Guitars...Beach...Food...Life

Yesterday was a day for San Antonio. I had to bail on Alicia and hanging out with her cause San Antonio was doing a last minute dinner type thing before he went back to Irvine and thankfully she understood. So my day started by trying to plan out a dinner totally last minute and he and I met up to discuss the details. We ended up discussing it at Sam Ash cause he needed to pick up some new strings for his guitar. One thing led to another...no homo...and we ended up playing guitars in the acoustic room at Sam Ash. He taught me some chords...they didn't stick but it was a good time. We randomly decide to go to the beach to finish up planning the dinner so we jam out the Huntington beach for no real reason at all. We got there, parked in the residential area type thing and went straight to Rocco's pizza where we shared the special with me getting a jalapeño pizza and him getting the Hawaiian. He thought it was bomb...and I already knew it was the bomb. We gorged on Rocco's then chilled at the pier cause we were way too overdressed to go onto the sand much less the water, but it was still a laxing experience. We even came up with plans to go fishing and camping soon. So down. Anyways...on the way back to the car we watched a dude ride a 12 foot unicycle which ended with him not falling so meh and we drove back to west co and went to Upland to pick up Joanna. Came back and went to Boiling Crap but the line was waaaaay too long so we all ended up at Fridays. The people that ended up going were me, San Antonio, Joanna, Josie, Sana, and Josie's friend Roseanne. I had the JD Ribs which were great as usual, but it didn't fill me up at all. A lot of laughs later we decided to go to the asian district and pick up some stinky tofu...which is my new nemesis. I blast and dance to Lady Gaga...freaking out innocent bystanders and having a blast doin it and we get some stinky tofu and jam out to San Antonio's pad. We eat the stinky tofu there...and by we eat i meant San Antonio ate it, Joanna quit, and Roseanne and I struggle through it. More laughs and a persistent popsicle joke later Josie and Roseanne leave and the lasting three of us watch the rest of Se7en and some food channel until we too jammed out. We brought Joanna home and went our separate ways, but I was still awake so I watched some Bones and ate chips ahoy till i knocked out...that is my life...

Let Me In Redband

Let Me In…probably wont live up to the original, but hopefully it turns out great in its own right. So far it looks like it has potential to be a great movie. If you haven’t seen the original (Let the Right One In) watch it now!

Simplicity is key

Today was totally simple...I woke up moderately late and just chilled at home for a while before getting some Lee's Sandwiches with Alicia. After that we went to AMC to catch a screening of Schmucks or however you spell that but turns out they started it earlier so me, Alicia, and Ryan ended up watching Toy Story 3. I really liked that movie lol. After that Alicia jammed out and I went home where I ate and chilled before meeting up with Alicia again to get some art supplies at Michaels. I got a malleable eraser and a pack of pigment liners. We met up with Justin and went to Jimmy's and we talked there for a while. I finally got to see where he lives...it's not a log cabin...kinda made me sad but oh well. Jimmy had to get some rest so we jammed out and went to Justin's to have a fire and smores. We talked for a while...a set of farts...a much needed bro convo...and Gracie time later we jammed out. Simple night, but a good one nonetheless. Peace.

Let the Battle Begin!

Dude I’m so stoked for Halo Reach! This campaign trailer get me even more excited for this game…I bought the new 360 for this…lets make it happen!

Erase!

Alright I fell behind again. Tuesday was basically San Antonio’s bday celebration. It was pretty small and more intimate that it has been in the past but all is good. I woke up, got ready, and basically did an instant beer run where I picked up my usual drinking beers of Santa’s Little Helper and Shark Attack as well as an Avery The Beast. I chill at San Antonio’s crib where he had food and company and I just talked and chilled. I didn’t stop drinking the whole time and I was at a really good buzz by the time that Alicia stopped by. She chilled for a bit before jamming out, but once she left I kept drinking and eventually I got officially drunk. This is where everything kind of gets blurry and I don’t remember much. I do know at one point I was using the breathalyzer and I hit 0.22 which is pretty decent for me hahaha. Justin and Alicia pick me up to help me sober up and they bring me to Dennys for some more hilarity. That too was a blur to be honest but I think I did well. Justin drove me home in my car and so forth but yea.

