Who wants to fall in love?

GQ did this feature on photographer Jerry Schatzberg.

Here are some of his pics.

Don't these make you want fall in love with somebody?

I know that sounded girly, but these are just too timeless no?

Since there's no video to this song yet...

Please go buy the new Yeezy album.

Kanye is soo real right now.

Anyway, I posted "Dark Fantasy" a couple of days back, and here's the opening to the Runaway film, which features "Dark Fantasy" as its opening song.

"Can we get much higher?"

Question of the day right?

Gettin' high off this new Yeezy, because this album is next level.

I mean just listen to this intro track...fucking amazing.

Go download "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," or buy it, or something.

Just get yourself a copy.

AM craziness

It's 3:22 AM, I'm still up and I've listened to "Hot as Hell" 5x in a row!

I fucking love that song.

And how 'bout the Canblaster remix? This is pretty massive, but I still like the original better.

Hard to improve on perfection.

So many elements in this remix though. I mean its everywhere, but somehow it all worksss

Southern roots and secret cooking abilities

Not necessarily by blood, but I think I'm the only Korean who has roots to the South.

My grandpa was a Texan, and my grandma came over Grapes of Wrath style during the Dust Bowl.

Her great grandpa was CSS Col. John S. Mosby, "The Grey Ghost," who served under J.E.B. Stuart during the Civil War.

How ironic that a South Korean kid is related to a Confederate war hero.

Anyway, I grew up learning to love artery clogging southern style foods such as fried chicken. Normally, I don't eat this kind of stuff. (Okay "normally" means not during the week, when you're out on the weekends it's sort of hard to say no to something that sounds amazing right? )

Well today didn't feel like normally, and I decided to use the cooking skills that nobody knows I have and make homemade, from scratch, fried chicken.

If you're some sort of fried chicken affectionado, and you're lamenting the fact that I used boneless tenderloins instead of whole chicken pieces you can kiss my ass, because I'm poor as hell and this is what was in the freezer--besides it's healthier. Also, cooking is not something that I particularly love to do. Hell I'd probably prefer to just buy a 2 piece meal at KFC or Popeye's to be honest, but that's not really in the budget nowadays so to the stove I went.

The recipe is a secret that I came up with, because apparently this type of cooking inherently runs deep in my adopted country ass roots, but I will say the meal was worth the effort. Yes, it was better than KFC and Popeye's, at least the chicken was, biscuits would've been nice though. But with no biscuit option, I paired it with the poor southern man's side of buttered wheat bread slices, and an Arizona peach iced tea.

It went down well. Very well.

Maybe I'll start cooking more.

And maybe someday I'll divulge to you guys the reasons why I really don't like to cook.

When style and sports meet

Football coaches routinely look ridiculous on the sidelines during games.

Its become the standard to wear logo-infested, high-tech, non-fitting team "apparel" while guiding your team to an 8-8 season.

They're not the only ones either, athletic trainers can also be seen stuntin' in their Dri-fit or Clima-Cool.

While in college, I almost decided to be an athletic trainer, and one of the reasons amongst many, that I'm glad I didn't is I would've had to wear those damn baggy polo shirts and pleated khakis. (Standard dress issue for coaches and athletic trainers unless you have the "head" in front of your job title: khakis, running shoes, and polos. Shit looks bad I know.)

Anyway, a long time ago coaches looked damn sharp on the sidelines.

Lombardi and Landry come to mind. They were known as leaders and innovators, and they looked the part too.

It's not to say that you have to dress swell to be a great leader, but it doesn't hurt too look sharp while winning Super Bowls.

Just makes things that much more iconic.

Paul Brown


Joe Paterno, Penn State's legendary front man for over 30 years.


Paul 'Bear' Bryant and his houndstooth fedora. Roll Tide indeed.


Hank Stram going minimalist with the logos.


"Lombardi, a certain magic still lingers in the very name."-NFL Films


Sid Gillman. Slim bow tie and bold black frames, hell he could pass for a hipster at an art gallery. At least and old one.


Tom Landry, another fedora disciple.


Mike T, the only cool looking coach today. Maybe it's the razor sharp hairline, or the Versace shades.


Common admittedly these guys look so much better than this dude.

Bill Belichick, genius, dry in interviews, and maybe a homeless man turned into a head coach.

On fire

I was at work while the Eagles were playing the Redskins on MNF, and I was bummed as hell, because I knew something crazy was going to happen.

Well Shit!

Something insane did happen, in the form of Michael Vick.

Vick dominated the Redskins, en route to a record breaking performance.

Glad to see he made the most with his second chance.

Congratulations Michael Vick you've earned it.



Highlights here.

This just in: Kobe Bryant is a baddd man!

As a LA Lakers fan, its time for me to say enough MJ nostalgic posts.

Kobe may not ever be as good as MJ, or maybe he will, or maybe he is, but Kobe Bryant is a true master of his craft.

Nobody has worked harder, to be better, than Kobe Bryant is at basketball.

He has every weapon in his arsenal, and there isn't anything he's not great at.

Whether you like him or you don't, you can't deny there aren't many people who are as good at one thing as Kobe Bryant is at basketball.

Sport can be art, and when somebody makes putting a ball in a net looks so pretty it should be recognized.

Let's go to Madrid

For the good scenery.






And how cool is this little fellow?



Ohh, and how can I mention Madrid without mentioning the majestic Real Madrid soccer team, and the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo.

Obsession

And this is a weird one I know.

Lately, I've been obsessed with club sandwiches.

I have no idea where this craving came from, although if I had to guess it may have come from watching repeated Mad Men episodes that featured diners and club sandwiches. Anyway, that's all I could come up with.

What's really weird, is that it had been like years since I last ordered one, until this past Sunday.

I must say the the taste of the turkey, and the inherent smoky salty flavor of the bacon, are quite the pair.

It's good washed down with water, with Coca-Cola, hell it's even good with a cup of crappy diner coffee.

Here's to the club sandwich!

Iconic

To be quite honest, and it may seem the contrary on this blog, but I really don't like Michael Jordan that much.

My favorite player is Kobe Bryant, and my favorite team is the Lakers.

But there's no denying how iconic some of Jordan's moments are, and goddamn those shoes were/are sooo cool!

Like this pic. Check out the gold chains, the sneakers, the dunk, it's got style popping off the page.

Tim Lincecum and the Giants...Fuck YEAH!!!!

The City=World Series champs!!!!!

Giants FTW!
