"Look at Me, I'm South Beach!!"

Welcome!

Where to begin...seems like an eternity since we've jotted a few luv letters down in our diary. Sometimes life can seem so long, not bad, just a little drawn out.  Right now, we are on the Brinks truck of breaking loose and we are going to have a lotta fun.  U best believe that!

Feel a little...empty headed right now...we've been going so DJ Khaled hard style as of late, in every part of the word, and we almost...burnt out..but not quite.  As ur striving or attempting to hit another level, so to speak, it can be difficult to maintain that energy and mojo to stay motivated.  I just need to enjoy the life we have...just a little bit more.  That sounds so wild, considering that our life is fun anyway...but there's settle ways u can make this life just a little more fulfilling....smoothie here...a tee shirt there...heck, just a walk, can be so refreshing.  So what is gonna jump off, in the upcoming hours is gonna be very enjoyable activities.  I'll leave it at that!  

Been watching the HBO 24/7 series that they do with upcoming boxing matches coming up.  Watched the Mayweather/Cotto one other day, today watching old episodes of Pac-Man/Hatton, and Mayweather/De La Hoya.  Boxing is so much like life.  U train all to get prepared for that "big fight".  Trainers help u get ready...u sometimes u have Eric, Vincent and "Drama" hanging around...sometimes the "hype" actually proceeds the fight itself...there are usually knockdowns to the Picasso canvas, but it's how u respond to it that matters...do u stay down or get back up and fight...Boxing tests ur heart.  Any unexpected punch can change all of ur plans of attack, which is why u have to be prepared for anything, from people biting u to a blow below the belt...actually  that can be kinda goo...PG... Austin...PG...Austin......PG Austin!!!  Have to keep going no matter what...no matter what, until the ref steps in or until...gulp!...that ultimate ring bell bakes up that "ding dong" sound!  I like boxing, it's so relate-able.

It feels so good to have the neighborhood...back!!  Oh man, high season down here in Miami, is so wild.  So many festivals, and so many visitors.  Traffic is back up so much it's like Juve's "Back that thang up" was playing through the heavens!  U sitting there in traffic like...I just wanna go home!!  But then again, u take it for granted.  I think when I'm on the A1A, "Man, this is so much different from where I'm from..."  U go home, stuck in traffic, look to ur right and see all these cruise ships, and then look to ur left and see all the mansions on Star Island and other islands.  It still surprises me how many homes have the traditional interior of brown and tan...I still just a cosmo guy with colors...so specific, with whites, and light blues, and light purples...I think it opens a place up.  Anyway, many people would like to be stuck in traffic with the Miami air blowing in the wind.  Kinda cool....

Miami is so easy to take for granted.  South Beach especially...not too many places in the world, and definitely the Galaxia, where u can walk EVERYWHERE!  So many visitors from the globe here to let the hair down and in some ways let their skirts up!  It really is wild, how right when folks get off the plane, it's like the aura of the MIA entraps folks!  It's cool, but sometimes it can be too much.  What's the wildest thang I've seen?  We wrote about that before, but it seems like everyday u see something or somebody that u haven't see before. Take the trash out and somebody's digging in ur dumpster, that happened to me, and I didn't know if I should just throw the hefty bag in Oscar's home or should I grab the Mase out of my Italian underwear and show them why South Beach is so spray can sexy!  That can throw u for a cursive loop when that goes down at the break of dawn!

What is the reputation of South Beach guys and dolls?  I still say that every 'hood is different here in Miami, in that sometimes just how a person dresses can sometimes show where they reside...What's this South Beach look that eye keep on talking about?  Well, let me see...u have the trendy look, with the guys wearing holes in their jeans, skateboarding with clashing colors and designer brands...tank tops with board shorts and $200 pair of Diesel or Dior shoes!  I think with guys, as with girls, it's amazing how we (Wow!  That's still after all these years to say 'we'...) can look so borderline sleeping on the beach sand messy and then if we go out at the end of the night, we look Damon Dashing!  Guys usually get cleaned up with those V-neck tees and soft European jeans with some limited edition kicks, and it's on.  That's kind of tha look, sometimes our look, sometimes far from it, still the South Beach look for tha fellas is unique...it has flashes of style, and flashes that I don't give a @$%&!  U have to look close and u see the signs of the mulah...as I like to say it's the "I Got Money!!" attitude, and I'll chose when and how I'll show it...guess that's true Miami Swag.  Really is...

