I'm back on schedule. :) Fresh juice and a five mile hike is going to be my usual on weekends. I started off Saturday with a four mile hike but today we made a round trip. The trail : Claremont Hills Wilderness Park . Which I found to be really nice being that it's right down the street from my house and gives you a decent hike experience. It's nothing to intense but just the right amount of work out if you are just getting back on track. (like me ) But good news is there are multiple side trails that are much steeper for a more intense work out. Something else I liked about this trail was the multiple Tarantula sightings. (Although seeing the first one was a bit scary...I was centimeters from stepping on it...Eeeeeek...) Just keep an eye out for them and you should be fine. We saw three on today's hike. Cute little guys. But anyway, overall it i a good trail and I will definitely be using often.
Fresh juice - Kale, Celery, Lettuce, Lime, Orange, Baby Carrots and Wheat Grass
When I came across this article a wave of hope came over me. As a future IE myself, this article gave me a perspective of just how far I can take my career. I feel like the possibilities are endless. IE is all about getting a clear picture of how thing work (independently and as a whole) so that you may improve, change around, or get rid of even things that will not only help a company or bussiness but all their customers.( When it comes to Apple, that means pretty much everyone. ) What better person to run a company, than one that knows how it functions? IEs are doing it all. While my dream job isn't to be the CEO of Apple, although that would be pretty amazing, I love knowing that it is a possibility for an IE. It has helped me see my future with a whole new perspective. And let me tell you...I am definitely excited :)
Yup. That pretty much sums it up...made an account like four days ago and I'm already addicted. Goodbye Pandora? Nahhh just...well we are taking a break. >.< Itunes has what I want when I want. Something Pandora couldn't always follow through with...Itunes is definitely a keeper. :)
I really don't think it is possible for someone to be a good driver. No matter how hard I try, something always happens >.< No matter what you do, some jerk will always critisize you or give you the finger cause you were changing in his lane and didn't let him speed his way before you. No matter what some object will be blocking your view and you won't see the person about to cross the street until you are right in front of them. No matter what some cop will always choose to stop YOU for making a left turn over a double divider(one that everyone crosses over). Yes...most of this stuff has happened to me. And you know what the sad part is...I really don't speed and honestly I try my best to obey the law and yet I always feel like a bad driver. Is there hope? Cause I really don't think so.not anymore.All I know is that I really hate driving now cause of it.\
But one good thing is that The Cars are a great band and you should check them out :)

Currently watching : EAT PRAY LOVE
So far so good...I mean its a Julia Roberts movie so of course I expect alot :) And I was suprised to see Mr.James Franco get some scenes in...Kinda suprised me. >.<
-You know what I love/hate about travel movies though...you are exposed to all these magnificent settings, all the beauty a country has to offer that only makes you want to get up a go straight there. But you know you can't (or at least I do) Not now anyway...I guess thats the bad side of it though, cause when you think of it...if it wasn't for film, you wouldn't have been exposed to it at all in the first place...you would't have been given images of a country that exists in your world. You gotta love film for that :) The impact they can have on a person is endless.
I haven't been posting but that doesn't mean I'm not watching some amazing movies or listening to some killer hit (when I really should be doing H/W...like right now...oh well Stats will have to wait. :)
What movies I've been watching: - -Rebel Without a Cause --- James Dean <3 yes...I too am in love with him...I mean his acting :)...Sal Mineo as well. I enjoyed this movie mainly because it was a classic and I'm really trying to learn more about the history of film making and even though it wasn't a film noir classic it was still old enough to see the techniques used in the 50's and how they compare to today's more evolved styles of filmaking.
-50/50 --- Being able to watch a movie at a theatre rather than on my laptop (Netflix :D) screen really made me realize how much a theatre can enhance the experience...bigger screen better suroundsound...it really allows you to get into a movie.
-Drive --- Experimentation is a risky thing in the movie making industry because something either works or doesn't...there is no kinda...and Drive to me seemed like a really experimental film sound(Music and the times when the sound is muted out) and image wise. I'm not gonna say it did it for me because I really can't say. But I did like it because of its daring ways. If you have seen it you might have noticed the scene when the "Driver"(Ryan Gosling :)) stabbed "Bernie" and the scene went into showing just the shadows of the two characters...I personally have never seen that before...thought it was quite interesting way to shoot a scene.
-James Dean Era --- More James Dean....enough said...lol
-3:10 to YUMA --- In my Intro to Film class we have been watching a couple movies and this one really had an impact on me. Being a Western, I really didn't expect much (never have been into westerns) but boy did this movie change my views...everything from its color , sound and camera movements was just amazing. I really enjoyed watching this film unravel all that a Western has to offer. I will definitely be seeing more.
As far as the music I have been listening to, well I must say Spanish Rock has had a hold on me all weekend...Wonder how long it will last. Here is a taste of some :
