The crisis of youth..

City Council...that time of the year

Along with a garland spray of oak pollen, Austin will be germinating new seats in City Hall with early voting for City Council members this week. Personally, as a former City reporter for the Daily Texan, I'd have to say that your vote does matter in a slight, unduly optimistic kind-of-way. Regardless of your political disposition, it's always healthy to understand that politicians are people too. Jennifer Kim, my personal favorite because of race and education, has released her cute and overwhelmingly cheesy advertisement. Her incumbency relies on the faith of several 'noobs' who don't understand her tainted track record over social policies, especially the whole "pan handling" fiasco which she introduced.

Whether or not she is a 'viable' option for the seat, I am going to have to give my full support towards her goals in becoming a fulfilled Asian American woman. The reason: She's asian. And there is no doubt that we need more representation, any in that case, despite contentious arguments claiming her to be a 'corporate-loving' fiend. Personally, I've had a chat or two with the gal, and she's a-okay in my books. (but then again, it's her job to smile and gain popularity).


To a fine Asian American Lady climbing up the ladder of upward mobility...Good Luck.

Impressionism

The springtime of youth demands so many things: a deep desire of lust, a sweltering feeling of belonging, but most importantly, our vitality depends on our appearance. Luckily, if you have been feeling a bit 'grunged' out lately, there is a trend kickin in.

Impressionism is all about deconstructing the norm. As a radical of a crazy social construct, it should be deemed a worthy task to piece an outfit that 'breaks the rules'. Just like rebels of their time, Paris-based artists reverted to a more instinctual painting form of expression, including free brush strokes, vivid colors as well as the avoidance of black. Take this into account when developing your next spring getup...here are some inspirational ensembles that will make an atmospheric shift to reflect the butterflies and the floating pollen.

Introducing Ralph Lauren's Ascot lady theme for Spring 08:

My new shoes...I adore.

http://www.sneakysteve.com/?openPage=s_coll

These are the latest edition to my wardrobe...

These sneakers were 'returned' at the local urban outfitters here in austin. Someone didn't like em, but I loved em. They were the only one's in shop, so that means DI$COUNT!!! fa sho.

They are inspired by a certain dualism : where street meets a hint of classy pointed toe boots...hence its name: Sneaky Steve's Rodeo black leathers...PIMP.

Grand Theft Mutherfuckin Auto 4

So... to all you suckas:

I've got the aural/visual ecstasy to get my hands on the newest grandtheft sequence. Right off the back, the character is introduced as a italian prick experiencing a sense of cultural clash. Because he sick of the 'land of opportunity', he decides to fulfill his life with crime, bitches, and cars. Lots of them...

The game got in early. So what?

The soundtrack? 17 out of five...it immediately starts of mad hype with an official trip hop anthem. You drive a taxi right off the back, and the GRAPHICS are supreme and prestine....the map is the same as the latter game, but it's all good. It will bring a certain violent nostalgia I look forward to bringing ruckus in. Game time; by the way, my life will be over for awhile. :)

The game is extremely realistic, moreso than its previous encounters. This is the gta i've always wanted, and right off the back you can explore the entire map. Did i mention the graphics? lol...too good.

Upon entering a spiritual landscape...

I returned to the natural world, awakened from a pensive and ethereal trance, with a song in mind. It was the conclusion to a long, and frustrating clash with emotion, hope and dreams. Here is my latest track...titled "Epic" aka...enter an astral plane of longing and peace...

EPIC by KidD Citrus

Plovos ambience

the paointing is reminds me of my grandmother. for some reason...if she was flourished in the spanish royalty.

say CHEESE!

POlovos...

blogging on an iPhone

this is pretty spctacular in terms of technological advancement! I never really realized howpimp this phoneis. It turns out.... I assumed incorrectly on the keyboard interface. It is really a work of art ! I'm in love!

DJ Capsoul expands on A.A. Milne and Drugs...

Upon entering a discussion regarding the analysis of fictional stories (especially anime/manga), I was introduced to a funny, yet seriously disturbing revelation:

Milne's classic children's story 'Winnie-the-Pooh' parallels  the effects of the drug culture.  

Dj Capsoul 

was chillen' with his pooch at the Riverside Dog Park smoking a Winston drag alongside with his lady. I took the initiative to sit by him and bum a ciggie, and from there engaged in an illuminating conversation in the lines of:

Citrus- "I guess i

n all things you could overanalyze the various characters of fictional stories and find a metaphorical representation paralleling their existence. Like in Naruto, Gaara follows Nietche's nihlism. And Naruto is a d

eterminist like Dewey. You could also find existentialism everywhere...it goes on a whole different level thats not portrayed in the 'juvenile' kind of appearance the corporations monopolize on."