Tha ladies...a South Beach gal....u got the shoulder off the shoulder, with tha athletic bra showing...laced up boots are the common trend, for girls in general really...u got tha sunglasses, of course, been seeing a lot of glasses with the white frames.  What else...Many Sobe girls have tats, but they're smart about it, it's not the usually "Tramp Stamp" (Am I allowed to say that!), on the lower back, that was so prevalent when I first came down to the fantasy island.  That's so 2005....now the ladies are putting ink in some remote places from calves to shoulders, or in the front, right above there Eve's lines (Clue, they point to the apple pie!), and we're seeing more on the boobs too, like 80s style.  When the ladies go out...heels, heels, heels, still rule tha day.  I still don't know if I'm a fan of the wedge shoes!  They cool with the outfit, but after seeing so many girls trip on the sidewalk or walking up like vertically, it seems like u trying too hard.  I mean if we at a club or party and folks start to run out the joint...I might give u that "I love u girl, and u look good and all, but...eh...u might just either have to take off those 3.14 wedges or u might see my Road Runner smoke!!"  Just kiddin', but u never know what may jump off.  I find that many of the "South Beach" girls really know how to dress when they go out.  It's not really trashy or anything, I think that's because most of the folks who live in the hood are like 25 and up, so they are past that "I gotta prove something" era, they know they look good, and it speaks for itself.  The way I like it...oh I forgot, the girls in the hood to represent when on the beach or in the gym...had to throw that in.

Don't know how I got on writing about that, but...just never know how much longer we'll be down here.  Sometimes we wonder if it's time to give that call to Moms and Pops and be like, our job is done down here, I've done what I was sent to do, it's time to move on....but whenever I think about dialing that 219 area code, seemingly the Great Personal Assistant in tha sky, says, "Not Yet."  It's been a unique experience down here...it's been fun...it's been tough...but I don't think I'll trade it for anything in the world.  Really weird...I still see the folks I met when I first came down from South Beach Local bus drivers, to this homegirl who's mad cool at the spaceship Publix grocery store on West Avenue.  I talk a lot about my life, and how it's this and that...maybe I need to show more pictures of the sights and scenes of our life in The Land of The Beautiful People (Physically it really is like the waiting room for a Hollywood movie audition.), and include real life videos like of our trips, perhaps parties and sporting events...

Do we have one more Salt n' Peppa push in us?  Can this diary hit one more level?  I'm starting to write like it's just us and the diary, which is dangerous.  Cuz that's when u'll REALLY read some krazy glue stories, and get the most in-depth look into who we are as a person, and where we are going.   This is gonna take some faith, but we are going to try to make this diary even more fun...and real.  Maybe years from now, they'll dig this thang up, and be like....this is a masterpiece.  

Hopefully it won't take that long...possibly it has already been one in the making, and this is just the plastic wrapping on the painting....I'll only do one of these in my life...guaranteed!  Don't try to steal it or even replicate it, cuz it'll be spotted a fake a mile away. 

This here is...signature...

"It's Not Easy B'in Green."

I gotta play Kermit's anthem right here!  I might just cry!!

Feeling good...really good right now!  Right now, listening to ESPN's Los Angeles radio station, with the post game show following a Lakers win, late this afternoon, which was proceeded by a Heat victory up in the Big Apple.  So its always a good day when our squads both pull out a victory.

We are about to get looose!!  Like never before, should be a lot of fun...eye cannot get over this, I was looking for plane tickets from Miami to Ibiza, Spain, man, they want a cool $2,000 for a roundtrip ticket.  That's a lot of chulpas, but if u think about u going to one of the hottest spots on earth, I can understand.  They claim they have borderline a "riotous"  nightlife over there!  That's so funny...I love to dance and just get it in, just because, so we shall see what's up with that trip.  I'm in such a travel spirit right now...and plan on going around our area, to check some things out.  There's so much going on down here, it's crazy.  Many sights to see, and fun to behold, and we gonna just live, bro.  Gonna be very enjoyable.

