Round 2.

It's on.

sometimes a guy needs to dream...

last night i wrote an open letter to joaquin phoenix and sent it to a few friends of mine. today it turned up over at mtvnews.com. make it happen people!

so i woke up this morning and was sent this...

so after shaking off a potentially nasty hangover from a long night at the king of R&B's, i was sent this:



pretty badass if you ask me. more pics will be posted later but in the meantime, check out photos and a full recap over at myspace.com/secretshows.

thanks to everyone at myspace music, tay zonday, and fall out boy for letting me do my thing in flo-rida. many more updates to come but i've been traveling a lot lately!

hi all, i will be heading down to tampa to dj at fall out boy's myspace secret show this wednesday and also spinning at angels and kings chicago on saturday night. click on the secret show flyer for more details on that and buy me a drink in chicago if you're around...

best bday ever

thanks to everyone who sent their bday wishes today. i haven't really been much of a birthday kinda guy my whole life but that has really changed today. i'm really grateful for all the great friends and family that i have. pictures coming soon. oh and keep your ears to the ground for a cool new project hitting sirius/xm radio very soon...

what happens when room service is closed at 3am?

inauguration stylee

still totally overwhelmed by how amazing this trip is so far. braved the cold and massive crowds to try and watch the swearing in ceremony in front of the capital building. even with tickets that were supposed to get us relatively close we were unable to get to the designated gate in time so we ended up watching on big screens behind the washington monument. pete was the only one of us quick enough to think about climbing a tree to get a better view:

i'll post more later but i'm about to dj a party at the historical society of washington dc!

you know what really sucks?

i hate when i come up with an idea that i think is genius, only to find out someone is already doing it or has done it.

i feel like i haven't gotten enough comments on this blog so i pose the question, what genius idea have you thought of, only to find out it's already been done?

discuss.

new year's in vegas: the final score

so here was the rundown from yesterday's trip to vegas, in order:
* won $200 playing blackjack
* checked out a $40,000 alligator bag at louis vuitton (did not purchase)
* ate a delicious dinner at the palm steakhouse
* party at pure nightclub
* 3am catfight in the lobby of the hotel (did not participate, only watched)
* lost $200 playing blackjack
* slept 4 hours, returned to LA

all in all a fun trip and there's no better way to ring in the new year's than by celebrating with your friends. happy 2009 to everyone!

and now, a special new year's installment of "when making it rain goes wrong, tyga-style"

random thoughts

just saw million dollar baby for the first time ever. yeah i know, 4 years late on that one. it was possibly one of the most depressing movies of all time, but also really amazing.

been doing a lot of driving lately and decided that i might try to take an epic road trip around the country at some point. this road trip also needs to involve as many major league ballparks as possible.

fail blog is still hilarious

decided to get a new car in 2009. stay tuned for more on that.

currently obsessed with a korean talent show called star king. if you had no idea what was going on you'd swear it was a kids show but it airs in prime time for adults! nutty.

i'm also posting...

over at a new blog that is somewhat related to clandestine industries but sort of not. instead of me trying to explain it to you, go check it out here.

mysteries debunked

growing up as a baseball obsessed kid i collected my fair share of baseball cards. one of the holy grail cards was the infamous billy ripken "fuck face" card which, as legend had it, was the result of a practical joke by one or several of his teammates.



well it looks like the mystery has finally been solved thanks to this sweet article from cnbc.com. turns out he wrote "fuck face" on the bottom of the bat himself and didn't realize he was using the bat he used for the fleer photo shoot. to make matters even more hilarious he claims that fleer "enhanced" the words on the bottom of the bat so they could be read more clearly. one less cold case for the world to solve...

cooking by the book

now that i've met little bronx mowgli i think he's at a safe age to start getting familiarized with the fine programming on nick jr. like this little gem about cooking...

kells brings it

r. kells tells beyonce what he thinks about her wanting to be a boy...

wow, i've really seen it all

do you ever troll the aisles of walgreen's on your trip to pick up toothpaste and kleenex and stop and think to yourself "boy, i really wonder if little sally isn't really mine?"

well lucky for you there's a convenient new product that can answer these questions, and more. for real.

i'm not much of a halloween guy....

...but when my sis sent me pictures of the nieces' halloween costumes it made me want to dump a whole bucket of candy into their trick-or-treat bags.

ain't no party like a thug life party...

2pac is definitely on my top 5 greatest rappers of all time list. here's a somewhat early video of him performing on arsenio hall, before all the death row records craziness that would happen later in his life. just a young, somewhat green rapper doin his thing while the homeboys shoot dice on stage. no big deal.

just let your soul glo

possibly the greatest fictional hair product of all time...

the return of terry tate: office linebacker

terry tate: office linebacker was possibly the funniest super bowl commercial of all time. glad to see he's back in action for a good cause...
