Skrillex

Wow the last time I blogged was in October, which was also about the last time I worked out.  Yesterday I finally went to the gym, and today I'm blogging again! Wooohoo!  What a two month funk, I'm gonna chalk this one up to winter hibernation.

Don't you love it when you're expectations get blown away?  Yesterday I went to go see Skrillex and the Roseland and my mind was blown.  It was so fun raging to dubstep, my buddies going to Wobbleland are in for an epic night. 

I was skeptical at first about this event, cus it was all ages, small venue, and Skrillex only had a 1 hour set at the end.  I wasn't sure how big dubstep was in Portland, but the place was packed! 

DJ Craze was so good, he's a 5 time DJ World Champion and he's ridiculously versatile.  He played everything: hip hop, OG rap, dub step, DnB, house, and his specialty Miami bass.  True master at the turntables man.  I'm so glad I got to see this guy, I didn't even know who he was.  He definitely made up for the fact that they only had 1 hour sets. 



Skrillex was a blast.  The day before, I just stayed up till 5am blasting his music.  It just makes it so much better when you know the songs for the event.  He started off with "Rock N' Roll" and it was mayhem from then on.   The cool part was it was his birthday! 

The "Little Gremlin" as Deadmau5 calls him haha

10 minutes left, they bring out a cake with 20 something candles, and we all sing happy birthday to him.  He holds a balloon over it and it pops, blowing out all the candles.  Over the mic: "Portland you guys are awesome! I'm gonna play a song that nobody's heard before!!"  *YAHH!!* Over the mic: "and heres the drop!" BoOM WOOBWOBWOB.  Skrillex grabs the cake, and tosses it into the crowd.  People go apeshit.  He steps up to the edge of the stage and dives into the crowd.

4 minutes left, he ends with his remix of La Roux - In For the Kill.  I can't believe this ends at 1am lameee.  We chant "1 more song!". They promoter gets him to come out, but they already cut the power and everything.  That just made us chant harder.  The mic comes on again :"sorry guys, they cut my controls, I can't do anything. the cops are waiting outside".  But Skrillex aka Sonny Moore was a leadsinger for his Screamo band so he just belts out over the mic "HEY SEXY LADAYY"  crowd goes wild, the controls kick back in, and his remix of Hey Sexy Lady drops with perfect timing.  Ahhh it was crazy.  My neck hurts from headbanging now haha.

Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, TV shows

Besides being obsessed with my phone, I got hooked on something else.  I got addicted to a show about Meth.  I remember my buddy Henry trying to get me to watch Breaking Bad way back in January and I just shrugged it off.  "meh, its not for me" "i'm more of a comedy kind of guy"  "fuh-gettabout-it" 

I haven't gotten into hit shows like '24', 'Prison Break' or 'Lost' because I like my shows short and hilarious.  But I'm pretty sure if I saw the first episode of each of those shows, I'd get sucked in just as easily as I did with Breaking Bad.  I started watching it last Sunday, and a week later I finished the 3 seasons.  Here's how you know when you got it bad:

1. You get emotionally attached with the characters and you get angry at them, swearing and calling them out by name, even when you're the only one watching it.  "WTF WALT, YOU IDIOT" "YESSSS KILL THAT MFER! POW!POW!"
2. You don't even notice the sun has set, and you have to pry yourself out of the butt-crevice you formed when the sun starts to come out again.  
3. You just finished the last episode, and you just need more content.  So you scour the internet.  IMDB to read the random trivia.  Wikipedia to learn all about the characters and actors.  Youtube to watch actor interviews, and award speeches.  

