Weekend Continued

As you may know already, I had a pretty epic weekend due to that foodie tour I did in NYC, however what I didn't tell you was that the day didn't just end with the foodie tour in NY.  In fact it was just beginning.  After getting back to Dave's we decided to hit up an auction joint.  What you don't know is that, Dave and Steffie have been telling me about this place for a while now, and all I've wanted to do for the past few weeks is get a samurai sword.  And now that I was there, I was determine to bid and win one.

Well after sitting through about 2 hours worth of waiting, and wading through copious amounts of non-sense splattered with pretty cool things in between.  The swords finally came out.  Oh man, this was the time I was waiting for.  A few went by, and then finally, I saw the one I knew I wanted.  Whether it was battle ready or not I couldn't tell.  However, I liked the hilt and handle, I also thought the extra carry bag was neat.  I didn't want to pay 50 for it, and I sure as heck didn't want to pay 40 for it, but when I saw it for 30, I tried to lowball the gentleman and throw it for 20.  That didn't work so I went 30.  In then end I won the bid, however, not without stupidly trying to outbid myself one more time.  Ugh, I'm an idiot.  Hahaha.  Oh well, that's the way it goes, and that's just how I roll I guess.  To me a win is a win.  

Now here I am with a brand new samurai sword at home, and what do I want to do now?  Well, the first thing I'm doing is buying an Accusharp Knife/Sword Sharpener.  I'm getting this thing sharpened where I can cut whatever I want in half.  Is it stupid?  Duh, of course it is.  Will it kill zombies in one slice?  It damn well better, cause I'm getting a ton of books on bushido and sword work.  I want to be able to slice and dice zombies if they ever come to life.  I'm not messing around, and please believe, that sword is going to be a last resort, cause my guns will come first.  I just keep thinking the swords is going to be a smart decision on everyone's part.  I don't know how long a zombie apocalypse would last, but I want to be able to survive one as long as possible.  

As you can see, I may be crazy, but I blame TV and movies for all my idiotic thoughts.  Especially since all I want to do is just be able to defend myself.  Now since I have one, I would love to have another one.  And it looks as though I might have another set in mind.  Even though me and Dave missed out on an epic set that we had seen there, I'm not too worried since I've seen the same set on Amazon.com for a cheaper price.  So no loss Davie Boy.  ^___^  However, I did find another sword set for 65 and supposedly this sword cuts through fingers right out of the packaging, and you know what that means.  This thing is born battle ready, and Wei is looking to get one of these bad boys.  

Oh, and another thing, before we go bashing Wei about how katanas or any samurai swords for that matter are terrible zombie killing equipment...yes I already know that.  But this is if I have no other choice.  I pray that there will be no zombie apocalypse and I'm just a nerdy guy that watches way too much anime/Walking Dead/"Place Zombie Movie here."

Foodie Weekend

What a weekend.  I don't know what else I could say about this weekend.  Probably the most fun time I had in a while.  I'm a foodie at heart, and well, I did many things, but lets get the food aspect of it out of the way.  It's the most food I've eaten since my Amsterdam trip that was different.  I don't know, I guess you can say everything was worth every bite.  And you know what?  Having your best friends with you doesn't hurt at all.  I had a blast in Amsterdam, but I realize how much I missed having people around.  Yesterday was nothing like that.  I had great company and great food.  And with that.  Let's start this blog.

So the first place we hit was Bon Chon, known for their Korean style chicken wings.  These things were delicious.  I don't know what it is, but it's the extra crispy wings that make them delicious to me.  How can I explain this.  It's not super saucy and the well, the wings when you bite into them have this great crispy texture, the texture of a really good chicharon.  Like good crispy pig skin.  It was so good.  Like I said, not to saucy but still had a nice kick.  We got the half and half, a soy glazed one and a hot wing.  Oh man, this things are addictive, if you haven't had them yet try them out.  They are located on: 207 West 38th Street
New York, NY 10018.  Oh man are they addictive...I kinda want some now.  

