"Close my eyes...just for tonight...the sun still sleeps...and when she wakes...youll be a memory"
Stressful...Busy...Good times...and bad times
Thats pretty much been my life the last few months. so much has happend. not enough time to tell all.
Schools really awesome....loving it....school work part is a bitch of course...but everything else is cool. Schedule is too extensive, but gotta tough it out as usual. Made some new friends and still have some old ones. Music part of school is fantastic. Having so much fun. Learning to read music and playing new instruments. Ive got some some percussion performances coming up. Gonna be nervous to the max.
Robert, Terrance, Edgar, and I have started a new band together. Im really liking the chemistry we have, little mal-aspects of course, but nothing we cant handle. Ill hit u guys up when we play n stuff
September 24, 2004- I participated in the Orange county Race for the cure, with Team Thrice/SSE (The Syrentha Savio Endowment). that was really really cool. Not only did i get to meet the members of one of the best live bands ever to exist, i got to contribute to a great cause, meet some cancer survivors, humanitarians and other beautiful, compassionate, and caring human beings. to top of that awesome day, i got to see the third best show of my life, behind the incubus and hollywood(thursday/thrice/coheed)show. 21 radical songs, just for me and 300 0ther peeps at chain reaction
September 30th, 2004- one of the happiest days of my life. Typical working saturday, woke up early to clean. then head over to work. Not a normal day at work...ohhhhhhhhh noooo...far from normal!! This was the game where if the dodgers won, they would go to the playoffs for the first time in 8 years. I spent the first 2 hours up in reserve level. then outta nowhere the sent me to the field level. Just when i thought things couldnt get any better, with the dodgers losing 3-0 to our rival Giants, the captain told me to move to the dugout seats right behind homeplate to work the dodger's owner, Frank McCourt's aisle. I was in awe the whole time. At that moment i was getting paid to watch my favorite team from the best possible location in the Stadium. Around the 8th inning, the dodgers were still losing, and i had to keep my eye on the crowd. But then...as i had my backed turned to my look at the crowd, some one called for my attention. it was Frank fuckin McCourt. He told congratulated me on an above-average job the time i was workin his section. i was freakin happy as hell. We talked for a bit, he asked about me and my job. I told him i loved workin and how much i love the best team in the world. he congratulated me on a job well done, and keep it up. it was great. Then the bottom of the ninth comes. Dodgers losing 3 to nothing still. then what happens??? a miracle!!!! dodgers tie the game. Im a nervous wreck. Shaking, yelling, cheering, all of the above. then!!!! Steve finely hits a grand slam, wins another come-from-behind victory, and clinches a playoff birth, and becomes Champions of the National League West!!!!!!!! It was one of the most beautiful moments in my life.!! I cried cuz i automatically thought of my nana and how she woulda loved it. I wasnt alone. It turns out my whole family cried at home as well. Jubilant atmosphere filled the stadium. Fans jumping, crying, cheering...dodgers jumping, crying, yelling,champagne bursting, and all that good stuff. Great great day.
on a final note, me, ozzy, brandon, daniel and andy are playing good ol music at the St. Alphonsus fiesta this friday around 8 i think. 7 at the earliest. please please come and have a great time. for more info, just call me or comment.
Goodnight my loved ones
