I was thinking about what it was like to be a kid. Everything was so easy and we had nowhere to go but up. I grew up in the 90's when everything was too cool for school. Movies were better, the food was cooler, and toys were still dangerous.

Nowadays there's a support group for everything, schools have metal detectors, the show Teen Mom exists and all music's more commercialized than it ever was. But we have iphones.

I went around asking everyone what their favorite piece of the 90's was.

Me (Jorge):

Sega Genesis | It introduced me to video games back in '97.



AJ:

L.A. Gears | With them glow ass lights.



Steven (Steven's Chronicles):

Under The Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers | I was like 4 years old when I first heard it and now when I hear it I think of my childhood and it calms me down.



Daisy:

Ring Pops | It was jewelry you could eat! And they weren't gay like candy necklaces.



Wendy:

Yeo's Soy Milk | I love it because the taste hasn't changed.




Adrian:

Transformers Diecast Toys

I work at an old broken down movie theatre in Newark. People always say it smells like old people, its dirty, and teens just come here to have sex. It's all true, but I didn't write this post for those reasons. I wrote this because the staff has always been bugged out by the weird shit that happens during the night shifts. Apart from the meth heads and girls who huff air duster in the back everyone's always talking about the shadows they see and the voices they hear in the auditoriums.

I always thought it was a bunch of bull until I found out an employee killed himself upstairs in the booth a few years after this place opened. From that point on people would quit their jobs on the spot after claiming they'd seen that guy's "ghost". Last week our janitors quit because they couldn't handle it anymore.

Who knows if this place is really haunted. I don't lose any sleep over it.

Here's a new video shot by Keane otherwise known as Dashes Clay & his boy Dirty Magz with Erk Tha Jerk “Reach The Top” filmed over the course of two days in Richmond and Oakland.

This one get's La Pink One's seal of approval.

I've been living like a hermit for the past two days so I left the house at the ass crack of dawn today to get back on my grind. You know what they say, "you take a day off and you're way off."



After a morning of class, answering emails and making phone calls regarding my latest illegal escapade I made it across the San Mateo bridge for lunch with Wendy. We had Indian food at Bombay Garden. It was my first time having Indian food and it definitely won't be my last. Great variety, tons of flavor and more importantly tons of rice. Rice and I got a relationship only Rice and I understand.

Twitter said Bel Biv DeVoe's gonna be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight and when I think of Bel Biv Devoe I think of Poison. A song that came out a year before I was even born.

A lot of girls said this song was written about them but I'm pretty sure you'd be at least 40 years old right now if this song was inspired by you. Not saying that's old, I'm just saying you're not 40.

It's still Music Monday and Polyester takes the cake today.

He's the man with the vocals. He's got a really fast paced work ethic and you gotta keep up. He came in, did his thing, and blew our minds. No time wasted.

He's got a positive attitude and that's key. His album's called "Peace Love Unity Respect," all the ingredients to a wholesome life of progression.

If you haven't heard of him quit sleeping:





He's a beast when he gets in the booth. Thanks to Poly's cameraman for letting me use his lens for this shot.

Today's gonna be a bountiful Music Monday.

I'm a fan of all kinds of music even though I only post hip hop on here, there are exceptions. I'm a huge Maroon 5 fan and I follow the guys on Twitter. A month ago the band's lead singer tweeted this and I haven't forgot it since.

Even a mainstream recording artist like Adam Levine can admit one of the music industry's truest truths:

AJ tweeted the link to this video a few minutes ago and it made me realize there's a whole gang of talent out there that's going unheard and unappreciated.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, or the SFMOMA, seemed like a good idea on a rainy day like today.

Most of the art was pretty interesting but I gotta say my favorite exhibit was "EXPOSED". It's all about photography and cameras and surveillance and privacy and what not. They had that famous photograph of a Viet Cong general being executed and a bunch of other cool graphic stuff. BUT, you can't take pictures of any of part of it. Sorry guys. I really am.

Not being able to take too many pictures didn't really bother me because I was more intrigued by the Museum itself. The whole thing is a one enormous piece of art. I took this picture when I was standing on the catwalk at the very top of the Museum, 4 stories up in the air, where every noise you make gets recorded and blasted back at you from every direction including right under you.



Even the ceilings at this place look nice.



I brought my little sister Daisy along. She doesn't like getting her picture taken. Weird I know.



Im guessing this Museum will turn into a giant boat the next time the world floods like in the Bible days and these holes were placed here to reduce wind resistance. Wow, that joke was awful. I'm not changing it.