Man Bryan Cranston surprised me in this series.  He deserves his 3-Peat Emmy wins.  His character goes through so many changes and he portrays it perfectly.  And he's a completely different person in real life too!  Funny Jimmy Kimmel interview:

It's sad I need to wait another year to watch the next season, but good thing the TV season is starting up again!  Shows I'm looking forward to: HIMYM, Modern Family, Community, Two and a Half Men.  ahh.... my comedy fix

PS: hahahaha i just got finished watching his interview with Craig Fergusen they're crazy funny hahaha

Free* Tickets to Natasha Leggero

I just came back from my first comedy club experience and it was great!  It was awesome because I got free tickets from www.pdxpipeline.com, and I can't remember the last time I got free anything.  I swear i just signed up, entered the drawing, got an email saying I won, and went to see the show...all in one day.  That was just rad in itself.  Plus, the site founder's last name is Chunlick.  That's a shiny gold star in my book.

*now I put the asterisk here because when I sat down I noticed the menu saying 2 item minimum purchase.  Grrr... If I hadn't gotten free tickets I woulda felt robbed.


Before I went to the show, I checked out Natasha's youtube clips and they were just awfully unfunny.  But her stand up set turned out to be hilarious.  Okay it maybe because I was forced to get two beers, but she was adorably funny.  She interacted with the audience a lot (especially the 3 single guys up front) and had this dance competition with two ladies from the crowd.  Lot's of silly fun.  The guy that opened for her was trying too hard, and the crowd wasn't having it.  He even fell on the floor on purpose and got like 3 claps (oh boy). I think it was a ploy to make Natasha seem even more funny in comparison.

But the host Ian Karmel was the funniest in my opinion.   Man that guy got things going.  He's one of those hilarious "heavyset" comics that make you laugh extra hard.  I don't know why it is, but when fat comicedians lose weight, they seem to lose a bit of their funny.  (see Seth Rogan, Drew Carey)

 Damn, Seth's lookin' good.  But he looks more like he'll be on CSI than in a Judd Apatow movie.

Ok, I never thought Drew Carey was funny, but look at all that weight he's lost!

oh man, I also found out that Bill Burr (He's my favorite comic at the moment, thanks Alex) is going to be at Helium Comedy Club Aug 19-21! that's when I'll be in Cali.  But it's all good, cus I'm gonna be in Cali!

Babble Blah Blurb

A little Housecleaning
1st and foremost, nobody guessed it right last post!  Some of you came awfully close (gj Stef, Tiana) but no Cigar.  The real list goes like this:

1. Alex
2. Andy
3. Henry? haha, what a mysterious guy


And.. to get the yelp style clickamajiggers, you go to layout and click 'edit' in the 'blog post' box.  Cool!


Money buys Happiness
Sure does.  I just bought me a PS3, baby.  Now I can stay up late playing MW2 with my PS3 buddies (add me: LickWick).  At first I was pretty hesitant about buying one, because I'd have to get a TV too.  But then I was asking my uncle where he got his 42", and he was like don't go out and buy one just use mine I barely use it.  :)  It's great because now I can watch my 2.5Men, and stream stuff off of SurftheChannel.com on a big screen.

In other news... the Sega Zone...?

NUMBER ONE!
So few months back, I started my first NBA fantasy league and as of this week guess who's number one?

Yep, me! But unfortunately and stupidly, I forgot to set my lineup on Monday and benched 3 very good players *sigh* I might pretty much just gave away my #1 spot already.  I'm also beginning to wonder if it's luck or my unhealthy love for data, because i'm sure as hell it's not my knowledge of basketball.

Themed Weekend: TV Land, SantaCon!

Yea I've been kind of having online withdrawal these couple of days, so I am way behind on this.  But I want to recap, so lets rewind *whiirr*

TV Land Partay
When I read the description, I was like crap.  I never watched TV Land or Nick at Nite (Cable-free since '83! ... actually '86 but it doesn't rhyme).  But Andy showed me this episode of Married with Children about the NO MA'AM (National Organization of Men Against Amazonion Masterhood) group, and it was hilarious!  So we went out and made our own NO MA'AM T-shirts.  It took us like at least half an hour a shirt (That's why women do the ironing!).   Only a couple of people recognized the shirt, and one guy even wanted us to make one for him.  But for the most part, we were pretty much frowned upon lol.  Heh it was pretty fun being lewd crude men for a night though. (Where a buck's enough to see their stuff.... At the Nudie Bar!)


