past the time.

did I read that right. it's been 11 weeks since my last entry.

I've been cutting down the weeknight outings in the past few months, to the point where my life post 9 pm has come to a fervent crawl as opposed to a zealous fiesta.

i'm simply tired.

i woke up this morning at 7:45 am amidst a dream where I was calculating how many hours I worked in a week to which I continued to calculate as my eyelids opened and I saw the rays of painful sunlight hit my cortex. I think I averaged 64. or was it 65.

a project i'm very excited i'm starting is a living breathing journal of Macy Gray documented through recorded video, live streams, and blogs. we should be launching in a few weeks.

I've been meeting new people and running into those from the past in the past week.

met Paul's sister at the Lifehouse show
my cousin visited from Korea and we ended up at Cercle with:
my old friend from Emory named Danny and my younger brother
caught up with Jason, Rick, Bryce and Ben at their show (Lifehouse).

Since the universe is trying to tell me something, I've been making attempts at contacting everyone I haven't spoken to in a while and reconnect.

So hello.

time.

i haven't written much lately. not that my life has been that mundane in the past few months, but i've been avoiding those sites that draw you in to never find your way out until days later. my life has simply become busier. running half dozen art & design schools, overseeing instructors and over 300 students is just the half of it. The FR*A agency has taken off and I'm now faced with more recording artists & clients than my team and I can handle...but I make due; mostly with a half pack of cigarettes and a few beers at night to mercifully nudge myself to an enervating sleep which is only broken by the incessant series of buzzes of my blackberry reminding me that the days and nights are simply just not long enough. I should move to Jupiter where time is irrelevant. perhaps in 50 years or so. or perhaps the timing is simply off.

The Elements Come Together. Pt 1

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:10:38 GMT

whoo...what a weekend. Kirk visited the city of angels with the the Canadians, Howard and Alex, in tow. Or was it Kirk in tow. Regardless, they definitely brought their livers and their uninhibited passion for the bottle. Drinking began Thursday night, a mere half hour after they touched down at LAX at Mike Kang's birthday party on the westside. I took it easy, at the furious cries from my body to give it a break. For that night at least.

Friday night, we ended up at the infamous Velvet Room. Now, Alex has always seemed to have this curse of clearing out normally packed venues whenever he comes to LA. So I feared the worst and expected a club bespeckled with some security guards, a DJ, a few alcoholic girls taking advantage of the promo tables, and the Asian Voltron minus Rain and Paul (see previous post). The gods must have been shining down in favor of Alex this time, as the club was packed and brimming with club goers. Now, it's usually a very bad idea to put all of us together at one time. Normally, with a simple and seemingly innocuous combination of Paul, Ed, and myself, the situation could quite possibly, or actually, inevitably get out of hand. Add 10 more to the mix (Alex, Kirk, Howard, Ray, John, Diana, Debi, Natalee, Mark, Becky) and you've got pandemonium.

7 bottles of goose later:
Alex dancing by himself on the dance floor, Ed reproaching and denying every girl the poor waitress tried to bring to the tables to book the guys, Alex engaging in a staring contest with Heidi, Kirk getting blocked once more by Nat, Kirk rehabilitating from the repeated loss with neon tambourines, 23 songs sung at the norebang, and a Mr Brightside later, we were done. at least for Friday night. Why did I have to wake up in 4 hours.

Dog Fighting Ring

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 01:48:19 GMT

My twinster just told me that I've been the subject of a vicious marketplace buying and selling friends as if they're just cheap pieces of commodity on Friends for Sale. Grace Su, holding an impressive amount of money, continues to buy me, regardless of the efforts of Karin and Akiko to purchase me and place me in a good home.

Until she stops from the egregious acts against my rights, I will own her beloved boyfriend, Daniel Park, place him into the world of dogfighting. He will be trained to fight and kill. He will be conditioned to forget about the human attributes in life such as love, hope, friends and family. He will forget about Grace Su. And he will become the ultimate dog fighter.

It has begun.

funny how it hurts

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:53:33 GMT

Its funny how your heart hurts at the sight of something. It could be something as seemingling innocuous as a cupcake with sprinkles, or an email or as painful as the sight of a light touch of the one you want with the one you truly suspected was never one to contend with her affection. But it is.

In a space of darkness intermittently lit by spot lights, I find solace.

So much has happened in the past 2 months. If it's possible to inject 2 years of time into 2 months, I've just experienced it.
