more kanye tracks keep getting "leaked." the whole album will be out soon. Other good albums to check out. don't sleep on anything.

my new hundreds hat is kinda lame. It's pretty cheap actually. whatev, guess they don't design stuff that's not "urban." i can't flipping stand the bill of the hat. that shit goes straight out, nice and flat.

while i wait...

for AM's mix to download, i figured i'd waste some time on the old blog.

Nothing really dramatic has been going on. it's just been me trying to find a job and finish school.

I haven't done the radio show live in 2 weeks because I there have been UFC events. Last night's was pretty good, despite the disappointing headliners. I enjoy MMA. it's fun to watch, but there haven't been any good finishes lately. Silva is a good fighter, but I can't wait for the day he gets knocked the fuck out. I was really pulling for Cote deep down.

Entourage is starting to pick up. This week's and last week's episodes were good. The two females in the show are hot (Amanda and Dana). I think that's what's secretly keeping me watching.

i finally got around to making that clap ya hands loop from AM's banana mix way back when. Fool, you play it, i'll rip that shit so fast. I rip it before you know you're going to play it.

Model 500 No UFO's (Vocal)

I posted a Mauro Picotto song a while back that was more Hard Trance than techno. Sorry, mate, it wasn't Melodic trance, though i see where you might get confused. To redeem myself, here is a track from one of the pioneers of techno, Juan Atkins. boo yaa.

i still don't like techno. it's like progressive trance, just too repetitive and no build up. correct me if i'm wrong

we're goin downnnnnnnn






we're goin down down in an earlier round
and Lehman we're goin down swingin'


blue monday. sorry to Lehman and Merrill. This is what happens when you get greedy. greed is a bad thing. I think that's inherent in the financial services industry. think about it, companies whose service revolves around money. money is bad.

sorry to everyone that will lose his job. Good luck to AIG. sorry to all the banks that are soon to follow

it's too humid outside

i haven't posted a song in a while. here's some shit.

Valencia - where did you go

valencia's album "We All Need a Reason to Believe" dropped this past week (i think). good pop punk group. catchy lyrics. cop the album if you can. check the song.

fuck

looks like i'll be staying the whole year.

Monday, August 25, 2008

just moved in (kinda)

didn't really unpack at all tonight.

I more or less ate and shot the shit with brian about how college is useless and life is horrible. I think things will work out for the better if we start to have a positive outlook on things. everything should fall into place.

I did it by the way. I dropped derivatives and signed up for Social Responsibilities of business. I'm going to try to take 6 courses and get out of here, for better or for worse. Probably for the better.


P.S. who wants an IT degree anyway. I just don't want to do that with my life. i'm really not motivated for it.

Thursday, August 21, 2008

school

definitely NOT looking forward to going back to school. After being home for so long, the thought of flying back nearly kills me. I hate school. i want to leave.

no trying to sound emo. but doing school work fucking SUCKS. pointless presentations and stupid case studies about shit i won't remember 3hrs after i read it. hate that crap

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

horrible pic of me...


..from our day in the 'bu
i need to shave.

b4 i go to bed

i'm posting about today. it was a good day. summer needed more of the times like today. went to malibu. ate Lilly's on the beach. saw the lead singer from the Chili Peppers (cool dude). hung out with the homie JD. it was fun. i want to do this all my life.

and i got L&L. what could be better. la vida es dulce

Wilfrido Vargas - El africano

this song is awesome. wtf u know about merengue?

The Used - Buried Myself Alive

bert was on loveline tonight. stryker mentioned that this was his favorite used song. mine too. great show, great song

Orleans - Dance With Me

this song is awesome!!

Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Original Video)

if you haven't guessed, this song is about rolling on E. good song!

Mauro Picotto - Komodo

this is some hard trance. enjoy kids. the best music

can't sleep

well, i kinda have been having this on and off sore throat bullshit for about a month, no joke. i can't stand it. i couldn't sleep. i have saliva running down my throat every 10 seconds. i can't swallow. it's horrible. so, i woke up at 7 this morning. boy does this suck. but my guess is, without proper rest, won't my throat get worse. i hope i get so tired i pass out.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

lately..

i moved this past weekend with my brother and his roommates. It was pretty tiring. When you move with your parents and older more mature people, you typically move your house/belongings over the period of a week. When you move with young hasty individuals, you move everything you own in one day and boy is it tiring. And honestly it's not fun. But, everything is almost wrapped up. AC doesn't work but that's getting fixed right now.

