Ooooh I haven't blogged in awhile... Looks like blogger has a new template when you blog... for those of you who don't know what I mean.. it's probably b/c you haven't try blogging... but in anycase... I love the blogger voyeurs anyway...
As far as music and what I listen to... I personally love top 20/hip hop/ dance music... I actually listen to 97.3, 92.3 (or is it 92.7), 94.9 and 106.1 I occasionally listen to but mainly I listen to my CD's. (wiht a 6 CD-disc changer, I dont' have to hassle changing my CD's.. currently in car
1) Kelly Clarkson
2) Janet Jackson
3) Christina Aguilera? (I can't remember this one)
4) One of my NOW Cd's
5) Michelle Branch ( I really like this new CD)
6) Beyonce (with the exception of a couple I find this very disappointing)
Anyway have been pretty busy as of late... most of my department has worked has gotten promoted so I'm techincally the longest analyst there now.. can you believe it... but in any case, I"m still hoping for that silver lining when I get promoted (if ever)...
Anyway I am still watching my reality TV shows... my favorites are:
1) Amazing Race (I knew the oldies had to go)
everyone else is pretty equal
2) Paradise Hotel.. I just love it b/c people are good-looking
3) America's Top Model
4) Surf Girls
My least favorites
1) For love or money (just seems really unappealing)
2) Last Comic Standing
3) American Juniors (for some reason I'm not interested in it w/o Mr Cowell)
So yeah my cable now has more channels.. so i've been watching the GAME SHOW network nonstop... can I just say I love WHAMMY and FRIEND OR FOE? anyone watch those??? crazy... also does anyone watch endurance??? (it's the kid version of survivor in teams)
Tidbits-
Regan - Sorry I didn't take you to a game yet... I really didin't think you like baseball... (isn't it too slow for ya? oh wait you're a golfer n/m)
Tiff B - I swear if you keep cleaning, you need to help me clean over here.. it' sgetting messier and messier.. ugh...
Ok I"m out. see y'all later!

The Music Issue
Sunday 6.29.03
11:01 PM
South City
Listening to: "The Young and the Hopeless" by Good Charlotte
Ok, so I guess this is gonna be the continuation of the South City show, starring Regan, Phil and yours truly. So until anyone else decides to blog, yall will just have to be guest stars.
When I'm not cleaning my room or fixing up the house, I'm watching a whole lot of music videos. I've recently rediscovered the one and only California Music Channel (man, I remember the days before cable and MTV entered my life and I had to rely on CMC for my daily music video fix). Plus I've got MTV, MTV2, VH1, and the all music video channels on digital cable. That's a whole lotta videos. As such, this blog shall be deemed the music issue.
2 Wishes and 2 Wonders: Temporarily wish that I was Britney Spears. Did anyone catch that VH1 special on her and the fabulous life she lives. Oh to be Britney with 50 million dollars at your disposal. Second wish: that I could dance like them dancers in Sean Paul's videos. Yo Dan, hook a girl up....Wondering if that Jason Mraz guy is supposed to be the new John Mayer...Also wondering if Blink 182 is gonna come out with another album soon. I miss their hijinks.
Beware: To all you music downloaders, the RIAA may be after you. So I'd stop sharing all my mp3 files if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry my ass got charged 10g's per song.
Top 5 Songs of the Week:
1) "Rock Wit U" by Ashanti...I'm still diggin this song
2) "Faint" by Linkin Park...that video still gets my heart pumpin every single time. I want to be a video director just so I can make brilliant videos like that.
3) "Feelin Freaky" by Nick Cannon and B2K...long live my love for cheesy teen pop
4) "Where's the Love" by Black Eyed Peas...more like "Ummm...So Where's Justin Timberlake" in their video, dammit. All good though because the song's sweet.
5) "The Young and the Restless" by Good Charlotte...normally I find this band obnoxiously annoying, but I'm feelin this song. But the video for "boys and girls" with all the old people is funnier.
Honorable mentions: "Last Song" by All-American Rejects and "Best of Me" by The Starting Line (cute ode to Say Anything video). As you can tell, I'm in a bit of a rock upswing in my music preference right now). Regan - there's nothing wrong with my music taste, it's just fine, thanks. Hip hop's on the backburner for the moment, but I'm always open to hear who's on your radar.
And finally, in the reject pool: that Joe Budden guy and Jewel's TRL wannabe song/video "Intuition."
So, what are you guys listening to?
Holla,

