One thing I like about my life is that almost everyday I encounter at least one weird interaction with a random stranger. It makes my life interesting and funny. Since I'm out on the streets a lot, whether it be commuting or just kickin it, it's not rare to have some weirdo come up to me and tell me something. But I'm weird and I like it and I find it rather amusing.
But today as I was in the car with my friend, an older man, I'd say in his 50's, pulled up next to us. We had the music on really loud and I paid no attention to him. I was busy staring at his car when suddenly he said to me, " It must be nice being young." I looked at him and politely responded, "Nice ride."
It really made me think about how well I have it and how well we have it. I'm young and I'm healthy and I should be living my life to the fullest. Sometimes I find myself worrying about stupid shit like school or money, but I shouldn't worry because I'm young. I have enough time later on to worry about stuff like that. I'm young now and if I waste my youth, I'll never get it back. I can only imagine what that guy would do to get his youth back.
So next time I worry about school or loans or homework or whatever, I'll just remind myself about my youth. We should all stop worrying and stop trying to be mature adults and just be youthful people, full of life and having fun. You only live once.

The Return of the Jedi
It's been long since I've written on this blog. I could never find anything to write about. Sure this blog is about me, but I didn't want to be like everyone else and just write about some stupid hyped up bullshit.
Ever since I returned to the motherland in the beautiful city of Los Angeles, back from my endeavors at UCSB, I have seen the world a little differently. Hopefully others have noticed, but I can say that I am a different person, and for the better. I feel like I have matured and evolved into what God wants me to be and what I will become. I don't know if you believe in God or not, but I do and I know that God has a plan for me and I am witness to my own transformation. God has a plan for all of us, we just have to let him work.
But I'm not here to talk to you about God or religion. On a side note, I am not a religious person, but I am merely a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. You may call that Christian, but if I say Christian everyone will confuse me with all of the other non-believers and I don't want to be part of that.
Now that I'm back in LA, I feel stronger and better in everything that I do, whether it be in my music or the way I treat others. I certainly have much more appreciation for new things and for people. Not just the sexy glamorous people that are all over the magazines and television, they look good too, but I can see the beauty in all now and it feels really good.
I'm really excited to be back with my family and being apart from them made me realize how important they are to me. And now that I can appreciate my family more, I feel bad at those who don't appreciate what they have and take everything for granted. It usually takes something tragic for those people to realize what they had was good, and I'm not trying to curse anyone here and I hope it never happens to anyone. I just wish that they will realize that what they have is good and that they can appreciate it.
I'm also really excited to be with my brother, whom is my musical partner and has been since we were kids. We are both much older now and much wiser and more talented musically and it shows in our performance. I have started a project with him, I am writing most of the material on the guitar and he is my drummer. We just started this Monday and it has been a really exciting week. And just in case you're wondering what kind of music we play, we play Heavy Metal ;). And if you don't like metal, then you should really give it a chance. Like that saying goes, You only like what you know. So get to know metal and I guarantee you will like it. Trust.
Besides the music, I'm attending UCLA for the summer taking a Music class and an Art class. I really like these classes because they kind of seem to cohere. I can really relate what I learn in each class and I like it, a lot! I know I'm going to learn a lot and I'm really excited to learn it all and start using it already! I feel like I'm saying excited a lot. Whatever. In fact, the new picture I have up is from my art class. The artist is Vladimir Klimt. He's a really great artist and you should check out his work. Fan or no fan of art you'll like it.
That's pretty much all I have for now. It's only been a week and I can say that this summer will top last year's summer. One thing I try to do every year is top every consecutive summer. And so far it's been happening. I hope you guys like what I have to say and I hope I can really connect with my readers. Feel free to leave comments.
One Love. Peace.