Brother spinned (or spun, whichever you prefer, this is DJing not grammar) a private party for a friend at Beso last night. Beckhams were there. Andrea from DK and Jesse McCartney rolled through. Andrea is pretty.

longest work day ever

today seemed like the longest day ever. I had to take a nap on my lunch. flippin' long day

weekend recap

Friday at Goa was a great night. The manager had a birthday. A bouncer had a birthday. It was bananas. There were a lot of people. Friday is their best night, no question about.

Saturday at Social was also a good night. There were mad chicks and a private party. It was really crowded. I got molested by a drunk girl who I had to ditch. I am really glad she turned her back for a few seconds -- it gave me just enough time to slip away. Gosh she was drunk.

Apparently American Apparel had their second annual flea market. People were camping out since like 4 in the morning. That shit was so crowded it wasn't even worth going.

Stopped by "the stork" saturday night also...

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Shwayze - Corona And Lime

for the record, i would like to say that tiesto, in no way, neither produces nor plays techno in any of his sets. He plays and produces trance. Nice one, Shwayze. Other than that, dope song!

Sureal - You Take My Breath Away (DJ Tiesto Remix)

classic

Sunday, July 20, 2008

i'm so sick it makes me sick

what do i get for going out last night? pink eye...are you kidding me? pink eye? This is ailment #3 now. And on top of that, while at social, my nose starts to barely bleed!? here's how it started...

Thinking that he was going to have the night off, my brother gets a call from a promoter asking him to do this new spot off Orange and Hollywood Blvd. It's called Stork. It's a nice place with some names attached to it. I can see it doing well in the future. But anyway, like any scenester hollywood hot spot, stork is a place to sit down and mingle with people. You don't really go to dance, you just go to be seen. At present, the place is like a lounge, however the rest of the club is opening soon enough. As I already said, "people don't dance no more, they just stand there like this." So, my mates and I decided to head to Social for some good times. We make an IHOP pit stop along the way because I adore pancakes. There was, by the way, the most amazing looking woman there. Soon enough we arrive at Social and walk in. Eddie Boy is tearing it up down stairs playing some house and electro. Upstairs, Kev E Kev is getting jiggy with the usual cuts -- some 80's, Hip-Hop, Top 40, etc.

After a while, all of the sudden, my nose starts to run. I wipe it then look down at my knuckle to find blood. I start walking around kinda snorting and sniffing to keep the blood in my nose and off my white v-neck (I only wear v-necks just so you know). Gee, if you saw some guy snorting and touching his nose at a club, what would you think? YAYO. Now people think I got that snow. I was grabbing my nose right in front of this couple and they wouldn't stop staring. You know they thought I was doing blow.

Luckily my nose stopped bleeding and I went home.

i don't do coke or any other drugs

where the light is

i picked up john mayer's new live album "where the light is." i've always been a john mayer fan. he's really great live. here's one of my favourite songs from the album. he rips it up straight acoustic. the live electric licks on the album are also something to watch out for. i think he's gaining a lot of respect as a guitarist with his new displays of skill.

john mayer - neon (acoustic)

from mixed drinks to techno beats...

psycosocial

Since I'm stuck at home sick tonight I figured I'd watch fnMTV. Pete premiered slipknot's video for psycosocial. I never thought I would listen to a couple of dudes in masks, but I can say that over the years my musical taste has matured. they deserve a posting.

slipknot - psycosocial

new album dropping in August

let's put a smile on that face

what doesn't kill you, makes you stranger

the dark knight was phenomenal. heath ledger gave a tremendous performance. it was well worth the money, and I rarely go to the cinema to support films, but this title took the cake. heath really stole the screen in his role as the joker. it felt great to see him posthumously in celluloid.

heath ledger R.I.P.

Ferry Corsten - Out of the Blue [Ferry Corsten Remix]

Hollywood djs eat your hearts out. you ain't got nutin' on this

ATB - Long Way Home

from my mate ATB. my fav producer of all time.

Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky

this is your typical trance video. it makes no fucking sense. this song ruled like 8 years ago. Though cheesy, it's def one of my fav tracks.

Monday, July 14, 2008

Paul Van Dyk - Another Way

another classic. i like this so much more than his new stuff

half a world away

i miss trance. meet...Above and Beyond. catch their radio show "Trance Around the World." Here's a track from a few years ago. amazing



And here they are live at te LA coliseum

no dipset

i remember that when my brother played at the 40/40 club, he was told to not play any "dipset shit." Really funny that Jay-Z banned dipset.

anytime you go to 40/40, request dipset. If you Dj there, play dipset before you leave/ run out of the club.

For those who don't know, 40/40 refers to an elite group of baseball players who, in the same season, stole 40 bases and hit 40 home runs

catch up

just got a message from my boy Jarred. He thinks I should put up ad sense. maybe i'll do that. money is cool.

so back on wednesday, I met the homie Quinton "rampage" Jackson. Talked to him a bit about his loss to Forrest Griffin on Saturday. I think he won that fight (now that I met him). After he mentioned the knocked downs, i kinda started give him more rounds. Regardless, he'll have that title again soon enough. I took a picture with him. Check it out on my facebook profile.

later on in the night I met one of the bouncers. I got to chatting with him and he told me that he was a brown belt in BJJ. He trains/teaches at the Machado fitness center on La Brea and Wilshire. He said he'd hook it up with some classes. Check them out at machadofitness.com. But, if you do your research, you'll see that Rickson Gracie's academy is also off of Wilshire. That man is a living legend.

Friday night, my brother played at coco de ville. I chose not to go because, honestly, I didn't feel like dealing with a bouncer on an ego trip. They are door nazis (thanks stone even though I don't know you), especially at a place with a 150 capacity. Kim Kardashian showed up. Brother did work as usual.

That same night, my brother's agent went to an event he put together with Shifty from Crazy Town. He got me a cool hat. Word up.

And finally, Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein was in town last night djing at Hyde. You said you'd bring the headphones, son! where they at!???

ufc 86

i just realized that i only post when a UFC event happens.

well 86 just finished up. Forrest in the new champ. Juanito Ibarra, aren't you supposed to retire now? Rampage just didn't look like the rampage we all know. We were all pulling for Forrest, but Rampage was really supposed to dominate. Hats of to Forrest. He executed his strategy well. Good leg kicks and a nice mount. Ya it was close to call. Those judges have a pretty hard job. Really can go either way sometimes...

Just like in the Almeida/Cote fight. Cote came out on top, but it should have been a draw. I think I'm a GJJ whore, so I wanted to submission from Ricardo. I think giving that fight to Cote was the worst decision of the night.

The other fights were a little boring. Don't think the fans got their money's worth this time around. Glad I watched it online =).

Can't wait for the next event. Looking forward to Silva fighting as well as Fedor. And I def can't wait for my man GSP later on.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

been tired lately

since i've started my internship at lionsgate i've been pretty tired, so i haven't been writing at all really. i realized today that i am a very lucky intern. I have an office, I can dress casually, and I have actual things to do. I have a great position.

of course, i have to wake up very early in the mornings to make it on time to work. the 405 is a frustrating drive. I spend 2 hrs a day commuting -- it sucks. Time to shower and go to bed. later fools

i'll try to post more frequently

Sunday, June 8, 2008

brother was in cancun this whole week

i've had to take care of my brother's cat this whole damn week. I can not begin to tell you how aggravating she can be at times. she is such a drama queen. she always wants attention. she always wants to sit in my lap. i can't stand her sometimes. She's a female. I'm getting a male animal when i'm older. this cat drains me. every morning she wakes up at 6 because she wants to go out. Then she wakes me up again at about 8am for attention. i can't lock her out (i tried that) because she just meows for hours -- it's no use. so I've been sleeping less this past week. glad he's coming back tomorrow so he can deal with this beast.

playing catch up

new coldplay album -- i've had it for about about a week. haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. i've instead been archiving a lot of my music to my external hard drives (geek). but i'll give it a listen and post some crap (not like it isn't already all over the internet).

