So im 11 days into this working out and eating less thing.
 so far i have lost about 20 pounds.  but that pace wont keep up.  But im trying my best to keep on my exercise. thats the biggest part of the success of any diet. 
 So as i said 11 days in now, Ive ridden my exercise bike at least 1:10.00 everyday, some days 1:30.00 . 11 days is the most days in a row ive been able to do since back in 08 when i did 15 straight.  but my goal is to make it a everyday part of my life. 
 thats the only way the pounds will keep coming off. 
 Although it looks like ive just put on a few pounds im heavier now then i have been in close to 10 years.  So its a very important goal for me.   Ive been watching what i eat pretty heavily as well. after i work out i have a grapefruit and a apple or banana, lunch ive been having a subway sandwich most days.  then dinner ill have a salad and the other half of my 5 dollar footlong.  lol
 as i said, so far its working.   lotta work and the last few days ive been busier as well as my legs havent wanted to ride.  but ive still found the time.   Thats the kind of commitment i need to maintain.   Diet is going to kind of be out the window on saturdays party. but will go back into effect after.  Im still going to try to ride ether early that morning or late that night. so not to end the streak.

 I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came to Reynas 1st B Day party.  the day went really well.   Reyna had a great time. and it seemed like everyone else had a good time as well.   I wanted to give special thanks to the people who helped me organize it all.  my mom my sister, Diana (helped buy the food and marinated all the meat as well as got the kids toys )  Cyndy (supplied the tables and chairs and some of the liquer),  Armando ( helped with the friday night shopping and bought allot of stuff for the party)  
 and to the guests who brought food with them,  Liz (spinach dip) was very tasty,  Jessie ,"female"(chips and salsa ) Jesse "male"  (lumpia), Ray (apple and pumpkin pie) although it never made it out it was delicios , Walter (vanilla ice cream)  Felix (few different ice creams)  Vince ( the EZ up canopy and 2 ice chests) mike & Jen ( potato Salad )

 all in all everyone showed me why they are my good friends and why i should be grateful and my daughter will be gratefull to have all these great people in her life for years to come. 

 Thank you everyone, 
 ill post up pics sometime in the next couple days

Yesterday on of my dogs, (Daisy) died. she was about 8 or 9 years old, she hadnt been sick or acting weird. i fed the dogs in the morning she was acting normal. i got a call mid day that she was dead, i came home as fast as i could. i tried doggy cpr for awhile but it was to late. maybe if i had been here when it happened, but it was to late. a few times in the last few years she had just passed out and fell over at random times. she would be down for a couple seconds then just wake up and be ok. it was always weird but only happened a couple times a year and she was always ok. the only thing that makes sence is that she must have been having seizures and maybe she choked on her tongue like people do. thats the only thing that makes sense. But regardless of why , she is gone now. she will be missed by all of us.. the way she wagged her whole body when she was excited and would sit atthe door licking the glass for hours at a time. her annoying little wo wo wo wo bark that she would do constantly for attention.

I originally found daisy in a aprking lot for the vons maket on sherman way and ettiwanda, she was all messed up. her face wwas bloody she was extremly skinny and covered in ticks,
but the way she just shoke her body when she barked and just her personality i had to take her home. she had been wandering the streets for awhile, she was like 30 pounds, she eventually got to almost 60 pounds, i took her home washed her up, spent about 5 hours pulling ticks off of her, i had a pair of needle nose pliers and a jar of bleach, i would gently pull the tick off her skin then drop it in the bleach, the ticks would still be alive for like a hour in the bleach it was so nasty, i hate ticks, through out her life she always had a skin problem i would take her to the vet regularly to get her treated, but its been pretty good for the last year or so. she instantly became a irreplaceable part of our family, i still cant believe she is gone



we lost a member of the family yesterday, and Daisy will be greatly missed forever

Ok, so Allot of people ask me about the baby pics and such, ive been meaning to write this blog since i found out about my daughter 5 months ago but being that i dont really like myspace to much anymore since everyone profile is blocked and you cant really meet anyone anymore it doesnt seem worth it to me. but what ever. this blog aint about that its about my Daughter.

