Metal doesn't start at bros and end at corpse-paint, it also goes psychedelic heavy beautiful POWER.
 Joe Preston- Ex-bassist for Melvins, Earth, High on Fire, currently Thrones and Harvey Milk (his best imho, "Special Wishes"). One of my favorite guys in music. Actually I'll write more about this later. |

Sometimes I get this intense panic feeling in my chest, it's not bad and it's not great. It's not a negative panic, its like an excitement or happiness panic. It's cool and everything since it comes from something good, its like smoking too much. It came from something good, but sometimes you get more light headed than you would've preferred, but you're not really dizzy or anything.
I'm changing my major to film and media studies most likely, although I might minor/double or just take literature classes still since those were fun.. thinking about the future gets me that happiness panic. Its like "oh making movies would be awesome....but I'd probably be happy doing other jobs, and shit, and blah blah this humanitarian cause is way more important...but man when i get a real job one day I get to buy all the awesome stuff I see at Ikea, and I can invite my friends and have reunions...." And its like if I want to get into making films i feel like i have a lot of friends who would want to get involved and that'd be sweet. but I could get a business job and make a lot of money and go on trips with my friendz. Platonic friendships forever!
I guess positivity can be too overwhelming to me, haha. |

my radio show is scary sometimes.
I'm playing a long Muslimgauze remix. its really atmospheric and psychedelic but its also scary when youre all alone and tired at 4:30 AM. And before that I played a song called Black Perversion by the Flying Luttenbachers which was scary too.
The scariest though was this weird noisey song called Meatpump666 Ive played twice. Everytime I play it, i get creeped out like crazy. its amazing. Now i know how scary music can be. |

working for a dick boss for the rest of my life would suck. Time to finally bring out the punk rocker in me and forget this shit. Its like all my innocent and uneducated philosophies I've had are finally being tested.
Ugh, and having to wear a suit and deal with a snobby boss would be even worse. I already felt like a sucker dressing up for the interview. |

So something I learned in college finally is that you shouldn't take your friends for granted. It was after I was talking to Evan and Chris, and then I told my friend here, "Remember when I told you what it means to take things for granted," as he didn't know what it meant, "I finally learned something in college, don't take you're friends for granted!" Then I explained that I thought I just find new friends of similar caliber here in Irvine. I guess I can attribute it to this wack feeling of detachment from everything I had. I mean, I have good friends here now, but they're different (in a not bad way). During winter break, Herrie asked me if I felt any different or changed since college, and I said not really. But now I do feel kind of different inside, a lot less arrogant, not really self-pitying anymore, not so filled with hate beyond an unhealthy degree. I think my new found enjoyment in certain movies reflected some sort change maybe. I guess what brought this entry was looking at my old entries, ones from years ago. I don't feel particularly embarrassed more than going "oh god" and laughing in a self deprecating way, but I guess it was healthy in some way that I tried to live what I could best describe briefly as Garden State in a pre-Garden State period.
Anyways, thanks for showering me with your love and company back in the day when I kind of ignored it ^_-
So now I'm finally playing music again, and it looks like I'm finally off of the drums and playing bass. We are like a bad mix of the yeah yeah yeahs and le tigre but whatever, I met a new friend and I can't wait to actually play a show. Yeah! I am also a research assitant for a chicano/latino studies professor this quarter, I have a radio show finally on KUCI (myspace.com/chandralimit). The only bummer part about it is that I applied for a certain kind of show, so I'm not supposed to play poppy melodic stuff : / I also have a cool job in the preservation department where I get to look at art books sometimes and use big machines that make loud noises too. I don't really spend any of the money I make so I think I'm gonna take a trip to New York again this summer, and it'll be even more fun since I'll have more than one person to visit this time. Anyways, things are good I suppose, I get sad when I don't get enough attention from girls though : / So now all I want is a girl to fall asleep with, a raise, and better song writing skills. I guess I want some more direction but its gradually showing up so I'm kind of getting it.

bummer, I wish i wasnt so sensitive. well its, more like scarred from nothing. whatever. in summation from a premise i didn't write, if davis AND irvine people said the same thing, that's probably something. sorry you. and maybe sorry you. or not. whatever I like to say, and the dude abides. |

The body and mind can persevere, but I'm getting worried that the soul may be secretly dying. Something along those lines. Oh well, if that's true, at least it hasn't been doing that for too long. |

m83, i always i want to drink to ignite my passion to write something, but then my neighbor plays some iron maiden and i have to sing along and i end up skinning my knees each night. but last night i ended up reading some passages from alestair crowley and charles bukowski so i assume thats some evolution. althought the first three weeks of school cojuldv'e been an awful kevin smith movie. i came very close to joing a frat. homoeroticusm. i was going to post a short sotry of mine but i lost my conosness. deleted in thtemoning, the only concerti ve been to is iron maiden and i didnt know 50 year olds could be so flexible. |

