Happy Birthday Beans

Today was my my friend Junior’s birthday. I started out the day meeting him up at McDonalds. Had a drink with him. Then David asked for a ride to pick up his girlfriend. So I took him got back and met everyone up back at McDonalds.

Got kicked out and left to Garvey school. Skated it for a bit. Had some more drinks.

Went to Gab to meet up with Rothany and Johnny. Hung out for a bit and dropped of Rothany at home. Came home with Jesus and grubbed a bit. Left to Beaner’s house to celebrate his birthday with him. The BULLSHIT fam. was in full effect.

After it all and now home eating dinner. MMMmm.

Yesterday was pretty bomb. Woke up ’round 11. Jesus called me up to go skate. Got up and was ready by 12 and got Rothany. Got Monica by 1. At the skatepark by 1:30 and seshed it for a bit. Daniel Shimizu from Stereo Skateboards was up in the park. So was Jon Rojas from 1031 Skateboards shredding up the park.

Left around 3, went to Taco Bell for a quick lunch. Meet up at Keppel 7 after lunch. Local skaters Adrian and Hector was there. Caught Hector hardflip down 7’s in less than 5 tries. That’s what I like. Skater hits me up to film or shoot, and has the trick in less than 10 tries. Clean hardflip too. Left to pick up the DVX came back to the spot and the skaters got the boot. Went down the street to a gap. Alvaro tried backside flip. No luck.

Met up at the Cruz pad. Donks Cruz showed up with a new set of wheels, some HIDs and a new knob. Pretty fresh. Rides coming together JDM conversion with the doors, seats, and front end. Waited to see if we could get a generator to skate Chino 4 block. No luck with that so went to West Covina’s skatepark to session there. Cops showed up and drove us to Baldwin skatepark down the street. This kid Victor, a homie of my homies was throwing down some gnarly hammers for the BULLSHIT to see.

After the skateboarding we all met up at McDonalds back here by home and had fun and a few laughs. Local homies Rudy, Rizo and BULLSHIT’s own Joey was on their way to Hollywood for some audition. Stopped by and said what’s up. They went on their way and we just chilled and ate or what not. Dropped everyone off and made my way home.

Today, I went to American Apparel this morning and got a few shirts. Came home and had lunch. Made a few phone calls. Went to the eye doctors to get a new prescription for my contacts. I haven’t been to the eye doctors in 3 years. Damn!

Came home and went to meet up Rothany, Seattle and Johnny at Gab. They left to the mall and I just came home. Chill day today.

It feels good when everyone reunites.

As far as I can remember. Sunday night after the Vegas trip, I called some friends and they were in Chino. Then we were supposed to meet up and skate but they went to Riverside instead. I heard a story about a marine pulling a shank on my friend Seattle. Asking him, “What’s your code?” So I just slept and got much rest for the rest of that night.

I can barely remember what I did on Monday. Had to ask a few friends and go through emails and messages to remember. I guess that day I had spoke to Seattle, and he told me to meet him up at Gab. Then go from there. Well I was at Gab for quite a while waiting for Seattle. Good thing I had a friend there that kept me company. Well that day we went to the mall and just walked around for a bit. After we skated the parking lot a little bit and called it a night a bit early.

Tuesday I went to the Girl office for their annual Girl Open House Invitational. Rothany and I went. I filmed it a bit. Practiced on my zoom. Not too happy with the footage I captured. I skated the park also. Had free In-N-Out. Thanks Girl. After we left to pick up Seattle and Candy. Then we went to eat Wendy’s. Left to Target bench and skated that. I had a Starbucks. It was way too cold for anything else. After the Target sesh. I dropped everyone off and came home.

Wednesday. I’m trying hard to remember Wednesday. I can’t seem to remember a thing. I think I picked up Rothany then Jesus. The Black Box open house was on Wednesday. I wasn’t sure and didn’t wanna make the drive out to Carlsbad for nothing. I think I picked up Monica and went to the mall. Then later on we met up Seattle at Gab or something. But Johnny was there for some reason. We left to a different mall and was at Spencer’s all night looking at their sex books. We left around 9 and, damn it’s so hard to remember exactly. Well the night was ending already.

So Thursday, was a fun day. Went to the mall with my camera. Shot a whole shit load of high aperture photos. A bunch of homies were there. Tried to get a mug of everyone. Shot like 400, but only 100 were good I bet. That night we went to skate our underground skatepark. Set up a cardboard gap. All the homies were there. Just after that dropped kids off and made my way home.

