I Gots Paid

Put the game on, it's playing right now.

Harvard, yes the school sent me a solid check this week, for just being so cool and not going to there school. No, but seriously, they did some work on my brain (MRI accompanied by memory questions, online testing, then a mental challange in one of there buildings) because I'm a legal genius (not even close) but to have a check written to you from them, is the beginning to a phenoms story.

Then check this site, firstshowing.net.
I've come across it before but never had the chance to dig in. And if you're a movie fan, or actor/director follower, it's something you're going to want to check, and I'll be adding it the the sites that I check daily. There were a few things that I had heard, before checking the site, that I found a lot more about.
First off: Throughout the month there is currently some re-taping of Where the Wild Things Are. The film, directed by Spike Jonze, is in the hands of Warner Brothers, and it looks like what Jonze first put together was "too weird and too scary." They're looking for a more "family" type of flick. I do have to say that this is obnoxious really, let the creative aspect do what he wants, but I understand the whole Hollywood shenanigans. But at least Maurice Sendak is in on it, so it should be true to his original story, which if you haven't seen it, check it out.
In the same category was the interview with M. Night Shyamalan, who tries to go against the grain and do his own thing, full props to that. His next film, The Happening is due out this Friday, and even with the no current income on a weekly basis, I do want to check it.

Also, if you check highsnobiety, you may have seen several pairs of Nike nylon kicks, what's the deal with those??

If you have any idea I'd like to hear it.
I'm out.

Game 1

And it goes to the Celts! Sick nasty with it. Well at least it was a good game and everyone who watched got to see KG mouth several times, "Mother Fucker." I'm a little short on material as of now, cause of this exciting life i lead. Haven't had much time at the computer in a few as the job hunt is still taking place, this is the shittiest thing around really, i could hunt a real animal better than a job at this point.

I'll be back when i can.
Outie,

Shredding the snow gnar

I know, I know, it's summer. But that doesn't mean we can't discuss a little snowboarding. And who wouldn't mind a nice, fresh, few feet of the white stuff dropping overnight. I know I wouldn't. Although I know it would be a hefty 6 hour drive back to Boston to get my board, in order to shred it, but still I wouldn't complain, cause I do love the snow, and cold. Weird I know, but its my inner penguin. Speaking of Penguins, they put up a fight for it tonight against Detroit but unfortunately they lost. It was a nice season and better luck next year for sure. Ok back to boarding, it looks like Mack Dawg Productions, who has been in the snowboarding film game for 20 years now, and ten years ago dropped Decade, is doubling up for Double Decade due out this fall, it looks to be an instant classic. Check out the teaser...

I've watched it about a dozen or so times now and it looks just as ill each time.

Also I still need to check out this video, out from the wileys at DC, who are always doing crazy shiz, but the DC Mountain Lab 1.5 video looks absolutely insane. Mainly in part to team manager Ken Block rocking his Subaru rally car off a 171 foot jump and pulling the riders around on the snow. Todd Richards says it best, "Get that damn car off of the hill."

It looks dope and hopefully sometime this summer I see the entire thing.

That's all folks, keep the shredding alive.

P.S. Let's hope for a good NBA Finals, Go Celts.

Movies

On movie news it looks like a Documentary will be coming out on one of my heroes, Mr. Hunter S. Thompson. Entitled Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, it appears the film will delve into his life, and include never before seen audio, video, and manuscripts. Here is the trailer:



Opening July 4 it seems, meaning only a month away. Along with the film, I hope to this summer (after reading the 3 books collecting dust on my desk) read a biography that I saw at the local book store the last time I was there. For those of you who don't know who Hunter was, if you've seen the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the book with the same title was written by him ( by the way I also highly suggest reading the book, as it is just as insane and a hell of a story. I've also read The Rum Diary, which as I constantly keep checking back to IMDB, it looks like at some point it is going to be made starring as of right now, Johnny Depp. I still need to check out his film and book, Where the Buffalo Roam, which the movie stars Bill Murray as the Doctor.

Apart from Thomspon a new flick featuring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly titled Step Brothers looks like a nice little comedy flick for the summer. Check out the red band trailer below or get your own copy from apple movie trailers (another favorite site of mine).



That's it for now my minions.

You know how it is...keep it real

Tuesday Tunes day.

Tuesday and I'm a few days late but it's June. Sick. Although I'm still unemployed, a true bum is what I've become, for the most part I don't mind. So, if any of you have seen the Justice video Dance, here it is.


I'm a fan of the electronic beats and the music video itself is tight.

Now those of you who are hip-hop fans, here is a name that you should be hearing soon enough, Wale. He is making some noise and his current cd Mix Tape About Nothing is available for free, in collaboration with clothing company 10 Deep. But he just did a Justice remix seen below.


For those of you Wu-Tang fans, the Rza, an avid chess fanatic has teamed up with some other chess groups and put together Wuchess.com a hip- hop chess site where people can play and listen.

I do have some more info I want to share with ya, so I may drop another story latro.
Peace dogs

Back in Action

Well, well, well, it's been awhile. These past couple of weeks I can't really tell you what i've been doing, besides not working, not getting a job, sitting at my computer for hours doing absolutely nothing. It's time to get back on the hustle, doing some designing, hopefully getting at that website, and then once some money comes my way, getting some new designs printed. If anyone reads this, pass the word on to your friends, and any ideas for clothes or graphics, we would love to hear them. But until next time, here is a little fun for ya: hope you are fans of Flight of the Concords, if not, you should be. Also if you like impersonations here is a guy who thinks he's great but really NOT.
Thanks for the second from my good friend AG.
And if anyone is looking for some good time wasting besides stumbling, then check out the Arab Parrot.
