Hustlin'


Never under estimate a hustler...one of the guys who hustles whatever products offered me 2 bottles for $10.00, what did I say? "SOLD!"

Fuck sleep, Never say NO, NEVER



Ok I fucked up! So i get a call from a friend of mine telling me he needs me to come out and help him with these two girls. I tell him "Bro, I'm tired, but....naw I'm tired..."

Fuck that never again, this is what the hell I missed last night....





Happy Holidays...and never say no!

Missing, Please help!



This is my Blackberry, 2 weeks ago the back battery cover went missing, if anyone knows where the fuck it went, or how I can get a new one, please help!

and yes before the questions start coming, it was after a good Friday night...

Suprised...



We just got some Cheap Monday denim at the shop, I must admit they are pretty nice, still breaking them in though....

WESC Hoodie

By far my new favorite hoodie! From WESC and we got them at Kickballers, check the blog, and here is the LINK

Swarovski DJ Headphones???


These things are by far the ugliest fucking headphones I have ever seen! What the hell where they thinking? I swear if I ever see any of my homies who DJ wear these I will not hesitate to smack them! Guys stick to something good like the Skull Candies or WESC headphones. Speaking of WESC Headphones here is Diallo rocking a pair of them while he spun at FLY the night before Thanksgiving. I don't recall taking this pic, but then again, I was twisted!

superFishal 2007 Collab Series Skateboard decks







With each season, artist Jeremy Fish will produce and release three limited edition skate deck graphics as part of his superFishal brand. The concept is meant to have two artists with differing styles converge into one graphic. This first Collab Series includes artists Pushead - "The Music" (8-1/4), Todd Bratrud - "The Mermaid" (8) and Michael Sieben - "The Mushrooms" (7-5/8). Each deck is made by local San Diego deck manufacturer Watson Laminates with decks limited to 500 per graphic. The decks are currently available in all Upper Playground retail outlets.

Jeff Koons Rabbit for Thanksgiving



Years ago, New Yorkers may have seen a giant Puppy towering over their Rockefeller Center, this year New Yorkers were shown more of Jeff Koon's work, this time in the form of his Giant Silver Rabbit, which was used as part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The figure is owned by Macy's and is expected to be used in future parades by the retail giant, for Koon's fans you may be familar with the backround of the Rabbit, in 1986 Koons created one of his more famous works, a 3 foot high Mylar Easter bunny cast in highly polished stainless steel(see below), this is simply its return.

Text : I will take one large cheese pizza please....


Popular pizza chain Papa John's has launched a text message ordering option at 2,700 US restaurants that allows customers to text their orders in to a local franchise. The company has been using an online ordering service since 2001 and claims web orders account for nearly 20 percent of its US sales.

Domino's Pizza has also started a system that allows hungry customers to place orders from web-enabled cell phones and PDAs. According to AP, the ordering system is available at about 3,000 Domino's locations and will spread to all of the chain's 5,100 restaurants next year.
