wife and coworked showing their laker spirit before today's closeout game on the road... i think their feeble attempt an "LA" sign is funny...

Have you ever tried this?

2009-05-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

These days, I've been feelin pretty sluggish... Up at 197 lbs... I am sure one of my problems is my level of alchohol intake... So here is the reults of an experiment drink... XXX vitamin water 10... End result was that it wasn't so great... Vitamin water martini... Not so much...

Let's go lakers!

Went down to SD last friday for my mom's birthday and Susan's birthday... We started at Tuscany risrtorante in Carlsbad which was pretty good... Then we went down to gaslamp w the crew.. On the top floor of the W is a beach club on the roof that's pretty sweet... I'd definitely go back

whittier... ese!

2009-05-01T10:43:00.000-07:00

on sat, i came back up to LA for Art's b-day while the wife stayed in SD... because of Sho, we had to stay close to HQ and ended up in downtown Whittier... pretty cool, low key area... ended up at a tapas bar and checked out some other places... Art went to war w/ Walter... I felt like we were in our college "im gonna make u drink till u puke days"... actually that wasn't college ... that was just last year =) .. restaurant was called Phlight... i dont remember the names of the bars...

happy anniversary!!!

2009-04-16T12:44:00.000-07:00

Well, this past weekend Annette and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary. We were thinking of going on a trip, but decided to defer that until later this year (we need to buy new carpet)... On Saturday, we decided to take a short road trip down to San Diego... we went to La Jolla and met up with Rosa... I suppose that's fitting since she was such an integral part of our wedding... actually not... but she will be remembered for giving the longest maid of honor speech ever.... not to mention she talked about Annette going "booking" at Korean clubs lol....

La Jolla was a bit chilly, but the scenery was really nice. Afterwards, Annette and I went to the cliffs... the cliffs are right off La Jolla Shores Dr... and from there you can see one of the craziest houses... I'm convinced Tony Montana lives there.... afterwards, we stopped by the Carlsbad outlets and then made our way home... it was such a nice quiet day and it felt so nice... these times are what being married is about...

mikey likes it!!!

take me out to the ball game...

2009-04-08T18:06:00.000-07:00

we went out to dodger stadium to check out korea vs. japan in the finals of the wbc... it was pretty cool because there is a large sense of national pride... sometimes too much... the guy next to us brought this great big drum and was banging it all game... i couldnt say anything becuase he was korean... too bad we lost...

uh... does your wife play golf?...

2009-04-08T18:04:00.001-07:00

the future of the lpga... clubs check... balls check... now all we have to do is turn her into a lesbian, cut her hair short, and add 40 lbs...

happy wife, happy life!!!

2009-04-08T17:59:00.001-07:00

we went to AOC winebar for the wife's b-day... i really like the eats here. didnt take many pictures as i was too busy stuffing my face... recommended dishes there are the skirt steak and the bacon wrapped dates.... afterwards we went out the gyenari (sp?) a bar in century city... apparently i was so drunk i started rubbing up on annette's guy friends as well as her girl friends... lol... i was supposed to drive home, but luckily we had greg... i yakked on the freeway, and the wife yakked in the driveway... fun times! next year, its the big 3 0 for the wife!!!

our future?

2009-04-08T17:56:00.000-07:00

get in the hole!!!!

2009-04-08T17:53:00.001-07:00

dave has witnessed our friend lil gene's hole in one... wasnt there for mine... and always wanted one for himself... part of me thought it'd be funny if years and years went by and he never got one.... but that all came to an end... skylinks golf course, long beach... i think it was around 210 yds... dave skulled a 5 wood that laser beamed rolled 30 yds, and into the hole... but not to worry 3 years from now, it will be a 7 iron into a stiff wind that checked on the green and rolled back into the hole.... congrats anyways dave, and thanks for the free beer...

i thought i'd do some catching up... life has been busy.... trying to clean out the bberry photos... here's a funny one from rosa's going away party... (i only wish she moved farther away)... the worst gift of all time was presented--- the snuggie.... even worse, the wife received the same thing for her b-day....

Playoffs! U wanna talk about playoffs?

2009-04-07T14:27:00.000-07:00

it's playoff time!!! today i received the laker playoff ticket book... i split these 3 ways, but that's cool... i hope lakers get to the finals and sweep... perhaps dave will get left out of the finals... again....

