Silbo Gomero language

My internet adventures always lead me to learn something new. After reading about a Puerto Rican reggaeton artist, I somehow eventually landed upon a site about the Silbo Gomero language. (don't ask how) The Silbo Gomero language is quite interesting in that it utilizes the phonetics of whistles as a system of communication. If you love languages like I do, you will enjoy this. Click it and watchhh

it's loud out here and i want some quiet.

Most of my close comrades know that I don't like going to my family's house in Pennsylvania for winter break (can't call PA home - still a TX baby), but the winter nights of Los Angeles actually do get cold, and sometimes all you want to eat is that last bit of leftover food from your family kitchen at 2 in the morning. [Long sentence/so what/EdgarAllanPoe did it all the time too]. I took this picture at a MLK day parade over in Leimert Park a few years ago, and it always makes me smile/getfuzzyinside/reminisce. Because I don't quite remember the faces, I like to think that a happy exchange was taking place. (Also, the body language can be sorta implied). Anyway, this photo kinda reminded me of what (the media wants us to think)we all long for during these commercialized holidays - a return to family. For those of us who are fortunate enough to run back home where love exists - cherish it. For those of us who can not, find that warm space of love within yourself - and run to it. Run to love.

Gem I Found.

If you can get past the beads and shells on his head and listen to this song, I think you'll feel the same tingle I felt when I heard this song earlier today.

Finals time. . .

. . . and I'm stressed.

Thanksgiving break was wonderful though. The namesake of this blog hosted me again, and as always, it was a wonderful experience filled with familial love. I like living in LA, but it's always nice to visit the Bay Area to brave the 'cold' and feel the liberalness float through the air.

I haven't forgotten about you beloved readers. I am here for you. Are you here for me?

appreciate this.

if you know me, you know why i love this. lol.

im studying tonight (all-nighter perhaps?) so that i can hopefully get that paper soon. this whole 'student life' is gettin kinda old. if i have to raise my hand and act like i care what the professor says much longer i may go crazy.