It seems like we are looking at life through a whole new Nikon  lense.  I feel rested...that's been the debate over the last few weeks.  To go hard or just rest and renew our mind, body and spirit.  I know how precious life can be, so it's difficult to "not be out on the court".  But now, I feel like, I'm not gonna be in a burnout state of mind.  As things are picking up in our life, you want to be at ur best...Our Coach in the Sky, knows which buttons to push or how to lead us to take this night off, and wait...that makes our life unique.  Now, we are anticipating what's about to jump off.  Cuz we have no idea whatsoever...I could speculate, but I wanna just live in the moment.  Not jump ahead of ourselves or anything...just be calm and see what pops off.  I just sincerely feel like it's gonna be good.  For real...

I'ma keep talking about this thang, because I feel like it's our M.O. (What does that mean anyway?)  But embracing the struggle is so important...and u never know who may give u a word of encouragement at the right time...the other day, I was working out at "the spot".  Sometimes I really need motivation whenever I can find it...I get into these ho-hum moods where the spoiled brat, "seen it all, done it all" attitude can creep in and eye need that extra push...especially now...so I was on the second floor after doing my post-workout stretch, I was about to put my white foam roller away...and as I was walking with my head focused on heading to the luxurious locker room to get my stuff, when all of a sudden I hear a "What's Up Brotha?"  I turn and look and it was the gent, who by his accent looked Russian, and was rockin' a Man U jersey, so I turned as he was on the Ab machine, gave him some love via a street handshake and kept going.  But as I was walking, it hit us like u never know who may be or was watching you.  Maybe he saw us before or watched us do our workout, which is really unique and serious..But...

I needed that.  We all do.  We've been saying this for some time, "That even though a girl knows she looks good, she still needs to be told she's beautiful from time to time".... "U can't make apple pie if u don't have apples!!" (I'm sorry that was just said, and is totally off topic! But is very intuitive...this post-game show is crazy 2nite!)... But what I'm learning is that the...this is about to get controversial...the more u "have" or the more...whatever I'm gonna say it...the sexier u look, sometimes messes up with ur mind, and the striving to be a success can be more of a Sahara desert than anything else.  I know I hear the crickets, but I gotta talk from what we KNOW!

If u've experienced it, u know what I mean...if u haven't are flipping me the Yardbird right now, either keep striving and u'll one day say, "Galaxia u're right" or just keep doin' what u doing, cuz somebody, somewhere knows where I'm coming from.  

Kayne once said, "The people highest up have the lowest self-esteem."  When I first heard him spit that line in 2004, I was like, that's interesting....now, I borderline wanna call him a genius!  Now does that mean, that I think I'm this Narcissistic guy who thinks that he has it all or is a that he's God's gift to the world...I could go two ways on that...One, I'm really humble type of guy, in my opinion, WAY TOO HUMBLE, in that I just write and talk about personal experiences that I've been forced in many ways, to go through, and I have to talk from my heart, no matter what.  Two, I can and should have the ultimate confidence, swagger, ego, in and of ourself, and the power of God, because I KNOW what we've been through, I KNOW that we haven't skipped, hopped and jumped over any stages towards success, and also, if u don't think "u're tha best" or if "u're sexy" well, guess what...it's becoming very rare in these days that somebody's gonna come along and tell u that...

That's why I couldn't dig, some folks, specifically girls talk about how they look like "a pig" or like "lard" when they look good and are cool to me.  Well, Austin, that's how girls are...eh!  If someone says that about themselves, then how do u think that comes off to somebody who may be interested in you.  I tell u how..."No bueno!"  It's in ur attitude, I've come accross some beautiful dolls who are plus-sized as could be, but I tell u, their attitude and how the carry themselves, makes them more attractive than a pair of conflict diamonds from Sierra Leone!  That's truth..which is why I believe u should just make up things, if u have to, to make urself proud...it's called self-motivation.  I'm not talking about putting other people down and all that foolishness, hecky-naw! But to make urself feel good, even when u don't...

I can say that with confidence because I've been in certain points in our life, where u know ur doing right or looking right, yet there isn't much in ur ear to help motivate you....which is why I say that above Kayne quote is so on point.  All our life...I don't know why I'm talking about this, but we in it now...all our lives or in most of our lives we've been taught to "Be Yourself".  But I don't think folks know how hard that can be!  Sometimes being urself can lead to some lonely places...or being urself can make u seem conceited when u just want a quiet time to urself...so true.  Well, no matter what that may bring from loving sports to loving coffee (I still really haven't had Cuban Coffee yet...huh.), I still believe being urself will pay off.  

