You know what Ive come to realize. Tipping is wack!!!!!!!!

wait. scratch that. Tipping is cool, when its warranted. Dont get me wrong now, i dont mind tipping if you actually deserve extra money for DOING YOUR FUCKING JOB! I only feel this way because waiters and bartenders seem to think that I HAVE to tip them? Did I not get that memo? I tip you if your service was exceptional. I got my meal/drink quick, you werent an asshole and i felt welcomed.

I really dont appreciate that "They have to tip me so I dont care attitude," and i generally get that attitude from bartenders. Namely those in vegas, where tipping a bartender is a waste of time cause it will get you no where to leave a good tip for someone who wont remember you 2min later.

Although, tipping can totally work to your advantage, especially in Vegas. Tip your bouncers, tip the hotel staff, tip your bell boy and valet guy. Good enough tip and some kind words and youre likely to get some free shit out of it. So be nice to those dudes, and be mean to the bartenders that act like douches.

OOOOOH MAN. So, if you didnt get the memo yet, Im in San Francisco and its great!! Been years since Ive been here and I remember why I love&Hate the city so much. Public transportation is amazing - the streets for driving suck ass, theres so many cool people to meet - Theres so many fucking people in my bubble, and theres so much food to try out - Theres too many damn people to take an afternoon jog..

Anyways the trip so far has been great and a much needed vacation. Djed at Azul bar & lounge last night and that was great fun. The other part of the team is flying in today and the clubs are definitely not ready for us! hahaha!

/Teknikscians Survival Tips
Last episode, I presented some basic technique to getting out of a street fight, other than running away. Well you should always run, so you dont get hauled in by the cops or get stomped by the opponents boys/girls/dogs. But, today something that may be a little more useful.

Everyone HATES cell phone companies. Its a known fact, and presented here by CBS news, it is an industry full of shady dealings. Hidden fees, crap service, tacking on extra charges to your bill that arent yours, crap phones, Termination fees and a slew of other not so nice monopoly type things.

Today I present some tips to breaking your contract without getting docked with an early termination fee. Ive personally successfully gotten out of contracts 3 times! Hopefully make it a 4th, cause Im not too happy with Tmobile or my sidekick currently. (NOTE to self...DO NOT ever in life buy another sidekick....btw Microsoft just bought out Danger the people who make the software for the sidekicks...be afraid)

1.) The first thing you should try to get out of your contract is to be "That guy/girl." The on that complains NON STOP, yells, curses and is just generally pissed at the situation. Sometimes, if you complain enough and loud enough your carrier will just drop you because youre such a hassle to deal with. Piss off some phone center people, yell at upper management and just be an asshole basically. This is your first line of defense. It helps you build a case just incase you dont get dropped for being an asshole.

2.) File a complaint with the BBB and the FTC (Federal trade commission). This is probably the best way to get out of a contract. Have a consumer rights agency do all the talking for you. The only deal with this, is that you actually need a real reason for wanting out. Crap service is a huge one and generally works all the time, but you really do need crap service.

3.) Find out if your carrier has raised any charges. Like text, data etc etc. Even if they raised the price by a penny, its a breach of contract on their part and they HAVE to let you out of the contract. They will of course fight it and try to say they dont, but keep pushing and youll be set free!!

4.) Claim LEMON! If your phone sucks, as my sidekick does, you can claim lemon. Have to file several complaints and do some work but it can be done!

Basically, you have to work for it but its worth it. Of course the company doesnt want you to leave, but hey...got to do what you got to do!

For you Tmo customers heres some help. They raised the price of text messages recently


You are now safe from those devil cell phone carriers =)

7.29.08 Teknikscian's Survival Tips

One day, you will find yourself in a scary, life threatening and dire situation that you are probably not prepared for. Stranded on the side of the road, lost in the woods, street brawl in front of the used to be Aladdin hotel & casino new years eve on the Las Vegas strip or just in a generally fucked up situation that will cause you to panic like a school girl on prom night about to make the sex for the first time (I think they start at like 12 years old nowadays... so that may not be accurate anymore).

No fear, Teknikscian is HERE to help you get through these tough situations. Today, Well start with the street fight. How to successfully NOT be that douche bag that has to get carried home by his friends in a bloody mess. The one that no one wants in their car without some saran wrap handy.

---

A couple facts first
- over 90% of fights will end up on the ground
- The average fight will not last longer than a couple of min. if that
- Most of the time, its just talk

---

Top 7 Things you should be aware of during a street fight.

1. Know your surroundings
- Are there tables, chairs, weapons, bottles or your oppents friends present?
- Think about where you are fighting and quickly play out a senario in your head

2. Size up your oppoent....then times that by 20!
- Is he big small tall lanky heavy??
- Look for signs of a trained fighter, ears, stance, knuckles

3. Know your own strengths and weaknesses
- If you are better at boxing than grappling, you should probably stay off the ground

4. Balance!!!
- Goes along with knowing your surroundings, dont get caught tripping over your own feet!

5. Keep your gaurd up
- Best offense is a good defense in these situations.
- Let your opponent throw the punches and wear themselves out

6. Staminia
- Conserve your energy, fighting for a 30 seconds is like sprinting 100m!

7. Plan your attack!
- Go into the fight knowing where you are going to strike first.
- Over hand rights, are pre programmed into the male mind, so theres a good chance that your un trained opponent is going to throw an over hand right on the first punch... be aware of that and take advantage. Kidneys are wide open =)

Teknikscians Top 3 fight tips!!

1. Rear naked choke
- Everyone tries to put one of these on their opponent. Its fairly easy to get, and pretty difficult to get out of if done properly.
- This is how you perform one & Here
- This is how you get out of one & Here

2. Defend yourself from punches
- Obviously the best way is to not get them bitches thrown at you! But, if you are in the line of fire you need to know how to stop them and save your pretty face.
- How to block with a double punch
- How to telegraph a punch / kick
- How to defend punches from the ground

3. Do whatever it takes and Dont hesitate
- These guys make some pretty informative videos. Fight dirty, and win

4. Run away!!
- Its not a bitch move I promise. Who cares, throw a couple punches, avoid their friends and GTFO (Get the fuck out!). No need to stand tall and get your head smashed in. That = FAIL


You are now safe for another day.

I hate parking lot attendants. Anyone having anything to do with me parking is an asshole automatically. I dont mind paying for parking, thats whatever, but I hate people who are given the "power" to let me into a parking lot, give out fake ass non San Diego county tickets and threaten me with a tow. Knowing full well their "power" goes no further than their words.

That is all. Nothing more to report than my complete hatred for parking lot attendants and their lack of job skills.

/Stereotypes..
I love stereotypes, because people get all rawled up over them even though 90% of the time its an accurate description.

For instance.
- Every black person wants to start a Record Label

Truth.
- As a Dj I get approached by a lot of people and 100% of people that approach me about some budding record label or their new artist have been black. No lie, no disrespect...just fact

For instance.
- Asian women cant drive

Truth.
- I dont need to explain myself

Im sayin. Stereotypes are funny cause they are all true! "everybody knew when you walked in here that you was gonna order the chicken!"
