Prohbition (a hidden gem in Downtown)

2009-11-27T17:03:00.000-08:00

I had no idea what the fuck was going on when we walked up to an unmarked door with a small slit in it. Nothing had been said to me, thanks to my two associates at the time. Knock, knock on this strange unmarked door in downtown on fifth ave. Slit opens and my associate introduces himself as Gabriel to the large doorman. Apparently they know each other as we were let in promptly.

Through the door and down some stairs we go. Damn, I exclaimed aloud as my eyes darted through this timeless "speakeasy" The lighting, the pictures, the band, everything was so damn authentic feeling. Soon enough a Makers and ginger filled my hand as I absorbed the surroundings (absorbed as the wood in a Makers filled barrel would do).

I highly recommend checking this place out if you can get in or find it. Try the website for a bit of help.http://www.prohibitionsd.com/about.html

So my day started out at Cessy's up in Carlsbad. This is a hidden gem not many know of. The place may not look like much, but they couldn't care less. Typically I am a cali burrito man, or carne in some form or another, however not the case when I dine with Cessy. The chicken burrito is insane, since the tender age of 8 I have enjoyed the mouth wetting, tender, deliciousness filled inside. The chicken is pulled, yup it's fucking pulled. Top it with the best green sauce in San Diego and it's a wrap. (no pun intended) Go get a chicken burrito here please, for me, for you, for Cessy.

Honest expression

2009-08-22T04:06:00.000-07:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE

The past year was a tough yet fascinating trial of tribulations. I very much struggled with inner turmoil, doubt, obsessions, addictions, and confusion as a general. I constantly found myself (as I often and always do) asking my self why? Why am I alive? What is it that I am here to do?

The past year was a wonderful year. I very much relearned many things about myself and the world in which I live. The world in which I live is unique to me, just as the world in which you live in is unique to you. We all have a different understanding and relationship with our outward look inward. We are all alone, yet all connected. I have come to an understanding appreciation. My world is determined by me. Your world is determined by YOU. It is up to us all to create the world in which we shall cherish. A world that provides us with the freedom for success. Success is unique to me, success is unique to YOU. My success is happening at this very moment right now as you read this. Is your success happening at this moment, right now as you read this?

I made many decisions that ultimately lead to a semi-self destructive state of acceptance. It seemed as if I had made up my mind, I am who I am and there is no changing that. This is what I told myself, lies, I told myself lies. I am a very capable liar, capable of lying. Lying to myself is really the sad part of it, to myself? Self-destruction is a cruel punishment. (Self-destruction def: the destruction or ruination of oneself or one's life.) Interesting however that self-destruction is both administered and received by oneself.

I wonder if on purpose I was teaching myself a valuable lesson of life?

Fuck yeah, lesson learned!

I had forgotten that life's happiness comes from within, not the other way around. I was too busy searching on the exterior to see the interior. Conceptually this was a no brainer in my earlier years, easier however with less distraction faced at a young age.

The mind is naturally hungry, thirsty and needy for information. Choose wisely, I will.
The body is naturally hungry, thirsty and needy for nutrition. Choose wisely, I will.
The soul is naturally hungry, thirsty and needy for experience. Choose wisely, I will.

BALANCE I WILL

So I haven't blogged in some time, not sure exactly why though. Its probably because I have been to busy just living life that I have forgotten to do the most important tasks. I still don't have a camera that works so I had to steal a few photos from Glenn. First photo is from my Vegas trip, for those of you that don't know I decided to go there on wed night around 11:00pm. I got there at 4:00AM (yeeeahhh boooooy)

Second Photo: My bday Keg party at rolling hills. It was a great time with good friends, (old and new) skating, great food (thanks Cheryl), and Lawn Bowling. The day went like this: drink,drink,skate,talk and drink, skate, eat and drink, talk, cops, lawn bowl (1st place thanks to my teammate Greg) drink,drink,drink, keg killed, 3 cops and the fire department. That's my life in short.

That caption does not apply when we play, infact it's opposite. If you're not Saucy you can't play with us.

FACT: Historians suggest the game made its way across Europe with Julius Caesar's centurions. At that time, and still today among Italians, the game was known as "bocce". By the 13th Century, "bowls", was entrenched in the British Isles. At the turn of the century, 1299 AD, the Southhampton Old Bowling Green Club was organized in England. The club remains active today, the oldest of record in the world.

Domesticated ?

