I dont remember shit from 93, but ive always heard about 93 in seattle
and with the recession in full effect (or not…yet) alot of shit has been going down in south and central seattle
well thats what i hear anways..you know i keep my ears open for these things, i gotta stay hip to it!! haha
with the recent shooting in southcenter and the many more (which you dont hear about) in south seattle/skyway
unless you hear the gunshots and see the skid marks for yourself, thankfully i dont
the recession is hitting hard, people are stealing from friends, friends stealing from people..its getting outta hand..and i cant convince myself to pay $5 for a roll of sushi anymore.
just tellin you all to be safe out there! and if there are any dead dogs and white people dead on the road, i know who did it! BRRRRRRRAT!!
on another note, lets talk about music…lets talk about hip hop
linked up with nam and khingz yesterday night after my last class had ended, still trying to get the taste of carrot juice out of my mouth, but not being able to convince myself that i had to buy water. ive never been down with buying water! so i hit up khelil right after i got out of the tunnel, asked him if he wanted to meet up and take some photos in chinatown (i miss this place) since he lives like 5 minutes from it via bus tunnel. Headed straight for the waji (uwajimaya) and for some damn reason i spent 10 minutes looking at the sushi!!!! the price goes down after 6, because then its not fresh anymore..it gets below the $5 point, which i can do..not because im budgeting (probably it) but because i can now excuse myself as being a victim of the recession, i cant eat fresh sushi nomo, the current economy got me eating discount sushi (wtf!!)
and why did it take 10 minutes for khelil to get there when he lives 5 minutes away? i dont know..its probably because he was trying to look hella fresh for the photos, rockin that handmade wool jacket made by JILLTHY (his girlfriend)
damn jills, what do i gotta do to get one of those? pleeaaaaaasse!!!!!!
we then started conversing in a thug like manner, peepin what’s currently in and out in japanese culture, checking out the free shit they give away with their magazines (although theyre $10+ magazine, were basically payin for it), then talking about how fresh this iz and that iz, then trying to imitate it with US brands because we dont get filthy shit like they do in japan..
20 minutes later, nam arrives
and we get this shoot crackin!!!!

met daichi in front of gossip, a dj from japan, who’s actually leaving to do a show in shibuya in a few weeks…fucking jealous.
the seattle music scene is exciting right now, with all this material theyre being spoonfed from the recession, we can all pursue a more authentic gangster rap hustler persona hahaha
OHHH YEAH! AND ALWAYS CHECK OUT ANY OF THE ARTISTS MUSIC I POST ON HERE! BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ONLY AMAZING AND TALENTED LOCALS, BUT BECAUSE I SHOW THEM LOVE AND THEY SHOW ME LOVE!! WHAT GETS THEM EXPOSURE GETS ME EXPOSURE!

it’s been a long 12 years since ive seen some new db..
*PLOT*
Two years after the defeat of Majin Buu in the main Dragon Ball Z series, Mr. Satan finally finishes construction on his brand new hotel. Feeling guilty that the hotel is in honor of what the majority of Earth believes to be his defeat of Majin Buu, he invites all of the Z Fighters and their families to a banquet. Shortly after dinner begins two Saiyan Spaceships land just outside of town, and a mysterious Saiyan confronts the party at the hotel. He is revealed to be Vegeta’s brother, Tarble, who had been too deemed to weak to fight in the past and thus had been sent to a distant star before the destruction of Planet Vegeta. He asks his brother for help in dealing with Abo and Cado, soldiers who are remnants of Frieza’s army, who are causing havoc on his world.
This special is set after the Majin Buu Series, it totally makes up for the crappy GT series…i think this is a special for the 40th anniversary of shonen jump, but i could be wrong…regardless, i’m happy..it couldnt have struck me at a better time
i grew up on this and ill never grow out of it!!

Slumdog Millionaire
watch this movie now!
http://www.foxsearchlight.com/slumdogmillionaire/
“SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…”
this movie is great, i mean really really well done..great job danny
although i think the story was average, execution of cinematography and production was terrific
the movie touches alot of emotions in life, i like seeing characters develop and grow but i dont like seeing movies end by them “finally finding each other”
though the bollywood dancing at the end did catch me by suprise (how could i let that happen?)
and i truly appreciate the exposure of real-life indian culture
because they do do those things to the kids
what things?
just go and see it for yourself (;
lovin’ it
here are a few photos i re-tweeked through the new software
although i couldve done these with cs3 and lr1
the workflow is much faster and smoother with the upgrade
is it worth it?
well shit..from cs3, no..cs2..yes
i hear cs5 will be 64-bit for mac os x
that will be worth it

So I just registered for spring courses…nothing special
still going to foundations, still got writing analysis and humanities & science..no more lame ass visual art history though!! thats being replaced with life drawing..aka drawing naked people (i hope)
not in some perverted, sleezy way because you know they just have random ass people up for the oppurtunity of getting drawn naked call and set up dates
but that is, the act of drawing people naked, the epitamy of being at an art school
its the initial thought we all get when we think of art school that never changes
unlike the trendy students that claim they arent trendy but just “bringing it back”
you can tell i got problemz with the social scene here
i got no friendz
so here is my goal, besides getting a bfa degree..i want to walk out marketable
im sure we all do
but as an artist, any type of artist..you GOT to be marketable
or youre bound to fail
so im going to “minor” in design
yup
and while im at it..im aiming for my MFA too
Only Human

Design
my first book (;
hahahaha sike!!! this was an assignment for my foundations class over viewing the strategy of lines, mapping, collecting, and producing a “container of information”..its an actual book with actual stuff to look at and read inside so i was only lying about it being published..for now
i dare you to look inside..i double dog dare you
pretty good huh?
I just finished my intro to digital imaging class last week
which took up my tuesdays, my wonderful tuesdays
but now i have them back!
its now thursday, my other day off from being an art student..a day off from being a critical, self absorbed, non-matching, unappreciative, little jerk
god i hate being a freshmen all over again..but there is nothing like being an art student
sometimes i may be a little harsh on myself and others around me, like why the fuck am i here? and sometimes ill ask myself what the fuck are you doing here?
so lets try to answer that right now
im at an art school to pursue art, something i love..thats what were suppose to do in life..but another thing were supposed to do in life is make money..dont bullshit yourself, IT IS WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO DO!
pursue art + making money = as likely as making it to the nba
its not impossible, but its not likely either
okay, so im probably being a little harsh on myself right now, but i have to be..because this damn school hasnt proved to be worth it yet and the only thing that is keeping afloat is that whisper in my head
“..its worth it..its worth it..“
but that whisper, is the same whisper that tells me i can make it, you know that whisper..its called faith
what scares me the most is, im not the “starving artist” yet, this is only a transition. a 4 to 6 year transition into becoming a full-fledged starving artist and this transition into the real world is going to be the actual cause of my inevitable starvation. loans, loans, loans..
would it have been better to just not go to school and make art in my bedroom?
nah, as much as id like to convince myself about how i am “wayyyy passed” what is being taught to me, i cant..ive learned alot of things, conceptual thinking, newer ways of working, a fresh thought process into art making..but is that worth $26k a year?
can that whisper in my head hold me up after college is done? or even til spring registration?
god i certainly hope so
finally with sound
fast foward to 1:10 hahaha
