2010 Recap - A Year-End Review

Merry New Year!

2010 was pretty awesome for me -- 2011 will keep it going. I got some more goals to fulfill and am looking forward to completing them.

With all that yappity stuff outta the way, I want to wrap up 2010 by listing a few of my favorite blog posts from the past year. These are the posts that made me crack up to myself, even after reading them a year later. I hope ya'll enjoy!

Croutons - This was a post where I explain the extraordinary piffness of croutons. I also define 'piff' for the first time in this post.

I like Rhianna - Rude Boy - This post was where I talk about how Rude Boy was the 2010 song of the year and how it made me feel whenever I listened to it.

Kicking Hera's Butt - I always crack up when I watch this, I don't know why. BTW Hera just got married so shoutouts to her and marriage and stuff.

Singapore's Swim Trunks - It just amazes me how they could overlook the design placement of this thing hahaah

Merry New Year to all! Let's toast to the douchebags and bring in another year of success!

The Epitome of IDGAF

WOW. I cannot stop laughing at this.

After the first two hurdles, he said, "I don't give a fk!" and just bopped all the rest with his chest LOL! How did dude get taken down by an inanimate object though? Dude got clotheslined into confusion -- he said, "where am I?" as he went into his homie's lane and bopped the last two thinking it was his.

I don't get it though, don't these dudes practice? How are you not gonna be able to do your event, dawg? LOL

Get this dude on the Olympic team ASAP!

John Wall doesn't need to be taught the dougie

Why is dude super filthy at it though? I was hypnotized, *pause*.

Kelly Rowland is prettier than Beyonce Knowles

We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
- Kanye West, Power

Kelly is prettier than Beyonce. Yeah I said it.

People say Beyonce is the prettiest Destiny's Child.

Nope.

I mean, Beyonce is nothin' to scoff at -- don't get me wrong, Bey can stay. I'm just saying that Kelly is the epitome of ebony beauty. This is truth -- tell me another African-American woman that looks as good as her, at least in the entertainment industry. Please don't say Nicki Minaj. Don't think it's possible.

C'mon mannnnnnnnnn... OBLITERATES Beyonce. Don't act like you wouldn't drink her used bathwater. Don't act like you wouldn't boil her panties in water and make chicken noodle soup with it. Don't act like you wouldn't smell your finger if you touched her armpit just to find that it smells like vanilla.

C'MON SON!

Awkward Social Moments Vol. 1 - Remembering Names

You ever meet a person, exchange names, then go to say something that involves saying their name and go...

I hate that.

It feels so awkward to me. It's like.. "Alright, I'ma head out -- nice meeting you.... man." UGH, I know you just told me your name but I can't fkn remember! I know you can just straight up admit it, but I still feel awkward every time.

Then you start employing these tricks and shit to remember their names ("Steve likes, ummm... spaghetti! Spaghettispaghettispaghetti. Alright Arthur's memory, we're good!), but then what if they don't remember your name!? Do you just go and put them on blast and say their name, expect it back, but leave them dumbfounded because they were in your situation before? Or do you just cop out and play it off like you didn't remember either.

Man eff it, I think I'll just put them on blast. It'll make them remember next time and in turn, eventually the world will be less awkward.

I am now sold on the Kinect

How you gonna do a full pirouette though? Dude's swag on super high. Big up's to the dude though -- he kept it real hahah

Funny comment on the video..

Hair is Expensive

I don't know how you females do it.

Animals are Awesome

These duckies in particular.

Singapore's Swim Trunks = Ayooooo

For reference, Singapore's flag...

Now, Singapore's 2010 water polo team's swim trunks.


I know you want to show patriotism by representing your flag and all that, but how you gonna put the crescent moon on your shaft son? Got a crescent moon right in the middle and shit... I mean couldn't yall offset it to the side a little bit -- like one of them Tapout joints? Designer said, "Nah put that shit in the middle, son. Banana crescent print on the banana hammock, son. I like that."

To their credit though, the trunks will be banned after this tournament they are playing in. They apologized to anyone they have offended... or pleased for that matter *pause*.

Anyway, c'mon man.

Money Before Hoes

Save the princess but don't give a eff? Wario's that dude. Mario stay simpin'.

Ice Cream Cake is Not Cake

Pie is so much better than cake.

Cake sucks!

The taste, the look, the class of pie is unrivaled -- there is no equivalent. There's apple, pumpkin, pecan, cherry, blueberry, etc. I mean if there was a pie made out of doo-doo, I MIGHT eat it. MIGHT.

"But Arthur, what about ice cream cake? Nobody can turn down ice cream cake!"

You know what, you're right. I do like ice cream cake.

But you're also wrong -- ice cream cake isn't cake, it's ice cream in a cake shape. Think about that..