I was most impressed with Alex's Fonz with the hair and the switchblade comb haha it was genius.  The party was really fun, there was Fonz #2 (haha sorry Alex was #1), Quailman+Dog, and Lucy and Ricky (These two were my favorite costumes).  Everyone was digging the N64 with the nostalgic MarioKart and GoldenEye (0 kills 43892 deaths I suck azz).  We were all playing until a few of us got too drunk, knocking over the N64 like 3 times in a row (it was then 4 o clock!)

I remember we went out to Beauty Bar for drinks (damned Bruno's for cover).  Scariest part was when I walked by Lexington (lesbian bar) with the NO MA'AM T-shirt in clear view!  I didn't even realize until I was right in front, and I suddenly remembered, so I quickly used Henry as a visual shield so I wouldn't get beat up.

Santacon
I never heard about this before, but I was amazed at how many fully-dressed Santas there were!  We were all pretty drained from the prior night, so we didn't make it to the day events.  It's too bad because it looked like a lot of fun.  But we heard that Bootie was holding an afterparty, which I'm always down for.  Next time I'll dress up more for sure! Because Alex, Tiana and Paula were in full costumes and it looked way fun (and they got in for free!).  Haha Paula was golden with her Hannukah Bush costume.  She was so popular that night!   Funniest part of the night was when she slapped some guy's ass while he was in the middle of a little somethin' somethin' with his lady elf.  2nd funniest part? Finding Alex asleep upstairs on the railing.  Poor guy.

Fun Random Night

I hope you had the time of your life

That was the song that I last heard from Andy's car (reminder: get Andy's CD), and we were karaoke-ing the hell out of it.  It also wasn't the only song that we karaoke'd.  We sang a crap load of songs throughout tonight.  Man today was a regular day that turned out to be one of the funnest random days I've had.  I wouldn't say it was the time of my life, but it was pretty damned awesome.  And I'm sure Andy, Gary, Henry and Kevin can vouch for this haha.


Mundane Morning
Morning for me these days is pretty much after 12PM haha so bad.  I was planning on going to this WIA orientation at one of the EDD One Stop Centers to find out more about government subsidized training, but... I arrived late.  Poo.  When I got to the area (that Market, Mission area that confused the hell out of me) I hella couldn't find the place.  So even if I had skipped my "morning" shower, I probably wouldn't have made it.  Oh well.  Henry got off early, and Gary took the day off and it was a sunny day so I wasn't really kicking myself.  We ended up playing Altered Beast and River City Ransom at my place, fun!

Four o' Clock Fro-yo

It was a pretty warm day for Autumn so we met up with Mel for fro-yo at Lakeshore Plaza.  Something like Nuubi Fro-Yo? I think it was new.  It was selfserve and I went way overboard on mine.  There were like 12 flavors! So I just went crazy.  I had 5 different flavors and 5 different toppings.  Total cost? $4.49  oops.  Next time I gotta control myself.

Spontaneous, Ambitious, Delicious
Hmm.. that spells SAD.  Which is what we would have been if everything didn't fall into place like it did tonight! (heh maybe)  So at Lakeshore, Henry get's the ambition to be spontaneous and buys a set of Boxing Gloves and Mitts too (relevance).  Here's when the day started getting fun.

I was originally planning to eat at home, but Andy mention's Chinos and cleverly lures me to eat at Henry's house.  We ate some, played some rockband, and we started boxing!  I had brought my gloves too, so now we had two sets.  Perfect for some light sparring.  This is what lured Kevin to Henry's house haha.  It was a lot of fun sparring with each other.  We got to test our own fighting skills (since training mitts don't really do that) and just randomly fought each other.  I felt so uncoordinated in a sparring match! And it's actually pretty hard to get a good hit on the other guy.  I think I fought Gary and Henry, and man when you get hit in the gut you feel it.  But the gloves give good enough protection to not do any lasting damage.  I'm so glad that everyone was so into it! Good investment.


