A day after I arrived home in LA I headed to New York on a red Eye to help my Brother with Sales at the Trade Show for his business Bangkok Imports. I designed about 25% of the product line so I am very familiar with the products and I love Selling and I love NY. Any excuse to make a trip out to NY is ok with me. The only thing I hated about the trip was the weather because it was cold as shit.
The first day I arrived I ran around with my buddy Devin and took in the city sights on a double decker tour bus which was a first for me in NY. We went to China Town, Little Italy, and saw tons of other cool stuff.
The nest couple days I sold my ass off at the Show and hung out at night with friends from the show and I had a close friend come visit me from Boston too which was great. One of my brothers friends had a sick penthouse in Tribecca and we pre-partied a little bit at his pad one night and he had the cutest lil Dog I've ever seen named "Bear". I am not usually a big fan of small dogs but this little dude was awesome, not sure exactly what he was but he was full of life and spunky but not annoying. He would come over like a cat and just chillout with you and let you pet him. It really made me want one but it wouldn't be fair to it because I travel too much and wouldn't feel right leaving a dog with people while I run around the world traveling.
-Super Bowl Party-
Me, my Bro and a few others went to a cool Bar in Grenich Village for a Super Bowl party. It was all you can drink and eat for $50. We got trashed and watched the Giants beat the undefeated Pats in NY of all places. The streets were crazy afterwards and everyone was celebrating in the city. Good Times
-NY Knicks vs LA Clippers-
My buddy Devin bought us tickets to see the Knicks play my home town LA Clipps at the world famous "Madison Sq Garden". It was my first time at the Garden and was a blast. My brother had a ticket but couldn't go as it was the last day of the Trade Show and he had to start Breaking down. The seats weren't great but the game was because the Clipps won. It was a little weird and acqward cheering for the clipps by myself and I had a lot of angry NY fans mad dog me too. Both teams are kinda crappy this year but LA pulled it off.
All in all this NY trip was a lot of fun

Thailand Trip Jan 08
I recently took a trip over to Thailand to visit some family and friends. I arrived on like the 9thish and I must say January is the best time to visit Thailand because the weather is amazing. My Fathers birthday was in Late December and mine is January 12th so we celebrated ours together and xmas and New Years as well. I bought my Dad a ridiculously cool Espresso machine as he is a huge coffee fan.
My Roomie back home was in India visiting his family so he popped over and went with me to the Islands along with another friend. We headed over to Koh Samui and then straight to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon party which was on Jan 22nd. We stayed at "Tommy Resort" on "Hat Rin" beach which I frequent often when I visit the Island. The Full Moon Party was nuts as usual but there were a lot more people than I have ever seen there before, probably like 20,000 drunk fools ragging like crazy. Everybody at the Full Moon Party drinks small buckets full of whatever drink you like. Vendors line the beach and sell these buckets to the Party goers. But a little advice to the Full Moon Party rookie is to look at the bottles of booze you buy carefully and make sure they are sealed because they refill the premium Vodkas etc with crappier stuff. I bought my buckets from little convenience stores as they usually sell sealed bottles.
We had a great room very close to the beach and paid 2500 baht a night which is about $70. That's a lot to pay but we had 3 beds and arrived only 2 days before the party so we were pretty lucky they had a room at all. We met a lot of really cool people and had an absolute blast.
We all headed back to Bangkok and my trip soon ended:(

My Gay Night Out
Yes you read the title right! One of my roomies is gay and he had a big Bday bash at my house and had a few of his buddies in town for a couple days so they let me tag along clubbing with them. I must say it was a very interesting experience. I thought that a lot of guys would be buying me drinks and hitting on me but I guess I wasn't there type, lol.
-The Abbey in West Hollywood-
Our first stop was "The Abbey" on Santa Monica blvd in West Hollywood. Sunday night is Gay Night there and it was also like 95% Black so I was a double minority there. The club itself was amazing and I really want to go back when there is less cock floating around. I could tell that it was a spot for regulars because everyone seemed to know each other there. My roomies friends were cool as fuck and took me right in(no pun intended). The line was crazy as shit outside but it was an image thing as the inside wasn't packed when we finally got in but it soon got very packed. I was introduce to everyone as "The Straight Friend" all night so I think the word spread quick and that's why no dudes bought me drinks, next time I am going to say I'm Gay and see what kind of experience I have, lol. I noticed a lot of Old dudes running around which is kind of weird for a club scene, I later found out that they call the Old Gays "Daddy's" which I though was pretty funny. We bounced from there fairly early to head to Thai Town.
-The Study, Thai Town-
"The Study" was on Western and Hollywood basically and was jammed in between a Shady Motel and a Used Car lot I think. This club was pretty ghetto and was like 99% black, I felt a bit more out of place at this club because people there were grinding on each other pretty hard and there was actually a fight, I'm assuming over a dude. The fight was quickly squashed and we just danced and hung out(and NO I wasn't grinding on shit!). I got pretty wasted as there wasn't much else to do for me there but I had to try out a Gay Club one time . Gay Black dudes Love Beyonce apparently because when her songs came on it was like there anthem, kind of funny because they all knew the lyrics and sang pretty well(I guess that's one stereotype that is kinda true). We closed the club down and headed to Tommy Burgers for some Chili Intake.
I was very happy that I went out with them because they were a blast and funny as shit. I did expect to see more lesbians though but I did see a few Trannies, lol. Good Times bonding with my Roomie and I would def do it again.