Visit http://www.bonchon.com/ for more info. 
What's next?  Let's see...oh, mini cupcakes.  The oddest creation ever I think.  They're just cupcakes the size of a nickel.  And you know what...I think they're worth it.  Well for a buck a piece...maybe.  I don't know.  It was good.  I had a peanut butter and jelly cupcake and a s'mores cupcake.  Yummy.  Only in New York would you find a place like this.  Take a chance, and take a look.  It's awesome.  

Picture doesn't do it justice here.  They look like regular sized cupcakes...however...

They're super tiny, I was hoping you can see my fingers in this pic.  Good luck.  
After the little cupcakes, I think my favorite joint came up next.  Man this is one of the best meals a person could have, I loved every second of it.  Yum-O!  Yup, pulled a Rachel Ray.  Dave and Steffie basically popped my Halal Cart cart cherry by taking me to one of the original Halal Guys cart on 53rd street in NYC.  This shit was orgasmic.  I mean dangerously orgasmic.  I didn't want to tell Dave and Steffie I wanted to get my own, but I really did.  I was very cautious of this meal, cause I knew we would be eating a ton more, but I really just wanted to push everyone out of the way of the carts and say..."MY CART!, THIS IS MY CART!"  However supposedly the story goes, these guys carry knives, and I am not in the business of getting my ass stabbed for white sauce and red sauce.  Delicious, and please believe, I may have found my substitute for Philly.  I might just drive to Center City to pick one up one day.  Dangerous.  Oh, and by the way, I'll explain the dish.  The dish consists of chicken and lamb on a bed of rice and lettuce, with a shredding of turkish bread.  The amalgamation of both meats and rice and bread are amazing.  Perfectly season cubed meats and then the superior white and red sauces splayed all over it. Ugh...I don't know how to explain it.  There are many that have no clue what this white sauce is made of, some say it's crack, others say it's a mixture of mayo, yogurt, and sour cream.  To me, whatever that shit is...it's delicious, and another thing, I don't care what's in it, as long as I can get me some extra of it.  MMMMMmmmmMMMM...

Men at work

Perfection in ingredients































Now the next stop on our foodie tour was Dave's favorite spot.  For years, I've been craving another pastrami sandwich the likes of Katz's deli.  And you know what?  There isn't any place like Katz's for pastrami, and their pickles?  Well, I'm a bigger fan of their fresher, greener, pickles.  To me, Katz's pastrami will always be best, and it's sandwich shops like these that always makes me want to continue to open one. Thanks for being the inspiration that I need, but your service could use some work.  Yeah...I said it.  

Katz's original.  Delicious
Okay, so we've been to a ton of places at this point, what more could we possibly eat?  Good question, because since we were so close to Katz's Deli, the next reasonable stop had to be Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery.  Ever had a knish?  If not, I'll try to explain it to the best of my knowledge.  To me a knish has always been a fried doughy outside with a mash potato consistency on the inside.  And these knishes, well they were good.  Quite good.  I actually never really had a knish like this before, so I'm not a real expert.  I thought it was good.  It was up to my standard.  Whatever that standard may be


The last and final stop on our tour of foodie land in NYC is the delicious Italian bakery Caffe Roma, kinda like that touristy joint in Little Italy, but you know what.  I like that.  In the end we all got our own little deserts, and each one was delicious.  Steffie got a tartufo, Dave got himself a mini batch of cookies, and me?  Well I went big and got myself a sfogliatella and a cannoli.  Both of them were amazing.  Oh man, I want another sfogliatella right now.  UUggghh...

Man, look at all these desserts.  Delicious, a great way to end our little food tour, and nothing better than ending it with Italian pastries 
Steffie's Tartufo
Well, that's how it all ended, what a great day this was, as a foodie I couldn't have asked for a better day.  Thank you Dave and Steph for taking me out on a wonderful journey of a day, and thank you once again for everything else this weekend guys.  Love youse guys, always the best.

Oh, and another thing, guys and gals.  I'm going to be adding the link for my fundraising for leukemia and lymphoma society.  Please add to my goal.  Any amount would do.  Thanks ladies and gents.  I really appreciate it.  ^___^

Thanks Everyone!!!

