On 2 Tha Next Adventure.

Oh, another classic show!!  With the best theme song ever!


I really dig the European flavor!  I don't think people understand.  I've never been, which is kind of suprising considering how much we've watched from afar.  Right now, we're watching this Barclays Premier League football match between Everton and Liverpool, just watching the atmosphere gets u all hyped and wanting to be a part of that madness!  It's so cool...I looked up some information on the city of Liverpool itself.  And boy, it seems so exciting, and with the culture and arts and everything it seems like a perfect city for us to get that 5th Summer home!  Check it out....

We live in the beautiful atmosphere of Miami Beach.  I think Miami is almost as Inter...matter of fact, I know that Miami is as International of a city u can go, here in the United States.  While I know other cities have their own arguments, when u combine the Central and South American flavor, along with the European style, and now the growing Asian influence, dude, it ain't nothing like it anywhere. I guess that's where or why we ended up down here.  Our heart is so multi-(u fill in tha blank), that I have to be somewhere that is more than just pure Americana.  Don't know why we're writing all this, but we are at this "I am this" stage in our life, where u begin to realize who u are as a person, and what u like, and don't like...and really don't pay too much attention to what negativity others may bring.  Maybe it's all part of "finding urself" which is natural.  We all go through it, but we know inside that our life is not ending, but jokes aside...it's just now starting to begin.

We've read many an articles on life's fixation on being young.  Looking young, acting young, doing every and any thing to capture those Saturday mornings of our "youth".  I put that in quotes, because age is nothing but a number, bro.  Talking to my Pops on yesterday on how life has changed in terms of what old means.  I was thinking this the other day, on how blessed we are to be one of the only select few walking this Earth that can honestly say that, not only are we a kid, but am still living a kid's type of life.  Some people may say they're a kid, but we are fortunate enough to still do goofy things without all the so-call adult responsibilities.  That's not to knock those who may be married or have kiddos, but it's just different.  I know that whenever we have some of those aspects added to our life, knowing our personality, we are still gonna be a dude who's about having fun and talking crazy, and stuff.   That's real talk.

I've been really borderline out of control as of late, even though u may not see it.  Sometimes we forget that we are a trailblazer of sorts and get caught up to what society believes u should be at in ur life at a particular age or experience level.  I've worked for this long, so I should have this and that...I've gone through this many episodes with dimes so I should be married or shopping for baby clothes and pampers....What I'm learning is that sometimes it's not a mistake that u are where u are.  And the main reason that u haven't done something or someone is because of one thing....

Timing.

And just as in photography, love, and career adjustments, timing is important in every aspect of life.  What's that old equation:  Preparation plus Opportunity equals Success.  Put short that's Timing.  U have to go through a lot of different things before u...Sometimes u want things, and they seem so easy, not knowing the steps u have to go through, knowingly and unknowingly before u actually see them come into fruition.  This is kind of personal, but I recall being like on our knees at the ripe age of 14 or 15 praying to The Great Gift Giver in the Sky about "I want to have the most beautiful girl in the World".  Now as u say that at that age, u think that's so Love Potion No. 9 simple.  That it's just gonna drop out of thin air wearing a Vera Wong maid outfit, and speaking in a French accent, rocking the latest pair of our Nike id shoes....This soccer game is getting wild!...But that's a very huge statement and request to be made.  And it was like we asking for it over and over, kind of wild.  As I look back on those Dr. Phil moments I see that we are gonna get that lifestyle, but u have to go through a lot before u meet that person.  Huh.

Nowadays we all want what we want, who we want, and more impactfully when we want it.  We don't want tha struggle.  I know I don't...but we've grown to accept it...sort of.  (With a smile)  The most difficult thing is in this day and Casio, having success delayed or even having to actually learn lessons of pain and patience is not as celebrated as it once was.  U win a college championship, u're expected to do the same in the pros, in 4 years max...U were a starlet in high school, a borderline local queen, and suddenly u chase ur dreams and go to Hollywood or Miami to be an actress or model, and ur supposed to be automatically thrown on the cover of Vogue UK or star opposite of Denzel or Brad.  I think I wrote on yesterday about success being relevant to expectations, and I'm starting to believe that it's best to not even have any.  Just trusting ur method of operation, and just letting things work themselves out. It's...

