Forever 21...

I dont know how many of you know I work at Forever 21 but I do. Working there is pretty tiresome but fun at the same time because of your coworkers. I've noticed that a lot of their items are very fashionable but poorly made. All of their pieces are made in Vietnam just to throw that out there but dont mean anything by it. Mr. Chang, the founder of Forever 21, has some great designs just needs to have their material made better. I once bought a jacket from there once and it had pockets everywhere but the only problem was that I couldnt put my hands into the pockets. The stupid pockets were sewn shut! Who the hell does that, really?! I mean, yeah some things come like that but these pockets had baggies just for your hands. So next time you buy something there, just be careful. Hopefully I dont get in trouble for this...

No-time

Damn man... I hardly have anytime on my hands now with my new job. Forever 21 has me working so late. I don't know if that's a good thing because I get a lot of hours but I do know Ima get bank Friday. The majority of it is going to my college fund though but that's still a good thing.

Blog soon,

The Promise

This goes to all of my readers, I promise you all that I will go out into the world and be the best I can be, I will do my best in college, I will come back from fashion shows being a top designer, travel around the world, make my own clothing line, and have my own retail store. Obviously this isn't going to be something you accomplish in a few years; this will actually take several. I hope that my current supporters are still there to witness my becoming.

Love you guys,
Mparra

Back on the wagon

Okay I think it's time I get back into my cycle. I haven't blogged for a while because my mom was in an accident, as some of you know. I wasn't really capable of writing in the situation I was in. My mother was in a rollover in the desert with my best friend/brother, uri. They were on their way to pick up a deer that my dad had killed. Uri came out fine but my mom broke quite a few bones. She broke a couple of ribs on her right, a rear rib on her left, some spine bones, and something around her collar. A doctor said that she was going to need surgery but another doctor said differently. He said that my mom didn't need surgery and she was going to be able to heal up all on her own. I'm glad that nothing worse happened and I still have both of them here with me.

The Countdown


Not so long until I move to the BIG CITY. I'll be counting down the months until then, and once I move, I'll be seeing the lights and breating in the new inspiration that is afloat. San Francisco is going to be my haven for NEW IDEAS and AMAZING ART. Right now Im just in the process of saving up money for my dorm deposit and for my MacBook. After that stuff I'll be picking out my classes and organizing my scheduele. The picture on the right is something my friend, Chris, and I drew. I'll be getting these kind of drawings on shirts soon. Tell me what you all think. PEACE OUT..

The Gay Family

Tucson's Gays are so wonderful. Yesterday was the Gay Pride Parade. Sadly it wasnt much of a great turnout as I thought it would be but I still had a awesome time. Today was an even better day. Today was Pride In The Desert which is a gay festival at Reid Park. There was thousands of gays there and it was such an awesome event to experience. You see all of the gays in the community and the people that support them. Somehow I ended up joining the Tucson's Men's Chorus, Reveille. I think that's how you spell it. I start my audition on Monday. They told me that we're going to be using the back room and to just relax my throat! Haha but they were just kidding. Im glad to see all of my people coming together and having a great time. It's not just the Gay stereotype of drinking, dancing, and listening to up-beat music, but having a good time with friends and making memories.

Mr. Winslow's Beliefs

Where do I start? Mr. Winslow is a Senior English teacher at Sunnyside High School who should keep his mouth shut about things he shouldnt be talking about. Today he rambled on once again about religion. It seems to me that he's trying to prove that God exists to his students and I dont see how that is related to english in any way. He's talking about Time and Space and how Einstein proved that God exists. That was just the annoying part but today he decided to go further and "discuss" about Adam and Eve.
"Woman was made from Adam's side, not from his feet to be lower than him, and not from his head to be higher than him, but from his side to be just as equal. Adam and Eve were the first marriage and man and woman were meant to be together. Marriage is between a Man and a Woman", said Winslow. If you ask me, Man and Woman were made equal, just like Winslow said. If a Woman is just as equal to a Man then what's the fuss about, Winslow, isn't a Woman marrying a Man just as equal to a Man marrying a Man? Now the only thing Im debating right now is whether to complain about this or not. What do the readers think?

