Quote Of The Day
Me talking about a co-worker
"You see, he's trying to befriend me and I'm not feeling it!"
"You see, he's trying to befriend me and I'm not feeling it!"
Last Night
After a long ass day of working almost 15 hours yesterday. I was on my way home and and was talking to my boy Mike Phan. I was going to go straight home but he suggested that we go to Kitchen 24 to get some grub. I was cool with that so I picked him up. He told me that Winston's was jumping off tonight. I was was down to check it out and sure enough, it was was. DJ Spider was spinning, but it was preselected mix because it was to a video playing on the monitors made as if he were scratching the video. It was a cool presentation to say the least. There were a few celebs there such as LMFAO. I never really heard any of their music, but these cats were wylin' out. One thing that this place didn't have a lack was hipsters. Here's the thing, "I CAN NOT STAND HIPSTERS!" Why do you people have to wear your girlfriend's jeans and sang them so hard. The shit is no cool. That's it I'm doing a book and it's all going to be about hipsters. I have a few pics so it's on. I'll go on about my opinion about hipsters later.
Anyways the night was good. I ran into a few heads that I knew, my boy Matt(haha he lives around the corner from me), and Aaron from Eagle Rock. After the spot closed we headed to Kitchen 24 to get some food. I have noticed that there have been a lot of cops out and about lately. Last week they gave me a ticket for not having a front plate even though I had my reg tag in the front of the car(I'm not going to lie but my car is 7 months old hahahaha). Back to the Kitchen 24. It's a cool little spot and it was my first time there. The vibe is pretty chill and the service wasn't bad. I can see myself going there again after a club or just to get something to eat late at night.
Well I'm back at work and it's time for me to put in another long ass day... Talk you all later

I Made My Mind Up
The harness bar that's going into my GT-R is going to be "PURPLE." I'm going to start looking at different Patone swatches. What do you guys think?
Next Up
So on March 7th my car goes back to BBI Autosport for new mods.
first on the list are cold air intakes
Maxogen airflow systems are revolutionary kits that enable cold, dense air to reach the fuel metering unit more efficiently. These remarkable units can deliver as much as 9% more effective peak power at the wheels, and in some cases at 500rpm less revs in doing so.
Then the next item on the list is a harness bar and safety belts. I'm having a hard time choosing what color I want to paint it. If you all have any suggestions please let me know

These remarkable units can deliver as much as 9% more effective peak power at the wheels, and in some cases at 500rpm less revs in doing so. Over the next few pages you will see that itg are able to supply fully enclosed air intake systems for some of todays more popular cars. This range is increasing on a regular basis so please get in contact with us if an application that you are looking for is not mentioned.
itg fully road test all prototypes to prove their durability and performance, and each kit is tested on the rolling road to fully enhance it’s capabilities for that particular car. This means we are able to offer power and torque graphs for each kit we supply.
Most kits come with a carbon fibre housing but in some cases we use an E-glass AB65 (pre preg glass fibre) at a slightly lower cost. This option is currently only available on the AB65.
Each silicon hose is designed and made for each specific application. All aluminium parts are anodised and we supply stainless steel or plated screws, nuts and washers to fully enhance the appearance and durability of each kit.Then the next item on the list is a harness bar and safety belts. I'm having a hard time choosing what color I want to paint it. If you all have any suggestions please let me know

Maintain...
"I'm sitting at the edge of my bed and I'm fed
Up with negative thoughts running straight through my head
Life's ready and I can't make moves, it's hard
And I thought it would have been nice to buy papa dukes some shoes"
"Papa always told me...be all you can be
And maintain, gotta maintain"
A track that I've been listening to since high school when they first stepped onto the scene

I Can't Believe This...
New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate 
A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday.
A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday.
The drawing, from famed cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut.
"They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," reads the caption.
An email to Delonas and a call to the New York Post went unreturned. The cartoon appears both on the New York Post website and page 12 of the Wednesday paper.
At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what Delonas wanted.
UPDATE: Rev. Al Sharpton has weighed in on the cartoon in a statement:
"The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill."
"Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"

