youre going to want to ride the express. trust me. funniest movie ive seen in a while. how can it not be with lines like this:
this is like if that blue oyster sh*t met that african kush I had –and they had a baby. and then meanwhile, that crazy northern light stuff i had and the super red espresso snowflake met and had a baby. and by some miracle, those two babies met, and f*cked–this would the sh*t that they birthed. its almost a shame to smoke it. its like killing a unicorn…with, like, a bomb.
it also has one awesome soundtrack. i could listen to this mia song - paper planes all day. well, at least twice in a row on my iphone
san diego was quite a trip. short and sweet, but jam packed with awesomeness. the brain is not working too well right now, so im going with a running list:
angry ninja shirts
big ups to everyone packing their angry ninja shirts for this trip. above are some of the shirts spotted during our time there. i even got complimented on some of them while riding the omni (great hotel btw) elevator:
woman: wispering to her friend: those shirts are so funny. teeheehee woman: excuse me, where did you get those shirts? me: oh these ol things? i designed them. woman: oh really? me: yeah, you can check them out at www.angryninja.com
pretty sweet feeling when complete strangers inadvertently compliment you on your work.
food
id say that 70% to 75% of the trip was spent either, going to a place to eat, eating at said place, and deciding what to eat next. i didnt get to capture all of the food consumption, so here are a few highlights.
whats that i see on the menu? ninja roll? what are you reading right now? angry ninja? so yeah, i ordered it. i mean, how could i not? it was like fate.
here is the roll itself. it was delicious. id order it every time if i could.
and as if regular meals werent enough, we also had desserts. not just any desserts mind you, but extraordinary desserts.
now, the menu might have called the above two cakes “lemon” and “strawberry short,” but i call them diabetes. my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
all in all, id say its pretty realistic that i gained a good 4 pounds in 4 days. might not be a personal record (youd have to have known me during my potato diet phase), but still not too shabby.
rock band
if we spent 70% - 75% of the time eating, we must have spent at least a good 20% of the time playing rock band. its a pretty fun game, and i got to sing a lot.
actually, im not sure if “sing” is the right word. why you ask? well this is one of the sings i “sang”
ate pinkberry. pretty tasty. not as good as red mango. why? lets count the reasons:
yogurt tastes faker (artificially sweetened)
original tart is not very tart
fruit (mango) is not as fresh/delicious
dont get me wrong, its pretty good. ill gladly eat it. its just no red mango. end of story. time to move on.
virgin america flights
this airline is awesome. especially if you hate flying like i do. what makes it so awesome? the entertainment system located on the back of every single headrest. here are a few things that i did on my relatively short flight (sorry for the blurry shots, i was taking these during the “please turn all of your electronic devices off” stage of the flight):
played doom - pew pew pew
arranged and listened to a personal playlist from their library of music - boom boom boom
watched espn - go fight win
video games, tv and music - three of this sites categories, all in one flight. awesome. only way it could have been more perfect is if had an on board t shirt making factory.
friends
so whats the lesson that we can all take away from this? yes, its fun to go places and take trips. its fun to hang out with friends and eat stuff/play video games with them. but its so much more awesomer if you actually go on trips with your friends and people you care about to eat stuff/play video games/hang out.
also, when youre booking flights back, its probably best to book an afternoon flight, especially if you have to be in at work at 7 in the morning the next day.
you can fill in the blank yourselves. “the bomb” and “explosive” both work. so does “blowin up!”
yes, this extended fourth of july weekend, i will be in sunny san diego - bbqing, beaching, carne asada-ing, and whatever-else-they-do-down-in-san diego-ing. its going to be awesome. apparently, there is a lot of food that i have to eat while im down there.
last head count, there were about 12 or so northern californians temporarily transplanting themselves down there for the weekend. any time that happens, adventures are bound to happen. also expect an inappropriate number of instances of the word “hella.”
my favorite character on the show is gob, a dim witted, womanizing, aspiring magician.. ahem illusionist. the theme song to his magic… ahem, illusion show is europe’s final countdown. his shows are always awesome, like in the clip below:
and here is the audio for his soundtrack:
consequently, that clip is now my newest ringtone. if youve never seen arrested development, get your ass over to hulu. they are streaming the entire series , in pretty decent quality too.
flobots are really starting to blow up. people love them. no handlebars (clip above) is getting some more love on the air, they had a nice set at bfd. things are looking on the up and up for the group.
one problem though. flobots t shirts. people are searching for them, looking for more designs. except that there arent that many available. angry ninja feels your pain and has redone the flobots no handlebars t shirt. overall, its got a cleaner, eye-catching design - a surefire conversation starter. just another way to get you noticed by that special gal/guy (who needs pick up lines?) and another way to spread the flobots love.
this upcoming weekend is going to be a busy, and hot it seems. got a bbq, a bon voyage party, and hopefully ill be able to catch a movie, either incredible hulk or get smart. stay up and stay safe people.
side note on the zazzle store.some of you may not know this, but i leave all of my shirts fully customizable on the store. this means that you can take one of my designs, put it on a mens/womens/kids shirt dark or light, and change all of the text. you can even choose the shirt material, 100% cotton, vintage shirt, heavy duty, etc. the shirts that i have predesigned on the webstore are just a simple guide to what the shirts could look like.
