			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>nothing special&#8230;<br />
just letting y&#8217;all know about my boring ass day in San Diego&#8230;.</p>
<p>the drive sucked (I just really hate driving and flying? I did that once, it took longer to fly than drive and even more of a hassle) and of course there was traffic and rain<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/5-SOUTH-GRIDLOCK.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/5-SOUTH-GRIDLOCK-300x300.jpg" alt="" title="5 SOUTH GRIDLOCK" width="300" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8955" /></a><br />
yes, my heads up display reads &#8220;0 MPH&#8221; smh<br />
that shit went on for almost an hour! I woulda paid $200 to avoid it, swear I would have&#8230;.</p>
<p>it gets better (kidding)<br />
a few years ago, like 2006-2007, I would have never driven or flown anywhere for a $10,000 job&#8230;. now? shit I&#8217;ll fly to anywhere in the USA or drive 1.5 hours for it&#8230;. but I wouldn&#8217;t fly outta the USA for less than $50,000 lol</p>
<p>and&#8230;. THE W HOTEL IN SAN DIEGO SUCKS! BIG DINOSAUR BALLS!<br />
smh<br />
I mean&#8230;. last minute, I got a decent deal, but smh<br />
this is the &#8220;W&#8221;<br />
I personally like the Andaz (used to be the Ivy) or the Se or the Hard Rock when it comes to San Diego&#8230; I&#8217;ll even take the Westin (not horton, but regular Westin) when it comes to downtown gaslamp area&#8230;.</p>
<p>cheap ass hotel smh&#8230;.. AND MAD HOMELESS FOLKS OUTSIDE THE HOTEL!<br />
I don&#8217;t mean old folks either! like youngins!<br />

bootleg ass lobby&#8230;.</p>

cheap ass room&#8230;. like 300 square feet and the only room available on the top 3 floors (this is the 19th floor &#8220;fake penthouse&#8221;) but the bathroom was money and the furnishings were kinda money, but not dope like the &#8220;W&#8221; hotels I know or have stayed at.</p>
<p>the view was not so awesome either<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-PENTHOUSE-VIEW2.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-PENTHOUSE-VIEW2-400x299.jpg" alt="" title="W PENTHOUSE VIEW2" width="400" height="299" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8961" /></a><br />

I paid for a &#8220;fabolous room&#8221; which is the &#8220;spectacular room with a fabulous view&#8221; this shit was neither! and I told them! so they discounted the room price, but I&#8217;m still complaining!</p>
<p>whoa! but hold up! don&#8217;t trip that the TV is a 32&#8243; screen which is the size of my old cpu monitor&#8230;..<br />
they got this for you if you get bored!<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-CHALKBOARD1.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-CHALKBOARD1-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="W CHALKBOARD1" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8967" /></a><br />
smh&#8230;. a chalkboard was one of their selling points!<br />
sheeeeeiiutttttt! lol</p>
<p>the room service wasn&#8217;t bad at all&#8230;..<br />
btw, I&#8217;ve had around 75 total carbs since sunday night and I&#8217;ve lost 5lbs with my back on the adam goldston diet&#8230;. I need to chill the fuck out&#8230; I had gained 18lbs. since I met NIC! smh&#8230;. means I&#8217;m happy? but I aint gonna fit into a tux at 190lbs!</p>
<p>so I had a low carb lunch/snack before meeting up with my client&#8230;</p>
<p>handled my simple ass business, of course dude is reading this and tried to bargain, but my prices are pretty much non negotiable because they are very low considering the quality&#8230;.<br />
checked out a few streetwear spots real quick and there was nothing great&#8230;.</p>
<p>after that, I headed over to this sportsbar in the gas lamp&#8230;.. man tues night is definitely dead in Daygo, but in LA, tues night is fucking popping! so I walk into the bar and there&#8217;s mad army/marine cats&#8230; and with all the asians and mexicans that live in the 619, I&#8217;m surprised about how much racial tension/energy I can feel inside this bar&#8230;. even my boy Matt George could see it, but he looks like a US federal agent&#8230;. so he ain&#8217;t gettin fucked with lol.<br />
btw, I heard Fluxx is cracking&#8230;. but again, nobody parties on tuesdays in San Diego and in fact the last time I was in San Diego was with Drake for the Sun God Festival&#8230;.</p>
<p>I had enough and by the 3rd quarter, I shook back to the &#8220;W&#8221; which should be called the &#8220;L&#8221; for LOSING<br />