Alright heres the Story of Reyna, so it started with me and a girl i dated briefly,
we dated about 2 weeks, she is the daughter of one of my former co workers, thats how we met , after 2 weeks we found out that we just didnt go well together
she went back to her ex who she already had 2 kids with i went my own way doing what i do.
we ended up having a big fight, my fault of course being that im a asshole when someone makes me mad as most people know, so we didnt talk again.
I had heard from her mom that she was pregnant, but she was also engaged to her others babies father and about to get married , According to my math there was a chance it could be mine, but i just figured since she was getting married she must know for sure its his and not mine, so i just went about my life. but i kept it in my head.
i went to the baby shower since im still friends with the mom, but that was the first time
i had seen the daughter since we had fought, i wanted to talk to her about if it could be my child but i figured that would have pissed her off so i left it alone,
I visited just after she was born, to me she didnt look like the other 2 girls. but it still wasnt really my place to say anything. so i let it go. a few months later i get a message on myspace from her. asking me a few questions, then she told me she thinks she may be mine, she had sent for a DNA test to see if she was the husbands baby, it was coming back in a couple days. so a couple days passed and she let me know it came back and the baby is not his. so thats when it really hits you,

I have a baby now!!

so from that moment on things began to change, i had to be a father now,
Being a father isnt about providing money , or food or shelter, being a father is raising a child. alot of guys forget that they think that bringing home the bread is being a father, its not. being a father is raising your kids. being in there life, taking care of them, reading to them, playing with them. and thats a big problem in our society is to many kids growing up with out fathers. well my child isnt going to be one of those kids. she will have the best father i can be . but anyways back to the story, I had my own test done just to be 100 percent sure that shes mine, everyone was all over me to get it done, i was sure she was anyways but i got it done just to be 100 percent sure,
me and her mom fought a little bit, we have very different personalities, shes Filipino raised catholic. im white raised agnostic and
Im completely self sufficient and have been for years, so i dont let anyone tell me what to do in regards to anything, so we clashed for abit, but after like 2 months we smothed everything out and for the last 3 months things have been going fine.
My Daughter Reyna is now 8 months old. she is the most beautiful baby in the world.
If you dont agree keep it to yourself cause ill kick your ass, lol

anyways thats the story, i have Reyna on the weekends so i dont really ever go riding or go out anymore, i could still go and just have my mom and sister watch her, but thats not really being a father, thats just having a child, i want to be a good father so if that means i have to give up a few things then so be it. my daughter is going to grow up a strong and smart woman, i want to give her all the opportunities i wasnt given as a child.

Im still very much single and plan to be untill i decide ive found the girl i want to be with for a long period of time. she will have to love me and my daughter and be ok with the drama that comes along with having a boyfriend who has a child with another woman.

so theres the story.

I had a Prety bad crash on the track at Willow Springs.  
In some ways i would say its my worst crash of all of them,  not cuase of the speed or the injury as far as bloodiness goes, but my first crash in full leathers. 
 Resulted in a bad concussion,  A extremly swolen left arm, hand and shoulder,
 My right wrist some how damaged to a point where i have no strenght at all in my right hand,   its not broken but some nerve damage to the carpel tunel area, 
 I have to wear a splint and i cant realy use it at all. 
 And prety much everything is sore, my neck my legs all of that good stuf.
So overall i would say this is my worst injury of all my crashes,   In my very first crash i tore my knee open prety good but i wasnt wearing proper gear, if i was i would have walked away from it,   this time i was wearing proper gear i walked away but dont remember the walk.  
 The most frustrating part of all is I lost about 15 minutes of memory.
 I dont remeber the accident at all, i also dont remebr being down on the track, getting up, getting into the ambulance or the ride from the track back to my car. 
 I remeber Laping Pam, (the crazy girl who accused me of stalking her last month)  I passed her in turn 9, that was my best exit from turn 9 all day, held up 110 mph exiting, my previous best speed there had been 108 earlier in the day.   then i remeber going up the hill in turn 3. 
 Then the next thing i remeber im sitting in a ambulance near my truck, theres a lady helping me take my arm out of my leathers so she can put a ice pack on my very swolen hand.  and the guy who pitted next to me peeked his head in to ask if i would like them to load my bike for me.  wich was very cool of them cuase there is no way i could have loaded it myself.
  I was asking the people in the ambulance what happened and where i crashed, then they told me i was asking the same questions over again and i probly had a concussion.   they wanted to take me to the hospital but i said no.  I was there alone i didnt know anyone else there so i had no one to drive my truck,  
 they told me not to drive since my head was messed up and my hands were also messed up.

