Hormones FTW?

This is merely a vent. So, feel free to just NOT read this.

So college apps are winding down. I've come to a decision, I'M LEAVING LA. All of the places where I'm considering going to are 2 hours or MORE away from LA. I even have colleges in the East Coast to consider. It's for my own good. As much as I want to stay here with the comforts of home and the convenience of everything, I don't want to be here anymore. I need a change of scenery. I need a change of everyday faces. I need to be somewhere where I can grow. I can't grow here. I'm being held back waaaay more than you think. I'm sick of not being able to do what I want for once. Some of you may disagree with me because I always seem busy doing something. I'm doing that on purpose to keep me from falling into this depressive state that I've been fighting for THEE longest time. I hate feeling like I'm being judged 24/7, especially here. It's expected from an environment like this but seriously, I'm starting to hate it. Honestly, I'm just being really bitter about the situations I'm in. However, I need to start fresh but, not completely to the point where I totally loose touch with my friends and family I have here. I still want to be able to come back, reunite with saying that "It's Been WAY Too Long!" THAT'S WHAT I WANT. If that doesn't happen, so help me Gawd.

Another thing, people think I'm being inconsiderate due to the fact that I want to move away. Some may say that it'll cost too much. That's where they're wrong. I've been one step ahead of this whole college thing for the last four months. I've got three scholarships in the bag. I've got a part time job lined up and another for the summer. How dare I leave the financial responsibilities on my parents? That's being way to selfish and I know better. SO for those who say that moving away is a bad idea, SUCK IT.

Speaking of responsibilities, I've put waaay too much responsibility on myself over the last year and a half. It's been so overwhelming that I don't know how to handle the work load I have anymore. For now though, I'm going to have to tough it through. If you think I regret doing any of this, you thought wrong. I don't regret anything that I've done because there has been a fair share of fun and excitement from it. It's just hard to balance my time.

Ahhh, it's okay. I only have a couple of months left before deciding where I'm going and what I'm doing.

Until then.

The Aristonians: Class 2010 (SENIOR DVD TRAILER) from Luis Valladares on Vimeo.

and so, it begins. <3

The Low Down

*SPOILERS. Just so you know.

Where The Wild Things Are; Great movie however, not to my full expectations. Giving everyone a warning now, this movie is NOT for kids. During the movie, I looked left and right every once in a while to find the children in the theater bored. What does that tell you?

Basically, the ten lines of the entire book can't be stretched out to make a 100 minute film. Others may object to my claim but the story is about a child who refuses to eat dinner, goes to an imaginary land, becomes king of the Wild Things, and you're done with it. In the movie, the Wild Things are given personalities. Fair. What is not fair is the types of personalities given. Some may argue that each of the characters represent a person in the Real World but, how do you get THAT from a 10 line story book? What is arguable is the reason why Max leaves. But, I'll leave that to your opinion.

Besides the comparison from the book to the movie, the movie did make numerous amounts of parallels from the Real World characters to the Wilds Things. It was envisioned incredibly well and Spike Jonze did a stupendous job by putting it all together. Nonetheless, the film maintains it's pride by beautifully portraying the landscapes along with the wonderful animation of the Wild Things. Humorous remarks and the randomness of it all kept the audience with kicks and giggles.


mhm. wish I actually wrote the article now. booo.

I HAD TO PUT THIS ON BLOGSPOT.

THE MO'FCKING ARISTONIANS.

Today marks the first day I ever felt like a senior.

Recap:

-Senior Overhead: We did the Roman Numeral X. Our shirts said @*:]! It's a random mix but, heeey, you'll know who we are.
-Senior Overview: The preview was ACTUALLY good! Loved it when they revealed prom location. It got me so pumped! I'm proud to say that SCO did a GREAT job this time around.
-BamBam; Thanks to him, we're actually getting a Senior DVD. I'm so glad he's doing it because he's done a superb job over the years.
-COLLEGE; Um, self-explanatory. Mr. Williams talked, other people talked, I fell asleep.
-GRADUATION: We voted for Cap&Gowns! Since our class colors are teal, gold, and white, we got to choose. The vote was unanimous and teal took the win.
-Dance-off?: We had time to kill so, they did a dance-off. One word: FUNNY.

Things to take note of:

-Cap&Gown Color: Teal with a Gold tassle
-Class Name: The Aristonians (The Best Ones)
-PROM: The Grove of Anaheim on June 12, 2010
-Senior Dues: $100
-Senior Activities: fcking GOING to all of them!
-GRADUATION: June 23, 2010 <3

Ahh, the joys of being a Senior.

We'll Do Whatever You Want To.

This marks the beginning of fall. I love gloomy weather. Plus, it's gonna rain sometime soon! I'm anticipating the warmth of the winter, if that makes any sense.

Over Analyzing.

I hope that my assumptions are wrong. I hope that I don’t get shown up by reality. I hope that this isn’t true.

If it is true, I’ll be the wreck I was a year ago. That was horrible. This time, it might be horrendous.

this is all.

The Perilous Adventures on Tuesday Afternoons.

-Yesterday's shenanigans went well. I figured awkward might be a world I should use but, that's not the case this time around. We went to the Americana to study for the SATs this Saturday and to our surprise, we actually did some work. To kill some time, we went to the Galleria. Since Melissa told me that there was a "wanna-be" cue booth there, we ended up taking some Cues! There were a lot more things we did but, I'm feeling lazy to type the rest of it up.
-I'm CRAVING so bad right now. It's not even funny. O.O
-I suppose it's bad but, I really, really like the Gospel Weed Song by Bizarre!
-domflowers.livejournal.com This should be the answers to all of my boy problems! trust me!
-Although it's a pretty bad movie for someone like me to watch but, I'm a bit infatuated with Harold and Kumar: Escape to Guantanamo Bay. I mean, besides the constant cursing, drug usage, sex antics, and nudity, it's a good movie. :P
-I'm almost finished with all of my personal statements and things of that nature. I'm surprised I'm actually on top of all of this. I thought I'd be behind but, I'm actually doing well. The only thing left to do is to FINALIZE my list of colleges. I think my maximum is 13. My minumum is 7. Hopefully I fallalong those lines within the next few weeks. [:
-Btw, I REALLY miss the summer. I loved every aspect of it, even my low days. Anyways, I never really got to do my annual summer recap but yet again, i'm too lazy to type it all up. I'll just do a picture blog some time soon.

I'm getting sleepy.

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go Again.

I lost my flashdrive once more. This time, I doubt i'll be able to find it. I don't remember if I saw it at all this weekend. I know for a fact that I had it all of Friday, even when I went to Kevin's house for Anniversary Prep. Ahh, I wish I can find it.

Anyways, here comes the bullet points.
-LA Anniversary went well. However, I think I took my speech waaay too seriously. I freaked out the whole time prior to when I delivered it. After I gave my speech, I knew I over acted.
-SATs are coming up this Saturday. I'm positive I'll score above a 1900. I need to get over that.
-I've narrowed my college list. I'm at 13 possible schools. UGH. College apps for Cal States and UC's are due in less than two months. -____-
-I'm still pretty bipolar and slightly hormonal.
-I just might be able to go to Universal's Horror Nights on the 17th. I just hope I don't die.
-I noticed that the later I eat, the hungrier I am when I wake up in the morning.
-Now that I mention that, I'm pretty hungry.
-I highly dislike the fact that my weight keeps fluctuating. I need to consistently start working out. I biked about 6 miles yesterday. My thighs are burning right now.
-Senior year is being really bittersweet to me. I hope all goes well for the remainder of the month.

I don't know why I'm blogging about all of this.

this is all.
