Hold'em!

Monday October 24, 2005

Wow another uneventful day until later on in the night. I mean its a Monday.. You cant really expect much. But ive found myself to have much more fun during the week than the actual weekend, like normal people do.

I just feel like my mind is just rotting away. From starting at my computer screen and watching tv shows and such... I need to start reading more and stimulate my mind..

Anyways... Jovana calls, shes at work and gets off at 10ish.. My mind is only failing me, and making me sleep. Maybe its just my lazy tendencies when i have nothing really planned for the day besides errands... I get ready and head on over to the Gap.. Oh yeah.. She tries to buy me, by purchasing me a Gap scarf. HA!! yeah right! Gap clothing is such poor quality. When i feel the shirts compared to my Express ones.. Ehh.. However i do like the scarfs from Gap.. Anywho!!

Meet up with her, and we try to find out where we want to have some dinner. Mind you, its 10:30 and nothing is really open. Chili closes at 11, the restaurants at the mall are closed... The typical option is Dennys, and thats a very poor one.

I throw out the idea of Dolce.. I was kinda craving it.. However i called over there and the kitchen closes like at that very moment and the bar closes at 12... Totally sucks.. So we just decided to check out Fatburger.. I didnt even know it was open, but Jovana reassures me it is. If its not open, then hey Bostons is right there..

Head on over there, it is open but closing... Well i know where im going to lunch.. I cant believe we got one, its kinda funny since its typically known for being a Los Angeles bases fast food joint.

Went to Bostons, got up into the bar... I heard about the poker game they have for the bar patrons. You get this little computer console, where you play Texas Hold em on against other people in the bar. A flat screen above the bar is dedicated for just that. I noticed a guy at the bar playing, he had over 23000 bucks, and honestly he seemed like a regular. I wanted to take him out, and while doing that, have my name on the high score list. Yes, i know.. I am pretty vain like that..

Long story short.. After losing twice because i was messing around. I decided to play smart and forreal. While i was playing, Jovana was too and learning.. i wasnt too worried about her. It took me about 2 hours to finally beat the guy. After a few good hands.. and going on in.. I finally beat him!! I was glad.. He was pucking me, raising before the flop. Friggin Jovana, i wanted to say good game to him, but she was like dont... He looks sad.. i hope he doesnt know it was you that was playing.. HAHA..

I wanted to stay there until it closes to make sure my name was on record, which it was.. Boston just plays the best music... I figured it was XM Radio KIIS FM station... So yes... My score of over 45000 with my name was up there..

I would say it was a good way to spend a Monday night.. Over 3 hours eating some food and playing some poker... Yes, we did order some food. Im trying to eat light so i got me a salad... I would love to go back to Bostons and play against some other people or with friends while drinking..

I challenge anyone!!!

Last Saturday October 22, 2005

Hurray!!! Highlight of the Day will be the Dane cook comedy show tonight.. Earlier in the week, on Monday.. I was wanting to go to the Katrina Comedy Benefit with him, Jay Mohr, and a few other people. However the people running it wasnt looking for someone from a small media outlet. So this was going to make up for it.

Pretty another day of boredom!!!! Well it got better when it was the evening... Lame ass Nohemi had to go to the mall to get a gift and buy some perfume for the night.. I picked her up and we headed over there.. Wow it was soo crowded.. Then again.. There’s NEVER anything to do in Rancho... So they all come out to watering hole... The central effin watering hole.. Oh ok.. Heres my theory.. If you go to the mall, you are there for more than 30 mins and don’t shop and buy anything. Also if you don’t eat at a restaurant, the food court doesnt’t count.. You are a Mall rat.. No if and or buts about it..

After driving around like mad to find a parking spot. I just dropped Nohemi off at Yard House.. Found a parking spot. Headed off to Coffee Bean to get a Strawberry and Cream Green Ice Tea. YUM!! Met Nohemi at Robinson May, where she got the Britney Spears Fantasy.. Im not a huge fan, i prefer Paris Hilton's scent. I made sure we ran out of that place as fast as possible. So i just power walked it, while she just lagged behind. Cant blame her since she was in heels or whatever..

We made good time.. Whenever i head over to LA. I like to stick to a schedule and such so i don’t get effed over.. Left Rancho at 7.. OH!! While headed to the Victoria Gardens..Nohemi came on testing me and got on my nerve. Ive never felt someone so much on my nerve EVER!! Like i got sooo peeved that i just told her she better just chill the heck out, or i was going to just take her home.. I am usually a rational person, but when i get pushed too far.. Man O Man.. Well i know i calm down when i play some music and sing along. It relaxes me so dang much!! Just turned on the Ryan Cabrera, and we were on our way..

Got into Los Angeles around 8. I wasnt’t too sure where we were going to eat. I wanted to get into Beverly Hills to check out a few restaurants.. Time was a little strained, so i just rolled into Hollywood.. I wanted to check out Geisha House, but i wasnt’t too sure on the wait and we had to be at the Laugh Factory at 9:30 to pick up tickets and what not. I just exited Hollywood Blvd, if it was crowded, we could have headed off to Hollywood and Highland Complex to eat at California Pizza Kitchen or the Wolfgang Punk restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel...

Man i hate driving on Hollywood Blvd... Literally takes a good 20 mins when you exit the 101 to even get to the Kodak Theatre. BLAH!! Finally made it to Cherokee and parked right across the street. It was getting a little foggy over, i love it. Winter is coming!!

Headed on into the Geisha House.. I was hoping it wasnt too crowded since i didnt make any reservations and didnt have the number to call them. We were in luck. There was room at the Sushi bar. I would have preferred to sit in the dining room, since there is much more to see and observed. However we were in a hurry and beggars cant be choosers.

Geisha House Sushi Bar

Since i am the Geisha House conisuier. I ordered our dinner. I wanted to get some Sake and some raw fish. However Nohemi isnt really into it. So if any of you are out there that is into it.. Im soo down to roll.. So we get the Robata-Yaki beef skewers. Robata just means cooked in an open flame. It was Filet mignon, asparagus, salt, pepper with a Teriyaki glaze. That was some good stuff. Mixed Tempura.. Usually zucchini, shrimp, peppers, and sweet potatoes. Then some Calamari. The sushi.. Over the Rainbow Roll. which had Salmon, Yellowtail, tuna, albacore, and shrimp. Then the Hollywood roll. Crab tempura, avocado and cucumber. Nohemi asked for a California roll. That isnt sushi.. If you go to a sushi joint.. and get California roll.. Dont claim to eat sushi.. Speak the truth and say i got a California Roll at a Sushi place and not i went for sushi.. Just a peeve..

Ok ok.. So I figured out why the first time I went to the geisha house and didn't like it. It was after the Alicia Keys at the Kodak theatre. I was feeling really sick all week long and after. I figured my taste buds were just screwed up. Why? When I ate the over the rainbow roll... Omg the fish just melted in my mouth... Its the best sushi I've had... I really wished I got some sashimi... Oh well! Even way better than Sakana in Upland... The best so far.. However I haven't been to Koi, Katana or Sushi Roku...

Well it was around 9:40.. We were rushing out of there because we were told we had to be at the laugh factory at 930 to guarantee seating or whatever.. Towards the end of dinner, the Geishas were out walkign around. They were pretty tamed and clothed, not like the first time i was there when the house DJ had a see through nighty with her wearing a thong. =)

The Geisha House got hella crowded around the bar area. Hella grip of Asians standing around doing shit and not even holding a drink. I guess the tour bus just dropped them off... Just kidding.. Don't be mad asian visitors... =)

It was sprinkling outside a little bit. It was soo nice... In the city of angels with the weather I love.

Got up onto Sunset Blvd, not daring to take Hollywood Blvd.. We made it to the Laugh Factory and dude!! There was soo many people outside.. Im not good with numbers but i say there was over 150 people chill outside in a line.

I was driving all over the place and neighborhood to find a parking spot. With luck, i ran across a valeted car being taking away and there opens a perfect parking spot. You are never that lucky.. Especially on the weekends in friggin West Hollywood...

Walked on over... to the long line.. I wasnt even sure why it was soo long.. Then again.. It is Dane Cook.. We walk to the back, and just stood there.. I was wondering, was this line for the Will Call, where my tickets were? Or just line of people.

Eventually i figured i had to go get my tickets at will call.. Which i did.. I had a vip ticket and a general admission ticket.. Great... The Vip ticket allowed me not to wait in that stupid line, but i couldnt leave Nohemi behind. I went back and gave her the choice of going in first or waiting... I mean cmon, its not a hard choice.. Though it did take her forever to decide.. She took the ticket and headed to the entrance.

While i was standing there.. These middle aged woman were bitching and moaning how they were waiting in a line. How they shouldnt be waiting in line because they had reservations. I catch wind that they didnt even have tickets. So i talked to one of them and gave them my best explaniation of the situation. I said even though you have reservation, it doesnt mean anything. You didnt come early enough, plus you dont have any tickets. So a few of them went to the front to go bitch some more. One chick who was holding a coke can, which i was sure filled with some whiskey, came up to me and said, thanks for fucking up my buzz.. WOW.. i was like.. i think yall stupidity and lameness fuck up your chance to get in. Of course i didnt say it outloud.. I am so passive aggresive sometimes, its horrible.. You are looking at a never honking or bird flipping California driver.. Isnt many of those..

After waiting inline a bit. Nohemi calls me and tells me they are letting people in with tickets. Shoot... I ran up to the front as fast as possible..

