The Profound: Shitstorm

I was just forced to watch the worst movie I've ever laid eyes on.... "Motherhood" with Uma Thurman. Just another movie in a long line of women bitching about how hard it is to have children and how hard it is to be a stay at home mom even though thats all they want. Uma Thurman is the biggest bitch on the planet who attempts to cheat on and leave her husband because she has no interest in ever again looking good or trying at all anymore. She bitches about how hard it is raising a kid in the city she refuses to leave... the entire movie she is just bitching... what a dumb movie and a dumb bitch. It really resonates that double standard about giving your wife the children she always wanted and then her hating you for it and being upset that you have the job supporting her. She acts terribly in it. It has no plot and looking up the fact that it made $131 in its opening weekend makes me sooooooo excited. Please do not watch this movie! Or ever think Uma is cool (despite how much Quentin wants to bang her and the good roles she has acquired through that.)


I apologize that my first post is so negative but my girlfriend thought it was a good movie and ive never envied the blind and the deaf more....

There are so many good movies out there right now. Not this one.

Vincent out!

This is one of my favorite portraits. I would love to get it printed one of these days. Hopefully soon. I remember browsing through images on google one summer a few years back and finding this particular piece. My computer has crashed a few times since that summer, and each time I am forced to reinstall my operating system I must start looking for my favorite files of art, and music, which I continually fail to back up.

I have recently saved all of my music, approximately thirteen gigabytes, to my boyfriend's external hard drive
. I have never know the identity of either the young Asian model featured in this portrait, or the photographer. I cannot remember where exactly I obtained this image from. Every time I search for this portrait on google I fail to locate it. I eventually realize that I have it hosted in an online photo-journal called photobucket, which is how I am able to continuously resolve this unyielding google search dilemma. This makes it much more difficult for me to be capable of owning a print. I am hoping that if I take a j-peg file on my flash drive to a printing shop they will be able to make a print. I have yet to investigate this option. If I cannot get a print made this way, I may consider posting an ad in craigslist. Really, I would just like to buy one from the photographer, or surviving relatives.

In any event there are many pieces I plan to collect over the next few years. I adore James Jean's painting, the Maze, as well as several other paintings and portraits by that artist. I do appreciate Ray Caesar's work as well. Some more than others. I especially like Caesar's Metatron, 2008, and day break, also 2008. Both pieces can be seen by following the following link: http://www.raycaesar.com/gallery/2008

UFO...identified


Apparently I tell fake news...

Members of the Denver Broncos Thunderstorm skydiving team demonstrate a pyrotechnic show skydive above Vance Brand Municipal Airport in Longmont around 6 pm Tuesday. The Longmont Police Department received about a dozen calls from people reporting strange lights near the airport Tuesday night, but the lights turned out to be pyrotechnics attached to the skydivers, who were demonstrating the technique for a Denver television station. The team jumped into Invesco Field before the Broncos game Monday night.

Animal Collective = Awesomeness


This was our ride to the show. We were told that it was the same bus used in the move "Stripes". After a close examination I do believe it is the same type of bus, but there are some major differences. In short, I believe we were had. In any case it was an awesome time.



Westword did a follow up blog on the show. Read it here!

Sobriety

After developing and maintaining an unhealthy alcohol habit for about 7 years, I haven't had a drink in almost 3 weeks now. On the enlightening night that brought this on the last thing I remember is covering one of my eyes so the blur on stage turned into a comedian. What I don't remember: Knocking over drinks, getting kicked out for yelling incoherently, throwing up in the car, and ultimately pissing the bed. To remind my self how I need to take a break and return to the drink when I can do it without needing a pint of whiskey and a twelve pack for a quiet night in, heres some absolutely terrible poetry I scribbled down black out drunk and found today:

Party

I expunged a fart
Unholy and terrible
I hadn't shit myself
But each of three wipes showed brown.

A glance in the mirror
Back to the party
My ideas about ugliness and pointlessness
reinforced with my comparitive potential.
I made many laugh
But none seek my company.
If these are parties, I
Suppose I prefer them to funerals.