Today, Wednesday, is the recovery day. I woke up so early today, but that’s to be expected. When I wake up with a hangover it’s usually early in the morning. When I woke up basically my stomach was fuuuuucked up. I immediately call up Justin and Rose and I meet up with Justin at Wingstop, but that was after a much  needed cigarette cause those seem to ease my stomach. But yea, after talked at Wignstop for a bit we pick up Rose and come back to be the first customers at the Industry Wingstop. I had my usual combo and it did not disappoint. It was as orgasmic as it usually was. After that the three of us go to AMC to see what was up with Shawn and to see if he was working but ended up talking to some of the peeps there. We jam out the Justin’s pad and we chill for a while and me and him started to jam out on guitars…boy do I suck at guitar. Yadda yadda yadda we decide to jam over to Victoria Gardens so we pick up Alicia really quick at her place and then we brought Caydie some Chipotle and then there we go to Victoria Gardens. We didn’t do much at VG…we just walked around for a while, used the bathroom and then we decide to hit up the beach…so we jam out to the beach.

 The beach was as beautiful as usual and the first thing we did was hit up Rocco;s but they didn’t have a good selection of pizzas at the time so we went to the pier to walk it off a bit. It was cold and windy as fuck but with good company that all melts away into nothing. We made the most of the moment and talked as we experienced the ambiance of the environment. We soaked it all it and by the time we went back to Rocco’s I was hungry. I had the delicious mushroom pizza and an herb pizza. They were badass as expected and again…food did not disappoint.

 After we ate we went down to the water. Me, Justin, and Alicia went in to the shallow part and chilled but Justin and Alicia decide to go all in, me and my tiny boxers weren’t down for that hahaha so I stayed out with Rose…yadda yadda yadda they come out freezing and me and Rose get the towels and we jam out. We ended up back at Justin’s house and basically we said fuck it let’s have a bonfire so we did. We made a quick Vons run for smores stuff and wood but it was all worth it as I also walked out with a fat tire. Ending the night by the fire is the life and after I brought Rose and Alicia back to their respective houses Justin and I watch Jackass 2.5 on xbox live to hilarious results…for a day that was supposed to be mainly recovery…I did a shitload. That is my life.

That was a coyote…I thought it was a little girl…

Alright, so I started the day off doing nothing. I literally sat on my ass for most of my awake day until I met up with Rose and Alicia in the evening. We went to the Wingstop near the mall but it was still closed…it opens on Wednesday! After that we went to Coldstone and had some icecream. I had the peanut butter one whatever its called and that was sooo good but as usual it hit me eventually. After that we pick up Justin and head over to Pinks to get some grub. We get there and we wait in line and the lines wasn’t that long. It was great timing i guess. But yea…I had the Hoff hotdog and that was delicious.

 After we eat and talk at Pinks we took the long lonely road back home…but really it was just the 60 freeway. We take Rose back to her place and we then went to the 24 hour Subway in Fullerton where we basically raided the touchscreen soda machine. We pulled up chairs to the machine and started drinking away. First we drank each flavor one by one…then we mixed all the flavors together into one nasty brown stew. Then Justin had the smart idea to spin around in the parking lot…so me and Justin spin 30 times and you know how that turns out…then me, Justin and Alicia spin 45 times and you definitely know how that turns out…and then I drive to their places to drop them off…and guess what? Justin didn’t have his house keys…so we wait for like 45 minutes in front of his house waiting for him mom to wake up so he can get in. What an idiot…hahaha…I take Alicia home and that wasn’t as theatrical as Justin but everything can’t be that weird. That was my night…laters!

This is my night

So yea...

Worked concession yesterday…that was a bitch…i had to be on register but at least I had a good crew to back me up when I needed help. After work I met up with Alicia and we talked in the lot till Chelsea met up with us. We had dinner at Fridays and I had the 10 oz sirloin cooked rare as usual. That was yum. After that I talked to both of them in my car till Alicia jammed out to study and I talked more with Chels in the car…yadda yadda yadda…typical day but a good on nonetheless

Slightly behind

Alright…Friday I worked usher for a little while and was sent home cause of low attendance. After that I met up with Alicia and we went for a beer run to try some new beers. We got this fruity type beer which was really good. I also got an apple one and a peach one but they were corked. We then hit up AMC wand watched Salt. That movie was alright. A lot better than I expected. After that we met up with Rose and I got Wingstop for the family. I bring Rose home and met up with Justin and Ulysses and we go to the 24 hour Walmart where we messed around. We put on women’s clothes and just joked around the store.

Today….Saturday…I just worked usher. I was worn out from this whole week so I was shutting down. After work I talked to Ryan and Alex for a bit and kept Alicia company at Chipotle while she got her order. Other than that I did nothing. A family dispute and beer was my night along with Bones….such is life

She's a real girl!

