Heyooo

Well, well, well.... look what we have here.... and actual entry. I haven't done one of these thingys in like... YEARS! Totally! Okay don't make fun of me for trying to sound cool. I've been trying to get one of these in but between the new job, family visits, masturbation, dog sitting, grandma sitting, and the pool I just didn't feel up to it. Plus nothing is really going on lately. I missed a bunch of rad shows I really wanted to see, haven't been to the theater for a movie since The Dark Knight, no travel, blahblahblah. So there hasn't really been much to talk about. I've actually been trying to stay home a bit more. Keeps me away from alcohol on work nights and spending money that really ought to be going to credit cards, or as I like to call them "my goddamn fuckin bitch ass cunt card". I did manage to score the rarest dunny from the UK Kidrobot series by Doktor A.



Yeah, I'm sure your all so jealous your pretty little heads could pop but it's a big deal to me. What? Fuck you guys!!

Oh, AAANNNDDDD there's a dope new Alex Pardee show in Portland at Zerofriends!! I think it's about the only reason to go to Portland. And maybe some good pot.



I know i tend to go on about Alex but I just can't get enough of him. I don't think i would say he is my favorite artist, but his style and talent inspires me to try and push my own art as far as possible. Maybe if I ever finish some of my stuff I'll post it on here and feel all cool. Until then I'll continue reading my new book and playing with my new toy....




But I must say all this hermit behavior is really taking it's toll on me. I wanna go out and meet some new people but I've always had trouble doing so by myself. I usually meet people through other people or at some social event where I'm around at least a few familiar faces. I'm finding now that most friends I used to spend practically my whole time with are moving on. Several have moved away, had children (love you Alex and Andy and Jordan!!), or just seem to be on some other level than I am now. Not in a bad way, just not the same. I know I can't do the same thing as I have been for so long. Change is good. I just feel a little left behind, like everyone I know and everyone I meet is already on their way to the future while I'm struggling to clean the past out of the present. I know, boo hoo Mike. Its just life. Get over it. I'm just sayin.......

On a happier note the summer is ON! It's been getting pretty damn hot out here in the desert! Thankfully I have a great pool in the back yard. My aunt just switched out chlorine for a slightly salted pool. It's amazing!! It's much easier on the body and the eyes (kinda like me). I thought it was kinda strange at first though. The water tastes like tears. I felt like I was swimming in a pool of tears. Sounds like a heavy metal lyric.

Enough for now. I bid you all farewell with these lasting images of my newest obsession/boyfriend Johnny Gunn. Ciao darlings.

I'm tryin'

really hard. job rocks. money rules. I have a bunny with tentacles. nachos rule!!!!! Raves are cool again??? take only what you need from it.....

ciao

Overdose - it's gonna be a Pardee

For those of you in the Santa Monica area this coming month with an itchin for some groovy visuals i highly suggest you go check out the Overdose art exhibit by Hi-Fructose @ the Copro Gallery opening on April 4 and running thru April 25. There is a barrage of amazing artists:

Alex Garcia Alex Pardee Andrew Hem Annie Owens Anthony Ausgang Attaboy Bob Dob Brandi Milne Brandt Peters Brendan Danielsson Chet Zar Chris Berens Chris Owens Chris Peters Chris Scarborough Greg "Craola" Simkins Damon Soule Dan May Dan Quintana David Correia Ekundayo Eric Fortune Erik Alos Femke Hiemstra Germs Glenn Barr Gris Grimly Jason D'Aquino Joe Vaux Josh Keyes Kathie Olivas Kenji Kokamoto KMNDZ Kris Kuksi Kukula Lola Luke Chueh Makiko Sugawa Mars-1 Martin Wittfooth McBess Mia Michael Page Naoto Hattori Nathan Spoor Robert Hardgrave Sam Gibbons Scott Musgrove Sergei Aparin Shag Skot Olsen Thomas Han Tin Tom Haubrick Travis Louie Viktor Safonkin Vince Cacciotti Yoskay Yamamoto Yosuke Ueno Yoko D’holbachie

Now I'm not even going to try and claim that I'm familiar with all the artists but some of my favorites will be there including the beartastic and totally woofable ALEX PARDEE!!!!!!







So anywho you should check this shiot out. (yes i meant to write shiot biatch) Unless you have better things to do. Like waste money on expensive cocktails in a club/bar that could give two shits about that gucci shirt you raped yourself on and just wants your money/time/life. I'm sure you have way more creative preoccupations. And plus you just ain't got time for them hoes.

ciao

Jobby Job. And so on

I got a job!!! It seems to be a great job. I make more money, work for a more reliable company, have a better cafeteria, can wear jeans, and it's only half a mile from home! I'm very excited. The only problem is getting to bed in time. After months of staying up till 3am watching Battlestar Galactica and Absolutely Fabulous I seem to be having trouble being asleep at a reasonable time. Go figure. But I'm getting up earlier and really worn out from today so it shouldn't be a problem in a day or so. Now i can hopefully have the funds to see Ghoul when they come to town in a couple months! Word!

So I got a text the other day from my friend in LA asking how i was. This was about a week or so before i got the job. I felt bad that all i had to offer was whining and pity for not having a job, or a life or whatever. But he still seemed keen on the idea of me coming out to Long Beach and spending a little time with him. I was so happy to hear that he still welcomes me even though we haven't had much of a chance to see each other in a year or so. He's such a nice person (and handsome too). He even said with his flyer miles he might be able to swing a ticket for me. *swoon* Now that I have a job it will be hard to manage that for a couple of months but what a sweetheart. It's always easier to deal with the present if you have something to work towards and look forward to.

School is also much more feasible now. I figure if I save my money and only make minimum payment to my 2 credit cards I will have plenty of money to take care of the next 2 semesters and still have a few grand saved for Tucson if everything works out. I REALLY want to go to Tucson. NAU ans ASU just don't appeal to me. Either too hippie or too..... well, Tempe. Cross ya' fingaz.

The latest media is Mitch Hedberg, Army of Lovers; Crucified, Alex Pardee, (the super handsome, intelligent, talented) Jeremy Fish (see video below), Hole, The Killer Gerbil, oh yeah and I finally found the blog and store for flyingfortress!! (see below)
