DXC

This weekend has been a pretty fun weekend.

From Friday's time capsule hangout, to Saturday's chilling at Matt's SanFran house, to Sunday's DunkXChange.

Saturday:

On Saturday we all met up at Matts house to get ready to drive up to San Francisco for the weekend. Our crew was made up of Matt, Russ, Ray, Christian, Troy, Quan, and me. When we reached SF, we unpacked and chilled. We hid the time capsule somewhere inside of the SF house since we couldn't bury it.

That night was filled with fun card playing, making fun of Quan (Adios a todos!), joke telling, non-homo activites......yeah, "Talking Rain" drinks and just loads of fun.

Sunday:

Sunday we woke up and got ready to attend mass and DXC. We went to mass at St. Mary's Cathedral and then afterwards, went to DXC.

The DunkXChange this time around was pretty wack. It took forever to find deals, and when I did, they all flaked. I did manage to sell my Lodens though, so that was good!

We all also had the chance to meet and take pictures with Mitch from Supreme Soul. So that was cool.
*Edit*
FCK. I just found out I left one of my Unkles at DXC. =[[[[[. If you have it, please be so kind as to return it. What are you going to do with one shoe?

Here are some pictures:

Time Capsule

Last day of this HEAT WAVE! Also the last day of school for the week with a three day weekedn for Labor Day!

Anyway, today after school, Eric and Christian came over and we went to Matt's house for "The Project"For the past week, we came up with the idea of a time capsule. So, Eric, Christian, Mark, Troy, Quan, Raymond, Russell, Matt and I met up. We played ball for a few hours and then got ready for our video that we recorded explaining each item we were going to bury and why. So it was pretty cool.

Anyway, tomorrow we're all hitting up San Francisco for the third term of DXC. It'll be a long weekend.


Here are some pictures of today.

DNC X Be The Change

Today was the hottest day of the week. 100 degrees! It sucks that its starting to get hot as we return to school. I was hoping to return to the cold school weather. It was cold during summer and now its getting hot? Oh well.

I also broke out and un-DSed my Puma Suedes today.



Today I was watching the Democratic National Convention and Barack Obama give his nomination acceptance speech.

Obama is a really good crowd speaker.  I had a lot of good points and was very moving. Although, I don't want to make any judgments until I see the Republican National Convention and John McCain.

He kept the idea of the "American Promise". 


There was theme that kind of went through my head throughout the day. I kinda thought about it since I read it off the school wall and after the speech. It is also Obama's campaign slogan.

A Change We Can Believe In.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." -- Mahatmas Ghandi

I really want to start being involved and keeping up with current events because by the next election, regardless of who wins, I will be eligible to vote. I want to know what's going on so I will know who I will vote for and solid reasons of why I am voting for them. I don't want to be one sided and registered in a political party that I have no knowledge about.

Tribute to the Dead Collection

For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been wanting to take a picture of my shoe collection, but never have been able to get around to it. Whether being lazy or busy with other things, I've never had the time or inspiration to take a collection picture, until today. Today, when I saw Mark's collection picture, I decided that it was finally time to take the picture.

History:

After about 3 solid years of buying, selling, and collecting (mostly collecting), I have finally decided to give my shoe game a long rest. I've put too much extra energy and effort into this collection that I can easily use on more productive things. So I have decided that I will take a VERY long break.