Where the party at?
WHERE THE PARTY AT?
Because its not here! Hello all, hope everyone is doing well. As a blog resident, I vote that we lift the ban off non-OG south city heads from posting. So besides myself, P-Diddy, and T-Bas, everyone else may now contribute. And they've even tweaked the BLOGGER a bit, giving us even more incentive to post! I've been sticking to the same recurring topics lately because...well, thats what I like! So I speak on it. I should just create a template within a template so I can already have a skeleton established yeah?
SPORTS...
1. Big props to J-Lu for bringing reegsta to his first giants game at pacbell (even though I technically brought us there)...if KK were a park, she'd be Pac Bell. Great environment and atmosphere, totally the opposite of how I remember Candlestick, and I could only imagine the energy and electricity (damn ulitilities!) of that place during the postseason.
2. The draft: I hate Jay Bilas. Who does he think he is? Simon Cowell? Anyways, thought the GSW drafted on talent and potential, though Pietrus may turn into a gem. With the Warriors luck however, don't count on it. I doubt 'Bron will have a better 1st year than Stoudemire.
3. Terrell Brandon went to the University of Oregon. So he is a Duck. And with that, Jeff is a Drunk.
VENTS...
1. There's some things you just don't skimp on. I freakin HATE imitation cotton swabs. Q-Tips all the way.
2. Heinz Ketchup is soooo much better than other ketchups out there.
3. I cringe when I see blatantly fake kicks on ppl.
4. I'm below pace for my workout schedule. For those that do, what motivates you?
MUSIX...
1. Spent a c-note at http://www.sandboxautomatic.com. I'm bound to find ish I'll like!
2. Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch and Talib Kweli anyone? July 11 I believe.
3. Dang Tiff B I thought you had better music taste haha.
KICKS...
1. There seems to be some NIKE animosity on this board, but I won't say names. Who's last name rhymes with Bam?? Ooops! Anyways, to appease those, Reeg bought 2 pairs of Converse. Good ol American shoes. (Well not really, it was just an excuse to buy them).
2. Tiff B has a cool cousin, an employee at Foot Locker Hillsdale. I got a pair of retro Jordans for $13.99. No Joke. Yes they are brand new. Retail for $125. Too bad they're not my size, so eBay here I come.
FLICKS...
1. CA2:FT tonight! But I still haven't seen the 1st one. I'm in a movie drought lately. But I did watch HAPPY GILMORE for the umteenth time last week.
2. Anyone subscribe to NetFlix?
3. Am I the only one who hasn't seen Office Space?
CHICKS...
1. Saw Josie Maran on Howard Stern. Whew.
MISCX...
1. Damn its hot.
2. Yes I still actively check Friendster.
3. Who works on Friday afternoons?
4. Did I mention its hot?
5. Why are Euro accents considered hot but Asian accents considered a turnoff?
6. July 4 anyone?
7. Anyone know a good mechanic? Preferably one whos not a rapist.
8. Bold fonts dont'work on this site. Literally.
Alright yall, have a good friday (like the religious holy day...haha!)
one love,
reeg

Fri/Sat 6.21.03
1:13 AM
South City
*For the week of June 14 - 21:
DISLIKE: The fact that an 18-year old KID can score a 90 million dollar endorsement deal.
LIKE: Real World Paris, for now.
LOVE: The new Linkin Park video for "Faint." Great direction, great images, great kick your ass song.
STILL LOVE: Justin Timberlake and his fine self.
REALLY LOVE: Hugh Grant. Liked him after "Bridget Jones' Diary," loved him in "About a Boy", but now I just plain love the bugger more after "Two Weeks Notice." Can't go wrong with an English accent and some charming humor.
HOT: Accents. Examples include RW Paris castmember Ace with that great Georgia drawl (which sounds more like a Texan, "ain't that right brother") and again, Hugh Grant.
Good night and have a marvelous weekend.

