Hello to all the boys and girls out there in t.v. land, here I am with another update. I really need to get premium so I can put my own pictures up instead of just generic web pics (and boy do I have some good ones)...

As many of you know, I broke my leg back in May and have been handicapped for these past 3 1/2 months...hasn't slowed down the partying that much, but I've stopped going to clubs with stairs...

On another more exciting note, I am Free & Single once more!!! (quick recap: was dating this Yugo model chick (msg me for pics) and now I'm not.) She was causing way too much drama within my group of friends (especially one other guy, who, incidentally, was the guy who introduced me to her) which resulted in everyone being very uncomfortable when we were all out together and almost escalated into a fist-fight. (Although, for the life of me, I can't understand why this guy would want to fight me, he's like a buck thirty sopping wet, but I guess it's some sort of macho thing).

Anyways, that chapter is officially closed and I'm on to bigger and better things (nothing on the radars just now, but it's the weekend and who knows...)

So for those of you that watched the Olympics (specifically Women's Beach Volleyball) you'll know that the Americans won it (AGAIN!!) with Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Here's the celebratory pics:

Haha!! That's the best!!!

anyhoo, more updates on the way...keep tuned in

"Actually, I get drunk on just one drink...problem is, I can't remember if it's the 13th or 14th one..."

So Happy Bastille Day to all the Frenchies out there! <insert dripping sarcasm> As those on my Quiz Team will know (and the rest of you may or may not know...) July 14th is Bastille Day or French Independence Day, the celebration of the Monarchy of France surrendering to the people and allowing them to create a "democratic" republic. Now after a couple hundred years, France has become a socialistic, terrorist-harboring country of surrender monkeys. Vive la France!!

If you're bored: go to Google and type in "french military victories" then click the "I'm feeling lucky" button....heh heh.

So this pic is old but still good. It's from the actual press conference where they announced the changing of "French Fries" in the U.S. House of Representatives cafeteria to "Freedom Fries"! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Olympics are coming up!! Very excited...Actually the U.S. Womens team will be in Hong Kong this week for a tournament this weekend including China and Italy...wish I could go...tournament play starts on Friday night. This is the last tournament before the Olympics. Here's a couple of players that will be there:

So this is Logan Tom (Stanford) currently an outside hitter for the U.S. women's team. She's hot so here's another of her all cleaned up:

From the Italian team, is team captain Maurizia "Chicken" Cacciatori. She's probably the top women's setter in the world right now which means she has hands like sandpaper, but she's still pretty hot:

But enough of that...i'm actually waiting to see the men's teams play...Those guys are fuckin' awesome!!! In case you didn't know, I used to see a girl that played volleyball for Oklahoma (6'1", right-side "weak-side" hitter)....here's a picture of her tastefully done in black & white, http://www.czabe.com/images/snicky/snicky124-3.jpg

that's all for now....livin' large and in charge!

What's goin' down??!! So I broke my leg back in May when I slipped and fell off a half step outside of a club called Guandii...I'd like to say that I have a more interesting story for the accident (wrestling aligators in Suzhou Creek) but I don't...I wish someone had taken pictures of my foot and dislocated ankle cuz it looked awesome. It was completed out of joint and twisted to the left (gross!).

All's well that ends well I guess...now I have 6 metal pins in my leg and the x-rays look like an ad for Home Depot. I'm still on crutches and so I'm a real pain in the ass for all my friends, especially considering the fact that I still go out and party. This means that my friends have to help me get around and open doors and push people out of the way in clubs. Not that bad, I guess, since we always have a prime-time table and I can just sit and drink, but honestly, my friends have really gone out of their way for me and my handicapped ass.

So thanks to everyone that came to see me in the hospital, especially Norm and Janet, who came everyday and brought me food and company! Monster props to Norm and Henry for sneaking in booze so that I could get wasted while still on my morphine drip!! Totally Awesome!

stay tuned...more to come!

So I'm currently looking to set up an actual web page to document my hedonistic lifestyle here in Shanghai for all of you out there living vicariously through others. It will also allow me to keep all my friends updated on my life, through pictures. Going to pick up a digi-cam this weekend. Just got my iPod a couple ago too. It may be the coolest single gadget ever. I'm awaiting delivery of my iTrip radio transmitter so that I can play my iPod over FM frequencies in taxis. As the primary mode of transportation for me here in Shanghai, taxis are an integral part of my life, yet Shanghai radio stations are for shit. (unless you like fobby chinese love ballads....)

