These Boots Were Made For Kicking Ass, And Thats What They Will Do

Nike Mercurial Vapor IV

So for the past 3 weeks i have been having so much trouble trying to get these boots from the internet, because you can't really get them anywhere else. I ordered a size 10 thinking it would fit right on, but it was too big and did not feel comfortable, so I had to send them back for exchange. It has been about 2 weeks now and my sister called my yesterday saying they have came back in. I know it is a bit childish to be excited for things like this, but I am. I think it was more of the lengthy wait I had to go through than the actual boots. I know the UCLA rugby team is sponsored by adidas, but i don't really care for matching up the brands. Also, they are bright ass white, and it would be more practical to have black boots for rugby, but i will look pretty flashy on the pitch.
Next weeks game is against Loyola Marymount University @ UCLA, around 7 pm on thursday. I don't think there will be a B side game, so chances I won't be seeing much of the pitch. But its alright i have my little flashy rugby boots to keep me company.

JOHNNY CUPCAKES

Also, I missed out on Johnny's Halloween Release. Considering I spent 12 hours waiting in front of his Los Angeles store for the grand opening, I believe I am a dedicated fan. Much of my openmindness and creativity has been influenced by Johnny himself. He has my upmost respect, due to his dedication to his company and his motives to stay away from selling to corporate companies. Johnny Cupcakes merchandise is very exclusive, you don't see everyone walking on the sidewalk with a cupcake and crossbones under it. The concept of the cupcake is a brilliant idea. Little do people know, most people are drawn by the concept of the cupcake. It is unique and every one knows cupcakes are fucking delicious. Well since I didn't have the chance to be there, since my weekly schedule is very hectic and time consuming, I plan to drop by melrose and see if they still happen to have some new shirts or halloween merchandise. Merry Halloween!

all day everyday, edday day.

Books Aren't Always Used For Burning



UCLA POWELL COLLEGE LIBRARY

For those who know me, I am sure you know how much I "get along" with books. But last night, I have had an epiphany while I was asked by my best friend Natasha to study for our Math midterm at the college library. I am usually a person who never spent more than an hour on studying, but since I have been open minded to try new things I thought I would give it a shot. I have been there a few times to study on my hour break between classes, but nothing too serious. For one, it is a beautiful looking building. (Yes, I tend to judge books by their cover) And I haven't had time ever to spend 3 hours in a library to study for one test. Since midterms have been going on, they have left it open 24 hours, which, I don't know if you knew, l didn't know libraries did that. The hours I spent on the hardwood desk, surrounded by towering book stacks, was very relieving. It felt like, if you ever, finished a project for class due 2 weeks later, and you did it because you wanted to feel good about yourself not procrastinating like you usually do, or that your fucking crazy finishing things early. Yeah it was like that. Even though it was mostly studying for a midterm that only consisted of 7 questions, it felt good accomplishing some study hours. I got a lot done, and felt well prepared this morning, walked out of class with that "yeah I did pretty good" feeling. It feels good when there is one less thing to worry about. Especially when you have 5 important areas that make you worry like an obsessive boyfriend or girlfriend. So, I plan to go again tonight to finish my short essay on the "Differences and similarities of ragtime and blues, and how they contribute to the development of jazz music." And hopefully I finish it because I took the initiative last week to start it early, because yes I am trying to avoid the deadly STD called, procrastination. Unfortunately, it takes me forever to write essays and papers. I can explain in a math equation (since that is my strong subject):
f(x) = x / 4
where x equals the number of hours
and f(c), c being a vault of x, equals the amount of pages I can finish.
For example, An inexperienced student (me) is writing a paper, he works at the rate f(x) = x / 4, if he works 4 hours on his paper how long will it be?
Solution: f(4) = 4/4 = 1
*oh and don't forget your units
1 FUCKING PAGE.
Yes, I really do take that long.

In other news, I would like to extend a congratulations to my really good friends Jerome and Pete, for becoming new members of the Disney family. The time has come where we will bug them for some free passes into Disneyland. And I have dibs, on the first, so feel free to push your luck against them. I am glad to see my buddy Jerome officially hired, and now Jamba Juice and all the other places he tried can wipe his ass, while he gets payed weekly for working at the fucking happiest place on earth. Kudos to them.

Also, to those who it may concern, be ready to mark your calenders for Novemberfest! And you probably have no clue what it is, but for those who know what happened at Dusty's and Ryan's. It sort of like that, but slightly bigger. It will be fun and it will be great because the selfish people like Momo, Jakarelly, and Yvonne, who left us for school, will be back in town. Jerome, Pete, and I are still figuring things out, but it is gonna happen some time in Thanksgi
ving break. Enjoy!

Give it a Try

Hello, hello! Well inspired by the one and only Jerome, I have come to an agreement to me and myself to start jotting down the numerous things that come to my mind everyday that i have usually keep bottled up in my mind. Also, I have been told by my psychiatrist that no one in the world knows i have, to write in a journal as often as possible. Then i should read it and go over the things that i have accomplished, lost, and pretty much anything i have experienced. Not sure at all how this will help, but yeah who knows im not the professional here.

For location, I am sitting on the second floor of Courtside C7 of the UCLA dorms. Unfortunately as of now, this lonely corner of the room on the second floor is the only place i can get connection to the internet. And yes my ass is losing feeling against the hard floor.

Tomorrow is week 4 of the fall quarter, and things are going pretty steady. I miss my friends from back home. Still to date they are my backbone, and I know I can count them to be there for me. It amuses me how a 5 minute call from Eric can lift me up, or a call from Jerome about "Offish" things makes me laugh, and a unexpected lift from Dusty and Tre free me from school, which has come to feel like prison sometimes. Yeah, yeah its UCLA, big bad ass school, (well of course not in football right now) but its not much when you do not have much. I wish I could bring my friends with me and experience it all together. But I have already learn that we all take our different paths and obtain certain things from where each of us goes. School is pretty TAF (tough as fuck), and most of it is because I have bombarded myself with too many activities. On the top of my head if I could put my priorities in order it would go


  1. Family
  2. School
  3. Friends
  4. Rugby
  5. Work
  6. Pike (Pi Kappa Alpha)

More or less, that is what i could think of at the moment. Dealing with all of those in one day can get pretty hectic. Trust me, when it comes to time management make sure you put time for eating, because when it came down to it one week I was so busy i had no time eat except after 9 pm. I have gotten better at managing these things, and once the quarter is over, I know that all of this hard work will be rewarding.
Although, whatever you put in something, you don't always get as much out of it,
but im willing to give it a try. That's pretty much what this fall quarter is
all about.

all day every day, edday day
