U2 was wrong..within time i found what i was looking for..

Oh wsup....

Can i git yo myspace?

Cmon..at least a facebook..?

Naw?

Aite fuq u den...


Holler...

To those who care or who have read a blog i posted a way's back, I finally found a polaroid camera that has been my main reason for waking up early to go to sketchy thrift stores all over the valley.

It was a shitty day at work..as usual. This day was different in the fact that I have been sick for the past few days. So a headache, throat ache, and life ache didnt mesh well with stupid people for 8 hrs....but i digressed. I got home around 7:30 pm. Eyes slowly shutting looking for that darkness they crave, but i wouldnt give in. My lazy ass needs to get out and do shit in my life...for who knows how long i will be here
Over the past few months my boredom cure has been going to a few select thrift stores bordering the town i live in. I found a new spot ( wich will remain un-named) and usually find some good cameras..and old sports shirts. There is another called sun-thrift that is truly hit or miss..which most of them are. The one place that sucked the most just so happened to have the camera i've had my eyes set on.
My heart was stuck on a Polaroid SX-70 and i didnt want to stop til i found it.
It was that night of sleepyness, sickness and over it-ness that i found it.
Shot over to goodwill and saw a leather bag. Asked the Bro behind the counter what it was and he replied " its like a really old camera" , i was stoked..thinking it might be something vintage or maybe an old AE-1 of sorts. But when i opened the dusty brown leather bag my eyes widened and the little kid inside of me awakened. There it was...exactly what i was looking for!:

I had to keep my composure. Acted like it was just some old thing..no biggy, cause nothing is final until my card has swiped and the reciept is in hand. I payed the gentleman and rushed to my car to further investigate the camera..
Flawless..... It even came with a flash....Holly balls i was high. My outlook on the day went from woof to ecstatic in a matter of moments.
It cost only $8.00... HYPED!
So hyped i went and got a gay outfit to go with it:


Booyah.

Every story has meaning. I set my mind on something and never stopped until my goal was achieved. I could have very well gone out and bought one of these on ebay for a crispy $200.00, but i didnt.
"it's not the destination..it's the journey". Not finding the camera gave me purpose...i made sure i did my rounds, got out of the house and looked for what I thot i'd never find, but enjoyed searching. Even found some awsome stuff along the way..

Relate this to anything...( you already know)
If you want something bad enough the only way to get it is to go for it, and not give up on the search....whatever it may be

Aight fuck you john denver..i'm out!

braaaappp!

Holler players.

Yo fools...its hot outside which means 2 things are about to happen..
#1 I will prolly go snowboarding sometime soon. I really hope to get as loose as possible and post some of that explicit shred content that everyone is garg-a-ling for.

#2: It's riding season. NO! i wasnt talking about snowboard's, Skis, or those ugly ass sketcher butt toning shoes equiped with heeleys....

IM talkin bout motorcycles....and i hopped on the wagon just like everyone else did.. Bought a harley...a 3/4 helmet and kissed my future goodbye. The way i figure ill be dead in just a few short years if 2012 doesnt get me..

Aight so this past sunday my dad:

His friend joe and I decided to take a put out to Ventura.
WE hopped on the 210 and Joe thot it was a legit idea to start the ride of with a mellow 85mph speed up. Now i know 85 isnt much..esp when those fags on crotch rockets go that fast in 2nd gear...but it was sketch...Ive got a thin ass front tire and no windshield ( they're gay)...so i was bein pulled off my bike. My hoodrat dad eventually caught up and said to keep it mellow.. So mellow it was.
We then hopped on the 126 wich is super legit. All you folk who've got girlfriends...take em on this road..its pretty..its mellow, and there is no reception so they can't turn on horrid country music...( belly button?)
Oh wait i got lost...aight so anyways Joe's bike wasn't up to the torture he had bestowed upon it..so he had to pull out half way ( thats what she said) :



Peace out joe!...and we hit the road........jack......

Aite so we exited california st off the 101 and went to main. The place is sweet..a few thrift stores tons of hip ass cafe's and a grip of stupid rich urban motorcycle enthusiests jamming around with their flame helmets and leather chaps
aka...KOOKS!

WE paid homage to the Ventura HA club-house and then zooma zoom zoom'd over to andria's for some grindage.


The place is sick..long line to get in..but right on the water. I grabbed a seat outside in a packed deck..that unfortunatley sat under a shit-bird tree. My dad actually got bombed 2 maybe 3 times..I felt bad.


After snapping some bird shots my dad slammed this on the table:

you guessed right...Thats a whole tray dedicated to sauces... Woof my dads on a whole new level of LOCO
( i def used a good amount of em)

Now i bet you're wondering what i got at this known for its fish and chips type place...

here it is...


chicken fingers? ...yea i dont even know what to say...ima idiot.. But my dad threw back some halibut fish-n-chips that looked flashy..

