lost in translation

So i found a program from wod in my backpack and The Shit Kings are not actually The Shit Kings. they are Shikkin. we misunderstood them. haha the joke's on us. either way they're frakkin dope.

Since the last time i posted, which was sunday nite-monday morning, not much has really happened to be honest. just trying to stay on top of my hw, which i'm not doing too well for some classes. my utmost concern is my research class because we're starting to work on our thesis. the class is helping us write our lit review, which is paper 1 of the thesis. by the end of the quarter and a little before then, i'm supposed to turn in drafts 1 and 2 of the lit review. they want 25-30 pages. yah. crazy right? the longest paper i ever had to write was 10 pages. luckily, my thesis advisors are awesomely helpful. in case you were wondering, my topic is dance-related. my reasonings on choosing such a topic are 1) it's a topic i care very deeply for and 2) since i won't be able to dance w/The Company next year, i see this as my way of staying within the dance community. i'll continue to fill you in as i meet the list of deadlines.

May is gonna be hella crazy busy for me. on top of all the papers and presentations for school, every weekend i have something to do:

May 3: last weekend class for the quarter, stop by IDC, and then off to the first practice for BD

May 8/May 9/May 10: artreezy's 21st/sfsu pcn (?)/mother's day

May 16: show in sac

May 23: scotty's wedding (congrats, steez!)

may 30: pat's 23rd

Snap, son. how am i gonna do it? tune in to find out.

I'm excited to take the hip hop class on campus that i'm not even enrolled in. algin's teaching wednesdays 4/29 and 5/6. and then i'm teaching 5/13 and 5/20!!! wat wat.

i apologize

I apologize for not being clear in my last post. i apologize for shoving my own beliefs down your throat. i didn't mean to get an education if your working. i meant that if you're working a job a high school student should be doing, like the woman on the corner with the pom poms, only then do i recommend getting an education. i'm just going to move on now.

Shaun was back in town and he was trailed by THE SHIT KINGS. that's right: THE SHIT KINGS. the dopest, amazingly crazy japanese dancers ever. apparently they were at wod when we were there, but luckily, The Company was blessed to watch an exclusive performance of their set last nite after practice. i wish i could go on about them and the rest of my weekend but i have a lot of hw to do.

May is going to be hella hella busy for me. gotta get crackin. stay up.

I've only been up for 9.5 hrs

I try to average at least 7 hrs of sleep a nite, so since i went to bed at 4am this morning, i set my alarm for 11am. it goes off at 11am, i go back to bed thinking i'll sleep maybe another half hour. i finally get up, check my cell phone, and it's frakkin 2:30 in the afternoon. that's 10 hrs of sleep. whether you see it as good or bad, i see it as i needa play catch up to all the shiznit i'm supposed to do today. my plan was to get up, eat, drop by roommate's netflix in the mail, finish my family genogram and whatever other hw i have to do and then just take it from there. well, i got the first two items done w/no problem. the third item, dropping off the netflix, became a hassle. 

I walked to the campus bookstore because the post office is inside thinking it closes at 4pm on saturdays. wrrrong. closed at 3--son of a...hopped in the car to drive around campus and, if need be, around town to find a mailbox. i head towards the nearest bank b/c i know there's gotta be a mailbox and i was right. but that was like a 7 minute drive. what's w/the lack of mailboxes, usps? as i waited for the green light arrow to illuminate, i watched a 30-40 yr. old woman on the opposite street corner energetically shake pom poms with one of those enormous arrow signs for a sale at some furniture store down the block hanging around her neck. and that's where my message for tonite comes in: Get an education!

I know some people are not meant for school or school is not meant for them, but there are programs out there that can give you a career. times are tough right now and the only way to stay afloat is to either have a job or be in school to help you get a job. listen to that black dude on the everest college commercials and give em a call. or western career college, itt tech, seqouia...give em a call if you are absolutely doing nothing. we all have something to contribute to society.

I'm a bit irked by the fact that I have to miss The Company's workshop tomorrow because i have a weekend child abuse class, but hey, it's for my career. what are you doing to contribute to society?

Have a good sunday. 

conformity's ok

no one, including myself, would expect me to do a blog. i just couldn't help myself though after hearing about all the fun several of my fellow Company members were having with their blogs. on my drive back to hayward, i was thinking of what the hell i would write about if i were to have my own blog. low and behold, i'm pretty much talking about nothing, which is fine by me because it's my first one. so watev. pish posh. oh yah, it's hella late btw. getting close to 4am. alright. i'm gonna end this blog with a message: conformity's ok as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. i conformed to starting a blog and it's ok. i promise i'll become more interesting as i get the hang of this new procrastination tool.