Fundraising

What has been going on lately?  Honestly, nothing too crazy on my end.  Living life, getting things prepared, attempting to get ready for a zombie apocalypse, making dinner, looking forward to buying samurai swords.  Zombie demolishing kits, and oh so much more.  No seriously, things have been getting pretty busy for me.  Between work and trying to train for this 5K, I've now officially added fundraising in the mix.  Yup that's right, crossing off one of the big things on my list in life.  Fundraising for a good cause.  Didn't think it be this year, however here we are right?  Crazy.

So lets begin this jib.  I've been doing this RTK thing now for about roughly a month.  However, I have not been doing any fundraising yet.  However, I began thinking I better start before the end of fundraising date.  Fundraising ends on April 26th of 2012.  My goal?  I just want to make at least $500 for Run Team Kina.  For some odd reason I thought it would be best.  I'm not trying to beg for money hear.  Just trying to get the awareness out for Leukemia and Lymphoma.  Honestly, I think it's a doable amount, so hopefully I will receive some donation.  If not, I'll try my best to make up the difference.  If not we'll see what happens I guess.  So that's the gist of it folks, just trying to make the best of fundraising, if you like to visit the site please see the below.  And if you can, please submit a donation, not only would I truly appreciated, but the people with leukemia and lymphoma would as well.  You never know what this future research can go to, and you never know who it may help.  Check out the website: http://los.runteamkina.llsevent.org/wei

Okay, well besides all this fundraising thing, I just realized that I also went to an amazing concert on Monday as well.  I may have mentioned Eisley before, and well, I went to an Eisley concert on Monday. It was an amazing concert.  I can't stop thinking about how good those siblings are, they are pretty amazing really.  I can't help but like them.  Not only are they adorable, but they are extremely talented.  I mean, amazingly talented.  I want to put them on the same level as Kina, however I'm not.  I just can't Kina is the awesomest.  Maybe it's just because I have a thing for girls with guitars or bass or rather, girls that play instruments in general.  I'm a sucker for them.

Anyway, back to the concert.  It was amazing, playing songs from all three of their LPs and then playing songs on their new EP.  It was good.  I love how they cleaned up on all of their albums, I also liked the fact that at the merch table I was able to pick up a copy of the "Valley," in vinyl format.  That really made my spectacular evening that much more special.  The more I hear and attend concerts, the more I want to play better.  I don't think I'm playing well enough, but everyone keeps telling me that I'm doing well.  I guess practicing helps a lot.

Hmm...let's see, not much else to say tonight.  It has been one long day, and I can't wait to get some sleep tonight, for now, evening y'all, and enjoy the Eisley video.  I like the second song better than Valley.  ^___^

That's my Last Meal?

Lately I've been writing pretty depressing things.  Between Kony and my need to have and want things, it looks pretty bleak on good old Wei's bloggy blog.  So tonight I'm writing a little something more uplifting and a little more happier.  What could I be writing about you ask?  Well honestly, the topic of the night is...last meals.  Hypothetical of course.  If you were on your life's end, what would you choose?  Check out the list below for my choices.  Just a forewarning, I have no favorites really.  These are just random, and honestly, it be very difficult for me to put these in order.  So no particular order, and the taste, well as you will see, it's very eclectic.

10. Steak Dinner

Look it's the dinner of choice for so many Americans, whether you have the porterhouse, a filet mignon, flank, skirt, strip, ribeye (my personal favorite).  Maybe with a side of potatoes and some veggies.  It is known to be one of the best dinners you will ever have.  Cook it up your favorite way, and you have one of the best meals ever.  I don't know what it is, but the visceral feel of cutting up your meat, and chewing it like a cave man, well it just makes you feel like a man.  And nothing beats a great steak than having a great drink with it.  I prefer a nice single malt scotch at this point.  Maybe a nice high ball glass of Glenfiddich aged 21 years to finish the meal.  Perfection, that's what I call a manly man's last meal.  Delicious.  


Look, if you can look at this and not get hungry, there's a problem with you, and if you're a vegetarian...sorry, but you're missing out on some tasty tasty murder.  Once again...sorry.

