Music….Dead? Sometimes I Think it’s not….

A refreshing taste of good ol’ hip hop straight out  of NY.

Outasight- Good Evening (Dream Big)

Oh, and he’s white !  word.

Earth Hour? Lame.

Was in Toronto for what was unintentionally my first Earth Hour experience. Apparently it’s a big thing nowadays to turn off the lights where ever you are for the hour. I was there in Dundas Square for what happened to be THEE countdown. Sitting down on aluminum chairs, courtesy of the city, expecting a big blackout sort of thing (currently listening to Method Man & Redman album, Blackout) I notice, “wow it’s not as dark as I thought it would be.” The probably other 1000 people that were there thinking it was gonna be intense, should have had to have the same feeling as I. Lame. I got up, left, still being able to see where I going and not bumping into anybody. Actually there was a small kid that I pulled a shawn desman pose to move outta the way.  It was definitely bright enough for people to see me do that, how unfortunate.

weak !

Coming soon…

The end of the school year is coming to a close.  Suprisingly, I’m feeling a little bit sad about that. Why? Probably because now I got REAL work ahead of me. I know, I know, we all have to go through with it (  for those who are attending college, or any other institution for higher eduacation) but I guess it’s that feeling of letting go. Sort of like leaving high school, because you’re very excited to leave, but know that you’re somehow going to miss it. I guess that’s life huh? Just gotta go through it like floodwater through sandbags (Mighty MOS)

So to cap off the year, heres the list of projects that are due

( w/ their levels of difficulty from 1-4, 4 obv being the hardest )

Quick Thought

Parents,

if you want your kids to grow up normal, dont send them to summer camp or they’ll turn out looking like these guys right here.

 

The ‘Victom’

A print I did this week. Symbolizing the feud of the State vs Freedom of expression. Chose to create a cropped image of a stop sign with a tag right across it. The stop sign represents the ‘state’ creating such rules and authority prohibiting people to express what they feel.

Pump, pump pump it up !

 

So today I went out and bought one of these devices. The North American Famous Power Gym. A piece of gym equipment thats versatile enough so you can do a total of 12 upper body excercises ! SOLD. So far its great, and it feels like this wont let me down. Progress pictures will be posted….one of these days. Can’t wait to get back into shape! For the summer, and for my own physical health.

Fresh out of the Box.

I always wanted to get a new computer, or even an update for the computer I currently use. My old best friend ( a Dell 1.6 ghz) just wasn’t cutting it for me anymore. Possibly cuz of the spyware invasion and all the other nonsense that finds its way onto my hard drive.
It couldn’t handle more than 3 major programs running at the same time, nor could it even stream video without me suffering from ‘ download rigor mortis’.

I am graduating from college this year. So I am very lucky to announce that my dream of a new piece of hardware has finally come true thanks to my parents. An Hp Pavillion dv 7 series laptop.

Fuckin Awesome !
