Flew back home to the Bay Area this weekend to see friends & fam and DJ the Warriors game. Shout out to everyone I saw and broke bread with!

So tubular bro! Shout out Solomon! Caught on the big screen at the Warriors vs. Mavs game by the homie Mr. Fongstarr

The bird's eye view

Ate at all my favorite spots, but Minato in Japan town still takes the crown for Bento boxes!

Flew in some sneakers for the Frisco homie @PFUNKTHEKING - crack deal caught via @Enochalot's Instagram. Thanks for the copy of "Paid Time Off"! Make sure to pick up a copy here.

I can identify because I'm about to be on that PTO in two weeks. NYC has been pushed back until summer, but I'll definitely be making my rounds up in LA and the Bay.

Checked SmoovGroovs & R.Cade perform their Space Cakes EP live along side Teeko & talked the PPF w/ my homie Ashlight.

Short & sweet.

See you again in a couple weeks!

And don't forget, this Thursday, "The Match Up" goes down with Julz (Mindzalike) vs. Felt1 (Armory Massive)

Ohmega Watts & DJ Raichous: The Match UP

"SALUTE!!! This has got to be one of my favorite Match Ups so far. The atmosphere was dope and the music was most certainly ON POINT.

The freshest part of night . . . when Ohmega and Raichous decided to do a 3×3 set. That pretty much means each DJ rotates playing 3 songs each. AND there’s a catch, strictly vinyl. I was telling Ohemga that if there wasn’t a MC on the mic, there would have been no way to tell who was on the tables. They straight vibed off each other all night. Also, they’re crates must have been 10 ft deep or something. HEAT ALL NIGHT.

So not only did they do their planned out 30 minute sets, they closed out the night doin’ it 3 songs each.

AND . . . we recorded their sets. So now all of you can get down to the sounds of the evening. But be patient as it downloads. There’s three files and one of em’ is the closing set for the night. So that pretty much amounts to about two hours of good music punching your face. Once again, hats off to these two and to all of you that came out."

Perhaps two of the illest children's books ever, swagged out covers.

My take on things: It's been a fun ride so far, met people from all walks of life, young and old, learned so many things about the human body, seen how messed up it can become, witnessed the wonders of medicine first hand, applied lotion to my hands a million times from so much hand washing, been asked my age a million times, received compliments and been called names, been influenced by doctors & other nurses, worked along side some dope co-workers, gone on Twitter at 3 AM to see everyone's club tweets on weekends, 12 hour shifts, going to work when the sun goes down, walking out the doors like the school bell rang with sun risen, driving the opposite directions of traffic, taking flight, hands that heal, rocking Jordan's with my scrubs, or my red patent leather AF1's, earned some nick names, like Doogie Howser, and Reggie, sleeping while everyone's working, working while everyone's sleeping, warming up lean cuisines in the break room at 2 AM, hearing stories from all kinds of people, working with coworkers, eating with coworkers, putting on dancing shoes with coworkers, putting on a record after I hop out the shower, flexibility, blessed to be able to travel, looking forward to traveling, questioning why the body reacts in certain ways, or why patients improve, or react the opposite, learning as much as I can, still so much to learn it won't stop, dealing with stress, multi-tasking like no other, reflecting on it all, waking up, strings of days off, seeing the homies, switching time zones, making plans to sleep in, doing it all over again, wishing success to all my homies, so one day we can all take trips, and eat dinner in foreign lands, take pictures, meet more people, share stories, experience the unexperienced, come back home, and blog about it.

O-kkk! (Wiz Voice)

My homie Jason Fong blessed me with a new logo to use to start off the New Year, and along the way he chronicled it's inception, from his sketches with pencil and paper...

Onto illustrator...

And with a little bit of fine tuning...

the finished product

Big up JF. Thank you for taking the time to do this fam. It was dope to see the creative process as well. I've been a fan of his photography and design since the early days of NT and I feel very lucky to have a 1 of 1 to call my own. The logo has the retro, 80's, BMX, overall super RAD look to it. I'm very sure I'll find use for it man, a gift will be arriving in your mailbox within the next month. (p.s. I need your address bro) Make sure to visit his blog over at www.fongstarr.com

And up next on my list of friends, we have the very talented, 5 hour energy runs in her blood, insightful, motivational, hood rat, classy, and all too comical Annie Lou.

