and why not? the weather was beautiful all weekend and I needed to rest….
was headed out to San Diego for the weekend to see Bill Maher at the Humphreys by the Bay theater… but the seats I got weren’t too great, so I’m gonna see his other show and we just both wanted to stay in and I wanted to work on upgrades on my house….

so I woke up and headed over to 1 of my favorite eat & shopping spots; Barney’s New York…. the top floor, Barney’s Green Grass is great for brunch!

Barney’s is 1 of the only places on earth where no matter what I can find something to wear and buy…. so that = DANGEROUS!

ran around town looking at furniture…. a old high school alumni of mine Chris owns a store called Blueprint by my house, so I checked out a few things…. but wasn’t certain, hit up CB2 and West Elm and Haus and some other spots that were out of my budget (small tiny chairs for $6,000 = not baller, but sultan/prince money)…. so as I’m walking out of CB2 to walk into Trader Joe’s…. this lanky tall dude walks next to me and scares the shit out of me, I thought he wanted a hand out or some money…. but it was the little homey Drama(from Fantasy Factory) and I chopped it up with him for a sec before we shook to the Grove.

Me and nic headed to see the Switch at the Grove….. had to get our iced Vanilla Latte’ and the movie was pretty good….. can’t believe it didn’t do better at the box office…. I’ve never been a fan of Jennifer Anniston, but I’ve been a fan of Jason Bateman since I was 8 years old…. I’m glad he made a crazy comeback.

headed back to the trap and met up with Homicide….. we took Homicide to eat at Vegan Glory…. Homicide is one of my very few friends who has a crazy open mind…. most people wouldn’t even think to try eating Vegan, but he’s been a fan of healthy food for a while now…. DON’T GET IT FUCKED UP THOUGH, WE BOTH EAT LIKE SHIT AND HAVE ATE LIKE SHIT FOREVER! I mean, we could eat pizza’s the size of wagon wheels, eat McDonalds and so on and so forth…. after 1 single bite of the 1st dish, Craig was a fan like a famished child tasting a t-bone steak.
we ordered a lot of dishes and he was like this is crazy! Vegan Glory is really that good…. Real Foods Daily is very good too and It’s been around longer, but Vegan Glory is just better.

After that, he showed me pics of his new 4 foot kaws companion and we just chopped it up at the crib for a while… then me and nic watched the Outsiders since she’d never seen it before. (classic fucking movie)

SATURDAY

Saturday morning, I wanted to still head out of town lightweight, but some place warm…. then after browsing online it just got too late to make a spontaneous proper move…. I just got bad news that my pops had a really bad 24 hours, so bad that they have to postpone his surgery which was supposed to happen today or tomorrow. sucks…. so I went to go visit him….

after that, my girl made breakfast and then we headed to the brand new Santa Monica Place outdoor mall….. I remember hitting this place when I was 8 years old and loved this spot! well after a while, this place started to fall the fuck off and 4 years ago I remember it starting to look a abandoned spot in Cabo…. only like 30% of the stores were open and it was depressing to look at… well now this shit is really REALLY nice! from Ted Baker to Louis Vuitton to a Joe’s Jeans and many other stores…. a nice bloomingdales and off the hook food court makes this the spot to hit on the westside or the beach side. On the top floor where the food court is, are also 3 or 4 nice restaurants, so we decided to try out the Mexican restaurant, La Sandia and I’m picky about mexican food…. I mean, El Cholo in Koreatown (the OG spot, Jack Nicholson’s fave) is one of the best nicer mexican restaurants, another spot on the Boyle Heights/Downtown LA/East Los border I forget is really nice and then there’s Casa Vega and Lare’s which are both outstanding and undeniable…..

well Javiars in the OC pretty much blows a lot of these LA spots away because of their decor and the view they have (crystal cove, not irvine smh) and their food and bar is off the chain… but this new spot La Sandia had great food! their bar shit on Javiars and my only complaint was they served black beans and not re-fried…. but it was real good…

(click on pics to enlarge)

they make guacamole to your liking at your table and the shit is crazy good!

I got the beef barbacoa enchilada’s and murked them early!

