Why I’ll Continue to support “douche bag” clothing labels.

Mainly Affliction and Ed Hardy.
I actually love Affliction, they’re one of my top 3 favorite clothing labels. I’ve been a fan since I first saw their designs. I discovered them when I was looking for new clothing labels to wear. I didn’t want to wear what everyone was wearing so I could be at least a little unique. I started by looking at what clothing brands sponsor my favorite hardcore/metal bands, because I like supporting companies that support what I love. One that kept coming up was Affliction.
affliction_logo-300x77
Roughly a little bit later I remember when they started showing up on pretty much all the UFC fighters, so I was like sweet. I remember the first designs they had out and I loved them and I still love the them to this day. I remember being able to buy a an Affliction shirt for like $30 and that was the normal price. Then douche bags bought into it, and everyone was wearing it and it kinda took the fun out of it and I kinda got turned off for a little bit but in the end I still love the shirts, so I’ll continue to wear them regardless of who supports them or if they’re the “IN” style or not or the fact that every clothing company out there pretty much has copied their style.
When I went to their website a while back they were playing Polar Bear Club! How f’n bad ass is that.

For those who don’t know who Polar Bear Club is, that’s exactly my point. Polar Bear Club is one of my top favorite bands out there right now and it’s not like they’re a huge band.  Then I visit an actual Affliction store on Melrose in LA and they were playing Rise Against and I could hear a tattoo machine in the background and I was like wait, do you guys do tattoos here too? And the guy was like no, the Manager is getting tattoo’d in the back, haha. I was like nice.
Oh and they sponsored a NASCAR car!
affliction-00-toyota-nascar-2
Now for Ed Hardy.
edhardy
I do like Ed Hardy, I’m not huuuge on Ed Hardy but I do LOVE some of their stuff, not all of it. The main reason I’ll continue to support Ed Hardy is because its tattoos. I love the fact that they’re using tattoo art. If I didn’t love tattoos, I wouldn’t have gotten them right, lol. I wonder how many people that wear Ed Hardy actually know that Ed Hardy is an actual tattoo artist, and a legend at that. He went to the SF Art Institute and still has a tattoo shop today in San Francisco (Tattoo City) although he’s mostly retired. Have douche bags mostly ruined Ed Hardy for me, yes mostly, but I try not to let other people affect what I like and what I don’t, I try to imagine if I was the first one to see this, would I like it and I would, mostly.
Since I think the only people reading this, if any, would be people actually interested in fashion; I’m gonna take this opportunity to throw a “shout out” of sorts to my other two top favorites in my top 3 favorite clothing labels that aren’t necessarily main stream.
1. To Die For

2. Johnny Cupcakes!

I could write another blog about why, but wont.

April O’Neal

april
I really wish I hadn’t dated an April and it f’d up the name April for me. I would have liked to name a possible future daughter April after April from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lol. I’m halfway serious.

I keep seeing LA

..on TV and I miss it. I think I’m 99% sure I want to move back, but this time under the right circumstances, like having a job to support myself. I keep seeing different spots I used to drive/walk/bike by on TV like when Entourage was at the Urth Caffe in West Hollywood. This time I was on funny or die and I was looking for the new Kenny Power K-Swiss Video
and I saw something about Jewel and pranking people at a karaoke bar so I clicked on it and I know exactly where the karaoke bar she does the prank at. I used to ride my bike right by it four days a week on my way home from college in Santa Monica. I almost went into it every time but then I didn’t. It’s on the to do list when I hopefully get back lol.

