path less traveled

last night i want to the last Self Against City show for the year. it was at the State Theatre in Modesto. i took pictures again. i got some really interesting ones of the boys, as well as some of a new band i just met, A Mover, A Fighter. they were pretty good and i spoke with the lead singer about doing some more pictures for them maybe.


this is clayton. he is absolutely adorable and extremely nice. i could tell he was really excited about the show.


A Mover, A Fighter's lead guitarist. he played the first song with a bow. it was pretty cool.


This is Jack from Self Against City. i usually have trouble getting good shots of him but look at this. he looks great!


Jon, Blake, and Jack all in a row! what a lucky shot!

this is Jeff. usually he is more mellow and quiet but yesterday he was talking and moving around. he had some great energy which allowed me to get some nice shots. i was so proud of him.


i had to put up this picture of blake and jon. i love it.

of course i have a lot more photos but i thought i'd just put these up for a taste. i put up a photo myspace for just my pictures. www.myspace.com/ala_photo. there are more on there. i get really excited when i take pictures. i get even more excited when people appreciate them. and of course seeing the boys is always a huge plus. i even got to see keith!! i missed them all.

I WENT TO THE COLTS VS. RAIDERS ON SUNDAY!!! i got to see payton manning in the flesh. watching him play in person is a whole new experience. it is an amazing one at that.






look at that man work! he is such an athlete. anyways, the colts won, naturally. they just do not loose to teams like the raiders. although i must give the raiders props for making it a close game. they gave the colts a run for their money. going into the 4th quarter the raiders were leading but then the colts scored a touchdown. the whole crowd of black and silver started yelling "bullshit" and most of them began to leave. now, how do they expect to ever win if they just quit like that? exactly.

this week is finals week and i've been studying like a mad woman. tonight is the first night i've been home fro dinnertime in about 4 days or so. i've been at stephen's for studying everyday! i even missed guitar yesterday because my math tutoring with brian ran long! i cannot wait until this ordeal is over. i have my literature final tomorow, which should be easy, and a break for G set. then thursday is the big one, AP US history. o boy. wish me luck.

bluebirds are so natural

Tonight was Open Mic. Clowdus, Albert, and i rocked it for sure. clowdus and i played guitar and sang while albert played some maracas. we played Adam Green's bluebird's. it was quite nice and people liked it. afterwards we all went to nicholas' house and had cocoa and just hungout. it was a lot of fun. i deffinitly want to do open mic again. eden and i are going to do a tegan and sara song next time. that is practically my dream! to do tegan and sara that is. here is clowdus' and my "band" picture. haha. we are pretty hilarious. i put pictures from tonight in my photobucket for people to see. check it out.

TOMOROW IS OPEN MIC NIGHT! clowdus and i are playing an Adam Green song. i'm excited, but a bit nervous. i've never played guitar or sang in front of a large audience. it should be good. we've only been practicing for like a month.


and i get to see this man play on sunday! my cousin brian is taking me to see the colts play the raiders. i am so excited! i will get to see peyton manning do what he does best in the flesh. he will be in the same sports complex as me. it will be so amazing. i'm a little disappointed i can't sport my manning jersey though. the raider's fans would probably kill me, literally. it should be a nice treat before finals week. sooo much studying to do!

feliz cumpleanos

this weekend has been quite interesting. yes, interesting describes it.

friday night was movie night for the indie film club at school. i went to that for awhile but i had to leave at 8 to go to Parker's 17th bday party. it was a lot of fun. i pretty much hungout with erin and theo while we watched superbad. after erin, julia, and sophia left the rest of us hungout. it was cool. made some new friends, among other things.

saturday i went to clowdus' to practice for open mic. it is coming up this friday. that is so soon. i hope we are ready for it. anyways, we went to thriftown. i got brand new keds for 6$. ballin! we saw madylin and decided to pick her up and go to sellout buyout. clowdus bought a shirt and madylin got some sickass light switch covers. after i went home and then my family and i went to have dinner with ralph and alice. they are some family friends who we see like once a year. interesting, i guess.

today i went to the folsom outlets with emily and my mother. we didnt buy anything. honestly, inside of Off 5th i see more things that i can't comprehend why you'd make them than things that have potential buying value. i was supposed to have lunch with julia but she had to run errands with her mother. i went to arden with my mom instead. i got a neat dress to wear for open mic. the stupid bubble hem needs to be taken out though.

tomorow i have school. it is "dead week" which is supposed to mean only review for finals but none of the teachers actually follow that rule. i have about 3 tests, not to mention ms. cassetta's essay due friday. ewwww.

all these rocky mountains

i am officially a licensed driver of the state of CA. i passed!! i'm so happy. even better, i only missed one. i was a little worried i wouldnt but everything was fine. now i can just live life in the fast lane.....i know i'm lame.

note that there is a new link in my links to visit or whatever it is called section. it is my pictures! i have edited more from the show and added them. please look and leave me a comment on here!

our purpose is clear

OMG! last night was the Self Against City show at Club Retro and it was absolutely amazing. of course all of SAC Attack was there in full force. we did so well with the turnout. the boys were extremely happy. we all hungout before and after the show. it was great. i also shot some photos. well, some is quite the understatement. i took 359 shots throughout the entire night. i'll post a few on here. i have to photoshop some and watermark them.


Jon is just so photogenic. i get so many amazing pictures of him. the way he moves and his facial expressions just come across so great on camera. and then there is Blake...jk! i love blake. he is quite the entertainer. he dances around and drives the ladies crazy.


jon again, but this time with an acoustic guitar. blake and jeff are also in the picture. i think its a nice shot because it gets all three of them in there.


This here is Justin. i'd say he is my favorite but they all are my favorite! but i do love talking to him. he is just really cool and an amazing drummer. his kit was so nice last night. i feel bad because it is hard for me to get as many good pics of him.


Jon singing again, of course. and there is Jack wailing on the guitar during Tequila Moonlight. they had some girls from the crowd come up and dance behind the white sheets and you could see their silhouettes. it was cool.
