DreamsDreamsDreams

Last night i had a dream so real that i felt i was actually in it. I was around 10 again, and i rushed outside to play some ball with my friends. We would play in this grassy area behind a laundry matt. We called this Trailer Trash Ball at the
Brown Monster. 
The Brown 
Monster was a huge wall that was in between you a a game winning homer.
 All my friends that i grew up with were here and ready to give our all to win. My team, The Angels 2.0 won, and we were off to the playoffs :)

Color Me!!!

 In this post, I decided to travel back in time and do what I did best...COLOR!!!!It was fun coloring a color book once more! I picked up a random book from a dollar store and found some colored pencils. It was cool because I found a picture of a super hero flying in the air. When I was little, I was crazy about heroes that I even wanted to become one myself. Then I found a cool cat with a red ball and backwards hat. It was funny looking at all the random pictures that a child could pick to make it look unique. Then on top of that you got the endless amount of colors you can use and no one can tell you no don’t color that boy green or the sky isn't purple; you are the one in control. With that, this was nostalgic and I hope coloring is still a big thing in children’s lives.

The Munsters

I saw that we could watch an old show like Bewitched or I Love Lucy! i found an old show around the same time period called The Munsters. This show is a about a monster family of 4 and their darling niece who face whacky family situations with a monastery twist. they consist of a Frankenstein  father, his "bride" the count grandpa, their wolf man son, and their human niece that lives with them. In their minds, they are normal and think of the rest of the world as them. The funny thing is that everyone see's them as monster, everyone except their niece. In their minds, they are normal. I got much laughs from this old black and white show. Imagine it as a Halloween themed family sitcom with its own spooky humor. I spent watching half of their 1st season and i recommend this to those of fans of sitcoms and Universal Studios Monsters.

 

Long Live

Can you imagine one of your favorite bands breaking up? It's horrible to think but it happens. I was lucky to go see the farewell tour of The Chariot in my hometown Anaheim California. It was at Chain Reaction which is known for being small and great for some crazy shows. All i coukd say was wow!!! It was a sad but great show!!! They teared up the stage, , i got to see them one last time, and i got to see some cool bands. A band i like alot called GlassCloud played as well. Ot was great seeing the acts up close and being part of a crazy audience. Good friends, active crowd, amazing performancws, meet and greats, just a full on good time. At the show i got hit in the face, ribs, everywhere multiple times and i have a sore body afterwards, but man was it worth it!!! :) Long Live The Chariot

This Make Me Happy!!

This is Me!!

I've noticed that i haven't really expressed myself to everyone. Well of Course my name is Steven and i like to think myself as a loner. I spend most of the time by self in my room trying to create something or just slacking off. The things that make me happy and make me me are the following. All in all, i love art, everything about it! Whether it me music, art, anything. I love to paint, draw, play guitar, and much more. i love writing music and especially with other musicians. This has come from going to shows and festivals where I've seen bands. These bands have inspired me to be like them. Horror films is something to dye for in my life. I really enjoy old slasher films and even old black and white ones. Also i am a huge sports guy. Actually, i mainly like Baseball and Hockey. If i had more money, i would buy tickets to games more often. There is way more things that make me happy, but these are some main things that make me the most happy. 

Quackmenship

Quacksmenship

Alfred was a little duck who had a terrible terrible problem. He would be a total smack talker when it came to sports. He was the cockiest duck in the world. He was so arrogant and cocky that other ducks and animals never really liked him. He would run his beak saying he would crush the opposing team and would leave victorious. The problem was that he really wasn't that good in any sport. He would never practice to get better; he didn't really love to play sports. What he loved was showing off and try to get everyone's attention. Football game 1: he got crushed. Basketball game 2: not even close. It went on and on with him losing and running his beak. He never won!! He never learned!! Then one day a rat named Izzy sat him down and showed him his Alfred's own demons. Alfred saw how much of an animal he was. Baseball game 9: The opposing team of lions were on the field waiting for Izzy and his team of ducks to face them, but where were they. Minutes passed and they wouldn't show up. Right when they were about to leave, they appeared. What the lions didn't know was for the past week, Alfred his team were practicing non stop and not showboating. Game 9 turned to be a game for the books, the ducks tremendously won by god knows how much. The lions were devastated and worried to hear the horrors that they were waiting to come out of Alfred's beak. They were shocked, what they got were beak shakes and a nice compliments from Alfred and his fellow team mates. Izzy helped teach Alfred a valuable lesson: Don't be a pain in the duck: practice, have fun, and show good Quacksmenship.

