Music Is The Most High

music has really always been a huge part of my life. i always felt that i just had this super strong bond between me and music. even when i was younger i was just always into so much different types of music. now that ive gotten a lot older and more mature, my knowledge for music and love for it has become much much stronger. i feel like i truly understand music in a totally different way then how i used to feel for it when i was younger. those days were about what sounded good or what was different etc. but music is a universal language and it shouldnt matter if what you like is cool or just cause you dont like doesnt mean its not cool. thats whats so great about it, everyone has their own different bond between them and the music they enjoy.

im pretty sure some people will stumble upon this and think im just some random kid that thinks he knows everything about music and hasnt even touched an instrument in his life, well to each his own i guess. but ask anybody that really knows me and theyll tell you that im honestly into all different genres of music. i actually do follow all of them as well. well, not all of them just the genres that im into you know? im always researching and learning more about that type of music. getting to know more artist in that area, always trying to really understand it, not just listen to it but really dig into the songs and break them apart, actually try and COMPREHEND the music. seeing the band for musicians and not just people who are making sounds that sound good to my ears.

ive meet so much people that i most likely wouldnt have even met if we didnt have some similar music interest. well that, and skateboarding of course. but music will always bring people together and make bonds between friends even tighter. and lately a group of guys i used to hang with everyday are getting really into reggae music. and they've all taken a like to the culture that it represents as well. going to shows and sharing the love for this special type of music has really brought all of us together again. and its making me realize who my real friends are. it couldnt have came at a better time.

its took me my whole life till this point to realize that i want to write about music for a living. music reviews, show reviews, band reviews and everything in between. everyone always tells you that you have to find a way to make a living doing something you love. everyone should really believe in this saying. so much peoples lives would be much easier and stress free if they did this. well what i love doing is talking to people about music, playing music, and of course along with everyone else, listening to music. hopefully when i get the chance to go back to school im going to try and really take this task on. ive never really had any REAL goals in life. but like i said, ive grown up alot and realize more than ever that now is the time to really make my life into what i want it to be. a recent trip to barns and noble with a couple of bredren has made me realize that this is what i was meant to do. play music, write about music, watch music, live with the music, listen to music, just seriously being the music.

hopefully this blog would be the spark to the fire. so im gonna use this blog as a place to write my own reviews of bands that im into, cds that ive listened to, and not just recent cds but any cd that ive rencently listened to. because when i read reviews in magazines they seem to only talk about recent ones that have came out. but why do that? why not talk about any cd that youve ever listened to? cause sometimes it takes someone elses point of view to get you to try and give something a try or mmake you understand something more.

so open your minds people and remember that everything i say in anything i write is seriously MY OPINION. try not to take it so serious if you think im wrong or something, after all im just some random kid sitting in a bookstore writing about music he loves.

peaces.

Straight Trippin.

ive decided that im gonna also blog trips that i go through hahaha. should be fun. and fun to read.



so......this story starts like this. met up with my homies jayr and kalani one day at around like 11:30. we all had some money so we all pitched in for an eighth of bud and some booze. started drinking and burning at the skatepark just chillin and shit you know? and then kalani pulls out a tab of acid from his pocket hahaha. he asked me if i wanted to split it with him, but i told him nah man im good cause its yours and i want you to feel the trip. but he said that these lucys were crazy and that we would trip pretty hard off of just a half. so of course i ate the other half. then we were on our way to ala moana.


got to ala moana and we met up with my girlfriend so that we could burn her out before she went to work. as soon as i stepped outta the car it hit me HARD. if felt like as soon as i put my foot on the ground everything just went into slow motion and it just seems like time just warped for a few seconds. after the session it came even harder. we went into the foodcourt to eat some panda express. by this time i was trippin hard. everything in the foodcourt was tracing big time. it kinda felt like i was in some timewarp of some sort. then i started trippin even harder when kalani said it felt like he could hear every single conversation, cause it really did feel like that. he said he could fuckin hear people from the beach talking and shit hahahaha.

we started walking around more but it started to get super fucking hot. me and kalani were fuckin trippin and jayr was super drunk and stoned and we all felt the only way we could calm down is if we jumped in the water. but the only person who had board shorts was kalani. we just had to get in that water man. so kalani being the good friend that he is bought me and jayr board shorts from old navy hahahaha. got the shorts drove across the street, stripped in the car and just ran into the water. i dont think i could ever explain how good that water felt as soon as i jumped in. being at the beach while trippin is a whole different experience. the ocean just looked so huuuuge. i would chill in the water and look at the sky every once in awhile and it looked as if though i was like in a huge snowglobe or something hahaha.

when we got outta the water i would look at all the water drippin off of me onto the sand and it looked like a kaleidoscope. the sand and the drips of water were just moving everywhere and making crazy ass designs and shit. got back into the car, drove back home with the boys, ended up at manana to reflect like always. goooood fuckin tiiimes man. straight up.

im pretty sure i will never forget this day in my entire life.

just throwing it out there...

possible tattoo idea?

First off...

im prolly not gonna even keep up with this thing but whatevers. im gonna type every entry like im really talking to someone cause thats the only way i will even start typing anything. but at least the entries are gonna be real and coming right from thoughts and feelings right there and then.

second off...

i gotta thank one of my homies for giving me inspiration to actually start another one of these up. cause we would always talk about how we just want people to know how we are feeling about anything and everything. and if people had the same outlook on life or anything as us.

i guess we are about to find out.....
