Know The Best.

That's the only way you'll get there.

Lazy.

Urbanizing.

What do you guys know about "urbanizing"? Seriously, this has to be the dumbest thing, but I'll play along. I'll redo the design to fit the whole "Come-to-Cal-because-we're-urban-theme". You guys just don't get it. Just because it's "urban" doesn't make it "cool". You guys have it more twisted than a pretzel. Get your acts together; see the bigger picture and ask yourselves this:

Why am I really doing this?

Misc. projects:
-Redesigning the SW shirts. (Try and have one done by Saturday for proper processing).

Studio Is Where I Would Reside.

Sorry for the lack of updates folks, but it is Spring Break and I am down here in Ros Angeres.

Customs completed:
-Purps.
-Liberation x King Jester.

Customs pending:
-Little Foot.
-1 of 10.
-Fresh. (This HAS to be IT).

Misc. work pending:
-Stencil work for Belinsky.
-Art work.
-Interior design work for room/studio. (Studio in house, hm?)
-Potty training Cacao.

Cacao is the new dog. Dog as in small, cute dog. Dog as in chihuahua x poodle, so it won't grow past 2 millimeters. Speaking of dogs, I would like to dedicate this post to our old dog, a good friend of mine, Ninja, who, after about a year with us, has been handed over to the Feds. The neighbors ratted him out. Haters. Ninja, I'll pour out some liquor for you old friend. We'll see each other again like Deja Vu in the Matrix.

Seriously though, we miss you.

Studio.
I'll get/make/design one some day.

Wow.

It's been a while. Sorry, I've been super busy with projects, and with deadlines tighter than Garth Brooks' whities, I can't help it. HOWEVER, I'm in production class right now for {m}aganda magazine (plug) and I seem to be the only one with their layouts done.

Wow.

Anyhow, after an extended and unexpected visit, the sun went back into hiding and left us cold and cussing. Well, not cussing, it's still lent.

2 weeks left 'til I gain my gut again! Wamp wamp...

Would you rather do Joey FAT-ONE or Chris "What the hell is wrong with your hair, and why do you have three first names for a name" Kirk-patrick?

Ok. I'll be back later. In the meantime, enjoy this oldschool goodie:


How about some laughter? Speaking of which, the roommates and I (roommates as in E and S) had this big discussion about what LOL meant.
E: It means "Lots of Laughs"
S: I thought the L's were hands up and the O was the person's mouth open because he's laughing.
Me: LOL.

*Also for some inspiration for 80's shindigimaggiza.

The Realest of Talk


This guy is so real, it's borderline faking.
He's saying what I've been observing about the fashion industry lately.
He looks like he was one of the 300.

I Didn't Even Have to Use My AK.

What a fantastic day.
Sun's been out and about.
No need for heavy jackets and sweat-ers.
Legs' getting stronger.
And design, oh MAN, DESIGN.

Good news of the day: THEY PICKED MY DESIGN!!
Joyful indeed. They're going to make minor adjustments, but my design is going to be on the backs of 500 students during this year's Senior Weekend! Oh, excited I am.

More good news: I got to design the this year's PASS hoodies and for this one I'm doing something new, something risky, something different. Let's see what the reaction is. But if I'm right, everyone will want one. They already like the colorway I presented (Mint Green on Charcoal Grey) so we'll see.

Even MORE good news: I might get published in a literary arts magazine called {m}aganda. It's a yearly publication created in Berkeley and is one of the most respected independent literary arts magazine in the US. I'm crossing my fingers hoping to get picked.

Food wise: FAT SLICE veggie pizza OWNS BLONDIE'S veggie pizza. It is 1 am in the morning and I just finished eating two very satisfying slices. Some call it "fat", I call it "longlasting nutrients." But seriously, Blondie's veggie pizza tastes like there's only one type of vegetable on it: TOMATO slices. Isn't there tomato already on the pizza? Hmmmm....

One of the things I'm trying to do too this semester is eat somewhere different each time I do decide to go out to eat. Notes so far:
1. Food wise above.
2. Roma's Cafe has the best Egg Salad sandwich I've ever tasted. Salad's not bad either.
3. Hot Fries are a good source of heat.
4. Bear's Lair has the best cheese fries.
5. Honey Mustard with #4 is a favorite. Call me a hypocrite but man, that honey mustard...
6. Listing too much, more to come later.

300 is a great movie.
300 is a great movie.
300 is a great movie.

Tomorrow is work hard day. Got to finish these art pieces before Thursday. Have to. Pictures up after event, hopefully?

I miss my girlfriend.
Lakers suck, at the moment.
Blues Wirris is making my six pack right now. Hilarity.

Clones.

Welcome to a new segment of the show called "Blood Brother", a spin-off of our popular game, "Your Best Friend, Not it!" This is basically the same idea, but instead of just being best friends, the two subjects have to look alike. I'll pick someone that reminds me of someone, and you, the contestant, have to try and guess who it looks like. For example, I was watching the UCLA-Cal Basketball game last week and happened to notice that our star rookie, Ryan Anderson, (Scroll to Upset City Again post and he's the guy in the middle), looks like someone. If you guessed the answer to be Britney Spears, you'd be right! Get the idea?

Here's the first one:
-I was watching Home Improvement last week and happened to notice that Al, Tim's co-star on tool-time looks like the Blood Brother of someone we know. You know him too. Can you guess who Al's BLOOD BROTHER is?

Architecture + Good Idea + Good Execution =



The number 1 store in the World. Bodega in Boston, Mass. is ridiculous. Try and figure out why.


Clue: look at the soda machine.

Hybrid, Not the Prius.

