Big Al wasn't much of a good luck charm as the San Jose Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars 5-2.  What's worse is that 4 of the Star's goals were scored in the last period.  Loren took me out to the game.  We had some drinks before and after at the Hotel De Anza.  If anybody is in the Hotel De Anza area, you have to check out one of the waitress:  MasaQ.  It's work safe.  Hot!

So E-money invited Big Al, VJ and his fiance to the Giant's game this weekend. Great performance by the Gyros and Jonathan "Dirty" Sanchez. 3-1 win. So as it stands, I'm 1-0 this year. World Series here we come!

The Funday Friday started out with the booze train from Mountain View to SF. We did jaegerbombs with Matty and Lo. It ended with a SCU reunion (of sort) with fellow Broncos: Chris (not a Bronco), Lily (c/o 02) and Martin (c/o 02). Hope to run into these guys again. Go Giants! Go Broncos! Go Sharks!

Lately I've been on this t-shirt binge, and I have somewhat made it my official 2008 hobby. In doing so, I've wrapped myself up in understanding the whole business from hobbyists on the web to design to manufacturing and now blogging. Starting next week, I'm going to lend my blogging services to Threadless' number 1 independent blog: www.lovesthreadless.com. Threadless is a Chicago-based company that has been around for several years. It's run by a few 20-something kids that rode with an idea and made it a multi-million dollar a year industry. I've spoken with a few of their guys there and it's a great story that was based on passion for the idea and a lot of luck. So come on by and leave some comments (good ones please, but if you have to leave bad ones, make sure they're controversial). Thanks!

It was cool when I was traveling, so you can see my pictures in real time, but now I'm not.  You may want to stop visiting the BigAlsHouse.com now.  I see you checking in every few days.  I may be turning up the intensity in the next few weeks.  (Hint:  I don't have a girlfriend anymore.)  I'll work on creating the PG rated version for you.

With yesterday's big win for the San Jose Sharks, Big Al is officially on the Shark's bandwagon.  I'm off to Game 2 on Sunday to attend my first ever Shark's playoff game with my SCU pal Loren.  Go Sharkies!

I'm not into Earth Day celebrations. Unfortunately, I did not take public transportation, but I really wanted to make myself carbon neutral. Carbon neutral seems to be the thing to do nowadays. In my task of staying carbon neutral I bought my lunch on a plate and not plastic or paper. I also reused my plastic cup to drink water instead of grabbing a Kirkland bottle that would be thrown away. I also decided not to use the treadmill. I ran on the street.

Happy Earth Day. Happy belated 4-20!

I mostly did a high school weekend during this past one.  VJ, E-money and Joe Jeezy hung out with Big Al on Friday night with special guest star Jackay.  Jackay was a fellow SP-SVer.  I coincidentally ran into her with Lt. CVill about a month ago.  Jackay was tending to her followers at Taste, San Jose.  We were fortunate to be in her presence on Friday.  She treated us to many drinks.  Unfortunately, Jackay is camera shy so I don't have any pictures of her.  I'll get a copy of her senior year yearbook picture.  For those with good imaginations, think of a short chinese chick with C-cups.  Yeah baby!

Big Al has a busy weekend. If anybody is interested is joining the Big Al entourage this weekend, give me a shout.

Friday: Hanging out with the old school at Taste, San Jose. Jackie has asked all to come on down to hang out with here there.

Saturday: Hopkins fight on HBO then maybe UFC in at City Beach Fremont with Stef and then celebrating National Frog month at the VJ Mansion San Francisco.

Sunday: Chill out, but get some dudes from Home Depot to help me move stuff and maybe paint a wall.

Come follow the Big Al Nation this weekend.

Almost 4 years later and Big Al has posted his 300th post.  In celebration of the year-long 30th birthday, Big Al has decided to throw a 29 and 1/2 birthday party.  The following information is still tentative pending permission from my Mom and Dad, San Jose PD, the Easter Bunny, etc.

Okay...  I'm off the bandwagon now.  =)

If anybody is going to the Warrior's game tonight vs. Denver, let me know.  I'll be there.  I'll be the one in the yellow shirt.