9.  Fried Chicken

I don't care who makes it, where it's made, or how it's made.  As long as I got a nice crispy bite from my first bite, and it's extremely savory, with a hint of love to it.  That last one was a joke, but it's really not.  Seriously, fried chicken is the most amazing meal ever.  And you add a side of mash potatoes, mac and cheese, cole slaw, a buttermilk biscuit, and an extra large sweet tea ice tea, you have yourself one nice finish to life.  Seriously, it's a great last meal.  I take it.  


Juicy in every bite, with a nice crispy skin...I want fried chicken now.  Jebus.
8. BBQ

I don't care what kind of barbecue I'm having, as long as it is finger licking good.  I love me a great set of ribs, an awesome cut of BBQ chicken, awesome slices of brisket and burnt ends, and lastly some tasty tasty pulled pork, or even whole hog.  You ever get that BBQ, and you taste that first bite, and it's just an amalgamation of savory, spicy, and sweet, with all that lovely carnivores flavors in your mouth.  It's nothing but an explosion of flavors.  How can I say no to this meal?  I can't that's why it's on the list.  Go out there and try to find the best BBQ possible, it'll be worth it.  Seriously.  


Nom, nom, nom...best part of the pig, cheeks.  Try it.
7. Dim Sum

I don't know why.  I really like dim sum.  I don't have it often, but when I do, I enjoy all the little intricate details behind it all.  Between serving tea to all your friends, talking and laughing, choosing the little mini dishes that roll around in the carts.  Freaking your friends out by eating chicken feet, taro cake, just thinking about it makes me want to have dim sum right now.  Oh man, and pork dumplings.  It's a nice last meal to reminisce about the life you had, talk to your closest family and friends, and just enjoy the time with each other.  


I know it's suppose to be a little at a time, however when I go to dim sum with Anthony, this is how the spread usually looks, but it always ends in a good time.

6. Sushi

Yeah, it's on here.  And I'm not talking about that Americanized version, where every roll is a specialty roll, by the way, that's good as well.  However, I'm talking about that whole Japanese real deal sushi experience.  Where it's just you and the sushi roller.  He chooses all your dishes, and you don't add soy sauce and wasabi.  You don't dilute the real sanctity of how sushi should really happen.  Instead, you enjoy the cleanliness of the fish and the soft melody of the rice and lingering flavors of the sauce that is included with a brush to add to the rice.  The intricate details of it all.  Oh yeah, that's how I wan't it to end.  



*Sigh*...now I want sushi.

5. Sandwiches

I come from Philly, and there are few important sandwiches that we make that I enjoy.  Between the pork sandwiches and the cheesesteaks that are created.  It's pretty amazing, and well, I don't just enjoy old school sandwiches, but I enjoy the newness and freshness that I haven't had all the sandwiches that I could.  Sandwich that I would really love to have, Katz's Deli pastrami sandwich.  Oh man, a $16 sandwich has to be worth it right?  Of course it does, of course it does.  


4. Gelato

Maybe as a desert, however I don't care.  Gelato is delicious.  Ten times better than regular ice cream.  Due to the lower fat content in the gelato, and the extra air taken out, it gets a creamier, and smoother texture and it's delicious.  I don't know, I had it last weekend, and it was great.  I just need an i.v. of it.  Oh man, I need to get some gelato now.  Why am I writing this at night?  I'm killing myself here.  


3. Pasta

I don't care what it is, how it is.  But pasta is the shit.  Whether it is in a blush sauce, alfredo, or pesto.  Pasta goes with anything.  I actually have a craving for gnocchi's, gnocchi's and alfredo sauce.  I don't know, I like the creamy cheese sauces.  However, nothing beats fresh pasta and a little marinara.  Oh man, dang...that would be an epic meal.  With a crusty Italian roll, and some olive oil.  Oh yeah.  That's how I want it all to end.  


2. Korean BBQ

It's not like regular BBQ, Korean BBQ is awesome.  It's different, BBQ with an Asian twist.  Soy sauces, and all those little mini appetizer dishes in the beginning.  Kalbi, bimbimbap, and bulgogi...all that good jazz.  I don't know what it is about it. It has some intricacies that you don't know until you try it.  I think I be satisfied if this was a last meal...yeah.  Definitely satisfied.  


