Montrose

Man Overboard. Been listening to them for the past 3 months and gotta say they are one of the best new pop-punk bands out now. But hey, that's just what I think.

Oh yeah, fucked my back up, smashed my toe and shark-bited (skating term) my ankle, all yesterday.

Awesome weekend!

Dear Live Journal

Random thought: Does anybody still use live journal? I probably went through at least 3 accounts on that site before I realized that it was useless. Maybe its just me, who knows. Anyways, I FINALLY got a weekend off of not worrying about homework or studying and this weekend I'll have another relaxing weekend of probably doing nothing or playing Mortal Kombat. yep, that's how exciting my life is.

Listen to:

I've been listening to this song since I was about 9 or 10 years old and I have since concluded that this is one of THE greatest songs ever written or performed. EVER!

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Past 2 weeks I've been in Metallica mode. Also the past 2 weeks have been hectic regarding school. Probablly studied at least 20 hours since last monday and another 4 hours just doing assignments. The one time of the semester I go to school only twice a week I get loaded with the most amount of work. Damn this semester.

Jude Law and a Semester Abroad

If you're like me and about half of their fans, this was my first introduction to Brand New. Didn't know it then but they would eventually become one of my favorite bands right now. Plus it's one of those nostalgic songs of mine. Yeah, good times.

Anyways, uh..... school sucks. So yeah.

Gnarliest Dream Ever

Fact: I have some weird, gnarley, sometimes fucked up dreams, but last night was probably one of the (at least top 5) gnarliest dreams I will ever have. Now, let me begin:

Dream starts out me being stranded in probably the worst area of N. Las Vegas (deep Northtown shit). Being that I desperately wanted to get home, nonetheless out of the area, the quickest way possible would be cutting through some crackhead, murder-infested alleyways. While walking through the alleys I end up finding a loaded gun. I decided to keep the gun until I find my way out just in case if I get fucked with or mugged (which I really wanted to avoid), so at least I'll have something to protect myself. I come across a guy trying to steal a car (think it was a SUV). He ends up seeing me watching him trying to steal it. Since I really want to find a way out, I end up making a deal with him that if he can get me out the area as far as he can, as close to my place, I wouldn't snitch on him stealing the SUV (awesome deal, right?) Not even 2 blocks later cops are tailing us (might have been watching us the whole time). Guy driving wants to make a break for it but I wasn't down with it. I told him to stop and let me out but he wouldn't let me out. Once he kinda slowed down I tucked and roll out of the car. No injuries or anything but I already lay face down on the ground knowing I'm gonna get arrested for being in a stolen car and I still had my gun on me so now I'm really fucked (the whole time I was thinking how bad my dad was going to kick the shit out of me). Turns out the cops arresting me are some of the most crooked cops I've ever seen. I'm cuffed and thrown in the back of a squad car. Now this is where the gnarlyness picks up.

Still in the area, these cops take me to a incredibly gnarly party in an equally gnarley apartment complex. They bring me upstairs and told me to stay in the room and not to move or do anything. The 2 cops start to party the night away, drinking beer and smoking weed the whole time in a party filled with some crazy mexicans a la La Raza Nation. At one point they even offer me a hit of weed. At some point I manage to slip both of my hands out of the cuffs. More Surprisingly, I tell the cops I slipped out of my cuffs! However, they really didn't seem to care, as long as I don't leave the room. Sometime later shots are fired around the apartments and everyone is going crazy. I'm told by one of the officers to lay on the ground (near the bed) and to put my cuffs back on. A short time later they have who I believe was the shooter in custody but they end up just sticking him under the bed while they keep smoking weed. Since I was laying down I look to my left (under the bed) and I notice the shooter (who looked like he was around 16, 17 or 18 at most) still had a gun on him which meant the officers failed to search him. While the cops were calling back on their radios, the kid rolls out from under the bed and starts shooting the shit out of the cops, point blank!. He ended up shooting both of them to death! I get up and see both officers dead and then the kid looks at me. He signals me to get out of here. I look at him, look at the dead cops, look at him again, and I left the room, not even giving a shit about the 2 cops, nonetheless watching them die before my eyes (which I think was probably the scariest part of the dream).

I head downstairs and throw the cuffs in a bush and (only god knows why) I happen to have a pair of nunchucks in my hands that I stuff in the sleeve of my hoodie (hey, it's a dream), just in case again (by the way, don't know what happen to the gun). Just as I start walking away, I hear another cop asking me if I knew anything about gunshots in the area. I make-up a bullshit story about how I heard shots earlier in the day about a block away and I guess the cop believed me since I continued to walk away without him chasing me or asking me any more questions. Trying to get out of their as fast as I can, I end up seeing one of my friends (whose a photographer) about to shoot photos for one of my other friends that's skating. Both of them surprised to see me there, and not knowing what just happen, they ask me what I'm doing. I told him, "Let's get the fuck out of here and take me with you. It's not safe here and we have to leave here right now!!" (or somewhere along those lines)...

At this point I wake up at a little after 3:30 in the morning. I took a second to realize what just happen and concluded that might just be the gnarliest dream I probably ever had. I then go back to sleep.

...but holy shit what a dream that was!