Has anyone ever like lost weight, and become super hot, but still have that little un-confidence about themselves?  It's almost as if u've busted ur butt to work hard, and get into super-James Bond shape and yet feel inadequate to show it off.  Boy we bringing the big words out 2day.  The last several months as our life has shifted to a whole new level, we still feel like we are in the "old" lifestyle, that wasn't too shabby itself believe u me.  But new options have occurred and we still are comparing ourself to things in tha past or other people and their lives.  That dude has a 8-pack of abs while doing just curls...I have a six pack by doing curls, pull-ups, and crazy circuits...but maybe u have better conditioning than that other person.  It's easy to feel like ur doing more and getting less than the next guy and girl.  But as in our aforementioned equation, maybe u are being built for a different race.  Maybe they are being built for a sprint...where u are being built for a sprint and a marathon.  That's why we keep saying that sometimes what ur going through in life, on ur job, with ur school work is just building u for a future that u may not even know ur being prepared for.  I know it's a deep way of thinking, but at least for me, I know it's right.  Now when I go out with a beautiful lady and the insist on getting cheese on their burger, I say "sure", but I then shyly slip a Pre-breakup contract across the table and add  "Will u please sign this first?!!"  Oh...I'm so wild...

So now as we're maximizing our lifestyle, and ur maximizing yours, we can go on with more confidence knowing that we've been through the fire, and now it's time for our Golden era.  Boy, if I don't get my own talk show by this time next year, I might just do a sit-in boycott on every station down here in South Florida!!  Just have fun, and live it up.  I don't know where our life is turning, but that's what we're gonna do.

And let tha chips fall where they may!

No Doubt Bout It!!

No Doubt...One of my favorite groups! Remember this one?!!


Oh my...Oh my!!

Soooo much going on right now, can't explain it really...It's morning time on today, and we want to just jot a few real life items that's been going on.

It's so crazy when u're trying to re-organize where u live.  I mean this stuff can borderline make u grab some wine, light up a Cuban ciggy and just lay back in a chair wondering "What have I gotten myself in to?"  And all that drama is due simply to the fact that u can't decide whether u want ur TV in the left corner or up on the wall!  We all about color, we've stated how we feel about brownies and blackberries, we love life, and want a place where life lives and where love comes to life.  So in deciding...go ahead and smile, that was a great last sentence!  In deciding the layout we are looking for inspiration everywhere from HGTV shows, music videos, hotel rooms, to Barbie dreamhouse sets, u name it dude and we're on it.  We don't have an unlimited budget per se, and being one of the most wealthy yet frugal people u'll ever come accross...Ok.  I'm in some ways cheap.  I mean these cats want like $1.99 for a light bulb, and can only guarantee me like 40 hours of light.  C'mon, man I can get two stick candles, light them boys up for an hour a day, I may have to eat in the dark, but at least I can get them for a buck instead of missing out on a McChicken sandwich for tha week!  Today is our deadline.  It's been set, we'll finalize everything and the fun will come to life in a few.  It's gonna be nice...

What else is on our mind?  This is our quote unquote birthday weekend, since our birthday is in a few days on the October 30th.  Don't like to even look ahead that far, but u can't help but reminence on what this birthday cake year has brought to us.  I'm not gonna lie, it's been probably our most difficult in recent history.   The lessons kept coming, the craziness was like a daily basis.  I think what really helped and molded us was realizing how close we actually are to where we want to be at.  But right when we thought this or that would happen, it still didn't come to fruition.  Now, we become so immune to getting our hopes up so high, that it's just like, "Ok...Whatever...When it happens, I'll celebrate."  But until then, it's just something to pass the day...Has anyone else reached that Championship or Bust mentality?  Where it's like, tha other things are super cool, but u know deep within u won't ever be truly satisfied until u get what u really been working for, and what u're really be desiring.

