April month in Review

Wow, motherfucking wow.

I didn't expect these last two weeks to be filled with all those surprises, as well as a shitload of free swag.

It already the last day of April as I type this. Right now I'm wrestling between KPFK and KCRW on my Sony Micro Stereo system, which I recommend everyone should get before they discontinue it for some smaller piece of shit, which I'll still buy cause its a Sony. I think the only Sony product I'll start to stay away from is the Cybershot, a product that I've been messing with for the past three years. It was the first sets of digital cameras that I've ever purchased. The only thing is that Sony as a company, doesn't seem to fit the still photography market. I think they should stick to their Video production market as they always have been doing. Probably my next camera might be a Panasonic from their Lumix line. I've shot with Lumix cameras before, and they are so underrated. Connect the camera to an HDTV using regular supplied composite video cables or an optional HDMI cable regardless of the pixel size, the image will be hella sharp.

So two Fridays ago, I got a call from this security company that I applied at like God knows when, around November of last year or some shit. They said that if I can be able to cover a security gig at Palm Springs for the weekend. After that, I just busted out the door, along with some stuff I packed and went to their offices in Wilshire and Normandie. When I got there, there were already a bunch of other older African Americans in the office, and more started to come, including this one young Hispanic couple whos around my age. Yes, the girl is a security guard.
Then one of the supervisiors came and started talking to us saying that we're gonna spend the whole weekend in Palm Springs doing security work and that there's gonna be a hotel provided for us there. Plus we're gonna have to carpool with some people. Then later, he pulled out a stack of Twentys and started giving it to those who were doing the driving to fill up their cars with fuel cause the ride was fucking long, about 2 hours plus in weekend traffic on the 10 freeway.

I rode with these two old dudes and the supervisor's nephew in a '97 Toyota Camry with manual Transmission. You don't see to many of those nowadays. On the way, the Supervisor's nephew told us that were going to work at a concert Jay-Z is doing at Indio and then all of the sudden, my mind started to pop.

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS GONNA DO SECURITY AT THE COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL!

Nobody in the car knew what I was talking about, or has even heard of Coachella before. At first I thought I was gonna be doing security at some club in Palm Springs or doing something at the Morongo, which we drove past by, but then when we got there to the venue, which was fucking larger than life, it was indeed Coachella.

So after we parked, we got sent to this big ass tent, something that the Marines use oversees, and it was literally a big tent. Inside were dozens of cots that had people dead asleep resting in it. I thought to myself "We're not gonna sleep in here, are we?" We then check in to start filling out our time sheets, grab our yellow CSC jackets, the same jackets you'll see at concerts , and then they dropped us off at some street outside the compound of the Coachella venue. I thought we were gonna be at the stage, but instead we had to motherfuckin' direct traffic from 11pm to 9AM. That shit was terrible. The last time I worked that long was when I did security overnight at a Walgreens being constructed in Simi Valley back in December. So during my shift Directing Traffic, I had to deal with so many drunk twenty somethings looking for where they parked their cars and which campsites they posted at and shit. Plus we have to close out some roads every 90 minutes and people started making u-turns like crazy, and with that, I've gave them wrong directions and information whenever they have a question about where to exit or where to park.

*EDITOR'S NOTE*: At this point of typing this story, I was already starting to pass out and I went to bed, so right now it's Saturday Morning as I type this

Keep in mind I didn't sleep at all throughout the shift, or the whole weekend for that matter. I was awake for 53 straight hours. How you ask? Well, the supervisors fed us like Hansel and Gretel. I ate so much food that it made school lunch foods look like first class airline meals. After our shift we were told that there is gonna be no hotel for us to stay at and everyone of my co-workers for really frustrated. That moment felt like we were in some damn reality show. I managed to sleep in the Camry that we rode in, despite the 90 plus degree weather. Everyone else chilled in the grass under the palm trees.

