The Deuce Fo’

Hat tip to Joe Tall for stumbling across this really sweet song and passing it along. Despite the eyeshadow and mascara, I really like the song. I also enjoy drinking white wine in the sun, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Anyways, I just got back from CA and honestly it was a little bit weird seeing the Christmas lights wrapped around the palm trees and having 60° weather while at the same time CO is getting pelted by a blizzard. But the trip was actually a really nice break of pace and it was nice to see my uncles and my aunt while I was out there.

We all went out for a nice dinner at the Charthouse of Dana Point a really cool building nestled up on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. The food was top notch and it was really good to get in some time with my uncles, they’re awesome. Christmas day we packed up a picnic of my design and headed down for a lunch overlooking the beach. We found a really nice spot and it ended up being fairly warm and sunny.

We were parked out on the light green grassy area down the hill. The picnic consisted of some tapas-ish appetizers made with baguette slices and some combination of prosciutto, apple slices, pear slices, cucumber, red and orange tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, and an assortment of cheeses. We also had some shrimp and with cocktail sauce and brought stuff for sandwiches, but we were all too full by that point.

The following day, we went out on a dolphin watching boat ride. I thought that this was going to be pretty lame (it was 3 hours long), but it ended up actually being pretty cool. The dolphins come right up and swim along the side of the boat very playfully. I don’t know what it is about it, but there’s just something really cool about seeing them poke out the surface of the water and just cruise right under or next to the boat. It’s almost relaxing…

The catamaran has one of the front hulls replaced with a glass enclosure so you could get down in there and see them from underwater. The crawlspace area was really tight and only two people could fit down there at once and really only one person has a good view, but I managed to sneak in there right before we turned to head back to shore. Nice.

The rest of the time there was kind of spent casually hanging out, but it did allow me to get some serious reading done!

The 700+page Behemoth of Basketball is almost downed and should get finished up this week. Progress! After that, I have no idea where to start back on my huge list, that is perpetually growing…

And finally balance…

Things have been going well, and not well. I have been slacking, but it seems like things are falling into place on their own. Going to the gym on the regular is really helpful with that. I actually read something in Nate Green’s blog just a few moments ago that really summed up what I’m trying to accomplish (full post).

“My friend and mentor Alwyn Cosgrove once told me to replace the word “time” with “life.” It gives you a different perspective on the same tired excuses…’Cook healthy meals and spend time with my family? Who’s got enough life for that? I’m too busy.’  ’I don’t have enough life to relax and read.’” Really changes things around.

I think that I want to do all these things, study a bunch of different shit, read tons, cook a lot, work out, paint, and still have a bunch of fun… I mean, it’s good, but I honestly don’t have enough time to devote to all of these avenues as much as I’d like. The great part about it is that, when I do devote time/life to them is that I really seem to enjoy it for the most part and that makes up for not being able to always delve as deep as I’d like. So I think that that is probably the most important thing to consider with all this balance stuff–Get something out of what you DO choose to do with your time. It’s your life after all.

So that got me thinking about New Year’s Resolutions and it dawned on me that I should actually make some!

So here’s the tentative list:

• Paint at least 5 real pieces. Get it framed and hang some of that shit up!
• Read (FINISH!) 20 books for 2010. While my track record involves finishing a book every couple months I have given myself a great head start on this because I have about 16 books that I’m already part way through! FINISH HIM!
• Go boarding 10 times. I got myself a pass this year and I haven’t even used it yet. Worthless… To be fair, it has been frigid and sucked so far this year, but time to make moves.

That’s a lame list, but that’s what I’ve got for now that are tangible enough to write down and see whether I can accomplish them or not.

And to close things out… I have a new object of my obsession.

Hendrick’s Gin.

Look at it! It just exuuuuuuudes class and tastes delicious! It has that old school medicine bottle look, and a has been a crucial part to a good number of cocktails of my liking lately. It seems to go very well with cucumber as a garnish. God, that’s so fresh tasting together! Last night at a cocktail party, I brought that materials and made a Hendrick’s Press (The gin over ice, then with the remainder, 1/2 soda, 1/2 sprite.) and garnished with the cucumber slices and a pinch of fresh mint.

Perfect!

As promised, pictures from the Steuben’s Holiday Toy Drive/Party.

