OMG RIHANNA OMG! im so there...
...wherever/whenever it is

a beautiful one man show

my old bboy mentor alfredo, aka free, has released his dvd titled "a beautiful one man show." unlike my dumb ass, alfredo has passed the test of time as he has been dancing for as long as i've known him. the result of his dedication to his craft is nothing short of mastering a style of his own and changing the direction of the dance culture. as with alfredo's dancing, im sure this dvd will be a breath of fresh air soaked with originality. so if you can appreciate the art of dance or just want to add a sick ass dvd to your library, go to soulshifters.com right now to cop yours today!

colin munroe - flashing lights remix

this video is from up-and-coming artist colin munroe. although i think the original version of kanye's "flashing lights" is already dope as hell, colin's twist is well-defined while not being overdone. nicely executed with the video. check it out...

fuck you cazal x dita

so for the last couple months, i've been anticipating the release of the 902 glasses from a collaboration of two of my favorite eyewear companies.. Cazal and Dita. being a vintage frame from cazal brewed with dita's ingredients.. i was prepared to pay $250-$400 (which is still pretty ridiculous for some shit over your eyeballs).



but no, they decided to add special packaging, special accessories, and a special case..which all adds up to a special price of $750...
!@#$!@#%$##%^&*##!!!!!!@@!@!# fuck.



so a middle finger goes out to you bastards at cazal and dita. i dont need your $750 glasses...

...but i do.

home is where the heart is

with all this talk (or blog for that matter) about all these different places around the globe, i didnt want to forget the city that i live in. nothing beats a beautiful day in the emerald city.. especially a summer day. everyone wants to complain about how it rains too much, its too gloomy, its this, its that. i, for one, enjoy the four seasons seattle brings to the table. i'll take the rain and clouds because it brings along fresh skies with the sun.

i've been offered a job in the sunny state of california, but that consistent hot weather not only brings about traffic and smog..it brings consistency. boring. seattle brings an unpredictable character..and i love that. appreciate my city..

Back to Beantown

Edit: Whoops sorry for the monster post, it's been a long month, LOL....

Back in Boston after a whirlwind 3 weeks all over the map. Hoping the Jonuts family is doing well. Congrats to Ratana on the upcoming little one.

Great Christmas with the folks. Hit Tahoe Heavenly with some old friends, made some new friends, had a rockin' cabin party including standard NYE fare and some not so-standard fare including an very fun NYE hat making extravaganza.

Then it was on to the treks. First up, Silicon Valley to visit startups, venture capitalists, hot IPO VMWare and even Google. Nearly a quarter of the entire first year MBA class was on this trek, so there it was good company day and night, including a fairly crazy party at the hotel one night.

We looked like a bunch of mobsters the whole time - it was a little strange walking into a short-and-tshirt-laden startup dressed up like wiseguys, but's that's how we roll. This was supposed to say "MIT" but only the guy on the right read the memo.


The bay area portion of the trek was capped off well. One of our fine classmates rented the Mexican party bus and we got on that bad boy and partied across four bars, across the Golden Gate Bridge, next to trolleys, you name it. Pictures from that have been sworn to strict secrecy to protect the innocent.

Next up, Los Angeles. This was the start of the more "fun" portion of the trek. We started by switching over to nice business casual as opposed to all out gangster suits. We visited some amazing entertainment companies, visited the Dodgers (got a nice pep talk from Tommy Lasorda himself), had a meeting with the NHL Champion Ducks and their GM, had a networking event with UCLA Anderson and Columbia MBAs, went to Disney Corporate and even got a behind the scenes look at Disneyland operations. Of course there was the mandatory In-n-Out burger stop, where one of our more accomplished eaters managed to pound an animal style 4x4 before we headed over to Honda Center and the Ducks.

We got the MIT thing right this time:


At the Dodgers Press Box:


After Tommy Lasorda's impressive talk:


Honda Center hours before the Mighty Ducks took the ice:


Disneyland!


LOL, during the LA trek somehow someone jupped us into going to karaoke. Apparently, this place, the Brass Monkey, was one of Manny Pacquio's favorite chilling spots when he was training in LA. These two chicks kept asking us to do a duet with them, and after some eeniee meenie miney moe, here is the line-up. Yah, we sorta got into it, LOL...


After all this, it was off to.... Vegas baby! Here we had visits with several entertainment and media companies. This was pretty cool, particularly when meeting with the brass and talking about overseas expansion strategies, implications of online gaming, the new CityCenter development on the strip etc. We got to see the high-rollers suites at the Venetian and the Wynn and even the villa at the Caesars, which was... jawdropping. The poker tables were softer than ever and a few victories paid for the trip in full. One flirtatious classmate, who was watching me play, was chatting to some dudes at the table. At some point, she told him where we were from, and from there on, I couldn't get no action at that table no more and had to move, lol. One of our more hooked up classmates managed full VIP table, Dom and whatnot at the Wynn club one evening which was fun. Obv what happens in Vegas...

Here we are in front of the Phantom theater doing the ol' MIT:


Not too many other Vegas pics, since there were no pictures in the suites, villas, etc.

Obv after that, it was back to Boston for interviews and of course, mad Patriots football frenzy. Boston v NYC in the Superbowl, who woulda thunk? Gonna be a fun one.

back in paradise

as ridiculous as it sounds, sometimes you need a vacation from a vacation. sometimes you miss the busyness after all the R&R. somtimes you miss putting in the work that allowed you to play however you wanted. orrrr maybe thats just me.

its sunday morning, and i'm finally in my own god damn bed in 2008. so what the heck, how bout i post up the rest of hawaii before i hit the streets like the countless hookers we met on kuhio street.

blue hawaiian

...not the drink. im talkin about me. been feeling like shit after ed's 24 run (happy birthday asshole). could have just copped out, but nope. man up nukka.
probably wasnt a great idea though, just made me feel worse. and thats why theres a lack of pictures of the other places we went to and the things we did























feeling much better today though. 3 bottles of o.j. and my 98th spam musubi should do the trick

Anne Bonney Street Art Show

Spencer Moody Of Murder City Devils fame always does unique events at his store The Anne Bonney on Olive St. Last night was no exception.

Artists included in the 2X2 Show were Farmerbob X Claudius Phaedrus X Kinoko X No touching ground X nko X starhead X SCNTFC X Little Bird X Bald Man Watching X Shawn Bishop

Shit was so packed i hardly got any pics. but heres a few:











-KJ over and out

"i shop so much i can speak...

hawaiin"?... ok, no. anyways, on the other side of the usa (and globe, for that matter).. we got all our shopping out of the way first thing. i know theres a lack of pics/updates.. but the crew is here for like 59 days so i thought we'd have plenty of time for that. blah blah blah jonas..on to the pics















be on the look-out for the new louis vuitton don

i love new york

..but i wouldnt go as far as to say I<3NY. dont get me wrong, this place is probably my favorite city that i have visited so far. theres so much to see.. so much culture and character at every corner.. so much hustle to respect. infact, i could see myself visiting this place once a year. but for now, im fuckin' new york'd out. relaxation (and lack of walking) in hawaii tomorrow is definitely due. until then..heres the last series of pics from my trip
