2 Commercials That Caught my Eyes

Love Story (1970)

Watch this when you get a chance. It'a a beautiful film. It's a classic film that doesn't get old.

Jaguar CX-16

On my list if I had the money. 2nd of course to the 911. Stood in front of it at the LA Auto Show for a few minutes to really take it in & it was sexy, beautiful, & fast looking!

New Purchase

Recently bought the United We Stand Loafer by Kenneth Cole New York. Love them! Comfort is very good as they are leather loafers. Why is the comfort good? See the bottom illustration to find out. The shoes retail for $198 but I used a $50 off coupon that was sent to me by the brand. Next in line, perhaps if I'm so lucky to be able to buy a pair of loafers from Ferragamo, Tods, Emporio Armani, or Dolce & Gabbana.

My Dream Car

It amazes me how little the 911 changes w/ every design update but still manages to look refreshed & that much better than its predecessor model. I want this car so bad. I can only hope that one day I can become a proud owner of a 911 model.

One of those Emotional Songs. At least For me.

Tacone Replaced Subway

Now my go to place for a quick bite to eat during lunch is Tacone. I've tried their

"Kickin' Fried Chicken" -Liked it!

"Greek wrap" - Liked it as well!

"Mariner wrap" - Liked it the first time around only as the fish hasn't had the same fresh taste since!

"bbq chicken quesadilla" - Have gotten it 3 times now & it has not disappointed.

You get a side of chips w/ every wrap.

Although the best wraps I've had have been from Judi's Delicatessen in Bev Hills I'd say Tacone is certainly a good eatery for good, fresh, fulfilling wraps. And they're a franchise so you've got many locations. I like it!

Here It is!

It's the 2012 BMW 3 series.
Looking forward to seeing it in person at the LA Auto Show. Can't wait to see the coupe version. Although BMW will not be the next brand of car I purchase I still love my current BMW 335I coupe because it brings me so much joy & happiness every time I get into the car. (photo is from latimes.com)

So Sad -

Steve Jobs past away today. First headline I read off the LA Times website. An amazing human being who past away too young. Although I only knew him through the media it's a sad thing to me to see someone as special as him pass away. Rest in peace Steve Jobs. (photo from latimes.com)

New Music That Has Hit my Ipod

Fly Wades

Usually people my age (27) join gyms or if you have enough money you pay a trainer to stay fit. Me, I play basketball. I try to play at least 5 days a week, 1-2 hours a day. It brings me joy, happiness, & feel good emotions. It's the sport I've been playing since a young child. Unfortunately for me it seems like I'm limited in many things. I'm like Bradley Cooper in the film "limitless" only the opposite. When it comes to basketball I'm limited in how much jumping & running I can do because I easily get blisters on my feet. Even using double socks didn't help me out that much. But no more! Ever since I bought, or should I say/write "invested" in my feet by purchasing the Nike Jordan "Fly Wades" the cautious jumping & running is a thing of the past. These shoes are amazing! I paid a little under $100 for the pair but worth every penny. Not only are they comfortable but they have great support & really protect all parts of your feet. Shoes are just amazing. Good quality basketball shoes which was exactly what I was looking for. I had tried on the Kobe's & the Lebrons & other fancy shoes but these really did it for me. After trying them on for the first time & feeling that comfort I knew I had to get them. So there you go... If you are in need of a good pair of basketball shoes then get these. You won't regret it. They offer them in different color combinations but I got the ones in the photos. I love these shoes!

you don't mess with the zohan

Recently watched it & thought it was really funny. I am an Adam Sandler fan so I tend to always like his films but this one was top notch funny. Couple years old & finally got around to watching it.

Simple story line.
Per imdb "An Israeli Special Forces Soldier fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist."

Always love the fact that Mr. Sandler will almost always put in his close friends. Talk about not forgetting his friends.

I recommend it if you want a good laugh.

