Fun With GifBoom!

This Week or So in Photos... and other stuff...

That's it, you have no choice, if you're reading this right now you have just committed yourself to watching the film The Raid: Redemption. I'm going to Martial Arts nerd it the fuck up here for a minute and say that, The Raid: Redemption will do for Pencak Silat, what Ong Bok did for Muay Thai, which is effectively, blow it the fuck up as a bad ass way of killing people. Pencak Silat is a fighting style from the South East Asian Archipelago I'm all too dangerously familiar with, known as Indonesia! Fundamentally speaking, it's like a more exaggerated kind of close quarter style of fighting. All I really have seen of it is in the movie, so I guess that's to be considered why I say "exaggerated". Most of it seems to have a strong focus on stick and edged weapons (knives / machetes) kind of like the Philippine's Kali. Anyway, it's incredibly entertaining to watch.

It's pretty nice to wake up outside in a tent. It was freezing cold tho. That's why I woke up and took this photo actually, I was freezing to death and my body woke me up so I wouldn't die! I was however, the first person awake in the entire "campground" (it was actually the football field of a Reagan Middle School, located approximately in ShitDick, Illinois... actually it was really nice). Upon coming to the realization that someone stole my Vans (shoes) that I thought I parked outside the tent, I walked barefoot too my car to retrieve a pair of feet holders. I considered going on an axing spree on some of the sleeping campers, cuddled up in their tents when I saw my axe in the trunk. But, instead I just grabbed my other pair of Vans, took a piss, went back to my tent, found my "stolen" Vans, smoked some weed, took my brain pills and went back to sleep until around 9:30-10:00.

I've been having some run-ins with sleep demons lately, they're small, about the size of a child, but they're fierce too (not the way gay guys mean it)... Hot teeth and claws for miles on these little mothers. Think, like a gremlin but less herky-jerky on their movement, sleep demons move like cats and strike like cobras.

It may seem a little "white bread" for beer snobs, but I actually continue to like this beerBev...

So, I was trying to make my domicile smell pleasing on this day, by adding some scented room defuser wax to my various vessels around the house specifically engineered to do that. I looked over at the plate and thought to myself, "that looks like cheese"... then I wondered.. "am I going out tonight?"... "I think I am"... So I wrote myself this warning JIC!

I ain't saying shit about this shit... Are you a Cop?... If you're a Cop, you know you have to tell me (that's one of those hilarious urban legends all stoners have told other stoners, perpetuating some kind of rediculous legal weed mythos). I'm still not saying shit tho...

Made some lunch on this day, pork tenderloin wrapped around feta cheese, asparagus and spinach. I idiotically placed Yukon Gold Potatoes below in a Pyrex casserole dish to cook in the delicious swine juice... 

It ended up being quite fantastic... a little dry, sauces might be needed in the future to perfect this one.

So weird, I opened my front door for the first time in months to find a mysterious package at the front door. When I opened it, I had no idea what to expect. Was it some Tony Robins-esque self-impro money making VHS tapes my dad had ordered me? Something I ordered in the midst of a Sauvingnon Blanc brown out? I had no idea, so I pulled this out of the box and it had the following post-it note on it....

Shark bag you say?... Here's the money shot...

It took me a minute to remember who the fuck Catherine Rose is, on the account of the amount of how many hot bitches I be smooching... As it turns out, the previous statement is totally untrue and it was my Shark Week gift from my dear good friend Catie Santo Juan who works for Zappos, a small mom  and pop outta Las Vegas... Cate, you are the coolest and never cease to amaze me by the amount of shark shit you have brought into my life! :)

I would like to personally thank days when no one needs anything from me, and my parents dish network log-in info for HBO GO, since I don't have cable. Sometimes you stumble across the exact thing you need! Which is an over-grown Carcharias Carcharodon who just generally wants to fuck some shit up... Black Flag's "Loose Nut" is on right now... H to the Rollins... Are you respected as a singer of Blag Flag? A bartender from the Red Blood Club in Dallas a couple of years ago would strongly detest...

You are a Master & Commander of playing it straight sir... Buy your weed from Russel Crowe... Sour Diesel Hybrid.

I really don't wanna talk too much about it, but the ceiling in my fucking kitch collapsed while I was out of town... Turbo Negro is playing now.. This sucked and is gonna cost some $$$... Came home from camping, kind of expecting this to be the case, based on the new crack I woke up to on Friday morn... But, it has inspired me to maybe just have them rip the entire ceiling out of my house and vault that shit... Making lemonade you know? I've had like 4 contractors come out in the last couple of days and as long as my insurance company doesn't fuck me, we gonna be fine... I did have to clean all this shit up tho...

The worst part about being hung over on a Sunday having to shovel asbestos ridden insulation out of the room you cook food in, is that somewhere in the mix you may lose an antique porcelain monkey pepper shaker, still have the salt one tho... I'll never forget the way that the pepper one looked at me.. it was like all the sodium intake was immediately linked with the fact that my evolutionary precursor was delivering it to me... Like he had realized my evolutionary entity was further developed than his own... He haunts me in the night or Noche... Eventually, this must all boil down to the fact that my hands look crazy right now, and I'm entirely too high.