A few hours later, I got woken up by one of my co workers who tell me to come with him to check out the Coachella event since we don't have to work till 11PM that night. I'm surprised that the rest of my co-workers didn't take advantage of this because as we soon went inside, the event itself was FUCKING AWESOME! It was like the 21 century version of Woodstock. Random concerts playing in different stages simultaneously, people charging $12 for bottles of water (we're in a desert so water is a valuable commodity), a ton of white girls walking around in their tops off, and among other things I can't describe. One of the things that got my by shock was when I went inside this one dope ass booth that operated by a mobile device company called KIN, and inside was like some after school hangout from the 1980's, as if I got inside the Hot Tub Time Machine like the movie. They had 2 arcade games, a skeeball machine, an air hockey table, a wall where you can write random shit using a chalk, a place where you can get a custom made t-shirt and, I shit you not, a lounge where you can go on Facebook. Yes, they had a spot where there are laptops and notebooks provided to go on the internet unlimited, as long as you want. I planned mot to go on the internet until I got back to the Valley on Monday, but I broke that promise. They also have a spot where you can send text messages and charge your mobile device (I'm gonna try to refrain using the word cell phone in this story) with the chargers they provided, so if you didn't have a Blackberry or an iPhone, you had to bring your own chargers or you're shit out of luck.

So we spent about 2 to 3 hours there and went back to the security compound and started to get ready for our evening shift, which is better than the last one because in this one, they dropped my off in front of some person's house and I got a chair and a two way radio, which is tight. The people who lived in the house talked to me and took care of me that night. They were about to give me some free beer, but I preferred soda, which they gave me a six pack of Diet Coke and some Carne Asada, which was fucking good. One of the dude's wife started hitting on me and he didn't give a shit, cause he told me that she does that all the time.

And like I said, it was a fucking hell of an awesome experience, and I got paid for it! $214 dollars to be exact, but its still money to me. A lot of my friends we trying to go to this event and have been talking and bitching about it for the past month. I felt very fortunate to be able to attend this scared event. Now I've been to a lot events for free in the past, but this one tops it off. Its definitely worth the $300 dollars. The only thing that upsets me is that I didn't get a chance to see Wale perform, which was on Friday afternoon before I got there, and I just found out this month that he's Nigerian, along with Slash's mother from Guns and Roses which REALLY tripped me out. The only "famous people that I saw" were this group called MGMT, who almost won a Grammy for Best new artist this month. This one chick went hella crazy for them, hell she even cried when I talked to her. I wanted to get a shot of her, but my power from the Cybershot went out, which is one of the other reason's why I want to get rid of that camera.

Then the rest of the week consisted of making numerous trips to LA Live, and I swear, they always have something going down there aside from Laker games. Every time I go there, I alway leave with something on my hand, being free tickets, gift cards ESPN Zone stuff and some other cool shit. I went to the Chick Hearn statue unveiling event that took place on April 20th out of all the days of the month. It was a great event, even though I met all the Laker legends and former players before, except Byron Scott and Chick Hearn's wife who looked nice. I was surprised that Magic Johnson didn't even show up. I took about like 25 photos of Jeanie Buss and even one shot with her holding the championship ring. Awesomeness.

I think I'll stop here. This is pretty much a recap of being at Coachella despite that I did a bunch of other stuff during the month of April. Shoutout to all those who have Birthdays, final exams, graduating from college or high school, giving birth, betting on the Stanley Cup and NBA payoffs... I mean playoffs, and/or going to get laid in prom among other things this month. Another shoutout to AEG, the security crew at the Coachella event in Indio, and the Kanouses for meeting up with them for the first time at Westwood last week. Enjoy the Angels ticket I gave y'all.

Oh yeah, Taylor Swift should NOT be a spokesperson for Sony Cybershot. Another good reason to sell my camera.

A weekend of unfortunate events

It's Tuesday, 11:20PM as I type now. Let see if I can finished this by Wednesday.

Usual typical obvious weekend. But some decent stuff happened.

On Friday afternoon, I sold my stethoscope/blood pressure kit that I got from back when I was in med school taking the Medical Assisting program three and a half years ago. I haven't used it since then and its been sitting in my closet for a long time, and plus I need money. I got a call from this lady with an Asian accent saying that she interested in the kit. So they came later, only to find that her husband who has a thick ass French accent, picked up the kit and gave me $20 for it. I had it originally priced at $25, but everyone is cheap nowadays so a took off 5 dollars to get some attraction.

