"To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven."

-Karen Sunde

Did you know: The rook in chess is named from an Arabic word rukh, meaning chariot. This reflects its ability to move quickly in straight lines, but not leap over obstacles. During the Middle Ages, when chariots were no longer in use, the rook was gradually modified to look more like the turret of a castle.

Thought of the day: Last post of the year. It's kinda fitting that it's something beautiful instead of some random pictures I found online. 2009 was an amazing year where I got the opportunity to see wonderful things all over the world and connect with new people and new friends. No regrets looking back and only lots of hope looking forward. Cheers to you all and I hope you find an incredible 2010.

Food for thought:

Turkey breast wrapped in bacon with a slice of both serrano and jalapeno peppers tucked inside. The turkey was baked until just cooked through then served with a corn salad. The salad consisted of roasted fresh white corn, sweet and tart granny smith apples, red onion, radishes, parsley, lemon juice, dijon, and olive oil.

What if you were on that one spot in the ocean?

This dude's thinking, "I have to get some tonight."

I spy Blacks Beach.

The Cove was packed too.

Barefoot family photos. Priceless.

Marine St. looked nice.

Two dudes and a sunset. HAHAHA!

Should have brought my wetsuit and board.

Postcard.

Wounded soldier.

Wind N Sea.

Sets upon sets by Big Rock.

We saw this spot and thought it was fitting for the day.

Beach, beer, football, perfect.

Mahi mahi sandwich was good. The chili avocado was even better.

This year is ending just perfect.

"I have two weapons - my legs, my arm and my brains."

-Michael Vick

Did you know: It was high surf advisory this Monday.

Thought of the day: There will be pictures of Vince and I's excursion son. We hit up 5 beaches to see the surf: Blacks, La Jolla Cove, Marine St., Wind N Sea, and Big Rock. Even though we didn't get to enjoy the bigger waves than usual it was rad just to see all of San Diego poppin off like that.

Until then, don't be like these people below in 2010 and get off your ass and live life mangs!

Food for thought:

Chicken breasts wrapped in prosciutto then seared and finished in the oven. The chicken was served on a bed of fluffy whipped sweet potatoes and roasted garic herbed creme fraiche.

This is partially 24 Hr Fitness' fault for putting this here.

I'm gonna give this one the benefit of the doubt that she has a bad leg or hip.

This is just downright shameful.

Is riding the cart the cause or the effect?

Geez painters, can't you have moved it 1 foot?

"It's not going to be peaches and gravy all the time."

-Brad Miller, Pacers Center

Did you know: Dennis Rodman sold his home in Newport Beach because he felt his neighbors partied too much.

Thought of the day: In accordance to the "quote of the day", who eats peaches and gravy!?! And in accordance to my "did you know", Rodman was the ultimate playboy and crazy media monger now he's complaining? 2012 must be around the corner.

Food for thought:

Mexican chorizo cornbread stuffing filled with sweet white corn kernels, roasted poblano & jalapeno peppers, cilantro and roasted garlic.

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz


Long story short, my family didn't celebrate Xmas yet and we'll be doing it on NYE. But my nieces did give me some new reading material. THANKS! I'm almost done w/ Have a Little Faith after 2 days!

I hooked my nieces up w/ some traditional toys, clothes, etc. for Xmas but I also drew them some sort of doodles I've been drawing since high school. I'm no artist or tagger by any means but their names are in there.

"If I ever saw myself saying I'm excited going to Cleveland, I'd punch myself in the face because I'm lying."

-Ichiro Suzuki on playing a game in Cleveland.

Did you know: A player on the English club Chorlton Villa received a yellow card for farting during an opponents penalty kick.

Thought of the day: I totally forgot about this night but thanks Jomo for being photographer for the night!

Food for thought:

Corned beef and sharp cheddar sandwiches on freshly-baked flaky croissants dressed with whole grain mustard, watercress and caramelized onions deglazed with balsamic and cider vinegar. Have mercy!

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz


So Super Sam, Alstar, Alvinism, The Prince, and Jomo ready to head out to celebrate.

You can still save till the end of the month.

Pacquiao ain't running from no one.

The ultimate tribute board.