the bar area and shit is dead back at the telly&#8230;.. if you walk into the westwood &#8220;W&#8221; or the hollywood &#8220;W&#8221;, the lobby is always popping! early!<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-BAR-DEAD.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-BAR-DEAD-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="W BAR DEAD" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8965" /></a><br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-BAR-DEAD2.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/W-BAR-DEAD2-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="W BAR DEAD2" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8966" /></a><br />
straight ghost town!<br />
so only one thing to do while in San Diego and bored&#8230; call Ryan Loco to save you!</p>
<p>and sure enough within 30 minutes&#8230;. my boy Ryan was downstairs lookin like Frank Shamrock lol</p>
<p>shout out to Ryan though because he knew where the &#8220;Rose&#8221; was for real&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ROSE.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ROSE-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="ROSE" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8968" /></a><br />
btw, that&#8217;s like 8 to 10 grams of carbs max for what I drank&#8230;. champagne has very low carbs <img src='http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>we got a little bromance goin and then headed out to this spot in the gaslamp called &#8220;Brians 24&#8243;</p>
<p>the food wasn&#8217;t bad at all. like I would fuck with this spot often and will when I come back&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIANS-24-MENU.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIANS-24-MENU-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="BRIANS 24 MENU" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8969" /></a><br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIANS-24.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BRIANS-24-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="BRIANS 24" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8970" /></a><br />
the place was dead, but I could give a fuck, I just wanted a quiet spot with good food and something easy&#8230;. wasn&#8217;t looking on hitting Nobu without wifey or like Flemings etc&#8230;.. and also, it&#8217;s tricky on what I can eat&#8230;.</p>
<p>so<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/26-CARBS.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/26-CARBS-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="26 CARBS" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8971" /></a><br />
that was 28 grams of carbs total (including the ranch dressing, yes, trust! I&#8217;ve done this before and lost 50lbs.)</p>
<p>but like a jerk&#8230;. Ryan got it in!<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RYAN-LOCO-STEAK.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RYAN-LOCO-STEAK-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="RYAN LOCO STEAK" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8972" /></a><br />
he took away the bread because he felt bad about my diet&#8230;. but he still had them french fries&#8230;. and man! my favorite carbs are french fries and bread! smh oh and pasta!</p>
<p>we chopped it up&#8230;.. was talking about everything from instagram to mma to vegas to Encinitas real estate to Niketalk #NT<br />
speaking of instagram&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/INSTAGRAM-1-STACK.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/INSTAGRAM-1-STACK-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="INSTAGRAM 1 STACK" width="200" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8973" /></a><br />
I hit 1,000 followers on instagram in less than 2 months! that&#8217;s big lol</p>
<p>and now speaking of Niketalk aka #NT me and Ryan met on that forum in 2001/2002 like I met the owners of the Hundreds, met Wale, just blaze, Nick Diamond, Travis McCoy and sooooo many more peeps on there.</p>
<p>chopped it up some more and headed back to the telly<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RYAN-LOCO-KTOWN.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RYAN-LOCO-KTOWN-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="RYAN LOCO KTOWN" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8974" /></a><br />
so 2 bad motherfuckers #NT lol&#8230;. K-TOWN HUSTLER AND MUSCLE 68!<br />