ART:

bahhh..i felt like such a shoobie using that dam color grab funtion on my digi-cam. Woof , i only hate cause i see so many of those pictures where only certain colors are show-cased and i know the people taking em think 1 thing and 1 thing only, " damn...im a really good photographer".. when the truth is...you're a reeet reeet..dont quit ur day job people...

woah..that was a lil negative rant..oh well

Aight so we gear'd back up and headed back up the 126...Stopped at a fruit stand and sputterd back to L.A..

truely was a real good time...something I will do again in the near near future...

p.s. my seat is super uncomfortable so i was wiped out:


but still made it by Joe's to talk shit and let him know hes a goomba for thinking he could take his bike on a lengthy ride after letting it sautee in his garage for 3 month's


woof..

heres a video..its not cool so u shouldnt waste ur time by watching it....CIAO!:

hey momma this surly is a drrrreeeeaaaam

Wow feb 8th since the last time i had anything to talk about. That really isn't the trooph... but it is easy to say that on a scale from 1-10 for motivation in life...mine currently is at a 3. Thats not to say that i haven't been doing anything tho.. so here it goes

FEw weeks ago i rode along with Kyle to pick up B-Kauf and danny at LAX when they were arriving from some nascar ass shit in daytona floriwhocares. here is proof:


OK that's all folks..thanks for tuning in!





Im jus fuqin wit cha:

Aite so any woot..through work we won a contest with the prise of sitting at a suite at the Lakers vs Celtics game on feb 18th. the last game i went to was Lakers vs the Supersonics who have since relocated and become some gay team no one pays attention too.
That one kid d-ray that i always talk about on here got me into watching a ton of lake show shii...so i was highly amped. Not only did i become a fan of laker basketball...but also i became an all out hater of the Boston Celtics. They way they act..the way they play...90% of the team the coaches can all lick my balls after i take a Hike through Mojave Desert. D ray will talk shit for me liking a player but if i had to choose one..im OK with Ray Allen..only cause hes relatively quiet and just handles his shit.
Anyways the game was fun..free drinks..cool people.. and laker ball. Kobe didn't play which i didn't think would be much of a problem...but i guess it was cause we lost by 1 point.


beginning of the lake show:



Bow chica chica yeaa. Game was cool but it was also nice to hang with folks from work..throw back some man sodas and scream at opposing fans.

oh wsup nana:

the suite was catered with lamb chops of all things..i too opted for chips beer and salad...a wise choice..Justa workin on ma fitness...

huh?

This is mike..but i wont show his whole face cause hes sort of like the International Man of mystery (no homo)...hes die hard lakers fan..Thas WSUPPP


I finally got my lil point and shoot to do infinite zoom...and i was able to catch some ill ass action shots:



as i look at these shots I think to myself " i bet even when pros take shots in games they secretly are saying "kobe!" in their minds"........the cool thing ...is that i know i'm right.

Aite whatevs...we lost...fuck it

Ok so that following saturday monnez and I drove up to San Fran...but started the day off right with some marij-ack in the box:

mann i am clever.

Alex drove and i sat shotgun...which is weird because i have always driven drove..drivvelled? to nor-cal.
I'll admit...we were coming down the grapevine and hit a freak downpour. Monnezz decided that its kool to go 80mph and kiss our asses goodbye. It was sketchy and i def had my hand on the " O-Shit" handle, but Maverick didnt givashit:


After a few pit stops and some good tunes we finally arrived at my home away from home..645..
As usual there is never a dull moment and this excitement came from sidewalk graph:


Thats sarah..shes pretty neat..but mildly sarcastic...and super into the brothas...i dont blame her..YUM!
After some hugs and remenising we decided to jam on over to get some Burritos at nikkis work. I used to be super into taking food fotos...but i truely blew it on doing so thise trip..Sorry world.
I will recover tho. For after fooding we rumbled over to the Golden Gate Bridge to soak in some views and snap some fotos:



Anyways after jumping off the bridge we jammed over to the market in our super sweet red jeep cherokee:


After all that malarky we went back to the casa to get ready to thrash..
awkwards:


Monnez:


OMG ash-matz even graced us with her presence. I havenbt seen her the past 3 times i've been up there so it was definetly a treat:

No shit...monnezz was creepin that night



I actually ended up taking a cab home by myself cause im a weirdo and don't really like bars.. Anyways
The next day it was raining.. So Van, Monnez, Berg, and I wandered over to the museum on our segways:


Saw some cool ol-shiiii:





Damn what a look in the past. As sarah and i were walking thru the museum there was this Girl sprawled out infront of some artifacts and was having her BF take a picture of her..SCANDALOUS

OK so after that we jammed backed to 645. and the girl from "the hills have eyes" was there...lookin mighty fly:

We decided to keep it low key this night...so we just threw back some pabst and played some games...HoooRAH:




The next morning was our last one there. Of course we jammed out to Squat and Gobble on Haight and ate some yum yums but i have fallen off the taking pictures of what i eat train..a train that i need to get back on. So heres boring ass van an monnez:



Aight sorry..i know ive left a lot out..or maybe im just not as detailed as i used to be. Ok well i also took some pack-film cameras so here are those fotos:















Ahhh well thats all folks..check back next year for I may just get my shit together and post more often... Stay safe! Don't Take DRUGS!
