Sorry world, I was bangin Heidi Klum again and seemed to have made Southern California move. No need to worry, she's ok.
It's funny how when an earthquake hits Southern California, everyone tends to freak out. Now the rest of the news headlines for the week are going to be "Earthquake Tips for the Home (Are You Prepared?)" "Minor Earthquakes-Sign of the "Big One"? (Are You Prepared?)" or anything else with (Are You Prepared) in it. The good thing about California are that earthquakes are quite frequent as of lately. That means big savings for us. How's that? Well with earthquakes, it's a ride in itself so you wouldn't have to pay for Disneyland of Knotts Berry Farm to get on a Roller Coaster. I think the only time I would ever want an earthquake to hit is when I'm making sweet passionate love to someone. Then as things are being knocked off of the cabinets and dressers, she'd think it was me and not the Earth's plate moving an inch or so.
Oh earthquakes, you sure are something...
UPDATE: ABC 7 is reporting that the 5.0 quake was centered in Inglewood. Correction ABC 7, it was actually center in my bed!! NAILED IT!

He's just not that into you...
Alright...it's like 12:30 and I just came back from a double date. I'm
just gonna go out and say this...please no one ever set me up on blind
dates or ask me a favor to go on a double date with you because after
tonight, if I don't know the girl I won't go on the date. So after
about two weeks of me talking about how I kinda miss dating, my buddy
Ryan asked me for a favor. No, it wasn't to take him on a date
(although I'm gonna have to question his sexuality after seeing him
wear that Affliction shirt and answering "yes" as to how cool Ed Hardy
designs are.). Apparently this chick he wants to date aka get jiggy
with (are people still saying that?) won't go on a solo date until she
does a double date first. Here's where I come in. So lucky me and
thanks to my big mouth and him persuading me that "it's ok her friend
is hot", I decided to go. So as him and I drive to go pick them up, he
starts telling me his gameplan. In case you don't know guys, our
gameplan is usually get you drunk then see where it goes. 80% it's
nowhere unless your name is Dave Sanchez. So then here's the
kicker...he starts telling me that I have to help him look good by
affirming the lies he told her. Those lies consist of his
volunteering for the elderly, him knowing people in the music
industry, and how he wrestled a bear once. So we meet the girls at
this restaurant and I'm introduced to them. Now my "date" for this
evening was actually extremely pretty. That's a first for a blind
date. I start to think to myself "Hey this ain't so bad" until I over
hear this chick say "Oh I love Heidi and Spencer. They are so cute and
talented". Strike one. In case you didn't get it, she's talking about
that douchey couple from the hills. That guy has a flesh colored
beard...what's so good looking about that? So we talk a little bit and
it turns out the girl Ryan is seeing is big on nature, helping old
people, and is trying to become a singer. Who isn't nowadays? I guess
that's when he motioned me to tell this courageous tale about how he
wrestled a bear to save a campsite of Cub Scouts. So like any good
wingman I sold it. So after this chick starts eating it up, he tells
my date how I'm a stand up comic. This girl starts screeching loudly
about how she loves funny guys then starts asking how much I make from
stand up. So I just kind of say I do ok and she cuts me off asking me
what car I drive. That's when it hit me, this chick is a gold digger.
I tell her I drive a G6 and her face erupted with a luminous smile,
kind of like that time I rocked Heidi Klum's world back at Cabo '94.
She asks "since you drive a foreign car, is the steering wheel on the
other side". I look at Ryan kind of perplexed and I inform her that
its a Pontaic and not a foreign car. There goes the smile. So after a
long dinner full of celebrity gossip and how Rodeo Dr. is getting
swamped with tourists, I start thinking of a plan to McGuiver my way
out of the date. I excuse myself from the table to try and text
friends for an excuse then all of a sudden I hear "Who are you
texting.". I turn around...and its gold digger McGee. I tell her im
checking the scores of the baseball games and she just starts rambling
on about how much she hates baseball and sports. So we both head back
to the table and shes still rambling on about what she hates which
include the homeless, guys who dont pay, and hard cupcakes from
Spinkles. So she starts telling how hard this cupcake was and I look
at Ryan and I say "thats what she said" and this girl has no idea what
Im talking about. We try to explain the joke but she still doesn't get
it. After the Millionth time of explaining it, she tells us she
doesn't get video games either and particularly Rock Band. I'll spare
you the trouble of the rest of the ranting.

