Bear bytes, Fun. Guaranteed, Meet Walmer

By Jarod DeAnda, March 9, 2010

Caught an email last week from a fan of the blog, Walmer Medina… Here’s Walmers TWITTER Follow him!

Never met Walmer, never knew of him and now I can say after exchanging some emails and being blessed with a gift from him he’s a solid guy. Walmers a fan of life, a husband and a father. Walmer sounds pretty much like me! It’s amazing how people can run concurrent lives but if you take a look around stir up a conversation you’ll see that there’s people that exist that share the some hobbies, passions and zest for life that you do, just be approachable, honest and sincere and your actions and good things/people will approach you…
I sound a bit like a fortune cookie, but regardless Walmer sent me a package that consisted of the following pieces…….Thanks Walmer, we’ll get up sooner than later, can’t wait to share a beer with ya!

Walmer’s Director or Marketing for the Fresno Grizzlies the Triple AAA minor league baseball team for the SF Giants

Grizzlies beanie, New Era official team hat and a stuffed animal bear for my son Parker…

Guess what the bears name is????
Yep, Parker…

Walmer even sent over the newest from FASHAWN- Boy Meets World

I give the Fresno Grizzlies hat a thumbs up!

Parker gives his Grizzlie a thumbs up as well!!!

Titles of blogs just come out of nowhere and some I apologize for but it is what it is…
Inspiration comes from either the post, the product or what’s in my mind at the time of writing it…
This weekend was a blast we had a good time with family, friends which are basically family (The Forsbergs) and just good experiences…

The title for this blog was inspired from an SNL skit from last week w/ J Lo, yes just watch and laugh!

Interview with yours truly… Sitting Shotgun: Jarod DeAnda The Interview

By Jarod DeAnda, March 3, 2010

There’s a brand spanking new drift website that’s capturing the drifting scene from the street level to the starting grid at the professional level, it’s called 1K Drift, it actually means 1,000 drifters of Facebook but I’m sure it’ll branch out farther than Facebook, maybe even twitter, MySpace or even digressing back to Friendster or even analog means such as “message pigeons”…

I was stoked to be the 1st ever interview on the website and I even gave Corey the owner of the site the name Sitting Shotgun for interviews… Thanks Corey and good luck with the site, see you at HyperFest!

Off Seasons by Ryan Tuerck

By Jarod DeAnda, February 24, 2010

Formula Drift pilot and 2nd place overall in 2009 Ryan “Hampshaa” Tuerck and Drift Alliance filmer Andy Laputka just released a new video that I KNOW you’ll enjoy!

There’s no music just the sounds of the car, it’s not on a race track, no super flashy graphics, it’s almost like capturing a wild animal in it’s natural environment… The animal being Ryan Tuerck & his prepped 240SX the environment being virgin pavement and a backdrop NOBODY’S ever seen in Ryan’s home of New Hampshire, hence the nickname “Hampshaa”!!

I really like the vibe of this video, short and sweet and even notice one of the big drifts has NO rubber laid down prior AKA 1ST TAKE SHOT!

Love it!
Congrats “Hampshaa” and Andy on a great fun film for drift fans!

Extra baggage….Thanks OGIO + ROGVE STATVS & BLVCK SCVLE

By Jarod DeAnda, February 23, 2010

Hello ya’ll I’m a traveling fool as you know, but you don’t know I don’t check baggage, seriously I HATE the checking of the bag, the fees (even though I just was upgraded status) and most of all I HATE wondering if my bags are gonna make it, so I carry on…

OGIO has stoked me out with a new Layover model bag, I said loud and proud, I like it loud! (go figure)
My last model Layover has been great so I’m sure this one will serve me properly, Thanks OGIO!

Out with the old, in with the new…

At MAGIC last week Rogue Status hooked me up with a couple tee’s…

As well as Mega, Rob and the fellas from Black Scale.. One of the shirts is 5th Column X Black Scale even
