Oh man it's almost the new year! Haven't blogged in a few days. How's everybody doing? Cool.

Went to Target today with Daisy to get some junk to fill the fridge with. These guys were in the front because I guess someone got their wig split... AT TARGET. There you go folks, anything can happen, anywhere, anytime.



Soon after this picture was taken we emptied this entire refrigerator into our cart. We just can't get enough frozen food.



Then we got some juice,



and chips too. The End.

Premier opened it's doors last month and I stopped by the shop today. Full of nice folks. Nice to see Palo Alto's downtown finally has a streetwear spot.

edit: I found out Premier's been around for THREE years and I've been sleeping. This is just a new location.



Dried fruits from this snootiest market I've ever been to. We bought some dried mango (more like dry vomit) and it was gross. Don't get me wrong I love dried fruit! Especially the dried mango from Coscto. I'm just saying these in particular were gross. Plus everything's like 7 bucks a pound. No thanks.



Chocoholics know about Blanxart Spanish Chocolate. These things are like 80% cocoa. Google it or something.



We were leaving Costco and Wendy was all "Look at the sky! Take a picture hurry!" and right after I took this the sun was completely gone and it was night time.

Oh yeah it's Lunes de Musica.

If you follow Curren$y you saw him tweet this a few hours ago.

Amazing.

My mom got hurt today and it completely broke all of our hearts. Take care of your Mom if you still have one and remember how important she is. She gave you life. I went to the grocery store to pick up some band aids and whatnots for her.

"Your mother's the closest thing to God that you'll ever have kid."



I ran into my friend the aspiring male model, Louis in the parking lot. He goes to Devry.

One day I'm gonna tell my kids the story of how my father bought us an Espresso machine for Christmas one year and from then on we never slept again.

Merry Christmas to all five people who read this blog! You guys are great.

As my gift to you, you guys get to experience the iced out chandelier I have in my bathroom. Just kidding its in the dining room but it'd be swagged out if this bitch was in my bathroom.



Oh and I'm gonna go ahead and let you see what I see when I look down at my iced out feet. Focus real hard and imagine what it's like to be me. Go ahead.. soak it in.. alright stop now, that's all you get. That shit was sweet huh.

Christmas in the hood with the family.

I didn't take too many pictures but this one does a good job of covering all the main ingredients of a Mexican Christmas party in the ghetto. Lots of Carnitas and enormous spoons.

This is about a two weeks late but I had to post it because I've been thinking about it non-stop for the past two weeks and laughing uncontrollably every time I do so.

The incident is no laughing matter. This video is pretty intense and graphic but...

fast forward to 1:00 and watch what happens. Keeps replaying in my head everywhere I go all day.



She was all:

This is as "Christmassy" as the weather's gonna get out here.



"Hey Daisy are you okay with getting your picture taken?"
"Yeah, just not while I'm eating."

Okay.



The girls took me to Atlas and let me pick out my Christmas presents.

Today was a good day.

Bieber Fever.

We go way back. Justin used to hang with us all the time, but then he linked up with Usher and all that noise. Now he has an enormous head and a seam that runs through his torso. Comes with the territory I guess.

I honestly think the Justin Bieber craze is dying down, we caught him doing something like this at the mall.

This is what happens when you try to take a picture of a lunar eclipse with the wrong lens. I failed pretty hard.

This Music Monday has been postponed.

The Wikileaks situation is definitely something everyone should be aware of. Little kids in Africa drink dirty water and die but something tells me you guys would much rather watch Disney Channel's cash cow partying than pay attention.

This video only has about 42k views. Every video of Miloh Cyrius trying to do a bong snap has over 200 thousand views.

Wake up.

Hey, do you guys ever get hungry and go to the grocery store real late at night?

Me either.



Do you guys ever get weird snacks like cheese, sour cream and pistachios?

Me either.

Happy Birthday Wendy.

We planned to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco but that restaurant's attention to their customer's needs is almost nonexistent. Wendy would like to thank everyone who showed up. You guys are great for going through so much to make her birthday so special.

We made our way to a place where the line isn't as long, the food's way better and the people are friendly. Barney's in Albany!



Barney's is serious about their mustard.



I was going to use another picture but Daisy's expression in this one is priceless.



Reunited and it feeeeeels so goooood! (They know what I'm talking about.)



This is Asia, she's been a supporter of La Pink One since it was born about 8 months ago. Thanks for the support Asia! It means a whole lot. Next time I'll do my best to keep that enormous blur out of your picture!

