Throwback Pic - A Late Night in the Dominican
Back in July 2005, when I was doing volunteer work down in the Dominican Republic. I don't even know when this pic was taken, and who took this. I did noticed with the picture that I had my sweatshirt backwards. I also did grow out my beard from the whole time I was there, which was for almost a month.

Backstreet Boys - All I Have To Give
Old school, when I was a freshmen (backin 98), I was bumping this song, and even brought the single cd when I used to buy CDs in the day. As much as I used to make fun of them for their "boy band" persona, I did like some of their music.

Throwback Pic - UW Graduation 06 Night
This was the night where we were celebating people that were graduating from UW back in 2006. I was one of them, but there were a bunch of parties that were goin on. After a long long day, we met up at Melissa's crib to prefunk, and we intended to party the night away together, but got separated to other parties that night. All in all the night was good, and it was a good day indeed.

Throwback Pic - Random Club Shot
I dont even know when and where this picture was taken. Something in 04 or 05 and probably at Element at the time, now known as Level 5 (The club across the street from EMP and all that).
This was one of those club pictures that are taken by the photographer folks walkin around the clubs. This one is funny cause Jumper (dude on the right) asked each other if we knew who the girl in the middle was... and neither of us know who she is. I guess it just one of those random drunken moments, and I had to be pretty buzzed to make a face like that too.

Throwback Pic - Lacoste Boys
I want to say around 2004. I'm actually calling Tim who is right next to me as this picture is being taken. I believe he called me a "homo" or something along those lines cause of being a idiot calling him up. I think this was when we got back from Canada, but unable to confirm that at this time, although who really cares at this point.

My Life As I See It - Drunken Nights Part One
This was inspired by from various conversations with a few different friends about gettin drunk and "wasted". Then my friends will recall a notorious moment involving myself. After looking through my photo albums and my journals I wrote over the years of my experiences of gettin "FUCKED UP", I put together a list of some of the more infamous evenings where I had a bit much alcohol consumed causing a night that I don't remember, and realizing that I have some wonderful, and also crazy friends. For each event, there is a story as I can recall it to the best of my knowledge, and also the details that my friends filled me in out what I had no idea even happened. This set is what I like to call the "Honorable Mentions". I'm sure there are more stories out there, but this is just ones I can remember, but dont quite make the Top 10 list, yeah its been at least that many "fucked up" nights.
Honorable Mentions One:
March 14 2006 - Not sure about the exact date, but it was after I finished winter quarter during my senior year at the University of Washington. Tony and I been stressing about school, and decided we needed to have a celebration when the quarter was over, and done with our finals. Out of my three classes, I had only one final to deal with during finals week as my other two classes I wrote papers for, which was are final project, so no test was needed during finals week. I took my final early in the morning, and waited at home while Tony was handling his business.
In the afternoon (3 or 4 pm), Tony came over to my crib and we started to celebate by drinking some Hennessy XO [yump that good stuff]. We try to gather more kids, but only Susan (aka Braids) came through and drunk with us as well. By the time she came over though, pretty much the whole bottle was almost gone.
We tried to go watch a JV basketball game at Sammamish HS cause Tony's cousin was on that team, but couldn't get in cause they were already selling tickets for the varsity game later that evening. We came back to my house to chill, but Tony and Susan left after a little bit since the drinking during the day made us very sleepy. I went to bed around 9pm, and slept for the rest of the night. This was probably one of the best nights of sleep that I had in my life, and one of the longest ones too.
Honorable Mentions Two:
February 23, 2008 - This was a good night as I got to meet up with a whole lot of friends on this evening. This event took place at the WarRoom for Fat Pete's (we call him that since there like 5 other kid named Peter, so we have to add something to know who's who) birthday celebration. My friends decided to call it "Counterfittin Takeover 2.0" (we'll elaborate more on this another day). There was a lot of friends from over the years that I saw, a lot of drinking, popping bottles, and a stack of $1 bills displayed throughout the night. Glad I took a good amount of pictures, so its nice to look back on them and check them on to reflect on that night.
Honorable Mention Three:
June 15 2007 - This evening was for Jeff Lew's Wedding. I went with Tim Leo, who is relate to the groom (cousin). Tim came over to my new house when I first moved to where I dwell today, and we started drinking like at 3 pm. The wedding wasn't until 6pm. We drunk like a pint and almost a fifth of Hennessy, along with a few beers as well.
We left after the dinner, and met up at Tony's crib, where I threw up on his lawn, where we then proceeded to go to the WarRoom, still dressed up and shit in our suits, and drank a lil more to end that evening. I don't remember much after I threw up outside of Tony's house.
Honorable Mention Four:
January 5 2008 - The day started pretty early since of bunch of us gathered to go watch the Seahawks in a NFL playoff game. It was nice cause the Seahawks won, and we had a few drinks during the game, but the drinking didn't end there.
Went home to chill for a while, and change clothes, where we met up with a few friends, and some other friends, and went to a house party out in Bothell. We drank as the drinks were flowing, and even busted out with the half gal of that brown juice known as Hennessy. It was passed around where almost everyone that want a sip got one. It was a crazy night as I somehow lost my fitted that I had on, and ended up making out with Romina at Tony's crib, and I somehow got home, but dont remember how. One of those nights where I did take a lot of pics too from that day.
Honorable Mention Five:
January 16, 2010 - This was for Daigo's Birthday Celebration down in Portland, Oregon during MLK Weekend. It was nice as we rolled deep and chilled in downtown Portland, chilled, ate. and drank a bunch too. Seem like me and Victor K tried to go "shot for shot", and started a bit too early, like 2-3pm, and kept goin through the whole day, and night too. We eventually met up with the birthday boy, prefunk in the hotel room with like 30 people, and then got on the Party Bus where everyone was having a good time. At this point in time, I had to stop drinking for a while just to make it and stay awake. After cruising the block for like a hour, we got the Qube, the club spot.
Getting into the club was a bit more of a hassle than we would of like, but got in and everybody was enjoying themselves with the dancing and the drinking and bullshit. Apparently I was dancing with Ely a bit too hard, which astounded my friends who were watchin during that moment.
I left early with Duke, cause I was sleepy and he was tired of the scene, so we walked the 2 blocks from the club to our hotel and crashed, and well, lets just say it was a good thing I slept on the floor that night. I yakked a few times that night, and as I was kinda aware of what was goin on, I was really too lazy just to get up since I wrapped myself up in the blanket and already in fetal position. I got up around 5 am to throw up some more. I remember gettin up and gettin into a sprinters' stance to run to the bathroom so I could get the shit out of my system. It was pretty loud too, and Duke yelled to close the damn door, so I did. They would then tell me later on that it sounded as it I was dying or something. I saw the vomit that was on the same blanket I slept in from the night before, but at least with the liquor out of my system (not the way I wanted it to) I felt fine for the most part, just a bit drained. Although looking at Victor K the day after, he was really hung over.
We would spend the day in Portland eating and shopping before heading back home in the evening. Another good weekend with good people, and bunch of pics from that event too.
Well I end things here for now, and the next set of stories only get better, or worse depending on your perspective from here.

