X-mas tree.

Bev and I almost bought a tree at Target for like $49.00 or somethin', It was like 6 feet tall. Then her mom told us she would get us one. We go and pick it up, its this small small tree. Even though we were pretty disappointed, it looked pretty good lit up and in our window. Then Foxy ate the electric cord. Ruined everything.

Road sign.

It was Foggy the other night.

I'm doing this.

Thats that. I'm building a shelf. Putting it on a wall. Then collecting beer cans, which I've consumed. I like it when beer is in a can. Sure its sometimes better out of a bottle. I don't fucking care. Beer! Cans! Aluminum! Cylinder! Stay-tab opening mechanism!

An empty aluminum can weighs approximately half an ounce

In North America, the standard can size is 12 U.S. fl oz (355 ml; 12.5 imp fl oz). In India and most of Europe, standard cans are 330 ml (11.6 imp fl oz; 11.2 U.S. fl oz). In some European countries there is a second standard can size, 500 ml (17.6 imp fl oz; 16.9 U.S. fl oz), often used for beer (roughly equal in size to the non-standard American 16 U.S. fl oz (473 ml; 16.7 imp fl oz) "tall boy", also often used for beer). In Australia the standard can size is 375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 U.S. fl oz). South African standard cans are 330 ml (11.6 imp fl oz; 11.2 U.S. fl oz) and the promotional size is 440 ml (15.5 imp fl oz; 14.9 U.S. fl oz).

Many consumers find the taste of a drink from a can to be different from fountain drinks and those from plastic or glass bottles. In addition, some people believe that aluminum leaching into the fluid contained inside can be dangerous to the drinker's health.[7] The exact role (if any) of aluminum in Alzheimer's disease is still being researched and debated, though the scientific consensus is that aluminum plays no role in the development of the disease.[8][9] Aluminum cans contain an internal coating to protect the aluminum from beverage corrosion, but still, trace amounts of aluminum can be degraded into the liquid, which amounts vary depending on factors such storage temperature and liquid composition.

I'm not really worried about that last part. I know how I'm going to die. (Heart disease, or Heart Attack. I'm cool with it.)

Anyhow, I remember going to Catalina with my buddy JohnL. He got a beer on the boat we were going on, He got a Corona in a can. It was magical! Here is a picture, I'm pretty sure he had it at this point, but its not in the picture. I know I had a picture of it. i don't know where it is, or if I still even have it.


I also re-call the first time I saw Fat tire in a can, I was excited.

Good song. Good part.

Band of Horses - "Is there a ghost."


The song may not mean as much to you as it does to a lot of other people. from the sole fact of it being in Guy Mariano's part in Fully Flared. Every time I hear either Band of Horses song from his part I get goosebumps.

4:40 for "Is there a Ghost. The first song is Band of Horses "The funeral."

Well hot damn, Treasure Island!!!

Treasure Island could start as early as 2011 with the first residences ready for occupancy in 2013. The terms of the agreement include a guaranteed payment to the Navy of $55M followed by an interim payment of another $50M, plus an additional share of potential further profits.


GO HEEEEEEEEEEEERE

I use to own a Jeep Cherokee

Getting a tattoo while giving birth.

Pretty trashy... I wonder if it was to direct attention away from the other. From giving birth, or getting the tattoo? Hmmm.

Something like...

..."HIDE YOUR WALLETS: There's WOMEN in here."

Keep the beat.

I was.

thinking, yeah that shirts pretty alright, looks comfortable. Then I went to the website. Its $295 dollars. No way.

Van Halen.

The goods...

AIGHT SON DAMN!!!

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day, cause Sundays are like the worst ever at the place of my employment. But I'm drinking a Tecate right now trying not to think about it. I've got a few things to say.

1. My consecutive days off (Monday and Tuesday) I'm going to try my best to take some good photos for everyone to gasp at. Key word: Try.

2. I need to get my act together and start doing a musical project. Possibly maybe bringing back 379show, or maybe even Big Baby Christ Hole. Or just starting something else. Solo. I really need to play my Guitar more than I do, which is still pretty frequent. But haven't been really doing toooo much.

3. Rain can pretty much suck it, I want to skate. Fuck this pussy snowboard shit. One of the only good things the rain is for (E-brake fun) isn't as fun when I have to use the foot e-brake and hold the release with my left hand. Toyota Avalons don't have the hand brake.

4. Guess what I'm about to plug into my computron? An iPod. I.N.I!!!! I.N.I!!!! (Not mine Bevs. But still, pluggin' it in. I.N.I!!!!)

5. I want these shoes sooooooooooooooo bad. I am all about FTC.

6. Also, shoes wise. These are pretty alright. You can say what you want, but Etnies been cleanin' up they act. They have Devine Calloway on, and these pretty much look like a pair of vans. Plus a shoe partnering up with a fucking Beer! God damn genius! 'Cause I guarantee people who be drinkin' beer, wearin' some motha fuckin' shoes! (most at least.)

7. My Hair is getting long.

8. I'm drinking tecate. I'm starting to purchase it more and more. Its pretty legit.

9. I'm going to try to also put some short skits together for viewing pleasure. Skits be written as we speak.

10. I'm peacin' out from this particular post.

kthx

This is looking good.

Nike SB Don't Fear The Sweeper Trailer



update, here is the video I tried to post, except the last one was cut short.

Npr listeners pick best music of 2009.

On NPR's website here.

Here is the video for the number one pick. Its good.


I'm pretty much down with it all.

I want a van! sorta.

Its true, kinda. I'd be down with a van right now. Not mini! But like, a conversion, or astro, E-series, a rapist type looking one, or maybe even a VW bus.

Well, I found this one, that is pretty awesome. That interior is pretty much radness.









I then went to that websites "contact us" section. That where I saw this dude.



I was like whoa!

So I went ahead and photoshopped this ibanez RG770DXLB guitar in with him.

Birthday invite video & Blooper reel.

Birthday Video Bloopers from Rick Rendon on Vimeo.

by the way. I had to create a Vimeo account just now. Cause Flickr (where I normally host my small videos) only allows 120 seconds of video. I've often trimmed back videos to fit this limit. Well, here is to a new era of maybe a bit longer in length video. Oh and btw, this party already happened.

Some birthday pictures.

I had a really good time. Everyone who came, you are the best.

No post til next week.

I'm busy this week.

Wasn't going to do a post this week.

But, these are amazing.

I can't wait for them to come out. They are going to be the next shoe I buy. Pappalardo is the man, I like his style, and the things he skates. I will support him. He is also a woodworker? If I had the income, I would have my own woodshop too.

World Aids day is also Bevs B-day.

Pops supports both I'm sure.