Then on Saturday, I had the option of going to my church in Sylmar or going to the Alumni weekend event at San Fernando Valley Adventist Academy, the private Christian school my sisters and I went to back when I was in 9th grade. But I woke up late as usual, and headed to Target to make use of the compensation I got the previous day. I wanted to go on a $10 budget and put the other half on my savings. When I got to Target, I had a to between a bag of Nachos since we have a big ass container of Salsa at home, or some shredded Cheddar Cheese that I use for my Spaghetti. I don't wanna get both because I still planned on using that half of the Twenty to get something to eat at Jack in the Box across the street. So I just got the Cheddar Cheese instead which was about three dollars I think. Probably one of the lamest purchases I ever got at Target. I could've bought a CD on sale or some auto detailing accessories, but my vehicle is still on my parents hands. I know, totally lame but what the hell else can I say? Times are tough, and not just financially. Then I went to Jack in the Box, which was dead empty on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the Jumbo Jack meal with the two tacos. I was trying to enjoy my lunch and read the newspaper at the same time, but out of nowhere, two 16 year old teenage females sat behind me and starting saying and discussing the usual gossip basura, which is Spanish for "trash", that I don't wanna hear. Out of all the seats in the empty ass restaurant, they had to sit behind me. They're not attractive, and if they were, I'd be in interrogated by Chris Hansen from Dateline. They look like teenagers who should be revolutionized by Jamie Oliver, the British chef who changed the entire school lunch system in his country and is trying to do the same here in the states.

I just wanna get off topic here for a second, or a minute. I'm sure his family laughs at us everyday, and I'm not offended by it cause it's fucking true. Eating habits here in America is completely insane, beyond belief insane. Most of it is here in Los Angeles and at certain parts of the US that I won't mention which are highly disadvantaged and has a very low status. Yes, I admit, I also eat junk food, a lot of it. I'm used to it, meaning I can't resist a Double Double meal at In-N-Out or a supreme pizza from Pizza Hut or Little Ceasers. I'm aware of what I consume. I weigh between 150 and 155 pounds. I take walks around the country club and around North Hollywood whenever I go to my mom's place to get rid of some calories. I know a lot of Americans dislikes him, But I condemn Jamie Oliver for trying to get people in a small town in West Virgina to be aware of the risks of un-proper eating habits and to save the healths of young elementary school children in that city. If there's a season two of that show, he should try to challenge up with the corporate big wigs who own the fast food restaurants. It's gonna be tough and impossible because some of those restaurants already have special healthy low cholesterol menus and also it would hurt sales and the business itself if they decided to eliminate the patties and the fried potatoes and the soft drinks. Cause at the end, its all about the money. That's a term people should have branded in their minds cause it goes for everything, including professional sports. I mean, I used to work at a McDonalds Restaurant back in high school, which had its moments, and I used to see the same people come in every time I run my shift. In other words, there's some, not all people who come there and other fast food places religiously, which is very sad if you think about it.

Bottom line, I gotta stop eating junk food.

So anyway, back to the story, those two bitches had caused me to lose my appetite that cost me $7.50 and to make me get out of the Jack in the Box to avoid hearing them. I then decided to go to the ATM in my bank to deposit my $10 in my savings, since the bank is already closed because it's Saturday. But then the ATM wouldn't take my Visa bank card cause it stated that my account has been deactivated. That didn't surprise me, cause I've been out of work since December. When I was about to head home, I saw an old person riding his electric Rascal wheelchair on Balboa Boulevard, WHICH IS A PUBLIC STREET HE WENT ON INSTEAD OF THE FUCKIN' SIDEWALK! He even crossed the intersection of Balboa and San Fernando Mission Boulevard and still kept going on the streets like the damn Energizer Bunny! Seriously, another reason why Jamie Oliver is laughing at us. I ended the day by watching Saturday Night Live for the first time since the Charles Barkley episode back in January. Tina Fey- Yes. Justin Bieber, in three sketches- No.

Sunday was....just another Sunday. I mowed the front lawn, pulled the trashed to the front curb (this is why people rather live in apartments) and watched the Lakers miss three free throws and get chocked literally in the last second by Portland Trailblazers minus Brandon Roy. I can't wait to see them go against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the First Round of the Playoffs, which means the Thunder will finally get some national airtime on Television along with the Bucks in the Eastern Conference. That pretty much ended my day there.