Nic got the Iron Skillet Shrimp Tacos which I later murked too…

and then we decided to walk around the samo place for a little while and do some shopping

then we shook across the street and walked down the 3rd street Promenade for a while…. this was overall more walking than Runyon Canyon in 1 full revolution smh….
this was the only thing worth taking a pic of:

I get a call from my boy Noel from SURU and he tells me that my new be@rbrick which was due to release in Sept. got to him early! So I get to valet asap! and head over to melrose!

before I stop at SURU, I stop at Marc Jacobs to pick up a few pairs of my favorite boxers and a small wallet for me and for nic and now I don’t need to use my rubber band wallet I was using (I had to retire all my louis vuitton coin purse wallets that have the chain that attach to the belt loops because THEY ARE SO FUCKING PLAYED OUT NOW! SMH @ clowns who wear them outside their pockets)

SO ANYWAYS….. BACK TO THE BEST,
Suru as I’ve mentioned many times on this blog before is a boutique store on Melrose that carries everything from fresh tees and clothes to unique watches and art and books and just great gifts, but most importantly….THEY HAVE THE MOST OFFICIAL LEGIT MEDICOM BE@RBRICK ACCOUNT IN THE WEST COAST! yuppppp….. I got most of my 1000%’s there and this time I got mines early!

this time it’s the “MY FIRST BE@RBRICK BABY” series but in the Raiders Black and Silver!

and my wall updated (I need to grab the 3 from my store and 1 from elsewhere)

so then I get on the horn with my boy Rob Kardashian and he tells me that him and his step dad are rollin to Playhouse for a short bit and I say…. naw I’m good…. I’m gonna chill at the trap and relax….

me and my girl hit up Fresh & Easy and get some groceries and head to the crib and she made dinner…. we watched a bunch of TV again and I passed out at like midnight like a 9th grader….

___________________________________________________________________________
SUNDAY

so I check on pops condition and he’s got a blood infection and isn’t doing so well….but he’s not in ICU, but also shouldn’t have too much excitement or people around as I don’t want to irritate him or my moms and so I make sure he knows my energy is there with him….

I head out to continue my furniture shopping around town and narrow it down to a few spots….

I finally found my chandelier and my dining table

okay

So I’m getting rid of my circular glass and iron dining table with 4 chairs. Nice but doesn’t match my place anymore…. Goodwill or slang it? If anyone’s interested and local… I’ll let it go for cheap! I paid over $1,000 bucks for it and just want it gone along with a bunch of other shit that I need to put on ebay…

I can’t wait to install my new shades and new wooden mini blinds…. and then the new black granite counter tops… paint some accents and I’m chillin for a lil bit til I cop a new spot

I get a call from my lil homey Apolo who acts like a big homey at times and I forgot he was in town…. we chop it up and I tell him to come meet us up at the Century City mall to see Piranha 3-D, but he’s too smart and say’s let’s do dinner later instead…..

now rottentomatoes for the most part has been pretty damn good to me and I thought this movie would be dumb, but it got a 81% rating on there and thats high as fuck! so I forced my girl to go watch it with me…..
the movie rolls, it’s going as I expected…. then I hear my boys Far East Movement come up on the big screen! and i’m like awww shit!!! first on Get Him to the Greek and then this??? and then they play a 2nd FM song literally back to back so I’m hyped….. after that I hear another one of my little homey’s tracks, Steve Aoki getting love in the movie and there’s a hot chick in the movie who acts like a girls gone wild bust down….
AND THEN…. WORST MOVIE I’VE SEEN IN MY LIFE…. it’s up in the top 10 worsts for sure.
during the movie we saw 4 different sets of people get up and leave and I haven’t witnessed that before except for myself…. I mean, I walked out of date night and I coulda stayed because as awful as date night was, this shit was 10000x worse…

this was the only highlight of going to see Piranha…. I kept my 3-D glasses because my other pair are not as clean anymore :/

jesus

so we head back home and I fall asleep for 45 minutes and forget that I have to pick up Apolo lolololol

I head over to pick him up 1st so Nic can get ready….
he doesn’t want korean bbq or korean food… but wants to try the Vegan spot

this is the 10th time we’ve hit Vegan Glory this month easy!
and again as soon as Apolo hit the food, he acted just like I did…. couldn’t believe that it wasn’t meat!
not even the broth, he thought it had to have some chicken parts… but my girl can’t eat any of that….

we ordered a GANG OF FOOD! and Apolo ate it up like he was one of the Klumps

we chopped it up about Apolo’s book coming out soon and where he’s gonna move to here in LA and all that good shit….

we headed to my spot and Apolo got to see my be@rbrick and 4 foot collection and was stunned on how stupid I am.

and since Apolo eats spinach and works out 21 hours a week, he helped me move my 108lb 4 foot companion off my audio rack stand to the floor

thank AAO!

so I gotta head out and do some work…
we just finished these ill ass Cartier Santos 100’s for a client and I got a LE breitliing PVD super avenger(actually called the Skyland Avenger) that we murdered out in black diamonds and even iced out the clasp….

got some more orders for smaller type pendants and need to get started on a black on black g-shock for my brother Felix the Housecat!

p.s.
I really am gonna slang some more kicks, xbox’s, gear and other random shit….
stay tuned.

god bless,

peace

so I said I’d be on my diet…. so for lunch friday me and my boo walked over to Vegan Glory…
MAN! shit gets better and better!
no joke, the food there is amazing and what’s best is that my girl is so fucking unselfish it drives me insane because everytime we go out to eat, she orders something I can eat or I’d like over what she really wants. pisses me off because I sometimes want to order a chicken or beef dish…. but I’d stalled out on red meat for while… in fact, it’s pretty much chicken and fish for now… but Vegan Glory has a great menu and my girl can have anything on it.