This is all not to say that all we've been blessed with has been a total waste.  Are u kidding me?  I mean, like...seriously?  Just saying that when we say that it's hard to stay motivated at times, and keep pushing when u feel like u've already been down this road before and have come up empty.  U have 2 really dig down for those times u were denied or rejected to get some motivation.  That edge...I ALWAYS seemingly am talking about dating.  So for example, u meet a girl or gal, and u two go out and end up in a relationship.  U find that u two have everything in common.  Romance each other for like 3 years all heart, body and soul, and then u break up.  It'll probably hurt, and then u wonder, "Why did I waste all these years and Groupon bucks on this person if I have nothing to show for it!"  So one, it's tough or it'll probably take some time before u open ur heart again.  And then when u do meet somebody who's cool and pretty, u almost don't want to go through the preliminaries..."What's ur name?...Where ur from?...U shower at night or in tha morning?  Yada...yada..."  It can seem boring, and u can begin to think within, "Are you tha one or not?"  If u don't feel like they are, on tha first date or convo, u just push them to tha side.

That ain't the right way to go, but it's what's happening.  Not just in relationships but in life.  When u've been down all to familiar territory and when I say that, I'm not talking about like a few months, I'm talking about years of putting forth the work, effort and faith of simply being, "You."  When u've experienced that road, and if u've had no success...or if u've had some wins too, just the process can be tedious.  Gotta write these two quotes:

"Success is relevant to expectations."
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Those two gathering of letters defines our who outlook from tha present, past and future.  Our expectations on our life are quite big.  I mean who names themselves after a whole Galaxia, duh??!!  But in our heart we know that the world is a playground, a stage, where u can do whatever u want, and be whoever u want to be, even though u have to go through a lot to get to that point.  Saying all these quotes, and for some quoting all these Biblical scriptures is super cool and fine and handy dandy, but when u actually try to put those principles into ur life, and don't see immediate success...It's like the Lakers going 0-8 in the Preseason, u don't think that's not a motivating factor or may even create a mini-seed of doubt...Or studying for an exam for two weeks, sacrificing and all, saying "no" to tha girl of ur dreams, (Now u definitively know this is a fictional example!), and taking the test and still coming up with an "E" on it, tell me that doesn't get 2 u just a little bit.  Maybe I'm just too competitive or too much of a perfectionist.  But we've just reached a stage in our life where it's like why should I expect anything else.  Why else strive to live a life full of fun, if u aren't able to not only see ur cake but eat it in the end?  Or why eles go through all these things when it comes to love, if we aren't gonna get somebody who's tha creme de la creme.

I think sometimes u gotta thank The Great Motivator in the Sky for how he keeps you.  And I also think u have to look in the mirror and say, "Hey, after all we've been through...we're still here."  And not only that, but if u look back, a little, u find that u're bigger and better than ever.  U can walk past a person that would have made u clip trip their feet back in tha day, and now be like, "What's up?"  Or U can walk into a place of employment that once gave u a rejection letter, and not even feel a bit of guilt.  I need some help, Miss Estelle, tell them how I feel!  It's so true.  I don't mean to write this long and real at 10:32am in the morning, but I gotta say this...

As of late, and really this previous week, I ain't gonna lie.  We felt just plain old spent.  Like a dollar bill at a strip club.  Tossed around, flying through the air, then gracefully falling to tha ground.  Having the exhilarating joy of being inside the home of a beautiful pair of twins and a rarely seen pussycat.  Only to have that perfection taken away and given to someone in exchange for a simple stick of gum.  Left with a bewilderment of, "Aren't we worth more than this?"  Oh...I'm starting 2 feel this now...I absolutely KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that pushing urself to the limits everyday in some way, shape or form, can really test you and work on u some.  Especially when u are pushing towards and idea without a true visual to run to.  It's like somebody say, "If u run up to Palm Beach, and make a left turn on Worth Ave, away from the beach, u'll have the prize u've always wanting, waiting for you outside the doors of Saks Fifth Avenue."  U're running, just with the expectation of something cool, but u really don't know what it looks like, or what it feels like.  Just going on the idea that's it's a dream come true.

