I want to take you here...

You and I

2010-03-08T12:26:00.000-08:00

I remember when we first met I told you that I felt like you're the one I've been waiting for.

I don't want to jump into any conclusions but time flies by when I'm with you.

Every hour feels like a second. Every day feels like an hour. You're trouble.

Fool's Gold

2010-02-15T15:18:00.001-08:00

I was a fool to think that you were gold.

I was a fool drowning in your clandestine veil.

I was a fool for not reasoning with logic and rationale.

I was a fool for not following my intuition and gut feeling.

I am not a fool for following my heart which is no longer in your possession.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. Play on playa, I ain't mad atcha.

I wish you the best and lay our crossed paths to rest.

I give thanks that this didn't drag on to a shattered heart.

May you find love, peace, and joy within yourself before you seek it in others.

It already exists within you.

Name Schools v. No Name Schools

2009-12-02T15:24:00.000-08:00

What's in a name? Nike or British Knights? Gucci or Old Navy? Ferrari or Kia? Hilton or Motel 6? Golden Gate University or ...? When I found out that I would be attending GGU law school by default (I didn't get into my other 2 choices) I immediately started making plans to transfer simply because GGU isn't as reputable as other law schools in the area. Working as a technical recruiter for the last 2.5 years I've realized how important names really are. I would present resumes to hiring managers and the first thing they would look at is which school the applicant graduated from. For one of my employers it didn't even matter if the applicant had 15 years of experience under their belt, if they graduated from Cal State Hayward they didn't stand a chance. On the other hand if the applicant graduated from MIT they would roll out the red carpet and pop the champagne bottles. I had a very hard time with this from a moral stand point. Who's to say that the woman who graduated from San Francisco State isn't as smart or as capable as the man who graduated from Stanford? Now there were a few hires I made where the applicants pedigree wasn't as distinguished as the next guy, and in these instances I always found myself rooting for the underdog. The only thing was that they would have to absolutely knock it out of the ball park during their interviews, while the MIT grad could make a bunt single and still be the one with offer packet. I'm not trying to say that people who graduated from the Stanford's and MIT's don't deserve the good jobs, the good money, or the good life, after all they probably worked really hard throughout their academic career and are now finally being rewarded for all their efforts. I just don't think it should be handed to them on a silver platter. Level out the playing field. Give the people who graduated from the no name schools a chance. If Rocky taught you one thing in life it should have been to never discount the underdog.

I'm wrapping up my first semester at GGU and I've had an incredible experience. The professors are great, the curriculum is challenging, I've made some really great friends, and I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. Now I know transferring isn't guaranteed by any means, but if I get the opportunity to enroll in a "name" school I honestly wouldn't want to, but then it always comes back to the name. Everyone always roots for the underdog but no one ever wants to be one. I guess only time will tell.

Quick Update

2009-08-25T15:02:00.000-07:00

I'm going to type as much as I can in 5 minutes. I've started law school. So far I love it. It's challenging due to the fact that I have terrible study habits, but the good news is that I am completely engrossed by the material and engaged in class. Now if I can just stop going to bed at 2 am watching Jumong and focus more time on my studies I'll be golden.

When I graduate I want to start off by working in the public sector and hopefully make a positive impact on my community and society in general. So far I've looked into some API organizations that have legal counsel positions where I could represent underprivileged families, minorities and hiv/AIDS victims in the court of law. Even though its three years down the road I'm excited about the opportunities that will open up once I receive my JD and pass the bar.

Summer is almost over and sadly I had no summer fling. Come to think of it I haven't had any type of romance in my life since last year. I suppose it's for the best but I miss being in a "you miss that loving feeling" (cue the music) state of mind.

Europe...

2009-05-07T00:15:00.001-07:00

It's 12am, Thursday May 7, 2009 and I'm packing for Europe . There's a cool pacific breeze coming through my opened window as I take a drag from my cigarette resting on my lips. Europe. In less than 30 hours I will be on a plane heading to Rome followed by Sienna, Florence, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and finally London. I have no idea what to expect. My so called plans are resting in the text of Rick Steve's travel guides. This is what life should always feel like. Anticipation, excitement, romance, beauty, adventure, mystery, curiosity, imagination, possibilities, dreams, faith, hope and love. Corrina Repp is my new audio bliss. She is the calm before the storm. I feel alive.

I'll believe in anything if you believe in anything...

