"I've Been Holding In//Not Holding On..."

sometimes when you're no longer w/ some1 and you bump into them... there's
'Nothing Left To Say' - Late Night Alumni Empty Streets

*listen w/ some Behringer, Pioneer or what have you stereo headphones..
*i listened to this at about 7:00pm upon a crystal clear Santa Cruz evening with stars gushing and flickring everywhere! captivating.
*i love the Late Night Alumni, i/m me for their album!

yesterday was valentine's day... i spent it delivering some valentine's cards before the night's end, including one card to a 'special someone' as the Hallmark subject categorized it as.. haha!

anyway, one thing i loved about living in Japan were the music videos and commercials. And although Santa Cruz has hit somewhat of a dry spell, there's no doubt the rain shall invite itself upon us 1nce again, a mode of depressive weariness resetting in + unspoken pleas to be free from cloudy days.

but it's never a good idea to keep things in like that.

i love music videos in the rain or in airports... this MV just so happens to have both! haha.

K. featuring Verbal + DJ Taku - 'After The Silence'

-(if you don't know japanese, you probably won't understand 95% of this song, but it doesn't matter, you may like the music and beat, Taku of M-Flo has never disappointed me!)
-(trivia: what Micheal Jackson song is sampled in the chorus? answer in the next blog!)

w.s.m.w.t.t.t.!. (wearily slugging my way to the top!)


'i stayed up all night
so i could get this thing right.'

happy 1st post.

hey, i had to escape from www.xanga.com/streetsoul_lounge, it was getting too depressing for me to keep up with that universe. start fresh and stay fresh. freshness to go around!

justin resuello made me fall in love with lomographs and i've become a flickrwhore and an imeem one as well!

a few of my favorite, guilty pleasure as of late: checking out a girl's...RAINBOOTS (you dirty minded sonofa!), stuff with plaid (although houndstooth joints have become the craze! don't be late!), photography like it's a plague if i don't snap another photo... studying so diligently my mom gets worried!, this girl in my Calculus3 sections that i can't get enough of (!), and not expecting anything anyone for valentine's day... damn man, my calculus professor broke down how crucial it was to study this weekend!:

"okay you guys... i know it's raining so hard outside that you'll all be depressed and worrying 'when will this depressing rain go away?', or 'will i be somebody's valentine??', and this that and the third... so i know that all of you will have nothing better to do, except to study your calculus!"

other guilty pleasures: nice pants, selling my shoes away, the music center at past midnight, candid metro bus snapshots, and some girl at my school, initials d.a.

anyways, i hate talking too much about myself. well i like watching good videos now and then, and i know, MAJOR LATE PASS, but i can't deny something fresh when i haven't seen it before. loving this video definitely.



and another one.
