The Students of Color Conference was this weekend. These are some memorable quotes that highlight the past 72 hours.
"But it's so big..." - Jia Yuan Li, in response to the size of a Freeb!rds quesarrito.
"Girl, you aim too low!" - David Preciado, SOCC opening video
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy, during the Hurricane Season excerpt
"I seen some of you girls all sweaty and trippin like uh uh, you ain't classy tryna get into the club like that."
"Now with blacker negroes!" - box cover of some racist porno.
"Dude I need Freeb!rds..." - Ryan Abshire
"That brownie destroyed me." - Darren Yee, in response to the space brownie.
Needless to say, I had an awesome time.
In other recent news, my phone has been jacked. Goddamn it.

I want to scream until I lose my voice, on top of Mission Peak, then at the Twin Peaks in San Francisco, then at the middle of Stoners' Circle here at Aldrich Park in UCI.
Everything is too much right now.
It's been so long since I posted. I know I promised to write more, to let out more, to share more, more frequently on this blog. It's supposed to be cathartic, but I just don't have the motivation to do it. Things happen. Shit hits the fan. I take collateral damage.
Collateral damage seems to be the theme of this year. I want to pour it all out but I just can't right now. I know that when I look back on it even just a month from now, I'll realize how stupid this was, and that everything I felt was pretty pointless. Right now though, the world feels like a cat that wouldn't stop scratching a blackboard.
I listen to metal when I'm hating the world. I listen to screamo when I'm hating myself.