Gary decided to go to Safeway and buy some Wine haha.  So random.  I felt like it turned into a Ladies Night: Men Edition.  Wine and Boxing? Great times!  While we were sipping on the Reisling (quite tasty, sweet and sour, i like!) Gary bought, we watched Man Vs. Food on the Travel channel.  I swear the host is going to die of some heart disease.  A 4 patty hamburger thats got the diameter of your head? That can't be good. 
 
Then this show Meet the Natives came on, and it was actually pretty entertaining and interesting!  It's about 5 tribal natives from an Island in the South Pacific coming over to the US to see what life is like here.  Those guys are so naturally funny, and they're really looking at our world with virgin eyes.  They described a sleeping bag as a "tube" and have never seen a snake (which one of them was terrified of ).  In a way, this show may be exploitive, but I think it's always interesting to see cultures mingle (why travelling is so fun!).  They were exposed to cattle ranchers, New Yorkers, and even "the Orange County people".  Man those people are so superficial it makes us look bad.  The OC'ers explained to the natives that they had a lot of mirrors around the house, because "you always have to make sure you look good in Orange County".  They even brought them to a Botox injection appointment, which was pretty cringe-worthy.

But the most interesting part were the questions that the tribe wanted to be answered during their 5 ambassador's vacation.

1. Why are we so obsessed with money and possessions?
2. Why do we allow pollution even though we know its bad? 
3. Why do we treat our pets better than some of our fellow citizens?
4. Is the United States still a peace keeper? Do we look out for others? 

Very interesting perspectives coming from a tribe that has never been exposed to our kind of society.  It's pretty cool how people exist in a society that is entirely untouched by "modern" technology.  It's also refreshing to see the happiness the guys had living a simpler life. 

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!  So another food program comes on showcasing different unique restaurants around the country, and by now all our mouths are watering.  This one restaurant in LA I think serves only Peanut Butter Sandwiches.  Once we see the Peanut Butter/Marshmallow Fluff sandwich, we start looking at each other.  We're like fuck it, we gotta hit up Safeway again and make us some peanut butter sandwiches haha.  It was SO worth it! and this was when we were all buzzing from the wine.  We picked up bread, Peanut butter, Strawberry Jam, Marshmallow Fluff, Condensed Milk, Nutella, M&M's and Lactose-Free milk (to prevent Andy's lactose farts, which happened anyway).  Haha yea, we went all out on creating many different combinations of PB sandwiches.  I only had room for 1, so I made the PB and Marshmallow.  It was sooo delicious! Really hit the spot.  Some other combinations we made were: Jam and Marshmallow, Jam and Condensed milk, Jam, PB, and Marshmallow, and Andy's famous, PB, M&M's, condensed milk, and Jam.  (need to grab pictures from Henry's camera)


It's Karaoke Time!
Lol for some reason when we got back from Safeway with the sandwich ingredients, we were breaking into song left and right for the next of the night.  It was hilarious and felt great to belt out our favorite ballads.  I think we were buzzed and hyper from all the sugar.  Lol we were so ridiculous.  We also streamed Karaoke from Youtube on Henry's big screen TV.  I swear we never have to hit up a Karaoke place again. We sang 

• Unchained Melody - Oh, My Love, My Darling, I Hunger for your touch
  
• You've Lost that Lovin Feelin - You never close your eyes, anymore when I kiss your lips
  
• I'll Make Love To You - Close your eyes, Make a wish, and blow out the candle lights. 
• Nice and Slow - It's seven o clock on the dot, I'm in my drop top cruisin the streeets
  

Top Gun - You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin

Man it was so awesome, we let it all out with no care in the world!

