i’ve moved!

i’ve moved!  i don’t know why, but I just did.  it was actually some time ago but i neglected to tell people, so there you have it.  sometimes there are inexplainable things and in this case, i was just not compelled to blog on this site.  i think it has to do w/ the word processor interface.  either way, visit my other site — it needs people!

 slipping back

mancation

wow, i haven’t posted in almost a month. i guess that in itself is an update … i’ve spent the last month writing papers and making presentations and i am so over it. I enjoyed some of the projects tremendously while others were a complete waste of time. but that’s how it goes, i guess.

but who cares?! I’m done. I turned everything in yesterday and it’s a new quarter ahead of me. but first, spring break!

I’ll be headed to “The Hunt Club” which is somewhere in Florida with 5 of my buddies. we’re staying at Drake’s in-law’s place for about 5 days to fishing and hang out in the sun (with the mosquitoes). no clue why it is called the hunt club — drake probably made that up.

Drake’s email to us summed up the next few days perfectly …

Fellas,

The Mancation is here. In 3 days we’ll be at the Hunt Club living a life of extreme indulgence of food, drink, sun, fun.

Essential gear is board shorts (swim trunks in TX), t-shirts, sandals, shades, hat, some warm gear for potentially chilly nights. If we go into south captiva town, the most strict dress code will be khacki shorts / collared shirt. Don’t need tennis shoes, cowboy boots, train conductor hats, computer. Everyone should also bring a flashlight. (ed note: there is no electricity at this place)

We’ll have limited internet access using a cell phone connection. Wife/fiance call time will be 3pm EST as that is most sober un-hungover moment of day.

He also attached this picture. Sweet. See ya when i get back.

looking for shoes?

check out this cool site, sneaker stores, that uses google maps functionality to list sneaker joints — anywhere in the world. Clicking on a country and then a listing generates a map, directions, a store description, brands carried and the store’s website. freakin’ dope.

boblo

now, i’m not an obscene shoehead, but i do enjoy my kicks. ladies and gentlemen, the nike boblo, designed with Lance Armstrong. i’ve been wearing these for a week and absolutely love them. no high-tech cushioning here — just drop dead good looks.

props to my bro for locating the shoes for me (surprisingly not easily found in stores) and to SoleCollector for bringing them to my attention (December issue).

I’m back!

(Belated) Happy New Year! I’ve been back in LA, getting swamped by school work and not keeping my new years resolution to … PLAY … MORE … GOLF. This will change, starting today. But first, updates! I enjoy taking pics and took a bunch over break. I do, however, royally suck and a lot of them came out blurry! CRAP! But there were a few that came out okay, and I thought I’d give my update in images (with captions). Enjoy!

Hello, Manila!
break was filled with family, lots of laughs and good eats.

totally enjoyed hanging out with my older brother, Mark…

And as I mentioned, good eats!
A sampling — Chilean Sea Bass …

and Seafood something (the name escapes me). Yum!

but all good things come to an end, and I came home after my 3 week break.

since then, I’ve been studying …
oh, and playing a ton of videogames …

props to G$ for convincing me that bigger IS better and for approving the 42″ size for our future bedroom!

In addition to my latest splurge, I’ve bought 2 pairs of rockin’ shoes. But I’ll save that for the next post. Have a good weekend!
