I hope this will be the next big thing in Hip Hop – substance.

After watching Ken Block’s video yesterday, I’ve been in a rally kind of mood.

Here is another video I saw today of Travis Pastrana breaking a mountain climb record at Mt. Washington.  Red Bull must have a viral video quota for all their drivers.

The first one was really cool, but mostly for the entertainment factor and not necessarily the level of skill displayed. This one leaves no doubt in my mind that Ken Block is a very talented driver.

I wonder how much it costs him in maintenance costs alone to do this type of video shoot. I bet he’s got to tear down the engine after a day of doing this.

Miatas for Rob

3 comments

Rob, I think you set the standard for miatas in the USA. All I see now are slammed miatas with low offset wheels.

Here are a couple I saw today while out getting lunch.

EDIT: cropped due to the fact that I do not post fake wheels on this website LOL

I watched the MTV video awards last night and became a Taylor Swift fan boy.

Below is her performance from last night. It sounds like this is the song that Kanye West wrote for her in apology for his crazy antics during last year’s VMAs.

Here are the lyrics for the song:
I guess you really did it this time
left yourself and you’re open
lost your balance on a tightrope
lost your mind trying to get it back
wasn’t easier in your lunch box days?
always a bigger bed to crawl into
wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything
and everybody believed in you

it’s alright just wait and see, your
string of lights are still bright to me, oh
who you are is not what you’ve been
you’re still an innocent
you’re still an innocent

there’s some things you can’t speak of
but tonight you’ll live it all again
you wouldn’t be shattered on the floor, now
if only you would seen what you know now, then
wasn’t it easier in your firefly catching days
and everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you
wasn’t it beautiful running wild until you fell asleep
before the monsters caught up to you

it’s alright just wait and see, your
string of lights are still bright to me, oh
who you are is not what you’ve been
you’re still an innocent

it’s okay life is a tough crowd
32 and still growing up, now
who you are is not what you did
you’re still an innocent

time turns blazed with embers
you’ll have new septembers
everyone of us has messed up too, ooh
lines change like the weather
i hope you remember
today is never too late, to
be brand new

it’s alright just wait and see, your
string of lights are still bright to me, oh
who you are is not what you’ve been
you’re still an innocent

it’s okay life is a tough crowd
32 and youre still growing up, now
who you are is not what you did
you’re still an innocent
you’re still an innocent

lost your balance on a tightrope
it’s never too late to get it back

Nadine was on a photography trip this weekend and borrowed my dad’s SLR. Here’s a pic she took of Yuta’s lawnmower in front of Portillo’s.

I can only go to Portillo’s a few times a year for fear of ending my life early via cardiac arrest.  I’m sure even their salads are bad for you haha!  Here’s my magical combination at Portillo’s: Italian Beef dipped with mozzarella and hot peppers and a root beer.  Bam -10 health points!

Thanks Yuta and Lucky for taking the time to hang out!  It was fun!
