Un-retired...

i waited almost a year for the perfect post to bring me out of retirement. the day has finally come. unfortunately, it'll be a short lived un-retirement, as i do believe all posts start AND end here.

until next time. enjoy...

i'm shutting this blog down...

consider me retired.

Can you guess which one my mom is?

Here is a portrait of my mom. You can see the back of her head and she's wearing a winter cap. See her yet?

and admire their ingenuity, evidenced here by the temple scaffolds. this (un)carefully crafted bamboo structure is mounted by construction workers to get to where they need. i mean, standing on a piece of bamboo 40ft high while hammering some tiles is not my idea of safe and sound. but then again, Thais are known for their big cojones, and that, my dear friends, i can attest to...

Megs is at our house right now...

no, not because she misses us. not because she wants to catch up and reminisce about the old days. no, not to enlighten us with stories of her wild lifestyle.

she's here with the sole intention of completing a 100pc puzzle, by herself, within 30 minutes, as i did. her ass is huddled in the corner of our living room floor, seated doggy-style, with her mug buried in it, and she's getting really really anxious. she's currently at 50 minutes and about 70% finished.

sucka!

update:
as a result of her pestering, i am to inform you that she completed the remaining 30% in 10 minutes, thus a total time of 1hr. yeah, she's cool like that, but not as cool as i am.

i love these things...

ok ok, i get it. a bunch of you shmucks take pleasure in making fun of my overweight, domesticated, boring old man ways (i guess not all of you, just Megs). well, let me provide some more fuel for your fire when i say hellz yeah, i love me some jigsaw puzzles!

i've been obsessed with these things. so much that i even purchased shoes that resemble them (see below). i started off with a 100pc set for sh*ts and giggles, finished in like 30 minutes, then upgraded to a 1000pc which i completed in 7 days, followed by another 1G.

i think this is madness. this is what old married couples do! (oh wait, that is me). damn!

and plenty more.

and more...

a FishEye for your indulgence...

another resolution...

this year i'm resurfacing from exile and will make a concerted effort to get back on track with art. not only for my edification, but simply because i have all this material that's been shelved for way too long. i'm gonna unleash all kinds of stuff this year (hmm, that's a bold statement, let me rephrase). i'm gonna make an attempt to unleash all kinds of stuff this year, so be on the lookout!

for starters, i'm gonna use these (which have all been buried in my closet) a lot more...

and the minivans the Thais use for personal mini-tours are super fresh. these little buckets are usually pimped out by the owner/chauffeur and provide the utmost comfort in all your traveling needs. my fam and i rode this one in '98 from one end of Thailand to the other. yes, we looked smokin' hot. and yes, we're down with O.P.P, yeah you know me...

wrist candy...

i received one christmas present last year courtesy of my boo (see above), which brings my yearly average of gifts received to......one. thanks boo!

not much into fancy articles of clothing, but if there's one (or two) things that i'm a sucker for, they're shoes and wristwatches. my achilles heel.

Just because you have a uniform and a gun...

seriously, what the fuck is wrong with cops?

warning: video contains graphic footage...

yeah, i'm a fan

i apologize for regurgitating material thats already all over the interweb but i'm simply out of topics to talk about on my blog and way too lazy to exercise my brain right now in fact i think i'm completely shutting down my blog soon and will now post as many must see f*cked up tracy morgan videos as i can......til the end son see i even refuse to use punctuation marks thats how lazy i am

i'm addicted, again...

forgive me if i love prime-time tv shows with attractive, late 30's/early 40's brunette MILFs. it's my guilty pleasure. just like my other addiction, i've been watching a gang of "30 Rock" episodes and can't shake the drug. me want more!

plus, this guy is freakin crazy...!

vote for Best Song Of The Year......

by a diminutive, pea-sized rapper. the battle is up between 3'7" T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" and 3'2" Lil Wayne's "Lollipop".

shawties in da house!

more reason to hate LeBron and Nike...

just read these game notes from the xmas day matchup between the Cavs/Wizards in Cleveland:

The Wizards intended to wear their blue road jerseys, which included a white holiday snowflake on the front. But James wanted to wear blue to match his new Nike “chalk” shoes and the Cavaliers sent an employee to Washington to fetch the Wizards’ white jerseys. … James didn’t ask for anything for Christmas, but he got what he wanted anyway. “My girlfriend got me pajamas and a back scratcher,” he said. “I always want my back scratched and she doesn’t want to do it all the time. I wanted a back scratcher bad as hell.”

what's even worse is that conceited, self-loving routine he pulls before each game where he throws chalk in the air, thus the shoes aforementioned. and on top of that, he plays alongside anderson varejao, boobie gibson, and zydrunas ilgauskas. what a bunch of pansies...