Yeah its been that long... I used to buy bball kicks all the time... The barkleys, the webbers, penny, kg... Etc... Not that I'm going to go hoop it up or anything, but I like these cuz they is low-top...

my friend art does everything... let me explain... he started with a saying, art does art... get it? (he's an artist) but then it grew in to other things... for example, his blog is art does blog... anyways... congrats to art... i guess he doesnt do baby, but ray (wife) does baby... and she does it well. they said she was in labor for 15 min, and out popped 6lb 10oz Sho Heejin Yang... Sho is a cool name... I'm already thinking of nicknames...

2009-01-15T12:28:00.000-08:00

with all my friend taking care of their kids this year, i went on a 5-day outing to mammoth with annette's crew... it was pretty crazy... a 3-5 year difference in age = a big difference in the amount of overall alchohol consumption... i can't tell you how much damage was done... here is a sample. first night was just non-stop thanks to beer pong... at the end of the night i was playing rock paper scissors for shots... luckily i won like 9 out of 10... on the other side mike j got so wasted he went a bit crazy...

falling asleep at art's xmas party means you are fair game... for example i woke last new years with a bunch of dicks drawn on my back... we were nicer this year, but it'd still make you say doh!!!

catching up....

2009-01-15T11:49:00.000-08:00

it's been a while since I've posted anything... which doesn't really matter I suppose... life's been pretty busy... the holiday season was pretty fun... it was crazy because it was one weekend after another... annette's party for her friends, art's party, mammoth, then new years... just a lot of crap going on... makes me wonder if i'm getting too old for all of this... i guess the other thing is EVERYONE i know is having kids... art's kid is due in any day... i just had dinner with tommy and jenny last night, and they are expecting as well... why don't we just do inventory....

there is...

US Airways - A big sham

2008-12-04T07:23:00.000-08:00

This has definitely been one of if not the worst trip for me... This is my awesome seat... "Exit Row" is usually good, but this sucks 1/2 my leg room is taken up by this big box....wtf? This all started last night. Flight from boston delayed b/c they were "cleaning the plane". They said not to worry that I'd still make the flight. Once the finished cleanup, they said there was noone to push the plane away from gate, but to not worry, well make it. Then the plane lands, oh... All gates full... But don't worry it will be a couple of minutes, but don't worry well make it. Then right when I get off the plane... I'm sorry ur plane has left, u will be stayin the night... Again, they live up to their rep as Americas WORST...

Airplanes

2008-12-03T13:48:00.000-08:00

Delayed on the ground because there is throw up on the seats plus I got he big man next to me. I shoulda got 50 off the ticket cuz I only got half a seat!

Ehh... Whateva

2008-12-03T13:45:00.000-08:00

This restaurant has been around since 1826... They call it the oldest restaurant in america... I have to say, the food was only alright... Nothing spec... Also, I sat at the oyster bar and there were a lot of bugs flying around. Even close to my soup... That was cool cause it reminded me of home... Lol. Anyways it was a good experience. Boston is very historic.

Shuck you!

Sandy and I went for what was to be a simple ride... Which ended up anything but... First I ate shit, and then mid way through we tried to go through a muddy area and my bike got stuck... Mud all over me... reminds me of when I was a kid in little league, where if u didn't get dirty u weren't havin fun... I tried to wash all the mud out, but this was the best we could manage. My neighbors won't appreciate the mess I left...

Orange county is a funny place. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Came to flethcher jones for a oil change. Its a pretty crazy operation they have going on here. They basically have a starbucks inside the dealership. They have a room full of wii consoles with kids, 4 big televisions sets, desks for working... Its pretty cool... Ok it sounds really oc but sometimes that kind of service is cool... I paid more for the GM and they were always assholes to me. One time I went for an oil change in tustin and he said "I can't change ur oil bc we close in an hour and I wanna leave on time"

So as I sit here drinking beer at tgi fridays next to the pitt airport, I thought I might as well post some old picks. This was from last fri at hollywood and highlands. Annette's friend designs jewelry www.madejewelry.com I think. Anyways, she threw a part to promote, but couldn't get in to her own party.... Kinda lame, we eventually got in and it was ok, but I am definitely over the whole hollywood thang...

2008-10-21T20:06:00.000-07:00

I drove 2.5 hours out of pitt to see a client in dubois pa. This is about as rural as it gets. I saw deer, cows, etc. What was really cool was the brown autumn leaves... Sounds gay, but livin in socal, u don't see that shit every day...

Downtown pitt...

2008-10-20T18:18:00.001-07:00

You know, I have to apologize, beforew I got to pitt. I imagined a bunch of run down steel mills and crap like that. Downtown is not so bad... Still, it may be ok to visit. But I'd never live here. I wonder how palamalu deals with the cold...

See ya hotlanta!
