BURNT

Busy busy busy! What else i can say? Basically my life consist of work at the moment. Even though Von and I are doing things on a regular basis (i.e. concerts at the park, saw Feist and Damien Rice, going to see Les Mis, and Fall for Dance) fun activities. But damn it I am so burnt out! I am so brain dead I can't even think straight. Literally there are so many things I want to do when I go home, but just getting home it's been a trip itself, and seriously don't want to bother with anything.

I don't recall when was the last time I felt so exhausted inside out. Maybe when I was in school? Trying to juggle with my supervisor job at Mason St (school's equipment checkout) and dealing with stupid kids that keep breaking equipment on a regular basis, and find time traveling around throughout California, to photograph some nice projects for class. I guess same thing here, trying to balance work and my own shit. From experience and previous example I can manage fine with work but never my own personal things.

My family often says that whoever hire me is super lucky, because I am more concern about their work and totally take it as my own. My motto is "Other people will have priority over me." As if one day, if myself and my job fell into the water, I will save my job first. (Bad example, but you know what I mean). Totally not bragging about how responsible I am, but shit man! I gotta think what the hell I want to do. But what exactly I want to do? Too many things! But I guess first step is a short vacation and get the hell out of the city. Seriously been thinking about go camping. My initial thought was September, but hello?! It's September already, and doesn't look like I can get two days off at this point. Shall we try again in October before it gets too cold? If not, it'll be two months before the next holiday hits. And I better keep my fingers crossed that I don't have to work through it.

HAPPIER NOTE

Damien Rice fuckin' ROCK! The concert was so damn cool and it sound nothing like his CDs. Seriously this is the reason why you would want to go see a concert! Hearing something completely different from what you usually hear in a CD! The different arrangement and ways to perform the song. The different elements from the crowds that help produce and enhance how you play! The instant reaction of playing a B flat instead of a C chord to throw people off but still sound great! The lighting, the drums, the cello, the guitar, and the voice! It's been seriously awhile since I saw a concert that made me have goosebumps all over throughout the show. It was so exciting that I can't believe I was actually experiencing it. (I think I just made myself sound like a music geek, but shit who cares!) Anyway, how I wish that my brain has an internal hard drive where I can record the sound and sight that night. Seriously, if I do have that feature, you know that's one concert I'll be repeating it constantly!
