too much to catch up on. TOO MUCH. blown away…must aspire…must improve…

i want my guitar back.

i was looking at some of the pictures that i took when i remembered this one:

for those of you that can’t make it out, this is what it says.

Time you are a freaky trip. For with each passing moment you create, I come closer to my destiny DEATH!
Time you control my dark with uncanny ease of motion. Time, I resist you but hang over me like a mother
By Freddy Molina
1963-1979

if you take a look around the picture, you’ll see a portion of rainbow. yes, ladies and gentlemen, this morbid statement is part of a mural which is supposed to lift the spirits of the community. you can’t see the rest of it, but there are portrayals of successful african-american individuals scattered about the mural…basketball players, scientists, etc… and here smack dab in the middle of all that is this very depressing “poem.” strange that they would choose to put that in.

mmm…i’m hungry.

just got back from wandering around the north side of Chicago. me and ken were walking down the street when this drunk latino guy tries to hop a curb in his bicycle. being intoxicated, he misses the curb and falls to the ground with a terrific “wump.” he lies there…dazed and startled while his rusty bicycle lies half on the sidewalk and half on the street. then instead of getting up and attempting to regain what little composure he originally had, the man just sits there and stares at his bike, which is now beginning to block traffic in the right lane. a squad car pulls up and the cop takes out his megaphone and loudly demands that the bike be moved off the street. the drunkard starts to get up and the police leave. then after they’re gone, he sits down again.

what a great city.

i have to register at 4pm and i have no idea what i’m taking next semester. ugh.

new acronyms

MORNING - May Oversleep, Rendering Nausea In No-time…Gay!
SLEEP - Stop Listening, Eating and Exercising Promptly

anything to avoid studying.

- saw my brother, frank lieu, josh koh and ernie at mns
- mns ran out of burgers AGAIN…for the second night in a row. i should start getting there earlier.
- saw a lot of drunk people on the street. namely this guy who was skipping around screaming “pittsburgh” at the top of his intoxicated lungs.
- encountered a man at the subway station who was pissed off because he couldn’t buy a shamrock shake at McD’s at 2am.
- caught the last 54/cermak train back home. next one runs monday morning.

life is like downloading car videos. you login to the forum and see the new movies that are posted. “my stock civic dyno run” hmmm…nah. “trans am vs. mustang GT” i don’t care…”must have drifting vid!!!” hmm! so you click on the drifting thread and begin downloading the video. you watch as the “percentage completed” bar slowly rises without any idea of knowing what you’ll be getting at the end. you’re all excited for the video now. 94%…ALMOST THERE. and then when you finally hit 100%, you get an error message saying that your computer can’t locate the right codec to play the video. it’s a dud. so due to your circumstances, you are unable to watch the video but apparently everyone else has, and they think it ROCKS. you pine for a better computer, a second chance…saving the file anyways in hope that someday you’ll finally be able to see it and witness the glorious dorifuto action it holds. someday.

annnnnd i’m late for class.