UFC 85 was today. freaking matt hughes fought thiago alves and brandon "the truth" vera fought fabricio werdum. Thiago and Fabricio won. Brazilians are taking over the world, fvck. no joke, they have dominance in every weight class except lightweight.

i really wanted hughes to win today. i think we all, including hughes, have realized that he is past his prime. He has one fight left, and he wants it against Matt Serra. I want Hughes to win. I started getting interested in MMA after the Matt Hughes reign. I just want to see the legend win one more fight.

About every month I change my the background on my desktop. Alessandra Ambrosio has graced the screen for teh past couple of years. If you don't know already, the woman is pregnant. i don't find that really attractive. Ya her boobs might get bigger, which is always a plus, but knowing that another guy hit it just takes away from her appeal. So, this month, Adriana Lima has taken her place. I have to say that currently she's the object of my model fascination. She has a better body than Ambrosio, and she's not pregnant. Who knows how long Alessandra can hold on to the top spot? Adriana is coming in at a verrrry close second.

speed stacking...wtf is this??



that is so crazy that kids can do that. honestly, it looks really cool and i wish i could do it. i may start training for the world championships. this should be an olympic event.

bj penn roolz




and props to bj penn for defending his title against sean "the muscle shark" sherk. sean had (and still has) an impressive record coming into this fight. somewhere inside i was looking for sherk to win. not that i didn't want bj to win, but sherk has gone through a lot in the past couple of months. i sometimes like to root for the underdog.

bj penn and GSP? i don't think so son! you mess with fire, you get burned!

my hero jardin got dropped in the first by wanderlei silva. that was so disappointing. at least wandy taught me how to throw a mean counterpunch. jardin will be back. all it takes is one punch, either way.

lyoto machida is a boring fighter who throws sucker punches. some call him elusive. i guess so. he's smart to run around. but still, tito ortiz for life!

war machine got choked out really quickly in the first. i'm that submission was nice. anaconda choke!

i went to a wedding today for my aunt. congrats to them.

let down

last night, my brother played at Opera/Crimson like he does every Wednesday night. the difference this time? DJ AM and Jazzy Jeff put on a show for a few hours. They have 4 turntables and they both scratch and stuff. I wasn't really impressed. not worth what that guy asks for in terms of money.

long story short, AM is just another 5'7'' guy with an ego problem. sucks because the first DJ I saw in hollywood was that guy. we used to rep him when his nights sucked and no one would go. Couple years down the road and he thinks he's yahweh's gift to the DJ scene.

as if his attitude problem weren't enough, you stole my brother's headphones! give them back you thief.

boycott AM!

FUCK YOU

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

synch with reader

i'm synching this with google reader. i will post more if i just link the posts that i normally read. the posts will be in links at the top of the page. click on them up there

now I can post from both accounts

i need a new phone

due the numerous amount of times that i've dropped my phone, i can't receive text messages. Or rather, when i receive text messages, my bloody phone freezes and I never receive the text. I then have to restart the damn thing. This sucks especially when you send out a text and wait for hours wondering if the person you sent the text to blew you off or actually responded. wtf.

lots of good TV tonight

i rarely wathch TV since i'm at school. But now that i'm home for the summer...let's watch TV. Monday was the Hills, tonight is the ultimate fighter, and thursday is LOST. And then there are sports games. I like soccer, and today at 1PM PST Real Madrid is playing barca. Awesome. Tonight the Los Angeles Kobe Bryants are playing the Utah jazz. Super. Like I mentioned, tonight is the ultimate fighter. Thanks to this program I have on my computer, I can watch programs in EST. that way, I can watch teh UF when the Laker game is on. Cool. Why do I have to do this you ask? Because tonight my brother is DJing with DJ AM and Jazzy Jeff. So, you see, I'll be out of the house come 10:00.

Saturday, May 3, 2008

i'm coming home again

just took that POI exam. It was hard. i think I should consider changing my major, haha.

this was a rough week. BFM and FONE paper due yesterday. MS and POI exam today. Going home tomorrow morning. Done with junior year. did I mention my birthday was Friday? totally passed me by. no fucking cake or anything. here's to getting smashed on sunday. regardless of how tests came out this semester.

long plane ride tomorrow 5+ hrs.

do you think about me now and then?

