My brothers group of guys custom made their costumes, and out did everyone this Halloween. I thought they pulled it off so well. They chose to go to a techno / rock event called "spook fest" At one point in the night Raiden, god of lightning, and Subzero, Ninja who commands Ice, fought in the middle of the dance floor as people made a circle, imagine Techno music and with a lightshow, as it went down...

Enjoy!

Fall breakfast!

Fall is a great time of year, especially because I love everything pumpkin.

Below you can find toasted organic bread, almond butter spread, and a swirl of pumpkin butter on top for a sweet flavor of fall.

All three of these items can be found at Trader Joe's.

Carlson Art Glass

Donald Carlson was my neighbor growing up. Every mothers day he would give us the neighborhood special, and the fact was we were 7. As it turns out he has been successful for over fifty years, with galleries selling his work in many city's around the world. Enjoy.

In 1967 donald carlson embarked on a career that would turn his life around. Prior to working towards refining the ancient art of glassblowing, he had contemplated pursuing the field of marketing. Instead, he built a small studio at his home and took on the challenge of making glass. While his work is available in a multitude of colors, it is the color red that has captured his imagination.

With an obvious feel for shape, donald has produced simple eloquent pieces that stand alone in their beauty. His red best demonstrates the artistic and technical control expected of the carlson tradition.

All colors of glass, with the exception of red are easily made. To secure the desired color, all one has to do is add the appropriate amount of chemicals. But with red, one has to add the correct amount of chemicals in addition to working with numerous variables. These variables are hard to measure, let alone control. If they aren't always in total control, the color is not consistent. It is these technical problems that give donald the challenge he enjoys with making red glass.

Night Time run

I just Finished my second seven mile run this week, and got to catch a sunset. The hardest thing for me is to create a routine. Once I get one, there is no breaking it! Remember staying semi fit threw fall / winter means less you have to drop in spring. :)

This should be considered Genocide. Save the Swiss!

Above: Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi addresses the U.N. General Assembly in New York City on Sept. 23, 2009

A few weeks ago, Gaddafi submitted a proposal to the U.N. to abolish Switzerland and divide it up along linguistic lines, giving parts of the country to Germany, France and Italy.

Although the motion was thrown out because it violates the U.N. Charter, which states that no member country can threaten the existence of another, some Swiss leaders are still concerned that Libya could use its yearlong presidency of the U.N. General Assembly, which began on Sept. 15, to keep up Gaddafi's vitriolic attacks on their country.

Gaddafi's animosity toward Switzerland may seem bizarre — or maybe not, given the Libyan leader's all-female bodyguard squad and penchant for pitching Bedouin tents during state visits to other countries. Relations between Libya and Switzerland soured in July 2008, when Gaddafi's son Hannibal and his wife were arrested by police in Geneva for allegedly beating their two servants at a local hotel. Gaddafi was so enraged by his son's two-day detention that he immediately retaliated by shutting down local subsidiaries of Swiss companies Nestlé and ABB in Libya, arresting two Swiss businessmen for supposed visa irregularities, canceling most commercial flights between the two countries and withdrawing about $5 billion from his Swiss bank accounts.

Then came Gaddafi's suggestion that Switzerland be carved up like a wheel of Swiss cheese. During the G-8 summit in Italy in July, Gaddafi said Switzerland "is a world mafia and not a state," adding that the Italian-speaking part of the country should be returned to Italy, the German-speaking part to Germany and the French-speaking part to France. In an attempt to defuse the tension between the countries as well as to win the release of the two Swiss nationals being held in Libya, Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz traveled to Tripoli in August to apologize for Hannibal's arrest. The move was highly criticized in Switzerland, with repeated calls for his resignation.

Most everyone agrees on one point: Libya should not be casting stones. "Is the U.N. going to listen to a long-standing democracy or to a long-standing dictatorship?" Eduard Hediger, 19, asked in a recent Le Matin podcast. If Gaddafi's long-winded speech to the General Assembly is any indication, the U.N. may not have much of a choice in the matter.

Forever Brod

Skyline Alumni Match.

Missing a Tivo

So, My life got recently simplified, and some would say downgraded. But, I have been couping and trying new things. I want to give you all the only thing that saved my routine sunday nights, when I recently lost HBO. This website has all of the major episodes on all channels about a hour after they air west coast time. Last night I watched "I love you man" and laughed with my head phones in. Interesting I know...

Do you really want to live forever?

This song makes me feel as if everything is pure, while also painting a picture of happieness drizzeled with sorrow. This is my new motivational theme song. Jay Z's Album as a whole is great. Another hit, is "run this town tonight Ft. Rhianna and Kanye West.

