Im back from my trip to Boston. it was really fun, the landscape and overall feel of the east coast is so much different from the west. especially a place like Boston, where the history is so rich you can feel it. i have a ton of pictures so ill make this a picture blog with just a brief description of my itinerary. I got to Boston on thursday 6/21 and stay at my grandmas in Boston. the next day we drove up to Cape Cod. we went to Martha's Vineyard and all the good spots and stayed in the cape until sunday night and left back for Boston. monday we all around north Boston where we went along the freedom trail and hit all the tourist spots and historical landmarks then headed up to Salem. Salem was my favorite, it was so cool and full of interesting things. we went to the House of Seven Gables if youre familiar with Hawthorne, and we went to all these witch memorials and ghost sights and learned about the witch hunt hysteria. we took a night tour of the most haunted sights in Salem. tuesday we went to south Downtown Boston and went to the Boston common, the duck pond, we went to Harvard and looked around the campuss area. then we went to the Museum of Fine Arts Boston which was amazing and we went to the oldest library in America which was so beautiful and big. and i went home on wednesday... overall it was great i dont travel much so it was good to leave the state. ps: it was hot as **** there dont ever go there in the summer its humid and over 95 degreesit sucks.

here are the pics:

P.S. i got some really cool new plugs! theyre Indonesian Water Buffalo horn and bone inlay plugs. organic handmade plugs. dont worry theyre not killed for jewelry.the horn and bones are carved into jewelry to celebrate life in their tribes and fully utilize each animal that passes away. pretty cool.

well i graduated last friday. im not sure how i feel about it yet. i mean i was excited but i feel different now. im happy to be out of school but somehow unfulfilled. it doesnt feel like any other summer. i dont know.... i guess maybe it just hasnt completely sunk in yet.... the fact that i never have to go to school again. at the ceremony i was thinking a lot... should i be proud? should i deserve all this... im not special i did the minimum.. i graduated high school, wow. i made par, i did what i was supposed to do, why should i be praised? as i argued in my head an american-society brainwashed thought came up.. i dont know why i thought it but to make myself feel accomplished i said, at least i feel happy i can start my life now...then i argued with myself, but why does life start after high school? because now i can work to feed the government? now i can become a productive individual working to fuel the never ending black hole named economy. why is my life valued most when im an adult? OH thats right because i make money and i am worth something in society. i constantly hear, youre in the world now, get ready to start you life. this is the real world. according to society thats where you enter the "real world" why? because your responsibility changes? it simply shifts to another set of goals. the "real world".... what does that consist of? real people? was i not real before? what world did i live in? not everyones lives start after high school. my life started a long time ago, when i realized i am soley responsible for myself through my own actions and nobody will ever love me like i love me. my life started when i learned everything around me has been fake and i finally learned opened my eyes to the scene behind the curtain. that happened years ago. so why wasnt i in the real world before? there are some adults who havent entered the real world and some kids who deal with it at 12. i guess what im getting at is i didnt need some diploma to tell me i can stop living in a fantasy, and start feeling the cold hard sting of reality. because the manipulation of our society has killed reality. the media and movies have intertwined with the fibers of reality, taking over, and no one can establish the difference anymore. reality shows with actors, made for tv love, fake news, pseudo security, acting out a true story, plastic people. when reality becomes so clouded, the definition of such a thing is so unknown and beyond our comprehension as human beings. please elaborate on this statement, what the **** qualifies you to tell me i was living in an artificial world until this point in my life. until this very second i was not real and my life begins now. so many people are oblivious to the truth of their surroundings. what makes their world anymore real than mine? theyre fake idealistic. yet they live in the real world and up until now i wasnt..... moral of the story, or the point at least, my life and the real world began when i started living my own life not someone elses. not my parents, not society's and not the governments. and i dont need some middle class socialist pig inviting me into their whorehouse. into their real world made up of plastic smiles and bloody money. no... by popular definition the real world is where life begins.. by my definition THEIR real world is where my life ends, and i will never enter it. **** you, i started to wake up years ago. and i dont want to live in your fictitious little world where you live to work, and die empty. a world where people are always hungry for more until they consume everything, the most horrid monsters are disguised and believed to be saints, the common man is driven by money and blind folded by its false promises, then back stabbed by the pain of his empty existence. and the systematic lifestyle of a cookie-cutter suburbian drone is ideal in a perfect life. this is far from perfection. this is your real world where your society tells you what you want, dream and need. you need this brand, you need that car, you fear this. every emotion is controlled by societys definition of the american dream. " we are living in the age of which the pursuit of all values other than money, success, fame, glamour, have either been discredited, or destroyed. money, success, fame, glamour for we are living in the age of the thing."

