'no dude(shivering in fear), his friend chimes in, no man he wasnt..i was like, 'i'll let it slide cause you think you can impress these two chicks youre with, but if youre gonna talk shit, be punk enough to own up to it cheese dick...' why is it so hard to see asians these days..you people*whites* act like youve never seen asians before...what if devon and i dressed in tommy hilfiger and had bowl cuts like most asians..would you still stare and gawk..

so last night was rob and devons bday...it was cool, i passed on melt banana for fear of lacking money for the nights festivities and extra curricular sports activities...anywho..the first 5 mins at hyde park cafe almost was our last as i instigated a fight with some cheese dicks in ties sitting with their chicks...so this black guy just stares, then whispers something, then his dudes stare, then their girlfriends stare..its all cool and shit, but dont make it fucking so obvious taht you are..i stare too, but incognito...he had some balls to do that shit right in front of us...so i just wanted to let him know hes an idiot and hes not a bad ass...so i said,' youve got a staring problem man?' he goes, 'no.'...then rob goes 'tai whats the deal dude,' i say,real loud so the dudes hear,'well, these cheese dicks over here are just staring obnoxiously and i asked them if they had a problem.'...so that made this guy stand up like he was gonna do shit...then his girlfriend said dont..of course hes gonna pretend like hes gonna do something...thats the ultimate chicken shit move...you want to seem like a tough guy, but you know your girlfriend will bail you out by telling you to back down, you fucking stupid little hyde park boy....so yeah, we get mad free drinks, jade was working the door, so she gave us more tix...some free pizza and shit, its like chucke cheese, but with strippers...anway, we ended up at orpheum, well, half of us, the other half went to fly trap...ran into maggie, she was on me like white on ..rice? nice analogy i know...ended up at robs at 4, stayed up with maggie at her place til about 8, then up at noon for work...no we arent back together..anway, saw 'h', out, she looked way rad, didnt really have a chance to talk to her, she wasnt with her kid, but ..anyway, this saturday is dickdale, diesel party and dj heather at malios with brian busto, and tony hawks boom,boom skate brigade. no more negative energy will be wasted here at all..sorry for the bitchin about ex's and other shit. so if i get tony hawk tix, i will have two dick dales to give away, shoot me an email.

friday dev and i met will down at mastrys. damian marley was playing..i checked him the last time with maggie. sounded the same. behind mastrys is jannus' courtyard ..in the alley is a huge dumpster you can climb on to see the show..but security rushes out and tells you to get off. i was like 'you fucking own the alley?' they were like, 'no we own the dumpster.'..i was like od dude..so will and i climbed on to this 2nd level of mastrys, above garden, lobby, there are apartments..we checked the whole show from there...one guy on stage had the job of waiving the jamaican flag, for 2 hours, this nigga(the cool term, not the 'n' word) was wavin that shit..what a choice gig...afterwards we checked out the garden. lobby was pickin up..only went there to see the bartender, that i hung out with at the castle last week...shes where its at.