Capsoul: "For sure, its always good to think like that. I mean I found the same results when I was watching Winnie-the-Pooh. If you look at the characters portrayed in the story, you can see a deep resemblance of drugs within each one of them.

Take for instance, EEYORE. He represents someone who's always depressed and doped up. So immediately, you can say 'Heroine' addict.

"im sooo hectoooo"

Citrus: "That's sooo true."

Capsoul: And then when you check out Pooh, you already know what he represents. He's always looking for food, and getting his head stuck in honey pots. No matter what, he's always hungry

...

"ahh

...the munchies!"

and sleepy. Right there, you know he represents --Weed.

Citrus: "Fa sho, he IS always trying to munch out...lol"

Capsoul: "Then there's lil Piglet. He's a skitzy...always soo paranoid. Always on that edge....lol.

should I do a numbie?

Citrus: Yah, he is always laced up...How about rabbit?

Capsoul:  That's too easy...rabbit is definitely a shroo

ms kinda guy. 

 "Hmm...i hope these shrooms grow :) "

Citrus: "Haha. Damn, I didn't even see that coming!"

Capsoul: "Its everywhere too...they are just so obvious. Guess what MOLE is?

Citrus: "umm... i dunno."

Capsoul: He pops up out of nowhere...always hiding in some hole. Mole has got to be on crack. He's definitely a crackhead.

"wheres the rock at?"

Capsoul: The most interesting one is Kangaroo... you know- a single mother having to take care of an only child. And always wondering where the father went. He just got up and left. She portrays the struggle of the average prescription user. The abuse of the 'legal' drugs...

"I'm all barred out..., wheres my fuckin kid?"

Capsoul: Then there's Christopher Robin. He's all straight. He's the clean one who has to deal with all this shit. He's the 'you and me' of the story. But over all, its pretty interesting when you begin to see similarities that are too apparent to be coincidences...

The list can go on. People have done with the Simpsons, Family guy, futurama...and all sorts of other characterizations. I just think its funny how the best aspects of stories can be found in everyday 'tedious' academia and not so 'innocent' social taboos.

There is one thing he did forget. And its probably the most obvious of them all, can you guess...?

"Yipeee!!!! Meth for me!!! I'm so SPEEDy!"

This is amazing. Too good. The epitome of my Fall ensemble

Regardless of where the fall fashion pathway is unwinding, from Thom Browne's urban goth look to Dior Homme's copycat style (hes on Browne's nuts), I am relieved to see a fresh of breath air in terms of vibrancy. Fall is a time of change, and yes...although leaves do fall and trees turn ugly, I don't think our clothes should necessarily follow the same route. Hence, In reminiscence of spring, with a touch of autumn nostalgia...Dsquared illuminates:

In this outfit...you get a royal blue nylon hoodie overlay with a not so slim blazer (its a rugged look with a hint of finesse)...coupled with amazing gloves and strap on 'ski' boots, topped of with the creme de la creme sleek all white slacks (dont forget to tuck em' in!)...and simple chrome belt buckle.

TOOO SMOOTH. 

I want this. Bad.

A time of my life...

Three days to pleasure
three days for loves measure
hope to nothing
nothing to fill
every body cant make me spill
the time of my life has past
and will continue to be
as long as i have her
and as long as i can see
the way she makes me feel
is beyond fantasy and real
and i know that it will be forever
as long as we can be together

i will do my best, the best is sure
to make her happy, and be her cure
and see a constant stream of smiles
and make her pleasure last a while
her desire is my fire
the passionate fuel
to grow as lovers
....
thats it


To a lilly which blossomed in a fruitful spring.


to you Will i always sing...


AH>..love.

Testing out my desings ...a beta run. A test for cool factor.

Moby vents...

MOBY WHINES>>>

http://www.gigwise.com/news.asp?contentid=42415

“Some people seem to like me and some people seem to hate my guts, which is strange. I mean, it’s a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you’ve never met,” said the song and dance man. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I can inspire such loathing in people I’ve never met.”

So at the latest SXSW 2008...i recieved the pleasure of meeting the MAGNIFICENT MOBY. Well, err...he was somewhat magnificent, but more so the best way to describe him would be : JUST MOBY.

Moby is an iconic figure in the dance scene. Who can deny that shining bald beauty we can spot from a mile away, coupled with the ubiquitous black horn rim glasses that take him to another level of nerdism. Ah...Moby. 

But I don't mean to put him on blast. I've seen him rip the turntables (although I was more into  Jack Daniels at that time), i've seen him play the guitar at the Fader party to honor Lil Reed...and most of all, I've seen him chill. Just chill.

