I’m posting this up just for funzies. Of course, I will be running the Pasadena Half-Marathon in February, but my buddy Duane has told me so much about this year’s LA Marathon course that I just had to check out myself. Pretty cool! Too bad I’ll be recovering from Pasadena. $125 Registration?! uh ya…maybe next year for sure.
For N-Y-C.
Wow! up to seven miles. That’s pretty incredible. Took the first part of the run with the Than brothers, Lenny, and other friends this morning. Finished the seven by myself. Felt great! Had some minor physical problems this week. Feet started to ache and the right knee was a little tight. Need to start icing my knees after a run and/or start taking some ibuprofen to cut down on the swelling. My throat is a bit sore with after the runs. I take it that’s because of the heavy breathing. Watched my diet a bit more, although the DBS Thanksgiving didn’t help much with all the food I ate. (I’m soooo stuffed!) Now I feel like running again. haha Need to start eating more fruits and veggies rather than all these meats with everything. Did some XT and core on Friday with my 3 mile run at the gym. Need to start doing more core everyday to work the abs. Angela said I was looking a bit thinner, losing some weight in the face; that’s a good sign. Looking to getting some new running shoes and socks; been saving since I started training. Close, but have about have about $100 to go. Other than that, week 4 and pretty excited to start!
Finals are in full swing and fuck, do I have my work cut out for me this term. I have an Agency presentation to take care of as well as the wall at Hillside to help arrange before super Thursday. Then, I have to work on AdCon3 and get that all shot before the finals are done. I’m pretty upset with that because I had the idea the first week and after all this time could’ve been shooting that SOB and getting it done. Now I gotta turn up the heat a little bit more than I wanted to to get that shit finished. I’m pretty overwhelmed and pretty frustrated. FML right now.

Another strange story to add to your Rolodex of useless information. Most times, the truth is funnier than fiction. Well, at least from what this youchoob told me. I haven’t checked the facts just yet. The infamous auto tune was invented in order to find oil. Then the gem was picked up by Cher and T-Pain and voila! The genesis of genius!
Saw this on http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com and had to repost.

I’m a sucker for all genres of music. Hip hop, Country, Slow Jams, Adult Contemporary, Movie Scores, Classical, Polka–you name it! But there is no replacement for hearing music performed live; simply better than any thing you’ll hear on headphones. Of course there are some bands that are really bad live, but that shouldn’t stop you from seeing them. The fun is just being there. Good or bad, here are just a few that give me goosebumps.
Ahhhhhhhh, Tamia. She still kills me.
They killed it. No really, they did.
Charice killed it. No really, she killed it. (You might have to follow the link though)
The Killers killed it. No really, they did.
Arctic Monkeys killed your dancing shoes. No really, D-E-D…Dead.
Silbermond killeinstein der Symphonie Orchester der LIVE vershenstein ack kaufman Germanie breckenstein güdden.
(Silbermond rocks!)
Ob course, the Pacman always kills it. ALWAYS.
On Friday I felt like giving this all up. How quickly that came! I thought I could get through this easy for the next 16 weeks or at least for the first six; I was wrong. I didn’t give up tho. I didn’t fail myself. I kept at it, and felt great after. It didn’t matter that what I was experiencing was actually a chemical reaction to the pain. If felt good. I’m beginning to wonder if working out and running and all the moments or accomplishments in life are just chemical reactions released from the brain. I wonder if anyone has the power to simply tap that reaction at any time?
Went on the 6 mile long run today at the Rose Bowl at about 10am. Didn’t stop. Kept moving. Felt terrific after! 6 miles is equivalent to a 10K, so I felt like I accomplished something significant in this long run. Resting for now. Went running without the headphones this week. I think I like it better.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT F#CKIN FIGHT!!!

For anyone that wants more information on the Advertising department at Art Center College of Design. Q+Ad. Informational session: Monday November 23rd 2009. 7-8:30 @ Art Center College of Design. 1700 Lida Street, Pasadena, CA
If billing isn’t clear enough for a kid to understand, then what’s the point, right? The good folks at Hastings Branch Library in Pasadena were rad enough to give me this board to work on. This one is currently in the works. I just hope I don’t mispell anything!
Today Alex Bogusky (Crispin, Porter, + Bogusky: Burger King, Mini) will be reviewing portfolios and work from Art Center on his radio show, and next week Lee Clow (TBWA/Chiat/Day: Apple, Nissan, Absolut Vodka) is coming to speak at the school. Unfortunately, I’m going to miss both of them! But I’m glad they made this video so when I do finally meet the both of them, I’ll know the surfer-looking homeless guy isn’t Bogusky. There’s more of this vid on Youchoob, but enjoy this part one post!
Isn’t it funny how one can find the darnedest things on youchoob? A classmate of mine is doing Lonely Planet for one of her clients. So I decided to look this up “cocaine” and guess what I found? That’s right! A video on how to make cocaine from Lonely Planet! Is this coincidence or what?! So here it is just in case, ya know, you get a hold of a kilo or two of coca leaves from the sticks of the Columbian rain forest. Hey you can never know too much, right?
Ahhh…research into today’s counter-culture. I have a social hypothesis that the hipster culture in the US is still outwardly “pop” as a direct result of the ALPHA MALES being off to war. Can someone make http://www.hipsterfights.com already?! Here are a couple of hipster youchoob parodies you simply must watch if you haven’t seen them already.
