the first blog in 3 years...

To my own surprise, I find myself blogging yet again. I just noticed that some of my cool friends have started, so I thought, maybe I can try to be cool like them. Online Journal thingy-majig..


Today was yet another boring Monday for me. Got up early to take bus-bart to work(for those who don't know my car has been out of commission for the past 5 months, wow!) and did my daily routines and tasks. It wasn't until the end of my shift that my good friend J.P., comes to sweep me up from work to hang out. We did some grocery shopping for his mom then headed to the park near his pad to chill. Like any other day, we decide to fire up a bowl or two. That was when both of our minds expanded and started to have these faded conversations about life: the topic for today, "what era or revolution will follow up with our current one?, which is the technology revolution" (yes nerdy convos we have, but on the contrary, these convos our beneficial to our insights and views of life, for us to better understand the outer bounds of the norm.) So we have our mini-debates, but came to the conclusion that in the next 50 years, we will soon be witnessing the colonization of space, specifically on the moon and on mars. If you haven't been catching up to the news anytime recently, 5 countries are now in a space race: Japan, China, India, Russia, and of course, the U.S.of A. We even brought up the idea of how soon it would be until we hear from the first hip-hop artist from space. It might be us! who knows! 6SenseBXC in space! wow what an imagination. The Space Revolution, be prepared for it!

So It was 5pm and J.P. had work in 30mins, time to head to BayFair BART to head home. I realized that for the past 2+ Months using public transportation, I was given the chance to actually experience a REAL commuter atmosphere(rather than driving through traffic on the expressways) and see all these different faces and characters. You don't know how many times I've encountered seeing people I once knew from my younger past. Teachers and Students from High School, Elementary, or even from old jobs I used to have. Its kinda cool to also see the people you regularly commute with in the mornings and then through the early evenings. I don't say anything to them, but I'm pretty sure they recognize me on the same buses and trains I ride in. Seeing these strangers often, I wonder what lives they live. Seeing the expressions on their faces says a lot. I wonder...

So I get to Fruitvale BART and hop on the 53-Line. 3 Stops later I see my grandma hop on, I had to go sit next to her and say what's up. I startled her when I said hi, but she was more than delighted to see me. Seeing my Lola made my day, because it's not every so often that I run into her.

Each day I try to collect memories and store them as best I could. Maybe this blog can serve as a journal, not just for myself, but for you all as well...I wish I could continue on, but like I've said in some of my songs, time is of the essence...plus I have work early in the morning, need that sleep. that good, good sleep.
