I put it on for Suisun City


Representing Suisun City's historic "Water Front" district located in the heart of the city... peep: www.suisun.com

I love my City... Suisun City that is! I wasn't born here, but it's the place me and my wife chose to start a family. It's pleasant, quiet and I love calling it home. If anyones gonna put Suisun City on the map, it's gonna be me LOL! You always here Rappers throw up where their from... E-40's got Vallejo CA locked down. The Lox represent Yonkers, NY. Actors James Franco (Spider-Man) represents Palo Alto and Teri Hatcher reps Sunnyvale CA! I may not be anywhere close to any of these folks based on popularity but I'm gonna put my City on the map! It's only right to show where you reside some love.

Concept wise... you've seen it before via the Golden State Warriors with so many variations circulating the design. I had my eye on this idea for a very long time. I just didn't want to freak it with the same old bridge, I'm just barrowing the Suisun's Water front idea and adding some Golden State flavor on top! Shirts are gonna be limited, mostly for me and the 3 other people I'm good friends with here!

Not your average Monday!


The vacation continues: from drawing blood, strawberry waffles to The Warriors final home game... life is good!

Now I know what being on vacation means. Shoot, it's only been 3 days and it's been so chill. The first 2 days were very relaxing, a lot of Left 4 Dead game time on the xBox 360 on Saturday and it was all family on Easter Sunday. (sorry no pics) It's been about 2 weeks since my incident in the Emergency Room and I know I need to relax in life. Whats so different is rather than taking a few days off, I'm living my life to the fullest putting work second over my health and being with my wife... and it feels great! (I really need this!)

I'm used to working on Monday but this was so different for us. Rather than start the day off working, We got up and donated blood... had some Waffles and did a little shopping which was very nice. This is the 1st time in a long time Gemma and I actually had some time off together. Today was also the final home game at Oracle Arena for our beloved Golden State Warriors. Another great time out! For what it's worth, it was a busy monday, but I'm totally loving it!

Strictly for the Homeboys


Oh My Gawd! ...Now that's an Award Tour!

I've met a lot of good folks throughout my life I consider very good friends. Some I've known as far back as when we were like babies. These Homies taught me a lot of things about life, and if I was doing anything wrong, they never backed down and were always real with me. I guess you could say a piece of them made me who I am today. I consider these folks good friends who are practically brothers to me. (some actually are!) I know we're spread out all over the place now rather than kicking it like back in the days... thank goodness for facebook! for bringing us back together!

It's official... I'm on Vacation!


As requested by my job... I'm taking a mandatory week off from my day job at Maxim! (lol, now you know!)

I think this is the first time in a very long time my wife and I were both requested from our jobs to take time off... at the same time! We could really use the time out. What do we have planned? Relax. That's the number one answer. It's time to put the laptop down (very, very light work load) and spend time with my loving wife. Who knows, we may just keep it local, visit the state capital, do a little Cache Creek, hit up the city... oh and there's the last game of the season this Monday! What's most important... is spending our time together. Happy Easter in advance folks!

Damn... Our Season is coming to an end


With my long time friend Madison... since way back when, Kindergarten!

As of next week, we as Warrior fans... Our Season is coming to an end! I just started really getting into it these past 2 months! I don't know, I guess when we finally realized that The Dubz weren't going to make it to the Playoffs I started going to games with my wife and friends just to hang out. Whether it was a 5 game losing streak or Crawford dropping 30 and still losing... it was still a great time out! While many have called it a lost season, (especially to fans) I'm glad that the Oracle arena opened it's doors to it's fans and gave us a good fight night out. (there were only a few blowouts!) Big ups to my wife (and her hectic work schedule) and all my homies who made it out with me when I had an extra ticket or two and just have a great time! 28-50 doesn't sound so bad, making our wins to number 30 would be better!

In Nellie We Trust?


Mo' Money! Mo' Money! Mo' Money!... in Nellie we trust... or can't trust it?!

With a 28-49 record (3 more to the magic 30!) and a season lost, do ya' trust the man? I will say our Youth is looking real good (Anthony Randolph and Morrow anybody?) and todays win against the Kings and even the Hornets with 7 guys active in our roster is pretty exciting... Coach Nelson's still has some tricks up his sleeves.

Respect goes out to Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson who participated in his 3,364th NBA game as a player or coach, surpassing Lenny Wilkens’ league record.

Sorry Paul, not this year!


That was last year Paul... this year KG better be 100% for the playoffs yo!

Big up's to last years NBA Champs the Boston Celtics... they made some big trades and KG got his ring... that was last year. This year, it's a whole new ball game and The Celtics aren't looking too pretty. There's one thing in there way right now... LeBron. (oh, and the Cavs!) With the season winding down to it's final 2 weeks, this is gonna be a pretty exciting playoff run. Cavs and Lakers to the finals anybody?

Vallejo California's CC Sabathia


Vallejo, California... home of Bud's Burger, Tapioca Express, E-40... and CC Sabathia!

With the MLB's opening day closing in this week, I wanted to plug a shout out to Vallejo's very own C.C. Sabathia for making it big in New York... yea, he was so close to coming home to the Bay but with the Yankees fat check book, the Guy is gonna be sitting pretty on some serious green. Anyways, be on the lookout for my homie Nathan who will be representing this and a few more surprises at Yankee Stadium opening day. This is gonna be an exciting season!

Spend more time with your Family


Left: The Adults won't mind a little... Middle: Serving hot weiners Right: Niece painting eggs

Here's something new for me. Family, spend as much time as you can with them. Drop the beef or whatever drama you have with them and enjoy your life like you only have one. I'm not trying to worry anyone, last week I found myself in the Emergency Room getting a second chance at life. What's important is that I'm okay, and I did a lot of thinking these past few days... Many of you know what kind of work schedule I have. I work long hours at my day job as a Publisher and I put in a lot of time after hours doing freelance work. The stress finally just caught up and the sad picture that was being painted was that I was putting my job over my family.

This past weekend I was invited to my Aunts surprise party. Let it be known, when it comes to family party's, I'm usually late or so overworked on the weekend I don't show up at all and find myself making excuses. Not this time around... I actually showed up early, 2 hours early. I've been missing out! The good food is always in the beginning and folks who come early and leave 1st, I finally get to see. It's more than that though... I spent the time really getting to know my family, their background and how life is treating them as well in this rough economy. It made feel closer to all of them and not just the cousin that ALWAYS comes late.

To put it in mellow, Life shouldn't be treated like a deadline. Yea, you gotta make em, but when your plate is beyond full and you know you can't do it yourself, just do your best and put your family first over anything else.

More April Fool's... "The Suck" continues


The sad thing is, it's not an April Fools joke... we really do Suck!

It feels like we've been 25-49 forever. As of today it's been a 6 game losing streak but who's counting? Our team roster is depleted due to injuries, the Ref's are making bad calls, technical fouls are practically handed out in every game... the crowd is getting ugly at Oracle. Great way to end a season. Saying we "suck" beats folks to the punch line... its so true, so lets have a little fun with it. I've had may great time out's at the arena but a losing record isn't a pretty sight. No disrespect to the players and fans, this is truly a management issue... that and we need another big man!
