Jordan White/Cement IV's?
The rumor mill is buzzing on NT that the White/Cement Jordan IV's could possibly be releasing this year for the 20th anniversary of the movie Do The Right Thing. I will confirm as I get any news, but that would be sweeeeeettttt!
25 Random Ass Things about Me
I cut and pasted this from my Facebook because I thought it was cool and I spent a little time on it. Enjoy!
1. I saw a bunch of people doing these Top 25 things and thought they were stupid. I even thought "Why the hell would someone waste their time doing that?". Then I went to the gym and while I was there I thought of all the random stuff I could put on this for an hour…
2. Like Jason, this will DEFINITELY be the last one of these things I do for a long time. Facebook, MySpace, the blog...I waste enough of my time on crap like this.
3. Let's jump on one more of Jason's list and then I'll leave him alone. I feel that blog's can have many purposes outside of the sheer comedy factor. I have read some funny blogs and enjoyed them, but to me a blog is a place to express yourself and be you. When I first made my blog I was sitting on the couch, Jill was sleeping, the Raiders were getting annihilated and I was bored out of my mind. Did I make it because I thought people would look at it? Nope. But, I am getting about 100 hits a day and only posting stuff I care about so I see that as a win.
4. I am having a daughter and naming her Brooklyn Ashley. The thought of being a Dad is still surreal to me, but I am so anxious for the day to be here it’s not even funny. It’s amazing how quickly life can change and how priorities shift. May 11th is the due date!!!!
5. Most of my friends think they are really smart. They try to prove how smart they are by using big words and discussing topics that would lead people to think they are a genius. They are not. In fact, when you get us together in a group you would have a hard time believing we are older then 14. Weiners, balls, farts, inappropriate use of words, etc are all things we laughed about back in 3rd grade and still laugh about now.
6. I have the most incredible group of friends anyone could ask for. Who in the hell still kicks it all the time with their friends from elementary and high school still? 90% of my friends I have been friends with for 10+ years. When we are all out together and run into someone random from MCHS, they always look at us like "You guys still all hang out!!???". We don't all keep in touch by phone, but when we are back together it's like we are teenagers all over again. I wouldn't trade that for the world.
7. I have about 75 pairs of sneakers (almost all of them Jordan’s) and 3 pairs of dress shoes. I wear dress shoes Monday-Friday. Pathetic on so many levels…I know.
8. I like a bunch of different kinds of music but 95% of the 15,000 songs on my iTunes are Rap/Hip-Hop. 1200 of those songs are Lil’ Wayne. The man has a work ethic like none other...
9. Snoop Dogg has been my favorite rapper since I heard him on “Nuthin’ But A G Thang” back in 1992. I was 9 or 10 years old and was rapping about contraceptives in the back seat of my Mom’s Volvo. LOL. Needless to say, my Mother wasn’t a fan of Snoop. Snoop is getting old and hasn’t has my attention in a few years, but still is my favorite rapper of all time.
10. I have always been good at just about all sports...but never great. The closest I was ever to being great at a sport was volleyball. I obsessed over volleyball in high school, loved every minute of playing and haven’t played one single time since I graduated high school. Sad.
11. I never had Sushi until about 2 years ago. I wouldn’t even go near it or a sushi restaurant. Jill was super pissed at me about something and I knew I could make her happy if I went to sushi with her….so I did. The 29th was my birthday and I chose to go to sushi for dinner. Pretty much my favorite food now. Funny how things can come full circle like that.
12. I eat a sandwich for lunch every day. EVERY SINGLE DAY I order a turkey, cheddar cheese, mayo and mustard only sandwich on some sort of roll. When I call Lucca’s on the phone they know my order by heart and my voice when I call. I walk in and all the employee’s greet me like I own the place. This is also true for Bagel Street Café. They sometimes have my sandwich ready when I walk in the door because they saw me pull up. Domenico’s is also one of my favorites, but I’m not in Danville nearly as much as Dublin and Castro Valley so I don’t have quite the name recognition there. Togo’s and Safeway in Dublin use to know my name and order by heart too, but BSC took over and I haven’t been to either place in days.
13. I eat just about no fruits or vegetables. When I say “just about” I mean I consider corn and potatoes vegetables when I know they aren’t and consider apple juice a fruit. Does Jamba Juice count?
14. I am a creature of habit. I go to a restaurant and order the same thing every time. I do just about the same thing every day. Getting out of my schedule pisses me off. We are definitely putting Brooklyn on a schedule. From my observations, the people who have their kids on a schedule have life about 1000x easier.
15. I would strongly consider moving out of California. I know it is great here, but I feel like you could have such a better life living in a place that was way cheaper. Who wants to work their ass off, make great $ and have it all go to bills? I could transfer within my same job to another state and make the same amount of money…hmmm. Colorado has peeked my interest.
16. My goal in life is to own a cabin. Seriously.
17. I would rather snowboard then anything on earth. I love every single moment of it…from putting my gear on in the morning to watching steam come out of my boots at the end of the day when I take them off. I am better at snowboarding then most, but I still suck in the park. I will go on any run on any mountain and fly down it….but I will be hesitant as hell trying to boardslide a small box coming out of the snow. Definitely need to work on this…
18. I snow skated the other day. Most fun new thing I can remember doing in a LONGGGG ass time.
19. My knee hurts and I don’t know why. I am leaving for a snowboarding trip to Jackson Hole in 5 days. Kinda sucks….
20. I play basketball every Saturday with all the Asian guys (no racist) in my neighborhood. I DOMINATE them. One guy compared me to Kobe Bryant the other day. Seriously. LOL. What could make you feel better? I play basketball in an adult league I set up with work people from ADP in Pleasanton. I played really well in the past, but am off to a Rob Kurz like start to this league. This makes me thing I should start playing with competition more comparable to the league I am in instead of dominating the Asians every weekend.
21. One time I was at this club called Aer in New York with a bunch of people from work after our training. We were chilling in VIP and when “We Fly High” came on people thought Trot and I were famous or something. No joke. I’ll leave it at that. LOL.
22. I use to get my haircut once a week at a black barber shop in Hayward. I would get a bald fade from a dude named D. 0 on the sides, 3 or 4 on the top. I miss being in that place and hearing everyone’s funny ass stories. I can’t lie…I also miss the bald fade. When Jill says she is cutting her hair off I say I am going to go call D.
23. I met Jim Jones on a flight from SFO to Newark. We were waiting on the flight and wondering why the hell we hadn’t taken off yet. All of a sudden like 10 fools roll on the plane mad late and disperse to random seats throughout the plane. I look at Jill and I’m like “babe, I swear that was Jim Jones.” She made fun of me and swore I was a retard. Well, as soon as the drink cart passed me I decided I would use the first class bathroom to peep the scene. Jim was sprawled out across two seats in first class sleeping. I took a pic with him when we got off the plane after he stared at Jill’s ass for a full minute. To this day I wonder if his entourage on the plane were rappers I would know now. Must have been since he was coming from a concert. RIP Stack Bundles.
24. I represent my sports teams from the bay area. Raiders, Warriors and A’s. I would rather see the 49er’s or Giants win though instead of some other team. I think people who’s favorite teams are scattered all across the US are idiots.
25. And I’ll save the best for last. A mutual friend hooked Jill and I up, but we worked next door to each other and I had been eyeing her for months. I was just too big of a wuss to say anything to her. Luckily one of her friends called me drunk right now from the bowling alley to profess Jill’s love for me. LOL. That started a beautiful thing and who would of ever guessed it would turn into what it is today. ☺
By doing this I have noticed that I do the whole ... to break up my sentences WAY too much.

