Hello 3rd floor bloggers!

This is the moment you've all been waiting for...MY DEBUT BLOG!!! Honestly, I tried to blog last Thursday, but the blogger site was down. Regan and Anup are my witnesses, right guys? Anyways, I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday blogs. I felt so special!!! It's so nice to be remembered on your birthday.


Also I'd like to thank everyone who came out to party with me on Saturday nite at Royale...I hope you all had a good time. I definitely did! I know I must've since I woke up the next morning still a bit drunk. :o) Sylv - that raspberry kamikaze shot was the best shot I've ever had!!!! Anup - that tokyo iced tea was the worst drink I've ever had!!! But hey, I have to admit that it got me pretty messed up and so I had a better time because of it. Guess I can't complain!! =) Oh, and special thanks to Val and Regan for coming out on their anniversary nite.


Okay, I might as well address the whole Hustler Club thing, since I'm sure everyone will be asking me about it after reading Phil's blog. First off, let me say that it was not worth the $20 each that we paid. Or rather, that Ant paid. (Thanks sweetie!) We all thought that it was going to be a more upscale place with possibly classier girls. Well, the interior was not impressive and the girls were definitely not impressive. No, I didn't get a lap dance or anything remotely close to one. And neither did anyone else. I swear! Although Ant and Alan saw a girl they went to high school with getting a lap dance by TWO dancers! So anyways, we didn't stay very long.


Well, this concludes my debut blog. I know it was short compared to what you all normally write, but now that I know how simple it is, I plan on blogging again. Thanks again everyone! Hope to see most of you at Sylv's 80's bash on Thursday. Oh, and early birthday shout-outs to Tiff and Sylv! Happy Birthday!!!!!
Quick Question: What are your definitions of "game"? Game as in spitting mad game and not game like monopoly, scrabble, connect four, etc.

I'm out....
Guess Who? (another board game)

*Phil returns from an eventful weekend with no sleep*

Hey all,

Great party Steph... Cafe Royale was great.... I got to see everyone again and got to drink and get drunk and watch Liz scream at some guy for spilling all over her... After which we parted while Steph, Ant, Ella Mae, and Lil' Alan went to Larry Flyn't Hustler CLub, How was that anyway Steph... Speaking of Steph, she mentioned that she actually read the blog and saw our POSTS!!! It's weird, it's like we have blogger voyeurs... just weird...

Sylvia, why in the world did you start talking about grocery stores??? I personally like Safeway better, it seems to have more things on sale that I like vs albertson's... though the only reason I go to albertson's is easier 1) to get starbucks 2) to get coupons for the dry cleaner that I go to...
Anyway yeah I like the safeway on Castro, vs nice pleasant, it's even a place to go "crusing"... also I will go to your party on thursday;however you better get my e-mail right next time you send out an evite

Nick, thanks again for coming with me to the baseball game... you're always a pleasure to sit next to at a game.. I feel like Kruk and Kuiper....next game we go to, is on you, right??? even if it's an A's game =) By the way, I'm still not feeling too good after that one burrito we had at West Portal..

Driving Illegal Girl a.k.a tiff b, so you started your first day of school... God, I don't think freshman even ride bikes in berkeley, I think they would be too afraid of being hit by a car... which would probably happen (when I was a freshman one of my dorm mates got hit by a car while riding a bike), Now abou the hair comment.. GET OVER IT... I said it once, and I won't say anymore.... sheesh a meesh ....

Christine, Thanks again for coming with me on saturday's game (nick went on sunday w/ me) I always seem to go with you to clinching games... what a sign.. we're magic... thanks again for the br stuff... do you know when br and gap take their markdowns??? what else are your plans for the week?

Lamster, always a pleasure to see ya... I'm still feeling stuffed... I'm feeling gross... ugh.. food coma.... Happy early b-day, (dont' worry I'm sure to call you on wednesday and officially greet ya)... you're the best.... when are you going to san diego? are you still going??/

Jefe, you're too funny... I told you you're outfit was great... Julie even said so... aren't u excited about survivor? who do u think is the ultimate survivor???

