Four x's Crazy

So there as been a huge craze in Los Angeles with the birth of a new alcoholic beverage called Four Loko. Its a mix of malt liquor, energy juice and artificial fruit flavoring. Four Loko has about 6 or more flavors available now from Lemonade, Fruit Punch and Watermelon just to name a few. The average price is about $2.99 plus tax and personally if your looking to get faded quickly it does the trick. My brestfriend Tiff and I always says "Four Loko + 30 minutes and I'm on". My only issue with Four Loko's is they give the worst hangovers ever and I am speaking from experience. I've heard quite a few people talk badly about people who drink Four Loko's and in my opinion I could give two shits as Lil Wayne said "Don't worry about what's in my cup". I'm the type of person that likes what I like and I do what I want to do so when everyone goes right I'm in the left lane doing my own thing. Hit up your local liquor store and get a Four Loko in your life.

The Takeover of Social Networks

It is so amazing how forms of communications have changed! Once we used to talk on land lines only due to the fear of cell phones and new technology. Now talking on a land line is a thing of the past. There are now so many ways to communicate that actually are impersonal but people use them in the most personal forms ever. With the birth of Facebook and the death of Myspace in the past 2 years, and we can't forget about the uprising of Twitter, Formspring, OOVOO, Tumblr and Foursquare. And I can't forget about all my bloggers out there!!! And all my vimeo folks. Before you used to have to wait for a person to tell you what they were up to in their lives now with just a click of a button its all there on the Internet or what I like to call "The World Wide Web". It bothers me that we might not ever get back to formal communication maybe one day or is that wishful thinking. I can't sit here and act like I am not guilty of these forms of communication, I have 3 Twitter accounts, 1 Facebook page, 1 Tumblr page, 1 Formspring, about 10 email accounts and my main form of communication is texting. I know, I know very sad but I've become so turned off of the thought of talking on the phone and I'm not sure why. I guess I need to stop all that texting and pick up the phone and call some folks?? Task for today less texting more calling. Let's see how that works out for me. Here is my tribute to "Social Networking"

1997

So apparently I've been sleeping on this cat from L.A. named Dom Kennedy. I had been seeing tweets on Twitter from my boy Danny about him. So one day I clicked on a link Danny posted on Twitter regarding Dom Kennedy's video "1997" and once I saw the video I was in love. He's cute, and the song is SUPER DOPE!!!!!! This video is really on the lines of less is more. Dom Kennedy has a mixtape out called "From The Westside With Love" I strongly suggest you download it. Listen to the song closely and try and remember where you were and what you had going on in 1997.

BET Awards 2010

This years BET Awards I have to say was WAY better than that last minute fiasco they re vised after finding out Michael Jackson passed. 2010 marks the anniversary for a lot of things that happened 10 years ago. I appreciate BET for the 360 it made this year on the awards. From giving King I mean Queen Latifah the opportunity to host from Alicia Keys cuttin up with her pregnant self to Nicki Manj basically killing Little Kim's career right before our very eyes. Shout out to Young Money for taking home awards to Wezzy, I am sure he will be proud when he gets home. Prince looked amazing with his face done up receiving the "Life Time Achievement Award" and John Legend wining the "Humanitarian" award. In closing I just have to say this: Although they call it the BET Awards, there weren't that many awards giving out they should call it "BET Performs". Oh yea last but not least SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS BROWN for the resurrection of his career. Check out http://www.bet.com/ for more, fashion, scenes and interviews from the awards last night.

Rest Easy Michael Joseph Jackson

Friday June 25, 2010 marked the 1 year anniversary of the death of the world's greatest entertainer, Michael Joesph Jackson. I have always been a fan of Michael's music and I had the pleasure of attending one of his concerts back in the 80's when he performed at the Great Western Forum. When you think of Michael Jackson I am sure so many songs come to mind and although I love all of his music "Thriller" is my favorite video. Enjoy! Rest easy Michael you are truly missed.

Welcome Kalbi Burger

Los Angeles has a new burger spot to welcome, Kalbi Burger (http://kalbiburger.com/), Kalbi Burger located in Korea town on Wilshire and Wilton. Kalbi Burger is soon to be L.A.'s new hot spot, its clean, cute and so L.A. inside. Last night I stopped by because I had a dinner meeting for Junior-Prenuers and I offered Kalbi as a suggestion and everyone agreed. Kalbi has been open for a week and a half and by the looks of the way business was moving last night they are sure to be in business for a while, the setting is very posh and cute with the main decor of red and black and very hip and modern furniture. The service was great and the food was fresh and YUMMY. I ordered the Kalbi Burger combo, the burger came with american cheese, romain lettuce, Korean vinaigrette red onions, tomato and kalbi aioli sauce it was served with fries and a drink and my total was $10.92. The burger was so tasty and big, I was only able to eat half. I only waited about 5 minutes for my food to be ready and the presentation of the food was great. Kalbi burgers are made with certified natural Agus Beef and all burgers are cooked medium well unless otherwise specified.It was so neatly but together and it was just enough of the fries and the burger was enough for 2 people in my opinion. Kalbi serves a variety of burgers, hot dogs, salads, and different types of fries (salt & vinegar, garlic and chili cheese fries). Kalbi offers wi fi also, I also enjoyed eating there because its super laid backed playing some of the hottest hip hop, how can you not like a place like that. Kalbi is open Monday-Saturday from 11am-9pm, Kalbi is the perfect blend of Asian flavor twisted with the classic american burger. So welcome Kalbi Burger!!!!

We Are The Champions, My Friends & We'll Keep On Fighting Til The End

Last night was the end for the Boston Celtics and all though they have played a good series, I don't think they wanted to win as bad as the Los Angeles Lakers. With Kobe having a horrible game and giving the other players like Odom, Artest and Gasol a chance to set up the Lakers brought the Championship home again (REPEAT). Last night after the game I drove around L.A. to pick up a Laker t-shirt and WALA



Los Angeles was way to TURN'T UP last night everywhere! Although I was a little disapointed that there were fights, fires and foolishness. We are all adults and need to celebrate responsably. As we get ready for the Laker Parade lets all keep in mind to be respectful and be careful. Below are 2 of my favorite highlight clips from last night:
