LAKERS VS KINGS AT POWER BALANCE PAVILION

2011-12-28T18:10:00.000-08:00

The Sacramento Kings debuted their black jerseys versus the Los Angeles Lakers at Power Balance Pavilion. It was called 'Blackout' since they were debuting the black jersey. Although I am not a Laker or Kings fan, I was at the game treating my family to see the Lakers play. I never really cared for the Kings but this year it looks like they have quite a squad. Those who attended the game, they received a bag that included a Black out Kings t-shirt, Kings pin, and a purple glow stick. I must say, the Kings intro was freaking tight. They shut off the lights and had everyone in the crowd use their purple glow sticks. Here's what I recorded.

This guy had the opportunity to do the half court shot to win a car at Kia but blew it but got a second chance to win something else.

SODA RACE!

Free throw after free throw.

The Lakers couldn't do it and lost the final score was Kings 100 Lakers 91. Since the Kings made 100 points that meant FREE TACOS!!!

STEELERS VS NINERS AT CANDLESTICK PARK

2011-12-21T17:40:00.000-08:00

My first NFL game and happy to see my Steelers in California.

Super traffic on the way to SF took us roughly four hours to get there!

Hoping for a delay we were still stuck in traffic as the game was suppose to begin and I get a call from someone letting me know that there was a power outage at Candlestick Park and the game is delayed! Exactly what we wanted! I learned most hardcore fans are the real older people and have no remorse for opposing team fans, no matter if theyre women or children! The game sucked the Steelers did not play like the Steelers but was still fun. Happy to see lots of Black and yellow out there!

If you ever come to Candlestick be prepared to wait a really really long time to get out of the parking lot because there is only one way out!

ROCK THE BELLS SF 2011 RECAP

2011-09-07T13:13:00.001-07:00

My first time going to Rock the Bells in the Northern California but I've actually been to the Shoreline amphitheater before. Forgetting that the parking lot is a giant field that can go on for days. The venue is really nice and the weather up here sure beats Rock the Bells in San Bernardino.

There year there were four stages total: the main stage, 36th Chamber stage, Paid Dues, & Grindtime stage. First one we hit up was the 36th Chamber stage to see Black moon.

The Paid dues stage was literally next to the 36th Chamber stage literally but facing a little towards the left to focus sound in a different direction. Either way you could still hear what was going on on either stage. Big K.R.I.T came on on the Paid Dues stage so I headed there. He's pretty HYPE!

Back to the 36th Chamber stage to check out Mobb Deep.

Then we were off to the Grindtime stage to check out the Grindtime Finals.

Up the hill was the main stage. Check what insanity the lawn looked like.

Waiting for Nas' set to start we were lucky to see Pete Rock and Primo cutting it up.

Then here comes Nas who finish his set shorter than scheduled.

Lauryn Hill's set wasn't for another hour or so, so back to the 36th Chamber stage to catch the rest of the GZA's set.

Followed by Ghostface and Raekwon. But before they came out Supernat came to rock the stage. For those of you who've never seen Supernat the first time is always fun, hype, and pretty amazing. He freestyles and does three little sets. After seeing him so many times and even booking him in the past six years it was kind of sad for us to know what he was going to do and actually more sad that none of it has changed. With three Emcees where he freestyles gives clues to an emcess he'll rhyme like turn around and spit a verse sounding just like that Emcee. Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, and Biggie Smalls. C'mon dude... mix it up a bit.

Also he does a freestyle about items that people pull out in the crowd. He's been doing this for a while and people know he does this that the very first time I seen him someone brought a cereal box and cruches.

Then it was up with Ghostface and Raekwon.

Supernat came back to freestyle the set list.

Ending the night by swinging by to check out Lauryn Hill for a song.

Rock the Bells Norcal you got a nice venue and beautiful weather but Socal show goes are way more hype and more excited for the music. I think people up here see Rock the Bells and treat it like a hippie fest more than going for the music.

