Spring Break

My readers! My will you be sick of justice by the end of the month!
I must say, spring break was rather enjoyable and busy for me. I was doing something everyday. The beach was a highlight, as i got a niceee tan, that along with my new skinny body puts me in perfect super v shape (which i bought my first one btw and i love it) Hanging out with old friends was a plus, not being able to eat solid foods, not cool, but juice it up like crazyyy.
Sorry its been a weeeeeek since my last post, i was just enjoying break and keeping busy with everything.
Apparently i have a rather big following in norcal. I've received a few emails from Frisco, and a few from Fresno area? i guess. Strange, thanks for reading, i'm going to try and post more when i have the chance, it just takes a lot of time to go through all the remixes i get, jesus, they don't stop.
Okay, since we are less then a month away from coachella (omg!) i'm going to do my best to post only coachella music, and although a lot of you have grown to love my acoustic and slow stuff i post, i must return to my first love, electronic. Meaning justice remixes, datarock remixes, the teenagers remixes, and random ass hot chip stuff. But that also means i may throw an occasional death cab cover or remix in there...and who knows, maybe even a jack johnson song!!
umm no...i hate you jj...i'm glad he ended up coming in 3rd for my survey thing, i would've burned my music collection if he won.
btw speaking of death cab, i can't explain how horrible the first few songs i've heard from the new album are. The first single makes me feel like i'm listening to fallout boy or something, really not good :<>
okay like i said i'm going to try and post just coachella music, but in the time i started writing this and now, i received some beautiful electronic and even acoustic stuff which in part is affiliated to a lot of coachella music so i'll post some of that this month too. But this morning, geez its late/early? Its 4:30 now, eek... i'm posting two great coachella acts with remixes, chromeo, with its amazingggg hit bonafied lovin, and then calvin harris, and his major hit merrymaking at my place. Both really good, and different.
AHH i was enjoying being out of school...
23 units on just tues/thurs is pretty good though i must say...
goodnight lovelies.

Happy Easter

okay i'm sick as hell, so i'll make this one somewhat quick. Well first, Happy Easter! well, yesterday. I hope it went well for everyone, mine was great. In my last post, i kind of over-reacted. I didn't mean to offend the people that i mentioned, all i did was speak the truth. Yes, i will end this blog, but i don't know when yet. When i feel the time is right...
I encourage all of you to still read, i may not post that often, but when i speak, i speak from the heart. And since i don't have myspace or facebook, this and email is the only way to keep in touch with me. I deleted nearly every number out of my phone, i only have a few left, and i couldn't be happier.
I find it interesting, because although i've lost over 25 lbs, i look at myself, and i feel i look the same. But nearly every person that came over for Easter commented on how much weight i lost. Interesting. And although i can barely breathe and my throat is killing me, i still ran 4 miles and did a ton of sit ups and weights tonight.
I got my grades, and they are better then most grades i got in high school, haha. Sweet, i guess right now i am just dedicated in everything i am doing.
Omg the movie "Into the Wild," is sooooooo slow. I'm soooo bored!
I feel kind of bad because i feel all my Easter candy is going to waste. My family, being amazing, of course still gives the kid's Easter baskets. So mine is filled with money and candy. The thing is, i don't eat candy! I feel all of those wonderful cadbury cream eggs, reeses eggs, and peeps are all going to waste. Come take some if you eat that stuff! Now if my basket was full of sour patch kids, i must say that is my my guilty pleasure!
Okay the first song i am posting tonight i found thanks to my friend christopher. Its a really fun acoustic version of personally my least favorite justice song, D.A.N.C.E. But it is their major hit! I think all of you will enjoy. ahh one month and i will be staring at that justice cross with my shirt off going crazy at coachella!! And the other is an okay cover of another great coachella band, hot chip, and their dancefloor hit, "over and over" but acoustic, and by great up and coming british band, the miserable rich.
woohoo, spring break, too bad i have to get up at 6 tomorrow morning...goodnight.

