For those who didn’t get the memo, I created a new site— http://brandonchuang.com
It’s got a lot of similar stuff as what I posted on here, so if you liked what was on here, you should follow me over there.
Do it.
The ladyfriend and I have lived together for a few years now, but we’ve never really officially decorated our place—at least not how we really want it. When we do, she worries that it won’t look like “her” place, and to an extent, I worry too. Our tastes are almost nothing alike. However, I do know that she likes to sew, and you know what I like? Wall vinyls. Sewing Kit Wallstickers are awesome, because they’re basically just sewing lines that you can trace however you want, thereby tying in the lady’s love of sewing, with my love of kick ass, thus creating, what I believe they call on HGTV, “a style compromise.” Now if only they had Family Circus’ Billy in a wall vinyl, I’d be all set.
After all the recent posts about birdhouses, I figured it’s time for something different. Okay, only slightly different.

I realized I was my father’s son whenever I found out that we both weigh awkward to position things the same way—before trips, he makes my mom stand on the scale, and then has her pick up their suitcases to see how much they weigh. I make the ladyfriend stand on the scale, and then I have her pick up our dog, Bailey. Great minds think alike. Greater minds engineer a better scale.
I’m pretty sure that if you’re over the age of 15 and you skateboard you better be either a.) a signed professional, or b.) live in New York and read NYLON or live in California and read whatever you damn well want, because your entire state is in some form of suspended adolescence. With that being said, The Freshness approves of the Arbor Collective GB Sizzler Longboard. Topped with Hawaiian Koa and beautifully carved, the Sizzler is a standout piece that’ll do just as well carving up the streets as it will looking fine in a corner of your living room if you don’t fall into one of the categories above.

What I’m Listening To Right Now: “She Don’t Use Jelly” from The Flaming Lips
Hungover Owls
“Look, I’m sorry for blowing up earlier. It’s just…I can feel tequila…in my face.”
Hungover Owls is amazing. Exactly what it bills itself as, Hungover Owls is a site showcasing your favorite nighttime avians (maybe I do have a thing for birds), and brilliant captioning. *Sigh* Someone give them a book deal, and pass me over. Again.
Honestly, I’m not even that huge a fan of Kanye’s “Power,” but I just keep finding awesomeness that is related to it. This time it’s Freddie Wong and Destorm Power that have created “Power Hour,” and if you watch the original video, and then this, you’ll realize how genius this really is. No one touch those drinks ‘cause they ours.
Surprisingly, I’ve written about birds before, which shows either a.) how much I love avian creatures, or b.) how much I love tiny, designer birdhouses. I have a feeling the OOOMS Solar Birdhouse is made much more for me in mind, than the birds. Built with a solar paneled roof, the birdhouse has a pedestal that illuminates at dusk to “welcome the birds home.” Which in bird talk translates to “they put up a fucking streetlight next to my bedroom window.” Whatever, I think it looks cool, and that’s all that matters, amiright?!

What I’m Listening To Right Now: “Seven Days” from Craig David’s Born To Do It
I’m not so sure about the title of the album, but hey, the tune’s catchy.
