OH NO... WE SUCK AGAIN!!!!

I can live without my PS3??? I dunno Rob Schneider...

Yeah... So my PS3 just straight up crapped out on me... So Al needs to send his precious to friggin Sony so they can fix the fan that apparently now doesn't work... Lame... On the bright side I'm going to be out of town for the next week so that should ease the pain a lil' bit... Not much but a lil' bit...

Anyway enough babbling I just wanted to get that off my chest...

Life is Just a Fantasy...



Duuude... A lil' commercial break... Check out Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory Season 2 on MTV (boy remember the days when they actually played videos???? But then again that was when the cable box had a row of buttons to select the 20 some odd channels... Damn I'm gettin' old...)

I've been out awhile but I've been workin' like a dog... literally... But that has all changed my friends I'm now a free agent again! Basically that means a brotha got fired... LOL But thankfully I've got a bright spot in that my mother is getting an interview for a job... In Louisiana.... So future broadcasts may come from the LA (and I don't mean the city of Angels... Which by the way when I mentioned that via my twitter I got some LA blog bot that started following me... LOL).

I strangely feel ecstatic that I lost my job... I went to work everyday and came home mean mugging... Which in turn took a toll on my health. I will miss my co-workers because the folks I met were some good people, and as the saying goes you should always surround yourself with good people. Unfortunately the good people at work don't translate to good customers on the phone, and it definitely DOESN'T translate to a company that fails in it's overall organization... That's all I'll say in regards to that but I was done and looking anyway...

So the new adventure... Perhaps if my mother gets the job in Louisiana I may be relocating to the dirty dirty souf... I also applied for some positions out there so hopefully I can roll and do work in another profession... Or another scenario is my mother looking for a spot for a restaurant where basically I end up as a one of the head chefs! I enjoy cooking and chefin' so I guess that I could take my talents in another direction!

Anyway enough of the babbling... Unless you forgot your Unisom, then keep reading...

Bottom line I'll probably be blogging more again and hopefully working on getting my company off the ground! Oh and do I see the return of the podcast??? Whoa there turbo... Let's just concentrate on trying to get some funny ass stuff on this blog again...

Later folks!

Deauxin' the Deaux

The logo you'll need to remember!

One of our concept shirts based on one of our boards
DeauxBrahs - Grungy
DeauxBrahs - Flarey
And the DeauxBrahs - Boldly Go (Wonder where that one came from...)

Wow... Another long layoff... For those who are some reason still following this blog (If you are, I'm assuming the beer and liquor hasn't run out yet...) I've been working horrible hours and I've been working on a side project that me and my brother came up with when I was out of a job.

We've started our own skateboard company! I'm sure many of you are wondering "WHAT?" That's why you haven't been writing??? LOL, no but it's been a labor of love getting shirt samples and board samples tested. It's something that I truly enjoy! Anyway, I would be remiss if I didn't mention a good friend who's been on this dream train with me and my brother. My homeboy Paco Montoya, who is one of the proprietors of E&P Designs made our logo for us, so a HUGE thank you goes out to him for helping us realize and finalize a dream!

So what's next you may ask for this DeauxBrahs brand? I dunno, I'm thinking we're just gonna try and get our buzz going here locally and keep selling the shirts and boards on the web and out the back of my trunk... LOL Who knows, maybe snowboards and other "action sports" apparel may follow, but whichever way it goes I'm ready to Deaux the Deaux!

Check out our board shop site http://www.boardpusher.com/DeauxBrahs
The official website soon to follow!

OMG...

It's hard to believe that so many public figures have passed on this week! Geez... I sincerely hope that to all the folks who have passed on are now at peace, especially Michael Jackson. He was such an icon during my childhood so his death was sooo shocking and as of today finding out Billy Mays passed as well??? Infomercials are gonna be very empty for a while until they find the next big pitchman.

This further proves my thought recently that this week has been the cruddiest week ever!!!

Twitter has taken over my life...

Damn you Twitter!!!

Holy crap it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess the main reason is just being so darn tired from working... But another reason is just being so engulfed in this Twitter thing. Hard to believe that I originally joined Twitter to get some updates from Sara Bareilles... LOL Now I pretty much twit or tweet (whatever the hell they call it...lol) everyday. I even managed to get an app for my iPhone that's how I roll everyday... Oh man, oh man... It's just a horrible day when I don't Twit, I feel like I'm neglecting my responsibilities... Anyway if you wanna follow a brotha hit up my Twitter

Okay... So I TOTALLY Got Sick...


Man I HATE being sick... Nothing worse in my opinion, actually thinking about it yes there is a worse thing.... Still having a wicked chest cough after you're allegedly "done" with your sickness!!!

So it started on Friday, I had a funky tickle in my throat and I was jubilant that I was able to switch with one of my co-workers so I didn't have to work on Memorial Day. I was thinking "SWEET! I'm gonna go watch me some Terminator Salvation and relax!" Only bad thing is the cough didn't want to go away... Oh well, let's grab some dinner with the fam and STILL coughing like a mother!

So I head to bed after dinner and next day which was the day I planned to see Terminator, my chest is hurting and I'm not feeling so hot... I'm thinking "aww crap, not the flu again!!!!", but despite my mother's concerns I didn't head to the doc yet in the event it was a 24 hour flu or something. So the day goes on and I feel worse and worse... Went to sleep and was coughing while I was asleep, how do I know you may ask? I kept waking up... THAT'S HOW HARD I WAS COUGHING FOLKS!!!

So Sunday rolls around and I'm still feeling like crap, so I finally have to admit defeat and tell my mother time to head to urgent care because this is scaring me! Go to urgent care and they diagnose me with bronchitis! HOLY CRAP! So they give me some anti-biotic and an inhaler (Don't ask folks I have no earthly idea, why they'd give me an inhaler for bronchitis... But what do you expect when you don't have to pay for insurance...) So I also get a note from the doc to stay out of work until Tuesday.

So Monday rolls around and I still feel sick as a dog, and figure Tuesday is a wash... So I called into work and let 'em know I had a docs note. So Wednesday rolls around and still feel like crap and I go as far as to go to work to deliver my doc's note and to let my managers know that I'm not in any shape to work, so thankfully they let me head on home.

So now that it's Thursday, I felt good enough to go to work. Still felt like crap taking calls but at least I still was employed for the time being... I unfortunately have a VERY strict attendance at work and I've already shot my "silver bullet" once... So let's hope a brother stays on...

Funny Tees and Graduation Gifts...


Yeah poke this...

I don't know what it is lately, but I've been on a funny shirt kick... Courtesy of DGK (Dirty Ghetto Kids). As you can see they have a bit of a twisted humor... lol! If nothing else people get a good look and laugh at the Pilsbury Doughboy with gold teeth!

Adam with his "pro" board from DeuxBrahs Skateboards

Oh, and my younger brother is graduating from college! Woo Hoo! When it became kinda "official" I gave him his graduation gift. It's the 2nd board from our little outfit, DeuxBrahs Skateboards (courtesy of boardpusher of course). I wanted to get something unique that no one else would think of. It was neat to see his face when I pulled it out for him! He thought I was pulling our first board until he saw it had his name on it! So that was a really cool thing that brightened up my day especially since I had a bad day yesterday. I was just really stoked to see that he was happy with it!

I think I told him to enjoy his last days as a college student because real life sucks.... LOL
Love Ya Bro!