Homecoming/Senior Realization

Wow, highschool just hit me. This is my last year and what do I have to show for it. I have a diploma but I don't think I've made much bonds with as much people I would have liked. I'm just going to be another person that went to this school. I know that's what everyone is to each other but to ones self they have great memories with friends. I wish I could have had more of those memories. Is this when I start to sadden due to my senior year? I'll make the most of it I it is.

AAU...


Im a college student now!!! Well sorta.. because Im not attending yet but whatever. So excited I cant help it/I have to spit a rhyme and melt it/Life is so typical it starts and you end it/new beginnings til the ending. HAHAHA that was so wack to the fullest but its true. I got accepted at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and Im too excited to work out now. Going to try my best to do so though. All I have to do is my FAFSA and some Grants. Well wish me luck!!

I punch Debt in the Face

Once again we are trying to bring down this debt that follows us everywhere like the dark clouds in cartoons. The stupid debt from Dell has me so frustrated its not funny one bit. With the amount we have to pay off I could buy my MacBook plus software that I need. Damn you Credit Card companies and your Greed. How many people's dreams and hearts do you have to crush in order to make yourself happier? Right now your stomping on mine and that shit pisses me off. If only I could show the companies how much it hurts. Fuck... writing here isnt helping my family out one bit but Im venting and Im trying to help my mom again. I hope that once I leave for College I wont put so much stress on them with my expenses. Im just in the pursuit of happiness.

Venture through my world..

Walking with the sunset smiling upon my face, I think to myself, there is more out there I haven't seen yet. I want to see it all. I want to see Tokyo, San Francisco, Paris, Spain, Italy, Rome, and more. I want to show the world my imagination.

Kid Cudi inspires..


The best artist in Hip Hop and Rap to ever come, in my opinion. His lyrics are so fresh, genius and inspirational. If you can, go out and buy his cd. Love it so much that I came up with the money in change.

Smoothness beaneath my feet..


Nothing feels better than the roll of your hard rubber wheels upon the smoothest concrete. Riding along, it feels like nothing can stop you as long as you keep pushing. Push and you roll. Roll and you will go. Go and you will come upon something new. Feel it.

I hope to collaborate with this guy someday because he has a great taste for fashion, fabric, and design. He is very down to earth and states the truth. I hope he becomes a great success in the Fashion Industry. Love ya Judon.

The most precious woman in my life

It hurts me so much to see my mother cry. It hurts me even more when I have to hold her as she cries. Right now we dont have much money but there's my dad, giving fucking money to cousins he hardly ever sees. If only he knew how deep we were in the shithole. We have to pay for so much stuff and my mom told me that she's not sure if we can do it. It's kind of selfish of me to ask my mom help for my MacBook. Im trying to work for my own money right now so I dont have to ask my mom. Im going to have a talk with my father tomorrow because apparently someone has to be a fucking adult. My mom told me to put up one of the cars we have on craigslist in order to get some money. I think I might sell my PS3 and my car if I have to. If it stops my mom from crying, I'll do it.

Kanye and Taylor

Oh wow! Did that just happen?! Kanye west totally embarassed Taylor swift in front of millions! Taylor swift received her vma award and was doing her acceptance speech and out of nowhere comes kanye and rudely says, "I'll let you finish but I think that beyonce deserves the award. Her video is the best." I like kanye and a but that was a dick move. She was really excited to go up and I don't know if she gave back the award.

VME Pain Olympics...

Holy crap... I am traumatized. I feel sick and speechless. I highly recommend not watching this but if youre curious and would like to find out what Im talking about, go ahead and search on google "VME Pain Olympics". I would put up a link from where I saw it but I found the video on a porn site so... you get the idea. Here's my reaction to the video. It's terrifying.

Stealing from my grandma..


