Today was a great day. The weather was near perfect. With the exception of the wind, it felt like a early June day. Figured i'd take the day off from work and just bike through Los. i ate a bunch of good food (Cantor's Deli on Fairfax & Machos Taco's on Vermont). I swear the only thing better than living in L.A. is actually being from here. I'm very grateful to God for this opportunity and blessing. It's funny though, a few hours back i was sitting on my friend's toilet (thank you Yamaj for letting me crash, again) and i realized that soon enough something'll happen that'll take me off this cloud i'm on and put my feet back down on the ground. I'm fine with that. I figure that in itself is Life. You hold on to the bueno for as long as you can and brace your self for when the sour stuff comes. And then you repeat.

I wanna give a special shout out to my buddy Josemar. Happy Birthday!!! Josemar's an old friend and has been a supporter of LP from the get go. He's a big music head. Today's electonic section is dedicated to him. I've tried my best to post tracks that he'd like.

Also, i'd like to announce that Las Palmas will, in a little while, become a website. I'll give you more details later.

Once again, you're gonna have to copy n' paste the links into the url bar.

Happy Tuesday!!

I dont understand why sometimes, what we want so much, we're so scared to work towards. I once read a quote about inertia. I cant remember it exactly but it had something to do with overcoming inertia: getting started, taking the first steps. It's definitely the hardest part. Dunno why though. I cant tell if it's cause of the fear of failure. I dont think it is. I hate going through the learning process but i dont think that's it either. Laziness? Definitely but there's more to it. I think i have commitment issues. I'm not sure what i want to do with my life so i end up doing nothing. It's like not getting with a girl cause your worried that the next girl you meet will be better looking. The downer is most of the time that next girl doesnt show and by then the last girl's already gone.

I dont like Chemistry. It makes my brain hurt. I havent even had my first test and i already know i need a tutor. So if you're a girl that's good at chemistry, attractive, lives in L.A. and has seen "Billy Madison," leave me your contact info in a comment.

i'm using the same comp. but a different browser so hopefully the links'll work fine. If they dont, copy and paste 'em into the bar.

Last week Bhaj told me that my blog has turned into "just a bunch of videos" and that i need to start writing again. The reason i stopped writing was cause i wanted this blog to be about the music rather then me or my opinions. Also, i'm not that comfortable talking about myself or projecting my views on others and i felt that i was doing that whenever i wrote. But Bhaj is right, the blog has become very bland and lacks personality. So im gonna start writing again. I'll try and make it an interesting read, at the very least entertaining. Hopefully, this'll give you more to look forward to. Las Palmas will always be a music first blog, everything else is just more candy in the pinata.

I dunno why the comp i'm using doesnt post the proper web link. Again, copy and paste it into the bar. I'll fix it the first chance i get.