Reegsta... how come no posts lately? what's happening with you???

finally, my favorite radio station seems to be 92.7 now... I feel like when I'm driving I'm at a club.. it's great.. clubbing 24/7 ... =) and now for the QUESTION OF THE WEEK
What supermarket do you shop at and why???

see ya later

Hola mi amigos!

Today was my first day of school. Let's recap shall we...

*Too many god damn people everywhere. That's what I kept mumbling to myself as I weaved through the gazillions of people on campus. I always assume everyone around me is a freshman and just wait for someone to do something retarded. Then I snicker and think to myself, "dumb freshman."

*I'm gonna start a petition demanding that the university implement a rule which makes it mandatory for all freshman or new transfer students to take some sort of bike-riding training course, similar to driver's training (not that I would know what driver's training is like or anything) because these damn kids are outta control. Number of times I almost got ran over by a dumb freshman: 2. Number of oh-so-close bike accidents: 3. This madness needs to end.

*Today was my first day of Espanol Dos. My professor is ridiculously skinny and gorgeous. The girls sneered (being the catty bitches we are) and the boys smirked as they looked her up and down. This should be interesting. There was only one hot guy in the class who yes, looked like none other than Landon Donovan (don't they all these days. No but seriously, he really was a walking replica of him). But turns out he was in the wrong class and should have been in room 27, not 127. Must have been a dumb freshman.

*Am I sounding like an old hag or what?

*Today I had one of those great hair days where you feel like you're walking around in a Suave shampoo commercial. I love days like this. Note to Phil - I could still kill you for telling me my hair looks like hay. My only dignified, intellectual response to such a comment is..."Yo mama."

*Note to Jeff: You calling me a slut? What are you trying to say, I'm fat? The next MLS game I go to, I'll be sure to wear some AE daisy dukes, a low cut white top, and a turquoise and tan belly-chain type belt. Then I'll definitely live up to the title you've now bestowed upon me.

*Revs won 2-nil over the Fire today. Go Revs!

your MLS whore,

some where in that foggy city....

i have a new favorite place. it's a place where everyone DOESN'T know your name, but they have everything you woud ever want. and lots of it. it's always open. it's clean. it's new. AND.....it has parking!

it's SAFEWAY @ castro!

i'm hooked. i've been there 2 days in a row. i can't help it. everyone is very nice. not ghetto superstar or superficial like the webster st. and marina safeways.

i must be exhausted, guys. i'm talking about a GROCERY store for crying out loud.

HI EVERYONE!!!!

sounds like all has been well here in blogland. i have not been a faithful blogger, but i have been a dutiful reader of the 3FC blog.

nice job REEGS on the pics.....you're turning into a regular old HTML joe. LA LA land was fun....too bad you missed my performance prior to your arrival at 4800.....it's all gravy though...melrose was fun too, but too bad those darn sales girls are too aggressive. good times///good times.

STEFFIE: duder, you know i called you to say happy bday on your actual bday, since i rarely associate you on this thing. but yes, happy happy birthday. you're the best....even if you have a peanut bladder. no go and run that mile. i mean walk. i mean JOG.

PHILLY: i miss you!!! la was fun, but i wish i could have gone to ariel's festivities.....how's work going? what about them giants, huh? WE'RE GOING TO NYC!!!!

JEFE: hiya aggie. hey, i saw a halfie girl the other day and immediately thought of you. she was cute, too. hopefully, you can make it next thursday. i miss your live concert performances!

TAFT: awww...i wish you could make it to 1984. you of all people would rock the hardest to those tunes. it would be so much fun!!! alas, school is a priority. but if i find out that you're @ cantina...bad boa girl!

NAST: i think we should organize a battle of the bay world series tailgate party for the 3FC. mandatory attire: pink flamingo capes and inflatable sword and shield. what do you think?

ECP: have fun next week in the east. hey, what's up w/ you and always going to the east? far east...east coast.....are abnormally tall people always attracted to the east? are they like birds?

FREE ANUP! FREE ANUP!

MISS CHRISTINE: you better get in high impact shopping mode by 10/18! glad to hear that the city of sin was a blast...let's hang out!