Today was definitely a simple day, but totally jam packed. Basically I went to Magic with Rose, Hope, Justin, and Alicia. Great day. It was a day of soaking wet clothes, slapping and punching, wet willies, piggy back rides, pickles, food, food, and more food. We spent the whole day at Magic and after that we hit up Wingstop and The Hat. Exhausting day but totally worth it. Oh and my Incredible broke, but the day made up for it. I was in great company so it kept me from being too bummed.

So damn Incredible!

Today was another good day. I woke up to a nice surprise. My phone came in the mail, so I started charging it and ran some errands with my mother. Yadda yadda yadda...came back home set up my phone and made my way to Best Buy to transfer my contacts. Yadda Yadda Yadda...play with it for a while and then i hit up BWW with Alicia where we shared 24 pieces of wings. That was basically my day...gotta rest up lol.

At least you guys are in the credits

Today was a busy day. I started out going to the DMV early in the morning for my sister. I went there to pay for her new license and after that I went home and was in and out of sleep for several hours. I them met up with Ryan and we went to Hooters to take advantage of the all you can eat wings. We spent a good amount of time there at Hooters and after that we made out way to AMC where we tried to figure out what to watch. Nothing came up so we just went to Gamestop for a little bit to browse but we ended up at AMC again. We ran into Alicia and her friends while we were going down the escalator and that was kind of a weird surprise. They go to watch Inception and me and Ryan went to watch Grown Ups again. We enjoyed the movie as expected and then went to Inception to catch the rest of it with Alicia and her friends. I enjoyed the end of Inception cause I got to see all the action without worrying about the story, so that's 3 and a half times watching the movie. We chilled at AMC for a while until Rose got out and we met up with Justin at his place where we talked, swam for a while, and talked for way too long. Many laughs, movie quotes, and words of inspiration later we jammed out and here I am now...C'est la vie

His is huge...

Today was a good day. Spent most of my awake time with Alicia today. Started out by picking up Rose and meeting up with Alicia at the lot. We hit up Wingstop and I had my usual combo. We ate and talked until I had to bring Rose to AMC cause she had to work today. So me and Alicia went to the Liquorette where I bought some Stella and an Angel's Share. We then went to Walmart to get some dark chocolate to eat with the Angel's Share cause Joe said that it goes best with dark chocolate. Boy was he right. Joe has yet to let me down, as does Lost Abbey in general. We also hit up Sorcerer's Apprentice at AMC. It was a pretty decent movie. A lot better than I expected it to be. After that we met up with Justin and we jam out to the the bowling alley but the wait was too long so we just talked and made ourselves dizzy. After some stupidity and a lot of talking we go back to the lot where we talked and acted stupid once more...and I mean A LOT of stupidity. We got hungry again and went to Del Taco where we had more laughs and more laughs. Great day today. Later!

The Lost Abbey The Angel’s Share

The Lost Abbey The Angel’s Share is amazing. It pours out a dark brown like cola. It has absolutely no head and has no carbonation. The aroma of was outstanding. It exudes brandy undertones with molasses, plum, and brown sugar. The flavor was more skewed towards raises, brandy, and caramel and this is definitely a sipper. Sip this beer through and through. It has a great body as well. You would think that the lack of carbonation would hurt the beer, but it doesn’t. It seems to work just fine in this brew. It’s a pretty strong beer at 11.5% abv, and I didn’t really notice the taste of the alcohol at all although it did have a slight burn as it was going down. Sip this while eating some dark chocolate type dessert and it’ll really shine. Again, this was simply an amazing drink.

Stella Artois

Stella Artois. This is what Heineken should be like. It pours out a clear yellow with a white head that settles and dissipates very quickly. It has a strong, very strong skunky aroma. It’s pretty intense. It has a slightly hoppy metallic flavor to it. It settles into a sweet undertone that the body carries somewhat well. This is a macro lager but it’s definitely one of the better ones on the market. If you like this sort of beers and are at a basic market, this would be one of the better choices. Overall it’s a decent beer that is marketed really well.

Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale. This is a seasonal ale that available during the summer. Most people have already tried the regular Blue Moons and this one doesn't live up to the original but I still enjoyed it. It pours out a ]yellow hue with a thin white head. Retention is quite mediocre. There wasn't much aroma to speak of but it did have a slight wheat aroma with a honey undertone. The flavor is similar to the smell but more so citrus and honey. The flavor is pretty balanced with the honey not being too sweet. It's quite enjoyable. It's quite refreshing although it is a simple beer. There isn't much complexity in the flavor at all. This is more a beer to drink rather than savoring. If you like Blue Moons give this a shot, but don't expect it to rock your world.

