LAKE X BOATING

GREAT AMERICA

Overall was a good trip. We got there at a good time around 11am and from there the lines were decent. Towards the late afternoon the lines with minimal and we got to ride all the rides we wanted. The best ride overall was the "Survivor" coaster which everyone lines up on this huge, round revolving platform. It spins around going up and down and the great thing about it was that you could look at all the people around you and it faced outside, so it felt like you were falling but it was hilarious. I think we all had a good time and felt like we were kids again.

IPAD X GUCCI

For those of you that can already afford the iPad, what's another $200. Gucci has pre-released it’s signature double-G monogrammed satchel which should hit the stores at about $230. Each iPad case has a strap closure to limit the pressure on the touch screen and is lined with smooth suede that keeps the screen clean and prevents scratching, These slick, sleek, stylish cases will be available on Gucci.com very shortly for pre-orders.

SUPRA

New colorway for their Cuban series. The shoes feature a clean-cut, off-white colorway in a canvas finish for that classic seasonal look. You'll probably see me in these within the next few weeks.

LEAVE ME A NOTE

If somebody has ever left you a note then you know how this feels. It's going to be either a great note or something relevant to bad news. I leave notes at work all the time but here are two notes that I wanted to share.

GOOD OLD SUD'S

I already miss those nights out at Sudwerks. If you aren't familiar with Sudwerks it's a brewery and restaurant similar to BJ's or Pyramids. It's located in Davis near the Mace Blvd exit and the most exciting nights are their Wednesday $1 Pint Nights. That's when they're open late and the whole community comes out. It should be nice on summer nights to just chill out and sip on some good beer. Their beer is quality stuff too, it gets everyone buzzed faster and hits hard.

CRAWDAD SEASON...

I think almost everyone is anticipating crawdad season coming up. I don't know who was aware of the all you can eat and drink crawdad festival that had in SF recently. It actually sold out quickly and it was only $25. It seems to be an annual tradition where you can just eat, chill, and drink right on the pier with some good family and friends. Anyway... I know crawdad season is around the corner but I can't wait. It's like a mixture of good food and good company. That's around the time of family trips for camping or boating at the lake. Just waiting for some crawdad and beers...

LAMEBOOK

I just thought this was hilarious...

M.I.A.

Yes, I realize I have been MIA but let's try to make a decent comeback. It's been awhile and not much has changed. I'm bored at work and everyone knows how that goes. Here's a song I heard on the radio about two weeks ago. Didn't know what song it was so I shazam'd it, and that seemed to do the trick.

HAPPY EARTH DAY

WOW

LESSON LEARNED? 300th POST

IT'S "HELLA" OFFICIAL

A second year physics student has begun to make it official. The norcal term "hella" will now be used as a mathematical term. International System of Units would adopt "hella" to follow "zetta," which indicates 1021, and "yotta," 1024.

"Hella" would indicate 10^27, or 1 followed by 27 zeros = 10 to the 27th power.

It's not just slang from the bay anymore, soon it'll be recognized in over 30 countries. So get on it socal and quit hating.

LIFESTYLE

This is too sexy for national TV but it's been airing haha.

ENLIGHTEN

"We have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We’ve done larger things, but not better things. We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete."