Fart vs. Fart
'Pull My Finger' subject of court fight
- Story Highlights
- Company files complaint over use of "pull my finger" for iPhone application
- Maker of "Pull My Finger" wants company making "iFart" to stop using phrase
- Company wants $50,000 to settle the dispute, may sue in federal court
- Other company says phrase is common, cannot be trademarked
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First came the iPhone. Then, there was the "iFart" flatulence noise download. Now, there's "Pull My Finger" -- and next could come the lawsuits.
A Florida-based company has accused a Colorado competitor in federal court of trademark infringement and unfair business practices over the phrase "Pull My Finger."
The dispute began after the makers of iFart began using phrase "pull my finger" in advertisements for their products.
Air-o-Matic, based in Jacksonville, Florida, and Colorado-based InfoMedia, Inc., both offer a range of competing software applications, or "apps," that subscribers can download into their multitasking cell phones. Users can make calls, listen to music, browse the Internet and play games on the devices.
Individual "apps" cost a dollar and up, and can be used to get directions, read restaurant reviews and make funny noises. Enter the flatulence sound app, which both companies offer to customers.
Air-o-Matic says its app, "Pull My Finger" has a unique brand identity that its competitor has infringed. It wants $50,000 from Infomedia to settle the dispute and may sue in federal court.
In a formal complaint filed in a Denver, Colorado, federal court, however, InfoMedia says the phrase is a common "descriptive" term used in its advertising and cannot be trademarked.
The company wants a judge to step in now, before any lawsuit is filed, and allow it to continue to use the phrase.
According to InfoMedia's legal filing, its iFart app "boasts a number of unique features including a built-in security system designed to aurally surprise and discourage iPhone theft. iFart also features a "Sneak Attack" function using a timer that emits the sound of flatulence when it goes off, the company says, and can also be used as a prank to an unsuspecting person.
Joel Conn, founder of Infomedia, said on his own blog that his app is a "cultural phenomenon."
The company claims there are about 75 different flatulence simulation software applications.
There was no word on when a judge might rule on the complaintsource: CNN

Thank You
I would like to thank everyone for wishing a happy birthday and to those that partied with during the week(Josh and Mai - Thank you so much you guys are good peeps, love ya). Vegas was fun and the dance machine got to come out and party. In all I'd say it was a god and safe 30th birthday. Thank you Darin for hanging out with me while I was in Vegas. Thank you Lloyd, Moon, Ed, Rolls, and Jeff Ocampo for chillin' with me in Vegas. You guys are always a blast to hang out with. The trip wouldn't have been as fun if Ed "Indian Giver" Sepulveda wasn't there. He is always the life of the party because we tease him. All jokes aside we tease him because we love him and he's good peoples. I got mad love for you. Lloyd, I'm so glad you came out for my birthday. It wouldn't have been as fun without you and you are boy til the end. Moon, my drinking partner and sidekick(it can switched around too), thank you for the good times. You're too damn funny when you get drunk. Rolls, You're my boy and I really wanted to see you dance this weekend, but it's ok. Next time we'll own the dance floor.
I'll post up pics from Moon's camera later this week. I have a feeling that this year is going to be a big change for me. I'm looking forward to a good life and it's all about being positive.

I will be posting video, pics, and a write up on Sunday when I return. There's also another party that I'll be attending that Sunday over at the W when I come back.

My loaner Car For My GT-R
I took my car in for it's service 12k service today i kinda turned it in a bit late(more like 13k). They gave me a rental car and I must say the rental car guys gave me the worst car ever considering that I drive a 80k car (WTF a Nissan Sentra). The out was clean with a few scratches here and there. The inside was a different story. It looked like trash, the seats were all dirty, the floor mats looked like it's been to Vegas and back and then back again. I'm afraid to take a blacklight to it hahaha I'm the type of person to complain, but DAMN really!?! I had to go to work and good thing it's only for the day. It's not Nissan's fault, it's the car rental people for giving me crappy ass car because they don't the value of cars.