Tsingtao

Tsingtao beer. How can I say this nicely. It sucks. It's not the worst beer that I've had but it certainly isn't what I would call a good one. I'll start with the appearance. It's a clear golden yellow color. The head that is there is white, but there's barely any head to begin with and what is present has no retention. It has a hoppy aroma, but that in and of itself isn't too strong. It may have been the environment that I was in masking the aroma, but I doubt it. It has a thin body with a mild to low carbonation. The flavor was disappointing as well. It has a slight tint of malt but the thin body doesn't retain the flavor very well so it was mainly a bitter tasteless feel. Overall I hope that China has better beer than this because this is a total bust.

Naked in Newport

Well, not really. I started out my day by going to work in the morning. Had a good work day minus the exhaustion but I had a good crew working with me and the rest of the crew outside of the ushers was legit, so time went by pretty fast. After work I went home and ate  hot wings while going in and out of sleep until I finally met up with Rose and Kev. We did a lot of driving to nowhere in particular. 5 cities, a Church’s Chicken location, and several good laughs later we ended up at Krispy Kreme where I had some donuts and where we met up with Justin. We messed around in the parking lot for a while spinning and falling and Jimmy ended up there too. More spinning and Jimmy jammed out and I brought Kevin back to his pad. Me, Justin, and Rose then make a random ass trip to Newport. We checked out the locale, checked out the houses, and hit up Del taco where I had 11 tacos. I had to accept Justin’s challenge. Overall it was a basic day that turned into a great adventure. Gotta love random nights out.

July 17th 2010

Woke up…played some MW2…went to work..ushered…came home..on aim…meh

Another day

Today was another basic day for me. Woke up late and went to work. After that I watched Inception again with Kevin, Chelsea, Caydie, and Carissa. That's basically all I did today. I started posting my theories and counter theories here lol

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Inception-Explained-Unraveling-The-Dream-Within-The-Dream-19615.html#comment-62910649

Inception and food with my girls

Today was a really good day. I started out the day waking up late and playing some MW2 with Brandon Flores and Eric Wilson. They play search and destroy which I suck at but it was still fun. After that I met up with Rose at AMC where we screened Inception. This movie is amazing. You guys gotta watch it now. I'll put up a review on it later on today or tomorrow cause I'm too tired to go into it now. But yea, after that we met up with Alicia and Caydie and we went to PFchang or whatever that place in called in Chino lol. I had the VIP Duck and it was legit. I also had this Chinese beer that I will post a review of later on again. We were there for quite a while then we head over to Walmart to get some snackage before the movie. We then make our way to AMC where we went to the midnight showing of Inception. It was amazing as usual and after that me, Caydie, and Alicia went to Denny's for sime grubbage. I had my usual FTS and we ended up just talked there for hours and hours. Basically the movie ended at 2:40...and we left Denny's after 6am. So yea...great day with my girls.

FTS

Today was simple...woke up and went straight to work. I did hard count for the supers/managers with JT and Ryan and ushered later on in the night. After work I hung out with Kevin, Anne, her sis and friend...watch Despicable and then went to Denny's where I had my usual...decent day...now for some Bones! Oh yea...lost my phone for a while but found it eventually too...I almost freaked...

Newcastle Brown Ale

It pours out a brown color, almost like mahogany. It has no head but had good body. The aroma of roasted malt permeated the brew. The flavor was that of roasted malt, almost smokey and had a rich consistency. It had slight to mild carbonation that complimented both the flavor and the consistency of the beer. It also has a slight tartness to the end of the beer that went well with the rest of the experience. This is one of the better beers that's widely available at your local restaurant or joint.

Handled

Went to Sears with the mother for some quick shopping. I got new workshoes and she got a shirt or something and got some Church's on the way home. I crashed for about 6 hours. I woke up and I ate some more chicken and played some MW2 and Halo 3...some of it with Justin. Then I went to BWW with the usual group. I had the Ultimate Nachos and fried pickles and a New Castle. Now I'm here...gonna review the brew and watch some Bones.