LAMSTER; study study study! good job, you have so much discipline! can i take yu out for a champagne study break? or maybe nick and i can bring the study break to you -- in the form of a champagne bottle or a nice 7 mile hike! good luck hon!

did i forget anyone? ah well, i'm tired. adn ER is on right now and everyone has smallpox. freaky. and YES, RWLV is raunchier than ever....IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! and SURVIVOR: THAILAND: that dorky skater has to go. he's a loser. so is miss-i-can't-figure-out-a-stupid-puzzle. sheesh. some people!

my fave radio station (right now): 98.1...it's has all the old school KMEL dj's...renel, micheal erickson, etc. they play motown and soul....fun! 2nd runner up: 104.9: good alternative but can sometimes add to my road rage.

good night...sleep tight!

September 25, 2002 @ 10:15pm

One last birthday shout out to Stephanie....and all I can say is this: DA DA DA DADADA TERADA! Sorry Nick Tejada, I had to borrow your line...it was only fitting! Or I can say this: HIP HIP (HAPA) RAY! Since we all know that Steph is mixed and it allows me to use that line once again...it's like the third time I used that line...kinda sad:( Anyways, I hope you had a splenderiffic b-day! By the way you're just plain FRESH since your b-day is in September! Anyone whose b-day is in September is just plain FRESH, so that must include me! I hope you got great presents, but your presence on the blog would be even better and fully welcomed!

So Tomo and I went to the Giants game on Tues. nite....I got free tix so I had to go but I realized even more that my heart is with the youthful A's. I can't believe JT Snow hit a triple....let alone hit a ball out of the infield! Twice! His other hit was a single. We began sitting way above home plate which was a great seat but way too high, so we ended the game in the bleachers then out in right field above the scoreboard where i must say we were cool enough to get on the big screen above barry's homer count after barry launched one.
ED - I guess I might be a lucky charm (btw: when do I NOT possess charm? The ladies can't answer that!) The Giants record for this year when I attended Giants games: 3-0. If I didn't attend these games then they'd be tied with the Draft Dodgers, so you (and whoever else proclaims to be a giants fan) owe me one! Hey I have a poster of landon donovan and jeff agoos that we got from a game...you want it...i definitely don't!

Freak Mike Cameron (of the Mariners). He strikes out like 9 out of 10 times and when he doesn't he hits a homer to keep it honest. So what does he do tonight? He hits a freakin homer off Mecir (of the A's) to win the game! He's prolly the most overrated player in baseball....overrated in the sense that he's rated at all!

TAFT - How you gonna claim the Revolution as your new team and go against "your" Quakes? I didn't know you were like that....jump from one team to another...your like an MLS s**t (read: PLAYA)! If one team can't satisfy you, you go and find another! Just Kidding. Just Kidding! Ouch...i felt that! You just kicked that ball into my nuts. I think you busted-a-nut! Sorry!

PHIL - CONGRATS on passing your exam! You moving on up! Well, all I have to say is "Lite rock, less talk" in response to your question. Yup, you got it...KOIT 96.5 is my fave radio station. I literally BLAST that station more than the hip hop ones. Nothing beats singing along with Shania Twain and having ppl staring at you like what the "f". BTW: Kinda sad the BB3 ended tonight....Lisa def. deserved to win it, but i was amazed at the vote! Them houseguests did sure hold a grudge against Danielle. My new show: The Bachelor.

REEG - kinda funny you asked that question. Me and Tomo were hanging out and talking about old SI folks. He mentioned there's a bar (but forgot the name) in sf that SI ppl frequent...we should all hit it up. Then it lead me to think of SHARON LUK. Didn't know her that well , but i had the priveilege (and what a privilege it was) of having my locker right next to her...she was cool!

NICK - you have that song in your head because? Admit it....you sculpt at home and play that song just to reenact that seen from "Ghost". We should sculpt a gold glove so we can shoot that commercial cuz i have the jerseys ready. Better idea: we shoot that commercail and say "I can't field cuz I can't read braille!"

