Mission District San Francisco

I spent the afternoon with my cousin, Tay. We walked all over the Mission District in San Francisco. There are all these totally cool murals in that part of town.

I was really happy to see a public telephone, too. There aren't always so many public telephones around here anymore.

Tree House Down

Today, mom and I tried to take the treehouse down. I can't fit in it anymore. It's nothing but like a fallen antique in our back yard.

Well, the last two weeks have been so swamped with school work and getting my film (The Math Test) done that I haven't been able to write. I think that I haven't been able to mostly...well, sometimes when school is almost over, you start to crash. You're forced to keep going because you have to get all this work in. But, for your body, school is over.

But all the while, I have learned so much about History that I am totally inspired to become my own artist in life. I did my history paper on T.E. Lawrence and Lawrence of Arabia. I think what's great about that story was that he thought he was helping the Arabs to fight for freedom. He thought he was going to leave them to freedom, but what happened was that the tribes were fighting over each other even though he was able to get them to work together to defeat the Turks. Even though they were with him, fighting the Turks, they were still at each others' throats.

And then the Sykes-Picot Agreement (the British and the French) divided up the Middle East. Of course, Prince Feisal shouldn't have gone along with it, but he thought he needed the English to create a united Arab nation. He was a man ahead of his time. Way way ahead...cause now it isn't even close to happening. Seems like Prince Feisal can see past our future.

Ja Mata Ashita!

What a day! I filmed with Duo Dynamic (that's Robert on the left, coaching me on my scene), my favorite production team for another "World's Most Astonishing News!" which is a Japanese TV game show. They reenact these terrible events that happen in the most dangerous country in the world (the USA) and then make it into a game show with clues. Today's episode is called "Pool Boy." I won't tell you about it because I don't want to give it away. I got to jump in the pool with all my clothes. No, I am not the Pool Boy. Ja Mata Ashita!

After that, I went into San Francisco to work on preparing my singing. I love singing and my teacher is really great.

But, I couldn't wait to get home to take a bath. I was cold and chorinified from the pool.