*Phil posts a quickie after watching a taped episode of "FAME"*
So some of you have asked me about when certain reality TV shows are on... so I decided to just do a rundown of when things are on (roughly).... I'll probably do a quick synopsis while I"m at it for those I'm interested in...
Road Rules: Pacific Rim? MTV 10pm Mondays
- Ok this show has gotten way too creepy.. I think the producers want them dead b/c they've already so far buried them alive and poisoned them.... seeing a pattern??? apparently there are two ppl going to get booted.. my vote goes for fat albert and uh.. I don't care about the 2nd one.. fat albert just gotta go...
For Love or Money NBC 9pm Mondays
- Ok this show is really sad.. 15 girls try to win a guy and basically if they are the girl he chooses they have the option of the million dollars or him... so anyway this guy makes joe millionaire look like a real catch.. this guy can't speak, finish sentence and makes no sense... He tells one girl.. "I didn't think you can be mesmorized" and then goes on to eliminate her... then he tells another one... "I haven't really talked to you or made a connection... but I think there's something there" and keeps her.. go figure... anyway next week seems to be exciting b/c it's down to 4 girls. and this time the tables are turned b/c he finds out about the million dollar scheme... oh well.. I have no favorites on this one.. the girls are all gold-diggers or just plain idiots..
Surf Girls MTV 1030pm Mondays
Ok I totally watch this show just b/c these girls are so catty... it's so funny.. they don't even show them really surfing and the whole point is to see who's the best surfer.. in any case... my favorites are pula and Jen and I could care less about Heidi, Jenna, and Vivienne... I just want to see hair-pulling or something....
America's Top Model - UPN 9pm Tuesdays
- OK I have to admit I started liking this show.. They actually do things that models (do like photo shoots, interviews, poses, commercials).. all the girls are really pretty... Tyra Banks is hot and is the host.... They're down to 5 girls, Elyse (the shit-talker anorexic- but probably the best model in the group), Keese (the tyra-banks look-a-like but is totally down to earth), Adrianne (the raspy talking, pretty cute girl, who loves her mom), Robyn (the black chick who is against homosexuality and puts religion and herself on a pedestal.. but she's just old and fat.. needs to go asap), Shannon (the blonde chick, who's also against homosexuality and a religious nut- needs to go... almost as much as Robin)
Real World- Paris MTV 10pm Tuesday
- Now I"m really only going to watch this show b/c it is in Paris... I don't find any of these characters as fascinating.. maybe I just need to watch it more to like it.. but they are just drama... anyway so far some girl bit a guy's but, and another girl lost her wallet a club b/c she was too drunk off her ass.... and some guy is girl-crazy but keeps getting rejected... maybe it's b/c he ain't cute... )....
Fame - NBC 8pm-10pm Wednesday
- OK this will suffice while American Idol 3 is in the works... I actually like this show b/c it actually does dancing and singing... so they have to be multi-talented (otherwise ppl like Carmen and Julia from American Idol 2 probably wouldn't have ever made it)..... anyway they have 12 ppl and are now cutting down to 10... .there are 3 asians people, 3 black ppl in the top 12.. which is a first.. I've never seen so many minorities in the final 12.... woohoo... my personal favorites are Monica (the black girl who can sing and dance), Christina (cuz she's filipina and you don't see many filipinos on TV, so savor it while it lasts), and Harlemm (the asian guy who is 36 but looks like he's 16).. Tune in next week to see who gets eliminated...
Paradise Hotel 9pm Fox Wednesday
-The only reason to watch this show - hot girls and guys... and they hook up... or at least that's what we think.... Otherwise if you ain't interested in looking at bodies.. change the channel..
and last but certainly not least
AMAZING RACE 8pm CBS Thursday
- This show is so awesome... cunning, wits, travelling, and elimination... all the stuff I love about reality TV... it's so suspenful and so pact with action you just can't miss a minute of this show...two people related to each some way (friends, married, significant others) compete and go all around the world for a chance at a million dollars.. so far 3 out of the 13 original teams have been eliminated.. It is definitely not too late to watch this show.. the fun has just begun.. currently they are in austria if anyone wanted to know..
honorable mentions
Last Comic Standing - NBC Tuesday 8pm???
- don't watch it... not interesting to me...
Boarding House - WB Wednesday 9pm
- same as above...
Ok that's my reality recap for the month.. tune in next month for more.. =) (or maybe even sooner)...
PHIL
p.s Regan I never knew you wanted to go to a giants game.. I will be contacting you later in the season...first thing =)
Tiff, I need you to wear that skirt from first day of class someday... then I can start really calling you spiffy tiffy....
Ok all where are the rest of you? are you reading but just too lazy to post??? ok.. I forgive ya!

