Whos Watching.....


When i first saw all the hype for the watchmen i was really excited, i had heard of the graphic novel months before any of the buzz for the movie started and i was really interested in it, never got a chance to pick it up and really wanted to before i saw the movie, i hate to be a poser, but now that i have actually seen the movie, its sad to say but i think i would have much rather read the book. The action was very stale, people were getting blown up and somehow they managed to make that boring. It was very long, it seemed like they tried to explain every action that anyone made, and they brought up a lot of things that didn't really make sense to talk about, all in all i probably give it a 2 out of 5 only because the girl kept her boots on during the sex scene that was hilarious.

Mobile Misadventures 2

This week our adventure starts on a tuesday. Luckily i didnt screw up on the upload part and have all the pics, should have taken more, but the beggining of everything is always trial and error, ENJOY

TUESDAY
I decided to take a personal day tuesday, work on some personal projects(i woke up late, didnt feel like going) Later on alex calls me and just says "come over were going on an adventure, Im not one to turn down an adventure so i agreed to go, I get there and her and tim were just chillen waiting for me. She informs me that were going to the hoover dam, i had never been so i was pretty hyped, We popped some loratabs and we were on our way haha
Photobucket
to be honest it looks a little more like a jail then a dam.
Photobucket
If you look at the tan line thats where the water USED to be, global warming son.
Afterward we were heading out to get some pizza from a place tim claimed was, the greatest pizza ever, so i was pretty interested in trying it, then gladys called and we decided to go for sushi. I was pretty skeptical at first cause im not a big fish fan but they assured me it was good.

Photobucket
We came to this place sushi twister, akward name if you ask me
Photobucket
somehow alexs knows all the hotspots for lots of food for little prices, all that food was 8 bucks.
Photobucket
Tim having trouble with chopsticks
Photobucket
alex
Photobucket
gladys(shes such a hipster, we all got chicken and she got some weird crap, and begged for eel sauce)
We all ate and conversated for a while about how alex doesnt watch chapelle show, and how weird that was because chapelle is hilarious, then we were on our way. Gladys went home and me alex and tim went to lake las vegas, its kind of like a victoria gardens type of place, or like an old town pasadena except without all the people and with a lake hahaha. I would have pics of that to show, but it was dark and as you may know a camera phone with no flash doesnt work so good in the dark. Tim had to go home so me and alex hung out for a while till her dad came in and told her to kick me out....and he was just that subtle too hahah. We went back to my house and talked some shit about reality tv as usual then decided to get some sonic (this was hours after sushi twister)
Photobucket
Chili cheese tots from sonic, BOMB.com hahaha
She had work the next day so we called it a night after a little more tv watching.

FRIDAY
I was expecting one of my friends to come thru on some money that was owed and i had planned to use that to go out that night, as always relying on people is unrelyable, so alex came over and brought Eagle vs Shark, its sort of a eurotrash version of napolean dynomite, but its pretty hilarious. We got hungry around midnight so we went to get something to eat.
Photobucket
we decided on mcdonalds, and happy meals hahahaha
Photobucket
she was soo hyped on that stupid toy
after dinner we chilled for a while then just called it a night, alex had to work again the next day.

SATURDAY
As usual i went on my saturday excursion with my brother in law and my neice to take pictures for his photo class and to run errands, our first stop was the comic shop where i picked up the new punisher series which is really good. And saw a few other cool things.
Photobucket
This freddy mercury action figure is fucking dope.
We went back to the yard from last week cause my brother in law had to re take some pictures of the walls.
Photobucket
apparently somebody wants beef, they capped my sticker, and the other one i had on a pole they ripped it down and caught a tag where it was. Like the terminator ILL BE BACK to show them whats up. Later alex hit me up about her friends birthday party, which sounded pretty cool, more new people to meet and free drinks. WARNING: the following pictures are blurry but so is the rest of the night.
Photobucket
This is the dude palace, pool table fully stocked bar, huge tv WITH karaoke hahaha
Photobucket
I had my arm around tim and we were singing i was pretty drunk by this point
Photobucket
I threw cake on her face hahaha, but then she did it back to me, and then i bitched about how she got it on my sweater.
Photobucket
had to clean the cake off
Photobucket
alex dropped a deuce hahahaha
Photobucket
Me and tim chugged a beer together
Photobucket
we were in search of good music, they didnt have any ramones, we were dissapointed
Photobucket
we got other people to sing too hahahaha
Photobucket
By this time i think i had had a bit too much to drink, I wasnt feeling very good at all, I dont think jager shots, budlight, and somehow a few whip its of whip cream, didnt mix together well together and i proceeded to pray to the porcelen god.
Photobucket
This was moments after puking my guts out
Alex and i had our fill of alcohol and such so we decided to hit the road and try to sober the fuck up, she had been ranting and raving about this place called rainbow that has good breakfast for two bucks, i was allover that.
Photobucket
best 2 bucks i ever spent.
I was feeling pretty shitty still, but a lot more sober so i decided to head home and try and get some sleep.

SUNDAY
I woke up sunday not feeling very good at all, alex called me and told me if i wanted to get something to eat, i figured i should probably put something in my stomach other then leftover alcohol. We went to LL a hawain bbq place
Photobucket
another one of the many super cheap places with huge servings of food.
Photobucket
morning after(still in the same clothes hahaha)
after eating she had stuff to do and i just still felt pretty shitty, so i went home, but got lost and almost ended up going all the way to the hoover dam again, i finally made it home and my good friend and clam jammer who i will call "Big Papi" informed me that he was going to be on his fire crotched friends internet radio show so being the good friend that i am i tuned in and was quite entertained. The topic for the day was cartoons who i happen to be a very big fan of, so i went on aim and talked back and forth about where they were wrong and gave my two cents on the subjects
Photobucket
me listening to the show at my work station
other then that the day was pretty uninteresting, Stay tuned for more misadventures to come.