haha, we had to get a flick for instagram!</p>
<p>I musta asked Ryan about 400 questions about MMA shit from steroids to training to everything because Ryan has a MMA radio show &#8220;TAPOUT RADIO&#8221; and he knows everybody in the UFC or MMA world&#8230;..</p>
<p>it got late and he wasn&#8217;t down with sleeping over lol<br />
yo Ryan, mad love, thanks for buying me dinner and the Rose&#8217;! let&#8217;s get up again with the double date steez whether it be Coronado or Wild Animal Park&#8230;. much love again!</p>
<p>so I watched some bullshit ass movie on pay per view and then switched that shit to my ipad netflix and the wifi for $15 was so bootleg also! smh</p>
<p>so woke up early&#8230;.<br />
again the low carb room service breakfast was damn good! like 4 grams total! egg white omelete with turkey sausage and fat free american cheese&#8230;. some fruit and I was good! btw, it&#8217;s been either iced tea or mad water&#8230;.. sucks! NO MEXICAN COKES! NO MEXICAN SPRITES! </p>
<p>and I was ready to shake&#8230; even though the room sucked, it was just a job I drove down for and &#8230;..<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/10-RACKS-RIGHT-QUICK.jpg" rel="lightbox[8954]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/10-RACKS-RIGHT-QUICK-224x300.jpg" alt="" title="10 RACKS RIGHT QUICK" width="224" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8975" /></a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>so I will try not to say too much bad, so I&#8217;ll keep this blog entry 95%  and obviously from my perspective; anyone who got a problem can eat hamster penis&#8217;s&#8230;.</p>
<p>I check into my hotel, upgrade to a corner suite and shit is very official&#8230; the only spot I stay in Vegas is the Vdara and I love it because 1. they have the most official spa and 2. there is no casino which means, grown folks and no extra bs or hepatitis in the pool. oh and 3. they&#8217;re room service is very official!</p>

they gave me a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom suite that was almost the same size of my condo, but with an iller view smh&#8230;.. the suite also had a washer/dryer inside that bitch&#8230;. and what a waste because I didn&#8217;t have a party or anything there&#8230;. </p>
<p>anyways checked into the room and Franchise aka Cat Dicc Jr. was staying at Aria across the street, so he walked over and we headed into magic&#8230; now magic ain&#8217;t what it used to be and it declines in freshness each year since around late 2007&#8230;. I used to come to vegas for 4 days/4 nights easy, but now it&#8217;s 2 nights at most and that&#8217;s even a stretch&#8230;. it was 147 degrees outside and some taxi drivers had the nerve to tell homies of mine that they wouldn&#8217;t turn on the AC because they had to pay for their own gas(wtf? I wish a cab driver would)&#8230;. it was that desert heat that I mentioned before from my palm springs blog, but a little better because there&#8217;s so much to do in vegas, but really my head is screwed up because anytime it&#8217;s 95 degrees at midnight sucks!</p>
<p>so we walk in and Gully and Albie from L-R-G hold us down&#8230;. this time KR3W and Supra are showing downstairs at Project(the fancy part of the Magic) and so I&#8217;m upstairs walking and chatting it up with the regular street wear cats&#8230;. Black Scale, hundreds, crooks, 10 deep, young and reckless, undftd, stussy, famous stars&#8230;. so much of the same and a lot of people didn&#8217;t even show this year as the show gets smaller and smaller (most of the cool brands showed at Agenda a few weeks ago, so it was pointless for them, but some still definitely need to show face)</p>
<p>again, like a damaged digital mp3 file (a broke record really) shit ain&#8217;t what it used to be! Magic used to be packed to the fucking max! it used to be a 6 hour red carpet event for me and my bro Jonas&#8230;. it was always fun and lots of stories&#8230;. but the economy has kicked most clothing brands in the asshole and even took toll on vegas overall&#8230;. I had VIP hosts who were calling me telling me to book a table and if I brought a certain amount of peeps, they&#8217;d comp a bottle or buy 2 bottles and get 1 free (WTF?) but I&#8217;m not poppin corks like I used to, I agree with my boy Lil Duval when he says &#8220;it&#8217;s the broke peeps that are the 1st to spend now&#8221;</p>