South City
Listening to: "Magic Stick" by Lil Kim & 50 Cent
So I've decided to emerge out of the cave I call my room and get some fresh air and say hi to all those in bloggieland. How's life people? I was sad that I missed yet another get together, this time for Alan's birthday. I need to get my drink on with yall soon cause I sure miss those days.
I've found, in addition to the loads of crap in my room, that I must be the biggest, worst packrat in the world. You wouldn't believe the shit I've kept all these years. It makes me question my sanity when I find things like old programs from SI plays like Elephant Man and Biloxi Blues, lots and lots of Friday morning liturgy papers, backpacks from when I was in the 4th or 5th grade (complete with old pens, erasers, candy wrappers, and those plastic braided key chain things). I've also got all the books we've ever had to "read" for english class (yes I've also got the cliffs notes for most of those books), and then there's the pile of butt ugly clothes. Green jeans? Oh my god, why did I ever decide to wear green jeans!?!!
So if any of you ever feel like going down memory lane, stop by my house. Even though I've thrown out a whole lot of shit, I still kept the things that hold some good memories. Phil - I still got that spiffy skirt from the first day of school when we were wee little freshman. Anyone that took French - want one of my "liste de conversation" (aka, "hey, quick can i get your signature before 2nd period")?? Tiff, Ed, Michelle - you'll always have to be nice to me because I've got some great old school pictures of yall from our Holy Name days that I can scan and post at my disposal. :-) Which brings me to another idea, building on my garage sale idea - I think we should have a photo swap day. I've got tons and tons of doubles of all these old pictures that I always meant to give you guys. And I bet you guys have some too.
Anyway, the posters are still up for grabs to anyone interested. If not, I may sell or give them to Amoeba. So act now! Oh and have I been banned from an email list or something? Why have I heard nothing about the softball game?? I hear it's on July 12. Hey does that particular date, specifically in the year of 1979, happen to ring a bell to anyone? :-)
Surf girls, Real World, Road Rules, and the upcoming Boarding House are my reality TV picks as of late. Any other choice ones I've overlooked?
Back to the cave I go.

Tiff, Ed, Michelle - you'll always have to be nice to me because I've got some great old school pictures of yall from our Holy Name days that I can scan and post at my disposal. :-) Which brings me to another idea, building on my garage sale idea - I think we should have a photo swap day. I've got tons and tons of doubles of all these old pictures that I always meant to give you guys. And I bet you guys have some too.
Anyway, the posters are still up for grabs to anyone interested. If not, I may sell or give them to Amoeba. So act now! Oh and have I been banned from an email list or something? Why have I heard nothing about the softball game?? I hear it's on July 12. Hey does that particular date, specifically in the year of 1979, happen to ring a bell to anyone? :-)
Surf girls, Real World, Road Rules, and the upcoming Boarding House are my reality TV picks as of late. Any other choice ones I've overlooked?
Back to the cave I go.

what's crackn'
You know this our blog is over a year old? peep the archives...and its a somewhat flashback to the past year or so of happenings...