We got in pretty darn quick. The door dude was yelling out that people with tickets can go to the front. So i take it pretty much everyone who was out there didnt have a ticket to get in. I dont really get why they were waiting out there. Maybe a chance to purchase a ticket.

Went on into the place and wow it was small. However it was a little bit bigger than the Improv in Hollywood. Since we have one VIP ticket, the seat sat us in the front. Just about 4 rows of seats back. Good stuff!!

Tony Rock was the host of the night. Before i get to him. There was this chick sitting behind us. I SWEAR Ive seen her somewhere. She is soo pretty. Its like this white chick with wonderful eyes and full lips. Honestly i know ive seen her somewhere, and I was fighting every urge to talk to her. Asked her where ive seen her or something. The whole night i kept on looking back.. well not during Dane Cook's set. But yeah.. So so pretty!!

Tony Rock.. Opening dude. He was a black dude and his jokes pretty much only consisted of racial jokes. Surprise? Not really. There were these two dudes in the front who was trying to hassle him. It was totally annoying. I get that you want to have fun and enjoy. But being stupid and dumb is just retarted. They were trying to get attention. There was a dude who just met some chicks there named Daniel. A politian from Washington, like a Young Replication type group i guess. Pimping the chicks. Another subject for Tony was some chicks birthday and her friend who had a boob reduction. Fun!!

First comic, Jo Koy. Funny guy. You might have seen him on VH1 I Love the 80s 3D. Hes the one with the blad head. Anywho.. He had some funny jokes about kids and screwing. What made me laugh the most of the jokes about Phlipinos, about how they speak. He had a joke about they are obsessed with Karoake. How his father cant speak English very well but when he sings hes speaks it perfect. I foudn it funny because i have a lot of Phlipino friends and ive experienced the parties and such..

Up next... Butch Bradley.. i didnt find him that funny, but Nohemi found him totally hilarious. He was joking about scary movies and such. Not too much to get me going. I was just waiting for the Dane Train!!

Dane Cook!!! First let me talk about the Dane Cook hoes. You know.. The chicks who jock Dane Cook because EVERYONE else is. I aint going to lie, hella hot but also rude. It was just kinda funny. So Dane comes out and i gave him a high five. He rocks!! Hes kinda bumming it recently. Saw him on Too Late with Adam Carolla the night before and hes just dressed up in sweats, t shirt, and hat. Tonight isnt any dif. Abercombie Sweats, Colbey T shirt and a Hat.

He had a long long set which i love. I was hoping he didnt do his material from Harmful if Swallowed or Retaliation. His comedy CDs. He didnt do any but like 3 minor snippits of jokes to segway into other jokes I love it!! Ive seen him before on the Dave Attel Insomniac tour! He was talking about relationships and movies which was totally funny!! Everything he said was just plain funny. You guys have to see him when you get a chance.. You just have too!! I am planning to go see him in Vegas at the huge ass Comedy Fesitival!! My title of this post wont make sense to most of you, however go to his show and youll know what im talking about!!

After Dane was done, the Dane groupies ran into where his dressing room was. Highly expected!! haha.. Dane came down the aisle and he shoulder blocked me.. ASS!!! haha jk.. He did though, but its all good!! I wanted to stick around because Dane stays back after his shows to hang with the fans and do the usual autographs and what not. I didnt want to seem like a huge groupie!!

Anyways.. Left.. I wanted to club it up afterwards. It was barely like 1130ish. Then i smelled the street hot dogs!! I was wanting it but my only rules for getting it is that you get a dog after a night of clubbing. You cant leave LA without it!

America's Top Hotties!!

Wednesday October 19th, 2005

Long long day today... Tyra Banks Self Magazine Celebration party at The Lodge in Beverly Hills. The Lodge, apart of the Dolce Group. The group is own maybe from a few names you might have heard Ashton Kucher? Wilmer Valderrama? Chris Masterson? Danny Masterson??? Maybe you’ve heard of the restaurants? Dolce? Geisha house? There new little sister restaurant to Dolce... Bella? Well i think its called Bella Donna. Not too sure! Anywho. I was excited to go to the Lodge, since ive eaten at Dolce, which is Italian.. Geisha House, which is Japanese... and The Lodge is the steakhouse and what not. Anyways!! before I get into details.. Brief cliff notes of the events prior in the day...

Hit up the post office... then the bank to deposit a check. Decided to chill somewhere to kill time before i had to head off to Beverly Hills. I hit up Jesse, and off on our way to Henrys! The place i almost got rolled by the cops for dancing a week ago
.. We made a pit stop at Jesse bank, so he can deposit his check, the teller dude that was helping him seemed very interested in his state of health. Jesse was losing his voice from a cold or whatever and yeah.. i just found it really funny..

Anywho.. Headed on off to Henrys.. Picked up a few things. ALMOND BUTTER!!! If you love almonds, or just even like them.. You’ll love Almond Butter.. Just think Peanut Butter but with almonds instead of peanuts. However that junk is pretty expensive.. About 10 bucks a pound, and they home in like 8 to 9 bucks containers. Its really fresh with no preservatives and such... Well was there for over 30 mins and it was getting close to 5 and i got to be in Beverly Hills at 6ish.

The usual drive off to Los Angeles i always take week in and week out. However i often have a carpool dummy along with me, this time. Took the solo route since i was pretty much spending my whole evening down there at two events. Plus usually i do last minute things and its hard to find friends that flexible. I just throw it out there for someone to come with, if not whatever. I like it much better alone, since i only have to worry about myself and not making sure someone who is with me is having fun or not. And its a whole lot easier to meet people. People are a lot open to talking to you and i am open since i don’t have to focus on someone.

Traffic wasnt’t too bad. Took about an hour to get into Beverly Hills, and I just was listening to the new Ryan Cabrera. Wow Beverly Hills was soo crowded. I am use to just the streets where the houses are and Rodeo Drive. Not like the main streets where all the restaurants and stores were. There was just way way too many cars, and i passed the Lodge. I had to make a turn, which got me stuck into another turn and took me like 10 minutes to finally backtrack and get into the restaurant. Good Luck finding parking without valet. I was lucky and just parked at the Citibank ATM parking lot where there was only about 10 spots. At this point, it was 6:30 and i thought i missed the arrivals.

I went to the entrance, and i was on the list and they guided me in to the red carpet, which was inside. Pretty much nothing was even going on yet.. They just placed me in a random spot like they always do. I was standing next to Stanley from Shooting Star. Not too sure what they do, which I will have to look up and check out. Melissa from the PR Firm is pretty cute, I swear ive seen her somewhere besides events she puts on. While waiting, they brought around Hor D ‘orves. It was a little piece of steak with a creamy sauce. That sauce was sooo rich, and the steak was perfect.. You barely even had to crew. It was sooo good... Man i wonder how else the food is there. Imma go eat there pretty soon. Maybe after a day of shopping at the Beverly Center...

Constantine from American Idol was the first to show.. He is quite quite tall. Rex Lee from Entourage showed. He plays Ari Gold (Jeremy Priven) assistant. I love the show.. He was wearing a lime green shirt, I was thinking to myself. Good thing i didnt decide to wear the same shirt.. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Noah Tisby,Charity Shae,Chaz Brewer were some of the others. There were more, but i dont do good with no names really. Jennifer Finnigin, such a cutie. She was on the axed NBC show Committed. I really liked her in it. She had this cute little nasally voice. Haylie Duff.. kinda rude to be honest and soo not cute. Her and Hilary looks like they fell into the ugly tank recently..

Then finally Tyra Banks.. After like being told she showed up but was getting out of the limo.. She did the carpet.. Of course she had her camera crew from her television show follow along. By gosh, Tyra banks is tall!!! Said to be around 6 feet 2 inches or so. Dang is all I gots to say. No wonder she is a supermodel... She did the carpet very short, and ran to the Extra and E! correspondents to do questions on camera. During this, her camera crew was taking some B Roll of the place and had the camera around me and the other photographers. I really hope it doesnt air on her show.. If any of you guys saw her show at the Self Magazine party thing, saw a dude with a camera and a Beatles shirt.. That was me...

Anywho.. After they came.. The last couple of guests.. Lacey Chabert.. She is sooo adorable!! And a sex kitten at the same time.. While Lacey was doing the carpet.. I saw Allison Munn.. from What I Like About You. I like the show and i wanted to take a few photos of her. She was suppose to since she was on the Media Alert, but they didnt’t bring her over. Oh well...

The carpet was pretty much done.. And it was getting around 8 o clock.. I exchanged numbers with one of the dudes who was shooting for Power Magazine. He graduated from USC Art School which was impressive. I told him i wanted to go there, and she said i shouldn’t because its a waste of time. I wanted to stay there and check out the restaurant, mingle, and have a few drinks and more food. However i was pressed for time, since Ryan Cabrera was going on at 9, and Click 5 was playing at the moment. So i ran out of there as fast as i could. But not without rubbing up to Tyra Banks... I wanted to touch her.. Im sure you guys are thinking in a disturbing way, but in an appropriate manner... Again, can’t believe how tall she is. She is gorgeous.. As i was walking out... It was pretty hard to walk out of there, without rubbing some more elbows.... :(

Off to the House of Blues... Just a simple drive up La Cienaga.. I passed the Beverly Center.. I couldnt’t believe how BIG the place is. I’ve never been there to shop before and i most definitely will someday soon...