I just got a call from my boy Jeff in New York and he told me that he's going to the Philippines from Feb.25-march25. I wish he never told me that, because I now have to go with him and go big hahahaha. So much for snowboarding this year. I'm going to figure out the dates and money and go for a week and half stay.

By the way, the last time I was out in the PI i won a dance contest. talk about good times. Let's see if I can go for a repeat.

What A Weekend!
Friday started off sad because I had to go to a my friend April Whang's funeral(R.I.P). I'm glad I got to know here and she made everyone smile. Every time I saw her she was full of joy and excitement. She will be missed.
Later that night Mike Phan and I hit up LAX for chilled there for a minute and we ran into Moon and Leonard, but they went back to Highlands. After the club, Mike and I headed over to Drop(afterhours) and had a really good time. I saw Mel, Art, Joe, and a few others.
Saturday was somewhat of a busy day. I went to work for a bit and around 5pm, I met up with my boy Darin and Natasha from Vegas, and a few other people over at the Peterson Automotive Museum. We had dinner at Koji in Hollywood and Highlands Plaza. After dinner I headed off to downtown for Eiman's 30th birthday party. The party was at 800 Wilshire at a place called Congo Room. I had some fun there and I saw a lot of old friends that I haven't seen in a minute. It was great to catch up. I was there for awhile and then I had to go to my friend Jade's 29th birthday party over at Jimmy's Lounge. Man talk about having fun. That was one of the best night so far for me in 2009. I almost died of laughter hahahaha. We saw this one guy totally eat shit. He was on his way to the dance floor with a drink in hand and I guess he's foot caught the last step and he then preceded to slide across the floor, but saving the $11 drink hahhaha. He hit the ground pretty hard and we just started laughing our asses off.
Then that night we were teasing Ed(I love Ed he's too damn funny), because the way he was wearing he's beanie made his hair look like he was rocking a Cesar hair cut. Ed got annoyed and walked away and that's when we saw "FUTURE ED" hahahaha. This looked just like Ed, but chunky. We even managed to take a picture of "FUTURE ED". I love how we are sneaky with the pics
So later on I ended up battling some girl on the dance floor.
Present Ed
Future Ed
From back to front: Ed, moon, and myself
Brandon, myslef, and Moon
She was good, but not that good. I had to school her with a few moves. Our boy Uncle L(Leonard) then got "BUSY with some chocolate girls. Yo, she was grinding all over him, the shit was comedy. Next Uncle L was this cat that we met at random and he started to freak one the blacks girls. Let me tell you, it didn't turn out pretty at all. He ended up being "RAPED" on the dance floor. She turned him around, put him on the floor on all fours and started to just bang him from behind doggy style while putting a Volcan death grip on his neck. I was laughing all the way to bed that night.
Uncle L loves the chocolate
Man rape
Sunday I woke up around 5:45 and got ready to go for a car meet and a drive in the Malibu Canyon's with my friends Darin and Tasha from Veags, Dilan, Jason, Aimee, Mikey, Verone, and a few other cats from L4P. The drive was good and we eat at a spot called Paradise Cove in Malibu. After eating we all got to goof off and take pics. After a full day of diving I headed to Moon's crib and chilled for the the evening and bounced back home. I had plans of going to the Mos def concert, but I was too tired from going out during the week.
Verone and I acting like fools hahahaha
This is our take on Milli Vanilli
I'm always dancing...

Losing A Friend...
I found out that one of my friend's died in a car accident over the weekend by an under aged drunk driver. My friend April was at a stop light around 1am and then a car going over 100mph slammed into her separating my friend's neck from the whiplash and then slamming her head into the windshield. Her car was then flown into a gas station sign. The Girl that hit her was fine because her airbags deployed. This was the girl second under aged DUI. She made bail at $100k.
My friend's funeral is this week.
here's an article about it
The crash is under investigation.