Holiday spritz.- Hendrick’s Gin, sherry, Aperol, lemon juice, Prosecco.

X-mas S’mores – Milagro Reposado Tequila, Sombra Mezcal, Cappuccino liqueur. It also had a small roasted marsh mellow on a stick across the top!

cOld Fashioned – Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, Griottes, Orange slices, Chai syrup, soda. Ended up being a *little* heavy on the whiskey!

Hot Buttered Pumkin – Sailor Jerry Spiced Nay Rum, Pumpkin, Jonesy’s Hot Buttered Rum Mix. Served warm. This one was sooooo good!

Winter Gin Fizz – Hendrick’s Gin, Domaine de Canton, Cinnamon Extract, Agave Nectar, Lemon Juice. This was possibly my favorite drink of the night. It was very tart, almost sour, but there was a very sweet sugary lemon coating on the rim that helped to balance that out well.

This is my friend Moe’s drink, Red Skies at Night – Sailor Jerry Spiced Navy Rum, Lillet Blanc, Lemon Juice, Egg Whites. There was a sugary, cinnamonny, stuff around the rim of each glass that she caramelized with a blowtorch (below).

And importantly, remember that all this fun and games is to help collect toys less fortunate kids in the Denver area. It ended up being a huge success and there were a LOT of toys there, this pic didn’t capture even half of what was there as they flooded over the booths and tables in the front area!

Again, it was awesome to get to attend a great event and I hope to attend next year as well and maybe see if I can get snuck into some other COBG events!

In other news, as an early xmas present to myself I finally went ahead and jailbroke my iphone.

This is what it looks like now:

It’s awesome. The first thing is the themes, I can have wallpaper now! This is the Mac OSX Snow Leopard theme. Some themes come with new icons for the standard and most popular aps (like all here are new except the “Settings” icon, which makes sense to keep as that’s the icon OSX uses). Also there’s a bunch of cool shit like tethering (using my phone as a modem), the 5 icon dock, Backgrounding (running multiple applications at once), a battery manager that can display the actual % left (like the 3G S does) and many more that I haven’t even checked out yet. There really aren’t many limitations anymore, I guess that there is even a jailbroken ap that allows you to use the camera as a video camera. Crazy. It’s weird that with all this potential, Apple still limits the native features. I’m sure that there are reasons for this like running multiple aps at once can drain the battery quickly and almost absurdly fast if you go out of control with it. I guess that that might be part of the reason why the jailbroken community continues to coexists, as an outlet for people that don’t just need the simple version.

Speaking of Xmas presents… This year we aren’t really doing the present thing, but on my holiday wishlist for myself…

Netflix – Time to join the 21st century. A lot of movies out there that I missed and now want to see. $10 a month for Blue Ray discs + streaming movies. Boom!

Some boots. I was recently told that while it works for some people, of which I am apparently one of, the dress shoes with jeans thing is widely misused and unfashionable. When I asked what the alternative was, I was told nice boots. While I will have to confirm this with my fashion consultant, it was intriguing and I looked into it. I think that I could pull off the boots and it would be a hell of a lot easier to dig my car out in the morning after a snow in some of these than in my current flatbottomed, no traction, dress shoes. I’m looking at one of these two pairs. Thoughts?

Wine – I need to get a case of wine again, it’s great to have on hand and I might be able to get hooked up. I’m open to suggestions, but I usually have the guys at the small wine shop down on the corner pick out some of their favorites.

Not sure what else is really on this list, not trying to be greedy, and I don’t have a lot of extra time to devote to other random shit, so that’s all for now.

For Xmas in general I’m headed out to CA for a long weekend with the aunt and uncles. I’m not sure how it’s going to go down, but I’ll post a report afterwards…

New sweet jams:

So going against my long-held axiom, I’ve begun to watch a reality show on MTV. My excuse? Simmons. That’s about it. Damn the man who has nothing to do all day but watch television, talk with athletes and celebrities, and occasionally write. But!!!! The Jersey Shore is almost indescribable…

Wow.

For certain people familiar with NJ and all that the Jersey shore has to offer, this tanned out, muscle bound, new haircut, floozy parade is nothing new. But for the rest of the nation/world… Wow. It’s like a car crash. It’s violent, raw, disgusting, and not something that I would want myself or a loved one to be a part of, but at the same time it’s wildly entertaining and I can’t look away.

