LA Auto Show!!!

Sorry for taking so long posting!

It's my favorite time of the year!!  Yup, it is the Los Angeles Auto Show.  This year was more or less the same as last year with more "green" cars.  My hat was off to Lexus.  They actually paid for our $30 valet parking. 

As with last year there were very few Italian cars.  Very dissapointing.  No, very depressing.  I am kind of irked that the state of California is a HUGE car market and these asswipes were a no show.  They did have the Fiat 500.  Personally I think that is one of the best looking entry-level car you can get that doesn't make you look like a teenager. 

 Here is the "Urban" car from Cadillac.  Idono about these midget cars.  You have to get this as a 2nd car... 

I was in the back seat with my peeps in this wickedly fast Cadillac CTS-V WAGON!  Yup, these guys made a supercar wagon that hauls lots of your stuff at high speeds.  Nice!

This is a cool concept car from Mazda.

This would be one of the dopest cars you can purchase: the Mercedes SLS. 

Here is another angle of the Cadillac citi car. 

Note the Droid X!!

So sorry for the lack of pictures.  My Droid ran out of juice in the frirst hall!  My buddy Yessi has more that I will gladly post.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

This video game came out in October 29, 2009. 

In case you have your head under a rock this was a hugely anticipated game.

For me, I knew of my video game addiction and this was the tipping point for me to "come to the dark side" and purchase a video game console.  It was because of this, I stood in line (reminded me of when I would stand in line for shoes) in the middle of the night to get my copy.  The next day I purchased an Xbox 360.  Afterwards, I really played this video game for months.  I probably played it for at least 2 months, lost tons of sleep, and even more potential productivity.  I really did enjoy it.  When I was playing this game, it was like being in NYC.  I wish I could go there more often than Las Vegas.  The music was fantastic and each time you play, you could discover something new.  The funny thing about the game is the title of it.  I have to admit that I would be the last person on earth to buy anything that has anythin Gay on it, but it was really fun.  You are the antagonist Luis Lopez (who is straight) and you work for Gay Tony.  Yes, he is gay.  But he is a sucessful business man and you work with him and get into his mis-adventures and sometimes bail him out of problems he causes because you are loyal.  So yes, this video game is worth the money, but clear your schedule for some unproductivity because this game is incredibly addictive.

Greekfest in Arcadia

Yesterday morning, we went to the gym and on the way back, I noted the Greekfest at the Santa Anita (Race) Park.  No, there were no race cars, they actually race horses.  The fact that they use the word "park" and do not mention anything about horses makes it a bit confusing.  So back to the event, I had a very pleasant luch.  It probably defeated the purpose of going to the gym, but the food was pretty tasty and the prices were cheap compared to other festivals.  I have noted that lots of other festivals are becoming "cash intensive".  In other words, NOT cheap!  I suppose this is the result of poor management and the inability of keeping overhead down, consequently you get ripped off for a non-profit organization.  Kind of ironic to get gouged by someone not trying to make a profit.  Reminds me of those kids that stand outside of supermarkets trying to get you to buy $4 candybars.  It is cheaper just to give them a couple of dollars and tell them not to do drugs.  At this Greekfest, I was amazed how cheap things were.  Parking was $4; more expensive than tickets to get in ($3).  Food was $5 for a tasty Gyro, and plates were $10.  Beers were $5.  I left this place full and got a decent value.

This guy is making Greek "donuts"

Ready to Eat!

Lots of lambs "took it for the team" here!

New Mercedes SLS

Say hello to the new 2011 Mercedes SLS.

This would be the first Mercedes SLS that I have ever seen on the streets.  This car has the gullwing style doors and sounds amazing.  This car is unique because it was initially concieved as an AMG product and they only used their parent Mercedes for safety equipment.  All of the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.  This car's predecessor was the Mclaren SLR which costed $400k.  The MSRP on this is $180k so that means this car is a bargain!  From what I understand, the performance from both cars is similar, but the SLS looks better. 