Damn... I never thought that stealing from my grandma would be this great. I actually never thought I would do it, but here I am. Glad I did or else I wouldnt have this bad ass, small cutoff t-shirt I made. So Sick. Made it just in time for the game tomorrow. Now that I have a sewing machine I can use, I will probably be making my bags soon. I was supposed to have them at the beginning of this school year but I failed to deliver. Im going to try really hard to get them out so Subscribe!!

A better comprehension..

I think I might start sending my blogs on the GO. This way I can send the complex way I think. It's kind of hard remembering later on when so much shit goes on throughout the day. Check it. You may understand me better.

Arizona v.s. CMU


Fuck You CMU! Fuck You CMU! Wow, tonight was great. I just came back from the first UA football game of the season. Arizona won and thats just the first of many. It was pretty cool because I was on the field taking shots of everything. I had an all access pass and I was walking around like a G and going where ever the fuck I wanted. Same time next week Im going to be effin tailgating, getting hit on by girls that are barking up the wrong tree, and enjoying another game. Wish I could post up one of my pics on here but I dont have any of the ones I took tonight. I'll just give ya this one. Peace!

Options..

Having the ability to do something doesnt mean you should do it, right? I have a new job now and that means I'll be getting cash. Should I do the right thing and save up for my new MacBook or should I blow it on Raybans and a G-shock watch? Im pretty sure I should do the right think and save up. I mean, just because you have the cure for AIDS doesnt mean you should share it with the world. Haha I make horrible analogies. Well to end the story, Im going to save the money for my MacBook. I should really find an interesting story to write about. Hmm... I should go downtown and find someone to interview. We'll see. Peace!

My love has gone...


Seriously, I cant get over the fact that Sunnyside got rid of swimming. I really dont know what to believe since I heard two stories of why the coach is gone. Story number one is that he got accepted into Emory University, which is in Atlanta, Georgia. I was really upset when I heard the news because I was really looking forward to my senior year of swimming. I trained all summer for it and then it's gone. The second story I heard was that he got laid off from Sunnyside. Both of the stories are pretty believable but I heard the first story from the coach himself, Stephen Crabbe. It breaks my heart in two when I think about swimming now. It used to get my heart racing whenever I thought about it. I think the best part about swimming was the meets, you not only raced against other swimmers but against yourself. No other sport can replace swimming in my heart. I'll try running with Cross Country but my knee might mess up like last time. We'll see. LATER

Im an idiot..


Gosh dude Im so dumb. I was on my way to get my tattoo redone but I stopped at my cousins to pick him up first. While waiting for him in his front yard, I decided to do some hand stands on the brick wall. I didnt get it right the first time so I was going to try again. I hesitated and thought to myself, "wait.. what if I fall? Nah!". I tried it again and got it, but then I fell. I lost my balance and my right arm gave in, falling face first into the brick wall. OUCH ;(

New Pic..


Here's a shot that I took and edited myself. Tell me what you think of it. I would love some feedback. It was pretty funny when I took this picture because I got kicked out from the spot I was at right after I took it. Im glad I got the shot right before.Im so worried that someone is going to take this picture from here. I hope nobody does. It's Piracy! Well just give some feedback on it. Peace.

Skate Love..

This is motherfucking Skating. This video never fails to amaze me and show me that Skating is more than a sport. Skateboarding is a Lifestyle. The video shot "Wild In The Streets 2009" in Vancouver, Canada. Wild in The Streets happens on "Go Skate Day" which is June 21 of every year. Go Skate day is an International Holiday for all skaters around the world. Sadly, I missed this recent Go Skate Day but am looking forward to the next one in 2010. Maybe I will be attending the next Wild In The Streets. For anyone that is down to take a Joy Ride for Wild in The Streets with me, message me. A skater's worst enemy is the COPS. Nobody likes them and they always try to stop you for having fun. I dont see what is so wrong with skating. I know that skating on ledges, banks, and etc. destroys them but cops dont have to be such PRICKS and DISCRIMINATE. I got kicked out of a public area Downtown last time just for walking with my skateboard. That is just plain ridiculous. Skating will have a revolution soon. Peace.

