i fucked up

this time i just am- i dont even know what to say.Alls i know is that after a great week or two weeks,which i knew was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, i messed up on tuesday. i was at home and i was chillin- so my gramma came over. so i take her to costco to get flowers for the virgen de guadalupe and all is good cuz' she said shed go with me to take them to colonia church. after costco i took her to eat to my job which she ate almost the whole tamal.so then we head out to the church, and after i was gonna take her to take a picture with santa at the mall....

so i ask her "marcelina, te tomo una foto con la virgen?" and she never wants to take a picture but this time she said yes. so i turn to get my camera, and my grama falls on the altar!!!! SHE FUCKEN FELL ON HER KNEES AND IT WAS MY FAULT CUZ I WASNT WATCHING HER!!!!!i knew there was a step but i didnt think she'd keep walking...not cool.i fucken grabbed her from the back and pulled her up i dont even know how, like a hawk when they pick up stuff- damn, im glad Ofe was there with us cuz' i didnt know whether to scream, shit my pants, or cry- i almost did all three..

i feel really bad , we took her to the ER that night and she had to wait 7 hours!!!! so they can only give her a mothafuken bandage and xrays which came out fracture free.... she cant really walk by herself now-it sucks to see her just all sitting like a little bird...im hope she gets better so she can walk how she used to or im gonna have to do a little vein exploration on myself with a rusty box cutter...

....on a lighter note,the week before my grama fell was too good to be true.im gonna layout the highlights:

i taught the kids at work about lanterns and we made some-handed out candles to them and everything. i warned them though i was all,"DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LIGHT THESE CANDLES ON YOUR OWN, BECAUSE YOU WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN, AND YOU DONT WANT TO BE HOMELESS FOR THE HOLIDAYS"...i think i got my point across when i saw the horrified look on their faces.

then i went to Kampai japanese restaurant, cuz it closed down forever.i used to bartend there, and we had a last meal type of thing with all the workers.
it was sad cuz a lot of people lost their job, but they might open another one in its place and re hire everyone. my frens eilen and ofe and i went to rubys after for 15min and there was only 6 people total- i think it was on a wed.

thurs i bought the only comic that i read KABUKI by David Mack
his link; i was behind issues and i had no idea. Reflections #10 and #11.And i was so happy because i discovered that david mack had included in the printing a fan comment i had made about issue #9!!! but i felt kinda weird because he had also included my myspace name-- and since im not really a dj and i picked a funny name as in me being lazy or having a lazy eye-which i dont...., but it was waaaay cool being included in the fan letters or "tear drops" as theyre called....

then saturday i went to the two coolest most bad ass art show openings that i had ever been to.and i wasnt planning on going to neither.i took a picure with zack de la rocha, so did my brother and we say russel simmons there too.i was so star struck with zack heres what i said:

(keep in mind i wasnt planning to say anything to him cuz i thought well he just wants to chill) so i start walking over to him and i tap him on the shoulder- at this point i think 'shit its too late! i gotta say it now, why am i so nervous?'...

me:"scuse' me zack is it okay if i take a picture with you?"

zack turns around and looks at me..

z:"sure, whats your name?"

i had forgotten my name....

me:"diana"

and i proceed to ramble and rant on...

me:"i cant believe its you, im a fan of your music, its great, you dont know how much it means to me, im star struck, i cant believe its you..wow."

so we take the pic then my brother takes one - then all these people start flashing pix, and some guys all touching his arm and zacks all confused looking-i guess the guy was trying to tell him that he had a rage tatoo -but he was too nervous to speak. so then zack was like 'ok this is the last picture'...and then he just left and was chillin outside- he was way cool...
but i didnt want to go bug him again-what was i gonna say anyway?......

