Daily Grinding

It’s 4:44am and restlessness finds me in my sleep. … or maybe its the group of kids i hear at the pool being busted by cops.

I’m back from my short blog vacation. I’ve been busy lately with meetings and a whole bunch of side work. Since I got my camera(s) stolen, it seems like the design/web work seems to find me. I’ve been hit up left and right with web jobs and such. I guess what seemed to be a set back is actually a blessing in disguise. Thanks to those loved ones for all the moral support

Here are some photos from the past couple of days. I hope to be back here tomorrow.

This Is Gameday!

Me and kimtan officially got our season tickets for the soon upcoming season! this is pretty much like our 3 or 4th year, dude i cant even remember. but truthfully, this is going to have to be the year. There are so many expectations for this year and time is running out. You can find us in plaza 49 seats 5 and 6.

one of the 5 prime time/biggest games to go to, chargers vs patriots.

elijah, strolled into the shop in his stroller, which his is too big for, and rocked his merriman jersey. he for sure is ready for the season also.

btw, i ordered a bunch of blank tees and they came in. YES! lately ive been a fan of soft ring spun cotton tees.

Somehow i came across this ad and its pretty amusing. i bet you bill gates personally designed this ad.

Balboa Park Tuesday

After work on tuesday, i met up with some of the friend over in balboa park for free museums! It was actually pretty cool and i actually cant remember ever going to any museums here in balboa park. It was a beautiful day to go out also. Afterwards I met up to have a meeting with ian then after that met with edwin. What a loooong day.

Damaged Content

I am flattered by this security risk. so i guess kimtan (my loyal blog reader) got rejected this morning on the way to log into my blog at his work. Read the reason why they blocked me. Instead it should read “Potentially Awesome Website”. Sorry to all those readers blocked by WebSense.

Day Off Monday

Me and April drove all over SD yesterday in search for some dresses for april for VEGAS in 2 weeks! We started out in PB to otay to areo drive and ended up at sushiya to visit our homies arturo and joe. Customers at sushiya keep getting arturo drunk while making sushi rolls and eventually almost got the boot. However, just recently he got a call for Harneys Sushi in old town and will be working down over there on Aug 4th and saying goodbye to his loyal fan club here in PQ.

Marksman Target Shooting

Came home this morning to my dad and his new toy, a pellet rifle. Just like back in the days with all our bb guns. However this gun is much heavier and more comparable to a real rifle. wait, how would i know what a real rifle feels like? anyways, my dad set up target up on our hill in the backyard. I can say i was prepared for this from my previous training in Call of Duty 4.

snipe. snipe.

can you see the RED TARGET? this is the distance where we shoot from.

this is what it looks like in the scope.

target hits.

out of all of these i shot one and its the hit on the second ring closest to the X.

The Dark Knight

After holding out the beginning of the weekend, we finally watched batman! We had bought tickets thurs for the IMAX showing in Mira Mesa at 1020pm. It was the only open showing since thurs-sun were all sold out in IMAX. Thanks to costco we got our tickets for $7.50 compared to the $13 or so IMAX tickets. Jr stood in line at 5pm for the 1020pm showing and was first in line. The movie was awesome and long. Now go watch it! (in IMAX)

All knight long.

First ones.

Football Stats, Then and Now

I went back into time into my scrapbook and looked at my stats my first football game our senior year. It was my 3rd best game in my career. haha. The stats were on the saturday Union tribune newspaper and when i look back at it i find some big names that also fall into the same category as me.

1. Kellen Winslow – Miami U tight-end / All-pro tight-end of the Cleveland Browns
2. William Buchanon – 2000 all american, USC cornerback, and now receiver on the raiders
3. Robert Ortiz – SDSU wideout, signed by the chargers and now on the seattle seahawks

yeah yeah, call me uncle rico, but im still living my football career in the past but who cares.  I found myself to be on the top 25 list of the receivers out of 14 teams and 2 divisions on our sunday flag football league.

Flowers in the Yard

It was a sunny day out and the flowers were in full bloom again. I took a little stroll around the house for some cool flower shots and heres what i snapped…

Bear In There

Bear In There by Shel Silverstein

There’s a Polar Bear
In our Frigidaire–
He likes it ’cause it’s cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He’s nibbling the noodles,
He’s munching the rice,
He’s slurping the soda,
He’s licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he’s in there–
That Polary Bear
In our Fridgitydaire.