Back on the meds...


Sweet, now I get to be an Emotionless Zombie again!! I swear, I think I get addicted to these drugs sometimes when Im feeling down. Depakote is a mood suppressant and keeps me from having manic episodes. Im taking them for my seizures and Im pretty sure it will help since I've been having a little bit of attacks here and there. I really hope I dont become very dull and addicted. Here's to good health, oh yeah and theyre possibly fatal and could give me liver disease. See ya!

Moving on...

Tonight was an amazing night! I hung out with my Sunnyside Alumni friends and we were making Smores outside in the fire. We later started to roast Weiners because the smores were getting messy haha. Having a great time with my friends made me realize how much I missed them. We talked about their graduation and how unreal it felt to them. It was just like something you only see in movies and never get to experience in real life. I really hope I have the same feeling when it's my turn. They also told me how they felt like nothing changed after they graduated, but to me it's like youre going to leave and make plans for the rest of your life. I find it strange when you leave High School because when you leave, there's nothing left to remember you by. Yeah there's Yearbooks and memories that you made but whose really going to think of you when you leave? Your parents? I believe growing up slowly tears away at the Fun, Playful, Spirited person you are and only you can stop that. Im not saying dont grow up but dont lose the inner child.Haha That sounded so cheezy. For people that are in High School right now, you should really make the best of it you can, hang out with friends and make memories. Dont go drinking though! Haha Im only saying because whos really going to remember that night you did that keg stand at that party? A bunch of drunks who dont remember the majority of the night? Well it's pretty late so im going to sleep. Goodnight guys.

The First Day of School..

Most of my classes are filled with students under my class. It's pretty funny how things change when you become a senior. Most of your classes that youre taking are just there for the hell of it. There's only two classes that are not there for the hell of it for me, it's art and adv. Fashion. When I first stepped into the fashion class I didnt know what to expect. I was a bit scared but I saw my long lost friend, Lizeth. She was the only person I knew in there besides Gerald and his "Fag Hags". Not calling them names or anything its just what you call chicks that hang with Gays. We started out by getting to know each other. That was really fun (sarcasm to the max). I just went along with it even though I didnt have to know a lot of these peoples names. It seemed to me like a lot of people were in there just because they liked clothes. I know Fashion is about clothes but its not just that. Its an Art that someone creates and Im pretty sure a lot of people werent in there for that. Well I believe I'll find out who actually knows about fashion when it comes to the sewing machines. My art class was really stupid as well. I signed up for painting and drawing and the stupid bitch decides to play by her own rules and makes it a ceramics class just because they took it away from her. I was going to stay and make a bong but I think I'll change to painting. Let's see what the second day of senior year brings me. See you all tomorrow!

Back to School!!

I hope Everyone has got everything they need for their return to school. The First Day is going to be Socially and Fashionably Ballistic!! Youve got to dress to impress. Im pretty sure everyone has been shopping at their favorite clothing retail store and totally forgot what school was about. I know I did. I still have to go shopping for my school materials. Probably going to hit up Wal-Mart or Target. Most likely Target for the good stuff and Walmart for the papers and pens. Target has a fashion uprising happening and I wanna check that out. For the people Dressing to Impress, look good because I'll be taking pics. Dont wanna look HIDEOUS!

The finished work..


Here is the crappy pic I took of the finished work of Stephanie C.R. I think it looks pretty good. If you guys want a tattoo as well, you can call her at (520) 445-0308. More pics will be put up later on that Stephanie took.

My ink..

Damn that night sucked! It was great and all but it hurt like a mofo. It was like having someone rub your bad sunburn and poke at it. Here are some pics. I'm not showing my arm just yet because it's unfinished but there are these.

The missing post...

