Today’s Lesson: Update the blog when ever you can, such as I’m doing now in my financial institutions accounting class. I should be paying attention to amortization theories, but for some reason it feels more satisfying to talk about pumpkins, Korean food, and Alife shoes.
Johan from 3sixteen and El Mercado,
Johan’s originally from the bay, but he now resides on the outskirts of Compton. Besides being the buyer for El Mercado he also pushes 3sixteen to the fullest. Their new reverse denim hats are hotter then “The Soft Tofu Kim Chi Bowl that I ordered”.
All that i can say is, where can i get one!?
I made Sharon’s dreams come true! who new the way to a girls heart is pumpkins????
Josh is wondering whether to trade his Alifes for “the pumpkins” and “a broken $600 slip on”…decisions like this are tuff at 4am, outside of sparky’s ,right before you order a double stacked chili cheese burger with a side of reallllly realllly bad service.
After a long delay…they figured it would be best if Sharon kept “the pumpkins” and Josh got the “broken slip on” for his left shoe. 
Meet my good friend Sunny. He’s blind. A successful business owner and tech consultant. He once had his sight, but fell to an illness,
Good news…A cure has been discovered. He will soon be having surgery to get his vision back. He’s going to be in for a surprise. For the last 2 years that I’ve known him, he has assumed that I’m black. This should be fun!

The homies of Brooklyn Circus came to the Bay. Great guys with good ideas and style.
Driving in downtown is great, because it takes 10 mins to cover on block, so its a perfect time for filling up a 2GB memory card.

Today’s Lesson: European Adidas Skate Team X 24 hour APPLE store in NY????!!!!!
So I meet up with my homeboy Alex Hansen because he’s been playing tour guide for “some” skaters from Germany, France, and Spain…
We end up grabbing a bite at 7A - yum (too bad i didn’t have any batteries for my camera, or it would have been a nice picure opt) and then we all headed over to try to get some shots of Marcos, Antony (ALIEN), and Raul (LRG) all from Barcelona - crazy skills!!!!
While there we see some nice street art…
This is “Yasha” from Deutscheland (totally butchering the spelling btw!) and Jeremy also from Deutscheland (Adidas)
Wondering how i got pics if my camera doesn’t have battery?!?! Thanks to Sem (Barcelona), i was able to take some pics bc he gave me a few batteries - here’s Sem prepping for the shots…
AND THEN… here comes the most random part of the night…
we’re driving and the boys still wanna skate (its already 12 midnight) so they end up calling Anthony - a skate filmographer here in NY - he tells us to meet him at - GET THIS: A 24 HOUR APPLE STORE!!!! WTF?!?!?
Apple’s looking all spiffy with its lights and shiet…
So there, we meet up with Anthony (handling business as usual - to the left), Antony and Raul - crazy SPANISH skaters…
For me, this was the most random night ever… skaters and apple store - who woulda ever thunk it?!
Here’s Adam from DC (R-L), Kevin, and Johnny (???) - damn, i’m sooo gonna hear it 

here’s Yasha, Lem Villeman, and Tustin (Adidas) - Lem, is only 16 and already pro! good kid, lots of potential all from Germany
Yea, that’s me in my MAMA gettup and alex - photo - courtesy of Antony Lopez (Alien/Adidas) - he made me fork the camera over…