New Life

so i've been thinking about this for awhile....so i made my blog in early january, back when i still talked to a few people that i now don't talk to. its not that i don't like them anymore necessarily, but i've moved on and i trusted them, and they left me in the dust. So they know i have this blog, and i know they still read it, but why should i have any contact with them anymore at all? They are the ones that screwed me over, why should they know about my life, why should they download my music and then make a cd and play it for their bf/gf and say they found the music. Why? I am not talking specifically about two people, there are a couple more, and i have forgiven those who hurt me months ago, because i am a good person, unlike you. You act like you are living a life that you always wanted, but in actuality you are trying to do things that make you feel good about losing me as a friend, but its all bullshit. Honestly i just laugh when i hear about all of this. The fact that we all could have had at least a social relationship, but you all so willingly end it because you try to fill the void in your lives...hahahaha Let me tell you, your void will never be filled. i am not saying i am that person to do that, as i am not, but no person will. You act that the person you are with will keep you happy...Well you know what, i wish you the best of luck but when both of those relationships end, i'm going to laugh, because the closest friend you had won't be there, but nonetheless, good luck! seriously, if either of those relationships work, (i'm not talking about you couple others) then i would love to go to the wedding! What's meant to be, is meant to be, but the idea that i lost who i considered to be one of the best men at my wedding, hurts.
Btw i believe i am owed 20 dollars, and some cd's that were borrowed. Those can be returned to my REAL best friend. You know who you are... miss you bro! But sorry, you fucked me royally...good luck with everything in the future.
So yes, i will be ending this blog in the next few weeks. i'm not sure when, i need to think of a new website name, and get the emails of all of my regular readers so i can give them the new address. maybe i'll wait longer to get rid of it, but say goodbye to justice will say goodbye someday soon.
i encourage you to still read till that final day, because maybe i will never see you again eh?

today was a good day, good friday so i of course went to mass, but at st. matthew's, that was weird, i haven't been there in years, but i will be spending a lot of time there in the next few months, and a lot during the summer.
Shopping, sushi, and then the bank job. Goooooooood movie, i def recommend it, really really good british heist thriller.
Tomorrow night will be spent cooking and cleaning like crazy, as i can now actually make food haha. As sunday will of course have 347 people at my house, hahaha.
okay i have to get up sooooo early tomorrow, so i'll call it a night. but with the topic tonight, i think i'll post two very good covers of the perfect joy division song "love will tear us apart." Both are sooo different, one is of the great jose gonzalez and the other is somewhat electronic. Enjoy, and don't forget to give me credit for giving it to you. haha. thanks.

Jose Gonzalez - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division Cover)

It's Been A Long Time Since I've Seen You Smile...

see the link to this beautiful song, below. Amazing, he just turned 21! I try to imitate his voice when i'm in the shower (ohh) or in the car and its just impossible. He's all i've listened to lately, him and vampire weekend...Amazing he wrote "The Flying Club Cup," while traveling Europe, Nantes is a city in France in which he fell in love with. He's so original, and how he can create such great music with trash cans! fascinates me haha.
so i had my 3 finals yesterday and i'm pretty sure aced them all...now i have 1 paper due wed, and thats it. and i got like $150 bucks for my books that i sold back! sweet.
if i have to hear anything about french politics or british politics or anything on iran, i swear someone is going to get shanked...you know, its a verb, to shank.
any day now i should know about school...eek.
kill bill = best movie everrr.
i'm so excited, me and the bwanka are doing a garage band tutorial next week...sweeeeet. finally i'll know how to actually do stuff on it after so many wasted hours of trying to figure it out haha...
anyways...the other song i'm posting is just another example of a great magnetic fields song, sorry if you are sick of them, but this one is just fun...
happy official spring everyone...i already miss winter :(

Beirut - Nantes
The Magnetic Fields - I Think I Need A New Heart

One More Day

so i have one more day, and i will finally be on spring break. Actually, i shouldn't say finally, because honestly this quarter went by sooooo fast, its crazyyyy. So next quarter could mark the end of my time at cal poly, well at least thats what i'm hoping for...crazy about the crap going on at my school, like the stabbing and stuff, and then the attempted assault, but the weird thing is, i was in the building at the time of the stabbing, and i was still at school, like directly next to the assault at that exact time, walking back to my car. Crazy!
Its nice to have a steady income, and watching my account go up and up.
You know whats weird is i only bought 1 pair of shoes last year. one. And one i bought for 20 bucks but i don't count that. Crazy huh? i used to buy a tonnnn of shoes, but all i bought was 1 pair of jack purcell's. So now i just bought a sweeeeet pair of creative recs, and i like them so much i'm buying moreeee.
Everyone should see "dan in real life" to tell you the truth a few months ago, i don't know if i would've liked the movie, same thing with juno, i didn't like it as much when i saw it. but now since i'm single and i see these relationships, i feel i would loveee it if i saw it again! kind of sad i love watching romantic comedies by myself haha, but i do! oh netflix, i love thee.
wish me luck on all of my finals! ahhhh!
okay tonight i'm posting two covers of the fantastic song, and my 2nd favorite song of all time (behind how soon is now?) of course, "enjoy the silence" by depeche mode. Both sound very different. the first is the more accessible cover of the song by keane, and the other is the more ambient version by division day...
enjoy and hopefully i'll post again soon! Happy palm sunday btw...well yesterday.

