#2 Shenanigans

So a couple of days ago, some friends and I went to go suit up homeless people.  He was giving away suits one day via "Twitter" and my cousin needed one because he was job hunting for the past month or so.  We went to his house and none of the suits fit my cousin (he's 5'5 and the suits were fit for like a 6 footer).  I jokingly said "YOOO, let's go suit up some homeless" and he responded "YOU AIN'T DOWN FOO"!  Undoubtedly, we packed up all the suits in my trunk and headed towards what we call "ghetto" (Downtown, Phoenix).  We found our first culprit at first sight, entering the neighborhood.  As he was munching away on some chips, I approached him asking him "Would you like some clothing man?" and immediately he followed up with a "Anything helps..."  He tailed us to my car and we got him a fitted "DKNY" blazer jacket and $10.  He left dancing and what not and through out the rest of the night we couldn't find any other homeless people that was actually "walking the streets".  So we decided to grab some food.  We ended up having some authentic Sonoran hotdogs near 19th ave and Northern.  If you haven't had a Sonoran hotdog, you're MISSING OUT on life...

The next day, a couple of other friends, Lily and me went to "Tempe Town Lake".  We walk around the entire park/lake and were just taking pictures and messing around.  Tempe's lake bridge is beautiful at night and the blue arcs really stand out when driving near Mill ave.  Some back story on the bridge: built August 8th, 1997, the lake holds 977 million gallons of water and the "Pedestrian Bridge" was recently built in 2011.  We also walked around Downtown, Tempe and it was really something, on a Friday night.  People roaming the streets, drunk ASU students yelling and pan-handlers begging for money.  There is this one candy store near there that sells really old and discontinued candy but well overpriced.  If you're interested for the candy store it's called "Candy Addict" and is located at 414 S Mill Ave #119 Tempe, AZ 85281.  Other than roaming around the city, we headed back to good ole' Denny's and called it a night.

#1. Weekend Recap

01/30/16 - 01/31/16
This past weekend was something I want to do more every so often, but haven't really had the chance to.  Lily and I went to the theatre to see "The Boy" and "Dirty Grandpa".  "The Boy" was a great movie overall, with a couple of pop-ups here and there; however, near the end was a HUGE plot twist and one I never expected (a real brain basher if you will).  "Dirty Grandpa" was essentially a film, in my opinion, that was aimed towards more of a teenager audience.  Don't get me wrong, it was a funny movie, but not the majority of people's today humor.  I was really trying to put to use my $25 "Harkin's Loyalty" shirt that promises a medium bag of popcorn every visit.  Afterwards, we decided to give Raising Cane's visit, home of the delicious, well battered chicken fingers.  Raising Cane's is great because the food is amazing and it's open considerably late.

The next morning, we busted a mission down to Scottsdale Fashion Square.  If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and take a day to explore the mall, even though I highly doubt you'd make it through the whole mall.  This mall consist of over 250+ stores and restaurants.  We visited the Microsoft store, one of two in Arizona (the other being in Chandler) and it's set up like how an Apple store is set, with multiple gadgets being scattered all over.  Upon visiting Microsoft, we browsed around a few other stores and came across Tesla.  Tesla is a American company that specialized in luxurious electric cars.  I got the chance to sit in a P90D model and it was honestly a dream come true...  The car's vibrant colors and it's beautiful interior made me drool.

Visiting this mall, I had no idea there was a "Pepper Palace".  "Pepper Palace" is a place where they sell top of the line hot sauce and pepper.  I got the chance to try 2 of the top 5 hottest sauces simultaneously and word of advice, DO NOT DRINK SODA.  I felt as if I was breathing fire, the soda did not help it as it made me burp and with each burp came a tear and a mouth full of regrets.