dec 7th 2002
went fliering with brad last night in ybor for robs benefit. hit the castle, fly, orpheum and new world...its tough trying to pull in people to this thing all on your own. and none of your friends has asked to help...its like on me if the turnout sucks , but anyone coming out is great, dont get me wrong. its just finals week, and im trying to devote time to rob and school also.....i dont think i have enough shit to raffle off and im' gonna have to buy nifty shit on my own to raffle to donate.but i think the turnout is gonna be rad..hopefully pull 2gs for him...was contemplating auctioning of my scooter on ebay for rob but, as much as i love rob(in that friend way) i cant afford to do that. year scripts to thrasher, maxim and playboy have been thrown into the mix.gonna stop by diesel to see if angela can donate a gift certificate to diesel. actually i'm gonna get a packet together and mail like 20 establishments music//restaurants//clothing and see if they can donate..be alot easier than going to the stores.
self esteem booster for the day:
'tired of going along just to go along? yeah you. ever just get beat and say, i'm changing things around. what im' doing really isnt anything at all and if i dont do something about it now i'm gonna be in the same place 5 years from now. but wait, its been 5 years since you thought this already.'
i want to take the time to congratulate my brother, as well as yours, Devon Truong. He was on that path,and a 10 year college plan, but he graduated, came back from Gainesvegas a new man. No beat girlfriend holding him down now and doing what he wanted and gettin paid crazy amounts of money to do it. hopefully i can follow suit. I think the venerable lord buddha came to me in a vision in my nap after work. even though the mid 20's are amongst some of us, im still seeing that oh' you dont dig this person, so i cant be friends with you like i used to be thing'..its beat really, and i have no time for the nonsense. its like we're chicks in the 5th grade sometimes..i know i'm a cool kid, thats all that matters, my mom loves me! oh, i'm asian and quite the fucking badass too. well, will godfrey thinks i am.jk i'm working on a motivational line for hallmark.
if you can donate some flow to me $5-10 for the benefit, let me know..most of you are broke as well as i, but if you dont drink for two nights and donate themoney instead that'll work aye?. Yeah i'd rather have you donate to the raffle than pay the entry fee on thursday, or both. castle,orpheum have funds set up already which is choice. raddest email today from a complete stranger.

so my last test was today..fucking awesome..i went to lunch with jillian..the fucking styliest, niftiest, yet oddest girl to fucking date..shes got crazy nice hips though..and sports low riders more than spanish guys.
so i go out to flier for rob..all intents on buying beer..but got 3 for free...one from this girl, i'm like thanks.talked for two secs...then two from this lesbian..shes about 45..i've seen her hanging out with ex-allison and carpet mary...shes like,'you are with alot of girls.'..i'm like thanks for noticing ..not reallly but..somethin to the effect..she was wasted....then she goes..'all your girls, i know them.', i was like i think you just know one, allison...she was like, 'NO, all of them..' then she continues on, 'you go out with this swagger and i'm too cool attitude.'..i was like, i come to hangout, drink some beers, maybe hold a conversation with someone new and talk to friends.....' youre pretty stylie she says.'..i think she wanted to form a partnership..i bring home girls, she straps on a dildo and fucks them...i'll give her the fatties and stinkers..fair trade...i'm totally kidding about this..although we did have a convo about me, and girls, and my 'attitude.'...i would never hangout with fat girls. so crash mitchell was added to the line up with out my knowledge...i felt like an ass..he was like we're playing that night too..i'm like where..he goes for the benefit...i'm like..ok..theyre ok, but 3 bands are enough...but the more the better i guess..they do have their own following.
dec 10
picked up simon went down to grand finale..that place is kinda chill, mellow, less cheesedicks...saw chris' ex-maggie there...looking choice as usual, but i cant really dig her for what she did to chris..it was marcella's b-day, bought her a beer..shes so cute and amazing..george and her are fucking rad, the nicest couple this side of the gandy...there were some kids doing rails of blow and shit in the bathroom..do i miss it, fuck no..theres really nothing worth staying up for..no fucking cool shit happening after 3am anymore..and most of the people i know, i'm kinda beat on after 3 am anyway, just want to go home..you just feel disgusting sleeping at 9am and waking up at 5 and half the day is gone..cocaine is the white devil, not white people..well, them too. gina from the burg is donating some massages and a haircut to the cause which is choice..i sent out letters to businesses today.hopefully will get responses before thurs night..

