my favorite part of my day is late at night, 2/3 o clock, when my mom is downstairs alone cleaning or washing dishes, i can hear her humming and singing to herself. its not that i like her cleaning its that i love her humming. its a blissful moment she has where she thinks no one is around and no one hears her. i asked her about it once, she didnt even know she did it. it just pours out of her. its my favorite thing about my mom and she had no idea. she didnt do it for a year when she got sick.. but recently i could hear her humming again late at night.
im scared of losing my parents.

Camera wishes and digital dreams
Project 365 has totally been a success! ive been taking pictures everyday (although really bad about posting them..i promise ill try to be better) and it really is helping me become a better photographer. but today tragedy struck, i realized i know enough about my camera now to want *gasp* accessories! its the beginning of my downfall. anyone who knows me or has seen my house knows i have enough stuff, and now to find something else i want to collect - exciting and tragic - like a tragic comedy? i dont think shakespeare would right about it though (although maybe he could) no, he didnt.
so i thought id share some exciting camera discoveries ive been oogling.
1. Split-Cam
and the description is awesome too:
"Imagine your boss with the head of a donkey, or your sister's legs on your brother's body. With the amazing Split-Cam, you can morph two photos together into all kinds of crazy combinations. Just use the crosshairs in the viewfinder and the lens-blocking sliders to line up two pictures that you want to be combined onto one print. You can even use it vertically to create the illusion of identical twins!"
that creates crazy panoramas like this:
3. Diana F+ and Diana Mini
(both have super dreamy qualities similar to polaroids)
 |
| Diana F+ Diana Mini |
and takes pictures like this:
(omg while writing this post i discovered there is a Lomography store right here in LA omg! i have to go!)
4. And of course, Multi-Lense Cameras!!!
 |
| ActionSampler Chrome and Oktomat |
That take rad pictures like these:
There is more cool stuff but im tired and ill save it for another post!
gnight!!

hello there
hi
its time to have a personal chat... about Jonathan Davis.
yes, he is the lead singer of Korn
yes, im secretly in love with him
im not kidding, watching vids of him turns me on like crazy. i know, everyone thinks im nuts, so lets examine:
is it is his scraggly hair? his glasses? his jacked up teeth? its all of those plus the fact that he wears kilts, plays bagpipes, and has the most beautiful lips i have ever seen (i usually only see them on guys who turn out to be gay :(
wow, that was a really personal chat
so go find a towel to sit on and watch this vid:
(i think watching too many videos of him makes me feel dirty)
ps, that was a secret!!

things i love
falling asleep.. ya know why? cause thats when my mind finally calms down enough to hear new ideas. i always got my most creative ideas just before i was falling asleep. this is the state we are trying to get to in class during meditation, but so far it only happens as a i drift away to never never land.
i was especially excited last night cause i got ideas for some new art projects, which is awesome and inspiring especially cause i havent made art in a while. Ive been feeling pretty bad about it but have allowed myself to put art on hold because im in my last semester of school.. you heard me, LAST SEMESTER EVAA!!! so yea art ideas made me happy
also in other news, more crazy drama!!!
its so weird, ive had plenty of drama in my life but this is the first time in a while that the drama is not about me - its about 2 other people that somehow ive been caught in the middle of. it sucks! cause its not like i did anything fun/bad to cause the drama but i do get all the punishment from it. ughh..
hopefully itll work out but i have a sinking feeling that this isnt the end of it.
'
tommorrow should be fun cause im gonna go shopping with faye and her sis for bridal shower stuff - tea cups and such. and ever since we started planning im all obsessive online about diy decorations etc... here are some awesome ones :