<p>so I walked around the same old bullshit, but in a smaller arena and just sorta stayed with the OG&#8217;s in the game (MUCH FUCKING LOVE TO EDDIE CRUZ, JAMES BOND AND ESTEVAN ORIOL)<br />

<a href="http://thehundreds.com">the hundreds</a> shouted me out in their blog and where do I even begin to start off with their brand? I was there from day 1 for real&#8230;. crazy how small me, bobby and ben&#8217;s world is and crazy how I knew Scotty since he was 14 years old smh&#8230;. </p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/KARMALOOPTV.jpg" rel="lightbox[3851]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/KARMALOOPTV-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="KARMALOOPTV" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3867" /></a><br />
doin 1 of my many interviews, this one for Karmaloop TV (I used to do like 10 major interviews each day, now it&#8217;s like 4 really small ones for blogs mostly&#8230;. BUT I&#8217;m still getting asked to do around 200 drops each day smh</p>
<p>so me and CD JR head out to Crystals so he can cop himself an outfit for the evening&#8230;. franchise was already in vegas for party purposes(I wish I was young and retarded like him) so he was supposed to check out before I checked in, but wanted to stay and party a little bit&#8230;. He knows I&#8217;m not much the party guy these days, so I said we gotta chill&#8230; but I created a monster&#8230;.. this little shithead goes out and pops off almost every few nights, but he&#8217;s not much of a champagne hooligan, he&#8217;s more a of grey goose and patron killer</p>
<p>so we walk into Crystals and Louis Vuitton along with the rest of the entire mall is dead! shit is a ghost town! CD Jr cops a louis shirt and some jeans and we shake&#8230;. I see that Gucci Mane and Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana and Birdman are performing each night of magic at Eve nightclub inside Crystals and I&#8217;m like damn&#8230;. shit&#8217;s got that bad that they have RAP acts performing at their 5 star(so called) nightclub establishments? a few years ago, if your jeans were a little baggy, you got escorted outside a nice spot, now they&#8217;re so desperate, they let their zero tolerance law of drugs and shit slide to make some bread(the american way huh?)&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>so it&#8217;s hot as fuck, I go back to my suite and pass out for a few hours&#8230;.<br />
wake up and head over to TV Johnny&#8217;s suite at the Pallazzo for a small get together&#8230;. we chat it up about everything and Johnny&#8217;s showing his clothing line in his room to friends and clients of his&#8230;..<br />
we even got on a live ustream chat for a while and it was funny because one of Johnny&#8217;s clients was there and his wife took over the ustream chat and never really goes onto any social network (FB, myspace, twitter etc) but while viewers were chatting up shit, she would respond to them lol&#8230;. I forgot her and her husbands name, but they were real good peeps&#8230;.<br />
so after eating all of Johnny&#8217;s Shrimps and Chicken, I felt lightweight sick and had to destroy the bathroom at the pallazzo&#8230;. went into the jewelry store to peep out their AP&#8217;s and said, F this&#8230;. let&#8217;s go over to see my homey Steve Aoki spin at Blush inside the Wynn&#8230;..</p>
<p>as I&#8217;m walking around, I see my fam Tal and he tells me, Yo if you are planning on going inside XS tonight, don&#8217;t, the owners Creative Recreation made it clear to the owners and management and anyone relevant related to XS nightclub that they don&#8217;t want me in there&#8230;. word? 4 different VIP hosts said they&#8217;d walk me in, no problem, the list goes on and on and I don&#8217;t want to get anyone in trouble, but peep game&#8230; FUCK CREATIVE RECREATION YOU BITTER BITCH ASS COWARDS! sad because one of the owners is korean and looks like he still eats dogs on a regular along with his gak du gee smh&#8230;. one of the fam over at Supra actually helped create CR8 Recreation, oh the irony?</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m not trippin, I see my OG homey of like 15 years Jermaine Dupri and fellow #SKAMARTIST is in the building and djing next door at Tryst&#8230;. so we chop it up for a sec and I see he&#8217;s with another one of my OLD OLD super old school homey&#8217;s Bree&#8230;. my homegirl Paris is hosting the night, so I chop it up with her and her fam&#8230; Her Dad is like, hey I met you at Paris&#8217;s house before right? You have those diamond teeth&#8230;. I showed him and Kathy my new diamond dice and they chuckled&#8230;.. so Paris is like come with us to XS(don&#8217;t even worry, YOU&#8217;RE ALL GOOD BALLER!)&#8230; btw Paris is dating 1 of the owners of XS who I thought previously had an issue with me, but it&#8217;s clear that it was just the Creative Rectum cats who don&#8217;t like me&#8230;. I actually hugged it out with Jesse and made sure they knew I got love for them 100&#8230;.<br />
