I FEEL like i just turned 18....

Im in a "BE HAppy that You're Alive" Mood.Sure i'm not 17 anymore, Im in college now and every year i get more responsibilities. That every month and year I learn and grow from my mistakes and experiences. And I still have my dreams, goals, Free will,Free Spirit mentality in me which is the silver lining in this life =)

TO me What matters is that: I still feel like I'm 18 and In my prime !!

Jaggernaut Nights Summer '10

This Summer by far has been Amazing and Fun ; yes a whirlwind of crazy Parties,Sake shots,Drama ,House Parties,me getting kicked out of venues,Music Festivals .Also let's not forget me waking up in the couch in my friend's basement [previous House party] in BErkeley then Val and me walking in the morning and We see Naive little freshmen for orientation Tour and me Yelling "WElcome to College, Kids!! ha ha" then flippin them off and running .
Anyways ,i've come to a realization that there's a time and place when people shouldn't give a shit and when they should care (depending on the situation). This quote just fits how i feel lately , it sounds philosophical. In other words I am who I am take it or leave it....

"I'd rather be hated for who i am than loved for who i am not"--Kurt Cobain

R.I.P. Kurt

Now and then

This song holds many memories to me
That I hold close to my heart
When I listen to this song it reminds me of
When i was 13 I was free ,care free with no worries
yeah I know I keep bringing up my teens
Only because Im finding closure with teen years
On June 19th

back then i started getting into the cure and Uk bands
I’d stumble upon cds at the local music stores
I purchased “Staring at the sea: the singles”
a gem of a cd rarely found nowadays
“Charlotte sometimes” is based on a book about a girl
That does time traveling it’s a complex plot

my perspective on life has changed a loooot since then
I sit and reflect about what were the sorts of things on my mind back then?
I laugh, giggle ,smile that I know all the adventures and memories I went through
Sort of experiences
Back then I wondered what my life would be like in the future
And now I cherish and smile at how life was simple back then
Time flies by I know i'm not the only one who feels that way
So cheers to my 20th birthday and many more to come !

poems,creative writing

Titled: Cupid's concept
Written : June 2008

Be careful what you wish for,
sincerity let it behold in my eyes
For a while
The truth is on hold once we let go of the lies


The truth is untold ,the truth is untold
let it unfold before my eyes

If my glass if half full
Let me empty it by drinking
All of it
I’ve drank it by now
Just to be next to you

Only you make it worthwhile
For all the fullness
Let it behold
What I told you went untold
To another fool

Beauty is in the eye if the beholder
So what am I
In your eyes
The one ?

Didn’t get Cupid’s concept
I didn’t know what love was
Before you
Came into the picture
What was that concept?

Before I met you
We weren’t acquainted
Nor with Cupid
After 9 nine years later
A date was Long and overdue

Let’s leave in the past
Before we take a toast

Let me rephrase
Never knew what love was
Before I met you


Now I wish
cupid and I never lunched

-by Janny R.

kinda new poem

Title: My Day consists of this
written: 12/27/09


My day consist of this
Waiting in this shitty town
Not my hometown
But it is where I reside

Another shitty job
Gone gone
Waiting for another one
To come along

So I grab any ride
Could be a bus
The train
But I go where I go

My day consists of this
Looking for some event
And for an adventure
Searching for another
Solitary soul
Another party
Another bohemian soul
Another glass of wine
Another good friend of mine

Another mystical groovy store
Down in the city
Another store like haight
Not necessarily there
Another bum walks by preaching of faith

Another older person
On the bus
Telling me and a friend
about life and
that we’re young
And “to savor my youth”
Whatever that means
“Enjoy these years!”
While im still here
While im still here
In body in this society

My day consists of this
Writing random phrases
Of these phases
Roaming days on end my room
And reading a book
Or two

Every day I believe
In this higher being
So then I listen to advice
about:
don’t listen to the man!

No one follows my beliefs
But I will know what I believe
Hard to set apart what is true
And what false

I’m tired of these false prophets
Telling me what to wear
What to listen to
I’ll do what I do
I’ll be me!

i hope this isn't a hoax,"Aurora mystery solved?"

"On Jan. 20, 2010, Per-Arne Mikalsen was photographing a vast aurora erupting over the northern Norwegian town of Andenes.

Because solar activity is on the increase, aurora spotters have many opportunities to see the Northern Lights. On this particular night the aurora was intense, stretching toward the southern latitudes of Norway.In one of the photographs taken by Mikalsen was an "object" that couldn't be identified. Although Mikalsen had taken several images at the same location, just one photo showed a mysterious green parachute-like object hanging with the main aurora. (This time, it appears that the Russian military was not involved in the making of this strange shape in the sky.)
At first it seemed easy to dismiss the object as a lens flare or a spot on the camera lens, but after further study it became clear that the answer wasn't that simple. The mystery shape in the aurora over Andenes, Norway, wider angle (photograph by Per-Arne Mikalsen)

Also, Mikalsen is no stranger to aurorae, having worked on Andøya Rocket Range (on the island of Andøya) for many years. He's seen aurorae of all shapes and sizes, but he'd never before seen a structure like this hanging in the sky.
"I have been working the Andøya Rocket Range for 25 years (the 20 last years in the management) and I have become more and more fascinated by the aurora," Mikalsen told Discovery News. "Photography is a hobby for me."

According to Mikalsen, as soon as he posted his aurora photographs on the Spaceweather.com Northern Lights Gallery, he received dozens of emails from all over the world requesting more information about the mysterious shape."Additionally the color of the 'phenomenon' is the same as the color in the aurora, the auroral green line from atomic oxygen," Hansen continued, "so the 'phenomenon' is either a genuine auroral feature or a reflection of auroral light somewhere in space."

cupcake still life by Janny :)

Loe Reed said "my soul must be saved",so i transcended time and the past as i wrote this to finish where i started....

this piece of writing is a follow up to a previous poem i wrote that won a contest in poetry.com back in '03, recently i found closure. Funny that back then i listened to a lot of the Velvet Underground and now i like their songs even more in depth since i know now their motive was to make experimental sound in music; which is my goal in progress to be an innovator as far as creative writing...

-Janny

i dreamt Thom yorke singing to me last night; so now i found the courage to post this

This piece i wrote two years ago, call it poetry,freewriting, inspiration, art......it is not based on real life nor reference to anyone...

minute of sketches drawing

So while i was sitting in a table with my cousins and their friends...
at some party in san bruno,waiting for the crappy music to go away lol.
i got a bit bored so I drew this, it was like 8pm ish,it's kinda legit considering
it was just random doodle drawing:
