RIP 24, Smallville should be next.

I just read 24 is being canceled. This is its last season. I'm kinda sad about it but I think it's time. For me this last season has been the worst season of 24. It's like they really just ran out of ideas, but I understand, I mean how creative can you get telling the same story over and over again.

Smallville also needs to be canceled and I actually liked the later seasons. For me, after they got rid of Lex and Lana, the show was over. I barely watched the season after and finally just completely stopped. Clark should finally become Superman and the show should come to its logical end, but then I'd be forced to watch the last few seasons.

Weezer...

I didn't realize how much I liked Weezer until two things happened.

1. I saw them live on the Blink 182 reunion tour and I remember just watching and realizing how much I actually really like Weezer. I didn't realize I liked so many Weezer songs.

2. I heard their kinda new single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" on KROQ the other day. The song was so catchy and put me in a good mood. It was the first song I heard on rock radio in a long time that I really enjoyed.

2010 Album of the Year

That's right, 3 months into the new year and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be picking this album as my album of the year. It's that good. And to think I was a little worried after hearing the cover album.

I did it, Santa Monica 2010

I realized its been two months since I last wrote about wanting to move to Santa Monica and... Jan 4 I officially moved to Santa Monica (well kinda, technically its West LA)! So step 1 of my plans for the future has worked out. I've been in Santa Monica two months now and so far I'm loving it. It's definitely has had its ups and downs though, like going to jail and getting tons of parking tickets, but then I get to do a lot of cool things only LA can offer, there's tons of things to do, and meeting people like this dude who is going to be on an episode of tough love from new york to meeting a guy whos worked on videos with britney spears, flyleaf to meeting another dude who's worked in the music business industry whose worked with rappers.

Technically I moved to West LA which is pretty much right in the middle of Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Santa Monica blvd runs from the beach in Santa Monica all the way through West LA, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood. Sunset Blvd is a parallel street down in Hollywood. All of that is literary down the street from me. I swear I see at least one Bently or a Porsche or a Ferrari or even a Rolls Royce once a day.



A big difference down here is everybody LOOVES Coffee Bean and you see them everywhere here. Same way you'd see Starbucks on every corner in San Francisco.

There's only one country station in LA, well depending in what part of LA you're in. I couldn't find any country clubs like the Saddle Rack down here. It's possible it exist, I'm gonna have to start asking around but I get a feeling there isn't a lot of people that listen to country in LA.

Another thing I've noticed is nobody is from LA lol. I would say a little over half, maybe 2/3's of the people I meet down here moved here from somewhere else. I'd break it down as 1/3 from another country, 1/3 from somewhere else in the US and 1/3 actually from LA.

What I'm really liking is that there's tons of local restaurants. There's almost no point in going to a chain restaurant. I know i'm going to try to avoid them and try all the local places.

The weather is definitely beautiful here. I'm enjoying it way more than the Bay Area. I personally love the sun and other than those two rain storms, its been nothing but sunny.

Why I'm Moving to Santa Monica...

I posted a thing on Facebook saying i'm moving to Santa Monica and got a few people asking why and I realized that I haven't really updated my blog on the whole situation. So in a way this an update to "Nashville and Chasing Dreams"

Quick recap, I'm not gonna be happy with life in the long run unless I'm doing what I love and am passionate about, which is music. In order to do that I've gotta go to college and Belmont University is the best fit for me. I can't get into Belmont University (in Nashville) on my high school grades alone. So I've decided to pretty much go with Option B in my last blog about the situation, which is go to community college in Santa Monica for a year and then transfer to Belmont. Problem with that was it would take me a year and half of community college to get the credits I needed, so I decided to start early, which is why I went to San Jose City College for the Fall semester.

Why go to community college in Santa Monica instead of The Bay Area??

Why the f not. No offense to the bay area, its my home, but i'm kinda bored of it. I'll come back eventually and settle there. For now though, I want to see the world and I'm pretty sure i'll only have when i'm young to do it. I don't have a career or wife and kids holding me down yet. So now's my chance. I've always thought about living in LA, so i'm gonna take this opportunity and take it. Its only a year. Then I move to Nashville for the next three. Then back home to hopefully San Jose or Fremont. During those three years at Belmont though, i'm really hoping I can do the study abroad thing and spend a semester in Australia and another semester in Italy.

Lopez Tonight

I Finally watched Lopez Tonight, tonight. I was hesitant at first because I was worried it was gonna suck. I love George Lopez Stand up, I even want to get a "El Mas Chingon" tattoo. Then he came out with the George Lopez show and for me it was just waaaay to watered down and I thought it sucked. I just couldn't get into it knowing how good his stand up is. It was like listening to a Sesame Street version of Fuck The Police. I assumed the late night show would be the same.... but its not, thank god, its actually pretty good. I might actually start watching Lopez Tonight on a regular basis. :-)

Stewart - Haas Racing

I really like this logo. I think its my favorite in NASCAR as far as racing teams go. Reminds me of Pixars Cars for some reason.

YES man saying NO to FUN....

I've been in school in roughly a month now and i've noticed i'm falling right back into my old habits. Its definitely hard to get home and have friends drinking every night and not want to party with them. I'd say most of my life I'd consider myself a YES man. Even before the movie defined a Yes man. That's why I loved that movie so much. I was always down to try something new, try everything life had to offer. I think maybe thats my problem with getting things done. I want to do homework to learn and pass class, but what if I died at the end of the week and wasted all my time doing homework when I could have hung out with my friends. If I were to live every day like it was my last, than i'd definitely party 24/7. I really have to work on changing my mindset. I have to start learning to say NO. I have to learn to say NO TO FUN. It's gonna be very difficult, but I think I can do it.
