Two Sides Of The Spectrum

March 12, 2012

I was 18 when I had my fist strip club experience. It seems to be the right of passage at that age since alcohol was a little out of our reach, but nothing like supplementing booze in the form mammaries. I remember sitting near the center stage and surprisingly just laughing as I saw these monstrosities of women strutting their tooshies to 2pac and old Slayer hits. I don’t know what the hell was going on (and maybe it’s cause I only had a couple of pubes on my chest at the time) but I thought all these “ladies” were well in the 40’s. I am not trying to give my milk money to my mom’s friends so they can put it towards little Cindy’s college tuition fund! I want to see some young ass!

12 years later and oh how the tides have changed. Swap out the renegade moms and throw in the renegade daughters. Swap out the young teenager and throw in the 30 year old corporate goomba. I found out Friday night that I am as heterosexual as they come (or cum). Almost every stripper in there looked good to me and I had to tell myself time after time as her boobs flopped on my face that she only likes me for my money. Thanks Raquel for taking me for a hundred! Bitch!

My cousin and his fiancé were in town from Kentucky in hopes of progressing on their wedding. By the end of it, she came back with a dress and we came back with a belly full of beer and a greater knowledge that a group of straight men at the mall is pretty much pointless. The wonder wives beat their husbands now.

From strippers to wedding planning to a new born baby. This Sunday, I was blessed with being granted the title of uncle for the second time in my life with my nephew Ethan “the Hawk” Fong. Thanks to my brother for all the heavy lifting when it comes to kids in my family. I honestly don’t know how you parents do it.

Rebel SK8

March 5, 2012

After parading at some bars on Broadway St this past Friday, I was pretty eager to get home to this beauty of a skateboard. This is probably the start of Rebel 8‘s full launch into the skateboard market. I actually didn’t even see this one coming since I had my eye on the zinger deck. Rebel 8 continues to destroy!

Straight from the horses mouth: “The shape is based on two of my favorite decks of all time, the Aaron “Fingers” Murray model and the Web model, both from Dogtown Skateboards circa 1985. The graphic is also a homage to my favorite Dogtown decks from that era.” -Mike Giant. Get it now before they sell out.

Get At Me Dog

February 21, 2012

I am no Yelper. Actually I despise most of them and would love to be the bounty hunter to hunt these elitist assholes down that actually think their short lived life of an opinion on earth really matters. I’ve read them all. “Service was great, food was exquisite BUT the walls were yellow and it totally throws off their feng shui. One star!” They never make sense nor do they pass any kind of logical judgement that gives any insight to others that may want to come. Do you want my one time professional advice on a new joint on the block? Listen close then.

This is Holy Dog. First time visit to this fairly cheap wiener spot and lord only knows how I love to stick these inanimate objects in my mouth. Entering the complex, people would notice the lack of chairs which presumes this is some sort of take out spot. Not the case.

Above the raptures, where the cold air can’t seep in, are an abundant amount of chairs for anyone. Plus the employers were able to deliver our food to us.

My first meal ever here and I went for the tasty Katsu Dog. Exactly what it sounds. Light batter dog with melted cheese, banana peppers and topped with spicy ketchup with a chase of ice cold Sapporo on tap. The key word here as to be texture. At times you forget hot dogs aren’t supposed to be crunchy and then you realize that is the reason why this tastes so awesome. Add that all up, and you have a meal worth less then $8 (the beer was a $1.50!)

Take it from me. I am a cheap, less unfortunate soul that loves to spend money on nothing given the chance. That is how this place should be looked at. Don’t chalk this up as your next family adventure nor should you take some sort of pride in paying the tab here on date night. If you get some sort of urge to get drunk and stuffed on a dollars budget, come to Holy Dog. What they lack in flare ultimately benefits you in your wallet, and that is something we can all be happy about.

Missed the “Like A Tattoo” blog series I had with the tattoos on my arm? I think the season finale should be coming to an end soon in the next couple of months.

Criminal Minded

February 7, 2012

This was on Friday. The sun is out, the Bay is beautiful and it’s only the afternoon before things really get out of hand later in the evening. This should have been my red flag. You can undoubtedly know that things will never turn out perfect from here on then and if I would have known, I would have just gone home.

I can’t merit this day in ruining my whole weekend. After all, Super Bowl Sunday was as good as it can gets and hey, I had sex with my girlfriend Saturday. I guess if there is one word I wanted to use, it’s just disappointed. The whole point in seeing a free KRS-ONE concert on Friday is…to see KRS-ONE!

I have no idea why I would assume this mother fucker would start performing on time. Cardinal rule at rap concerts, MCs love to come fashionably late. Not like he should give any disregard to the public transporters (yeah, so what…I don’t have a car), but my ass had to get on the last train home at midnight.

I probably missed a good one. It had all the ingredients of a good show. The bar was accessable, the DJ was solid, no one was hardly there and they didn’t even care about my camera with my pocketed lens. Eh…what are you going to do. I am batting zero in concerts for the year, but hopefully I can get back in the game.

The guys’s at Clinkroom are destroying my brain and injecting wonderful illustrative ideas in my head. Forgery is flattering but I literally have cheat when I can.

Unfortunately not all of it is translating on paper…but this is step one out of a fifty. Just crazy how I am not even trying and yet, this supposedly goat is turning into a tiger, dog and a deer right before my eyes. It need about seven different renditions total and I haven’t even touched the type treatment. I hate my snails pace work progression but hopefully we can make this project happen.

Want more motivation? I am sure most of you have heard the news with David Choe. I want to say this is a prime example of a man at the right place at the right time but David Choe deserves everything he gets. Further proves that doing what you love to do can seek riches when you least expect it (and I am not even talking about money). Choe’s art has brought him to all places of the earth and this Facebook IPO cashout is just a small piece to his success. I am flabbergasted. I literally almost hate the guy and to matters worse, he was on Howard Stern today. Argh!
