Weekend, Hurry Up!!!

I've been all over the place the past few weeks and luckily Jay was able to get me another GPS unit to use while I'm on the road, you're a lifesaver. I don't know how I would do with all the driving without this piece of device. I'm very grateful for having great friends and glad that I can do the same whenever they need help. Technology these days, sometimes you can't live without it.

Today, I was able to hear great news from my boss, we got 2 more workers to help me out with the work around my area. Since the other dude left, I had a lot of work to cover around my region, but in a couple weeks my work will hopefully drop. That is it, have a great work week, 3 more days and we have a 3-day weekend!

Damn, I got jacked

This past weekend, I just noticed that someone broke into my car and took a few items. This probably happened around 5-7pm Friday evening. I didn't realized anything was missing until I finished washing my car Saturday afternoon. The first thing I noticed was gone was my Vacuum cleaner that I had for work to use on my dirty jobs. I was going to clean my car's interior after washing it and didn't think much because I thought I left it at one of my jobs and just forgot to bring it back with me. The second thing I noticed gone was my portable GPS unit. I couldn't believe it, this is one of the most used item in my car. It took me to many places, including all the dental offices that I've visited and certain spots that I've liked to check out. I just thought to myself, how come I don't see the docking station on my windshield and then it hit me... Damn, I got jacked. This was actually when I found out that my stuff got stolen. The third item, I noticed that my glove compartment was wide open and my heart dropped when I noticed my Swiss Army watch was gone. I placed my watch inside the glove when I had a job that was going to get dirty and didn't want my watch to get scuffed up. I protected it from getting harmed, but it wasn't enough for now it is long gone. This was the main item I wish they had not taken, because it had a lot of sentimental value to me. The fourth item that was stolen was my Canon SD400, a point and shoot camera that I left inside my center glove box just in case anything happened I could take pictures at any moment.

Saturday night, I couldn't sleep well because I kept on thinking what the heck could have happened that day. I know there was no forced entry to my vehicle because there were no windows broken nor any doors picked open. Now here I am writing down the things I'm missing at 5am Sunday morning trying to figure out who would take these from me. I may have forgotten to lock my door as I went inside my house Friday evening, but dang, a lesson that I have to learn the hard way.

Rock It Don't Stop It!!!

Taken from my cousin, Karlo's, blog...

"For some odd reason my IQ doubles when i take a dump...Obviously i am concentrating more..But its actually my quiet time by myself, i do the most thinking and its honestly where i do my best reading...over the weekend i did my own double blind study, testing the the artform of the GRUNT while trying to achieve maximum force...There was a 55 year old guy to my left, and a young 9 year old boy to my right...

The boy i feel was way beyond his years in his Grunting technique...His grunt sound like this MMMMM.... He had a little throat action, but very impressive...I feel to become a true master he needs to work his endurance during his grunt....

The older man has been around the block, and obviously knows what technique works best for him...His Mating Call went a little something like this..."SHHRREEHHHHHHHSHHHH" combined with a sound like spit is coming out of the side of his mouth...I also imagine him pushing off one of his legs to gain more leverage and therefore more power, cuz it did sound like it was painful..His grunt lasted a good 8 seconds....and next thing you know i hear is "KERPLUNK"!!! my goodness this was a true master at work...Now he doesnt have to wipe his ass, cuz the splash he made probably made everything spotless...Wow very impressed!!!

I feel my technique is very good as well, if it was a martial art i would be a 5th degree black belt...I combine my vocal, physical, and spirtual and make it as one...My grunt sounds a little like this..."EEEEEEEEKKKK" for me holding that E note blocks away the pain...Physically i posture my body the best possible way to make everything to go down easy..I connect my knees together, put my ankles apart, and hold both walls of the stall..Its not easy to do this, so dont be surprised if u try it and u fall right over....Spritually, i block everything out of my mind and be one with my Maker..in my head i run the thought of "please God dont let it hurt" over and over till the deed is done...

Everyone has a technique, i hope learned some tips tonight...But be carefull, remember what told u was done by Professionals who perfected their craft......

While i was doing my doodie...one of my Favorite Songs played..My Body is a Wonderland by John Mayor...at first i controlled myself and limited myself to a small hum and tapping my feet...But i couldnt help it and i just started to sing when it got the part "Your Candy Lips, and your bubble gum tongue, So if you want love...." i dont know if u were in the next stall, would u be shaking my head....luckily i was finished before the other guy left, so he didnt see me...

Aight God Bless

Karlo"

This is one of the funniest thing I've ever read about taking dumps, but it is true. There are many ways to achieve oneness with yourself while at the bathroom stall. I prefer the silent approach and just let my ass do the talking. Always a good approach when you have someone next to you because it gives you motivation to rock it even harder. The best is when you get compliments from other crappers at the stall when you unload, I've had quite a few, haha. Alright, enough about this crap talk... I gotta go rock it right now, have a good one!

Bay Area Cousins Trip

Flying up North this weekend was amazing. Finally met our new nephew, Baby Aiden. It was a good weekend to hang out with my cousins again checking out the City and then spending time playing games and bbqing.

My favorite part of the trip was when my cousins brought us to a good spot for some desserts at Fentons Creamery in Oakland. I ended up battling this new dessert, the Banana Special. We gotta hit up this spot again.

HUGE scoops, we mean HUGE scoops, of Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry ice cream cradled by a whole ripe banana. Topped with pineapple, strawberry and chocolate fudge. Topped off with almonds, whipped cream and cherry.

Thanks to a wonderful weekend. Pictures posted on Flickr. Back to another crazy work week. Have a good one!

Hello Again...

It's been a while since my last post and this is mainly due to work keeping me busy. It's good being busy with work and knowing that I have some place to go almost every day. We just wrapped up this huge installation/migration over at LAX and now I'm glad to have my weekend back.

Today, I went over to Oxnard for work and boy was it a drive from Fullerton. It took about two and a half hours to get there because traffic was horrendous. Other than the traffic, it was a good day because work went by quickly. After work I was able to hang out with my buddy Romeo and check out where he worked at. It was a nice office and he looked all professional with his white coat on. I'm proud to see that he's in the working world now. Well now, it's time to get some rest because I'll need it for another day of driving around. Have a good work week everyone!