1. Thanksgiving Dinner

Aaahhhhh yess...the last and greatest meal on earth would be the epic family Thanksgiving dinner.  And I don't mean just the bird.  I want it all.  Turkey, stuffing, casseroles, ham, sides, everything.  I don't know what it is about this meal.  However it's my favorite one throughout the year.  I just love love love Thanksgiving dinner.  I like it even better than Chinese New Year dinner.  So if I were to die in a few days, and I had to choose my last me, Thanksgiving is it.  

I make a mean turkey

Want, Want, Want

In a day an age obsessed with wanting the newest and latest craze.  Or even just needing some everyday necessities.  America is the land of having the best and owning the best.  We live in a materialistic world.  It was just how we were born and raised.  Now, seriously ask yourself the following question.  Do you really need that new iPad 3?  Do you really need that BMW?  Do you really need to smoke Cuban cigars?  Do you really need to drink $300 scotch?  Do you need any of this ludicrous or ridiculous things?  If you said yes?  Then welcome to your average American.  If you said no, well then, welcome the very few and far in between.  

Now the question is what am I?  Well, I guess you can say I'm the first guy.  I'm the guy that believes working extremely hard entitles you to have nice things.  They don't have to be everything, but at least owning a couple of nice things don't hurt.  I'm a firm believer of earning everything that I get.  So, if I worked extremely hard for something, aren't I deserving of owning something nice?  I believe I'm entitled to that.  

But Wei, if you buy that iPad 3?  Aren't you putting in to what all the slave labors and terrible work conditions in China is?  Aren't you feeding corporate greed and funding the 1%?  Doesn't this weigh on your conscious?  Well, either I'm cold-hearted, or I'm trying to think practical here.  Where else am I suppose to get a Macbook?  Where else am I going to get a iPod?  Where am I'm going to get a pair of Nikes for running?  Where am I going to be able to smoke the boutique cigars that I enjoy?  Yes, I am harboring the terrible labor laws that are occurring in China/Vietnam/India/Singapore, and all those other great places.  However, what can I do about it?  Stop buying the products you say?  Okay, that's fine I can?  But how come it never goes away?  I'm one man?  If we all stop it, then what? Apple goes out of business, Nike goes out of business, all those big companies go out of business?  What happens to America?  Our shit goes down the toilet, not like it hasn't been in the last few years, but it sure as all hell is going to be ten times worse.  

I'm not saying that what all these companies are doing is right, in fact I know it's wrong.  However, until China, or all those other countries find ways to control their own labor laws, and economic structures, big business will be there taking advantage of their cheap labor.  I agree, it's bad, but in the end the almighty dollar controls all.  And if big business is not going to be taken advantage of by the loopholes that are presented, then why are they even big business.  It's easy to say bring the companies back and force them to build their products here in the states?  However the world is a global economy.  

Look what I'm trying to say is, if a product is provided, and it's the best darn product on the market, I'm not going to go out of my way to not purchase it.  That's just plain retarded.  It's like being given a choice of choosing either a skirt steak or a rib eye, and you choose the skirt because you think that it will help 300 Chinaman make more money.  It doesn't work that way unfortunately.  In the end, those 300 Chinaman, will not feel your generosity of choosing the inferior cut, in the end, they will still be paid the same wages, and they will continue to make the same product whether you choose to buy or not.  

Well for all that I offended, my sincerest apologies, but if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to listening to my iPod, and then head for bed.

The Next Season Begins...

Yup, that's right.  Fantasy baseball.  I'm that guy.  No actually I'm not that guy.  I'm the guy that makes my research happen the day of the draft, the guy that freaks out when I have only 10 seconds left, the guy that has no clue what he's doing, but has awesome friends the let him play for the last three years.  I'm the guy that prays that he can hold his own and make it competitive.

