in transit

annoying things in life.

- this computer wont let me upload pictures
- my flight was delayed three hours
- thats actually about it.
- oh and the dude next to me on the flight to lax smelt reeeally bad.

im in california at my uncles house. he moved to a condo right on the beach. ill do photo updates as soon as i'm near a computer that can actually do them.

quote of the day:

"i watch law and order. i know the seven boroughs. queens, the bronx, harlem, long island, and staten."
- my uncle rick.

last day in NY before CA!

SO today is my last day in new york for a long time and i wanted to make the best of it. i hung out with my dad (hes not coming to cali with me) and caught up with a few friends.started my day off in flushing queens.

met my pops at this spot, one of his favorite restaurants ever.

i had trouble deciding between the intestine pig blood and the "pock chop."

that's my dad.

he's one of those dads.

went to say goodbye to natalie at diesel soho where she works, she was trying to tell me there arent any photos allowed in the store.

ran into my friend. actually i just met this dude but he is a friend of my friend that i ran into.

will rivera is awesome. yasemin is an old friend of mine.

i <3 will

lovebirds.

that bad is worth $2500 and yasemin paid every cent.

at some hookah bar across from TF.

attempting an artsy picture.

yasemin had control of the camera at some points.

best friends since '04.

lol i told yasemin i knew those kids so she took a picture. you can't see but its adrian vega and some other hotties.

on the phone with my mom

after the hookah we walked like 5 blocks and i realized i left my bag at the hookah bar. so re ran back. this is yasemin running.

i got my bag back. this is me out of breath

this woman makes my night every time. she is a 7 train regular and plays "la kukaracha" on her little recorder.... perfectly.... everytime. she's fabulous.

goodbye new york!

definitely not pants.

i was super bored all day today watching tim and eric's awesome show and packing for my trip when i realized, i don't have any shorts. i hate shorts. they are so ugly. why were they invented. they dont even look good on men, or kids. anyways, i cut my leggings up as a shorts alternative.
(topshop shirtdress, norton mcnaughton blazer, bree's belt that im never returning, my AA diy leggings, DRU thrift store wedges)
by the way those of you who know me know that i am in love with the only white kid that works at the supermarket in my neighborhood. anyways i hit on him today and he was shocked.

also, never ever watch the movie "cannibal holocaust." it is illegal in several countries but of course my brother the computer genius had to get ahold of it, and i couldn't help but watch it with him. several real living creatures were actually slaughtered on the set, including a snake, a giant turtle, a pig, and a muskrat. it's super graphic and if you love animals like i do then it's not the film for you. there are also some gruesome scenes that involve cannibalism but they didn't have near the same impact on me as the animal scenes did. the movie was definitely vomit-inducing at points; even the people making the movie vomited on the set (my brother read about this).
anyways, fuck animal cruelty, i'd much rather watch people suffer.

upcoming agenda, nothing too exciting.

i leave for california in 2 days. i like to believe that i belong there, despite the fact that i hate driving and couldn't even afford any of the areas that i'd consider living in. i'm going to be visiting family all over the place and i'll mainly be in the santa barbara area.
above is a photo of me and my 2nd cousin lanu, during my last trip to california. i was 17 in the picture.. and lanu has a baby now!

i am beyond excited to leave new york. i might meet my bgf spencer there too. bgf = best gay friend.