what i really wanted to yell and say:"OMIGOD ITS ZACK FROM RATM!!! I CANT BELIEVE THIS!YOURE SOOOOO COOOOL I LOVE YOUR FLOWS! I CAN THINK OF METAPHORS LIKE THAT! AND THE WAY YOU SING AND RAP MAN! THATS REAL !! I STILL GOT MY RATM POSTER UP IN MY ROOM AND ITS BEEN THERE SINCE LIKE 10 YEARS AGO,I NEVER WANT TO TAKE IT DOWN CUZ WHEN I DO IM GONNA FEEL OLD, ITS NEXT TO MY BOB MARLEY AND NIRVANA AND NO DOUBT AND PRINCE AND CAFETACUBA AND PANS LABYRINTH POSTERS AND AND ..."
yeah i like that guy, hes the realest...i wish i knew him in person for real... but i wouldnt know what to say and i aint no ho' so it wouldnt be like that, i admire him....oh and check out his project....
link

after being star struck me and my bro headed to a graffitti show at track 16- it was the BOMB! no pun intended!
they had a lowrider and everything, it was RISK1's
link art show. they had a dj booth open bar and a cool ass crowd too! i think Mr Cartoon sitewas in the house and Estevan Oriol site too...

after the show me and my bro went to 3rd street and chilled in a action figure store which was open late and we almost bought a shit load of Spawn figures but decided not to...we drove home on the PCH like at 2am and saw 5 shooting stars-maybe meteors....it was tight....
....

so this week i had the kids at work learn about the game LA LOTERIA- it originated in Italy and the rich played it, the money won was donated to the poor.
link then it got to france, then spain then to mexico, and the rest is history....

i went to TJ yesterday-mad trafico...i wish i could pass people-that'd be tight...i bought lucha masks de rey misterio for my bro and my gramma....

im in some online video

HAPPY HOLIDAYS and thanks for taking time to read this rant....-diana

national geographic television





























im watching "journey to the edge of the universe" right now on national geographic. it is an amazing episode- or show. its fascinating. it blows my mind to think that as i am worried about useless things like which chips im going to buy- theres the universe out there growing and glowing and that theres a moon that orbits jupiter of all ice "titan" and some other moon that orbits neptune with dark dark clouds.......i think the show is all CG. i hope its clse to reality....25 trillion years "alpha sintori" three planets circulating each other the first solar system past our own......the distances are-whoah.the universe is so beautiful....the solar system and the universe -thinking about it, makes me feel crazy.

i tried speed and i liked it







so i got a ticket on my way down from a mountain. i was going fast compared to the usual 35 mph which i always drive no matter what i do. it was funny actually. i was probably going to roll down los padres national forest... that was my plan and i was listening to bjork really fucken loud this song actually, it was funny. i probably wont laugh when i see how much i have to pay.oh well. i had some good ass kettle corn today, its the only kind i eat fresh ones. and i slept on the grass at some park and i guess people were taking pictures of me. weird.

i spent the night with a homeless man last night

i was in the ER just me and some homeless man. it was interesting. he had nowhere to go and i didnt feel like going home. he was bossing me around- he wanted to watch a movie, then sports and he wanted the tv volume up. i guess i was the official channel changer. it was cold in there like at 3:30am . my gramma was back in the hospital last night she threw up and was delirious, i almost had an anciety attack, i was scared. so were my two uncles. she had just been out that afternoon at 5pm. i dunno whats going on with her. she has a funny heart rythm. speaking of funny, she had to be restrained today, her nurse brought out some fabric boxing glove like restraints to keep her from yanking out her IV again. oh and she fell too, she had a black eye and a "chipote" on her right eye. oh and shes got the biggest fucken bruise ive ever seen. her whole arm is red, blue and purple BAD. when the nurse put those gloves on her- it was hilarious. but i was crying at the same time. it was funny as hell but the tears were coming out- not cuz i was laughing but because it has reached this extreme. off to the LBC on fri. moms nervous- so am i. well see.......itll be okay.

