William Forsythe has been one of my favorite actors since I first saw Out For Justice as a kid. Now he's playing Manny Horvitz on Boardwalk Empire and I'm hooked.

Meat Loaf Mondays! Pt.3

2011-05-16T05:00:00.001-07:00

Another Meat Loaf Monday.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Friday the 13th.

2011-05-13T05:00:00.000-07:00

12 hours later...

2011-05-11T05:00:00.000-07:00

That's a 3 pound chuck roast from the Beef Palace, carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, and a Liptons onion soup mix packet. 12 hours on low in the Croc Pot.

Finally...

2011-05-10T05:00:00.000-07:00

Drivin' back from visiting grandma at the hospital I looked down just in time to see me turn 91,000 in my 1967 VW. Dig it.

Meat Loaf Mondays! Pt.2

2011-05-09T05:00:00.000-07:00

One of the best breakup songs of all time. Meat is explaining to this broad that it doesn't matter if she cries all night, it won't change how he feels. He's given all that he has, and she's turned cold. By the end, he reveals that he too went through the same treatment long ago with his first love. You can't beat these lines...

"You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach

You'll never drill for oil on a city street

I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks

But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of

a Cracker Jack box."

"I want you.

I need you.

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you.

Now don't be sad, cause two out of three ain't bad."

Frosty Fridays!

Who 'sama?

2011-05-03T05:00:00.000-07:00

For some reason the TV news stations were spelling Osama's name "Usama". When did we start spelling Osama with a U? Even google corrects Usama back to Osama. Is it because the only letters differentiating between Obama and Osama is "BS"?

Who the fuck is Usama?

Anyways, the troops should be home any day now...

Meat Loaf Mondays!

2011-05-02T06:00:00.000-07:00

I'm kicking off the month of May with my dedication to Meat Loaf Aday. If you've never given his music or lyrics any time, you're lacking in life's magic. His songs are funny, groovy, evil, sexy, and sometimes borderline pornographic...the way rock n' roll should be. Sayin' it, without actually sayin' it. And for a large fella, he's got energy that makes Chris Farley seem dead.

So I'm starting the first off with Paradise By The Dashboard Light. A song about a teenage boy that's parked in a car with the prettiest girl in school. Things are going good until she wants him to promise his entire life to her before she lets him hit a home run. I won't spoil the ending. It's perfect.

Could be worse.

Summer is coming!

2011-04-28T17:30:00.000-07:00

Just got back from the river. We got a good group going.

They's mostly out...

Pissed on!

2011-03-21T15:07:00.000-07:00

Checked out some weekend boat races. Highlight of the day was watching this dog piss on this lady. Nobody saw but us. I couldn't bring myself to tell her.

2011-01-28T20:23:00.000-08:00

Picked this up yesterday off the used rack at Harbour. A super classic Yater Spoon shaped by Renny Yater!

Today, I bought a fin for the new board at Thalia Surf Shop down in Laguna. Thalia recently caught some heat for celebrating MLK day by offering a 20% discount on all black colored items in the store. I showed my support of their sense of humor by paying full price on a new black fin.

Biiingo!

2011-01-24T06:00:00.000-08:00

Somewhere on the Pacific in the cruise ship's theater, I sat with hundreds of others playing 4 games of Bingo. Game 2, I won. $400 bucks split with one other winner. This photo is of the final "blackout" game which payed $3,500. I was ONE away from the prize when some old lady stood up and screamed "BINGO!". For kicks, they called out what the next ball was, "O 61".

I challenge Larry David.

If you have 25 minutes, Max discusses Monsanto(genetically engineered seeds) and then interviews James Kunstler.

If you know what movie my super hi-fi hi-res hi-def I'm another one of those graphic designers Torsville banner came from, then you know where to find one of Britt Ekland's most swingin' performances.

Nazi Beach Party!

2011-01-10T22:29:00.000-08:00

Pacific System Homes Surfboards was the first surfboard company and this was their groovy logo until 1940. This one was at Doheny in November. I'm not sure what they're worth but I overheard a fella talkin' about only a few are known to be around and one sold for over 25 grand. But there may be some bootleg versions out there. Eyes peeled.

It's a Boy and Girl!

2011-01-06T15:10:00.000-08:00

Just before the new year , two of my best bros had their seed sprout! Here's to Sawyer and Lillian! I'm pretty sure both arrived within 24 hours of each other too. Congratulations to Ryan, Emily, Ray and Amy!

As Sawyer's uncle, I promise to teach him about things like strip clubs, porn and whores.

As Lillian's uncle, I promise to keep her away from things like strip clubs, porn and whores.

Splatterhouse

2010-12-30T06:00:00.001-08:00

I don't know a damn thing nor do I care about today's video games. My gaming days ended around 1991 with Turbo Grafx 16 and Splatterhouse, the first with a Parental Advisory sticker. While you and Mario were swimmin' through the shitpipes collecting pennies, I was kicking ass in an evil fucking nightmare.

Nice Beaver.

Hawaiian Breakfast Jew

2010-09-23T14:29:00.000-07:00

My new morning brew. The Hawaiian Breakfast Jew.

What you'll need:
Hebrew National Hot Dogs(original, not reduced fat)
Large Eggs
Buns
Shredded cheese
Butter
Salt n' Pepper

Grill(bbq) hotdog or fry in pan with butter. Fry egg in butter until over medium. Salt n' pepper egg while in pan after the flip. Open hotdog bun and place in buttery pan until golden brown on outside. Once cooked, place dog on top of egg in bun and add cheese. Serve with rice, grapes and pineapple.

For a "Guilty" Hawaiian Breakfast Jew, wrap dog in bacon. Enjoy!

I don't remember when I laughed so hard. This llama had me rolling! At one point a mexican told the llama that he needed to brush his teeth. Then, I swear I read the llama's lips as he mouthed back at the mexican, "Llamas don't brush their teeth. You need to wash your entire family."

Fire Academy. Me and my cousin Collin. First two volunteers through the confined space maze. This photo was taken in late Jan/early Feb. I don't even have a subtle smirk right now. When I get out of here in April, brace for impact. Need a little time off for bad behavior.
