Sometimes It Gets Lonely...

and right now is one of those times, i know i vowed (to myself) to put her behind my back, and not give her so much importance in life, because that's all she had done for me---no matter what i said, no matter what she said, it ended up being the same thing, and now we're through, and it honestly hurts, a lot, but that's life, shouldn't have to be though---but i can't just keep it out of my mind, especially right now, it's a Friday night, and we actually haven't said much all week, but this is the loneliest i have felt yet...i haven't talked to anyone tonight, it seems like they all have gone to sleep or whatever, and we would have been on the phone right now man...just laughing it up, talking about EVERYTHING...if not on the phone at least texting...that would be fine......but we're not...and she's out of my life...not because i wished it...because we made it..


Shes Out Of My Life - Michael Jackson
..fml..that song explains about HALF of how i feel..

10/6/09

New Stuff...

i've been working REALLY hard in my garage lately, usings millions of different sampling techniques, sampling from tons of vinyl records..and i still havent found..THAT SOUND...that im looking for...like its way more complex than anyone thinks it is..even me...i have new stuff thats good..but that doesnt mean its what im looking for...so..until i find it...i'll keep listening to records...sampling any and all interesting parts..........i'll find my sound..........wish i had


i'm motivated...

thats all for now


PEACE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Truth...

i dont even know why i still try...
its not working out...
because of how i feel...
and she's not even trying to change the feeling...
if u REALLY cared about someone...
u'd do something...
and thats whats missing...
so as of now...
we're done...




*she opens her eyes wide...and realizes that it doesnt matter to her anymore*

9/11/09

LIFE LIFE LIFE...as a sophmore

honestly so far school sucks...not because of teachers or homework..i know that that's school u know...what is making it suck is "friends!"..you know..."friends, it can be fun if you have one, if you have two they should both still support you..." that's part of this chorus I've been working on...i may use it some day...so...don't steal it (yea right)....but really man....best friends suck when they act like something WAAAAYYYYY less than that...i mean...sometimes its just me...u know..ima quote my friend Sayda "i hope it gets better though. i just need to figure some stuff out. i need to stop worrying about unnecessary things. they should be meaningless. itll get better:] it will."

that's how it is for me...at the moment really..and it sucks when u feel something...and your significant other cant feel what you feel u know...they'll know...but..haha trust me they wont know...they cant tell what type of shit ur going thru...all these emotions...and its unnecessary...because i have a girlfriend..so what does this broad have on me....a lot...BUT I DONT WANT ANOTHER FUCKING FRESHMAN YEAR... 2 much drama...2 much 4 me...like...im skinny..i know..im strong..but..if the emotion i took in was an actually weight..i wouldnt even be able to move it you know....i take in A LOT..on the inside..like people dont know how much...more than my body should take maybe..and i hold it in......and..yea...cuz things get weird sometimes when i release...things get weirder when i dont tho...i mean like..either way...idk...

you ever miss the old someone..and give them a new name...for example...(just an example)..."Brand New Marilyn"...u know like...u ever done that...because they seem to have changed..and u feel u stayed the same..and despite ur efforts to keep stuff cool...u cant help but feel...uncool...a friend of mine told me that maybe it was time to go seperate ways...maybe he's right...maybe he's wrong..maybe he's both......but that seems stupid...i just wanna know why there is always something wrong with me u know...i dont stay happy 2 long...im NOT OKAY with my life...like really....when i go deep enough into it...this summer...was...mostly great,...a rough start...ut i stayed happy most of the time...i was able to keep a really clear mind at work..just on music and work..but when ppl come around again..and u have a girlfriend..and stuff starts to seem different...it can really get weird...like...idk....and these kind of feelings..are really killing me inside...i could like go 2 a therapist i bet..but...u cant come 2 any conclusion about wats wrong...becuz it doesnt make sense..not even to me...sooo...even if we may come 2 so me sort of epiphany...its still like....im gonna go back 2 being that sad way...

i know how it feels...now im starting to feel like is me who fucked a lotta things up...sublimely..and now...things are falling apart 4 me..like they once did for others...but i didnt do anything wrong...just followed my heart...

he EXPLODES UNDER PRESSURE....

things can never go back 2 normal...what is normal..and is this difference felt...ppl can feel the same...sometimes they dont notice how much they change..like growing up....i can tell the difference in height if i think about it now...but in 8th grade...i didnt notice how muc i had grown since 6th grade...but i had grown..a lot...