I made pretty good time. Got to the House of Blues around 20 minutes until 9. Parked over at the Hyatt, walked through the hotel, and outside. This time decided to take the crosswalk.. Since the last time id ran into the Sheriffs. Passed by one of my favorite restaurants.. Justin Timberlake's CHI. I noticed the CHI sign wasn’t up there.. Hoodlums these days.. Got my tickets at the will call, walked on in. Click 5 was rocking out the place. The place wasn’t as crowded as it was when Ashlee Simpson was playing there... I have the Click 5 album, however didn’t listen to much of it yet. I do like the song, "Pop Princess." I proceed to pull out my camera and take some photos. I haven’t cleaned out my compact flash cards, and i still have Comic Con, Black Eyed Peas, and Ashlee Simpson photos still on there. I had to delete a few to make room for the Tyra Banks party and for this concert...

Click 5 puts on a fun fun show.. Very high energy and such.. After hearing a few songs live, i wished i was there to see the full set. The bubblegum pop was fun to listen to.

I ran into Amy from Ryan-Cabrera.com and chatted briefly with her. I checked out the photo pit and of course yet again.. There was none, the fans pushed the barricade up to the stage. This time i was smart, and said screw it. I decided just to shoot around the place, from my experiences at the Ashlee Simpson concert.. Security is pretty lax on the photo pass rules..

Theres some actual seating in the House of Blues. However its blocked off my a big security guards, i figure you gotta know someone or have money to sit there, so you dont have to hassle with general admission people. The dude that was in charge allowed me to shoot photos in that section as long as i wasnt in anyones way. Perfect.. Combined with my telephoto lens, i should be ok.

The show started with snippet tracks of what i think was "Good Vibrations" by CNC Music Factory, Jackson 5 "I Want You Back" and Snoop Dogg's "Nuttin But a G Thang." Found that rather odd but irregardless. Ryan came on stage with a piccolo and went right into, "Hit Me With Your Light" On stage, they had these little lights in what looked like a small tree. While singing the song, i was like, why isnt the lights on?? This is gonna screw with me taking the pictures.. However, right when he got to the first line of the chorus, which was "Hit Me With Your Light" and right on "light" the stage lights illumminaded.

Heres the set list...

Hit me with your light
40 kinds of sadness
Photo
Our story
Fall baby fall..
From the start abruptty played in to "True" which sang a verse in Spanish.
Walking on water
Exit to exit
Paul simon.. You can call me al..
Find your way
On the way down....
Its you..
Shine on...

Throughout the whole show. I was running around. Honestly.. I love running around trying to find different shots. I was in that VIP section, all the way in the back of the house, near the sound engineers section, down in the pit. Only place i didnt go was the second floor. I would have had some awesome shots, and maybe even got to hang next to Ashlee.

Oh.. i didnt say huh. While i was hanging out in the VIP section before Ryan got on stage... People were cheering and looking up. All i saw was blonde hair and i so knew it was Ashlee Simpson. It made me laugh to myself so bad. Actually I was laughing out loud too. I took a few photos, hoping to get a shot. It was dark most of the time until the show started and i got a few decent shots. Looks like Ashlee loves her red wines, saw her empty a few glasses during the show. Also i found it funny but then again kinda cute that Ashlee was like hugging herself when Ryan was performing his ballads.

I found his acedotes a little weird. One was about a nipple game where you flick someone elses nipple as hard as you can. It landded him in the hospital where he had to explain it to his treating doctor.. Very minimal laughs here.. I did find the two occusions of panties being thrown on stage quite humorous. They werent granny panties.. one was straight up frully pink and black thong and ther other i want to say it was pink.

Two songs i wanted to hear him sing were "Find Your Way" and "Its You." He introduced "Find Your Way" the way i felt the song meant, which was, when you are in a weird situation with someone you care for and dont know what to do. I had to take time to sit down, and just enbrace the song. Of course it made me think of someone... BLAH!! Lets not get into that... and "Its You" My second favorite song off his new album... I took the time to record the song onto my cell phone.. Another song thats just very mushy and such.. Kinda got me a little teary eyed.. Just one of those songs..

The show ended with his first single, "Shine On." I never really liked the song when he performed it on TV and such. But tonight it sounded really good and i liked it....

After the show was done.. I left right away.. I hit up Amy to see if she was hanging with Ryan afterwards. If she was, i wanted to come with, but she wasn’t.. I decided to unwind and went in to the pizza place right next to the House of Blues.. Pizzeria Rustra or something i think it was called. I went in, and I noticed this Asian dude chillin.. I look at him a little bit longer than i should and he looked at me just as much. I figured it was Bobby Lee from MAD TV. I was like wow, right on.. I wanted to say hi, and introduce myself. However I didn’t want to bother him. I am going to a MAD TV taping with my American Cinema class.. and im sure im going to see him. My professor mentioned something about VIP, and I don’t know what that encompasses.. All i recalled is him saying something about alcohol, and no lines... Anyways.. Got a BBQ Chicken Pizza.. sat outside and enjoyed Sunset Blvd... Chowed down 2 slices and went on my very way...

Headed on home.. Was about 11. and talked to Nohemi on the way.. For whatever reason, i was craving brownies. Like a warm one.. I figured only Denny’s was the only thing open at home. I was trying to get Nohemi to go, but she was tired.. PLEASE!! We were talking until like 230. That was like 3 hours pretty much, her asss could have hopped into something and we could have gone.. BLAH!! All and all.. I had a fun fun night.. I just really wish gas was cheaper, so I can be down in LA more often...

Full day.... Dont want it anyother way...

My First Fashion Show... HURRAY!!

October 15, 2005

My first fashion show.. I’ve never been to one and i thought it was going to be pretty awesome. However here’s the catch, the show was at 2 friggin am Saturday morning at the Union Station. Such a crazy time, but then i thought about it, and it was pretty much an afterparty after a night of clubbing, and then lets throw some fashion into it since its LA Fashion Week.

Lets talk about the day a little. I don’t recall much however all i remember was that i went out with Leslie. We went to go see Waiting.. Before that, we killed some time at at the Ontario Mills Mall. Can you believe they have an Abercrombie and Hollister outlet?? They are friggin huge in there which was Very very dimly lit. Maybe the loud music, the lack of light, and the trendy mass produced overpriced clothing gives the vibe of a party!! Which makes you wanna buy the clothes perhaps?? I don’t know.. After just going back and forth to shop some... There were a few cute chicks which is nice to do when you shop. However the showtime was at 330 from what i recall. Got our tickets and headed on into the AMC. The theatre was bumping some Chris Botti and it was soo nice. His new album, "To Love Again".. Go get it!!

Wow was the theatre packed!! Hella sarcastic there. There was only about 8 people tops in what looked like it would fit over 100?? I’m thinking less, but i don’t know.. These seats are as comfortable as the ones at the AMC at the Victoria Gardens, and i totally hate how the seats are so close to each other. The rows that is, so its pretty hard to put your feet up. Anywho.. The movie started.. had lots of the typical teen comedy movie trailers. The movie that i liked to see would have been "Kids in America" with Nicole Richie and Gregory Smith.

Long story short on the movie. "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Luis Guzman, Dane Cook, and Andy Milanakis. Speaking of Andy Milankis.. I found out his real age and i will have a put up an entry for anyone who’s interested in knowing the top secret age. Which it is, since MTV wont even state it.

The main reason i wanted to see his movie was because of Dane cook. Such a funny funny guy!! Cant wait to see him live.. Plus Ryan Reynolds is usually funny, and he’s taking over the Chevy Chase type role decently. The movie wasn’t really that funny. Dane cook appearance was very minimum, and he was all tatted up as a chef at the mock family restaurant Shenanigans. They had a game where you show off your manhood, if someone looks at it, you kick them in the butt. Depending on how much you show and the situation, you get to kick the onlookers butt numerous times. The movie was very very unamusing a lot of the time. Richard Roeper stated it was funny every 15 mins, which was very true. They also have an on going sexual tension between Ryan Reynolds character and the hostess who was underage. It got a lot more disturbing when the manager, who looks like he’s in his fortys, started hitting on her. The hostess didn’t rejected it either, she was with it. That was way way disturbing. Heck she did look pretty hott, besides the fact she has a huge nose.

They showed a few aspects of the typical customers at restuarants. I never waited, but i have cooked at one. I couldnt really relate much to how the staff would react and how customers are. Two examples i found, a very very rude customer. What they do to her?? Just put every disgusting thing you could put without giving the movie an NC17 rating. Another situation.. A customer that doesn’t tip the right percentage. Remember guys.. Its 20 percent.. Justin Long's character throws a fit and tells off the customer. What’s even ironic... one of his conflicts in the movie, was with an old high school classmate who graduated college with a electrical engineering degree and leaves him an 100 dollar tip. Which is a slap in the face to him. Anyways... Long story short.. The movie seemed to drag on and on and on! The movie is definitely a rental... Netflix it.. I would be a lot more livid if i actually paid for the movie..

I wanted to see another movie after it was done.. I wanted to have a movie day!! Like watch 2 or 3 new releases, however had to pick up Leslies brother. Picked him up and headed off back to her house. Hung out and such... I wanted her to roll with me to the fashion show, however she was bitching and moaning about how she’s gonna be comparing because she wasn’t going dress as well as the other people. Oh well. I mean she did try something on that looked pretty good.. But ended up not wanted to go, and she was in a towel for awhile... No comment.. Left around 10ish..

Got home and settled down a little bit. I started up my essay for History. I put out an hour to start and to finish it, since it was due tomorrow morning. Got ready and such and had Amanda come over and we headed off to LA.