Gary said it best: "Should this be a Thanksgiving tradition?" aha maybe, maybe not.  But I'm down for more nights like this.  Good clean random ass fun.

Today is Thanksgiving, and I'm thankful for all my friends (you know who you are!)

Sorry for such a long post haha.  I mostly write about events for myself to remember later down the road.  And today was a memorable day.  If you made it to the end, you are awesome!! 

Tiesto Kaleidoscope @ the Cow Palace

What a great show!  It was everything I had expected from all that "Tiesto Training" that I got from Andy for the past two months haha.  When Kaleidoscope came on, I was in awe that I was actually there with the visuals playing in the background.  The only bad part of the show was that it ended so soon!  Tiesto was great! His set seemed seamless and time passed by so quickly.  It would have been awesome if he played till 4AM.  I spent most of the time on the dance floor this time with the lumberjack gals.  I thought it was awesome how they surprised Tiana for her birthday.  She totally thought that she couldn't make it to Tiesto because her buddy Holly (heh) from Oklahoma was in town.  But Holly was in on the whole thing too! 

Oh this time Henry bought these lightshow gloves and I was messing around with them on the dance floor and gave 3 of my friends (forgot who?) a ghetto light show lol.  Andy tells me later that I was actually doing it for 8 people including randoms!  pretty embarassing.

Highlight of the night was definitely seeing Brian and P there having a great time! haha it really made my day.  Wish I had more time to hangout with everyone in the stands.  Oh! and we finally got our Lafayette picture taken (stolen from Steph stolen from Henry):

Lafayette '97!

Chill Out
This time, Gary had a great idea for an afterparty at his house.  He had some spare mattresses in his garage so he just put them on the floor of his room.  They fit perfectly and his entire room was just mattresses (2 fulls 1 twin)  It was perfect and hella comfortable, just what I needed after Tiesto.  We just sat there reminiscing about the night and listening to songs with visualizers on his big screen TV.  Best chillout party.  I think I fell asleep around 7-8.  We had lunch later on at Pho Garden.  That place sucks.  Soup was bland, meat was chewy, noodles were dry.  Its a wonder people complete the pho challenge!

Tetris Attack, I Do Declare!

So ever since I got SNES on the Wii I've been revisiting my favorite game Tetris Attack.  I love it! It's so simple to pick up, but takes a lot of skill to master.  Been playing a lot with Wilton and Angel so far and it's been a lot of fun and I'm looking for more Tetris Attackers out there! (Alex, I'm calling you out)  Also heard from Andy that Melanie plays too, thats pretty awesome.  I wanna play more people to see where I'm at skillwise.  cus I've been watching some youtube vids, and damn.  Makes me look like a banana.

Seriously, are these people robots?!

So last Saturday after the lumberjack party, Gary (facial hair and all) starts talking to me in some southern ass accent like "I do declare" and "it just flows out of your mouth like sweet molasses" "there's been a muhder tonight".  I'm like wtf right?! I'm like hungover as hell and I don't know what to make of the man.  Then yesterday he shows me the clip of The Office where he got it from, friggin hilarious.  I only found a snippet of it on youtube:

Haha, I don't watch The Office much, but the entire episode was great though.. here it is on Hulu.  Watch it when you got free time! it's only 22 minutes

http://www.hulu.com/watch/107052/the-office-murder

Sincerely,
Chun Lick

PS. I'm still tipsy right now. 2 beers buzzed, 3 beers tipsy.

Misc.

Haven't really had a main topic these days, but I got some notables!:

On Tuesday: 
Hung out with Andrew to watch the WSOP Final Table.  It was pretty damned amazing watching 21 year old Joe Cada win it all.  At one point he only had 2million chips with the blinds at 500k/1mill, so he was pretty much hanging by a thread.  In my view, he won this tournament because he was lucky, but congrats to him being a millionaire by 21 wow.