This piece made me think of a really fancy dress. All shiny and shit.



They had these dark rooms everyone was crowding all around, some rooms were playing weird shit like grass growing in real time or a recording of a room in night vision (looked like the next paranormal activity). This one was playing some documentary about what the Ghettos they kept Jews in look like today.



The view from the museum isn't all that. We were looking out at the buildings when it hit me...



I found Waldo's sneaky ass. Again.

I keep telling everyone this is that super storm all those scientists kept warning us of about a month ago. I keep saying "I told you so." Moose and Aj know what I'm talking about.

I didn't really want to go out today, it all looked too cold and scary from where I was sitting.



If I had the money and trunk space I'd buy every bag.



I watched that new Martin Lawrence movie. I counted how many times I laughed. FOUR. I want those two hours back.



I came home and saw this all over the place. I guess it snowed in Hayward.

I missed Music Monday by a day but that doesn't mean anything.

Too many Hip Hop know-it-alls sleep on DOOM, the metal faced rapper. Most of the people I've asked have either only heard of him or don't know who he is. What's up with that? If you watch Adult Swim or The Boondocks you've heard MF DOOM.








"Hold a cold one, like he hold a old gun, like he hold the microphone and stole the show for fun"





AJ's new MF DOOM inspired macbook art. Looks pretty good.

If you don't trust my taste in Music maybe you'll trust Mos Def's. Maybe.

It's St. Patrick's Day.

A Corporate Holiday dedicated to love. Forget Valentine's Day, show your better half how much you care about her or him everyday. Don't go out and buy them a buncha crap today. Save your monies and use it as bus fare or gas money.

So creative.

I haven't been out and about like I usually am because, believe it or not, I have a life that goes beyond the blog.

My little buddy Enzo's a crazy young mutt who's always all over the place but lately he hasn't been feeling well. A couple of days ago I noticed his skin was all red and puffy and the fur on his chest was starting to fall out. This morning I finally made time to take him in to see a Vet. I guess he's severely allergic to almost everything a dog can be allergic to. The Vet said it's one of the worst cases he's seen so far and he put him on a bunch of medications. Now Enzo's all sad and weak.

The Vet said if he gets any worse we should consider putting him down because he probably won't live a very comfortable life.

Forever Alone.

Just kidding. Even if she was, there's nothing wrong with being alone. Except for everything. Kidding again.

The Super Bowl was yesterday and you know we had to eat a ton of food and watch that 5 hour football game!



An amazing dark beer with AJ's dark wolfman arm.



Doesn't get any better than Tacos de Carnitas folks.



Adrian keeps the iPhone locked on the dopest blog out.



The Packers won, I guess.



Jaime telling Adrian why the Steelers should have won and how the Packers made a deal with the Devil to win.



You get the idea.



I gotta thank Adrian's family for being so hospitable yesterday. We all had a great time.

Music Monday for the skig skags and skaliwags who still remember what that is. This one's been our song for a while now. None of us do any drugs but that doesn't make this song any less BADASS.

I'm too tired to put the entire Super Bowl post up tonight so I'll save it for later.

Here's a teaser.

I was exploring my artistic process when I shot this. (Lil B voice) I captured the essence of those dust particles. In other words I had nothing to do today.

The Three Brochachos got together tonight. Everybody loves smoking outta the ol' Hookah and that includes us.

The Legendary Palace in Oakland's Chinatown.

Hands down best Dim Sum in Oakland. Before I tell you how great this place is I'm gonna go ahead and address how rude the staff was. One of the guys saw the camera and got way too excited which wasn't really rude but he got all touchy with the device and that was NOT the move. He kept asking questions like "How much it cost?" and "Can I see?" while I was stuffing my face like a god damn pig. Like in most Dim Sum places, ladies push carts with these little basket things full of food in em. One of the ladies kept passing us up and she got upset when I had to raise my voice so she could hear me. Other than that the food's great and the place is clean and enormous.

What you see below are chicken feet. A delicacy. So tender and fun to eat.



I don't remember what this was but it was my favorite thing on the menu. The flavor was all over the place. Made me wanna drink the sauce it came in.



Some serious Wet Beef Chow Fun action. I'm gonna keep the food blogs down to about one food post a week. Ah who am I kidding I'm gonna keep eating and blogging the best food the bay has to offer. Ain't nothin wrong with that.



They had these mushrooms at a tiny herbal shop we saw on our way to the car. They're supposed to make you see your dead loved ones and demons in your life. There you go, a legal way to get you some weird dried mushrooms.