And the owner is pretty cool also.

Dyson Fan

Yesterday I got my new incredible Dyson Air Multiplier.  Essentially its a FAN with no blades.  Pretty amazing.  It is remarkable because there are no other products remotely similar to it.  I actually got a great deal on these EXPENSIVE fans.  So normally the small 10" fans (I got the cool blue one) cost an eye-popping $300.  I managed to get it for still-expensive $200 out-the-door.  For the record, I don't think fans cost more than $20. 

Leave it to James Dyson to determine that there was a problem with those conventional fans and invented something superior, artful, and frankly amazing.  When you feel a breeze that appears to come out of NOWHERE, you are perpexed.  Furthermore, the breeze is similar to the wind.  It is difficult to describe and everyone is amazed when they see it in action.  I like sticking my head in it.  I am working on training my pets to jump through the thing.  I will keep you posted.

TV Armoirs

I just got back from my Labor Day vacation from lovely La Jolla.  The hotel room was pretty nice.  We stayed at the Sheraton.  It appears to me that this place has been recently remodeled.  The ameneties included a plasma tv, microwave (they even give you popcorn for it!), wet bar, silverware with plates, an empty refridgerator (I hate it when they load it up so that you can't put any food in it), even a shoe shiner (whoa).  The place even had free wifi.  It's all fine and dandy, but these people put the plasma tv in this UGLY Armoir.  I hate these things.

These things are fucking ugly, take up too much room, and should have been thrown them out with the old school tv tube.  The place does get points for the dvd player and not being a shit and blocking the inputs on the TV.  I appreciate that the hotel lets people bring their own media players and let them connect to the tv instead of being forced to watch garbage.  I can bring my own garbage, thankyouverymuch.

Inflation?

What's up everyone?  I haven't written anything in a while and I just saw something that merited me to make some time and note it.

Ok so big deal right?  Actually it is.  I am betting that Wallgreens has a theft problem.  I am pretty sure my wife purchased this at a Wallgreens in San Francisco of which I have personally visited.  That one by Union Square has most of their products behind plexiglass and you have to push an button to summon an employee to purchase that product.  So they think its more cost effective to put these stickers on their products.  Regardless though, it's shit like this that makes everything more expensive for everyone actually PURCHASING their products.  I suppose if you are a thief, you don't feel inflation as much as the rest of the world.  So I would like to take a quick moment to recognize these people that came to the conclusion that hygene is important enough that that they are willing to break the law.  Fuckyouverymuch.

Jury Duty

A personal achievement has been recorded recently!!!  I just broke my perfect, undefeated winning streak of ZERO for jury duty!  No seriously, I just got my first jury duty EVER in nearly 15 years.  That is truely a milestone in my book. 

Now you can go back to whatever you were previously doing.

My New Favorite Things!!!

Hello all!  I have several favorite things that are pretty dope.  First on the list is my new Motorola Driod X

Hello Moto!

This phone is simply the shit.  No, I didn't wait in line.  No, seriously it does nearly everything I could possibly want and more.  I can take my phone and easily connect it to someone's TVand watch HD TV.  You can create a mobile hot spot just like the MIFI.  You will note Super Mario is running as wallpaper.  That is truely amazing.  I even got a nice dock. 

You get 3 customizable landscape home screens when you have your Droid docked.

 

The biggest problem with all these abilities is that they all consume more battery.  If you just talk on the phone and not fuck with it, you are A-Ok.  If not, within a couple of hours your phone will start giving the battery low beep.  You see these phones are like crack because their uses are endless. 

Here was a picture I took when I was at Costco. 

I was messing around with the photo settings.  Pretty neat.  Supposedly its 8MP. 

LeBron-a-thon Is Over!

Now that the LeBron-a-thon is over, everyone can take a collective exhale.  I was amazed about the new level hype of all this has achieved.  No really, everyone, let us not kid ourselves, he does NOT have a championship ring...yet.  D'wane Wade already has one.  Furthermore, I was not impressed by LeBron's last playoff games.  The one key thing that superstars do on cue is deliver the goods.  MJ and Kobe are perfect examples of players that can and will deliver to their team when necessary.  LeBron has one one to blame but himself for his shortcomings in Cleveland. 

