I fucken wish I could've met Tupac and talk about his poetry as well as his visionary knowledge through literary works he read. The guy is insane (and I'm not exaggerating).
And the irony of reading this for my class:
"The way these kids study Shakespeare in class now, they will study my work, too" -Tupac Shakur
Yeah, I'm on a Tupac frenzy. Let me be. It's just that I never bothered to take a look at the guy's life, and now, it's incredibly fascinating to discover his ways pre-thug life.
1. I hate drawing teeth. 2. This was suppose to be a sketch, thus I didn't pay attention to proportion. 3. I'm too tired to ever work on this piece again (got lazy, you can tell) 4. Yeah, this just shows how much I've lost for not practicing. 5. Tupac's a fatty. hahahah :D

I've got a proposition for you guys. Call me crazy, but I think Berkeley drivers could and should be more cautious about the pedestrians whom (did I use this in the right context?) they share the streets with. How did I come to this proposal you ask? I almost got ran over four times on my walk home from the Tap Ex in downtown Berkeley. And I wasn't even wearing all black which means I was clearly visible. Jeez, do I need to wear a orange hazard sign in order to keep myself from danger? ):
Catching up on school. Starting to eat healthier because I realized I possess the symptoms for diabetes. Trying to start doing my daily work outs again. I hope that sooner or later I'll get back into running. Left my camera back in San Jose. Almost done with the Initial D DVDs Cuong lent to me. And I can't think of anything else.
I thought it'd be kind of cool to share my top played songs (I'm going with 15 songs, just 'cause it's not too much nor too little) of each month. It's quite often (in a "not-to-be-bragging" sort of way) I come across some kind of music I just absolutely love and adore and can't get enough of, and I honestly want to spread the news.
So, this playlist I've compiled is based off of how often I feel I have listened to these songs within the past couple of weeks, how eager I get to talk about them, and well, just how awesome I think they are. Some are old songs that I've recently fallen in love with all over again while others are totally brand new to me. Hopefully this will become one of those monthly things I do (other than get my period ... ha, ha). And if you want to get a hold of one of these songs onto your computer after youtubing/imeeming/whatever-ing, it doesn't hurt to ask the girl who posted this playlist. She'll probably have it. Enjoy!

I guess you can say my choice to somehow miraculously make it out to the beach house this weekend & hang out with the Cupertino boys (and Jean, Keisha, Amber, Elaine) was worth it. And let's not forget that the last night has yet to arrive. I haven't spent this much time with them in so long that it's overwhelmingly nice to be around them. It's only been three years of having them be an existance in my life, but it seems like it's been forever & a day. They're the sweetest guys I know.(:
But anyway, I've been slacking off in school ever since it started, and I think that it's about time I get my act together, start reading all my text books, attending my classes, and know what the fuck is going on in all of them (for as of now, I am completely and utterlessly clueless as to when everything is due or everything that may have already been due). I didn't work my ass off at a JC so that I can now slack off at a University that I'm supposed to be a proud student of. Thus, I am staying in while everyone is at the beach, doing my homework (after this blog break, of course). And later tonight ... PARTY HARDDD BITCHES.
Porposturous people ponder for peace. But perhaps it's because people just don't see.
So, I've been jumping from one blog site to the next, trying to figure out which one would fit me best. At the very beginning was xanga.com, the ever so teeny-bopper-loving blog page that people enjoyed customizing with their html coding/photoshopping skills. But as time progressed, so did the site itself. I came back to it a few years later only to find that xanga had disabled much of the customizing of one's site. So then I went forth to geocities.com where I began creating my own layouts and blog posts. This got kind of complicated, though, because I never had the program to generate javascript and such, and things got more and more hectic in school. Then came an e-mail from yahoo! telling me that geocities was being shut down. Okay, I thought to myself. This is probably a sign to move on. Thus, I did. And I thought tumblr.com would support my needs, but I was soon faced with disappointment, because although it makes blogging so much easier & faster, it lacks a lot of things I want. And so, I stubbled upon blogspot.com. I don't know how this will go, but I hope it can convince me to love it with all my heart. My god, I feel like I'm looking for the perfect lover, failing epically at it, by the way.
Oh, one more thing. I am not much of a happy camper, because someone thought it would be cool to steal the blog username (soburelusions) I have been using for god knows how long and make a blog on blogspot with it. It is in no way affliated with me. And that is also why I had to come up with some bizarre username of my own. versatilechaiold? Yeah, you'd think I'd be done with making up bullshit words. I'm not.(:
