If you down with the SD originators...

At these dancing clowns trying to jack move SK8MAFIA. PSSSH.

No love for you biters.

We've grown...

Went to church today with Rod, Lee, Deven, and Fall. We also hit up On Broadway last night for Fallon's 25th bday.

We were taking pictures and all that and I just found it interesting how much we've grown as people. As days go by, as do years, people grow wiser.

Just comparing the pictures from 4 years ago to last night, I could see how I have grown and how Fallon has grown. I still remember when she first turned 21. 

But you know what though, it's not about her and I, but it's about everyone else also. If you choose to grow wiser it's all a blessing of grace from God. 

Going to church today with Fall was pretty cool. We both were saved by God on different times for our own reasons. But I find it awesome that we both have found that closer relationship with God. Not very many people have that and it's super awesome that Fallon has that close relationship with God. She understands that it isn't a religion, it's a relationship.

Happy Birthday again Fall! Good times!

And NO! Nothing is going on between her and I. We're just good friends who have grown in our own ways. I just think that it's cool that we're still friends and we've experienced change between one another.

Happy Birthday Fallon!!!

To my good friend Fallon, Happy 25th Birthday!

Jeez I remember the first time I met you at Metro One. I was so sprung off of you. LOL. Next thing you know I find out your best friend's with Lee and then everything took off from there. Oh God, those were the days.

I ain't going to lie, I had a lot of fun trying to pursue you back then. Too bad things didn't work out but hey, we have a great friendship and we're both saved by Jesus now.

God Bless Fall! Hope you have a great one! See you later on tonight! Woot!

The year was 1997...

Fall 1997 that is. My junior year of high school. I can still remember how punk rock changed my life and I fell in love with Blink. Don't get me wrong, I was bumpin' them with their classic album Chesire Cat before Dude Ranch. Word to Carousel and M+M's. But "Dammit" was a revolutionary song for me. Gerry and I were rockin' Hurley before it blew up. Little did anyone know that they originated from Billabong. But the "Dammit" era brought me into my white boy phase when I was still finding myself as a teeny bopper. Only fitting that I went to Bonita at the time as well since all the other schools thought we were white washed kids. Oh well, who's jockin' our style now?

But I dedicate this song to those that rocked on with us. Here's to my dudes who went to Bonita that went through this phase. It was 91X for days back then. Old School Blink! Do the damn thang!

Now we up in the big leagues!

After two hard years of bowling and practice The Smokin' Bowls are officially in the Wednesday night league and representing to the fullest. Gabe and I have had this dream about finally bowling in the Wednesday night league at the base which is probably one of the most toughest leagues in the county. It's also a money league. We have the opportunity to take home close to $260 each at the end of the league which is in May if we can win up to 80 games this season. It's going to be a tough road and a great experience.

I'm really glad that we're finally in it. After 4 D-League type of leagues we're ready to move up and play with the Uncles and Aunties. Be on the lookout every Wednesday night at 32nd for The Smokin' Bowls! EXPLOSION!!!

Good evening mate!

I'm in the writing mood right now.

Can't really sleep and I spent most of my day taking naps and watching some movies. I watched a movie called Smart People today with Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ellen Page. I have to admit, a very entertaining movie. I'm a very big fan of indie films and Miramax continues to stay on the right path of releasing good independent films.

The plot of the movie pretty much involves Dennis Quaid as some self serving Professor at a university who has a stick up his ass. He has a dysfunctional family: the eldest son goes to the same university he teaches at and is hooking up with an asian chick that's in the same board as him. Ellen Page is his daughter who's also self absorbed and is all about over-achieving. Then there's his free loading brother who comes along to make the family more dysfunctional then it already is.

The entire family is so caught up with their own personal issues that they live a life of unhappiness. Sarah Jessica Parker steps in as a doctor who was formally a student of Dennis Quaid and they end up hooking up. She pretty much helps him find himself and to redirect his life in doing things that make him happy. Coupled with some interesting dry comedy I absolutely loved the movie. It was hilarious. It also makes you think how people plan their lives so accordingly to their rules that they forget to be happy and live life for itself.

I definitely recommend it if you're into indie flicks with known actors.

See, I'm not that boring of a person...

Aiight, after laying in bed for most of the day watching tennis and high school football and drafting for my Niketalk SD Fantasy Football league, I decided to get some bowling practice in with my partner in crime Gabe. I get off my bummy ass at around 4:30pm and shower up and get g'd up from the feet up. Have a quick dinner with my mom and dad at the pad since my sister and bodizzl are still up in the bay.

As I'm rolling my bowling balls up to the truck Gabe calls me and tells that Kim's sister is going to be rolling with us. LOL. Funny, because just before leaving I was thinking it would be funny if Kim would have just randomly hung out with us to go bowling. I haven't seen her in a minute and I thought it would just be cool. But since it's her sister it'll do. She's married by the way so I had no intention of trying to holler so whatever.

