I have fallen and refuse to get up

... Until winter haha.

This is kind of old news, but I lowered my car on Jay's old Omni Power coilovers a little more than a month ago. Took me three days, and quite a bit of elbow grease. I had a friend of mine do the fronts, and left it alone till the next day, and then started on the rears at a different location. Shit was fun, cuz I got to actually tinker around with my car other than cosmetic shit. The only problem was breaking old bolts.... that stuff was pissed me off. I ended up spending forty bucks on new bolts. Oh well.

Riding lower feels good, it's funny being eye level with people's door handles, the only thing is, my little stuffed animal on my tow hook has died... lol. I don't have much else to say. So.......... pics!

Summer is here, I'm working a lot. Cali will be good. See you in a few online readers. New painting is coming soon.

I miss it.

I wasn't always as big into this whole car thing as I am now, and lately it's been just school and cars. But before it was school and art and cars. That was back in high school, mostly just because in high school, I had real motivation, my AP studio art class. Man, I really do miss it. I haven't painted in MONTHS, and I've had that itch. I was looking through my old paintings and I kind of want to rework some of them, but on the other hand, I've been drawing like a madman lately; doodling in classes, drawing plans for new paintings, just drawing whatever pops up in my head. I miss having paintings due every two weeks, staying up until the sun comes up and taking a quick nap before having to go to school. I think I'm kinda going crazy. I need to get my art on for reals. This summer will be fore sure a good summer for art. I won't let it not be.

Pic of the post:

This photo was taken by my friend Izumi "Izi" Kato a little more than a year ago. This was near the end of my AP studio class, and I was painting a piece that I'm not really that proud of now a days. It's funny, because this is one of my favorite photos of myself. It's kind of weird seeing how clean this desk is now that it's not completely covered in art supplies. This desk is gonna be soooooooo messy this summer haha.

One month later...

Okay, so I'm slackin still. WHAT EVS!

It's been damn near TWO YEARS that I've been doing this blogging thing. And I always say that I'm going to actually do stuff to my car, but now, things are actually happening.

Prepare for a picture heavy post:

First up, I cleaned that black shit off my tail lights, looking so fresh and clean. I'm soooooooooooo happy, I feel like it's a new car every time I walk up to it from behind haha.

Next, NEW STICKERS! Don't need pics lol, they'll show up sooner or later. Oh, and you can see the new tow hook, iLL Garage, represent! haha. And, my tow hook, is not lonely.

I got a new set of coilovers from my buddy Jay, it's getting installed soon, just need a place to do it.

How the car sits now (this will be my before shot, an "after" shot will come some time soon):

Happy Mico!

THANK YOU TO CLIFTON FOR MOST OF THESE PHOTOS!!!!! BAD ASS YO!

A death in Japan, a super sad guy in Illinois

I feel horrible for not knowing this seeing as the man has been dead for nearly a month now. But Jun Seba, also known as Nujabes, the man responsible for the entire Samurai Champloo soundtrack has died. He was a hip-hop producer, and DJ from Japan, that put beats together like no other. Every song he was a part of has so much of his swag in it, and it's SO DOPE. I can't get over the fact that he won't be making anymore music.