2009-02-21T09:55:00.001-08:00

I have been too busy thinking to Blog, here we go. So last night I was chillen with the homies when a funny infomercial came on about the CAT GENIE. Interesting? I think not....it’s a fucking toilet that cleans itself made for cats. What is this world coming to? Maybe it's just me but seeing this thing makes me ponder the idea of domestication. Animals are domesticated by humans and society seems to be domesticating itself. We constantly invent products that make life easier for us; we constantly invent things that help us ignore the simplicity of everyday life. FACT! In general retrospect we have become a society plagued be dullness. Technology as great as it can be, unfortunately creates boring ass people. My grandfather has the typical stories of an old dying generation....."In my day I had to walk 10 miles in a blizzard with no socks or shoes just to get water..." we all know the stories. They are GREAT stories! FACT! Our generation will tell different stories of hardships, in example: "In my day I had to wait 15 min for a pizza to cook in the oven or I had to actually use my physical body to drive a vehicle." We are becoming lazy, weak minded people....:( This is a generality so don't feel offended cause your definitely different..ahaha. POINT: Do something the old fashioned way, make something a bit harder on yourself to help build some character.

Stress

2009-01-21T21:34:00.000-08:00

Most people deal with stress by drinking, smoking, doing drugs, etc. These responses to stress do seem to help, for the moment that is. I am guilty as charged, I indulge on the regular in at least on of these activities. I do this because I can, I do this because I choose to. One small problem I see however. If one uses a vice to cope with everyday life struggles, how does one's tolerance for stress increase? It does not! The only tolerance that increases is for the very thing they "depend" on. We are not teaching ourselves to be stronger in this manner, only weak to the ever so everyday woes.

All I'm saying is that a sober day here and there to analyze daily patterns can be a good insight to ones personality, demeanor, and attitude.

Skateboarding..

2009-01-19T22:14:00.001-08:00

Is my true mother fucking passion. Its comes from the soul, its a complete form in its entirety. Skateboarding: a state of expression that frees only that know. One of the true providers in my existence. Release from the struggle of life’s conformity, a blessing on the heavy mind. A state of complete self-awareness helping to bring you into the world, rather than the world into you. Skateboarding...

Single Mingle

2009-01-06T09:47:00.000-08:00

An online chat with Timothy sparked an interesting conversation about people who are single. I haven’t considered myself "single" for sometime now so life has changed a bit. I have been called a player/womanizer many times during my single escapades though. This never bothered me for two reasons 1) Who the Fuck are you to judge me! 2) Everyone who is single is a "player" FACT! Think about it, when a person is trying to meet someone they play the field. It's a mathematical probability; it's like finding the right jeans. First pair you try isn’t going to be "THE ONE", the second probably wont either. If you try on 6 or 7 in the same store you will most likely find the right fit. FACT! SO single people get out there on the field and play where the grass is green, or in the mud. (SICKO) It’s a numbers game baby!

Skater BOT

2008-12-20T15:36:00.000-08:00

"Duude! Shred that sled. It’s Plen the skater bot. Popgadget calls it a “skateboarding” robot. Next version comes with mallcore baggies, iPod Femto full of nü metal, and an attitude."

Wow skateboarding has become a bit mainstream for my taste. There are two sides to the story. I like the fact that a professional skateboarder can make a living and retire simply from enjoying his passion. I hate the fact that its so popular dumbasses far and wide involve themsleves simply to make a buck. Fuck these assholes making money off our passion and joy. A fucking rollerblading ROBOT and the guy calls it a skateboard BOT. Fucking Kook. FACT!

So its been a few nutty nights and days. Friday was Alvins Bday party (around the world theme) It contained a shot luge for Norway with Vodka. A tequila bar for Mexico, A sake bomb station for Japan and finally a beer garden for America. Needles to say, everyone who made the journey was well intoxicated in a timely manner. Saturday night was a cocktail, beerpong party in Point Loma. I don't remember much of it but Steve and I kept our record at 9-1 at that location. Sunday was a all day binge, I need a break. Enjoy this Video (impressive)

Thirsty Thursday!

2008-12-11T22:14:00.000-08:00

Alcohol is one of the worlds great mystery's, a conundrum of great sorts if you will. It creates many things in my life such as: one night stands, much tom foolery, fights, tons of fun, "meaningful conversations", blackouts, hangovers, etc. IT is something ever so normal to me, like taking a shower. The time is now, I am young I am dumb lets drink a shitload and have tons of fun. See you all there!

The great Escape!

2008-12-09T09:04:00.000-08:00

My mind is one of many wanderings...astray focus is found.

So I have been contemplating a move for almost a year now and finally it's time. I've gone back and fourth in my head with two destinations, one being San Francisco and two Brazil. The differences are quite drastic I know, however both have substantial appeal. I’m surprised in myself because my decision was actually based off a thought of the future. I’m not typically concerned with how things will pan out, however things have changed....slightly. It's time to focus my extremely ample amount of energy on something worthwhile. I will be traveling to SF in the next two months to view my schooling options. I have a passion for creativity and a strategic eye for composition. This reason leads me to major in graphic design, while getting background knowledge in 3-d animation and web layout. With this plan I create the possibility of a brighter future. My plan is to be gone from SD within 5 months..... good things take time. Many things I will miss, however to rid my life of monotony will create tremendous satisfaction.