The most important thing to remember is that this blog is mostly a journal. I'm putting it together for a good cause, after I die, blind ass kids from Georgia, not that ATL one... or Midnight in the garden of good and evil one... The one where the General's dagger is from... Will have a chance to attend community college, It might be fair to come clean and say... click on our website... But we don't have one...

This Week or so in Photos...

Oh man, have I been busy, sorry for the lack of posting Russia. But the following are some of the things I did between being totally over worked!

I've decided that a true hetero gentleman who does not like cock, should always have fresh flowers in the cribbles, Deadpool likes flowers! That reminds me, I bought that orig. art at C2E2 Comic Con, missed Wizard World Comic Con this weekend :( It's cool though, I woulda just spent a bunch of cash on artwork...

Looking for some inspiration for new branding/identity set for a super high-end men's salon/barber shop... Not really finding it at this point. But I like the process of starting with pen and paper. Something I haven't done in a long while. Becoming too dependent on digital solutions can ultimately stunt creativity I believe...

Starting to make some headway...

Hmmm, so if I had to guess, I would say this was a Sativa Hybrid of Train Wreck / Maui Waui... If I had to guess... winkers.

...And then maybe a vape session with el Jefe...

I threw this up... something is very wrong with my body right now...

JK, jk... It's actually Saifun Bean threads, can be used as a healthier pasta alternative. I topped it with undiluted wasabi powder and Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce. Then pork of course, the "other" white meat.

 Feel my wrath swine.

Oh, good morning! Did my best to stonily clean up my buddies rooftop and kept thinking how glad I was not to be at Lollapalooza. 

Not the best beer I had this week, also not the worst... I did like the label a bit though... "Way to Grip it and Rip it!" playing Tiger Woods golf, still trying to get back into video games...

Bacon wrapped chicken with Mae Ploy and Co-Op jalepeno hot sauce, fingerling potatoes and ponzu sauce.

I can't stop taking these delicious little green and yellow pills, Nootropics are for real. I feel sharper and more lethal than I have in a long while. Been hitting Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu a few nights a week. Just this morning, I was hung over as shit and forced myself into a 90 minute workout of shadow boxing, kettle bells and pull-ups... While I was watching a documentary about Bobby Kennedy! 

Get ONNIT bitches!!!!!!

Okay, that's my update. I'm freelancing onsite in the morning and continuing to kick life in the dick (on 5 hours)! The CDS5K team will be spending a week at the Santa Monica beach side office in less than a month! Stay tuned, it's gonna get radical!

I Found this in my Mailbox!

Just around the time I was begining to worry as to whether or not I would be receiving my Gentleman of the Road  tickets... I found theses in a loose nondescript envelope in my mailbox!

I can't help but super appreciate the effort they are putting into this festival.

The "Passport" also contains your reflective 3D venue ticket...

I'm pretty excited, camping will also be part of this event. I really don't know too much about any of the bands except Gogol Bordello who I am definitely a fan of. But that's about it... I just nerded out about these tickets pretty hard and I thought you (the internet) should see it and nerd on it too.

Comic Book Wednesday! No. 1

After a month or so of severely slacking on keeping up with my comic book collection, I hit it pretty hard today. I asked if they had worked any of DC's New 52 into trades yet, they did! Plus There was this amazing new book from Anthony Bourdain and Vertigo Comics called "Get Jiro!" The book is pretty great! And it's just another example of how actually BA Bourdain actually is... See video posted below from Comic Con 2012 SD, Chicago's Comic Con is right around the corner, time to buy some more comic art!... The interviewer may or may not rub me the wrong way a little, but damn is this book fun!!! And Bourdain, how much can you continue to imrpress!? Well done good sir... Well done...

Cell Phone Picture Activity Corner No.1

First Vaporizer session, word to the wise, one full balloon will blast you into a black hole of blastedness. How do I know? Allegedly it took us an extra 2 hours to get to dinner. Which was fucking delicious: Pork Belly, Quail, Fried Pituitary Glands, Bone Marrow, Soft Shell Crab... Oh and Meatballs. I was a hungry little guy... I wonder why...?

DeadPool VG Trailer...

Here is a trailer for some new DEADPOOL video game... I dunno, I can't get into them. I think I'm too old. Not too long ago, I went all in on getting XBOXed up. It was pretty funny though, because the first Best Buy Girl Nerd (or, BBGN) I asked was pushing a PS3 on me... Which, what do I care? Just tell me which one is better and I can start killing things already! BBGN #1 got boxed off by a much larger and agressive BBGN #2... Who plainly said, "PS3 is for pussies dude, don't listen to this twat, you want an XBOX 360". Done! You've convinced me BBGN #2, I'll take it, along with whatever else ended up costing me close to $700.00! Now, I basically use it exclusively for Netflix and Hulu and Shit. What a waste... But you know what? I'm committing to it tonight! I'm going to play this Left 4 Dead zombie game. To be honest, I've almost been too afraid to play it. But I'm not bitching out tonight. I'm killing zombies.
