  • Some people are just so full of disappointment that I can no longer expect anything from them except that they will only disappoint me.

    I do not look forward to these people no matter how pleasant they are. That is one thing I cannot tolerate.

  • Sometimes, I feel like I miss high school. Well, not "high school" specifically. More like, I feel like I miss the person that I was. You know, daring, obnoxious - full of life and energy. Those were the crazy years that got my adrenaline pumping. The poster I did for Shannon, the senior prank that went unnoticed, the countless times I risked my life climbing up the gym, the defiance of authority for expressing myself and what I can do - they were the times I felt like I could do anything. Nothing was holding me back, not even the standards of society. I didn't care how I dressed or looked. I didn't care about what other people thought. I did my own thing, and that's what mattered.

    Nowadays, I'm stuck at home and limited with opportunities to express myself. I feel like there's so much energy being held inside that it is driving me crazy. In my life as of right now, there are only two things that I have: work and trombone. I have some things pending right now, but who knows how long that will be. Not going to school has made it even worse now that there is plenty of time on my hands. I want to start so many things, but I'm not sure where to start. I have the drive and I have the ambition, but I'm lacking motivation. I'm relying on people to start doing things with me, but I'm not so sure why. I have a lot of time on my hands, and it's so easy to be lazy. These are the times where I need to do something with my life, without limit and without distractions. With that said, these are my goals:

    -Learn sound recording and sound engineering
    -Be familiarized and get into the production business (learn to be a producer)
    -Get on with the new band
    -Write some songs, compose some melodies
    -Arrange some songs, explore my inner musicianship
    -Practice jazz piano, check out and learn the different techniques
    -Pick up the guitar and learn some shit
    -Pick up some students for trombone
    -Find a new, higher-paying job
    -Bboy, even if it's by myself
    -Perform and join groups
    -Pick up the phone and ask people out. To hang out

    All do-able. I need to fill up my time.

  • So after much thinking, I realize that I am not a relationship person no matter how much I might crave for a significant other.

    Dating around and getting to know people, however, is the most comfortable I'll get. I like to keep a distance from people.

    CAMP

    was pretty fun, parkour-wise. It's a lot more dangerous in a natural environment because it's less predictable and requires more concentration, especially on the analytical aspect of parkour. There is so much more you have to consider in the environment before you execute a maneuver, like if the trees are grip-able, how much momentum you'd have left coming down a slope, jumping and landing with precision at the right spot so you don't fall and injure yourself, gaging how far a drop is and how slippery the leaves might be. It's dangerous, but exhilarating.  I should have taken Peter (thieu from Josephine's group) around, to see his capabilities. It was a surprise to run into a fellow traceur from the least expected place. If I had more people who did parkour with me, I would have taken them around for some training. Maybe next year.

    My role in camp this year was pretty much a flexible one, meaning I'm open to do whatever needs to be done. But for the most part, it was fun just being able to just chill and relax. There's nothing special to mention about this year, but like every year there's always something to talk or discuss about, like how there seems to be an underlying theme behind every camp theme. It's something I'd like to call temperament. Spend a considerable amount of time observing people in the weeks following camp AND the weekend of camp and you'll really start to see a pattern and understanding of people's nature, especially when they're forced into positions where they have to step outside of themselves. This is where people gain AND lose respect.

    Even though there was nothing special about HD16, I'm beginning to wonder what it would be like if I was more involved with TNTT. Can I really make a change for the better?