I left at 1am towards over there and made some good time. Took around 40 mins. Oh, the thing was at the Union station. There was no parking in front of the place, and had to drive around to the other side into the parking complex. Man i was hoping i didn’t have to pay when i left because I didn’t have any cash on me and Amanda didn’t either. Parked.. lotta fashionable LA people came out and got on the elevator. Found it really really interesting. I’ve never been around the train station, i mean ive been in there for a second to get some breakfast and see it all the time when i get lunch with my dad. Other than that.. Not the gateways and such. It did remind me of an episode of 24. Anywho...

I’m going to blab and blab way too much. Made it all the way down the gateways and made it back outside. Checked the list for my name, and i wasnt too sure which list i was on. I had to ask around sooo much. I asked one list and i wasnted onthere. I tried to drop a name, the name that got me on the list, but no one even knew who she was. Great! That’s like one of my biggest fears. Knowing my name is on a list, and not getting in. Makes me feel hella embarrassed, especially when I can’t do anything about it. Finally checked another list baring bouncer. I was on the house list, which the member holding door guy had. I didn’t know much about why they kept asking if you were a member.. However with a little research on Xenii. Its like a Hollywood elite society.. Secret societies mind you. The only way you can be apart of the society, is to be invited in and after approval from the consul.. This is the easy part.... Here’s catch 2.. There are levels of membership.. depending on how much you "contribute". The lowest and first level of membership requires a 450 dollar payment. 450 dollars a month!! Its not a year!! An effin month!! Thats like more than a car payment for most and insurance. I find it totally wow... Thats why i kept on noticing people knowing each other and how all the people there looked soooo HOTT. This society.. is involved all over Hollywood... .CD album releases... movie premieres... parties.. Anything you can think of.. Anywho.. Back to it..

After hurdle one.. Which was finding my damn name.. Oh after i found it.. It should have been plus one, which means i can bring someone else. It didn’t state that i had a plus one, and the dude allowed me to bring someone. Of course the rule was one chick. Sigh of relief.. However there was a table where you had to get a wrist band to get inside, and they were checking ID. The chick i was with wasn’t... Hurdle number 2 of the night! Hurray!! After talking to the chick at the table.. She was really unhelpful. I was going to throw a hissy fit.. As someone has told me i do, and its like forever burned in my brain, since she pointed it out. My thing? i was invited by the PR firm.. Public relations.. If i knew i had to bring someone who was 21 and over.. I would have.. How old was Amanda? I don’t even know and still don’t. I know she’s over 18, but i pretty much met her like an hour prior.. Don’t ask! hahaa.. That chick handed the baton to someone else... Allison.. who was a cutie.. Before she did that... Some guy was bitching her out, saying how she should know who he is.. This and that and how he was with Ray.. I think his name was Ray.. The president of the operations. After talking to Allison.. Explaining to her what’s up... She relay my message to the president.. He came over... he was totally cool. We reassured him that she wasn’t going to drink. See.. at these type of events.. Always open bar.. I mean c’mon.. 450 a month membership.. Gotta be open bar.. He allowed her to get a wristband.. and there we head on in...

The music was playing.. and alcohol was flowing... There were bottles of Grey Goose just chillin on there little tables with couches around. Just poor it into a cup and party it up. There was a DJ on one side and opposite were the bars. Towards the far left was what looked like a make shift runway...It was pretty elevated and chairs on each side. It was really crowded. There was sooo many beautiful people... I just couldn’t believe it.. I felt sooo inferior to them.. I mean i was dressed properly, but i just wanted feeling up to par. We just walked around, people watching and soaking it up. Girls were walking around with tiny baby bottles with margarita drink in them. Like i guess they made a margarita in a bottle premade, pretty much like Hypnotiq. This junk was sooo strong.. Maybe that’s why they were in a baby bottle to suck it out slowly.. Well I just opened the thing and took it like a shot. Dude it was effin strong!!! I felt a minor minor buzz.. But buzz nonetheless. I knew i should have eaten something today.. Oh well.. They also had Chinese take out boxes filled with food, chicken satay, and eggs rolls going around from what i noticed..

Anyways.. the fashion show was suppose to start at 2am. The thing was pretty much an hour friggin late. However i did notice this girl right across from me. She was soooo gorgeous. Long hair down her back.. Incredible eyes and facial features.. Her fashion was very in the know with a little flare to it. Hoop earrings.. and let me state.. Not the main thing I saw however adds to her beauty.. Her chest.. i kind of found to look artificial, but maybe not. Her green top was low, and just make the whole ensemble work. Just sooo enchanting.. Too bad she had a boyfriend.. Who had an effin awesome fashion attire. Man if these kids can do the 450 a month thing and make it seems like nothing. Their style would be effortless. Yes. i am jealous! Man.. What i would do to get into this circle of the privileged...

The show eventually started at 3. I wish i brought in my camera to take pictures, so i can remember how these models look. Some were beautiful, and others were like whatever. The first was Guy Candy Swimwear.. The bathing suits were interesting.. I can’t really describe... There was an African American model, and she was BEAUTIFUL... You can see her sister sitting on the otherside. She looks just like her, and wow. I would say a little Kelly Rowland in them, that’s the best i could describe them without a photo, and with my lack of literacy description skills. Cesar de la Parra, Warier Boswell, Pegah Anvarian, and Eduardo Lucero were the other designers. I really liked Eduardo Lucero, it wasn’t too over the top, it did use a lot of fur. I was surprise there wasn’t any pigs blood baring PETA members outside.

Pretty much left after the show, which ended around 4 and headed on home. Hurdle number 3... Leaving the parking complex.. The tab was at 6 bucks, and we didn’t have cash among the two of us. He gave us an IOU, which has to be sent in the mail. Oh well.... Got back to Rancho around 5.. I have class at 9 in the morning.. HURRAY!! A midterm to do, which i didn’t study for.

Saturday night is going to be interesting. The 2 BE Free fashion show on Paramount Studios and an afterparty. They turned one of the streets on the lot to an urban New York theme.. Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Haylie Duff, Misha Barton and Rachel Bilson were to be said to attend... This show was going to satisfy 3 of my goals in life.. Not necessarily goals in life, but just things i want to accomplish.. So i guess that is considered goals. 1. Get on the Paramount Studios for ANY reason. 2. Party with Paris, just to say i partied with her. 3. Attend a fashion show, and its afterparty. I called that my mirroring the life of the Laguna Beach kids. Don’t take it wrong.. I don’t live my life trying to make my life like the people from the Laguna Beach show.. But it’s just funny how my life just is so similar to the beach kids Kristin, Stephan, and LC.

I was pretty much screwed my energy and such after doing the whole fashion at 2am. I slept all day and felt like crap. I ended up not going to the 2 BE FREE fashion show because i had a research paper due for my American Cinema class the next day, and i didn’t finish the 6 page essay. I knew if i went to the party that i would have been home around 3.. After a night of drinking.. Grinding on Paris booty.. Wishful thinking there.. and maybe exploring around the lot... I would have been out of commission most of the day and wouldn’t finish.. I kinda get mad when i don’t attend events i look forward to, but i know for a fact i will have another chance of some sort. OH!! Then i find out.. My Professor gave an extension to these two chicks in the class... SO I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE SHOW.. Maybe. I mean they are chicks and they have 2 things i don’t have.. So maybe he wouldn’t have given me the extension.. but at least i could had some sort of choice.. But then again.. I finished it, and i didn’t have to think about it after i turned it in. So that took a load off my back.. Next time..

Anyone want to payroll my membership?? :P

Musicality: Ashlee Simpson - I Am Me

So I figure i should have a post of this album, and a post from now on for all my featured albums since people seem not to find it so easy.

The album is out October 18th, however i have the full album for your listening pleasure. Some of you will already purchase the album even after hearing, some will not like it and save some dough, and then some will like the album after listening.

I would love to review the album and critic every single track, but ill just comment on the tracks i like. Which are... "L.O.V.E" with its funky disco beat... "Burning Up" with the same, however the vocals on this track a lot more seductive. "Coming Back For More" sounds like a Shaina Twain song.. If you listen closely to the guitar in the introduction. However i do like the poppy sound and the relatible lyrics.

Obviously this album songs and their lyrics would revolve around Simpson's emotions at the time of writing the songs. The last album was example number 1 and so is this current album. The title track "I Am Me" is another prime example, and explained by Simpson at her House of Blues concert last month.. It was a song about when she saw her ex-boyfriend with another girl. Of course it was easily to assume it was Ryan Cabrera.

"Eyes Wide Open," totally random song about her seeing a ghost. Pretty much the most random song she could write and sing about.

OUT OF 5 STARS

I give the album a 3 out of 5 stars. The album doesnt do much and doesnt show much growth from the debut album. Its still has the punky pop more pop than punk or even rock sound, which shouldnt bother the fans much, however the album has less songs to dance to. I highly doubt this album will be as multiplatinum as did "Autobiography."

Click on the album cover to your left to listen to the album...

Bad Boys Bad Boys.. What cha gonna do!!!

Tuesday..

Today!! The Henry's Block Party thing. Pretty was going to be the highlight of my day. For those who doesnt know what Henry's is. Its like a Trader Joes.. but bigger.. For those who dont know what Trader Joes is.. Its like a healthy organic specialty store. However Henry's was more of a farmers market as a Supermarket. Anywho!!

Went to the Post Office to pick up a package which i was sure was a Press Kit from Dreamworks. It was around 3 and the Post Office closes at 3:30. Wow was there so much people... The line was ricdonkulous!! Took around 30 mins to finally get up to the front and get a little package. Annoying if you asked me, but i didnt care really.