Happy 1/2 Birthday To Me!

hot chip! ahhh so excited to finally see them!
i totally just realized its my 1/2 birthday...ahh! 6 more months till i'm 21, and my huge extravaganza in vegas! sweet.
so pretty much i got home past midnight, after a long, but fun day...and i still had the dedication to run 5, count it, 5 miles. Wednesday night was probably my busiest day of the quarter, a ton of papers due, and last class till finals, so when i got home, after bowling of course haha, i collapsed. first night i hadn't done anything in awhile, and i slept horribly cause of it! ahh.
i don't know whether to be pissed or happy because allllll of my finals are on monday. so that means after monday i'm done, but that also means i don't have any time to study for all of them. Thank god its 4 not 5, i had one final on wednesday, but 4 finals, thats horrible. But as of right now, it looks like i'm going to get 3 A's and 2 B's...i impress myself.
God, i don't know about all of you, but i get so sick of talking about myself, but sometimes i just forget what i'm going to talk about so i just blab on.
10,000 B.C. don't see it...if you are a history buff like me, you will want to scream! soo many historical problems...
Oh btw, if you viewed my page in the past day or two and saw a random video on it, i'm sorry, although the video is of my new favorite band vampire weekend, i totally didn't mean for that to show up. i actually tried to post it like a week ago but it never showed up, until wednesday afternoon randomely i guess? whatev.
speaking of vampire weekend, i can't explain how off my first opinion of them was. i really feel their self titled debut, is SPECTACULAR. Reminds me sooo much of bloc party's debut, if you haven't dabbled in it, i suggest you do. night 1 coachella...yeahhhhh!
Okay, tonight i'm posting two totally random songs. The first, you won't even want to look at because of who the artist is, but i must admit, i find it very well done. It's nelly furtado, thats right, nelly furtado, doing a cover of crazy, by gnarls barkley, don't knock it till you try it! And the second, since i got so much positive feedback from posting a song from jens lekman, i decided to post a great remix from another great song off of "night falls over kortadela." Seriously, beautiful song.
Happy friday, and enjoy my 1/2 birthday.

Struhhhessed

ok so i may be emotionally very happy with myself right now, but physically and mentally i'm drained. I have my three biggest papers due this week, and in true kenny fashion, i wait till the last minute, but it sucks because lately i have been completely and utterly dead. Idk why, its strange, like every morning gets harder and harder for me to get up. And by mid day, i can barely keep my eyes open. My mom thinks its because i don't eat enough, and whatever i do eat, i immediately work off, so my body has no energy, but i don't necessarily agree with that because whenever i eat something i'm still tired afterwards, if not more tired. Personally, i'm kind of scared because i feel tired like mono tired, which isn't good, but i don't think its that bad. But speaking of mono, i'm down to the weight i was right after i had mono, which was like nothing. So that's cool, i'm proud of myself because i've worked sooooo hard, and now i honestly believe i am by far in the best shape of my life. Yeeeeaahhhh.
Okay so tonight i am posting a song from one of my favorite bands of 2007, division day. With a name like division day, it reminds me of some horrible christian rock band, but no, they are a very very good indie band, who released a fantastic album called, "beartrap island" in the latter part of 07. Well when they finished that album, they also released a few random covers of well known songs, so i have a few, but the first i am posting is the classic song "plowed." Very well done. And the other is a great song in which the only reason i'm posting it, is because this band is so similar to one of my faves, the shins. I've heard a few from this band called "the morning benders" and the similarity is uncanny, musically and lyrically, so here is a song from them, and you'll see what i'm talking about.
Damn, if i can stay awake i'm going to try and knock one of these papers out tonight...wish me luck

Division Day - Plowed (Sponge Cover)
The Morning Benders - Crosseyed

New TPC!

