Good ol' Octoblake, Halloween!

Oh la la! Almost time to put on those costumes, consume too much booze, and loose your morals! (and possible your dinner!)

I do love Halloween. The past 2 years I've gone to Pittsburgh and I have never regretted it. This year we all have a very festive weekend planned out. First, Friday the roomies and I are going to throw a banging pumpkin carving party and potluck. After some early recovery, the crew is going to head down to the rally being held in DC, should be awesome. Then Sunday, probably more body abusing. Nonetheless, I am incredibly stoaked for the upcoming events.

It seems every day, I'm constantly looking forward to something. One that moment comes though, and i get that satisfaction from whatever i was looking forward to, i divert my attention to the "next thing". Being content is something I've been working on, but it's a tough society to live day by day in. Especially being 21 with a plethora of obligations and expectations on my shoulders.

Here are some classic shots from some past Hallows Eve's

Have fun this weekend, be safe, and enjoy the frightful festivities!

Respect

I'm a bit jealous...

Eric just got his first ink job. Not too shabby at all. Great lines and fantastic colors. He went in there with the idea of an American indian and an eagle and came out with this. The artist was David Cavalcante and he got it done and Tattoo Paradise.

It kinda reminds me of the Sailor Jerry tattoo style, but with a classic western feel, instead of Navy.

Looks great man! Can't wait to see more

Fall is Here!

This great weather and good times I've been experiencing lately has inspired me to be a little more proactive in my digital narrative on topics I find relative. Since it's been a while since I've put anything of interest in here, here are a few photos and recent memories to snack on

I'm glad to say I've officially hit the precious age of 21 and am able to consume alcoholic beverages, you are forewarned. Some snaps of the night

The Homies in Attendance

Deciding to wear a suit with a tiger tie was a ferocious, yet elegant, but smelly idea

It's great when you find some people you can make something out of nothing; Turn pure boring shit into extravagant shiny gold. Some moments from a trip to a Swedish furniture market

No trip is complete without ice cream

Met up the other day with some good friends. My buddy Jake and I talked our friend Troy into calling out of work and hanging with us. Right on Troy! Damn the Man!

After deciding not to hit downtown, we got a group of people together and biked over to Court Side Thai. Mike and Jeremy took an old tandem. They looked like an old couple from reno but smoked us going down (and up) the hills to the restaurant. The place is located downtown Fairfax almost right next to Auld's.

For some reason, the staff at the place treated us like young royalty. It could have been their fantastic service or their motivation for a hefty tip, but I felt like being in a group of well dressed individuals snapping photos gave us some un-deserved attention.

I was feeling a spicy curry and got a yellow coconut-based sauce with pork and steak. Extra rice of course.

The meal was super dank and the thai beer they had wasn't too shabby either, a bit light (and expensive), but honestly I'm not really that picky about what beer I'm drinking as long as it's cold (preferably). See the expression of pure thai bliss presented in Troy's workskippin face?

If you are ever interested in some great Thai in the local Nova area, I totally recommend Court Side Thai. The food was delicious and the environment was great, the food wasn't that expensive either. I'd say around 10-20 dollars a person was the average price spent. For some reason though, our time at the restaurant felt a bit like a dream, or something out of a corny indie film. Maybe they put something in the food or maybe it was just the good company. whatever though, we were left smiling.