WRESTLING BUDDIES

2011-08-04T20:51:00.000-07:00

I know a bunch of you remember Wrestling Buddies. They were popular during the late 80s and early 90s. Plush/pillows that resembled WWF characters. I remember my cousin use to have Ultimate warrior and we use to beat it up all the time. They need to bring these back. If you never got to see one or play with one you were missing out.

POWER106 JUMP OFF MIX 2011 BY DJ DSTRUKT

2011-07-18T09:25:00.000-07:00

[No disrespect to any DJ’s but the skill level on the radio hasn’t been the same since 90’s and early 2000’s. I know very few DJ’s on the radio that I can actually consider dope. That’s what motivated me to put this mix together. I wanted to show the average DJ that you can still paint a masterpiece with a sprinkle of motivation and creativity. This was my first mix that I can actually consider “jiggy”.

(Switching gears)

Now that it’s 2011 everyone pretty has the same playlist, and It’s not the size of the itunes library, it’s how you play your music. Mucho props to the big homies @DjEcho and @Nik_Ferrer for making this possible. Shout outs to my two crews Under the Table and BEVMO for the endless support. - DJ Dstrukt]

DISTINGUSING BETWEEN THE SOUND OF FIRE WORKS AND GUN SHOTS

2011-06-29T10:35:00.000-07:00

Never in my life did I think about how the sound of fire works and gun shots sound so alike. The very first incident of this was back in 2004, I went to a party in Fullerton. A bunch of rounds went off people freaked out while some of us said no those were fire works. In the end some kid was shot and CSU Fullerton's Greek parties were put to a halt for a few years.

With it getting closer to the 4th of July the sound of fireworks have been going off more often these past few weeks. I remember a few years back when I was visiting home I couldn't tell once again, if it was fire works or gun shots sounding off. We can always hope they are fire works. But last night it wasn't just fire works. Waking up I was told about gun fire and a confrontation somewhere around the corner. We've never really had too much of a ruckus like this but leaving the neighborhood it was confirmed by the sight of this car.

Maybe they just won't make it.

GRAFFITI x CHERNOBYL DISASTER

2011-04-27T02:04:00.000-07:00

Yesterday marked the 25 years since the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant. The near by city of Pripyat has become a ghost town since then if you ever see footage or photos of the place it all seems pretty eerie. Things are in a ruble just being left behind, toys of children lay where kids use to play, there was even a photo of a school yard where little gas mask were scattered around the place.

The lands throughout the ghost town are being taken over by vegetation. Even though it is a ghost town some people do make the visit to see the aftermath of the disaster at Chernobyl and some of these visitors have been leaving their mark with their graffiti. Photos via Alex Cheban

In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their "patriotic education." After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.

From 2006 to 2009, Kempenaers toured around the ex-Yugoslavia region (now Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.) with the help of a 1975 map of memorials, bringing before our eyes a series of melancholy yet striking images.]

Great photos.

CAMBODIAN NEW YEAR, TIME ON A RANCH, BIRTHDAYS AND THE ASPARAGUS FESTIVAL

2011-04-17T19:54:00.000-07:00

This weekend was an event packed weekend for me. With it being Cambodian new year we decided to hit up the temple in town for some food and just to go. Free parking and admission! This place was beautiful and I'll be back on another day to take some better photos :) So many people, food vendors, and entertainment for everyone.

The next day was some what crazy waking up super early for a Saturday and headed to a ranch in Valley Springs for a seminar. Great Weather and fun on a ranch can make seminars enjoyable.

Heading back to finish the night off with this crazy kids birthday.

Last day of the annual Asparagus festival and starting with a fail as we bought food tickets, FAIL!

Sold out of the asparagus ice cream :(

Deep fried asparagus

Ending it with a chicken asparawrap!

TIME LAPSE OF FLIGHT FROM SF-PARIS CAPTURES AURORA BOREALIS

2011-04-14T10:26:00.000-07:00

This is quite amazing and make me rethink how I will continue to fly. Via Vimeo & Yahoo! New, "This passenger, who set up his Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera on a tripod and attached a timelapse controller. When he pointed his 16mm-to-35mm lens out his airplane window, the result was this remarkable timelapse video of his 11-hour flight.
Taking that Great Circle route above the polar regions, the video flies us through the aurora borealis, giving us a look at those spectacular northern lights."

