Censorship
Jimmy Kimmel Live has become one of my favorite late night talk shows. It's the same format as all the other ones, but JK seems a bit more raw than the others. Anyway, He has a quick segment where he shows TV clips and *Bleeps* and *Blurs* unnecessary parts. It's really funny. Here is the LOST edition:
iPad - Mania!!
It's true! This thing is all the craze right now. Don't believe me or the news reports, or the blogs about it? Have you been the Apple Store lately? People are still LITERALLY lining up to try out the iPad's that are displayed on the tables. It's funny to see grown ass people wait in line to play with an oversized iTouch. Im not bagging on the product because, in all honesty, I HELLSA WANT ONE! But, really though people! 2-4 mins on the iPad and give someone else a turn. It's like seeing kids fight over a gameboy or something. Unluckily for me, I have had a couple chances to play with the iPad outside the Apple Store. And no, an apple employee didn't drop one at a bar.
My review? I freaking love it. It really has no practical purpose but to entertain and show people that you have one. If you have an iPad, you are like the kid going to elementary school with a tub of Red Vines...EVERYONE is your friend. haha. Seriously, after all the apps and the HD quality and stuff, I think it would be a good product for me to purchase. That way, after shooting video gigs or photo gigs, I have a good piece of equipment to show my work on. So, in that sense, it has a purpose.

Minimalism at its Best!
My friend Matt posted this on SJF forum. I think Andrew would appreciate this the most, since he has the green/minimalist mentality.

This Red Bull Mini Velodrome looks fun and dangerous. To the lady that took a spill? Hats off to you.
ABDC OG's
I am not a big fan of ABDC since the first season, so I am not all up on that hype. However, I am a big fan of Jabbawockeez, and here is there performance from the Charity episode of ABDC.
Not sure how long this video will be posted since Mtv takes down a lot of there stuff if it's not on the Mtv site. Enjoy.

Got My Legs Back...Sorta
About 2 months ago I built a new bike.
Something to take on the nasty terrain of San Jose. It's not so nasty out here, but very very bumpy haha. It felt nice, fast, compact and able to pull tricks (if i practiced enough). After a few weeks of riding it, I noticed my right knee was starting to hurt. I didn't pay it any mind, so kept riding. Then after another week, I noticed my knee really starting to give me heat. When I would go to work it was hard to walk up the stairs and what not. I decided to lay off the bike and consult with my buddy Jero. Jero is a Sports Therapist so I knew, if anyone knew what was going wrong, it was him. It's really hard to get our schedules together so, my professional consultation was done through text. I told him, my right knee was aching and there was a slight "clicking" sound when I bent it. Right away, he hit me back with "Dude, you might have Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome". What The SUC!!! Pattelofem-wha? Good ol' google told me that it "can be defined as retropatellar or peripatellar pain resulting from physical and biochemical changes in the patellofemoral joint." Again, WHA!? Jero also hit me with "make sure you ice your knee and do stretches that will work the butt and thigh". After another week of being scared to ever ride a bike again, I decided to go to the doctor and get the official word. Not that I didn't trust the words of Jero, but I needed to see a doctor anyway. 20mins in the waiting room and 85$ (high deductible) later, the attending doctor told me "You have Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome", and handed me a purple piece of paper with stretches I already knew about. WHAT!!!!!! I paid 85 smackaroos for THIS! Whatever, for the piece of mind, I guess it was worth it. So, 2 weeks of nightly stretching and icing, my knee feels better. I am back on the bike and feeling good. I don't fully blame the new bike I built (which has now been parted out and sold to others), but I'm sure it played a part. The bike was too small for me, and the parts were not to my spec. Oh well, lesson learned.
After work now, I usually saddle up and head downtown. It's only a 12+mile round trip to iMD, but its a good gateway route/mileage to get me back to 100%.
Today, I did my ride and I felt great! The wind thru my helmet, tunes arockin', all good. Stopped by iMD chilled with the family and had a burrito.
After the La Vics, Matt and I went to Ryan's pad to chill for a bit before TNR. More of the SJFAM, JP, and Andrew were there kickin' it. Then we all took a small ride to the TNR meet up. Mike met up at the San Jose Giants stadium so him and I could ride back to the south side together. Andrew decided to tag along so we were off.
We stopped by Mike's old house so he could pick up some mail, and I decided to invite the dudes over to see Meghan and my new place.
After they took off, I turned my machine on and decided to blog this whole slab of boring stuff.

Sweet zip up hoodie Meghan bought me. It is from her unit at the hospital. I'll wear it proudly!
Pano of the newly remodeled house I grew up in. My dad is in there twice. haha
Been bowling a lot with the iMD family. My score sucks, but I'm getting better, so watch out!

Success!!! Thanks to my awesome Mom and Dad (and a little help from Cache Creek), I was able to get a new (and REALLY IMPROVED) hard drive for my machine. My old HD had 120 gb, this new one has 500gb!! The downside to all of this, is that my previous HD might be dust and might not be able to pull any data off of it. I hope to send it in to a recovery place and get some things. If not?! have to start er' from scratch! Anyhow, I'm stoked to be back online and doing the darn thang. Lesson learned...I'll be backing up EVERYTHING NOW!!

"Be like water my friend"
So, one of my idols, since I was a kid, is Bruce Lee. I have all his movies on VHS, his book Tao of Jeet Kune Do and even the movie made about him "Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story". My friend Jeremy and I were talking about a particular video of him. It is a video of his audition for the Green Hornet.
Besides his philosophy, quick moves and dope suit, I really like that the audition is on a set. haha

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"
This weekend proved to be eventful as well as inspirational. Got a chance to work on a music video with some friends. My good friend Peter called me asking if I wanted to help out, and of course I said yes. I'll jump on any opportunity to get back on set and work on projects.
Not sure what I can say about this project, but here are a couple snaps

Being on set again, made me realize how much I miss it. Also how much I love making art. Making Major Moves in 2010, so look out for me.

Today I did more Christmas shopping and I'm about 85% done. After a few hours of dodging people at the mall, I had dinner at Blue Mango.

Throwback!!
So, that's it!! My best friend left for the BIG APPLE yesterday. Needless to say I'm going to miss that dude, but it's good. As soon as he is settled in, I'm on the first thing smoking. Good luck out there XiAN! Kick some ass!!
The night before he left, he called me asking for some help packing, and being the good dude that I am, of course I obliged. Went to his crib with my 15mm and helped him pack his Volume Cutter. He had all his belongings sprawled out on the driveway like he was having a garage sale. I am a huge garage sale connoisseur, so I had my eyes peeled for something I could have. Guess what I found...
*click to enlarge image
AHAHA...believe it!! XiAN gave me his Talkboy Deluxe. SUPER SCORE! I have yet to throw some batteries in this thing to see if it works. If it does not? That's cool too, it'll look fresh in my cubicle at work (ahhh, the corporate life). Thanks XiAN, see you soon.
About a week prior, I bought these Specialized gloves from iMD and they function really well. They offer a comfy fit, they breath well, and you can still function with them on (i.e dial a number on your phone, open aluminum cans, etc).
Grab em'!!