Give me your eyes

Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood
Your bones
Your voice
and your ghost

We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

but I'll believe in anything
and you'll believe in anything
said I'll believe in anything
and you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
said nobody knows you
and nobody gives a damn

and I could take another hit for you
and I could take away your trips from you
and I could take away the salt from your eyes
and take away the spitting salt in you
and I could give you my apologies
by handing over my neologies
and I could take away the shaking knees
and I could give you all the olive trees
oh look at the trees and look at my face and look at a place far away from here

Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood
Your bones
Your voice
and your ghost

We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Fight the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves

but I'll believe in anything
and you'll believe in anything

If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the water
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
and nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
and nobody gives a damn either way
About your blood
your bones
your voice
and ghost
because nobody knows you
and nobody gives a damn either way

and now I'll believe in anything...

Time to wake up...

2009-02-04T13:03:00.000-08:00

I've been living in SF for a month. My life long dream of living in the city has finally come to fruition and yet I find myself already asking "what next?". I haven't even explored all the nooks and crannies of my neighborhood yes but I guess that's just my personality type...I'm always looking for the next thrill, the next great adventure, and the next chapter in my life.

Living alone has been interesting. There was definitely an adjustment period but I'm getting more and more used to it everyday. The first week I spent just nesting my place up. Once I finished I found myself twiddling my thumbs. I always romanticized the idea of living in the city, exploring cafes, restaurants, museums, galleries, parks, beaches, lounges and bars. The mystery of meeting new people and venturing to uncharted territories. The idea of having my OWN place where I can freely roam naked if I so choose and experiment with my culinary endeavors. I always imagined it would be great flying solo but so far I haven't really managed to get off the ground. I wake up everyday at 6am, shower, ride my bike to the cal train by 7am, get off at my stop by 7:40, cruise in the office by 8am, work till about 5 or sometimes 6, hop on the train, ride home by 6 or 7 respectively, cook/go out to eat/work out, spend some down time lounging/watching tv/tinkering with music and then shower and hit the sac by 10-11. Monday through Friday that's my life in a nut shell. The weekend is my only time I have to explore SF but it's also my only time to unwind at home. If the weather permits this weekend I am determined to ride my bike through the Mission and see what it's all about.

I've been riding my bike a lot which has been the highlight of SF so far. Right when I exit my apartment I get to strap on my helmet, lock in my bike and jet downhill passing cars, trucks and buses surround by the ancient towering buildings of Frisco. It's a 10 minute adrenaline rush I get every morning to kick start my day. My cup of coffee.

I've been on a creative hiatus for way too long. It is truly senseless to be this uncreative. Time to wake up and go back to doing what I love doing most. 2 tracks will be up and recorded by the end of the month. Photos with my new camera will be posted. They both may not be pretty to the ear or eye but they will be up.

Life is precious

2008-10-28T23:26:00.000-07:00

I finished reading "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. It's a dark and despairing narrative on human life and existence. On a side note it also demonstrates the flaws in our judicial system (even though the book takes place prior to WWII in France - I'm assuming early 1930's). Basically the protagonist, Meursault, is an atheist who has no beliefs or emotional attachment to anything. He kills a man due to an unfortunate series of events and is sentenced to the death penalty. "Que sara sara" eloquently sums up his philosophy on life all the way to his execution. At the end of the book a priest tries to convert the man to Christianity but to no avail. Shortly after Meresault concludes that the only freedom and reality in this world is death and then he is executed. It was a pretty captivating read once you get past the first 4-5 chapters of the book and so long as you don't mind the depressing undertone.

I picked up my parents from the airport tonight at 10:30pm. They were on vacation in Canada for the last 5 days. On our way home we got stuck in heavy traffic because of a fatal motorcycle accident. When we passed by the scene I could see the cops measuring the point of the crash to where the bike had finally come to a stop. I'd say it was at least 50 yards. All that was left was a demolished bike and a broken helmet. For some reason this scene made me think of Meursault. I sincerely hope that the biker new Christ and didn't live a life believing that things are simply because they are. I pray that the biker's family takes comfort in the Lord. I've been reminded that the only hope in this life and human existence is Christ. Life is so precious...we really take it for granted.

Economic crisis

2008-10-27T16:52:00.000-07:00

The dow dropped another 2.42%. People are getting laid off, hiring is coming to a halt, and people aren't spending their money which is only making matters worse. I on the other hand am doing my part to contribute to the economy. Say hello to my new pony - Moby...

...Okay. So it's a Japanese made bike but this economic crisis has gone global. The way I see it I helped the Japanese economy, helped our economy (I paid with Paypal who gets a transaction % share), and I also plan on buying the rest of the components from US dealers...so keep your pants on =p

I rode my horse to work today for the first time. It was a very pleasant experience. I woke up at 7:00. Left my house at 7:45 and got to the cal train station at 8:05. My train arrived at 8:27 and I hit my destination at 9:02. I got into work at 9:20. It was a nice ride. The air was crisp and the fog was just clearing. There is a strange peace I find sitting in a train watching the less visited parts of the bay pass by my window. Lets see if I can do this 2-3 days a week.