By far the best scene from last nights new Family Guy episode. Although I'm posting a not too HQ youtube clip it's because the main one doesn't allow embedding. BUT THIS WAS GOLD!

REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES

2011-04-10T08:47:00.000-07:00

Seen a few things about real life superheroes and finally decided to post about it. You can check out there page here Real Life Superheroes. Some of the superheroes look goofy and just over the top but I'm just saying.. I admire the fact that people want to do the great or good with everything going on in our world today so I guess let them dress up and call themselves Superheroes. Also another thing to note from a video by Yahoo! News, which can be viewed here is that if you try to stop someone breaking the law 'People who punish an alleged criminal outside the legal system are breaking the law themselves.'

I really have to those these 'Superheroes' out there though, Soundwave & Jetstorm.

For one c'mon kid you took the name of a transformer!!! Two, if they did do crime fighting on the streets (although they don't they do charity work for starters) they would get punked really hard or hurt.

Some that have commented videos, blogs, or forums about them have said they admire their ambition but someone is bound to get killed doing this.

THE BRIDGE: A DOCUMENTARY OF GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE SUICIDES

2011-04-06T09:06:00.000-07:00

I've been fully aware since I was in high school about the suicides that occur on the Golden Gate Bridge. One of my friends partners actually tried to take their own lives on the bridge is how I became fully aware of this event that has become common. Although I say common it isn't something that should be taken lightly. The Bridge was actually featured on Hulu Movies and I watched it on one of the nights I couldn't sleep.

Lots of quite quick disturbing footage of people pacing and jumping off of the bridge with commentary from friends, family, and unexpected spectators that were there to bask in the beauty of the bridge. After watching it I decided to look up a few things on the film; there has been some controversy with the film makers and city officials who gave permits to shoot footage. Noted from an article, the film was suppose to be about the bridge's legacy but as they started filming they caught more than they wanted, people taking their lives on the bridge and this soon shifted the storyline of their film.

I believe it's still up on hulu you can check it out here The Bridge.

This isn't an infomercial that I thought was stupid and thought wth... but saw it and thought is this real!? Not only because of the product that is being sold but also by the way that they pitch it, this entire thing is straight cornsville & fake-fakington. BUT it is a real thing...

LAKES GLOW AT NIGHT

2011-03-27T21:00:00.001-07:00

I've been meaning to post this a while back but have been lagging. Lakes glow at night in Australia after fires and floods.

Via Yahoo! News, "For a cluster of lakes in Australia's eastern Victoria, the combination of the fire and then the rain washed ash and nitrogen-rich soil into the water. The Gippsland Lakes experienced a rise in sea level. That caused the lakes to mix with sea water, which also raised the salinity.
This recipe led to the introduction of a species of algae called Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as "sea sparkle." The bioluminescent brew gave the water a nocturnal glow."

LIQUID TELEVISION 20TH ANNIVERSARY

2011-03-08T08:55:00.000-08:00

Sorry if you got exciting this would be a post that Liquid Television were released on Blu Ray & DVD but not it still has never been done. Although this is to commemorate the greatness of animation that was shown on BASIC CABLE, when I was a kid. I use to stay up late just to catch these with my older brother. If you've never seen it, it was a late night show on MTV (channel 11 as I remember it) that showed a bunch of short animations, from puppets, american cartoons, stop motion, live action and Japanese animation.

TR has a great post on this, The 20 GREATEST LIQUID TELEVISION SEGMENTS watch them there. I don't want to butcher up what they said because it's all awesome. I really remembered all the twisted, insane, hilarious and quite disturbing cartoons as a kid and thought, shit they showed these on basic cable and I watched them at the age of 6, AWESOME! Most notable cartoons to come out of this were Bevis & Butthead and Æon Flux. I really remembered Winter Steele because she freaked me out as a kid and I thought she was creepy. Most of the creators have continues to much larger productions, gotten big, and/or doing more independent work. I've seen many of these guys work featured in Spike & Mike's Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation.Enjoy and reminisce of the times in your life that you've seen these or just watch them for the first time ever. Enjoy.

