April showers bring May flowers

It's April!

Sure, I am seven days late but I am always late.

April brings a lot of new and exciting things for me (Move aside, Easter, Jesus Christ, and zealous Christians).

For example, there is UC Davis Picnic Day (big drunkfest), 420, my 21st birthday (get ready, son!), and a series of smaller events, such as the UCD Triathlon (sadly, I am not participating as I had hoped - but I am volunteering!). I am also going to two shows this month: Passion Pit on campus (on my birthday!), and Alicia Keys in Oakland.

But as usual, backwards minded racist conservative hicks be tryna ruin this month fo' me -- what the fuck, yo!

National dickface Bob McDonnell, governor of Virginia (what's the weed like in Virginia?), has declared April to be Confederate History Month. Once again I am humbly reminded of how lucky I am to be from the WEST COAST, the BAY AREA at that, raised with CULTURE and an open mind. No sir, I do not consider your redneck-and-proud lifestyle to be anything remotely related to culture (certainly not "high culture", I should say). Nor do I find any sense in promoting the INHERENT RACISM that is associated with the Confederacy. Slavery, hello?...SMH at Southerners--

And the worst part is knowing that there's a whole clusterfuck of ding-dongs that are throwing their cowboy hats in the air and drinking in celebration, "Hey, y'all! Let's organize our next boot party, y'all! In the name of God, y'all!"

Are you there, God? It's me, May. Smite these mothafucka's to hell!

And here I am researching and reading reviews of good cheap wines that I can buy when I turn 21.

*Sigh* Always gotta kill my good time.

Greetings! It's been far too long. March is nearly over and I find myself at just my second post this month. Hm. I was hoping to at least post 4x a month. Perhaps I will force myself to write everyday for the remainder of March? What do you think?

I'm sitting on my backyard deck chair outside. I'm sipping an iced coffee. The sun is embracing me. I've spent the day hungover and lazy, downloading music, reading blogs and such. It is satisfying. My dog lies lazily next to me.

Sadly, today is my last day of Spring Break. I am thinking it would be a good idea to summarize Winter Quarter, this wonderful Spring Break, and my upcoming Spring Quarter...via bullet-point, of course.

winter quarter

• 17 units: 2 Chinese classes, 2 Comparative Literature classes
• Which lead to an insane amount of all-nighters
• Hundreds of pages read
• And about 40 pages worth of essays were written
• But in the end I made it out with 2 A's, a B, and I'm still waiting for another grade to be released (I'm a bit worried as to why I haven't received my grade yet)
• And I was high almost every night

spring break

• A good balance of work, productivity, and partying
• Bowls, bongs, blunts...joints, pipe, glass
• OG Kush, Jackpot, Shiva Skunk, GDP...
• Grey Goose, Stoli...
• Cigarettes, general sin, I'm-twenty-and-don't-care
• Really, just getting uber fucked up
• ~45 hours of work, San Francisco, love
• Smoking a Nat Sherman in a hidden corner behind the Ferry Building by myself, overlooking the ocean, the Bay Bridge, sun, solace, peace pax pace...
• Summer internship searching
• Deadmau5, Kaskade, Matt Alber, Gabriel & Dresden, etc.
• B.o.B. ft. Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You
• Ghetto Superstar <3
• I love my friends. I repeat- I love my friends.

spring quarter

• Again, 2 Chinese classes, 2 Comparative Literature classes
• One of which is a class on Shakespeare. This makes me want to spray my pants.
• This quarter, I will figure out what I will be doing this summer. Whether that means summer school or interning/working in SF or going to China...I have no clue.
• All I know is that I'm turning 21 in a little over two weeks. You know it's going to be insane.
• A visit to an undergraduate advisor is very necessary.
• As is a visit to my Comp. Lit. advisor -- I plan on writing a sick senior thesis, but this may require negotiating.

I was uber fucked up last night. Like so fucked up...high to cross-faded to drunk. That was such a fucked up night. I actually yacked and that happens infrequently with me. So you know I was straight fucked up. Let me reiterate once again- I WAS FUCKED UP. Thanks for that, friends. Happy birthday Chris Lau.

The Electronic Music Festival in Miami. It sounds incredible. I would love to go this. Miami is where it's at.

Another random note: I was telling a friend the other day how one of my life goals is to attend a rave outside of America. What comes to mind is Europe of course. They have always known what is up in the house/electronic/techno/trance scene. Those crazy Europeans. I also have this image in my mind of attending a rave in the Netherlands, or Norway. I just feel like it'd be crazy.

But most of all, I would love to go to one in Brazil. The idea is incredible. This music video consistently blows my mind.

Everyone and their moms in the UC system is studying abroad, I swear. Perhaps I will too. Unquestionably, I choose Latin America as my destination - Brazil in particular. UC Davis doesn't have a wide selection of Latin America study abroad options, unfortunately. Although they do have a Cuba program, which is amazing. Other than that, there is also Argentina and Chile, both of which are appealing as well.

Well, this post just turned into a clusterfuck of things that have been on my mind lately. You bitch, May!

It's 4:20 pm.

I'm impossibly lazy today. It is Sunday, after all. The thought of returning to school tomorrow and returning to Davis tonight kills. Luckily I love Spring Quarter.

My brain isn't ready to shut down quite yet but I need to go to Costco to buy cat food. Cat owners constantly have to buy cat food. Cats love cat food, and I love cats. So....