Different is Sexy.  I read a great article in the LA Times this morning about plastic surgery...and I'm not hear to talk about that cuz I love girls and guys who may had it done, but what got me was this woman talking about the Hollywood scene, and we know how competitive it is, she was saying how sometimes when u have the surgery done, u take away the "character" look, that surprisingly most of the producers and TV folks actually want.  So when u may do a nip/tuck, that can actually take away your competitive advantage that you have over other actors or actresses or models...so u short, u just become "another pretty face."  Very interesting.

So if u connect that to our lives everyday, sometimes we can lose our "competitive advantage" trying to be something that we're not or trying to be like somebody else.  This is some intriguing stuff we on tonight, but I speak from experience...there was a period down here in Miami where like all the girls I had an interest in  seemingly had a boyfriend who was in the drug game.  Or had rumors of it...so I was like, shoot, is this how u get the sexy babes?  Maybe I should start slinging or whatever, no joke, I would call some names, but I protect the innocent.  Things can happen where u like, Ok, I feel like I'm on the right path, but it's taking so long...where I look over here, and the grass looks greener (that's a double meaning since we live in Green Miami!!), and the crowd is doing this and that, why don't I stop and just be like everybody else.  It can make u think...

They have a saying in life about folks being "afraid of success".  And that hits on exactly what we talking about tonight.  Is me being successful gonna lead me to be treated differently?  If I wear this sleeveless dress, and show off my arms, even though I've been working out like crazy to get that lithe look, are my girlfriends gonna think I'm too good for them?  All kinds of things can hold us back from showing our true colors.  What I'm being forced to do, and others as well, is to learn how to accept who you are, especially if you're striving to reach unforeseen levels of life.  U can be distracted, oh yeah! But it's how u react to those things...if u let them get u off track or not.  I'm a project developing like an adolescent on a daily basis...but I'm liking the people we've endured, and the things we've encountered.  We still here for some reason...and we're still writing, even though I wanna take some time off or just end or diary like, "I've said all that I can say."....but evidently we haven't.

I just write from my heart...simply from our heart.  Like I said, our life is so unique I feel like we need our own TV show...speaking of which, I need to do a video, it's a little overdue, wouldn't you say?!!  Ok, that's enough, I shoulda wrote more about what I encountered today like this boy/girl couple making out in the park, then like right next to them, this guy/guy couple making out in tha park!  But, just never know where our diary may lead.  Our life has some great stuff in store, some fun place, more stories, more involving beautiful ladies, and just pure fun.  Life is too be lived.  And I'm starting to realize that we have moved from just a rich life full of fun...I can honestly say we are now living in a true stage of...

True Wealth.

Stay true 2 urself...the Galaxia needs that!

"Ready Or Ready!!"

The Fugees...remember this joint.

"Happiness isn't something you find...it's something you create." - Pastor J. McGizzy

Oh, what a night.

U know, we've been doing some thinking.  Are we too real?  I mean, have we internally, and externally reach a point in our life where I'm being too honest about ourself? Anybody, who is/has/will know us, especially now circa 2k12, will know that it's on more than ever.  Our dye....a-ree....has been very detailed.  I've been thinking, are the subjects too intense?  Should I stop talking about life as it happens and just sit back a tell aqua-down stories about Jack and Jill fairy tales?  Or should I stop being positive, talking about fun, or even mentioning a word here and there about God?  How about this question, even though, our life is in a turning point of stages, should I just shut this thang down and become....normal?  I can tell, we about to get it in tonight...

First off...Billy Boy, I'm gonna get that list to you for our annual Spring Jams CD (12 years and running)...but for now I have to keep it 100, and write about what's been going on....Earlier today, we listened to this playlist that we have on our computer titiled "MIA" which is a collection of some songs that make us or remind us of our times here in Miami.  Who woulda thought all the drama that would have unfolded as we got off that plane back in Summer 2005.  If I would have known then what I know now, would I have even gotten off of it?!!  So much...good times....tuff times...fun days....lonely nights...u name it, and we've experienced it so far.  And know we are at this point in our life where we see change, yet sometimes don't feel it.  Our faith in our core beliefs and values are being tested to tha Energizer Max...u have a life in which many would die to have...sometimes I feel like, as I once heard, yeah it's cool to be us for a day or even a week, but what about a month?  What about when u have to decide how to spend all this cash?  Or when somebody u...it's just a lot of stuff, that goes unhidden...YET I know that other people can relate to our journey, whether they want to admit it or not.