Weekly Planet writeup:
A Benefit For Rob McArdle Feat. Helium Bomb/The Boats/Coma Girl/We Have Agents (12/12/2002) Yeah, yeah, I know I rave about these excellent, category-confounding local bands all the time, but this one's important. Scene staple Rob McArdle (he's worked at 911, Empire and Masquerade, and now holds down the bar at Charlie Doan's place, Fuma Bella) just got out of the hospital a little while back, and needs your help to cover some of the exorbitant medical costs (what seemed like a cough was discovered to be congestive heart failure). Come and check out what I truly believe is some of the best, most creative tuneage the Bay has to offer, and donate a bit of green. There will also be a prize drawing, with killer stuff donated by The Skatepark of Tampa (represent!) and others. Do the right thing.
rob has been making some guest appearances on survivor. Jan on survivor is rob in drag.

the two towers was checked out today with will, dev..its a choice film...afterwards checked a party out with will....it was weird..it was some don pablo christmas party with two kegs...at 130 am, the first keg was yet to be cashed..i mean, thats a crazy night waiting to happen..this crazy hot girl was quoted saying, 'whoa, i'm wasted.' will and i turned to each other simultaneously and had the 'muhahahhaha look ' that old men have when they see young girls...ahhahaha...yeah it was weird..katie and justin were there..but thats it...some dorks i didnt know talking about 'who wants to throw down with a blue cheese eating contest with me? i will throw down!' he proclaimed.
dec 23
claudia and went downto the castle..it was a super good night..lots of kids and claudia had never been on the monday before...unfortunately swankcowboy #2's ex-girlfriend was there and drunk and obnoxious with her friend stevie nicks. she pushed me and i let it slide but claudia was gonna unleash hell on my command..so this big quido cheeese dick threatened a swankcowboy #2 with his demise..' i'll bust a cap in your ass, and in his ass too(referring to me)...i contemplated taking my own life at the thought of a cap being inserted into my ass hole.....with his gold teeth glistening in the blue moon light and tight shirt clinging to his muscles the cheese dick again threatened violence...my response, 'you and her arent worth a thought.'...i cant believe i thought this girl was so cool 7 years ago and today shes affiliated with such trash....personally, i'm glad you arent with him..you are a nobody and going nowhere fast...believe me, if something were to happen to swankcowboy #2 or I, the asian community would seek revenge..gettin all bruce lee retribution on you kids..sorry..i dont like drama, yet its always around , and in this case it has nothing to do with me..but when people threaten someone over something they arent even involved in..its stupid....just imagine a muscle guy at the gym with a hat on backwards, black tee, thick gold necklace and gold fillings saying, 'i'll bust a cap in both yo asses dawg.'this is the last word..i know swankcowboy numero deux is over this i am too...asian represent. cant even go out and get wasted in peace anymore..jeesh

tip of the day: when in a urinal do not try to aim or dissolve the blue bar in the whole because it will splash back and youre gonna have your piss, and others who have pissed before you on your pants.

checked out this weak ass art show called nude night on friday..saw the senator from castle fame full nude...yikes...gives me the fuckin chills...sat checked out fly trap..not bad, doing some renovating.. last night Checked out the castle last night for a bit to take a break from reading..I have to say that the style factor here in Tampa is nonexistent. No hot alternative girls remain in tampa? You girls are either overfuckin weight or just butt ugly. But hey, you look alternative so thats cool right? NO. Just be ugly, the fact that youre trying to be alternative or goth just adds to the gross factor.