 So i called some people to see if anyone could come get me.  Ended up with my mom going to pick up my Friend Matty and bringing him out there so he could drive my truck home with me. 
 
 Its friday now,  Im still hurting, headache hasnt gone away.  sweling has somewhat gone down in my arm but its now a dark purple. still cant relay use my right hand much.  Had to buy new glasses Becuase my brand new pair i was wearing got lost in the crash. 
 But im ok.  no broken bones no permanant injuries other then maybe post concussion syndrome. 
  I realy wish i knew what Happened out there though,  I like to learn something from my crashes and with no memory the only thing i can learn from this is you should go to the track alone.    it apears i lsot the front end and low sided, but, there are no slide marks on my tire.  ive lost the front end before and it leaves slide marks.   other posibility , I had the rear end slide on me alot exiting 4b. If it steped out and i begun to highside and tried to fight it back i could have ended up crashing the way i did in 5 but theres also no slide marks on my rear tire. 
 Its alos sugested the someone may have hit me.  also very possible with the evidence,  but I was one of if not the Fastest bike in the sport group all day long i only got passed once where i couldnt pass the person back.  and that guy was a track dayz staff rider, but maybe i was passing someone and they blew there line and hit me.   its very posible.    no one came forward to say what happened. 
 And the Track Dayz people siad i crashed in a very odd place. 
 it was the 5th session and i had not had one problem in turn 5 all day,  I thought it was one of my better turns on the whole track. I would pass people or take a good run to set them up to fly by them in 6.  eather way i never strugled with that turn.  If i had crashed in 1 or 3 i wouldnt have been suprised i took a couple of realy bad lines into them a couple times, if i had lost the rear end in 4B  I wouldnt have been suprised it was sliding all over all day right there.  but loosing the front end in 5 just doesnt make sence. 
 maybe nbext time ill get a camera so i can see what happened if i dont remeber,  but ill probly stay off big willow for awhile. it left a bad taste in my mouth for sure.

 heres a couple pics, start with some of me riding then ill show some of the post crash stuf,  the guy in the grey bike in front of me is the only guy who passed me that day. 
 
 
 
My badly swolen arm 



 Ang here is my baby as she sits now bruised and broken in my back yard waiting on parts. 

New news i was just checking out my helmet, and it broke it.  Ive never seen a Arai helmet broken before.   ill post up a pic of it when i get my camera back from my friend