Which leads me to my next topic Cleveland.  You guys fell in love with your superstar because you actually thought that he would be the savior that would bring glory to your little shithole town.  Sorry, but for me personally, other than financial gain, I would never plan any trip to that city.  Things happen in the BIG cities like Boston, Los Angeles, NYC, and Miami.  No offence, but you don't have people lining up to move into your town. 

Don't believe the hype.  You did, Nike did, the mayor did, and now you guys burning his jerseys and have several million haters.

As for the owner of the team, Mr. Dan Gilbert, who is responsible for making TurboTax and Quicken Loans (and worth 1.1B)  should sell the team.  Your best asset left the team and you will die before you find any one person that can replace this guy.  You found the goose that laid the golden egg and you kicked that goose to a sunny state.  Sell your team and get a new hobby because you will be embarassed further when the Miami Heat show up and rip your sorry team a new one.

Blockbuster is the Jerkoff of the Month

I thought I would take a moment to complain about these assholes. I remember growing up with lots of choices of stores to purchase music and movies. Then came Blockbuster Music. I really liked it. They had something called a "music station" where you would bring any cd from the store to this station where you could take your time and listen to that cd. I also liked the prices because you actually got more than pocket change back from your $20 for one cd. That was one of the most annoying things when you purchased one cd for nearly $20 and only like one fucking song. Soooo, since Blockbuster Music came in, all the other music stores started shutting down.

Music Plus
The Wherehouse
Sam Goody
Tower Records (that was very sad seeing them close)

So Blockbuster Music started dominating that sector, but the next thing I know, Blockbuster Music is shutting down too! Perhaps we had too many music stores, but all I know is that they are all gone.

As for Blockbuster Video, everyone knows about their late fee gouging etc, but the story was similar, they came in, demolished the competition (or outright purchased them like Hollywood Video) and now they are shutting down???
So yes, Blockbuster, you are my Jerkoff of the Month. Congratulations.

Mamma Mia??

I am proud to say that I have successfully avoided seeing this movie/musical up to an hour ago. I just thought that I would mention to you all up front that I despise musicals and despise ABBA even more. That said, I knew that watching this movie would definitely give me nightmares.

I saw a few portions of the movie and from what I saw, the daughter is getting married, and for some reason goes through her mom's diary (always a bad idea when they are alive) and finds out her mom is an easy lay, and doesn't use protection. To add insult to injury the mom doesn't even know who the biological father is and narrowed it down to 3 guys. What kind of fucked up, irresponsible shit is that? Which leads me to my next question: If you claim you only banged 3 guys in a short period, you probably could have fucked more. Did she turn into a slut overnight or was this an ongoing lifestyle?  Meanwhile, I don't sorry for the other guys that got slopping 2nds, or 3rds for that matter.   There is lots of virgin poontang around and you don't have to take a number.  Meanwhile everyone is singing along. I was irked because of those potential dads is James Bond himself. Mr. Bond has never been in a predicament like this and really could have used "Q" to help him out.  I was amazed that we never find out who the biological dad is...   If you must see it, charge up your iPod and get it ready!

Same But Different

This is going to be a neat blog because I will post cars that I think look too similar and priced waaaay apart!  First up is the 2010 Mazda 3. 

This car is a Mazda 3 and starts at $15,000 MSRP.

This next one I actually have driven and it was like driving a space ship.

Say hello to the $42,000 Lexus HS250.  Three times the car?  You be the judge.

---------------------------

Let me introduce to you a 2010 Lexus RX330

This car starts at $38,000 and usually go for $45,000.

This is another Mazda, the CX-9 which costs $29,000.

