Three-Fold Utopian Dream

It's pretty early in the morning, so I thought I'd make a random post. Incubus is such a good band. I've been listening to a lot of their stuff lately, and there's this one song that I can't seem to stop listening to. I Miss You - Incubus. I'm really hoping that during my last year of highschool, I'll be able to perform it with someone. Bomb-ass song haha. What a random post.

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, utopian dream

You do something to me that I can´t explain
So would I be out of line if i said
I miss you

I see your picture
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days
But already I´m wasting away

I know I´ll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know that I care
And I miss you

Anyways, let's all try to increase the peace yeah...

Getaway

So today, 4th of July..LAST RB Parade ever! It was kinda sad actually, knowing that it's the beginning of the end. The parade was about the same as any year, ended up being hot and sweaty as usual. Go Monica Riturban! After the parade, I went over to the Mira Mesa Rec Center. Did the usual, hang out with friends, watch the b-boys/b-girls break it down at the Gazebo, and of course the fireworks. During a break from the dancing, the stage was set for this one emcee, and this kinda leads to what im talking about in this blog..


The emcee performed a pretty dope piece, I don't remember his name but he deserves some props. The main idea he talked about was a getaway. Everyone has their own getaway, something they do to pretty much let themselves go. Everyone can relate to it, pretty much the getaway is like a creative outlet. After reminiscing about the day, I realized how many "getaways" I saw. I remember seeing Geoff and Nathan skate with a couple other dudes. It was crazy just seeing what they can do with a skateboard alone, but I thought about it more and how it was a way for them to express themselves. It's like the dopest thing ever, to see people who are passionate about what they do and see them just totally tear it up know what im saying?Dancing too..seeing the music you hear through the movements the person is making. Its crazy, seeing something you hear, two different things but they connect somehow . I remember watching an interview with the Jabbawockeez, and Joe was freestyling for the interviewers while Kevin was talking about it. Kevin said how it like "stimulated two of the senses"- sight and sound. It was definitely dope seeing people dance at the gazebo. Its a blessing that we're able to have these things to use as our getaway. A getaway to happiness, a way to just express ourselves. haha i hope this is all making sense to you.


Speaking of a getaway on different terms, someone please take me to Tokyo! Get me out of this place! Only temporarily though..

today is a gift

so its summertime, and its been a long time since ive blogged. thank you alejah tabula for reminding me that i had this haha. i dont even know where to start.. summer is almost halfway done i think, im just going by summerschool since first semester ends next week. its been pretty fun so far, ive been out like everyday. Del Mar Fair for the first time in a couple years was dope, and the dancing was sick! all ya'll dancers make me super jealous haha. theres still alot of things i want to do before summer ends. i wanna explore san diego so bad, but the gas prices are holdin me back. i wanna go to a live show, MAH is on july 12th maybe maybe..john west last year was dope! or was that two i dont remember. being out pretty much everyday is nice, a getaway from the house and time to just chill, do whatever. one thing im looking forward to is (dont laugh..) is band camp. i dont care if you think im a band nerd, but its crazy knowing that im about to start my last year for something that ive committed to for a long time. its all went by fast but its already the beginning of the end. being bandpres/section leader, and a SENIOR (wth already), im so determined to live up this last year and go all out. that applies to pretty much everything else i do like school, fil am, airbands, pcn, i know im missing out other stuff.

anways, today i watched kung fu panda. it was a dope ass movie! super funny jokes and like i thought it had a good lesson. just believe in yourself and believe in things. haha i know that sounds like some fairytale bullshit but in alot of cases its true, its something to start off with, a place to begin. haha but yeah. all you gotta do is believe haha. im not tryna be super deep here or anything but yeah. another random thing, lately i went to the airport randomly with some people, and i got this feeling of wanting to get away. getting away i mean traveling. ive been wanting to travel to tokyo for sooo long. its gotten to the point where ive been thinking about studying abroad for maybe a year or so or going there after college or something. i just wanna experience new things, and go to my dream vacation of course. man, endless mochi, sushi, cool technology, i cant even start to list the things i wanna go see and stuff haha. that reminds me, studying abroad means college. i havent really thought about college that much. i really wanna figure out what i wanna do when im older, but i guess it just takes time. haha what a pointless blog.. but ill leave it with a regular but good quote from Kung Fu Panda haha..


"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present”