Friday, May 2, 2008

happy birthday to me

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

i worked a lot today

and i went the whole day without eating. I had to finish that BFM project and submit possibly the worst MS HW of my life. But that doesn't matter. I pissed off Iglarsh by writing my name on my cover sheet instead of typing it out. Then he saw my grade on the exam and said "good job." I like that guy. I hope he doesn't think i'm a slacking asshole. i did have to skip his class today. i skipped spanish today also. that probably pissed almitra off too, which i don't want to do either. i'm a joker but not such a joker.

last mini-project due thursday then straight shot to sunday morning when i go home. it's going to be a lot of work. FVCK.

well it's gym time. my arm is still bruised/strained from blood draining last wednesday, so no weights, just the bike. i'm losing weight by the day, nice

Monday, April 21, 2008

STRT

done with that shit. nutted out my part of the paper last night. just finished the presenation. all good. started getting grilled at the end, but that was expected. typical MSB kids. that one girl today was hot, as always, though I don't think she knows it.

BFM project to take down, MS hw to finish.

just another day at the office. homecoming soon.

Saturday, April 19, 2008

GSP!!



props to Georges St-Pierre. that guy really crossed the line. he defeated Matt Serra tonight to reclaim the Welterweight title. He's amazing and he's ripped. I hope to one day be as shredded as that man. I have also claimed that I will now train MMA to be like GSP. I really like anderson silva before, but now GSP is my homeboy. Go GSP. I hope to one day cross the line.

this just in, as I was writing this, Jarred almost fought the guy across the way. Actually, he almost fought the girl too. Now, he's sprawled out on the couch saying "Please don't let me vomit, I don't want to vomit." Help this guy out!

I love GSP!!

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

screw the red cross

seriously, giving blood is so over rated. the damn lady moved my needle 5 times. my arm is completely bruised and sore. I hate that lady. i don't even know where my blood is going. sorry, but i'm not donating anymore, i'm not giving you my fucking organs either. scratch mme off that list. the free umbrella wasn't enough.

fcuk the red cross and donating blood.

Thursday, April 10, 2008

usually when..

it's hard to say "i do" when "i don't"

long day today

i had my spanish presentation and my Management Science test today. It was a pretty long day. I had to stay functional the whole time and be on top my game in spanish class. Kinda funny that I forgot how to say "red" in spanish during my presentation. Man that was weird.

But coming up with stuff on the spot is getting easier...especially since I can do it in spanish now. not saying that i'm very good at it...but it's getting there.

so it's full steam ahead till May 4th. Lots of work to be done. the chicks on the front lawn are hot. there's not much more that I can say about sundresses and short skirts. gotta see to believe. cause damn, it makes the walk to class that much more awesome. freshmen are the hottest this year i think

hum hallelujah

morning of...waiting for the anouncement. the committee votes today on the design. crossing my fingers here while watching C-SPAN2. the bear stearns and jp morgan ceo's are talking a bit about the credit problems and some possible remedies for the credit crisis.

kinda cool to hear the guys at the (former) top banks use language that i know, however basic it may be.

jp morgan is taking on a shit load of debt. how many straws can you put on the camel's back?

you know i don't know if i'll ever work for a financial firm. who knows what i'll be doing at this time next year.

p.s. fall out boy dvd/cd is dope

i'm not a stoner

apparently i look like a stoner. the past few nights for me have been long, and the rest will probably be long also since the end of the semester is approaching. normally, i give the appearance that i'm high. people probably think that i do drugs. this is not the case. i do not smoke weed or do blow. never have, never will.

the other day prof. iglarsh jokingly told me that i should be tested for drugs. of course the night before i stayed up til around 230 and woke up for a long day of classes at about 10. i think that's enough sleep. my body thinks differently. I have some circles under my eyes that will take a while to let go.

i'll just say again that i'm not a stoner. i may wear ugly clothes and tight pants, but really, there's not much more than that. i also don't think that I'm better than others who choose to experiment with substances. i'm not better than anyone and i don't hold it against them (for the most part).

long story short, i look asian, have droopy eyes, and look high 70% of the time i walk the campus.

i do not do drugs.

basketball

georgetown basketball...stop being lazy

roy hibbert step up, stop being lazy

jeremiah rivers...you need work. stop being timid

what a disappointment

maybe i'll still watch the tournament. either way, from now i'm rooting for North Carolina and a dude that plays with heart, Tyler Hansborough.