Last year I got lucky beating out Mr. Dave, Jr.  Me and my Cliff Lee taking it in with a complete game last year.  I don't know how I got away with it.  But the baseball gods were smiling on me that week.  Ending up in second is a great feeling, and this year I hope I can try and just be competitive once again.  However, what I look forward to the most.

WARROOM!  We sit together, get the laptops up and running, and choose our players.  It's a great time, I just like the atmosphere in the room.  I love my friends so much.  No matter who wins or what happens, it's always just a good time.  So to my buds, lets have another great season.  It's going to be awesome.

And for everyone else out there that's playing fantasy, have fun, and remember.  It's just a friendly game/competition.

#Kony2012

For a while, I didn't know where my stance on this was.  If you have or haven't heard of Joseph Kony, here is the scoop, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kony.  Look, I can go all about it and tell you who he is...or you can take a look at wikipedia, and read it from there.  That's really all that matters.  The main thing I want to talk about is the whole KONY2012.

So lets do this.  Kony2012 is a viral activity to get people to know the facts and story behind Joseph Kony. Yes, he needs to be arrest and yes this shit needs to happen this year.  Whether this is your take on this or not, you have to agree, Kony is a bad man, and must be charged and taken away for his crimes and injustice.  If we can all just get out there and just tell one person about it, we can all make a huge difference.  Seriously, if we all just put our minds to it, we can make this happen.  I wholeheartedly believe this.

Now for the downer portion of this blog.  There have been many rumblings calling the Invisible Children group a shady non-profit organization.  So may say the money has been mishandled, some may say that the military group that the Invisible Children group that they are advising and leading are even worse than the LRA.  All the propaganda and movies being created to aid in the Invisible Groups cause, is just an easy way to persuade us.  And lastly, why isn't anything else being done to get out there and capture even worse guys in our own back yards.

I don't know people, I haven't seen any other videos about any other group, nor have I heard about or seen anything to disprove of what Invisible Children has been doing.  However I have seen change from what they are doing.  Am I saying that I don't believe that there is a negative connotation going with what Invisible Children is doing?  Am I saying that the blogs and other articles disproving the credibility of Invisible Children is true?  No, I'm not saying anything, I believe that you have to make your own factual decisions on these matters, and learn more about the case.  I myself am just trying to know what is going on behind this whole thing.  What does it matter, shouldn't we just care about the good that is being done?  Why do we have to disprove or discredit and organization that is just trying to do good.  Lets not slander anyones good name.  Lets just call it what it is, and just try to give a helping hand.

Next thing on this list of Kony subjects.  The idea that people should get a clue and know more about other terrorist and other evil people in the world, well I for one do not enjoy the political fair of these kinds of things.  Yes, you're right, I don't know enough, however I know when people need help.  If you can prove to me why I should hate someone, or rather have a voice to raise a cause against someone else, then by all means do it, and I shall follow you as well.  If I don't know about these things, because no one else talks about it then obviously I have nothing to report or even show for it.  In this age of social media and what it can do.  I think it's our responsibility to be able to spread this kind of news.  Why do we have to shatter peoples notion and say they are wrong or immoral for trying to help.  I just want to help.  That is all.  And if someone can tell me what's going on and I can pass that message along, then yeah.  I'm helping.  So for all you haters out there I say this.  Tough shit, cause you're on your ass not doing anything about it except for sitting on your computer complaining about other people going out there and actually doing something about it.  So as my dear friend George would say, "Haters gonna hate."

Just so I'm not on a bias level, here is a video that disagrees with the original video. http://thedailywh.at/2012/03/07/on-kony-2012-2/

As for the below, watch, learn, and maybe spread the word if you like.  If not, then continue on your day.  It doesn't matter right?  You haven't heard about it for the last 25 years, why now?


Look people, this is what is going in the world.  I understand it's happening in our backyards.  So why not do what we can to fix it all?  This could just be the first step in a major thing.  Let it be the good that it's trying to be?  There is no harm in that right?

The Hachi Roku Obsession

I don't know what it is, I don't know how to explain it.  However, my obsession and love for the AE86 has returned once again.  I've been dying to purchase one of these vehicles for the last 10 years.  And I feel like I'm at a point in my life where I can legitimately get one and cruise around in it.  I don't know what it is, but once again, I've been bitten by the Trueno bug, and I can't get my mind off it.