You're probably wondering what happened after. Well apparently she
really "likes me" and is a good listener. She wrote down her number,
but I proceeded to toss it out on the 10 Freeway. I don't care how hot
you are or how long it's been since I laid the love down on Ms. Klum,
I'm not gonna settle for someone with no personality nor someone who
doesn't get "Thats what she said". As for now, i got a free meal out
of Ryan so that favor is dead and gone ha. Time to practice waking up
at 3:33 again.

Life update and Angel Stadium Review!!!
Hey there everyone! So I'm knee deep in work dealing with a few projects under my belt. First one is The Letter Writing Project. I'm still busy writing strangers letters from all over the world and it's good to hear back from those of you who wrote back. Don't know how many of the people I write actually check my blog or found me through Twitter or Myspace, but it's just good to hear a good response.
Second, I'm in the middle of making a band. It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be ha, but I'm just having fun with it. Still looking for a singer a more members but it'll come when it comes. Here's the link to check out the site. I'm calling it Send Out The Search Party
Finally, I wrote a review for EventChaser. It's a site sponsored by Razor Gator.com where you can purchase Los Angeles Angels tickets. Needless to say, I LOVE the site. Here's where my review of Angel Stadium is at! Be sure to leave some comments and hey, even start an EventChaser account as well. Thanks for the support and write some funny stuff later. I'm working on some videos.

The Letter Writing Project- Week 2
Holy crapzilla this thing is blowing up like my mom's cooking. Well I got a TON of AMAZING response from people wanting to do participate in The Letter Writing Project. For the meantime, the new HQ of the ordeal will be at Myspace.com/TheLetterWritingProject. If you don't have a Myspace, go to the site anyways because I'm leaving it on Public view. Also, e-mail me at TheLetterWritingProject@gmail.com in pertaining to anything involving this cause. It's pretty gnarly that in one week alone, I've been getting a grip of e-mails.
Also, I want to just thank PassionforLetters.com, MissiveMaven.blogspot.com, and PostMuse. From you three I have gotten a few responses from your fellow bloggers and it's great to know that there are people out there still letter writing. Hopefully I can get the younger crowds to continue this whole thing.
That's it for now since I have to do a lot more stuff with this project. The more letters I send, the better this Project will get! Spread the word!

The Letter Writing Project- Day 1
What it do everyone? So I’ve been mumbling over this project that I have wanted to do for quite some time now. Plus, it’ll keep me busy while I have writers block on writing. Basically, I want to bring back letter writing.
Every year, there’s only one day that I actually get something hand written. As you can guess, it’s on my birthday. Although it’s not a thoroughly written letter, just having someone take the time to write something is pretty awesome. The only items we ever get in the mail now a days are bills, advertisements, and if you subscribe to this, Playboy. We hardly get postcards sent to us from our friends on vacations or even just from a family member writing a “Hey how are you? Johnny is in jail again and Mary Sue is pregnant at 18…again.” type of letter. It’s always done through e-mail, a text, or a picture message of Johnny being detained by the police. Well, I plan to bring back letter writing. Although I don’t have the greatest of penmanship or draw cute little hearts above my i’s, I want to start writing letters like the good ol days. Granted I was born in ’86 and the internet was hashed out by the time I was smart enough to Google boobs, I want to get this done.
So how am I going to do this? Well, I have no idea. I’ll probably just start promoting something on Twitter, Myspace, and the 18 friends I have on Facebook because I still don’t know how to look up people. Like all my other “ideas” I’m sure this one will fade out. Who knows though. It’s not like I’m setting up the World’s Largest Dodge ball game again or trying to start an indoor soccer team (both of those items are epic FAIL’s on my end) so maybe I can actually get random people who want me, some stranger and non-celebrity, to write them a letter. So if you want me to write you a letter email me at iBlogBetterThanYourMom@gmail.com with your name, address (or P.O. Box) and I will be sure to write you a random letter. It doesn't matter whether you live down the street from me, in the state of California, up in the boonies of Kentucky (I'm looking at your direction Andrew) or even in another country. I will write you a letter. If I’m rich enough, I’ll buy you return stamps so you can write back to me. I’m just a guy who wants to bring back the thrill of expecting a letter (other than a collection notice) in the mail again. I’ll be seeing you around everyone. Please if you can, pass on this site and the Letter Writing Project. Also if you can, write your friends letters. It'll make their day.