Big News: Looks like this may be my last year here in Shanghai, I'm currently deciding whether or not to return to the US after my 4-year term here in the Shang-hizzy. No decision yet, but I'll keep everyone posted. What this means for you, my friends, is that this is the year when you should visit me here in the Pearl of the Orient. Don't miss out on free lodging and hospitality. Everyone's doin' it, Shanghai is THE hot spot in China!

So, wow! It's been a long time since I posted, but I noticed an increase in postings from friends so I figured people are getting back on Xanga. Just to update: SSDD in Shanghai, same shit different day....I'll be spending another Christmas in this God-forsaken pagan communist hell-hole, but they put up Christmas lights all around Xin Tian Di so it looks really nice! (fyi, Xin Tian Di is a commercial development with boutique shops, restaurants, bars, shopping mall, for those of you in Dallas, it's like a cross between Highland Park Village and the Quadrangle downtown near McKinney). Anyways, the lights are pretty and at least these pinko bastards got the commercial side of Christmas right.

On a much brighter note, Jessica Alba returns to our lives via the big screen in her theatrical debut, Honey!

Holy Dark Angel, Batman! The movie has Hip-Hop and Jessica Alba, it don't get much better than this, I guarantee!

I know it's a sappy, sugary-sweet PG-13 movie, but it's the holiday season, when stuff is supposed to be sappy and sugary-sweet. Did I mention that it stars Jessica Alba and has a Hip-Hop soundtrack featuring Missy Elliot?!! In Theaters Now!

So....just saw that Dark Angel Season 2 is available on DVD as well now...woo hoo!! But the show gets really weird in the second season.

Been watching downloaded episodes of 24 the 2nd Season....just finished it a couple of weeks ago. Wow!! that's a good show.

5th of July party next this Saturday at the Shanghai Raquet Club (a bastion of expatriate imperialism) with BBQ, sand volleyball, tennis, pool, swimming, and bobbing for apples. Should be a good time, will need to have a tan before Saturday though (gotta find a tanning bed....where oh where in China, where they sell skin "whitening" lotion to prevent sun damage, fuckin' pasty lookin' chinks!!!!) ARGGHHH!

Pic of Ms. Alba:

been a long time.....

all for now.

very excited about the Labor Day Vegas Excursion!!

Hey Everybody! Sorry there's been no updates, I've been on Friendster and apparently it's psychologically addicting. So for all of you that know me, you should already be connected to me on Friendster, if you're not, I guess you're just not cool enough....hah hah!

So everything's pretty cool here in the Shizzo...we had a huge R&B party last Saturday that was crazy. Sponsored by Moet & Chandon!!! It don't get much better than that. Word.

Since I've lost Premium this is really starting to suck....I hate linking to pictures, but we gotta have the Alba right? So here you are:

Actually, not today. Today you're getting a picture of a really hot chick that, amazingly enough, is connected to me in Friendster (which means she's connected to some of you guys too):

Can you believe it??!!!

Check her out at her Friendster site: http://www.friendster.com/user.jsp?id=58307

Like my buddy says, "You gotta love Import Models!"

God Bless you and God Bless America! U-S-A! U-S-A!

So just talking about Texas again...as they say, you can take the girl outta Texas but you can't take the Texas outta the girl....Jessica Alba lived in Ft. Smith, Texas while her daddy was stationed there and even though she's now in L.A., well like I just said, "you can take the girl outta Texas....". Which is kinda like my buddy junk_sampan, except he's a guy and so you would have to replace "girl" in the phrase above with "boy" and then it would work okay, i guess....anyhoo, here's a little pic to show what I mean:

"Heaven help us, baby's got her blue jeans on..." - Mel McDaniels

Just a little somethin' for ya'll country music fans out there, i guess just tankjuice really....it's a good 'ol song from awhiles back.

Huge week last week starting on Wednesday and going straight on through Sunday morning. I feel sick just thinking about it. Will post pictures on ofoto.com as soon as feasible. It's easier to explain all the partying with pictures, needless to say it was crazy. Here's a pic for you while you wait:

Good stuff, good stuff....

zhi shang! yi ge ai!

word up! one love!

Oh Yeah, saw Matrix Reloaded yesterday, just picked up the dvd, pretty good copy. Holy Shit! Can't wait till November.
