a week of remembrance.

This week has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. The passing of my grandfather was tough on our family especially us grandkids. The viewing was held last thur and fri followed by the funeral on saturday. We had family from all over the west coast joining us for the event. Id just like to thank everyone who showed concern for my family and i with prayers and wishes. I cant express the gratitude I have for all of you. Thank you.

Check it out @ Tokidoki blog These pics were taken from the recent annual San Diego Comic Con and if you scroll down towards the middle of the page you'll notice Simone Legno, mr. Tokidoki himself signing my skateboard deck and my lil white munny along with the other exclusive toyhe signed for Cha n I.

So the past two days Ive been taking care of a few things in preparation for my lolo Papa funeral. This past week the grandkids have been busy putting together a montage, picture board, and making tee shirts for the viewing and funeral ceremony. Ive also been busy cleaning our house because it seems that there will be a few family members from out of town staying for the event. Besides our guest rooms downstairs and upstairs I have to give up my room to visitors. So on friday ill be on the floor in the master bedroom retreat. Hasnt been the first I get kicked out of my room.

I also had time to make some side money for this weekend by putting my auto tunning skills on Jacob Subaru Legacy wagon. I installed 32 way adjustable coilovers w/ camber top mounts, sway bars, rear lower adjustable control arms, front Cusco strut bar, & stretched 18x9's. If you know anyone that needs work done im your man. You dream it I build it.


before: stock suspension w/ jdm sti springs


after: sexc isnt it?

the aftermath..only way to capture how dirty i was is to shoot it a lil dark. girls love hard working men....i think. yes my bathroom door has a "comfort room" sign. haha

Food for thought with a lil morning news

If you have not noticed corporate America has been trying to grab hold of this health nut band wagon as it rolls through every media stream, publication and household. It has been said that the United States is the most unhealthy country in the world. What do you expect? Looking down most streets you'll find a handful of different fast food chains, 10 Starbucks, a few taco shops, and a 711 here and there. Ofcourse nutritionists, doctors, and the media were quick to blame these chains of stores for the cause of Americas unhealthy style of living. I say screw the man. Its not the food we should blame its the people eating it. Come on, ofcourse any individual will get terribly unhealthy by eating @ McDo daily in portions that are beyond insanity. America should be able to eat what they want and not have to be brain washed to stuff something they find so flavorful.

Speaking of flavorful food. If its delectable eats that you crave along with great ambiance but are unsure of where to find such a place, let Cha and Norey be the ones to guide you. These two ladies have started "tasters delight". As they travel to different cities through out the United States they make it a point to find the best places to eat and critique them. Check it out. It'll be satisfying.


Also for those that didnt catch the channel 6 morning news last fri. from 5-10am there was a celebration goin down for the merge of the CW goin to channel 6 and leaving 5. The celebration was held at the Wave House in Mission Beach. Heres two videos to recap the event. Oh yeah... MINDZ ALIKE doin big thangs.

ED - Phones?

I had to mention this find. My boy Neil V. linked me to these dope WeSC collaboration headphones with the French record company Ed Banger ran by Pedro Winter. These headphones are part of their artist series in their headphone line. These will be available Aug 20 and you know im gonna cop a pair...come on headphones with ED on them. Enough said.