sooo i just received the first official song from "elephant shell" and its spectacular, vintage tpc, i hope you enjoy it.
Its strange how a few nights ago i wasn't feeling so great about myself, but after friday night, i feel on the top of the world, i just feel my entire life is in front of me, i know what i want in life, and i'm confident i'm going to find a significant other who loves me for me. Just hearing my family supporting my need for change, and supporting every other major decision i have made or will make in my life. is amazing. All i realize, is that whatever happens, whether i leave corona or not, will be for the best, but my god do i want to get out of this place...haha...its not as if i don't like this town, but i don't feel i can do anything else here, if i am meant to stay at cal poly, then so be it, but if i am meant to leave, like i feel i am, then i'm out, peace.
I don't mind spending the latter parts of weekends just working out and watching nip/tuck by myself, because all i can think about, is i won't be like this forever, and i will someday have someone who i will watch seinfeld with and just enjoy spending time together.
Okay, i really didn't plan on posting tonight, but i feel i had to post the new tokyo police club song. So here i am. And the other song i am posting is a great song from Chris Walla, a la death cab for cutie. He released his solo album, "Field Manual" a month or so ago. He is also known as a great producer, producing tegan and sara's "The Con," and other indie successes. I have one of his singles tonight, enjoy, and i hope all of you remembered to set your clocks back...night.
wow technically at the time i am finishing this post, its 4:15...eek.

Chris Walla - Sing Again

There Is Hope

so tonight, i just got back from santa clarita, celebrating my grandpa's 90th birthday. Wow, 90, and he's still so sharp, it was great. My entireeee family was there, everyone. I find it hilarious, how no one mentions things to my face, but apparently everyoneee was talking about me behind my back, haha i love it. But not saying anything bad of course, just talking about my life. I only told my dad and my sisters that i wanted to transfer schools, and no one except my cousin lindsey the entire night mentioned it to me, but apparently everyone was talking about it to everyone else, and they all love the idea, and think its for the best. i love my family...but my favorite part of the night was something entirely unexpected. Well right when i got there, my cousin lindsey, who is my age and goes to chapman, brought her roommate/best friend to the festivities, and we really hit it off. You see, i didn't really have any interest in her, but meeting her and talking to her forever made me so happy, because she passed the kenny test. For those of you that don't know, the kenny test is a set of standards that i hold all girls in, and it is a ridiculous standard, but one i hold very close to me. My last girlfriend held all of those standards, and one of the reasons i had such a hard time getting over my break up, was i neverrr thought i would find someone again that held all of my standards, but my cousins friend, met absolutely all of those. She went to catholic school her entire life, beautiful, strong family values, doesn't like partying, naturally pretty, dresses really well, listens to good music, very sociable, plans for the future and a few more. Again, i may never see her again, but the fact is that there are other girls out there for me, and she seemed soo interested in me hahaha. It was awkward though because whenever we would talk, everyone would stare and smile, wow that wasn't obvious... and that made my week, maybe my month. There is hope!
Sorry i haven't been posting lately, i have had sooo much to do, its hard to find the time. But how about that project runway finale! Ahhh i love that jillian, but i knew she wouldn't win...christian had it locked up. And now top chef starts! suhweet
Wow, i'm really tired, but tonight i guess i'll post a couple random songs. the first is a gwen stefani song covered by ff, haha its pretty funny. And the other is a good cover of "the best song of 2007" all my friends, by a good indie band called the main drag.
I hope everyone's friday went well, gnite.

You Are A Splendid Butterfly

eek. So if my girlfriend and i were still together today, today would be our 4 year anniversary. If you asked me a couple months ago if i would be spending march 5th alone, i would've thought you were crazy, but thats life i guess. Anyways, i just watched the movie, "once" and i absolutely loved it, really really great, i recommend all of you see it. Funny i had the soundtrack before i saw the movie, so i sang along to every song, and it almost put me in tears, seriously, go get it. I got it on netflix, but i'm definitely going to go buy it...
I am so proud of myself, i found my true love in working out. I've run 3 miles every day for the past 2 weeks, plus do 300 sit ups and weights. I'll probably do double time today to keep my mind off of everything, so its going to be great...my mom is scared, she thinks i'm losing too much weight, because i still don't eat much, but she'll get used to it.
Speaking of my mom, i decided to tell her about joining the peace core after college, and i thought she was going to be furious, but it turns out she almost joined when she got out of high school, so she was very accepting of the idea. It seems as though every day, i become more and more convinced it is what i want to do, it will give my life so much meaning, but i have my seminar tomorrow, so i'll let you all know how it goes.
Okay so i have to say this, i put jack johnson up on that stupid survey thing because i can't stand him, and i thought my friends who read this had good taste in music and didn't like him either, but maybe i was wrong? I can name 1000 musicians better then jack johnson. Jesus, in his interview with spin magazine, he admitted to being completely one dimensional, and admitted to using 2 damn chords for allllllll of his songs...horrible. Even people like joshua radin, who is signed under brushfire records, jack johnson's own label has soooo much more talent then him. It bugs me when bands like the magnetic fields wait around for their big break and never get it, despite deserving it 10x over jj.
I cannot describe how much i have fallen in love with the magnetic fields, over the past couple of weeks it is all i have listened to. In 1999, nearly 10 years ago, lead singer stephin merritt released "69 love songs." It is 69 songs on 3 discs, 23 per disc, and each song, on every album is incredible. His lyrics make your legs shake, and his voice is hauntingly beautiful. This is the music that should be on the cover of rolling stone, this is the music that should be headlining a day at coachella, because this is nothing less then perfect. I'm only posting one of his songs, but i hope to post more soon as i convert his music from m4a files to mp3, but this is probably one of my top 10 fave from them, listen to the lyrics and float away. The other is a cover of a magnetic fields song by the shins. Obviously they, along with the arcade fire (posted earlier), both appreciate the art that stephen merritt creates. And i hope you will too!
Btw despite hillary clinton winning big last night, she still has absolutely no chance in getting the nomination, i've done the math, and it seems virtually impossible. hooray?? absolutely.