taft bas: anything else u find?
sylv: ur going to la?!? take me with u!
p-diddy: when we goin 2 a giants game?
nick/snup/jefe: when we golfing yall? and where are u?
FRIENDSTER...
Oh the SI alums...Stacey Lee i think LOST some weight, if that was possible...PJ is twice as big as he was freshman year...and Karla Gil is now Karla Bailey...thanks for everyone who left a testimonial also, I tried to reciprocate
B-DAYS...
Went to Alan's thing on Friday, but again, T-Lam left before I came...good turnout, kinda crowded, parking sucked, didn't stay too long...Big Al confirmed though that he's still planning a BBQ...2pac shares the same b-day as Dennis
SPORTS...
What's up with Tiger??? Ginobili is my favorite Euro...I won $10 since the Spurs won! Who will go #4?
MUSIC...
Saw the Black Eyed Peas this weekend, which was pretty cool...oh yeah, the Xtina/JT concert followed it, and that was pretty poppin' like champagne corks...blond xtina > black dye xtina, but thicker xtina > waif xtina, even if her boobs are fake
KICKS...
i really really want a pair of Heinekin inspired Nikes (no really, they do exist), but need to find them at retail b/c I refuse to pay the eBay prices (~$300)
FLICKS...
saw 2 movies that I really wanted to see but missed them for some reason....ZOOLANDER and JAY and SILENT BOB Strikes Back...I figure I pay for Platinum Cable, might as well take advantage...both are highly recommended
CHICKS...

PROPS...
Phil: religious cattle...good one! plus that email was funny also
T-Bas: for getting the closest to my shoe count (even if u were the only one)
Sylv: again for being the architect of this site

Hey All,
Phil posts another blogger... See so much activity this last couple days gives me so much more to write about..
Lamster - Hawaii seemed like a blast... did you go shopping at the ala moana mall?? did you go to the polynesian cultural center??? wasn't the weather hot there too?? If it was.. wouldnt you want to go to vegas.. maybe you can get a tan for once...Ariel sorta did...Can't wait to play softball.. I'm ready to make a game-saving catch again....
Ed- camping would be fun.. but going to a giants vs dodgers game would be better... so I'll have to pass for that weekend.
Sylv- I have no idea why we work 12+ hours at retaill.. .maybe b/c it's always changing and you really can't get bored with the atmosphere.. b/c it never stays the same... Oh and Amazing Race, I so need to go... you and ariel would have to fight to apply with me.. he's just as interested in applying too....
Reegsta- JT/Christina concert was PHAT.... like tiff said.. two for hte price of one.. I swear after Christina... I thought I was alreayd done.. and forgot that JT was still performing... did we mention that Black Eyed Peas perform as the opener.. yeah there's even an opener... sorry to hear that you lost in vegas.... guess it was b/c Phil fabulous wasn't with you....
Tiffany B - Can't wait to go the giants next weekend... it's going to be so exciting.. I'll just have to load you with all my knowledge about the giants. hahah. j/k... You were the Mcee at your cousin's graduation... wow.. tiff with a microphone... Did you sing and cha-cha as well??? Any cute 18 boys hitting on you???
Happy belated to Nick, Dennis, and happy future b-day to Alan... isn't there supposed to be something going on tmw night at the religious cattle???
Oh and friendster seems to be getting slower and slower.. it's insane.. it's crazy.. if you dont' want old classmates from grammar school finding you.. I suggest not signing up.... but if you sign up.. you gotta put a picture.. that's the coolest part =)

***back in the land of shoes****
wow....what blogtivity we've seen in the past 2 days! it's gettin wild up in here!
i'm glad you all like the trippy blog. it was the most interesting template i could find and at least we won't get bored with the look.
ca i tell you that work has been INSANE? christine, phil.....what is it about retail that makes you work 12 hour days?! good thing i love my shoes, or else i'd be pulling out my hair.
i'm going to a bday party @ Dragon Bar (North Beach) on Friday night and I can get girls in free before 11pm and guys in for $5...anyone wanna go? just email me and i'll put you on the list.
ED: i'd love to go camping but i'm gonna be loungin @ the Hollywood Standard Hotel (Leo and Cameron Diaz's Hotel) that weekend....maybe another weekend?
lamster: welcome back from kauai!! i LOVE that island...it's my favorito most def.....did you get to go kayaking in the ocean? or boogie boarding?
speaking of boogie boarding, i am a sorry loser who got sucked into watching "SURF GIRLS." i am so hooked it's pathetic. who's gonna win? personally, i like molly and even vivian b/c she's kind of a bitch who can get drunk the night before a competition and still do ok.....
PHILLY: we need to make our audition tape. we will SO get picked....it'll be so much fun!
FRIENDSTER = internet dweebs and former members of the asian greek system, filipino club and SF clubbing circuit. well, not exactly, but those are the people I have been running into on this thing. so weird, you don't see or talk to these people for eons and suddenly they are your friend? hmmmm,.......well, something seems to be working, b/c this site crashes so frequently it's almost impossible to actually find new friends.....still, check this site out: http://www.friendster.com
happy belated Nast! and happy early birthday DEN and AL....is anyone gonna have a par-tay?
Reegs: I went to Harputs on Sunday and didn't see *ish.....i saw the racks of shoes but no one pointed out the sale.....that's Harput's employees for you. we went to check out the track/lounge pants but they said the new collections are arriving next week....i think their decorating motif is perfect for your bedroom!!!
that's all for now.....i too like the lack of comments b/c now peeps have to post....IT'S ABOUT TIME!
ciao,
syl

