Went to the game tonight and Tim Lincecum pitched a gem. The Dodgers got to him in the 8th, but it was too little too late. I was quiet throughout the game while my friends heckled me all night long. At Jeremiah hooked it up with some nachos wachos or whatever. Yooop! I love the San Francisco Bike Coalition, they always have volunteers checking in bikes, so we don’t have to worry about our bikes getting stolen.
Another disappointing season for the San Jose Sharks. What’s even more disappointing is that they actually scored early, wiping out Tied House’s .25 cent beer special. Tied House had specials for every Shark game in which you could get their house beer for only a quarter until someone scores. The idiot Sharks scored in the first period, and then got pummeled for yet another early playoff exit.
Hit up Fresh Tomatoes on Tuesday, and it’s nice to see them shifting over to some green energy to go along with their green vegetables.
I love things on the cheaps, but I love free things even more. Traders Joe’s had free passes to the San Jose Giants, so I snagged a good handful of tickets. The San Jose Municipal Stadium is literally just a mile away from downtown, so a group of us rode out and bike piled along the outside fence. Half price beers when the beer batter strikes out too.
Hit up Ed Levin Park in the Milpeeetat for some fun in the sun on detox Sundays. Reggie and JP cooked up a storm while Matt and I enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Hahaha. Watched the Sharks lose game two at the Blue Chip, which was quite depressing. So there will only be pictures from the park.
A group of about 10 of us made our way down from San Francisco to San Jose. We took the train up, only to find out that we got succc’ed twice on board. Matt had dookie on his shoe, and my hydration pouch was leaking all over my backpack. All good, because the Sharks were going to win later on that night right? Wrong.
One of the best vegetarian spots in downtown San Jose (or San Jose in general) is Tofoo Com Chay. When I am sick, or on chilly days, the Spicy Noodle soup seriously is da succccculent. Clears up your nasal passages like no other. It’s also easy on the stomach, so you can ride almost immediately afterward.
Five of us rode out to Dave and Buster’s to meet up with everyone for Tricia’s birthday. I love DnB’s because they have this game where you have to time yourself to get this moving light, and I hit the jackpot three times. Hahaha.
A few of us hit up China Palace afterward for some Chinese on the cheaps. Oh da succ.
It has been one year since I got rid of my car. I just want to say that it has been an incredible ride, literally. My original plans were to just go through the summer car-less, but that stretched out into the winter, and before you know it, April 2009. As of right now, I have no intention of owning a car anytime in the near future.
I have no regrets about getting rid of my car, although I will say that there are times that I wish I had one. I mean sometimes you just want to get somewhere super fast. But that is the price I have to pay for being without a car. When I go on long trips I usually carpool anyway, so I just chip in for food and gas monies.
At the time of my “car disposal,” I had a job where I was making ok money. When I got laid off, my no car policy really paid off. It allowed me to continue living my lifestyle without a hitch. The main thing I have to worry about every month is rent, and then a few other smaller bills. Imagine if I had a car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, etc. to worry about on top of that!
I should have donated my car to Mythbusters.
My uncle and aunt celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on Saturday, which was fun because I was the ring bearer that many years ago. Time seriously goes by fast.
After Easter service I went over to sloppy sunday’s at Lake Cunningham. It was da suc and da WAC (Worlds are Colliding) simultaneously. What lives we lead.
The stuff that goes on in my mind is so messed up that David Byrne makes perfect sense.
I just got back from my Anaheim we are in you trip last night, and it was all laffs to say the least. We had 18 people in 3 different hotel rooms, and we were able to score everything on the cheap. I think everyone went over their budget, but when its fun and with friends that’s all that matters.
Being back in LA just reminded me how much I love the Bay Area. It seemed no matter what day or time of day, traffic was always at a standstill. That is the ultimate suc.
Here is just 10% of the activities that we partook in:
Traffic...and more traffic.
In-n-Out feasts.
venice
beach
Riding down Melrose.
Eating like kings on the cheaps.

Another crazy week in the books. Wait, the week isn’t even over yet. SUCCCCC DOOOOO!
I might not post for a few days, since I will be heading down to Anaheim for the weekend for some intense chinchillin.
I was setting up some stuff for the new art show at Works today, and snapped this sickkkkkkk colossal piece of art titled “The Fallen Angel.”
