Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!
I hate this day.
You know why? Yesterday, I was just wondering if there were any good gigs happening in the Bay Area. So I set my local area on yahoo and checked out the events. I just found out that Youtube is going live this Saturday.
So I checked the site and there it is.
I had to kick myself in the nuts, because I visit my youtube page everyday. Not that I watch any videos. I’m just curious if any of my subscriptions have new stuff. I didn’t bother to check on what’s new on the youtube world.
If you’re like me who’s bored most of the time. Looking for some new venture where you can be anonymous and well know at the same time, you would be disappointed too if you didn’t sign up (like me) for this event. It’s invitation only and those who signed up, got two tickets.
You would be too if you know these artists whose confirmed attendance:
Soulja Boy
Will.I.Am
Fred
Katy Perry
Mythbusters (I so want to meet Adam, Jamie and especially Kari)
Esmee Denters
Akon
Joe Satriani
Will it blend
Jon M Chu
Katers17 (for her alone, makes me wanna crash that party)
William Sledd
Chad Vader
Julia Nunes
Lisa Lavie
Mike Relm
Tay Zonday
Funtwo
Beardyman
Sick Puppies
Bo Burnham
Hammer
Michael Buckley
Brandon Hardesty
Planet B-Boy
The Spinto Band
Jason Latimer
Lisanova
Juan Mann

Taking time to say thanks.
I just want to say thanks to all that accepted my request to add as online buddy. I’m pretty new to Multiply and there’s not much content yet on my page. Though there will be soon.
As a thank you, I’ve recorded a couple of songs which I hope ya’ll enjoy. I’m only using my headset microphone along with my trusted Ovation guitar and my Casio drum machine.
I’m a big James Morrison fan, and I’m all about his genre. So I might do some songs along those lines.
I also compose original songs, which has yet to get time to be recorded.
To all my new buddies, I enjoy your photography and your blogs. They are very refreshing.
Helps me keep sane during these times.
To all the wonderful photographers, keep on doing it. I love photographs, especially the ones taken in the
As for the bloggers. Kudos 1000% to all.
Again, thanks and have a great day!!!

Blog, rant, whats' the difference....?
My friend Marco told me that its Ray’s birthday and that were gonna go bowling. I drove all the way to
By what’s happening in the market these days, I can’t help it, but to get stressed.
I’m caught right in the smack of it.
I was actually looking for a way out, 4 years ago, but for some reason, I got sucked back into it and here I am with a chunk of problems in my back. It’s giving me a lot of stress lately and it’s not funny anymore.
I was at home early that day. Surprisingly, traffic was pretty friendly to me. I got home in time to play with my niece. She’s about 18 months old, and she’s feisty and sweet. She likes hanging out in my bedroom because she loves electronics. I would let her play with my PDA, phone, TV remote (which she knows how to operate), and my bongo (she would hit that thing like she knows how to play it, so cute). I tell you, she could be a technopath or she'd be a genius with electronics when she grows up.
I know her brother is very smart and is also advanced for his age. I think my sister just bred the next step in human evolution (either that, or I've just finished watching X-men.)
I always switch on to the Disney channel, because she likes Hannah Montana. I would pick up my guitar and play something funky. She would dance (by dance, I mean jump) and clap and giggle.
I usually call her mom just so she’ll bring us her milk or some snacks. She loves graham crackers and a banana.
My nephew on the other hand, he hates banana’s, but loves chicken. They’re both so adorable.
Anyway, as I was enjoying the company, and being a kid once again, I got a text that we were to go bowling. With no hesitation, I said, what time?
I left right away, but didn’t to straight to
The d90 would have to wait a little while. I still have my Pentax with me. Plus it’s a manual camera (which I prefer).
Anyway, Marco, Ray, Nino and I started slamming those pins. We had a good game, but everyone got tired pretty fast. Marvin came with Rachel, but our game was already shot to hell. I got a 165 game though (not that good, but I think its good enough).
We had the itch to go to another club, which looked pretty good. An acquaintance of ours is playing that night, and the place is packed. They were doing cover songs, which they are doing a good job. There were not seats, so we opted to leave.
Marco wanted to drive my car and did a couple spins around the block. I think, I got him to think about getting a bimmer, he he.
Anyway, it was a pretty lame drive back to my apartment. I was hungry because all I had was a handful of chili cheese fries and a piece of buffalo wing.
This was just Friday night. Saturday we uneventful. I really wanted to jam with them, but the roads are too slippery to drive.
They do call me ‘Intro boy’ now, because I did get to jam with them a little bit, Friday night, and all I could remember with the stuff that I composed where the intro’s. I suck, he he he.
So today, I’m at work again, and I’m still stressed.
I want to get rid of this, whatever it takes.
I think I’ll run a couple miles tonight. Squeeze out that lactic acid.
I’m having a headache.
I need some rock and roll.
Music please……

Fish list.....
Lists are important. Even if you just made a list at the top of your head, it’s still a list. Without it, you wouldn’t know what you would buy when you go to the market, or what you wanted to have, or even what you need (personal stuff, like toilet paper, floss, etc…).
So here’s mine and hopefully, I can find ways to get more savvy saving money so I can get them. ASAP.
Nikon D90
– I want the whole shebang. 18-105 VR lens, 70-300mm lens, 50mm lens, wide angle lens, telephoto lens, filter kit, 16 gig card, SD card reader, rapid charger, flash, SLR carrying case, tripod, table tripod, screen protectors, and lens cleaning kit. Of course, the package is also fully packed.
DXG 569V
- High Definition Mini Digital Camcorder. This is a very handy gadget. It’s 4 in 1. It’s a HD camcorder, mp3 player, 5 megapixel camera, and a voice recorder.
Gibson Hummingbird
- It’s all acoustic guitar (not acoustic electic).
Fallout 3
- I only play when my favorite games intrigue me. This one, definitely was the one to wait for.
Full tune-up on my car.
- I’ve only done some minor tune-ups on it and its aching for that big one.
Video Editing Software as well as Recording Software
Winter Clothes
- definitely a scarf and a beanie.
- a jacket would be nice
disclaimer: I am buying all of these. I wish I could buy them right now, but its just the wrong timing. So its called a fish list, because, I'm fishing if someone knows a bargain, he he.
Looking for that umph!!!!
Another Friday, means its party time.
I’m too tired. My week has been an inferno. It felt like I was a contestant on Fear Factor (yeah, remember that show?), and I was about to eat those worms….and then I realized, the worms were cooked, adobo style (ha!!!). Then after I eat the worms, they throw me to an island ala Survivor, then I have to escape that island and go to
All I can think of is go see a friends gig and hang out with them backstage. Either that or I could jam with my other group of friends and just sing my heart out for hours on end.
I really have nothing fun to write about. I can’t write about my job, or otherwise…..
I guess I just need breakfast.
Buttery pancakes sounds good.
Better yet, buttery, blueberry pancakes.
Oh yeah!!!!