Speaking of things that I can’t look away from… I was lucky enough to remember to catch (but not DVR) the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show!

Yes please.

I am always confused and amused by this (and fashion shows in general). A bunch of very attractive models wearing some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. Wings? That’s not sexy is it? I mean it is, but what are the wings/twigs/stars/any other ornamental accessory that requires more or less a harness to wear, really supposed to add to the ensemble? I could ramble on, but how can I really complain?

The winter is here in a big way. It was -10° this morning and I was less than pleased about this. However, that does mean that the holidays are in full effect and that means holiday parties! I was fortunate enough to attend a wonderful party put on by one of my favorite Denver restaurants, Steuben’s, which hosted the top bartender/mixologists from Denver and the surrounding area. It was put on as a toy drive/holiday party where bringing toys to donate for kids netted you drink tickets to try the showcase drinks. My friend who works at TAG, was there preparing one of her signature drinks, and was able to help me sort through the offerings to find some of the top drinks of the night. I will be uploading the full menu and some photos that I took of the event once I get the pictures off of my phone.

Also, have a few Ugly Sweater parties and some birthdays to attend coming up. I can’t wait to break out the egg nog, perhaps make some of my own… but I need to pick up a really solid ugly sweater, because the only “ugly” one that I currently own was one of my favorites that my dry cleaners destroyed. But the main thing is that it’s a great excuse for people to gather together and let loose…

My reading has stalled somewhat, but between the things that I really care about, I am getting almost all of them in there. Except painting. It’s coming up on a full year since I got my painting stuff set up (thanks for the xmas present Mom) and I have officially completed two pieces. Although my Kill Bill piece is finally done. I have a couple of other ideas that I really want to get onto the canvas, so I need to get some more supplies. I’ve been going to a really sweet event that that occurs every first Friday of the month. The Art Walk is a collection of galleries that all open up and people come through checking out all that there is to offer. Some offer treats, wine, coffee, hot cider, etc… and they are spread out across 5 or so blocks all along Santa Fe Drive here in Denver. Sooooo much art, a lot of it is just spectacular. Very inspiring.  I need to get my paint on.

Pictures to come.

I need to figure out some holiday gifts to get for my friends/myself. I loving finding good gifts for people, something unique, because it makes me much happier than just some generic meh. But I’m also a sucker for cool shit, so I end up getting myself xmas presents too.

-J

I’m still an animal! Grrrrrrrrr…

About to head out, but updates to come! This weekend has fucked my sleep schedule, but overall it’s been worth it.

I titled this after the song by Umphrey’s McGee, but I stumbled across this movie poster featuring a YOUNG Kiefer Sutherland. Dzzzzamn that’s a flashy haircut! Anyways… So New York is straight up ca-razy! I am not sure how you NY kids do it, but with that said, I honestly wish I had about a year to go and explore it all, and that probably wouldn’t even be enough.

The above is a very LARGE painting that a friend of mine from long ago created for Isaac Slade of the Fray (Major namedrop there!) But, it really encompasses my general thoughts on my trip. It was big. There is just so much humanity packed in there. I checked out downtown Manhattan (even though the whole thing is “downtown”) a couple days just wandering around solo. I was just impressed with how it all seems to work together… There are about 150million neighborhoods/areas of Manhattan and everyone there seems to know them all and know cool bars/restaurants in particular sections. But the problem is that there are so many cool places I have no idea how you would ever go finding out about them. I’m just kinda rambling now, but there is really so much variety that I could live there for years and never get to experience them all, but that’s part of the joy of it I suppose… Finding a place that you like an identify with and can come back to again and again.

But pish posh enough musing and time to get down to some real details. So what happened!?

Cask Festival – A Brooklyn bar held is annual (?) cask festival where they crack into casks (mini kegs) of small batch brews. It’s as fresh as it gets and overall delicious! I have been on kinda an IPA kick lately and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and variety that were offered. We got a little drunko there, met up with a good crew of people and had a very entertaining walk back to my buddy’s place, including a brief late night chat with a thickly accented Long Islander.