ALOHA!!!!
Tiff is back!!! Tanned and ready to wear short skirts and bare back tank tops and whisper sweet Hawaiian nothings into your ear *wink *wink ... i mean *barf *barf. Kauai is an awesome and beautiful place!!! The locals are truly priveleged in that they get to wake up in paradise every single day. Lucky locos. And they get to eat yummy food. As to be expected, we ate a lot of good local food...loco moco, all different kinds of poki, shaved ice, and anything with mac nuts in it. We went horseback riding, hiking (almost died of exhaustion and heat), ATV, and hung out at the beach. The tour guides at ATV had to give a time out card because I peeled out twice, but they let me ride the last leg of the tour....nothing cooler than having a motor between your legs =)...friskay!!! All in all, Kauai rocks!!!
*reeg, funny you mentioned that you wanna play some sports during the summer. i sent all of you an email about our annual softball game, please check your emails and RESPOND. Softball in the summer, what could be better?
*thanks to you phil i've decided not to go to vegas in july. its just too damn hot for me...102 degrees? dang, you can bake cookies in that weather.
*WELCOME HOME, tiff. garage sale sounds like a great idea. we should make into a swap, where everyone can bring do-dads, knick-knacks, and clothes to exhange with eachother. been looking to swap some of my 2 ft pants for ed's 70 ft shorts.
*thanks sylv for the grooooooovy effects on the blogs. kinda trippy
alright, i need to work now. have a great day everyone!!!
princess vespa,

Q: I've been putting together a camping trip. Tentatively scheduled for the Friday, Sat. and Sun. the 20th. 21st. and 22nd. I tried emailing everyone but realized I have no one's email address. Everyone that is interested please e-mail me asap at mredpan@yahoo.com.
That will be all for now.

Sorry for the back to back blogs, but I just had to add this.
I'm cleaning out my room (boy do I have a whole lot of crap in my room) and I've got some stuff that's up for grabs to anyone interested. Hey here's a thought. We should all clean out our rooms and have a garage sale. Anyone up for it?
Anyway, need some posters to decorate a room? I've got the following:
-Rage Against the Machine poster (of the burning man from their cd cover)
-Lauryn Hill (poster size of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill cd cover)
-1998 Van Warped Tour poster
-No Doubt concert poster
-Autographed Save Ferris poster
-Green Day concert poster
-Bob Marley vintage concert poster
-Madonna Drowned World Tour concert poster
And randomly, I've also got this 2000 SF Giants Yearbook lying around that I don't want anymore. If any of these catches your eye, holla back.

The 650 (damn it's good to be home)
listening to: "Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)" by Ashanti
The website's a trip. Thought I was hallucinating when I first noticed the changing colors. Much props to our blogqueen Sylv.
To anyone who's even considering going to the Christina/Justin concert: GO!! I went with Phil and Christine and it was by far one of the best concerts I've ever been to. And that says a lot because I've been to quite a few and I'd even rate this concert higher than the *NSYNC concerts I've been to (gasp!). It's well worth the money because you get two concerts for the price of one. Like a buy one, get one free type of deal, much like Regan's shoe sale (by the way Reeg, my guess is 86 pairs). I've always felt that JC was the hottest in *NSYNC, but after getting Justified at that concert, he by far takes the cake. And damn, when he dances, he takes the whole damn bakery.
Home so far has been pure and utter chaos. My cousin just had her cotillion this past Saturday and I'm still recovering. My family and I were up all night last week prepping for it, and now I thank god that I decided not to have one of these when I turned 18. Way too much work. My brother and I had to emcee, so we were basically running the show. Overall, I'd say it went well (highlight of the evening was a specially made video of my cousins, who are all boys, doing a booty-shaking version of B2K's "Bump Bump Bump"). I'm just glad I can finally get some sleep.
I just woke up to blog all that. Now I'm going back to sleep.

