To summarize, basically there’s a parking lot near Stadium station where they put this Banksy imitation up to intimidate car thieves, and a local “street” artist called The Dark decided to go over it. Not because he supports car theft obviously - here’s a brief explanation he provided:
The Vancouver Police Department has been using graffiti inspired stencils in a fear-mongering campaign against car theft. Given the aggressive graffiti paint out program run by the City and the VPD it seemed like a bit of a contradiction to use “crime” (graffiti) to fight crime. The only thing left was to follow their outstanding example.” - The Dark
Some of The Dark’s work for those who aren’t familiar:
"...Every single time I ask myself and God, "why"? I have realized that God has always chosen to take the people that he feels have served their purpose in life and are living life with no worries. At times I question it because I feel that my life is filled with struggle and strife but I'm learning that this is just God's way of life. He's waiting until I've served my purpose and done good all around me. I live my life learning something new everyday trying to love deep and love with all my heart. And now God is giving me a blessing to live for."
on a side note.. i was tellin' a few of my friends.. If Lebron wins league MVP.. i will stop hating the warriors forever, and direct my hate towards the Cavs...
It makes me sick hearing he is even considered for MVP.. his team is 4th in the EAST.. the garbage ass east.. if you consider him a candidate then you have to consider Dwight Howard, Chris Paul is way more deserving than Lebron..
so for the past.. who knows.. i havent gone out... ive been chillin' at home either sick.. tired.. or bakin cakes... i guess it's good because i'm saving money by not drinking.. or eatin sushi.. well today i get to see the sun rising off the shores of thailand.. jp.. capitola beach.. i would have rather gone to carmel.. but what're you gonna do..? mmm.. lots of stuff comin up.. i get to see the lakers win.. oh so yeah the winner of the contest of my laker warriors sweepstakes.. is my DAD.. so.. catch me with my dad at the game.. Laker'ing it up..busy months ahead... bdays.. partys.. weddings.. Oh my...
oh yeah on a side note.. i might be moving to SF.. not anytime soon.. not 100% sure.. but if all else works and falls into place.. looks like i'll be seeing the lights go down in the city by the bay... shout outs to journey.. but why you might ask... well my bosss is looking to put someone into Local 38 which is in sf.. that means i gotta go school in san francisco.. and work in san francisco.. waht does that mean to you? nothing.. waht does it mean to me? a whole lot.. i get Bread that is actually buttered.. i get to collect vacation money(sort of like a bonus) which is 5 grand every 5 months.. enough bragging..
anything else new? yeah I'm FULLLLLLLLL
muzac time.. What’s up with everyone being from Chicago nowadays? They have Kanye, Twista, Do Or Die, Lupe Fiasco…RKelly, and - okay, I admit, I can’t really name anyone else. Still, they have their own thing going on - maybe not compared to New York, L.A., and the South, but they definitely have a solid music scene. Even non-mainstream artists like The Cool Kids and Kid Sister get their fair share of shine, So it is only fair i put another "Kid" on it.. the "KIDZ IN THE HALL".. They don't have a full vid yet to this song.. but here's a preview..
Vince Carter, Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Chris Webber, Earl Boykins, the list goes on and on.. but you leave the warriors.. and you are guaranteed to be a better player... who do we have up next...? I give you Eduardo Najera
so for the past week.. ive been sick... i think my immune system failed.. i havent even gone out this whole week.. so yeah.. i guess i just got stressed from something...
Let's go to sleep in Paris, And wake up in Tokyo. Have a dream in New Orleans, Fall in love in Chicago, Then we can land in the motherland, Camelback across the desert sand. Take a train, to Rome, or home, Brasil, forreal. Wherever I go she goes. Wherever I go she goes.
so after party hopping last night.. Me, Millare, & Tran started to head back to San jose.. we ended up taking the wrong road.. and ended up on the "Old santa cruz Highway.. I'll tell you think i aint ever gonna go through there again.. if youve never been there.. it's maybe a long stretch of winding roads with minimal lights.. and the truth is i was freaked out because ive never been there.. and my 2 homies were kinda ehh about the road.. so dont ever take that road.. at 3 in the morning.. looks pretty scary..
so for the past weeks.. ive been receiving packages in the mail of stuff ive ordered of course.. from tickets to handlebars to Bananas.. haha..
i love it.. so anyways.. anyone still wanna go to the Laker warrior game with me.. let me know wasup.. lower level yo...
anyways.. i finally get to take a break from working in Brentwood (hour and half drive from where i live) for the next week.. you can catch me at the costco by my house.. on hostetter.. Grindin'...
well the weekend begins.. time to start bottle poppin'..
so seeing that the weather is starting to look clear for the time being we all should start planning trips to the beach before april showers comes through..
Bonus video. for those who remember shout outs to you...
for those of you who didn't know.. My crossover is so bad.. i'll probably end up kilin' myself in the process.. yeah i suck at basketball.. so bad.. i can't dribble.. shoot.. or even pass the ball.. i don't know why.. my momma is better than me.. i am 100% sure i can't beat anyone over 4ft tall..
i watch the game.. and love it.. but don't play it..
GO LAKERS