A lot of you may not know me personally and that's why I am writing this. I believe only two people know this about me, Uriel Salinas and Zulema Salinas. *chuckle*... I actually thought that my so called brother would have had a little more sympathy for me when I told him this but I was mistaken. This person I spent my whole childhood with had disappeared. He seems to have just walked away and forgotten everything he once loved. This new person he has become, I don't know. Zulema on the other hand, talked to me about this problem I had. She comforted me in a way. She still does to this day even though we don't talk about it. She is just there for me whenever I need her. Growing up as a child I noticed I was different. I wasn't like all of the other boys that chased around all of the girls around and I wasn't one of the little kids in the family that looked up to their older brother. I actually grew looking up to my two older sisters and playing childhood games on my street; such as "El Paso, Texas". My Best Friend back then was Uri. He and I were very close and we would always sleep over each other's house. Hanging out with him and my other friends changed everything. It made me forget all of the wrong in my head. This wrong came from my mother and her Bible, the Bible that kept my mind running without stops, the Bible that lead me to believe I was not meant to be alive. It started with my mother telling me that homosexuality was wrong and her taking me and my sister to church every week. Those words that came out of my mothers mouth thad day never left me. I fought myself over and over trying to think what was wrong with me and why I was like this and finally came to a conclusion. I took the fist opportunity I had and tried to end the horrid suffering I was dealing with. I was home alone and knew what I had to do. I opened my room door and walked into the kitchen. I looked for the kitchen blade I had always seen my mom cutting chicken with. I found it and tried to think for a second but nothing came to my head. I raised the blade up to my chest and probably stood there for about an hour. I slowly pushed the blade's point against my chest and cried. I cried because I didnt know why god made me this way or why I was even born. Still standing, I heard the door open. I hurried and placed the blade back where it belonged. My mother came in and asked what I was doing. Lying, I told her I was just looking for something to eat. I scurried back to my room and thought for hours. I cried myself to sleep that night. I tried again a couple of times but they were all failed attempts. This is what I told my so called brother, Uri. After telling him this and getting the cheap, fake sympathy, I knew he was gone. I know he and I still have a bond but maybe just not as strong. This has been a factor to my recent Shitty Feelings. Oh well. I just hope I get better. Till laters.

The Brother I Never Knew..



It was pretty sick tonight. I went bowling with a bunch of my family and just had fun. Played a couple games of pool and beat all of their asses. Here are a couple of pics of my bro. He has the same name by the way. He was acting kinda weird idk why but he wanted to show off his tattoo too but it didnt show in the pic. He's from somewhere around Yuma and Cali. Im not sure where but yeah. Mofo's short haha. I guess the only other time I met him was when I was in his arms. He's my father's other son.

Bitch ass cops...

Cops always try to pull you over for the stupidest reasons. Second time in two months that a cop tried to stop me for traffic laws I was supposedly not obeying. This time it was failing to yield at a stop sign. Well he was nice enough to let me go so I guess all cops arent that bad.

Last Night's Dream was Insane!!!

It started with the crisis siren sounding. Everybody knew what it meant, even though I'm pretty sure no one has ever heard it in real life. Panicking, I ran down my street and met up with my friend. I wish I knew who this friends was because all I could see when I looked at his face was a blur. He gave me a special bike that was made in the early years of flying. I hesitated and couldn't take off yet. I knew I had to say goodbye to my lover. I turned my head and there he was, in my friends yard. I ran to him and gave him a kiss that we would both never forget. I ran back to the bike without looking back, for if I did, I knew I wouldn't be able to leave. I started the motor and the propeller in front of the handlebars started rotating. I started pedaling and before I knew it, I was flying. Hours, Days, and Months turned to minutes for me up there in the blue sky. Below me I could see destruction being caused by Tanks and War Vehicles. Explosions rose high into the sky and blinded me with beauty. Interested, I landed where the explosions were and asked a man in a military uniform what was happening, and that's when he told me that the war was over and we have won.

Senior Year Scheduele...

Well my idea of scanning the scheduele in wasnt so great. It came out really not high Def so..

Last nights post...

Last nights post was nothing but heart and I know a lot of you didnt get to read it. I took it down because I think I may have bashed somebody pretty hard on there. If you didnt get to read it and would like to, message me, give me your email, and I'll send it to you.

All My Hope..

