Luda!

"At the Louis Vuitton store in Switzerland, you have to have a Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or a Mercedes to get valet parking. Well I went into the store to buy one of those dangly key chains. Four Hundred bucks. So I told them I was just looking and I saw a group of young fellows buying some luggage. Those go for $5,000 a piece!! My daughter turned to me and said, 'Dad, do you know who that is?' I said 'no' and she said, 'that's Ludacris' and I said, 'well you'd have to be ludicrous to pay that much for luggage!'"

-A direct quote from Mr. Hebron, my Earth Science Professor

I got this voice message last Saturday. I hope Herman doesn't find out I got this message instead of him. He might be pretty disappointed.

10K in South L.A.

August 31, 2008 was the Nike Human Race 10k. It was awesome. Let me explain the awesome -

The day started off with getting pumped with DragonForce on the car ride to LA

After super energizing ourselves with the rock, we saw the world's largest collection of porta-pottys



OMG there were soooo many peoplez!!



He might have difficulty seeing during the run, but major style points!



The bag check was really popular.



Unfortunately after the bag check, I no longer had my camera. So this is a visual approximation of what the run looked like



This is my run if it was a green digital line. I placed 812 out of 12,000 in LA and 20,313 out of the entire world. That means I'm the 20,313 fastest person in the WORLD!



Getting our stretch on after kicking major butt in the race. On a side note, Mitch is making love to the camera



All-star Ray got a time of around 45 minutes! He's faster than Matthew Mcconaughey!



This is the stage that Kanye would soon present himself on. Special guest Common also joined him



Ironically, this white blur is Kanye West.



I captured this sweet intro to the concert on video. Good thing I had my high quality auido and image stabilization ready to go

This is all of us enjoying that wicked intro



This guy knows what I'm talking about

After the concert, there was an all-American fireworks show and you can hear the crowd cheering for an encore!

I think someone died in the porta-pottys. They had to call in the big guns for crowd control.



Even though we were all really tired, you can't miss a photo opp




My delicious Denny's meal never tasted so good



Live your Dream!



And that's all folks!




P.S. Kanye West didn't come out for an encore.
