Thinking about group 3's project.....

I thought group 3's presentation was interesting because it made me think about what is really important to me and have to start cherishing in life more. For example, just this past summer, my dad had a major heart attack. When his work place called my mom and said my dad was not feeling so well, they suggested we should go pick him up. My mom and I went to go pick him and when he got in the car, I really didn’t notice much and I thought he was just sick or something but my mom knew something was wrong. So my mom said drive him to the hospital but my dad was refusing because he thought he was just dizzy and he just wanted to go home and sleep it off. I was telling my mom he’s okay and we should just listen to him and take him home but then my mom started to notice that my dad was turning pale and then she grabbed my dads hand and asked if he was okay. Suddenly my mom said take him to the hospital right now because his hands were cold and I reached over to touch his hands and it was ice cold and then I started to get really worried. As I was driving and freaking out, I had an option to go on the freeway because I was right by it but for some odd reason I decided to go locally and when I drove past the freeway entrance, I took a quick glance and saw dead stop traffic on the freeway. Luckily my mom was in the car and I didn’t take the freeway because my dad would have not made it. When we immediately arrived to the hospital, my dad had two heart attacks and could have died if we didn't go to the hospital right away. In relation with group 3's project, I should stop and smell the roses because sometime I tend to take my family for granted because I would always think nothing would ever happen to them but in reality anything can happen in a heart beat. Life is Crazy and it goes by FAST and from now on I am going to try to appreciate all the things in my life before it passes right by me. Though I wished my dad never experience his heart attack but to me I think everything happens for a reason because my dad started to value life more by quit smoking cigarettes and exercising more.

friends....

Wow…… I have the worst hangover ever and I can’t believe I’m up because I just came home like five hours ago but I have always been an earlybird anyways. I haven’t gone out for months and the reason why I went out was because it was one of my good friends birthday. I realized that as you get older, you really don’t have the time to hangout with friends like before because everybody have different schedules and priorities. This was the first time that all my friends and I, have been together since our last trip to Vegas in June and even though we haven’t seen each other it seem like we haven’t miss a beat. The reason why I said we haven’t miss a beat is because I thought it would be kind of weird seeing all my friends together because we haven’t all hung out for awhile but I was wrong because we all grew up together and there would always be that chemistry between us

Graffiti!!!!

When I was driving home last night, I noticed that someone sprayed graffiti on a wall of a store next to my house and it reminded me about group 2’s presentation. To me I think when someone graffiti’s in a public place, it is because they want people to see their piece or they want to represent their crew or themselves to a public place. I was one of the person that answered “no” I don’t mind if I see graffiti in a bus stop and “yes” I do mind if it’s in my neighborhood. To be honest I don’t mind seeing graffiti at a bus stop because it’s not my property and it’s typical to see this kind of things in a public place. As for my neighborhood, I would mind because I guess it’s out of the norm and when I do see graffiti it’s always at the store but to the best of my knowledge it’s the only second time that happened. If I lived in downtown Seattle or something I wouldn’t mind because its normal to see graffiti in the city and I guess it really do depends on where you are at because some places it’s considered natural and some places don’t but it really depends on the certain individual to decide on that.
This is not really related but I thought this was a cool graffiti of Tupac that payed tribute to the legendary rapper after his death.

Rock on.....

At first I wanted to interview my two little cousins but they were too shy so I had to figure out another way to record them. The reason why I chose my little cousins Ashley and Abby because they come over to my house everyday after school until my aunt comes pick them up. To me I think the sound of a little kids joy and excitement is the most interesting because it brings me happiness when I see the joy on their face. Since they were too shy, I decided to trick them and have them play Rock Band. Rock Band is a game where you can be the guitarist, drummer or the singer in a rock band. As they were playing I secretly recorded them and in this audio you can hear a repeating tumping sound which is the drum and my little cousins talking to each other in joy while playing the rock song. I also cut and added some voices in the background so I guess I say its a remix.
If my audio is not working go to this url http://www.archive.org/details/RockBand
and then you can listen to it.

Blog on Leslie's film

The car ride in Leslie’s film is a lot different than my own car ride because I am the one that usually does all the talking. If someone is riding with me, I am always trying to engage in conversation because I like to talk and I think it’s weird when there’s complete silence. To the best of my knowledge the only time when I am not talking in a car ride is when we’re listening to music but other than that, I’m always talking. I lived in Seattle basically all my life and I know this is sad but I have the worst sense of direction and in the film it seems like he's pretty good with his directions.The only time when I have “me” time is when I am driving alone and it is very important for me because this is where I do all my thinking. Every time when I am driving I observe my surroundings and a lot of the time when I see people in the streets I think in my head and wonder where is this person walking to, what is this person thinking, why is this person walking or taking the bus and etc. After writing this post I realized that the only thing I have in common with the driver in this film is that we’re really focused when we drive.