The Dream x Kanye Album !?!?
The Dream talks about releasing two albums in 2009 and how him and Kanye are talking about doing a record. It'll probably never happen, but it would be AWESOME. If you aren't up on The Dream...check this dude out. Love Hate is one of my favorite albums in a long time. He has some major talent. LOL at him saying Kanye like Kunye.
Baron Davis- Crips and Bloods:Made in America
This is a short video from Skee TV where DJ Skee talks to Baron Davis about his new film Crips and Bloods: Made In America. B-Diddy, Snoop, Weezy talk in this short interview...what isn't to like?

Snow Skating
Snow Skating takes the awesomeness of skateboarding and snowboarding and combines the two. The snow skate looks like a skateboard with a ski on the bottom of it. I started off not being able to ride it a few feet to smashing down the driveway and board sliding the box set up. SOOOO much fun. I included the pics as well as a few videos of me riding the snow skate. Videos taken on the Flip video camera!
.
Weezy F Baby - The Rebirth
This song will be the first single of Weezy's new all rock album "The Rebirth". "The Rebirth" drops on April 7th.
Martin Louis the King Jr. = Kanye
Kanye acting a fool in this video and asking people to now call him Martin Louis the King Jr. LOL. The pics below are of the third and fourth Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneaker. Peep the previous blogs to see the pics of the first two. Kanye is doing it big for 09'!

From what I hear, the stream never actually popped up last night. This is a video of the Slaughterhouse performance at S.O.B.'s.

Slaughterhouse Live Stream @ S.O.B.'s
Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Royce Da 5'9" and Crooked I) will be performing live at S.O.B.'s tonight. This is the live stream. Of course they are running mad late....it's a rap show.

Kanye x Louis Vuitton Shoe
This is another one of the shoes that Kanye West has designed with Louis Vuitton. The first shoe that I saw pictures of looked like a boat shoe and this is the second design out of five that will release. I haven't heard any price tags yet on the shoes, but I'm guessing they are going to be expensive as hell!

Wale x Ben Baller x TV On the Radio
Wale on the phone hollering at Ben Baller for a bottom grill. Always comedy. I heard of Ben through his NikeTalk fame and been keeping up on what's going on with his business IF&Co. through his blog. Peep it here....Ben Baller Blog.
BTW...yesterday was the first day since I had this blog that I didn't post anything up. I was MAD tired and fell asleep on the couch at like 8 after a huge ass Philly Cheese Steak. Straight coma status.

