Intro :

It's back! But not for good! What is the reason? I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day about my abilities of taking a good picture. Not great but good. I told her that I don't go out enough to have a quality entry. She told me "You're out right now! Go take a photo of a fucking building!" I was looking through my photos and decided that I have enough band photos to make a post. So here it is! Enjoy!

1. State Violence / State Control

San Francisco (2009)

Kept in line with truncheons

Rifle butts and truncheons

This is state control, this is state control

State control, state control, this is state control

Beaten up behind closed doors

Cracked and bruised ribs, bloody mouth

State control, state control, this is state control

One Day Something Funny Happened . . .

2008-10-28T08:11:49Z

"Roses Are Red / Sometimes Violets Are Blue."

Well, here is the "last" entry. I was looking back at the entries I have made throughout the years and were reading them and looking at the pictures and having a laugh. Why am I giving this up you ask? I think it has run it's course. It is a lot of work coming up with material and all that caption. I mean most of them I just rip off anyway. Only the people that know me on a personal level would get "it." Which are only a handful. There is nothing to really get. What you see and what you read is basically how I am or was living. Like I said as long as people find my entries entertaining and make their day a little brighter I know deep down inside in my heart I made a difference. I will just say that this is in an indefinite hiatus. The King Of Kings is giving up his throne, for now.

Also a friend of mine yelled at me saying "Do you have to take a picture of everything ? ! ? !" So that statement right there kind of hurt. Words that kill. Basically I took that statement to heart and analyzed it. This is what I came up with, some people like to have their space and privacy and not be documented. That is the conclusion I came up with. There is a time and a place. Now I am very careful and make sure that it's all right with if I am taking a photo of a live being. Human or animal or plant life. Respect.

Writer's Block: Pardon You, Mr. Nixon

2008-09-08T07:59:55Z

On September 8th, 1974, U.S. President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. What limits should there be, if any, on pardoning power? What makes a pardon legitimate to you?

Unknown Pleasures. Closer. Still.

If you are wondering where the update for the month of July is.

Wonder no more!

The photo above sums it up.

There is no update.

I apologize. Check back next month.

I N T R O :

Wow! Another month is over and the year is half way over. Where did it go? I have no clue. A lot happened in the month of June. There are plenty of pictures for you to look at. Caption is gonna be hella weak. Why? I just don't feel like coming up with witty descriptions. Oh well. Enjoy!

P I C T U R E S & C A P T I O N S :

+ S H O W S.

I.

The Detroit Cobras! They are amazing live! I like their "stuff" a lot! I bet they love Negative Approach like I do. Midwest Rules!

II.

Betrayed! Making their comeback at The Che Cafe. You know what is weird I could have sworn their first show was at the Knitting Factory. Am I right?

III.

(The) Rough Kids! They finally have some tracks up on their em-space. Hey! What happened to the other bass player? Happy Birthday to Ethan!

IV.

The Estranged! You know how "gothic" music had no kick until S A M H A I N came along? That is what I describe this band, Joy Division with a lot of kick!

V.

The Red Dons! They were amazing. Some of the songs are Regulation sounding. Very energetic! The guitarist/singer liked going into the crowd.

VI.

Ticket To Ride! They are a Beatles cover band. This was a nice treat. The best part about this? It is free! Go parks!

+ H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y S & C E L E B R A T I O N S.

I. Max's Birthday.

I have no clue how old Max is. All I know is that he is a nice human being. Drew on the other hand? Wine Time!

Nat got a new job @ a video game company. Just like that movie "Grandma's Boy." Amazing. Oh that's Sandra. She's pretty cool.

I do not drink but I do endorse "Drew Juice!" Why? The Lightning Bolt logo is a nice touch! Delicious? How should I know?

Jeff wearing the coolest band merch there is! A Beach Boys Wayfarer! I wish I own this!

Straight and (Gay) Drunks! They aren't really gay. I just felt like typing that. Legalize gay marriage! It's butt fucking time!

Let Love In? I have no clue what that means. I think it means wiener in the behind. Yes!

It's the birthday boy, Max! Socializing and what not. Drinking a Coke because he is cool like that.

Can someone please photoshop the Santa Cruz Screaming Hand in place of Jenn's hand? Right on!

Hey it's Des! Guess what? Where is my picture? I still don't have it! There is nothing to it! Get to it!