I won't lie though I had the Power Ranger ice cream cake from Dairy Queen like 10 birthday's in a row, shit was off the chain! Especially them little crunchy chocolate bits Dairy Queen sprinkles in the middle -- might as well have been crack cocaine for kids.

Pie still reigns supreme.

Repeat 400+ times.

Good shit, Manny -- you dat dude.

Boxing Progress 10-31-2010

Every once in a while, I like to take video of me hitting the heavy bag to see if I've improved. Here's my latest, taken on Halloween:

I'm suuuuper happy with how this looks! I've looked at my older videos and I have definitely improved in most aspects -- all punches are faster, crisper, and harder. I'm not really trying to be a boxer, I'm just a fan. It's a really good work out though, I'd recommend it.

Let me tell you though, it is a damn rewarding feeling when you see that hard work pay off!!

H.A.G.S.

Elementary school yearbooks were the shit back in the day.

'Have a great summer.'

-Kevin Durant

Remember that statement back in elementary school? I swear the first year we got yearbooks that is all everybody wrote, then they signed their names. Then you got those kids that just wrote their name -- I'd be like, 'really?' I mean, we were like 4th graders or whatever but at least wish me a great summer foo, damn.

Then you got kids that just got straight up lazy after signing 2 yearbooks.

'H.A.G.S.'

-Gucci Mane

C'mon dawg. You can't write four words when we spent damn near every other day writing words on that special sheet of paper with the three lines and the dotted line in the middle? Maybe he was the type of kid that pressed on the pencil too hard and made his hand all tired, I don't know.

Then you got your badass classmates. You know, the kids that didn't do homework and looked over your shoulder on spelling tests. When they signed your yearbook, they put an edge to it...

'Have a kickass summer!'

-Mr. Marcus

When I saw that, I was like 'oooooo, ur kewl'. Then I proceeded to sign all the other kids year book like that, LOL. I was tryna cop that 4th grade I-get-in-trouble-everyday-at-recess-but-don't-give-a-fk swag.

Really though, the most important thing with yearbooks was trying to get girls sign your yearbook AND leave their number. This was of utmost importance -- it showed you were 'that dude' to your friends and it showed which girls in class were feeling you.

I would ask the finest girl in elementary school to sign and check all super fast if they left their number. If it didn't, I would get salty. But if I look down and it said...

'Have a kickass summer! I really think your sexy the way you eat your Lunchables and would love for you to share your meat with me. Call me! 123-6969'

-Beyonce Knowles

I was too shy back then though so I never called LOL. But hey it felt good, that's what she said.

Anyway, H.A.G.D.

P-I-Z-Z-A

I want pizzuhhhhhhh!!

PEET-ZUHHHHHHH!!

They sound zooted to me!

Kev Jumba speaking the truth.

I'm with Kevin.

I used to do this -- I used to say 'gay' for everything. I also used to say 'no homo' alot. ALOT.

In back in my engineering classes in college, we used to bullshit before the professor came into class. I start rambling off and start saying dumb stuff out loud. Probably along the lines of, "Man, that barbecue over the weekend was piff -- Fred Meyer's meat tastes so good in my mouth, no homo." People were laughing but then stopped awkwardly.

That's when I remembered I had a gay classmate.



I've turned a new leaf. I use 'dumb' instead of 'gay' and I use 'pause' instead of 'no homo'. My past blog post about 'pause'.

Recognize and prevent that awkward moment! BTW that was hilarious with Kevin eating the ice cream, but pause on alla dat lol

New Art!

Some of my work in progress (WIP): corporate/modern day female model samurai (lol)

Sorry for the nipples, if that isn't your thing. I could make an artsy-fartsy excuse for drawing them, but I think I'm just a pervert.

I'm really happy how this is developing -- trying to improve my proportions and anatomy.

Devil in a New Dress

Kanye West – Devil In A New Dress by Hypetrak

This song is straight nutzo -- been having this on repeat for the past two days. Kanye's been releasing a new track from his new album around a week at a time: Power remix, Monster, and Devil in a New Dress. This is definitely my favorite outta the three.

"Hood phenomenon, the... Lebron of rhyme. Hard to be humble when you're stuntin' on a Jumbotron."

For real, put your hands to the constellations. I can't stop bobbin' my head to this *pause*. Straight got me like..

Arthur trying to be Ippo!!!

 Made a quick video of me doing some rope and bag work in my backyard.

One of these days, I'll be like this guy.

New Shoes

John Varvatos Converse from GILT. Got a good deal on em -- I think they came out to 30-40 dollars? Retail's like 100.

 Pretty sicko. First time I've ordered from GILT online. I'll admit, I don't really wear Converse but I had to get these. Pinstripes!
