So the internet wuz down for like a week, cuz the company wuz installing fibers or whatever to other parts of Asia or something. Anyway, got it back like 2 days ago. It sucked not having internet. Felt so out of touch with the world, but it's back up now and it seems to be faster too.
Booyah!

Dear Future Kevin,
This rarely happens but last night at the supermarket, you saw this diamond in the ruff (or starfish in a sea of fish, or dolphin in a sea of whales, or a gummy bear in a bag of nuts.. well, you know what I mean) type of girl and you didn't make a move. Remember what she looked like? Yeah. Latin/Portuguese-looking half-Filipina. RARE here, buddy. That was an opportunity and you knew it right then you'd regret not hollering. So that was an opportunity gone, but in the future I'm pretty sure you'll know not to have to think twice. Moron.
Anyway, love you bro.
Past Kevin
P.S. You just had Canadian bacon for breakfast for the first time in months and it was wick-wick-wicked.

Oh yeah, I was notified that one of my photos was short-listed for the upcoming 8th edition of the Schmap Toronto Guide! And of course I approved it, so hopefully they'll end up including it. It'd be sweet. Somehow I remember the framing being better though...
It's this photo right here:

So here's a quick update. Just so you blogfiends and whoever else reads my crap (stalkers probably or friendly aliens) knows what's up.
I've been thinking about the possible things I can do with my time here (before I leave the country to go to wherever it is I'm going next.. back to Toronto hopefully, though that isn't in a while) and at the same time I've been feeling like the streets here need some decorating. I got inspired by a couple street artists I've been reading about in this book called The Adventures of Darius & Downey, and others like Swoon from some graffiti documentaries I recently rewatched. I really wanna start wheatpasting and culture jamming. Everytime I look out the car window, I see so many walls and places that I can make so much more interesting. And the adverstisements I can "take advantage" of.. there are so many that make people feel like they're not good enough because society says so if you know what I mean. And there are just so many unwanted giant billboards that scream at you, expecting you to buy their products just because there's a half-naked person on there.
I really just want to make things that people can look at and feel a connection to and just admire and just maybe even brighten up their day. So, I wanna do life-sized portraits and some stencils and just post them up around the city. Honestly, I think it'd be cool to share that type of art with all these people who've never seen it before. I don't want the art to above nor below the people I'm doing it for.. but instead just with them in a way. So yeah, I'm working on that. I already bought a bunch of art supplies and whatnot, so hopefully soooooon I'll be up in the streets doing my thing-thing.
My sister came back from New York last week and she just had her 16th birthday on Tuesday (the 7th).
I've been working on more beats as usual. Trying to get this next instrumental album done so I can have something to listen to and be happy about and maybe even share with the world. The working title is 'Stuck' and it's really dark and moody. Really underground.
I really want to start writing some scripts again. I don't think I wrote a script since the last scriptwriting assignment last year. But, I'm gonna get Windows on my Mac tomorrow so I should be using Final Draft again :)
I'm currently reading a handful of books it's ridiculous. I don't even give each one that much time. I still haven't finished Watchmen and I started Sophie's World again (read it a few years ago but never finished it because someone stole my copy) and I started Chuck Palahniuk's Choke again (like I said in my previous big post). Sign of A.D.D?
Nine Inch Nails is coming in August. I think I'm going. Should be awesome.
My dad's leaving on Friday to work in Africa for a few months. It's gonna be weird with him not being around. I got used to him being here all the time haha.
I removed my eyebrow piercing btw... I definitely have mixed feelings about that, but I think I don't mind it at all. This is the 3rd time I removed it and probably won't get it pierced again... for a while :P
Anyway here's a treat (I know I haven't posted any pics in a long time) and there's more where this came from ..but they probably won't see the light of day until I feel like posting them haha (sorry!):

Back
So, I've been neglecting my blog due to laziness. I wish I could make it more exciting around here. I should update more. I've been meaning to, but like I said - laziness. So ultimately, here's what should be a lazy post.
About the two photography classes I attended, they were pretty fun. I met some cool and friendly people. The Creative Lighting for Studio Portraits class was probably the most memorable, since we were all aged 20+, experienced, more outgoing and mingly. It was also fun being able to work with models, and it was cool because people seemed to think that I had a connection with models. Not one to brag, but they said I had 'control'. I know... I'm dead sexy. Plus I got to make friends with one of the models, so.. what you got to say about that? Thought so.
Mmm I've mostly been watching movies and series on my computer, listening to music and making music. My sister's attending this leadership thing she was invited to in New York (enter Theme from New York, New York). She's staying with her friends at her friend's uncle's house in New Jersey and apparently she's having fun, so way to go Carlton!
As you might have noticed, I stopped doing my 365s because I couldn't keep up with it. I might start all over again sometime though. I'm currently listening to the Theme from New York, New York. Fun, fun.
I keep falling into weird sleeping patterns. And speaking of sleeping (I just wrote 'sleeping of patterns' but I corrected it), I'm trying to become a lucid dreamer. Haven't had much luck though. Sometimes I forget, but I'm trying.
The other night last week, I slept over at my brother's apartment. That was pretty cool.
I started DJing on blip.fm. it's nothing special, but what I like most about it is that I get to discover so much good music through other people. It's connected to Twitter. The only people I follow on Twitter are my sister, Kevin Nealon, Jon Favreau and some musicians like Deftones and Limp Bizkit. Call me strange, but I like reading Tweets. I don't know why. Follow me if you want though I'm not really into Twitter. I might be though if I was still in Canada or knew some friends who use it.
I started making beats again. They mostly come off as dark, and contrasty to what I'd [usually] come up with for my 3rd album (beats compilation) but I kinda like that. I figure I could throw those into a [separate] 4th album.
I'm planning to start writing some short films. I need to get a notebook to write all my ideas down and whatnot. And then I need to force myself to get on Final Draft and start typing out some scripts.
I'm still reading Watchmen. And now I must go. I don't know what else to write about except what I just remembered, which is that I bought 2 books I've wanted to read - The Life of Hunter S. Thompson 'Gonzo', and Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club). I actually started Choke back in Toronto, like in December 2007 or something, but my roommate Ed had to leave and it was his so I never got to finish it. I used to read it sitting in the can...
One Love.