I Want My MTV

What little I saw of the MTV Movie Awards, I thought that it was some salute to the First Amendment or something like that.  It was sooo bad that MTV issued an immediate apology.  I thought that Tom Cruise was very entertaining, and ohyes, Christina Aguilera has a LED heart on her poontang.  I have never seen anthing close to this.  I will post a link so you can check it out yourself.

ATTUverse

I have had ATT Uverse for over a year already and have been overall happy with it.  There are a couple of things that I would have done different, but I thought that I could post up some hints or experiences or just random shit. 

I thought I would give some helpful methods to get through the phone system as quickly as possible to talk to a person for Technical Support, because merely getting to talk to someone is a small battle in itself.

1. Give them your phone number so that their telephone system can look you up. You need to REMEMBER THAT PHONE NUMBER!!
2. Since its voice activated, the key words are TV (you need to designate a department), and then say "AGENT", and that will direct you straight to a human. You need to enunciate each word. That is key. They always say there is a high volume of traffic to discourage you. Do NOT be discouraged. You have gone this far and you DESERVE get to an agent and get your issue resolved/acknowledged… so that you can get a refund later on.

Sometimes I suspect that the agents are soooo dumb that they are not human: they are monkeys clicking on a computer and you hear the automated response from the computer.

With ATT Uverse, they are either Pilipino or from the Midwest like South Texas.


I am thinking of updating this page so that I can give some other notes on ATT Uverse.

Ugly Cars and Mansory

Hello all!  I would like to take  a moment to talk about ugly cars and more specificaly this company called Mansory (that is not a typo).  What kind of name is Mansory anyways?  Its like Man, I am Sorry I made this shit!  I am going to compile a list of DFU (Damn Fucking Ugly) cars.  On the top of the list (as of this posting) is the Porsche Panamera.  If you look at the car from the front and then the side and then the back, you go from uncomfortable to downright nasty.  The back of the car literally is BUTT ugly. 

The front isn't that bad. 

Here is where the problem is.  The rear. 

That back end is aweful.  You will see proof of it in a couple of years when they "refresh" the design.  You know, I seriously hope that Porsche makes some money for this car because it is simply an ABOMINATION.  I think that the Cayanne is worse overall, but they made some serious money on those posers that buy that garbage.  If you read the reviews for the Panamera, ALL the journalists don't like this car, sooo good luck Porsche.  I just saw this aftermarket make the car even uglier.  I was surprised that it was possible. 

Meet the Mansory Panamera. 

Kind of looks like a remote controlled toy car.

Of all the aftermarket manufacturers, I think that Mansory makes cars them uglier by far.  They actually fucked with the perfectly good Ferrari 599 and made it ugly and named it the Mansory Stallone. 

These guys need to give the crack pipe a rest and get back work.

What's up with Danica Patrick?

I just started noticing that Danica has been in the news for a new reason.  She is getting booed.  I was blown away, until I saw her with sunglasses on blaming the car and her team for the lack of performance.  I would make a bet that she was crying under those sunglasses.  I am still amazed that she is/was that popular still.  For someone that had won ONE race and with 6 seasons under her belt 2005-2010, she averaged 8th place.  This year she will be 12th place.  So what makes this girl so popular?  Hmmmmmm, perhaps because she is 28 years old and a girl?  Um, no.  She is just another pretty face.  Anna Kournikova wasn't popular because of her talent.  There were many other people that were better than her men and women.  Why did she get all these endorsements?  She is just another pretty face.  Its pretty cool to be able to milk it because of how you look.  Unfortunately when Maria Sharapova came into the picture that shows that she can look good and be a winner, we saw less of Anna Kournikova in ads.  In this case, there have been very few girls in the racing category and they were all ugly.  I thought that Danica would be popular until her "Maria" comes around, but I guess people are getting tired of her pretty face with sub-par results, and lately putting down her crew.  Apparently she is in process of going to NASCAR?  Good luck with that. 

My New Transport

Say "Hello" to my new P.O.S..(piece of shit). 