Do you want my opinion?
so im sick in bed today :( waaa
sorry i havent written in a while, ive been a little stressed out the last week. alright alot stressed out.
so last week the doc found a lump in my breast which im hoping is just nothing, but ever since then ive been slightly terrified and mostly just going nuts. not crazy nuts, but just going out and partying alot more than usual. maybe its good for me, to let loose a little.
I went to vegas and learned an important lesson: what happens in vegas, ends up on facebook.
also other things i learned: guys still are mesmerized by boobs, and if you mix capt morgan and sprite it tastes like a cream soda! awesome.
so the facebook thing also got me thinking alot about my life and secrets. I have alot of secrets. not all bad ones or hurtful, but things i dont want the whole world to know. which all sounds normal right? yea, except that nowadays it seems like no one has any secrets. that everyone knows everyone and everything about them thanks to the internet and the speed of public networking. privacy is lost on a much deeper level. maybe we know too much, maybe too much is revealed. do i really need to know the constant facebook status of my teacher? do they need to see pictures of me with my friends? i know this is a broken record but it makes me feel devious sometimes that i want more and more secrets because of this. ive realized, there is no one that knows everything about me. and i love that. i think its brilliant. its the one thing i have that i can control in my life. well, not entirely becuase im sure people find out certain things. but this desire has also made me more tolerant of others secrets. i think in the past, when people had alot that they werent saying i bugged me but now its nice in someways. now dont get me wrong, i love to talk and i think sharing intimate details really creates strong bonds, i think im just not ready to reveal everything. maybe ive been tainted by past relationships, maybe its the internet i dunno..
When i was, i dunno 15 or 16?, i read a short story (this will be amzing to some of you because i hate reading- i get too many headaches when i read) and the story made this crazy lasting impression on me.
It was a book from the teen section with 16 stories for "young adults". It was about this other world in which sex and emotional attachment were switched in a way. Its hard to explain, but basically you see kids making out everywhere with everyone, but no one sharing their ideas or emotions about anything. and one day a girl speaks up in class and it shocks everyone and the teacher comes up to her and starts kissing her to quiet her. later, the main character, a teenage boy, lies away at night fantasizing about not her body, but her ideas. at the time i thought it was a crazy world but now it seems like my world. is this just what your twenties are like? is this what happens after puberty? is this the state of "kids these days"? i dont judge people for it but it makes me sad. It feels so much easier to be physical with someone that to really share something deep, to be completely honest, to just talk. half the time when i talk to people i feel like they arent really there. chatting now just feels like commercials. i hate commercials, its just wasted time waiting for the better thing to come. but all that empty chatter makes me feel empty...
anyway read the story. its called "Do you want my opinion?" by M.E. Kerr

anyway read the story. its called "Do you want my opinion?" by M.E. Kerr
Hook: "Last night I dreamed I told Lauren Lake what I thought about John Lennon's music, Picasso's art, and Soviet-American relations. It's getting worse. I've tried putting my head under the cold-water faucet." (p. 93)
Notes for Booktalk: Sixteen is a wonderful collection of short stories covering a variety of topics. My favorite story is "Do you want my opinion?" by M. E. Kerr. In this story, John is a high school student in an alternative universe where affection and sex are totally accepted, but sharing thoughts is taboo. One day, John wakes up after having dreams of exchanging thoughts with Lauren, a girl at his school. His father lectures him not to get serious with girls and to keep his thoughts to himself. When he gets to school, he can't help but remember what happened in Thought's class last week. Lauren brought up the idea of an alternative universe where sharing thoughts is totally acceptable, but touching was a special thing. The class had laughed at her answers and the teacher told her to keep her thoughts to herself. John longs to spend an evening exchanging ideas with Lauren, but knows he shouldn't ask a girl out when he is only interested in one thing! (Robin Sitarski)

My favorite coffee shop!
Ode to Red Hill Coffee Shop
RHCS how i love you so...
let me count the ways
the grease on the potatoes
the grease on the bacon
the grease on the eggs
the grease on my steak'n
You make the rest of my life
feel healthier than before
But no matter what
thursday morning ill come knocking at your door
I love it because its where i see my guys and where my dad and i get to hang out together. Breakfast with these guys is basically a continuous string of dirty jokes and so much laughter that it becomes contagious. I love them all so much and im so happy to have adopted them as uncles.
The only thing i love more than the coffee shop is the strawberry patch down the street. I love it because its soo rare to have anything in southern california closer than 10 min away. so for this to be on my hill is amazing. plus it looks like its the last thing in rancho untouched by all the overdevelopment and urban sprawl. it functions humbly year round selling strawberries, and corn. its so simple and so perfect. I think thats why people like in n out. There are so many options and constant barrage of advertisements, billboards and flashing signs all around you that to find something quiet and simple becomes beautiful. this stand is amazing and beautiful and always makes me happy to live where i do.
Here are just some more random shots of the day that i loved
