The big Hallmark Holiday is just around the corner. I, personally, have not had the “pleasure” of having a sweet someone in his life to spend this man-made holiday with. This year will be different, however, I do not even know where to start.
I know I want to make my special someone feel appreciated and cared for, but there are just SO many ways to go about it: Flowers can be a good or a bad thing… Dinner is a given, whether it’s home-made or reservation out on the town… Chocolate these days is probably not a great choice, but a yummy way to end the night.
I guess it all depends on what your partner likes.. Someone may like to be pampered at home with a clean house and a nice candle light dinner and some others may want to away from it all and stay at a hotel and be waited on hand and foot. Whatever the case, I’m sure everyone will appreciate what their partner has gone out of their way to set up for the night.
Knowing what I write here will be read by my special someone, I will not divulge what I have planned, but I know it will be well appreciated 
Valentines Day ..?
January 22nd, 2012Gym Attire… What’s going on in this world??
November 12th, 2011Okay… So I know that I may not know, exactly, what’s fashionable these days, but the stuff boys wear at the gym these days has gotten out of whack:
Today I was at the gym.. It’s a Saturday around 4pm. I walk in and see the regular “I’m gonna wear as little clothes as legally possible” guy. He’s about a little bigger than I am, muscular, and smooth as all get go. Honestly, Why not just go to Muscle Beach in Venice if you really do NOT want to wear clothes at the gym. I can understand wearing a sleeve-less shirt, even a tight tank top, but this “shirt” has barely enough material to make the sleeves on MY shirt. If that wasn’t enough, you continue down and notice the fanny bag around this hulk of a man’s waist which covers more than the shorts he’s wearing.. I understand that you have spend more than two dozen years working on your body, but honestly we can notice your body when you’re wearing you almost see-through white trunks at the pool, or even wearing actual gym attire
After doing cardio, I walk down the stairs and start my machines. After a set or two, a couple of guys come into view and start on the machine in front of me… One of them was wearing the complete opposite of the guy I just finished describing above. This guy was not a normal gym goer, but still didn’t stop him from wearing his work shirt, slacks, and shoes at the gym… Seriously?? I mean, at least he was wearing CLOTHES, but c’mon!
Lastly… Best or Worst, can’t really say but here it goes… I was in the main weight room and we’re doing bench presses and a group of guys walks past us. All of which I know from work, but there is one in the group which always catches my fancy, especially at the gym.. This time around there was about 9″ reasons why he’s catching my eye today… This guy sees a friend of his and starts talking just as I sit down on the bench to start the exercise. I see what looks like a small tumor on his leg and tell my friend, “That is no tumor… am I seeing things?” I can understand people who are religious with the gym, but to go RIGHT after having some fun with pump is probably not the time to go workout… I mean, it was just like the sun, whereas even when not looking at It, you know it’s there… Even after a few “adjustments” it still poked out periodically.
Even after all this, I understand the 24hr Fitness is not a runway, but at the same time it also isn’t a sex club or even an office building, you should still wear proper attire.
Don’t judge me when I say I went to Hooker Casino
September 18th, 2011On a day that couldn’t get any better after a 7-3 shift at work, driving to Downtown Disney, and not really sleeping much the night before, I end up joining a group of friend and head to Here Lounge’s Saturday Event named, “Hooker Casino”.
I didn’t know what to expect from the night, but I was told there would be free drinks so, needless to say, I agreed to head over with them. Here Lounge transformed into a mini version of a Vegas Casino (WeHo style) complete with 4 gaming tables, stylish bartenders and hosts, and the half naked go-go boys. The concept of the event is that you get a gaming token with each drink purchased. One token will let you play one game of your choice (Drag War, Roulette, Black Jack, or Slot Machine). Each game has 3 ways to win, but all the same prizes (Shot, Drink, Pitcher)
Here Lounge is a good place to see lots of eye candy, but when that gets tired and dull, there is the added bonus of playing games of chance This was Here Lounge’s first night and it seems that this could be a weekly event.

Best way to end a Birthday Week is on the Skewer
July 18th, 2011So my fun filled birthday week ended with a full day of work and workouts then dinner. After work, I went across the street to 24 Hour Fitness, did some cardio, then met up with a friend for a hike at Runyon Canyon.
We decided to head to dinner at SKW (formerly, Skewers). The place, itself is a bit small, just like the other businesses on the same street. We arrived just in time for Happy Hour, however, the HH menu was not very appeasing, but then again, we came for dinner. They have a full menu of different meats on a stick that come with two sides, for under $15. SKW also has a few non-skewered entrees to choose from. I didn’t think that the skewer meal would be enough for my growling stomach, but my friend’s dinner looked just as filling as my pasta dish.
The ambiance at SKW is potentially amazing. Since the location is a bit small, there isn’t much of an outdoor patio. We sat at a small table on the outermost row, and had a huge table of smokers to the west and a line of shrubs to the east… There is always foot traffic going back and forth on the sidewalk, so there is always a chance for people watching.
For the price of the meal you get: a filling meal, great people watching, and a nice scenic experience. As it was my first time at this location, I will definitely make sure I venture out to SKW again!
Starbucks is more than JUST Coffee…
June 20th, 2011In West Hollywood, residents and travelers alike are blessed with multiple places to get their morning/afternoon/evening wake-up… However, there is one in particular to which patrons do more than just purchase and bail: Starbucks on Santa Monica Blvd and Westmount Dr. is the busiest of them all.
Patrons here can spend anywhere from 1 minute to 7 hours here. Some come for just the coffee, some come to work on projects, screenplays, or their next encounter… If you’re looking to spend some time on the computer there, good luck finding a seat. Either people are having a small meeting, chatting with their friends, working on their computer’s themselves, or just chill-axing.
A good perk to relaxing at this location is the people watching.. all kinds of people walk in and out of this location: hotties, cuties, not-so-cuties, celebrities, then the straight people… hehe
The staff are always friendly and there to make your drink the way you want it, even if it takes the entire side of the cup to personalize your drink. (Triple tall, 2-pump, non-fat, no whip, sugar free mocha, at 190 degrees)
There is a multitude of reasons to stop by this wonderful shop, whatever YOUR reason is… I’m sure you will not leave disappointed.
