trade-offs

constant exchanges getting the week in gear for me. started off with a meeting with some tuning heads in downtown. they have a serious knack for the japanese culture & making money. it was funny talking shop with these dudes. gt-r this & that and chassis codes (r35 esp) run their vernacular. we ended up keeping each other hooked for hours. the whole morning surprisingly.

they're building this 09 gt-r for toyo right now.

they're the "work hard, play hard" types. as in, work hard and we'll take you to japan every year and eventually you'll head operations type shit. as in, very little creativity, but a nice check every month if i could hang with the numbers-side of biz for a couple years. a la katakana, no less...

could i hang?

i'll leave that one to destiny.

then it was on to the more creative mid-wilshire goodness with the male counterpart. successful networking & lunch in exchange for some sticky sativa. and a check.

and another article in this month's vapors.

and then some waves for clarity. swimming for peace of mind. always.

doucement for real, mais je me sens pretty good nonetheless. ahhh.

money morning.



i love that this exists in the middle of l.a.



mao's on pacific.

comme d'hab.

afternoon in h+i & this (the simplest pleasures).
