thanks to anyone and everyone who has ever taken an interest to this blog. your messages and comments kept me posting. however, i'll be signing out now as i've taken an interest in other subjects of stronger interest that require more of my time.

in the meantime.. i've transferred my food related posts to tequilappetite.blogspot.com. In case my fingers get itchy to blog about something, what better subject than to talk about food right? It'll be a tribute to the fat man living inside of me.

ciao, my friends!
happy blogging.

the shadows of fred eerdekens

2010-10-27T22:47:00.000-07:00

British artist, Fred Eerdekens, uses a variety of everyday objects from the world around us to unveil hidden messages that lie within these objects' shadows. I think this is the first time I've seen shadow manipulation in the form of art.

Wait, actually no.. scratch that. Naruto. Most definitely.

kaskade @ the hollywood palladium

2010-10-10T14:46:00.000-07:00

A couple of my friends went to see Kaskade in concert last night at the Hollywood Palladium and we had a freakin' blast!! Although I'm not too fond of his Dynasty album that was released this past May, I do really love the second track, "Don't Stop Dancing." He played an awesome set, but I really don't even remember what I heard. I was not sober enough to care. All I know was that I was really enjoying my time. He did end the night with 4am, which was awesome! That's the only song I remember actually haha.

Thank you for last night, Kaskade.

audrey kawasaki - australia nov 2010

2010-10-05T12:35:00.000-07:00

Audrey Kawasaki has an upcoming solo exhibition in November at the Outre Gallery in Australia. Who isn't excited to see her work? It's so easy to fall in amazement for her gentle renderings of innocent and beautiful girls caught in a state of mystifying sexuality and femininity. Wow, that was kind of a mouthful.

the art of howard schatz

2010-10-02T14:06:00.000-07:00

Howard Schatz is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work is exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He has won numerous awards and can be proud of his many publications dating back to 1990. Schatz is a well rounded photographer, capturing still life, motion, light, events, portraits, newborns, and much more. Check out his portfolio if you have some time. This is really great stuff that kept me entertained for a while. I went through all his photos in his portfolio and picked out a few that caught my eye.

Tiki Barber

There's something about pregnant women that I find very comforting.

alexa meade's deceivingly realistic art

2010-09-30T22:32:00.000-07:00

23 year old, acrylic painter from Washington, DC, Alexa Meade, has worked on some projects that are truly unique. Rather than painting portraits with acrylic on canvas like most painters, she applies acrylic to actual subjects, blending them into her paintings and essentially making the true subject disappear within his/her environment. Below are a few photos of her amazing work along with a short 2 minute video clip at the end of the post. Alexa explains what it is exactly that she's trying to accomplish:

"I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. The models are transformed into embodiments of the artist's interpretation of their essence. When captured on film, the living, breathing people underneath the paint disappear, overshadowed by the masks of themselves."!

Spoken like a true artist. I love this.

Below is a 2 minute video clip of Alexa Meade, letting us sneak a peak into her world of art.

world class fitness in 100 words

2010-09-28T21:40:00.000-07:00

Fight Gone Bad V was this past weekend held at the Sony Studios in Culver City Saturday morning. Over 6,000 CrossFit participants nationwide endured 17 minutes of a workout from hell in our effort to raise nearly 1.5 million dollars for the Live Strong Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project.

CrossFit founder Greg Glassman on world class fitness:

"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports."

The setup:
10 Pits, 5 crossfitters each, 4 levels of difficulty, 17 minute workout

1 minute row, 1 minute wall ball, 1 minute sumo deadlift high pull, 1 minute box jump, 1 minute push press (AMRAP - as many reps as possible)

Rest 1 minute. Repeat for a total of 3 rounds. Take down your score.

[267, Class C]

No Pain. No Gain.
