New Breaking Bad 5/24/09

WHOOO. Trippy man, I can't believe Walter let that bitch die, I mean I can but damn. He is becoming a hard case. That chick was all saying you'll never know if I will snitch on you or not. I would have done the same shit in his shoes. Jesse is going to be a major problem I bet. I know Walter gives him a gun but I don't know who he's gunning for. Maybe Jane's dad? Maybe Hank and Marie? Either way were going to see who those 2 bodies were in front of Walter's house when his shit was all shot up. Fuckin trippy man. This show is getting crazy. I know Gus is going to be in one more episode. Maybe its this last one. I am kind of glad that chick Jane is dead, she seemed to be such a bitch, fucking with Walt and manipulating Jesse. I wonder if Jesse will make it through the third season. I bet the person bringing the stuffed animal to Walt's house was somebody trying to pose like a friend to kill him or some shit. MAYBE IT WAS GUS! SHIT! I bet it is. That money is going to mess Jesse up like Walt predicted.

The last episode was cool though, with the birth of one daughter and the death of a nother. The dad's talking to each other about the same couple was trippy also. OK i think i got it. Walt tells Jesse to kill Jane's dad because he met him and realized he was a drug guy, and blames him for Jane's death.

I dont know man but I love this show.

New Breaking Bad 5/17/09

Damn dude. Damn. Walter realizes after putting it into words, he's no drug dealer. he just knows how to make the drug. Just like the chick in Weeds. He doesnt want to deal with the headaches of selling the shit. This new character, Gus, seems like a good fit for Walt. No nonsense business man. Gus also seems like he has the power to fuck with Walt or even kill him. Walt may have to cut his ties with Jesse, I think, in order to successfully make money with meth. That Jane chick is becoming a crazy bitch who may end up being the demise of Jesse, perhaps at Walt's behest while Gus is the axman. I hope we get to see Walt do the deal at the truckstop. That was SUCH good acting by Bryan Cranston, frantically grabbing the 1.2 Million dollars worth of drugs out of a dingy apartment, hastily throwing the drugs into a used garbage bag. They keep torturing Walt, his daughter is born the day of his biggest drug deal. He chooses to do the deal, rightfully so, because he may not be around to see her 1st birthday if he doesn't make the deal. I think Hank will eventually bring down Gus. I also liked seeing the escalation of Combo's death scene. I hope we get to see a bit more with the other rival dealers in the area. I really liked the montage of people selling in the episode where Skinny Pete gets ripped off by Spooge and the druggie bitch from "Domino."
I definitley want to see more going on with Gus. His character seems very interesting. I hope that Skyler leaves her job but I know she won't because of the sexual attraction she has for the silver fox. That may be setting her up to be more sympathetic when she finally finds out that Walt is involved in drugs. I think that will be reserved for the last season, however.

Custom LED Lighting Products

People want to use LED's. They don't care about the cost, obviously when they want to replace a $300 fixture with an $1100 fixture. And they want 500 of them, and they want them yesterday. I am glad that people are seeing the benefits of this new technology. As a fixture manufacturer, I am very happy that there is a trend leaning toward the use of LED's. I will continue to fund my addiction for vinyl toys and custom sneakers through this trend. Bwaahahahahah!

Manifest at Columbia College today!

Cant wait, it has been a year since i graduated, I cant wait to see what the people in my class have done to graduate! will figure out how to post pics soon.

Lighting n Thunder

Shit is dope. It reminds us we are human. The rain beating down makes you realize that your a spec on a drop of a fragile corner of the universe. At least it does to me.

Breaking Bad - Sun 5/11/09

This episode marks a new chapter for Walt. He is now learning to become the mastermind of his empire and also be a father. We are also seeing a developing need from Skyler to be noticed by someone. She feels unloved I think. She liked when Walt was helpless and fragile, then he needed her attention and she liked his dependence. Now he is very independent and finding a new lease on life. We will see him return to teaching but it may not be with the same vigor and attitude he had before. He may use it strictly as a front. We are also seeing Walt become more comfortable with the role of enforcer, and he realizes you have to swat some flies, and keep on your guard at all times. I like the way the show is headed right now, with Walt not needing to make drugs anymore, but now he has this desire to lead a double life.