 Some of you may have seen on the news  that they shut down the 5 north today around castiac.   I was in the middle of the crazy snow storm when it happened.  Ive never seen snow like that in my life.  Of course now growing up in Los Angeles you dont see much snow but this was freaking crazy.   
  Saw a couple of the crashes.   I was heading to fresno for work, we needed to pick up a large compressor to sell to a customer wich was located at a yard in fresno so i left at about 7:30 am  trafic moved good i was heading up the grapevine when i hit rain.  no big deal then as i start going down the hill it started snowing i was like this is cool.  then more snow,  and more snow,   the freeway was down to 2 lanes that were not covered in snow.   I was following a guy  in a little toyota i think,  we were still moving prety fast about 65 or so.   it didnt relay look like the road was that bad yet but it was then up ahead a way a guy spun out in a Uhaul truck with a trailer
  so trafic was stoping i nthe 2 lanes i let off the gas and let my truck slow down abit,  i know better then to jam on the brakes.  but the guy in front of me didnt slow down till he was almost on them then bam hes sliding and he smashed right into the left rear tires of a fuel tanker truck.  all happened right in front of me,  he looked like he was ok but he didnt get out.   he was on the phone probly calling for help i guess.   i didnt go over to his car cuase i was worried someone else may come flying up like he did and take us all out.   but he looked fine sitting there.    It was snowing prety bad and the whole freeway was now white.  I was tlaking to a guy in a truck thathe had also clipped and i gave him my card if he needed a witness cuase i was right behind the guy.  then i got out of there.    I was right at the exit for Pyramid Lake so i pulled off i called the ofice to let them knowwhat happened. 
  and that i would chill there abit to see if the snow stopped.   I waited about a hlf hour and it just kept snowing harder and harder.  the truck was covered in snow and and i decided that i should just head back cuase if i waited any longer i may end up getting stuck out there.   I took a bunch off pics as well. 
   I got back on the freeway and started back, the truck i was in from work had prety bald back tire wich didnt help the situation.  i got in a little train of cars doing about 10 to 15 mph  on the frozen freeway.  i spent a decent amount of time driving side way cuase i couldnt got traction with the back tires.    Slowly but surely we got out of the mess it took awhile at those speeds i passed the people i was following i prefered to have no one in front of me once i was alone i felt alot better.  all in all a prety crazy experience but i got out ok so all is good.    now heres the pics.
 
 First hitting the snow the car i was following 

the snow getting worse

 the car crashed into the truck,  these are phone cam pics i couldnt find my digital at that time 

 the next couple are with my digital this is at pyramid lake i pulled off to wait the storm out.  lol













 Ok now this is after i got back on the road headed back











 And thats it.   what do ya think. 

 Today marks the 5 year aniverery of my Dad Passing away .
    It was probly the toughest part of my life,  i was completely dependant on him,   but with out him i was forced to become the man i am now. 
  I wish he could be here now to enjoy it.  to see that im nto the do nothign kid i was back then but that all the hard work and  things that he showed me and tried to get me to understand eventualy sunk in.

 we didnt always have a good relationship.   But i wouldnt change anything. 
  Ill always miss him. 
   
 

 My favorite car dealer used to be Galpin ive bought 3 cars from them and helped friends buy a few more.   today i went to try to trade in my truck and another and they wouldnt even work with me, they basicaly spit in my face, they will never see my bussinuss anymore.         

 Fianly went back to bike night tonight after a few monthes off, had a realy good time,  i had realy missed my tiems racing up and down sepulveda. 
  and seeing everyone again was great.  
  heres pictures

i have a hard time believe it myself but this happened tonight so im gonna share it with you all. im heading to visit a friend of mine in palmdale. i was coming from alhambra so i decided to take little tujunga, it was dark but little T is one of my favorite canyons of all time, so nite riding i didnt figure to be a problem. Its roughly 9:30pm im probly 5 to 7 miles into the canyon, i come around a left hand turn into a straight and there is a bike in the oposite lane heading towards me, no lights the bike is off. the riders mask was foged over, its a early 90's model yamaha FZR, red and white with the 2 round headlights. i hit the next turn and think, oh shit that guy must be trying to glide down the mountain cuase his bike broke down. so i bust quick U, and tare down after him. i make it about 3 turn, i should have cuaght him by now. hes notthere. there was no where for him to go, i keep going. after a couple more turns i start thinking more. then a couple more turns i hit a decent straight, Nothing. i slow down, at this point im totaly freaked out. i can see down the moutnain i would be able to see his headlights had he turned the bike on. and if he hadnt i would have cuaght him. so i bust another U and tare back up the mountain. my mind is now racing, i dont believe in ghosts. but i dont know what coulda happened. even if the guy had turned the bike back on i woulda seen his brake light. and there was no where for him to turn off the road. so im still a bit freaked out, the idea of ghosts freaks me out, i dont like scary movies the scare the crap out of me. so the whole huanted thing in general freaks me out. has anyone else ever heard any stories of see ghosts on bikes or anything like this. I dont want to realy believe thats what it was but i dont knowwhat else it could have been. on a pitch black mountain with no lights and a fogged over visor. anywways thats my story.
