So ja... another week has past since the last entry. This isn't too bad, one week later. I'm going to try to get back into the blogging thing more when I get back to school. That's the idea.
Which leads me to thinking about how I need to sit down and figure my shit out. I also need to figure out my expenses. There is the High End Systems training on the wholehog lighting desk that I really want to take, but it conflicts with the first day of classes, and so on. And I'm basically royaly fucked on many levels. I need to figure my shit out. This is the last year, and I need to get it right. And yeah, shal we say departing anxiety setting in? Who knows..... Mabey it's just all the stress of camp getting to me.

Whatever. Speaking of camp, so last week the video was "challenging" to say the least. I had a class of entirely 11 year-old's. Yeah and one of them was definately problematic to say the least. And at that age they are always sorta a pain. As for this week, I've got the oldest kids. Now that I've been thinking about it, we're sooooo off of it with the movie they intend to make. It's a freaking special effects sequence. I got WAY to caught up in it during the planning stage, and wasn't there enough to really realise that "oh shit." So I'm not entirely sure what we're going to do about it. I really don't want to rain on their parade, cuz I love the idea. It's just not entirely on track. Fuckitall. We shal see. These kids are motivated to take the time to make this video work.

Anyway, as for me. This weekend was great! I mean it was the weekend I'd been needing majorly for a long time. Friday, was gogin to go up to SF for some clubbing, never did. Just WAY to fucking tired. Too many nights of only 4 hours of sleep this past week. So just had dinner with my mom and bro, showed them some of my kids' videos, and then hit the sack.
But saturday was great. Finally got up to San Francisco to go and just chill and also buy myself another pair of jeans. Got myself a nice pair of Levi's Boot cut (527) in a nice darker wash. Still lightly worn, but hey, when radio to the stockroom and ask they to bring out every 28X30 in that style and only 3 come out, it's pick one. Also intersting, the guy helping me his name was Niall, which is the Gaelic origin of Neil, but oddly as far as pronunciation went, it was the european way (like my name.) So was funny cuz the other guy on the floor was "Neil!" trying to get his attention, and was confusing the fuck outta me. Anyway, nice guy, similar (if not closely to identical) taste in jeans. Yay, I wanna wear them! (weather, cool off!)

Oh shit, forgot about Saturday evening! So friend from high school, Spencer was doing a little shindig at his place. He was a freshman when I was a senior at my high school. We've kept in good touch tho. Anyway that was fun and nice. Ended up sticking around for like.... many hours, till like 4am or some shit chatting, just 4 of us. But gowad that was fun, and odd at the same time. A deal of deep shit we chatted about, but at the same token just some good shooting the breeze. Late night conversations are, "intersting" in a nutshell.

Now in terms of odd stuff, yeah been thinking weird shit lately. Well not really thinking, just feeling odd shit based on what I know my mind is mulling over in the background. Ok, this is one thing that I believe, well hell I know it's one thing that's affecting it is like, tattoo's. Yep that's right I said it. You think, "What the hell sparks HIM to think about such?!" And well think about it, I'm a rather mold-able person. And if you think otherwise, think again, cuz I know myself better and I know that's the case. If I really stuck to my guns about "ideas" then I wouldn't be this majorlly openly gay (and rather stereotypical at times) guy. And also major fashion stuff, wouldn't be up to that either. But hey, society presses upon us, and most of us mold, I happen to often actively seek molding in. Sad? Eh, whatever let's skip that discussion for now.
Ok, so here at camp two guys (that I know of) have them, Trey who I know from UCSC and "Spooky." Are they anything major, nope. But both quite nice. So what sparked my intersting in such? Well of course they've always been sort of an icon of at culture as a way to ultimately make your mark, literally. There has always been the characters on the shoulder, or the Pacific island style bands, whatnot, all simple. But the thing is that for anyone who's ever thought about it serously, you can't have any wavering thoughts about it, it's not going away anytime soon. And of course any ideas I'd have were at the best, "mabeys." No, not going to work.
The real idea got going when I happend to read an Wikipedia article on Brent Everett. (You can go search it. That's all I've seen, shutthefuckup.) But what got me was the one he has on his left arm: two lines below his elbow going around his arm. VERY simple yet really elegant, really. So that got me thinking, and then I thought of a very interesting location sparked by one of my shirts. The inside/bottom side of the bicep. So Basically unless you've got your arm raised and no sleeves it's hidden. (Not that I'm trying to hide it.) That idea came from a Volcom shirt I've got that has a print basically on the armpit area of the shirt, quite cool, I love it. Now for the design, well lots of thinigs come to mind but many fade as fast as I came up with them. The one that keeps coming back again and again and again, is simply what this site is sorta built on, a box. But like in the logo, an isometric cube. I have no idea why it's so damn interesting to me, but it's something that I always drew as a kid. I loved to freehand prespective stuff. And in architecture in high school I loved doing isometric diagrams. And it was the instant idea for the logo for this site.
And since the creation of this site, there has been so much that this site has become. I mean really this site has been my portal, well more like everyone's portal into my inner thinkings given I tend to post them right here. But yeah, isometric/perspective cube. So yeah, I'm just goinng to leave it at that, why that fascinates me so much, and why it seems like a "good idea." In some ways I like it cuz it's just so damn simple and the location is like "wwwhhhaat?" And no stealing my ideas bitches!

And yeah that is that. I'm feeling the need for chill time. Literally and figuratively. I need to go ice skate some. It's always been one of my passive outlets. Well hockey was also a huge outlet. I need to make use of it. I think that's my wednesday. I think I need an ultimate break from camp for a bit, and I need some ice. Yep. But anyway this has been huge long entry of sifting thru weeks (if not months) of thoughts. Anyway sleepies time, need to teach and such in the morn. Laters!