the rest of the night I won&#8217;t even mention (don&#8217;t you hate me right now?)</p>
<p>so whatever, I appreciate that after all these years of all people, Paris always has been solid and never fronted on me&#8230; the night was still young and it was 3:30am&#8230;</p>
<p>the homey Franchise was antsy and I felt bad because he had expected me to get it cracking, but there was so much extra extra bullshit I wasn&#8217;t in the mood&#8230;. Franchise met a bad one out there, so I know he wanted to set it off like C4 up in that bitch&#8230; but I took off back to the room while he popped a few and gambled all night</p>
<p>I was gonna hit up the Poker Table at the Bellagio and see if there were any old familiar faces and order some food there, but I was too tired&#8230; so I ordered room service&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LATENIGHT-ROOM-SERVICE.jpg" rel="lightbox[3851]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LATENIGHT-ROOM-SERVICE-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="LATENIGHT ROOM SERVICE" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3873" /></a><br />
that&#8217;s how it comes to your room after 1am lol&#8230;. I&#8217;m not mad!</p>
<p>I passed out and woke up to a call from my lil bro Rob Kardashian who needed to cop a g-shock and had been asking for a while now&#8230;. oh yeah, congrats on your new Panamera S too lil homey&#8230;..<br />
so later in the day I had my gf roll to my store and pick up the watch and then meet Rob by my sisters house because she&#8217;s neighbors to Lamar and Khloe (where Rob lives lol)</p>
<p>anyways&#8230;.. bout to get my day 2 started and I head over to the Aria because again CD Jr decides to stay a 2nd night and doesn&#8217;t have any clothes&#8230;. lucky for him that I lost 50 lbs and don&#8217;t wear 2xl size clothes anymore&#8230; so I let him hold down a nice short sleeve henley and some fresh supras and we get it in at the cafe&#8217; downstairs&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/EGGS-BENNY.jpg" rel="lightbox[3851]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/EGGS-BENNY-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="EGGS BENNY" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3869" /></a><br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PHILLY-CHEESE.jpg" rel="lightbox[3851]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PHILLY-CHEESE-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="PHILLY CHEESE" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3870" /></a><br />
the Aria&#8217;s cafe is pretty much like most of the cafe&#8217;s in any 4 star or better hotel in las vegas &#8220;good enough&#8221; that&#8217;s it&#8230;. nothing can touch Bellagio Cafe still to this day</p>
<p>so me and CatDicc Jr head over to Magic and it&#8217;s the same shit again&#8230; except! this time it&#8217;s more crowded&#8230;. not saying much ever since they moved into a much smaller venue, but it was busier wednesday than it was on tues&#8230;. so I did my rounds again and this day I took at least 100+ pictures with fans and blog readers&#8230; I got love for everyone period&#8230;. for all of you who think my life in interesting, I think you should punch yourselves because I live a basic life&#8230;.. but I do respect the working man and I have a bleeding heart for anyone out of work. &#8220;it&#8217;s not about being better than anyone else, it&#8217;s about being better than you used to be&#8221;</p>
<p>I did see a lot of cats wearing jewelry at the convention this year and a lot was wack and some of was decent&#8230;. but I was thinking damn I used to walk Magic with over a million in jewels on and security guards smh&#8230;. who the fuck did I think I was? Ben the Baller? </p>