Hova is the wealthiest in his catagory and still puts out songs that matter. If there would ever be a new king, (NO not you Kanye) Jay-Z would be my nominee.

The most hated person in BB history!

3 Comments »

I found this article on the web.

Why is Natalie the most irritating contestant on Big Brother 11… or perhaps in Big Brother history? Granted, she suffers from comparison to one of the most-loved BB contestants, Jeff, for whom she cast a deciding exit-vote last night.

But what makes Natalie worse than most previousBig Brother “villains”? (I mean, just take a look at the Comments in my Big Brother blog item andJosh Wolk’s TV Watch.)

Well, to start, for someone who’s lasted this long in the game, she’s got no — zero — sense of humor (a specialty in seasons past of, say, Dr. Will or Evel Dick). And in a game where back-stabbing and -dooring is part of strategy, she’s taken a ridiculous, even absurdist moral high ground, justifying her survival and (few) victories as salutes to fallen allies such as the ego-addled Jessie and the grumpy martyr Chima. To run around last night, as Natalie did after winning a foolish HOH competition that was just a lousy guessing-game and crowing triumphantly, “I did it by sticking to my word!” was kinda infuriating. Her “word” (a) had nothing to do with her win and (b) meant nothing anyway, since she’d broken her word to Jeff and others repeatedly.

Natalie does nothing that’s entertainingly bad/malicious/diabolical. Her vaunted taekwondo skills haven’t helped her stage any exciting competition victories. She can’t even come up with a mean trick like Season Two’s Shannon, who scrubbed a toilet with another player’s toothbrush. Natalie’s version of that would be to scrub a toilet with her own toothbrush and then run around the house yelling, “Yes! This is for you, Jessie!”

In the final weeks of any Big Brother, you need house guests who’ll question their own motives, strategy, and articulate in the diary room the disparity between the image they’re putting out to fool their housemates and the reality of their wicked schemes. Natalie has shown us none of this. Jordan has taken on the mantle of Dumb Contestant this season, but actually, Natalie is a lot more unintelligent in the way she has no self-awareness, no strategy. She just piggybacks onto any player who’s doing well. When Jessie was on a hot streak? She’d go with him. Now Kevin is HOH and articulate about his plans with her? She’ll claim her fealty to Kevin.

It’s this lack of conviction even in her alliances — combined with, as my colleague Dalton Ross has pointed out, her endlessly irritating voice, a kind of monotone-whine of self-righteousness — that doesn’t put Natalie in a Hall of Fame or Shame, but which just renders her an annoyance without any sting.

Kinda like the dragonfly she was terrified of recently.

Do you agree? Disagree? What is it about Natalie that you find annoying? Or would you rather see her win? Tell me, please.

UFC 102

UFC 102 was a great group of fights! I hate when I am searching for the fight video's and all you can find are the results. Not here! Here is the link to the main event, and the rest of the fights. Enjoy!

http://mmahits.com/fight-video/mma-video/ufc-102-randy-couture-vs-antonio-rodrigo-nogueira-fight-video/

This weekend, I had the pleasure of helping host a event for last Saturday, that combined three huge groups. The first was my brother's birthday, next a friends Bachelorette party, and last but never least the usual crew.

I had a great time, and wanted to throw out a thanks to Rouge, for hooking up a table with bottle service.

Instead of bouncing around to multiple parties, have every one roll to the same club.

Discovery Bay

Discovery Bay is located on the delta, and very close to Brentwood CA. It is truly amazing that a place like this, exists in the bay area. This has to be one of the highlights of my summer. Kido's go to the 2 Nicks for providing the Malibu Sun Setter as means of passage.

Power quote

Giving up is the easiest thing in the world to do, but holding it together when everyone wouldnt blame you for falling apart is true strength.

Doesn't it seem

Doesn't it seem every-time you think your safe and things will change for the better, you have to take one last hit.

Hang in there, I feel a upswing... Grab hold.

Surfs up Brody

Brody goes surfing. Enjoy!

David Guetta

Internationl Under-Ground DJ

Dosen't just stick to the Beat

In fact after collaborating with Chris Willis in "Love is Gone", David Guetta found a way to merge the pop and underground techno world.

Undeniably the straw that broke the industry's back was David and Kelly's "Love Takes Over". This song stole radio time on pop 100 stations, and finally opened the door for his beloved house/techno to bring the spot light above ground. With a little help from Guetta, Kelly was finally able to knock Beyonce back down on her knee's.