MY FIRST ADDITION TO "A DAILY DOSE: v2"...
Again, I would like to echo PHIL's sentiments and express our gratitude to SYLVIA for updating, maintaining and designing this site here...good ish! It's the grooviest and raddest page on the Internet book. And no people you are not delusional as yours truly (and another lurker) initially thought, the colors indeed change. I just wanted to write a blog worthy of the new modifications...
Biggest online time-waster: Friendster...Sylv knows, and fyi: do not try to log in during work hours, traffic is like the 405 on a rainy friday afternoon (LA reference, but it never rains in southern california)
Milk Carton: Jeff (and how is AK not on your list of female athletes?)
vega$ aftermath: After the math, I am in the red...at least phil and them did better
hawaii 5.0: is Lamster and Nickster back yet?
xxxtina/JT (not the bigga figga): may go to their concert....how was it phil?
kicks: Harputs had the sale of the millenium this wknd, buy a pair of Nikes get a pair free. Shoe selection was decent, so I came out with 2 pairs (anyone care to guess how many kicks I have? a free pair of socks to the person who gets closest)
flicks: haven't caught one in awhile, but i hecka wanna watch OLD SCHOOL, available on DVD now
chicks: haha fooled you! (timeless SPACEBALLS quote)
home sweet home: welcome back tiff b.
hip sweet hop: summer is supposed to be the time of major releases, so I'm keeping the faith
pictures: for those who haven't seen the rest of the pics that grace our site at the moment: A Loud Whisper
sports: summer is here, so time to stop watching sports and time to start playing...and Reeg's never been to a SFG game before at PBP...hopefully that'll change in the summer of 2K3
nostaglia: Is Ted DiBiase still a millionaire? and forget the xBox, i want this: whoa
time warp
b-daze: happy belated NICK (060103)...then there's D-RUEL (061303) and AA (061603)
they reminisce over you: this week/month marks our 10 year 8th grade graduation anniversary... MISSION DOLORES TIGERS represent
Alright yall, that's enough for the evening...good nite
one love,
reeg
PS: maybe not having comments is good, for it may encourage people to rather post (just my 2 pesos)

****memo from the blogmaster****
after 2 days of html tweaking, i resorted to starting fresh w/ a new template. i think a piece of code may have been deleted accidentally in the old blogspot.
also, i feel the vivid gradation of color allows for a more pleasant blogging experience.
SO.....PLEASE be careful when fiddling w/ the code. html is like a row of dominos: it only takes one piece to knock everything down.
also: images from imagestation cannot be posted on the blog (some privacy issue). so, email me the pics instead or use shuttefly.com
sorry homies, i'm just exhausted. work's been insane and i've been html coding for the past 4 hours.
click on the monkey for some html tips.
peace out,
the blogmaster

