Do It All

Drake's album is genius, minus "Fancy."

I've been working at my tia's Baskin Robbin's in Carlsbad, San Diego this past month, made some much needed money.

Family vacation next week, poker night tonight.

Yale!

I am currently at Yale visiting Ashley, big sister. She is 22 and graduating in a couple of days. It's crazy to think in 3 years I will be in the same position as her.

I haven't gone to the gym in 3 weeks. I am going today.
Get BIG!

Summer 2010, what's in store??

Brilliant

Great video!

Thanks for a great freshman years Haverford.

Rotations

This song has been played steady at every party I've been to this year and I had NEVER heard it before on the West Coast.

I must say I am impressed.
This song is dope, definitely party to this, I know through experience. Now go create your own experiences to it. Get it.

T-Minus

10 Days left of class as a freshman in college.


It flew by.
Utterly.

Saw XV, Chiddy Bang, and Dead Prez on Friday. Enjoyed the show.
Chiddy Bang makes good music. They don't make good friends.
XV makes great music. He's a great guy.
Dead Prez makes revolutionary music. They are an intellectual duo.

Left Up

If you are a fan of Little Brother I have urgent news for you. "Leftback" is out now! However though I greatly enjoyed the whole album, the sad news of it being their last record as a group marks another great end of a legendary hip-hop duo.

I definitely recommend getting here.
I hope they do a Jay-Z retirement, and come back in a a year with a banging new record.

Moving On, Not Forgetting

I am back at the 'Ford, sitting in my room feeling the rush of air my fans blows at me everything 20 seconds as it cycles around the room. I am so relieved to have gone home and been there with my family during this time of mourning.

We are strong through the support we give each other.

People come and go.
Family is always there.

Green Zone

Los Angeles is my Green Zone. I feel safe here, among family and close friends.

My spring break flew by, it feels like I just landed at LAX yesterday and already I'm taking off early tomorrow morning from LAX.

To all those who I spent time with, it means I hold you close.

Haverford, I'm gonna finish this semester strong.
I'm going in!

Hidden Treasure

I visited one of the besties last night at UC Riverside.
It was my first time driving all the way out there and DAMN it is far!
We went to CPK and had a great dinner/conversation catching up and all that fun stuff.

It was a nice drive back, gave me time to think because lately I've had a lot on my mind.

Tonight hanging with the homies, maybe KBBQ?
Great spring break so far.

Visitation Period

I arrived on Friday the 5th, and thus far everyday in Los Angeles has been great!
I've seen old high school friends and the close homies.

Last night went to visit Paolo at LMU with Simon and Micheline. It was overall a really chill night, conversation went everywhere you could imagine.

I guess every Monday night there is open mic' night and we saw quite a few singers who were really talented.

Great night!

At It Again

G 00

Gundam 00 has slowly drawn me in. I can't get enough of each season.
I'm currently on season 2 and still have 2 essays to write and a test on Friday.
Shit.

CP 2014

In recent news, the decisions dealing with who is going to be the customs people next year came out today. I was actually passive to the whole ordeal, yes I would love to be a CP, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if I wasn't in my mind.

I went to my mailbox around 2 PM. Opened it up, reached inside and pulled out a piece of paper which held the results and I was at peace.

Across the top in BOLD letters it said CONGRATULATIONS!

Gaby and I are CP's for the Class of 2014. They are NOT ready for us!
We about to rock their world.

Overall though, today was a weird day. On to the next one.

10 Days till I fly home.
Here come the return of the re(LA)ted facebook statuses.

SOA

It's Unity Week.

Which means I can't speak to non-members beyond a polite hello. I'm actually really excited for this since I tend to talk a little too much in my opinion and this will give me a chance to sit back and observe everything going on around me.

Uniform: All Black Attire All Week.

Playoffs

I am a proud Loyola almuni. A true Cub at heart.

Loyola's basketball team is ranked #2 this year. We play against Perris at Loyola on Wednesday at 8PM, I wish I could go so bad. I truly miss the days of roaring fans screaming their hearts out to cheer on our Cubs to victory. If you are in Los Angeles BE THERE!

Here is the entire play off bracket.

On a side note, I had a really great weekend.
Now I have a test tomorrow in Spanish. Good times 'mate.

Girls, Notes, & Drama

Tell me why this song brings back so many memories of elementary school!

Saints

First off what a game!!

The Saints are the new champs and they certainly deserved it after the way they played today.

A ton of snow fell from Friday through Saturday. I threw my very first snowball today with no gloves...my hands were really cold after.

I need gloves....

I Got A lot of F.L.A.V.A.

I taste good, do you?
Check out this video.

I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I really hope I make it.

Cross your fingers readers.

Also I continue to work on my customs application with Gaby. I really hope we make it all the way!

Something In The Air...

I sit in my room, feeling accomplished since my bags are packed and ready to go. These past 4 weeks were exactly what I needed after the long and stressful 1st semester at college. The ways in which I've changed over these past 5 months were made evident during my time home. I like who I am becoming as a person. I surround myself with amazing friends and never forget about my family.


Abuelita I love you.

Go on Otto's Golden Journey.
I guarantee you'll love it.

Until next time Los Angeles.

Spotlight

Hugh The MC has been making big moves lately. In the latest installment of this great MC's blooming career he has started his own blog/website to inform all of his fans of his musical exploits. I would definitely giving it a glance, because after one glance I've become a dedicated follower of the blog. MC

Also check out his new single featuring another Cub O*S*Y*M.

Off The Dome

Shout out to my boy, Hugh Augustine aka Hugh the MC. He got robbed in the one he lost, he definitely beat that dude. Check it out.

House

Simon have a safe trip back to Boston.

I was lucky enough to get MORE music yesterday! I've been exploring house music and friend gave me a mixed cd full of it. I can't get enough, the whole vibe of house is perfect for late night drive homes or when you are thinking since its so soothing and relaxing.

One of my favorites.

Thin Line

Lite x H.O.P.E. x Blacksaphino Connection - Thin Line from Lite Coolroy on Vimeo.

If only I could get a MP3 copy of this song to ride to.
Love this song so much.

Be on the look out for "Rubber Souls" by my man Hugh The MC.

Four X's in one game!
I went bowling with my family and some close friends.
Check this place out.

Good times.

Marathon

Arrested Development is the greatest show ever shown on Fox. It just might be the best show of all time, with close competition with Entourage and The Office. It's simple delivery, sudden camera angle changes, witty dialogue makes this show's replay value staggeringly high. I highly recommend this show to all those who don't know.

What to do tonight?

So Long

2009
Hello 2010.

New Years Eve, though very random, was truly amazing. Thanks to all those who were there with me. Hope you all had a safe but fun evening.
