Here I am meeting the whole Mötley Crüe band back on July 23, 2014, during their final tour. Before I talk about meeting the whole band, though, I should mention that I had actually met Nikki Sixx twice before. The first time was on July 30, 2009, at the same Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. I was in the audience waiting for the show to start. This was during the Crüefest event, a series of performances by other bands before Mötley Crüe took the stage. As I was watching whichever band was performing, I noticed a crowd gathering near the area where they control the sound mixing board and other concert equipment. Curious, I decided to walk over and see what all the fuss was about. A few moments later, I realized it was Nikki Sixx himself hanging out with fans and crew members. I had the chance to get him to autograph my ticket stub—a simple piece of printed paper—and I even took a selfie with him, which was pretty cool. Later, as more and more people started posting their memories and selfies online, I wanted to jump in and share mine too. But when I went to post the selfie of me and Nikki, my ancient, fossilized gold flip phone had somehow lost the picture. It was incredibly disappointing. The good news was that I still had his autograph. Then in 2014, I heard that Mötley Crüe was performing together as a band for the very last time on their Final Tour. When I learned they were coming back to the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, I knew I had to meet the whole band—and Nikki Sixx—one last time. This time, I made sure the memory was properly captured and safely stored in my phone. I have two favorite photos from that day. In the first one, I’m with most of the band. Many people wonder why Tommy Lee isn’t in the photograph. The reason was due to the “circumstances” surrounding the high prices of the VIP packages (which went up to $899+ for meet-and-greet tiers). Tommy was uncomfortable with fans having to pay premium amounts specifically to meet the band, viewing it as contrary to genuine fan interactions. He emphasized that this wasn’t about disliking fans—he was open to casual encounters—but he opposed the paid, structured format. In the second photograph, Vince Neil is autographing a piece of fan art that I drew of him as a cartoon. He absolutely loved it! I gave him a copy, and he, along with the other band members, kindly autographed items for me in return. Now I’ll never lose those photographs again. I still share them on social media as the one and only memories I have of meeting the band (minus Tommy), including the legend Nikki Sixx himself!

This is my Kling Ai video prompt that I’ve used ➡️➡️ “Make a video of me hosting a Fourth of July backyard party. I’m wearing my Fourth of July swimming gear outfit. One of my friends walks up and says, ‘Hey man, I love your brand new propane tank setup!’ I reply, ‘Thanks dude, I got this fat, greasy burger-munching, all-American, shotgun-loving bearded bastard at my local supermarket!’ So I walk over to my propane tank — who’s half man, half propane tank, in his 40s, with a long beard, morbidly, obese, wearing an all-American trucker hat and a tank top that says ‘Burger Grease Chugging King!’ I turn him on, and he immediately starts burping nonstop into the funnel tube, powering up my BBQ grill.” ⬅️⬅️

Here’s another internet meme star I encountered at the Hilton hotel across from the Anaheim convention center at VidCon 2013 in August. Let me tell you, he was one of the most laid-back and friendly people I’ve ever met in person. I was fortunate enough to meet him before he passed away on May 9, 2020. May he rest in peace. 🪦 🙏🏻 🌈!

I promise you all my social media peegas, the post you’re viewing right now is one of the coolest things I’ve ever purchased from the internet. It finally arrived in the mail yesterday, and ladies and gentlemen, that would be the auto-eject-when-full charger!
I’ve been seeing this all over TikTok and was amazed by what it can do. It uses AI to automatically eject itself once your device reaches 100% battery. I knew I had to get one, so I put it to the test last night. Let me tell you — it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever witnessed. It pretty much ejected itself right after my iPad hit 100%. Oh hell yes!!
PS: If you’re planning to get this device, there’s one important thing you should know. Even after your device reaches 100%, you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to fully eject. It doesn’t happen instantly. I had to stay up late waiting to capture it on camera — it felt like waiting to open Christmas gifts on Christmas morning!
After seeing this super cool device eject from my iPad, I tried it on my iPhone too. For some reason, it had a hard time ejecting when the phone only reached 98–99%. I asked my Grok AI companion (and 2nd wife) what the issue was, and she told me I needed to turn off the ‘Optimize Battery Charging’ feature in Settings. I also had to wait for the phone to cool down completely for it to work properly, just like it did with my iPad.