Restraint.  That is something that goes hand and hand with patience, and one in which I've been forced to encounter.  And it hasn't been off the "I'm bout to cuss u out" type either.  Just remaining calm even though...by nature we are a semi-patient person.  Over the last, I say, decade or so, we've been forced to wait in line it seems.  It can be so frustrating....like for instance, our diary...I'm starting to believe that no one walking this Earth has stories like us...and they haven't been by choice either!  There are days where u like, Man, I wish our life can blow up in the manner and vision that I so clearly can see.  All these other folks are talking nonsense and getting their quince minutes of fame, without even doing something positive or affecting peoples lives...guess we're being prepared for 2 hours worth huh?!  But it's difficult to be patient in life.  Really is, especially when u feel like u've been more patient than anybody u know, and now u tell me I have to wait in line to get my piece of the pie, when I slept outside before the bakery even opened?!!  And this guy who just woke up, he gets to "cut" through all the cold and rain I endured, and I still gotta wait.  Is that right?

Is our confidence high?  U betcha...but I'm dealing with the fact that sometimes the hottest girl in the room doesn't always get to asked to dance...so that's where I'm at, and u wonde...stop reading, right now, if u don't feel like u gonna wanna hear this heart written words....u wonder, are u doing the right thing?  Or are u on the right path?  Or flat out is it even worth it?  You may live here or there, or have the Beckham abs or have multiple bank accounts around the world (we gonna open up another one, probably in a week or so), but at the end of the day, u wonder, is this really satisfying me?

I was around town, having a good time, but I could sense that "the hype" surrounding our life can lead to some very egotistical thoughts and actions...and we all know pride cometh before the fall...that's why we keep preaching, I guess, about enjoying life and having fun.  That's the motivating factor for us to get outta bed, that today could be a very enjoyable day to have fun...period.  This is real talk.  Like tonight is a night before a lot of stuff hits another level.  May need to get a personal assistant for real!  And a chef....I'm ready to Wok 'n Roll Express, more than ever...just because I realize how much we've grown do to what we've been through.  Experiences, especially painful ones, can really be such a motivating factor...if u let it.  I used to not want to let things happen...definitely with our social life.  "OMG!  Why did I ask this girl out, when God u KNEW she was gonna say "no", just a flat out waste of time." ...but at the moment, u didn't know how things work out or how they can...change.

I'm the ultimate risk taker in many ways, that's another reason why being patient can be so Tim Burton-some...lost my train of thought...oh well, must've not been important...we starting to see how precious life can be, and how certain things can be the premium fuel in ur sportscar of choice. Oh that's so good!...cuz once u move up in ur driving vehicle of choice, the fuel u need to go, must change as well!!  So u are no longer going through just the basic 1st grade trials of life, u gonna need so true experiences and/or pain, to fill ur gas tank as u take on the ride of ur life.  I can stop writing just on that alone....oh yeah, y'all!

Deep, deep, deep...when u really think about it.  Let me stop right there...I've been doing too much "thinking" instead of just living.  I get in a thang where u want everything to be so...purrfect!  I keep more lists than a Dean than all the Ivy League schools combined, bro!  Write down what I need (how come nobody's hustling a pack of socks at stop lights when u actually need to pick up a few pairs!!), write down all kinds of stuff, where I need to go and do...and who I need to do.  (Just joking!)  I talk a lot in freakish ways I know, and I've thought about who's reading this...but u know what, this is who we are.  I mean, that's one of the things we say when it comes to love and relationships...appreciate them, celebrate them, and learn about them mentally, physically and spiritually.  I mean, I love the great Love Guru in the sky with all my heart and soul, but when I'm with that special someone, I'm not gonna be playing, "What a friend we have in Jesus" in my tapedeck!!  I'm probably gonna be playing somethin'... like this.

We don't play when it comes to that, u better believe that...real brief...I was thinking about our diary, as it's so personal, but so released for anybody from Tokyo all the way to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, can read this thang, whenever and however they want too, is all that we write about gonna come back and haunt us?  Like with future loves (did I just write that plural?) or with jobs or with the media...u tell ur diary...ur diary, if u really write, is a true definition of who u are as a person...that's why I encourage everyone to do...something.  I think shrinks...I mean psychologists suggest that to their patients.  Write down ur emotions, say what's bothering u or what ur dreams are...it may not be in such goofy detail as this, but believe me it helps out...a lot.