T-LAM - all i have to say is this: 1 week to go! I can't wait and I think I speak for most of the others! What you say can come back to bite yah. You know how it is. No short short to look forward to, but it might be a good thing!

That's my post...see you guys in 3 weeks
Jefe

Steph's Birthday
9:09 PM
Davis, Part 2

Quakes lose 2-1 to the Columbus Crew. If they lose again in Game 2 on Saturday in Columbus, they're out. Done. Finito. And with a 7-game losing streak on the road, things don't look good. Nothing more to say.

Go Revs,

Steph's Birthday

Happy Birthday Steph!!! Hope you get a chance to read all these lovely birthday messages and (fingers crossed) can post soon. We're anxiously awaiting for your first ever entry. Anyhoo, hope you have a tremendously fabulous day!!

Can't post long, in the middle of listening to the Earthquakes playoff game over an internet radio station. Boy the internet's great isn't it?

Be back post game,
~Taft
nick's notes....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!! maybe now that it's your b-day (and a all new coming of age type thing) u'll share and post something on here....i'd love to read a blog from u

ed - in exhibit A-2.04, u missed out on an important clause that mentions that this is actually my 3rd game this year at pac bell, but that i didn't actually buy any of the tickets of the games i've attended....and that i'm getting my tickets from someone else giving them away, just like your tickets, and just like another one of my friends attending the game today, and just like jefe's tickets for yesterday's game. so what's up w/everyone gettin' rid of their giants tickets - especially during the stretch run....no one ever gave up their A's tickets

ed - i have a couple of janet posters that since i've moved back into home w/my parents i haven't felt quite comfortable enough to put up, so i'd be happy to donate those

phil - much congrats on passing your exam, since u spent so many days in advance studying for it

magic # for the A's....they're already in - and i'm hoping for a bay bridge world series (b/c that would mean that the A's are world champions), and to any of u many giants fans in here - any of u interested in making a litl' wager to see who's team goes further in the playoffs?

favorite radio station - 610 am, that's the A's radio station, where one can listen to the voice of the A's bill king do play by play. plus they play a nice selection of oldies when the A's aren't on

reeg - i think that maybe u should put up a pic of lana lang (kristin kreuk) everytime u post

song which is currently stuck in my head - unchained melody, by the righteous brothers (from the movie ghost)

current dilemma i'm facing - do i trade shaun alexander from my fantasy team??

exhibit A-2.04 in the case between Giants v. As: nick newlin, a die-hard a's fan is attending the Giants game tonight. it will be his second game at Pac Bell this year.

I rest my case.

Happy birthday Steph......you should come visit my place sometime and check-out the pad. i have this cool roommate you might be interested in. i can hook you guys up. whaddaya think?

Request:....anyone with posters or artwork that they no longer have any need for may donate them to the Ant, Alex, and Ed Weightroom Fund for needy children. we're trying to spruce up our gym so any posters or art pieces will be a welcome addition to our currently posterless and artless walls. thanks.

speaking of birthdays.......isn't it convenient that tiff decides to have her birthday when i'm away on business. coincidence...i think not. i once again rest my case.

oh but don't worry....jefe has promised retribution for his birthday experience last week. i heard Payback sucks. you know the movie with mel gibson....yeah i heard payback really really sucks. like throwing up on the street corner kinda sucks. like running around in baseball tights and nutter shorts sucks. like 2 drinks and i'm wasted sucks. like almost being arrested by an off-duty security guard sucks.

well happy birthday tiff. oh and happy birthday to everyone else who decided to have their b-day in Oct., which is just about everyone reading this.

ECP
HAPPY B-DAY STEPH!!!!!
so what are you doing for your birthday? its kinda tough doing something on a wednesday but i'm sure you will do something eventful.

just wanted to shower you with best wishes on your special day!!!!

enjoy and don't drink too much! LOLOLOL
tiff
I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I passed my exam.. I am so relieved.... just had to share....

MAGIC NUMBER : 3
Yup, the giants have a real good chance in making the playoffs.... oooh even more of a possiblity of a bay bridge world series.. wouldn't that be crazy?????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH... WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY? do you even read this???

Ok, tha'ts all for now... don't forget to watch the finale of BIG BROTHER 3???

