Saturday:

What a sexy day. I’ll skip to the good part. I spent this night at a Brazilian club. The house group comprised of the owner and some friends did a killer set. I ate this crazy “fisherman’s stew” during this set, very ethnic, very tasty. The group was based around just a guitarist/vocalist and a drummer. It grew to have a 20 minute Latin drum feature, with 3 drummers and the guitarist. By the way, all very intimate, they were about 6 feet away from us. Then the sexiness…Salsa Dancing. A girl, apparently the wife of the guitarist, came out in a “Carnival” costume (basically a swimsuit with feathery hat thing, and some beads). Not like an American cotton candy gay-carnival…we’re talking Brazilian carnival. We all danced along with her, as she just kind of pulled everyone out of their seats. I think everyone should act like Brazilians. They have a great time, play in time, and are sexy. Nexus should also do a Rio show… I’ll get on that. Back to the club…I assume all Brazilians can dance. Some random old guy got up during the show, and salsa-ed his way to the bathroom, then salsa-ed back. This of course made me feel extremely white, and with a lack in Katy, I had a lack in dance partner to distract some from my whiteness. The restaurant had a band from Northern Brazil perform next, and the place became packed. Everyone kept dancing all night. I checked out around 1 am. It never feels good when your parents can party harder than you. I had to convince them to leave so I had a ride back to the hotel. The sexy day was officially over.

well, i forgot i had this blog site. i know blog with quantumninja. why. because we own the damn server for it. go to QUANTUM NINJA BLOGS

i honestly dont really like blogs. everyone makes them, and i can't seem to keep up with mine. its been hmm... 2 weeks since my last entry. it's been a busy week as usual... finals are over. Nexus has been rehearsing quite a bit, because we have a gig at the union comming up. i just got back from matt stinsons house, halo lan - thanks for hosting it matt. I went to a party at liz byrons last week also - thanks liz. Those are exponentially more parties than i've been to in a long time.

I find it ironic that all my friends who are not in kamsc, and juniors in general are starting to freak out about college admissions and standardized tests and actually taking hard classes. Kamsc has "worn us in" for 2 years now, and i could care less, in fact, my stress level is less than has been the last 2 years. Not that im not keeping busy, its just a more apathetic busy. Well, things are exciting, putting a lot of work into my piano, the band, and the quantum ninja website. I have plans to work on some bigger, more "real" movie projects.

Ryan and I are trying to work out a fusion song and Steve and I are trying to work out some Pat Metheny stuff.

I like Tabulas cause its easy to work with, but im going to try to build the blog into the quantumninja site because of the essentially unlimited space. - i know people come to the blogs for the pictures usually - so go to the image section of quantum and you'll find some new ones (too lazy to repost them here)

i am back, and its cold. Apart from the relaxation, i managed to finish a lot of the nexus website, and read the physics book. i'll post the last couple pictures from my trip. i had to wake up at 5 for the flight this morning, so happy new year, its nap time.

my new years eve will be relatively lame unfortunately. right now i am on a business center computer in a sheratan in tampa waiting while my parents check us in to our "overnight" hotel until our morning flight back home. the past few days i have not had internet access because i've been in Stuart, Florida visiting my grandpa and other relatives. It's been pretty fun, even more relaxing than Miami, because there are a LOT less things to do. All the same, its been fun. I'll probably post more, or tell the world more about whats going on in a little bit, but i have to catch an elevator. happy new year
