No really, you shouldn't have.

I wanted to say thanx to everyone for probably my best year ever! I know it's not the first of the year but that's how I roll. I have a lot of interesting projects and goals to look forward this year. I will have a year end wrap up in the next few days with a ton of pictures but for now I would like to leave you with this clue of what's to come in the near future.


. Ooooooh the suspense!!

It's a struggle but we do it...

Exciting news! Recently I got asked to join one of my favorite bands! They're called None More Black. I've been friends with the guys in the band for a long while now and I'm super happy to know I can be a part of their band now. This year is going to be insane. We have our first official show on March 7th for the Harvest of Hope Fest in St. Augustine, FL. Should be an amazing show. I'm gonna get 2009 in a headlock and pile drive that bitch in to the ground, then I'm gonna celebrate by eating a burrito.

The video is off from the audio. Eh, you get the point.

SLAM DUNK!!!

Frankenpussy

The other day I was walking through the house and I noticed a trail of blood and the first thing that came to my mind is that my mom's dog "Gigi" got it's period and it was dripping. Ew! Then I found the dog and after close examination I realized that it wasn't coming from there. The next thing that popped in my head was my mom or dad had accidently cut themself and went to the hospital. This worried me a little because they are both diabetic. I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't call me or my sister though. I looked at the chair and blood was still dripping from it. I started to get more worried and happened to glance at their cat (Manolo). The side of it's face was super swollen and it couldn't open it's eye. I laughed and said you look like the Toxic Avenger! After I got done making fun of it I realized there was a trail of blood leading to the cat. I assumed it ate my parents but that wasn't the case at all. It had an abscess in it's face from getting in a fight with another cat/dog/wolf/pterodactyl. This means that it was infected and filling with blood and pus. I brought it to the vet and they cut the abscess open and stuck a damn tube in it's head. A FUCKING TUBE MAN!!!
Look at this Frankestein creature and don't feel sympathy. He get's in fights all the time!

You can't see the tube coming out the bottom of its jaw but it's gnarly. He looks like a Snork now.

I can't lie, I did feel bad but the cat was asking for it, and now we're paying for it. It's averaging out to around a thousand dollars for the vet bills after all that's said and done. I'm sure this doesn't surprise anyone that has a dog or cat.

Ninja Burrito Bandit

First off, sorry for the lack of blogs. It's been super hectic lately and to be quite honest, nothing crazy has happened lately. I promise good and crazy news is coming soon. I'll give you a hint: "AXE" me about it later. Ooooooooooohhhh.

Anyways, the other night it was freezing cold, it was 48 degrees. Ok, well that's cold for me. My buddy Ben AKA "Captain Party" (fellow Taco Bus enthusiast) wanted to ride mopeds with me around midnight. Why you ask? We're dumb. So I'm suiting up and getting my jacket, gloves, bandana (keeps the snot from going everywhere, see "Dumb and Dumber", you'll understand) and my beanie on. I looked like a poor ninja ready to rob a bank. As I get ready to leave I look outside the back and the whole backyard is glowing orange. The immediate thoughts that ran through my head were could it be the moon? I knew the moon that night was the brightest of the year but why would it be orange!? Then I thought to myself, maybe my gay neighbors were having a rave? When they have parties they usually blast Mariah Carey (yes, they rule) but they don't usually have a laser light show going on. So I walked out to the backyard to feast my eyes on the raging beast!


I yelled "HOLY SHIT!!!!". I've never seen a fire this big up close. It was my neighbors greenhouse that was up in flames and it's only about 2 feet from my fence. I freaked out because what if that shit jumped over the fence and then I caught on fire and ended up looking like Fire Marshall Bill.

Luckily I was with Ben for a couple reasons. First off he just graduated Fire Academy to become a fire fighter and also because when I grabbed my iPhone I had cotton gloves on and my fingers wouldn't register on the screen and I looked like a dog digging a bone in the yard on my phone. For some reason I thought the harder I swish my fingers around the touch screen on my phone it would realize that it was an emergency and this shit was urgent. I became a mildly retarded baby. Ben grabbed his phone to call 911 and I ran over to my neighbors house to wake them up. Keep in mind I look like some crazy mexican terrorist. I might as well of been yielding a machete or some crazy stick. I'm knocking all hard on their door and yelling "wake up fuckers!". I then came to the realization that they are gonna shoot me or shit their pj's if they see me like this. I took off my beanie and scarf and realized that didn't look much better but whatever. So finally they wake up and I can see through their front window into the back and I'm just watching the greenhouse go up in flames. The dude opens the door and says "Oh my god, it's a fire!". In my head, the only things that keeps ringing is Really. Really!??! So then he says "thankyou" and my response was "No problem, NOW TAKE CARE OF THAT SHIT!". They start spraying the hose all over it and using the fire extinguisher and actually get the fire out before the Fire Dept. got there. Not too shabby fellas.
So, that was my night and it was pretty exciting.
Have fun cleaning it up!

Ride to live, live to eat.

I had an amazing day yesterday. My friend Ben AKA Captain Party drove to Sarasota to check out an 82 Vespa 100 sport he's had his eye on. I was pumped to check it out too so I rode out there with him. Ok, I have a confession. I really rode out there because I knew we would be passing the Taco Bus in Tampa on the way there. SO GOOOD!!!!
We finally arrived and saw the bike.

It looked beautiful and of course it didn't start. The guy tried starting a bunch but to no avail it didn't start. I was bummed for my friend and then after 10 min of trying to start it and replacing the spark plug the guy realized the killswitch was on. DOI!!!!! He flipped the kill switch and it started right up on the first kick. It rode great and Ben bought it.

Now for the real awesome part of the day. TACO BUS!!!! I can't get enough of this place! Our friends from Vertical Merch and Kiss Of Death Records joined us for some good eats at the bus. It was super nice hanging with them.
Bryon (owner of Kiss of Death and singer for New Bruises) rules. I saw him at Fest and he had a different hair style for every day. The first day he had a beard with long hair. The second day he had a gnarly southern looking mustache/mutton chop thing going on with a trucker hat on. Then the third day he was super clean shaven and had a short and sharp looking haircut. Well done!

Now eat that cake!

My buddies Eric the Red and Murray joined in too. Eric plays bass in New Bruises and also works at Vertical Merch. He usually handles most of my shirt and poster orders now. I've known him for a real long time and he's always been a rad dude.

Eric the Red is the guy with, well "red" hair who resembles a retarded turkey and Murray is the special looking man next to him. The colors on the umbrella in the back represent their personalities perfectly. They picked the table.

The Taco Bus is no joke, the best Mexican food I've had in Florida. The people working there also rule. The lady working the register sang to me. Not the best singing voice but it worked.

Ben also likes his Taco Bus. We don't mess around.

We rode back and also checked out a moped for our friend Quilty that he found on Craigslist.com. He said he had the money for it so we stopped to check it out on the way home and thought it ruled so we bought that too! I swear we're not made out of money, we just act like it. Now Quilty has a rad PUCH moped so we are officially a slow moving bad ass gang.

Today most of us decided to take a ride out to lunch and cruise the town. It couldn't of been better weather for it.

Unfortunately Q-bert (Quilty) couldn't ride with us today but we still took the streets over.


On a side note, I gave my moms new dog (Gigi) a six pack. It looked like it was getting a puppy belly so I "fixed the glitch".