Mobile Misadventures 1

This is take one, hopefully it works out, this was just my weekend for now, i had more pics but i screwed up while uploading and ended up deleting some that i wanted hahaha, enjoy.
FRIDAY
Photobucket
My journey started off in the streets of downtown LV at an event they have every first friday of the month aptly titled "first friday" haha with my new friend Alex and her friends. Its kind of like the arts walk in LA or Riverside, theres alot of street vendors, they have a gallery full of art for everyone to see which is pretty cool.
Photobucket
During our walk through the gallery there were these paintings that looked like preschool art, and my first thoughts were "people actually buy this crap" then i saw that it actually was made by a kid and felt a little dumb. we left the gallery and wondered the streets for a bit, after about an hour we had seen all there was to see so decided to get something to eat.
Photobucket
Left lindsey Right Alex
Photobucket
Gladys
We ended up down the street at a place called pepes tacos, i got to know Alex and her friends a bit better, especially cause i was high, Gladys and Lindsey were planning to head to a bar, and i seemed to be the only one without a fake id, and underage. So they left and we continued waiting for our food....which ended up taking like 40 mins, i think they forgot about us. It got later and we got bored so we headed back to my house to watch a movie, we got high and ended up forgetting about the movie and just spent most of the night talking shit about reality tv, it was about 3am and i had to take alex home, which sucked because she lives really far. On my way back i got lost several times and had to call her at leas 9 times hahaha that was friday.
SATURDAY
My day started off with my brother in law asking for a ride to the mall since my sister has school on saturdays and his truck only seats 2, plus its nice to get out of the house and see what this place has to offer. So me him and my neice piled in my car and headed to the mall so that he could get pictures of peoples hair for his photo project.
Photobucket
This particular mall has fashion shows like disney has parades, every hour or so, and we had got there just in time, the stage comes out of no where which i thought was pretty cool, i had better pictures of it coming up but got deleted, we cruised around the mall for a while, which is a pretty high end mall with some clean ass stores and i came across these.
Photobucket
These are sick, simple as that. We left the mall and were in search of comics,On the way there we found a pretty sick little yard.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
I pasted up some stickers of my own
Photobucket
Photobucket
i put up a bunch more but like a dumbass i deleted the flicks, after we checked out the yard we continued on our hunt for comics, the store that we usually like to go to decided to close 15 mins early so we were off to the next.
Photobucket we came up on this place which some people would say "wow thats alot of comics" but if you really read comics, this place didnt have shit.
Photobucket
I thumbed through some of my favorites to see if they had any back issues i need, no luck, my brother in law got what he needed and i picked up a last one i needed for one of my series, after that we headed home. A while later Alex came over and we try to find something to do, after about an hour of calls and nothing going on we decided to just stay in, we headed to my car and smoked a few bowls. When we came back in we watched the finally of ABDC
Photobucket
startling upset, fly kicks should have won, hahahaha.
Photobucket
we ate a bunch of M&M's, and when our container was empty we talked about how good soft served and M&M's would be, and i reminded alex how she owed me ice cream from getting us lost the night before, so we got in her car and headed to sonic.
Photobucket
jr candy sundaes are the best, too bad i had to pay even though SHE owed ME! hahaahah. We got back home and chilled for a while watching tv, then clerks came on, it was late as fuck and we were both too high to even stay awake so alex went home and that was saturday.
SUNDAY
I started my day the greatest way possible, wake and bake sesh while everyone else was at the outlets.Photobucket
I didnt do shit for a few hours, then Alex called me up to see if i wanted to go over and hang out,
Photobucket
we chilled and talked shit about reality shows again, and tried to think of something to do, we couldnt think of anything so we went to the local record shop, we looked around to see if there was anything good, Alex ended up grabbing spun, i had never seen it so i was pretty psyched. On the way back home i called in my ice cream win and making her pay, so we stopped at mcdonalds and got some hot fudge sundays
Photobucket
While we were chillen i noticed her dog was acting hella weird and just scratching at everything, i asked what was up and i guess the dog went blind because of kanine diabetes or something, nicest dog i ever met though.
Photobucket
we watched spun, which was a pretty crazy ass movie, i met Alex's sister, a bit younger but also very cool. The movie ended and we chilled for a while longer.
Photobucket
We watched Chelsey lately and talked about how jews have big boobs and big noses, then made fun of chewy for a while, it was almost 2 so i decided to head home, on the way i missed my exit and had to cruise around the strip trying to get back to the freeway, i got home around 230 and just crashed. That was my weekend, expect more mobile misadventures to come.

Pedal

As i recently became very interested in the fixed gear bike scene, i started to look into fixie vids to see what they had to offer, a while back i came upon a movie called pedal. Its all about New York bike messengers. Watching this video made me gain so much respect for these guys and gals and what they do, NYC has crazy weather and these people are out there day after day, in the hottest of days to the coldest of blizzards for meager wages, if you, like me are into fixies or good movies, you should definately check this out, it will change your life or at least your perspective on somethings, its wonderfully put together and is filmed guerrilla style mostly by a guy on a skateboard and has a great soundtrack by Bronx Monx. Its by director Peter Sutherland, who also co-directed a movie called Stoked which some of you might be familiar with, about the 80s skateboarding scene and the rise and fall of Mark "gator" Rogowski. I love this movie so much id like everyone to see it so here it is. enjoy

its about an hour but very worth it.
