Life upgraded?

The stupid slogan from Mark Taylor... I guess in a way it is true, well for me at least. I went from living in a north Phx shit hole to a luxury town house in Tempe. I mean it seems expensive but with the money I was spending on gas I guess it is cheaper since I only play about 100 more here and I'm closer to where I usually always go to.

I guess in a way life is good, new job with great bosses and coworkers, new crib and soon a new phone since my bb is hurt. I have almost everything I want for now to keep me content but I still feel like something is missing. Is it that NSX I been eyed for so long? Or is it that BMW that left me a couple years ago that wants to return to my life? I don't know... there is that saying that money can't buy you happiness... but I make more money that before and I have a lot more things that I worked for and I have never been happier, so to say... Fuck that saying... I'm happy and money brought it to me.

If anyone wants to make me happier I will take happiness in the form of Gucci and Louis Vuitton... thanks.

Frozen Yogurt BOGO

I'm not a real big fan of Mojo FroYo but I do like a deal when I see one. It is good but I like the plain flavor to be more tart than theirs, but the other flavors are good. I reviewed Mojo on Yelp! awhile back and someone from their company sent me a coupon. So i'm gonna share it with everyone.

Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter

So I'm not much of a reader but this book looks real promising in keeping my attention. Plus it is only 180 pages so it's not so long that I will get bored of it. It also doesn't hurt that the author is a really hot tatted Japanese girl.

Description:
Yakuza Moon is the shocking, yet intensely moving memoir of 37-year-old Shoko Tendo, who grew up the daughter of a yakuza boss. Tendo lived her life in luxury until the age of six, when her father was sent to prison and her family fell into terrible debt. Bullied by classmates and terrorized at home by a father who became a drunken, violent monster after his release from prison, Tendo rebelled. A regular visitor to nightclubs at the age of 12, she soon became a drug addict and a member of a girl gang. At 15 she was sentenced to eight months in a juvenile detention center.
Adulthood brought big bucks and glamour when Tendo started working as a bar hostess during Japan's booming bubble economy of the nineteen-eighties. But among her many rich and loyal patrons there were also abusive clients, one of whom beat her so badly that her face was left permanently scarred. When her mother died, Tendo plunged into such a deep depression that she tried to commit suicide twice.
Tendo takes us through the bad times with warmth and candor, and gives a moving and inspiring account of how she overcame a lifetime of discrimination and hardship. Getting tattooed, from the base of her neck to the tips of her toes, with a design centered on a geisha with a dagger in her mouth, was an act that empowered her to start making changes in her life. She quit her job as a hostess. On her last day at the bar she looked up at the full moon, a sight she never forgot. The moon became a symbol of her struggle to become whole, and the title of the book she wrote as an epitaph for herself and her family.

"Cristal"

Saw some Cristal at costco. So I guess the Jay-Z boycott hit them that bad with the pressures of this economy of everyone cutting back on luxury items that they have to sell to costco. Bringing Cristal to the masses now.

Priced at $199 at costco is not bad. At least there the price wont change due to market values.

Did you all know that the gold wrapper is anti-UV cellophane wrapper.

From Wikipedia:

Cristal was first created in 1876 for Alexander II of Russia, and is viewed by many as the first prestige cuvée[1]. As the political situation in Russia at the time of his rule was unstable, the tsar feared assassination. He ordered that the bottles, containing the drink, were made clear to avoid having a bomb hidden in a typical green bottle.[citation needed] Louis Roederer commissioned a Flemish glassmaker to create a Champagne bottle with a flat bottom. Bottles made from common glass have a bell shaped bottom which makes them strong enough to cope with Champagne's pressure. To create a flat bottomed bottle they had to be made from stronger, clear lead crystal. The Champagne has since become known as "Cristal".

Fresh and Easy

What ever happened to the great deals with even better coupons. The 3 dollars off 10 or 5 off 20? Then it went from 10 off 30 to now a huge jump to 10 off 50. I mean it's better than nothing but wow what's next 10 off 75? I think that a lot of customers who were attracted by those coupons are now going to the regular grocery stores again now.

Urban Outfitters

Cruised over to Urban Outfitters to checkout some shirts and found that the graphic printed shirts are on sale for $5!!!!

Took full advantage with this deal and got a few shirts. Went to the one on Mill Ave first then ended up in Old town for some other shit so went over to that one too. Found some dope shirts!

Repost Skills

One thing I haven't done yet is a full tuna, looks like this guys has year and years of practice. So many sushi chefs here in the states don't get the chance to even see a full tuna.

So, as I was on my mini vacation and I was trying to figure out my mobile set up for blogging from my BB I accidentally deleted this post. So here it is again.

short but fun trip

I'm in Cali right now and I realize Californians do it differently. Why is it that I see so many more baller rides out here. All aspects of life costs more in LA compared to PHX yet still everyone seems to be on top of the game. What's Phoenix doing wrong? What am I doing wrong?

There is so much hustle here on a daily. AZ we need to step our game up. Although this was a last minute unplanned trip but a great relief to the daily bust of what I was doing in AZ. A little bit inspirational on the desire to work for something. Ever since graduation I haven't been anything but a zombie but I think I know now.

Now let's see if this inspires my designs and gets me out of this designers block.

Dang this sucks. Sent this post as a text but it split it up in 5 posts in the wrong order. Then tried to delete all to repost then accidently deleted my post from monday.