But that's what makes the special ones so special...I wanna be...I am special.  Why not be confident?  U have to push even when u don't know where u're going or more specifically where u're being taken.  I was driving in Downtown Miami off, and I was coming to this stoplight.  I was jamming out listening to some music, as usual, and I looked to my right, where it was this corner like Quik stop type of store, and as I was pulling up to this stop sign, these two guys were hugging the wall of the store.  But as I just simply looked out my passenger window, BOTH of them gave us some love at the exact same time.  Felt like I was in a car commercial or something...  One of them, held up his fist at us, in a sort of  "What's up" kind of way.  While the other, pointed our way like, "I see ya!"  I gave a head nod, just to say "What up".  Now I was like 75 feet away...I continue, to go pull up, and I hear, "Hey, What's Up Killa!!...What Up Killa!!"  I could hear it like, 3 or 4 times, and I know they was shouting that to us.  Not in a bad way, but just in a baller or "big time" kind of way.  I was on my way somewhere so I just played it off, cuz I know they wanted to talk or something, and I had a feeling in my soul, like "u have to go."  But...these type of things happen to us just about all the times if we're driving or when we're walking, just so many absolute complete strangers coming to us or acknowledging us, it's weird.  I just want everything about us to be about fun.  Want that to beem from our spirit...it's just when so many unique instances keep on happening, u wonder, why and when.  U getting the rock star experiences, and the stage has been set.  Believe u me, it's really, really bout 2 be on.  And tha game just won't ever be tha same.

Didn't mean to write all this, but just us being us, I guess.  Our life is reaching new levels and new experiences...just want u to feel how it feels to be in our shoes.  It can be scary cuz we know we're about to have what we've been working and prepared for.  That moment.  

Now that moment is upon us.

And u'll gonna see us like never before...

And Em aka "B-Rabbit" told me best how act in tha middle of all this...

Simply...

Lose Yourself.

And I will.

Galaxia On Duty!


Boy o boy oh boy!

This has been a complete world wind...literally!!  Was anybody else out and about down here in Miami like around 6 p.m. or so?  Man, I was walking the ghetto streets of South Beach down here, and I don't know what happened but all I know is we got caught up in the wind from Kansas!  Palm trees blowing every which away, street lights about to come down like the Heat won their third championship, complete craziness.  I love it, cuz we get to see Miami's finest, in such advert conditions.  I always love it when the bold and beautiful get thrown off guard.  (I.E.- When the temperature drops to about 30 degrees or when the grocery store runs out of organic banana pudding.)  U wanna see the M.I.A in action, let something like this happen.  Folks holding on to their suits, skirts swaying in everywhere like Marilyn Monroe look-a-like convention, so wild.  Then to top it all off, now somebody may look at me crazy, but I felt sand from the ocean actually blow about, I don't know, like 1000 feet.  Cuz I was walking on the street over from Collins Ave. (Two streets from the Atlantic Ocean), and I put this on a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic, a gust of sand just overwhelmed me.  I got it all in my shoes, in my mouth, it totally came out of nowhere.  Guess that's life in tha M.I.A...u never know whatcha gonna get.

Huh.  That's interesting.  I really didn't know what to jot down on today, we just felt that we had to write about something.  I think we got it.

The Beach Life.  I'm not actually talking just about Miami Beach on tonight, but the actual "Beach Life".  One that is filled with "Hang-ten's" and more "dudes" than any sentence can hold.  Fun in tha sun, oh tha life.  I'm really a beach type dude.  I don't know what it is about it.  We've been enamored (Oh, we on our "A" game tonight with our vernacular!)  with the sand, the smell of the water, it can just be so calming u know.  Walking around with no shoes and just laying on a towel and looking up into the sky wondering, "Why does it cost so much to rent a jet ski??"  We've had so many memorable days and nights on the beachside.  Many up north on the golden sands of Lake Michigan, and quite a few down here on the sexy sands of the Atlantic.