9/9/09

i went to dennys with Yoelim jean thebe noah eric and alex...that was cool

then we kind of split up and it was just me Yoelim and jean...it was cool til yoelim reminded me that she was going 2 meet a guy...at the book store...so...i felt kinda like wtf...ut its cool...its all good.......

9/6/09

LEMME TELL YOU...

about Saturday...even though it was very short, it was very fun...all day i had been working...and i was tired..me and my mom were supposed to go school shopping...but she the bank was closed v_v...so i was bored at home......THEN this special lady was wondering what was doing tonight, because her brother and his girlfriend were hangin' out..and she was wondering if i could come...luckily i could...we were going to go see "Gamer" but because of curfew the people at the ticket booth wouldn't let Eulalia's brother get tickets for us...sooooooooo...we ended up getting in his car....and driving down to IHOP...i had a CD full of Dilla songs...so we listened to that while driving...he didn't have his awesome speakers with him v_v..but the bass was still producing a CHAMPION SOUND........we were laughing, eating, talking and all that...it was really cool...their cousin showed up..he was cool...lol...after eating...we embarked on an adventure...2 my house -_-...we had a dull doorstep conversation lol..but t ended in a hug and i'll miss you's...that made the night a million times better...even though we only hung out for an Hour and A Half...
=)

9/4/09

ok to put an end to all the mpc confusion

im gonna go with my instincts

9/3/09

Get Up In It...WHUT!!!

after a bunch of confusion...i finally found the MPC that I'm going to get...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290344435784&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

what happened first was i bought an MPC 500 (i was being impatient)...i had bid on an mpc 1000 but i thought someone was going to outbid me...but...it turned out that i won that one...0_0...crazy right...by that time i had already sent the money to the guy with the mpc 500...and i told the guy selling the mpc 1000 and he was like going to have report me to the resolution center and they would fine me...if i didnt get out of that mpc 500 deal...im glad he gave me that idea...i went and asked the other seller if i could cancel the deal and get my money back...HE SAID YES...and so i got my money back this morning....and actually i think its fortunate for me that the other guy also canceled our deal..so i got all my money back...and now im watching 4 MPC 1000's that are cheaper than the 500...and they're the blue and red kind..and it is said that they're in excellent condition...so i'll choose that one that i posted the link for...JAH had my back this time..i learned a lesson man....

now im bout to get that champion sound...

9/2/09

1 Day Exactly...

i woke up at 7 today for like no reason in particular...but i got on the computer and it was 7:15..i looked at the MPC 500 I'm looking forward to buying, then i saw that it had one day left no hours or nothing...which means the sale is over at 7:15 Thursday morning..so i will be getting one tonight...my electronic transfer is on its last few hours...ecstatic...

8/31/09

Monday The 31st.

today was cool...since i finished all my hours @ work, i decided to show up WHERE I BELONG...the boyz n girls club, in general, but specifically the studio there...one of my favorite places to go this summer really...its like u enter a different world up there, totally different atmosphere, some drama, but mostly calm, serious, funny, complex, and simple at the same time......anyway...it was me, Brandon G, this other dude DeShawn (that i made a beat for, we'll be working on that song)..Raj. stopped by..and the other staff of the studio this female Carly was there...we chillaxed..i sold Brandon some incense (good lookin')...we burned it chilled...i showed brandon a beat..i made a new beat...for me & DeShawn (

By My Decree.mp3 - WeIrD eYe)

and yea...that'll turn out to be something hot...weird productions....

so ya...i went to the promenade with alexas cousin...we walked around there for a bit...i got some info on applying for a job...got some japanese soda and pocky..yum....


OH HOW COULD I 4GET...MY NEW RECORD CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY...THE BEATLES - STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER(hi marilyn), AND PENNY LANE...BOUT TIME TO BUY THAT MPC...1 OR 2 DAYS MAYNE...=) ANXIOUS TO CLICK THAT BUTTON




-i keep running into B. things are weird...trying to straighten them out

This Too Shall Come Too Pass...

well, i'm done working, a month and a half i worked i think, it could have been two months but i finished my hoursn on friday...so...im back at the club...or home..whatever...the lady that works at hour weekly and runs the urban media foundation program im in says her and the CEO of our weekly are going to rehire me though, for Urban Media Foundation...that should be cool...=) they like my work ethic, attitude, and such........


on another note, my last check is coming September 11th...along with 100 extra dollars because SOMEONE at work nominated me for this young intern with great ethic type thing you know...cant say thAts not a great honor....unbelievable i'm about to blow about 500 on this MPC 500 but its worth it...so i say its not blowing it..its more like investing....=) really excited...and with about $220 also on the way and 100 left over from past checks...the weekend after my 1st half week of school..with be splurge mania....