This is a cool and fairly fun game to play online if you're big on movies. Most are straight forward and most will make you laugh while those that you miss will take you back to the movies and think "WHY DIDN'T I THINK THAT!?" Thanks Mark for posting this because now I'll continue to play here and there. You can play by clicking here.

WIENERSCHNITZEL TAKES ON THE DIRTY DOG

2011-02-27T18:13:00.000-08:00

LA is known for their "dirty dog" or other may call it an "alley dog", whatever you call it, it's the bacon wrapped hot dogs, sold on food carts on the streets of LA. You can find them in the day but more likely to find them in the evening, for us this was drunk food, after concert food, etc.

The food chain Wienerschnitzel will have one coming out soon. Seen this add hmm... would this be worthy to take on the legendary dirty dog? To most that have had the real thing, probably not.

WHO WOULD'VE EVER THOUGHT...

2011-02-21T21:29:00.000-08:00

We find a place like this... Filipino food with an amiercan twist. The place Papa Urb's Grill.

I've heard of this place from a number of people and finally had the time to go out there. Spot isn't big what so ever probably seats 25 or so. The menu consists of filipino americanized dishes, traditional filipino dishes and deserts. The prices aren't bad what so ever.

We ordered tocino sliders (tocino cured pork usually eated for breakfast), longanisa sliders (Longanisa is a sweet breakfast sausage that can be compared to Portuguese linguiça but fairly more sweet).

Sisig fries & sisig tacos (sisig is pork marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper and other spices).

Topped off with a F.O.B (coconut bread, mango & ube ice cream with fresh cut strawberries) & fresh cooked turon.

This place is quite bomb and I'll be back for more. WHO'S COMING WITH ME?!

THIS WEEK IN PHOTOS

2011-02-21T09:31:00.001-08:00

Kicking the week off with Valentines day wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be; a day full of work. Basically an entire work week to have it at that. Another weekday at Buffalo Wild Wings for a birthday and of you course you know we rolled deep 25+ with another long wait for a table. It all means one thing, we wait at the bar, get buzzed till we can eat.

Another thing that stayed constant with work this week was the rain.

In other news, word has been circulating that Borders has gone belly up. Actually since an article on this once the year started about companies that will be lost in 2011. Sooner than expected Borders announced that they're closing their doors in this town which means... you guessed it, closing out sales.

Decent deals while there's still a good selection available, I had to wait in a line for 45 minutes just to purchase my goods. Starving from work and the madness at Borders, the hommies and myself headed to Flip's for some burgers, hot dogs, fries and shakes.

Along with Allstar weekend going on we all awaited the slam dunk contest. Filled with hilarious scenarios and predictions. Then ending the week with some Papa Urb's to be continued...

A DAY IN THE CITY

2011-02-13T13:50:00.000-08:00

Off tot he City and I got there faster than expected, a day with the boo. Out in DC then headed for some Lunch at Ike's at Lime, the line was pretty crazy.. waiting for hours to wait in another line.

Lime is a lounge I guess? It was saturday and only 1pm and people were getting smaaashed, the place was so packed that all people ordering Ike's didn't get anywhere to sit. Like I said we waited in a line to order to wait in another line to get our food. I would say the food was great but I'm not sure if that wait was fully worth it because of the fact that we didn't have anywhere to sit. Luckily a near by Pete's coffee bench was free for us to enjoy our sandwiches as well as watch the people who were drunk from Lime & Barracuda sushi yack on the streets before it was even 3pm.

Just a few minutes away was Upper Playground. Parking always sucks on the streets but at least we made it there and I got to see my cousin as well as cop these shirts.

Downtown the usual, busy, busy. Hit up Niketown and a bunch of other shops around union square. But this was just too good to not take a picture with!

During dinner it rained red envelopes.

Great day in the city with my boo, see you again soon.