Alex tells me he was going to Johnny Rockets and i told him to get me something. I ended up meeting up with them anyways. He was with Christine and Felicia, and i just came to get a salad. I was hella craving it and thats like the ONLY good thing at Johnny Rockets. I kinda liked the shakes but hella got over that real fast.

Got back home around 4ish to check out the Josh Groban chat session on MSN Chats. It took an hour for like pretty much nonsense. Like only 4 questions were answered. However i did learn a few things... The 3rd album is slated for a Summer 2006 release, and a tour to follow in the fall. He has a new terrier pussy named Sweeney. I can only guess Sweeney Todd. Favorite veggie is corn. You can tell hes a total funny guy, when one of the questions was what he was wearing. Josh answered.. top hat, big sunglasses, bicycle shorts and Eskimo shoes. Totally laughed my butt off there. Last thing was that he described his perfect day.. consisted of waking up early with coffee, have someone watch his dog, hop on a rollercoaster, perform a concert, have dinner with family, ride a motorcycle that he doesnt have yet, and sit and watch family guy with a bowl of gummy worms. Sounds like a great day...

The chat ended a little after 5 and i headed off to Starbucks to do some studying and blogging. I need to be out of my house to concentrate, and keep my mind focus. It just sucks that when im out, some point i need to use the Internet to look up something. Im not going to pay 30 bucks for that t mobile Hot spot service but my wireless port is messed up anyways. Got the usual Ice Chai latte.. When outside and read some... Read a chapter from Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Wow, i was shocked out a chapter ended. It ended to the effect of a wedding reception in the restaurant Anthony worked in.. The bride came and propositioned one of the cooks and they were getting at it in the alley. Talk about the perfect wife...

Man, im starting to hate smokers more and more. I know i am outside of the Starbucks but these two people kept on smoking nonstop for i swear was 30 mins. It got to me like nothing!! ARRGGHGHH!!! Alex rolled on by to chill and i went back to doing my thing for a little. I was going to hit up Jesse to roll to the Henry's thing... Alex and I decided to hit up Active for a little bit and drove by Henry's. Wow packed much??

Active.. nothing much there.. totally boring and whatevers. It was around 7, so we headed up to Jesses and headed down to Henry's. Alex raced Jesse BMW and yeah.. His RSX beat it. Got over there.. Parking was mad mad crazy. But it seemed pretty awesome.. They had music and lines of people getting food and what not. Took a little lap around.. met up with Ryan. Went inside the store which i didnt even know was going to be open. Sampled it up like crazy.. Prior to going to the block party thing... I already knew i was going to act a fool. I havent in sooooo long.. Man i remember when i used to just do whatever just for laughs, and not even care if i got in trouble or whatever. It was nice, and sooooo liberating.

Walked around.. got some samples.. it was soooo packed!!! You couldnt really walk around... I am the ultimate leader... Other people just walk around and bump and crap, while i lead pretty well.. HAHA.. im way way too used to being in public places.. we ran across the soup bar... Got some soup and walked around the store eating it. SOOOO wrong.. and got this chocolate muffin and walked around with hat. I didnt eat either of them... I just handed it off to Alex.. and Jesse would share with him.. I love this place because of its offering of various nuts, trail mixes, and other yummys in huge barrels. More samples of cheeses.. Sharp White Cheddar.. YUM!!

Got back outside.. Now here comes the fun... We go outside trying to find SOMETHING!! ANYTHING TO DO.. Just took another lap, joking around and what not. Until!! I hear the Hip hop electric CHA CHA!! Like where they tell you to step forward, or slide to the right, jump, stomp your foot and so on... I remember i used to tear this dance up in high school during rallys.. I had sooo much fun and i just thought dude im soo going to dance. So while we were walking around and such.. I would do the dance where i was and if i was walking around i would do the dance and clap to it. One point, i actually was on the dance floor doing it with the parents and kids. However since no one joined me.. I left it.. In the corner of my eye.. i noticed someone in a black uniform follow me... I pointed it out to Jesse and was like why is that person following us. We stopped and she called me over. Now here is the conversation

Her: Where are your parents at??

Me: Im 21.. i dont have my parents here with me. Why would they be with me?

Her: You are 21 and acting like that??

Me: Acting like what?? Im dancing here. The music is on to dance. (Saying this while still dancing in place) Note: As you can tell, not really scared yet... hahah yet)

Her: ::Quiet and looking at Me::

Me: ::Looked at her boob.. just kidding.. looked at her badge and noticed she was a cop.:: (got a little more serious but still playing it off still dancing::

Her: Is this what you do?? Go around trying to look cool in front of your friends

Me: What i do?? Again.. the music is on for dancing

Her: ::Quiet::

Me: ::Pauses:: (Trying to be the smart ass like i am, but i choose to call it, talkative)

Me: I love this store.. Thats why im happy.

Her: ::Gives me a look, like im lying to her::

Me: I always go to the one in Chino Hills, and im happy this one is opening here

Her: Can i see your id??

Me: ::Looking for my ID, and hands it to her::

Her: ::Takes it, looks for 2 seconds, gives back::

Me: ::Puts it back in wallet, and walk away::

OMG!! So i got rolled for dancing!!! I mean give me a break. In hind sight, i wished i got her badge number to report a complaint for harassment. I mean i would have totally understand if i was waiving gang signs, held a weapon, bumped in to people, or was cursing or something. However i was doing anything!! People ive told thought she was hitting on me.. HAHAHA.. i dont think so.. She was pretty young, i would say late 20s, but nah.. That brought my night down a little bit.. Left about 40 mins which was like 830ish..

Driving up Daycreek.. We were racing some more... Jesse burned out at Banyon and i laughed my ass off sooooo bad!! I dont know.. I was just in this high.. I got rolled by a cop... I am sure i was going to get rolled again. I mean dude.. My first speeding ticket i got.. 30 mins after.. i was driving like 80 around the Ontario Mills loop in Del Taco.. There was a Ontario Cop who was chilling there.. HAHA.. He was all saying that it was a race course and he was going to give us a ticket for wreckless driving and exhibition of speed. HAHA.. Us as in me and Jesse.. We were in separate cars... Anywho!!! We were safe.. but so many people were staring and at Day Creek Park...There were coaches and football players staring at us laughing racing our butts off...

Hung out at Jesses a little bit. I wanted to kill time because Steve was getting out of church and we were going to go watch a movie. After hanging a little bit.. Went to go get my car i left at Starbucks and back to Alexs to hang out a little bit and kill some time. Jovana calls me.. well i didnt know she called.. She called at her work which i didnt know the number and yeah.. I didnt get a hold of her after i left Alex. I hung out there, talked to his mom a little bit and told her a little of my run in with the po-po..

Steve calls.. told him the times for the movie we were going to watch at the Victoria Gardens.. Two for the Money.. The showing was at 9:40.. It was 9:30.. was going to be a little late.. headed off to the Gardens and called Jovana again.. She wanted to see if i could take her home.. told her i was checking out a movie. She wanted to come and yeah.. I went to the Gardens and chilled outside of the Gap. It was getting pass 9:40, however Steve calls me and says hes going to another theatre to see the 10:05 showing and told me about the 10:55 one. Jo was hungry so decided to ditch Steve and check out the later showing and get dinner. She wasnt out just yet, and i saw Casey at Johnny Rockets when i drove by and decided to go there for a little. I had to use the restroom anyways.. Got an Oreo shake... used to the bathroom.. headed back to the Gap and she was out... I kinda wanted to eat around the Gardens... but it was 10 and things were pretty much closed.. Headed off around the Mills...

Ended up eating at Bostons because i wanted to visit Nohemi. She wasnt there!! What a punk!! Jovana hasnt eaten there yet, so it was all good.. The food here is pretty decent.. Its crazy how the place stays open until 2.. The bar seems to always be popping. They were playing some tight music.. Music i would soo love to hear while im buzzing my butt off!! They also have like Poker you can play against people in the bar.. Very interesting.. We were trying to rush the eating... the movie started at 10:55 and it was like 10:30.. Some fun conversation.. and planning of Dolce dinner date and our New York Christmas trip.. SOOO cant wait!!!!!

Ran outta that place!! Off to the Edwards theatres.. We were like 10 minutes late.. it wasnt that bad.. We didnt miss much from the movie... Two for the Money with Al Pacino, Matthew Mconghay, and Rene Russo. Oh and Jeremy Piven!! One of my favorite actors.. Love him.. They made him be the heel to the effect of his character in Entourage.. The movie. about sports betting... Thats pretty much it.. Matthew Mconghay is this low Vegas 900 number sport picker until Al Pacino takes him in. I dont have much more to say about the movie, but i liked it.. I love how Jovana is at the movies... Im not going to say what exactly what it is, but i like it! hehe..

Took her on home.. Headed off to Jesse work.. Hung out a little there.. Made plans to hit up Henry's tomorrow morning... and yeah.. Got home around 2 and knocked out.. Pretty much a full day but ended on a good note.. Im planning to do some more illegal dancing this Saturday at the "2 Be Free" 2006 Spring Collection runway show in Hollywood..LA Fashion week coming up!!! I might get in trouble again because Paris Hilton and a few other people will be there, and imma grind grind grind Paris.. hahaha..

Dancing is NOT a CRIME!

Casey.... Porn Star??

Just a short short blurb... I ran across something.. Lets call them.. Pictures.. pictures of this chick who was pretty sexually clothed and what not. As i observed the photos.. They reminded me of that Casey chick on Laguna Beach.. I also aquired a number... I called them up and totally sounded like her.. I just thought it was really weird and interesting.. It made me think that this chick isnt really someone from the show who lives in Laguna Beach.. Im being sooo cryptic.. Anywho.. Showed the pictures to a few people and let them hear the voice from her voicemail and yeah..