I've known Annie since the beginning of my college days, and she's always kept it 100% Besides running her website/blog, she has been doing custom art for some time. About two years back, she approached me to do a painting. Of all the things I could choose, I chose a voting picture of my Lola from back in the day.

Fast forward to three years later... Annie invites me to her studio downtown for me to see the finished product. I gotta say, I like how you work Lou. Per Annie, a lot of her paintings remain unfinished until she feels like getting to to it, i.e. my painting that was conceived 3 years ago, but really painted in one day. LOL

And there we have it, a new family air loom, something my family would truly appreciate. My lola, the OG "godfather" of the family. I swear she handled "family biz" at parties and sat in the back room getting her finger kissed. Maybe I'll share more about her one day, one of the biggest influences in my life, and she raised me right.

Thank You Annie for blessing me with your 1 of 1, for unknowingly painting my own memories onto your own canvas. Visit www.annielouwho.com to browse or purchase her work

honestly...I was hella mean mugging, Annie was smurkin' like a school girl, in the end, salvaged picture.

Fly girl of the year, Dinosaur egg eating Lou (Too cool not to post on the blog, Annie)

Cooler than Annie? Ramen comes pretty close and it's awesome for my blood pressure. It's my new 2011 addiction, and the place around the corner is open till 3 AM.

Whole Foods Blossom Hill, the best thing to happen to SSJ since I left. Ran into the man who beat Bobby Flay in the Food Network's "Throwdown", the Bay Areas own DJ Mr. E

Shout out to the Papalote brothers. If you're ever in the Mission, make sure to stop by Papalote for some authentic SF Mission District Mexican grubs.

I might have the only two bottles in San Diego, so if you want a taste test, you know who to call.

My trip back home, I uncovered a shoe box, aka the high school box of memories, when digital cameras didn't exist and it was all about disposable cameras. Picture of my 1st DJ set up, my 1st gig, Dstrukt & Eternal aka Earritate. Neil Armstrong working at TTL NYC, Goldenchyld, the 1st time I touched turntables with a class by Wish One, and what really got me (right in the center) an old picture with Roc Raida R.I.P. PRICELESS

PTO approved. Travel suggestions anyone?

If you missed this one, check out the recap at www.still1.com

But overall it was a fun night. Kd & Question both murdered it. We had some technicalities with recording, however...

I present a gift to you. Recording of my opening set for the night, aka the 10PM slot. This mix is pretty much all over the place, but that's the best thing about opening. When you see a breezy at the bar, hit em' with the Mike Jack! It's never too early!

When I could only carry one crate, he'd carry two...on one arm. And now he's one of my favorite DJ's (Catch him on B95 Central Cali). He's definitely the life of the party. Today, he'd still probably start beat boxing and banging on a table at Burger King, to The Clipse - Grinding.

Jetted to San Jo-Say for a quick 72 hour stay in the Bay

Above the clouds, had to get the mood right

Brain storming, thinking about what 2011's going to bring. I know I'm past overdue on a mix tape, other music projects. Bare with me, it's coming! Life's finally settling down just enough.

Back on the ground, got to celebrate with my fam for the big boss' bday. Happy Birthday pops!

Slept for a total of 2 hours in the past 48, but couldn't miss the homie's Jason & Joe's bday/white elephant. Photo via Jacklyn, courtesy of Ash. The homies right here! I miss my SJ fam like no other & since I'll be missing Christmas this year, this knocked me out of my funk.

I actually missed the white elephant (above) & by the time I came the two Henn bottles I left were EMPTY haha. I don't know if everyone was really that excited to see me more than they were just really drunk, lol. Either way, every one was on such a good one, including myself, eyyuup!

After waiting over a year, finally got to meet my niece. SHE's TOO COOL! fitted in her "it's nice to be nice t-shirt". **Actually found out on Thanksgiving my cousin Perry is having twins!** EXCELLENT. Too excited about the new 1/2 Indian & Filipino editions to the fam.

Hey what are you watching? "Ni-Hao!" So apparently she's big on Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan & watches it all day on her ipad?! She not even two and she operates that thing like a pro. Hey you got serato on there?

Celebrated Christmas on Sunday. Love my fam for setting everything up knowing I'd be missing Christmas for the 1st time. They had the tree set up with the old school Christmas story look. They're right when they say Christmas can be any day of the year. On the plus side at least, got all my shopping & gave all my presents out.