i always wanted to play baseball














for better care of your teeth, the above things help. the important thing in looking for is "recaldent" in anything you brush with or chew. and using woven floss, not waxed or gentle or whatever bullshit they say. i gots the heads up from a dentist on this stuff. inside info i guess. and why am i blogging about this shit at 2 am? cuz' i cant fucken sleep and yeah im a total blogging nerd, and i dont give a fuck either. not like anyone really reads all this anyway.
so my gramma fainted again so shes still in the hospital. shes fine dont worry. she gets embarrassed cuz' i see her butt cheeks, not that i really want to but i have to help mer sit on the toilet. i wonder whose gonna help me with my ass cheeks when im 85? maybe i wont make it that far.... anyway, she almost hopped out of the hospital bed on me before her CAT scan they never did cuz she was outta control. i actually broke a sweat trying to hold her down and keeping her from jumping about three and a half feet down to the floor. (those ER beds are really high).

so yeah, okay. done blogging now. oh and did i mention im unemployed? moms having surgery next week, well see how that works out. now go brush your teeth.* and happy 4th of july.heres one of my favorite movie scenes, and song- gets me everytime too. i love how they did this.

Sunday, June 29, 2008

gets me every time, i dont care what they say about this song




this song is cool forever. i just made my gramma dance it. and it was REALLY FUN!!!!!!. at this moment shes happy and puckering cuz' im playing this song really loud and typing and puckering- shes puckering too. :) she keeps telling me to go to sleep. she hasnt been so good lately, except for right now. she told me she loved me earlier, and i didnt say it to her first this time. she just said it. that made me really happy... i think if she ever dies, im going to die with her.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

i feel like andy warhol looks.


ive just been bumming around lately. not much to do. sitting around. watching and listening to my gramma freak out- WE HAD TO TAKE HER TO THE er THE OTHER DAY. its not cool. i go to work and some kids could care less about art, and artists. i go to my other job and i really dont want to be there anymore. i will be unemployed by the end of this week. cant really look for another job, cuz' my moms getting knifed. i drive my gramma around for about two hours until it gets dark and bring her back home, so we can sleep, but she doesnt listen.
i dont feel anything anymore really, im just here, i drive around the city and the next city, and i dont know what to think or feel anymore, iii i i i i i i i i i i i i , what a rant................. heres some info on andy warhol the kids liked the art work and of course they thought he was weird looking, they actually gasped at his self portrait. so this week is my last week teaching i will be officially unemployed mon-fri. so it totally sucks. this week i think ill teach the kids about yoko ono - AN ARTIST THAT IS STILL ALIVE AND IS RICH AND FAMOUS. - the kids always complain, theyre like "oh another artist ms.diana? let me guess died of cancer...." yeah i have to explain to them that famous artists are usually dead. the value of their art goes up when they die. they dont get it. but yeah yoko ono. well see how they like her. ill have them play tic tac toe for their activity- since shes good at having interactions with her artwork. oh and i had soup cans for the kids to draw for andys lesson.
to end on a funny note, last week i wescaped to venice and saw the funniest tagger name- it totally made my day, and i wouldve never thought it out to be my tagger name. ive always wanted to be a tagger or graffiti artist if you may since junior high, but i dont mix well with anything aerosol. anyway the name that was tagged was "POOP" - that made my day. i would love to go around tagging "POOP".

i did the best i could

saturday, june 14, 2008 i saw the coolest thing FOREVER. OR EVER. better than the burning car from the last blog. i saw a meteor. i think thats what it was cuz' it was bigger and closer than a shooting star. it was blue and it had an orange tail. i hadnt seen anything like it. it was comepletely amazing. i think i over reacted too, cuz' i was like OMIGOD!!!! over and over. it was a good sight. im glad im not blind. cheers to that!
it was so cool, it lit up the sky too. i wish i wouldve been just a tad bit more sober , to fully ponder the meaning of burning rocks.
so anyway, heres a little song my favorite by led zepplin- well my favoritest... if i could be a sound, i would be the sound of page's guitar on this song. i taught the kids about frida kahlo this week- they thought she was a man, and thought her art was creepy-good times.

silver corvette or a viper


I just got back from witnessing a cool event- well on my behalf cuz' ive been bored out of my mind lately. so i decide to take my gramma out to calm her down (cuz' she was freaking out and trippin') so i take her out for a little drive along with my mom too. so theres a crap load of that sea stuff coming in to town by the beach.... hail . no i think is it fog? fuck it. well call it mist. (my brother says its mist.)