Finally yesterday I got a chance to hang with my friend Jeremy from church for the first time in a while. I wanted to go to the Glendale Galleria and have lunch at the In-N-out there, (yes, like I said, I'm a sucker for fast food restaurants, including In-N-out which is a requirement for living in Los Angeles) but we decided to hit up the Topanga Mall instead. I haven't been to that mall ever since my pops bought those two home theater stereo systems at Black Friday from the Sony Style, thanks to weak-ass Best Buy for not having that model in all three of their stores in the West Valley. No, I think the last time I went there was when I took one of my friends from the east coast over there at night and I took a photo of him posing next to a Porsche that's on display. I left my camera at home, so I though it was gonna be a usual hang outs like last year. When me and Jeremy got there I saw that they made some slight, slight, slight changes to the mall. First of all, they opened a yogurt shop or whatever it is they sell in the middle if the fucking "Canyon" portion of the mall. That spot is where they post the Christmas tree every year. Then they started selling Lakers gear at the Dodgers Clubhouse store, which I found unusual. I mean, that's like selling LA Kings gear at the Raider Image store. Finally the last thing that tripped me out was when I saw that they opened an Audi showroom dealership inside the mall right between the Lamborghini showroom dealership, which I've seen before, and the Neiman Marcus store. Probably Westfield's attempt to make that wing of the mall the West Valley version of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Oh yeah before I forget, I checked out the new iPad device at the Apple Store upstairs. Spent 45 minutes on it. I only like this thing just to showcase my photos, everything else is stuff you can get on a iPod touch that's $200 cheaper. Oh and speaking of Apple, I ran into two of my ex co-workers from when I used to work at the store in Sherman Oaks Fashion Square.

We then left the mall and decided to go check out the Nissan dealership in Woodland Hills. When we got there, they had something else that really, REALLY blew me away.

THEY HAD A MOTHERFUCKING R35 NISSAN GTR OUT ON THE LOT FOR SALE!!!! NOT DISPLAYED IN THE SHOWROOM!

I was very heated cause #1) There's an $80,000 supercar that goes 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and has tires that are filled with Nitrogen outside for anybody to glance out, including those clueless kids from Taft High school just down the street, and #2) I left my camera at home. Jeremy test drove the base model Nissan Cube around Woodland Hills which was so and so. We even had a shot of driving it on the 101, but it was rush hour, so go figure. Before we left, the dealer started up the GTR and that shit sounded nice in person. It even WAY better hearing it than from hearing it from the most expensive, top of the line Bose stereo system out there. That car might be sold already by tomorrow since its $10,000 below face value. Then we chilled at Pierce College for a bit since he has a class there that night. I didn't even see anybody that I knew at he campus, cause every time I go there, I'd always run into at least 1 or 2 people. But I bet those people have already graduated or transferred to a University. The only good part of that day was to check out the R35 starting up for 10 seconds.

Shit, its already 1:33 in the morning. I took up way too much time but whatever. Oh and finally, even though I don't watch a lot of Televison, I want ABC, or the Walt Disney Company for that matter, to get rid of Dancing with the Stars. That program is overrated and it features has been Z-listers who are not supposed to dance get some injury from doing the Salsa, the Rumba, the Cha Cha Cha (yes I just said that) or any of those dances. I just looked at the lineup and here's my take

THE ONES WHO WERE ELIMINATED
-Shannen Dorethy- she's gone. Probably left on purpose to avoid being on the newsstands again just like in the early 90's.

-Buzz Aldrin- he's gone. Dude shouldn't even leave the house. Going to the another life source in God's universe is way better than anything here. By the way, I saw him and his wife in person two years ago, and I still get chills from that experience.

-Aiden Turner- his ass is out, and I never watch soaps.


THE ONES WHO'S ARE STILL IN...FOR NOW
-Pamela Anderson- I was gonna go see her at West Hollywood for the launch of a Vegetarian Milkshake that she came out with last week, but I knew it was gonna be hell with paparazzi and 27 year old virgins, so I didn't bother

-Erin Andrews- Didn't she get enough attention with the whole court case against the horny bastard who videotape her at the hotel? I give that guy props by the way to check out an ESPN correspondent outside of SportsCenter. I think she might win because she works for the people who air this program. By the way, Rachel Nichols > Erin Andrews

-Kate Gosselin- um, doesn't she have a nursery school to raise instead of trying to persuade or entice her dance instructor to elope?

-Evan Lysacek- I didn't watch one bit of the Winter Olympics 2 months ago but this dude is trying to risk another injury. I'm sorry but I had to say it.

-Nicey Nash- um, No comment. I don't wanna be rude, but I don't wanna see her on HD or in person

-Chad Johnson- Only brought in just for ratings and to lose to Nicole Scherzinger in the final episode. Please go back to the last name your parents had and focus on trying not to get Marvin Lewis on pins and needles every Sunday.

