Land of Talk

This band is great.

Artist: Land of Talk
Song: May You Never




I went to Kansas City this past weekend. Second time this school year. That place is a twilight zone for beautiful women. One girl walked past me and it tickled my love reflex causing me to groan just by the sight of her. I dont believe in love at first sight but if she made me groan, there's a connection right? I was too scared to talk to her but I imagine she groaned after seeing me too. If not, love isn't real.


LOVE ISN'T REAL UNLESS IT CAN MAKE YOU GROAN,
andrew

Hollywood isnt really that sweet. kinda pissed.

Remember when I told you that I was hired as stand-in in Abigail Breslin, Brittney Snow, and Joel Moore's new movie? Well here are some pictures from backstage. The first one is of Britney Snow getting totally pissed at me. Here's the dialogue that caused her to be pissed as balls.

Brit: Why can't you just love me?
Me: Sorry Brit.. er... It's you, not me.


(this is when they were filming a concert scene.)




Here's the producer's sound mixing station thing.


Cool beans. I'll probably be in a new Peter Fonda movie too. Filming on set Sept. 26. I'll keep you updated.

by the way, WALE was confirmed for the new Jay-Z blueprint 3 tour. I know this is old news, but I've been behind in posting. Sorry!

Sorry Brit...it's you. Not me,
Andrew

The Men Who Stare At Goats trailer, and whats up kansas city?

This movie comes out November 6th and it stars Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, and Kevin Spacey. Looks effing hilarious.



Here's my cellphone camera documentation of my adventure to Kansas City this past weekend. I love bumper kartz by the way.

Oh and you can see lazy eye up the wazoo in these pictures. I promise I dont actually look that ridiculous. It's just that my camera is out to get me. Dang you camera... dang you.






Much Love,
Andrew

WEST COAST TOUR DAY AND NIGHT 3 & NEW IMOGEN HEAP SONG: Today was autistic

Here's the cool update for the day. Imogen Heap (you might know her as that one lady who sings Hide and Seek) is releasing her third solo album in August entitled Ellipse. This is her first single from the CD called CANVAS. The video, to me, is epic and the song is great too. It makes me wish I was on an escapade through the mountains of snow in order to find my long lost soul-mate while fending off vampires that want to eat all my lollipops. Yup.


Today was third installment of my tour in California. The entire day was spent in San Diego, which is beautiful by the way. Before we touch that subject, did my outfit look like something Kanye West would wear?


Because I totally wasn't going for that look...

Anyway, back to San Diego. If any of you actually know me, you'd know my family is GIGANTIC. Just made of insane proportions. I mean, think about it... I'm Asian. It's like a prerequisite that I have at LEAST 43 different first cousins... and that's only first cousins. Today was spent meeting up with my great uncles, aunts, first cousins, some other person I don't know how I'm related too, and some other people I'm related to. We hung out and went to my second cousins house. She takes care of Autistic children. It was freaking awesome seeing how people lived in San Diego. It's an entire new world here compared to Iowa.

My second cousin, the one who cares for those autistic kids, also has two children of her own. Here's the pictures I took while we were playing together. Oh, and by the way, these kids were absolutely insane. The amount of energy these kids had was comparable to drinking 23 Surge cans while digesting every Starbucks drink with espresso. These kids were probably pooping energy.


This is A.J... He's seven. The oldest of my second cousin's kids. I took this picture while he was telling me about how he has 3 different girlfriends, which he managed to slip in while telling me a story about how his best friend got hit in the "nuts" by a baseball.


This is Adrian, the youngest. He's one. He also has a soft spot for Dora The Explorer and Buzz Lightyear. He's cute.


This a picture of the two kids setting up "house bowling". We never got to bowl because Adrien kept knocking the "pins" down.


These next two charming lads are two autistic kids they care for. The first is Albert, he's a pretty bright kid who can either be completely out of control and scream random things (and run away from home) or just shut off the autism and be completely quiet and normal. The next kid is CJ. He's mute and never talks I guess. I tried to get him to say hi to me. I don't think he liked me much, but he did wave. He has trouble doing anything unless you order him to. For example, when he poops and finishes, you have to tell him to pull his pants up and leave the bathroom, or he'll just sit there for hours. Pretty sweet.



I'm sick of uploading the other pictures... so here's a bunch of Adrien. HE'S SO KEWT. OMGOMG.




Welp, that was most of the day. Not too exciting but I'm fine with it. After that we went to another mall where I picked up two pairs of skinny Levi's jeans and a shirt from H&M. I've spent $200.00 in the last two days. FML>>>...



Another thing; there's a lot of cute and beautiful girls here. None of them are white though! Gosh this world is so different from Iowa. I hardly see any white girls. All the girls here are good looking though. Alas! Not as good looking as my girls in Iowa though. Especially you. Hold me to that. I'm not even kidding!


Seriously, you guys are the cutest,
andrew

WEST COAST TOUR DAY AND NIGHT 2 & NEW JAY Z SONG: All the people say...