(click images to enlarge)



the steamed veggie dumplings were very good… but the Vegan Beef Burrito was insane amazing! tasted as good as kogi truck, but without the BG’s! and the steak sandwich? jesus…. shit was so flavorful! damn! and they deliver! I’ll be coming back for 3rds and 100ths!

also just opened down the street from me is the famous New York Bakery; Magnolia!
man I have driven past it for a week, but didn’t know what the deal was… I know the one in NYC is no joke and there’s always lines, but we had to peek in and check it out
THANK GOD FOR THE HOMEY ADAM(STUSSY) WHO WAS THERE 3RD IN LINE! BECAUSE IT WAS A 20+ MINUTE WAIT… WAIT? I’m on a diet! hahaaha… fuck that, gotta cheat! just a lil bit!(no lykke le)







the cupcakes are better than Joans on 3rd…. as good as Sprinkles and better in someways… but they have much more to offer with the cakes, pies, brownies, etc… overall it gets 4 thumbs up from me and nic.

so later that night, had a pescatarian meal at Mishima… ran into the Crooks fam there….
and then we decided to stay in and watch 2 horrible movies back to back…
“Remember Me” and “Cop Out” shaking my fucking head.
let’s not even go into reviews! just wow! both get a legit 1 out of 10 (why did I watch Remember Me? fuck outta here, why do you think? because I’m on team edward?)

SATURDAY aka Caturday lol jk

so we woke up, ate home made veggie breakfast and then got ready to hit the LBC to hit my homey Slep’s Baby Shower….. amazing, this is my guy for 15+ years…. but as we get older, you just keep in touch with some of your close friends only facebook or at family events and the last time I seen Slep was at AM’s funeral…. we all were pretty tight fam. WELL CONGRATS BRO! you’re gonna be a dad and damn! it’s a boy! smh at all the jokes going on at this thing… 1st off the party was at 1pm…. we left the crib at 12 and got there on time…. shit didn’t start til like 2:40! and btw, Slep in the general manger of Spearmint Rhino, so you already know hahhaahahahaha jesus!
1 table was all strippers…. 20+ deep lol & smh….
it was interesting, but I don’t give 2 shits really about what was going on in the background, our table was the fam fam… it’s cool that babies r us have an online registry because it saves time from having to stop there and wanting to buy 10 cases of flush-able baby wipes lol
anyways, wokcano started up down the street from my crib… shout out to my homey Teanna who used to work there back 5+ years ago…. this one in Long Beach is real real nice!

I’m gonna sound real fucked up…. BUT WOW SLEP YOU HAD AN ASSIGNED MENU???? hahahahahaa god damn! I’m impressed bro! I was expecting colt 45 tall cans and bbq at your crib for this shit! APPLAUDS!
BUT YO! the food was crazy good! the sea bass was ignorant!

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS THE DAY BEFORE AM’S FUNERAL…. RIP

now you already know homicide ain’t stopping at no babies r us or even target to get his brother a gift smh… he literally walked up and said “awww yeahhh” go buy your son some shit lolololol. (yes that’s really the gift)

was good to see Slep and his homey’s…. haven’t seen them since Homicide’s pops funeral.

speaking of parents…. homicides sister ASH is a mom! congrats again, so good to see you sis

so after Homicide had to shake to las vegas to do his residency at JET…. I had to shake to do not a damn thing!
we went did some lightweight shopping at the beverly center… shit was boring
went back to the crib and peeped out this movie called “RELIGULOUS” by Bill Maher mocking religion and the so called science behind it…. and WOW this shit was interesting, it was really funny too…. some people, I mean MOST people are very very sensitive when it comes to religion…. I mean they get way the fuck bent out of shape if you test their religious beliefs… Bill Maher didn’t just test fools, but he went there repeatedly… but in a smart way.
We appreciated the film, but you gotta watch it for yourself…. I mean, I believe in god and I believe ALL and EVERY religion are under 1 god… anyways, it’ll open your eyes if you’re open minded enough. who wrote the bible anyways? WHO? don’t be dumb….
also, I got a book as a gift a while ago called “God is Not Great” and when I get a chance to take some ADD medicine, then I’ll focus on that, but I’m sure it’ll be crazy….

