Next mp3 player..

Been looking at options for my next mp3 player. The ones I have my eye on are:

Zune HD

Samsung YP-P3

I also like the iRiver E100, but I want more space because I like to upload dvds and the screen is smaller than the above two options. My first gen Zune is awesome and I have had it for 2 years now. No problems, no complaints, and it has never crashed on me. I just want something newer with a bigger screen, preferrably touchscreen and something thinner. I like the HD because it has so many amazing features and the screen rules. Plus it has the internet browser. But the P3 has Bluetooth headphone capability and you can make calls from it without even touching your phone. Also, Samsung devices are known for their great sound quality. Another that is really appealing to me is the Sony Walkman X-Series. But I am really leaning toward the HD or the P3. Thoughts or other suggestions? Open to anything (obviously I do not care for iPods, so save comments about them).

Other news, started my new job this week. In training at the moment but it is good. Got a positive feeling about it.

So I have been sick for the past three days. Sucks for sure. Hopefully I get better soon.

But in other news, I found a new wallpaper :

Also found some good videos of the SEEKER EG6. I have grown less fond of Hondas in the past year, but this one in particular really resonates with my beginning days in the obsession. Not to mention, in this particular video, Kazama-san is hilarious in the beginning.

 

That is it for now. Check out a couple links from my blog roll…Shinnosuke Fujisawa and PureGroove/GarageZero!

Adios!

0-400 clips slow motion:

My cohort sent me the link to this video earlier today. Very very awesome video. I love watching the awd cars tear it up, all four tires just clawing at the pavement. The white EVO (I believe it is a IV, correct me if wrong) and black R32 in the beginning are my favourites. The gunmetal R32 rules too, you can see the whole rear-end just slam down once he punches it.

Enjoy!

Erdinger schmeckts ganz gut!

So tonight I went to the local package store in search of a new beer to try. It is the first time I have done this in quite some time and it took me a good 20 minutes at least to select my pick, which is typical of me. I purchased a pint.6 of Erdinger Hefe-Weizen Dunkel and a pint.6 of Sapporo Reserve. Hefes are one of my favourites and I like dark brews so I knew when I saw it that it was a must. I believe it was priced at $2.29. Sapporo is, from what I have heard, pretty similar to American style lagers but I still want to give it a try.

Tonight I am drinking the hefe and so far I really like it a lot. It has a typical hefe taste but with the heaviness characteristic of dark beers. The initial taste when you have a swig of it is somewhat stereotypical of the hefes I have had. When it is swallowed after you let it sit for a moment, it is smooth and the aftertaste is nice. Definitely one of my favourites selections I have made in a long time. The a.b.v. is 9% and it is pretty obvious after you have about half of the bottle’s amount. The color is that of really dark coffee. Not type of dark that Guinness is known for, but different because the depth the color has to it.

Welp time to chill with a homie and smoke a cigar. Maybe it will pair well with this hefe.

Froehliche fahren, guten abend!

Truth In 24

Last night I watched the best documentary that I have seen to date. “Truth In 24″. I love (and favour) Japanese auto culture/tuning/vehicles more than any other, but on the same token I also love racing. Well, mainly just open-wheel and road events. So with that, preference of manufacturers and the nationality of drivers and/or machines is cancelled out. Watching races and having been to a couple so far is awesome. Never did I actually know what really went into the preparation, the event itself, and the pain and hardships that goes into it until I watched this film. And there is no better team to document that than the most meticulous and dedicated of them all, especially coming from one of the most revered races on the whole planet. In particular, the 2008 24 Heures is the subject of documentation here – the battle between Audi’s older TDI machine and Peugot’s newer rivaling machine.  The film was extremely thorough, detailed, intense, and raw – everything that I treasure when it comes to motorsports. And to see that captured in such a presentation as this is simply amazing. To see the side that you do not get to see while watching the race in person behind the wall or on a television screen utterly changes your perspective. You get a true sense of the toll that the 24 Hours of Le Mans takes on every person that is involved in it. But you also get to see how awesomely rewarding it is. And since watching this film last night, my whole outlook on racing and the passion behind motorsports has transformed. If you are a nut about racing then I highly, highly suggest you find a way to watch this. Very well worth the hour and a half that I spent watching it. Hell, I may watch it again tonight.

Other than that, I accomplished a lot today. Took the necessary steps to ensure that I will be going back to school come January. Also did some other things on my to-do list. Finished the day off perfectly with smoking a great cigar (Perdomo Lot 23) while hanging with a couple of my good friends.

Also, make sure to check out Subaru’s GT300 Legacy. That is one mean machine!

That is it folks, Happy Motoring and good night!

Waching “Truth In 24″ tonight..pumped as hell about that!

Personal note: Also catching up with one of my cousins that lives in FL through messaging. Crazy how much in common we have and how close we feel even though I have only really met her once. Family is important!

Drinking some good coffee and smoking some American Spirits enjoying the weather outside. Very relaxing. Looks like I will be going back to school starting January too, so that is something that is exciting me. Also I have a really good job lined up too. Things just keep getting better. Well, I will write about this documentary tomorrow after I watch it tonight.

Happy Motoring!

PS: I hope to be at this meet next year, I missed it because I have been so out of the loop lately.

Damn, I watched the last 20 minutes of the race at Laguna Seca earlier and that was some of the most intense battling I have seen. Really wish I could have been there to see that race in person. The GT2 battle had me at the edge of my seat.

Also the Brazillian GP in Sao Paolo is this coming weekend. Practice sessions friday, practice/qualifying saturday, and race on sunday.

Yes, behold!

I cannot wait until this young man named Luke (who also runs Hashiriya Exports/Running Life) is able to release this documentary. The feel of the footage on each of the trailers has definitely left me wanting the final product for sure. He is doing a perfect job on it! Great video quality and the mood that the composition brings is really just awesome. Please check out this trailer as well as the other few that he has.

Happy motoring!

Had a pretty decent day..anxiety filled because of this job offer, but it evened out for sure.

Smoked an Oliva Connecticut Reserve 7″x50 this after noon..

It was a really nice, smooth stogie and the draw was just perfect for my liking. Definitely going to get another. I hope the roll quality is consistent with them like Padron. Then I smoked a Sancho Panza Double Maduro (not sure about the size for this one). They are alright, I will complain that the caps are pretty easy to mess up and the draw is not as easy as I prefer my smokes to be. I cannot really complain about the price though.

Other than that, it looks like things are going to be lookin up for me really soon. Really happy about that.

 

Evening to all.

Raising Hell

So this coming weekend is F1 Japan GP at Suzuka. I have not been able to keep up with the races lately, as the last one I saw as Valencia. But I love Suzuka Circuit so this weekend is a must. Things are starting to pick up for me, looks like I will be able to get back to school starting January so I am stoked about that. Not sure when I will be able to get another car but hopefully pretty soon.

Had a chill night tonight, went to the coffee shoppe and read while smoking a Padron 2000 Maduro. I like the 3000’s better but this one was nice though. Stopped smoking cigarettes but I will still enjoy a nice cigar every once in a while.

Welp I will leave you with a picture of the event that is taking place this weekend.
