So it doesn’t come to surprise me that when I ask around no one in LA has the slightest clue what they are doing for New Years, and to be honest, i can understand why…
The club scene is pretty lame… you pay $200 a ticket and you are surrounded with a bunch of idiots that normally couldn’t pray to get in…Paramount Studios…No better…I heard from [...]

TNT got this song stuck in my head ….Fake Blood-Mars
I’m sorry, but someone has got to say it: Unless you are a cute 4 year old chubby-cheeked tot or a 60+ geriatric working in your vegetable garden, you SHOULD NOT wear Crocs. These shoes are terrible. You may as well be wearing Spongbob Squarepants slippers from Rite-Aid.
In Jerusalem the other day (I’m visiting the [...]
So i just made it back to LA tonight after 5 days in Mammoth…no snow bunnies but the Lakers Celtics game was epic and although i lost $200 on the over under it was well worth every penny. Tonight I am ready to see what LA has to offer and very much in need of [...]

So the three of us finally made it to Mammoth the other day and hit the fresh untouched snow early in the am. The day started off at 8 with NEMO and i having a lil power breakfast to kick start the day before we met up with TNT who is staying at the local [...]
TNT SHOK + NEMO Do Mammoth
Posted in Travel on Dec 23rd, 2008
Tnt and I woke up at 4:30 this morning packed the ride with our skis (cause we keep it real) and are headed up to meet Nemo and co. on the slopes. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little [...]
The world’s most famous shoe-thrower, Muntadar al-Zaidi, will be going on trial December 31 for “aggression against a foreign head of state.” In the meanwhile, dust off your rusty throwing arm and see how you fare in this shoe-tossing simulation….http://www.sockandawe.com/
So this is late late late…but I just saw this faucet in person for the first time the other day and it is beyond ridiculous. Plus this blog didn’t even exist when Kohler debuted Karbon earlier this year, so I get a pass. The details: Engineered out of, you guessed it, carbon fiber, Karbon is [...]
Getting ready to head back to LA in a few days for the holidays and came across this video surfing the web. Chris Tucker pre-Jacky Chan was hilarious and 2pac reminds me of the 90s when i was still in grade school… I owned 2 CDs back then and embarrassingly one of them was “Right Said Fred” and the [...]
Cool Year: The Big Picture
Posted in Art on Dec 19th, 2008
With another eventful year under our belts, the Boston Globe’s “The Big Picture” has put together 120 amazing photographs that try to sum up what life has been like all over the world (and some beyond) for the last 12 months. I chose the above picture to lead this story, because if there is one [...]
Looking for a gift for the music lover with discerning taste, look no further than the Pro-Ject Debut III from Pro-Ject Audio Systems. This sleek record player sounds amazing, plays your old 33s and 45s and and fits in perfect with your fresh modern furniture. Best of all it comes in matte black, glossy black, [...]
Check out this party in Dallas our dear friends at Centre in Mockingbird Station are throwing Friday, December 19th. If you don’t already know, or are part of the collar popped preppy Polo club crew - Centre is one of the few places in Dallas you can actually shop at if you don’t want to look as generic as everybody else. Ladies you are also [...]
Just saw Slumdog Millionaire, great flick with a cheesy ending (almost brought a tear to my eyes), but who doesn’t like a happy ending? MIA did a lot of the soundtrack and it goes well with the Indian (red dot) setting of the film. Although I think that she did a good job with “Paper [...]
Do It Like They Do On the Discovery Channel

A Simple Moosedemeanor or Statue-tory Rape?…You be the judge.

When he first started talking about interning for Louis Vuitton or Raf Simons a couple weeks ago, we were a little skeptical of Kanye West’s dreams of being a fashion designer’s bitch. But now that 808s & Heartbreak is out, homie probably has a little more time [...]
Recently I have discovered a new passion of mine: yoga. The hot kind, naturally.
Bikram Yoga is a 90 minute yoga class performed in a room heated to approximately 105 degrees and smelly as hell. Twenty six postures and two breathing exercises (each one performed twice). When I first tried it I thought it was extremely [...]
It has been raining in LA lately and I’m wishing that A) I already had this or B) It even existed to begin with (I can’t find it for sale anywhere). Nonetheless, LightDrops, designed by Sang-Kyun Park, is an umbrella that uses the piezoelectric effect of polyvinylidene fluoride to transform falling rain into electricity, which [...]
Last night gilberto and I scored a pair of tickets to the Mavs-Nuggets game and I reluctantly decided to go. Personally I am not a big Mavericks fan and I use every opportunity to bash on them….Why you may ask? Easy. They are heartless and watching them is about as entertaining as an episode of Lassie – except Lassie would always save the day [...]
Peanut Butter & Jealousy
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks on Dec 16th, 2008
You may recall my anger and astonishment several weeks ago over (gasp!) 7-Eleven’s decision to drop the PBnJ sandwich from its refrigerated snack arsenal. It was so bad my testes dropped a couple centimeters when I found out. For you ladies out there, that shit sucks.
Well luckily this past weekend a dear friend of mine [...]
Cool Curves: Perillo Chair
Posted in Design on Dec 16th, 2008
Winner of the people’s choice award at the Orgatec trade show in October, Martin Ballendat’s Perillo lounge chair is silly cool. I LOVE the wood model…there is something so awesome about seeing something so natural twisted into such a unnatural shape. Check out the Jetson’s model after the jump…

George W made an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Sunday and during a routine, “We are making progress in the fight against terrorism/those who threaten our nation/pretty much everyone” speech yours truly had a shoe thrown at him. The assailant was an Iraqi journalist (go figure) who characterized the shoe-throwing as a “farewell kiss” to [...]
So I woke up this morning to find I had received two text messages late last night from (972) 400-5060. Please feel free to call and ask if they do cleaning, gardening or janitorial work. The first message that came in at 3:37am read “fuck uuuuuuuu,” a little weird, but not that unusual if you are me, but the second text, [...]

Not Surprised: iPhone $99 at Wal-Mart
Posted in Technology on Dec 12th, 2008
I was not surprised when I read earlier this week that Wal-Mart might start selling a cheaper version of the iphone for $99. I always knew the iPhone was a cheap hooker and would whore itself out sooner or later. You iPhone lovers now have something in common with the lady who works the counter at the DMV. (WSJ [...]
