So I decided to take a trip to the Santa Monica Pier on Monday, 5/14/12, after I was finished with class in order to relieve some stress and relax. I took a bag of chips and a Dr. Pepper, ate and drank while watching the waves. I took my longboard with me with the intention of riding on the bike path within the proximity of the pier. I decided, however, to ride the two miles down to Venice beach because the idea sounded pretty awesome. It definitely was. I mean, just picture cruising on a path with the whole ocean coastline in your view and the bright, tan, warm sand all around you. Not everyone has the opportunity to do that, so I took advantage of it. Anyways, once I reached the center of Venice where numerous performers and vendors are around, I decided to stop to look around to see if I see something interesting. I knew I was going to find something or someone interesting because..it’s VENICE BEACH! What I didn’t know is that I would find the YouTube sensations Nick Rutherford and Beck Bennet, the stars in “The Theatre of Life” series, making a video right as I was about to stop riding on my longboard! They were filming as I passed by, so hopefully I don’t get edited out! The picture above is when I approached them after they finished their video. I asked them if I could get a picture and they said, why not? They’re hilarious and great guys! I actually tested my luck and stuck around to see if I could find KassemG as well but I didn’t succeed. Haha, it was worth a shot. Hopefully next time I go to Venice I’ll get lucky once more! Thanks for the pic Nick and Beck!

P.S. Go Bruins!

I’m seriously just sitting here waiting for an email, phone call, letter, orsomething from UCLA saying that admitting me was a huge mistake and they actually meant to admit someone completely different than me or that the system glitched and accidentally showed me an acceptance letter when I was meant to get a rejection letter.

I mean, I can’t seriously have gotten in… Not to UCLA.

I guess I should commit to them before they change their minds haha.

In response to your concern about UCLA making a mistake on your acceptance: Stop waiting for that call/email/letter. They didn’t make a mistake when they accepted you. :) This was actually something they brought up at my orientation because many students, including myself, thought that the school had made a mistake. Admission officials carefully review who they send out acceptance letters to make sure that these type of mistakes don’t occur. If they sent you an email, it was for you and nobody else. Congratulations on your achievements. :) Assuming that you’ve determined that UCLA will be the school that you’ll be attending this fall, welcome to the Bruin family! :) If not, I still wish you happiness to whichever path you end up following.

-Best,

A fellow Bruin!

Picked up this hobby recently. It’s such a thrill going downhill; it is definitely a workout for the quadriceps (well..one of them). I want to upgrade my board already though. :|

Barack Obama’s Playlist Explained

I decided to pick ten random songs from Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign playlist and speculate wildly about their significance. Enjoy.

James Taylor - Your Smiling Face
First of all I thought this was almost certainly a ‘special’ song for Michelle and Barack. I mean, it’s a love song, right? “What do love songs have to do with politics?” I asked myself. “Well,” I replied, “Sometimes loads, actually.” Sometimes political songs can be disguised as love songs (I think Celine Dion’s The Power of Love may be one, but don’t quote me on that). ‘Your Smiling Face’ is one such song. The refrain at the end, for example - “nobody can tell me that I’m doing wrong today” - is surely the motto of ego-maniacal dictators everywhere. Be careful, Barack. Be very careful.

Love You I Do - Jennifer Hudson
Another love song. Cue the thought process outlined above. Except this time I think it might just be the first thing - a ‘special’ song. Barack and Michelle are obviously Beyoncé fans - she sang At Last while they danced their first dance as President and FLOTUS - so perhaps the Dreamgirls connection explains the presence of this song. That and the fact that it’s impossible not to head-dance while listening. Don’t know what head-dancing is? Place the song. Note head movements. Mystery explained.

The Weight - Aretha Franklin
Aretha! Of course! R’n’B royalty and queen of our soulful hearts. However, this song is not an Aretha original - it’s a cover of the track originally performed by The Band in 1968. It’s a folksy tale of the search for good. So is Barack saying we should rely on or hope for the good in others? That we should strike out on an uncertain journey without fear? That it’ll all be okay in the end? Does he just like a bit of Aretha? Unfortunately I’m not an experienced political analyst and can’t possibly comment.

Even Better Than The Real Thing - U2
I have a very sneaking suspicion that this wasn’t Barack’s choice. I’d bet money that Barack asked his good friend Dave for the name of a British band that write songs that are political and relevant. And this is what Dave, his finger always on the pulse, came up with. It’s either that or a nod to Barack’s Irish heritage, in a bid for the Celtic vote - I refuse to believe the second explanation. Far too cynical a move for old Barack.

Let’s Stay Together - Al Green
But of course. It could only be better if it was a version actually sung by Barack. Go one, team Obama. Make it happen.

We Used To Wait - Arcade Fire
You just know how he found this one. One of his team - cool, young, whatever the name is for a hipster with fervent political views - plays a song on the computer in the office (I admit, how I imagine volunteering for the Obama corps works probably isn’t 100% accurate, but humour me here) and the Pres wonders by, hears the wall of strange noise and stops in his tracks. “That song!” he says, turning to an aide, “Get me the name of that song!” And lo, Arcade Fire gained their place on the hallowed Obama playlist. Amen.

We Take Care of Our Own - Bruce Springsteen
Bruce is a foregone conclusion. The only real question was which song to choose? Almost any would do - ‘Blinded by the Light’ is surely a strong contender, as is the relentlessly cheerful ‘Waitin’ on a Sunny Day’. So why this one? Well, maybe because it’s just so darn American. It’s got a good message and it even namechecks Obama’s old stomping ground, Chicago. After extensively reviewing the lyrics I’ve decided that choosing this song is a dextrous political manoeuvre which ranks alongside Obama’s best. Bravo, Barack. Bravo.

Green Onions - Booker T & the MGs
It may have no words but it speaks volumes. I’m not sure exactly what it’s saying, though. Barack’s a funky kind of guy? Surely we all know that?

The Best Thing About Me Is You - Ricky Martin ft. Joss Stone
The most controversial and perhaps unexpected choice on the playlist. With its upbeat lyrics and inclusive message, it’s kind of a chilled-out, sanitised protest song. Possibly chosen for its title, and the slightly cloying implication that the best thing about Barack is us (well, not me, I can’t vote for the guy). If I was being very cynical I would say it also serves a more political purpose: Martin is both Latino and gay, and his inclusion may be an attempt to reach out to both demographics. Then again, maybe Barack is a just a big fan of Joss Stone. Anything’s possible.

Home - Dierks Bentley
The playlist contains an unexpected amount of country - but apparently it’s big over there. This is a classic. It’s a ballad to the mother country, chest-bangingly patriotic, and praises freedom and diversity, declaring “no we’re not the same/But that’s what makes us strong” in a slightly more sophisticated lyrical take on the old saying “opposites attract”. Does this mean even the staunchest Republicans may rethink their support of the old white guy who most closely resembles them? Probably not. Doesn’t hurt to try though, does it?