Work'n'MW2

Today was totally simple. Woke up...went to work...I was supposed to be ticket drop but a turn of events made me into an usher...after work I talked with Jimmy, Justin, his buddy, and Carissa in the lot...went home...played MW2...watched Bones while I ate...and that's it...what a waste

BJ's Jeremiah Red

BJ's Jeremiah Red. This is the second BJ's beer that I had, and it was pretty decent. For the price it was ok, but could have been better. This beer pours out a deep copper color. It was also pretty transparent so it looked really nice. There was not really any head to it and what was there was minuscule and was an off white. The carbonation was pretty mild and the aroma was very faint. From what I can tell it had a sweet malt aroma but smells from the restaurant could have interfered. It has a fairly sweet flavor to it and the alcohol is evident up front. This is a fairly strong beer but the taste of the alcohol doesn't interfere with the flavor of the beer. This is a decent beer at BJ's and went well with the Classic Pizza.

Despicable Me

Despicable Me totally caught me off guard. I expected to enjoy the movie...but not this much. It was great. Even though I watched it alone because it was a screening, I was laughing and having a blast. Everything just worked well in the film. The length was neither too long nor too short, appeals to the children, and most importantly it appeals to adults as well. Adults will be able to appreciate the movie on a higher level which is always great in a kids movie. The voice acting is great but what makes the movie is the minions. They cracked me up the most. For being such simple characters, they add so much to the movie. The three orphans also add a ton to the film, especially the youngest one. this is an odd movie, but it works in its own way. Yea it might not be as polished as Pixar's movies, but this is definitely one of the animated children's films that I enjoyed the most. I urge you to watch this movie...NOW!

Great Weekend

Alright, so I really need to catch up on this again...I've been lagging on this recently. So Friday was my day off and it was also Caydie's birthday. I started off the day with Rose calling me to do an emergency screening to Despicable Me. I rushed to work and they sent me straight to house 5 to screen it. The sound screwed up at the end but all in all the screening went smoothly. After that I had some L&L with Rose where I had the Chicken Katsu regular size meal. After that I went home and crashed for several hours. When I woke up I basically did some Halo then picked up Carissa and Chelsea at Carissa's pad and then picked up Rose and we made out way to the Skate Express in Chino. We get there and we skate and had a good time. After that we hit up BJ's in West Co. I had the classic pizza small size and a Jeremiah Red. We talked for a long time after that. The next day was Saturday. I expected it to be a bad day at work but it went fine. Got off at 10 and went to Kiwi and Roo's place for Kiwi's bday. I had my beers and several drinks later I was done. I bring Rose home and I crash. I wake up early and my stomach was fucked up but i had to deal. Ate played MW2 and went to work where I was off my game for the first part of my shift but all came together at the end. After work I went over to Terra's pad and hung out with my sister and her group for a little. I came home...ate...MW2...and here I am now.

Nothing...just nothing

Today I woke up...helped my dad set up our new 3D TV and mount the old TV onto their bedroom wall...then played some Halo 3...then went to AMC to screen Predators with Kiwi and Ryan...then went to Walmart with Ryan to burn time...then picked up Sana...then went to In'n'out...had a double double...had a power outage...went to AMC to see the outage....hung out with Jimmy and Justin and Justin's buddy...then brought Ryan and Sana home...c'est la vie...

Predators

Predators is a good reboot of the franchise. After the abysmal AVP movies this goes back to the roots of Predator and brings back the jungle and testosterone filled bloodfest of the original. I was kinda disappointed with the movie because I had such high expectations for it, but I did walk out thoroughly entertained. It could have been bloodier, it could have been more testosteronie but that's just personal preference at this point. My biggest gripe about the movie is that it was freakishly simple. The previews set the stage and you just watch the events unfold. I'm not saying that there needs to be an intricate plot, but a little more substance would have been good...at least to me. Overall it was a good action movie. It's not the best but it's far from the worst. it's easily enjoyable and it's a movie that I would recommend. I love this franchise!

Oh gawd....

Awkward....

Top Sniper Season 2

Top Sniper Season 2 was a really good program. Given it's for the military buffs out there like myself and that anyone else would probably find this boring, it provides some great insight into the world of sniping. Throw away all that Modern Warfare quickscoping and the Halo 3 no scope bullshit. This is the real deal with stalking, estimations, humidity control, gravity, and all the other little intricacies that us civilians wouldn't know what to do with. The top snipers from around the world in one place, competing for the title of best sniper is here in this program and it's a sight to behold. Competitions from defensive positioning to sniping from a Blackhawk helicopter is accounted for. If you want to get to know the art and science of sniping catch this program cause it's a great way to get introduced to the art. I loved it.

Wingstop'n'Walmart

Alright…what started as a bum day actually became something strangely enough. I started out waking up and staying in bed for several hours just surfing around netflix for random shit to watch…but I ended up just watching The Hangover in bluray. After that I got in some good Halo 3 time and just did that for a bit before finding something to do. I met up with Chelsea at AMC and we picked up Carissa and Justin. We jam over to the Subway in Fullerton to check out the touch screen soda machine that is so damn cool. After that we hit up Wingstop baby!

