"There's something about the summer, something about the summer that makes me moody." - Best Coast

Make Music Pasadena could have possibly been unforgettable and forgettable. I ran into a bunch of familiar feces by the way.

"In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like hoe business." - 50 Cent

I was confined to Space 15 Twenty's fortress made of flea and farmer's market and UO, among other happenings. If only the assailants catapulted some bums, dimwits, and other parasitic city dwellers..

Like with Dim Mak, I am bringing Cubtrina's Intern-net Surfing here. It lasted for about 40 posts, until it ran dry. This was from the week before finals, mainly from the artwalk.

I’m not going to act a loquacious loon and go into detail on this public blog. The week was amazeballs and quixotic. I am blessed to attend events as a press passer. P.S. So these photos bore myself to death too, but just go along with it!

I underestimated the distance from point B to point C, and so Jennifer and I missed a huge chunk of the Thai Nguyen fall/winter 2011 show. We managed to catch the finale with the entire collection, while my camera's settings went off the charts!

I had to hold some Olivia Munn photos for a few months until the Audrey spring issue was released. Those who have worked behind the scenes aren't stretching the truth when they say shoots are beyawn-d unglamorous. It's nothing like the end result.

There will be light.

There will be no privacy.

'I'm bi-winning. I win here and I win there.' - Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen rhymes with morphine.

That reminds me: River Phoenix drowned in lethal levels of cocaine and morphine back in Halloween of '93. So here's a My Own Private Idaho homage to those who have OD'ed and passed on (and could have used some lifesaving tiger blood transfusions themselves).

P.S. James Franco recently collaborated with director Gus Van Sant to rework the 1991 film into a 12-hour version called Endless Idaho. I'm hope you believe in freewill and have options to choose not to see the Yale student's work.

A few minor characters are composites. Except for family members, public figures and Dwayne, identities have been scrambled

Belated Happy 21st Anniversary to my beautiful mother and very sociable father (ha ha!). Two things I unfortunately did not inherit. I, however, was raised to be an independent thinker, and look at me now: a weirdo. This post is the least and only thing I could ever do for the two. But I love my parents!

This isn't the best selection of photos, but rather a random assortment of photos that gives a little look into their years together from their Long Beach Polytechnic High School years to now. Click here to read a Bakitwhy.com piece.

NOTE: I've tried to change it up a bit by posting photos taken by others again, but in reality, it means I'm just being lazy. So take a glance and take an even closer look to see if you notice any similarities between the black and whiteness of the six photos I carefully selected. These most-viewed male models are actually in the grey area when touching upon the versatility of the androgynous and post-grunge appeal a la i-D and Dazed and Confused. The conventional angular-look of Jon Kortajarena and Mathias Lauridsen are still sure-fire forms of beauty (and what many men call gay), but the fashion industry is always seasons ahead when embracing the uniqueness of it all.
