long time.

been a while since my last post.

not much happened.

lotsa chillin. that's it.

i worked on saturday. so payday is coming soon. =)

sunday was fathers day. happy fathers day.

rearranged my room. i'll post photos later. i like it. feels like my owm little shoe store. my room feels more welcoming.







anyway. watching 'he got game' starring denzel washington and ray allen of the boston celtics (who then was just graduating from UConn and headed to the milwaukee bucks). cleaning my room at the same time. hanging shirts up. gonna put my shoes where they belong and organize some stuff.


TM is hosting master classes again. gonna train and take all the advanced classes. that's $10 a week gone. but it'll be worth it. care to join me?



















lakers in 7.

my girlfriend is a pussycat doll.

i'll elaborate later...

yesterday, thursday the 12th, i went to the live taping of 'so you think you can dance.' pretty cool. went there in support of rayven and twitch. pussycat dolls performed. i stood on the balcony next to stephanie v and she yelled out 'this nigga is single!' and pointed at me. well...she didnt really say it like that. but still. it caught the attention of one pcd and she mouthed something to the extent of 'youre my boyfriend.' then i mouthed 'me? yeah?'. then she mouthed it again. then i mouthed 'yes.' and that's that. hahaha. i believe her name is jessica.

anywhoo...

went back to wesco got there at approx 745. went to wendy's. listened to the laker game on the radio. then disappointment happens. lakers blow a 24pt lead.

went to watch 'the incredible hulk' at midnight with phillip and claudia. pretty kick ass movie. the avengers are coming together!


















lakers in 7. dammit.

feels so good.

lakers made it a series tonight. =)
boston leads series, 2-1.


on the down side...
it is impossible to buy an iPhone with out signing on with at&t for 2years at the time of purchase. "wigity-wigity-wigity-wack!" as my homies, kriss kross would say. so my iPhone plan is a bust...













lakers in 6.=)

timing is of the essence.

apple introduced the 3g iPhone today.

it looks pretty freaking sweet. everything about it seems magical.

so now to connect my blog title with the blog:

my birthday is in a month (july 9th, if a) you're an ass and dont know or b) you cant do the math) and the iPhone gets released in a month and 2days. if my calculations are correct, i should be able to purchase it on release. SWEEEEET. however, i wont have AT&T as my service provider til october. peace out t-mobile (heck yes! sorry sk3. you've did me well). that means i'll have an iPhone with no service for a few months. but it's all good. i'll use it as an iPod and use the apps to play games. and seeing that it's WiFi capable...imma bust WiFi anytime possible...probably when i'm at home and not in my room. but still..pretty sweet.
















game 3. my house.

down?

nah.


but the lakers are.

fcuk! lakers in 6. but a game 7 would be epic. i just hate that WHEN they win it, it's gonna be in boston. so to make it more dramatic...let's take it to 7.


anyways. let's be honest, me and phillip never stated the drill team and all male montage til saturday. and today, sunday, was banquet. after a total of 3hrs of total sleep between friday and sunday, we were done. but we were 3 hours late to banquet, but whatever. it's done. i'm done. i'm free.





i got a final at 7AM. then another at 1030AM. ehh...not ready really. but it means summer is here for me.






ahh yes.

summer.
sum-mer.
two syllables that sound like sweet sweet music to my ears.




















my sunburn from the tournament is killing me.

basketball jones.

i gotta basketball jones. i got a basketball jones, ooo baby ooo ooooo. oo oo ooo.

- barry white & chris tucker (space jam ost)

so i played ball today at theTOURNAMENT hosted by common groud. the squad ended up being me, julianne, kevin, and sedine. we did real well. smalles and youngest team out there. repped wesco for sure. some pretty spectacular plays. defensive stops. beautiful jump shots. it was such a dope day to play ball (minus the wind). we went 2-2. it's all good. we did well for our age and size. too lazy to get into detail.

sunburn.

in-n-out.

home.

pretty happy with today. i love basketball.

maybe gonna watch 'you dont mess with the zohan' tonight.



thanks to julianne for driving.















kevin was pooped.

























yeah, abdc? yeah?

a little quickie.

yknow? like the ones your mom likes before work.




anyways.

thursday, june 5
school. nap. mall with jackie. i bought the kb24 shirt/jersey. and paid for her kg5 shirt/jersey because that's what best friends do. and she has to get me a dope birthday present. hometown buffet. free, of course. laker game at kevin's. lakers lose. dang. it's all good. maybe my first prediction was right. lakers in 6. but i'm going for 5 because it'll be sweet if they won at home. after. wingstop. ball. sleep.

saturday, june 6
assembly at the high school. brought over music (which was not needed...whack). wendy's. home. basketball/workout. chill. stuff. not much.






