12/20/03 - I'm Still #6

I have a few links for you today, but not much else.  I'm done with school so I don't really have much going on.  I just sleep all day.  Strangely it's 10:30 AM and I am awake, but who knows how long that will last.  I have partying to do later.  I gotta get my KRS and TMBG tickets today, that's my X-Mas present to myself.  Nothing like old school hip hop and geek school robot rock to rock you in the holiday season.  So yeah, it's winter break and I have a month of nothing to do.  I got a 4.0 this semester for the first time in my life.  Thank god I am an art student or I would probably have been doomed.  I mean really, how hard is it to take a picture.  I wish I had a cool story or something, but I have latterly done nothing in the last two weeks.  I got a freelance job at richmond.com but I haven't gotten any assignments yet so who knows.  I ate a whole lot of super meal worms and blood worms in some contest that I lost, that was pretty horrible.  I filmed some stuff for the Day By Day movie.  I am pretty sure it's going to be amazing so I am glad I could get myself in there a little bit.  Anyway, I guess I'll go, but I'll leave you with some links as a X-Mas present. Word.

PS.  If you go to college, call your college radio station and ask them to play the album Big Fun by the Gaskets.

I updated Photos By Igor.  Go to it now.  New pictures, new naked chicks, new portraits, new scans of published work of mine.  Today their was an earth quake in Richmond.  The first one I was conscious during.  At some point their was a Quake in VA, but I was asleep and that was years ago.  This one I felt, it was insane, the whole building was swaying and shaking.  Amazing.  People were screaming and shit, I was just hoping the roof would come off or something.  The best part is that the DVD shelves I built last night didn't topple over even though they are only held together by wood glue.  I just wish we had baby earth quakes all the time, that shit ruled.  I am officially done with my one exam, and my last portfolio review is tomorrow, so in theory I will have more time to work on this page for the next month or so, but I wouldn't expect anything on account of me hating you and all.  Yeah that's right, I hate you.  Um, yeah, nothing else to say.  Rock Most On. 
Here's November...


12/1/03 - Turkey Like Woah...

Now that break is over, and I am slightly fatter, I can come to you with the news, and the news is pretty fucking okay.  First of all, how many of you saw my Dolphins beat the fuck out of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving?  How sweet was that shit.  If they played like that every week they would be Super Bowl Champs in a heart beat.  Best game ever.  

Vote for me for some reason...

Anyway, what else is up...  In World Famous Gasket news, tomorrow is the add date for Big Fun.  This means that 300 college radio stations may or may not start playing the classic debut album tomorrow.  If you go to college or live near one, call them up and ask them to play "High Five Club" or "This Is Your Proverbial Life" by The Gaskets.  Then keep calling them until they play it.  Then once they do play it, call back all the time and ask them to do it again.  They will get the point eventually and then we will come play your college.  Then you will get to hang out with me and I'll give you free stickers or something.  So make the call right fucking now!  So we just sent out "Big Fun" to a ton of Magazines and web sites, so hopefully we will start hearing back about that soon.  We got our first review in a local paper.  Read that shit here.  They like it, maybe you will.  If you ever run into any Gaskets press, let me know ASAP. 

Okay, next point.  I had kinda an insane break.  You see my AV friends although probably good people, are not the brightest kids you will ever meet.  Two days before thanksgiving, two of them, who happened to be watching Steve-O videos decided to be Jackasses.  The video that resulted is perfect evidence for people who think that TV causes violence.  Anyway, my friends decide they would start lighting shit on fire.  They took lighter fluid, poured it on their fingers, lit it and put it out, then they lit their whole hand, their arm, their ass, etc.  It was funny enough.  The other one, decided he would do what we call in the sideshow profession a "burn".  If he knew what he was doing he certainly wouldn't have used lighter fluid.  Anyway, he took a swig of the lighter fluid, and spit it at a lighter causing a big flame... woo, he breathed fire.  Fantastic.  The next step was to have the first one hold a paper towel on fire and have the other one blow fire at it.  Unfortunately the paper towel burned too fast causing my friend to try to put it out.  My other friend decided instead of just spitting out the fluid, would try the burn anyway.  He spat the fluid straight down into the flame and set both of them on fire.  The girl filming all this screams and puts down the camera like an idiot and you miss most of them on fire.  You do how ever see the explosion and see them set on fire.  This was clearly one of the funniest things I have ever seen.  And what makes it better is that one of my friend doesn't have to go back to Iraq any time soon, cause his fucking face is melted.  Oh man...

This same weekend, a few days later, with the same friends, some guy taught me the sleeper hold (see old videos of the Million Dollar Man for an example of this).  I tried it on the marine, and choked him unconscious in about 10 seconds.  Unfortunately when I let him go his head smacked off the floor and he got rug burn so badly that half his face was bleeding.  What was more unfortunate was that I didn't get it on tape.  I did get it on tape later when I did it to two other people, but it wasn't as painful looking.  Also that night I dressed up in a hockey goalies pads and let people jump kick me.  Only one person could knock me over.  That might be on video too.    Hopefully I will have all this video on my site in the coming weeks, but its really up to the guys at Day By Day who have the tape at the moment.  It's probably going to end up in their movie, Teenagers From Mars.  

So I guess that's it for now...  This is worth linking.