not my world.

p.s. if anything at all makes sense to you im suprised, i was venting and it was kind of all over.. sorry.

well. yesterday was my last day of high school ever. it was a little weird but exciting at the same time. as much as i hated that place, i know nothing else. ive been thinking a lot and its just weird. for almost as long as i can remember, ive been in school. everything i did revolved around it. now, im done... and its kinda like i dont know anything else. but i know probably everyone goes through this and i will move on, its just some feelings ive been experiencing that i felt like sharing. ANYWAY, its been an awesome couple weeks. two weeks ago i took the amtrak to orange county to stay with my friend for a few days, it was fun, parties and whatnot. we went to this venue, ate dinner and saw a Doors cover band which was pretty entertaining. (basically some middle aged fathers dressed in leather pants playing The Doors songs.) last friday i went to see the Aquabats at House of Blues, they were great! (second time seeing them, it just gets better) then um i went to school took finals.. my final grades were B, A, B, B, C, A.... not that impressive but good enough for me, probably some of the best grades i got all high school. haha. so i got all my credits which means i get to walk in graduation. the ceremony is one week from now so i get the week off until then. um last night was such a good night! ok let me set some foundation for the story. so for the past 3 years me and ALL my closest friends all hung out at my good friends house. we've had so many good memories, so many fun times. it was all our "place" you know what i mean. so much stuff has gone down there. but things started changing and soon we werent really going over anymore and the house was getting remodeled and there were some differences among some friends so eventually we stopped going there. and i felt a certain emptiness. i mean i loved everyone there but now i hardly see them, because everyone does their own thing. well last night all my friends went to see The Faint at Soma (second time seeing them) it was AMAZING! there were so many people and i never danced so hard in my life. i had more fun this time seeing them because i danced WAY more and didnt give a **** what people thought, i just went off. and me and my friends would find each other in the crowd and dance, it was awesome. it was a great show, met some cool people, it was cool. so after we get out we're all pumped and happy we all decide to meet at the house we used to all the time. so we bumped the music just like yelling at people on the streets, singing to them, talking to people in other cars, just messing around but it was fun. we get to the house and it was so fun. we all just had a great time singing and dancing. we just talked about everything and made jokes... it was everything i missed, i felt happy again. they mean so much to me and to see everyone together again was just so great. it was just like old times. we had nothing to drink so we just popped open a bunch of wine! hahah it was funny but it got the job done. and the night ended the same, my friend got too drunk to drive so he generously handed me his keys and i gave everyone a ride home! haha i had an awesome night and its a good start to the summer....

ps. i painted a new canvas. and this girl from my school wants to buy it for $100 bucks! pretty good start for a starving artist.:P

ok ok there was no "adventure" per say, because i didnt really go anywhere, but i did have a lot of fun. i kinda started to get a little bored of the old Gspot so i didnt go on much. i came on every now and then to check whats new in the gaming world and OT and whatnot but there wasnt much goin on. so i slowly digressed from my everyday postage... i concentrated on graduating more and getting my grades up. i got my cap and gown the other week and i felt one step closer to G-ing The FO! i bought my grad nite ticket, which is this thursday btw ;) excited. ive just been hanging out, chillin, practicing driving for my license, and the usual. lets see what else have i done, oh yea i stayed at a hotel in downtown san diego called The Horton Grand. i stayed in a room that ive read in books and stuff that was haunted! me and my brother are kinda into that paranormal stuff, watch a lot of ghost hunters, so we got that room. it was a little creepy at first with that old fashion asthetic but turned out to be not that scary.. it was more cool than scary... it was fun just taking the day off and walking around downtown, night life, and hanging out with my brother and our friends. it was cool. my brother got new turn tables so ive been messin with those, making some beats.. ummm im graduating in 3 weeks well 13 school days actually.. woot. and thats pretty much it. im going to the OC on friday for the weekend to hang out with my friend that lives there so that should be fun. then im going to the Aquabats the following friday, then The Faint the next friday, which i might add is my last day of school! THEN the saturday after that im going back up to orange county for that same friends birthday.. pretty action packed you might say eh? my graduation ceremony is on the 15th! so yea... thats it for now, missed ya guys. ill be in and out from time to time so ill be seein ya. lllaaates

ps the Halo 3 beta rocks! its gunna be a great game.

