Thursday i skipped work and went to woodland hills for a job interview at Neversoft the developer for Titles such as Guitar Hero franchise, sadly i didnt get it, since they had me play guitar instead of drums, which i was prepared to do and i couldnt pass the song "hot for teacher" by van halen the intro was just too much tapping and hammer ons. it would be pretty cool though to work for them since thats where they usually do the motion capturing for their guest celebrity musicians like Metallica and some other 3 piece band that i really love but cant say ;) which they had done previously in that location. i finished the interview and i had to mingle for a couple of hours since they express bus didnt go back into effect till two a clock, they operate only in the mornings and rush hour. I waited and while i waited my friends from neversoft actually took me out for their lunch escapade and it was pretty fun though his car broke down for a bit hah.

google maps said woodland hills was pretty far, but it was actually not that bad. i had to take this commuter express bus that boards at the 101 freeway, it was pretty strange and new to me since i couldnt find where it was @. There were these stairs that leads up to the freeway and above is where you board the bus. I snapped couple of pictures from my camera, i thought the stairs was pretty weird looking and the whole ensemble of the setting was pretty radical in my opinion. i've also been taking alot of random pictures alot lately and im thinking of investing in a nice professional camera, my memory card on my phone is gettin stuffed lately and i've been just snapping at everything that i think looks cool, its pretty bad.

After all of that i had to go straight to beverly hills for a haircut with my friend Rex, he works at Tom Brophy salon streets down rodeo Dr. you should come in for him and ask for rex, he's a rad guy and he's trying to get me a job as a receptionist there part time. Though the whole idea of workin in another salon again would drive me insane especially in that particular location, also since i used to work around the same area as a jeweler and it was such a bad memory left.
and now my hair looks like the guy on this pv:


i've been listening to lots of good music lately and i couldnt've been happier and inspired.
if you managed to read all of that, you deserve a high five from me personally, though i might have to give you a rain check for it.
ciao for now.
AHM~

i miss driving in the cold up north
windows rolled down.
i miss driving my friends car through farm ridden freeways full of music equipments with the love of my life sitting next to me playing the last gig of my time.
and on the radio was..

The true musician He grows in wisdom...He is brilliant...He learns to do without and is prepared to make great sacrifices...enormous sacrifices... if I may say...His energy is tremendous... In other words he is prepared for the struggle...and with honesty he shall fight it... The performance of an Art demands complete self-denial... ...It was not meant as a joke what I just said...about sacrifices... The Music makes heavy demands upon those who want to devote themselves in it...This is what I have wanted you to call your attention to... A true musician must subordinate himself his Art; ...he must place himself above human suffering; ...he must draw courage from within...and only from within. - Erik Satie
