Hakkuna Matata…

It’s about a hour and a half after I wanted to wake up this morning, but I got really good sleep last night. Which is good, cuz Bryan and I are on the road again today. Heading to San Jose for ‘Punch the Clock’s’ debut show. I’m pretty excited. These guys have been working hard from what I hear and have gone through some struggles to get the ball rolling. Hopefully this will give them some exposure. I was asked to do some art for them, but haven’t honestly sat down to draw anything out but hopefully soon I can get them some designs. It what I want to do further down the road, be able to design for bands logos, web sites, etc. So anyways, tonight should be fun though. Long trip. But thats how we roll. We will be in Woodland for maybe two hours or so, I think we are having an El Patio craving so hit us up and come hang out. 

And for those of you that haven’t heard I got the job at Dutch Brothers. And I’m stoked about it. Its a bit of a drive, but it will be worth it. Grand opening is in exactly a week and I can’t wait to bring the Dutch Love to the small town of Orland. 

But thats it for now. We need to get on the road. Have a good day. Peace. 

Ok, here is the original, and may I say, brilliant. 

But this video is off the hook. And the remix is cuh-razy. 

At the risk of sounding shallow 
Maybe trivial or trite 
Emotional or mellowed 
Well, how can I say this right? 
Guess, I’m not the kind that figures 
Life’s all rainbows and blues skies 
Still I just can’t help but notice 
I’ve got no good cause to cry 

It’s just been one of those days, one of those days 
Every glass half full, every drop lemonade 
Just one of those days, one of those days 
All my worries to bed 
And my faith wide awake 
Hey, hey, hey 
Just one of those days 
Just one of those days 

There’s a smile I can’t turn down 
For a dance across my face 
And the way I see things now 
A frown would just be out of place 
Cause I know you’re in your heaven 
Yeah, with both hands on the wheel 
And somehow this simple knowing 
Has infected how I feel 

I’m not blind to imperfections 
Still a realist by trade 
A pragmatic, pessimistic, over-thinker 
On a break

I am currently looking for either a jazz bass/bass amp combo or a decent electric that I can buy off someone or at some place. Does anyone know of anything. I have price range, and want to stick to it, but if its a sweet deal, I might be swayed to step up and spot for it. But yea, good people if you could keep an eye open for me, that would be great to let me know. 

Also, another thing I could use your help on, is work. Not like a steady job, but anything art related. I was talking to a friend yesterday and he suggested trying to get myself out and to see what happens. I agree, the worst would be that I’m back where I am at now. Prices won’t be high to start off with, because, well lets face it, I’m trying it out. If you have pictures, you, a scene, something, anything, let me know and we can talk about how you want it done. I really want to possibly become better at this because it is gonna be a big part of my career. So please let me know, if not you, then someone you know. Again, thanks for reading and being faithful to Hakkuna Matata. Peace. 

Yo, so I am trying to keep this thing updated more now that school is out. Lately, life has been pretty good, back in the hunt for a job, interview Monday, and applying. Also, school is out now, so summer is in full affect and it is going awesome. The lake, the river, the creek, the pools, barbeques; I can’t wait for the rest of summer. 

Most of you know, I have been dealing with what to do with the future coming up. Where to go, what to do, where to live. But as of right now, Chico is gonna be home for a while, I love it here. And who knows what the future will hold. I’m just keeping an open head about it and am game for anything. Where ever I feel lead I guess I could say. But for now, I’m out like a fat kid in dodgeball. Peace. 

Here it is, its one thing to call American’s as a whole lazy, maybe the same to call the world lazy, but its another to continue making life easier for the lazy bums. Think about it, automatic locks and windows, protein shakes, diets, machine operated farm equipment, computers, the internet, all things that have made life easier for man-kind. 

As I was leaving the gym tonight, a friend and I had this thought when we saw a commercial; if people keep complaining that things were “better back then” then why not make some people work for what they want and make em earn it. I may be beating around the bush, but does it at least make sense? This was what we saw an add for:

Is it really to hard to slice up your own lime and put it in yourself? Come on people, its getting out of hand. 

Well, its late in the a.m. but I’m off to catch some z’s. Peace. 

So as of late, I have been finishing school and starting summer, and so far, summer seems to be starting off just fine. I see the only thing holding us back from to much fun would be if the lake was dried up… But whatever, times are good. 

Do you sometimes think that school was created just for there to be something for people to do in between and during the fall/winter parts of the year? I believe so. I learn more out of school than in. That may be a problem. I’m checking in to it. 

I had an epiphany last night while dead lifting for my shoulders. Why does water seem to go in your nose easier sometimes when you swim on your back, but not when your swimming on your stomach, and never in your ears? Something to think about, you never dive in and plug your ears, and as of when I turned like 7, haven’t plugged my nose either. Did my nose suddenly just not take in 7 cups or water when I dove in?

Now I’m tired when I write this, so forgive me if I go to fast… (quote it?)

One more for the road, I’m thinking of using these, so don’t steal them: ”Better think of nothing, then are we anything? Is it better to be better than to be anything?” Yea? Peace. 

So the yesterday wasn’t the greatest day. 

These last couple of days before the semester are tough to stay focused. 

I have been writing many songs. 

Trying to get some work done so I can have some sort of portfolio. 

I might be moving to San Fransisco. 

I am planning a trip to Fort Bragg. If your down, let me know.

Also, if you know of any jobs, let me know. 

I want a milkshake right now. 

I got three hours of sleep last night. 

Its 100 degrees outside today. 

How are you?
