BEHIND THE CURTAINS

If you guys are all normal people, i'm pretty sure you guys all enjoy/love/jerk off to good music. i just thought i'd share a video that shows what goes on behind the scenes, cameras completely OFF of the artist itself and on the producers. without these ingenious people working magic on their MPC's, there would be no classics by any of your favorite hip-hop artists. the work/ingenuity that goes into creating the beats that make your ass shake is greatly under appreciated.

this would be exile doin his thang-tha-thang. peep the blog slapp for a taste of this man's ridiculous work.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

as a person, i don't think i really appreciate art for what it is. i appreciate the IDEA of art more than art itself. which is why upon going through my iphoto library, i found a couple of pictures i took a while back. super simple shots but for some reason i just like these two shots. my manGO is gonna take a shot since both pictures are of flowers (pronounced MAN-goh [combination of man + ego]). BUT SO WHAt, SUE ME. (this last line didn't work in context but i've been itching to say it so i'm sneakin it in)





these are a couple of random pictures

this is one of many weird ass cars that my whack ass landlord owns. trust me, when i say our landlord is whack, i mean he's WHACK. dude won't fix shit in our house aka only 2/4 of our burners work, we don't even get to use our own garage since he uses it for personal storage, AND he has this secret fucking closet door that is locked on our top floor (as in there is a closet that we don't get to use inside the house cause he put a lock on it).



this would be our beautiful ass campus here at santa cruz. 100000% different than any other UC i've ever been to and ya'll should visit some time if you already haven't. seriously though, do any of you guys have 30 redwood trees in the middle of your dorm buildings?



and this last shot is a shot of Cowell College on campus. some of the dorm rooms at Cowell College have views that can compete with all views on earf. to the right of this picture lies the city lights of santa cruz as well as the ever-so-large pacific ocean.



i'm hoping that ucsc and ucsb are the only two UC campuses that have BEACH volleyball courts. holla atcha boi. not really. actually, slap me if you ever hear me say holla atcha boi in real life.

METICULOUSLY DOING NOTHING

mat weddle. covering bjork - who is it. the original bjork song is eclectic as hell. i could never listen to the original. but the cover on the other hand is ridiculous. probably one of the best if not THE best cover i have ever heard in my life. you guys should peep mat weddle on youtube. he did a pretty damn good cover of outkast's "hey ya" as well.

SO FAR HYPED

MAD hype on drake. but extremely deserved hype. dude has a few mixtapes out with all of them being fiiiiire. on top of all of his talents, this guy is humble as hell if you listen to his interviews. the Lebanon DON.

in case you didn't get the point, i am on drake's jock but i aint the jealous type. ya'll should be on his jock too and be on the look out for his album dropping later in 0NINE.

p.s. there's been mad construction going on right outside our house the last two days. they're re-paving half a mile of straight STREET. its crazy what technology/labor/our bullshit tax dollars can do.

that strip of road you see missing was literally TORN off by that tank looking thing. it went like 2 miles an hour and literally ripped the street up. oh yea, thats the weak ass view i get from my room. a hotel, a parking lot, and some sweet trees. they just planted that mini-palm tree too. took like 3 hours to do it. efficiency, ese.

BAY & WEST CLIFF

extreme boredom over the last few days. horrible exposure on most of the shots. reeeeel-e could care less though. i don't understand how blogspot works in terms of uploading pictures in chronological order so it came out backwards. scroll from the bottom up and it gives you a lightweight tour of the house in order from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor.

my home for the last 8 months.


bay & west cliff #23

sooo spring quarter has started which means classes have started which means i'm taking math for the first time in FOUR years. i guess that's what happens when you're undecided on life and become a business major by default. i swear, 85% of the business majors in college major in business because they have no idea what the hell else to do. because if you think about it, its the ultimate back up. who wouldn't want to be extraordinary at the business of making money? its all a big evil scheme put into place by evil lawn gnomes. enough randomness. on the reeeel though, i can already smell the garlic fries, and the sweaty dudes walking up and down the rows yelling "PEANUTS, GET YOUR PEANUTS HERE!". and if you don't know what i just described then really, just quit life cause its BASEBALL SEASON itches. i bleed orange and black and if you know me then you already know. just want to give a NEGATIVE shout out to all my damn asian ass friends who hate on baseball. i love my friends to death but i just wish like one or two of them would bleed orange and black like i do so i could have someone to talk to about my gigantes. this post is getting more and more digressive so i'll stop rambling about my friendship problems and all that boring ass stuff. this post was completely pointless.

shout outs to the kids who stole my basketball hoop from outside my house
shout outs to royston hung cause it was his 20th birthday yesterday
shout outs to shitty movies like fast and furious 4 that i know i shouldn't waste money on watching but still do anyways
shout outs to infomercials that sell workout equipment named after african animals (gazelle)
last but not least shout outs to north mother fucking korea for making sweet ass decisions that has completely shaken up the already suffering security dilemma in the east.

goodnight san daygo