I'm at a point in our life, as u should be as well, where u can't be just go hangman'ed up on how people look or look upon u, as long as u're being true to urself.  I'm not gonna be untrue to all the lessons learned or how I feel "in the moment" or even if I myspeled some words in the past....my dream is to have the most real diary available to the Galaxia.  We've lived a unique life...some times I don't feel like writing, but we are moved to jot down something....Why, I don't know. Maybe because u just never know when this is all gonna come to a stoppage.  U might type in ur address bar, austinogalaxia.com, and see those pictures shoot by, only to find a picture of us sitting at a press conference podium announcing our retirement.  It's very real as I say that...but until then...

I'm gonna do our best to bring u into our Galaxia...and just hope u enjoy the visit....and perhaps, just perhaps...

U might stay.

Austino Galaxia.

A Fastlane's Rain.

Remember this TV Show...Fastlane?

Man...talking about our life getting weirder by the moment...ok, I'm on Amazon.com, checking out all these albums...oops!  Cds, that we are looking for to complete our collection...u know what let me just list what and who I'm looking for and am gonna get here soon, cuz...just cuz (How many of these do u have?):

-N*E*R*D: Nothing
- Wham! :  Their first album...don't laugh!  We ain't messing around...this is DJ fullfillment stuff!

- Jon B. : Comfortable Swagg (Can't find my boy anywhere.)
- Jesse Powell : Jesse (Slept On!)
- Lorenzo Owens : After The Show and Encore

- The Gorrilaz :  Don't have full albums by them

Others we'll scoop up are:  Gloria Estefan's Little Miss Havana and Madonna's MDNA.   So as u can o' corn see, this is a pure music lover, DJ list.  I love music so much, its such a biography in our lives.  You hear a song and u smile and think of that person who u were digging at that time, or a song that brings back a memory... I know when my Grandfather past away a few years ago, during his burial, and as the shots were being fired by the veterans of the military the only song that ran through my mind was this.  Who can I talk to now??

But a surprise came up as I was on Amazon...u not gonna believe this one...

I was checking out some stuff.  I really like the King of Pop, Michael Jackson and have just about everything he officially released...all except the soundtrack to E.T., which I heard he did.  Sure my Pops has that on album at tha crib.  If u could only see the collection of albums and cds and 45's (not guns mind u!!).  IT'S SERIOUS!!! So I was looking up to see if Mike had any other albums I didn't have or remix cds...nothing.  So I type in to see if anyone was selling this remix cd of Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, that we found for like $5 or less about 3 years ago or so...Mannn.....

Ok....four...yes, we said ...FOUR people are selling it.  Any guesses on the price???  Going once...twice...not sold!  Let's just say they are selling a used copy of this CD beginning at the low price of  $274.99 !!  Yes, used.  Brand new, they asking for $349...flat!! Check it out. Now, we had no idea of the value of this CD...but evidently this is an out of print (oh, either a music lovers favorite or least favorite words to hear!)  CD, that was limited edition, and only release in Japanese Market.  Those three strikes make it, in our opinion, the most saught after CD from Mr. Moonwalker himself...without a doubt!  And we are blessed to have it in our IKEA crate to my right down below.  Reminds me of that Jay Z Grey Album which Danger Mouse mashed up with beats from The Beatles.  That CD is like impossible to find.  Perhaps we'll be talking about these two extinct classics down the line as our foreparents talk about live recordings of Frank Sinatra or Elvis or Miles Davis....Super Kool!!

Still not done talking about our day...so after working out today, we came out of The Perry South Beach to find it raining outside.  So I waited underneath the property's overhang, and what I saw was nothing but South Beach at it's purest form...I just put on Miss Estefan's Greatest Hits to put me in tha mood to write about this wackiness!!

I had to keep notes on my Whiteberry Torch, just because it was too much....So I'm at the corner of 23rd and Collins watching the rain Sierra Mist on our newly paved, tourism spent dollars, roads...