"Painting" to Music

"Painting" to Music

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For this years Carpe Diem activity...i have decided to "paint" to music. Technically i used pastels and this is a project i am doing for Advance Art the past week or so. So i have been working on it in class, but my art teacher allows us to listen to music while we work on our art. For this project i decided to do a portrait of Walter White from Breaking Bad. In this picture, it shows the 2 sides of him which is Walter White and Heisenberg (which is his alter ego).  The music that I've been listening to was bands like Dance Gavin Dance, Van Halen, Norma Jean, The Listener, The Chariot, and many other that i can't remember right now. It was cool because when i was doing the Heisenberg side, i would listen to harder types of music that would get me into the evil mood which helped me feel like him. Then when it came to the Walter White side, i listened to soft or beautiful types of music.I really enjoyed working with the music in the background because it would get me in the zone when i was doing this piece, I am still working on it and it will provably take be a couple of more days. One thing that's for sure is that i will continue enjoying the art and music.

List of Top 10 Favorite Words

List of Top 10 Favorite Words

I know it might seem dull to write a post about your favorite words, but it isn't as easy as you think. Truly thinking about your favorite words is tough to the point that we just settle for any words that can come up in our heads. 

•  For Sure one of my most favorite words has to be Taco. Taco is not just a word or food, but a life style that you live by. 
  
• Music is such a diverse word because it comes in so many forms, but the one thing that makes this word unique is that it's universal to anyone or thing.
  
   
• Pencil to me is the tool to millions of creations whether it comes to writings or a work of art. 
• In a world of many disagreements, the word OPEN assists many to see in the eyes of others. 
• I like the word Artist because there are a vast amount of different types of artists. Each one has their own unique style that differs them from others and they strive to fully express their selves. 
• Friends, Could you imagine a life without any? They are there for you through better or for worse. 
• Rogue.....I don't mean by the term of a man who is dishonest. When i think of Rogue, i think of the X-Men character Rogue. A woman who is treated differently for being abnormal, running into people who try to take advantage of her, she was lost in the world and was just looking for someone she can love. That's when she is brought in open arms to the X-Men where she is accepted for who she is. 
  
• Team...There's no i in team. 
• Liger.....Lion and Tiger mixed together! 
  
• A band to me is a group of family where you can fully express yourself while having fun.

"G" Rated Night

"G" Rated Night 

What's a better way to kick off the  weekend than spending it with great friends. Of coarse we spent the day watching the playoff games, Boys N Da Hood, and the timeless classic known as Toy Story! It was a thrill to dive in to this iconic film that's been a favorite to all of us at one point in out lives. My childhood heroes formerly  known as Buzz and Woody brought nostalgia throughout the movie not just to one, but all of us viewing it. While viewing the film, we would just burst out quotes from the film and would make remarks such as "Do you remember..." or "I never realized or noticed that..." All i have to say is that an experience such as reliving childhood favorites can't fully be summarized in writing, but in conversation with others who feel the same way and feel as admired by the film as you are..........

.p.s. my favorite scene is were Woody couldn't find his hat, only to find that his hat is being worn by his comedic shark friend.

Home Away From Home

Home Away From Home

Born in the street, die by the street, 

Oozing the green colors through  my veins

As I sought to become more than just a streak,

The most  marvelous series of events occurred, 

Dethroned as I departed, 

And leaped over the 5 stars as i returned, 

Through the millions i became immortalized,

My job has been done as it's time for me to pass the torch, 

Roman can wait for that bowling. 

As these new protagonists return the thrill to our home, 

Heists are on, races ready, 

But don't forget that cul de sac that you hold steady. 

To many this is more than just violence and entertainment. Grand Theft Auto has been an escape for many who've gotten lost in these amazing worlds. From unique characters that you grow to love to situations that just tear you apart. As a kid i remember getting San Andreas and growing up with it just like many who've experienced this timeless classic as well. To this day i cherish the nostalgia i get from picking up this timeless art . Grove Street became immortalized for it was the heart and soul of the characters and fans of this world.

Now as years have passed in both our worlds, we return to gaze at this monumental land mark that will live on as we remember it no matter what happens.