Couldn't leave without hitting up a W's game, thanks to my big bro for the tickets!

Super fun times with my bro and my cousins Justin & Katrina. UUUU-DOHHHH! The W's have to best & most diverse fan base in the NBA. I Love this arena! Can't wait to be a season ticket holder when I make the move. Big up to Slick D who was DJ'n the game. Not sure if I'll be able to fit one in this season, but we shall see.

Dropped off more gifts after the game & kicked it with the homie Ash watching videos from the party. 2 AM hopped in the ride and what does KMEL play? 6' 7', the beat my homie produced for Weezy! I'm not gonna lie, I was acting a fool in the car and turnt that all the way up. A very proud moment.

Got to eat with my moms before my flight back to southern cali, & got this in my fortune cookie. lol it's so particular, I hope it's true! 5' 5" is fine with me. I hope she likes the Warriors haha

This was "THE" best trip back home all year. Got to spend time with my fam, friends, and dogs, meet my neice, watch the W's. It was a good way to end the decade, let's just say. Super thankful to my family for setting everything up. I was sad thinking I was going to miss Christmas this year, but I experienced to best things in my life these past three days. I'm living life on the NBA format right now, playing my home games and having the luxury on going on these "road trips". Love ya'll, thanks for reading! Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa!

"Six Ingredients of a Good Life"

2010-12-16T09:37:00.000-08:00

Found these two articles posted by DJ Artistic when browsing through FB. I think you'll find it a good read, especially for us 9-5'ers or 7-7'ers who seek to find that perfect balance between our "regular" jobs and our passions for music and art.

Photo Source: Fatlace (2004)

Six years ago, I saved this photo on my HD. In it is a view of the entire city of SF from Marin County, including both the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate. It serves as one of my reminders that "there's always more out there". Not necessarily money, but better health, experiences, relationships, travels, food, and "moments" (corny as that sounds). I am sure that most of the people who have stopped by on my blog are friends of mine rather than strangers. In making sense of these "ingredients for a good life", I find reassurance in having such a diverse and motivated circle that continues to create & embrace on a daily basis. We are wealthy in every sense if we maintain this outlook. And to think, this is just the beginning for all of us. Love you all!

Cory Gunz.

This single happens to be be produced by Bangledesh AS WELL AS my homie @SpaceKidMartian (Mark Guinto) who I was informed found the sample and cut it up! Ever since these cats have moved out to ATL it's been nothing but GREAT things.With that being said, much love and respect to Brandon & Mark for doing what they do. This single is straight BEAST MODE.

"The story is nothing you haven’t heard. Blogs are pretty much old fashion diaries in the digital form since humans don’t write freehand no more. To this day, my blogging is like a therapy session on just things I like to keep a tally on in my life. I honestly don’t try to advertise it or promote it any more then what it is. I look at it like if you found my blog by accident and happened to enjoy the content, then that’s cool beans with me."

Gotta show some luv to the homie Fongstarr. Awhile back he took some photos of me at Oracle. Any time I get a little homesick, or just want to check out some dope flicks, this is one of my favorite blogs to hit up. Big up to Jason on the website and the ill camera skillz!

90's Love

2010-11-19T01:01:00.000-08:00

Here

“Here’s just a little mix I did of those bedroom bangers that ruled our world in a different time and place – the 90s – and something for the ladies and the sensitive thugs out there to relate to. Mixed live as always, this is all about some downtempo business from the greatest RnB artists of the decade. Simple." - Rob Pursey

A bit late on this mix tape, my boy Kay Rich was the first person to put me on Fashawn a couple years back, and let me know I was missing the Grizzly City 3 series. Nothing against Skee, but I say Kay Rich hosts the next mix tape. Anyways download this, and big up to both Rich & Fashawn for lacing me with a drop.

Finally made my way to the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art last week with the homegirl Nikka. Some of the artists featured were Banksy, Stephan Doitschinoff, Akay, and Shepard Fairey. The exhibit was a lot smaller than I expected, but it was still worth the trip, and it was free.

Besides the indoor exhibit, there is also a map to follow that shows where public murals were commissioned all around San Diego. It would be a dope way to explore all of San Diego's neighborhoods. I suggest you visit.

One of the few photos I took. It was a good conversation piece.
