Mandatory Hat Fix/I Still Need a Good Pair of Sneaks

So I got an internship in DC this summer...I'll spare you the details, and inundate this post instead with hats and other fashion related things.


Two beautiful hats rockin' the flannel. I'm really tempted, especially with the second because it'll actually probably come in handy at the 'Hearst, but I'm really hesitant to rock hats with teams/locations that I don't like or am from...and Oakland isn't exactly high up on my list of places where I want to live (as wonderful as it may be).

I really like the faded logo on this one...simple yet, it has some sort of weird 1994 retro feel to it that I'm totally digging. Too bad, it's SF though...(The Giants are the arch rivals of the Dodgers).

Perhaps it's time to do away with all that crap and just indulge in these hats....fashion is fashion I suppose.

Speaking of reppin' where you're from, I'm thinking about picking up one of these (albeit a bit ugly) Cal State University Fullerton hats...to well...you know...rep the conservative bastion that is Fullerton. hahaha

Actually these shoes would probably go really well with the second design:

I thought these were really fresh too. I first saw'em at Holyoke Mall this past spring break, and really wanted to pick up an Elmo or one of the TMNTs, but found myself to be disgustingly broke. :[



Also, Flight of the Conchords love right now...as in well....

Musical comedy will always be fine by me!

Some other miscellaneous sweaters/hoodies:


Also in the fresh sneaker department, totally check out Creative Recreation. Here are some designs that I'm diggin' at the moment.



Speaking about clothes:

Currently listening to Far East Movement's "Fetish"


P.S.

Been watching the NBA playoffs lately...Lakers are not doing as well as I'd like them to be, but it's happening. the series is tied at 2-2 and the games are moving back to LA so I think the boys will be playing well again. I'm fairly confident we'll beat the Nuggets. The big story right now though is Caveliers and Magic. Everyone thought LeBron would just dominate, but Magic is showing itself to be quite the team back East. It's got a 3-1 stranglehold on Clevlend right now and things are looking grim for the Cavliers.

I'm thinking LA and Miami this year, but we'll have to see.

Rainbow Sprinkles

Are we ever truly who we claim to be?
I took a big bite into my ice cream cone
The cold rich taste of vanilla caking the roof of my mouth
As rainbow sprinkles exploded into bouts of chocolate
Adding color to a fading sky,
The sun was about to set.

Sitting on the stoop,
I leaned upon the dirty gray stairs,
Just high enough so that my feet still dangled
Like when I was five,
And carpenters and factories
Didn't really cater to my size.

I had made talk about doing this for a long time now
Soaking in the sun and thinking big thoughts
Passersby would pretend not to look
As they hurriedly shuffled by looking busy
But would steal a glance or two,
Wondering what was going on inside.

But instead of plans on how to end world hunger
Or even contemplations on how blue the sky seemed
My thoughts would always turn back to you,
The words you said to me, eyes unwavering
And the words I imagine you would've said,
If you had passed by me today, on that dirty stoop.

In defiance, I'd shoot back
Quick one liners aimed straight for your heart
Hoping to mark that final blow
To "X" this problem out
Once...
And for all.

But dreams can't fly to where they do
Unless they've left someone behind, to patiently wait
Back here on this lonely rock
Otherwise they'll just cut and drift away
And we ourselves would never wake
Only to mumble our way through the rest of this awkward silence.

And so I know, exactly...
What I'd say to you
Eyes lowered, and muttering
Wanting to be brave, trying to be fair...
Afraid that you'd leave the room
With more than just hair in your eyes...

Matted from sweat...
Dizzy from grief...
A knot in your chest...
And dumb from disbelief

That such a thing could happen...
To you or me.

You know it's always surprising, at least to me
As you get to the last bits of an ice cream cone.
Just how much ice cream actually gets inside one of those things
And how unexpectedly, sometimes you'll find a rainbow sprinkle
Swimming at the bottom of the cone
When you were all but sure that you had eaten every last one of 'em.

It was warm today...
So I had some ice cream.

Premature List of Empty Goals For This Summer (To be added onto)

1. Learn how to longboard/skateboard
2. Start and Finish America Is In The Heart
3. Study for the LSATS

Singing songs you'll never hear
As you drift slowly in place
Sea of blue, sprawling sands

Wander tonight, to distant lands, travel far.

But once morning breaks return to me,

And tell me about what you've seen.

I'll be waiting here for you at this cove:

Singing.

uh oh spaghetti-o's
