Of Fucking Course These Dudes Lived Next Door

Does that house look familiar to you? Is it the house on Clipper that had a space invader on the front stairs? The picture is from an NY Times article titled "When Skaters Grow Up."
It's occupants are:

Claire Bigbie, an interior designer and aesthetic omnivore, and her boyfriend, Jay Shapiro, 33, a skateboarder who is the bass player for Space Vacation, a heavy metal band

Which, you know, that's awesome for you. You guys got to build your dream house for a mere $500k in renovation costs. A renovation planned with an architect they met at Delfina (fucking kill me with the Mission lifestyle story right now). Meanwhile 3 doors down 7 adults (of varying ages..and definitions of the word) are sharing 2 bathrooms, sitting on a foof and poor Marc is in a closet for a bedroom.

Also, this picture generates so much rage inside of me I can't even form words. Their disinterested gaze and poses, their matching gray skinny jeans, all staged in front of their million dollar house...rage, rage, rage.

On CMA Dress Codes...

"Wait, is there some kind of country Kanye West that's going to come on stage? 'I'm sorry Taylor, but [that guy] has the best [cowboy] hat of the decade.'"

Also

"Look! Even the presenter has a [cowboy hat]!"

-M upon watching Taylor Swift's acceptance of the CMA Entertainer of the Year award, beating several gentlemen with fine cowboy hats.

since you've been gone

when vanessa and zhi and carmina and marc and i lived at clipper street, we fought tooth and nail to get a $40 check for some broken pint glasses when our cabinetry dislodged itself from the kitchen's cheap guatemalan drywall and crashed onto the floor in what can only be described as the most intensly horrifying domestic accident since the oj simpson murders. and now? the new motherfuckers get this:

this man appears to be painting the inside of a door whose function is containing the smelly garbage cans that formerly lived in the walkway between the outside and inside of our house. HOW FUCKING NOVEL.

If the clock kept running

On 11-Oct, 2009, the Almaden Pee Wee Mustangs played the West Bay Rams to a 20-6 mid-season loss.

It was a sloppy performance on our part; 5 turnovers, bad tackling, penalties. The first time I viewed the game film, I could not see how we lost. We were a better team than that performance. At the end of the game, I told the players, "Fellas, we did not lose this game. We didn't lose, we just ran out of time."

On 15-Nov, 2009, the clock keeps running. The Almaden Pee Wee Mustangs will play the West Bay Rams for the Peninsula Pop Warner Championship. The game will be 10AM PST, at Yerba Buena High School, San Jose, CA.

You don't often get second chances in life. What you do with them is up to you.

"One team, one heartbeat. One heartbeat, one team. Together, we can't lose. Together. We can't lose. Mustang Pride on three. One! Two! Three! ..."

Blubbery Mess

The Secret of Life

"Lower your expectations to nothing. You will enjoy anything that comes."


-le Marc, commenting on life...or at least bad movies.

more Carmina awesomeness!

"She's going to cry anyways, might as well put it in her butt."

"That's what girls with low self-esteem do, give up the butt."