Chain Snatchers Anthem...LOL
I came across this video and it had me cracking up. Just an ignorant ode to snatching chains and stories about all the rappers who have had their chains took...
Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept
The NBA All Douche Bag Team
I was watching the Warriors vs. Kings game the other night and was reminded by how much I hate certain players in the NBA. Without even really thinking about it, these 5 players came to mind as the biggest douche's in the NBA. You disagree? Well here is my explanation for each...Joakim Noah = I have never seen a guy celebrate more often for unnecessary reasons. Makes a free throw? Yeah, he will scream and yell. Offensive rebound? This is when Joakim is at his utmost doucheness. (Yeah I know thats probably not a word). Watching this dude just drives me crazy. He's like Ronny Turiaf, but isn't on my favorite team and without the likability factor.
Andres Nocioni = I never knew much about this guy, but when I was at the Warriors vs. Bulls game earlier this year he was whining about every call and I just ended up hating his guts by the time I left the arena. Why does he complain about every call? I don't know either...
Brad Miller = Ever seen a 7 footer almost cry on the basketball court? I did when I watched the Warriors vs. Kings game last week. Miller complained about every call, literally almost cried and he use to have the most hideous braids you could ever see on a white man. Enough said...
Tim Duncan = This might suprise a lot of people. I can admit that Duncan is a tremendously talented player. He has a great game and is easily one of the top players in the league. It's something about him being the most white black guy in the history of the earth that makes me not like him. When Duncan does an interview it sounds like a 45 year old white college professor talking. Wifey makes fun of him every time he is playing, on the tv also...so that adds to me not liking him. PLUS the Spurs have to be the most consistently boring team to watch over the last like 10 years.
Adam Morrison = Douchy Mustache? Check. Crying when losing the NCAA Finals? Check. Hella hype coming in to when he was drafted? Check. Predicted he would be at the very best an entirely mediocre NBA player? Check.
Honorable Mentions
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian - I can't say I have anything against these guys except for one major thing. Why the hell do these guys and Ichiro get their first name on the back of their jersey? It makes no sense. We play in AMERICA. I don't give a crap what they do in their native country. If you want to come to our country to play sports then you should have to go by the same set of rules that all the other players go by. If they can have their first name then LeBron and Kobe should be able to put whatever the hell they want on their jersey!

The Man, The Myth, The Legend...Weezy
Weezy is confirmed to be performing in the 51st Annual Grammy Award on February 8th. 2008 was epic for Lil' Wayne and it looks like he is starting off 2009 on the right foot to be nominated 8 times and performing at the most prestigious award show in music. Hopefully Weezy F Baby will have a couple Grammy's to add to his collection soon!

Jackson Hole!!!!!
I've had my trip booked for a while now, but never said on the blog that I am heading to Jackson Hole to go snowboarding. I will be out there hanging out with two of my dopest friends, snowboarding my ass off and having some good times. I leave Wednesday, February 4th after work and then I come home Sunday, February 8th afternoon. I am going to get 3 solid days in and hope the snow will be awesome when I'm there. My boy texted me to tell me it was -12 degrees there the other day. I don't think I have ever been anything even close to as cold as that. I can't wait for this trip!!!!
The Burton Bonded Windstopper Fleece Jacket:
I just copped this fleece jacket from Burton for my trip to Jackson Hole. It has been cold as hell out there and it will be a great midlayer between my thermals and jacket. If it's not super cold when I'm out there, then this will be a great spring jacket thats lightweight to snowboard in...
RIckey Henderson Inducted to H.O.F.
Rickey Henderson, my favorite baseball player of all time, was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame yesterday. Rickey had an amazing career and currently is #1 all time in Runs, SB, Leadoff HR's and #2 in walks. Rickey was a 10 time All Star and won the MVP award in 1990. Rickey has had a ton of stints with the Oakland A's in his long baseball career. Congrats Rickey!Rickey being inducted to the Hall of Fame brought back some old memories for me. I was about 10 years old playing in the Minor A league and was on the Cleveland Indians. Obviously the Indians were a blue and red uniform, but I still wore my florescent green Mizuno batting gloves like Rickey. LOL.

Jim Jones : Three Amigo's
Damn, it looks like this Three Amigo's DVD might actually might be worth watching. I've already posted a bunch of clips on the blog, but I'm sure there is a lot more good footage.
More Beats....
Is everyone just on the super grind now or what? Wayne, 50, Freeway and Young Chris to name a few....

Kirkwood Pics...
My Dad and I hit up Kirkwood yesterday and had a blast. They haven't had any snow in a while, but we had fun riding the groomed runs and exploring all over the mountain. I practiced in the park a little bit, since I never really try much and have to up that part of my riding. I wish I had pics of me going off this one jump...my Dad said I got at least 4 feet of air. I had no clue how big the jump was and hit it with a ton of speed. Good thing I am only sort of hurt today. LOL. I did something to my elbow, not sure if it was in the park or when I slipped in the parking lot on ice when we were leaving. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. I did...once I got up from the ground.