so we had a little bit of cabin fever and haven’t been out in LA to a bar in a few months easy…. so we decided to get out of the house and hit up Cecconi’s…. when I saw the Bugatti Veyron in front I already knew it was gonna be a thirst fest lol…. we had a vegetarian meal again….. chopped salad, mushroom risotto, buffalo mozzarella pizza and the shit was delicious! THANK YOU CHRIS KIM FOR THE VIP TREATMENT ALWAYS!
we had some Rose’…. it was nice and we caught laughs at the countless amount of cougars with fake boobs inside trying to catch a paycheck… oh well….

so after Cecconi’s… we headed over to Boudoir (the old coco deville) and wanted to meet up with my homegirl Allison and see how she’s dealing with her partner Lindsay being locked up…. anyways, the music was good, chilled out and threw down some patron and belve….. didn’t stay til the end of the night, but I was on 1, matter of fact, I was on 2…. so we had to head home

SUNDAY….

went to dupars for breakfast…. decided to finally have meat and got the chicken sausage and it was terrible…. BUT, the flap jacks there are the best on the planet (and if you go there, you’ll see they got their food channel episode on where they’re voted the best pancakes in the USA on repeat)

then we hit the Americana and Glendale Galleria so I could find some Tank Tops and get ready for a few trips and shit coming up….. spent literally 4 hours shopping to only come out with some basic shit, but a few pairs of dope shorts…. I’m off the baggy, long shorts (and I can’t believe it!)…. headed over to pasadena and copped some more shit from American Apparel and then we hit Noodle World for some dinner….. shit was great, headed over to Trader Joes to get some Trek Mix and then shot over to Homicide’s crib to watch TRUE BLOOD on his huge 3-D LED TV…. what a great episode….

I drove back to the trap and did some work and finally got my place in order….
gotta find a handy man to install my shelves in the auxiliary room and might add some more recessed lighting…. the bathroom is done! 1 more, well 1/2 a bathroom left!
anyone know a good handy man? it’s a very easy job, I have all the materials, not the tools….. and I need a good steam carpet cleaner! holler

BTW, ICEE FRESH IS CLOSED TODAY and TOMORROW!
we will be back open on wednesday and back to our normal times of 10am to 7pm, 7 days a week….

peace

sometimes, twitter does get the best of me and I get to express myself with 140 characters or less several times a day…..

I will get to what I did this weekend (not exciting at all) briefly here, or maybe tonight? lol…
don’t trip, it wasn’t a fun filled weekend…. pops is still doing real bad in the hospital and that’s all I’ll say

basically finished remodeling my master bathroom…. now just needs grout to complete the new tiling and shit… (yawn)

I will post pics of random shit….
I had a Vegan dinner finally on sat night and it was fucking delicious….

oh yeh…

Finally saw Inception last night(was sold out every night) and I thought Memento was a mindfuck? whoa(keanu matrix voice)

shout out to my homey Mark who copped custom made 18k jewels!

keep it funky… when’s the last time you seen a 150 gram 18k gold franco??? NEVER!
and the bead chain is stupid heavy!

that’s the best I could get with my cam…. but we laser’d our IF and Co. logo on the end bead of the chain… in person with a loupe, it’s perfect!

and while I was checking out some molds being made… I seen that we always have a crush on Jesus

so anyways…. i’ll post some stuff up later and updates and things going on this week….
pretty much continuing my boring ass life

but speaking of Jesus and Crowns with thorns (not diamonds ones in this case…)

(click here for more info)

aite y’all…
I gotta try to sell some jewelry or sell my seoul

btw, why k-town jersey shore? that’s the dumbest fucking name or comparison anyone could ever use…. how does koreatown in the slightest way compare to new jersey shore? How does the cast even compare? (I don’t know any of the members, but saw a brief pic and was like smh) but what does Tyrese know about my neighborhood anyways? I won’t speak on the other producers because they’re tied in to family…..
and they wonder why me or far-east movement won’t make an appearance ever? call it the k-town real world or anything else, but not jersey shore…. soooooo super forced, such a bad look for koreans. more importantly a gigantic misrepresentation of koreans in Los Angeles because the ones I kick it like in koreatown don’t act like actors or want to be famous…. there is a reason why MTV declined picking up this show and many other networks. remember I’m all about asians getting pub or pushing the bar forward…. not putting us back 30 years