I am always saying to myself that this car is better than walking while driving this Nissan Altima.  This is partially true, with the exception of short distances.  This car is aweful.  I would have to say the worst part is the Continiously Variable Tranmission.  This car does not shift.  It just drones and moans and doesn't sound good.  I am amazed how many people own this car and put up with the daily moan the car makes.  It appears that it's going to take a month to fix my car so this auto will have to serve its purpose.

Carpool Lanes...Mixed Emotions!

In my opinion, the carpool lane (HOV) is a failure in Southern California. I don't know about other areas, but I do know for a fact that someone's idea to change social behavior and encourage strangers to carpool with each other does not happen and if it does, it wastes your time. Notice when you are in peak traffic and the carpool lane is empty and you are doing 5MPH. I know for a fact that if the carpool lanes were abolished, the average speed of vehicles would increase especially during rush hour traffic because the traffic would be spread out more evenly through the lanes. The facts that the average speed is low and makes us consume more fuel, generate more pollution, and even miss out on federal dinero. If we would be driving faster (even slightly) makes us burn less fuel, less pollution and gives us more federal grants! Not to mention you would be less pissed off because you would get home sooner.



On the flip side of things, I like the carpool lanes because no one is in them! Lately I have observed that there are few police cars in rush hour traffic because it isn't efficient to have your auto stuck doing nothing. I am one of those shits that drive in the carpool lane by myself. Especially if time is of the essence, and no one is in the carpool lane, and if a big truck is coming down! If you are going to break the law, I would suggest that you wait for a big truck or suv to block the vision of a "5.0" so they can't see you by yourself! You just wait patiently to get into the lane and wait for a truck and get in there before them!  Your only foe is the motorcycle cop.  They will come up on the right and look into your passenger mirror to see if there is someone there.  FYI. 

I have been violating the carpool lane pretty significantly for a couple of years already and I haven't gotten one citation for it!

Latest Update

So I got into an accident.  Actually it all went down on last Mother's Day on Sunday.  Consequently, I haven't been able to Yelp much nor add to my blog! 

Say Hello to my crashed Lexus IS350.  That would be 12k in damages.  No Bueno.

So I did injur my arm and back so I haven't been able to type that much. 

Ferraris in Pasadena

There were all these Pasadena earlier today and I want to share with you all what you missed out on. 

Here is a Ferrari F-50.  There were only 349 made.  You can check this one at the Peterson Museum.  These go for 700k+

This would be a 288 GTO.  There are only 277 made and cost north of 300k.

This would be a Ferrari F-40.  It has a very simiar engine as the 288 GTO (above).  1,315 have been made.

They re-visited the triple tailpipe in their new 458 Italia.

Check out the intercoolers of the twin-turbo V-8!  I wonder if the trunk cover gets dirty easily?

Here is another pic of it.  They really took care of this car.

Note the tiny luggage compartment.  Normally the spare tire goes there...

So, there were several other autos other than Ferraris.  More notably the coming of the new Mercedes SLS.  I really like this car for a couple of reasons.... this car comes from AMG from the start, its waaay cheaper than the old SLR, and looks better than the SLR!  I didn't expect it to get 20 MPG on the freeway!

These bozos opened up everything on this car. 

I wish I could have taken some pictures when it was closed up.

Mr. Issiz,  Thank you for making this Mercedes engine.

What is Gambling Exactly?

I would greatly appreciate it if someone would show me why governments shun gambling and demonize it yet there are many other types of gambling that are widely accepted and sometimes required. 

Insurance is gambling to an extent. You are betting that you are going to have an accident of some sort and the Insurance is betting that nothing is going to happen. I am amazed that there is all kinds of insurance. I wonder if they have insurance for insurance. 
Buying stocks is kind of like gambling: you are betting that a specific stock is going to go up in value.

Horse betting isn't a big deal, but for some reason (perhaps because of the animals) it isn't shunned. Has anyone mentioned to you what happens to the animal AFTER it's done with its racing years? If it isn't a good performer BAAAD things happen. You can read up on that in your spare time, but rest assured, its not pretty.

