Oliver & Company

the big anticipated day came and went. i am now 24 and i am still in debt. thank you everyone for making my day extra special. every year it seems to getting better and better. so if you didnt know, me and ron have the same birthday!

birthday week is in full effect ladies and gentlemen. its ok if you didnt make it out to any of the events or even just one event cuz its only the start of birthday week.

Friday – Landlord Jims:
rons skateboard art show was crackin. my stupid ass was too occupied that i didnt even take pictures of the skateboards! not even my own. so when i get a hold of pics i will post. there was a long line to get in. and especially for that bar, the fire marshal wouldnt have been happy.

this is my buddy buddy friend ian. he has something up his sleeves. watch out for hoey inc. thanks ian for coming out! he gave me a wad of cash-money wrapped with a rubber band for my present. it was pretty crazy.

birthday kisses are the best. especially from a blonde & a brunette, at the same time.

umm yeh. if you look at this picture, the beauty of these ladies distracts you from seeing the guy in the back. someone please send this to maxim.

she made my night.

DOMINATED.

anaballz works 2 doors down. we kinda got crazy in there. but i got the special birthday treatment. no homo.

josie playing receptionist. wait, oh yeh, she actually penciled us in for may 2nd.

after we headed to visions off market. im not sure if anyone took pictures. i dont remember the whole night. i just know i had a lot of fun.

i woke up this morning at 7am, in the back of my truck, with a quesadilla next to me. i then went to play football at 9am. it was the hardest time ever playing football hungover. but i managed. ive got another football game in another league at 550pm and its playoffs against the #1 seed.

so get some rest. lets party.

it was my first.

i learned that grand prix races are fun and overwhelming! tv never does the justice as watching in person. willy had an autograph signing for his shoe company, so me and stacks tagged along.

enjoy my photos. more will be up on my flickr later.
(not in order of actual events.)

This was a crazy turn. before the drivers start turning , they downshift from going prolly 100mph. couple of cars almost lost it. one car started to lose it but saved itself and went into the turnout. after this turn they full blast it and it sounds like jet engines.

lunch time we went to rock bottom. willy and the other skaters signed autographs for some kid and his dad bought us 2 sampler beers for making his kids day.

there was this cool bike exhibition. they were called phat bikes or something gay like that.

concept benz

the moz race. suped up lambos and porches.

jeep on 30″s

while willy was signing, me and stacks snuck into the back with our badges.

there was a stunt event on the red bull vert ramp. when you go with willy, you are always VIP. the red bull guys let us sit on top of the truck. i actually took this picture cuz the blonde in the back is gorgeous.

i spy a “W”

they will take over the world some day.

drift racing cars.

the sickest drift car ever.

farewell long beach.

i finished my skateboard!

the last time i painted was in design & mixed media in high school. my grandpa was an artist and he used to paint a lot when i was a kid and id watch. i guess painting runs in the family cuz my board looks pretty good.

no sneak peeks, youre gonna have to go to landlord jims tonizzle!

Friday the 13th plans:

1. drop off skateboard at rons
2. go to long beach with willy & posse for the Toyota Grand Prix
3. dinner?
4. landlord jims
5. turn 24

cheers @ midnight folks.

Last night, Kimtan took me and rhoda to his company suite at the padres game. i think for now on, every padres game wont live up to this one.

so along with the box suite, we got free tailgate parking. so we tailgated with co-workers with a little coronas here and straight up JD there.

next to us some guys got caught with a charcoal grill and had to put it out. pretty stupid rule so i took a picture of the tailgate rules:

1. cant drink 30min before gametime
2. no discharging or throwing of any balls
3. no hawking or vending of any goods
4. gas grills only. no charcoal

   

Let me introduce to you the Petco box suite. it was located right behind home plate. i swear it was like a freaken apartment! full kitchen, bathroom and living room! with 2 flat screens.

in the kitchen was a fully catered dinner! there were beers from last nights game so it was first come first serve.

Before the game somebody noticed bobby knight (great college basketball coach known for hitting his players and throwing chairs on the court. guy with white hair) right next to our suite.

These were seriously the best seats ever. you always argue about whos ever had the best seat but seriously this will top ever seat you sat in. we were behind home plate, with free programs, peanuts, food, and better yet, fucking padded rolling office chairs!

not only did bobby knight enjoyed the baseball game next to us, look who else visited coach… Phillip Rivers! you can see phillip talking to bobby knight.