BASKETBALL=PEACE AND LOVE.
for me, at least...when i was shooting around in my backyard, i came to the realization that basketball is my greatest escape. i had the iPod on, both earbuds in my ears, drowning out all the nonsense out in the world. and for that one hour and a half, i was completely at peace. i sometimes wonder what wouldve happened if i never started dancing (or if i left all male after my sophomore year like i was planning to). coach told me i couldve been one of the best in the san gabriel valley. but i chose a life of dancing instead. makes me second guess my choice sometimes. anyways...basketball is the only thing i am comfortable with "showing off' (dont know how else to put it). i'm not mad about freestyling in front of people i dont know, but put a basketball in my hand and i'll go apeshit.





gonna go play in common ground's 3-on-3 tournament today. the squad is me, kevin, and julianne. cedric was suppose to be our sub. but he said he's probably gonna have to pull out due to a conflict of interest with his mother. but it's all good. we can handle playing second of everygame. i wouldnt have it any other way. i hate sitting out. so yeah. looking forward to play, especially with other dancers. it's always fun to see dancers outside the dance world.















gonna play like tony parker. floaters. jump shots. dimes. =)

you down?

wanna be on my team?

hooky.

happy 20th anniversary to the parentals. =)

anyway...

i played a little hooky today. i chose not to go to school. i had to finish choreo for my gig that would happen later. (teaching at some school where they are attempting to start an all male squad.) did that. did other stuff. whatever.

a little before noon, i call richelle because she said she was gonna buy me wendy's today and that we would eat at noon to 1230ish. my phone call wakes her up. she said she was getting up and that she'll call me back.

she never did.

called her around 1 o'clock to see if lunch was still on. and it's on like donkey kong (but less intense). she drops her car off. i drive us to wendy's. then we invite phillip, who just got on his lunch break, to join us. richelle pays for me. i asked for a 5 piece, jr bacon cheeseburger, and a value drink. i pay for richelle. she asked for 2 5 pieces and a value drink. seeing that each of our items were 99cents each and that we both ordered the same quantity, it totally negates her paying for me. but she does later on buy me another 5 piece. during paying, they asked if i would donate a dollar to the dave thomas foundation. i say 'sure' and sign my name humongous for everyone to see (as shown on the photo above and to the right). some friendly conversation goes on. and food eating, of course. phillip is the only person i know who doesnt order from the value meal at wendy's. what is that? anyway...

time to go to segerstrom high school in santa ana, ca.

pick up kevin. and off we go to santa ana to teach a potential all male squad. good thing i took kevin or else i wouldve been stuck in traffic. we get there. it's kinda awkward. these kids have never been exposed to choreography. taught them a little bit of 'can we chill.' really simple. i wish we wouldve gotten to the groove section. i love that part. makes me happy. but yeah. after, we had an open session. kevin said i look like i know what i'm doing when i krump, house, and bboy. but really...i just fake it. but i guess i fake like a pro.

after...

jane, the dance coach, takes me and kevin out to rubio's. some friendly conversation. talking about dance. she doesnt know the dance community me and kevin know, so that lead to a lot of convo. plus talked about our all male careers. then she says she's paying the both of us. sweeeeet. except for the fact that it was my choreo and kevin just assisted. but it's all good. kevin's my nigga. and it just means he's gonna get me a dope birthday gift next month.

back to wesco.

spirit spectacular.

home.

procastination.

sleep?

maybe.



















GAME 1: los angeles lakers @ boston celtics. 6PM PST on abc.
viewing party at my house. =)

nyc pigeon to wc pigeon.

i never realized how much the color way of the nike sb dunk nyc pigeons matched with an actual pigeon til today.


nike sb dunk nyc pigeon.














dead pigeon outside wc baskin-robbins.

































GAME 1 is thursday, at 6PM PST on abc.

my bad.

i forgot the finals schedule goes 2-3-2 as opposed to the 2-2-1-1-1 format for all games leading up to the finals.

that means the games are played like this...

1. in boston
2. in boston
3. in los angeles
4. in los angeles
5. in los angeles
6. in boston
7. in boston

with that...








lakers in 5.
but let's shoot for 4. =)
gotta win it at home. =)

the line-up.

i've been wanting this. finally bought it. size L. but it's made for tall ass ball players. so i gotta shrink it. =(

(cleaner view)

(i know...bynum isnt in the line-up technically. but he's gonna be beastin' it in the 2008-09 season for sure. lamar will drop to the 3 spot, and he'll be way more comfortable there. it's gonna be magical. radmonavic, vujacic, farmar, walton, and turiaf for co-sixth man of the year in 08-09.)

as i said...
LAKERS in 6. (but let's shoot for a sweep)

- ron burgundy

off to san diego i went with cedric, jackie, vinh, phillip, jamie, andrew, and marnin. i was in cedric's car with jackie and vinh. we had the longest stop at the view point place. talked to some squirrels ala prince edward talking to pip the chipmunk. some sick ass "bboy" poses. hahah.