Buying lottery tickets is gambling. At least schools benefit (Some do I guess??). What I found intriguing is Bingo. I was floored when I found out about high stakes Bingo and that people drop a considerable amount to make money with this form of gambling. And no one blinks because everyone thinks that its just a bunch of grannies playing with pocket change.

Even starting up a business on your own is a gamble. My point here is that what makes these types of gambling any different than a casino with cards? Does the government think that casinos have an unfair advantage or that the people are too stupid? Or does it think that it would rather have people spend the money on goods that they don't need?

Regardless, my opinion is that you should be able to do whatever with your money and if you are too stupid to handle it responsibly, you deserve to be poor.

Just like I believe that there is a certain percentage of the population that should be renters. Not everyone is cut out for the responsibility for owning property. We had ownership in the USA at an all time high a handful of years ago, and to be in that club, all you needed was a mediocre 630 FICO. What people were not prepared for was the responsibility that goes with the property, and the dire consequences of constantly refinancing the property and cashing out.  I dare you to ask those people what they did with the money and they usually say the same "I don't know".  Wow. 

Big Brother on Brits BIG TIME!

WOW!  OMFG it sucks for you British drivers!  Speedspike!  This (American) system (I apologize for us Americans making this shit) with satellites know where you are and find out how fast you are going. 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7608153/New-speed-cameras-trap-motorists-from-space.html You can read about it on the Telegraph paper.  They can mail your speeding ticket without you even knowing! 

You Brits should do something about this shit. 

Top Gear should do something about it because that is just wrong.

The Hunt for Daddy!

Recenty there have been a flood of those Daddy Longlegs!  This is not all a bad thing!  Fred has been after these guys with mixed results.  Here is Fred planning an attack.

Loose Women Sink Ships

All you loose women that tempt men are causing all these earthquakes!  Well an Iranian Cleric is now apparently an expert with earthquakes because he claims that all these earthquakes are from women!  You can check out the Cnn.com video.  Very funny!
http://cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2010/04/21/nr.sayah.iran.women.quake.cnn
I wonder if women cause the rest of natural disasters?

Double or Nothing?

I did it.  I satisfied my curiosity with this new product from KFC called the Double Down.  The fact that I like to gamble in Las Vegas and Blackjack is my choice of game made me even more intrigued.  I saw a video on CNN.com with one of my favorite people at CNN- Jeanne Moos Click here to see the video!  So it was dinnertime and I survived tax day in one piece and felt accomplished.  I decided I wanted to eat something new and I thought I should check out this new breadless sandwich phenomenon.  When I arrived, there weren't a whole lot of people there.  I looked around and there wasn't any advertisements for the Double Down.  Then I ordered it and was sadly disapointed.  That specific store wasn't included in the promotion for some strange reason.  So somehow it all boiled down to them not having the bacon in the middle.  Oh well.  I ordered it regardless and coincidentally enough my wife called me at the exact moment I was ordering my food.  So I got her some grilled chicken. 

I honestly thought I should do a youtube "unboxing" to show the world what it is all about, but I decided to post some pictures here and write about it instead. 

Ok so here is the box it came in. Kind of underwhelming for the uproar this thing has caused.

Here is the exterior shot of the low carb ordeal. 

These guys had the wrapper for the Double D but didn't have the bacon???

And here are the innards of this kosher (sort of) style Double Down.

I didn't like it.  It wasn't because it was greasy.  I am not too keen on breast meat in general and in my opinion it was a bit dry.  I don't know.  Perhaps it is better with bacon.  I do know that everything is better and this should not be an exception.  My wife on the other hand really liked it as is . 

So let me know if you like it.

The Parade is Back!