Out in Steven's neck of the woods today. I was over there trying to film the next Steven's Chronicles but things didn't quite work out so we went in a different direction. Steven called up some of his boys and we decided to shoot something with them instead.

The Mobies aint nothin' to f**k with.



While we waited for Steven's boy's to show up we hung out at his pad. I spotted a bunch of oddities at this dudes crib. I don't listen to punk rock but you gotta admit The Misfits logo is pretty dope.



Steven has this really clean awesome smelling fish tank our old boss gave him.



Nice poster Steven. Quadruplets in skinny jeans.



Steven's pet possum. Brownie.



Steven's friends showed up and we got some work done.



These guys are legit.

I really don't have anything to post today.

We had a small Family dinner for Wendy's birthday tonight.

I got my Crème Brûlée on. I'm probably gonna end up becoming a food photographer. If such a thing doesn't already exist I'll be the first to do it.



Then I was all "Daisy let's get a pic of you for the blog," and all I got was "Show everyone how long my natural nails are!"

Okay.

Couple snapshots of what today looked like.

We got a Sonic in Hayward a few months ago and people around here ate a truckload of it and pretended to like it. Their menu is made up of sloppily put together pothead and trucker fuel but their shakes and "slushes" are OUT OF THIS WORLD.



We shot this week's "Steven's Chronicles" tonight. It's top secret until I say so.

I said today's post was going to be bananas. Word is bond.



Oh and it's Music Monday.

Roach Gigz. If you don't know now you know.

I was looking for inspiration on vimeo and boy did I find it.

Last Minutes with Oden is a documentary about a man, his dog and the everlasting bond between the two. I don't like posting media I didn't create but I want you all to see this.

Made everyone at the house cry.

Another installment of Steven's Chronicles. I'm tellin' you this guy always has some crazy story to tell. Always.

edit: DON'T USE DRUGS. STEVEN'S CRAZY. DON'T BE LIKE STEVEN.

Nefarious! Tonight I was hanging out in his very RARE, BASED private home studio. This guy works harder than the average college kid. He's paying for his edumacation by selling beats at crackhead prices. Yes you read that right. He pays for his schooling solely with the money he makes from selling his music. They go for about a hundred a pop and he's making it happen.

I can't say I work as hard as he does. I'm about 90% sure he doesn't sleep.

I've always idolized self-made people. People who achieve success on their own terms. People like my father who's been on his own since he was 15, or guys like Levi Maestro, Johhny Cupcakes, Benny Gold, Dom Kennedy, and Dashes Clay to name a few. The list goes on forever but what I'm saying is these people went out and got theirs. They've showed the world there's more than one way to get to where you wanna be. You can't sit around and wait for a handout or some free shit. Gotta stay hungry.

Anyways, I was looking at my favorites on Youtube and I saw this video from a few years back. When Bape was all over the place and grimey ass cats wore fapes while those who could afford 'em got robbed for the real ones. DJ Nigo is the mastermind behind those air force rip offs and colorful hoodies you saw everyone wearing in '07.

Nigo's a self-made genius.

I don't know what the weather's like on your side of the world but over here it's been raining all day. Non-stop. So we visited Boudin's flagship store/bakery/bistro at the wharf in San Francisco to get something warm and clam chowdery to eat.



I said I wouldn't do a post about food in a long while but I love food in ways only food and I understand. I love taking pictures of food. Food is better looking than a lot of people (Courtney Love, Natalie Nunn, Perez Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker). This sourdough bread bowl isn't just a San Francisco original but it's f***ing amazing with clam chowder or chicken pot pie all up in its hole. Pause.



Wendy's cooler than the coolest cool kid in cooley high.



As soon as you're done enjoying your food they have a bread museum where you can look through this little microscope lookey box that shows you all the germs they put in the bread you just ate. OWNED.



Master Baker Fernando Padilla and his squad of baking goons.



You can pay three dollars and watch these Mexican dudes yell hella profanities at each other while they bake a bunch of bread. They were hiding when I took the picture except for the big one. He realized he was too big to run from the camera.



Self-explanatory.



They had these monitors that asked you a series of questions that helped determine what kind of bread you are. It asked a bunch of pretty standard predictable questions but then it asked these weird questions like, "How many times do you use the bathroom a day?" and "Have you made any trips to the middle east recently?"



It's like this machine's known me my entire life.
