The chase
The kick
The goal
The victory

Music is Therapy

Our hats goes out to Fuse Tv for this great commercial. Amazing Video! We absolutely agree with you. Music helps us overcome many obstacles in life. What about fashion... do you think that fashion can do the same? We don't mean "shopping", we're talking about the things you put on. Ha!

Underrated!!!

Who's Paula Garces? Well some of you only know her from the movie, Harold and Kumar, but Paula Garces have been around for awhile. She appeared in shows like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Shield, & CSI: Miami. Also in other not-so-great movies but she still makes it on our Hot List. We think Paula deserves a little bit more exposure. Although much older than she looks, she's still beautiful. For now, we'll keep an eye out for Paula's next move. We'd love to have her as our model. Ha!

Viva La vida!

Amazing commercial! Apple scores big with this Coldplay ad. Although just a 30 second commercial, it has become a huge hit on youtube.

Viva la vida! Live the life! For us, we always like to say, "live life to the fullest".

The Great Drought

How long has it been since San Francisco won a title?
Before we get into that, lets make some noise for the new champions... the Boston Celtics. This gives Boston their 6th title since 2002... Patriots taking 3 Super Bowls and Red Sox with 2 World Series victories. Well if you're talking about basketball alone, Celtics went on a 22 year drought before winning this year's championship. Anyways...

The city of San Francisco

Giants
Last highlight: National League champions in 2002
Last World Series victory in 1954 when it was still New York Giants.
54 year drought.

49ers
Last highlight: Made it to the playoffs in 1998
Last NFL Super Bowl victory in 1994.
14 year drought.

Warriors
Who truly owns the Warriors? Most people would say Oakland but before it was changed to Golden State, it was S.F Warriors. At the time, they still had the same owner(franklin Miuli, who also co-owns the 49ers) so it wasn't official. Hmm Well they're still the only NBA team with no city in their name.
Last highlight: Made it to the playoffs in 2007.
Last NBA Championship victory in 1975.
33 year drought.

San Franciscans want something spectacular but it looks like things aren't that easy. All 3 teams are going through their "rebuilding stage". New coaches for the 49ers! The end of Barry Bonds Era! False hope with the return of Chris Webber! What's next?

Well, the Giants are struggling and Warriors are still trying to figure out what to do for next year. Fortunately for the 49ers, they have all the weapons needed this year so we think they're gonna kick-ass!

"Get Smart" is out & Hathaway is moving up!

Who will be the next big star? If you ask us, we'd probably put our money on Anne Hathaway. With her cute-innocent look & sexy figure, she can pretty much land any role she wants. For awhile, Anne was known for her role in The Princess Diaries(2001) but finally broke free from the "G-rated" movies in 2005. A nice little performance in The Devil Wears Prada, adding much credit to her acting career. Her next role, as Agent 99 in Get Smart, should also give her an extra push up the ladder. The movie is out today so hopefully it'll be as funny as it looks.

Preview

Amy Amy Amy!

We're talking about Amy Winehouse. What is up with this girl?

Amy, please get off whatever it is that you're on. You've got talent, drive, and success... why put yourself in these situations? What's eating you, stardom and fame?

Apparently, she fell on Monday morning and was rushed to the hospital by her father. Thankfully, her manager's assistant broke her fall so it sounds like she's gonna be ok. We just hope she gets better physically and mentally.

Bad Call for Kanye

Kanye West made a bad call at Bonnaroo, a four-day annual music festival in Tennessee. At the festival, Kanye was scheduled to perform at 8:15 pm, but because he wanted to give the fans more for the buck, he decided to push it back til 2:45am to help intensify the Glow-in-the-dark Tour's lighting. This means that fans will have to wait 4hrs later to see him perform. If that's not bad enough, his show didn't start until 4:30am.
At 2:45am, as scheduled, the crowd shows up expecting to see kanye. An hour later, still no Kanye. At 4:15am, the crowd grew antsy and started chanting "kanye sucks" and giving him boos. Finally, at 4:30am, kanye came out to a disappointing crowd. Obviously, a bad call on this one. Next time, just gotta go on with the show. Regardless, he's still one of the great entertainers.

Stan Winston

A brilliant visual effects artist, Stan Winston, died last Sunday night. Most of us don't really know who he is but we should stop and pay our respect to true talent. Stan was an Oscar winner for movies like Terminator 2, Aliens, and Jurassic Park. He also worked on other movies like Predator, Batman Returns, Indiana Jones and Iron Man. Unfortunately, after battling cancer (myeloma) for 7 years, he died at age 62.

Thanks for giving our generation some masterpieces to cherish. Mr. Winston, you are the man!

Going green? The new CFX

As you may already know, Hollywood has gone mad over green motoring. One in particular, the Toyota Prius, the most unattractive vehicle ever built. A gas-electric hybrid that can hit 60 mpg. Alright, maybe it's not that bad. Speaking of ugly cars, have you seen the Pontiact Aztec? Ha! Anyways, Honda just released the Hydrogen-powered CFX today... running only on hydrogen and electricity. This means that it only spits out water. Crazy heh? It could be mother nature's friendliest vehicle.

Picture of the Pontiac Azzcrack. No, it's not a hybrid, but it sure is ugly.

Here is the Honda Prius. If it wasn't for the environment, would you get one?

Here is the next best thing... the Honda CFX! In comparison, the CFX triples the mileage of a regular gas vehicle and doubles the mileage of a hybrid.

Good luck trying to get one. Most of the cars from the first batch have already been sold.

More Obama!

The game & the festival

On Saturday, we went to the Giant's v.s Padres game. After a disappointing game, we stopped by the Union Street Festival.

At the game, the minute we got to our seats, the Giants were already down 4-0. Not a great way to start the game. Sadly, after a few innings, we realized the game was going nowhere.

After the 6th inning, we started walking around.

Checking back on 7th inning and Giants were down 5-0.

Here we are looking outside and getting ready to leave.
Final score 5-1 Padres.

After driving around for 45 minutes, we finally found parking at the Union St Festival.

Stretching from Gough to Steiner St (7 Blocks)

Live bands

Music+Alcohol=Dancing

A lot of vendors displaying/selling clothing, accessories, photography & artwork
Plenty of food to eat