-Jake Pavelka- another fool who had enough attention in the newsstands

-Nicole Scherzinger- The reason why people are watching this conceded program. This bitch is gonna win the whole damn thing, cause she's fine as hell. I'm calling it.

SERIOUSLY, GUYS?!?!




I wouldn't be surprised if Rihanna tricked out Matt Kemp's Xbox 360 or if Kendra Wilkinson tricked out Hank Baskett's Nintendo Wii, even though he plays for the Eagles.

By the way I met both Khloe and Lamar in person, before they got hitched. Very nice people. Can't wait to see this on eBay in 3-5 years

Kobe still doin work




on his way to the locker room with the blonde behind him

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

No wonder the divorce rate is high. Is this shit even legal?

So I was watching MTV JAMS for the first time in forever earlier, and as soon as I turned on the TV, which took 15.2 seconds on the Mitsubishi 65 inch, and changed to the channel. Right when I got there, it just showed the end of a Young Money video, which I knew that they're gonna go to an endless commercial break that's nothing but fake-ass Acne products, weight loss shit and Vocational schools that will suck up your wallet. But instead of all that stuff, they showed this instead...




My heart skipped two or three beats when I saw that advertised. I already knew about that site on the internet but I didn't think that it was gonna be nationally televised. This site will pretty much fuck up everyone and change the way we think of society as I know it as well as trusting people, including your own blood family and kin, will never be the same. Ever.

One Third of 2010 so far and today was weird

Haven't been on here the past few days, weeks, centuries or whenever you want to call it whatever you want. I just didn't have the motivation

I'm gonna confess straight out. What I'm about to say is gonna shock you, so hide the kids and your grandparents.


I haven't done anything recently.

Absolutely nothing.

I have no vehicle right now, I'm not working right now (I don't think I can get hired anywhere), I'm banned from any Junior College within the city of Los Angeles because of dues I owe and my Progress Report was below average (except for the Acting course I took two years ago which was cool) among other things, so my chances of going back to community College is hella out of reach.

But I'm glad March is finally over. Shit, even my 22nd birthday was low key. I had to tell my mom about it at the last minute cause I thought she was gonna ask me what I wanted to do on my birthday, which she usually does every year. I think she was thinking of something else, but she still arranged a little birthday Luncheon at LA Buffet in Northridge across from the Northridge Fashion Center. Nothing happened when we went. We all just ate Chinese food until we were full. The only good part that day was that my mom gave me $50 and the restaurant (I had to copy and paste that word from Google cause I always have trouble spelling it and Spell Checker is bullshit) gave me a gift certificate which I can use within a month, and I already did. Then my mom dropped all of us back home to my pops house in the Country Club and that was that.

Then the rest of the month got as worse as the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Oakland Raiders playing in the city of Cleveland. I didn't go out that much, hell I didn't go out at all. The only thing I did that was decent in march was that I test drove four cars, I almost got to test drive a Nissan but the dealership at Universal City Nissan was being pessimistic and one of the dealers at Sunrise Ford near my moms house was a racist. The cars I drove were a 2011 Kia Sorento at The Grove and 3 different Toyotas at LA Live.

This scenario is like the totally uncool dweeb kid at your school offering money for the Hot looking girls to do their homework for them, but I don't wanna be referred as the hot looking girl in this case. I mean these are two car companies that have gotten a weird balance over the past few weeks. Kia is trying to be cool and Toyota is losing its cool due to the recalls of its newer model vehicles. So when I saw the Sorento at the Grove, at first I thought it was just gonna be a regular family crossover SUV, but I was wrong, dead wrong. The car felt great with its unanswered power of 276 horses, a lot of space on the back and a shit load of tech on the front panel. I even like how it shifts down to first gear by itself when you use the electronic manual transmission mode. Afterwards they gave me two issues of Car and Driver and a $20 gift card to the Grove, which I thought was cool.

