All Time Favorite Commercial

I was watching Mtv and came across a commercial. It was a commercial for Amp'd mobile. Remember that Asian rapping in the restroom? If you don't, catch the clip. It's funny as hell. I can watch it over and over and over again.



The all time classic. Just a little laughs and ha ha's to ease the pain of the recent tragedy.

Here's an update of the latest addition to the shoe collection?



Oh yeah...and today I finally got to play basketball...and our team was undefeated!! It's been awhile since I've had a day like that. Good times, good times!

Next up...
BMPs...just 2 more days....yeeesssssss!!

Update of the Rampage

I was watching the news and they found evidence. They found himself on video as well as pictures taken by himself. I was wrong when I said that he had semi-automatics, but he actually had just two hand guns. His video showed that he was a psychopathic delusionist. And according to CNN, he planned this for about 6 days. All I can say is, and excuse my language, this guy was a fuckin maniac!! Why would you do something like that?

Violence...it will never end.

There Is NO Place That Is Considered Safe

Everyone is talking about the Virginia Tech tragedy that happened yesterday, and why not? It's an important issue that everyone should know about. Usually, I don't watch the news, but I happened to flip through channels and came across the headlines of Virginia Tech Shooting. So I watched on and listened to the story as it was updated throughout the hour. It's scray to think about the situation if that were to happen here in San Diego. Just imagine being stuck in a building with no way to escape, locked in by none other than the suspect himself, and not knowing what to expect, but the sudden sense of nothing at all, losing air with every bullet entering your body. I'm speechless. I can't believe something like that would ever happen again. The year was going so good until this psychopath decided to take innocent peoples lives and his own. And add to that, the shooter was Asian, and thank God, he wasn't of Filipino descent, but even though, the Asian community will still have a bad reputation.

I walked into my Pyschology class a couple minutes late, but walked into a discussion about none other than the Virginia Tech incident. It's crazy to think about how much time he put into this master plan. We pondered about the fire power that he had equipped, and with all the people that were shot, we came to a conclusion that he had a semi-automatic with lots of ammunition. About 30 or so people were killed, locked in the building as he chained the exits/entrances. What was he thinking? We will soon find out once more information will be provided.

Leading into this horrible mix, we watched a film in class about a killer who goes by the name as Iceman. He was a sadistic murderer killing some 200+ people. It was sickening seeing the pictures that appeared. He killed with no remorse, and to add to that, he felt nothing. No sense of excitement or sadness. The things he does to people, shoot them and make the victim look at him when they die because he wants them to see that he will be the last person they see, and cutting them with a butcher knife. That was the most awful and brutal death ever. How come someone stand chopping a person up? I can't even stand looking at my own puddle of blood. I don't really want to explain more, so possibly if you have the time, rent it. It's called Iceman and the Psychiatrist. It's a HBO original so if you have HBO, catch it when it's on, it's very interesting.

To the victims of the Virginia Tech melee, R.I.P. And to the families of the victims, I can only give my condolenses and my prayers.

There is NO place that is considered safe. It could have happened anywhere. Thank god it wasn't California.

Motivation To A Healthier Life

Earlier today, I received a call from a buddy of mine that he was starting a team for a league at AIU a.k.a USIU. I was excited to hear such good news because finally, we have assembled a team after talking about it for so long. My girl was with me at the time, so she knew how excited I was. I know that our team is going to be sick with it as long as we play together collectively and not individually. To be honest with you, I'll spread the wealth with playing time just to make everyone on the team happy, but if I'm feeling it offensively or defensively or possibly both, then I'll stay in as long as I need a breather. I haven't put on a uniform or played organize balled since the high school days, and that's been about 4 years ago to be exact. It'll be nice to put one on and run up and down the nice shiny floors with the beautiful sounds of whistles from the numerous courts that USIU has.

I'm so excited, that I'm already thinking about what the team colors are going to be, and shoes to match them with. I'm ready, you better believe it. I'll be smashin' and in shape when time arrives. I'll be in the best possible shape possible. I'll be working out, benching to work on upper body, as well as squats to work on the lower body, while doing push-ups and sit-ups for the mid-section while also fitting in some running for cardio and to build up my stamina because it'll be needed in crunch time. I can't wait to get down and dirty and in to business. I won't go down losing. I'm in it to win, and if I do lose, I'll be out like a winner you have to always look at yourself as at the top. Confidence and communication is the key to victory.

Remember the saying "offense wins games, but defense wins championships"? Well people, it's true. Well I'm going to preach what I do best, and I know that I'm going to have to step it up and be a leader on the court. I would like to be coaching as well as playing, just as long as players are willing to listen. To the opponents: Here we come!!!