LA HABRA – A Fullerton woman died Sunday morning when her car was struck by another vehicle that apparently ran a red light, according to authorities.
La Habra police and the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to the crash scene shortly after 1:30 a.m. after receiving a report of a traffic accident and possible vehicle fire.
April Junhee Whang, 26, was driving south on Beach Boulevard in a 2004 black Acura Integra before turning left onto eastbound Imperial Highway, police said, citing eyewitness accounts. A 2003 black Mazda 6, traveling east on Imperial Highway at high speed, struck the Integra after failing to stop at a red light, according to police reports. Whang was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash is still under investigation. Initial reports of a vehicle fire were false.
The driver of the Mazda, Brittany Deanne Schuetz, 20, of Irvine, was taken to UCI Medical Center for treatment. She is being held on suspicion of felony DUI and vehicular manslaughter, according to police.

Swag VS. Swagger
Only if people can get it right. It really annoys the hell outta me that people don't know the difference nor meaning of certain words and the fact that it's being thrown around like a $2 dollar whore. It's like guys wearing pink. I can't stand it(that's another story that I'll get into later)

| 2. | swag | |
| Promotional merchandise for a band, record label, or other entity in the music business, usually distributed at concerts. May include t-shirts, stickers, promo CDs, posters, etc. Often free, but not necessarily; a t-shirt or record purchased at a concert might still be considered swag, especially if it is a design or release that is not readily available in the mass market. Many independent record labels throw in a handful of free swag when they ship out mail-order packages (stickers, sampler CDs, etc). The chief difference between swag and regular merchandise is that its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the band/label, and reward its supporters by giving them something cool and unique. I picked up some great swag at the concert last night. | ||

"T4" Producer -- Bale's Tantrum Was No Biggie
It turns out Christian Bale's expletive-filled, volcanic explosion on the set of "Terminator Salvation" was a "non-event"... according to a guy who wasn't the brunt of Bale's tirade.
Bruce Franklin -- assistant director and associate producer on the film -- told us "Christian is a method actor and was completely immersed in his scene ... his reaction was from the heat of the moment."
The target of Bale's attack -- a director of photography named Shane Hurlbut -- was not fired from the movie, despite Christian's threat that if Shane screwed up one more time, he should be kicked to the curb.
Franklin said Bale was under a lot of pressure because of his crazy "Dark Knight" promotion schedule, and that the crew -- Hurlbut included -- ended up shooting for another seven hours.

Weekend wrap up
Last week was a busy week with work and going out every single night. I was out and about til 3am every night. Monday was chill I hung out with my boy Josh and I ran into Reza MrMota. Tuesday I hung out with Josh again and his girl. We attempted to go to MyHouse formerly known as Garden of Eden. That really didn't work out because there was a mad line and chaos. Wednesday was cool. I ran into an old girlfriend Lamaya Good and her sister Megan Good. After that I chilled with Ron from Tanabe USA and his peeps. Thursday was just a crazy ass night with my boy Donnie and a few co-workers. Friday was chill. I went to Bordello Bar off 1st in downtown for my friend's birthday. After that I bounced to J Lounge and I met up with Ed, Rolls, Leonard, Darwin, Brandon, and a few other cats. I ended that night off a bacon wrapped hot dog. That shit was so good. Saturday was a busy day. I had paintball in the morning at SC Village in Chino (which is too damn far). I ended getting shot in the toe, shin, and the neck all at the same time in session. My neck looks like a monkeybite or like a bruise because I fell off a bike(there's a back story to that hahaha thanx G). I would to thank the asshole for doing that. After wrapping up paintball, I headed over to my boy Moon's house and chilled for a minute. We went out for dinner and had some shabu shabu. Later that night I went to Donnie loft in Downtown and did a little pre drinking and we all hopped into a shuttle to Blue Velvet. Sunday was all work no play. I wonder what next week brings? All I know is that there better be some MF'n snow involved for the weekend.
By the way I'm turning 30 in 11 days. The plans are to go to Vegas and go big or go home. We'll see how it works out. My tuner Betim from BBI Autosports told me that SEMA has nothing on what we're going to do that weekend. I should starting throwing up now hahahaha... god.
