So…. About last night…

Posted: May 29th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Booze and Drugs | No Comments »

This morning afternoon was confusing as all hell for me, and I blame it all on last night. I woke up at 2:30pm thinking it could only be about 9am because naturally since I had a doctors appointment I’d wake up at a reasonable hour after a night of ungodly drinking, right? Wrong! When I saw the time I convinced that I had changed my clocks forward by 6 hours………. Why the fuck would I do that to myself? I had to open my laptop so that I finally realised & accepted that drunk self was not playing tricks on sober self, but rather, I was retarded and had simply slept in…

I blame it all on the Hennessy I was drinking, which I also learned does not go with PBR at all, or jager… or even red stripe… Then drunk self made it home, & apparently took off my clothes and made pizza (most likely in that order). After that I removed my laptop from the dock and took it in my room so I could apparently purchase a round trip ticket to Baltimore for the following morning, & watch The Wire – to prepare myself, naturally. So today, sober self ended up having a talk with drunk self and we’ve collectively decided to take a night off, hence the blogging coherently in the wee hours of the morning on a Saturday night. Sobriety: a novel concept.

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a strong recollection of ANY of the happenings of last night. I deduced the majority of last night by piecing together evidence throughout the house; pizza wrapper on the floor, clothes everywhere, laptop relocation, and some vague recollection of the words “Baltimore” & “airplane” being in the same thought = win/fail? I can’t decide. But, it’s not like I was drunk on the floor of some random bathroom in some random condo a city away from mine puking all over myself with my phone stuck to my face. But there’s always tomorrow!

Oh! And on the best note ever, we had the living room after party while listening to Das EFX and miggity made up our own viggity versions of the siggity wiggity song because bibbity boppity boo shabadoo doo thats how we do!


Bits of Wisdom…

I happen to know some very amusing people…

  • “My next relationship, we can only say nice things to each other in vague ridiculous song lyric quotes. It’ll be a short romance that’s for sure, but amusing while it lasts. We’ll break up with gangster rap lyrics.”
  • “Remeber that time we went on a Texas sized bender and we randomly showed up at your Aunts house? wtf….”
    “Yeah, that was Easter, and later that same night you told your grandmother what disco biscuits were… at the dinner table.”

Krink + Colors + Electro = This

Posted: May 21st, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graffiti, Music, Urban | No Comments »

Krink is fun! Neon is amazing! and the music is boppy & nerdy. I found myself bouncing around to it and then immediately wanting to go draw on things that do not belong to me ;)

Don’t Forget! National Draw Mohammad Day!

Posted: May 20th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: News | No Comments »

I’m assuming any moment now, an angry mob of Muslims are going to show up at my door and light me on fire and slowly dismember me or just stone me to some untimely death. On that note! Today is indeed the first annual draw Mohammad day!. And there seem to have been a large group of excited people who’ve spent all day with their crayons and scented markers to participate in pissing off an entire religion protecting their freedom of speech. While it’s completely legal under the First Ammendment, it’s clearly causing a shit storm around the world and that seems to be quite an accomplishment.

The pseudo campaign was lauched by cartoonist, Molly Norris, as a satirical response to the uproar and threats caused by South Parks recent Super Best Friends episode that depicted Mohammad (in a bear suit). This ultimately lead to international action, causing to Pakistan blocking facebook until the end of May, and simply causing a bunch of bullshit in and of itself.

Personally, I think managing to piss off an entire religion is a pretty impressive and in my head I’m trying to think of the next National Freedoom of Speach (let’s piss people off) day we could under take… any ideas!? Gimme!


Creative People: Just a little bit off, says science.

Posted: May 19th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: News, Science | No Comments »

I’ve always been under the impression that I’m absolutely bat-shit crazy, along with the people that I selectively and purposefully choose to surround myself with. We’re a creative bunch in every way possible by way of creating music, writing on things we don’t own, painting canvases and other things not meant to be painted (cats? oops), designing offensive websites (like this one), etc. etc. the list does go on. And now finally there is proof that my theory of self-insanity stands correct!

“Creativity is also linked to a slightly higher risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Certain psychological traits, such as the ability to make unusual pr bizarre associations are also shared by schizophrenics and healthy, highly creative people. And now the correlation between creativity and mental health has scientific backing.”

An article from ScienceDaily reports that the Swedish Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, have shown that Dopamine in highly creative people is strikingly similar to the Dopamine in persons with schizophrenia.

Screen Printing in a Nutshell

Posted: May 17th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Fashion, Urban | No Comments »

Screen Printing is fun! Or maybe I have a skewed sense of what I consider a good time…
The video shows the process of making a shirt from concept to completion in a few short minutes. It’s accompanied by some interesting music, but I highly recommend you listen to Doomtree – Drumsticks while you watch instead…