Best Site Ever. Check it out.
Hey everyone what is going on? Well finally after being a blogger and getting myself out there, I have finally been given a pretty sweet opportunity. As you know, I go out constantly to places all over California whether it is concerts, sporting events, or just new places. Thanks to this new site called EventChaser.com, they are giving me the opportunity to do two things I love. Those are going to new places and to be able to share my experience with everyone else.
Event Chaser is a blogging site sponsored by RazorGator.com where bloggers are given free or discounted tickets for different events and blog about the venues and nearby places to check out. Razor Gator is an online ticketing agency similar to Ticketmaster or LiveNation but only better. Not only do they have tickets for concerts and sporting events, they even have tickets to special event such as the upcoming Bamboozle Left and Theater Tickets.
When you get the chance, go click on the orange banner on the side of this blog. It will link you over to EventChaser.com where you can check the site out for yourself. Also, be sure to check out RazorGator.com as well the next time you want to purchase some tickets for the next sporting event, concert, or theater performance. For my first post on their site, I'll hopefully be going to the Angels vs Padres game this Saturday on the 4th. I'm stoked to work further with Event Chaser. See you around!

Side Note- Thanks for checking out my friend Anna's blog. I know most of you have sent me e-mails or already started going over there and leaving comments. So keep on giving her support at From London With Love. Thanks everyone.

Another Fine Morning...
Disappointment. That’s what I woke up with this morning. Earlier this morning while I arose to some tunes on my iPhone, I started freaking out. Not because I awoke to a tranny again but because I could see. When I mean see, I mean I had perfect vision without my glasses. I was jumping up and throwing my fists in the air like I just nailed Heidi Klum and had the biggest smile on my face. As I was running around outside trying to look at this new world with my 20/20 vision, my right eye started to get blurry. I started yelling “No no no no” then the left one was blurry again. I started screaming like Arnold in Total Recall with a bloodcurdling “NOOOOOOOOO!!” Needless to say I was devastated when I couldn’t see anything anymore. Then, my little dog Charlie walked over to me and licked my face then started barking to the floor. After telling him to shut up a few times I noticed something sparkling. It was a contact. I forgot that last night, like the nerd that I am, I decided to wear contacts instead of my glasses because my glasses fog up. That’s probably the nerdiest thing I can ever say on this blog. I really don’t get how I forgot about me wearing contacts. Last night I went to the gas station and saw a friend of mine. She kept saying how different I look without my glasses. I don’t get why everyone thinks people look completely different without glasses. If that was the case, I’d be dining and dashing everywhere I go. Once I get the check, I would just take off my glasses stand up and take like two steps from the table. Waiter “Where was the gentleman with the glasses?” Me without glasses “Oh that a-hole just took off. He started saying how you were never going to catch him.” Waiter “Son of a…” then leaves. I feel a lot more comfortable with my glasses on. Without them, I just look like a freshly crossed illegal immigrant with a bad farmers tan and snarky eyes. Plus I can do that dramatic removal of the glasses that Jim Gaffigan talks about. When chicks wear glasses, I just want to walk up to them and gently remove them, brush their hair to the side and say “You go be prom queen.” Then hand them the glasses back and walk away. Also, chicks in glasses look hot. That’s a fact. I saw it in National Geographic. Til next time. I need to get ready for school.

Ps. Totally almost forgot. Make sure to go read my friend Anna’s Blog "From London With Love". She just left a few days ago to London to study abroad and will be blogging and uploading photos on it. So go leave some love on her blog and if you’ve been to London, give her some pointers and hot spots. Holler.
