I like this song. I like this video even better.

After some serious procrastinating this weekend, I find it odd that I actually finished up my biography assignment with time to spare. So to celebrate, I allow myself a nice little picture post.

Spring Break has been over for days now, but I haven't had time to put up my remaining pictures. These are from the Friday I spent with Gretchine. I had some red velvet cake mix and food coloring and she had some cream cheese frosting and sprinkles. The rest, we let up to our imaginations.

The result was both provocative and delicious. After straining out the last of our artistic ideas, we proceeded to watch The Men Who Stare at Goats and Where the Wild Things Are, which, in turn, further provoked our minds to a point where everything and nothing made perfect sense simultaneously.

Somewhere in the middle of all of this, we came to the consensus that we would open up our own cupcake store, where we would sell cupcakes with hidden messages only to be revealed upon eating them. We would name the place: The Human Condition.

Upon reading this back to myself, I realize how crazy it all sounds.

Showed this spoken word to my Race, Ethnicity, and Power class today, as part of our class discussion on the police and industrial prison system. Looking around the classroom while this played, I could tell they loved it. Especially the professor. This class is the only good thing about my Tuesdays and Thursdays.

On another note, I fear that my first year of college education has led me to become a very radical thinker. The type that stands on the street corner in her turban, flowing dress, and tribal necklaces, megaphone in one hand, fliers in the other, preaching to passers-by about "the system."

But then again, I think it's not so bad. Has anyone seen Erykah Badu's new music video for "Window Seat?" It gets you thinking.

Adventures in Santa Clara

Fail on my part for not taking pictures the night Em and I arrived. Most definitely an eventful night, to say the least. To sum it up, food, then Kristel's dance practice, then Barkada meeting, then more dance practice, then more food. And eventually, sleep.

I learned that "jesus" is a vietnamese word. HAHA.

LOVELOVELOVE.

I miss FHS, the delving into the stories and the past, the gaining of knowledge, the comprehension of a way of life, and the mixing of individuals. The roots. Sometimes I wish it had gone down a little differently.

More videos here. Spread the love.

Finally got around to uploading some pictures; these were from the Berkeley trip on my first day of Spring Break.

Went and took a picture in front of an EPIC mural for me and Paolo's Raza Experience class. And I mean EPIC. If you think 3D movies are cool, try a 3D mural. EPIC.

Then we headed over to Fenton's for some epic ice cream. I forgot what the other flavors were called, due to their ridiculously long names, but the one I chose was mint cookie. Yum.

I don't think there is any need to comment about the last picture. HAHA.

More to come...