Beefsteak¹- The next day was the event that we had all been waiting for. The Brooklyn Beefsteak. This is held in a local bar/venue and is an all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink, no-utensils-allowed, beefstravaganza! There was also a really sweet three piece old time band (think Soggy Bottom Boys) that really brought the whole thing together.

Apron donned and seated at long tables, I wasn’t sure what exactly would happen but after the free beer got flowing we were soon greeted by large platters of these:

A single piece of sliced beef tenderloin placed upon a small slice of bread. The platters would show up and we would each grab a few slices of bread with the meat on it and devour them quickly awaiting the next one. There was a couple at the end of our table asked for all of the scraps of bread that were left from the platters and started hoarding them, more on this later… The band played and led us in a song about the unfettered gluttony of the event, which got everyone riled up and ready to eat more beef and pound more beers! Then beefsteak enthusiast, page 2 columnist for ESPN, and our host for the evening this guy²:

He ended up speaking in front of the crowd and telling some history about beefsteaks. The most interesting thing that came out of the talk was the fact that in a “real” beefsteak, no one eats the bread, because that would just take up too much room that could be used for beef! And so people would stack the bread into elaborate towers. This is what the couple at the end of our table had been plotting all along. This changed the entire vibe of the event. People started going huge with these:

We filled up and eventually things devolved into a semi drunken mess/minor food fight and we all had to head out. But wow, what an experience!

Rock  Climbing – There is a really sweet rock climbing place called Brooklyn Boulders made out of a converted warehouse that a few of my friends climb at regularly. It’s a pretty sweet set up that they have with a lot of room for bouldering and many different routes (indicated by the different colored tape on each handhold) and a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge that you can climb inside of and around up to the top. 

Although I’ve been hitting the gym and trying to get into shape this one really kicked my ass. It’s a lot about the finger muscles (wtf?) and despite nerding out in front of computers a ton and years worth of video game experience, my fingers are girly-man fingers when it comes to hoisting my body up. But it was a lot of fun to go out and try it. I have a few friends that climb and I really need to start going with them. Also, nbd… but while we were there Jude Law came in and was doing some bouldering (whoops more name dropping). These things just happen I guess…

I spent the rest of my time wandering around, taking in Manhattan, meeting up with friends that live there³, convincing my friends working there to come out for lunch beers, and taking in the giant organism that is NYC. I managed to only duff a few subway stops and by the time I was done, I think I had it pretty much down. I’m going to have to make sure that I take some time to spend out there again…

I left NYC to head up to meet my friends in Tarrytown and get ready for the actual reason for my trip. PSK Formal. Typified by excessive drinking, dancing, frolicking, philandering, and debauchery… this one delivered on a good number of these.  However, it was lacking a strong alumni presence. So given the circumstances, we made a run at it and did the best we could. There was some issues with the bussing that ended up kinda killing the whole vibe of what formal is all about, and ended up cutting the dancing short (gasp!). Small hitches aside, I actually had an absolute blast and was glad that it turned out as well as it did. I love you all and want to thank you for pulling it together⁴. Spring should be even better, a TON of people coming back, a siiiiick house (hoping, praying), new members, and a giant step forward into PSK’s future. I’m already ready already! ⁵

One last parting thought. I typically find a lot of wisdom/funny stuff on bathroom walls. Kinda like pre-internet message boards, bathroom walls have always served as a medium for expressing truisms, funny sayings, random phone numbers, racist diatribes, and movie critiques⁶. But, occasionally I find some that either make me laugh, confuse the hell out of me, or just flat out impress me, and I usually snap a pic of them. This was one that I really liked:

Poetic… Thanks RSC, you deliver in ways that you don’t even know.

-J

I’m glad that life doesn’t fall into ruts as often as it used to. 2-3 weeks ago, things were much different than they are right now–I feel like I’m in a completely different place. I like it.

Things are exciting, there is holiday spirit in the air. Not the Gregg Easterbrook Christmas Creep kind, but just that time of year where you start to catch wiffs of spiced drinks, see pumpkins and other assorted squashes everywhere, there’s snow but not much, the leaves are blowing in the wind, and the fall is officially in full swing. What’s that really all mean? It means a bunch of holiday get togethers, cider, pumpkin pie, turkey, ugly sweaters (of which I own none, of course all my sweaters are very fashionable), hot chocolate, fireplace fires, and all that good shit.