Got introduced to Metric by Anju!  Yea, a lot of people have been talking about them and I actually recognized some songs, but I never consciously listened to the lyrics.  But Cora's cursory analysis, opened my eyes (ears?) haha, i also learned some vocabulary reading that post haha.  Anyways, I shall be getting myself acquainted to Metric these couple of weeks.  (favorites so far: Help I'm Alive, Sick Muse, G G and G)

Wednesday: 
Had Kitaro for lunch with the Gary and went to Ross to pick out some Lumberjack wear for Tiana and Paula's House Partay.  It should be fun! Too bad I didn't grow out the facial hairs for 3 weeks like Halloween.  It's actually much more appropriate for this event! darn.

Accomplished one of my "goals" from way back!  I can now play SNES, NES, GENESIS games directly off of my WII!  I revisited some of my favorite games: Tetris Attack, Zelda: Link to the Past, Super Bomberman 5, and Rivercity Ransom.  Nostalgic funblastastic!

Thursday:
Lazy procrastination's got the best of me.  I gotta stop staying up till 3-4AM! I wanted to go down to Sunnyvale to finish step 2 (verification of UI benefits) and step 3 (talking to career counselor about the PM program), but apparently you have to show up before 10:30AM.  Otherwise they run out of time slots for the counselors.  I pretty much wasted my time and gas today for like 2 minutes to complete step 2 blah.  So.... who thinks I can wake up at 7AM tomorrow? hahaha

Sunnyvale and Warriors

Today, I went down to the NOVA center in Sunnyvale to try to enroll in this Project Management certification program that my cousin told me about.  Apparently, his buddy got laid off not so long ago and went to NOVA for this project management training program which is totally government subsidized. It'll be sweet to get certified for zero money, because I checked out SF State's similar program and it was like 500 bucks a course.  It's usually night and online courses, so during the day he just sits home and plays online poker and makes enough for his $1200 rent!  He also gets to collect unemployment insurance at the same time!  Anyways I'm trying to see if I can enroll in this program too, so I can get a leg up on my management qualifications while I have the free time.   So far it doesn't seem very fruitful, because the place just seems like some job search help center.  Cousin told me it's because they need people to sign up for the job search service to increase their funding for that center.  So they make people jump through hoops to get to the good stuff.  I'll probably go through the process for a week or two and see if it's legit.

Warriors!
I just came back from a Warriors game and they demolished the Timberwolves.  But, I knew they had to win for sure since the wolves suck ballz.  So, I dropped Azubuike from my fantasy league because he wasn't getting consistent minutes like two days ago.  and today, he decides to score 31 points!  Every single shot he made was like a dagger to my heart.  I was so conflicted sitting next to Henry in his Azubuike jersey! I didn't have the heart to tell him I dropped his main man during the 1st quarter.  But I eventually had to tell him, because I had to unload my guilty conscience haha. 

Fitness Fun, Fight Quest and The Fight

K, this one's going to be all about fighting, because I just came back from Gary's house and we were messing around on the Boxing gear that I got from a few posts back.  I'm glad that everyone that I showed them to were really into it, and I'm sure they'll get a lot of use.  Heck Andy, Henry and I were boxing buzzed after we left Supper Club haha, it was funny.  The first thing that comes out of everyone's mouth (including me) was "wow this feels great!"  Haha, I'm sure everyone has wanted to punch something sometime in their life, and it does feel great to let it all out without any consequences of injury.  and the cardio is a nice side effect :)

Fight Quest

I just finished all the episodes (13) of Fight Quest, a show that was on the Discovery Channel.  I don't know why it got canceled, but it's a great show.  The season follows two guys: Doug (Iraq Veteran) and Jimmy (former math teacher and MMA fighter) across the whole world trying their hands in different martial arts.  They pretty much get a 5 day crash course where Masters train the hell out of them, and they end each episode duking it out with a native fighter.  It is really fascinating to learn about all the unique technical and cultural differences between each fighting style.  What I like best is that these guys have such humble attitudes and aren't out to "show up" other styles in their native settings.  They really put their hearts into learning each art, and have a never-give-up attitude.  The fighting is so raw and educational at the same time!  My favorite styles from the show are Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wing Chun, Kajukenbo, and Hapkido.  If you're into MMA, I would definitely recommend this series. 