To end the night I decided to sit on Chrissie. The bar was full and there was no where to sit. I am comfy. Chrissie? No so much.

II. Jeff's Birthday.

Kyle and Jeff at La Monica's Pizza at Westwood. We kept the party small that we don't have to deal with a lot of people.

Bryan and I. I haven't seen him in such a long time. But he is one of my best friends. So it was cool that he came out and hung out. He rules.

Dee Dee Reese Ice Cream! We love this place. Cheap and delicious. They now have snow cones! Who doesn't love snow cones? Jerks? Yeah.

I have never seen Jon drink before. So this was a treat! More apple! Hold the tini please!

III. Kyle's Birthday.

A & W Seafood Restaurant is very good! You know what is even better? When it is paid for! Our parents rule!

Pat came back from Iraq. He was telling us a gnarly story of what he saw first hand. Not a pretty sight.

Brittany is eyeing something. I have no clue what. But I know it's something good. Like fried tofu. That Jon. Weirdo!

Madison came back from Australia. She saw Kangaroos! That is so awesome. She is so awesome. Except when we went to Pho and the beef sucked!

Whoa! My eyes were bugging out! Is that Adrienne? Yeah! She came to hang out and brought Jeremy along. He's such a cutie. I think I have gone gay. Damn!

IV. Bianca and Christopher's Graduation Get Together.

My nephew Evan. I think he was waiting for some chicken wings or something. Chicken Wings! Spicy!

Auntie Tina & Uncle Tony & my nephew Nolan. He is turning one year old this July. Swimming party!

Christopher is going to Northridge this fall. Best of luck to him. I wonder if he listens to Ska? I have no idea.

The boys. Is anyone missing? I don't think so. Yeah, there are more girl than boy grandchildren. Really?

I have no idea what Bianca is up to next year. But I know she wants a new camera and a Disneyland Season Pass.

+ O D D S & S O D S.

I.

Royal Rumble disc jockeying without turntables! Nic Vic making funny faces when I was taking pictures. Dick!

That is our cousin, Nick. He plays hockey in Alaska. He is home for the off season. He likes to ride his bike.

Oh man! This is the best picture I have ever seen. Richard Pryor being saved by butthole Christopher Reeves!

My Uncle was very upset that I ate these because they are for my Auntie. Whoops. But they were tasty!

I think Ally B. is now a lesbian. Checking out Lexi's sugar tits. Come down, lesbo!

For some reason Kyle loved Rolo this month. Rolo Tony Brown Town! Orange Back With A Bang on tap!

Ally C. also came out of the shadows to hang out. We were discussing the Metro Red Line and the movie Volcano. Oh the 90's.

Oh my God! This is such a gem! Look at the name! Ha ha. But Jenny and I didn't eat there. Why? It rocked too much!

So where can I purchase a time machine? Are you seeing what I am seeing? This is an amazing bill! Damn life!

"Hey! I don't have to work tomorrow! I am getting drunk!" - Lauren. Here is the result . . .

All Hail The Beer Dawn! Lauren is the queen of beers. Complete party mode!

You know what comes to mind about this? TWINS with Arnold and Danny! I love that movie!

Jenny and I checked out her roof top view. That is the 101 Freeway and parts of Los Angeles in the background.

You can kind of see the skyline of Los Angeles. It was hazy. The best/worst part? We got stuck on her roof! It sucked!

Emma is going back to her homeland of Sweden. That is where ABBA is from.

+ A M U S E M E N T P A R K U . S . A .

I. Six Flags Magic Mountain.

Anyone remember when this was the "ride of rides?" They even featured it on Encino Man! They are runnin The Vapor backwards!

X Version Two kinda X Version Suck! Except that they play "Enter Sandman" in the beginning of the ride!

Deja Vu! I was so scared when I first rode this back in October. But not anymore. I like how it goes backwards.

This is probably my favorite ride in Magic Mountain. These trams are made in Austria where our governor is from. You know The Governator?

II. Disneyland.

After procrastinating and deliberating for months John and I finally made it to Disneyland together!

How underrated is this ride? There is never any line for this! I wonder why? This ride clearly rules!

Pluto was hyping up the crowd. His M O S H moves were very crucial. Kevin Seconds said "Nah man. The M O S H is good!"

My buddy John all ways representing The Straight Edge! Good man!

Matt tried to jump in front of my pictures as often as he can. Like this for example.

Chilling out and staying out of the heat down at Main Street U.S.A. It was very hot that day.