back from lightfair

SO, Im back from Light Fair NYC 2009. didnt have to bloody George Ryders lip. But, I did catch his stupid fucking lecture or healtcare lighting and why he knows about it. He kept mentioning Kenall, the company he works for, and why they are superior. I am goin to bring this to the attention of the IES and try to get Kenall bannned. Fuck them man, they are a bunch of pricks, self promoting assholes, they don't care about the lighting industry, they want to patent basic designs that we at Kurtzon originated and didn't patent. The owner of Kenall, James Hawkins, his brother is some patent lawyer or some bullshit so it makes sense they would try to patent shit. All I know is those bastards are going to the 7th circle of hell when they die. They should move their company to China, then they could steal all the designs they wanted. I am going to make it my business goal to sink Kenall lighting. Fuckin bunch of no talent copy cats who can't think for themselves. Their designs are weak and innefectual.

Light Fair was great tho, it was good to see old clients and you can tell who the scumbags are and who was out there to learn and become better reps for Kurtzon. I liked seeing the father / son dynamic in Pyramid Lighting with Rudy and Chris Gilly.

Gotta run to a hospital in Elgin to take flicks of our new product. Then we have to develop literature on the other new product, the LED cooler light, which will end up in 60 grocery stores all around Boston. This is the beginning of my successful design career in lighting

Cartels

Its hard to keep all the cartel's straight, here is a link that helped me figure out who to pray to.

This is for Cinco De Mayo, I forgot to mention that.

No Mexicans I talk to give a shit about cinco de mayo. Which makes me think its a gringo holiday made up so we can drink coronas and take the day off.

Speaking of drinking, if anyone wants to hang with me when I get back from lightfair @ 4:30 pm May 8th, we can drink some beers on my porch while i regale you with stories of Lighting and the wonderful fair that bears its name.

Going to Lite Fair NYC 2009

I am going to NYC today. Cant wait! Hotel rooms, lighting, schmoozing, room service, presentations, flights, new city! Awesome. New breaking bad is great.

Lightfair 2009 NYC

Going to NYC tomorrow for lightfair 2009 > http://www.lightfair.com/lightfair/V40/

I hope I don't see Kenall's George Ryder in a public setting otherwise it will be a showdown.
A physical showdown, which will likely end up with me beating the shit out of a +55 year old.

I hope I do get to walk the show. See some sick LED's / take flicks. I want to hit Canal st. get some shades and cologne for 1/8th the price I would in dept. store. Also hit the Kid Robot store for some overpriced plastic shit. Then Google for lunch with El, my cousin who works for Google NYC.

I hope to G-d my $3K worth of samples make it there OK.

I lost my dolce and gabbana glasses on the bus 2 days ago. I feel like chump, now i have to wear my nerd frames to give these presentations, granted Ang likes them, but I think I look like a dork. Whatever. When I get back I have an excuse to get some sexy new frames. Maybe even contacts. Fuck it. I hate them but we are living in a material world and I am a material dude.

Can't mess up my projector. 1080p bitch.

Meeting with the Alderman of the 28th ward (Update)

So after meeting with the alderman, I was left with the sense that EVENTUALLY, things would be different. I had hoped to establish my organization as a reputable company, I did that. I wanted to open a dialouge. I did that also. I left behind a catalog and my card and emphasized that we were a union shop that employs people in the Lawndale community. This was something that struck a chord with the Alderman. He then offered to come into my facility and tour the plant. That would also give me a chance to show him the insane parking situations we have to deal with on a daily basis.

BULLS WIN!!!!!! Game Seven in Beantown!

Rajon Rondo tried to start a fistfight. Paul Pierce got his nose bloodied. Kendrick Perkins fouled out. Heinrich missed a point blank layup. Brad Miller hit a 3. Joakim Noah finally learned how to dunk. If the Bulls can minimize the turnovers, CAPITALIZE on free throws, and box out the big duo of Kendrick Perkins and Big Baby Davis to get some rebounds, we have a chance to get to the 2nd round. This was HUGE victory for the young Bulls, the Celtics looked old and frail by the start of the 3rd OT. Ray Allen was their one bright spot. Had it not been for him, we could have closed this one out in regulation. He has the uncanny ability to catch, shoot and HIT a three. He was in the UC since 3pm practicing his tre ball. We need Ben Gordon and John Salmons to stop being so damn GREEDY with the ball. Pass it once and a while, wait for your shot, be patient. That was the main difference I saw in offense.
