Clubbin Bangkok

It's been 6 years since I've been back in Thailand. What a big difference from before. Bonus being with the entourage. Jr. you owe us big!

Clubbin scene is rocking! Check it out..

Shibuya

Shibuya is one of the 23 city wards of Tokyo, but often refers to just the popular shopping and entertainment area around Shibuya Station. I found it to be kick ass and full of interesting people. Defiantly a bit touristy but it's for sure the main shopping center. Tokyo drift baby!

Japan Magazine Debut

This is how a debut for a magazine should be.
What a kick ass party!

Tokyo Clubbin!!!!

Tokyo Rocks! Had the chance to go to Tokyo, Japan for the first time with my friends Thai and Tony. It was VIP and champagne all the way, thanks to Chie, Keiichi and Hiro our local friends. Hot restaurants, bars, clubs and those oh so cute Japanese girls hihi :-) They all dress with style!


I grew up in Seattle and had a lot of influence to Japanese culture and Japanese exchange students :-) But finally this trip made it all real. I totally forgot how much Japanese I knew. I had to test it out on the ladies, of course they just kept nodding, smiling and saying Quan san. haha :-) So maybe my Japanese wasn't all so good :-)


And unlike the view of the Western world, Japan's culture is not weird. It's just very special. Unique, sophisticated and brilliant. I can't wait to get back.

Bull Riding

Whoo Hoo!!! Ahh yaaa, it was so real I could smell the bull's ass!

Nice rugged Western sweather huh? Give me a break it was Chicago in winter time.

It was freezing!!

Double Vision

Sometimes my vision gets a little blurred, a bit pyschodic abit double visioned. Not sure where to focus or if my next blurred step will take me over a cliff. It might be clear but all them damn images doubling up on me drives me crazy. Shit, am I wearing brown again? Is brown the new black or should i wear blue. It would be nice if you give it to me straight, right up my ass, stab me in the back and leave me to die. Doesn't really matter what you do since no body knows I'm hear. Right hear yet no where and some day some where else. What the fuck did I just say? Damn double vision, can't see straight.

Street Band

Starting up a band and getting into show business can be tough. You sometimes have to bite down hard and do things you really don't want to do. A lot of time on the casting couch and maybe a special favor here and there. Sometimes I feel just like a piece of meat being thrown to a pack of wolves.

These two seem to be doing it on their own. Start small, stick to your morals and let the people appreciate something from the heart. I admire that. Man I wish I had the patients and wasn't such a whore. Anyway, I'm sure this first single of theirs I heard could go mainstream in say 10 years. But if they are smart they'll promote it on my YoBanBe.com. It's a cheap and effective way to promote your band without selling your body or soul. Hmmm there's a slogan. hahaha shameless plug!

Cruzin Seattle

My little bro Bach is now 22 and cruzin the streets and hanging around Seattle much like I did in the day. Only difference is he's driving a Mercedes and I was in a 8 year old Mazda 626. Damn kids don't know how good they have it these days. Really fun to be back in SeaTown and being able to hang with my little kid brother. Damn punk kid! :-) hahaha

Back in Seattle, July 2007

Good to be back in the USA after nearly 2 years!

This is Proof!!! Hahaha!!!

I'm A Dirty Rat!

"You're a dirty bastard rat!" she told me. "Your a god damn dirty rat!!!!!" How do I defend myself againts such slandering words. It almost tore my heart out to hear her say that but when I looked deep down inside into the depth of my heart to try and pull out any last ounce of self worth I responded with....."WHATEVER BIOTCH!" hahaha. I don't care!!!

Does an artist have to explain themselves?

So what if I come on way to strong,

Or make your little mind question what's right or wrong.

You're the biggest cliché in this room.

Striving for acceptance from a common pack,

I'll flip you the finger when I'm looking back.

It's perfection within in-perfection.

Soon every little fault in my life,

Will tear a hole in your skull like a knife.