Its rumored that she is a porn star... Who knows.. I wish i had those pictures to show you and a sound clip.. However maybe ill get a sound clip for you guys.. Soon...

Still hott....

I am beginning to think I eat out too much...

Last Thursday

BORING Day... pretty much... Sooooo boring that i had to get out of the house.. Hopped in my car drive around and bumped my Maroon 5 Live Friday the 13th CD. Wasted Years baby.. wasted years.. Driving around is soo nice especially when the weather is just right. Just wished i had a convertible to experience it. Anywho.. Nohemi hits me up, and we make plans to meet up at the mall. I wasnt even decent so went home to get to it. Headed to the Gardens.

Met up with Nohemi.. which we had a little tiff about where to park. Chicks these days.. Always gotta argue and such. Let this be known.. You cannot win an argument against me, even if im wrong.. Im still going to win. Anyways!!

Made 2 stops at Ambercombie and Urban Outfitters. She had to go return some. Then off to Coffee Bean to get me some Strawberry and Cream Green Tea. Some good stuff.. and pretty healthy for you and taste yum yum.

Off to Express... Looks like they were having a swap meet sale. Like all there crap in boxes and you have to look through it. Found me a nifty key chain leather thing... Money clip holder.. Cuff link that would go awesome with this shirt and a pair of jeans.. I own like 50 pairs of Express Jeans. I mean cmon they are out of the Express Design Studio scientific blah blah or whatever it is.

More walking around.. Ummm headed off to Robinson May... So i can make Nohemi buy the Paris Hilton perfume. That is some good smelling stuff. Im addicted to it as much as i am addicted to Love Spell scent from Victoria Secret. We detour on the way there when we cross one of her friends who worked at that sunglass place. Chit chatted a few and yeah..

Off to Macys.. Shopped there a few.. Tried to make Nohemi get the Paris Hilton perfume.. YUM!! But she didnt.. Went to California Pizza Kitchen to visit one of her friends. Saw Mindy.. Love her!! I think she was with mom or grandmother. didnt really say much to her..

Dinner at Kabuki.. Got some sushi.. Unagi and avocado rolls!! Suuhhh good!! Yellowtail.. Philly Roll and some Sashimi.. She totally didnt eat any of the raw fish.. What kind of sushi eating is that.. Im sorry but if you only eat California rolls.. Thats not eating sushi and stop claiming it to be sushi.. Theres a reason why its called California Rolls... Anywho.. Some very very intense conversation.. So intense it got Nohemi crying.. hehe. I laugh because it was a bad thing.. Just some things i told her got her all emotional and such.. Shes such a baby... I love it!! After closing down the place and after some Fried Green Tea ice cream.. YUM!! We left..

She ran into her friend that worked at CPK, and hung out with him. I guess he had a bad bad night on his birthday the night before going to a gay club.. That was pretty much my night... Fun Fun!!

Last Friday..

Didnt do anything!!! Highlight!! Going to the Gardens to get dinner at the Mongolian Grill.. Thats it! OH!! I totally saw my old Geometry teacher.. i think her name was Miss. Merrel.. However it looks like she got married.. I saw like kids everywhere and babys rollers.. It looked like the mall was having some sort of fair thing.. In 2 weeks.. its going to be there one year anniversary.. They are going to have fireworks.. and im SOOOO THERE!!!!

Last Saturday...

Had class in the morning.. and pretty much dont know what happened after that... until that night.. Headed on over to Pico Rivera to Derrick's birthday party.. I didnt really want to go drive out there for a little thing, but Derricks a pretty good friend and besides.. I was didnt have plans. The plans i had with Lisa are always a bust.. shes the hugest flake ive ever met and didnt really expect much...

The drive wasnt too bad.. I was droved in my jeans, blazer, pink shirt. I havent wore it since Tanya wedding, so i though.. Lets break it out.. It was either the pink one or the lime green one.. The party was at the Tammick Inn. Its like this steak house lodge time deal. It was pretty cool.. Everyone was pretty much there.. Alex... David... Orlando... Jordan.. Mark.. Tim.. Jose.. Mike.. and so on... Im not gonna get into it much but lets see.. Derrick has a hot hot mom and sister.. The bartending chick was wack and served me wack Vodka and tonic.. Eww! Grey Goose or bust!! They were doing karaoking and i didnt know how loud i was singing along. I mean me and Orlando were singing, and Derricks mom came over and told me to sing and i was like nah i didnt want to. Mark was set up by Timmy to sing Jimmy Buffets Son of a Sailor which was soooo hilarious!! I was laughing, and of course Derricks mom asked me why i was laughing because i was next.. i found i song i would sing but i wanted to sing it with her.. Summer Loving.. hehehe.. OH!! Mark has a hot hot sister... You can totally tell she got booby implants because dude she put them all out there. I remember i heard about her job.. and whats sweet is that Mark, her brother helped her pay for them.. Aww thats brotherly love.. I know they are Branding Iron whores.. and those would be 2 reasons for me to start going to that place.. haha.. Derrick finally got plastered, so plastered he had to be sent home.. Derrick never drinks!! We have gone to Tijuana and he wouldnt even touch a beer because he doesnt want to get caught because hes trying to be a cop.. Man before he was sent home.. He was drunk dancing his ass off!!! It was hilarious!! Funny guy outside was bumping that Chris Brown song over and over thinking he was tight and a dude was leaning against his Civic and he got all mad like he was leaning against a Bentley or something. It was a toll up Civic.. That was funny.. Derrick cousin is a drunk cutie! hahahah.. Pretty much thats it..

Left around midnight.. So my gas light was on when i got to the place and i thought to just see how fair i could go.. Where the 210 and 57 met, i felt my car loose party and it totally tripped me out. I exited off a street and drove down hoping there was a gas station. Which there was.. Hurray!! End of a pretty good night...

Last Sunday...

Went to the mall with Alex and Lindsay.. I dont have my car on Sundays, and i was hungry and wanted to be out.. Shopped some.. Checked out T Mobile for Alex and his stupid sidekick.. Went to Sephoria to get some hair product.. Jonathan Product Dirt baby!! I was thinking about getting some Lip Venom but i didnt.. hahahah.. Jovana got me into that and its feels good!! Had lunch at CPK, i treated since it was Lindsays birthday a few days ago or whatever.. Headed on home and went to class at 6. Finished watching the Searchers and talked about it a little. Started to watch American Graffiti, which looked interesting.. Got home.. Chilled out.. Had a Laguna Beach hook up... hahaha.. and that ended my weekend decent.. hahahaha... If you know what i mean..

I really need to stay on top of this...

Kristin Cavallari... Laguna Beach's Mean Girl..

Laguna Beach.. The "Real" O.C. A show that "documents" the happenings of the rich and beautiful teens of this beach community. I was anti this show for the longest time due to my loyalty to The O.C. The uber drama, overly drama i should say, on FOX. After the first season has passed, with my dislike, and with every fiber in my being going against it. I finally gave in, watched a few reruns and eventually brought the DVD, and got really into it. Caught up in time for the premiere of the second season. I mean im not going to lie.. i love drama. Cmon i pretty much watch over half of the shows on the WB... Everyone knows already my life is full of it, so its nice to have my drama on the back burner and to watch a very very very well cut show, showing the intensity of drama on Laguna Beach.

Ok ok now.. Back to the matter on hand.. Kristin.. The resident heart breaker and hook up queen of Laguna Beach is featured on Rolling Stone's Hot List. Miss Cavallari is Top Hot Reality girl. The articles goes in on the background on her and such. I guess it would be interesting for people who are obsessed with the show.. As i know a few people who are.. Obsessed enough to go to some club in Orange County just because it was promoted to have the cast of the show to appear. Of course, all the lame people attended that event and of course didnt see no one!! Its quite funny but just another tangent.

However i did learn a few things... Kristin does not attended USC like she states in an episode, however in the article it just states that she is only taking one class at her oceanfront Catholic University. What school would this be?? LMU.. Loyola Maramount University in Marina Del Ray pretty much Santa Monica. My friend attends there and have heard she is there. I dont know why Rolling Stone doest say which University, but its the one. Something i learn from this.. Looks like shes of Catholic religion... We all know from watching the show, she doesnt seem to practice it much, then again maybe its not even her religion, since her dad is a Buddhist. But man, only one class at a private University.. Must be the life..

After her Land Rover debacle in season one, after car shopping for a new car with her crush Sam. Looks like what daddy Cavallari protested... she will have the beat up car for 4 more years.. She rolling around in a BMW SUV.. Ashlee Simpson style.. Im totally in love with this car because its pretty kinda different for BMW.. Anywho.. Her best friend Alex is rooming with her, we learn she was planning to attend Santa Monica City. Compared to her friends.. Kristin who had aspirations to attend USC, however attending LMU now. Miss Kristin is a bright chick, being involved with the Associated Student Body.. A friend i know who seen and met her at a ASB gathering.

Oh not from the article, however i learned.. If you followed the show, remember the guy Kristin was talking to? Matt?? The whole deal that she wasnt really with Stephen and got with that Matt dude. Well this Matt guy isnt so random. He obtained her number somehow and they were hanging out. This Matt? Was Matt Leinart, USC Quarter Back and Heisman Trophy winner. She claims that he got a big head after the whole thing and pretty they stopped talking. I found that pretty interesting..

