Almost Crimes

Woke up at 8 am from a bad dream, proceeded to throw up which didn't help. Realized that I graduated from SJSU two years ago, it made me feel even worse...I dislike days like toady.

Thunderbird Blues

Here's some 2014, first quarter activities.

During January, I flew out to New York City for three days. The main reason behind the trip was to watch the very last Bomb the Music Industry show. It was a lot of fun. Their set was split into two, totaling almost three hours of wild chaotic music. I saw the first act from the crowd and the second from the side of the stage, thanks to Keegan.

Sometimes it's fun to wake up at 5am and drive to Arizona to watch couple spring training games. You get there by noon only to find out that the game's sold out. So you goof around all day, eat at a Chinese-Mexican fusion food. The next day, you hit jackpot and get tickets to a game. Witness a walk-off homerun, drive six hours west back to California and go to work the next day. 

I love California, specially its geography. I love that I can get to the beach in 15 minutes, the mountains in a hour and the desert in two. I went down to Joshua Tree for the very time this past weekend. I really enjoyed it, scrambling on top of the rocks is fun. Figuring out how you are going to comedown is even more fun. 

Positively unemployed. Orange sauce, burritos, minor league baseball games, house show, cal train at the Bay Area this week.  

Do You Know The Way To San Jose?

Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass.
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas.

You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay,
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.

Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas.

I've got lots of friends in San Jose,
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back to San Jose.

Places that pull

To-do List:
Go to Arizona for a weekend in March for spring training.
Quit my current job.
Move North.


I should probably write more often.
