I don't want to spoil all the fun but I thought I'd fill you guys in on some of the action. Im excited to see that SA is growing and accepting the Street Culture more and more. Labels like this provide vast avenues for people to be educated about the subculture. So peep Remix and stay on your toes for the release and drop dates! Check out their blog REMIX

Kicks of the Day

No time...Make time!

Yea man, it's hard enough tryin to "do what it do", but how do you do...when it don't? Like, nike and JUST DO IT! Took a five day trip out to vegas, two days back in diego, five days in texas, then had to move out in two days!!! Can it be done? The Lord made a way! Now, I'm havin technical difficulties tryin to upload my pix...but is that gonna stop me? Nah!
What tripped me out was whenever I go to vegas...things are nonstop, things are just so fast i can't keep up. Didn't even get a chance to catch my breath and we were off to texas, where I was able to catch my breath, take a few naps here and there, and even got a chance to throw down in the kitchen,(which is my passion)...because, it's a blessing to see others enjoy my labor. Spent some goodtimes with family and friends...then back home to diego!
That was a whole 'nother can of worms, but it was a blessing to see my wife just stress free in a stressful situation. So we're done movin, dealin with the aftermath...will post pix! Laters.

GRUB EDUCATION. "BOBA TEA"(bubble tea)

The distinctive characteristic of bubble tea is the presence of chewy translucent balls of pearl gelatin (that sit at the bottom of the glass). Usually the pearls are "large pearl," larger than the "small pearl" that is customary in tapioca pudding. Cooked, large pearls have a diameter of at least 6 millimeters. Occasionally, "small pearl" tapioca is used. Both sizes of pearls are available in a variety of colors. The pearls boiled in water for 25 minutes, until they are cooked thoroughly but have not lost pliancy, then cooled for 25 minutes. After cooking they last about 7 hours. The pearls have little taste, and are usually soaked in sugar or honey solutions.
Bubble teas are generally of two distinct types: fruit-flavored teas, and milk teas. However, some shops offer a hybrid "fruit milk tea." Milk teas may use dairy or non-dairy creamers.
The original bubble tea consisted of a hot mixture Taiwanese black tea, brown large pearl tapioca, condensed milk, and honey. As this drink became more popular, variations were created. Iced versions appeared soon, and came along green bubble tea which uses jasmine green tea instead of black tea. Peach or plum flavoring began to appear, then more fruit flavors were added until, in some variations, the tea was removed entirely in favor of real fruits. These fruit versions usually contain colored pearls (and/or "jelly cubes" as in the related drink taho), the color chosen to match whatever fruit juice is used. Flavors may be added in the form of powder, fruit juice, pulp, or syrup to hot black or green tea, which is shaken in a cocktail shaker or mixed in a blender with ice until chilled. Cooked tapioca pearls and other mix-ins are added at the end.
Today one can find shops entirely devoted to bubble tea, similar to juice bars of the early 1990s. Bubble tea bars often serve bubble tea using a machine to seal the top of the cup with plastic cellophane. This allows the tea to be shaken in the serving cup. The cellophane is then pierced with a straw. The straw may be brightly colored, and is oversize, large enough for sucking up the pearls. Other cafés use plastic dome-shaped lids.
Boba, are also commonly refered to as Bobo.

DURANGO, MEXICO MISSION TRIP

I joined 10 men on a brief missionary trip down to Durango, Mexico. It was overwhelming on every sensory level, even to the heart. We had no idea what to expect, since none of us have ever been here. We heard the stories of the Mexican drug cartels, the gun fights, and how the main trafficking routes run through Durango because of it's central location in Mexico. None of that mattered, we were safe the entire time. All we wanted to do was share the love of Jesus with those less fortunate. In the end, we were the ones who were blessed. What a great way to put things in perspective...

MICROSOFT SECONDLIGHT

My work is dominated by open source development and all of it's biases (read: Anti-Microsoft). My specific area (Data Warehousing) is predominantly made up of the Microsoft BI toolset. Me personally, I don't really have a preference. I will say this though..Microsoft's surface technology is craazy! I'm sure Google Maps is upping their game as you read this..
