pacific high school
i never finished a whole year at one school.
my kindergarten was on a closed down ohio naval base. they tore it down part way through that year.
first grade got moved to a portable. i moved half way through second. third grade the building
got torn down. 5-6th i moved 4 times to different schools. finally ended up in california.
pacific highschool was shut down at the end of 10th grade. it was the newest school built in
sanleandro at the time but was on the "wrong side of the tracks"
this video is from one of the times we broke into the school after they closed it. creepy as hell.
i tore the clock off the cafeteria wall that was stopped at 3:00. the hour we got let out.
1988.
the music is night ranger

we all got moved to the rival highschool, sanleandro hi. one of the more violent times of my life. there was a full blown race riot that made national headlines, they
installed metal detectors and security cameras and narcs patrolled the halls.

aurielia aurita
lake merritt oakland was where many
creeks met the sf.bay. really its a
tidal lagoon. there are cement
tunnels flowing from the s.f. bay
into the lake.
this jelly fish was stuck in muck
in lake merritt,
even though the lake and its creeks
have been reshaped and mostly covered by concrete the critters still
come, still an occasional salmon
tries to spawn unsuccessfully into
the sewers. crabs, jellyfish,fish and others
get into the "lake" and get trapped.
this one went to an oakland birthday party and
listened to the band "bulbs" before it was released
back into the bay.

- I was going to use this as a "story of the bus escapades" however, i often like other peoples version of what happened more that how i saw it. these are only my versions from where i saw it. i do lots of other things besides the bus - so ill stray.
