Since I last blogged...I think the last time I did, I was in LV.
Not much has happened since I came back from LV...just the ball league I run: www.leaguelineup.com/mbl and I've heard something about the NBA playoffs happening, not sure what that's about LOL.
So I know in a previous post I said I would write another Pinoy Pride article...well, that article never happened LOL. I just haven't found any time to sit there and write or blog for that matter. I'm actually starting get more on twitter. However, the only time I "tweet" is when I'm bored...which happens to be almost the whole day I'm @ work LOL. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I do...sort of...but when you're more interested in being with your Family, Music, Ball and Golf you kinda start to hate working for a living!
So I really don't know what else to say for now...I'm leaving work in about 1/2 hour...bored, just wanna get outta here already.

I need to see my son...
I've been thinking about him all day. I was trying to find kicks to match the ball outfit I bought him here in LV. I miss my wife & son...really, I do.
Today was pretty cool...drove around North Las Vegas checking out some property. Real Estate is going for dirt cheap around here. I have a feeling that I'll be spending more time in Las Vegas over the next couple of years ;)
After looking at houses, I met up with Xist and his buddy Steve. We went to some shoot for some Hip-Hop reality show MTV is releasing. They were filming the pilot episode...Xist knew some DJ, Presto One who was being part of the whole thing so we checked it out. It was kinda boring to tell you the truth. Afterwards we went to some "outdoor mall"...bought myself a pair of shorts. Went to get something to eat and can you believe they don't serve beer by the pint or pitcher!!! I asked what they served it in and they said "a glass"...I told them "You don't have pints or pitchers?!?! I'm Canadian, what da hell am I supposed to do with a glass of beer?" Anyway, I ended up getting bottle of Heiniken since they were so wack.
I've confirmed that Americans are pretty ignorant...I had some discussions about politics, religion and war (something I've always wanted to do with a conservative type Amurrican". This persons views & ideals were very hypocritical. Most of the knowledge is what they get fed in the news. They make judgements based on false information and ignorance. For example, I was told that terrorists will or have been coming in through Canada, to which I shot out "Straight up dude, that's a very ignorant statement." Then he went on some rant about how many Muslims we have in Canada..I felt like saying, yeah we also have lots of whites, blacks, chinks, flips and spics too eh? This is a former American soldier who served in Iraq I was talking to. When I heard that I said "I'm sorry to hear that you had to be part of that man." He looked at it as "fighting for his country" to which I told him, nobody should be part of a war man. Another statement I heard was that Islam teaches Muslims to hate and kill anyone who doesn't believe in their God. I wasn't having any of that and told him "I strongly disagree with you. The Qu'ran doesn't teach anything like that..I have friends that are devoted Muslims and they condemn the actions of the Taliban and this Jihad you all talk about." I mean this guy was so ignorant that he was using the word "Jihad" in the completely wrong context and definition of the word LOL. Like "oh, the jihad is gonna get us" There are SO many things the Amurrican said that didn't make sense and sounded so stupid....anyway, that little discussion truly made me grateful that I'm Canadian and have a little bit more of an open mind and tolerance for people of different religions and cultures. At one point I said "dude, you Americans are so scared about another terrorist attack...what tha hell has happened since 9/11?" The answer to that? "Well we gotta go over there and make sure they're not coming over here..." This coming from the same guy that said "They shouldn't be coming here and messing with us." Says a lot about these Amurricans don't it?

Vegas Baby!
So I'm in LV...my flight landed Thursday night @ 11:15pm. By the time I was out of the airport and on my way to my aunts, it was 1:00am. My aunt cooked some seafood pasta for me & garlic bread...it's good to be a member of this family LOL. Fortunately my gout didn't act up. Around 2am I hit the strip with my boy DJ Xist who came to LV from L.A. to meet up with me (that's fam right there!). We walked around the mirage, Caesar's Palace..I snapped some pictures but I did more people watching. My wife would have had a good laugh..there were nuff drunk people roaming the strip. I didn't crash until 6am and am going on 5 hours sleep right now...I knew this would happen LOL.
Today I just bought some new ball kicks...the Melo 4's. Yah, yah, they're old but I've heard that they're a good shoe. And besides, Logan has a pair so we match now! It was a toss up between Melo 4's and the Zoom Kobe II ST in Olympic colours. Although I LOVE my Zoom Kobe II ST's (I have them in black & purple) and am so happy with them, I wanted to try another shoe out....the selling point on the Melo's was that they came with free Jordan ankle braces :)
Tonight I'm meeting up with some fam for dinner then probably just gonna cruise the strip. I have the option of clubbing as my boy Xist has mad links but I'm not feeling the dress code and expensive drinks...besides, only parties I honestly care about are Jungle/Drum & Bass parties. Tomorrow night it's the fight and my set...should be fun!
I'll upload pics later on...right now, I need to go enjoy the Las Vegas night! Really wish the wife & son were here...