The Crew being silly on our way out to go to California Adventure. California Uber Alles!

I am not very sure what this rock formation is. Is it a bear? Is it a wolf? Only Jesus would know.

How excited does Dan look about eating some ice cream? Swirly Ice Cream that is. Yum!

The Fun Time Crew! Back to Disneyland for another ride. Group picture!

Space Mountain! Matt and I locked arms because we are homo stupids like that.

+ S A N F R A N C I S C O

I.

On our way to board our jet. Madison is clearly excited about this trip. What is weird is that this is free and no one wanted to go.

Be very quiet. Kyle is sleeping. What was Madison reading? I know she brought a book of some sort.

Kyle was depositing a paycheck and were standing outside and I took a picture of this. Where is D.J. Tanner?

Stee had the day off from her flight attendant job so she decided to hang out with us.

This is the building where that "Port Of San Francisco" light is at. It's nice inside.

These trams or rail cars were pretty sweet. I want to ride one when I come back.

The infamous Cardiel Rail in Union Square. You should have seen how long this golden rail is! Massive!

Stee checking out my behind while trying on pants at the Ben Sherman store. Busted!

Kyle and Madison and Fisherman's Wharf and water and tug boat and Alcatraz.

Sea Lions! Seals? They smelled and made a lot of noise. And jumped a lot. Except for these ones. They were lazy.

I shouldn't joke about this but I think I am going to be a diabetic when I get old. Too late. I am old.

We are on our way to Alcatraz! I like the ferry that brings you there. It is very roomy and has nachos!

About to dock The Rock. I should have said about to rock The Rock like C.C.R. back in the day they did.

I was caught in action taking pictures of them and this is the result a few seconds later . . .

See! My camera cannot zoom because it is a piece of junk! Yeah-hey for eBay!

It is quite a hike to get to the main part of the tour. But it was well worth it. Exercise!

We finally made it. I am in one piece and I gave myself two thumbs up to show that I am okay and good looking.

Inside Alcatraz. I am sure that Madison knows when I am taking pictures. She's looking right at me.

This is were the prisoners worked out their guns. Guns meaning muscles. Sweet pecs! Killer bi-ceps!

Seriously how good or great is or was "Three Hits From Hell?" If you don't know you can go to Hell!

There was a prison riot and they dropped grenades inside this room. Ouch.

And you know it! I wish I had one of these personally. Kind of like the Old Givens household. Endless drinks!

The City and I. Alcatraz had a nice view of the whole city. This photo is weird. It has static of some sort.

Going back into the main part of the tour. This was overhead. American (Bad Ass Iron) Bald Eagle!

I am pretending I am learning something new and we all know I have A.D.H.D. No kidding!

If you don't get this picture you probably don't know me and what I like and that we are not friends. Sorry. No I am not!

A typewriter? Are you kidding me? No laptop. No computer. No microchips. The technology have advanced a lot!

I paid twenty five dollars for the tour and all I got was this lousy postcard which cost me money also. Rad.

Back on land and eating bagels. Stee left us to go on a date. Woo-ooo-ooo! How cute.

This was inside S.F.O. I wonder if these can really fly? Aviation, what a strange idea.

Killing time and drinking coffee waiting for our flight to board. We had a long day. Day Trips rule!

All things must come to an end and we are back in Burbank. When is the next trip?

O U T R O :

So far I am loving Summer. Especially when you spend it with people you cherish. I still have not met The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill.

I hope you enjoyed this entry. I sure had fun just putting it together.

Leave a comment or two. I love responding to them.

Thank you!

Oh! By the way how is your Summer so going?

xo.

Basically packed random things into envelopes and sent it to friends. Just like Cappo said "Try to give and feel good about the way you live!" I also got a new camera and named it "Darth Vader." I cut my hair. I couldn't stand it anymore with the heat wave we have had. I don't work that much anymore. I renew my Disneyland annual pass. Oh and one more thing, thanks to eBay for making / ruining my life!

Thank you to everyone that participated.

Make sure to leave a comment. I like responding to them.

Thank you for your precious time!

Summertime!

I Know What I Know.

2008-04-27T09:58:39Z

+ Intro.

I have no idea why I am updating. Another Religion. Another War. Another Update. Maybe it's because I need to exercise my mind. I mean I can do that by reading a book or being creative with acrylic paint. Or is it I just want to share some pictures with you. Yeah that's it. Enjoy!