OH!! a big thing i learned that was soo interesting!! Talan... the pimp of Laguna Beach.. He dated LINDSAY LOHAN!!!! Man.. I bow down to this guy.. Hes totally like this sensitive dude to Taylor which i can relate, but he knows to say fawk it... and still.. Gets the Lohan booty.. However, the episode coming up about prom.. Wow.. From what i saw.. He went all out dressing up in a tux, red balloons and everything in his garage with Kristin opening it up revealing him. Wow.. this dude is a hopeless romantic.. something i like to call myself most of the time... Trust me.. Way too hopeless if you ask me.. OH! Looks like hes a Ryan Cabrera fan.. He attended a taping of his television show "Score" debuting on MTV sometime this month. Anyways.. Heres the excerpt...

"She starts crying, going 'Aaargh!' and slams a glass on the table," Kristin dishes. "I was like, 'Are you kidding me right now?' Talan had to tell her to leave."

Well wait.. Before that quote.. Let me set it up.. Kristin is sleeping in his bed fully clothed, and as far as i know Talan wasnt with her. Lindsay sees this and like any girl.. well a girl who tries to size up another girl.. Gets jeolous and angry.. Who knew?? Haha.. Girls are vicious when it comes to their men or boys or whatever!! Funny stuff...

A few little tidbits.. Stephen... Looks like hes living in Los Angeles, somewhere around Kristin and is trying to be an actor. Big surprise there? Hes taking acting classes and what not. He does have that "look" to be a star, however his build and his height isnt on his side. The questio nis wheres Lauren?? aka as LC?? It looked like she was moving to Los Angeles also, however not very much of a mention of her, then again its an article on Kristin.

The article was informative.. Learn lots. Its always nice to read about things that interest you, and i LOVE knowing the dirty tidbits not normally known to the public.. Thats why i love being a journalist. Pick up your copy of Rolling Stone to read the whole article.. Its not too too interesting for a nonfan, however to a fan.. Might be a good read.. I did cover most of the points.. The article pretty much just plays like the show.... just in words... and less skin....

Baby im back!!!

Blah!! I need sleeping pills. Anyone who have some.. please send them my way. Send them to PO BOX 554 Etiwanda, CA 91739. That is my actual box.. Please send whatever you like.. sorta.. thats legal.. in the US.. Sexy pictures are welcome.. anywho off topic.. Got into bed 3 am last night and had to be awake for a meeting at 11 in the morning in Culver City.

Woke up and i was soo out of it. I think it was like 8ish? I had to wake up to finish up a few things. Check my emails.. Had to finish up my Ashlee Simpson article. I am lagging it. Wish i did, i think by far i was very very like commentary instead of summary type. I want to be more of a raw writer. Click here to read it... Its unedited, so no comments on that please..

Left my house at 9:40 and made it there right at 11. Man i think it was the most freeways i have traveled on one day. 210 East... 605 South.. 10 West... 101 North.. 110 South.. 10 West.. 405 South.. Trust me i had SOOO MUCH fun. I had a air con headache.. A headache brought on by too much driving and the air conditioner on. It sucks.. Anyways.. this meeting was with Sergio from Socal.com. An online events site mainly with a editorial focus. I was meeting to see if i could write for them. I got the hook up through Danielle, who i met at the Ashlee Simpson concert, who reviewed the show and i hooked her up with a photo i shot. Met Sergio, long story short.. He covered what the site was all about, the operations of it all. and so on. Something that turned me off.. It was an internship.. Which means... No pay.. Omg it totally sucked, but then again... Im not worried so much about it because this will add to my contacts, and to more events where i could write and add to my resume. More range on what i cover. And of course, i can take photos and sell those off. Its not a big deal, also they will compensate for parking and such. This will work perfectly around my other situation. Which I will talk about a little later on..Socal.com does seem to have a good footing with things happening around Los Angeles. I cant wait to start covering events for them..

Left around 1230.. Wanted to grab some lunch with Ben and hang at the Weekly.. However he had an interview to do. Then headed off to my dads work at MWD to have lunch with him. My whole plan for the day was the meeting at Socal.com then lunch with Ben, and off to ISS Props. The ISS stands for Independent something something. Its the biggest prop house in the world, providing props for such films and television shows such as 24, The OC, War of the Worlds to name a few. When i was working as in box sales.. You know boxes.. Well the industry name is Paper sales.. Anywho.. They were one of my customers, and i had a great rapport with Brian.. From what i remember was the warehouse manager. I wanted to take a tour of the place, i know i would be soo amazed and what not, just to see another aspect of the entertainment industry. However i totally forgot my camera and i didnt want to take my tour there with out documenting it. Ill check it out some other time.

Made my way to the Union Station, which is connect to the MWD offices. Dude this place is sooo tight, it has a kitchen with like a deli section, entree section and some other section. These chefs like prepare your stuff and its a lot nicer than some fast food joint, a lot healthier and faster! Got myself tuna sandwich on whole wheat, green tea and a fruit salad. Hind sight.. which i got a salad or something... Anywho.. Chilled out for a little until 2ish. Left on back to Rancho. I really didnt want to go. I wanted to spend the day out here. i called up Orlando since i was by LMU, and wanted to hang out and maybe see Kristin?? haha.. Or hang with Ben afterwards.. At that point though, I was really out of it.

Just headed back.. I sent my article to the Herald. and decided i should just meet up and have things settled, not have them lingering over my head and the back of my mind. Called up and talked to Russ and yeah.. I got over there around 3ish. Oh, im not going to talk about what happened but it sucked and i was kinda whatevers about it. Dude it was sooo windy, its all peace and quiet, then in Fontana.. soo windy!! Met up with Russ and Anita.. Chatted a few, again long story short.. Doing my thing back there.. If theres an event i want to cover and i cant cover it for the Herald.. my fall back will be Socal.com.. And if that doesnt work.. Hopefully i can roll along with the LA Weekly and Ben.. If i do that, i dont have to worry about covering it.. Just only remembering things to blog it out!

After a few meeting... When to get me some Musubi.. Spam.. Aww the good ol' days working at a Hawaiian BBQ. Sooo good... Being a cook and such.. This place.. Ono was hiring.. But i dont know. I have soo many odd jobs to take up time when im not doing the writing thing, school thing, the hang out thing, and whatever else thing.

Off to the Post Office.. got my mail.. then to the bank... Dude i am soo shallow but it soo true with most guys and its wrong.. Ok.. i usually get the same teller each time.. and each time she had her boobs all out with cleavage and such.. I thought in my head wow.. Shes cute.. Of course it was the boobs talking... However today? I got her to be my teller again.. This time she was covered up.. and.. honestly.. It got my eyes off the boobs and everything else.. and man o man... Not cute at all. Sad to say it, yes i know typical guy.. but like i didnt even notice it myself.. until today!! Oh well.. She just needs to put the check in my account and its all good..

Got home around 4:30.. Rested a little.. Headed back out at 6 to pick up Alex from tutor. I guess the plan was to pick him up, hang out with Lisa and Heather at Coffee Klatch.. Which i found out she owns.. I totally didnt even know that.. Before i went to pick up Alex.. She told me, Lisa that is.. that it wasnt going to happen because Heather had to head off to the San Dimas location. However she still wanted to go do something.. Sure.. i really doubt that was going to happen so i just called back and left a message. Picked up Alex.. nothing was planned at all and it was gay. Headed off to Starbucks. Lameeeee... Dropped off Alex.. Head home, got another call from Lisa.. blah blah blah.. I pretty much was whatevers.. Such such a flake! Thats pretty much my day...

Tomorrow? I have class and i think im going to spend the whole day in the library, try to focus on some schooling, and get back on track on my events again. I got my first assignment request by Sergio... to cover a show type free concert with Brie Larson.. I guess some Disney singer.. Not too sure if i want to just yet.. Well see...

Britney... Simpson pop rocks the House of Blues..

Multi-platinum lip-syncer.. eerr.. i mean singer Ashlee Simpson sold out the House of the Blues in Hollywood. This outing was for her sophomore album "I am Me" due out October 16th.

Of course this hip trendy club in the heart of the nightlife in West Hollywood was filled up with pre-teens girls with their mom and dads. Dawned with their homemade I love Ashlee Simpson shirts and signs, they waited for the now blonde again singer to jump on stage to perform her hits.

Too bad they had to wait for 30 minutes after the opening act, Barefoot performed. I’m sure you are thinking who are they? Maybe even mistake them for the other "foot" band, Switchfoot. However, this new band is on Papa Joe's record label under Geffen records. The Joe in Papa Joe, is indeed Joe Simpson, who is also known as Ashlee, and older sister Jessica Simpson father and manager. Showing that it’s who you know, and not what you know. The lead singer, Chris.. Father was Fraternity brothers with Joe Simpson. I wonder what father was thinking when his son tried to stage dive into the crowd, only to hit the ground, begging for help back on stage.

After the embarrassing display of an amateur rock star and a short intermission. Miss Simpson ran on stage. Wearing an outfit that looks like she raided the now mother, Britney Spears closet. Pretty much the "punk" version of a school girl outfit consisting of a Gray Sweat jacket, white button up with a skinny black tie, black skirt, leg warmers, and boots.

She performed the usual tracks, "Autobiography" "Love me For Me" and “Pieces of Me.”. Her title track from her new album "I Am Me." singing "What she got that I don’t have"/I won’t change for anyone." Simpson explains she wrote this song after seeing her ex boyfriend... cough Ryan Cabrera cough.. with another girl. On a totally bizarre note, she explains writing a song about a ghost she saw entitled "Eyes Wide Open."