Kobe Bryant Is Mad Doggie
This was last night when the Lakers were playing the Spurs. He got a technical foul call on him as he was walkin to the bench. Frustrated, he yelled at the ref and then he called him a "Fuckin Faggot". He got fined by the NBA $100K for his gay slur.

Hater Circle
Just found out this isn't on urbandictiony yet... but this is according to Tony back in 2005 from his days of Xanga entries:
| What do you know about the "hater circle" at the clubs??????? REAL TALK- Hater Circle = A gathering of girls at the club ranging from 5 to 10 people. They proceed to the dance floor with their drinks in their right hands forming a circle and just doing the same ole 1-2 step, smiling at eachother. As a guy approaches one of the group members, he is suddenly given the "Shaun Alexander stiff arm", the  look, or the assist from another group member that pulls them away. |

Crown Royal In The Hotel
Back in 2008 for our buddy Roger's wedding up in Canada. It was raining that day, so we were stuck in the hotel room and needed to kill some time and also kill the bottle that I got from the night before. Had the goatee at the time as well, and got some crap about it when we went back home the next day. Consist of 5 shots of crown royal (two doubles and single shot)

69 Questions Updated Verison
This is a straight jack move from my old xanga page. I was just browsing through it and was laughin at some of my entries from back in the day (6-7 years ago). I left both the old responses and my new answers to compare, plus it would be a pain in the ass to delete and retype so there. So the old responses are still there for you to compare. New answers come first and are in italic

Shaka Smart Doin his Coachin Thing
This was footage from a practice that showed on CBS pregame during the Final Four weekend where he coached Virginia Commonwealth Rams. If you been following NCAA March Madness, the team was a #11 seed, and had to play an extra game along the way with tweaks in the format. He young so he can still do that.
Although his team lose to Bulter Bulldogs this evening, it was a good season for the team, and will get offers from various big name colleges, but University of Washington likely is not one of those school, but he goin to get paid regardless of where he ends up.