Prolly the most funniest part of the night was when phillip was saying goodbye to coach knight and friends, right when he stood up, kimtan jumped in the air flailing his arms like a crazy monkey and yelling “PHILLIP!!!!!!PHILLIP!!!!!!”. it beats me yelling “DREW BREES!” at best buy when we saw him there years ago.

We were so close that foul balls kept coming our way:

1. the first foul ball that came to us landed a row in front of me and 2 people over. the kid caught it but it jumped out of his hands and bounces twice on the table. my stupid ass just starred at it bounce. by the time i went to reach for it the kid in front of me and his dad had their hands all over it. wasted opportunity #1.
2. the second time a foul ball headed our way, since i was in the aisle seat, i got up and tried to estimate where it was going to land. so the ball was actually headed towards me! i reached with my left and and the ball landed right in it! i literally gripped the ball in my left hand! but then all of a sudden , the spin on the ball was too much for my left hand and jumped out and went inside the suite next to us. if only it was my right hand! i was laughed at. still today, after 23 years of baseball games, ive never caught a ball. this was the closest time though. after all of this, my hand was hurting and it was burning up. it felt like someone slapped the shit out of my hand. wasted opportunity #2.

This is the guy that had a fucking baseball bounce out of my hand and roll to his feet. literally roll to his feet. and to stab me in the heart, he took a picture of himself and my ball.

thanks kimtan for my birthday present! only 2 more days before birthday weekend/week.

get ready.

I woke up bright and early this morning. since we didnt go for our midnight ride last night i felt like going for a little bike ride this morning before i go to work. i took off for Its a Grind to visit Ojay and to get the infamous turkey & cheese crossiant! i guess westview high doesnt start school til like 9 today so Its a Grind was poppin with hot youngins. yes i said it. Imaging the house of blues dance floor but in a freaken coffee shop.

Ojay was a good friend today and the crossiant was on him. no homo. Thank you Ojay for PAYING IT FORWARD.

i chomped outside since there were no bike rack, i had to use ojays car. sorry ojay.

Last night a bunch of us made it to chris’ soccer game last night at the poway sportsplex. afterwards, tk, althea, kj, and i made a visit to walmart.

Believe it or not, queso y ADOBO pringles?? WTF. kj was brave enough to make the purchase. they were actually not that bad! oh yeh, kj is back from taipei.

while waiting for tk on his shopping spree, we chilled next to the forgiving tree.

tk didnt tell us, but he must’ve wrote this note on the forgiving tree. if you dont know the story, back in high school (circa 1997-98) tk found a fuckin axe, yes an axe, in my house and went next door to erwins house and chopped down his tree and i told tk that uncle gil planted that tree and he was going to be fuckin pissed. true story.

MONDAY:
i just have to mention a part of my monday in sequential order:

1. drop of my monitor at the shop and go to quiznoes to buya sandwich and eat it outside of the shop.
2. ask fred for a ride and he skateboards home instead.
3. i finish my sandwich and go north on carmel mountain rd towards mt. carmel, by the 711 intersection.
4. i see fred cross the street perpendicular to my direction
5. i blink
6. i see fred on top of the hood of a fucking truck
7. fred gets off the truck and looks around for his skateboard as im yelling at him if hes alright.
8. i pull over along with the guy that hit him and fred finds his skateboard across the street
9. fred gets his board and skates away into the horizon.

i think it was one of the craziest things ive ever seen. but not as crazy as tj flushing my toilet with his feet in it to overcome frostbite. (true story)

SUNDAY:
spent the day remodeling the workshop. one of the most important changes i wanted within the shop was the shoe wall. and it happened

today i was google-ing american idol, sanjaya malakar because he again looked funny last night. he is in total identity crisis. last night he had a fuckin facial hair. if he wins, get ready for world war III.

but i came across this…

i went on the website and i guess all the girls were voted off except for Mau, the black looking girl above.

Today im going to the PADRES vs. giants game tonight! maddux is pitching tonight! im going to need to clean up my camera phone for tonight!

so have a wonderful wednesday. dont do anything i wouldnt do. ha yeh right.
