so some of you out there have been giving me grief about my profile picture being misleading. ok, well it is. it's from 5 years ago and 40lbs ago.
so here's my most recent picture from a few nights ago. yes, i've aged. yes, i've gained about 40lbs over the last year. it's a pic with 2 college classmates (GO BEARS!!!), Wei-Jean (who's now married to another good friend, Jason Garland who's an airforce fighter pilot) and Charlotte (one of the people i respect most in this world) at Racks Shanghai.
the last 18 months have been the most unhealthy of my life. in addition to opening a bar, a club and drinking every night in excess, i've not had any time to enjoy the sports and activities that i used to - namely skateboarding, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, playing volleyball, basketball, soccer, martial arts, etc.
so i've finally decided to do something about it. i was going to buy a car in Shanghai, but i've opted for the healthier option - i bought a bicycle. and not any ole bike, its a pimped out Giant lowrider wit...Read more
so since i've been splitting my last 8 months between HK and SH, people have been asking me the same question, "which do you like better? HK or SH?" that's a tough question to answer because to me its comparing apples and oranges.
i used to live in Shanghai back in 2001. i loved it then. i dont know if i love it now. there are things i love about Shanghai or Mainland China in general - i get to practice my Mandarin, massages are cheap (i get at least 1 a day, sometimes 2 or 3), maids are cheap, food is cheap, taxis are che...Read more
i'm probably the worst blogger ever. lately i barely have time to sleep (averaging 3 hrs a night for the past 4 months) so i have trouble finding time to do things i enjoy nowadays. i dont even get to skate anymore (btw, i miss 6keyz...r.i.p.). so now that i've found a few minutes:

btw, i'm in Shanghai for the week to work on Racks Shanghai. we're looking to open our doors mid-Dec so i've got a lot of work cut out for me. but it's been almost 7 years since i officially left Shanghai so i've got to get back in the mix and will be out and about quite a bit. i'll be at the Cavaliers vs. Magic NBA game on wednesday. i'll try to take some pix and post them after the game. if you're in SH or rolling though, holla.
Thanks to all the peeps who've been supportive of Racks MDB HK. we've been kicking ass and taking no prisoners. i'm actually splitting my time between HK and SH now as we get underway to get Racks MDB Shanghai launched in mid-Dec. will keep you all posted.
Also, keep tuned in for my MTV EMA Party coming up in HK on Nov 14th. 24Herbs will be performing as well as Gza from Wutang Clan. I'll update this blog with more info as it comes.
Also in the mix, Nas, Sean Kingston, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh and hopefully many more. ...Read more