Set Me Free.

oh yeah! curb season 6! just released! yayyy.
even though monday's are always a really busy day for me, i always post on sunday nights, largely because i watch "meet the press" at 3am everyyyy sunday, or technically monday, to keep up on politics around the world. And considering i have a paper due tomorrow, i'm still writing this because i figure i'll be up forever anyway, i often pull all nighters because i don't have class till 2, but i have class till 8 tomorrow night and then i run to teach class till late...i'm starting to get into hardcore training mode, but i'm kind of scared. I planned on testing for my 4th degree black belt in june or july, but my master's son, who i tested with for 3rd degree black belt, isn't testing until december... i wouldn't mind waiting till december, but if i move away for school, which is looking like whats going to happen, then i don't know what to do...
anyways, tonight was fun, sunday night dinner with the fam, then going to see "semi pro" which was funny, but not close to will ferrell's best. And even though i got home at 12, i still managed to work out for 2 hours...i'm amazing myself, my strength and stamina has increased like 200%, soo sweet. Oh and earlier i went to target and best buy by myself (kinda sad haha) and at best buy they have ALL the seinfeld seasons for 20 bucks each! i went crazyyy, i bought a bunch because i still had bb gift cards from christmas, yay.
Okay tonight, i'm posting a couple songs from a band i feel has a lotttt of potential. They aren't known at all, and they only have 1 song on itunes, but i heard about them a while ago, and haven't stopped listening to their largely unreleased ep since i got it. The band's name, is "the hours" and the first song "ali in the jungle" is uhhmazing. Very very good, and the other song, "back when you were good," is great too, but it takes a little while for it to get going, but give it a chance. Goodnight lovers.

The Hours - Ali In The Jungle
The Hours - Back When You Were Good

You're My Boy Blue!

Is it weird that i have 4 different email accounts? Is that normal? haha well speaking of email, i happened to get a couple regarding my last couple posts. Because, on one of my last posts, i said that i don't need money to be happy, but then on the next post i said that i will be successful, i promise you...and i understand that sounds like a contradiction, but what i meant by successful, is reach my fullest potential, and when i said i will be known, yes i know i will be known, but you don't have to be rich to be known. I will be wealthy, but not necessarily rich. And now i feel like i'm already on my way there.
3 years is a longgg ways away. But i feel i have a great idea of what i want to do now when i get out of school. This is going to sound weird, but i want to join the peace core. I would be in a 3rd world country for 27 months, where after i graduate college, i can teach foreign children about most likely, politics haha. I've looked everything up, and i'm going to a information seminar on wednesday. Of course this is totally preliminary, but if i graduate college with my major and my minor and i don't know what i want to do with my life, and i don't have a girlfriend or my career job, its perfect for me. I get to help people that really need it, and it would be the most fulfilling thing i could ever do...and plus through the peace core, they have various relationships with graduate schools where you could get a tonnnnn of course credit, or where nearly any grad school would accept you because of your dedication to the country...plus through a lot of countries, i would get to take graduate classes, so by the time i'm back home, i would practically already have my master's. It's 100% safe, i would have full health coverage, and i get 50 days vacation! I think i may have found my calling, but i'll let you know in 3 years haha.
God, i've changed so much, its hard to believe how we adapt to our situations around us, and how going through hell is worth it in the end...
Okay tonight i have 2 remixes by britt daniel from spoon. In 2007, spoon released "ga ga ga ga ga" one of the best releases of the year, and for the first time, making me a fan. The first is a minimal remix of interpol's slow hands, its pretty good, but his remix of the feist song, "i feel it all," is a gem. Enjoy.