Zohan was awesome but Rob Schneider's character & his buddies in the film where my favorite though.

One of those Emotional Songs. At least For me.

Came Across This Video & Loved it!

Watch in Full Screen Though

Home of the French Dip Sandwich - Philippe's

Photo from yelp.com
Been there a couple times. Didn't realize how expensive it's. I didn't realize it was expensive because the first time I had their famous "French Dip Sandwich" I didn't pay. But the second time around I did pay which made me realize that it's not cheap at all to eat at Philippe's.

Certainly worth the price of the sandwich as I paid a total of $12 for their "French Dip Sandwich" plus a side corn chowder soup. A 2 item lunch for $12 can add up quickly if it's on a daily basis.

Now, both items were delicious. Will it blow you away when you are happily enjoying the sandwich? Hmmm... I don't think so. It's good stuff. Certainly felt full once I finished my lunch but I couldn't stop thinking about the price. I know of a different place that sells roast beef sandwich's that are just as good & fulfilling for under $4.

I would recommend it though if you are around downtown & looking for a spot to get a fulfilling lunch.

Babycakes NYC

I've said it before & I'll say it again (technically I'm typing), you get what you pay.

Here is what you get at Babycakes according to their website: Refined Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free, Soy-Free, Casein-Free, Egg-Free, Vegan, Kosher

Stopped by Babycakes NYC not too long ago & tried a couple of their cookie sandwiches which were heavenly. Every single bite I took made me want to take on the next bite. You can really taste the quality in their ingredients. Of course stopped by their Downtown LA location during lunch. Location is a bit rough so I would visit during the day then at night. Pricey? YES! Worth it? 100% YES! Life is short so why not indulge in something sweet that will give you such satisfaction.

New Favorite Pizza is...

Johnnies New York Pizza. Its soooo good. I love their pepperoni pizza as well as their spinach pizza. Their pizzas are not thick nor thin. Their just right. Greasy, yes but what pizza isn't. The taste is just so fantastic that I just want to keep eating it. Now its like I have to eat their pizza at least once a week. Unfortunately this week it didn't happen though. They seem to have various locations so check them out. They're not fancy, at least not the one I go to since it's located in a cafeteria full of other restaurants but where they do shine is in their ingredients hence their tasty pizzas which is why they won me over. I of course eat at the once located downtown on 5th & Flower where they've never disappointed.

Pit Fire

Had their GRILLED CHICkEn Panini recently for lunch. Loved ever bit of it. Plus it came w/ a side salad. It was sooooooo good. The salad was really fresh too. Definitely will have some of their food again. A bit pricey but certainly worth it as you can taste the quality in their ingredients. It was such a fulfilling lunch.

Border Grill

Per Border Grill website:

"Enjoy upscale, modern Mexican food in a vibrant setting at Border Grill, the hip, urban cantina from Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales”. Presenting the bold foods and flavors of Mexico, Border Grill has established a new standard for gourmet Mexican fare. With a menu of complex authentic dishes based on the home cooking of Oaxaca and the Yucatan, Border Grill takes Mexican food to a whole new level!"

Tried their location in Santa Monica & it was tasty, tasty, tasty. Colorful decor, good service, great dishes but most importantly fresh taste.

They just opened up a location in Downtown LA which is great because that means one of these days I can head there for lunch. Nice!

Crustacean in Beverly Hills

Had their crab noodles which were ehhh ok. Was expecting a better taste especially for the price. Would certainly give it another chance though. Luckily I didn't have to pay that day as I had won a bet. It's located in "The Golden Triangle" of Beverly Hills so you can't beat the location & the inside of the restaurant is pretty nice. It's pretty pricey for the average joe but if you've got deep pockets then shelling out $100 for a meal shouldn't distress you.

Charlie Sheen in No Man's Land

Watched this film not too long ago. loved every bit of it. I kinda knew I was going to like it for a couple of reasons. Porsches & 80's. What's not to love.