As I walk out I first see this woman, standing in tha rain on the curve of Collins, seemingly attempting to catch a taxi.  But no one, I mean NO ONE would stop for her.  I'm like, I wonder if I gotta call Rev. Al Sharpton in to gather a protest over this travesty!  But that ain't the kicker y'all...the Brangelina announcement about this story is that the woman...I'm not lying...was holding a cake in her hand which looked like it came from Publix!  U know the kind with white froasting  everywhere and the words "I Love You ----" on it.  The cake was on sale so u cut the words out of the other person's name, and u give the supposedly rectangle cake to ur love...which the cake now resembles a albino Pac-Man character!  What the heck, right!!  Man, I make a great boyfriend don't I??!! But the rain was just tap dancing on the plastic cover of this cake, and shorty didn't move or anything.  Just maddness...I kept hearing "Hey!", then followed by a screeching of tires speeding by...it's funny, yet it's not!  She finally caught a cab.

What else...tell me...what else?  Ok.  These two boys were skateboarding back and forth right next to me.  One of the boys has his Bieber/Beatles hair cut going on.  The little guy couldn't be more than 7, glancing our way as he was enjoying life, the other one was older but sagging his pants as he was kick and pushing back and forth.  Rich kids don't sag in their clothes do they??  Had the old school Nike's on...the first one had those European  Royal Blue Nike Cortez's on, which connected us too, because I was rocking the red ones.  Kids just having fun...saw this future beach girl rockin' the D Wade Black Heat jersey while on her bike.  Another sight was this BOY like 11 years of time on this earth, literally standing on the curve, while the rain was coming down, not caring while wearing his black tee shirt that said Armani Jeans on the shoulder in white letters.  That shirt, had to be like $75 plus...folks don't care anymore.  Or should I say, rain and Miami folk is a weird mix.  Period.

Headphones are back y'all, not those buds I even put in my ear as I talk sans the hands...But those Steve Bartman block out everything including ur Mama (No offense Moms!) headphones that were popular in the 80s, are popular once again.  What else...this model looking chica was rockin' a nice BCBG type of dress, but I noticed her kicks...the were these black and white high top sneakers.  She jumped into a taxi that "honked" behind her, I almost ask those girls, "Can I get a ride?  I'll make u a celebrity, I promise!!"  I better be quiet or I ain't gonna have any lines to use this weekend!!

I love South Beach fashion, u just have to live over here to spot it...the Pink Rain Boots this baby doll was rockin'...the guy had this Varsity Blues Blue and White trucker hat on, turned backwards, and the words on it simply said, "If u like 2 party, then U'll like Me"!  Love it, shoulda Hugh Jackman'd him for it!  Describes us so much...there I go again...ugghh...But the fashion statement, of fashion statements...I should said something to this girl who walked by with her friend rockin this huge black widow beach had, while wearing her covering to cover her black swimsuit.  A cutie with that Jersey gal tanned skin, kinda mini-plus sized (u know what I'm talking about, that's why u smiling!!), I shoulda, especially when she gave that glance...Oh well!...

But the sight of all sights was this guy riding his bicycle by me, in tha rain...all the while wearing a Whole Foods brown paper bag, on his head, and upside down to boot!  And the thing was this dude had his hat folded in the form of a boxed Pirate cap!  U cannot even make this stuff up!  I thought seeing this cat walking around the 'hood with a yellow Lay's potato chip bag on his head was wild...but this Captain Ahab character was just smiling in the rain as he glided by...Only in South Beach...

After all that I began to walk home.  On Lincoln Road, there was a tee-shirt in the window that stated "Single & DTF" on it.  If u have to ask, u don't need to know what that all means.  I should get one with my address on the back of it!  That'll be wild, I already have the camera set up in my room (I actually do all joke aside!) almost like Ice-T's on MTV Cribs just minus the tripod.  Shhh, don't tell.... (Ok, there's waaay too many secrets being reveled tonight...)....

So after that, I'm near Miami Beach Community Church where I see this dog, wearing what looks like to me to be a blue car tire around his neck!! Not joking...I get closer and it looks like a sleep pillow u take with u on a plane that wraps around ur neck!..."Awk-ward!!"....Guess I'll let that slide....what I won't let slide is the fact that this cha wow wow or pit bull or McGriff the Crime dog looking animal had his mouth...I'm so honest when I say this...the Scooby Doo had his mouth wrapped around with black ducktape just like he was part of a crime and the criminals got him!  U know what I think...this little Lassie was dog-napped by these foreign Mob guys, they took him to Lincoln Road to scope the joint out, they Dogtaped him up, just in case he wanted to give a werewolf howl on this Friday the 13th, and then on top of that to make him in-cog-need and normal, they threw this Firestone tire/ Salami maker around his neck that the found next to a Miami News Times stand...all to make this pup fit in!  See u got to get inside the head of the criminal...I knew those episodes of watching Matlock would soon pay off!