Threaded thoughts inspire finical drawings
Blue odes shoot rhythm to even the jagged oddity
Golden fingers warm my indifferences to disperse
Catch the cat on fire, and deplete the inconsistencies
The back pops.. Signs of the past run wild
A memoir is kept behind an aloof golden haven
Clear as translucency can be to the eyes, but clearer to the skies
The world is a stolen place, when opened mouths break the seed of silence
Thanks to breaths, inhales, and exhales, I parade in symmetry
Vexed at the moonlight, and zealous of the exfoliantees

je veux écrire plus


SPOILED BY INDIFFERENCES


PUTRID ROSES
FOUND ON A MORALLY DISTURBED HEIGHT OF SOCIETY
NESTLED AS THE HEROINE OF AIR
OBTRUDED OVER MOUNTAIN TOPS THAT GO FURTHER THAN FAIRIES AND THEIR EXISTING IMAGINATIONS
I WANT TO SEE THEM ALIVE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GROW IMPATIENT
WITH THE FUCK, I STOOD THERE GLISTENING LIKE MARYJANE'S SHRUB

Nothing To It


I paid truce AT odds with myself
I can make math problems for you
I can cry him a river, build a bridge, and go over it
You know nothing, you know not that I believe it to be heartless to do so
-- To my imagination running too far
It's senseless to invite ideas of contemporary jazz into an anti social bag of instruments
Likewise, ending up on land would be like staying up all morning
Thoughts wake up like a sunrise does its illuminating
in XX
Thoughts whelm the m

Birthdays


I'm trying to remember something I had on my mind earlier today.

Sometimes we don't talk.
Sometimes our hour long conversations are occupied with nothing but our hums to songs.
I think it's usually a writer's reference.

I really wish i could empty my thoughts during the night into a horrible dream and wake up with a set of rolling eyes to recollect all my thoughts that had been transmuted into a chain of events. It might have led to trauma, but only in the sense of damaging my ego.

Er, Hi Solomon.
Hey W O R L D

The Cartoon Life...

I GOT A NEW MOVIE...Death Note II...it's a bit different from the Anime..and i still need to get Death Note, so I can see the whole story...but it's like the whole anime chopped into two movies...its long...and slow at times..but its 4ever DOPE...


8/25/09

Shopping On The Internet...

...is way easier than going out & around looking for the right thing, 1 because it's easier to type in what you want and find it rather than go from store to store (especially on ebay), 2 because you find way lower prices than in the stores (especially on ebay), 3 no tax, and 4 is simply because you save money in every factor that would be used to go get your equipment...

for example, (i will use my story)...
say you want an MPC 500, and the retail price everywhere is 599.99($600 dollars)...and you don't have to pay any shipping, but you have to spend money on gas, am i right?...okay, say you also want a CF card($59.00 retail price) and memory expansion($159.00-akai prof.)...that's a lot of money for some computer chips man...so you want to have a nice little full production studio without needing a computer...it'll cost you a little more that $800...

WOWIE...lets break this down the solomon way, using ebay...

now you find a seller that sells your MPC for $600 (free shipping) [remember we dont do anything thats not free shipping, unless its $3-$5 at the most and the product is cheap]...BUT...it also comes with your CF card and memory expansion...brand new and all that...but...you think about it and say...wait a second...i can get a CF card [free shipping] for $18...
0_0! SCORE...and what about ur memory expansion...!!! i can get that for $20...[free shipping]..and its not made by akai prof. but its memory expansion all the same...and it WILL fit and work..how do i know that, we'll get to that in a second...

now your thinking hey hold on...thats still 600 + 18 + 20...which is $638...i might not have that all by next check..well i can wait and get it later...NOOOO u dont have 2...see...now you go back to the MPC 500 page...u see 600...u see 500!!! GASP 499.99...ALL FREE SHIPPING...hm hmm... some used..some new...(now idk about ya'll but i dont like it unless its brand new)...OH MY GOSH...lOOk...its BRAND NEW being sold by "new_items_only" its $480.00 and it has free shipping...which would mean my total would end up at $518.00 for everything i want!!!!!!...OH MY GOSSHHH...

now hold on one second...look at the numbers next to the sellers name...look at the star...and look at the percentage of good ratings...i only buy from people with 98% at the least...and even then...i check their feedback from others...(people say A++ seller and stuff like great deal and just as described..and only has a few bad comments(like one or 2 from the last 12 months) because people are haters...but within the last 6 months...the seller has been the perfect seller..all positive feedback...thats when you know that you ARE buying that product from them...

so you see...you saved about $220 on an MPC through ebay...$140 on memory expansion through ebay...and $30 on a CF Card through ebay....All through ebay...

you'll need a paypal account, which is an even safer way to buy online...see i have a Visa Debit Card and all that so its simple to link my bank account to my paypal and send funds into my paypal to be used online...smart...so if you're going to shop online...