About a month ago or so, my buddy Sonny dropped some serious life knowledge on me. It amounted to a lot of things, but a very tangible one of them came in the form of this book:

Built For Show by Nate Green. It has some minor pick-up stuff in it, but above all else it gets rid of a lot of the bullshit that comes with fitness. It is a pretty simple system to get your (in this case my) lazy, desk sitting, computer eyed, sack of shit, lame ass up and into the gym getting a body that you can flaunt. Good humor and shit talking make it an easy read and I actually read the entire thing which for anyone that knows me or reads this, finishing a book is a MAJOR accomplishment. So I’ve been hitting up the gym regularly and am about halfway through the first section of the year round work out schedule. I’m eating better and more. I glance in the mirror and think to myself “DZAMN SON!” Get on it.

I’ve been working on the rest of the stuff that we talked about and it is getting there. I find myself going through these phases where I really get into an area of my life, and neglect others. Just wrote “but I’m done with that now,” but what I mean is that I’m through just letting it happen. It’s just like tilt, it’s not something that you can eliminate all at once (or maybe ever) but you can get better at limiting it’s effects. So here we go time to start firing on all cylinders… There’s only so much time that we get to do the things that are important to us.

That means that this bad boy is going to get more attention. I was again reminded today of the benefits of short and sweet write ups, but I owe something significant or at least to put a lot of pics and vids in here so that it looks like I put in some effort. But future efforts are allowed to be a digestible size.

Books:

Excited to read his work since wrapping up an impressive IV. BUT! I haven’t opened it yet as there are many other books that I need to get through. I did hear him on the B.S. Report with Bill Simmons talking about the book, the process of writing, more pop culture, the whole bit. I hope to get to this one before 2010, but… I have to get through this beast:

Written by the aforementioned Bill Simmons. Clocking in at over 700 pages, thick enough to stop a bullet from a 9mm, I have gotten through the first 50 pages and I love it. I’ve read his baseball book, I love it and most all his columns and listen to his podcasts, despite his undying boner for the Red Sox, the Pats, and everything Boston. He just knows how to be a fan, and it really comes through in his writing. He also throws in enough gambling to make it degen enough and exciting enough. He throws in enough “what are the odds that ___” or “God I wish I could parlay (event X) with (not completely unrelated, but close, event Y)!” I’m excited to devour this.

The Redux. Plan on nerding out fairly hardcore on this one as I love the economics that these guys elect to tackle. The first book was a bestselling eye-opener into “behavioral” economics. Quotes are used because that term gets tossed around a lot and people aren’t really sure what it actually covers or doesn’t. People make irrational choices, but why?  Something along those lines… Their blog at http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/ provides some good, bite-sized versions of what they delve into and is a good Reader addition, even if you only find 1 in 10 to be actually interesting.

I’ve started up a few other books in the meantime and have barely managed to get through any that I start. Fortunately, I don’t know of any other books coming out in the immediate future, so time to get some work done on these and the rest of my disgustingly large stack on the night stand.

The fall is tough though, as football season hits full stride, basketball picks up as well and my boys! are off to a roaring start.

Playing with a sense of urgency! RAWR! That’s what I like to see! A month or so in, we’ll see if they still have the same fire, but Melo looks like a man possessed out there. They got a taste last season and they are coming for it this year. Hard.

And fall also means… Formal. It’s trip time and this year I’m going to take a quick stop to see some friends in NYC next week beforehand. Not sure  what all is going to go on, but I’ve never spent any serious amount of time in the city despite it being “in my backyard” when I was in Troy. That like many other things these days, is changing. We are starting things off with an interesting event on Sunday, The Brooklyn Beefsteak. An all you can eat and drink bonanza, with a small catch. No utensils are allowed. Looks like we’re going to be going caveman on this…

So all week there, the back up to Troytown for a long weekend of debauchery and hopefully I escape without the swine flu.  Updates to follow.

With that said, I am certainly in an…

P.S. Blueprint 3 is siiiiiiiiick!