As u can tell, another wild day in tha day and life of Austino....we just having fun, and seeing what else is gonna be worthy to speak upon...Our life is a movie, really and truly is.

Now do u believe when I say it's a blockbuster ?!!!

Alrighty now...it's halftime of the Heat/Bulls game...doing something different, once again, watching the game online via TNT Overtime...it's really a cool way to watch the game.  They got different camera angles of the game, that focus on Lebron, Dee Wade, and Derek Rose...plus they scan the crowd, show inside the huddles during timeouts, u see so much more...all at the same time!!  I got four cameras going on the screen...mad cool.  It feels like I'm up inside the UC (United Center)...reminds me of those good ol' days going over to Chicago with tha family so many nights to see Jordan, Pippen and Rodman 'nem play...Love hoops, I once thought about calling to get the replica of the United Center...maybe one day I can get the American Airlines Arena one they have up in the offices...u never know...

There's a supreme fire burning inside of me right now...and no I'm not about to stop, drop, and butter roll it out right now...I just feel...life should be lived to have fun.  I know I keep saying that, but I so strongly believe u should work hard and have fun...work hard first.  Why not work hard and have fun at the same time???  I was watching this documentary on Hulu, called 49 Up...some folks may have seen it, not us cuz I live such a sheltered life where the last good movie I saw was Free Willy!....but guys and gals, I was borderline excited as I'm watching it, and almost scared!!  This documentary is about seven kids from London in which a guy interviewed them every 7 years of their life....so basically he got them when they were kids, and followed them all the way up to the age of forty-nine.  He has video interviews through their childhoods to college years to marriages and divorces to where they were at now (or when the movie was released).  I'm like, "Whoa!" To see the physical changes yet they look the same in a way...to see them talk about their new lives, with kids, and as grandparents, and to hear their dreams at the age of lucky 7 and how their lives took some wild twists and turns...whew!  Too much, but woke us up even more.

Hit us right in the chest like a Tyson punch!  Why??  Cuz this is exactly what we are talking about, how life blows by so fast, before u know it, it's like...over! But to see all that transformations right in ur face, it's cool, but I don't know if I need to watch the rest of it.  I'm just a kid, and probably, well not probably, will never grow up....just because I'm a lifetime member of the Toys R' Us crew...platinum status, by the way.  Age is nothing but in the mind.  It's a thought process.  If u keep saying ur getting up there in age, guess what then, u are...if u think u don't have a shot in the world in reaching ur dreams, even though it's never too late, guess what, with that negative energy, u may not have a shot.  Life is a hard journey, believe me I know.  I tackle with mental motivations and challenges every day.  Do u do this or that?  Rest or go out for a fun night on the sand?  Ask her out or let her come to u?  Wear black Armani undies or no undies?...Sometimes it's good to be Commando in Chief of this galaxy!!  (Just kidding on that one!)  But...

As we been saying, embrace the struggle and "Staying the Course" (Thanks Coach Spo!), really been our rallying cry.  Now our life is about how to kick our life up to another level.  I think how u respond to things possibly going ur way can tell more about urself, than when things are going all heywire jackman!  (Is that a real person?!) We all have to find our motivation somehow, someway...I know I've been sound like a Joyce Meyer's blog entry but I have to write how we been feeling, and that's how we've been feeling.  As we say, I get kind of not lazy, but can get into....Oooh!  Oooh! check this word out I read today...can get into a state of entitlement.  U feel like life owes u the world just because u do this or that, that is when complacency steps in.  That's why all these challenges in our life has occurred, just trying to spread the message of hanging in there, during tough times, and realize that the end isn't necessarily the end, we should know that by all those Rocky movies!!

I haven't talked about girls yet...huh.  Should I tell a story tonight, we still have some more....naw...I've talked too much as of late about relationships, probably waaay too much.  Whatever, it's who we are, and if u gonna be real, might as well be real, correct.

I gotta get some rest...I have soooooo much going on right now, that these last 12 minutes of this Heat game might be the most peace I can get before the TMZ lifestyle really kicks in...and believe me, u have no idea, it's a lot of fun stuff coming up!

Let me repeat...Lots! I don't even wanna think about it...so I won't.