Friday we met up at Fishes’ house. Everyone was there. It was Jennifer’s birthday. I drove around a lot. First it was Johnny that wanted to go home to get his skate shoes and new wheels. Then I was at his house for a while with Crystal’s baby. Then when I got to McDonalds to meet up with the guys Beagle wanted a ride home to drop off his bike and get his skateboard. Jarrod wanted to pick up trucks and shoes from Rothany’s house. At McDonalds, I asked for a water cup and they wouldn’t give me one. So I asked Rothany to buy a cup. Then I went to the restroom to wash my hands. I came out and the lady was saying, ” Number 1 and Number 2.” I looked up and she looked at me and gave me the expression that the order was mine. So I said fuck it, and I grabbed the food. Munched down and left. Drove then after I ate I took that mission going to Rothany’s house to get trucks and shoes for Jarrod. Then went to Beagle’s house to pick him up. Jarrod wanted to set up his board there. So while I was there I filmed a little, “Welcome to my room.”, with Beagles room. He wanted to coinstar some coins so we were there for a while doing that. Finally met up with the rest of the guys and skated Garvey. After Jesus, Rothany and I were at McDonalds waiting for Seattle to get off work. Met him up and went to the mall cause he wanted some fresh denim. Did that and I can’t even remember what we did after.

Saturday was another fun day. We skated San Gabriel High. I filmed with a DVX. Oh my goodness that camera is so clean. Sam and Danny was at San Gabriel also. Shredding. I remember going to the mall cause I know I seen Alvaro. Then just going to skate with Alvaro and some other guys. I haven’t skated with Alvaro in a while. So it was down to see him bust. Skated the underground structure again. Then I drove Jesus and Alvaro to a party in South Gate. Pounded in the car then went in the party and pounded some more. I was so wasted. I remember trying to get in the party for free. I told the door, ” Luke Destroys, Team Bullshit, Dj Pinxx said for me to get in for free. Hahas. That was funny. Then was in the party for a little but shots after shots from friends. The cops showed up to shut it down and I was so drunk. I eventually had to drive home.

Today I was met up some heads at Wendy’s with Monica. Left to Burbank Middle School to film. Seattle got some footy down. Went to KFC’s after, didn’t eat. Then left to San Marino High and had an awesome session. Now I’m home. I’m trying to think. A warehouse. A skateshop. Like I want my own warehouse. I could do all my shit in and have a skatepark so the homies can chill and skate. Like Rothany said, “A skatepark with a table and like pizza or something would be dope.” That’s what I want! Ahhh.
Hungry gonna go look for food and knock out.

What ever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Sorta :]

Left Rosemead at about 5 in the morning. The four hour drive was not bad at all. Thanks to cruise control. Made a pit stop at Del Taco for morning chicken soft tacos. Arrive here at the hotel like right about 9. Had to figure out the room situation. Well after the long drive and long wait in the lobby I still didn’t get my room. I guess some one was still in the room that was reserved. The house keeper told me that she goes on lunch at 11 so then when she get back from lunch the laundry should be done. I went to the lobby to confirm and left to go eat. I had to leave my stuff in my aunt’s room next door.

I went to the Flamingo Buffet place. The food wasn’t even that good. But I met this girl. Well kind of. She was sporting an Active tee so I asked her where abouts is she from. She’s from Orange County. The crazy thing is she bought the tee at Active Long Beach. That was nice to know that I encountered some one that’s not too far away from my home town. Well after we went on our ways. So during..breakfast?? Lunch, brunch?? I don’t even know what to call it. I said something about girls and I mean that the guy thing to do right. Well that’s what I was did and my cousins start to look at me like I was an alien or something. Hahas. I just thought that as so funny. Four guys sitting together and I happen to mention about girls. I just don’t know what to say.
Well after I came back to the hotel hoping to have my room ready so I can rest. Well, the room wasn’t ready. I argued it saying that I need to sleep and get ready for the wedding. I think I made the girl cry at the front desk. Well her eyes were watery. I felt so bad. I had to wait another half an hour. Spent two dollars at the slots machines. Lost two bucks. I finally got the keys to my room. Came up to the room and rest.

Couldn’t really do it. I wanted to get away from like all this casino part of Las Vegas, so I Google map a mall around here. It was supposed to be a 15 minute drive from the hotel and turned into like 40 minute drive. I drove way past the exit into like desert. Out of the City of Las Vegas itself. So stupid. Well went to the mall. Like a mall back home, Hollister, Zumiez, all that good stuff. Especially my favorite. Those Dell Computer kiosk things. I always try to open up Call of Duty and play the demo. Well that’s what I did. About when I was finishing the douche bag worker told me that theres a time limit to the computer. I started talking shit, saying isn’t this for demo and all this crap. Came down to, “Well, I think I would be able to pay $76 bucks a month for this computer.” I knew that cause I seen it from before. Made those fools look all stupid in front of their customers. Straight up, I told them, ” Good salesmanship guys.”