I am terrified of my future. I do not know what to expect, what to do, how to do, or when to do it. I am choosing The Fashion Institute of Technology. Who knows, if my mind doesnt change then Im going there. I am so hesitant right now because I dont want to move so far away from my loved ones. The second choice is in San Francisco and that isnt that far. I know I have a better chance of doing what I love in New York but its the fear that stops me. How do I overcome this? How do I choose what is best for me? Should I follow my gut and go to New York? Should I follow my heart and go to San Francisco? I want to walk with the Legends in New York. As long as there is Hope, there is chance... Right? Fuck me... again. I am a Legend...

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

Fuck Me...

I guess I am going to have to push the arrival of my bags a bit later because at this current moment I dont have a sewing machine but hopefully I wont have to. My friend might pay to fix my sewing machine so I might make the deadline. I'll be posting up new Blogs to keep you posted. For those of you expecting a bag from me, I'm sorry and I am trying my best to make them in time for school. Well lets just all hope for the best. Till Later.

Just My Luck..


Like I didnt have enough to worry about. I now have a parking ticket for $119 or more. Fucking Ticket Givers... I was just a couple minutes late to the fucking parking meter. Oh well thats just my luck. Im going to have to sell the bags Im going to make. Theyre going to be going for $35 each and theyre all going to be original. Not one of them are going to be the same to each other. I know it sounds like a lot of money but PLEASE???? I really need the money to pay off my ticket. I just bought the material so I'll show you what its going to be made of. Pretty sick right?? Yeah I know. Well you guys should just check it out when theyre finished. Keep checking the Blog to stay posted on how its coming out. Peace.

Effing Money...

Damn it man... I feel horrible. Here I am buying my clothes and my mom is under me like a doormat. I ask and she gives, but she doesnt tell me the current position we are in. If we arent able to pay the bank, they take our house away, and the parents are fighting over money that my dad owes my mom. Today, I spent the whole evening helping my mom organize and try to pay off her debts. We still have a long way to go but we'll make it.

Most children dont bother to even think what their parents have to go through in order to please them and tend to their every need. Those new shoes that you just bought could have helped pay off bills, debt, or maybe just buy your mom that dress shes been eyeing for a couple MONTHS. Next time before you ask your parents for something, ask what they would like.

Peace.

Amazing People


These two men, Ralph Rueben Lifshitz (aka Ralph Lauren, the one in the picture) and Calvin Richard Klein, have to be two of the best Male Designers. These two men were both raised in the Bronx of New York City and grew up to become... awesome?? I dont think I can really come up with a word to describe these two, but they were beyond extraordinary. You have to give them credit for where they came from and for what they have accomplished. They both have SOMEWHAT similar designs and they both are astonishing. I cant go into full detail of their history but these men arent perfect.
Ralph Lauren went to college and studied business for two years and then dropped out. He then served two years in the United States Army. He gained experience in the fashion industry by landing a job as a salesman. He then opened up a Neck-tie store under his designs and grew to be a Billion dollar business.
Calvin Klein attended the High School of Industrial Art but never graduated. He didnt give up there. He then attended FIT (The Fashion Institute of Technology) and graduated with a Honorary Doctorate. Full of knowledge, Calvin Klein obtained an apprenticeship and designed for New York shops. Later he opened his business with a friend and it just grew from there.
These two men's stories goes to show that if you really want it, you can have it.

Traveling to new lands...

Pretty wack Blog name but oh well. I think Im going to have to go pretty far to find the material I need to make my bags... Oh well. I think Im going to make them Ralph Lauren style. Yeah... that sounds pretty good. Once I buy the material, I'll post them up here and Twitter. These bags are going to be sick. I was thinking about posting up my designs, BUT thats probably not a good idea. Anyone could just effing take them and say that its theirs ya know?? Well I'll just post up the pics of the material once I get it. I think It'll be a week from now so yeah... not too long. I think I might be selling them too. Hmm... Well I already have a client and she said she really wanted one so not a bad idea. Well hit me up and Peace Out.
