The Art Institute is located in Costa Mesa, CA. A few weekends ago they held an event to promote their college programs, as well as, hand out scholarships to their devine students of Design. Between the student gallery, live art exhibitions, a skateboard demo, fashion show, and culinary delicacies, there was plenty to do.How I ended up here was due to my fiance setting up the skateboard course

In my opinion sushi takes the cake when it comes to a dining experience. Between the green wasabi, rainbowed strips of raw fish, and shots of sake, it is worth every cent. But, there are always exceptions to the rule.For instance, I've had to settle with the fact that Arizona sized portions of sake are very small (due to the strict drinking laws around here). A bottle of sake is 6 to 8oz.

There is something beautiful about watching my bank account whittle down with absolutely no income coming in. For some reason I am not worried. Maybe it is the sheer fact that I have never been ahead anyway... even when I had the full-time job with benefits. Or maybe it is faith, knowing that God always meets me where I am at. Speaking of, Dirt City Zine has started a new chapter based out of

There's the man who just moved onto the southern corner of one of the busiest intersections in downtown. Every morning I see him hesitate before he stops peddling as his bicycle makes its way across the greenly-lit white lines. It makes me think about how if he doesn't peddle, then he's really not even trying to make it across that street...like he's waiting for a car to knock that metal out from

I have been thinking this more and more lately....how much energy is wasted thinking about what's already been, trying to climb out of a past that only exists because I keep repeating it in my mind. In other words, not living out and making new the present moment. Look at MySpace, I challenge you to go delete one photo from your album...which you are present in. Believe me, you'll get a feeling

"You're thinking of all-you-can-eat Krystal criss-cross, chili cheese fry and an Ex-Lax. Now that's rewarding and exhilarating.

The carrot at the end of the stick which was formerly known as "the American dream" has been replaced by a whip that can best be described as the American nightmare of homelessness, and slow, early death.

Under the original bidding law, if you submit a design, you can not be involved in the bidding to build. Unfortunately, Team Pain donated the ramp plans for the new NSB Skate Park, so they would have been cut out, which could have potentially left who knows who to demolish a great design.Luckily, the city engineer and my dad, who is an attorney for NSB, pushed a proposal for a design and build

Many of you may recognize the name Robert Gamble from the old “church shows”, as he used to coordinate all the bands to come and play at First Presbyterian Church. As much as Bob enjoyed breathing in the youthful spirit of the East Coast music scene, he needed a break from the social mores of his life in the United States, and the pulpit. So, he traveled to Odessa, Ukraine, where he would visit

Last weekend, Dug and I took a trip to Tampa, and one of the missions was to find the Bro Bowl, which is in danger of being extinct very soon. Despite the fact that neither of us had any sense of how to get around Tampa, with its dead end streets and lanes that leave no option but to turn, we eventually fell upon it. The Bro Bowl starts at length, at the top of a hill, and then opens its

This is an idea to cover up something ugly, or just reinvent something old to something new; for instance, a surfboard.1. Pour liquid soap onto the object 2. Spray paint wherever you want3. Spray soap off with hose.4. The soap acts as a negative effect, so you come out with a cool design.