ANYWAY, so im out driving in the fields in oxnard because im trying to avoid "the mist" so i end up driving out to camarillo. i go all the way out there smack in the middle of nowhere and i turn on Pancho Road. ive been wanting to turn on that street for a long time cuz' when i pass it its the last street and the name's hella funny. (i dont really say hella but it fit)

okay so i turn on Pancho road and my moms like "where are we going?" and im like i think my dad said theres a cemetery out here. (no not a pet cemetery either cuz' whenever i mention cemetery to the kids at work they always ask if its a pet cemetery.) ANYWAY, ANYWAY,

So im cruising along Pancho road out in back and my mom says some shit like "esta muy solo por aca para andar en la tarde solas" and in my mind im like "shut the hell up". but not in a mean way. .....so, we see the cemetery and its all cool and calm with flowers and my mom's like "ok lets leave" cuz our car and this big ass truck that entered were the only ones out there driving..... so then i say in Spanish "i wonder if they'll ever find bodies out here- it would be a perfect place to dump one" right? cuz' theres nothing but bushes out there. so my moms pissed cuz' i said that and i could tell she was a little nervous.

SO AS WERE DRIVING OUT OF THE CEMETERY, ok check this out, there is a mothafucken' silver bad ass car either a silver corvette or a viper ON MOTHERFUCKEN' FIRE!!!!!! it was awesome!!! i was like how's this for adventure!!! so its on fire and i get this rush and my moms freaking out nervous and my poor little gramma's like, in the calmest voice ever "theres a car burning" cuz' at this point the meds kicked in..... so im like dude theres only one way out of here, out the little bridge over the river and the car on fire was right at the entrance full flames!!!! and im like "oh shit! what do i do if it blows up and my gramamas in the car with me?!" so my moms like just drive past it fast. and im like "okay".

so i cross myself; cuz' im still Catholic and i put my right arm on my grammas upper body to protect her in case that car blows (like that would help right?) and i step on the gas!!!! it was cool. then i called the cops. and told them where that car on fire was. there was a man out there but he looked like a jogger, but if it was his car, sucks for him. so i call 911 and i tell the lady "im a little away in case the car blows up or something" and she's like "thats highly unlikely" then a few minutes later i hear the gas tank blow up, not like in the movies- but still. so yeah , that was cool. i hope whoever was there is okay.

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

yesterday was a good day at work.(with the art kids). i was surprised and happy to find out that they actually remember what i teach them. sometimes that group doesnt listen- at all. but they remembered surrealism and the artist from spain, salvador dali. i taught them rene magritte yesterday and they were really interested in his artwork. it makes me happy to see the kids grab my papers from each other in order to see the artwork pictures i show; they start getting upset when someone takes too long to look at something..... but yeah they like magritte. they had to do their own surrealist drawing, which they enjoyed and turned out very cool.

the other day at a different school site they had the radio station go and dj for the kids since it was the last day of the program (which means im off tuesdays now- along with saturdays- but the saturdays is another story, and im trying to remain positive right now) anyway, they had music and games. wow, the power of music and rhythms on children, it amazing, i dont know how to describe it. it brings them jolting to life, it was really cool. i had the duty of giving out chips. i couldnt stand the bbq lays smell. i hate bbq sauce.

but yeah the kids remember and like the art i share with them. oh and i also showed one of my paintings to some of the kids cuz' it was in my bag and they like it a lot! they really did- they liked the music box thing too. im glad kids enjoy my painting too. except i showed it to an adult and the person was like "cute".....hmm im not sure if thats what i wanted to hear. is that a bad thing?

