's taken this evening.