Fast like a NASCAR

There’s been a few things on my mind regarding this season that I’ve wanted to blog about.
First is Jamie McMurray! What a year for him. I’ve been a fan of Jamie since he was the replacement for Sterling Marlin and won the race in his 2nd start. Since then though, it’s been hard being a fan for him lol. He hasn’t done amazing, with only three wins total as of the beginning of this season. Then this season came and I feel he’s really finding groove now. 1st he won the Daytona 500.
mcmurray-vl-t1-665
Then he starts pulling off a few top tens and wins The Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Jamie-McMurray-Burnout-Brickyard-400
Now, with two races left before the Chase, he’s only 100 points out from making it. It’s a possible for him to make it in the chase, basically Clint Bowyer needs to wreck and McMurray win a race and we’re good haha.
2nd is Aric Almirola.
aric
I think he’s the most underrated driver in NASCAR. Had he had good rides, as in a ride for a full season with a good team in Cup, I think he would have done very well, but luck just hasn’t been on his side. Now to see him in trucks with a good team, riding full time I think people are beginning to finally see how good he is. He’s 2nd in points with 2 wins and 12 top tens. I think I’ve made my point. He was asked to be the stand in for Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, legends in NASCAR, when they were having babies this season. Its good to see that Dale Jr. has hired him for his team next year in the Nationwide Series for a full season. I think he’s finally gonna be able to show his talents on a bigger scale. He’s my dark horse on any fantasy league I join.
and last and most importantly, my favorite driver Carl Edwards.
edwards09bsi-1
The season started off very rough, and that goes for all of Roush Fenway Racing, not just Edwards. Things have changed in the last month or two though, he’s had a string 6 top tens in the last 7 races and he’s 4th in points. I think if he can keep the momentum going, he’s definitely going to win at least one race and hopefully win the Sprint Cup Championship.
Do I feel like he’s undeserving to win the Championship with Harvick and Hamlin and others doing so well all season? Heck no! I remember the Chase in 2008 where it was him and Kyle Busch fighting for first in points pretty much all season, followed by the Chase and then it turned into him and Jimmie Johnson battling for first til the last few races where Edwards slipped a tad bit dropped to 4th in points by the end of the season. He was docked some points for stupid things that year and I still think that was his Championship year, he was consistent all season in the top two spots, so in a way, I feel the Sprint Cup owes him one :-)

Big Brother 12

So Big Brother is a little guilty pleasure of mine and there’s two things that keep running through my head this season.
First is Brendon is a huge tool. I have nothing against him other than being such a huge tool. If he gets evicted this or next week, I’d say Rachel was his downfall and he deserves it.
hgprofile_brendon
Rachel is such a bitch.
hgprofile_rachel
And I really try to be like Clark Kents dad and look for the best in people but she’s making it hard for me. I don’t hate her, it’s just she’s extremely annoying, not as annoying as past houseguest but definitely up there. If I was Brendon there’s no way I’d put up with her much less be in love with her.
and Second, Britney is smoking hot :-)
britney-haynes-big-brother  38651_283505964956_512094956_985751_574967_n
but personality wise, its a mix, kind of a plynus. She’s super fake but it is BB so who knows what she’s like in real life.

lol silly Britney.

FINALES

lostfinal
I wasn’t sure what to think of the LOST series finale. I know a lot of people didn’t like it but I think I did. I’m just a little confused on a few things and I’m really looking forward to when Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof start doing interviews and answering a few unanswered questions. I think I enjoyed the finale, it wasn’t the best finale ever but I still think LOST is possibly the greatest show ever. They took me on quite the adventure of wtf is going on and what’s gonna happen next, the whole show, from beginning to end. I’m satisfied. When the series box set comes out in August, I want to buy it and re-watch the whole show and make my final decision then.
walkingintolight

24 finally ended and well, nothing really special happened. It ended like a normal season. I hear there’s a movie in the works and I’m guessing that’s why they ended it like that. I posted that Smallville should also be cancelled and I got my way lol, only Heroes got cancelled with it. Now I feel obligated to catch up on Smallville and watch the last season next season and watch the last season or two of Heroes to see how it ended.

If I had to Marry a Celebrity…

And it was life or death and there was no divorcees or outees, it had to be the rest of my life. Hands down it would be Drew Barrymore.
Drew-Barrymore
Well it used to be hands down but we’ll get to that later. I know a lot of my friends aren’t fans of Drew Barrymore but me personally, I love her. I didn’t think with my dick on this one. She’s not the hottest celebrity ever but I think she’s still pretty hot and just really really cute. I love her personality and more importantly, I think we’d have a blast together. She looks like so much fun, like the fun would never end. Sure there’d be rough times, but that’s just every relationship, I don’t think they’d last very long either. Problem is, she’s kinda getting older, no offense Drew Barrymore, in the .0000001% chance you ever reads this.
27707_Julianne-Hough_003_1280x1024-Sk4tz
Now lets think with my penis. If I had to pick one celebrity to sex the rest of my life, hands down, no debates here, it would be Julianne Hough. She’s so smoking hot. She meets all my really hot girl qualities. I’d give her the rare 10 out of 10 on the hotness scale. Cool thing with her is she’s a singer now so I could be her drummer and we’d both be doing what we love together and on our off time she can teach me to dance! Only problem with Julianne is I think she might be mormon/lds. I don’t have anything against them, it’s just I kinda like to party and I’m pretty sure partying is against the mormon rules, the way I like to party anyways, haha.