Best of luck to Jonathan Wallace and Jesse Sapp in the future, the only guys who do their jobs every time. Pat Ewing, good work stepping up. 6th man definately AT LEAST.

what the fvck man...seriously 17 point lead????

Now i'll be studying the rest of the semester.

there's always next year. the freshmen look solid

easter at georgetown

it's likely that i'll be chilling here this whole break. turns out we get monday off too, which I didn't know. And come to find out, my professor cancelled class on wednesday. go figure. long story short, I should have missed all of March. maybe next semester...

to celebrate easter this sunday/saturday night, I will be buying maybe half a dozen cup cakes and then eating them all consecutively at 12:01am sunday morning. in case you didn't know, i gave up sweet for lent. I haven't had any solid sugary substance for nearly 40 days. man is it killer. I plan on buying the cake form Georgetown Cupcake, this shop that opened right off of M Street. Smart move to be cashing in on the cupcake craze as is begins to spread to the east coast.

Lots of advances dropped this past week. Albums include R.E.M. and the Kooks. Look out for Panic at the Disco's album "Pretty Odd."

i'll be checking in later on in the week. i'll probably be djing a lot in my apartment since there is probably going to be nothing to do for a while.

Of course, my boredom can be solved with a few clicks of a button. Anyone want to buy me a ticket home? i was looking to fly virgin america...

DC store on Melrose

the crew and I went to see rob dyrdek and the dc skate team today at the DC store on Melrose. His presence nearly caused a riot. The police showed up as the line wrapped around the store and into the street. He seems like a really cool dude. We got an autograph and a free t shirt. Afterwards we headed to Burton where it was dead. We were going to buy something, like a new skateboard, but we chose to wait for a friend who can get a sweet employee discount. I'll take my skateboard to georgetown soon enough.

the other night All Time Low was on Jimmy Kimmel Live. They performed "dear maria, count me in." I downloaded their 2 albums immediately. You can see them on tour with the Rocket Summer on the AP tour.

in other news, I got my hair cut on friday. not as short as I wanted it but whatever.

spring forward son! do work!

worst headache ever

those of you who know me best know that I don't drink fluids often. the times i do i feel great. when i don't...i get a bad headache.

today my brother and I went to the getty over here in LA. it's an art museum for those of you who don't know. We walked the whole thing in about 2 hours while also stopping to get lunch. I of course didn't really drink any water with my meal. Man do I regret that. if you see me eating a meal without water, please tell me. I got the worst headache tonight i could barely function. it was really bad.

luckily i feel okay now. the getty was dope. here's to doing something cool again tomorrow. later dudes

anderson silva


i opted out of going to the club tonight to stay home and watch UFC 82. Anderson Silva fought Dan Henderson. Henderson put up a decent fight, controlling Silva most of the first round. Unfortunately, Silva came out dancing in the second and Henderson couldn't keep up. Henderson got rocked in the clinch and down he went. Silva got his back and choked him out. That was it. I honestly thought that Henderson could take him. No one can beat Anderson Silva. That is why every time he fights, I cheer for the other guy. Silva is like a Black Bruce Lee. He's lean and very agile. I wish I had his skills.

anyway, there's a nice diplo remix of flashing lights that i think you should check out. here's a link to the page where you can grab it.

in other news, i'm thinking of applying to some southwest and wal-mart internships. their hq's are in Texas and Arkansas, respectively. I figure their two of the more successful corporations in the US. why not work for them. damn, i'll do it for free. Of course there is always the unpaid internship at the ford modeling agency. that would be nice too i guess. right now, i'll take whatever i can get. anything but fast food, i can't do that.

poster...

ya, and that mcCain poster blows my cockhole. i'm sorry i ever disgraced the senator with such a shoddy piece of work..fvck.

well, him taking such an awkward picture didn't help matters much either.

exams this week

i have exams this week, which means i was studying the greater part of the weekend. I should probably be studying right now. I just figured I write a little something since I haven't posted in a while. I haven't really been listening to any new artists, except for All Time Low. They're going to be on the AP Tour with the Rocket Summer soon. get your tickets now.

