Music Monday! Fake Blood! I Think I Like It! GO!

I'm not really a religious person but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good lord praising. Happy Sunday.

Where La Pink One lives.

SPOILER ALERT
I watched "Cars 2" last night and I figured I might as well give you guys a little preview where I spoil the entire movie with three pictures. It's a great movie for kids and adults alike, it'll teach your kids to be nicer and get along with the other little kids and it'll keep the adults awake because of all the car jargon and the complicated, and I mean COMPLICATED plot. Don't worry though, the guys and I put our brains together so we could totally oversimplify the entire movie for you guys. Enjoy.

The movie starts off with Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy talking a whole lot of nothing. Then at one point we're introduced to this Mafia of Lemons who are jealous of all the nice fast cars. They're all led by this villain car with a really bad engine who wants to sell everyone bad fuel. He disguises his voice and looks like this the whole movie.



At the same time this guy's always acting kind of fishy and he makes these mean eyes at everyone. GET THE HINT.



Then some stuff blows up and the cars race a couple times, and before you can figure anything out they pop the sketchy car's hood and realize he was the villain car who was selling everyone bad fuel all along. The End. He would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling... cars?

It's officially Summer when these come out. I didn't buy anything from the guy I just told him to hold for the picture.

After a bunch of scheduling mishaps I finally got to meet the guy behind one of my favorite blogs. Nate here owns and runs the Burrito Leaks website.

Burritos are a pretty significant part of Californian Cuisine if you ask me. I say Californian because they're not really Mexican. Sure they have Carne Asada and refried beans and all that Mexican stuff but they're not really Mexican because someone in the US invented them and a lot of people in Mexico haven't even heard of them. They're little sleeping bags full of food and Nate loves them so much he made a blog all about burritos.

Burrito Leaks has their own Android app out and they're working on an iPhone app that tells you where all the burritos are. Genius. If you want to know what he thought of the burrito he's eating in the pictures check out the leak here.

Don't forget about Enzo.

It's his birthday today. He's 1 now and during his short time on earth he almost died twice but he's an Ayala and it aint that easy to take us out. He's still here, trackin mud in the house and all.

I can't get this song out of my head and for that Big Sean gets his own Music Monday.

edit: YouTube took it down. Ah shucks.

I love me some Milk Duds. I'd been wanting to dedicate a post to them for a while but I guess I just never got around to it and on top of that every time I'd tell someone I was gonna blog about Milk Duds they looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe I am crazy, or maybe Milk Duds are great.

They're simple. La Pink One is simple. We go together like peanut butter and haggis.



I felt like if I was gonna put them on here I had to get access to a blogworthy amount. I didn't wanna go through all the trouble of writing about my love for the timeless candy without at least a couple hundred boxes of em. It just didn't seem right.



I made a few phone calls to some people who owed some people and just like that I hit the mother load.

We visited the Benny Gold store in SF today.

I for one am really inspired by Benny Gold's story. I feel like there's so much creativity and positivity and every other good word that ends with "-ivity" that comes from his brand. He makes me proud to say I'm from the Bay Area.



This is easily my favorite piece in the shop right now. I asked whose hand it was and Benny told us the picture was shot one day when he was skating. "I fell and I thought I was fine, but when I touched my head and looked back at my hand it looked like that. I know it's more gory than my tees tend to be, but I felt like it was important to make this shirt because it's not about falling, it's about getting up." That's the positivity I'm talking about.

The tee reads: "SUCCESS COMES TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO FAIL."



This mat is ten times cooler than the regular "Welcome" mat I see sometimes.





Benny Gold is a Thorocraft stockist.



The whole shop looks great, inside and out.



We ran into the legend (Benny Gold himself) down the street from the shop. He was carrying some shirts that aren't even out yet. That exclusive enough for you?

Benny's dog Levi is like any other celebrity dog, too cool.



Stay Gold.

Last night I dreamt I got arrested and had to sit in a cold empty cell for what seemed like an eternity. I woke up and I was so happy it was all a dream that I started tearing up. After I was done quietly sobbing I hit up the L&L Hawaiian Barbecue down the street and called it a day.



You can never go wrong with the the Chicken Katsu.

It's Monday and if you've been rockin with La Pink One from the beginning you know what it is.

Today's Music Monday goes out to: Leimert Park, what's cool? (Apparently that's the slogan)

Im dubbing this my song for the summer.

Nipsey Hussle, All Money In.

Our friends over at The Soul Dojo are hosting a Beat Showcase in Los Angeles on the 18th. If you're in LA and you're reading this go to the Brewery Lofts and camp out until then.

It's Monday and Vnasty spits like a guy. I'm not gonna pretend like I'm not down with the White Girl Mob.

I went to Adrian's bachelor pad and AJ was giving him a haircut. I don't know why I chose to include that in today's post, I just did.



Also, ice cream.



AJ's a drug dealer at his school, he could kill you if he wanted.



I asked them to put all 84 flavors in my cup. Worst idea I've had in a long time.

These 11 hour work shifts will start to wear a guy out after a few weeks but, a good beer always helps slow things down. I gotta thank my boy Ruben for introducing me to his friend Victoria. I think we're gonna get along just fine.
