early morning...
being a college student is not what everyone needs, but is it really what i want? is it what i need? i am living paycheck to paycheck so to speak ... considering I don't even work haha but being a college student makes you even more broke: loans, gas, car, tuition, books, food and all that bullshit. i cant even have a decent breakfast anymore! for Pete's Sake .. (whoever Pete is) a gatorade for breakfast? .. (that guitar in the back isn't even mine! its my brother's sweet acoustic axe) speaking of guitar and music .. ill speak on that later. i know school can help with your knowledge and being smarter and higher salaries in the future .. but i would like to experience more than just money. someone once told me .. "money is the root of all evil" and another person told me "cash rules everything around me" so why would I want to be apart of evil and something that can rule me? .. why cant we just go back to the barter system?
everyday I walk through the hallways of school I always pass this dope ass painting, i believe its mickey mouse wanting to shake walt disney's hand. which is kind of cool because its like he is thanking him for making him a reality. the creation meets the creator. but it looks as if mr disney does not care much to shake his hand? one question that always gets me is, does art imitate life or does life imitate art? why think of these life long questions, i would like to quote Chuck from forgetting sarah marshall "if life gives you lemons you say fuck it and bail" 
i took this picture laying down on a couch at school wanting to sleep because i was tired of studying for 3 damn hours at the library! i couldn't even get a chance to download some stuff.
to me i think this is one of my most artistic pictures i have taken! the lighting is kind of cool.but as i sat there laying in the school sofa I was listening to some sweet jams on my phone. john mayer, jack johnson, jason mraz (3 J's), snow patrol, incubus and bow wow ft. t-pain (for some odd reason) as i waited for class i thought to myself, "DAMN i wish i could blow off school and just relearn the drums and advance in that shit!" so i could perform and have the feeling of playing in front of a live audience, something i have been wanting to do for the longest time. i dont care if the audience is just 5 people or 100 people. i mean whenever my friends come over my brother and i usually jam and play these 2 songs that we know, but we are currently trying to get a nice little repertoire of songs under our belt to have a nice little set, for a just in case situation. i love grooving with my brother as he plays his guitar and as i just keep the beat going. one of the most recent songs we've learned (it may be a bit simple but its tight when hiphop heads are there to try and freestyle to or just recite the lyrics) is cliche by typical cats. shits so tight! i wish if we do perform that song that someone just starts freestyling and a battle breaks out! AYO CHECK IT type of battle. my 2 cents is this
music>school
self expression>imitation