Happy Day! Mother's Cookies are back! (Actually they have been back for over 10 months) I remember when Mother's Cookies declared Bankruptcy in 2008 and then shut down in October 2008. I feared that my favorite Animal Parade was gone forever! The depressing part was when you went to the supermarket and saw the empty area where the cookies used to live. Very sad indeed. Yesterday I went to the supermarket with my buddy and his young son and went to the cookie aisle and discovered that Mother's Cookies was purchased by Kellogg and they went back home (to the shelves in the supermarket) on May 14, 2009.

FYI, their packaging is exactly the same. After some scrutiny, I noted the Kellogg wording on the side discreetly. Apparently the parent company of Mother's (doesn't that sound weird?) really mismanaged their company. Kellogg will do better.



Thank you Kellogg!!!!!

Changing Passwords

Ok so finally someone came to their senses and determined what everyone else suspected. 

Drumroll please.....changing passwords often does not improve security. 

In fact it wastes time, and money.  Thank you for making us go through this shit for a couple of years and then coming up with this obvious conclusion.  I am not your average computer user and have been aware of this for quite some time already.  If some bozo wants to hack into your computer they will do it eventually.  It's just a matter of time.  That's all they need.  Basic computer principles come into play for security.  Don't use password as your password... and when you are going on vacation, you should turn off your wireless while you are gone.  Generally speaking, simple shit that you can do without wasting your time are the best security measures.  Once you start getting into paranoia, complex security measures, it costs significant more dinero and your time.  Your time is a harder cost to measure because you have to remember a new password ever couple of months, and then you forget it, and then you get locked out, which results in you having to call tech support to reset your password to some other shit and then you have to change it to something else and you have to remember a new password.  And this wastes how much of your time because some dumb shit says that this improves security?

I cannot tell you how many fucking hours I have wasted because some asswipe determines that we have to change passwords every 3 months.  We need to start educating people smart security, not this lame ass shit.

I'm With CoCo

So Conan is BAAAAAAHHHK!!!  He is doing live shows in amphitheatres all over.  And supposedly the masturbating bear is reincarnated as a "self pleasuring panda". 

No really, I went to look for his show online and they were all sold out!  Good for you CoCo!  So I am going to see if I can score some tickets from some 3rd party.  There was a bit of controversy about him going to TBS and "bumping" the George Lopez Show.  But it looks like it's all good George talked about it a bit on Larry King Live (and Larry is getting a divorce because his wife thinks he is banging her sister????) WFT?  While I am talking about LKL, you should go check out the Snoop Dogg interview he did the other day.  Click here to check it out on youtube.com
So back to CoCo, I wish you the best of luck.

Slow Prius in the Fast Lane

What is up with all these Priuses in the fast lane (literally)? Every freaking day I drive to work I have to drive around these self-righteous people! I have no problem with you saving the environment, but do you really have to clog up the fast lane? Here is a news flash for you guys (and gals): YOUR PRIUS IS NOT FAST!!!! IN FACT IT IS SLOW. It may be faster than walking, or a bicycle, or a scooter, or a golf cart but compared to gas powered autos, you are not going to win any drag races (unless its a contest to see who has the lowest drag coefficient). You guys might be good at saving fuel, but do you really have to be inconsiderate and slow down traffic?  Here is a novel idea... the fast lane is for people driving FAST!! 

Hello everyone! This is my new blog. My goal here is to give you an idea of what is going on in my mind! I read lots of news articles and I will post some commentary about some things I find interesting. I do have a yelp page http://br430.yelp.com/ and my intention is that this blog is an extension of my yelp page.

So my first topic that I am writing about is this BLIND Turkish pop singer raced his $250,000+ baby blue Ferrari 430 Scuderia to 182MPH. His buddy guided him in red Ferrari 430 Scuderia that followed him.

I wasn't even aware that the Guinness Book of World Records had a category for fastest blind driver. I do know that they HAD a category for drinking alcoholic beverages but they removed it in 1991 in fear of litigation. I guess they weren't concerned about blind people driving fast. Here is the link to the youtube video of it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDh4loFf-eQ
Yes, there are more relevant topics out there, but this one was pretty outrageous and I am a Ferrari fan!
