Hey yall, time for a full entry... Ready? ? ?
What constitutes a good burger? Is it the just right buns that are perfectly grilled to give you that crispy fresh taste? Is it the oozing cheese that dribbles down the sizzling, savory meat? Or could it be the special sauce that looks and tastes like Thousand Island dressing but seems to have a few more thousand somethings in it? Well, maybe it's the combination of all these things. I think all my fellow Californians and other privileged West Coast states will agree when I say In N Out Burgers are just something best expressed using one's taste buds.
Now, for everyone unfamiliar with In N Out, you can order a variety of other things not found on the menu, like grilled cheese sandwiches, a burger or fries done 'animal style', or you can opt for the ultimate meat lover's fantasy- the freedom to choose how many patties of meat you want to devour. Most people have either tried or heard of a 4 X 4. The guy I'm about to tell you about had one before concluding it just didn't do it for him. He needed something more satiating. I don't know why he came up with the figure 16, but I think the number of washingtons in his wallet might have been a factor. This is the pictoral story of Jared Wagner ( the abridged version at least)
Time for the main course
Dammit, i should have brought more change for the tomatoes
My typical finger food
Last dip in the slaughterhouse
Who's your uncle? Oh crap, I feel a turtlehead coming

Jared Wagner's Homepage. If you look at the comments by other viewers, some of them tell him he is their hero while others vituperate and rant about how sick and full of *$#@&* this guy is. In my eyes, Jared is a warrior who deserves at least respect. Have YOU tried to finish more than two 4 x 4's in one sitting before? Don't forget to light three matches after you're finished with the bathroom son.

Last Saturday marked Susan Wei's 25th birthday and we spent her "quarter-life crisis" playing broom-ball at Pasadena's ice rink. Man, that brought back memories of my freshman college days, and as silly as it seems, broom-ball is still pretty addicting, especially when you have a gang of heads playing together. It was good times for all. Happy Birthday again Susan, if you're reading this. Your get together was therapuetic for me.
Next in line, we have a special for today folks. A special photo from the east coast - My friend from daygo, Mr. Aerie Lin (bottom right), with Chinatown's very own Petey Pablo and a young Woody Allen. hahaha. Ima visit you sometime before you are done with grad school Aerie, I can tell you that. Until then, keep pimpin it with the masses.
Today's entry had a lot of pictures and not too many words. But this way I can omit several things going on in my life and you still wouldn't know better cuz the pictures and stories would distract you. In fact, I can bet half of you aren't even reading this right now because you've scrolled down to see today's girl. blah blah bleh bleh bleh... for those that are still reading, let me introduce the next girl. Big baller dance machine Ryohei Kamata, holding the fort down in Tokyo, introduced this Japanese eye massage to me so that I could introduce her to all yall out there peeping Tom-ing my site.
I don't know much about her, other than the fact that her name is Yui Ichikawa, and she's a model and a singer. That and she's been on a good amount of magazine covers over the past couple of years. As for her singing ability, call me a cut-down tree cuz I'm stumped; never heard her voice. I regret to say this, but generally speaking, a lot of Japanese artists out there are signed not according to their talent, but based more on their looks. But shoot, if the average artist look like this, my ears would gladly take one for the team. Aight, till the next time people.