Down here in Miami Beach, just walking on tha boardwalk, or heck several streets over on Washington or what not can present u with some kind of show.  One thing that our sands brings is this sense of "I'm sexy and I know it."  Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's just a little bit too much for tha kid.  We've seen so many booty cheeks, and tops off, and sprayed on tans...and that's just the guys!!  Tha girls can get kind of MTV at 1am as well.  Yeah...not gonna dig into that.  But if u can imagine it, we've probably seen it.  Another thing is that the beach life is such a major tourist attraction, so u get all these different styles down here.  U get the low key beach goers who are covered up in tees, and still rock socks with sandals on the sand (That's a no-no!  No matter if ur feet look like Vienna Beef sausages or not, live free when u come 2 my 'hood!!).   Then u also get that international style where, u get basically naked and walk strut around like it's the norm.  U get it all down here in "Tha Land of the Beautiful People".

Alright.  This is supposed to be my diary right.  So u're supposed to actually get some insight into what goes into this crazy mind of ours, right?!!!  That's what a diary is all about, and if u know us, we're all, and we mean all about having fun....So on that note...Since we've a beach boy at heart, mind and body...and since we've actually work on the beach for many Summers, how about we give Galaxia's Views on what we've learned and witnessed during our times searching for seashells and sea mermaids.  We'll call it....

Galaxia's Beach Thoughts.  Are u ready?  Once again, this is just how we view certain aspects on life on the sands, u may not agree, then again u may call me up and just laugh.  This should be fun...(Huge Breath!)  Here we go:

- U better beware of the water.  I don't hate when people actually take a dip in the water, especially when it's hot, BUT...beware!  Everyone takes a dip or sometimes Humpty Dumpty in those waters as well.  The stories we've heard.  U also got the unseen animals or reptiles that are only like 2 feet away.  One of my dudes told me how he once saw like a freakin' Stingin' Ray down here in South Beach, while he was on top at one of the oceanfront hotels.  And how the folks in the water never even saw how close it was.  A little scary...Just be careful.  And then u also have ...we'll let's just to to tha next one.

- Don't make tha Rip a R.I.P!  Rip currents and wild water conditions are flat our hazardous.  I've seen so many times hot lifeguards throw up that red flag like a Blood, only to find folks steady going into the water.  Like He...llo, that flag isn't just up there, that means "If u go down the whirlpool of the earth, there ain't no clog stopper to help u out!"  Stay out!!  I know when the waters are choppy and stuff, folks get the surf boards out and get wild like they're trying out for the next sequel of  Blue Crush , but believe u me, it ain't worth it.

- Rock Tha Boat.  I have to tell u, dudes and dudettes who are amateur slash semi-professional boaters, absolutely rock dude!  These cats will wake up at like 4:30 am, the same time they be showing  Whopper Chopper juicers or whatever they're called infomercials.  All I know is that girl with the blond hair has been rockin' the same Hawaiian outfit for the last 10 years.  I think that was Nautica's Summer of 2000 collection!  But...getting back to the boaters.  They wake up at the crack of dawn, sometimes every day, and hit it.  They claim that boat people are...weird.  I know they don't care about no rain, that's for sure.  But to be on the waters for hours on end, with only a bologna sandwich, one and a half  mini boxes of Sam's Club size Froasted Flakes, and bottle of Mystic juice, and although that may be the week's diet for any model in Miami, Tha Kid just can't do it for a day!  That's why I say, Boaters rock!!

- Everybody wants to Stunt!  I don't know how this all got started, but why is it the closer u get to the actual oceanside or lakeside, the more folks want to drive slow.  Am I lying?  Up north people go slower than a final round of Jeopardy! just to turn the corner!  Down here in South Beach, the speed limit literally and mentally decreases as u get closer to the water.  Ur on the A1A, then it goes from 50mph to 40mph.  Ok.  U hit Alton Road, right at that Burger King where I wanted order some Whopper Jr.'s and the cat behind the counter pulled out a garbage bag of sneakers to sell me (U can't even make that up!)...Right around there...Bam!  35 mph...Then folks begin to get their swag up, let down the soft or hard tops in the middle of the road, and turn up the music, and then the fun really begins.  U hit my street in the middle off Jefferson, folks slow down to about 20mph....Keep going to Washington Ave...15 mph....Next is Collins Ave. where u  start to see Video Vixens and dudes that just came of the 2012 Firefighter's calender...10 mph.  Then bout time u make that left onto Ocean Drive, Awe shoot! That junk hits like 2 mph without traffic! I know a lot is about showing off ur ride, or just simply checking out the natural and unnatural scenery but it's funny!  I've done it before and come this December when it's like Spring Break in Europe, I'm gonna do it again!  And I might hook up a loud speaker to the top of my ride, Blues Brothers style!  "Hey Girl, with the Fendi swimsuit on...after I fulfill my probation u wanna go out?!?!" Don't get me started!

