Post Fall 2011 Semester Reflections

[LIFE]

I've been meaning to update this blog for a while, but I've just been too lazy/too much of a perfectionist (concerning the writing, actually... surprisingly, which tends to happen if I care too much about the subject *Cough* Wong Fu *Cough*)

To keep it concise, I suppose I'll just list some of the highlights of my semester!
- YY :D
- Best college semester grades ever (which for many of you may just be the norm... punks)
- Met Wong Fu Productions :D
- Went to my first Acapella concert (The Stereotypes)--very entertaining!
- Started training at a boxing gym, once a week (yep, on my way...)

Making the Yao-Ming Rage Comic face with Wong Fu
Also... my five seconds of fame, hahah, I asked Phil to give us a dance demo (he used to be on UCSD's hip hop team)



[MUSIC]

I just found out about this British artist: Bluey Robinson. Love his stuff--so classy-funky, with a smooth R&B flavor. (I believe he's up-and-coming, can't find any albums, just collabs and singles.)

Bluey Robinson - Show Girl

Bluey Robinson - 
^so much power and soul in that voice




[DANCE]

A couple of videos that I shot the day I finished finals--I was actually running on about 6 hours of sleep over 48 hours... but, it still turned out pretty well imho. Let me know what you think!

[STYLE]

Yes I've changed the header to "style", as opposed to "fashion".. upon discussion with a friend (he knows who he is). To many the two may be synonymous, but to me.. fashion is fleeting (what is considered "fashionable" is ever-changing) but style lasts.

Style has staying power because only you can truly feel what works for you and what best reflects your identity/personality--you aren't dressing based on what a select few others who are supposedly "in the know" tell you look "good".

On that note.. I just purchased a pair of Red Wings Beckman 6'' Round Boots in Black Cherry Featherstone
The reason? I need a pair of nice-fitting and durable (key word, durable) boots that can be dressed up or down depending on occasion. From what I've read, this brand fits the bill. Expensive? Sure. But if it's going to last me 5+ years through harsh rain and snow (some swear over 10 years) then it's worth it, to me.

I've yet to see how that pans out... free returns though, so nbd. Pics when I receive the shipment.

  3. Vince! Glad you see you are doing well! Is boxing making you super super buff?

    Love how "met someone" is in a tiny tiny font size - I know you want to talk about it! haha. I just wish I could say the same.. and no, the guy in my dream was not the passive passive Japanese kid!

    anyway.. SERIOUSLY, I have the craziest dreams. just last night I dreamed that I was trapped in a mall by a GIANT human-eating canine. The night before that I dreamed my university had a building so long you had to take an indoor monorail to get to the other end. wtf! I could write a book!