Imagine that you are a sick-minded Sneaker Head and all you think about are shoes. You think about them so much that you start wondering if shoes are alive. Pretty soon you're thinking, nay, FANTASIZING, about shoes making love to each other. Well, I bet these Nike Heads are sick.


...plus

...equals


I like them though.

However...





Closer Look At A Previous Post.

Now that I look at it, they're not that special. Maybe I got too hyped. OH NO! I'm turning into this guy...


Psyche. Never happen.





Eh. Nothing really special.

For the Kids.


Inspired by the digust of hearing the potential Senior Weekend theme might be: "Bringing Color Back."

EcoTransportSexy.

I'm in the market for a used, customizable fixed gear bike. 44cm tall, I believe. And after looking at this machine, makes the urge that much more stronger. I mean just look at it, so clean.

Maybe You Should Do A Little More Research.



From the top down. I've already cover the head wear. Now on to the shoulders. Here's what I'm thinking.




I know what you're thinking:

"Are you serious?"


Of course. Nothing says 80's like a dislocated shoulder for the sake of loud music. Since we're on the topic of heavy shoulder wear, I also want to wear one of these, not just for the party, but for life.


"I wanna live good, so shit I sell dopeFor a fo' finger ring, one of them gold ropes.."

That pretty much takes care of the upper part right?

For now.

Almost Positive That Reeboks...

...are the new SB's. You want more evidence? Here's a very colorful one.

YUM.

Saturday, March 3, 2007

Pick Up, Like the Stix.

In honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Beer and Ireland, Nike released these quickstrike Air Max 90. I love the colorway, but not a big fan of the clover design. But the color won out, so my wallet lost. My first bought Air Max's. Will I wear it? I don't know, but it's making me envious.




Also, while I was picking up the shoes, I happened to notice Jerry, owner of 510 Skate shop and the sister shop Bows and Arrows right across the street, rocking the new 510 shirt. So I ask him, he sent me over to 510 and BOOYA! The logo needs some Aspirin, IT'S SICK.


Crazy ain't it? It was designed by the one and only Benny Gold of HufSF. If you don't know about him, here's a small introduction. This dood is responsible for whole Huf Mania that went on last year (and this year as well). Remember Huf Mania? The earthquake shoes, the New Eras, the shirts, the hoodies, etc, BANANAS. Genius this guy is. He's on list of inspirations. That makes him and Hiroshi Fujiwara. Anyhow, the shirt is simple, with the logo in the front. But the color of mine is this color. It's funny I mention Color because ironically, I've been on the Benny Gold hustle as well. The publicity coordinator of PASS and I have been teamed up to propose a new theme to this year's upcoming Senior Weekend. Why? Because the RRCs came together and the best they can come up with is "Bringing Color Back." The song automatically played in my head. I don't want that, and I'm pretty sure the seniors coming up don't want that either. Talk about pressure though, this design is going to be on the shirts of almost 500 students.

Pressure makes diamonds.

Whawhawhat?


F-A-N-N-Y.

Way Back, When I Had Red and Black Lumberjack..

..with the hat to match. So one of the things I'm really excited about this upcoming few months is the time portal the crew is about to cross. After simultaneously (and cutely) watching My Super Sweet Sixteen on Feb 26, 2007, the girlfriend calls me, asking me if I tuned in, and YES, I happened to stumble upon that channel. I wasn't even looking for that, I just happened to be in front of the TV (I was really just waiting for the season finale of the greatest show last season, Egotrip's The (White) Rapper Show. (And yes, Shamrock defeats the self-proclaimed King of the Burbs)(And yes, I'm using alot of parantheses).

"If you see a lame that's shame to the game, point 'em out..."

Anyhowdiddy, I got sidetracked there. So as I was saying, the girlfriend is on the line, ecstatic I might add, about the show. I admit, it was the best one so far, I was actually jealous. This chick had an 80's themed party, and it was thrown together TIGHT, like a Boy Scout's knot. After the girlfriend listed all the things she wanted:

1. Art-Force-Ones.
2. White Land Rover.
3. For me to get 1 and 2 for her.

We decide that it'll be fun to throw our own 80's theme party during Spring Break. And why not? Ever since then I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've thought about it so much, I started doing research. I want this to be LEGIT, so LEGIT it can't quit. So far I have this:



Take notes.



















And so I did. I started brainstorming about everything 80's. And more research followed. I have a look that I want to achieve in my head and it's just bits and pieces now, hopefully it'll come together in the following weeks.




Head:















We'll start with that. Let's go from the top down. I can't wait...

Is It Graying Already?

Sitting on the 51 going North today, a random thought popped into my head:

"Hey man, you know when you'll know you're old?"


"How man?"

"When you get on the bus and someone offers you their seat."

"That sucks."

On The List? Check.


One of the places to go. Don't forget.

You Want More?

You Want?

Reebocilous.

Reebok is on the come up. When you ask Reebok what they're doing today, they respond:
"I'm on the come up." And then they bring their posse. They roll deep.

Ring Leader.



















Then the Negraneu, the Ivey, the Hellmuth, the Chan, the Brunson, and then the Unibomber.








I believe Gerald Green from the Boston Celtics wore the Kings version during the jump-over-Nate-Robinson-while-doing-the-Dee-Brown-but-should-have-saved-them-for-the-final-round-because-jumping-over-a-table-is-impressive dunk.

Reminder: Sign up for Michael Cooper School of Shooting.

My Inspiration.

My inspiration, ironically, was a poem that I wanted my girlfriend to hear/see/experience, but her newly bought HP laptop won't let her. Hopefully this will help.

Introducing the greatest love poem I've heard so far.


Enjoy and Love.

Welcome to What I Think About.

I'm going to use this as a second Hippocampus. There are so many things going on at once so why not invest in another memory bank?