Ok.  It's time to get a little real.  Enough with the PG stuff.  Now, as I crack my knuckles let's get down to some real talk.  As Puff used to say in tha background... "Let's Go.."

-  Me luv tans. Me no luv tan lines.  I have some arguments on this one, but I just figure if u're gonna be out there, take everything off, it's just more complete.  We've always been like that since Baywatch all the way
to those classic MTV Spring Break days.  That's been our thing.  It's personal, I know, but in our book this may...matter of fact it is a deal breaker.  Along with eating jalapeno sandwiches with mayo, this will get tha "We have to talk" convo from us.  Just our opinion, but I figure I like to explore inner and outer beauty, and for this I don't need a map to tell me where tha hidden treasures are located!

- Rain is a sexy beach!  When it begins to rain, and ur on tha sands of the beach.  That's when some of the magic moments can really begin.  Whether it's running with ur family or special someone to shelter.  Or even more fun, u pull out ur "I'm from the 3-0-5, and I'm used to this" swagg, and just don't move, even though the raindrops are yelling, "Go Home or else" as they're coming down.  Just like Usher, I've been caught up a several times in the rain.  It's something sensual and fun being in the rain.  Everybody's all wet...If u hang out in Fort Lauderdale's ocean front, heck it's like a football field length until u hit shelter, dodging people, and going up steps, u might as well take it on the chin.  Many times those make the most fun memories of a day at the beach anyway.

- Look, but don't tou...matter of fact don't look!  Us guys have a tendacity to go crazy for girls in swimsuits.  All shapes, sizes...I've seen guys almost get into accidents just checking out a lady.  But it can go overboard.   Matter of fact...

 Here's my don't's list for tha fellas:
-  No Binoculars.  Just looks creepy...although Ray Charles sunglasses and a trucker hat totally acceptable.

- Those flamer fireworks that shoot up in tha sky.  Don't bring...Number one, fireworks are illegal on the sands on tha beach.  Number Bee, If u want to get tha digits, no need to let the rest of the beach know. Ok.

- Don't stand next to the women's bathroom for more than 6 minutes.  The line can be long at beach bathrooms, as u wait for u daughter or baby doll, but move around.  U standing and acting like ur sipping water from the water fountain, totally uncool.

- Never...I repeat NEVER wear white suntan lotion on just ur nose and not the rest of ur face.  This ain't 1957 and u aint' part of The Rat Pack!  No pal...

- Once again, when trying to get the attention of the opposite (Or even same sex, since we do live in Miami.) don't ever throw a football, a frisbee, a hacky sack, or a beach ball to get the attention of ur future love interest, especially if it's a girl.  Trust me on this, the gals down here in Miami are fine and look right in their Burberry swimwear, and have a sexy International smile, but if u pull a stunt like that down here on the sands of the Magic City, they really and truly, might just cut ya!  I'm telling u...Our women are the most beautiful, but also the MOST GANGSTA I've ever seen.  Don't be a fool!

- Don't allow ur kids to run u crazy and broke while having a beach day!  Kids go buck wild at the beach.  They wanna make sand castles, they dig both their hands in the sand and flip it up in the air like a Lebron Pregame , wanna eat Ice Cream and Tacos (How they do that?) at the same time.  Control them.  I don't have any, but from what I've seen watch them, and more importantly take them home around 6 pm cuz that's when seemingly every hot beach turns from a trip 2 Disney to a beach front Playboy Mansion.  Watch them.

Should eye....What the heck.  It's really time for us to go, but ladies....