<p>anyways&#8230;. THE MOST BALLER SHIT I&#8217;VE SEEN IN MY 7 YEARS OF MAGIC WAS NOT THE CRAZY JEWELRY OR CELEBS OR 12 FOOT ROBOTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT&#8230;. (although the bedazzled santa pendant was pretty amazingly retarded on a small bus level) it was my homey Charlie from IMPRM who brought a real live baby WHITE TIGER TO THE SHOW!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>yes, I have some nice PVD chains to show you guys, but let me finish(yes kanye)</p>
<p>What random and boring weekend, but it was just what I needed&#8230;.<br />
<strong>Friday</strong><br />
me and my girl hit up our usual 2x a week hike at Runyon Canyon&#8230;. ate a healthy breakfast then got my day started and didn&#8217;t have to vomit from all the exercise&#8230;. YEEEEAAAYUHHHHH!</p>
<p>later in the day, I got to link with a homey of mine who I met off Niketalk and benballer.com back in the day who&#8217;s also down with the G.O.O.D. folks (ye, ibn, don c) and we haven&#8217;t talked in a long ass time! he copped a lot of OG 1 of 1 methamphibians back in the day and my guy Ian always dressed fresh, kept it consistent with the grown man steez and always pushed something less obvious&#8230; lol. He was in a new body Arnage this time smh lol&#8230;<br />
We sat down at the Polo Lounge and I didn&#8217;t know what to expect, but he tried on a bunch of different things I brought and loved the quality, but decided to keep it G and went with a tight prong set diamond stud chain&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/YSL-CARDHOLDER.jpg" rel="lightbox[2782]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/YSL-CARDHOLDER-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="YSL CARDHOLDER" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2786" /></a><br />
this is what Ian works with lol&#8230; not the typical gucci or LV type cat&#8230; I fux with you Ian!</p>
<p>As we were having our lunch, it was pretty open inside which was nice, but I heard some girl screaming loud talking like she was me but prettier(not so much anymore smh) and that girl was Kimora Lee&#8230;. I remember when she was a seat filler for award shows and then when her and Russell hooked up and I was hoping she didn&#8217;t see me because she is 1 of very few people who could out talk me smh&#8230;. I&#8217;ll end this part of the story right here, because fucking just because haha.</p>
<p>Anyways, I shake out of the meeting late and decide not to head back to &#8220;IF&#8221;, but instead I decide to head home and watch as many episodes of True Blood as I can possibly watch&#8230;. I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m so late on this shit! I once channel surfed and thought this show was based during the 1800&#8242;s because of a scene I saw and some of the ads looked really gothic and old, but DAMN! they do bad on this show and get their major fuck on! other than that, the story is really good and I&#8217;m NOT into vampire shit&#8230;. I made some Tofurkey sandwiches for dinner which is my new addiction&#8230;. vegans/vegetarians have come a very very long way since garden burgers, etc&#8230; this really tastes like meat, so I&#8217;m substituting this for turkey or whatever meat I was eating in sandwiches indefinitely.</p>
<p>oh yeah&#8230; I finished making the matching diamond buckles for my boy Rex&#8217;s 16 carat (now 17 carat diamond g-shock 6900&#8242;s)<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/17CT-G-DIA-BUCKLES.jpg" rel="lightbox[2782]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/17CT-G-DIA-BUCKLES-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="17CT G DIA BUCKLES" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2784" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Saturday&#8230;.</strong><br />
woke up to a tofurkey egg white sammich and some granola and yogurt (I&#8217;m really trying to lose 8lbs) and because I went to bed so early&#8230; I woke up at 8am WTF? man&#8230; for those who don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;ve been waking up around 7am to 8am for the last 3 months and getting a lot of shit done&#8230;. but never on the weekend am I up and about at 8am&#8230; I was kinda confused&#8230; but my girl wakes up this early every day, so she&#8217;s used to it. We head to go say Hi to moms in ktown&#8230;. grab some treats then head down to IF&#8230;. I check my mail and see my boy Ryan Loco has given me the illest gift someone could give me in the year 2009 (no joke)<br />

