The Future...

Watched them two little monsters playin Soccer today.. Man they Grow so fast. Ty- Boogie, he owns the midfield. Kid can run all day and he got a nice handle on the ball. This kid enjoys every aspect of life, you can just tell everyone loves this kid. Kids be offering him their chips, drinks, girlfriends ... he gona be a straight up pimp... a nice one tho, coz his momma taught him so.





Then we have Shay Slayer .. Kid is in his first season of little league soccer...4 year olds and stuff. Kids can barely walk straight at that age, Shayden runs with the ball at his feet as if he came out of the womb with it. Has a killer left foot. Ask the keeper who he scored 9 goals on in his first game. Damn crazy...

Happy Birthday Jimski...

Yo the 23rd of May celebrated the birthday of my boy James Rubin aka Reveal, aka Jimmy Hats, aka I love Asian girls hahahahah no no ... just the ones that like him... Happy Birthday bro...

I haven't known Jim all my life, I don't know his middle name, I know that it starts with G tho. His mom never invited me over for dinner and I don't know his favourite colour, although i have a strong feeling that its yellow ... (fever) hahaha

Despite this, Jim is one of the very few who i would give my left testicle to if times called for it.

Jim has seemed to always walked the same path as me. Even tho our paths are separated by a body of water, we always seem to be headed in the same direction. It's comforting to know that when you're kinda lost, you're at least going to be lost with someone who you trust.

Because I work so far away from my friends and Family, when you meet them again and they're genuinely happy to see you despite all the things happening in their life while you were gone, you honestly begin to understand what friendship means.

When friends like this go thru hardships, you would sacrifice your place in heaven to see them overcome their obstacles. When they triumph like a racehorse on 100/1 odds you can't believe you're lucky enough to have friends as talented as these.

I'm lucky enough to have a friend like this.

his name is Peter... i dunno what jim had to do with this.

hahahaha... happy birthday jim you sick C*nt.. you know you my boy...


Open your Eyes Jim.



Open Your Eyes Dumb C*nt


Nice one homie...

what ?? 28 is done already ??

So thats one more year to add to the other 28. I have my health and my hair. I'm happy.

This year passed so quickly. I'm sitting here trying to think of the achievements of my 28th year and what my 29th year should try and focus on achieving.

The year passed has been a quiet learning lesson I think. The year previous to that was pretty crazy. I moved to a new country to start a crazy ass job and everything i experienced felt larger than life. I was in awe of what I observed by being a cabin crew and by being both a tourist and a traveller. My 28th year however proved to be a time where i could take my time to learn and grow. I had time to learn from the past and make better decisions now that i had a little more experience under my belt. I strengthened relationships with new and old friends. I made good with my moms. After so many years of disappointing her I think i finally managed to make her see that I can take care of her when she needs it. I feel alot more balanced and I feel I'm at a point where i can take the next step forward. yeah.. forward to 30... the new 20's hahahaha.

I managed to travel to see nes in SF. I love nes with all my heart. Apart from my sister peggy, Nes is the closest family i have. I watched her in her environment and I realised that not much really changed with her. People still gravitate towards her, she's one of those people you always want to be around. It taught me that no matter where i go in the world, I hope to be seen the same no matter where i am. Just a good person.

I saw Jogja with Felski. Even tho im not Buddhist or Hindu, I still felt a spiritual connection to that place. Theres something about that place that stired me.

I made some dope new friends. Bian, fellmas ex. Who would of thought? from opposite ends of the table to kickin it like we boys from way back in grade school. Bian is a real cat, not because he's shown it in any prticular way, but because you can just sense when someone is sincere. I'll admit, that when I feel threatened by someone, I label them and judge them because of that fear. i was wrong about everything I thought about B. My bad...Bian taught me not to be so judgemental.. he schooled me bad.

Wing, Daisuke, Beefy, Adam, Gabz... yo you guys are family to me. I have a liking of surrounding myself with talented people. I like to see people with talent do their thing and it amazes me when they do something that i couldn't ever imagine being able to do myself. I experienced NYC with these cats and Jim (yo and max ----> big ups for gettin to Reed Space son) but more importantly I met some really amazing people in those guys.

This year was a hard one for my mom. I gota give a big shout out to my sis who moved her whole life over to Sydney to be with my moms so i could stay abroad. I'll never be able to repay my debt to you sis. I felt like this was my chance to show my mom i was capable of being dependable. I enjoy the opportunity to now turn the tables and take care of my mom like she took care of my nappy rash ass for so long, even when i dissed her. Moms are always right man, shieet... my mom taught me everything...even when i didn't want to listen.

I feel that the older i get, the fussier i become. Small details become so much more important, and the quality of something or someone is much more obvious to me than when i was younger. I finally feel like the man in me is begining to emerge. Even if i want to stay a kid forever.

My Boy warren got married ... My boy oscar got engaged. its starting to dawn on me that i need to think about this kinda stuff too soon.. as in properly. the Clock is tickin...

My family here in Dubai, Yuri Adrian Miho Miyuki Mazz... they had some additions .. Steve ma moved in from sydney.. And Desi my adopted little sister from Brisbane... i run a tight crew.. we run this shit in dubai yo... hahahaha

Oh yeah I bought my car .. My beloved Vdub GTI.. I love you baby boo.. damn i love my car.

shiet.. im gona end this here coz i know im gettin corny...

peace out 28.. 29 you better be muthafuckin good to me...

damn..

I know its been ages since ive updated... firstly, merry xmas happy new year... im prayin for blessings for everyone...

theres lots happenin .. so much so i haven't been able to keep up with recording it all... i gota make more of an effort.

But yeah .. i'll be back within the next few days to put things down...

til then .. peace

Travis barker . singapore style

i just had to post this... 1min 11 seconds in he comes up with a comment worth its weight in gold... "this is rock and roll"

Travis Barker

Im not really a fan of his band, but this dude is a dope drummer. I don't like the song he chose for this track, but the way he layed over the drums and the extra bass line actually makes this song half listenable.



see what you think...

fresh talent

You know, sites like youtube and myspace have done alot for aspiring artists trying to get their music heard. one of my favourite things to do is to flick thru pages and pages of new music. Honestly I don't know how I could go back to scouring and scraping for new music like we had to pre internet days.

It's amazing how much talent you come across with all that they have to share. So it continues to baffle me as to why the music industry is diluted with so much waste and no talent gimmicks.

I got pointed out to this kid by fellma. From the bay area still only 20ish, sings with a whole lota soul. I guess you can argue that it's all about marketability. Sure this kid has an amazing voice and you could listen to him all day, but when push comes to shove will he bring in revenue? Probably not. I guess amazing voices you can find pretty much everywhere (unless you talkin Brian Mcknight or Lauryn Hill at her peak) but that certain uniqueness that sells you as a completely packaged product rathter than a musically gifted artist is obviously so rare.

The internet is a double edged sword. Obviously the ability to now share your music with billions of people at the click of your mouse is the biggest advantage. However with the decline of cd and record sales, the emphasis is now how well you can entertain your fans thru the various tours and live appearances. It's hard to perform a solid 90 minute set and have your audience captivated from minute 1 thru to 90 if you're not doin some circus shit out on stage now days. Audiences expect nuthin less than a 90 minute orgasm from the get go.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to artists like the kid im about to show you.. I'm extatic that i can finally experience that rush of finding new music almost daily, but you gota wonder where music can lead you if you're trying to make a career of it these days...

enjoy.
