| Date: 08.15.2009 Category: Pictures Title: Skate Ramp The other day (good nonspecific way of giving a time frame where no one will know how long it took you to update the site) I looked out back and saw my son skating. This is nothing new but this time he had taken 2 old lawn chairs and a sheet of masonite and made a launch ramp. He was killing it.
He then decided that was not a challenge enough for him so he stuck an empty water bottle on top of the upright lawn chair. Let's just say that he met his match.
So with seeing him bust that, I got a great idea (and one that allowed me to live back in my youth for a while). The next weekend we went to Home Depot for a sheet of 3/4" Ply, 5/16" Ply, 6 2X4's, Sheet of Masonite and Screws. Let the project begin.
After the ramp was complete, Picers was boomin' with excitement, but it took a little getting used to because it was over twice as tall as his makeshift launch ramp.
But after a half dozen botched runs, once again, and to greater heights, he started to kill it again.
Kick ass stuff!
Date: 02.10.2009 Category: Pictures Title: Death of Sexy So I was trying to message an old friend on MySpace and I was having an issue. It wouldn't accept a message from me because her profile was set to private and to don't accept friend requests from "bands". Since I have a music MySpace, it considered me a band trying to solicit. Well, when you are trying to contact someone and the screen comes up to tell you that your message did not go through, there is a section that say's "Check out these people that you may find interesting". Like if you cannot contact your friend, you can just replace them on the fly. That is when I saw what I call the "MySpace" pose. That is a photo taken by the person in the picture by holding their arm out and taking a self portrait while opening your eyes wide and pouting in a mistakenly sexy way. This is what ever single one of her pics looked like.
Can someone... anyone... tell me how this became the face of sexy? What is the appeal? Does it conceal flaws? Is that really what turns on the younger generation? Have I lost all touch of 'sexy'? I will go on record as saying it just looks plain f'n stupid. Old out-of-touch man signing off!
Date: 01.12.2009 Category: Pictures Title: Evil Kids Right after Christmas my son and I went down to Austin to kick it with my friend Rob. And I must say it was one of the best times ever. Rob was great at taking us around and showing us all the cool stuff to see, all the great places to eat and all the cool shops. It was at one of these shops that I found this picture of evil. It was at a shop called Unusual Object and it lived up to its name. They had every creepy odd and end from skulls to mannequins to 1956 bingo cards to a school lady's restroom key. Toward the back of the store that was a whole bin of real old photographs. This intrigued me so I began looking through it. It wasn't long until I stumble upon this picture...  Look at them... that's right... LOOK AT THEM. Feel the evil power they hold. See how the one in the center is the leader all in black and his sister is standing proudly by his side. The baby, not yet able to cary out his brothers evil schemes, is being held by the only child that looks like she has doubts when following her brother but is too scared to say anything. She holds the baby, obscuring her face in shame, but also seems like she is trying to protect her baby sister from the life of killing that she now partakes in. I would also like the speak of the strange and dark occurrences that have began to happen since bringing the picture home... I would like to, but can't. Because there aren't any. Oh well. |