 I had the ten piece combo with the flavors being Original Hot and Lemon Pepper and the rest was my usual. After we ate we head back to AMC to wait for asian Kevin but that didn’t really pan out so we ended up chillin’ with Kiwi and Caydie for a little bit. Some skating and bladeing later Chels and Carissa go into Caydie’s car and I take Justin in mine and we head over to Walmart…the 24 hour one in Baldwin. On the way there me and Justin rock out to Rush…The Starting Line…no homo of course…Sugar Ray…etc…that was a good time. Then we were at Walmart.

Me and Justin did the usual fucking around in Walmart. A few bras, heels, Ironman masks, axes, and hula hoops later we were one out way out and i was taking people home…fuck cops…

The Hangover

Oh The Hangover...how I love you so. You're idiotic, you're classless, you're immature, you're ludicrous, and most importantly of all...you're down right hilarious. One of the best comedies I've ever seen. One of the movies I've repeatedly seen the most. One of the movies that brings the fondest memories ever. How can you go wrong with a tiger, Tyson, a baby, and a group of clashing yet interesting personalities? To be honest they could have royally screwed this movie up but it surprised everyone and turned into one of the funniest movies in the past couple years. There is no boring place in the movie; it's one outrageous scene to the next. The comedy never lets up from the hilarious antics of the cast to the little banter between them in the "lulls" between set pieces. This banter is where a lot of the best memories are in the movie. Everyone remembers the big scenes like the bloodbrothers moment and the tiger in the car, but people also remember the rétard and the sofa pizza. It never gets old. You have probably scene this movie already and I urge you to watch it again. If you haven't get a group of friends together and watch it cause as great it is to watch alone, it's exponentially better watching it in a group. One of my favorite movies of all time!

Widmer Hefeweizen

Widmer Hefeweizen was a decent beer, pretty good, but overall was pretty average...at most. It pours out a deep golden color with a really thick white head. The golden wasn't a clear color, it was kinda murky which is regular for a wheat ale. The retention was alright but nothing noteworthy. The aroma was that of wheat and slight citrus but that citrus could have easily been the lemon that was on the glass. It was a good aroma overall though. The flavor was what I expected out of it. It was a wheat heavy flavor with a slight citrus component to it. It was pretty carbonated and went down pretty smooth and had a light body. It's a pretty simple brew but definitely refreshing. I'd say it's a pretty mediocre beer on regards to the rest that I've drank, but a decent choice at your local restaurant or sports bar.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Alright today started off to a slow start. Woke up cause of the sun glaring down at me from my window and I instantly turned on my 360 and started watching TV shows and movies. I watched Super High Me and that's already been reviewed so I'll leave that at that. I played some Halo and then I went out to eat with my sister and parents for my dad's birthday. We hit up Osuna's and I had four fish tacos. Those were fuckin' bomb but the fish inside was alot bigger than I remembered....but I'm not complaining hahaha. After that I hit up AMC with Rose and we waited for Chelsea to get off work. We met up with a bunch of people at Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a grip of us there...it was me, Anne, Rose, the two Kevins, Alex, Mitchel, Wilson, Lida, Charlie, Ty, and a bunch of others that I can't really place...sorry if you're one of them. But yea, after eating we chilled outside for a bit before jamming out. I took Anne home and here I am now...in my boxers...typing...and talking to asian Kevin via facebook...no homo

Super High Me

Super High Me...I don't think you can appreciate this pseudo doc if you've never smoked. It's pretty simple...sober for a while and stoned for a while...kinda funny kinda stupid...definitely entertaining. You get snippets of his comedy routine put in there to good effect. Given this isn't the most though provoking or intelligent documentary, it's worth a watch if you know the cannabis world. Watch if you're interested skip if you aren't.

Cheeseecake and Bones

Yesterday was a mini reunion between me and several high school buddies. I spent the day with San Antonio, Josie, and Hernandez. We went over to Upland to chill with Hernandez and her fambam and we ended up going over to Victoria Gardens for lunch/dinner. We were planning on going to Friday's but ended up at Cheesecake Factory instead. I had the fried calamari and the kobe burger which was great but I got full and couldn't finish it. I'm not proud of that....I can eat...I'm disappointed in myself. But yea...after VG we went back to Hernandez's place and chilled there for a bit before jamming out. When I got home I was dead tired cause they woke me up early...so I just bummed it and watched Bones with my sister until I went to my room and watched netflix there and fell asleep.