After that incident I just came back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding. Got ready and left to the wedding. Shot some photos. Just whatever about them. They are good but I’m over it. There was open bar too. Started off with a Jack and Coke. Rum with Coke and lime, vodka with orange juice. Had a beer. Just chilled. Well the sole of my shoe decided to come apart during the banquet and I just sat the rest of the evening. Pretty lame. I was bored out of my mind. I couldn’t move. Well I would just like to say congrats to my cousin David and his wife Cherri. Have a happy life together. I was so tired that I just left the building without saying any goodbyes. When my mom walks out, David was right behind her, and I felt so bad.

During the wedding banquet part, my eye started to bug me. It made my eye super swollen and I felt like shit. So, when I got back to the hotel, I threw out my contacts, and put on my glasses.

When I was back in the hotel I wasn’t as tired anymore. Actually I went up and down the whole Las Vegas strip. I was just cruising through the sidewalks of Las Vegas strip. On this one corner, this girl (that sounds bad, but wasn’t like that) told me her story about bad experience with skateboards. She wanted a lift on my wood though. So I gave her a ride across the street. She invited me to sushi but I just said have a good night and took off. Repping ATL. Hope to talk or hear from her one day again.

Came back to the hotel. Went through the casino and watched some games. Pretty crazy. Those dealers count fast. Was at the “Dealertainers” area in the casino listening to Elvis Presley’s version of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Carolina, Y.M.C.A., Billy Jean and other songs. Pretty crazy area. Everyone was yelling and screaming. Like that actual Vegas experience.

I went back up to the room at about 1:30 and in the elevator ride up, I’m in a full car. The door closes half way and the guy closes to the door like sticks out his hand or something. It censored the doors to open back up. A friend of his said something like, “Your belly sticks out more than your dinkie does. The whole elevator is cracking up. I bet the guy feels all embarrassed.

I wake up about 8 a.m. I was planning to leave earlier but I was sleeping. Some how it lagged all the way till about 2 is when I started the drive back. Waited for everyone to get ready. Took down luggage to the car. Then waited for everyone to meet up together. Left to eat, at this Vietnamese place. Walk into the restaurant and already the seater was a douche bag. Didn’t say anything but I could tell by his looks. I didn’t eat. Everyone one else did. Got the check and payed for the food and they decided not to give us change. Like as if we were going to forget it. It was a lousy ten dollars, but it was the principle of it. Regardless if it was even a penny. They should have brought it over. We get in a big argument and the server from the beginning was talking shit. Gave us back the 10 and told my mom, ” Good luck, go buy some McDonald’s.” True story this guy told my brother, “You wanna step outside.” I square up, hit this fag bag up and bitch ass stays behind the counter. I’m surprised my brother didn’t deck him first try. He has been a little girl about things though, during the whole trip. Complaining about little stuff, and talked a bunch of jive. He says, “I think I am always right.” So, all Sunday I listen to his directions, and all day was I going in the wrong way. So proved him that, when I do open my mouth, it’s obviously cause I know right.

Went to this outlet a little bit outside of the strip. Went to the camera store and looked at some lens. I talked my shit. I just was bored and wanted to try out the lens. Walked around, then left. The drive was quite nice. Stopped in Barstow for some In-N-Out. Then made my way home. Not until I was back in the Los Angeles County. Like Upland I believe it was. The car that was behind me decided to ride my ass. I hit the brakes on him and he turns on his beams. Seriously, beside the taxi drivers in Las Vegas, cause there are so many of them. The drivers were way more nice. I don’t know if it was because most drivers on the strip were on vacation like me, so they just drive nice to avoid accidents out of town. Made my way home hoping to go skate a bit with the homies. But, they were in Chino, already, all day. I just knocked out at 8. It’s like 3:41 a.m. Monday morning and I’m finishing this up. I started this on yesterday morning. I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of typos. I’ll figure it out.

So, this was my whole Vegas experience. Have you ever been to Vegas and had a weird but fun trip? Tell me about it!

NO SEX ALLOWED!!

American Idol is funny. I think people just go on this show to make themselves look funny. Milo, 39 of…somewhere. “Sex is weak and love is strong.”

Well yesterday I don’t remember. I probably didn’t do much thats why. Today I went to Costco. Got a lot of food. Then went to eat Pho. Rothany needed a fresh deck so we went to get one for him. Pretty much called it a night. Now, I’m thinking about going to DANCE tonight. Ahhs.

So much for benift show.

So Friday, was pretty cool. Heard about this Andy Warhol event in Echo Park or something and looked forward to go. Then I found out it was 21+. Super bummed. I did end up going to Club 82. After I met up with a few friends and a lot of shit went on. I need to change some more things. Saturday I went to lunch with Adrian and Carla. I didn’t get any food though. We were at IHOP. I was quite feeling IHOP.