ALSO, did anyone catch on the new real world: las vegas... they already had a three some! wow outrageous stuff.....

for those of you who didn't know, the reegsta and his barbarians went to the city of sin this past wknd...and i tell you there is no city aptly nicknamed as this one =) hehehehehe (evil giggle - what J???)...it was pretty tight watching the RWLV premier and then goin to the same place just after...and I echo yick's statements a few blogs ago about the silicone, but i'm not one to argue ;-) ...lunch at caesar's was cool...we ate so much at like 3pm we didn't even get hungry for dinner...and u can't beat champagne brunches...bubbly is for classy drunks ya heard? as for other details of the trip...please visit the underground blog...we gotta keep this piece pg13ish...lets see if yall can figure that one out...

as for the television shows...i caught a minute of survivor...funny how that tommy lee wannabe brought a skateboard...yeah i concur, RWLV looks 2 be interesting...i mean, when are the broads go nude in the first show, how can it not be viewing pleasure? OMG, roughly 20 hrs til the season premier of SMALLVILLE (i know i spell premier wrong, but its in honor of my favorite DJ)...please do yourself a favor and peep this show...9pm on the WB

speaking of which...KRISTIN KREUK and TIGER WOODS share the same birthday...for those of you who don't know, that would be December 30...and it sucks liking a girl who has the exact name as your sister, even the spelling....so i simply refer to her as lana lang...or LL...like sixpence none the richer, there she goes:



Flashback of the week: seeing marc summers of double dare fame hosting that show on the food network

CD purchase of the week: there are some illmatic-level songs on this joint...peep it



Song of the week: Weezer - The Good Life click here to peep it…speaking of which, I’m making me white boy cd volume II…please help me with songs! I’ll make a custom hip-hop for you in exxxhange…

The Industrial City

I don’t want to go back to Davis. This past week back home was nice and relaxing. Not to mention full of comedy, thanks to Jeff, Nick, Tiff, Ed, et al. There’s never a dull moment when you have any combination of those people around.

Did you know….that chicken makes great bait for crabs?? I had no idea of this until I went fishing and crabbing with my family this weekend out in Pacifica. We went out to the pier on Saturday night and then again on Sunday, catching a whopping total of 25 crabs! Too bad we found out later that you’re not supposed to really be catching and keeping so many and if we got caught, it would have been a $540 fine. Per crab!! That’s….well I don’t feel like computing the total in my head, but that sure is a hell of a lot of money for some stinkin crabs.

Digital cable is fantastic. I recently discovered three great channels: 1) MTV Jams, which plays hip hop and r&b videos all day long. No VJ’s, no lame MTV shows. Just videos. 2) VHI Soul, which is basically the same as the MTV Jams channel and 3) Fox Sports World. Soccer from all around the world, all day long. Fantastic. The best old school video I caught last night: New Edition’s “Cool it Now.”

It’s official: My new favorite MLS team is now the New England Revolution. Go Revs! And I don't know if anyone recalls back during the World Cup how I kept saying the U.S.'s blue jerseys were bad luck, but I just came across an article by a writer at CNNSI.com who wrote: "Can we retire the U.S.'s blue jerseys now? It was a bad idea from the start to switch from red, the color worn by the Yanks' diehard fans, and the World Cup sealed it. U.S. record in white jerseys: 2-0-1. In blue jerseys: 0-2." Glad to know I wasn't the only one who caught on to the curse of the blue jersey. Sorry, just had to toss that in.

Phil: I did catch Real World: Las Vegas and it looks to be a good season this time around. Chicago sucked ass, but this one looks full of good drama. Re: QOTW: I don't have a favorite radio station, I listen to them all.

September and October sure are jam-packed with birthdays. Next up: Steph on the 25th. Then after that is Tiff Lam on the Oct 2nd (which I know many people are anxiously awaiting for). Then Sylv on the 3rd, Dan on the 17th, and Phil on the 18th! Man oh man, get those livers primed and ready folks. Be sure to give everyone a heads up if any of you are planning a little sumthin sumthin.

Peace out,
~Taft