To start things off, here's the new Jay Z song featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. Kanye rips this track in half, his verse is by far better than Jay's. Ridiculous! I'm pumped for this album along with Cudi's and Hudson's. It's called RUN THIS CITY. LISTEN TO IT!



I think the biggest thing that you'll realize when you venture into a bigger and more foreign world is how different the people are. I mean, this is a BIG idea. When you walk around Pella, Iowa or even Iowa in general you see a lot of the same; farmers, regulars, buff frat kids, nerds, fatties, skinny, and emos. In California, everyone is so cool. Every single ethnicity is represented while culture walls are broken down. Emo kids are hanging out with preps and they dress 452 times cooler than we WISH we could dress. Skateboarders are holding hands with la-coo-coo-racha girls sporting the new Juicy Couture line. I love this place. I love trends and fashion. I love acceptance of everyone. I love different worlds. Sometime, if it's possible, I want to put my soul in their shoes and see what they think of Pella, Iowa. Wow. Crazy idea. Rotten idea of the night= girls with fake boobs! Don't get me wrong, I love all parts of a woman, but fake? COME ON BABY! Love what our designer gave you!

Today was spent in the Palm Springs area


Since it was Sunday, it wasn't very hopping, which was disappointing. I can see why all the Cali peeps love partying here. Every other shop was a bar equipped with a sick sound system, live band or disco ball. Disco ball...PARTY!

Palm Springs also featured the two of the world's largest things... first, the world's largest wind farm!


In my last year of debate, the subject was about alternative energy sources. It was incredibly weird knowing I used to talk about this farm everyday for three months... then realizing I was staring right at it, two years later. TIME-WARP. This place is sweet, the film Seven filmed there! Fact of the week right there.

The area also had the world's "largest" outlet mall. Pretty cool stuff. Most of our friends would have gone gaga there. Shops included: Nike outlet, Puma outlet, Gucci, Prada, Juicy Couture, Polo Ralph Lauren, regular Ralph Lauren, 20 Starbucks,Lacoste, Armani, Gap, Zumies, Movado shop, and whatever else kind of thing you like. I spent a lot of money there. Like too much money there. I almost got everyone a Coach bag, but the line was too long and you're not worth that time. KIDDING! I wish I was crazy rich so I could wear what I wanted. I'd look so good.



I did get a new watch though, the collection is growing...


Anyway, while I was hanging out with the kids in the 20 minute wait Starbucks line, I realized that I suck at getting what I want (I mean I get whatever I don't want, but everything else...dang!). Like really bad. But right now, I just wish all of you were here with me now. Someday friends, when we rule the world, this can be one of our many playgrounds! Ch CH chCH cheCk it outTtT!



Love you and wish you loved me back,
andrew

WEST COAST TOUR DAY 1: Greetings, live from somewhere.

Here's the introduction on how posts will work for the next week.
I'll be posting about my west coast tour around the Las Vegas, Nevada and Palm Springs, California areas with pictures and stories, and this will hopefully give you an idea of what I get to witness, feel, or see on this vacation.

Here's my computing station I'm using. It's located in Moreno Valley, California (CAALLLLIIIIFOOORNNIIAAA, HERE WEEEEEE COOOMMMEEEE).

I feel so grown-up utilizing the hotel desk like it's my office. It's a dream come true, really.


First and foremost, shout out to my awesome friend Clayton Boeyink. Previously, I was sweating the fact that my iPod (Snickerdoodle, was her name) past away right before the trip. I was quite petrified thinking about traveling to the coast without means of music, all hope was lost. Luckily for me, I have amazing friends who lend helping hands. Clayton's iPod is beautiful, full of music that I wished I had. Mixtures between beautiful music, to Boys II Men, to pop punk, to childhood emo favorites, to hip hop, and back around again. Thanks Clayton, I wish you knew how much that meant to me man! The only downfall to this, I've been wanting to constantly listen to JoJo's Leave (get out) song. In fact, every time I do not listen to the song, I start sweating profusely and nervousness creeps in my bones harshly. Signs of withdrawal. Not good.


So far the trip has consisted of traveling. Lots of it. Here's the count
1. 3 hour drive to Kansas City Intl' Airport. A.K.A crappiest airport ever.
2. 3 hour flight to Phoenix, Arizona. I hate flying.
3. 45 Minute flight to Las Vegas, Nevada. I really hate flying.
4. 6 hour drive to CAAAALLLIIIIIFORNIA. (home of Lo from Laguna Beach, I like her)

We've been traveling with this rental SUV. The SUV screams "call me, so I can make it juicy for you".



Here's the skyline covered by desert hills. Beautiful, I wish I could take you here with me :)


Well, I'm off to go to the pool and see if anyone there wants to chat about life. I'll see you guys on the flip side. If I could have one wish right now, I'd wish all of you over here so we can party. MISS YOU.

p.s. Have you ever seen this sign in real life? I know you've seen it on T.V. or pictures, but this is my third time driving by it, in real life, in my entire life. Comment me and tell me if you've ever been to Vegas. If not, then I pinky promise to take you here sometime. Especially YOU.... you know who you are.



Leave! Get out! Right Now!
