I went to the L. A. Auto Show with Chris Choi. We didn't spend too much time there, but I went crazy with my camera and took a bunch of pictures of a bunch of cars.

It was a fun event. It wasn't too crowded since we went there on Wednesday night. Before when I went on a weekend, there were so many people it was hard to get a chance to sit inside the driver's seat of different cars.

Oh yeah, by the way. Chris Choi is a young and single bachelor dentist. If you know any nice young lady you can introduce him to, let me know. He's very available.

I Want To Be The Biggest Fattest Loser

I'm thinking about gaining 300 pounds and quickly trying to lose 310 lbs. I want to be the Biggest Loser. I want to win $300,000 or so and a lifetime supply of Subway sandwiches.

I know it's not going to be easy. I'll probably kill myself from eating so much way before I even gain that much weight. Well, it's a challenge and I love challenges. Well it depends on the challenge I guess.

I already eat a lot as everyone around me knows. I think I eat more than anyone I know. I'm constantly eating all day. I can't imagine how much more I have to eat in order to gain so much weight. Sometimes I eat 6000+ calories in one day. I guess all that biking helps me to burn off all those calories. I don't want to stop cycling so I guess I'll have to eat more. A heluva lot more!

I currently weigh about 135 lbs. The heaviest I got was 148 lbs. at one point in college. When I started running, after I got my bike stolen at the library my 3rd year in law school, I went down to 125 lbs.

Can you imagine me at 435 lbs.?

Here are some pictures from the Los Angeles Auto Show. Too many awesome cars! I can't say which one is my favorite. Each year it seems that cars get more and more incredible. At this rate, cars will be going 0-60 in under 3 seconds and get 100 mpg in our lifetime. Who knows? It could happen with the rate technology is advancing.

American cars are really starting to step up their quality and design. I was quite impressed.

These pictures were taken on my way back from the YNC Cycling Malibu Ride. I took some shots in Beverly Hills, L.A. County Museum of Art, La Brea Tar Pits, Museum Square, and Downtown L.A.

I've biked over 6,000 miles this year. I put over 12,000 miles on my bike since 2006. I put about 1,200 miles on it in 2006. In 2007: 2,000 miles. In 2008, 4,000 miles. I'd like to put 8,000 miles in 2010, but we'll see how busy I get next year. It was tough putting 6,000 miles on my bike this year since I worked so much.

Griffith Park xmas lights

I went to the Griffith Park xmas lights on opening night on December 3. The roads were closed to cars. It was supposed to be open to bikes only, but there were a lot of pedestrians walking around as well.

I think it's a very romantic place to ride with your significant other. It's much better than being stuck in traffic in your cars driving around there. You can really see the lights in much better detail and enjoy the fresh air along with many other people.

Last time I was there was a nightmare. It was bumper to bumper traffic the entire time. I was driving a stick shift Mustang too. After awhile, my leg started to get very sore.

While I started to ride back home, Phil Lee saw me. He must have good eyes, because it was pretty dark. He caught up to me and then we chatted for a few minutes.

Santa Monica Turkey Trot

The Saturday after Thanksgiving I went to run the Santa Monica Wobble Gobble 5K Turkey Trot.

I ran pretty fast in the beginning, but after I hit the first mile marker, I started feeling really bad. I ate too much food right before the race. The race started late so I just kept on eating more snacks and drinks until it started. That was a really bad idea. My insides felt like they were about to explode while I was running. I started feeling sick. I had to slow down a lot. All those people I passed in the beginning started passing me back. Even old grandmas and little kids started passing me. Those were fast little kids!

I was able to still finish in 26 minutes. I wanted to finish in 24 minutes. Oh well, there's another race coming up soon. I was going to do a 10K, but I have way too many things to do. Even Saturdays are busy because I help Sarah at the pharmacy.