So what is the hachi roku?  Well if you know just the slightest amount of Japanese, then you are one step above everyone else.  Hachi stands for 8 and roku?  Well that stands for 6.  Hence the 8-6 or ae86.  What does that mean?  Well that's something you have to know about the car.  The A = engine type (4ag), the E = Corolla, 8 = the fifth generation, and the 6 = the variation within this car's generation.  The car has been a thing of beauty for years, and now once again, it has crept into the back of my mind, and it's begging me to purchase one.  I've recently found one in the Bronx, NY, however I can't justify spending $9,500 on a car older than 25 years?  The original price on these cars back in 1985 was $11,500.00 fully loaded.  Why 9,500 for this one?  Well I guess the 20 valve 4ag engine makes a big difference, and adding a turbo, will give it that killer instinct.  However, I still can't justify it.  So I'll continue to look for one.  Honestly, it's insane of me too look for something like this right now.  However you know what they say.  It's nice to touch and it's nice to hold, but once it's broken it's considered sold.  I don't know what it means...I'm losing it.

Well, I'm going to say it again, I've been tire for the last week now.  It's taking it's toll, this job.  I kinda need something different in my life, cause right now work is becoming a struggle.  The stress of getting everything done on time, and making everyone happy is hurting, but I know I got a job, and I'm making the money I need too, for now.

So as of the rest of this blog, enjoy the video, and pics of one of the most beautiful cars I have ever laid eyes on.

Douchebags

You know what grinds my gears?  Douchebag people that speak so loud cause they think they are awesome.  Take this guy for instance.  Since I'm just getting finished work and I'm meeting up with a friend tonight.  I decided to go to a lovely Starbucks and wait for my friend to get off.  So as I sit down with my Americano, and began going through the normality of just sitting here getting prepared all my work progress, such as emails, Facebook (it's work to me), legal docs, and whatever else I have, I hear the guy speak loud enough to his friend, "Oh I don't want to be like those assholes that wear suits. What does my work have to deal with the way that I dress? I'll wear a shirt and tie and all...but, it's stupid."  As I looked down and noticed to myself, hmm...I just got done work, and I'm in a suit.  People if you know me, there are things about me that is just weird.  Whether I'm considered an old soul or what.  I love my suits.  Nothing fits me better than it.  They look nice, you're professional, and well it makes you feel good.  Pairing it with perfect shoes, cuff links, shirt, and tie.  Well you got an ensemble of perfection.

Second thing you should know about me.  I'm not confrontational.  Not to the 10th degree.  I usually let stuff go.  However, if you say something derogatory to either me, my family, or my friends.  I will get pissed off, I will want to kill you.  And I will attempt to break every bone in your body.  I'm a very nice gentleman.  But people that piss me off, piss me off.  I hate it, and I hate ignorant people.  So as my blood boils and I stare this bald motherfucker down, I keep telling myself.  Is it really worth it to get into a fight?  Probably not, but enough to make his shut the fuck up?  Yes definitely.  All I can do is give Mr. Jackass the ice cold glare that I've been come to known to have.  Leave, jerkoff leave.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system.  Lets try and continue on to a better and happier subject.  So my friend Dave has began his webpage.  The Beerasaurus.  It looks amazing, and I'm glad he has it up and running.  I'm really proud of him.  And this gets me one step closer to cross out another thing on my bucket list.  I can't wait to guest blog/write on his webpage.  It's going to be amazing.  Dave is a genius, and what's more, he has gotten everyone involved.  I love the kid.  If you want to check out his site, here it is. http://thebeerasaurus.com/  It's pretty legendary.

Well everyone, it's the weekend.  You should be doing something extraordinary and fun.  Live life people, that's what today should be about.  As for me unfortunately, I'll be working my butt off, with a little playing in between.  Mom's birthday, and Wei T. and Tina home.  Gonna be fun.  Should be.  Well that's all for today folks, have an awesome weekend, and stay posted.
