Manny Pacquiao — So Fresh and So Clean, Clean

I don’t know about you, but this is probably the coolest piece of artwork of Manny Pacquiao I’ve seen in a while. It’s kind of like Shepard Fairey’s Barack Obama. I really like the Philippines sun on his colar…nice touch.

Homemade Pho by a Taiwanese Dude

I know that doesn’t really go together, but my buddy Hua cooked up his first batch of pho for a bunch of us. What more do you want while watching the second half of Monday Night Football?

Question: Have you made pho before and if so, can I come over?

$6 Growlers of Manny’s = Best Deal in Seattle

Getting ready for tomorrow’s tailgate, and snagged some growlers of Georgetown Brewing Company’s best. Two growlers of Manny’s and one growler of Choppers. Each growler refill is just $6 after purchasing a $6 growler. I’m so glad their brewery is so close to the house, makes it easy for weekends like this.

Question: What’s the best deal in Seattle?

Kick-Ass is Awesome!

I can’t wait for this movie. Kids thinking they’re super heroes and killing people. If you’re as crazy as me, check out this bootlegged video of the trailer they played at Comic Con. You won’t regret it. (photos via IGN)

Question: Are you as excited as I am for this movie?

Mark and Marla’s Epic Wedding by Luuvu Hoang

This was pretty awesome. Didn’t think Luuvu had it in him, but he definitely has the knack of telling a story. You have to connect with him if you’re having a big event for photos or video.

Mark and Marla’s wedding was one of three great weddings this year with some of the best people I know. I don’t know what the deal is, but I’m sure there’s going to be more next year.

Fun Times Halloween Was For Yoda…Hmmmmmmm!

[ x ] Making my Yoda Halloween costume
[ x ] Halloween Dance Party at Gonzo’s
[ x ] Pub Crawl with Uno Cards in Ballard
[ x ] Drinking…
[ ] Light saber battle :(
[ x ] Street food hot dog outside of King’s
[ x ] Taking a lot of random photos with strangers
[ x ] Finding other Star Wars costumes (Chewbacca and Leia)
[ ] Cookies and ice cream to end the night :(

Another classic Halloween as usual with good people. Sorry my iPhone sucks when it comes to photos.

“Out of my control, that is. Yeesssssss. Hmmmmmm” - Yoda says.

Floyd Mayweather getting told by RA the Rugged Man

I hate Floyd Mayweather, so let’s get that out of the way. The way he talks, the cockiness, the reckless jabs saying he’s the best when he really isn’t, and more importantly — the way he fights.

I can’t respect a guy who thinks he’s the best when he hasn’t faced the best. Time and time again, he ducks and dodges great fighters in his own weight division and when does fight them — they clearly aren’t at their best. Why hasn’t he fought Shane Mosely, Miguel Cotto, or even shady looking Antonio Margarito? Why? Because he’s scared. Plain and simple.

Having a great legacy clearly isn’t something on Mayweather’s mind. It truly is all about the money for him. Makes sense since he changed his name from “Pretty Boy” to “Money”. All he wants to do is fight weak fighters (or undersize fighters), fight a boring fight, win, and get money. So much talent gone to waste.

Question: Do you think Floyd Mayweather should be considered the “Greatest of All-time” as he refers to himself?

The Yellow Pages book is No Longer Useful

An irrelevant book landed on my doorstep. Who still uses the Yellow Pages to find anything nowadays? It’s ridiculous the amounts of money small businesses fork out to get into a book no one reads. YellowPages.com makes sense, but why waste so much money on books that people use as firewood or as a monitor/laptop stand?

When I’m looking for food/restaurants in Ballard, I go to Yelp
When I’m looking for a lawyer regarding car accidents, I go to Avvo
When I’m looking for Seattle cooking classes, I go to TeachStreet

Tell me if I’m wrong, but I use the internet all the time when searching for services or businesses. They’re more up to date, and have a wealth of information. In the era of information, I wouldn’t see why anyone would use the Yellow Pages (unless you don’t have access to internet).

Question: Do you still use the Yellow Pages for your searching needs?

introducing the end of the hustle and throw ‘09 season!
another fun season of softball has come to an end and all i got was this awesome photo from may peria. kind of a bummer not to have the monday softball games at greenlake.

im going to miss the…passionate cheering/chants, humming songs, burning poles, my outfield debacles, occasional practices, awesome fan club, watching homeruns fly, after-game festivities, and other randomness that came along with a good group of folks.

looking forward to the november softball tournament. cant wait!