Rampage

Uwe Boll's Rampage, could it be his first good movie? Umm...no. This is still a shitty movie but at least it's somewhat watchable. Yeah it moves slow, yeah it's unfocused, and yeah the acting is pretty bad, oh the visuals are crappy as well, but it is entertaining if you just want a shallow shoot em up type of movie. Dude hates his life and makes a kevlar suit and kills people, that's the general idea of the movie and it does that part decently enough but still has to go a long way to be considered to be an actual movie. Pass on this movie unless you want some laughs cause it's a pretty bad movie. Alright...it's a damn right bad movie...just pass on it.

Brick

Brick...one of my favorite movies...period. Take and old school noir film and put it in a modern day high school setting and you get Brick. This is a great movie that finds its feet very early on and takes you on a dramatic ride till the very end. This is a prime example of a neo-noir film. Everything is accounted for here...the private eye type protagonist...the gumshoe attitude..the smart sidekick, in this case Brain...the kingpin of the criminal organization...even the quick dialogue with slick stylized syntax and diction. It looks like a high school drama, but sounds like, feels like, and ultimately is an 1930's noir. Everything just comes together perfectly to exude the noir theme from the music, to the camera angles, to the aforementioned dialogue. Take this movie for what it is and enjoy it. Easily one of the best movies of the past ten years...and definitely one of the most underrated and unknown.

Catching up on my beers

BJ's PM Porter. This is one of the beers from BJ's and it's decent, but not really one of my top brews but a good beer nonetheless. It pours a deep brown color with a great head with great retention and lacing. This is an easy beer to drink cause it goes down so smooth. I'm not sure what its abv but I didn't taste the alcohol at all. The aroma was hard to smell because of the locale but I did smell a hint of coffee. It has a generally sweet flavor that finished slightly bitter but there isn't anything too spectacular about the flavor of the brew. There's not even a particular flavor that stands out, just a general sweetness and bitterness. It's works though especially with the very very mild carbonation and smooth texture. Easy to drink but tougher to place. If my favorite beers are 10/10, this would be a 6/10.

Bud Light, this beer is simple to describe. It pours a clear yellow, now head, no lacing, no flavor. It's basically water with some alcohol. This is a beer pong beer, but I'd still rather use Budweisers for beer pong. Fuck this light beer shit.

Pliny the Elder is a great IPA. It pours a golden yellow color with a white head and great retention. There isn't much lacing though, but that isn't that big of a deal. The aroma is very floral and perfumes of hops. You can tell that this is an IPA by the aroma and if you like IPAs you'll appreciate it all the better. The flavor is kinda tricky to me cause I'm not too accustomed to IPAs but it did start off with a good breadiness. The flavor kinda turns citrus-like and finished with a hoppy explosion that IPA lovers will rejoice in. This is way up there in my favorite IPA brews and is a great beer in and of itself. Wow...

Corona Extra. How the mighty have fallen. I used to swear by this beer when I first started to drink beers regularly. It goes best with a slice of lime. It pours a clear yellow with heavy white head but it dissipates very fast and has no lacing. It has thick carbonation and has both a skunky aroma and flavor. It goes best with lime cause it masks the true flavor of the beer. I have a hard time drinking this beer nowadays. Makes me kinda sad. 

Budweiser, put simply, this is Bud Light with slightly more flavor. Ugh...

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, what is there to say about this movie? It's a poor vampire movie, it's a poor werewolf movie, it's a poor romance movie...so what does the movie have going for it? Well, it has abs and the following a millions and millions of tweens drooling over them. Alright, on to the truth of the movie. I don't know where to place this movie. This movie isn't better than the first two, but I enjoyed it more, probably because Ashley Greene has a somewhat bigger role in this one and this one had some action in it even though it was minuscule at best. I never read any of the books, although I tried, and these movies are so far from my demographic it's not even funny. I was able to stay awake for the first two all the times I watched them, but the second time catching this knocked me the fuck out. So yea, basically this is a movie to watch if you like the books, otherwise you aren't raelly gonna give a rat's ass what happens to anyone in the movie. There's too much abs and not enough substance. Too much teen drama and bad acting. Watch this movie if you like the books otherwise it isn't worth the effort. This is a bad movie that does really well because of the fan base that it caters to. Good job Jacob...make sure you wear more clothes in your next movies if you ever do anything outside of the Twilight movies.