P.P.S. If you read this in Reader, try to check it out at the actual site, I’m going to start changing the title picture (currently a sunset over the mountains that I took in the San Luis Valley) to incorporate more of my pics. I see a ton of gems as they cruise through my slideshow screensaver. Might as well share…

“These are strictly for my own selfish pleasure so I’m going to hold back on reading them until I can crank through some of this backlog, which is ironically composed 100% of books that I really want to read.”

These words are not even 48 hours old and I’ve already cheated.

250 pages yesterday I will probably knock the last 250ish out tonight and tomorrow.
DAMN YOU DAN BROWN!

Some of us had semi-important things to do tonight such as other reading, that painting, running, session, all of which was going to have to be worked around trivia at Andrew’s (although this might not come together this week) and the return of the Fall lineup for the major networks.
3 premieres tonight

Fringe. Office. Sunny.

Bling. Blang. Blaow.

Oh wow.

Let’s take a step back here…

Phi Denver was a roaring success. It was a glorious combination of fun, debautchery, drunkeness, and somehow there was even some football in there. I cannot wait until next year’s draft, wherever it may be… Chicago? Delaware? Jamaica?

The days following Phi Denver have been filled with random craziness from all sides. It’s been somewhat hectic and running pretty loose. I might need to add a little more structure to the way that things are going because I’ve been slacking on some of my goals. At the same time I’m having a ton of fun with it all, but the key is a little more balance.

Anyways, after an eventful Friday night around the neighborhood, we headed down to Wash Park for my friend’s birthday Saturday afternoon. It ended up being kinda crappy weather, but a couple of kegs and a ton of friends helped out with that. We had some great kickball/volleyball going on, and they even managed to get my bday friend a piñata for her to smash which was absolutely hilarious and I think that we might need to incorporate more of these into everyday life. We eneded up bringing the keg and the party back to our house when the rain started to pick up, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We hung out played some games, had some scotch, enjoyed some quality beers and overall had such a blast with some really good friends that I haven’t gotten to see in a while. The Wash Park party was also in part for my buddy Sidley was in town again after a year or so of galavanting across Central and South America with his beautiful girlfriend. He is a special individual that I am very privledged to consider a close friend. He is just one of those rare quality people that are a true pleasure and bring joy to everyone that he meets.

I got to speak about this topic with my friend/mentor Sonny. We had a great conversation about value, validation, social proof, and a bunch of other things. It really helped me start to look at interactions differently and more clearly. We talked about not deriving value externally. Typically,  social value is derived externally through some form of supplication (like me, like me, like me, type qualifying statements), combativeness (I’ll fight you!), or competitiveness (One Uppingness, if you will). However all of these are still externally located. I am finding that there are better ways to go about things than through one of these avenues, but I need to work that out and start really generating and distributing more value internally. I haven’t really gotten far enough outside of myself yet, but I’m working on it. Instead of remaining focused on one’s self, start being truly and genuinely concerned for other people, even complete strangers. Starting today (when I finally manage to get this finished up), it’s time to go out with the attitude that I should really look to make someone’s day.

Relating it all back, that’s one of the things that Sidley always naturally did so well. Congratulations man, we’re all that much better because of it.

Also, in lighter news, I stumbled across a great new (as in new to me but was right under my nose the entire time) comedian. He plays the landlord in Flight of the Conchords, Eugene Mirman. Somewhat like “Dave” aka Arj Barker, he is a solid comedian in his own right but he deosn’t really get to demostrate it on the show. Here are a few pretty money shorts:

From one of his stand up spots

Art – I’m going to need to get in there and finish this awesome piece that I’ve been working on for a bit. It’s going to end up looking something like this:

Hopefully I get that finished this week. I’m pretty stoked on how it’s turning out. Just a few more touch ups and filling in a few more coats on the yellow and a few spots of the darker red.

Books- Son of a bitch. I think that it’s about a 3:1 in to out ratio on reading these things. Time just seems to disappear. I did just order a book that I really want to read and two more that will be released in October. These are strictly for my own selfish pleasure so I’m going to hold back on reading them until I can crank through some of this backlog, which is ironically composed 100% of books that I really want to read. Ugghhhhh…

Next time: Continued culinary adventures!

-J

I’m putting this here to force myself to write some stuff tomorrow.

But, off to Wash Park til then….

-edit: Got a lot in, but I need to finish up some more work on it. Tomorrow.