Everything feels right again.
I saw this movie last year, and the last scene is one of my favorites in movies. I don't really have that many i can name off right now because I haven't been watching very many movies. I really liked that tennis scene in the Royal Tenenbaums, some parts in Lost in Translation, and I'm sure some Takashi Miike ones.
The main character gets a parasite which gets him high after killing other people, and then at the end he overdoses, gets a tumor on his head, and it explodes opening a chasm of light. It beams out of the apartment window. Out of context, I really like the scene. I kind of felt like I was on the verge of exploding into light today too. I told my friend, "the mighty have fallen, but I guess the decent fell too, huh?" I'll bring up him back up too though.
I can't really write anymore, if I ever could. I'm going to try to submit something to the creative writing magazine here, but with an alias. Matto Bugowski. Yeah its lame but it means SOMETHING which is probably easy to argue against. I missed a book reading from some African author. It's an African epic he said. That's the only problem, I'm still always tired. I was going to buy it but it was 35 bucks. |

My roommate was sad so I made him this with my neighbor. It says "Misty" because our hall name is Misty Mountain, and there was no room for mountain.
Then he bought these a couple days later.
But this tube-bunny in particular is the cutest.

I'm planning out a Europe trip right now, and I just reminded my self of something my mom said to my brother when he wasn't dressing properly for a school concert.
"How are you dressed? Do you think you're going to a discotheque?"
I don't know why I never really told anyone that story. |

I don't really find so much in dark art like Giger's, but I found this Polish artist, Zdzislaw Beksinski and I think its really amazing. It's more than just "dark" I think, and man is it detailed. If I actually do end up going to Poland this summer hopefully I can see some of his art in full.
Anyways, I'm going down to UC Irvine next year to probably major in Comparitive Literature. It used to be the number 1 comp lit department in the nation until someone died (2 years ago i think). Irvine itself is kind of weird. It was ranchland bought out in 1971, and now its a city. Not sure what languages I'll be learning, so feel free to argue a case for one, and please do. I'm going to have to learn at least more than one, I'll probably continue Japanese, and I'm thinking of Spanish. It's scary that I need to start doing more than just what I'm told to do. No more high school. The beach is a 20ish minute bike ride away, so I'll probably be there a lot. I'm pretty set on taking sailing classes, hopefully I'll meet some rich kids who'll have yachts. I'll probably finally become a college DJ. I think I'm going to get a present for my Japanese teacher, the first present I'm going to give to a teacher since elementary school. I don't really listen to that much new music, but after hearing Gnarls Barkley, I should.
Logan and Emerald made me a myspace (http://www.myspace.com/69479030) so you can add me if you want because I won't add you. I'm gonna do some important stuff in a couple of years so don't forget me.
I learned a lot this year. and fuck sleep problems (for killing 1/2 of this year). |

I guess scott rosenburg is gonna be some solo guitar dude, he's in some country rock band.
Zadrsvootie is some experimental band from santacruz, but it sounds like they know what they're doing. |

This is amazing: http://disney.go.com/disneyrecords/Song-Albums/devo20/
I'm not trying to be funny, I really am digging the concept/song samples. If they tour, I think I'm going to have to take my little brother or sister. Gerald from the band even directed 9 videos for this. Ohhhh....I want to buy it. If they had any of their pre-major label stuff on this album I would've bought it already.
I rented a DVD of Devo and watched it with commentary by Bob and Gerald, and its just like...I can't think of this being done to any other band and being as cool..

We're playing another show at 217 Second street on monday with this rock band from Illinois, I think a lot of you would like them. http://myspace.com/thelivingblue check it out and support touring bands son. please. We are even playing a new set. And we're pretty good now.
Look they got 5 stars out of 5 in alternative press
The Living Blue, ‘Fire, Blood, Water’ 5/5
Get your rock on.
Stop what you’re doing right now. Go directly to the record store and buy Living Blue’s latest disc. Do not buy CDs from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah or Bright Eyes – and for heaven’s sake, put down that Strokes disc. Fire, Blood, Water’s tracks burst with the kind of fuzzbombs and jangly riffs found on your parents’ old Replacements and R.E.M. records, but feel as fresh and innovative as the latest iPod jam. Vocalist Stephen Ucherek announces his cryptic intentions via a mop-topped yowl that’s neither sensitive-boy mumbly nor emo-harsh, atop heaping helpings of shambling garage rock, angst-punk and college radio-playlist esoterica. The result? Finally, a rock band who are doing something interesting.
They even had one of their songs on "One Tree Hill" on WB. C'mon, isn't it time to see a house show with people who can play their instruments? |