The Fight 
So the fight is coming up soon during Christmas between me and Dillon.  I don't really care right now what the outcome is, but I'm really happy about the lead up to the fight.  This is because I have never worked out so consistently in my life.  It's always been 2-4 weeks on, 1-2 months off (repeat).  I want to have a fight to look forward to maybe like twice a year haha.  I talked about hundredpushups, twentypullups before, and I'm actually sticking to the 6 week program! Sure it's taken me like 10 weeks to get to week 6, but I'm there now!  I haven't tried maxing out my pushups, but I made my personal best in pullups a couple days ago.. 17! I was stuck at 12 for the longest time, and I really wanted to get up to 20 (so I can get a free Marine's T-shirt at one of their booths haha... maybe when that happens there will be another blog contest for the t-shirt?)  But yea, I feel really good right now and I think by Christmas I should be in the best shape of my life!

Post-Halloween Post

Been on a mini-blog-posting hiatus because life has been hectic, but good hectic.  Now that I finished taking the GRE's I can post again.

(10/29)Drove back from Eugene starting at 10:30PM !! and we got back to sweet ole' San Franciso at 6:30AM (its great to be back).  The drive was a lot more fun with Dillon and David there.  We actually saw the moonset! I don't think I ever noticed the moon setting before and I wish we had a decent camera.  It just sat there on the horizon getting flatter and flatter; kind of like a ball slowly losing air, pretty cool and funny.  There was also this one stretch of road where there were no cars so i just opened the sun roof.  It was pitch black and the stars were amazing, you could almost get lost in them (not trying to be poetic or nothin', it really felt like that!)  Too bad it was dangerous to look at them for more than a second while driving.  Lucky Dillon and David!!

Spookfest EVIL105

Dillon was cookie monster!! I wanted to be cookie monster last year, but didn't know how.. Angel was Quailman, I was Odlaw >:] and David was a Sumo wrestler.  They were all huge hits amongst the peoples but David's was freakin' golden:

It was the first time my cousins have been to an event like this, and they were stoked!  And boy were they in for a big surprise...when we were waiting in line, we witnessed this one girl in leopard print relieving herself IN LINE 3 FEET AWAY FROM US.  I'm sorry they had to see that, and I'm pretty sure that set the tone for them for the rest of the night.  We finally made it in and saw everybody else, it was good to see everyone again and in awesome costumes nonetheless.  Andy and V's Mickey and Mallory was superb! 

Right when we walk into the palace, I just realized that it was pretty much a Rave haha.  So I turn to Dillon and David "uhh.. welcome to your 1st rave?".  Then almost immediately after that, a druggie comes up to David..:"Dude.. you got any pills on you? any Acid?" lol it was gonna be an interesting night for them.
Later on...
Druggie #2 looks at David in his Sumo costume: "Hey man! you got any drugs in there?"
David: "nope"
Druggie#2: "Man, thats too bad.  You coulda fit a shit load of drugs in there" lol
Dillon also tells me he saw some guy freaking out in the bathroom yelling "OMG somethings wrong with my hands"

Yea, it was pretty shocking stuff for them haha, I hope they had a good time.  I'm sure David did.  That sumo costume caught so much attention from girls it was ridiculous.  It would take forever to walk across the place with him, because they all wanted pictures with him.  Dillon on the other hand, attracted much attention from guys haha.  There were these 3 guys that thought he was the DJ from Crystal Method (cus he was also in cookie monster costume) and wanted pictures and autographs from him haha.