+ Pictures & Captions.

Tattooed And Down For Life :

I. Dental Appointment.

Madison feeling the pain. Just another day at Spotlight Tattoo. Weird. I didn't get anything at all.

II. Mustache.

"Stay Clean" is Kyle's favorite Motorhead tune.

III. Trooper.

Adrienne giving herself a breast exam to check for lumps while Bryan works on her side.

No More Gigs :

I. Getting Reatard.

Jay Reatard played a secret show in Echo Park at a bowling alley. It was great. I got a free badge.

II. Words.

SubHumAns is still one of my favorite bands. I have been listening to this band since Jr. High. Seeing them live rules.

III. In The Studio.

So watch out for our EP coming out never. Side A : Quality Dumper. Side B : (I Just Wanna Play My) Rock Guitar.

Dogs Of War :

I. Nutrients.

In order to stay alive, Lauren must feast on little bitches blood.

II. Battle / Bottle.

This photo to me at least should be used on a Rough Kids demo / single / album. Just give me credit and or a t-shirt.

Go Get Drunk It's Party Time :

I. Dance Off / Pants Off.

Lauren showing her funky ass moves to Brittany. Did you know that Brittany was named after the main Chipette? Fact!

II. Call Rhonda.

People being slaves / sheep waiting in line for their drinks. What is this a Concentration Camp? Stop being so 20th Century! It's 2008!

III. Do Drink Don't Think.

Apparently double fisting drinks was so last year! Jenny gets a little help for a triple fist!

IV. Moonshine.

Remember that article Felix Von Havoc wrote about "Race?" That was hilarious! Brenna smuggles her own drink and denounces the Mormon faith.

V. Tall Cans / Thumbs Up.

It's my other cousin Kyle! This is my favorite picture I have taken lately. Why? Just look at it. So relaxed. Thumber in the Bummer.

Cro-Mags! Skin Heads! Hang Out! Now!

I. Veggie Tales.

We'll Have The Straight Edge And They Can Have The Rest. After all these years so many have fallen. Maybe it's just that they didn't give a fuck. Oh well.

II. Past & Present.

It's always nice to see people like Erin around. She don't hang around with the gang no more.

III. iStore.

What we like to do on Sundays, bother Kyle at work. I can't wait for the next Sunday hang out. I think we are going to Chicken Bowl. Delicious!

IV. S.L.U.G.

Marko Ramone and Jonnie Lightning. Look at that bowl hairstyle to be I am growing. A lot of people seem to like it. My Auntie Tina loves it.

V. Great Eats.

Jeff, Kyle and I went out to all you can eat sushi for an hour. Waitress = Bummed Out. We went to work. I think we are going to do this every month. Yum!

Random :

I. Paint!

I picked up a new hobby. Painting my own shirts! I am so much more Punk than you ever will or dream to be!

II. Serious.

If this record can laugh it will probably be laughing at me for purchasing it for $35.00!

+ Outro :

For some reason for the past few months prior to this I wasn't taking pictures. In fact I hated it. Or was it that I hated myself for a few months? But I am re-learning to like it again. Maybe it's because it's not the same camera and I barely hang out and I love sitting at home. But I am always down to do things with people. I just have to be into it and I always try to turn a bad situation to a fun situation no matter where I am at. Fun! Fun! Fun! Till the pigs come around!

Make sure to leave a comment. I like responding to them.

Thank you for your precious time!

I N T R O :

Hello! I have not updated in a while. Why? My laptop is full and I had to transfer files into an external hard drive and that took a while. Oh yeah, I was also very uninspired to do anything.

And hey maybe this goof ball won't be so lazy and will do his own update next time.

Perfect Example.

Intro:

The year is half over. Can you believe how time is passing us by? Let's check out what I did for the month of June in pictures and stories. You know the drill! Enjoy!

I. Bowling

Let it ride.

This is the serious side at the bowling alley. Money is involved. Dollar$.

No dinero.

This is the no money hustle side. That's J. Anderson throwing down in the background.

Bummed in.

Madison didn't pick up that spare so no jump for joy for her. It's cool, she got Kyle a Wii.

Hail The New Dawn.

It's a dawning of a new era! My high score is 206! I don't think this will ever be seen again.

II. Disneyland.

Main Street.

A staged picture. Jeff was showing Brian the sights. But Brian ruined it by looking at the camera.

Matherhorn.