UFC 116

Alright…so Saturday was a good day with the Alvarados. Well i started off with some halo with Bishop, Brandon, and Chelsea. That was a blast and after that picked up Rose and then went to Alex and Mitchell’s pad where we caught UFC 116 with Alex, Mitchell, and his two cousins. The Lesnar Carwin fight was pretty legit. Lesnar got brutalized on the first round and Carwin punched his breath away. Carwin wanted the first round victory but wore himself out. He tapped out to Lesnar in the second round…which is the first time he ever had to go into the second round, all his other fights were done within the first. We had pizza as well and after the fight we had some Modern Warfare and Killzone. Pretty legit day.

After that I went home and chilled with my sister and Terra. We played a little bit of Halo and then I went to Garrett’s place to drink a little bit. That was pretty bomb too and I think I had a decent amount to drink.

Today was 4th of July Sunday, pretty boring overall. Woke up, went to work, ushered, came home, watched some Bones, and now watching Brick. Such is life.

Kill me now

Basically I woke up and went to work..work was utter shit today. I'm not gonna name names but basically they wanted us to run the floor in a way that would not work. Power trip at it fullest. Fuck that...I might as well take myself out of the mentor program...but yea...after that bullshit I hung out with Rose, Justin, and Jimmy and we got some In-n-Out. I ended the night with Halo 3, an elder, and South Park. Good end to a shitty day.

Killing spree

I woke up...surfed the net and texted for a bit. Then I watched an episode of 24 and started playing Halo 3. Lost track of time and watched Moon and ended up going out to eat with Chelsea and Kevin at Del Taco at like 2:30 am and met up with Caydie there.

Let Me In

This movie has potential but I have very very high expectations because the original is extraordinary. Let the Right One In is one of my favorite movies….hopefully this one lives up to the original source material

Eclipse and BJ's and much more

I have to really catch up with this. I missed the past 2 days or so. So yea. On Tuesday I did some errands at home and then went to AMC for the Eclipse ice cream/screening thing. There was a bunch of us there and I don’t remember exactly who was there so yea. Did that, watched Eclipse, fell asleep and that was that. After the screening me, Rose, Ryan, Hope, and Amy went to BJ’s to grab a bite to eat. I had the classic half pound angus burger and  BJ’s PM Porter beer. The meal was great, the beer was OK, and the company was exquisite. After that we all went out separate ways but not before I picked up a deliveries shift cause Brandon gave me a call for it.

Wednesday, which was yesterday, I woke up and went to work at 9am. I worked with Perez and Alex doing deliveries and there was a shitload. I pulled a 10 hour shift with the guys and after that I gave Perez a ride to his place. After that I took a shower and bought a new 360 randomly and went to AMC to catch an Airbender screening but I was an hour too late. I just stuck around to wait for Kevin to come and when he showed up we ended up going to Friday’s with Caydie where I had a Bud Lite and the Jack Daniel’s Chicken strips. We spent a while just talking and ended up at AMC again waiting for several people to clock off and then me, Caydie, Wilson, and Garett ended up going to Denny’s and we all jammed out after that. I set up my 360 when I got home but that isn’t a big deal. But I did make a new gamertag…Dude Dudenstein…add me people.

Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale

Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale, is it worth $18? Yes it definitely is. This is technically my first sour ale and I had high expectations going into this beer cause I’ve been hearing about it from other beer aficionados. It was totally worth the wait. It pours out a deep brown color similar to that of Coke with a tint of red residing in it. It has an alright head without much retention. The smell is pretty strong. It has the aroma of cherries with a sour undertone. The flavor is very similar to the aroma but takes the beer to another level. The initial flavor is that of sour cherries, but as that flavor fades, it’s replaced by a slight hint of green apples followed by an acidic overtone that finishes smooth. This is just an amazing beer. Make sure you drink it just chilled, not totally cold. And as Joe said at the Liquorette, it goes well with a dessert like a cherry pie or chocolate. I would definitely recommend this beer to anyone that like beer.

Red Poppy and Eclipse

I woke up…surfed the net a bit then went out. I looked for a 360 at several placed but they were all sold out…which sucked but yea. After that I hit up Panera Bread with Rose and then the Liquorette cause I wanted to pick up an Abbey. I got the Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale which was $18…fuuuuuck. But yea…we burned some time and then hit up the Eclipse screening with some others. After that me, Rose, Carla, Brandon Perez, Wil, and Bishop hit up Denny’s. Totally simple day but enjoyable nonetheless. I’ll put up my thought of Twilight after it officially comes out so I don’t get in trouble.