I had a benefit show planned for Saturday evening in my back yard. Dennis bought hot dogs, soda, drinks and such. We had on Rush Hour on a projector. Started up Guitar Hero. Twelve O’ Clock in English had just finish setting up and 21 Gun Salute was pulling in the rest of their equipment. Some parents decided to show up with or without their kids and started telling my mom things. She got scared because I guess they threatened to call the cops. So right when the first band was about to play she pulled the plugs. Like literally pull the plugs. Now I know not to hold events at my mom’s house. The bands left. My friends stayed played Guitar Hero and finished off the rest of the hot dogs. Had a few more drinks. Then left to bowling. The night was pretty fun.

Today I have been playing Guitar Hero all day almost. I’m going to Teresa’s BBQ in a bit. I didn’t get to eat much yesterday. So I’ll grub today. I am leaving for Las Vegas next weekend for a wedding. Four hour drive there, then stay for like five or six hours then another four hours back.

I need to find new things to do. Maybe just bring back some old things. Keep the ones now still, but do old things, then find new things to do. Pretty much confusing when you read it. But I got it figure out in mine.

Showah!!!

Then go to bed after my hair drys. Tomorrow wake up and do some graphic designing. Skateboard. Then

tomorrow
lets bring a little jack in my life
size….8
anyone wants to try on a size 8 shoee

tomorrow is jack’s day!

Fame has gotten in to peoples heads.

“We need a drive day to make sure we don’t miss our first tour date especially one of the biggest shows with some big bands. were not gonna risk playing some house show that might get broken up.”

What has fame become. “If I was famous, you would know me. If you weren’t famous, I wouldn’t know you.”

That’s sad.

“..always stick with shit till its over with.”

Remember your friends and family. Remember where you came from. Remember who you are most importantly. Don’t let anything go in your way of losing yourself. In this life, the next life, you only have yourself. Secrets, are best kept to yourself.

That’s sad when I think about this.

I wish the best to who ever that sent me that message. I’m pretty sure at the moment you spoke for yourself and not the whole band.

Faith, Hope, and Love.

of these three; the greatest of these is love.

In order to have love for something you have to believe. With out believing in something then it would not exist. In-order for something to exist in your own mind you must believe that it exists.

It would help for someone to help you believe. It sometimes takes two. When you expect a person to believe in you. The person that means most to you and doesn’t. It really sucks.

To love something, you have given up everything completely for this. Love is a very strong word. As like never. To say you never have or never will do something.

The week goes by oh so fast.

It’s Thursday morning already. The weekend that just past wasn’t quite that fun. It was raining. The toast premier went on, on Saturday night. The video was pretty cool. Other than the rain that came down hard about half way thru the video. Right after the last part everyone went in to the house. Had a few beers and chi-chat a bit. Then late that evening I had a few friends over.

Sunday was a super rainy day. It rained all day. I stayed home all day I believe.

Monday was a slow day. I visited some friends at their high school. Later that day I went skating some ledges that have been recently de-knobbed. They are super buttery. After the session, went to the mall. Got some garlic bread, walk around. Then called it a night.

On Tuesday, I went to Samy’s camera in Pasadena. Wanted to take a look at the new Canon 1D Mark III. They didn’t have a demo of the camera so I just got a charger for my mom’s camera. Photography is such an expensive hobby, profession or what ever you would call it. Went to my grandma’s house to feast off her dinner. Haven’t had anything even close to a dinner like that in a while. I ended up eating again later on. I went to D.A.N.C.E. that evening. Something to do on a Tuesday night. I was out in the patio listening and observing the people around. Pretty amazing. From being a nerd, with gaming, to films, then drugs, so random.

Wednesday was a change from the days before. I went to guitar center for hours. From the DJ/Live audio section to drums. Then keys to samplers. The Moog was amazing. I have come to an conclusion. I can work with music all day if I had the money for it. Everything was so damn expensive. After I was supposed to meet up with some friends to skate those ledges I was at on Monday. As I pull up a security is looking around, then opens up the gate and pulls in. My friends were already in there so I left to their car and left them a note, telling them they can find me playing Call of Duty at the mall. They show up and one of them had a gash on the left corner of his right eye(my left). They tell me the story of what had happened at the ledges. I guess he got hit with a flash light by a security guard. I played my game then went to Starbucks to get a Ice Chai. Walked around a bit more then called it a night. I’ve been home since thinking.

I don’t even do anything in my life. I have all these things that I can do. But, everything has a big entrance fee. Say photography I have camera, but there is so much more to make my images better. Presentable better. Flash, lens, lights. All day everyday I find myself sleeping in. Then waking up looking for food then skating. Go to the mall to kill time, play Call of Duty. Nothing ever productive. I could be doing so much more. Music, fashion, photography, film. Arrgghh.

Good night.