ZOMG 2 BLOGS IN ONE DAY?! call me crazy.... but i got bored and decided to update that about me blog. though you probably dont really care.. so um here it goes.

this might take a while considering the fact that theres a lot of info to be divulged.. ill start small and separate the movies into another blog for another day because well... there are way too many movies on my list. so ill go ahead and talk about music..

basically a little of everything, and lots of some things..

i like a lot of house/electronica/dance/techno/happy hardcore like Benny Benassi, Aphex Twins, Global Djs, The Capricorns, Audio Bullys, Daft Punk, Felix Da Housecat, The Unicorns, Tatu (yea i said it) Dido (oh yea said that too) Vitalic, Scissor Sisters, Fischerspooner, Dirty Sanchez, VNV Nation, Peaches, Moving Units, Freezepop, Prodigy, Tracy and the Plastics, Junion Senior, Alice Deejay, Gunther, Kylie Minogue (aw yiah) Ladytron, The Faint, DJ Mangoo.... stuff like that random stuff and LOTS of DDR music..

and im into punk and grindcore and some kinds of metal... im just gunna name bands that fit in the general area of this catigory with bands like Against Me, Aus-Rotten, Dystopia, Crass, Misfits, Danzig, A Global Threat, old AFI, Discharge, Caustic Christ, Adicts, Phobia, Destroy, Toxic Narcotic, Reagan Youth, Subhumans. The Locust, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, GBH, Marilyn Manson, DETHKLOK! Cradle of Filth, Strapping Young Lad, Slayer, System of a Down, Son of Sam, Suicidal Tendancies, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, X-Ray Specs, Gravytrain.

then i like some ska bands like The Aquabats, Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish, Catch 22, Big D and the Kids Table, Suburban Legends, Mustard Plug...

um i like some Japanese music too like again DDR music, The Pillows, Moi Dix Moi, Malice Mizer, Dir En Grey, Psycho Le Cemu, X Japan, and various random anime and video game themes...

you gotta love the 80s and classic rock and stuff um... Oingo Boingo, David Bowie, Queen, Styx, The Beatles, The Doors, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, Journey, New Order, Tears For Fears, Ram Jam, Prince (oh yea) Sting & The Police, The Smiths, The Cure... stuff like that

i like some rap or hip hop like Del tha Funky Homosapien, MC Chris (w00t) Dead Prez, Atmosphere, Immortal Technique, and some of those other radio songs that are fun to sing but not to admit... guilty pleasures.

then theres the other music im too lazy to put into individual categories cause theyre all weird technical progressive alternative and other stuff im too lazy to sort so im just gunna say theyre all really good... Adam Green, Gorillaz, Bjork, Blood Brothers, Blur, Bob Marley, Bright Eyes, Death Cab For Cutie, Postal Service, Death From Above 1979, Desaparecidos, Eek A Mouse, Electric Six, Franz Ferdinand, Gnarls Barkly, Ima Robot, Interpol, The Killers, Echo & The Bunnymen, Modest Mouse, Muse, Pixies, Radiohead, The Rapture, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scarling, The Shins, Smashing Pumpkins, the Strokes, Sublime, Tenacious D, Weezer, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.. basically all that was just a general taste of the music i like... my itunes is full... but yea you get the idea. youre one step closer to remotely knowing me.

if youve made it this far wow i congratulate you because i probably wouldnt read it... thanks for the interest.

Well the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters comes out today! ive been an Aqua Teen fan for about 5 years now and ive been waiting for this movie since they announced it... i remember seeing the first clip of the movie when they premiered it at Comic Con 04 i believe. Since then ive been waiting and now its finally here! Ive met Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro (Writers and Directors) on more than one occasion as well as MC Chris (voice of MC P Pants, Little Brittle, and Sir Loin) and Dana Synder (voice of Master Shake) so as you can probably imagine im very stoked to see this movie tonight.. and in retrospect lets take some time to remember some of the greatest moments in Aqua Teen history...

When they first appeared on Space Ghost Coast to Coast

When they premiered their show on Adult Swim Dec 30, 2000

When they had some black guy kinda narrating (quite possibly the artist of the theme song Schoolly D)

When the episodes had the Dr. Weird openings instead of Spacecataz

When the Mooninites first landed

When Danzig appeared on the show

When Carl had hair. and that mail order bride..and huge freakin hands..and a car that was 2 wicked.. and a pool that looked like it was tearin ass around the yard but it was stayin still

When Shake was not The Drizzle..

When Meatwad was pregnant

When Frylock went on a killing spree

When they escaped from leprechaupolis

When Carl and Meatwad wanted candy

When they were visited by the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future

When Shake ate the Broodwich

When the Mooninites blew up Boston

(insert your memorable moments here)

I LOVE YOU AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE.... YOUVE SERVED ME WELL