Comment number 3).. Its not like you have to try and make people like you.

Hmmm.two sides to take on this one, but I think I have to be real in order to stick to the theme of my page. My response to this comment is simple yet misunderstood. Who ever said I try to make people like me? FUCK that goes against everything I stand for, obviously because I'm not a people pleaser. I do things to make me like me not you like me. I really don’t give a shit if you like me or not because that’s the best world to live in. If anyone thinks I act a certain way or do things in order to get liked that's complete hokus pokus. This isn't a fucking magic trick, I’m not Houdini and there is no smoke and mirrors here. I think it's hilarious that people would go out of their way to make people "like them". Honestly, why the hell would you act a certain way or do certain things you usually wouldn't in order to gain "friends"? Doesn't that sound dumb to you? Yeah I know, I know. I sound like an asshole with a cold and bitter heart. Newsflash....I really don’t care what I sound like or how I come across! If I'm worried about the way I'm acting then I'm just being fake. FAKE=INSECURITY My point here, which I'm sure some of you are wondering what the hell it is, is that you shouldn’t give a flying FUCK about other peoples view on you. Who looks at you in the mirror every morning?

So here we go again....Comment number 2)Why do you think the world revolves around you?
My answer to this pathetic attempt at a question comes from my adolescent years. (roughly 8 years old) It was a crisp winter day with my mother terribly ill and my uncle holding down the fort. For some profound reason I had determined it would be a perfect time to continuously run up an down the halls of our apartment shouting profanities at the top of my lungs. As my mother was sick my uncle stopped me and stated, "Andrew your mother is ill with a bad headache your really disrupting things." All knowing at the time i simply replied without hesitance, "Not in my world I'm not!" HA...I continued to gallivant up and down, yelling without a care in the world.

This situation proves that I was quite the wit even at a young age. I obviously understood that the only thing that directly effected my experience was me, if I so chose that is. "Not in my world I'm not!" This is another upside to narcissism, I care about me more than you so fucking deal with it. Whats boggles my mind is that most people are so diluted that they actually think their not self centered. Wake the FUCK UP PEOPLE! You are all selfish beings, it's human nature, so the sooner you come to grips with it is the sooner things get better.....for you. Think to yourself; honestly it's just you so,....don't blow smoke up your own ass. That's just plain out wrong. Think..."When was the last time I did something for someone without wanting something in return?" SO it's probably been a while if even ever, right? YES is the real answer cause your not GHANDI or Mother Teresa so fuck off and get with the real program. Really. .....So you think you are a true giver?,not self centered? HAHAHA that's a fucking crack up.

The last time you "GAVE" you did expect something in return... at the very least you wanted to feel good about yourself. See there you go again thinking of you, you selfish bastard! No need to embellish here unless your dumb? Point proven. I'm a narcissist and all of you are selfish! That's a common trait we all share even if you don't like it, or won't admit it. SO FUCK IT be happy with you...

2008-12-04T13:42:00.000-08:00

So I'm on my way home from work today thinking about my life AS A WHOLE. For some reason all these comments just keep coming in my head, not comments deriving from myself though........ but from others. EXAMPLES: 1) Andrew you're always so cocky when your drunk! 2) Why do you think that the world revolves around you? 3) Its not like you have to try and make people like you...... So as these comments race through my head at a speed unfathomable I erupt in a joyous laughter. Why one might ask why, DUH I'm laughing because the comments are about me, I like when people talk about me. That's how I have always been, and my mother would verify if need to do so. {SIDE NOTE: as this blog continues I will discuss my joys of narcissism.} So let's think about the first comment, "You're always so cocky when your drunk." The commenter proceeded to tell me that its not very attractive, blah blah blah.... we have all heard it before, right? Easy response, "This world likes cocky people, FACT! Look at movie stars, look at politicians, look at business owners, shit look at anyone succuessful for that matter. Anyone who knows success didn't get there by doubting themselves. NO FUCKING WAY THEY DID! If your successful many people are jealous.(Everyone likes successful people, Don't fucking deny it) FACT! My point is that being into yourself helps success! This world doesn't like pussies, who the fuck wants to hire a little insecure bitch. Bottom line: My confidence level, AKA:cockiness may rise to gut wrenching heights when I'm drunk; but its a hell of a lot better than being a scared little whiner wondering why the girls wont talk to him.

Next BLOG: Response to number 2 comment. Fuck that response dates back from when I was 8 years old. (I was even a narcissist then!)

Ah to add myself to this overpowering and ever consuming world of mass bloggers. To start this journey in such a fashion can only be performed by those who try. A very intelligent, yet small and green man, once said "there is no try but only do and do not"! I just did and will continue to do for as long as possible. Day 1