By the way, no rodents were harmed in the making of this blog. Also, she didn't really call me a "rat" but it makes for better drama.Thanks, I love you all!Quan

Branding

You would think that if you told someone they needed a brand they would say, "HELL NO!"

Why the hell would I want some one to stick a hot iron on my ass so everyone knows my name or who I belong to. Can you see me walking around with VN Rat on my forehead? Then again I guess they would call this bad branding. So good branding must be buying a crap load of expensive clothes. This way people will know that I ride a horse and swing a club or that I have lighting streaks coming from my shoes because I can run fast. Can anybody just see me for me????!!!!!!!! Crap, hope none of my clients read this.

Kissing Ass

Sometimes I feel like that horses ass is right there in my face and all I can do is kiss it. Makes me feel be-littled and insignificant. But I guess it's better then sticking my ass in someones face, only to have them stick something up mine. Man life is just like ASS.

Quan The Rat

The Chinese astrological cycle begins with the year of the Rat; consequently those born within this category like to be first, pioneers, at the forefront of the action. Because of this, they tend to see themselves as a cut above the others. Restless and inquisitive, those born under the influence of the Rat are active, both physically and mentally, and tend to lead busy lives. Challenge is essential to them for they love the thrill of living dangerously, adapting easily to different environments and surviving against all odds. With clairvoyance, intuition, perspicacity and an eye for detail, Rats are formidable problem solvers, finding workable solutions to the knottiest problems. Travelling is one of their favorite pastimes. They have a natural talent for the arts, specifically writing.

The Rat possesses attributes ranging from charming and humorous to honest and meticulous. The Chinese say those born in these years make good and wise advisors, yet they can never decide for themselves and change direction constantly. However, Rats at times hunger for power and money, leading some to be gamblers and others to be manipulative or petty. Their greed can lead them into a destructive trap. They should avoid the negative traits of being sly, secretive, critical and judgmental of others. Another problem is that they can worry and fret endlessly, especially about their health, which creates internal stress. To combat this, Rats need space and understanding, love and companionship.

Rats are best known for their charm and intelligence, which often wins admiration wherever they go. Blessed with a sharp wit, they possess a marvelous sense of humor, which makes them stimulating and amusing company to have around. Generally extroverted, they may well be described as opportunists for they prefer to live off their wits rather than labor long and hard to earn their daily bread.

The Rat has a great appetite and appreciates fine cuisine, loving all types of good food, fine wines, baked goods and gourmet meals. Although he may not be patient enough to prepare these great meals himself, he does enjoy dining at all the latest restaurants.

Rats should have a happy childhood and a carefree youth. However, the second part of their lives may be stormy and problematical. They may be prone to lose money in a bad business deal or their happiness in an unfortunate love affair. The third part of their lives will be comfortable, and their old age as peaceful as could be wished.

It is important to note whether the Rat was born in the summer or the winter of the year. In summer the lofts and granaries are full, but in winter the Rat will be obliged to go out and forage for food, and must watch out for the traps set along the way. In human terms, this could mean the risk of prison or an accidental death.

The Passionate Rat

Rats are able to control their feelings and will generally present a cool facade to the outside world, regardless of whatever volcanic emotions they may be feeling inside. But these are passionate creatures whose feelings can be deeply stirred and though able to control them as a rule, when the volcano does erupt, watch out! Perhaps one of their faults is their inability to actually talk about their feelings to those they love, and consequently they tend to repress them -- thus adding to the volcanic pressure. As well as being deeply passionate they are sensual creatures who simply exude sexuality and who greatly enjoy all forms of physical stimulation.

Rats' romantic life is very quiet, provided that they take care not to interact with the Horse or Rooster. In particular, it is catastrophic for a male Rat to marry a female Fire Horse. They should be wary of those born in the Year of the Tiger; although a light social bond may be enjoyable, a deeper relationship may prove problematic. Rats have excellent relationships and much happiness with the Dragon, Monkey and Ox born.

January is the month of the Rat. The time of the Rat is from 11:00 p.m. to 12:59 a.m.; their direction of orientation is the north. The Rat's color is light blue.
