Isaiah's Finds of the Week

Getting to do something - for me, is to enjoy it. Having to do something is a chore. Having to do something is most times dreadful. Even weekly or regular things for me I can still see as getting to do something. Like rehearsing with my band or remastering Records - it’s all fun. But having to put gas in the truck, go to the store, make dump runs - that sucks and i HAVE to do it.

Regardless to say, this was likely the BUSIEST weekend of 2018 for myseld. On Friday I woke up around 6 AM, loaded up my DJ equipment and prepared for the annual West Coast Kustoms Cruisin’ Nationals Friday night cruise; it’s my annual tradition to spin oldies during the cruise and people know me well there. As well as having to set up at 10 AM, I also got ready to attend my mom’s Allan Hancock College graduation! Just before the graduation, I picked up a Corsage for my lovely Corina as Sunday was prom. After attending the ceremony, I rushed to the cruise and commenced the classics!!! I got home around 11 AM, then woke up the next day and prepared for a gig with my band - The Drive-In Romeos at the West Coast Kustoms Car Show at the fairgrounds. We played a great set and people from all over watched us. People from Japan, Australia, the U.K. - and many other states. After the car show, I went to an after party myself and my folks were invited to, hosted by my friend Chuco at Vinylistic...

what makes something funny? I don’t know, it just happens

Ooo well, let’s say I always think of whats to come. I know I’m focused when stuff is going how I planned it to be. I like to take it a day at a time with my future always in mind and how I can improve the future through my experiences throughout the day. I am a very busy person and I’ve been for a while lately. I’ve found it’s best to keep a written record of what I need to do so that way I’m never lost.

Yoselyn’s presentation was good because it explored multiple career fields AND Gee brought cookies. A win win

Me, I’m always thinking about what’s to come. I always think of the future because I wonder if it will be good. Sadly, time and unforeseen occurrences beset us all; and I always hope that no matter what obstacle I face, I will overcome it! My thinking is influenced by what I do now and how it’s going to affect my future. I’ve akways thought this way and I don’t see it changing any time soon. However, maybe I shouldn’t be so anxious about the future, sometimes I feel like taking it one day at a time is the answer to being happy and balanced.

A time I took responsibility for something was when the band fell short of some money for Washington D.C and I put together a car show for our cause! This all took place last Saturday, May 12th. I was able to help raise almost $3,000! We had Vaqueras and HanoHano Shaved Ice cater to us, as well as a few car clubs that brought out their cars for our cause. We all had a great time - live music by local DJ’s and even performances by Umo and The Drive-In Romeos! What was the best for me? Knowing I worked hard to put this together, it made me proud and it made me happy knowing I was able to bring our community together for a good cause. It is certainly something I’ll always remember.
