Safety is Job #1

I'm glad to be back in southern California. The UK was great and I wish I had a bit more time there, but it was FUCKING COLD! It's so windy and wet in the winter that it's actually colder than northern Japan. I'd like to go back and check out the tourist spots and night life soon though. It's also nice to be caught up on sleep since I've been traveling for almost a month straight.

My co-worker, Justin at Cosworth sent me this dope email. They need to step up safety in 3rd world countries. Enjoy:

Face protection in Africa:

3rd World

I'm not usually one to clown the 3rd world countries of the world. However, we who live in the western world usually take things for granted. For example, things like roads, trucks, cars, etc. You would think that in today's day and age that countries like China and places in Africa would have most modern western conveniences. Not so if you are outside of Shanghai, Beijing, or the city ...

Need For Speed - Pro Street & Juiced 2 - HIN

These Xbox360 games looks pretty tight. I think they will be fun to play and most of the Xbox360 games are pretty dope. Troy from XS sent me an email with some links to some screen shots from this new game.

Griffith Observatory

The Griffith Observatory reopened it's doors to the public earlier this year. They have some new displays and the old ones too. Interesting stuff, but some of it's really basic so I think it's meant to inspire and educate kids. Anyhow, I had some friends in town from Oakland/San Francisco so we spent the day cruising around LA. Today was a super nice day in southern California. Santa Monica beach is beautiful and the view at the observatory was absolutely awesome. I remember why I love southern California so much on days like this. I've traveled most of this country and some other parts of the world and I have to tell you that Los Angeles is the absolute best place to live.

Sachiko Hanai

While I was up in San Francisco a couple weeks ago, I stopped by the Red Vic Movie House on Haight Street to watch an independent Japanese movie with Phil from 360 video and a friend. This theater is known to play indie films of all genres - some good and some bad. The name of th movie was "The Glamourous Life of Sachiko Hanai" and if any of you have watched some Japanese movies, you'll know that they can be pretty trippy. This movie definitely falls into the pretty trippy category. Sachiko Hanai is a call girl who gets a bullet in the forehead, but doesn't die. The bullet jacks up her brain (this is illustrated with cutting edge CG graphics). This movie is good for a time killer...

WTF? No Car!

I just got back from Turkey yesterday and I had to take a taxi to dinner earlier. I currently have 6 cars and I can't drive any of them at the moment. Can you fucking believe that shit? It's partially my fault since I lag on maintaining my 96 Maxima (daily beater) and it was leaking water so the regular maintenance and repairs should be done at XS any day now. My 2000 GS300 has a flat tire because I lag on getting a new tire, but the tire store bent my 20" Work wheel last time they mounted a tire so it leaks. I gotta get that fixed, but that's a whole bitch in itself. My 91 Supra runs, but is not tuned and I haven't had time to finish it. My 94 GT-R runs, but the guys at XS need i...

Eddie Murphy

For the longest time, Eddie Murphy's Delirious was not available on DVD. I hate VHS tapes so I was waiting for Delirious on DVD for the longest time. This is Eddie Murphy's first stand alone movie. Raw was his second. Both are funny as hell. Since most of you reading this grew up on Def Comedy Jam and don't know shit about real stand up comedy like Richard Prior and Eddie Murphy, you NEED to go and rent this. After watchin Delirious and laughing your fucking ass off, go and rent Raw. You should do some sit ups first to prepare your stomach for the amount of laughing it will have to handle.

I was cruising the local blockbuster and I saw Delirous and had to rent it. I d...