be thankful for what you've got-william devaughn


"I guess that’s what books do. Take you places. Inside and out. Move you. Inside. And out. You are at a different place after you read the book than you were before you read it. In many ways you are a different person as well." - The Alchemy #3- david mack

i need to read something. something cool. except Pablo Neruda.I don't know what the fuck I picked up the other day at the bookstore, it was a poetry book by his writings, and I already know if I start to read something by this foo' I'm floored. Man, if you can read in Spanish I tell you, I can't handle it. It's so damn deep. I wanted to buy it so bad cuz' it was so damn great, but i know better. i dont need to be suicidal n' shit. its that good. the amount of melancholy this guy describes within the first phrases of anything, its laid on thick man. so i didnt buy it. Pablo Neruda's writings are so full of "metaforos", and if you havent watched Il Postino the movie, I recommend it. its good.it makes me lazier than i already am- its so relaxing.it takes place in italy and stuff like that.

anyway, ive just been working and not much else. i tell you if it wasnt for mexican novelas or soap operas on Univision (channel 34) if you have cable or whatever, watch El Fuego En La Sangre- its good. if it wasnt for that novela, i'd be extra bored. i hate summertime. i guess i could be making arts but i havent.
my grandma's been okay this week shes with us. ummm, oh tomorrow i see The Cure in concert in Santa Barbara, and I'm going to try to stay away from any alcoholic beverages, if you know The Cure's music you'll understand.....
but all has been okay.the kids i teach art to have really liked the lessons i give them. last week i taught them about chinese paper cuts, which i was surprised my ten cuts were in tact after telling them they were worth a lot of money. they cost me one dollar in Chinatown for ten*, but they handled them with care. and this week im teaching them about native american clothing which they have to design and also design their own moccassins.

so yeah Pablo Neruda, he's good.the impact of the words are much stronger in Spanish. so i go on this site looking for a translated example and heres the first one i click on jeeeez......

"All those men were there inside,
when she came in totally naked.
They had been drinking: they began to spit.
Newly come from the river, she knew nothing.
She was a mermaid who had lost her way.
The insults flowed down her gleaming flesh.
Obscenities drowned her golden breasts.
Not knowing tears, she did not weep tears.
Not knowing clothes, she did not have clothes.
They blackened her with burnt corks and cigarette stubs,
and rolled around laughing on the tavern floor.
She did not speak because she had no speech.
Her eyes were the colour of distant love,
her twin arms were made of white topaz.
Her lips moved, silent, in a coral light,
and suddenly she went out by that door.
Entering the river she was cleaned,
shining like a white stone in the rain,
and without looking back she swam again
swam towards emptiness, swam towards death."-Pablo Neruda

Petula Clark - "Downtown"

Let's pretend you care and I'll tell you about my weekend.
I was re-born. A new beginning. I'm not shitting you. I was reborn and not in that Christian BS kind of way. Saturday I gave my problems to the wind- Thanks to Mr."Wolf Song", a real life Shaman. He knew what was up. It was trippy. And he was blind YO! Extra props. I think all of that spiritual stuff is waaaaaay fascinating. He helped- I feel relaxed and calmer.

It was way cool. I had never been to a POW WOW before until Saturday. It was at the Chumash Museum in Thousand Oaks. It was the first year they do it. I keep missing the Santa Inez POW WOW, but this one was cool since Im a beginner. Oh, just found this cool site 500Nations.
I like attending other culture people's events. I had some fry bread I used to know how to make it but I lost the recipe I had gotten in Home Ec class in high school.

Anyway, on the way back from the POW WOW, my family and I were cruisin' around listening to Art Laboe's Killer Oldies on the radio. I love when were out just drivin' around.
I know gas is expensive like a MF (according to Paul Mooney there hasn't been a drive by in LA in months*). But the point is, I spent a great afternoon with my family. I love them. I couldnt of asked for anything greater. We drove around, stopped and had a great dinner, we watched the Yankees play- even though they lost to the Mets- I had 40 oz of berry cider and got a great buzz going- kept me singing the whole drive back home to what I like to call "the radio challenge"- I change the station and I see if I know the song playing which I usually do especially if oldies are on. Me being tipsy pissed off my mom, but whatever, I had a great time.

I was re-born, listened to the drumming circles, watched feathered and beaded people dance, had a good dinner with my familia, saw my man Derek Jeter, had some ice cream for dessert, got a good ass buzz going, and sang the whole way home to some of my favorite music.

perfect.
