So yeah for all you LA people, yes I'm alive, kicking and screaming as usual. I got the ball rolling and started shooting, not much but getting there. I had planned to buy a light kit unfortunately my finances got extinguished faster than i tought, sooooo it might be a while. I got a job, part time not the best one but it pays. I do miss school because of being in photo stuff 24-7 but at the same time im fine with out it for the time being. Im going up to LA on the 16, tuesday for some bussiness i gotta take care off, probably will go to school, so keep an eye out for me!  thats my little update for the people who haven't heard from me. miss you all very much.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to a lot of shows that are coming up in SD at the end of october and in november. Being home is so much fun, i wish i could move everyone to LA all the time. I've been watching movies like crazy, old ones new ones the works. Green Street Hooligans has to be my favorite right now

here's a little picture show, just another sunday of doing nothing.

for some reason i've been retouching with pennywise alot. its soothing and relaxing .

Today, Joey ( film dude) asked me if i wanted to go to the bike ride that happens in LA every month. I've been wanting to go for some time, but couldn't. since we are in finals and basically everythings done i agreed. after some delays, i finally meet up with him and the crew at joey's place. About 20 people i had no idea who they were, except for Joey and Mark. I get there, park my car and run to the house to get the bike. I felt like such a douche, i think they were all waiting for me. as soon as they saw my car pull up, they all started riding.
joey's riding a small bmx bike, and he gives me a uber tall, super skinny gear one. I haven't got on one for about two years, i dont remember the last time. so i get on it and we start following everyone. at this point im hardly pedaling and the bike's going in every direction, can you say balance? so going north on normandie, we make a right onto santa monica. Joey's being so cool at this point, since i suck, and scared of traffic, we start riding on the side walk. At this point we are way behind and its just the two of us. We are talking, im trying not to fall and keep my balance, and just as a said "i'm ok just as long as i don't have a major spill" BAM. there goes michelle, straight in to the metal fence, scrapping it for a few seconds, before bouncing of the fence and falling on her back. Some dudes that were walking towards us jump towards me. I guess it was pretty bad since they looked like they were all about to cry. my heads spinning, but im determined, now more than ever. I fell a block before vermont, we make a right and keep going north. riding in traffic is scary but im getting better and also im getting tired. pass sunset, pass hollywood. i get separated so i keep to the left side of the street for about two blocks. I have no condition. By the time we get onto Franklin(were the 7/11 is) i need to breathe. My head is pounding and i can feel the bump geting bigger. joey asks me if i wanna go back, i felt pretty bad holding him back so i agree. sigh i start riding back, some how I;m much more confident and the stupid bike doesnt wobble as much anymore. I'm such a loser, sigh. I put the bike back at Joey's place get my car and drive home. but not before passing by the meeting point. Los Feliz and Riverside(glassell park) WOAAAAAAAAAH THERE IS A SHIT LOAD OF PEOPLE. im so dumb, should have gutted it out. Man im so jelous right now. Well as consolation i got a piece of cheesecake and some chocolate milk at coffee bean.

I will say this on my behalf:
1) that bike, was ginormous and extremely thin.
2) Sidewalks are truly the devil
3)i hadn't got one one for the longest time.

it was a short ride, but besides the wipe out. it was pretty cool. specially riding back by myself. it fet good to feel weightless and the wind in my hair. i will say that when i passed the Kaiser on edgemont i wanted to go in(wuss). so i end this post with hopes that my face isn't swollen tomorrow morning.

i need to get my own bike. im going for the rematch.



ouch

here are some pics of the 2006 comic-con in San Diego. i only went on friday as opposed to other years where i've gone the whole weekend.(sweet). this one for me wasnt as cool as other years,but then again i didn't get to go to any of the panels or to spike and mike's animation screening at night which sucked(for me) so here they are, my little take on comic-con. GEEKNESS GALORE!! enjoi

hi this is Ramses, he has bony hands try to crack his knuckles. You won't, but try, it's fun. He can breathe like a very very very fat man and make you believe he is. And if you are lucky enough, he'll laugh at you while he sees you strugling to get up after slipping down a hill. hell, he'll even give you a score. I got a 10!

I shot this past sunday with a Mamiya RZ67(FUUCKING HEAVY) at the end, i felt like my arm was going to fall off. got nice work out, out of it though.





I gotta go to school but I'm still in bed, ughhhh sleep my favourite pastime, I need more of it. since I was procrastinating gettin up, i was going to post all the pics from my weekend, but its taking to long, so im just posting up 2 for now.

Fuck dont you just hate it when you'ver written something and the computer erases it or,your just too stupid to admit you did! I hate it. So it's 1:11pm on a Sunday afternoon, my alarm clock was an ice cream truck that passed by infront of my place(playing that tune that still tortures kids into running outside to follow the damn truck), acid is corroding my stomach as i writte this, food, need food. i stayed up all night, with a stomach ache. I've been writting on this blog thingy alot lately. somemore random thoughts. I tried posting some photos from 1st term, not the best but i had fun shooting them, anyway, i wasnt able to upload them i think they are to big. ill try again sometime tonight or during the week. so for know im posting another project we had at the end of second term. the scans came out a bit dark,one is a polaroid that's really scratched, i should re-scan again, but for now this is all i got. ohh and theres a color transperancy, but i left it in Tijuana T_T. this is ty, he works at school. he's a cool dude, when he wants to be.(just kidding ty) so i guess i am being a little careless in posting these, scratched and all i dunno i jut wanted to share something, ahahhahh(share). im gonna try with all my might to finish this week's work so i can go down south to where my heart stilll is, tj!! yeah i need my fix of wreckles fun, to much work and no play make mich a dull girl. my brother coming back from Australia in a few weeks!! i can't wait!!!. this has been on heavy rotation on my iPoderoso Crass- punk is dead Circa Survive- in fear and faith Madonna- hung up The Good Life- O'rourkes 1:20 am Beck- everybody's gotta learn sometime weird combo uh? so im gonna go roam the streets of LA, try and find something interesting to see or do. i refuse to stay confined to these four walls yet another sunday mich!