For the most part, Moby seems like a pretentious prick. A douchebag. But that's because he looks too good, too smart, too elite to be in the 'industry'

The fact is. Moby got his name from Moby Dick

and he will always be associated as a Dick. 

But overall, when i talked to him...he was a bit pretentious, slightly unwarranted in mannerisms, and a tad too standoffish; but I enjoyed his company.  Heres to a 'whale' of a DJ...

An amazing ARTIST.

As i was gracefully performing my work duties, I came into a contact with a gleeful individual who happens to be an amazing artist: ROBERT ANDERSON. This man is a senior lecturer at UT art department, and i was privileged enough to witness his abstract sex drawings. Here are a few...courtesy of his personal ccwf page (which is going to be deactivated, so behold a treasure):

Spring shoes...

So...apparently. Canvas is in for your nice little papitoes...a

here are some good stuff:

1.)Adidas Original Doley Laceups (all white at barneys)

Minimalism is soooo pimp.

2.)Nike Air Vandals...balla.

3.)Puma 917 mid canvas sneaker

4.)Lacoste  Ibiza block sneaker

Its that time of the month...

Just like every lady has her menstrual cycle...I have finally reached my blogging time of the month.  It takes a certain kind of inspirational placenta to explode before my flow of bloggin words come out. Lol.

On the reals:

After receiving much contemplations...the kind that can deter your obligations, I finally reached a conclusion. I don't necessarily care too much about perfection. 

You see...the problem with setting such a exorbitant standard for yourself, is the stagnating realization that you are inevitably never going to accomplish anything. Because one fears 'failure' due to that haunting personal manifesto of 'perfectionism', one may stall on his duty. But wateva...I'm not good with deadlines...

Im good with lifelines.

That means. Whenever I feel like updating, ill make sure youll know. AND I can assure you its going to be great. PIMPLO~~~~~~~

This is to a new life.

A new beginning.

A new soul.

KidD Citrus has finally reached a premium ripeness...ready for a succulent and juicy taste. MMM>....get ready

Harvest Moon

The lover of love was out tonight. She danced in the cloudful skies to the swing of stars. A full emobdiement of grace, as if grace herself gave her tierra for an evening. 

The hate of a thousand sorrows was weeping, and all the anger and anguish drifted to the bottom of humanity.

The shining light illuminated a smile, and my heart skipped at the sight of her orange glow.

The full moon. A spectacle in it of itself. A glorious evening. 

Tonight.

To day.

To mororow.

What is tomorrow, but only a shadow of a purity. A calm before a storm of titans. 

Will my evenings spend the few change in their pockets to gleam so brilliantly?

Forever ago, I will wait.

Saul Williams SXSW 08 The FORT

The lyrical master indulges in a shout for mercy, compassion, love and most of all....anger.

A general discontent about today's politically-corporate imperialist setting. 

A breath of fresh and pure air from the facades of choking manipulation.

His outfit was a vermillion-evergreen velvet blazer, with a black vintage T, coupled with a myriad of expressive accessories:

A scarlet red "Niggie" necklace with a 76er'esque font. A "N" scrabble ring. Furious multi-colored feathers. And my favorite, A caution sign belt. 

CAUTION! Saul Williams is vicious

School starts...again. Post spring break.

The life of an average kid suddenly finds itself swamped with tedious delays. First, I had to travel cross-city to get some legal documents for my work. Second, I lost my precious phone, the avatar for my blog. Third, school really does impose on passion. Fourth, Love. Fifth, new ambitions mean new reflections. Boy do i have a lot to share.

Sorry for the delay. But consider it a calm before a storm, a drizzle and a drench of my own personal aphorisms.

Thank god I found my phone.

Shout out loud

Pimp!

Bon iver

Two guitars...a drummer and a cherubim falsetto.

Bon iver

A jeff buckleyesque sound coupled with a heitened passion, this trio plays with soul and love. My new favorite trio.

anothe

N.E.r.d!!! New song!!!

Hundred dolla bills!!! Achoooo! Achoo!

Moby and lil reed!

Lil reed and moby!!!

Take a walk on the wild side....wtf!!! Moby plays the guitar?

N.E.R.D.

During their striking performance at the Fort Levi's Fader Party on Thursday night, Skateboard P and his homeboys Chad and the crew threw it down, with funky baselines, amazing guitar riffs and most of all a hype demanding chant!

The harpoons!

Doin a tribute with lil reed at the levis show...mel: is the mother of israel...she came all the way from chicago to support her son israel, the youg and ambitious indie rock singer from chi town. Mel: he's a great song writer....and I love him


If only all our mothers understood! I praise the whole supportive relationship they share, because it brews creativity ....and most of all, spawns a love that transcends reality.