Is there anything hotter than this?

Who’s with me in traveling the world for a year?!

hostels468x261
So this last week at the Santa Monica hostel has been a blast. The hostel is really nice and there’s a lot of cool things to do and just a lot of cool people you meet from around the world. It’s inspired me to want to see the world even more than I already did. I kinda want to take a break from school, even though I barely started. I feel like I have to do this while I’m still young though. I don’t want to be old and seeing the world in hostels.
Most of the people here are young, there’s a few older people and they’re cool, but they’re definitely the outcast. I came to the conclusion today that I should just see the world. I’ll graduate a year older but that’s fine. And I can possibly even go back to some places I will have visited like France and Australia when I study abroad. The only real problem C-blocking me is $$ and I don’t want to do it alone and I doubt I’ll find anyone to go with me.
First thing I have to figure out is how am I gonna afford everything. I’m thinking I’ll move back home, as much as I don’t want to move back to the Bay Area. Get a job working full time and live with my parents and save save save, for how long I’m still figuring out.
Let’s say all the hostels average at 30 a night. It can be as cheap as $10 a night in some places, but as far as more popular cities, it’s gonna be maybe around 25 depending on what kind of room you get. So it’s gonna be roughly $700 a month. Then you have to include food, lets say I do things cheap and give myself $15 a day for food, it comes to $420 a month. Next, you have to add in travel expenses like plane tickets and bus travel. I figure I’ll fly where I have to, like Australia and Europe and then just take bus/trains. Usually the max stay at a hostel is 2 weeks. I figure I’ll live somewhere new every one or two weeks. I’m gonna have to figure transportation out later when I decide for sure what I’m doing. From there, I’m gonna give myself a $100 a week for fun things, like pub crawls, tours, and other activities the hostels hopefully have.
So far the total is $1520 a month. Working minimum wage full time would almost give me the money I need, I basically would need to work 1 month for every month I want off.  Well that’s a reality check. Change of plans, I think I’ll just visit Europe and Australia.
Now I need to think of the route.
1st. Dublin, Ireland for one week
Dublin_lead_image
2nd. London for one week.
480px-London_collage
3rd. Madrid, Spain for one week.
800px-Calle_de_Alcalá_(Madrid)_04
4th Paris, France for one week.
800px-Paris_Night 5th Amsterdam for one week
Sights_in_Amsterdam2
6th Berlin, Germany for one week
538px-Assemblage_Berlin
7th Sweden for one week
514px-Stockholm_lead_image
8th Italy for one week
750px-Collage_Rome
9th Australia for two weeks.
Melbourne
800px-Melbourne_docklands_twilight
Sydney
800px-Sydney_opera_house_and_skyline

So its 10 weeks total. 4 weeks in a month, so basically 3 months. I need to save for 3 months. I think toughing it out for 3 months would be worth it. I probably wouldn’t be able to leave until next January anyway due to my whole probation thing. I guess in the meantime I can also do another semester of school. That gives me 6 months to save. I have to change my ways. I have a serious spending problem and have to break that addiction. Maybe this will be the motivation  to start learning how to save. Plus 6 months should be enough time to lose a few L B S’s. When I get back I can continue my education.

Today I didn’t even have to use my A.K.

