Ultimate Fighter Finale

I just finished watching this fight. BJ Penn is a savage. Truly a technician. I didn't notice any uneasiness for BJ Penn during the fight. Smooth transition with his submissions. The rear naked choke hold was beautiful. I liked how he used his legs to keep Jens Pulver's armed down causing him to be defenseless near the neck area. A true living legend.

Jens pulver is a great fighter as well. A fighter with great heart and powerful hands. Can't take nothing away.

The ultimate fighter fights were okay, I guess. The finale was weak, except for the first round. Nate Diaz is a good fighter but the injury to Manny dampens this win for me. Hopefully in a couple months they can have a proper rematch.

Joe Lauzon is a savage, 'nuff said.

Roger Huerta is also savage.

Overall, a good night of action from the UFC. Can't wait for 73 and 75 to come. Definitely, can't wait for UFC75 with the Henderson and Jackson fight.

Yes, I did buy these purple Emerica vans rip off, or whatever you wanna call 'em. Anyway, I am starting to veer away from Nike and sneakers in general. I will buy a pair I like, but only if it is off the chain. Weekly crap update this week. Just wait.

Weekly Crap

It's the new way to keep on blogging. Anyway, I buy shit every week, so why not just keep a running tally of the bullshit that I buy. Magazines, clothes, books, food, anything and everything. Anyway here is this week's crap.

Magazine(s) this Week:
Nylon Guys. Nice magazine, this caught my eyes because of the nigo feature. But I like the magazine overall.
Clothing:
Not much, just a bandana from the movie Hostel 2. I don't like horror movies that much. But when free shit falls on your lap, you just take it.

SK8ER Empire

Here is me and my friend's skate video. Check it out! Posing!!!!

Justice

I like house music, and one of the new groups burning up the electro-house scene, or whatever they call it now, is Justice. They are a French duo burning up the dance floor all-over the world right now. Well, anyway, if you are in the vicinity of France in the upcoming weeks, Colette is selling some of the t-shirts that were showcased in the groups new video, D.A.N.C.E. See the video above. Here are some of the t-shirts coming out.

Crooks n Castles Interview

Check out this interview by Highsnobiety with the head Crook with the dreams of castles, Dennis Calvero. Crooks has been around for a minute, but they are just killing it with their street dreams inspired clothing. When I do my so awesome designs (sarcasm, people!) I am inspired by the crooks people for their gritty but still clean look. But please, enough with the Medusa bandanna designs. (joking, please don't beat me up)

Connoissuer533

Connoissuer 533 is a local shop of San Jose located on south market st. Anyway, it's a great place to shop with a good atmosphere. Stock inventory is not the biggest but they got the stuff that is not in the "mainstream" of streetwear. Holla at them for their memorial weekend sale. I might be there, if I had any money. But I'll be there more this summer.
Anyway, here is the sampling of the stuff I bought at the shop. I like there selection, it's not about the new hot shit but what's different that no one is on at the moment. I never heard of Shalom, but I like there shit now that I got introduced to them by Connoissuer.

Kanye West - Cant' Tell Me Nothing

I don't know about this track, it ain't bad but I thought he would come out with something a little bit more uptempo than this track. It is not a bad track, it's actually pretty good. With the Young Jeezy samples and the hammers slamming down on the metal as the overlay on the hi-hats. I like it but he should come out with something slamming. But it's probably the point of the album. Coming out from college and making that money is what 'Ye is going for with this track and the whole album, in general, and it should be fire. Hot fire, man!

New CDs In My Collection

My collection is growing stronger. Before, cds I bought were either of hip hop or house genres. Though, I still get my ocassional hip hop or house cd, but I am veering off the usual path and going into some pop rock stuff.

Two cds that I just bought were the new Jarvis Cocker cd and the solo debut of Albert Hammond Jr, he's one of the band members of The Strokes. The one with the jewfro. Anyway, two really good album. Especially the Albert Hammond Jr album. It's a little bit more of a slowed down, softer edge strokes album. The Jarvis Cocker album is the same old Jarvis Cocker album. But he delivers everytime with witty lyrics and great music.

Anyway, pick these albums if you want to explore some new music and you just want to grow up.

UFC:71 LIDDELL VS. JACKSON

Photo Courtesy of UFC.COM

I was originally not going to buy this PPV match, but I gave in. $39.99 bucks and I think it was worth it. Anyway, liddell and jackson was a good fight even if it did last for a minute and a half. But there was at least two good fights on the card. The Parysian fight wasn't bad and the houston alexander vs "the dean of mean" keith jardine wasn't a bad fight either. I know, I complained about the main event being too short, but this fight was a complete shocker. Jardine just did not take Houston Alexander seriously, and he paid for it. He got beat senseless and Houston just punched till his mouth guard came out. Anyway, this will probably be the only PPV match that I see from UFC this year. Until the Dan Henderson match with Quinton Jackson or when the PRIDE FC fighters start coming into the UFC for bouts, then I might order again. Come on Shogun Rua and Wanderlei Silva! Come and destroy the competition.

Yeah...I know...stop hating

Anyway, I just got through a few months of freshening up the clothing range. School's over, so it's finally time to have some fun. Going to work on a lot of shit this summer. Time to be productive. I know, it's the same shit different day.

Stones Throw - Chrome Children Vol. 2

Check out this album by stones throw, which they allow to be downloaded for free on the net. It's not a bad album.

Madlib & Talib Kweli - Liberation

What else is new? Hip hop music is seeing a resurgence of sorts with new releases by mainstream, old-school minded artists such as Nas and Jay-Z. The remedy is coming. With word of an upcoming joint from Mos Def and Pharoah Monch, hip hop is staging a crazy comeback.
Something that was overshadowed over the christmas break is the EP of Madlib & Talib Kweli. Talib Kweli has tried to hit the mainstream bubble with little puncture, but he is still probably the best MC this side of the pacific. Madlib will always be Madlib. Beats that are so dirty that they are actually pretty clean.
Anyway, go get this EP and reactivate hip hop.

Late...but whatever. Have a great 07.

Have a happy Christmas

Celebrate the birth of Christ in fashion. Stay warm as possible.

Talladega Nights

Go get this! Ricky Bobby! Will Ferrell is a genius. Anyway, get this DVD peoples.

Dwell Magazine

Some people know me as a magazine whore. If it catches my eye and is relevant to my interests, then I will drop a nice, crisp 5 dollar bill on it. Dwell magazine is a very cool, very hip version of Better Home & Garden.

Oh, forgot to say, hip hop is dead

Welcome back, folks. Hip Hop is dead, sad to say. But like lazarus, it's coming back. Welcome back, Nas.

Instant Winner Military Hat

I just went by Premier Boutique after work. Not much, just hanged out with some dudes. I bought a acapulco gold tee. The tee is the parody on the high end clothing lines out there. Can't afford the real shit, so I buy the parody. Also bought a Instant Winner Cap, or sorry, military hat. Same shit. Anyway, I like the shit. If you live in San Jose, or the south bay in general, come around to premier boutique. They got some hot cakes over there.

Kaibutsu

Devour & Conquer

Devour & Conquer
Can I get it?
Yes you can. Oh, Devour & Conquer