worked fucking 9 hours today..sucked..do i really want to be a pharmacist..? Grand Finales last night tonight..Claudia and i took the scooter down there about 11 and met ryke..crazy amounts of people..couldnt get a beer, so ryke got a 12 pack and came back...very nice amount of pretty girls there..but hey, i have a girlfriend..so i dont care..i was stoked for ryke....this one girl, just came up to claudia and i and said,' i 'm not hitting on your bfriend, but i just had to meet him..etc'...i was like woahh, 'this is my girlfriend claudia....'i think i was more upset than claudia...thats all cool if you look and stare but you dont come up to me....claudia looked great..shes got this rock'n ass that i cant stop pinching..its like an obsession..in the store, with the fam..everywhere...i need help...afterwards ran into rhiannon at some house party down on the southside..its some kid derricks....these kids are like duckey from pretty in pink....not even cool retro..its like the gay 80's...wheres molly ringwald when you need her?
Happy Easter!
April 20th
claudia and i had it rough the night before..it was another white devil infested time...11 rolled around and we had to make shit for her family's easter shindig..she bought me this sweet monochromatic shirt and tie...we looked way good, she also was in an amazing forest green floral printed dress...the 4 hour wasnt as bad as i had thought...the only bad thing was us falling asleep practically from the night before...she is by far the best gfriend i've ever had..i'm not just saying that either...
may 30
checked out studio 1935 art studio in stpete..nice new place to support local art...vitales were out in force along with stpete locals..our foursome decided to buy $15 worth of shit each and checked out rain since their opening. it was dead but we were fucked up..came back and drank claudias liquor supply...woke up and got her a new haircut at jimmie bobs salon.studio 510..the thing about doing that shit is you fucking sleep the next day
june 6th
claude,ryke and i checked out dirtfest st pete..oh i mean, 'first friday' that stpete throws the first of every month..i thought it would be special since its stpetes 100th birthday..but it sucked ..we went out at 8pm and claudia faded at 11..took her home and came back to garden/perch...kinda sucks that i just cant hangout in stpete without the white lady..i mean..drinking gets beat after awhile..maybe i should drink so much and drink once a week instead so i dont get so burnt out...caught a black vs. white fist fight...it was weak..we followed these two guys for about a block..till the cops got them....2am rolls around and this vagrant tells us of this house deep in the southside that sells liquor and alcohol...its not a business either...just a house..seemed sketchy..the catch was..we had to give this guy a ride...the anticipation of the white lady coming makes you want to do stupid shit to get alcohol...
'dont run whitey.'...this guy kept on walking away...and was getting nailed from behind..I dont break up fights...unless its a dude beating up a girl, or one of my friends....breaking a fight up between strangers is nuts...we were yelling, 'turn around!'...he got clocked hard a few times...if we were drunk enough.i'm sure we would have began singing the childrens nursery rhyme, 'fight , fight, a black and a white, if the.....' i am just intrigued at human behavior and i apologize in advance for these pictures.
july 2nd,03
shit i've been slacking..white stripes were crazy good...show was way short though..$40 back please. got crazy wasted with ryke=rykesanity. went to the castle for the first time in awhile on monday...to describe the experience these days....'its like going to a strip club on their bad night and seeing all their scab dancers and rejects.' and watching the entry to the castle is waiting to win the lottery...(if i were single)...music is still good and double fisting newcastle is the way to go. this thursday at the garden dj boomerang(mike) returns.
i had my phone run over by a car...if you are a verizon rep or work for verizon and can steal me a phone..you will be nicely reimbursed...also all 200 or so names are gone...so if you've ever called me, call again and leave a voice mail with your number..hot water music tonight......

july 13th
checked out marks house in downtown spte..kinda pseudo art show, party..2 kegs...it was good..same people but hey, you need to get used to seeing the same people around...
back to the ex thing..i'm over it..claudia and i are so much better than that..even though her bfriend says i misunderstood cause he overheard the whole thing..how could you over hear from across the room when youre spinning records...they were in a booth with two other chicks and i was at the bar..you were no where around there..but hey thats cool...you know your girlfriend right..a bundle of conversation she is all the time, would never talk shit about anyone.....and i dont hide behind this shit..i'm on the pc doing shit..so hey, i take 2 mins out of my day to vent..i dont tell anyones girlfriends to read this shit..i dont mention names...i dont need to waste my time confronting nobodys ....i'll leave the drama for someone elses mama...
thanks to simone for reminding me that i am tai truong.
july 22nd
checked out les nubians last week with dev, elle, and claudia.. little lauryn hill, little pharcyde, little tribe. Not to mention they are crazy beautiful black women those Nubians were. i got like 100 or so pics that will be up. only negative from the show. besides the weak crowd(stupid fucks!) jk ..was the girl from covivant that said, 'dont you think youve taken enough pics..?' i was gonna freak out on her but, just turned..i cursed her later in a drunken stooper.
copeland wasnt half bad either. besides the fact that everyone was under 16 and claudia and i were the only ones drinking.warped tour is this friday. Havent decided if its worth the check.