I gotta say it was a good day. If I had to describe my day by music video, it would be Fight Fair’s Pop Rocks
I woke up this morning feeling good. This last week has been probably one of the best weeks I’ve had in Santa Monica/LA. I think it may be because of the Hostel. It’s been an adventure. So I wake up today and head to Jamba Juice to start my day with a Strawberry Whirl with a soy protein boost and a 3G charger and it was delish obviously. Oh and they were playing Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby lol.
starwberrywhilrl
On the way there I saw a random guy break into dance on the street lol. I was like what?! but ok, I’m feelin it. Then the bus was right on time lol and again, there was a girl on the bus who randomly broke into dance, and she was gettin low, I’m guessing she was listening to Ludacris’ How Low Can You Go. Also, there was two incredibly hot girls from Australia, one was blonde. How do I know they were from Australia? I overheard their accents aand this old lady started randomly questioning them lol, it was great. I went to storage to grab my gym clothes and rode my bike to the gym. It was probably the first time I’ve gone into the gym in maybe a little under a year. I got my work out on, felt great, came back to the hostel, showered, went to walk around Santa Monica and decided to get corn dogs at the original Hot Dog on a Stick.
hotdogstick
I’m not even kidding, on the way there, another girl randomly breaks into dance. It’s like the Pied Piper was following me today. While I was in line, there was this black guy on his skateboard whistling for people to like get out of way because he was coming down the hill and for the most part people moved but there was this kid who didn’t get that whistling meant get out of the way, so the skater guy accidently kinda hits him and it knocks him off balance and he goes straight into the beach sand lol. On the way back I looked for a bar that would be showing the UFC fight tonight. I saw a lot of street performances. Two drummers! and good ones. So there went my dreams of being a drumming street performer in Santa Monica lol. One place was charging a cover and everyone else wasn’t showing the fight.
cabo_cantina
Luckily I ran into Cabo Cantina. No Cover. and Rampage lost, that was the only downer the day really. I should mention that there was beautiful girls everywhere all day today. Also while walking on 3rd st. I heard the Outhere Brother’s Boom Boom Boom Let me here you say Wayoh! The night ended with people coming from the bars and I met this girl who was at the hostel, she was definitely intoxicated lol, her name was Alexa Castillo.
alexacastillo
She had some deep things to say lol. She was very intriguing. She saw my shirt
jcglowskull
and it inspired her to come up with a bikini and thats when we found out she was a fashion designer.  She’s a fan of using you as a brand, not what you wear and using clothes to express yourself without labels, or something like that. What a day.

Polar Bear Club – Burned Out In A Jar

Seriously has been my theme song the last few weeks here in LA.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At midnight my house is ablaze
I feel the heat on my hands and face
In the background of the pictures, my fingers in the fixture
It's time to stop running and race
Damn it all, I am just sad
Everything's staying as fucked up
Because all that I used to have
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug
"Home" is a tight-wire show
Lucky for me my feet don't grow
I live with hyenas who take me back eons
When we used to stay up and see the sun, say hello
Damn it all, I am just sad
Everything's staying as fucked up
Because all that I used to have
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug
Damn it all, I am just sad
Everything's staying as fucked up
Because all that I used to have
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug
I miss the times in streets where we never got tired
Laying down in the grass by the empty camp fire
Like spies on the roof as we'd watch stars expire
But the image is a million years old
I miss the times in streets where we never got tired
Laying down in the grass by the empty camp fire
Like spies on the roof as we'd watch stars expire
But the image is a million years old
Damn it all, I am just sad
Everything's staying as fucked up
Because all that I used to have
Burned out in jar like a lightning bug



My theme song the few months before moving to LA was definitely All Time Low’s Weightless.
Manage me, I'm a mess
Turn a page, I'm a book
Half unread
I wanna be laughed at
Laughed with, just because
I wanna feel weightless
And that should be enough
But I'm stuck in this fucking rut
Waiting on a second hand pick me up
And I'm over, getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over, getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here
Make believe that I impress
That every word
By design
Turns a head
I wanna feel reckless
I wanna live it up, just because
I wanna feel weightless
Cause that would be enough
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over, getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here
This could be all that I've waited for
(I've waited, I've waited for)
And this could be everything
I don't wanna dream anymore
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I've been going crazy
I'm stuck in here
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year (it's gonna be my year)
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere (go nowhere)
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear (everything I fear)
Cause I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here

Jay Seans Down = Vegas Strip Clubs, every time.

Every time I hear this song, it immediately takes me back to Vegas strip clubs last year. It’s like my official Vegas strip club theme song.
