Blogs have turned into something of a tool to give people ADD if they didn’t already have it.  People visit blogs for instant gratification – pictures, videos…  It seems like people don’t want to read anymore.  I’m guilty of it too, as a person who has a blog and a person who “reads” them as well.

I recently came across a blog with some substance – you should go check it out too and exercise that mushy out of shape brain of yours.  In the following link the dude talks about some of the ignorance that comes with faith and religion – http://www.gswordplay.com/wordplay/2010/10/17/the-dilution-of-a-purpose.html

Here’s a clip from Video Option covering the latest D1GP at Ebisu Minami course. They go into depth about the new line entering the first corner and show some pretty amazing drifting.

It’s interesting to think back how long this course has been around for drifting and how much it’s changed as drifting style has changed. And all the while, it’s still the coolest course for drifting.

I got this spiffy Hngloose x JDMEgo collabo shirt on today.

As far as collaborations go, look how awesome of a job they did – both brands represented in a single logo without taking away from each other.  Amazing job guys!!!  Plus the shirt is good quality and fits nice, so that’s always a plus haha.

These shirts are available for purchase online today – Go buy one at Hngloose.com and support the good guys at Hngloose and JDMEgo!

I was driving last weekend when I heard this big turbo diesel pull up next to me.  I thought it was a big rig…. but nope.  It was this huge bad ass toy hauler with a Ford F-750 badge.  I looked it up – it can tow over 20,000 lbs!!!  On a class C chassis?  Yes please.  Santa where are you – I’ve been good this year!

And yeah – it was towing that Chevy Silverado.

Man I can’t imagine what it would be like to drive this around towing both Nadine’s AND my drift car at the same time.

PH Towers Westgate is connected to a mall called Miracle Mile – which was nice because it was air conditioned and I didn’t have to walk very far to find some souvenirs for the kids.  What struck me as weird was they had a couple ABC stores and a Crazy Shirts store – it felt like I was in Hawaii.

If you’re ever at the mall, DON’T EAT THERE.  None of the restaurants looked appetizing, but we sat down and tried one anyways because it was convenient.  Big mistake.  The food sucked and prices were on the pricey side.  To cheer ourselves up from a crappy dinner, we stopped in to the Serendipity 3 we saw while driving down The Strip.  We’ve been on a sweet potato fries trip lately, so we ordered some fries and their famous frozen hot chocolate.  Score!

Next day we had brunch at Tableau inside the Wynn.

pancakes with chunks of apple and apple maple syrup

amazing french toast - the insides werent soggy and the crust was crunchy

heaven sticks

just some fancy hash

I love the Wynn, because when I gamble there, I Wynn – I mean win.  So after brunch, I went to go win some money so that we could go shopping later.

For dinner, we went to a place called Fiamma Trattoria inside MGM.  Here’s some highlights of the meal…

Ryan taught me about Scotch, so I got a Tasker 10 year.

Their Antipasto - I could have just eaten this all night

Buffalo mozzarella caprese

We went to go see Penn & Teller’s show, which was pretty good.  They shot each other at the end of the show which was pretty rad.  And afterwards, Penn & Teller both come out to meet the audience and sign autographs and stuff.

Wonton noodle soup – a favorite comfort food from my childhood.
