Hello Ladies!!
good morning. its another beautiful day in the neighborhood. nothing to post except what ive been watching the past couple of days.
- LOST: wednesdays episode of LOST was blah. i hate it when they go off story. they put some random episode in that has nothing to do with last weeks episode. luckily the episode was about this hot chick, Kiele Sanchez. its the only thing that got me to watch the whole episode. shes my top sleeper pick. her and jana kramer. look her up.
- AMERICAN IDOL: america is stupid again. fucking sinjaya is still on the show and hes not even hitting bottom 3! im rooting for this girl, Haley. shes the only one that fits me. she gots my vote!
- THE HOLIDAY: is a wonderful movie.
- MICHEAL JORDAN TO THE MAX: IMAX: good documentary on MJ. short though. plus the narrators voice is the last voice youd want to hear on this planet. it was annoying!
i found this tv commercial of MJ. very meaningful. dont look at failure and let it bring you down. look at failure to help your succeed.
- Lastly. when i talked to jelynn about being on set and stuff, i asked her to take a photo with christina applegate, and she did…
christina applegate (married with children), jelynn, Jennifer Esposito (crash)
- ok ill stop bickering about beautiful ladies. have a wonderful friday. lets party! you deserve it.
Broken Back
tuesday i woke up with a stiffened back. today i felt like i was sick but i wasnt. my back just kept me from doing anything. i felt like shit all day. had 1.3 meals today. 1 nap. my eyes were stuck to this monitor. wanted to go to the gym but couldnt. i hate sitting in one spot for countless double digit hours.
talked to my ex, jelynn, from high school on AIM. shes a tv host on “The Drop” on the Dish Network and has a movie coming out called “Grizzley Park”. but she was on location for the filming of a ABC pilot “Sam I Am” starring Christina Applegate. she was actually in the trailer where they do all their makeup, fully catered, you know, everything you see in movies and tv that makes you wish you were a rockstar. yeh but she was in the trailer just talking to me. she was soaking in the moment being on set just as i was talking to her. i screwed up the relationship.
Vida on The Drop w/ Jelynn.
found myself the whole day zapping away at the Workshop team page. i edited prolly 50 pictures. the team page will be all in flash. this was the most repetitive part of the project.
i not only converted many people from pc to macintosh, but also my cat. it just shows how boring the day was. he likes my computer because when he lays on it , it keeps him warm from the heat of the computer.
worthless day. i hope to not have any more likes these days in a while. because of my nap earlier today, i been awake since 3am. i woke up out of it & out of the loop. i need to get out today. i got work from 1030-3. i need a dinner at callahans tonight. im going to take another day off from the gym for my back to heal. i want to go to the gym soooo bad.
Dating Tip:
works vice versa, am i right?
Suck it iPhone!
it prolly won’t suck but i know one thing. i wont get one cuz verizon wont carry it! im not going to switch to a new phone provider and pay with my own $$$. actually i might.
we went to the new HOOTERS in RB. i couldnt document it because i didnt have my SLR or sisters digi cam, but then again, my camera phone is locked n’ loaded w/ a fresh memory card (since verizon locks their phone from downloading music onto a memory card). so i documented the opening night@ HOOTERS.
i figured why not share the pictures that have been on my camera for a long long time?
All-star weekend in Las Vegas:
New York New York Ms. Liberty sporting the East. real jersey too!
across the street at the MGM, the lion rocking the WestSIDE!
one day visiting BLENDS downtown, the guy next door @ Bread on Market carried this cassette tape everyday with him so he could show me this old school rap group LOD from down south. he thought i was the middle guy. i actually saw the big guy on the left DJing at BELO. i showed him this pic of the cassette and he was stoked.
went with willy on a arnette photoshoot. the girl holding up the shade is Sanoe Lake (Blue Crush/JRs girl). so hot. sorry jr.
from our summer 2006 vegas trip, our hotel “The Frontier” sign. i figured why go out of the way to rotate the pic when all you need to do is rotate your face.
with willys possee all access @ the Unwritten Law concert at HOB san diego. the chillest time at a concert. we were just chillin in the dressing room with these guys like it was nothing.
i guess my camera phone does come in handy.
til next time, my back hurts…
2006 YouTube Awards
It was YouTubes first awards. i think we have potential for next years awards… some of these are gay. we can do better.
Starstruck.
it happens to me every now and then.
watching a good movie with a HOT actress really gets me. ill fall in love, yes. then get over it in about 3 days. sometimes longer. really depends on how much a movie got me involved.
we watched SHOOTER w/ mark whalberg and it was a good movie. i fell in love. this time with Kate Mara.
take a minute to see why i like her… football.
lets see how long this will last…
Game. Set. Match.
sorry for the lack of updates the past 3 or so days. i couldn’t reach my computer. it was buried under all this rubble because im rearranging my room. yes again. but i cant remember the last time i did this.
if you didnt know, i helped put willys shoes together. the design and colorways. and i thank willy for the opportunity. but a while ago we put together a high top pinstripe and croc shoes. the croc booked so good in italy that they wanted a low top croc. they made samples of the pinstripe and croc in a low top. so check out the samples.
it was another really lazy friday. i was supposed to clean my room. i would clean for spurts of 10 minutes then get sleepy and fall asleep on my desk, then wake up again and clean.
i made a trip to the mira mesa workshop. its been a week since my last visit and let me tell ya, its really molding out.
ton of people walk by the shop all the time with all the hype about us opening. these kids heard willy was inside so they possee’ed up and tried to meet willy.
MM Workshop Update!
(yes thats ron in the back)
so back to cleaning my room. a big part of my room are my shoes. i cleaned them up a little bit and i realized i have a fuckin grip of shoes. i cant get rid of them. im too attached. all those nike boxes are full of shoes. 97% dunks.
i did the best to minimize my t-shirts. it was hard. i had to throw away a lot.
Last night was awesome. i highly recommend Johnny V’s in PB. hot ladies everywhere. another drunk night. this time i tried not to pass out on the way home. but when i parked in my drive way i passed out in my car and when i woke up my parents were laughing at me. great.
cheers to an awesome night.
i picked up the past issue of mens health magazine and theres so much useful info.

My mom all of a sudden made me feel a little baller-ish. I went to my moms office today. she has spent the past 2 weeks into putting technology into her office. i wont deny, before her office was boring. only stupid magazines to read. now let me tell you and show you… 2 lcd’s per each station, one when your sitting up and one when you are laying down, 1 tv in the waiting room and 1 going in my moms office.
Each station has 2 monitors. a 23″ overhead monitor & 32″ flat panel. these monitors can be switch from the computer to the dish network. also they hooked up a wireless mouse/remote which is like a wii remote and you can control the computer. each station will be hooked up with the latest dental software where my mom can show you your x-rays, etc. when you sit back all the way, you can watch tv from the top. its pretty crazy, it seems like you are watching tv right side up. its also helps my mom when the patients head is tilted up when your laying down and the tv makes you do just that.
Station #2
in case you were looking for a dentist, call 858.538.5280 for an appointment and let them know you were reffered by ollies blog and you will get star treatment, oh and an extra toy when you are finished.
i ran errands all day. after my moms office i went to frys to by cables and stuff to hook up my tv in my room.
met up leo and rae to introduce rae to my friend mac. rae bought a new black mac book at the apple store. went to rubio’s for din din. 99 cent fish tacos! thanks rae!
i went home and spent the whole night trying to install my tv wall mount and watch american idol.
My computer is also hooked up to my tv. awesome resolution
my desk is a fucking mess.
but i like it.
netflix movies to watch:
1. flags of our fathers
2. the science of sheep

Prince of Theives
do you have a scent that every time you smell it it reminds you of something, a specific moment or time?
The night Prince past away, there was this aroma or scent, not bad but a certain scent. Its weird because every now and then i will take small whiffs of the scent walking around my house. It happened again couple of days ago. the only thing that i could think of is the day prince past away.
this whole pet food recall is kinda bugging me. the symptoms of kidney failure and death only make me think if prince is related. i saw a post that said costco dog food wasnt part of the recall. thats what we fed prince. but as i noted in the email i posted when he pasted away, his sickness was “all of a sudden” and this was right after thanksgiving sometime. the recall was food from dec 3 – march this year. he stopped eating, increased water consumption, vomiting and diarrhea. all the symptoms of the recall. its all too late anyways.
its a little too quiet at home. i miss prince…
enjoy the new music player…
(might not last long. kinda whack, you cant scroll the tracks)
Tiger Sunday

The best golf shot ever.
Tigers tricks. i like how he ends it.

Green Beer
Friday night we ch-ch-chilled at Laguna beach. it was a joyful night. we played cranium. chris and tj busted out a one act, in chinese. and i kept waking up to tj rapping about molesting me.

