Let Go

If you like odd, bizzare, queer, sickening videos, this is the video for you. Rather, if you are someone who would rather spend ther time doing something productive, then please ignore the music video below.

This video is filled with sick images of human parts consuming one another over and over again. The repeditive artwork was put to the tune of an even moe repeditave 12-word song. The only aspect I did like was the "cohesiveness". I did like the way it always came back to the singing lips, and the same face.

Here's the video. My advice: don't waste your time, or brain cells:

 "You try too hard to keep contol, just relax and let go." Will haunt my dreams forever. What are your thoughts? How many nightmares have you had since this video??

October 2nd, 2010-Cross Country Race

Today LVCP's cross country team participated in our first ever race! This 3mile race had quite a few uphills, but was lots of fun. We did really well considering that this was our first real time. Here are a pictures from the event. The boys ran before the girls, and the guys were nice enough to stick around until I was finished. :)
A nice group shot. The OVERWHELMING number of girls CONSUMED the front row, while the guys stod in back. ;) Unfortunately, we're missing two of our boys in the picture.


Jeff, Will, and Dustin. Dustin was making me laugh the whole time!

Devan and Manny!

Paul was super fast!

Finish line! FINALLY! The girl in front of me (in blue) ran the entire race near me. We had the same pacing! I thought that was funny.

As promissed...
here are a few of the photos I took while attending the Model United Nations conference at Santa Margarita High in S. California. I tried to choose mostly group shots, in case some of you don't want your individual pictures posted.
Panda Express lunches. SCORE!

My Friend Nicole in committee.

A group shot after the conference. Smile!

This group pretty much hung out the whole weekend. P5 + Germany! (You guys know what I'm talking about)

Food break @ Coco's. Not much to say.

Just a shot I took on the car ride home that I thought was pretty.

ADORABLE LITTLE MUSICIAN!


This is most funny if you're a Jason Mraz freak like me, but hilarious nonetheless. Please watch!

MUN Conference: Success!

A few days ago, my friends came back from an academic conference in Southern California. It was so much fun! Three of my friends and I even placed, and got awards! Overall, it was an amazing experience, and was very educational, and also a great bonding oppertunity. If you ever have the chance to attend a Model United Nations conference, try and go! Once I download all my pictures, I'll be posting some of my favorites here.

Banksy: The Man and His Flowers

Today in English class, Mr. Justin showed the class this image from the secretive artist: Banksy. We wrote our own paragraphs about our own interpretations of the art piece:

 What a beautiful piece! The contrast between the beautiful flowers, and the dark man show many things:
(a) The depict detail of the flowers show how Banksy is highlighting the beauty, peace, and overall "rightness" of the flowers.
(b) The citizen depicted in the image is not necessarily one man. He more represents a community of rebels. This is why he is not portrayed in detail. I perceive that he is trying to blend in with the others so that the source of his actions are not acknowledged.

I'd like to believe that this man is secretly doing good for his community. Instead of throwing a rock or grenade, the man here is throwing flowers, a symbol of good.

Perhaps this is a representation of Banksy him/herself. Aka: Someone who is doing good for the global community behind the scenes, without all the personal attention or media.

Of course, I can't be sure of my assumptions, but this is just my interpretation.

Let me know what you think! Please comment! Thanks!