Just Remember These Three Simple Rules
1.Only Buy From Free or VERY Low Shipping
2.Always Check Seller Feedback
3.There's Always A Lower Price

A weekend well diserved...part 2

ok so saturday...i got up...relaxed 4 a bit...cleaned the hall way?...cleaned the kitchen man -_-...then grabbed a bunch of my vinyl records and went to chill in my garage...listened to a buncha different songs...i played this "Malcolm X Speaks To Young People" record...and at the same time played a track that i did on my dads "Phantom X7 (Keyboard Workstation)" that was fun...he would be talking over the track then i'd put my fingers to the record and u hear, era-era-freely-era-era-era-freely... you digg??...then i put on another beat that i had did..and got my favorite JAZZ album..McCoy Tyner_Expansions...and then i played the 1st and best track on there..."Vision"...the beat i did had piano playing and such as well as i beat...i went to the last for bars of the beat which was just the drums and looped it again...now i had 8 bars of sweet Jazzy Drums...i slowed down the drums to about 70 bpm as the tempo i think?..stopped the song..moved it to the 1st of the 8 bars...then played "Vision"..waited for the right timing then BAM pressed play..and my drum loop over this song was beautiful...i had already planned to sample it...but i'll also do what i did that saturday too...wowie man..that made me happy....

an hour later i called marilyn up..2 see what was up 4 the afternoon...not a suprised that she had plans..."she wants to move"..then i called up Mylo..asked what he was up too..turns out he was going out with his mother..which made all SEEM hopeless...a thought poped up (thanks to marilyn)...AARON LORICK...my friend..so i called him up (lucky for him) because his little brother was having a sleep over with a bucha 9 year old kids..and aaron could not handle it..he accepted my offer

later that day...at like 8 o clock..we went to go pick up Aaron..we went to the bridge with my mother and 13 year old brother...e and aaron split from them and went to check ou stuff inside of nordstrom..looked at some stuff and headed out...next door was steffanos so we went to get in line and get some pizza...(around this time mylo had made contact with my mother..turns out one of the places he was going to go with his mom was the bridge..and he came at arond the same time as us...so we're eating pizza..and gay bob sneaks up on me like Hello Sir(or something like that lol)..so he sits we eat we talk we laugh blah blah..we get up and head...to go find something to do...first place we went must have been one of the venders...i think...idk...so this part may be out of order...but we went to the vendor..i found a ring with this cool design that reminded me of madlibs ring...which is why i call it my madlib ring...feels really GOOD to have a job...the ring was $2 anyway...that was nothing...wat was the pizza and drink 5.50? or something....yea..i had plenty on me =)...we arrived at this other store down stairs...me and mylo went crazy when we found G-Shock watches(that i had seen in my complex mag. for $100) for 15 dollars..even if it wasnt exactly REAL REAL..grow up how Fake could i be...anyway..i had a hard time deciding whether i wanted that for an easy $15..or this belt of Rastafarian colors (Red, Gold, Green)..for $6...even tho it was cheap..i did still think about the fake factor..as did Mylo...we went into borders several times...cuz Borders is actually a really cool place to be at..for me...a nice relaxed environment...Mylo ended up finishing his collection of Saul Williams poetry books by purchasing ",said the shotgun to the head" (my favorite of the 3)...i on the other hand...went back and got my Rasta on...now if i went back today i probabl would get that G Shock..probably this up coming saturday cuz i get my check friday..but i wana go to the grove this time but idk....still..i was happy with my belt...since i lost my rasta necklace..(it fell of my neck somewhere)..

