2009 RECAP

JIBJAB IS A GENIUS. HERE'S A YEAR RECAP VIDEO THEY MADE.

JESUS' BIRTHDAY

STARTED OFF JESUS' BIRTHDAY W/ A CELEBRATORY GATHERING FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOY W/ SOME PRAYING AND SINGING & REITERATION OF THE REAL REASON WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! & HERE'S SOME PICTURES & STORYTELLING AFTERWARDS. ENJOY:

I THOUGHT SANTA WOULDVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME SO ON CHRISTMAS EVE I PICKED UP THESE EXTREMELY LIMITED & HIGHLY DESIRED JORDAN SHOES MYSELF. FOOTLOCKER SOLD OUT IN MINUTES BUT HAD A HALF SIZE SMALLER THAN WHAT I WEAR WHEN I STOPPED BY SO I GRABBED 'EM ANYWAYS. DEFINITELY THE BEST SHOES EVER, & WELL WORTH THE $175...W/ A RE-SELL VALUE OF YOUR LIFE! PEOPLE IN THE MAINLAND WERE ROBBING STORES & LINING-UP FOR HOURS & I GOTS MINE'S IN 10 SECONDS. BOOYAKAHSHAKA!

ON CHRISTMAS MORNING SANTA STOPPED BY & DROPPED ERIN A 26" HDTV FOR THE ROOM SO SHE CAN WATCH HER FAVORITE DISNEY SHOWS WHILE I HOG THE 40" IN THE LIVING ROOM W/ MY ESPN & PS3.

SANTA DROPPED ME OFF A WATERPROOF CASE FOR MY CAMERA. BUT SINCE I DONT SURF OR LIVE THE OCEAN I GUESS YOU GUYS WILL BE TUNING INTO SOME HI-DEFINITION VIDEO OF ME IN THE SHOWER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. LUCKY YOU!

FAMILY & FRIEND SANTAS GOT ME SOME MONEYS & GIFTCARDS. THANKS EVERYONE!

SCORED A BROWNIE-SQUARES PAN & MIX. THANKS MITCH!

A FEW DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS SANTA STOPPED BY AGAIN W/ A SNOWBOARD JACKET FOR ME. SO OTHER THAN THE SHOWER VIDEOS IN THE FUTURE, YOU MIGHT GET SOME HI-DEFINITION SNOWBOARDING VIDEOS. THE CANADA TRIP IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH, SO THERE'S STILL 2 MONTHS OF MY SHOWERS TO COME, JUST FYI.

ALSO, ARRIVING LATE WAS A PACKAGE FROM UPS. IT WAS "THE BLANKET W/ SLEEVES!" LAKERS EDITION SNUGGIE. WORD! THERE WAS NO NOTE WHO GOT IT FOR ME SO I WAS LIKE WHOA...THE UPS GUY KNOWS I LIKE THE LAKERS!? HOW SWEET. BUT LATER I GOT A TEXT FROM MY BROTHER ASKING IF I RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL. THANKS DANK & ANDREA FOR RUINING MY HOPES W/ THE UPS DUDE.

MORE LAKERS PARAPHERNALIA. SKULLCANDY RELEASED THEIR TEAM COLLABORATION HEADPHONES. I SANTA'D MYSELF FOR THIS. LAKERS WHAT!!!

LASTLY, I SANTA'D MYSELF W/ SOME SOFTWARE SEMI-UPGRADES. iLIFE HAS THE NEWEST VERSIONS OF iPHOTO & iMOVIE SO EXPECT MORE BLOGS & VIDEOS. HOPEFULLY IT'S EASIER & LESS TIME-CONSUMING. THE SNOW LEOPARD PROGRAM THING WAS JUST A REQUIREMENT I HAD TO GET B/C I COULDNT UPGRADE TO iLIFE W/O IT. LAME.

THAT'S IT PANCIT.

VIA FRESHNESSMAG.

The trade of beatboxing requires both hard work and let’s face it, talent. While not everyone is about to drop beats like MC Zani, UK’s beatbox champion, a new interesting little gadget will help you achieve his level of proficiency with easy tapping. At just $25 a pop, the Stylophone Beathbox features 13 metal pads that will generate sounds of MC Zani when tapped with a stylus. Other than insane tapping, the toy also has a loop mode which enables one to build and layer different sounds ranging from percussion to human beatbox and bass samples. Check out some demo videos and have the guys who already got their hands on the gadget to show you how it’s done! Also, the beatbox is now available via 100 Milligrams.
