Dizzy in Dallas


This past weekend, I went to Dallas/Fort
Worth. The trip was sightseeing envy, but being on a tight timeframe, I was unable to participate in a lot of hands-on activities. But, the trip kept me on my toes and apparently, a brighter-looking appearance, but still, dread loomed over me.

For too long a time, I've longed for a change of scenery. I found my stay in Maryland quite pleasant last year and North Carolina, keep my hopes up because I'm comin' for ya. Speaking of which, another worthy win from North Carolina for this year's March Madness tournament (yes, I watch occasionally).  Dallas is architecturally aesthetic- sophisticated and pleasing to the eye. Fort Worth city planning is adequate, but the weather in this area is never too hot.

Got an hour to finish a packet of free-response questions and outlining a review for Masters of Sex S2. No matter what time of day it is, stay hydrated and piss. I learned that I am dazed and confused often. However, I won't announce my confusion because I'd feel like a prim, uptight backseat rider. I try to uphold an image
¯\_(ツ)_/¯


When was I dizzy on this trip? For one, I overestimated my coordination skills when it comes to heights. I went rock-wall climbing, maybe 20 feet. My estimation skills are never up-to-par. The feeling of everything collapsing in emerged after two pulls. Yet, I kept climbing.. and began to pant and panic. I could do the splits, but I didn't dare use flexibility in my round. Eventually, I hit the buzzer. But I didn't let go, on my way down. My hands were shaking even after the harnesses were taken off.

  A gentle rainy morning on Sunday called for a reflection. So I did. Stared out the window on the charter bus, put on my hood, and put on some hiphop heartbreak songs. I put this on for a desired vibe.. soothe melancholic episodes. I have had no emotional consequences yet. I immerse myself by singing along and I imagine.. a warm embrace, an improvised road trip, fulfilling Justin Timberlake's vision in "My Love," one happiness that's been only in my dreams. Another being my 'dream birthday party' for next year or so. And that's where I go crazy- there are things that I struggle to accept as a part of reality, but do I still have time to grow? Yeah, we all do. I wept for a few minutes. It's all in my thoughts.

Gorillaz and Looking Back



It's been three years since I had a bowl of ice cream. Today, I ended those three years of faire sans and had a Banana Split. It's invigorating when you discover a handful of unfamiliar music artists. The British group, Gorillaz, released a new album earlier this month and I am digging their techno vibes. I also got Frank Ocean's debut album, Channel Orange, on repeat and already, tons of goodness. Also keeping tabs on PartyNextDoor. This spring is the time to get out and explore: new shows, towns, genres. Seriously, unless you absolutely yearn to be a music enthusiast. Somebody tell me that contemporary composers pay homage to predecessors!

Seek more than improvement. Don't settle for 'enough.' Little goals add up to larger accomplishments, that may pay off in the long run.

I don't tell too many stories, but it's not about saturating the page with exact details- every thought, every scenic prop, precise time readings. Two objectives for storytelling: enthralling tale and audience captivation. The road ahead is bleak and if you're aspiring for anything, be sure to live to see it come true.

Do I prioritize? Don't mention it. Finally, I'll get around to Being Fresh Meat in High School: Freshman Advice. 

  1. Take care of yourself. Stay on top of your health; don't pull all-nighters this year. 
  2. Clean out your bag weekly. Keep a bin for papers... to be recycled.
  3. Join a club. Have some hobbies or sideline ventures. Study outside the classroom curriculum.
  4. Write down goals, priorities, dreams.. stories.
  5. Two ------ takes care of it. Workouts, music genres, acquaintances. 
  6. Practice streaks are motivating. Seeing several rows of colorful music notes on a calendar is something to smile at.
  7. Have a calendar. 
  8. Work to get a driver's permit (or license, depending on state laws)
  9. Don't feed off social medias. 
  10. Speak up in class- even ridiculous remarks will pass. 
  11. Try sleeping in class- just to know how it's like. But don't satisfy all your curiosities.
  12. If you comprehend the material, you'll be fine. 
  13. Read a couple of books. When you use your medulla oblongata... expand your vocabulary. 
  14. Lifestyle changes- only gradually. Changing diet, tri-weekly weight training, one step at a time. Or, be content with the least that you can do (e.g. "I can eat pork, but I will not consume gelatin." "I will be able to do five pull-ups.") 
  15. Say, "Good morning." Have basic manners, even if you are an asshole.
  16. You got guts to speak to upperclassmen, just so you know. Watch yourself around the vets. And, in the presence of, keep your chitchat low.
  17. Start being self-aware. Public image, how self-controlled you are, know when you're afraid, have a sense of your beliefs (but remember that these beliefs can evolve over time).
  18. Establish your taste... Listen or read an assortment of genres, talk with a couple mates, play a few pieces to figure out what you like.
  19. Spend some time outside. Bike every weekend, find a way to walk outside on your way to classes, meditate (I practiced violin outside sometimes)... Vie for at least 20 minutes every day.
  20. Know how to leave toxicity. Maybe the conversation topics are uneasy or somebody's ganging up on you, there is a way out. An extended note, have options at lunchtime; same-old, same-old or change it up sometimes, okay? 
  21. Keep dreaming. 
  22. Think for yourself. You don't have to take that Physics class that everyone else says they're going to enroll in. Go take that Art History course you wanted. 
  23. Everything's gonna work out. <I don't want to alarm fellas with anxiety>
What advice do you wish you had entering high school, university, etc? Comment below! 
Look out,