We all meet up at Gabe and Ghale's and peace out to our home field. Admiral Robinson's. Yeah, you know it. Our bowling stomping ground and home court.

It just so happened that Gabe had his Jabbawockeez mask in the rider so I decided to be a fool and put it on since I was sitting shotty. Rolling on through the mile of cars in NC a bunch of peeps were all staring at me. There was this Filipino lady who was saw me at the stop light acting a fool and dancing in the ride with the mask on. I stopped and waived at her and gave her a thumbs up. She laughed and smiled back and gave me a thumbs up back. I'm such a joker.

We finally get to 32nd and we see our good friend Fredo, Fred's cousin, working. Dude's the homie from when I used to chill at E3 during those tailgating days but fuck that. We talk about selling our season tickets and just making loot. I guess we're both over the Chargers. Shit is tired son. We get our lanes and set up for practice. Of course when me and Gabe are bowling together for practice we always have to do something stupid to be attention whores.

So during the first game I caught Gabe simpin' out. Ghale asked him to tie her shoes and I told him I was going to take a picture of it and blog about it. So ha! Got you fucker!

I'm just playing. I ain't going to lie. If I was in love with a lady I'd probably simp out and do the same thing too. Chivalry is dead these days and you gotta commend the dudes who put their pride down for their lady. Respect.

The first two games get pretty competitive between me and Gabe and we decide on a bowl off for the third game. We put teams together and I get partnered up with Kim's sister Tina. She's cool. The eerie thing is she reminds me so much of Kim looks wise but she's got a spunkier personality. Weird yo. But I guess I was talking too much crap to her during the first two games so I probably came off as a jerk. Which probably explains why she kept referring to me as "guy." LOL.

Tina does her part and handles Ghale while Gabe pretty much man handles me. Dude, I swear I hit the pocket everytime and I get stuck with splits. How do you get 5 frames with splits? Heart wrenching. So me and Tina took the L. We all pack up and head back to Gabe and Ghale's before rolling out to my favorite spot. U-31 on Sundays for my favorite Reggae DJ crew in SD! Tribe of Kings Soundsystem!!!! Dudes always spin the dopest Roots Reggae and Lover's Rock. Love it!

Before rollin' out Gabe and I kill some time playing some Madden 09. I destroy him the first game with the Browns. Then we have a nail biter between the Niners and Bengals. Damn you Ocho Cinco! Dude just cannot be stopped. Of course I'm using the Niners because I'm a closet Niners fan from when I was a little kid. Pull off the game winning interception with Patrick Willis and seal the game. We get done playing and Ghale has already put her son Jeremy, to sleep. Unfortunately Rod and Lee couldn't roll with us. They should have rolled but it's all good.

Time for us to roll out. So we get there and right as we're rolling up some black dude gets thrown out for trying to start a fight inside. Kinda weird. I mean it's reggae music and it's suppose to be peaceful. Unfortunately there's always one idiot trying to trip. Oh well, that didn't ruin our fun. So after the commotion and the dude bounces, we head in for some drinks and good ass music.

I'm at the bar ordering my trademark drank, Corona and *secret*. Then out of nowhere I feel someone rubbing my back. I'm like WTF? I turn around and I see a dude. I give him the hardest stoneface ever but then he turns around and points to a group of girls and I see these ladies.

Fucking Gwen! I knew she was the one rubbing my back. Good one.

We all anti-up and get our drinks and just chill out. We all talk. Drink. People watch. While my weirdo ass is dancing by myself to the reggae. I dunno, there's just something about reggae that when it bumps I just start dancing and not give a fuck. Shit is mad ill to listen to and relax or just dance to. That's me though.

The night goes on and we all plan to bounce out. Gwen, Elle, and Emma head their separate ways as we do ours. We get back to Gabe's rider and I'm drunk like a fool so I decide to grab his Jabbawockeez mask again and ask him to take a picture of me smoking a cigarette with the mask on. I'm such a tool.

After that random act of foolery, we go on a mission to find Ghale a place to take a piss. We went like everywhere. From Walgreens to Shell to an Arco. They finally just end up going to some other spot to take a piss while I waited in the rider.

We head back down to The NC and try to see if we could still make it to In and Out. Unfortunately we didn't make it on time and we decide to just hit up the Denny's. I guess Denny's has this new late night rock menu promotion that they're doing. I can't believe I spent $12 dollars on one meal. I guess when you're faded you just don't care what you're wasting you're money on.

That probably explains why I don't go out much to drink and act a fool. ONLY ON SPECIAL OCCASSIONS and some holidays. We end up eating up and tiring ourselves out talking about how Gabe and Ghale met and also how some raunchy old auntie kept staring at me. Yuck! But yeah, good times. I had a lot of fun. Long and tiring but I actually had fun. As long as I galavant around the town on occasion I'll be good. I just get so over spots so quickly if I make going out consistent. It's not for me. I'm over that shit. I'll just chill and surround myself with good people. Here's to a laid back yet fun Sunday for Labor day weekend 08.

Peace God.
