Redwoody 9-26-2010

Went out to Redwood with Hongshu and Sam, with both of them on their new bikes. Hongshu totaled his 08 600rr doing a 12 o'clock wheelie on the bay bridge and Sam upgraded his 08 ninja 250 to a 02 ducati monster. Both bikes are allll decked out with aftermarket parts.

woot.

What's My Motivation??

So it has been a sad 2 years since I've started working here in the SF office. I remember when I was miserable in training that I hoped training would pay off eventually. I hoped I would be happier at my work and/or it would allow me to work decent hours so I may partake in other activities that would make me happier. Well neither has happened, except for the past few months where I take it upon myself to leave early, pissing off my managers, and drinking heavily with my friends. Those months have actually been very enjoyable, but working in this hell hole is constantly on the back of my mind.

I'll focus on the following topics in the following posts:

1. Management structure

2. Employee attitudes (I'll delve into specific people in this office)

3. Other Rants.

Off Topic.

Activities from this past weekend:

Thursday - Holy Cow

Friday - Waste of time visit from a friend late at night

Sat - Redwood in the morning. Gym with Choy. Little Star with Farzad, Shaud, Zoe. Fishbowl and Solstice post Little Star.

Sun - Ran. Picnic at Crissy Field with Farzad, Shaud, Zoe. Attempted clubbing with Choy, J Chris & Co.

Mon - Ride with Noah in San Rafael. Gym with Choy. Walked around the hood.

Delicious watermelon, bread and cheese.

Holy Cattle

Wrote this and didn't post last Friday:

10:40 AM and I am way too hung over to be productive right now. We (Hair, Irene, Jeff, JPC, Duke) went to Holy Cow and well... just tried to survive. No luck like two weeks ago, but still good times.

Back to the main agenda of this blog (which was obviously lost by the second post):

New Mexico if finally done. Unless yada yada yada they want to terminate some swappage... -_- They're about as functional as a blacked-out Hair so who knows when that's going to happen. SIG continues to be the most ridiculously annoying person and LID (size, ethnicity, Dude) is the same as usual: working hard, having no life outside of work, etc. Which reminds me, I should post individual personalities on here. Coming soon.

I Popped a Fruit...I mean Wheelie

I haven't been riding as much lately so I decided to take the ol sexy lady out for a ride last weekend. After not riding for about three weeks I thought I'd be a little jittery on the turns but Redwood treated me well. Corners were smooth and I think I had some good leans in. Sunday I was headed back to Redwood but missed the 24 so I just headed to Grizzly Peak in Berkeley. I don't know why I go back there cuz I never have a good ride. Reason? When I first got my bike I went up there and target fixated on a corner and crossed right in front of an oncoming suv. I almost pissed and shat my pants at that moment and threw up in my helmet. So now I pretty much go there to stop at the Wall and enjoy the view. ALTHOUGH I did some baby leans, I did finally pop a mini wheelie. I'm always scared cuz something like this might happen, but there's no way I even got my front wheel 2 feet off the ground. Anyways, here's the god damn beautiful freakin view from the Wall:

Yes, Berkeley is fucking awesome.

Also, I got to babysit this little wonderball of skin last Friday. Tracy - I am de facto babysitter whenever Dude's in town.

Is That A Flashlight?

String of texts from my roommate who is currently working at Gap headquarters as a contractor doing some comp stuff:

Roommate: Holy shit...so much eye candy @ gap hq...my eyes are getting cavities!

Me: you're inviting me over for lunch right

Roommate: Yea...they're serving fresh [female anatomy] here @ their cafe...

Roommate: ... with a side of t&a

....

[after a few minutes realizing how he's not the most inconspicuous person when checking out girls]

Me: behave yourself. wear sunglasses if you have to

Roommate: I tried the sunglasses but its not covering up my boner

THE END.

Where The Fuck Did 2010 GO?

It's July already.

Random thoughts:

1. Our new receptionist is fucking awesome. Not only do we both have interests in the same herbal remedies, but she is also hilarious. Example:

(over the phone)

Me: Hey do you know if Peter's going to be in on Monday. I need to schedule some conference calls.

ES: Can you suck my penis?

Awesome. We were gona get lunch at the strip club today but I've been swamped lately. Titties and fried chicken next Friday.

2. That ride Hongshu and I went on on the 4th was FUCKING BRUTAL. You try to ride 360 miles in one day, most of it on the freeway. We rode out to Yosemite. I thought I was riding in 1995 Oprah's crotch; I haven't sweated that much since my glory days as mini-Asian-Butter-Bean. Pics to follow once work dies down (not going to happen. I'll most likely post it soon when the MAN is gone).

The roads were well worth it. I didn't even have to try to lean, the turns were perfect. I got rid of my chicken strip on the left, but some still remain on the right. I'm gona demolish that ish like my 10 year old self with a 24 pc. chicken mcnugget box on my next trip (Redwood this sat and Mines/DPC on Sunday).

3. Pick N Roll needs to happen ASAP.

4. I've given up on joining the NBA. I'll settle for the NHL.

5. I need to buy hockey skates.

A Very Happy 4th

Following a caucasian pool party on Saturday up in wine country I'll be going on a very long, fun trip on the 4th. Ultimate destination? This epic looking road:

aka "Little Dragon"

Kinda sucks i'll be wasting my tires on freeway slab for most of the day but hopefully my chicken strips will be getting smaller after little dragon.