- Don't come to the beach wearing nothing but a white shoelace and then get the nerve to get mad when a guy is checking u out.  Just like on the streets and more so, in my opinion...I think u can tell a lot about what a girl wears to the beach.  Jokes aside.  Big hat...One-Piece...Shawl wrap with Chanel glasses.  If u come to the beach dressed like a Hoochie (Is that allowable for me to say? Whatver...) Then u'll get treated like one...and I know I'll get a "Amen" from some females on this same point!

- Here's an inside secret  for tha single girls...Don't eat a burger while wearing a swimsuit.  It's just not...I may be the only guy who feels this way, but it's something...non-appealing about it.  Wait until u put ur clothes back on, and hit up Johnny Rockets while dressed, but while ur on tha sand, it will get u noticed, but not in a good way.

- When hanging out with friends it's ok to put the cell phone away for a little bit.  Being on ur phone when Bobby is about to throw Tara in the water or while a fun game of beach volleyball is about to jump off, ain't cool at all.  The beach is about getting away, and hanging out with friends and being on tha phone, and then putting a downer on the mood by telling everybody what somebody on Facebook just wrote about u...Put tha thang away!!  For real.

- Wearing makeup to the beach is acceptable...but don't overdue it.  Just like the beach, everyone there is close to a natural state.  It ain't a runway...well then again here in Sobe it is.  But it's not something guys expect...less is more.

- Sand is ur friend.  Don't get mad when sand gets in your hair, on ur shoulders, in ur cleavage, or in between ur pedicured toes.  It happens.  It's frustrating.  But it's part of tha gig.  And part of tha fun.

- Don't "Try" to get noticed at the beach...folks will see u believe that!  I once had four women asking me if I wanted to see their boobs.  I did say four!  U don't have to put on an act by getting water every five minutes or by putting on an Elizabeth Taylor entrance as u enter the sand area or into the water.  Believe u me, real beauty sings a mile away, and that's coming from somebody who constantly has his ears open!

U're getting all of us as u read our diary.  Cherish it.  Cuz it truly is one of a kind.

Hope u had fun.

Life's just one big beach day.
Austino Galaxia.

Santa Nose.

Hi...Santa!  What u bring me?


Today was absolutely one of those days.  You know the kind...where ur patient is just as short as milli-centimeter...Where u just felt like, "Uggh, I just wanna lie in my bed all day, pop some Sun Chips, turn on to the Soap Network, and just chill all the day long..."  Today was all about mental toughness, I don't think people really understand how hard it is to be...how should we put this...to be on ur "A" game, ALL THA TIME!  It's tough, dude.  I'm probably losing some readers right now, by talking about this, but u know what, "I really don't care" cuz as we've said before this is not only a diary, but it's our diary, and somebody somewhere at sometime is gonna one day feel like how we feel, so I need no apologize for anything that's gonna be said, cuz it's 100% real.

When we talk about the challenge of excellence or having to push through things, when u don't feel like it or want to or when it seems unfair, it can be challenging.  As we've aforementioned before...Oh, I like to use those sexy words!...We are starting to feel like the most difficult challenge is when u actually have tasted some success in areas of your life.  I'm gonna sum up my whole feeling right now...

It's like being a kid at Christmas time, and contrary to what you've heard, unlike Domino's Pizza, Santa Claus does come to the ghetto!  So the weeks and months leading up to that, u wrote Crispy Creme or...wait, that doesn't sound right?  U write Kris Kringle, that's better, u write Snow Dizzle a letter about all the things that you want on that December two five, and u state the cause why you should get those things.  U brushed ur teeth everyday...U didn't squeal on Moms when she was making out with Santa last Christmas Morning (That in itself should be worth an Xbox and a new IPhone, right!)  After u list all ur crazy demands, that special morning comes along, the one you've been waiting for as long as a reunion CD by *NSYNC!  U keep ur eyes close, after u heard a small tussle on the rooftop.  No need to risk coals in ur eyes, so u're squinting like I did one time when I...

