Twenty-Six Candles



First and foremost, I'll be twenty-six tomorrow.

Secondly, I really hate to say this, but I'll be discontinuing posting on here for the time being.

Judging from the length and lack of updates, I no longer have the time to be wiring on here anymore courtesy of this taxicab gig and everything else important in my agendas. Also, the blogging trend isn't as hot as it was 8 years ago when I first started blogging. Somehow, my ever constant schedule decreased my desire and interest to write on here.

As I said before, I work at least an average of 12 hours a day, getting six to eight hours of sleep, and the rest of the time, I'm either doing stuff with my family, hanging out at Primitive Shoes and Apparel, feasting at Pizza Rev or In-N-Out, making graphics on Illustrator to escape from stress and/or spending some hours on the phone with the little brother and some close female friends of mine. My time is always occupied, and that shit goes so fucking quick.

I'm supposed to be at Los Angeles International Airport right now picking up people, but I just woke up from over sleeping for three hours since I pulled in extra hours in the middle of the night and I still feel tired. But I have to be there despite the fact that I really hate driving down there and dealing with the headache and the simple-minded ass security down there at the terminals. That place is always corrupt when it comes to going from one terminal to another. And the worst part is the freeways of course. I'm there every five days.

I don't plan on doing this job for a long time. Its something to do on the side until I start getting more relevant in terms of financial stability. Its decent at sometimes and the rest of it is just whatever. That type of shit is like that with every basic ass job. I honestly think not everyone enjoys being at an office desk job wearing a necktie and trying not to get fired from eye-fucking at the young, sexy, female secretary every morning. No disrespect, they're probably working this just to make ends meet for their family, or for themselves until they make enough revenue to venture into investing in their own business of interest. That's what I'm doing with my photograph business. Its not big and hyped out yet, but I'm taking my time to have that happen.

I will say this though. If you don't feel uncomfortable in your work environment, just fucking walkout and find something else to do. Yes, not alot of places are hiring, but you're better off doing something you really like than to have your parents place you somewhere where you make decent money at a place you've never pursued in before. Or better yet, just have some patience while your making money. I've had several jobs in the past 10 years where my co-workers and bosses are just assholes you wanna spit on. That's one of the many challenges in the adult life, and with myself turning twenty-six tomorrow, I have a lot of challenges up ahead later in life.

Another thing is that I'll will be deactivating my Facebook profile after today. Despite the fact that my initial purpose was to showcase my photography work on there, the site just lost its taste. I liked it when I first joined back in 2007 as an alternative to MySpace at the time, but now its totally over-commercialized and the founder of the social network site was on the cover of Time magazine, has more revenue than most of the States in this country and he's not even reached 30 yet. Facebook just sucks now.

If you want to contact me up or send me an unnecessary birthday shoutout, just hit me up on Twitter @justforsneaks or my instagram @justforsneaks07, cause I'm on those two applications alot more everyday on my iPhone 5. Better yet, just send me a text message or give me a call anytime of the day for business inquiries or whatever (if I don't answer, its because I might be driving on the freeway or handling business, so just leave a voice message). My number is 818-736-2986. I might be back on Facebook in the future, not too sure yet. Again, I've been busy alot (real busy, not fake busy) and I really wish I can continue blogging on here every other day, but as I'm getting older to better myself, I just don't have the time to cause typing up one regular blogpost take forever. MY favorite blogger/celebrity jeweler Ben Baller said that he had to stop blogging last year cause he's now focused on his family, his work and his second kid on the way, respectively, so now I know how that is.

Well, for those who have been reading this site since 2009, thanks for your time. I'll leave this active so that y'all can check out the previous blogposts that have been archived for the past five years. (You might want to bookmark this site) Again, if you want photos taken or anything, feel free to contact me. Finally, I just want to leave this Catholic-type saying that I just made up yesterday while driving on Victory and White Oak in Encino:

Save One And Others,
For Ever Given.  

Thank you. Blessings.

Spoiled Beginnings



I've said this almost 4 years ago on MySpace as well as on here a few times and I'll say it again. Everyone is very busy nowadays.

I'm not tripping, but seriously, everyone I know is either doing stuff that take up so much of their time and their schedules are even booked up a few weeks in advance. Its not just everyone that's busy, but I'm even way more busier than before, which is why I haven't been updating this blogsite in the past month. Not that I haven't lost interest in typing, but its just I haven't found the time to work on this.

Its been already three months since I've been driving taxicabs around the San Fernando Valley. Everyday, I've been doing it for 12 hours a day, driving an average of 100 miles at least for seven days a week, and getting paid everyday. Then I get about 8 hours of sleep and two hours doing stuff with the family, so there for I have about two hours of free time, which is mostly spent on checking on Facebook, instagram and my Bank accounts. Typing on this site for me requires some energy and thought, but for losing 20 hours of your time day after day, you just don't feel like spilling out some words like I used to, cause I wasn't working as much then as I am now. My favorite blogger/celebrity jeweler Ben Baller has to put his blog on the brakes last week cause he has to focus on his wife Nicolette Lacson and his son as well as other personal business. At first I was upset cause I would always look forward to reading his blogs for inspiration and amusement for the past 5 years, but in all seriousness, I respect his decision to no longer updating on his personal life and wish him the best in his life.

Like I said in the past, May is one of the busiest months of the year. Alot has happened and it's not done yet. One of my cousins (the youngest in my immediate family) will be graduating from Loyola High School in Los Angeles next week and my homeboy Eric will be linking his life with his fiancee Jessica  in their wedding ceremony this Saturday. Also, my good friend Katie Galvez gave birth to a wonderful newborn girl a two and a half weeks ago. I was there to visit her 24 hours after her new daughter was born and that was a very unique, interesting moment on that Saturday. It was the first time since my youngest was born 19 years ago that I've ever seen a fresh young baby just straight out her mothers stomach. It made me think alot of life and how precious and fragile it is. I give my absolute best to Katie and Rudy for their new addition to their lives.

So yeah, I just thought I spill a little update on what's been going on with me so far. Even though not too many people keep up with their blogs cause of other important matters in their lives, I'll still continue to write on here and upload some photography for those who like to read this shit whenever I get the chance  Finally, I copped the iPhone 5 yesterday (wasn't cheap, but whatever). Was impressed with my cousins iPhone 4s when I was with him last week so it made me go out and get one for my self, but only the latest model. Its gonna take a while to get adjusted to it for expect your news feeds on Twitter and instagram to be flodded with photos and random statues that get tossed around in my mind. I didn't take that many photos yet, but here's two I took so far.





Lastly, here is my current lock screen capture featuring Lisa Ann (who I've met last year). The Hundreds isn't the only thing that's Huge. 



Anyway, thanks for your time reading this. I'll have some interesting stuff in the works, so stay in touch with me on instagram @justforsneaks07.

Like The Virgin



The thirst is real. 

Usually, I would upload this type of stuff on my other blog site, but after two years, I decided to not update the Nobody Reads Anymore. Nowadays, I can't handle running two blog sites as I envisioned it when I launched the Wordpress site back on January 2011. However, I'll leave it up for nostalgic purposes and to admire the women and current events from mostly 2011 and a few from 2012 that I discussed on there without the long paragraphs. As much as I liked it, the same concept will be posted on here like I did in the past. The link is below


Its time to grow up, unlike those two blokes in the image unless they eventually did it.