Lately i've must been thinking about my future and what's going to become of me in a few months. I'm still thinking of graduating early. The more I think about my future, the more a see myself doing something that doesn't use my degree. I'll probably work for a clothing company or design websites for a living. But you know what, being creative isn't all that bad.

I need to start reading the wall street journal...

P.S there's a cover of "Will you still love me tomorrow" by Amy Winehouse floating around. grab it if you can. I <3 her vox.

my friend, John McCain

I support John McCain.


the guys over at obey made a barack obama poster that looks pretty dope. well, my response to that is this...


*removed*

For some reason when I uploaded it to blogger it changed the hue (or whatever) a bit. It still looks good I think. The original poster with the actual color palette can be seen on my facebook profile. I've uploaded a jpeg to zshare if anyone wants to make posters or something like that. I also have the psd if maybe you want to change stuff around. holler

cafeteria workers

i have the absolute worst relationship with the workers in the cafeteria. It's mostly just the ones downstairs. My various relationships usually turn sour when I ask one of the workers to actually do his job. It goes something like, "Hey, would you mind putting a litte more sauce?" or "Can you cook that for a little bit longer please? Okay, thank you." Seriously, how hard is it to take a simple request? It's bad enough that I pay $13+ for my meals here, how about a little attention to detail? I could see them hating me if I were a snotty little prick who didn't ask for things politely, but dude, how much nicer can I get?

you know what? fuck me, right? who am I to request that my milkshake be a little thicker than normal? Man, fuck me! i should go fuck off back to my rich parents. I'm such a cock.

to the workers in Leo J. O'Donovan Dining Hall that don't like me, and to those who refuse to take pride in their work...EAT A DICK

adam tensta


perez posted about this artist on his blog last week (or earlier this week, I'm not sure). A rapper out of sweden, so you know he has a bit of an electro influence. I really like his producers. "My cool" and "80's Baby" both grabbed my attention when I picked up his album.

here are the two tracks. kanye west, where you at mang?

adam tensta - my cool

adam tensta - 80s baby


here's a real club


to everyone that goes out in DC, i look down on you..hA!

coachella

who the fuck wants to go to indio


let's roll!!!

www.coachella.com

hayden comes to georgetown

save the whales, bitches! she was great. a small girl with a great voice. articulate, eloquent, hot, and funny. i want to be famous. just sign me up and tell me where to stand. I emailed Perez to post it on his blog. He did, but he didn't mention georgetown. whatever, i commented on his post. You can see me as #5.

tonight was another night of more applications. i submitted the wrong resume to UBS. luckily it was a UBS resume, but nevertheless a previous version. I sent apps to UBS, Barclays, and some other firm I can't remember. that shit is really mechanical now. I think of them as numbers rather than by name. Bank #4 or 5.

you know i wouldn't have to do any of this if I acted. maybe i could do that? my clocks early cause i know i'm always late

took an html class today


and it was sick. I learned the basics of HTML and CSS. HTML supplies the content, CSS provides the style. I'm really looking forward to learning this new language, because I'm a language type of guy. that's just how i am. check out the pic i took while in Gerlardin


I applied to a few banks this past weekend. Will I hear back from them? maybe...I got to thinking that I'm not really that interested in investment banking. I really just want to get a taste for what it's like. I might enjoy working at an I bank, I might not. To tell you the truth it doesn't really interest me. YOu're not going to see me reading the Journal religiously or anything like that. Sure i'll skim through the Economist once and a while. but honestly, it just doesn't float my boat. Like one of my friends said, "Erik, I think you're too 'artsy' for that type of stuff." WHo knows, maybe i'll just become an actor.