<p>So we head over to the Grove to check out Shrek and I&#8217;m like eh, looks good, I&#8217;m kinda hyped, but whatever, I&#8217;m sort of over 3-D as it makes me dizzy sometimes&#8230; BUT after watching Shrek Forever, the final chapter, it was one of the best movies I&#8217;ve prolly seen this year, no joke&#8230; during the movie I&#8217;m texting back and forth to a friend negotiating some deals on Kaws 4 foot companions&#8230;. shit ain&#8217;t no childs play like the 1000% be@rbrick&#8217;s&#8230;. these shits hit $10,000 + per companion&#8230;.. smh&#8230; so I got 1, but I want all 6, so I bought a few and added to my collection&#8230;. and I&#8217;ll be picking them up later this evening with the help of my homey Alex because Homicide is being a hater and won&#8217;t let me use his truck haha.</p>
<p>Head back to the crib and decide to stay indoors because I&#8217;m too disgusted with myself at this point to be outside in public after spending that kind of paper on toys(could have bought that Nissan Cube fully loaded and some rims!)&#8230;. but I gotta tell myself the shit IS art and these are true art sculptures and are worth a lot of money and Kaws is done making anymore 4 foot companions for Medicom corp.</p>
<p>So we head back home and watch some True Blood and a movie I tivo&#8217;d called My Sister&#8217;s Keeper which is based on a true story about a family who has a daughter who has leukemia and decides to have another child specifically as a donor child to prolong or save the life of their daughter with cancer&#8230;. the donor child daughter gets keen to this and sues her family for medical emancipation and all kinds of shit breaks loose in the movie&#8230;. shit was emotional and I was like damn! 2 good movies in 1 day? lol</p>
<p>while I&#8217;m feeling like a complete dickhead for spending a lot of money earlier in the day&#8230;. My boy Jordan texts me and tells me about his recent dickfuck purchase&#8230;. He bought a prop from one of the original Batman movies&#8230;. he bought a Penguin from the Batman movie with Danny DeVito in it. lol<br />
<a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JORDAN-PENGUIN-SMH.jpg" rel="lightbox[2782]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JORDAN-PENGUIN-SMH-225x300.jpg" alt="" title="JORDAN PENGUIN SMH" width="225" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2787" /></a><br />
after I saw this pic via MMS, I felt a lot better about my purchase. lol&#8230;.. Jordan you crazy fuck! </p>
<p>As I&#8217;m about to lay down and sleep&#8230;. I get a frantic call from my friends from Do More Media&#8230;. Dustin and Cody&#8230;. I don&#8217;t know if their girls read my blog, but all I can say is I saved the day! <img src='http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  thanks for the Veuve rose&#8217; guys!</p>
<p><strong>Sunday</strong><br />
wake up early again, but got in 8 hours of un-interrupted sleep&#8230;. I see my boy Alchemist is on ustream from his airplane seat, so I decided to talk some shit&#8230;.. he&#8217;s like YANGGG! YOU 1/2 JEWISH PIECE OF SHIT lol&#8230;. I retort and that&#8217;s how I speak to all my loved ones&#8230;<br />
then me and my girl head over for some family time at my Mom&#8217;s shop&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/CAM-BB.jpg" rel="lightbox[2782]"><img src="http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/CAM-BB-400x300.jpg" alt="" title="CAM BB" width="400" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2790" /></a><br />
killer Cam</p>
<p>As I have a flashback to my childhood when I used to be forced to go to Church every single sunday (fyi I hated church) I have a conversation with one of my old korean chingoo&#8217;s from k-town and he tells me a fucked up story&#8230;. typical Korean religious bullshit that could only happen to a religious korean family smh&#8230;. So his parents are getting a divorce because his mom over the last year has been giving this con man at their church (I believe he is the pastor too smh) who promised his mom that Jesus would come to their house and change their lives! My boy&#8217;s mom gave the guy almost 2 million dollars of their family&#8217;s life savings! 2 MILLION DOLLAR$$$$!!!!! Once his dad found out, he went bezerk and big time spazzed out! She said Jesus is really coming! what is wrong with you! So the dad said &#8220;If Jesus comes to our house on May 20th, I&#8217;ll forgive you&#8221; &#8230;. well Jesus never showed up smh&#8230;. I asked my boy this&#8230;.. &#8220;real talk though, BUT WHAT IS JESUS REALLY CAME?&#8221; lol</p>