*Phil sits after watching a taped episode of "FAME"
YAY! You can finally see more than 1 blog per page... I like the layout.. nice change... just all we need now is a pic!
Anywayz, since I haven't blogged in almost a week, I just had to share my vegas trip with Ariel, Michelle and Christine: Can I just say LUCKY? As far as what we did that weekend,
On friday, we ended up going to old town vegas where we got to eat lots of food at a buffet place and then went to GAMBLE... we saw an open crap table with no one there so we went up to them and asked them to teach us.... there we stayed for like 5 hours.. playing $2 craps... ooh so much fun.. and can I say Christine was the lucky lady... she rolled like over 20 times... and people started donating.. literally donating money to her and better on her behalf... talk about incentives and luck.. she was the lucky one that day...
On saturday, we shopped countless hours at Primm Valley going buckwild at all the outlets... (Christine was the big shopper with over 3 bags of clothes/accessories).... then we went on a casino/rollercoaster place nearby and that was so much fun... I rode on a wanna be drop zone all by myself (since none of the other 3 wanted to ride with me).... and then we rode the rollercoaster that emcompassed the casino.. talk about some scary ride.. it literally had a vertical drop that was one of the steepest I've ever ridden on... we also got free tickets to ride the rollercoaster at NY NY but we ran out of time....
On Saturday night, We also went to RA at Luxor... Now b/c the clubs' wall our made out of stone... the room was actually nice and cool (compated to the 102 degrees outside everyday)... the music was good except for one thing: THE DJ... he basically said something every 10 seconds and ruined our rhythm... it was hideous.. he'd go.. where my asian at? where are my la people? where are my san diego people? where are my arizona people??/ I was like when are you going to shut the F*cK up.... but anyway... it turned into trance which in turn got us a reason to leave... overall a good experience for me considering this was my first la club..
On Sunday, we went out to the pool and got tanned (well the other three tried to get tanned, I just got darker).... It was so hot, I stayed in the pool the whole time.. my fingers were literally prunes... later that day, we got massages/facials over at the Luxor Spa... First time again for me... it felt so good... I didn't realize how relaxing and refreshing it can be....
On sunday night, We also got to watch "O" at the bellagio... 2nd row center!! Now, they said the tickets were wet seats... little did we know that we'd get splashed on by the performers.. (not doused but just enough to be wet the entire night)....I must say O is one hella of a show.. this tops all other Cirque shows I've seen (varekai, dralion, and mystere). Everything is in water and they do some crazy diving stunt in that small stage.. it's simply breathtaking...
Monday was get out of bed and ready for home..after a very eventful weekend, I was about to checkout when the unexpected happen.. The hotel had comped 2 of the 3 nights!!! Instead of paying over 200 for the weekend we paid 60!!! Now w/ four people you do the math and you know what it equals: cheap!
Ok that's enough for me now.. I"m all vegased out...

YAY! You can finally see more than 1 blog per page... I like the layout.. nice change... just all we need now is a pic!
Anywayz, since I haven't blogged in almost a week, I just had to share my vegas trip with Ariel, Michelle and Christine: Can I just say LUCKY? As far as what we did that weekend,
On friday, we ended up going to old town vegas where we got to eat lots of food at a buffet place and then went to GAMBLE... we saw an open crap table with no one there so we went up to them and asked them to teach us.... there we stayed for like 5 hours.. playing $2 craps... ooh so much fun.. and can I say Christine was the lucky lady... she rolled like over 20 times... and people started donating.. literally donating money to her and better on her behalf... talk about incentives and luck.. she was the lucky one that day...
On saturday, we shopped countless hours at Primm Valley going buckwild at all the outlets... (Christine was the big shopper with over 3 bags of clothes/accessories).... then we went on a casino/rollercoaster place nearby and that was so much fun... I rode on a wanna be drop zone all by myself (since none of the other 3 wanted to ride with me).... and then we rode the rollercoaster that emcompassed the casino.. talk about some scary ride.. it literally had a vertical drop that was one of the steepest I've ever ridden on... we also got free tickets to ride the rollercoaster at NY NY but we ran out of time....

SOUTH CITY!
HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE HOME SWEET HOME.
Here I am, back from my six-year long vacation in Davis to rekindle old friendships and start new ones. How the hell are yall doing out there folks? I feel like I'm starting anew. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and my fat dog is snoring right behind me. Ahhh, there's just no place like home.
So whoever said that trying to move all your shit when you have a terrible hangover is easy is actually quite mistaken. After a long night of partying with some of my closest Davis pals on Friday night, I woke up the next morning at 6:30 AM wanting to trade my body in for a sober person's one. Just for the day. Just until the headache and nausea and tired off my ass feeling went away. My room was filled with crap, but none of that crap was in moving boxes just yet. My slacker ass barely packed a single thing and now I was paying the price. But was it all worth the night of heavy duty partying like there's no tomorrow? Hell yeah.
The future is uncertain, but my fingers are primed and ready to type the new adventures that are bound to come my way. I just hope those adventures come without the alcohol because I just don't know how much more my liver can endure.
Here's hoping to see all your fine asses soon,

P.S. What's with the one big picture (with only four members of the 3rd floor shown, by the way) taking up all the space, allowing only one blog to be seen per page?