Now reading: Journey to the End of the Night by Celine (phenomenal)
Now listening: Mastodon-Crack the Skye (groovy)
Looking forward to: Tournament of Death VIII June 6 (GONNA BE A MASSACRE!!!)

APB: Stolen Bike


Some asshole stole my wheels tonight. If you see anyone on my Trek, you know what you have to do. A reward will be paid in the amount of 10 packs of ramen for its safe return.

Donations to my new bike fund can be directed through my paypal account. Feel free to contact me for further information on this exciting once in a lifetime opportunity.

A social safety net...literally


The Bridge is a documentary that tells the story of the 24 people who committed suicide off The Golden Gate Bridge in 2004. There are many movies that I watch and forget very soon after. The Bridge is not one of those movies.

A 'friend' of mine just got back from San Fransisco and she took some pictures of the bridge. Apparently, they have the phones and signs you see in the pictures below for anyone thinking of taking the eternal plunge.

I just read the Golden Gate's wiki page and apparently a plastic-covered stainless-steel net will be installed below the bridge as a suicide deterrent. The net will extend 18 feet on either side of the bridge and is expected to cost $40–50 million to complete. I guess this means a few more people will be considering a trip Niagara Falls when planning their next suicide.

AP doesn't believe in fairies


The douches at the Associated Press have their panties in a bunch over Shepard Fairey's appropriation of the photo used for his well known hope poster. I guess I would be bitter too if I was a talentless piece of shit and someone took my photo and made an icon out of it. The local news station covered the story and you can read more here.

Obama didn't complain about the use of the photo and he actually thanked Shepard for the poster. Maybe Shepard should ask him to pick up his attorney fee.

I just lizzed my pants...

I am a fan of 30 Rock. On one of the last episodes, Liz Lemon made up a word. Ironically enough the term she made up was "liz"...a combo of laugh and whiz. I watched the show as it aired, and since I was at the computer I checked to see if it was in the urban dictionary. It wasn't at the time. I just checked. Sure enough "lizzed" and "lizzing" now have definitions. But no one bothered to define just "liz".

Maybe it's because "liz" already has better definitions. My favorite is this one.

1. a disease which can cause you to replicate the child of joan rivers and shrek.

I can think of a dick whose parents might have had that one...

World Series of Beer Pong?

Yeah, there is. And you can even buy an official table that folds up into a briefcase for an easy $120.

There's a $50,000 grand prize for the WSOBP. I'm thinking I should quit my day job. Well, wait a minute. In any case, I would have to say that Beer Pong was my second major in college. It would only make sense that this is my life calling.

And they're sponsored by PBR. Jah bless America!

Stereotyperider...maybe not so dead.

Well, Stereotyperider just posted an announcement stating that they will be playing in Denver on June 19th. I like to think that maybe my epitaph had something to do with this resurrection. No mention of a venue, but I'll make sure they play in my backyard if it comes down to it.

You other sponges don't want none!

Spongebob, Sir-Mix-A-lot, and the King have teamed for notably their best commercial appearance. Though parents everywhere are writing Nick to take it off the air. Check out the entire video below.

Stereotyperider Dies at Age 9


God damn't. What pisses me off most is that we missed their last scheduled show in Denver. But it would be more correct if I said 'they' missed their last show in Denver. It always seems that travels incur accidents, it just happened to be the trailer that time. Their last show will be at The Launchpad in Albuquerque on Saturday the 25th with some guys filling in. At this point, the only thing to look forward to is new projects. I can only hope their transitions will be as good as the one from Mandingo to Stereotyperider. You can read their last blog here.

The Titan Courageous is Back

The Titan Courageous just regrouped. They're playing at the Bluebird Thursday at 8:00pm. I will try to be there, if my finances agree. They're on the space if you guys want to hear their sound...kinda floyd and volta ish, but the lead singer has a sound of his own. This guy practices his voice as he mops floors and scrubs toilets, and I have a lot of respect for that.

My grandmother thinks they rock and I agree.
