Just Me Against The World

Right now I’m at the China Ferry terminal waiting to go back to Hong Kong and then eventually to my homeland of Taiwan. I’ve spent the past six days at the Bao Qiang factory in Zhong Shan and randomly roaming around the rest of the city taking random pictures as I would do on a daily basis back in the States. Unfortunately, I haven’t had many chances to upload them since I’m on Twitter and FaceBook cockblock here. The only site that works is MySpace, which pretty much validates on irrelevant it has become if China doesn’t even bother to keep people from signing on.  Several blog entries were running through my mind, they all got bumped because of my extreme annoyance with douchebag white dudes last night. Well, more than just last night, but for some reason it was exponentially worse. (more…)

Not too long ago I took a trip to the mainland, yup China. I’m not actually from there so I don’t refer to it as the homeland. I’m M.I.T (Made In Taiwan) but grew up in California for most of my life so I get just as confused and annoyed as you do when there’s a group of Chinese people doing weird F.O.B (Fresh Off The Boat) shit over here in America. Like I wanted to kill people about 15 minutes after I stepped off of the plane, but after about a week there I started realizing why those mainlanders do what they do. Well, only partially. Some things I can’t figure out no matter how hard I try, but here’s the breakdown. Oh yeah, keep in mind that these are real pictures that I took with my iPhone. I have a lot more, but figure I’d spare you the torture. A couple of them were from the bank for crying out loud. Bank of FOB apparently lol.  (more…)

What more is there to say about Blake Griffin? Some say he’s a cyborg sent here to save the Clippers from decades of humiliation on the basketball court, and I can’t say that I disagree. The way he abuses rims every night with his ferocious dunks, he can’t be 100% human. Someone took the time to splice together a video of all 214 Blake Griffin dunks this season, so enjoy and try not to fall out of your chair. If you do, at least go wash your hands because the floor is dirty. This is better than any crappy reality show that’s on TV right now anyway. (more…)

Honestly, there really isn’t much more I can say about the tragedy in Japan that hasn’t been covered in the news. Although I’ve heard back from a lot of my friends over there that they are OK, there’s a portion of that great country that has been ruined by earthquakes and the tsunami. It’s nice to see people in the United States (as much as the rest of the world hates us) step up in a time of need. Just a couple of days ago, I read a story on how Gwen Stefani from No Doubt donated $1 million to Japan. I know there are a few more celebrities that did as well, but I can’t remember exactly who. Now you and I don’ t have $1 million dollars to donate, but we can still help within our own means. (more…)

It has always been my nature to stick up for people. It’s probably because I’m a Scorpio or just plain angry, as some people like to claim. In this case, Blake Griffin probably doesn’t need my help, but this is just so people will hopefully shut up about his Kia car dunk. Yes, I’m writing this almost a week after the 2011 All Star Game where Blake dunked over a Kia to win. From the second people realized he won, insane hogs out there were talking trash about how the dunk was lame and he should have jumped over the roof of the car. OK. Let’s start off by saying, you suggesting that anyone jump over the roof of a car is lame. What type of crack are you smoking to think that’s even realistic? That’s 57-inches (nearly 5 feet) just to get to on top of the car. Even if Blake could jump over the roof of a car, which I wouldn’t bet money that he couldn’t, think of the risk factors involved if something were to go wrong. A bad jump or mistimed pass would put the future face of the NBA back in the operating room. It’s a dunk contest, not Jackass 3D. Now that we have that cleared up, let’s get to the actual dunk over the hood.

This past Saturday I got home around 1:30pm after playing basketball in Huntington Beach with a bunch of the car industry dudes. I saw a DirecTV guy trying to get into our building since, for once, nobody propped the security door open. Being the nice guy that I am, I let him in because I figured it was for my new next door neighbors that just moved in. He asked if we were allowed to have DirecTV because some HOAs don’t like dishes mounted on the buildings. I said yes because I had it for years and so did the previous owners. Then I explained to him that my neighbor and I shared the same roof area on top where the dishes were. Seemed simple enough. Of course, it wasn’t.

I had a hunch that people were going more and more loony every year and this just confirmed it. I’ll set you up really quick so you can figure out what the hell I’m talking about. Laura DeMaggio is my sister’s high school friend and I joke around with on FaceBook. Without spilling her whole life story on here, let’s just say that one of the things I make fun of her about is dating a lot of dudes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Plus, it’s just FaceBook. So yesterday morning she puts this as her status update, which there is no way in hell that I can fight the urge to respond.

There’s no better way to go through a Sunday morning in Los Angeles than eating lunch at LA Market inside LA Live then hitting the LA Clippers game. That’s a lot of LA to be taking in. But what can I say, broke ass city, but you gotta love it. Normally we’d be hitting our seats in section 119 dubbed Chuville by Adrienne Washington, but since my friend called dibs on most of our seats this season, I was an honorary guest in Jesse Beer’s section 101 seats dubbed Beerville by, well, himself. LOL. (more…)

I never thought I had this much to say until this fella named Will Cannady hit me up on Twitter to do an interview on his CarCast Podcast show. Since he already did the show with big Jarod DeAnda, Brian Gillespie from Hasport, and Will Rogge I figure dude was legit so I locked myself in the Chu’s Packaging Supplies conference room for an hour and talked rambled on while fighting the dropped calls from my beloved AT&T cell phone service. Sigh. The things I deal with just to use my damn iPhone. If you have time, check out my interview on here. I haven’t listed to it because I hate my voice. It’s pretty long so it’s OK to pause it for bathroom breaks as long as you wash your hands. Even if you don’t give a rat’s ass what I have to say, just listen and download it for the sake of my ego. LOL. Also, if you’d like to donate money or advertise, hit up Will Cannady for more info.

I don’t feel like sitting here and recapping on everything that went on in 2010. What I am going to do is bow down graciously and say that I did a very horrible job keeping up with any of my resolutions. This year will be different. I swear…maybe. I’ll try to keep things simple, though I’m pretty sure none of my 2010 resolutions were that crazy anyway. I just started slacking off. (more…)