My manager has been spending every Monday for the last month in 8 hour meetings discussing company budget cuts and what not. Lots of rumors have been developing as a result of these meetings. I hope I don't lose my job in the coming days, but if I do my friend Ryan eased my fears by telling me, and I quote "Well for what its worth unemployment checks are ~1800/month". Cool beans.

Crazy weekend in LA. I forgot how much fun it is just to be in an environment where the ratio between girls and guys are on par. Man Jose how I loath you.

I can't believe its already Mid October. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - all just around the corner. I've had a lot of time to myself lately which has been kind of nice, but it also made me realize how monotonous my life has become. I wake up at 7am, try to do qt, get ready for work, leave my house by 8, get in the office at 9, work till 5:30, get home by 6:30 and then spend the rest of my nights either playing guitar, softball, video games or watching television. This time last year I was solely dedicated to making music and pursuing a dream that's sadly faded away. What drives a person to relentlessly pursue a dream? More importantly what causes the majority of us to stop dreaming and settle for less?

disinfect my discontent disconnected from the one so distant
dialing digits to defend the love the hater disses
dreaming of the day we meet in between the stairwell
smoking cigarettes lost in thought kissing under stars
you in front me behind
hold my hand your hand in mine
wrapped around my arms
and forget the world we'll leave behind before we sound the bells
and sail the seas in our dreams as we climb our stairwell

Scatterbrain Session 1

2008-07-31T00:08:00.001-07:00

your smile signals shock waves that shiver down my spine and leaves me breathless
hopelessly in love, loving that I'm hopeless when it comes to loving you
cuz you are...and i am...and we should...but we can't...but we will...someday.
someday we will wakeup in the morning together making me the wealthiest man alive solely because I'm waking up with you...souls entwined...hearts beating as one
cuz you're the one and only and only one of us won't do because you're my better half...one day we'll step outside to the bustling streets of cable cars, street hustlers, same sexed lovers, corporate slaves and riders alike...but most importantly we'll step inside to a place where we could both call
"home".

LA is cool only because you live here...

I was reading through some old stuff and came across this...

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz,
the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read this straight through...and you will get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey
through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you somethin worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Now was that was a little Easier?
The lesson:

The people who make a difference in
your life are not the ones with
the most credentials, the most money, or
the most awards.

They are the ones that care.

...very refreshing.
"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schultz)

Just a small sample of a perfect day...

Vegas 2008. What madness are we going to embark upon this year?

Will Phillip make $20 dollars turn into $1500 again only to loose it all in a span of 10 minutes?

Will some of us end up spontaneously hoping in a limo just because the door is open and head to the club like rock stars again?

Will lady luck be on my side once more and pay for all my expenses?

Will we dish out another $200 bucks for a deep tissue massage at the Venetian? Or dish another $200 each for bottle service so we can pretend to holla at the ladies and get them drunk at our table even though it ends up just us guys getting drunk?

Spring Time

2008-03-25T14:38:00.000-07:00

What is about spring that makes me want to be grotesquely romantic? I want to surprise someone special at work with chocolates and an illustrated love letter. Invite them over for a home made candle lit dinner with their favorite dessert and chick flick. I want that love sick gut wrenching feeling in your stomach. Where your heart beats louder than a lions roar. Where you get all giddy and excited just by being in their presence. Where you try to play it cool even though your about to loose control of your bladder. Where you talk to them and you just can't stop smiling, even if it is only on AIM. Maybe its the warm weather, the flowers in bloom, the butterflies dancing, or songs like "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes...so freakn good, althought I also really like Soft Cell's version as well.

Baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself

I've got this yearning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad

You came into my heart
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee

Now that I surrender
So helplessly
You now wanna leave
Ooh, you wanna leave me

Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no more

Ooh, baby
Baby, baby
Where did our love go
And all your promisses
Of a love forever more

I've got this yearning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad

Before you won my heart
You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind
Baby, baby, ooh baby

Baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself

Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?

Well I'd like to think I'm the mess you'd wear with pride
like some empty dress on the bed you've layed out for tonight

maybe I'll tell you sometime
sometime
sometime
and you
were right
right
you were right

outside
by your doorstep
in a worn out
suit and tie
I'll wait
for you to come down
where you'll find me
where we'll shine

I got to the barn because I like the - Band of Horses

Letters for you

2007-11-12T12:51:00.000-08:00

Hey. I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was alright. I wish I could have spent it with you as we lull the night away in my living room by the fireplace lying on the couch with you nestled by my side. We could watch the fireflies paint the night sky's canvass or you could bury your face in my chest just because you can. We haven't had a chance to talk all weekend. Phone tag can be really frustrating. Long distance can be really frustrating. Not being with you is frustrating. But loving you is easy because your beautiful.