Ride The Lightning more like it. First song off of that album straight up Discharge rip off!

Splash Mountain.

We are about to do the what probably have been done before. Christina got soaked really good.

Hitlered.

I cannot believe they did not take this picture down. It's clear as daylight what we were doing.

III. Good bye So Cal. Hello Nor Cal.

The Valley.

I really have no clue what part of The San Fernando Valley this is. Can you tell?

Dorm Life.

Jenny lives large! Just look at her merchandise. I wish I would have gotten the shitty pizza magnet in this picture.

Friends.

Jenny and Remy went out for drinks at this fancy place. I guess we missed out on an awesome zombie movie premier. Damn!

The Big Dipper.

This Roller Coaster rules! Guess who rode it way back when? I'll give you a clue. He's in a Misfits lyric.

Ice Cream = Smiles.

That's me enjoying a tasty treat. Vanilla Ice Cream, chocolate shell and peanuts. Yum!

Boardwalk.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Put your shoes on. We're stepping outside tonight. The seaside needs us more than ever."

Logger's Revenge.

It was a hot day so we decided to ride a water ride. But guess what? It got cold right after. Teaches us a lesson.

San Jose.

I stayed for a day and a half up north. Didn't make it to Frisco. But next time I will and say hello.

IV. Shows.

Human Rights.

Word that night was that the Bad Brains were playing Downtown L.A. Boy, what a waste of time that was.

High School.

Make sure to check this band out! I cannot wait for the demo to come out. I wanna hear a Ramones cover next time. Thanks.

The Adored.

Yes, they are a three piece now. New songs are brilliant. But are they Back With A Bang now? Only time will tell.

V. Wii.

Competition : One.

Luke's television is made for this gaming system. Tennis is so much fun! Kyle is making the Woo face!

Competition : Two.

My cousins playing Wii tennis also. I need to work on my back hand that I can slap some bitches when they get out of line.

VI. Celebrating Jeff.

Legacy Of Bro-tality.

Brian / Bryan Sandwich. Meats are made up of Jeff and Marko. Hot! I mean what fags.

Flannel Pals.

Go and Jeff takes a moment to pose for a picture. I didn't wear a Pendleton that night. Oh dear.

Just Another Crowd.

Some of the attendants for the dinner party. Who knew that Jeff had these many friends? Crazy!

VII. Hang Outs / Randoms.

McDonald's.

We knew that the Bad Brains weren't gonna play so Jon and I stole Jenn's car and got some food.

Searching.

Let me introduce you to Emdawg. Half of the dynamic duo, Survive. Check out "Rock For Light And Magic" album.

Lazy Bish.

Kyle has nothing to do. He lays in front of my house on the lawn because he doesn't have a job. Amazing.

Embrace.

Bryan refusing to give Luke a hug. How bummed (in) is Luke? He just wants a touch of another man. Gay.

O.G. Apartment Crew.

Well, part of it at least. Can you guess who isn't going bald? There's only one correct answer, me. I rule!

Magic Machine.

Josh W. has this in his garage. Brian is very jealous that Josh W. lives like a king.

Hollywood Babylon.

Walking and talking. Remember when Christina use to hate being in pictures? Now look at her posing and such.

Eighteen by Alice Cooper.

"School's out if you're a homo!" That's right! Kyle turned 18 years old this month. Yellow cake!

Pool Games.

They played a bunch of different games. Some of them they made up the rules along the way.

Coca - Cola.

Kyle is most ill and he's rhymin' and stealin.

Think Blue.

Carl is a Padres fan. So I have some good news for him. They won this bout. Damn it!

Outro:

It's Summertime! Well, a bunch of my friends are moving to far away places. I don't really want to make new friends. The question is when am I gonna meet that Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill?

That's the month of May. Friends all ready have plans for the month of June. It's just a bummer that I cannot participate in some of them since I cannot get time off from work! It's awesome how you bust your ass and when you need time off it's denied. I guess I just have to face the facts that I need to suck it up and and that's how life goes. Every feel like or thought of choking out your boss? Yeah, so have I.

Where Am I ? - Tear It Up

2007-05-14T08:22:36Z

Everyday I lose my way / I don't know what's inside me
Everyday I lose my way / things don't seem right

Everyday it seems I don't know what I'm doing
Everyday it seems I lose control
Everyday something hurts me real bad
Everyday another feeling goes cold

Where Am I?