<p>anyways, we spend time with my entire family and I missed out on my boy Kai&#8217;s new store opening at Kingsbury on 3rd street&#8230;. &#8220;SHOP LIKE KINGS&#8221; sorry fam, I will definitely stop by today or tomorrow.</p>
<p>finally head over to my girls house and her mom cooked Chicken Adobo for me! man&#8230; </p>

chicken adobo with potatoes and rice and a dr pepper while watching my lake show? are you kidding me? I&#8217;m in heaven!</p>
<p>watched my depressing Lakers lose to the punk ass Suns, but I&#8217;m like you know what? we&#8217;re still 10-3 in the playoffs which is tied for best with the Celtics&#8230; we play like shit and still barely lose&#8230;. Bynum you big waste of space! you&#8217;re softer than soup! 4 fouls and 2 points? smfh&#8230;. anyways, we&#8217;ll see Boston in the finals&#8230; it was written.</p>
<p>headed over to Yogurt Land to get right and end my night on a brighter note&#8230;. then headed back to the trap to clean up&#8230;. got restless and didn&#8217;t go to bed til 3:15am which is the latest I&#8217;ve been up in a few months&#8230;. but was up bright and early this morning at 8am!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing really exciting in the life of K-Teezy(I always say this&#8230;.)<br />
woke up Saturday early to run some errands&#8230;<br />
FIRST STOP! MY GOOD DEED AND SOMETHING I HAD TO DO FOR THE VICTIMS OF HAITI! a friend of a friend is from Haiti and so she created a few drop spots for clothes, blankets or anything to help the poor unfortunate people of Haiti&#8230;. I went by there along with some friends and dropped off a ton of gear.<br />

I felt better, but I&#8217;m still fucked up by the images of the families and how many people died or are dying there now&#8230;..</p>
<p>next, I hit the 818 to see a doctor about my headaches&#8230;. he asked me if I smoked cannabis and I said, why? lol&#8230;.. so after I left the docs, headed back to the westside to eat on sawtelle&#8230;. while waiting to be seated, I walked over to Giant Robot to see what be@rbricks they had in&#8230;. they had a few 100%&#8217;s. so I copped 1 why not. I asked my friend to pick one out&#8230; I was hoping for a tetris one or hello kitty one or the spongebob&#8230;. she chose the shittiest one of the bunch! smh lol&#8230;</p>
<p>anyways, after that we head to go see my boy Spencer who plays for the Bruins&#8230; it was UCLA vs USC the og cross town and internationally known rivalry&#8230;. the game was fun to check, but damn we got blown the fuck out. UCLA was never in the game really&#8230;. I mean we weren&#8217;t aggressive enough and it was just aggravating as hell. We did get free UCLA tees for sitting in our section <img src='http://cdn.ifandco.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

during half time, the ucla football coach said some inspiring words to try to get the crowd motivated&#8230;. and brought out their bowl game trophy and it might have got the crowd amped, but wasn&#8217;t enough for the players it seems&#8230;.. I think we coulda beat them, but again, I must be bad luck because we just didn&#8217;t attack the hole at all!</p>

pauley pavilion always brings back crazy memories of my childhood and dreams to one day play there, so I give it up to spencer(5&#8217;6&#8243; asian american playing ball at a Div I school) PROPS HOMEY! and thank you for the tickets again! always appreciated.</p>
<p>so after the game, it was early evening and it was cold as a bitch outside(for LA lol) so I headed back home to figure out what I was gonna do for the evening and I didn&#8217;t want to stay in. I got a text from my homey&#8217;s that there was a DCMA event goin on and I knew if anything I had to show my face for sure. So I chilled at the crib for a lil bit and then headed out to the Roxy to see my fam&#8230;.<br />

<p>After the DCMA show, I walked across the street to pay my respects to my fam and OG Mark Mahoney at his tattoo shop, he was the 1st person to ever tattoo me. he is basically GOD in the tattoo world. before there was cartoon or before almost anyone, there was Mark Mahoney, Jack Rudy and Freddy Negrete who ran the OG world of fine line black and gray tattoos&#8230; Mark has always been an amazing human being to me and has more class than any school or university does on this planet&#8230;. when you get an amazing tattoo from him, the tattoo is free, you&#8217;re paying for his company and the stories! MISS YOU MARK! LOVE YOU BIG OG!<br />
