Guest Blogger: Alvin aka Alvinism

Sunday morning, Chachy and I grabbed Panera Bread for breakfast.  We were both pretty zombie like... HAHA.  Its been a wild and crazy few days but it was time to head back down to SD.  Thanks again to Chachy, Melissa, and James for letting me spend the weekend at their place.  143!

Instead of heading straight home and resting up, I made my way to Willy's Workshop in Mira Mesa for the Street Fighter II Tournament.  It was pretty crackin'!  Since Alvin already blogged about the event in his Alvinism, I thought I'd just have him do a guest blog.  Make sure you check out his blog for interesting fun facts, food picture of the day, and more random craziness.

Introducing Mr. Alvin Glen Benavidez aka Alvinisms.  Take it over:

...we had to get Willys Workshop ready for our Street Fighter II tournament. Here's Fatch and Vince setting up the bracket and Willy in the distance setting up the camera.
The early birds came to practice.
All the while, we were watching the Chargers game.
You gotta love curry. Especially if its hooked up!!!
Here's the sign up; don't forget there was a backside full of competitors.
It got packed real quick inside the Shop.
And the crowd started gathering outside too. Guess what they are all looking at.
Oh shnaps!!! We projected that ish on window so everyone could watch in the cool air and lots of space.
Mike aka Stacks and Jeff. You may have the belt Mike, but I still have the record!
Its always storytime w/ Toes aka Boner.
What's the look for Fatch!?!
The man behind it all, Mr. Willy Santos. Check out our Philippines/Workshop tees in the background.
The buck didn't stop there. We had live music courtesy of DJ Deeohz.
Yeah!!! Joe Friday came through and hooked me up w/ some SOAKvsKAOS goodies. BMXing in Kearny this week son!
I don't know his name but he always comes in the shop and gives us a few laughs. Thanks for supporting the Shop.
3 of 4 TAA: Steven, Toe-Knee and Joe. Not pictured: Guil. We're gonna start SAA: Alvin, Edwin and Fatch.
These are my two mentors: JRazcal and Aric Sanders aka The Colonel.
Hand eye coordination, reflexes, knowledge, instinct, skill are just few talents needed to be in contention w/ us.
Rolondo aka Deeohz is a gamer. Thanks for throwing the game. Hahaha!
DJ Chadwick!?! Ha! JK, he doesn't DJ, but he can SKATE!!!
Vince was the man in charge of the standings. If you wanted to pay someone off, he's the man.
I call this the "CHOMP CHOMP CREEPER" set. Hello Steven chomping down on his L&L's and I spy a creeper.
Iggy is about to chomp chomp a mouthful while the creeper does what he does best. Creep.
Kimtan got a mouthful of katsu but he's creeping me out more that the creeper!!! Hahaha!!!
This is my favorite picture because of the background foreground play, and awesome shirt that says it all, and a little bit of foreshadowing.
I thought Ken was white but Ollie's cool too. Willy isn't intimidating anyone w/ a stance and funny smile like that!!! Hahaha!
Ollie-You-Can!!! (Damn, that was an Ollie joke!!!)
Willy got knocked off by Air Force Guile, I mean Leo.
After Willis got tired, TK took over as emcee. Here he is saying, "speak into my cock". SWEAR!!!
Roomies!!! Rae Rae and Apes.
TK called this match up: The battle of the hottest dark asian guy. But look at their faces!!! Hahaha!!!
Eric uses Red Ken so Ollie came by and supports well...himself?
Willy the man, Ollie the character, and the tournament all in one picture.
Ann aka Frances is the funniest!!!
Jeff and Eric are two legends I've never seen play. On Sunday I saw them battle it out. This Alvinism is hella nerdy w/ all the video game talk. But as Vince and I say, "I DON'T EVEN CARE!" *inside joke alert
Ollie and I got matching shoes. But I rock them w/ red laces. Maybe I am a Blood. JK!
Eric comes away w/ third place. Congrats brotha, come by and train anytime!
The battle for first!!! PJ Styles gave up bboying for a while to go into hardcore training. I fought Frank in the first round winning one fight and gettin halfway the other two. So close to beating the second place guy! Shit!
If you haven't guessed, PJ Styles won the tournament w/ his Guile, Frank got second and Eric in third. Congrats and thank you for coming out.
Just look at Fatch's face on the far left! Ha!!!!!
