I’ve been waiting for the Apple iPhone 4 for a pretty long time. I had the first generation iPhone, then my second family The Laws bought me the 3G as a present so I was using that for a long time. I skipped the 3GS for a couple of reasons 1) My 3G was working fine 2) I wasn’t eligible for an upgrade yet so I’d have to pay $599 or something stupid 3) It looked exactly like the 3G so the Chinese in me couldn’t justify paying for another phone when it didn’t look any different, and 4) I figured Apple had the iPhone 4 coming around the following summer.

Every single year as a Clippers fans we beg for a change. Whether it’s a new coach, GM, team, owner, or even just a uniform. People joke about it, but being a Clippers fan is painful…really painful. Every season starts off like a major high then ends like a major crash from that high. The sad thing is that we always have hope. People talk about curses, but I don’t believe in curses. I do believe in Karma, though. And as fans, we’ve really done nothing wrong as a whole. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been putting off my long blog regarding some of the Lakers fans and probably will for a while out of respect for my friends like Jason Dienhart, Roel Concepcion, Eddie Lee, etc who are actually true Lakers fans that actually understand the game of basketball. Right now, I’ll just skip to the NBA Finals that are currently going on. Living in California the majority of my life, I only know a handful of true Celtics fans. I’m sure they’re a lot more annoying when you’re in Boston. However, some Lakers fans are really something else. I say some because it’d be truly stupid to say all, since I don’t think an entire group of any people act the exact same. But some of these Lakers fans get so sensitive when it comes to their team. Now if it’s trash talking, then of course you have to defend your team. However, these so-called fans get really pissed if you 1) aren’t rooting for their team 2) say anything that’s not 10000% positive about their team or 3) aren’t riding up and down on Kobe’s cheating jock. It’s pretty funny actually. Throughout the Finals, I haven’t really been going for the Celtics as much as I’ve been going against the Lakers. This makes Lakers fans mad. Though last time I checked, this was America (red, white and blue like the Clippers colors) and I’m free to choose whichever team I want to win…or lose. I’ve even kept my Tweets and FaceBook status updates pretty fair, yet I still get Ke$ha for it. BTW, Ke$ha is the new codeword for shit. These Lakers fans get so mad that they resort to calling names, cussing, or bringing up how bad the Clippers are. Like I didn’t already know that. LOL. Thanks for the breaking news. These Lakers fans swear they know more about basketball than Phil Jackson himself. Trust me, I know basketball. You’ll never hear me say the Lakers suck or Kobe sucks because they don’t. I just don’t have to like them. It’s my right not to. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s very rare that the Clippers have a lot of cap space to spend on a big free agent at the right time. Last time I remember was when Kobe Bryant opted out of his contract with the Lakers only to stroke his own ego then bone us like he did to that white chick in Denver (allegedly). Well, this summer is much different. There are more superstars in the NBA than just Kobe and they all happen to be opting out of their contracts to become unrestricted free agents. The main ones emerged from the same draft class as the big goofball Chris Kaman. The biggest being, of course, King LeBron James. Read the rest of this entry »
For as long as I can remember, I haven’t been a big fan of bread. Even before all these low-carb diets, I’ve just thought that bread was a waste of stomach space. So this has gone on in my wacky brain for years. Then because of my White Mother, Julie Cruz, and their Lighthouse Ministry of Orange County organization I came up with a pretty random idea. I can’t count how many restaurants I eat at that automatically bring a huge plate of bread out for you to snack on before you order your meal. For me, it’s a total waste because I won’t eat the bread unless it’s really good. Even if I ask them not to bring me any bread, they still will out of sheer habit. So 80% of the time, the bread just sits on that plate then gets thrown away after I leave. At least I think they throw it away and don’t serve it to some other unsuspecting patrons. That’s where I find the big problem to be. I mean, there are so many people out there who are starving and here we are throwing away perfectly good bread. I guess they could dig it out of the trash like the grungy guy who hangs out inside my dumpster every weekend, but why don’t we just try to avoid that step in the first place? Here’s what I first conjured up as a plan. I’m sure you’ve bought something somewhere and have been asked if you wanted to donate $1 for some charity. If not, you will. So when you go to a restaurant, what if they asked if you wanted to donate your bread to a charity or homeless shelter. This would occur before they brought it out of course, so that people wouldn’t be exactly getting your sloppy seconds. Read the rest of this entry »
I don’t know if you guys remember the “mosh girl” who was pretty much the funniest thing on the Internet for a while. It was this chubby chick at a party kicking her leg up like a freak. Pretty normal at a punk rock party, I suppose. But someone decided to very poorly Photoshop her in different scenarios. It’s probably not as funny without seeing it, so here’s a link to some of what they did.
After her, there were a bunch of followers like the 9/11 guy that we tried to recreate at Super Street. He’s the dude who supposedly was on top of the World Trade Center wearing a parka jacket and beanie posing for a picture with a plane flying right at him. Then there was the fat kid who I don’t remember where he came from. And of course, Pedo Bear, the freaky Japanese cartoon pedophile bear.
I’ve flown on Jet Blue a countless amount of times back when I used to travel a lot more for work. Mainly because they conveniently flew out of Long Beach Aiport, which was down the street from my house so I didn’t have to haul myself all the way up to LAX to either fight traffic to barely make my flight or to miss traffic and get to my flight three hours early. Aside from the convenience-factor, Jet Blue was always one of those airlines that strived to be cooler than the rest by using funny ads. They are still one of the few airlines that don’t charge for checking in baggage or in-flight snacks. Oh, they also have personal monitors with DirecTV playing at each seat. Come to think of it, I don’t recall ever having a bad experience on Jet Blue…until now. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m already disgusted by the fact that 75% of the members at the gym don’t use towels to wipe their sweat off of the machines. I can’t sit here and say I follow all of the rules posted at LA Fitness because that would be a lie. However, I try my best to comply with the more important ones like not dropping weights on the floor and not falling asleep on the machines. OK. I made that second one up, but it’s a pretty good rule if you see the stuff I do at the gym.
Let’s get to one of the most basic rules - dress code. I’m not sure if it’s for comfort or appearance but it should exist regardless. From what I recall, it states that the following articles of clothing are not allowed anywhere in the work out areas: work boots, jeans, flannels, sandals, high heels, cowboy hats, cowboy boots, big belt buckles, tuxedos, and some other random things that nobody in their right minds would even consider wearing at the gym anyway…except this dude.
