Heat Wave vs. Heat Stroke

It is way too hot to live on the 3rd floor of a silly old apartment complex in East Los Angeles, but it’s better than living on the east coast the south or the OC. At least the short shorts come out, shirts get smaller and the paleta man is on heavy rotation, we get the epitome of summer here in Southern California between the 80 degree Dodger night games and the bonfires at Docweiler State Beach, drop top cruises at midnight with a t-shirt and shorts and all you have to do to believe me is hit Malibu on a Saturday in summertime and see what it’s all about. Today it was 86 at 10 am, and that is some serious heat, I’ll be hitting up my mom’s swimming hole for real. I love summer and everything it stands for except this damn heat, I simply can’t hang with it. If I was sweating my ass of in car going around willow springs or something I think I could deal, but breaking a sweat by walking from the car into the office is shitty. I was at a job site of ours in South Central Los Angeles, on 60th and Hoover go peep our school, and I was watching the local ironworkers in full welding leathers lose weight while setting up the cross members of this new amazing structure, I couldn’t help but feel bad for them. I’m torn between the perks of summertime and the perils of this dry heat, but one thing is for sure, I love this city we have here.

Mark Webber vs The Milky Way Galaxy

bruised toes, bruised knees, blistered hands and a huge smile is was a track weekend will do to your body, weak in the knees after putting one wheel in the gravel and managing to pull it without hitting that ridiculous ACR Viper or the even more intimidating wall. there is a price to pay to have a good time, and i apologize to all the good times i ruined this weekend, and more so for any disrespect that may have be a result of my actions, i love you homie....but back to the track stuff, so Mark Webber was told on Friday by red bull racing he is their number 2 driver behind the young phenom Sebastian Vettel, and thus Seb was missing a part of his car and they took it from Mark and let him run it...Mark goes on to win the British Gran Prix the has a transmission with his team a log the lines of this Mark: "not bad for a number 2 driver huh?"...Team Principal: "yeah maybe we can get a smile out of you now" I mean shit even if i was running like the Virgins or SRT I'd have a retarded smile on 24/7 but i guess it goes to show some people only want that number 1 spot. Kamui has been steadily improving his skills finishing in points for Sauber 2 races in a row. There was an ALMS race this weekend too, Highcroft got the LMP win, and Rizi got the GT win which put them about 3 points ahead of my boys at Flying Lizard Motorsports, but there are still plenty of races this season. Formula D went to Tanner Foust of Speed Channel fame, my boys Ken Gushi and Chris Forsberg went out in the "great 8" and Ryan "hampshaa" Tuerck went to the finals but was defeated by Tanner....tough weekend i know. so if going fast is your thing talk to me, i'll be at the Vegas, Infinion and Irwindale events. to the winners of the weekend more power to you, and to the rest of us, get some new tires, new wipers, new methods of overtaking and of course more food. being number 2 doesnt make you a loser, just ask Mark Webber.