Aoki's mix album came out this week (I think). check it out a bit. sounds alright since he got a bunch of artists to collaborate with.

riot!

the grammys are coming up and guess who's nominated...paramore! our favorite band from Tennessee was nominated for best new artist this year, following the release of their stellar album "Riot!." It really doesn't hurt that the front woman of this band is hot. I would buy tickets to their show even if their music sucked. Luckily, it doesn't. Surely you've heard "misery business" on the radio before, right? Well, in case you're tired of it here's another track of their sophomore album. rock out with your cock out. hayley williams is fine.

paramore - misery business

paramore - that's what you get

the rocket summer, sooner

before i go to sleep, i'll leave you with a little something. i recently discovered "The Rocket Summer." It's a guy making pop-rock music that sounds very similar to Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin. This kid does it all. I really have nothing more to say about the guy other than he's an all-in-wonder who can play every instrument on his album. Catch him on tour. check out his space...

and then check out this track

classes that i like

i decided today that I'm going to start taking classes that are useful and that interest me. this means that I wont be double majoring in OPIM. I don't think quizzes everyday or simply talking about a subject rather than doing it is at all practical. I'm going to start doing things the way I want to do them. professors have always told me in the past that if you don't want something put on the internet, well, then don't put it up. I hope this doesn't get out...not. music tomorrow.

and did anyone see the new MacBook Air? kinda cool...

it's britney bitch

she can still make hits. i would like to say first that I do not listen to britney spears. you will not catch her on my ipod or winamp. i do not listen to britney spears...anymore at least. Here's the Tiesto remix of "piece of me" as well as the original. While i'm at it, here's some Mika too. My brother djed one of his parties when he played in Hollywood at Avalon. Perez Hilton showed up with pink hair. How cute! I bet he and Mika rubbed each other out in the bathroom.

I sample, you sample, he samples

I always give too much credit to producers. Sometimes I'm just disappointed when I find out that a producer sampled a previous artist. But hey, isn't creating new from the old an art in itself? Eventually there will be nothing left to sample, and all the samplers will be sad from sampling samples too much. The sampler was invented in the 80's. It's been downhill from there. Or not, depends how you look at it.

Give these videos a look. They're from the homie NateTheGreat up in the Bay Area (except the Justice video. that was made by a different dude). A little something in Musicology.

Kanye West - "Graduation Samples"


"Daft Punk Samples"


Where'd all those awesome Justice samples come from?

the O Sea

I went to 5 classes today and I'm not even registered for them. That's 6+ hours of class. Such is Add/Drop week. It's a buffet of knowledge. I have an appointment tomorrow to talk about my future with the people in the career center. They will hopefully give me some actual advice or guidance, unlike to people in MSB deans office.... Can you convince me to stay an extra semester next year? Let's see

This dj is in the OC tonight at Fury Lounge. My friend offered to fly me in on his G5 and stay at his small 18,000 sq ft house in Newport. I of course turned it down. Silly him, I don't stay at small houses.

I'm sick


I can't hear out of my right ear. The doctor said I have an ear infection. He gave me drugs to take. It's called Amoxicillin (I think).

I still haven't slept. This is almost 24hrs and I'm going strong. Think about it. I go to bed at about 5am on the west coast. I come to school and I can't sleep here till 8am. But by then I have to get up.
I'm still trying to figure out what classes I'm going to take. Hell if the MSB is ever going to help me.

Don't You Know Who (I Think) I Am?

AM had skills before he and Nicole started dating. Stay hungry, quitters never win.

taken from:
PerezHilton.com

"I'm not perfect; I drift all the time. If I go to a restaurant and hear there's a 45 minute wait, my ego wants to say the worst sentance ever: "Do you know who I am?" Which of course, really means, "Do you know who I THINK I am?" That's when I have to remind myself of just WHO that is: a fat crackhead who's lucky to be alive. And believe it or not, at that moment, I feel like the luckiest guy on earth."

what happened to your queer party friends

throwing up on my brand new mink coat...and i do coke!


I heard that the filth shut down the mickey avalon/dirt nasty performance at les deux on NYE. Goes to show that les deux...doesn't. If you do a search on youtube (or go to Perez Hilton's blog) for Shia Lebeouf, you'll seem him darting out of les deux as soon as the 5-0 roll up. The Transformers actor puts on his wheels and makes a run for it. He's the fastest kid alive. But anywho, guess what song you hear in the background while LeBeouf is getting railed by photographers? 1980!

Dirt Nasty - 1980