To the Yulster, let's hit up THE WORKSHOP. I still need to pick up that THE HUNDREDS sweater that's on sale. This fashion thing is getting out of hand. I'm in serious need of a new closet with all this shit that I'm getting. One for shoes, and the other for clothes. I'm addicted and part of it is your fault. I'm kidding, I just couldn't stay away from the game. Well sir, I have to congratulate on you on your promotion to Outside Garden. Good luck figuring out the types of plants and seeds and fertilizers and pots and bricks and calls from cashiers and all the other good shit because guess what, you'll need it. And Saturday is the day, when I'll be ceasing the addiction till the next Jordan's come up, which are the Jordan VIII's, and that won't be till September so that'll give me plenty of time to save money. But Saturday, I can't wait!!

What do you think of these upcoming shirts? I'm thinking adding them to the repetoire:

Upcoming Child Aboard

Well, you've read the subtitle, and yes, it's true! There's going to be a newborn on the way. It won't be arriving till later this year. I can't wait!! I'm really excited that there will be a new edition to the family. Let me introduce to you to the future child:



lookin fresh on a pair of pants:





Thought it was actually going to be a kid on the way? Don't be suprised when there will actually be a newborn walking around and talking.

A Job Well Done

Work, work, work...that's all I pretty much have time for, besides school of course. But the majority of my time is spent at work. How boring right, but today was a pretty easy day. Besides the fact that a fellow co-worker had to leave early because of a sickness, everything was good. I finished all the go backs, which are the returns from customers, and straightened up all the boxes on each isle plus I also swept the floor, which no other employee in plumbing ever does. I deserve an award like employee of the month or something. That would be nice and that would definitely look good towards my background and possibly giving me a raise in income. Well, all I can say is...JOB WELL DONE!! I got everything done quick, and the plumbing department is beginning to grow on me, providing me with valuable information.

And Since Easter is done and over, I am able to eat the candy that I love since I gave it up for Lent. I SHOULD be giving it up for good, but it's hard to resist since I have candy laying around the house. I'll give it up again when I run out of candy. And as soon as I'm done, I'll be working and focusing hard on health & fitness. My goal is to gain more muscle and weight of course, while becoming quicker, increasing my stamina, and stabilitizing my balance. The total package work-out. If anyone is intersted in working out, let me know...I have the perfect work out plan. I promise if you dedicate your time in working out, you'll be able to lose fat and gain muscle.

The latest news on shoes: I'll be picking up the Jordan III DTRT (look below)





plus the shirt below:





I doubt anyone else wants them like I do. As for the BMP's, the decision is final...I'm getting them. I got the morning open just to cop a pair. I'm also getting them for my girl too, so she'll be in for a suprise. Two pairs, how CAN you go wrong. Well, I'll definitely be prepared this time by bringing multiple layers of shirts with a jacket, followed by a pair of gloves. I have a feeling it's going to be a cold morning. There better be sizes in 11 left, or I'm going to be one unhappy customer. And since Jared a.k.a. J is suggesting to pick them up at Attic, I'll be pointing my finger at you if I don't get my pair!! I'm playin, but seriously, I'm getting my size and that's it.

Well, good night everyone till the next time...I leave you off with these







If you have the chance to get them, don't pass these up!!! You'll probably never have a chance again to own these.

Words of Wisdom From Another

Today, was a family reunion. My cousin came down from the Bay area, which I haven't seen in ages. It was a day of wise words of wisdom, even if he is younger than me. My ears are open to whatever he says because he's been through a lot already. I respect his decisions and he's a definitely been on the hustle working two jobs and also a full-time student. Crazy right...He has dreams, something that I need to work hard on.

Anyway, we decided to go bowling, and cousins I haven't really hung out with in ages came out. It's good to see some old familiar faces, especially since they're family. You don't know how much my little cousins have grown, and the aspiring goals and their differences in appearance. I should be dedicating some time to my cousins because they seek for a role model. They lead their own lives, but they also seek guidance even though it seems like they don't need it. Everyone on my dad's side of the family seems to be doing their own thing. My cousin and I were contemplating on setting up a family reunion. That's something we need plan, and plan some time soon.

I didn't realize until today, that the saying that family is family, and family should stick together actually existed. After I heard it today from my cousin, I was really affected by it. I knew that he had my back, and I no doubt have his and everyone else in my family. Blood is thicker than water, there's no doubt about that.

