This week we made two scores! I got a orange rusty 65' Schwinn Varsity for $30 and a 70s women's Puch for $10!!!! Puch has a rich and interesting history dating back to the late 1800s and we were super lucky to get it! Last night we went for a ride! If anyone wants to go for a ride let's do it! YAYAYAYAYAY! If you want all the pictures, heres the link to download. Okay now for some news

One of the Iranian officials/advisors of 'art' recently went bezerko about the movie "300" because of it's insult to the Persians. First of all, everyone that has anything to do with America and Iran is an insult to them. Because Iranians don't like Americans. This is just my opinion...moreover the movie was awesome so that probably blinds my judgement and I am ethnocentric, yet again. +It's just a movie, we make WW2 movies all the time. Come on! George Bush Sr. is in Cali golfing in Palm Springs and he passed out. 90 degree + lack of water = it will do that to you. But he is doing well cause he has the best medical coverage I'm sure. 82 and going strong. Ford is making a pink car to get women drivers to drive it, as well as supporting Breast Cancer! Viacom is suing Youtube/Google for intentional copyright infringement. A beginning to no end I'm sure, but $1 bil is quite a chunk to start with. Sylvester Stallone is in trouble for smuggling hormone drugs into Australia. Okay idiots, he is 61 and promoting Rocky Balboa, how is he supposed to stay huge? He isn't smuggling it for a profit, he is just going to shrink if he doesn't have some supplement, COME ON! McDonald's might start to carry Pepsi, which could be a good idea, oh wait that makes American children hop onto diabetes II also. Starbucks is aiming to 40,000 more stores. CEO Donald says thats 6 shops and 350 new employees per day. Wow.

I think I want to get back into taking pictures. My friend Tim just got a new digital slr for his wife. How rad. The trees below were taken just yesterday at a nameless park in Placentia, My home town 2.0 for the past couple years. I've always liked biking passed those trees. So there they are. Yesterday William and I scored big. There was this really nice guy selling a Greg Lemond Elite 10 speed roadbike for $30!!! WHAT?! He looks confused in the picture...where's waldo haha. And last night everyone spent sometime riding it, and they all rode it comfortably cause they have longer legs. I think I am going to get a yellow or orange colored bike on Sunday, we'll see. Playstation 3 is doing a Second Life type of thing now. If you dont know what Second Life is, click it. Sony is going to offer it to all PS3 owner/subscribers. I think it is gonna be huge! It's like myspace + visual representations of yourself (avatars) in 3D with shopping, apartments, live conversation and sharing of personal media. "Home" is going to be the next big thing. In game ads and I think it's gonna be a machine of success.
If you haven't heard, the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, seemingly pragmatist, for some reason decided to make some seriously idiotic PR moves and tell the world tha Japan is NOT sorry for comfort women and brothels during WWII. Women from China and Korea were taken from their homes, put into these brothels in Japan for the Japanese army during WWII. You can imagine the stories are HORRIBLE! This does not help Japan's asian neighbor relations. That guy needs to reverse and just apologize. Why would anyone want to just start crap? But I am not from Japan, they must have one hell of an argument. I only know the side I can see with my own perspective. egocentric? or just Abe is gone nuts? Link here for more.