In support of Ashlee her parents Tina, Joe and sister Jessica were all in the house singing along. However brother in law Nick Lachey seemed to be M.I.A. Maybe there was a football game on or maybe... the ongoing rumors are true....??

Ashlee proves to be a strong force in the music industry especially after the fall out from the SNL lip-sync debacle. Entertainment Weekly has her on the list of top 20 albums they are waiting for this fall among the likes of Grammy winners Outkast and Alicia Keys. "I Am Me" hits the stores October 18th, of course with the typical television appearances on Good Morning America, Leno, and TRL.

October 3, 2005

On a Monday.. on a Tuesday.. on a Wednesday..

Wow... i dont know how Paris Hilton does it.. Last night i hung out with the kids.. Alex, Frankie, Val, Lindsay and some other people.. I have to say to the least it was very interesting. I stayed over to sleep since i mean my house was up the street and it was whatevers. All i have to say?? Bacardi 151 is mother trucking dangerous! However very very nice!!

I had class at 9. My history class.. A class i dont wanna miss at all even though its pretty much just lecture. I didnt get much sleep and left the house at 8. Nice huh? Talk about a very very interesting day! Went home and hope in the shower. Took a nap. Man i was exhausted.

Headed over to class of course on time. Heres the funny thing. First thing the teacher. Professor Flowers shows to the class. A comic strip in the college paper. Heres how it looks. This kid wakes up and flips a coin weather to stay and sleep or go to school. He loses the coin and decides to sleep in class with his pillow. Great! Like this wasnt just talking straight to me. The professor has a peeve of people putting their heads down on the desk and napping. I mean cmon!!! This is college not high school. College.. just leave!! So which i did... haha. I left during our break which was about 2 hours in. Im sorry. During the first 2 hours i was nodding off with my eyes lids and head feeling all heavy. I was screwed either way and just left.

Went home and took a nap. I dont remember much anything else. Went out to lunch with Alex and Frankie to Red Robins. This place is warming up to me, but its still not all that great. Still all about the Freckled Lemonade which is Strawberry Lemonade and the Clucks and Fries.. Chicken Tenders. Anywho! Had the Ashlee Simpson concert tonight...

Got ready... the usual.. prepared my camera.. Waited for Melissa to come pick me up. Yes i know.. Nice huh? haha. Hey gas is expensive and she drives a Mercedes. You tell me what you would do?? The drive wasnt too bad.. Bumping the new Ryan Cabrera. Cd has grown on me big time!! We chatted.. covered a few things which is all good... Hit some traffic over the hill in Covina. Thats what i get for telling her to take the 10. I NEVER take the 10. Its all about the 210 to the 605!!! Good thing we left around 630.. Didnt get to Hollywood until around 8ish. I love this city!! Parted at the Hyatt.. 20 friggin bucks!!! Its horrible but what are you going to do?

So we are at the Hyatt.. Right across the street from House of the Blues. The cross walk is about 150 feet on both sides. Of course. I said screw it and jay walked it over with Melissa. Heres the funny thing.. Right when i hit the payment of the sidewalk!! I notice these guys on bikes... wearing shirts that say Sheriff. I was thinking OH CRAP!! Then one of the cops said, "Are you guys crazy??!!" I heard a little faint voice from another cop say, "Jaywalking." My response?? On the fly and witty?? I said, "Look at her shoes [Melissa] she cant walk that far." I just kept on walking. No ticket!! Thank goodness!! However when they said, "You are crazy!!" I wasnt even sure what they were referring to. The fact that i jaywalked in front of 5 sheriff cops on bikes or jaywalking a crazy busy street in Hollywood. Friggin Sunset Blvd on a Saturday night.

Before i even got into town i called up Manny to see whats up. He told me he was going to be there, and i figured he was going to be the host of the night. Manny told me the line was around the block. GREAT! However when i got there, i didnt have to wait in it which is always good! I had to check out the industry entrance. Where there was no line! Love it!! Its all about the special entrances!! Anywho, got my tickets and had a little thing my photo pass, which was cleared.

Got inside!! It was pretty interesting and a lot smaller than i thought it would be. This is my first time here. The bar section was in the back and to the sides. It had a projector screen thingy in the middle which seemed soo kinda small. Just a lot smaller than i thought but this place has alot of history. Place was really crowded already since doors opened at 7:30. We went upstairs to see how it is and it was pretty cool but had a cut off section.

Went back down. Found a spot to stand. I was looking around to see who would escort me to the front to take pictures. I figured it wasnt going to be anyone. Headed to the front and the security guard was like go up there, you have a pass so you can go. HA! There was NO room to move at all, it was a bitch getting in there and walking down to the middle. It was soo annoying! I went down there to get up in the front.. It was soo hard.. I am pretty Ganhdi when it comes to it but it was hella hard. I got to my spot. Took some pics..

The group that opened was of Joe Simpson's label, Papa Joe. Did they sound good? I wouldnt know. I had my ear plugs in however i hear the girls behind me digging on the bass player. I took my pictures and such. The singer tried to do a stage dive. I think he falled to put in account that the audience consisted of Ashlee Simpson fans. Umm pre-teens mostly and their parents and of the female gender. Pretty much the dude ate it, and had to call for help. He still went through the crowd to the stage... all the little girls trying to push him up.. Quite funny.. He knew he looked like a dumb ass. I wonder if Papa Joe thought it was amusing.

Oh.. If you didnt know.. about life that is.. You can really only make it by who you know. Theres no doubt about it. Doors that opened for me are by me knowing people. How does this relate to whatever i was talking about before?? Well Chris whatever his last name of Barefoot, his father was frat brothers with Joe Simpson. And there we have it..

I left the area.. again leaving was just as hard as getting in the area. Headed back to Melissa next to the engineer stations.There was some cheering and what not and the crowd looking to the balcony. I went to the side with Melissa, Jessica and the whole family. How exciting, but not surprising at all. I didnt see Nick though. Joe, Linda, i think thats her name, Casey were there with some more family and friends.

After some more hosting duties by Manny and Jojo.. Ashlee came out. I went to the front again, and AGAIN got stuck! I couldnt believe it at all. I was like move back! I dont think little preteens understand English at all!! After forcing my way to the middle.. I see a fellow photographer.. She looks like a house photographer and we both were soo irritated!! I gave up and told the people to back the fuck up. All they could say was that tell them to move back blah bla blah.. Them as the peopel behind them. I swear the security or the people who run HOB needs to keep that junk in check.

I had to put my foot up against the stage and push with my back to get some sort of footing to be in position to shoot some decent friggin photos. When Ashlee got on stage, i can feel everyone behind me pushing on the guard rail.. Yes, my back against like 100 little girls pushing forward on me with their hands up, trying to touch her hand. I swear! Do you think touching their hand will transfer the fame over to you or something?? Give me a break!! Another annoying thing and kinda sick was all the little girls with their not so fresh breathe singing on the back of my neck. Just disgusting.. Only thing that made it good? Ashlee stood over me in a skirt.. you do the math. She was wearing a gray jacket, black tie, white button up with a black shirt, boots and leg warmers.

Her show was pretty good. I liked it. I was waiting for her to mention Ryan Cabrera.. which she did. Wasnt a surprise. Melissa.. her friend little sister used to hang out with him. They were at a sushi place and Ashlee called. I guess Ryan kinda hung out on her and a few mintues later she showed up. I was told it was pretty ackward. That is soo funny!! She had a song she was talking about a ghost.. Shes a great songwriter isnt she?? I recall the song being called "Eyes Wide Open" Of course she did her songs off the first cd. Another song, the title track.. "I Am Me." Of course it has to be about some relationship. She said it was about her ex boyfriend when she saw him with another girl. I can only imagine it was Ryan Cabrera and it was most likely at his house warming party. I heard a little story about that moment. Im not going to get inot it, but lets just say Ryan was with a chick in a room and Ashlee was at the house warming. She saw them and made a friggin scene.

Ok i didnt even say what happened after i was done taking pictures. It was a 3 song limit. The other photographer left somehow and i tried to find an exit. So many people just packed the exits and i had to fight my way out. While i was trying to leave, all these stupid girls try to come it. Again the security should have handle this, but they seem so stupid and lazy. I couldnt believe it. To add to the frustration? Where i ended up standing to watch the rest of the show, there was this group of guys coming and going, acting like their spot was saved. They were with some chicks who acted the same. Both were dancing with drinks in their hand and i was just waiting for them to spill. Most of the time i was looking up the balcony to see Jessica, which i saw. She looked pretty bored. Her best friend and assistant Casey was going wild. Momma Linda, i think thats the name was sitting and was whatevers also. However Papa Joe was wild, singing and dancing.

The show ended around 1030 i think?? After she had a little encore of her "La La" song which started out slow and carabet or however you spell it style. I saw she is a good performer. Gets the crowd really into it which is always good.

Leaving Hollywood. Lets just say we had an adventure driving all over Hollywood and then some. We were driving around Los Angeles where ive never been. I did run across the club Dragonfly, which ive heard of but never knew where it was. Its on Santa Monica somewhere!

Eventually got on the freeway.. Made it back to a familar part.. Headed off to In N Out in Covina.. Its one of the biggest once ive seen and pretty nice. Had something to eat, and chatted. Then left back home. Hit friggin traffic again!! It was just so lame. I dont even think we got home until 1ish. Got home and left again. Hung out with some friends... Eventually got back around 3. Such a friggin long day. I wont have it any other way!!

Gotta cover the Ryan Cabrera shows.. hope it wasnt as bad but i dont think i would even care. Ill be too busy singing along!!!
