Black Dog Gelato, Honey 1 BBQ, Bike Ride, Lake, Thrift Stores, Run/Walk Around Humboldt, Beautiful Weather….. yeah, this isn’t twitter, but what the what? My day was pretty damn perfect. On twitter, I love the Tosh.O “Twitten By” segment, very smart.

Crazy tripped out seed pod object that TJ got in at Sprout Home.  I love these.  I have a bunch of photos of these in the plantmode section in the photography-ish section.  

VOIVOD, they  are a heavy metal band from Quebec, and well… not much other than that, meaning I just like saying the word Voivod.   I was peeping some world cup news yesterday, and I saw the president of FiFa talk about instant reply, regarding the blown goal call against the British team, Fuck them anyway, but yeah, the guys name is Sepp Blatter.  Sepp Blatter, did you get that?  Are you seeing how dope that name is?  Full on space bounty hunter type shit.  I know this dude works for Boba Fett.  

Just walked over to Star Lounge for a coffee, they have it good there, check it if you haven’t.  I have a realization today, that I need some new clothes.  I lost a bit of weight since last summer, and all of my tenty shirts got to go.  I went to American Apparel and almost bought a couple of 26$ tank tops, sanity kicked in and told me not to blow 50$ on two little tank tops, so… to the thrift I go!

Anyone else freaked out about the oil leak in the gulf?  Were rocking it at day 72 I think.  That is some fucked up shit.  Literally, the earth is bleeding.  I have a feeling this could be the start of something bigger,  and much scarier.  And if the anit Obama people get their way, we will for sure be splitting up the country.  I’m going to Central Illinois when things go down, (which they are not), lots of good water down there.  Off to search for shirts.

Remember these? Maybe they are fresh in your mind because you were just on a nice road trip. Myself, well… it has been too long. I have done some traveling and such over the last few years, and could for sure use more of that, but I have not been in a car, going to a place of some great distance in over 10 years. I”m not proud. I was thinking of my friend Johnny Coultas, and wondering how he is, when I recalled very vividly a nice trip we made to Atlanta from Champaign. Sauntering through the Smokeys was the highlight for me, and that little two lane road that goes through there is steeped with scenic lookouts. The whole concept is pretty dope, people are building roads, and they look up and think “this would be a nice place for people to pull over, catch a little rest, and look
out over the amazing view”
Thank you!

This is Harpo, my friends Michael and Alicia’s great kiddo.  I have yet to meet Harpo, but it looks as though our common friend Crash may have met her first and taught her how to crash out.  Context is awesome.  I miss them.

Hot goal in the 92nd minute, some call it a Golden Goal.  Congrats.

More Sonny and Cher than me and my beats at the moment.  Weird out of nowhere output cut.  Even the obvious checks didn’t check.  Been staring at the machine a bit long.  That said, hello world.  Three to four maybe, maybe none, sometimes some.  I like it in all manor.  Ugh, and can I just get a grip on the idea that my system needs to all be on the same surface, i’m on some two table actions, and when looking at the screen the output of my loop is behind me, on a record player, no reach possible.  Tomorrow I search for a cheap like sturdy desk level table.  Cool, I got that covered.  My day tomorrow should be kinda of nice.  Wake, walk, World Cup (only one match, sleepily looked at 9am, then some  at home work for work, looking forward to it.  Mega editing, major chill.  Dog bath, walk/run, table search.  I regress, as some snob fool once said somewhere actually unimportant.  The lights are on in my living room currently, this is the room i’m currently in.  The overhead lights have never been on for more than a few seconds, just enough to see what i’m plugging  something into.  The last 30 or so minutes they have been brightly, too brightly on.  Off they just went, and night i’m going.  Those were thoughts from the razzle tree.  Go US Soccer, I have usually always rooted against them, the the greener in me.   It was the last World Cup when I started to root for the team.  Now,  I mean come on, nice squad to watch play the game.   Ok, that was form nowheres.  Peas.

PS, this song fucked up my head today.  I kinda never listen to any Gang Of Four.  I know i”m looking for this on wax now.

Was peepin the IFC channel the other day, and this show came on, The Whitest Kids You Know.  Pretty funny, very Kids In The Hall.  This sketch killed.

Just to get this out of the way, I met… well…. I saw a rooster twice today.  Just into Humboldt park, Poppy saw him first, slight tug of the leash.  But yeah, a really big rooster was just coolin’ out in the south end of the park.  Between Humboldt BLVD and Kedzie, 20 yards in from Augusta.  It was looking kind of on the dangerous side of things, so we just passed along.  I thought it odd, and instantly wanted to call my friend Jenn, she lives near that side of the park, just to let her know she will be hearing this freak of a bird tonight.  I say tonight based on the only experience that I have with roosters.    A college house I lived in back in the Oly days, called the Pirate Ship (there was plenty of wood deck on the front and back of the spot)  Nice and in the country, and a nice country stroll bike ride to school.  It was the small house that the people who lived in the huge house just behind our place build to make some look off of greener students that needed housing.  I hear it is still a shit time looking for spots in Oly, if your a newbie evergreen student that is.  off topic fully here.  At this house there were 6 roosters and a peacock that lived on the property.  The peacock was cool, I mean it wasn’t my nice new car that it liked to walk all over, scratchin up the top and such.  It was chill, big and chill.  But the roosters, man… they sucked.  There is no cocadoodle doo at sunrise!  These trick ass birds make their crazy call at all hours of the night.  I love wildlife and all, This was the house that I learned to watch birds at, so many crazy types of birdies around.  ”Oh look, a hawk!… no wait, its a turkey vulture”  Four types of swallow would battle for space in our yard.  It was great, but yeah, there was one animal battle that I was down with, the roosters vs whatever it was that was slowly hunting them down.  I like to think it was an electric land seal.  So yeah, Jenn.. you might hear the faint crow of the rooster at all hours tonight.  Hope not.  Oh night, that reminds me, the second time I saw the rooster was on my just now rad 11pm dog walk/run around the south side of the park.  Right when I was thinking, “this is about where we saw that rooster today”, We ran up on him again.  He was a bit more lively this eve, ground hunting.  There was lots of rain today, so i’m thinking there are all kinds of worms on the surface tonight.  Roosters delight.  What the whah?

Was testing out the new Sprout Home video camera, put some fout tet behind.  Confusion and color.

When the White Sox won the series a bit back, I was happy.  I live in Chicago, so of course I’m down with that, but being more of a Cub fan made it somehow not so complete.  This is complete joy, I have been into the Hawks for a few years now, a late comer to the sport for sure, but hey, better late than never.  What fun.  Here are some photos that I took, of the tube, right after the game.  My favorites are Kane doing the raised shaky hand thing, and Bufuglien skating with the flag.  So there.  I will try to make it to the parade, I gotta see the cup…. I mean, it is going to be here in Chicago, this is hot shit!

yes really, this is from a still from some stupid haynes commercial.  Ok Ok, he isn’t paying any homage to Hitler or anything like that, and that isn’t what the trouble is, the trouble is…. this is fucking stupid.