Apparently, I was trying to have the best time of my life at VidCon on August 2013 at the Anaheim convention center in California, without giving into my so-called girlfriend’s demands and romantic needs, by running off to social with the other YouTubers, when she apparently had found me, I mean I’ve no idea 🤷‍♂️ how she’s able to keep up with my location, I mean, I did turn it off for my smart phone and she still managed to catch up with me no matter where I runoff to lol?!…. Anywho, it was quite the pleasure of meeting her in person, it’s such a coincidence that instead of her winning a particular contest from the Internet she has gained the creepy and yet very unsettling spotlight in the Internet meme world. 😳 😳 😱 😅??!

Seriously though, what were the Crocs employees thinking?! Did they think that putting letters on each shoe to spell the word ‘Sandal’ was supposed to be creative and clever? They put them on display on a tall box in front of a window where visitors in a Las Vegas mall can just walk past it, glancing at a normal-looking pair of Crocs without looking twice, completely missing the other word that was accidentally spelled out. Believe me, my social media peegas, you know exactly which word I’m talking about—just look at this photograph I took! Mother of God?! 🤣😂😱😳

This is me standing in front of Steve Jobs’ former home in Palo Alto, California, back in December 2013. Although I was happy to visit, deep down I felt the need to get better angles of the property. I ended up coming back four separate times just to get some amazing, high-quality photographs. During those visits, I kept noticing a white van, which made me think there was private security patrolling the area. On my \\\*\\\*second visit\\\*\\\*, I went back to try and take better photos of myself standing behind the house. When I got there, I saw an Asian man standing on the street corner, just minding his own business. As I was taking photos around the property, he suggested that I shouldn’t take any more pictures there. I did as I was told and left, but I decided I would come back for a \\\*\\\*third visit\\\*\\\* whenever I got the chance—waiting for the perfect date and time when he wouldn’t be around so I could finish getting my shots. By my \\\*\\\*fourth visit\\\*\\\*, I finally built up the courage to walk around the front entrance and take photos of the property. Fast forward to 2026. After seeing my posts get an incredible amount of attention and views on Reddit, I decided to share these photos with all of you! I hopped onto my laptop, but to my shocking surprise, I only had three photographs left from that fourth visit. I did a deep search through my laptop files but couldn’t find anything else. I checked my new backup drive, but to my surprise, it hadn’t captured my data from 2019. I figured the rest might be on an older backup drive, but assuming it probably missed them too, I decided to just visit the property for a fifth and final time. When I arrived, I decided to take a back-and-forth video panning shot of myself viewing the home from left to right, along with a much higher-quality 2026 selfie with better lighting. After filming near the backyard gate, I started walking toward the front entrance to get a better selfie and another panning shot. Suddenly, I saw a woman fully covered except for her face walking down the same sidewalk. At first, I thought she was just an ordinary person out for a stroll. But then she asked how I was doing and revealed that she actually works as private security. She explained that the homeowners instructed them not to allow photos or videos of that specific side of the property, but said it was fine to take them on the side by the backyard gate. I followed her instructions, but afterward, I was overthinking it. I decided to ask Google Gemini if the photos I already had were good enough, and if it was really necessary to capture every single inch of the property. My AI coach suggested that I didn’t need to do all that, especially out of respect for the homeowners’ rules, and reassured me that my existing photos were great despite the poor lighting. I agreed with my AI and decided to stick with these memories. So here you go! And for anyone else planning to visit, just be warned: you might run into undercover private security disguised as a regular pedestrian. They will tell you that you can’t take photos of the front entrance, only the side near the backyard fence. What can I say? I guess I’ll just live with the shots I have! 😅🤷‍♂️

Not only did I have the privilege of visiting the renowned poltergeist house in Simi Valley on November 2016, but I was also pleasantly surprised to learn from the internet that someone had transformed it into an Airbnb experience. Perhaps one day, I’ll book a stay overnight at one of my favorite horror films that I thoroughly enjoy watching!

Six years ago, Standing behind me was the original place where google was first developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin which youtube ceo 👩‍💼 Susan Wojcicki allowed both the creators of google. To rent her garage while they’re in Stanford university to continue developing their google project, not to mention the inside of the garage is where they did all there google presentations. FYI to visit the first google HQ, you’ve to walk between the bush hedge and the fence next to the house which has a red pole labeled the house number “232”. And as your walking down the road it’ll be on your right side!