Well, we ended up going bowling today, I at the Mira Mesa bowling alley. And man, did they jack up the prices: $18 dollars for a lane per hour, plus $3 for shoes. They bowling alley looks a lot better, they re-done the lanes with shinier floors. I was tearing it up, a fluke on my part, unless all that bowling on the Nintendo Wii made me better. I should probably conduct an experiment on that. Well, my 2nd game ended up being my best game, throwing 5 strikes in a row. It was crazy...I was actually on the verge of having a perfect 300 game, but I blew it. We ended up not finishing the game because time expired. Sucks how...they should probably change that to 2 games so that people can get their moneys worth. A suggestion on my part.

I'm glad my cousin came down, otherwise there would be no family reunion. He's a strong individual who says has a mind of a 21 and 35 year old, with aspirations of being at the top in business, and has a mindset of looking forward, and immediately getting up when he falls down. He compared his saying to Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee was paralyzed, and got back up and proved everyone wrong when they said he wouldn't be able to walk again. "Never give up on something that you want because giving up should never be an option." Keep that in mind.

Check this out, Bruce Lee re-born...hahaha



Enough with the laughs, check this out. An ispiration and a legend in his day. Enjoy.



Yesterday, I wore a a Crooks & Castle shirt with Puma x Evisu Jeans. Then I came across this ad on Hypebeast. Coincidence? I think not. It's a sign I tell you. It's calling me, "Julius, buy me, buy me."



Very creative ad, and looking forward to their new jeans. Soon they will be in my possession, soon I tell you. I had some advice that I'm good at finding the latest update on fashion and shoes, and you know what, I believe that's true. I would love to have something to do with fashion and maybe pursue a business in it. Something to look forward to sometime in the future. I'm really looking forward into investing into some future businesses like with my buddy Yul. Let me know, I'll provide the shirts and you can provide those wicked designs. Let's do this, I can have a friend up mine have some shirts spray painted, or yall can have a colabo, it would be fresh. I can have my brother do web designs for the future business to get things going. I'm excited...only time will tell.

Words of the wise:

Never give up on your dreams.

Keeping going straight ahead, even if you do fall and happen to lose control of your legs, use your arms and keep going straight.

Prejudice, it's neither good or bad, and in business, you have to be prejudice. Think about it, business is business is that's it.

It's taking over!!

Hear ye, hear ye...work is taking over my life. That's if you haven't known already. Basically, there's no room for a social life, no room for free time, no room for basically anything, besides making room to study. Time is money, and how the saying is so true. How I wish that money really grew on trees so that everyone can have a portion, so that everyone's lives are easy going with no complaints, with no worries of poverty. The world would be so economically stable, that it would end world hunger. How things would be if it were a perfect world, but it's totally the opposite. Sometimes I feel like applying for a different job, having a thought of possibly applying at Best Buy, where I can become a television salesman. From what I hear, they receive commission from the televisions that are sold. Might be a possibility if I don't receive a good enough raise from being promoted to the sales floor.

The good thing about working the floor is working on communication. Communication is key, and helping is learning as learning is helping...wierd how that works. Also, control is a big factor. Don't let someone take full control of you, or else they'll take advantage of you. Take charge, and know what you're doing. It's really difficult when you just get dumped in the department like your fresh meat to some hungry ass lions. excuse the language, but that's how it feels everytime I step into the wonderful department of plumbing. I'm learning more and more things everytime I work, which is great on my part, and thanks to my fellow associates in plumbing that helped me out, giving me information to sink in to my skull. What would I do without them?...probably die in there!

Oh...I picked up some new gear. Picked up some Puma x Evisu jeans that are just clean. More Puma x Evisu jeans...coming soon to a closet near you!! Also picked up a Crooks & Castle shirt to match my Reebok Ventilators (Miama Edition). That's pretty much the newest pick-up, and probably the last for about a month. I really don't want to spend anymore money on pointless belongings, so keeping my card out of my wallet and hiding it so where I can't easily find it will most likely do the trick. I just can't get tempted by the things that I don't really need. That last thing I'll probably pick-up are a pair of kobe's in both black/maize and a pair of kobe's in the laker's colors.

I decided that I will be passing up the chance to obtain some major heat. Yes...it will be the Jordan BMP's. For some particular reason, their not growing on me as much as they use to. I'll probably regret it because I'll probably chance my mind and want them. But for now, my mind is made up that I most likely won't get them. I was contemplating about the Jordan III LS, but I think I already have enough III's.

I don't know...should I?



Good news, the Lakers won again, despite a sub-par performance from Kobe, the Laker's performed as a team, ending the one game skid. They distributed the ball and performed very well.

Off to bed, to perform the daily routine of school and work. Luckily I only have school tomorrow. I'll be off for the next two days, returning on Wednesday.

Good Night!!