Some of my Platt College projects i found:
apple flash ad banner
UNIV x Brave x Vapor Studio
3 happenings and next door to each other. Lets cut to the chase.
UNIV SHOP
univ is a skate/concept shop in encinitas. the workshop & UNIV are family. take a look at the craziness!!
This is allan and joe. allan helps run the shop.
BRAVE ART SHOW
the brave art show was next door to UNIV. 6 rooms of pure art. one of the best art shows ive ever been too. it was strange because a lot of the people there were old people. imagine your mom and dad at a art show. i highly suggest checking it out. its on til sunday. well tonight was opening night.
IRONS
BIGFOOT
BRAVE art runs the “mold a famous persons boobs & have a famous artist artsy fartsy them out ” charity
HAZE
SHEPARD FAIREY [OBEY]
friends forever
VAPOR STUDIO
to the other side of UNIV is a graphic design firm called Vapor Studio. They do very intricate work. from designing shoes, to toy guns (Crooks & Castles), furniture, to custom bikes (ill explain in a bit).
this is Enirie (sp.?). hes allans brother who works next door at UNIV. he is a very nice person. hes very percise with his work. at one point famous artist, andy howell joined us and was very intrigued by eniries sketchs. his product sketchs were so sweet and could be art pieces themselves. willy and andy had a moment talking about skateboarding in the ol days. andy said that every time willy entered a skate contest, everyone would be like ‘damn willy’ cuz they knew their chance at winning was done. and sometimes im just in awe that im in the same room and famous people and artists alike.
any ways, below is the workspace of Eniries. it was incredible! he had sketches, magazine ads, stencils, etc. it was a photo moment.
Heres a sketch of one of his projects in the works. he was called up by PEPSI to make a custom low rider bike. here is the first look >>
That handle wrapped in the towel in the middle is the brake lever.
I felt honored being able to take photos of the bike in production. the bike is going on a 16 city tour.
in front of UNIV there were some peeps jammin! they looked like they were having fun. i wish we could be a little more musical.
ok, so i was standing at the corner just scoping out the girls and all of a sudden i see this dude eat it on his bike and to make it worse, he laid there for like 5 min.
Jameson
what a super fast day. it went something like this…
woke up at 11 to beautiful weather. drove to the shop and packaged a few things (including the shops 1st online order). dropped them off at the post office. im a regular at the post office. i can tell you about each teller, whos slow, whos easy to work with, etc. one of the head guys knows my dad from the carmel mtn post office. went to the gym. took photos for workshop site. shop at stater bros with allan. spent $30 on 8 lean cusine meals, 12 bananas, 1 liter of berry punch, and 1 chicken strip. helped load like 10,000 new shop bags into the skate mobile. had a l. cusine meal while watching the 2 hour american idol from monday night.
hmm. what a bad night for the top 12 contestants. haley looked HOT but forgot all her words. we got JT wanna-be dancer/singer. sideshow bob/cold play. it was just ugly.
i watched true life hollywood on E! it was the 2 hour episode of jenna jameson! it was an awesome episode! i just remembered i skipped AI!!!! ha! Oh man, i would love to love to be in love with jenna. a few things i picked up in the 2 hour episode …
- dropped out of school @ 17
- pretended to be 18 to get a stripping job. manager said come back when she gets her braces off. she came back the next day and found herself on the stage that night. her bro pryed her backets off her teeth
- she made $2000 a night at 18 years old
- got her name from looking in a phone book under the ‘J’s’ to match jenna. first thought jenna james but was too porno, but under it was jameson and thought about the whisky.
- first 3 way video was called “cherry pie”
- married twice and had second husbands name tattooed under her ring. they divorced.
the CHARGERS got a uni makeover. i like it. well im going to have too. the chargers way to increase jersey sales. damn it. jerseys already on sale but im gonna wait for the $200 authentic jerseys.
im going back… one day i was at the apple store to visit the genius bar. as i was waiting, some guy came up to me and ask randomly if i like streetwear and art. i was like WTF? he said he noticed by the shoes i was wearing (i was wearing my marc jacob vans). he told me he was some owner of this traveling art show with the likes of like shepard [OBEY], jeff soto, haze, etc. i was just going with it. but he gave me some dvd about this artshow. and went our ways. but as a matter of fact, this art show is in town! its at the UNIV shop in encinitas, and the opening night is tonight! i will be rolling with willy & what ever possee comes along.
so with that sed. i pretty much have my day set already.
- sleep at 230am
- go to the gym at 8am
- work at 1030 at the workshop
- visit & help out at the workshop MM (if needed)
- BRAVE art show @ UNIV
- Arnette party at la jolla brew house
if you reach this far. thanks for reading. goodnight/goodmorning. no all-nighter tonight buddy!
3 in a Row
it wasn’t suppose to happen.
i didnt sleep for the 3rd night in a row. when i have something on my mind and focused, time doesnt exist. this time i just re designed my blog. i took one of the template blogs and customized it to my likings. i found this dope scroll pattern i can custom color. i just felt like a black, dark mood.
this is what im working with when i do a website. you have the coding on top and the design on the bottom. the bottom has all this funky words because that language processes all your posts. its a more complicated code, different from your html coding, its called PHP.
yesterday breezed by in a jiffy. i went to the gym in the afternoon and had some crazy workout. i bought this super crazy energy drink call ‘hallow point’, kinda like a redline but better tasting and cheaper. youre only supposed to drink half the bottle until you find your tolerance and can only consume 1 bottle every 24 hours. i downed the whole bottle with only 2 bananas in my stomache.
sometimes after a good workout you feel like treating yourself to something ‘good’ to eat. when i say ‘good’ that means bad. me and chris went to L&L’s in MM. the santos’ were all at the new Willys Workshop (right across from L&L) cementing holes, plastering and painting walls. after grubbin me and chris just kicked it and helped out a bit. it was SO dusty that shalihes hair looked like it had snow on it. peaced out at 945ish or so.
from the moment i got home, i think ive been on this computer and i dont even remember what ive been doing this whole time.
ok. i need sleep.
ill leave you with this comparison of the pre & post production for 300 the movie. incrediblé! Also part II of the macintosh old school commercials from the 80′s.
1985 – “Lemmings”
Based on the amazing success of the 1984 ad, Apple decided to produce another ad the following year. This is the result…lightning did not strike twice, and the ad was very controversial for it’s depiction of Office users falling to their deaths.
have a splendid wednesday! oh crap, LOST tonizzle!