Henry was my arch nemesis, Waldo.  He told me that he got pinched in the ass many times.  I, on the other hand, had recognition issues. No one knew who the hell I was! haha I guess I can't blame them, cus I didn't even know of Odlaw until a month ago.  Some funny quotes of the night:

"OmG! you're a bumble-bee too!! :)" umm.. sure?
"Look its BEE MAN!! BEE MAN!!"  I'm not a bee!!!
"You're the most awesome Waldo in this place!" Thanks! Not waldo tho.
"Dude.. so.. are you supposed to be like.. the Asian Waldo?"  -_-'

Finally, someone who gets it :)

Best music of the night was definitely Infected Mushroom.  I saw the cousins get into it rocking out, and saying "yea you were right, they are awesome live."  Then in the car ride back Dillon goes: "To be honest, the music the whole night sounded exactly the same to me" (face-palm).

Oh yea! forgot, favorite costumes we saw:

Isn't that awesome? a group of friends dressing up as Street Fighters, they looked great.
And the next night, I saw this guy in a laundry basket with dirty clothes.  I dono why, but it was my favorite for the night haha. 
But my facebook favorite, or favorite of all time was Szeto's Sriracha. awesome.

The Future and TV Shows... Futurama?

Nope not Futurama, but I just finished watching the first episode of FlashForward and man, I am hooked now.  I tend to stray from dramas because I'm more of a comedy show kind of guy, but I heard good things about FF so I decided to try it out.  It kind of felt like watching Heroes for the first time when it was new and exciting (not cluttered and drawn out)!  Shows like this just intrigue you with something improbable, and your curiosity just sucks you in.  I hope the storyline doesn't fray into a billion different directions like what happened in Heroes, but so far so good.  It's about everyone in the whole world blacking out at the exact same time and......ok I have to leave it at that don't want to spoil :)

Ep 1 @ Hulu

Oh yea! Almost forgot.  John Cho is in it lol.  For some reason it always cracks me up when I see John Cho in things.  The dude is everywhere!  Nick and Norah, Star Trek, HIMYM.  I like the guy, but it just cracks me up.

Also caught a couple minutes of Community, pretty funny, but not sure if I'm gonna follow it yet.

Another Future related funny some Oregonian (yea that's what their called) friend of mine posted on his FB: 
The World of Tomorrow (If The Internet Disappeared Today)

My favorite are #14, #4, and of course, #1....damn you NUMBER 1!

Life and Level

A good friend of mine introduced these 2 fellars to me one day, and after 1 episode of their show "Life and Level" I was hooked!

He described it as the Nerd Jackass, and that description fits their show exactly.

Let's start with the 1st episodes;


So far all the guys I've passed it on to have had a blast. If you're a gamer and love slapstick then I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I think these guys deserve to be paid for what they do, so spread it around!

Genius #1: Bo Burnham

HAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH man.. Last day of school BABYYYYYYY. Last night I drank with Frank (rhymage) to celebrate good times. It was great, stumbling around watching russell peters. You should try it!

Anyways this morning I woke up hungover, but I woke up early to go to my class. Turns out, it was cancelled wtf.

These posts will be about things that impress me. Item numero uno, Bo Burnham. This guy is hilarious. Wilton first showed it to me, and the lewdness and shrewdness (and crudeness) shocked me cus Wilton was like 10 years old! But when I looked at the lyrics, this guy is genius.

Step on a crack,
break your mothers back
Turn around and smoke that crack,
break your mothers heart

Well, today I saw his new song video and the last verse just killed.

cause havin sex is like quadratic expansion if it cant be split then its time to stop,
and havin sex is like doing fractions, its improper for the larger one to be on top,
and havin sex is like math homework, i do it best when i'm alone in my bed.
and squarin numbers are just like women, if theyre under thirteen just do them in your head....


yeeeeee..watch this shizz with the lyrics on the right hand info expanded, son.



ya dig?
