I woke up this morning before noon, and was out the door before Alison. It was then that I knew there was something fishy going on today. The LA skyline was leaning toward a red tint as I drove to Ming’s “Hard Copy” film shoot in Noho. I checked in with the blogoria and found [...]

My adventure all started with friendster in 1999. I briefly joined the social network until hearing that myspace was “much better”. I had heard foolish rumors that friendster was an east coast “thing” while myspace was a west coast “thang”. imagine that, a web coast rivalry, that’s just silly…. … but i had to go [...]
