Greg Laswell - Comes and Goes (In Waves)
Not as flashy.
Ahmet, my other cousin, has been teaching me to play the drums. I have to say that I got the hang of it pretty quickly. Nevertheless, most of the beats I’ve been playing are simple rock beats. So, the other day I pressured him into showing me some other things. We went online and looked things up, but for some reason I didn’t like the things we found. They didn’t seem fun enough...
No wonder people shop.
My cousins and I have been spending the past couple of days by going to malls. That’s pretty much all you can do here. Even though we are somewhat close to the city of St. Louis, I think we are still considered to be in the suburbs. Anyways, I think I have been to at least four different malls now. Each one more boring than the other. When there are nothing more than shopping malls around,...
The Honey Trees - To Be With You
I have the sniffles.
Looks like my body was holding out until after finals. It’s not too bad though. It started on Tuesday, but by tomorrow I’ll be back to normal because I started taking medications the moment I felt the symptoms.
Everywhere is so green here. It’s much more different than Southern California. It’s not like the man-built grass hills or palm trees of San Diego. It’s really...
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You
One second at a time.
You know what I hate the most at movies? No, it’s not the people who talk, since I talk too sometimes, or the people who fidget with their phone, even though I have been with several people who don’t mind texting during movies—by the way, it is kind of annoying. It’s when I spill popcorn on myself. It’s annoying because they seem to disappear. I look down and the popcorn are nowhere to be seen. I...
Trying to catch your flight.
Everyone seems to be anxiously waiting for this flight to end. It is currently 8:15PM PST. My previous flight departed half-an-hour late and then we had to wait in the air for another half-hour due to thunder-storms and airport traffic. It finally landed at 9:15PM CT, the time which my current flight was supposed to depart at, when it was actually supposed to land around 8:20PM CT. As a result, I...
35,000 feet above ground.
Flying above the clouds, and it is currently 4:26PM PST. I am on Delta flight 1423 going to Minneapolis. From there, I will take a connection flight to St. Louis, the home of the Cardinals. The plane arrived a bit late, and it took a bit more than usual to depart as well. There were some people with seat complications and both parties had some trouble speaking English so it was kind of an awkward...
When I was your age...
That’s how my dad started his sentence today. We discussed what I was planning on doing on Saturday after the graduation ceremony and it upset him a lot. I guess he had some other plans for me on his mind (like, working in a cubicle from 8 am to 6 pm). Anyways, it is a lot to take in all at once so I don’t really blame him for getting all angry and almost disowning me. Also, add...
