Slow Days

For me summertime is filled with days that seem to go on and on without an end. I continuously find myself inventing new ways to entertain myself, some of which turn out to be cool hobbies. This summer has been particularly slow because A) I have no job and B) I'm living at home. But I figure this will probably be the last time ever where I can just sit around on my ass, so better make the best of it. These are some things that I have amused myself with so far:

An awesome site where you and your friends can make groups and take turns DJ-ing. Try to rack up as many DJ points as possible and drop all your favorite slaps.

Film Photography - will have pictures soon

Gardening

Studying Spanish

and of course music:

this is a track from one of my favorite skate videos of Keenan Wilson, it was in the Girl's Yeah Right video.

Gemini

Abbey went to class one day and I wandered around. I met some circus performers juggling and doing acrobatics. I don't really know if they were really from a circus or gypsy's. It's basically the same thing anyway. Watched them for about an hour until my ipod died. Then it was just 4 drunk dudes chicken fighting. Walked over to this statue and watched the water. It was so bright out I could barely stand it. I weathered the storm and melted on the steps. Oh glorious day.

Truckin'

Walt

Walt Disney is one of my biggest inspirations. Lived a limitless life spreading happiness around the world. Mr. Disney was such a magnificent human being he was awarded with; The Showman of The World Award. He is the only one to receive this honor in our history and will undoubtedly be the most deserving.

The award itself is inscribed as follows:

"In a universe of unlocking secrets, creativity, diversion and recreation become symbols of man's civilized state. To bring us to this plateau, science and religion have probed the mind and the soul. Entertainment has ministered to the emotions. Above all others in a global configuration of The Showman of the World is one man. He stands alone. His sensitivity to the visual delights is unequalled; even unchallenged. His total involvement of the family is a credo. His uncompromising wholesomeness of subject matter and presentation give a mighty industry dignity and respect and recognition. But most of all his uncanny ability to bring joy and gratification to young and old alike set him apart. He is known and loved in every land, in every tongue. He is, indeed, the first...perhaps the only...Showman of the World. He is, of course, Walt Disney."

Walt passed away two months after receiving this. What a beautiful way to go out.

4th

It's almost that time of the year again. The 4th of July... Arguably my 2nd favorite holiday. The 1st being half Christmas which was celebrated yesterday actually. Really not sure what I'm going to do. But whatever it is I will be partying. This picture was taken in a bar in Hollywood last 4th. She was getting down. We all took turns after hula-hooping. Apparently I have no rhythm for this. It's strictly for cute girls and hippies.

Filler

It's pretty true what they say. You don't know what you got till it's gone. Right before I go to bed I think about how good I had it. Like when I was having a bad day and somehow you knew to call me and make me feel better. Always listening to my dumb stories, then begging me to tell you about them again. I could lay in bed all day and tell you about the things I could barely say aloud. I took this picture on a train to San Diego last summer. The further away I got, the more I realized I was going the wrong direction.

Deny everything.
