"Victory belongs to the most persevering."

-Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)

Did you know: The stunt double for Bernie in the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" suffered a few broken ribs while filming the movie, due to all the pitfalls and stunts of playing a dead man; most notably in the scene involving Bernie being dragged around the surface of the lake, bumping into metal floating obstacles.

Thought of the day: I thought all my eating and eating and eating would have stopped after New Years. By the end of this week I'll have eaten out way more than I would have liked but enjoyed every bite. Mwahahaha.

Food for thought:

Caramalized asian pear crepes w/ creme fraiche, macadamia nuts, and pomegranate, and chocolate sauce.

After the rainy week my truck turned into a new swimming pool.

Thank you friends for the Tajima gift cards. It's been too long since I've eaten here.

Looks like my Tajima once a week days are over and maybe even the once a month days too.

I've even stopped taking photos at AE and drawing them too. But thing is a constant.

It's still always dank. Plus, I still got extra money left on them gift cards so I'll be back soon!

"Walking is man's best medicine."

-Hippocrates (460 BC - 377 BC)

Did you know: If your mouth was completely dry, you would not be able to distinguish the taste of anything.

Thought of the day: I don't like living check to check. Daaayaaam!

Food for thought:

Twice-baked potatoes w/ caramelized onions, mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and rosemary. Wow, right when I thought baked potatoes couldn't get any better.

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

I see Allan everyday at work and now on the weekends too. But it's all good cuz we were at Tajima.

Why is Beef Tataki in Ponzu sauce sooooo good!?!

If you've never seen me eat Tajima ramen, here you go.

Not Adult Emporium but watch the video below to understand why we're all fob squatting. And of course, Laurel is the one who found it.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."

-Mark Twain

Did you know: Wolverine's height in the comics is supposed to be about 5'3". That's like me!

Thought of the day: Even though it was Mother's Day, I think my day might have topped my mom's! To start if off I ran, then at church w/ the fams, I sat behind the most beautiful girl. Peace be with you mama. Shoot, in my head I kept saying (in my best Uncle Jessie from Full House voice) "Have mercy".

Afterwards I took both parents to The Crab Hut where they loved it and I finally tried crawfish and I finally took an appreciation to mussels. Of course, a pound of shrimp (full house and medium spice) w/ corn and garlic bread will make any day complete. On top of it they gave me a 10% discount. Wink and smile. Works every time.

When I thought my day would wind down and I'd crash early Kimtan, Jojo, Fatch, George and I watched Ironman 2. The movie is dope. Of all the Marvel movies that have come out, the Ironman series is my favorite. And trust me, I'm a huge comic nerd (hundreds and hundreds of comics).

Completely paid off my trip to cancun and found out I have some extra money left over. What else could make a regular day better? Tomorrow is payday. Sweet. The sooner I sleep the sooner the money comes through.

Food for thought:

Shrimp scampi. Crab Hut has got me on a shrimp craze right now.

I'll put out that I'm going to Tajima and see who comes in. I've got some random groups of friends together in my life. Today I got Hannah, TK, Kimtan, and Gelly.

Some days, a beer is all you need.

But chicken karaage can't hurt!

Going to Tajima w/out ramen is like going to Paris w/out seeing the Eiffel Tower.

If you don't know, I close off all my senses except for taste when I eat the Tajima ramen egg.

I miss my old neighbor Gelly.

Flashing lights. BTW, this was the first day w/ my new camera.

I'm rethinking my AE pictures cuz I'm lazy. This may have to do from now on.

"Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned."

-Gautama Buddha

Did you know: The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.

Thought of the day: Another great find in the world of quotes. I think I like quotes that use metaphors because it helps a simple person like me grasp what things mean.

Food for thought:

Lobster claw meat with oven-dried baby heirloom tomatoes in a rich prosecco butter sauce on a bed of creamy rosemary, garlic and chevre yellow corn grits

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

I somehow forgot to post my first trip to Tajima in 2010. I really should just get a job there.

"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece."

-John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)

Did you know: The Nobel Peace Prize medal depicts three naked men with their hands on each other's shoulders.

Thought of the day: Cleaning out my closet sucks. Being a quazi pack rat and a neat freak does not work. I mean as much as I love simplicity, I keep a bunch of stuff that makes me laugh, smile, keep me busy, or is just plain weird. Bah!!!