I Got A Rasta Belt & Rasta Band, I'm A Rasta Man...and before the summers over i'll get some Rasta colored outfits together...including some home made shirts...ofcourse.........

anyway i had fun that night...I'm gonna make this summer end with a bang though man you'll see.................school in two weeks...and not one book ordered...or thing on supply list gotten..-__-...still not worried at all...I'm out...PeAcE

A weekend well diserved...part 1

well i'll start off on wednesday...i got a new needle for my turntable =)...then almost broke it again on thursday...got kind of frantic over that...but yea
...okay, so then, friday, i ordered an eddie murphy 45"...it should be here soon along with my 1/4" adapters...
thursday was like the most hectic of my days...i was having trouble getting money off my mind...it was all i could think about..pay check, buying this, buying that...but i was able to calm down later that night...back 2 friday...
i was supposed to go on this field trip with my agency and get paid 50 dollars...unfortunately a lady said i would not have been able to be picked up like my mom and i had planned to do so i could go to my talent show...(-_-)..but it was cool...i went to work and earned more hours...resent my time sheet then went home..changed clothes..then i was off to santa monica...Mylo had no way of getting there...so Sly was going to have to say his verse on A-B Selection..once i got there tho...my eyes went like this 0_0..because i found out that the time of the talent show had been changed to 11 o clock am...instead of 2pm...fortunately...Sly had show up...and Alexa, Rachel, and Jesseka were there...sooooooo, we walked down to the promenade..talked..laughed...blah blah..got some food..and had an over all good time..Sly caught the bus somewhere..then Alexa's sister was able to come and pick us up...(DOPE)...and so yea


THEN Marilyn comes(she's not really THAT ugly)..we talk figure out what we're gonna do...technically..all we did for about an hour and maybe a half..was walk around..on an adventure thinking we would find something..but NOOO....we ended up going to Alex Farr's house...and..playing chess? lol yea..i won...which is odd because im not good at all....then we walk back to her bus stop say our goodbyes...for probably ever 'til school starts...never the right time =(..and i go back to the club..my dads ther.e.i go home..blah blah blah that ends my friday night kinda...

OH, while out with marilyn i got this months "Complex" magazine..it's d-d-d-d-DoPe...Kid Cudi and Keri Hilson occupy the covers...
yea friday turned from almost totally lame to totally un-Same...meaning it was different than ur average day...well..anyday in the life of LooFy/Solomon/W.E. is not ur evrage day..(atleast marilyn showed up)

FridaY...

as i planned, i went to USC with the urban media foundation...had a good time there...my mom picked me up after that and we went to go pick up my check...got it...appearantly worked 47 hours...but i have reason to believe that that was actually MORE THAN 50...im going to take it up with the super visor i always work with my agency though, since she's cool...either way...AFTER fxckin tax was cut...i made $347.24...IF i saved all of it...in one more paycheck i could get that MPC..but im probably going to wait until my last check to get it...which is the Friday after school starts...and oh my god they took off $28 tax combined...cuz they take off regular tax or something like that..and then health care...-_-...which is sus..cuz i originally had $375.and some cents...but hey..thats life...i went to the bank of america in watts which was crowded..but this black dude helped us get out quicker than we probably would have..i thanked him for that...he started my new student account and such..saved $200 in my checking....and $55 in my savings...walked out with $92.24...ended up giving my mom $12..2 dollars 4 some candy...and 10 for gas..but hey it feels good to have it...plus the money i make from selling incense..OH and i got a temporary debit..and my other debit is on its way...which im stoked for.........

later after cleaning my room i went over mylos house...which is where i still am..chillin...


only bad part about friday i'd say is that i didnt get to tell my bestfriend about my day v_v..you know...like u can see how excited i am..but i wanted her to like hear my voice and HEAR....the feeling u know mang.....and i just enjoy talking to her..even if it wasnt on the fone...i probably would have had more fun typing all of this to her instead of on here...mm, well thats life...

Ofcourse...

getting a turntable automatically adds a new hobby to my life...what would that be???
survey says...
you guessed it!
...collecting old (and new but mostly old) vinyl albums...old ones are cheaper...
why have a turntable and have nothing to listen to on it...???
so i'm now a vinyl album collecter and i must say,
"My Vinyl Weighs A Ton"

so for the past two weeks (since i've had my turntable) i've been gathering vinyl...
how you ask? well...i think we all know the classic term, crate digging...mainly in my garage and the pawn shop (which is why i gave my self the monicker "pawn shop crate digger") cause that's what i do...ofcourse in the pawn shop it wasnt as simple as digg and take..i had to buy-_-...but in my garage and at my grandparents house i found A LOT of good ones...and put them in MY crate...I hadn't bought ANY album in a long time, until last week when i purchased, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers's "Witch Doctor"...

the night i gathered the most vinyl though was the night Mylo (X) came over...and we were in my garage 'til almost 12...(Official Crate Digger Status) my mom even found me a crate of my own and i spray painted it...i didnt take any pics of it yet though...just the tub that i had 1st