Ok, I gotta tell this one.  So I'm checking into a hotel up north.  Up in tha land of cheese in Wisconsin.  A brotha had to use the bathroom, and I didn't want to make that "Oh" face that would have made it obvious that it was raining Mello Yello in my pants, so I asked Bernie Brewer at the front desk if I use a bathroom before I check in.  He was cool, and told me there was one around the corner, down the hall, on the first floor.  So I borderline walk/run looking for this thing, and almost about hold my crouch and go into that pose u do when "ride the bull" at a local bar.(Now, c'mon don't act like u don't know what I'm talking about!!)  I find the bathroom, and I twist the door to go in, an "My, My, My"...it was this lady standing in front of urinal,  cigarette butt naked, with her pants lying on the ground to her ankles.  Now under normal circumstances this would have been a dream scenario.  A beautiful girl wanting to take it to the bathroom, all glistened up, surrounded by Listerine and Colgate, and wearing nothing but dental floss, boy...don't get me started.  As I was about to take my sock off my ankle and put it on the bathroom door knob, I realized that my girl was kind of...mature.  Which I don't have a problem with, I would love to meet a dame who's been with Dean Martin, Elvis, Tom Selleck and Flavor Flav!  Heck, if she adds me to that list, then u got 5 of the 8 hottest sex symbols of the last century!  But even though I think Sophia from The Golden Girls is kinda hot especially by her off-the-wall comments, I had to pass on this girl, and close the door.  And to getting back to my original story...I had 2 squint some...

So getting back to our Wintry illustration...after doing all u can not 2 get ur eyes burn.  U finally decide to risk it all like a Vegas gambler and go downstairs to see what tha man that gets more fan letters than Susan Boyle in 2009, left for "Tha Kid".  U go downstairs rocking your Spider-Man underwear with the slip-proof rubber bottom feet, and u find three boxes left for you. They are all group together, with a note attached saying, "You'll need this.  K. Krizzle."  You open the first one, and it's a giant box of Golden Crisp cereal.  U then move on to the next box..."Please be that DVD set of California Dreams!"...U open it up, and find a cereal bowl, with a spoon with a picture of Betty Crocker on the handle.  This has got to be a joke right?!  Then u open the final box, only to find a 6-pack of socks.  And if u were paying attention above, u know what one of those uses are for, besides keeping ur feet warm, and for making one heck of a fake basketball while shooting shots with the folding laundry basket! Talking about diss-aaa-point-ment.

This is how we've been feeling as of late.  We are getting blessed in so many ways, beyond compare, so much that we expect Robin Leach to call us at any time.  For real, we ain't joking dude!  But the manner we've are being hooked up in, isn't necessarily what we've been looking for.  I'm looking to our right, for these ALL OUT miracles that are gonna have us set for life.  I've got the order form for my picket fence already filled out pally!  It's interesting...it's like we're getting so many things we may need in tha future, but don't understand why.  Maybe I'm gonna need that sexy wardrobe for our unveiling to the rest of the world.  Perhaps, we found a CD by Sting, cuz our future baby mama is gonna be a fanatic of his, and absolutely loves that song, "Brand New Day".  That's one of my favorites as well...Hey, let's play that song. U never know...

Our life is so weird.  Things are happening so quickly, everything can change in just a second.  I just turned to write this, and as I turn back to the TV I see Jay Cutler of the Bears on the ground laid out.  We'll see what happens when this commercial break, but Super Bowl hopes changing in a matter of seconds.  That's why we are so...Cutler's back, cool... but life is so short.  And we've felt like we've already been waiting on some things, have paid so many dues that u just get frustrated cuz u're like, "Man, what else do I gotta do."  I know I'm being a little too deep, but...this is how we feel.

Guess this is when u have to dig down, and quiet all the noise surrounding our life.  It's a process, and you cannot skip a step.  Today was one of those steps, which is cool.  I want it so bad though...so bad.  We're ready...the lesson for us.  Appreciate what u do have, and are receiving.  How you handle a blind faith need will determine when u get what u really want.  U just never know what's in store if u hang on, so u can't give up now.  U may be upset now about that 6-pack of socks, but perhaps Santa knows something we don't know.  Perhaps he knows that we are about to enter the coldest Winter we've ever gonna go through...

Huh.

Or perhaps we are about to meet the freak of our dreams!