Food for thought:

Oreo Cupcake With Built In Milk Cup.

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

I bet you can tell where I ate! Karaage!!!

Beef Tataki, ponzu, garlic chips, some white stuff, and sprouts makes for delicious.

Small regular ramen, miso flavor, thin cut noodles, and two extra eggs please.

Afterwards it was off to Yogurtworld to complete the meal. Honey Dew favor was dope! So is the Asian Peach, try it!

The colors in this picture are awesome. But Kimtan's expression...PRICELESS!

The finest hole in the wall in town.

It was Verna's first time! Welcome to AE!

Back home w/ the parents...sheeesh.

"We are the makers of music and the dreamers of dreams."

-Willy Wonka

Did you know: A funny bone is not a bone - it is the spot where the ulnar nerve touches the humerus.

Thought of the day: Video games have temporarily stopped my life. BRB.

Food for thought: Plenty below.

-Alvinism of the Wildboyz

This video has one of the sickest hammers. Oh and Aaron Cano rides for Willys Workshop...from Hawaii. Aloha my friend.

You know wassup. Karaage and garlic mayo.

I asked for 3 eggs and they gave me 5! They love me. They really love me!!!

Kimtan's a regular w/ me and its a first w/ Jomo. Finally man! Hahaha.

What's wrong Gelly? Hungry and gotta poop at the same time?

Frees came straight from 24 hr. Fitness after taking taking 3 classes! You're a machine!

Ermot and Richard doing his ghost impression.

Drop down and get your eagle on boy.

Afterwards it was off to Yogurtworld for dessert.

Oh BTW. Willy, Shalihe, and Baby Alvinism aka Junior ate w/ us too.

Just thought this was pretty clever.

"A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog."

-Jack London (1876 - 1916)

Did you know: There are more germs in the human mouth than in the anus.

Thought of the day: I tried to go to a different beach Mon-Fri this Spring Break but missed Thursday cuz I went fishing. But I was at a lake so I was by water so it counts. Plus you're not supposed to surf right after rain. Imagine all the loogies, bacteria, and germs that wash into the storm drain and into the ocean. Yeah...no thanks

But in 5 days I managed to go to 6 beaches: 20th Street, Cherry Hill, 15th Street, Tourmaline, Pacific Beach, and Wind and Sea. Mission accomplished.

*Hey Martiza, next time I'm up there we're going to the beach BUT!!!!!....The next time you're down you have to hit me up so we can get that Tajima! Plus I live in your old house! Mwahaha!!!

Food for thought:

Turkey and Sun-dried Tomato Bread Pudding

JR managed to catch a fish almost smaller than his own bait!

I was a honorary member of Cheryl's family on Thursday. I went fishing w/ Cheryl, her mom, sister, brother, and two cousins.

We got the first catch of the day. I don't post pictures of kids that I don't have permission to post.

Timmy Tim stopped by since he lives down the street. Maybe if you focused your chakra...

Second biggest catch of the day.

Wide mouth bass. Gross.

We had to be extra careful w/ kiddos on the dam.

Here's the biggest catch of the day chillin on a stringer. I caught it!

Here's another one of mine and...

...his little brother.

Cheryl aka Ellen is locked up.

Nice catch.

The dam can be beautiful and very dangerous.

Have you ever seen green rocks?

Later that night we met up at Cheers in PQ for a little predrinkng.

Off to U31 for 80s and 90s night but we ended up at The Office. Dyryl and Rich w/ plenty of drinks.

High fives shared between friends; George and Cheryl

We're gonna miss you Jojo!!! Its funny how the camera strap perfectly framed the picture.

It was house night! So get your dancing shoes on!

Where did you go Jo?

Headless...

I spy Rich peeing.

And got you too Vincent-San!

This is the last picture taken by my camera before I smashed it. So I'll have to draw the Adult Emporium picture...again!
Since I broke my camera at Tajima I have to draw our Adult Emporium pic again. Dyryl, Rich, Kimtan, George, Vince, Alvinism, and Chris. (Check the details: Rich's glasses & Goat T, Kimtan's ears, George's ponytail, Vince's mustache, Chris' hair...it would have been too easy to get on the gap man!!!)

So much is going on right now!!!
