This is quite sad, but I haven't been writing at all lately nor have I been dancing. I have been hanging out with a couple of friends, family members, working and this last week has marked my first week back at Southwestern College. I've also been busy trying to contact people from Ameri Corps. and Peace Corp. seeing if I can join either but Ameri Corps. aren't being very helpful and, apparently, you must have a degree now to join the Peace Corp. It's a real catch 22 with the Peace corp because to join the peace corp you need some sort of degree but by the time I get out of college I need to look for a job and start paying off my student loans so really I wouldn't have time to join. Bummer. In other news I got myself four dollar boots at the thrift store.
I've come to notice that I'm becoming more and more minimalist as the days go by. I've ben giving a lo of shoes and clothes away and I have money from my birthday that, usually, I would feel the need to spend but I've actually feel like giving more and more away. This has been a trend for me since i've been riding my bike more - either to the school or to visit my dad down on third or any other chula vista related unchecked box. Which brings me to the fact that I've been taking my clarinet playing a little more seriously. I still mostly improvise but sometimes I think I compose some real nice stuff with potential but then I realize that I forgot how to write and read notes, so i've been trying to change that. My Harmonica on the other hand, I don't feel the need to take that thing seriously yet - I'm having plenty fun making nonsense. That's what's been up with me. Oh yeah and last thing: I've been wanting to go camping and all the cool camping activities like hiking and swimming in a river and stuff like that. I'm really thinking of going in a month or two, is anyone else interested in stuff like that?

"Colorgenics"
So Criselle posted up this colorgenics thing and I thought it was b.s. right away. So I read through it then went on with my google reader then I saw that Maika did the same. So I read through it and thought, why not? It was simple just choose a couple of colors and wham-o! This thing is supposed to tell you more about you than you. here's what I got.

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.
All of your dreams and hopes have not materialised and consequently you are unsure of which way to go. This uncertainty has led to considerable stress but you have sufficient 'strength of mind' to overcome this state of affairs although it will take some time.
Circumstances are holding you back, forcing you to back off and to forgo all the pleasures, fun and games for the time being. But this is only a temporary situation and before you even know it the situation could change.
You are trying to prove yourself - not only to yourself but also to everyone around you. There is much that you would like to say and do but the situation warrants self-restraint and that is the last thing that you have on your mind. It would seem that you have an unsatisfied need to ally yourself with others whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to stand out from the crowd. This is subjecting you to considerable stress but you tend to stick to your attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Of course, you are finding the situation uncomfortable and would like nothing better but to break away from it but you don't like the idea of compromise. Your main problem is that you are unable to resolve the situation because you continually postpone making the necessary decisions. You feel that if you make the wrong choice this would lead to such opposition that you would not be able to command the esteem of others. It is essential that those around you are prepared to comply with your wishes.
You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.
The first paragraph is 100% true.
Second paragraph is total B.S.
Third paragraph: Circumstances are holding me back from some things but sure as hell not "all the pleasures of life"
Fourth paragraph: I suppose I could connect this to some things in my life but I would really have to work to connect it in this way.
Fifth paragraph: that's as ambiguous as saying "there is a woman in your life..." hahaha
Overall it was kinda cool, I liked the first paragraph because that is very much me. the rest of it was either b.s. or I had to really jump to connect it completely. It's probably because I'm o.k. with everything that's happening in my life - If i wasn't i'd probably say this was spot on. Though right now circumstances are holding me back I have patience, perseverance and a good head on my shoulders so I know I can handle anything and everything that comes my way. Sweet.

No Update
I have not updated in forever and three weeks, very sorry.
It's been crazy busy until very recently.
Last week I went to Vegas to support the girls I teach at the Hip-Hop International championship.
Unfortunately They didn't make it too far but to succeed, it is necessary to know what it doesn't feel like to know how it feels.
Anyway, It was crazy hot - 118 when we got in. First friggin' day.
it felt like when you open an oven, all the time. hahaha
other than the smoldering heat it was pretty bad ass.
We stayed off the strip but visited once or twice before we transfered over to our second and final hotel, which was the Orleans. It was a nice trip and wish I had the patience to type more about it.
Highlights Include hanging out with all my girls, the Bendorf's, Francine, Heide and Ivan.
It was nice to hang out with Ivan especially because we're very much a like but have never gotten the oppertunity to hang out at all. Biggest highlight must be when Heide and Ivan got to the brewskies. Ask me about it some other time.
When we got back was my first day of work. Very very very fun and rewarding but it's only 2 hours a day, 4 days a week. naturally, i'm looking for a second job. I work at a after school program entitled after school all-stars where I tutor students in any subject they find trouble in. Like I said, right up my alley but not enough alley. hahaha
It seems on digital paper like I haven't been doing so much but I'm sure I'm leaving plenty of tid-bits out.
Good couple of weeks, looking forward to starting my two classes next Tuesday. Speaking of which, did you know that SWC increased their prices? Sad, still affordable but I always knew swc as the 20 per unit college. Oh well, we're all hurting I suppose - ecen good 'ol es doube ya see.
