LED Keychain Flashlight Thingy

Today at work they handed out key-chain LED flights with the company name on it. It was good timing too because my old one was so old you can barely see the light (if you look really carefully in the picture you can see it). Yay Treyarch4Life yo!

Free Chicken Sandwiches

I got some bungee cords from Amazon to tie down my tennis ball hopper because I leave it in the trunk of my car. Along with the bungee cords, Amazon sent a "Cell Phones for Soldiers" bag, and... coupons for free chicken sandwiches at McDonald's! WOO!


Here's the ball hopper with the bungee cords. There weren't really any places to tie it down with. I don't think it's going to work very well. :(

Federal Tax Refund

Whew... I've been neglecting this blog thing. Well it was a New Year's resolution so I guess it's only right that I don't keep it. Heehee!

So my federal tax refund came today. I had no idea what I was going to get, since I don't file my own taxes for various reasons... but it was much more than I thought I was going to get. Time to spend it on hookers and blow!

But wait... on the envelope it tells me to invest wisely... so no hookers I guess.

Undefeated 4-0

Back in January I joined Sat's USTA tennis team to play mixed doubles. This was my first time playing in a USTA league. We played in the 7.0 division. We won all 4 of our matches without even losing a set. The matches were no challenge but it was fun to go undefeated.


Our final match was last Saturday, and we wore matching outfits. How cheesy!

I was on American Gladiators

Last December Shiz, Sat, Dennis and I went to a taping of American Gladiators at Sony Studios nearby. This past week they showed the episode we were in the taping for, and I saw myself! After the blue contender kisses his parents, the camera pans up and there's me!




Ok so you can barely see me... but it's me I swear!

Free Shirt

I won a free shirt in my Wednesday night tennis class. Woohoo! Well I didn't really win it, the guy who won it didn't want to be a walking advertisement, so since I was in 2nd place I got the shirt. I have no problems being a walking advertisement. It says www.SantaMonicaTennis.com on the front and the back.

Australian Open 2008

This year's Australian Open was particularly bad because I don't like either of the winners. On the women's side Maria Sharapova won. I'm really not a fan of her at all. She's hugely popular to the mainstream, but most tennis fans don't like her. She plays an ugly power game and screams like she's giving birth every time she hits the ball. She's 20 but seems to have the mind of a 10 year old girl who's scared that daddy won't love her if she doesn't win. Last year when she lost in the finals, her dad didn't even stay for the ceremony. This year when she defeated Justine Henin in the quarters her dad made a "slit the throat" sign. Ugh. On the men's side Novak Djokovic won. He gives incredibly cocky interviews and likes to take his shirt off and walk around shirtless when he wins a match. But I guess he's 20 so if he was in college he'd be a frat boy, walking around the frat house with his shirt off hoping the girls will look.

Oh well, since she won, here's a picture of Shrap from my cheapy Tennis Warehouse calendar. Happy January!

Culver City Meat Co.

This truck is often seen around West LA and Culver City.


You can't beat their meat!

Donut Day

On Wednesdays they buy donuts for the whole team. I love donuts.


But I don't eat any because I'm trying to be healthy. Fight on Dave!

Spider-Man Nohohon

Someone at work went on a trip to Thailand and bought my office mate this thing as a souvenir.



It's a totally unlicensed Spider-Man solar thingy. Those two little guys look freaky!