The Toyota test drives were slightly different from the one at the Grove. It took place the same day as the Lakers Fan Jam event at the Convention Center did, which replaced Fiesta Lakers. There wasn't alot of people there to check out the Toytoas that they had on display to check out cause it feels like people didn't wanna take a chance after the incident of that one guy who's Toyota Prius kept accelerating, which I think was staged. They had 3 new 2011 Sienna minivans, 2 Toyota Venzas and a Camry Hybrid. I drove one of each. The Sienna looked really nice inside, especially the back seat. It had a 16x4 widescreen rear monitor and RECLINING SEATS WITH FEET RESTS! That's something you would find in a BMW 7 series or a Maybach. The Venza was my favorite to drive. Even though the Tech takes time to get used to, the car was a really great comfortable experience to drive. I'm a Nissan person but the only Toyotas that I like is the 3rd and 4th generation Supra and the last two Celica models, all of them are discontinued thanks to US emission standards and the birth of the Scion division., so I'll add the Venza on that list. The Camry Hybrid was quiet, literally. Even the ride with the test driver instructor and I didn't say anything in the car. At the end they gave me a cheaper prize than the guys at Kia gave me, a carry on Tote with a stainless steel Canteen both bearing the Toyota logo. Plus its a good thing I didn't go to Lakers Fan Jam across the street for a few reasons.

1. I didn't have cash to buy the tickets for admission
2 . The tickets were sold out, which was on a Sunday
3. From what I read and watched, there were lines for EVERYTHING. Even to get snacks from the concession stands.
4. I met the players of the team that showed up before, except Shannon Brown.
5. Kobe didn't sign autographs, just came to the stage and said that he's gonna get the team back to the Finals.
6. Again, there were lines for EVERYTHING. Autographs, games, to shoot hoops on the courts and lines to get in different lines.
7. No Spanish-themed Latin influence like the previous years.

I was surprised Jeanie Buss made an appearance there to sign autographs and pose for pictures. I wish she did that last year, but I already got a shot of her when her pops got a star at the Hollywood walk of fame four years ago.

The other great part of the Month of March is that I finally got to see Tila Tequila in person. Here's the strange part, it was at her old house in the Hollywood Hills. She did a garage sale so that she could erase the memory of her late Girlfriend Casey Johnson who passed away earlier this year and who used to live with her at that house. It was supposed to happen in the first Sunday of the month but she postponed it to Saturday on the 20th because of the fucking Academy Awards, which the Hurt Locker won best picture, like I give a shit. I went with a my friend Ryan to her place and ran into two people who used to go to my high school. I knew one of them since Sixth Grade so it was great seeing them again. I thought it was gonna be crazy ass crowd since a famous person in Tila Tequila gave out her address over the internet. The LAPD came to make sure things go safe along with the Paparazzi as well of course. The garage sale was pretty much a regular garage sale. Nothing too spectacular except the house itself. A lot of her stuff was very expensive, except her shirts which were micro sized small. I was gonna get a quick headshot of her, but her security kicked me out for taking a lot of photos inside her place.
Oh well, at least I got a picture of her on her porch.

Afterwards we cruised down to the OC to check out some parties that was happening there. One of Parties we went to had Filipino barbeque food which was FREAKIN' DELICIOUS. Afterward we checked out another party that was gonna be at a hotel in Carson. There were actually two parties that took place there. The one we originally were planning on going to was my friends band performing at a meeting room and the other party took place at a banquet hall, which was hosted by an African American fraternity, with a LOT of fine ass women . I decided to crash that party instead but the line is insanely long, had to wait for an hour to get in. So when I got in, it was anything goes in there. The banquet hall was very dark, everybody was grinding each other and sweating, hell it was so hot, the glass windows were fogged with beads of perspiration. I looked like I was a few years older than these college people, who were around 18 to 24. Or maybe I was wearing a Tan Hawaiian shirt with black slacks and some brown loafers that day. I didn't take a lot of photos cause the power went out in the camera, which was weird cause I charged it the night before. I might sell my Cybershot W290 and get probably a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot. But that was a hell of a night, especially cruising the 405 during the middle of the night in the dense fog, fuckin' dope ass shit. Shoutout to my friend Ryan. Thanks for the lift dude, I owe you Twenty Dollars.

But yeah, that was how last month went. We're already 4 days in April and today was a terrible day to be in Los Angeles. The shopping malls were closed due to Resurrection Sunday, or Easter for those who are non-Christian, there was a big ass earthquake near the US/Mexico border that happened earlier which caused some people to get stuck in some elevators, and the Lakers lost to the San Antonio Spurs. At home. In the Staples Center. Bad result to think of. Plus it might rain this week, which I like. Hope things turn out well for myself and everyone else who's going through some rough shit at this time. Just stay positive as my old job advisor told me, even though she failed at getting me hired last year.

Oh yes, before I leave, Facebook fucking sucks. It's taken over half of the internet by using your profile to log into any site out there. Same thing to the douche who cheated on Sandra Bullock. Dude's a jackass for not being with that piece of fine ass.