My Mexican Cruise (Dec 16-24)
I have to say I didn't expect a cruise to be as much fun as this one was. My buddy Dipak is a working stiff and only gets like 3 weeks vacation a year and so we decided to take a cruise together and NO we are Not Gay!
-Amtrak's are Dope!-
We took the Amtrak train down to San Diego and it was a cool as experience. I had never been on the Amtrak and I made sure to bring some good reading materials which i didn't even pick up. We started early and met some cool ass people and drank a shit load of beers on the train ride over. Everyone was heading to a San Diego Chargers game cause the train drop them off very close to the Stadium. Great for Angels games too cause it actually stops right in front of the Anaheim Stadium. Wet the coolest Old couple on the train. Dick and Mary I believe was there names and they had been married for over 50 years and so so liberal and not stuffy at all. The old man has Parkinson's and is a bit slow on the outside but full of live and laughter inside. His wife was a riot and we were joking with her as if she were our age. Train ride was great and the rest of the trip just got better.
The Cruise we took was an 8 Day one heading for Acapulco, Zihuatinaho/Ixtapa, and Manzanillo. We arrive at the port and checked in and went straight to the bar for some celebratory Cruise drinks and we were drunk every night thereafter. We had no idea how cruises worked and for dinner we finally found our table and luckily had 5 cool ass single people at it. There was Adrian(aka smoky) and Ben(aka bunz) from the dirty south, Danielle and Michelle(cousins), Moises(aka CHE) and Dipak and I. We checked on a grip of alcohol and had our own lil bar in the room so you know we were drinking hard!!
The first night I was a wimp and very jetlagged as I had just returned from Europe the day before the cruise so I crashed out early. The nest day I woke to find Dipak rambling on about how much fun he had the night before(don't you hate it when you miss fun shit I sure do).
I played a crapshoot of a poker tournament in the morning and ran around drinking and met the coolest old dude alive Ron(aka Ronslezzy). Ron had crazy stories of how he hooked up with a 19 year old 8 months ago and gave her head(lol, old dudes call going down on a girl that i guess) and some other stories of banging Supreme Court Justices . He was instantly one of the boys and so we invited him to eat with us as our table wasn't full. Also on the 2nd day I met the hottest Mom on the Boat Michelle(aka Milfy) and her 19 year old daughter Vanessa(aka dmv). So almost every night we had the ultimate crew eating with us and hungout doing all kinds of fun shit together.
-Acapulco-
All of the boat's excursion trips were overpriced and seemed a bit lame so when we were at port we mostly just took the local sites in and walked around. We did take advantage of the Day at the Beach excursion with all of the boyz in Acapulco. Open bar at a very nice beach and boy did we drink. Shot after shot after Corona and Sol...it was great!!
I went parasailing for the first time there too for $30 after tipping and paying for pictures it came out o $60 but well worth it. I had just gotten a Beer before i went up to the guy to inquire about the Price of parasailing and he said he could take me up right then so of course couldn't leave my beer behind and I asked if I could take it with me. It was great being 100 feet up overlooking the shoreline and sipping my Corona very relaxing.
-Zihuatinaho/ Ixtapa-
Typical mexican cities here but we found a cool taxi driver and had him show us arounf the city for 1 1/2 hour and took some good photographs and ate some good Ceviche. The Ceviche place he took us to was just an old ass drunk parked under a tree with its bed filled with grub and drinks. Tons of local people were chilling on lawn chairs and leaning against trees. Now to me this is as authentic as it gets. I can't stand going to foreign places and just hanging with tourists doing tourist crap. It tripped me out because the guy was using Orange Fanta to make the Ceviche, maybe it's normal but i had no idea. After seeing some alligators and iguanas and other local shit we headed back to the boat.
-Manzanillo-
Reminded me of TJ and was a pretty ugly city but we found a cool Taco spot and ate a shitload of 50 cent Tacos and drank $1 beers. That's about it there...
-Boat's NightLife-
After dinner and even before we would all congregate at one of our rooms to get our drink on and some got their Smoke on too.
At night time on the boat all there really was to do was go to the One Disco/Club they had and drink and dance. All the people we met really made the trip awesome and we all partied like Rock Stars the entire time. Yes there were a few hookups on the boat but I don't like airing stuff like that on my Blog. I left out a lot of names of cool people we met but the trip was amazing and I highly recommend a cruise if you haven't done one yet.
-Return Amtrak Trip-
Again it was just a crazy ride, we drank a lot of beer from the drinking cart downstairs and met some really cool people. We had the Hot Mexican chick who was taken but was a fun person, the Crazy Black dude from NY who was funny as shit but kept talking shit to random people walking by and made us all a bit uncomfortable. Also another little cutie from UCSB came and sat with us and of course she was taken too but it was still a blast. I think that I am going to get like 40 of my closest friends and just take a trip down to an Angels or Chargers game on the Amtrak and pack a minibar in our backpacks very soon!!

Poker Gone Bad
A few days back I played in the lowest NL Holdem Cash game they had going here at the PokerStars EPT Ballroom which is aprox $6 Small Blind and $6 Big Blind min buy in was 5k crown which is like $300 US, no Max. This is a pretty big game for me to be in as I am used to playing in a $2-5 $100/$200 max buy in game. I gave it a shot and bought in for like $500 US.
I was doing ok minus one Donkey Ass who called my all in 2 pair with a Gut shot and hit(i want that kind of action though, +EV) but I still had some chips and managed to build my roll to just under a 1k. I was 2nd to act preflop with pocket aces and I know you've heard this a million times but I need to vent. Under the Gun (UTG) raises to $60 which was a normally preflop raise at this game so I pumped it to aprox $140 and the guy right behind me calls and so does the original raiser. Flop comes 772 rainbow and the og raiser checks and so there is aprox 430 or so in the Pot and I have like $750 behind. I don't think twice and I'm calling any bet here anyways so I push hoping to scoop the pot right there or have some dude with kk, QQ or whatever call which they would. Guy behind me folded and the OG preflop raiser calls. I just bought this fucker a beer too and was chatting it up so it hurt a little more than usual and this is also the biggest pot I've ever been in so that sucked too. He shows 7,10 for trips and of course no ace came:( I hear the worlds tiniest violin playing..don't you)

Prague Trip (Dec 8-14)
My buddy Bill hired his friend Ricky who made it to a final table a few years back in a WPT event to do some work for him on a few projects he has going on. They both decided that they wanted to play the Big PokerStars EPT Prague event and I agreed to tag along. I booked the flights for the 3 of us and last minute Bill decides he isn't gonna fly with us because he has a few things to do and will meet up with us. Bill never showed up and his Buddy busted out in the first 15 minutes with Aces cracked. To Make a long story short and to keep private things private Bill's friends bounces town.
I am now here at the Hilton all alone so sad ..........NOT!
Bill's friend had the smelliest feet of any one alive and I was sharing a room with him. The room is prepaid through a Poker Stars package and it includes, breakfast, gym and Spa access which I'm about to go and use before i checkout in like 6 hours and mad cash games to play. The rooms are very nice too but the internet is $30 a day which sucks ass.
I usually travel alone anyways because it's a headache to dispute about where to go, eat etc.
I have been getting a lot done for my projects and catching up on some good reading time and blogging too.
I did/visited the following things/places on this trip:
-Drank a knock off Budweiser brand that thy have here, wiki it cuz it's funny stuff
-Got more pages in my passport as I completely ran out on this trip
-Visited the Prague Castle(amazing stained glass windows and beautiful grounds)
-The Charles Bridge and Tower
-St Nicholas Church on Lesser Town(beautiful frescoes and a shrine to St Barbara in it which is the same St that my School and town is named after).
-The National Museum ( Narodni Muzeum) this place is like a real life "Night at the Museum" feel to it and is great fun for kids. It has thousands of stuffed creatures and birds and cool interactive Installations for kids to learn. It's like a great big Children's museum but Not if that makes any sense.
-Found a couple cool shopping malls and nice places to hangout and read a book.
-Gyro's here too, I love it yummmy:)
Over all Fun Trip only bad thing for me is that not very many people speak English. Lots of younger people do but good luck trying to make any sense of what the older locals are saying and vis versa.
Time to hit the Gym, Steam Room and Spa.

Amsterdam Trip (Nov 29-Dec 8th)
So I just got back from my worst losing Vegas trip ever and one of my best friends Bill IM'd me and said "Get your ass to Amsterdam i'll Pay, it'll be good for me to bounce ideas off you etc...". He has been living there for a couple months and has a really sick place that he is renting for way too much but that's my opinion. I am not one to pass up a free trip to Europe so I go.
My pockets are a bit low but he has wireless and I would be doing the exact same thing I already was doing but in another Country. I totally didn't take into account that it is the middle of Winter and it was Cold as hell. I am SoCal born and raised so I can't even stand 50 degree weather for very long. Also I found out that The Heineken Factory which is world famous is closed for renovations. I traveled Europe backpacking in 1999 with my bro and had very fond memories of The Heineken Factory:(
It was a great trip none the less and I visited/did the following places/things:
-Tons of Crazy Brainstorming sessions in Coffee Shops (i don't smoke but I had some good times in them though)
-Cool Ass Pub Crawl and met some great people
-Van Gogh museum( over 200 works by him and he is my favorite artist so very cool 4 me)
-Rijks museum( tons of Rembrandt's like the Night Watchmen and other cool artists' works)
-Wandering around getting lost eating mad Gyro's and Shoarmas
-Spending time with my old college Roommate Bill
